RICHARD VISITS JEFFRIEs
Referee Earnestly Chats With Cham-
MON But Diyuiges Nothing

Rem Lomond, Cal, June 13.-It was
sucb a big day for Jim Jeffries yes
terday that he is expected to put in
almost all of today resting up from
his Sabbath exertions.
Jim Corbett and Joe Choynski re-
turned to camp yesterday with big
visiting delegation that came down
from San Francisco in special train.
Tex Richard was in the party and he
became Jeffries' guest at the luncheon.
Rickard would not intimate anything
at all that the two discussed over their
buttermilk but he chatted freely of the
confidence he said Jeffries had expressed
In his ability to deprive Jack Johnson
of the heavyweight championship.
..Jeffries surely thinks he's going to
win," said Richard. HE told me he
was fully satisfied with his condition
and sure he can do himself justice.
There has been some criticism, be-
cause 1, since my appointment as ref
cree. have visited the camps of the
two fighters. but I do that because l
want to be friendly with both of them.
Jeffries has asked me how the colored
n gh ter looks and Johnson mas asheu
me the same thing about Jeffries. l
always give each a like answer: That
the other man is in tip-top shape.
Richard stated that he has not dis
cussed the fight rules with either of
the principals.
"I don't need to- he explained. i
am sure it will be an easy fight to
referee. Both johnson and Jeffries have
volunteered to clear up any point
might be hazy about but so far I
have not asked either for any ad-
vice"
The picture fight deal is likely to
keep Richard here throughout the day.
Jeffries was in the best of spirits
yesterday and during his sparring he
kept up a running fire of bantering
chatter with his opponents.
1t develops that Corbett hurt his hand
in landing on Jefries' jaw His thumb
was painfully strained but the injury
Is probably not serious enough to in
terfere with his boxing
Muck boxing is being looked for in
the open arena in the next week or
two. Corbett and Jeffries are slated
to get together daily from now on.

remains were still in transit Sunday,
however, and all efforts on the part Of

negro.
The police were notified this morning to
look out for two runaway boys. Fred

A Bold Robbery at Store Of
E. 5. Shepard & Co.
THIRD WITHIN FEW MONTHS
Thief Took Advantage of High Wind to
Cover His Act and Hurled Scantling
Through Window-Took the
Best in Display.

Taking advantage of the high wind
as a cover to his act, r thief hurled
sesntling through the display window
in f. s. Shepard & Co.'S store or Elm
street at Ii 80 last night and then, when
no one came to find out the cause of
the noise, be crept up and snatehel the
most valuable rifle IN the window, thus
making the third successful burglary Of
this store since last January. There is
little to serve for a clue.
That the robber was very bold II
shown by the fact that the store is only
few feet from Aiaii. and Washington
streets, where people were passing, gnd
also BY the fact that the street light
almost opposite was burning and the
store lights were in full illumination,
making the street at that point almost
as light as day In addition there were
tenants just above the Shepard store
and houses near by. The noise of the
falling glass was heard by people on the
street, who thought it was caused BY
blind slamming in the wind against
window One of them, at least, took
the trouble to look out and saw no one
on the street.
1t is likely that the robber coolly
waited in the alley near by till all
chance OF interference was gone, having
been ready to sneak away had the noise
drawn people to the place. When no
one came. he went to the window and.
reaching through, made his selection out
OF large assortment. The scautling
had made an aperture large enough for
man to crawl through, and the piece
Of wood was found this morning on the
sidewalk where it had fallen The mis-
sile probably came from the nearby ex-
cayation on the site of the old bank
building
The robber took a Remington auto
matte rifle OF 25-35 calibre, the retail
price of which was $3.50. The rifle is
OF unusual design, and there probably
is not one like it hereabouts. The stock
is of the finest selected dark walnut, and
on the right side OF the stock, about
three inches from the butt plate, is
small scratch made in shipment. The
rifle has a pistol grip. There were Win
chester automatics, Martins and Stevens
rifles in the window display, but the
stolen weapon was the most valuable.
Mr.. Shepard was not notified Of the
break until this morning, when a tenant
upstairs found the glass scattered on
the sidewalk The proprietor investi-
gated, and discovered the robbery. with
the loss of the Remington rife. So far
as he can determine. nothing else was
taken from the window, although there
was almost enough there to stock an
arsenal This store has lately been the
mark for robbers, who first entered by
a rear window and then again by the
front door, carrying off considerable loot
each time. This latest effort was by far
the boldest and shows more cunning, as
the robber figured that even if people
heard the noise of the window breaking
they would attribute it to the action
Of the wind The crash came during a
particularly heavy wind.
