Moran Kills McCarthy In
San Francisco Fight
Fight PromotersAlarmed
SAN FRANCISCO. April 30.—
Owen Moran, the Knglish lightweight
pugilist, was formally charged with
manslaughter today as a result of
the death of Tommy McCarthy, his
opponent in last night’s prize tight.
Five other men, seconds aud at
tendants Of the two pugilists, hare
been booked at police headquarters
on the same charge. McCarthy did
not recover consciousness after a
fearful knockout blow delivered by
Moran.
In his cell today, Moran mourned
the death of his opponent and plain
ly showed his trepidation. “Poor
poor boy," he said almost weeping.
“It was an accident, but a terrible
one."
“Then, wiping his eyes, the Eng
lishman declared the tight was un
der a frame-up agreement. It being
agreed that McCarthy was to be al
lowed to stay through 15 rounds. It
was in the 16th that Moran sent a
terrible cross to the Jaw that sent
his man to the mat, unconscious.
Moran spent the late hours of the
night and the morning on his knees
In his cell, praying for the recovery
of his opponent. He is very bitter
against the managers and promoters
of the fight, who have not been ar
rested.
Sporting circles here are obviously
disturbed over this latest prize ring
fatality, fearing the effect it will have
on public sentiment toward the Jef
fries-Johnson fight. Johnson this
afternoon cancelled his engagement
to appear In a public exhibition to
night.
Principals and seconds of the fatal
bout of last night were this afternoon
nrarigned before police Judge Con
lan. Willie and Johnnie McCarthy,
brothers of the dead fighter, were re
leased on their own recognizance,
while the others were held in $500
bonds each.
This evening Moran and all the
men arrested with him were admit
ted to (ash bail to appear at the in
quest over the body of McCarthy,
which has been set for May 5th.
While running a car down a trestle
grade near Dayton the wheels left
the track, throwing R. Lathrop and
A. Plponia over a flume, with result
of serious Injuries to both men.

Mr. Russell states that taking of

required to bury all Indians If shot.
For a time enumerators could not get
within speaking distance of the red

explanation, with result of no further
difficulty.

ELY CENTRAL IN PERSISTENTLY SOUGHT
ORE BELOW FAULT PLANE IN EUREKA SHAFT
- I ~ — — ■
Ten Feet of Carbonate Mucked Out
of Bottom and Still Going Down**
Much Enthusiasm Made by Strike
The Eureka dump of Ely Central
Is green with carbonate ore and the
bottom of the Eureka shaft Is a
kaleldescope of malachite and azur
ite. Ely Central has the ore and
the district is delighted over the fact.
Everybody's hut is off to the plucky
engineers of the company, who in the
face of much professional opposition
maintained that the ore of the steam
shovel pit of the Nevada Consolidated
would be found in their property and
continued steadily ahead with the
working out of their theories.
Wednesday the Eureka shaft pass
ed out of the rhyolite and into the
fault of Copper Flat which nearly
splits the steam shovel pit in two,
and which is now known to pass
through the Ely Central’s Eureka
workings. It was yesterday morn
ing on the graveyard shift that the
shaft dropped into the carbonates,
and and for the rest of the shift the
carbonate copper ore was being hoist
ed up in buckets, and at the end of
the shift it was an excited bunch of
miners who came to the surface.
The day shift worked enthusiastic
ally, with result that before it was
through in the afternoon another
five feet of the Eureka shaft was
shot out. The buckets were working
like little steam shovels, and ore was
coming up from the bottom all the
rest of the day. It was great looking
ore, harder, heavier and better look
ing than that of the early morning.
It was full of the greenest malachite
and the bluest of azurite and it was
a real pleasure to look at it. They
were last night down 10 feet In the
ore. which fills the shaft and this
; morning are likely to have 15 feet
depth in it.
Early in the day a big chunk of the
ore was sent down from the mine and
paced on exhibition in the office of
Herrick & Kerin. It was not long be
jfore the news of the strike in Ely
Central spread, for the miners com
ing down on the early morning train
told of it, and their excitement was
so marked that the importance of the
find in their view W'as readily real
ized.
No greater excitement has been
witnessed in Ely since the days of
the boom. People crowded into the
offices of Herrick & Kerin and the
ore was the subject of discussion
on all sides. It was the general com
ment that the find was the most sen
sational in importance since that of
the ore In the Nevada Consolidated’s
steam shovel pit. Uy noon nothing
else was being talked about anywhere
but the ore strike of the Ely Central.
A number went to the mine from
East Ely and Ely on the noon train
and saw for themselves what real
ore looked like coming out of Eureka
shaft. There were plenty of speci
mens for everybody, and plenty were
left when the visitors had all they
wanted to carry away. Comparisons
were made with the carbonate ore of
the steam shovel pit just alongside
the Eureka working of the Ely Cen
tral, and the ore was found to be the
same in every respect. It could be
nothing else, for it is a continuation
of Nevada Consolidated’s ore body.
The Ely Central is going right
ahead in its quest for the ore. The
engineers of the company are of the
opinion that the Eureka shaft will
drop into the primary ore, but the in
dications now are in favor of the
shaft reaching the sulphides even at
the depth to which it has been sunk.
The argument against this has been
that the shaft is too far below the lev
el of the steam shovel pit to where
commercial ore in the pit has been
proved. Should the Eureka shaft
drop into the primary, they will have
to crosscut to the east, through the
fault and then drift to the south, to
1 ward the Chispy claim in which direc
tion the ore body of the pit is mak
ing.
But even at that a pleasant dis
appointment may be in waiting for
the Ely Central. They may get the

SALISBURY, N. C., April 30.—To
the memory of that famous pioneer,
Daniel Boone, civilizer of the North
Carolina and Kentucky wilderness,
founder of Boonesborough, Ky., and
central figure here in the many
boyhood stories of Indian fighting
and hunting tales, memorials were
ceremoniously dedicated at Holman's
Ford, near here, today. These prom
ise to become a mecca for patriotic
pilgrims.
On the historic spot where Boone
spent nineteen years of his vigorous
young manhood, hunting and resist
ing the skulking Redskin, patriotic
North Carolinans have erected on
the exact site of the old homestead,
a few hundred yards from the Yadhin
river, a new log cabin, a replica of
tne one occupied by the intrepid
hunter and his family. Directly in
1 front of the simple building stands
a handsome shaft of native Roman
granite forming an Indian arrow
head fifteen feet high and mounted
upon a massive base. Ornamenting
I this is a bronze tablet bearing the
name Daniel Boone and the date of
bis residence in North Carolina. Both
of these memorials were dedicated
with appropriate ceremonies in which
many of the direct descendants of
Boone and a score of others who
boast their relationship to the pio
neer participated.
An elaborate program of exercises
had been arranged for the event. J.
R. McRary, president of the Daniel
Boone Memorial Association, was
master of ceremonies, and Governor
William W. Kitchin. presided. The
