Last night in the Board of Trade billiard tournament Kilroy, 1l5, beat Cramer, 1S5, in 1O2 innings. Cramer had 133 when Kilroy cleevrly executed his last billiard. The game started off with Kilroy in the lead but Cram CT soon got going and for a long time the match was nip and tuck.
 Tonight one of the great games of the season will be played in class C. It will be between Judge Lomen and Jeweller Mueller and will be desperately contested. They are ancient fivals having clashed cues for many years. Last season Mueller beat the judge by marrow margin and the judges is reported to have offered to wager a thousand dollars that he couldn't do it again. Any way tonight's contest will be a hot ore.

Last night at 7:30 Haggerty walk ed into the police station and gave himself up as he had heard he was wanted. He said as he had been out to the creek. He denied that he had broken his parole as he did not know he was out on parole. He said that he understood Chief Nelly to mean that he could come around in the morning and get his blankets, but did not understand that he was ob- ligated to appear he next morning on honor.
 When he gave himself up he waiv ed his rights whatever he had. and submitted to serve out his sentence. Had he not done so there might have been number of fine legal ques ticas to solve in connection with the incident.
