 Constable Joe Clark had his pre- liminary trial last week before a justice of the peace, for the killing of John s. Crabtree and was releas- ed. His plea was one of self de- i fense.

FRANKIE BURNS, CALIFORNIA LIGHTWEIGHT
 BOXER, IS 24 TO-DAY

Fresno is famous as being the.cen- ter of the California raisin industry, but 1t also has other claims to fame. It is the birthplace of Frank Leroy Chance, the once peerless leader of the diamond, and it was the scene of etChtef'' Meyers baseball debut, 4'Chief'' having been engaged to kick job press and print raisin boxes five days a week and play ball on Saturdays and Sundays. Fresno is also entitled to whatever glory ap- pertains to the birthplace of Frankie Burns, the California lightweight box er, who was born in the raisin city just twenty-four years ago to-day. Frankie-Who is no relation to the little Jersey City boxer of the same name-started his pugiIistfc career in Oakland, to which city he removed at the age of fifteen. He absorbed con- siderable education in the Oakland high school and was engaged in the occupation of railway billing clerk when the boxing bug bit him. It was all quite accidental. Frankie had never had a glove on when one night, with a bunch of boys, he attended a boxing show in Oakland. It was an amateur affair. One of the featnerweights listed failed to put in an appearance, and the referee invit- ed any featherweight present to step to the front and take the place of kthe1n issing lad. Frankie's compan- ions dared him to volunteer, and young. Burns proved himse1d 8 good sport by marching up to the ring. Frankie's friends expected he would get a good drubb1ng, but instead of that the youngster waded into his more experienced opponent and won by a mile.
 After that Burns became boxing bug for fair, and, after cleaning up the amateur ranks, entered the pro fessionaI arena. His first year in the ring, 1908, he took part in nine bouts, and got nothing worse than draw. In 1909 he defeated a number of lads, including Willie Ritchie. who

 Within a short time the work of rescue will be useless as all those buried under the ruins will be dead. The entire population is extinguish- ed, the people either being dead or wounded in hospitals.

 there are thousands upon thousands homeless and generally penni1ess, are urgent The cold weather, which continues, adds to the suffering, and temporary Buildings Of wood are be- ing erected as fast, as possible to house the homeless.
 Just how severely the Marsica dis tricts suffered. In which Avezzano is located is best told in a terse tele- gram which Monsignor BagnoIi, bish- opS of the Marsica region, sent to Pope Benedict The telegram reads: :e The Mars1cat diocese has been transform into a. great cemetery. Avezzano; Capelle and Paterno are razed and almost all inhabitants are dead. EccIesiastics, some dead, some wounded.
 "A few villages in the diocese are immune but generally deeo1ation reigns immune. but generally desolation reigns. It is an immense and distress ing catastrophe.'
 The Pope, in reply to this inforrna- ton, telegraphed the following:
 Being the father of all the faith ful but first of the unfortunate, am pierced with grief by this immense misfortune TT extend my arms to my unhappy children and am praying for peace for the dead and comfort for the sur vivors.''
