DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1000. vaqm nil GHOONER AND NTIRE GREW LOST FEARED united rnnss leasko wire. San Francisco, Dec. 23. The fato of Captain' Harry L. Hansen and tho nine members of tho crew of tho lumber schooner Susie Plummer Is causing much anxioty In shipping circtlos hero today. Tho schooner was last sighted by tho liner Kaga Maru about 100 miles southwest of Capo Flattery. She ap peared to have bteen abandoned. The owners of tho Susie Plummer, beyond the receipt of a dispatch stating that the government tug Snohomish left Neah Bay late la3t ovoning in search of the ship, have had no word from her today. They are of the opinion that if tho ship has been abandoned, the crew has been picked up by a passing vessel, and is now en route to some coast port Tbo Susie Plummer left Puget -Sound for San Pedro December u. Sho carried a cargo of lumber. make their hand stronger they stood ace high with the fighters. When Rickard came along and asked Gleason to go in with him on the- $101,000 proposition, Jack re alized that the fighters were, bound to give it consideration. As both Jeffries and Johnson woro agreed that under any and all circumstances Gleason must be one of tlie pro moters, he cast his lot with Rlckard, after Kccuringfl Coffroth's consent to the new alignment. In this connection, it is stated. Gleason's hold was so strong that had he not joined hands with Rlck ard, the fight would have gone to despite tho fact that Rickard's bid was tho best. Johnson and Jeffries did not feel that Rlckard alone could handle the battle and make a suc cess of it, because of his lack of ex perience, and as they were favorably inclined toward Gleason, for other reasons than his experience, they practically Insisted that Gleason must have an equal sharo in the pro motion of the fight, whether It went to Rlckard, Coffroth or some one else. o E. C, CROSS & SON . Seattle, Wash., Dec. 23. Accord ing to a wireless dispatch received "horto this afternon from the captain of the steamer Minnesota, the wreck of the schooner Susie M. Plummer was passed at 10 o'clock this morn ing southwest of Flattery. Tho ves ael was dismasted and waterloggied, and there was no sign of life on board. All the small boats were gone and tho schooner was drifting helpless ly, a dangerous derelict. No tidings have rteached here as to tho fate of Captain Hansen and the members of tho crew.

San Francisco, Dec. 23. After all Tex Rlckard may know what he Is talking about when he tells us in mournful numbers that Salt Lako will be the Jeffries-Johnson battle ground. When Rlckard came out with his statement that tho Mormon metropolis would get the big battle, the governor of Utah declared in most emphatic terms that tho fight could not be pulled off in Salt Lake or any other city in Utah. Now, however, ho has changed his tune. "I do not think tho fight will take place in Salt Lake," he is quoted as saying in a dispatch from Philadel phia. "Besides, Jeffries has been accustomed to lighting in San Fran cisco and I do not thing that he would be able to fight in the high altitude of Salt Lake." That the business men of Salt Lake aud other Utah cities arc over whelmingly in favor of holding tho light there is is indisputable, and that they may have exerted their in fluence with tho governor In favor of Rlckard is not at all improbable. Rickard teems so sure of his ground that it is safe to assume that he ""knows something." Among his "backers are some of the most influ ential and wealthiest men in Utah, and it is a cinch that they are not go'ng to leave any stone unturned to "bring tho biggest thing in pugilism to Salt Lako. In the meantime Jack Gleason con tinues to plug for San Francisco, de claring for this city just as emphat ically as his fellow promoter Is de claring for Salt Lake. Rickard is expected here soon after Christmas, and then he and Olson will thresh matter out. Gleason today denied that one object of Rickard's mission to this c'ty is to talk with tho local people, who promised to aid Coffroth financially in case he landed the match. Gleason also denied that Rlckard holds tho big end of the match. "It's a straight case of half-and-half with us.' 'ho said. "As to tho story that tho $20,000 put by the promoting end when tho final articles woro signed belonged to Rlckard in its entirety, I will leave that to Rick ard to answer when he arrives here. We are going to carry this thing out in a business like way, and will talk things over llko business men. If wo fall to agreo on the time or place, or anything else, we may let tho toss of a coin decide for us. As to Salt Lako. I have never said positive ly that tho fight would not go there. If wo can bo shown that Salt Lake will do better by us than San Fran cisco It would be foolish for us to pass It up. However, my contention nil along has been that San Francis co Is the place, for the reason that wo know what San Francisco can and will do, while on tho other hand past records fail to show that Salt LaWe can do nearly as well." Information was obtained today that throws now light on tho mat ter in which Gleason and Rickard got tho match, or rathor how Glea son got In on it. Rlckard was clos est to the wire throughout tho race for tho plum, and both Coffroth and Riokard knew it. Joffries bolng Gloa son's most intlmatio friend, and John son also being inclined toward him. Whon Gleason doubled up with Coff roth all parties wero satisfied, and tho two San Franciscans had the fight as good as won then and there. Thoy had tho fight won. they had tho permits and tby had the altos. The general public is invited to call at the market of B. C. Cross & Son to witness the Xmas display of choice meats, sausages, etc., which is the best that has been displayed for several years. With their Xmas display they also have on exhibition a picture of their grand display made at the same market in 1892. This display was headed by thb largest heifer ever killed on the Pacific coast, which was a full-blooded shorthorned Durham, and raised on the Ladd & Reed farm In Yamhill county. This animal weighed 2375 pounds and dressed out a not weight of 1525 pounds, E. C. Cross paid 11 cents per pound live wteight for this heifer, which mado a total of $265. This picture also shows 17 of tho finest steers the Wlllametto valley ever produced, the aggregate weight of which was 28,000 pounds. Thirty five large fat sheep were also In this exhibition, which, together with 42 young pigs, and thousands of pounds of lard and cured meats, mado a dis play the grandest ever seen or to bo seen on the pacific coast. The pic ture has recalled to tho memory of the old-timers the great display, which is evidenced by' tho crowd which has gathered around it the past three days. It will be there for oth ers to see until Wednesday morning, when tho steers which they now have on exhibition will bo cut up for tho anxious ones who are waiting for a nice juicy steak or roast. The father and grandfather of tho present firm took to San Francisco on December 24, 18G8, the famous Oregon Baby. This was- a 7-year-oid short horned Durham steer which wilfcrltedi 34 60 pounas gross.
