MANY Injured

Taft, Oct. 28-Cheers of excited
fans watching the battle between
Jack Lester and Sam Langford were
suddenly turned to shrieks this after
noon when a scaffolding in the huge
fight arena collapsed, dropping more
than 100 spectators to the floor,
twenty feet below.
All were painfully injured. Several
are in a serious condition.
Physicians were summoned and the
work of extricating the injured from
beneath the mass of splintered wood
lasted for some time.
The collapse of the scaffold created
a panic among the thousands who
had crowded into the arena to wit
ness the battle of the pugilists, hun
dreds ran for safety. Those who
could not descend the tiers of seats
fast enough leaped to the ground
At moment when the battle in
the ring was most intense, the tim
bers broke and twelve rows of seats
dropped, sending their scores of occu-
pants to the ground.

Wet Winter, says Prophet

Changing the subject, here comes
the weather sharps, blessings on them,
for they suggest that rain coats and
life preservers will be in order before
the winter is ended According to the
Sacramento "Union," Father Ricard,
of Santa Clara university, who has
won international fame by his study
of sun spots and their relation to eli
mate, has issued prediction concern
ing the weather of the coming winter
in which he prophesies that we will
have abundant rain. He bases his pre-
diction on the rain reports in Califor-
MIA extending from earliest times
down to the present year.
These records show that in Califor-
MIA years Of drought have always come
singly. Usually there has been a year
of scant rainfall leading to the drought
then the lean year followed by year
leading back from the drought to nor
NAL conditions. This is the year Of the
return to normal conditions.

Ed Shefey Trial
In Superior Court

The case of Ed Sheffey, colored,
charged with assaulting Charlie With
row, also a negro, with intent to kill,
at Brawley July 81 was called in the
superior court by Judge Cole at II
o'clock this morning.
1t is claimed that Withrow with 9TH
er negroes was sitting on a horse
trough east of the railroad at Braw-
ley when the refendant, Sheffey,
came up from behind and they started
to run. Sheffey then fired, it is al
legged, shooting Withrow in the back.
E. R. Stillens, one of the trial jury
venire, created considerable amuse-
ment when he was excused from the
jury by Attorney Burkhalter of the
defense by suggesting to the court
that he be excused from the venire.
He based his plea on the fact that he
has apparel at numerous trials III
court during the present term and was
only wasting his time and that of the
court, as he has not been accepted as a
juror on any case.

range weather predictions based on

range weather predictions based on
years of experience would be regard
ed with some suspicion, but Father
Ricard has shown wonderful accuracy
in his weather predictions. He is the
first scientist to find direct relation
between the sunspots and the weather
and his work has won the attention
ard respect of the worlds scientists.
He finds that the sunspots indicate
plenty of rain during the month OF
November and his charts show no in
dications Of dry winter.
There is no reason to apprehend
dry year just because at this season
we have had no rain. October is not
usually rainy month. Even if rain
did come it would not do much good
and would do some damage. In few
weeks the grape crop will be out Of
the way.
While we can not pin our faith to
prophecies concerning the weather, 1t
is encouraging at least TO have the
prophets predict moist winter.--San

De PALMA WILL
ENTER AUTO RACE
CRACK ITALIAN DRIVER EX-
Poets TO WIN INDIANAPOLIS
SWEEPSTAKES.

Ralph De Palma, the intrepid young
italian merican who came near Win
ming the second annual 500 mile Inter
national Sweepstakes race on the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway last year,
final lap will again try his luck IN
the third annual five century contest,
which is scheduled for May 80.
De Palma recently visited Indiana
polls to make arrangements for ga
rage space at the Motor Speedway
and to contract for hotel accommoda-
lions for himself and his racing crew
De Palma will head a three-car team,
the other drivers being Caleb Bragg
and Spencer wishart. These men will
drive Mercer cars in the big race.
It will be remembered that a few
weeks ago a story emanating from
Texas was sent abroad to the effect
that DePalma had lost his nerve and
had retired from the racing game for
ever. When traced to its source, 1t
was learned that this gossip had been
circulated by. man who represented
himself as being De Palma The 1tal-
ian driver at this time was not even
in Texas but in New York, and in
stead of thinking of retiring he was
making active preparations to enter
the indianapolis race.
The story of his alleged retirem emit
was a sad blow to racing enthusiasts,
for De Palma stands high in the re-
gard of sportsmen and is perhaps the
ted states today. He has made thou
sands Of friends both in and out OF
the racing game, and now that it is
definitely known that he will partici-
pate in thecoming race at Indianapolis
there is general rejoicing.

JIM CLABBY NOW RECOGNIZED AS
REAL LEADER MIDDLE WEIGHT CONTENDER


Milwaukee middle weight was aEso
afraid of hurting his hands against
the hard head of the Greek, who kept
well covered up most Of the time.
Clabby demonstrated that he carries
a good wallop in either hand, but 70
was like battering a stone wall 60
land on the Greeks head. Brown S.
certainly one tough proposition for
any fighter to go against. About the
only way to best him decisively would
be to blind him by closing his eyes.
and that is what Clabby evidently In
tended to do for he had one Of them
in mourning early in the contest
CIabby's judge of distance and his
generaIship was all that could be ask
ed of the clever fighter, and II ne had
been against a man of his own class
his showing would have been appre-
ciated 1t is not the first time that n
clever boxer has been made to aD-
pear poor himself when opposed TO a
man who knows little Of the game.
and that is what C1abby was up
against. His showing against Brown
was enough to convince the writer
that he will stand a much better
chance against Eddie McGoorty than
would have been suggested a year
ago. C1abby is a legitimate middle
weight who can do 1873 rfngside
easily and is entitled to q bid for the
championship honors.
