The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, May 25, 1896, Page 2

2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 25, 1896. ; W ola Hospital in Oakland a year ago. She was a lady of fine literary attainments. John 8. Bugbee was a good lawyer. As a pleader he had few superiors. He began his law work in San Francisco asa man- aging clerk for John T. Doyle, and was subsequently admitted to partnership in firm of Doyle, Barber, Scripture & Bugbee. His accurate mathematical knowledge and his special ability as a pleader made him a power in the Montgomery avenue, New Montgomery street and Dupont street widening cases. In 1885 John Lord Love, then City and County Attorney, appointed Mr. Bugbee as a deputy in hisoffice. Mr. Bugbee held that position for two years. During the recess in Congress in 1889 Mr. Bugbee was appointed United States District Judge of Alaska, but the mission- aries made such war on him that the Sen- ate declined confirmation. Subsequently President Harrison ap- pointed to the office Judge Warren Truitt of Oregon, and thatappointment wasac- ceptable to the Senate. Two yearsago Mr. Bugbee visited San Francisco to receive the attentionsof an oculist. His vision was impaired and his eyes were badly inflamed. His health in this regard was soon restored and he re- turned to Alaska. Since then he was re- ported by dispatches from Alaska to have organized a company to assist in the set- tlement of the boundary disputes. He was elected captain of the company. Three sons of Mr. Bugbee reside in Cali- fornia. The eldest, Maxwell G., is an architect in this City. The others are Winslow and Arthur Bugbee. A daugh- ter, Bessie, is marriea and living in Ore- gon. John 8. Bugbee was 57 years of age anc a native of Nova Scotia. He had in him the elements which “ender a man popular among his fellows. He was intellectual, genial and warm-hearted. LR S WORK OF THE CONVENTION. Presidential Preferences and Finance Omitted in the Platform. SEATTLE, Wasn., May 24.—The steam- ship Al-Ki, which arrived in port this morning, less than four days out from Juneau, brought the following advices: The Republican Territorial election was held at Juneau on May 14, resultingin the election of Hon. 8. C. Johnson ana Thomas Nowell of Juneau as delegates to the National Republican Convention at 8t. Louis. Mr. Johnson was formerly United States Attorney for Alaska, and Nowell is probably the most extensive mine-owner and operator in the Territory, possessing among other properties the famous Berners Bay mines. Judge Wil- liam A. Kelly of Wrangel, Alaska, and T. R. Reedham, associate editor of the Alaska Searchlight, Juneau, were chosen alter- nates. The delegation goes to St. Louis unin- structed as to Presidential candidates, but standsupon the appended platform, which is silent upon the money question: WHEREAS, The past year has demonstrated more than ever before the need of representa- tion from Alaska in the Congress of the Cnited States, and feeiing assured that when these 1acts become known that a speedy remedy will be given; and, whereas, the isolated condition of the Territory of Alaska and the great dis- tance from the seat of Government render it impracticable for Congress to know the condi- tion of the Territory; therefore be it Resolved, That the development of the conn- try, increase of population and investment ot capital demand more legislation by Congress, and we respectfully ask that Alsska be ac- corded a delegate in the Congress of the United States to the end that our legislators may be enabled to act intelligently upon such legislation #s may be needed by the territory. It is probable that a contesting dele. tion, consisting of C. A. Young and C.S. Blackett, who, according to the Mining Record at Juneau, are “‘against McKinley at all hazards and for Reed if possible’” will go to 8t. Lows. The Record claims their selection was brought about by G. W. Delamater, who a few years ago achieved fame and distinction as Senator Quay’s candidate for Governor of Pennsyl- vania. The Democrats of Alaska have called a Territorial Convention, to be held at Ju- neau on June 1, for the selection of six delegates to the National Convention at Chicago on July 7. AWFUL TRIPLE MURDER, Father, Mother and Son Killed at a Small Town in Missouri. Robbery the Apparent Motive — A Young Man Suspected of the Crime Is Missing. AVA, Mo., May 24.—The whole Sawyer family, consisting of father, mother and grown-up son, were found murdered in their home, one mile eastof tkis place, yesterday. Ernest E. Sawyer, the son, had stab wounds in the throat and right breast, had both jaws brokep, and head and face beaten to a jelly. He had been murdered in the barn and the body dragged to the house. The skulls of both father and mother were crushed in. Mrs. Sawyer’s left arm was broken, evidently in trying to ward off a murderous blow. The three bodies were piled together under a bed and covered with a blanket. The object of the crime appears to have been robbery. The Sawyers came here from Linn County, Iowa, last November, A young mgn named Perry has been arrested as the murderer. SR CHOSE TO DIE BY FIRE. A Young Woman Soaks Her Clothes in Coal 0l and Ignites Them With a Match. JEFFERSONVILLE, Isp., May 24.— Betta Meyer, aged 23, committed suicide in a horrible manner. She recently came from Berne, Bwitzerland, and lived with her brother-in-law, William Ricnenberger. Her sister dieda lately. This and home- sickness deranged her mind and yester- day she slipped into the kitchen, soaked her clothing in coal oil and ignited it with a match. Her brother-in-law tried to tear the burning clothing from her body and his hands were almos t burned off. A S 4 BAPTIST REVIVAL. Three Big Meetings in One Day at As- bury Park, N. J. ASBURY PARK, N. J., May 24.—There were three Baptist meetings here to-day. In the morning the Rev. W. H. Paunce of New York delivered a sermon before the American Baptist Publication Society in the Auditorium. In the afternoon the American Baptist Missionary Union met in the Auditorium and were addressed by the Rev. George Builen, D.D., of Massa- chusetts. In the evening the American Baptist Home Mission Society conducted services in the Ocean Grove Auditorium, The sermon was preached by the Rev. E. J. Johnson, D.D, 4 GERMAN ENMITY TOWARD ENGLAND. Signs of a Desire for a Conflict Are Apparent Everywhere. NEW TROOPS FOR AFRICA Colonial Jingoes Highly Elated Over Credits Voted by the Reichstag. EAGER FOR A BOER ALLIANCE. Dark Days Are Predicted for Great Britain When the Coronation Fetes End at Moscow. BERLIN, GErMANY, May 24.—The reso- lution which was passed by the Reichstag last Tuesday granting the Government a | credit of 2,000,000 marks for the purpose of adding 420 men to the military force in German Southwest Africa met with very slight opposition. The action of the| House fitted admirably with popular feel- ing and bas delighted the colonial jingoes, who continue diiigently to advance their South African boom. The increase au- thorized by the resolution will give Major | Lentwein, the administrator of affairs in | German Southwest Africa, command of 1000 effective troops, which are regardedK as ample to suppress the rising of the | nalives in that territory. The origin of | the outbreak among the natives has not | been officially explained, but the uniform belief of the colonial party that the rising was fomented by British intrigue was given expression during the debate on the credit resolution in the Reichstag last Tuesday by a member of the Right, and the German press in articles on the subject denounce the English leaders who have been supplying the natives in Souti Af- rica with arms for years past. 1t is not the prosvect of crushing the ne- groes in Bouthwest Africa, however, that elates the colonial party in Germany. The Neueste Nachrichten, wbich is the foremost of the colonial organs, makes no concealment of the hopes of the colonials, and reveals perhaps more of the aims of the Government than are obvious upon the surface. The paper, after remarking that there is a community of interests be- tween the Transvaal and German South- west Africa despite the fact that the two territories are separated by Bechuanaland, adds that by means of the force of 1000 men, which Major Lentwein will have at | his command, Germany will acquire a po- | sition in Southwest Africa, the influence of which is already felt in Cape Town. The general situation, the Neueste Nach- richten continues, has undergone a change, and the Boers now indirectly re- ceive support of which time will plainly display its effects. The annual meeting of the German Colo- | nial Society will be heid here on May 30, when a resolution will be submitted prom- | ising the support of the German Govern- | ment in promoting the neutrality of the Boer republics as essential to the further- ance of German interests. This expression, | however, will hardly have the effect of sat- isfying the more advanced of the Colonials, who indorsed the demand of the Neuste | Nachrichten tor the establishment of an | offensive and defensive alliance between Germany and the Transvaal. The speech made by Joseph Chamber- lain, British Secretary of State for the Col- onies, upon the occasion of the South Afri- can annual dinner at tne Hotel Metropole in London Thursday evening, in which he sharply criticized the action of the Trans- | vaal Government in its vindictive treat- ment of the Johannesburg Reform Com- mittee prisoners, is vehemently denounced by the entire German press, the National Zeitung expressinz regret that President Kruger should have shown so great a de- gree of magnanimity toward the prisoners. A great international chess tonrnament is to be held at Nuremburg, beginning on July 20. The first prize will be §500, the second $375 and the third $200, besides which there will be tour smaller prizes. All of the best European chess masters are expected to be present, and it is hoped that leading American chess players wiil also take part. American purchasers of German manu- factures are devoting a great deal of atten- tion to the Industrial Exhibition, which is now running smoothly. Several orders have been lodged by Americans with one of the largest German firms engaged in the manufacture of machinery, aggregat- ing 100,000 marks. Exnibitors of dry- goods, however, complain of an utter lack of American orders. A great deal of interest is being taken in the Hungarian millennial celebration at Buda-Pest, to which place it is expected that a large number of people will go from Germany during the summer. Reports received here say that there were more tban 200 Americans in Buda-Pest last week, the majority of whom went from there to Moscow to witness the coron ation of the Czar. Before going, however, they ordered rooms reserved for them pending their return. Hon. John Wanamaker of Philadelphia , formerly Postmaster-General of the United States, during his recent visit here entered into negotiations for the purchase of Munkacsy’s latest painting “Ecce Homo,” but with what result is not known. The Khans, trotting-horse owners of Hamburg, have purchased the American trocters Bullet and Gloria, and the Beer- man Brothers of Charlottenburg have bought Dr. Austin and Lucy W. The horses will go into possession of their new owners after the ciose of the West End races, in which they are entered. Dr. Irmer, Governor of the Marshall Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, takes occa- sion in a report recently received from him by the Colonial Department of the Foreign Office to deny the truth of the attacks re- cently made upon the American mission- aries stationed upon those islands. Dr. Irmer pays a high tribute to the maligned missionaries who, he says, are peaceful and quietly devoting themselves to Chris- tian work, holding themselves aloof from all agitation. A great deal of regret is felt in court cir- cles here at the death of Archduke Karl Ludwig of Austria, brother of Emperor Francis Joseph, who died in Vienna a few days ago. The Archduke was regarded here as a thoroughly good, though by no means a brilliant, man, and was liked by all who came in contact with him, It is stated that the illness which caused his death was ascribed by his physicians to his drinking of the waters of the river Jordan, which he did as a matter of re- ligious devotion, upon the occasion of his recent pilgrimage to Palestine. The water of the Jordan is by no means pure, and in the case of the Archduke it had a tendency to bring on intestinal weakness which could not be overcome. An official announcement is made through the columns of the North Ger- man Gazette explaining that the proposal in the sugar tax bill empowering the Bundesrath to reduce or annul the sugar bounties as soon as other countries take the same action is associatea with the re- sumption of negotiations with France and Austria pointing to an agreement to the gradual abolition of bounties. France, which has hithereto been the chief obstacle in the way of the reduction or the abolishment of sugar bounties, is now understood to be willing to assent to the question of a simultaneous reduction in an international conference. The Weser Zeitung of Bremen contends that the sugar tax bill is not a fighting measure against bounties, such as the Gov- ernment desired, and that the Bundesrath, therefore, may allow the measure to die. contrary opinion is held in official circles, where it is contended that the bill will enable the Government to carry out its matured designs for an international abolition of bounties at an early date. The Whitsuntide holidays began with perfect weather. The sun shone brightly throughout the day, and the churches were filled with worshipers. The Emperor returned to Potsdam last evening and the whole imperial family | were assembled, the elder of the young Princes,Crown Prince William and Prince Eitel Frederick, having come from Ploen, where they are at school, to join the fam- ily circle. Excursion trains, crowded] to their ut- most capacity, brought thousands of per- sons to the capital to-day. The National Zeitung, in an article com- menting upon the coronation fetes at Moscow, says it is not without anxiety that England can lock toward the imme- diate future. After the fetesare over, the vaper says, the Egyptian question, which | has been tied up for Russia until the Czar is crowned, will become acute under Franco-Russian pressure. 10 VOTE FOR A BISHOP The Next Business of Importance Before the M. E. Con- ference. Colored Delegates Will Make a Fight for the Selection of One of Their Race. CLEVELAND, Osnro, May 24.—To-mor- row morning the Methodist conference will proceed to ballot for a successor to Bishop Taylor of Africa. The vote will be taken at half-past 9 o’clock. It is on this election that the color line will be most sharply drawn, as the colored delegates are determined to do a!l in their | power to elect one of their number to the position, preferaby Dr. W. J. E. Bowen, president of the Gammon Theological In- stitute at Atlanta. Another colored man who is being con- sidered for the place is Dr. H. A. Munroe, who heads the delegation from the Dela- ware conference. His friends urge that he has the necessary experience, having | been a member of the board of managers of the missionary society for years and that he has sufficient age to warrant his selection. About the only white candidate is Rev. Dr. Hartzeii of Louisiana, who has been for some years secretary of the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education Society. Dr. A. B. Leonard bas been spoken of, bat it | st not thought that he would accept the place. When this matter is out of the way there remains one matter of grave im- portance to be disposed of. Dr. Buckley will inauguarate and leaa a figh: to make the college of bishops co-ordinate in power in India with Bishop Thoburn. The bel- ligerent littie “Methodist Pope’ seems to “*bave it in” for the missionary Bishops, and he will try to hold the whip over the Bishop of India as he does over the college bishops at home. It was due to him that the conference decided to ignore Bishop Thoburn’s request for another Bishop for India,and it was due to him that a Bishop was refused for the South American field. e GASOLINE STOVE EXPLOSION. Four Persons Burned to Death and One Injured for Life. CHICAGO, Irn., May 24.—Four people were burned to death and one injured for life by a fire which occurred this morning at 148 Townsend street. At that number lived Otto Malm with his wife and three children. At 8 o'clock this morning Mrs. line stove, when the gasoline exploded and set fire tc the building. The structure was of wood and the family were all on the second floor ir. bed with the exception of Mrs. Malm. The fire spread rapidly ana cries of agony from the burning people was the first warning that outsiders had of the fire, Before the fire department re- sponded to an alarm Otto Malm, the father, was burned to death. The chil- dren, Otto, aged 8, Alien, aged 3, and Hilya, aged 6, were taken out alive, but died a few hours later at the hospital, Mrs. Malm will recover. el B DESPONDENCY AND DEATH. An Ex-County Treasurer Ends His Life at St. Pawl, Minn. ST. PAUL, MI~x., May 24.—Andrew N. Nelson, for four years Treasurer of this county—from 1891 to 1895—was found un- conscious in his office in the Schutte block at 4 o'clock this morning. Physicians were summoned and discovered that he had taken a large dose of morphine, ap- parently with suicidal intent. He was re- moved at once to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where shortly after noon he revived tc such an extent that it was believed that he would recover. At 3 o'clock, bowever, he began to sink rapidly, and ten minutes later he died. Ever since he went out of office he has been discouraged and finan- cially embarrassed. He was a leading Democrat and came to this country from Sweden twenty-two years ago. Bt casinion Three Persons Drowned While Boating. OAK HARBOR, Onio, May 24.—Hugh Conroy and Steve Janssen, aged about 25, and Mrs. Mary Janssen, the wife of the last named, were drowned in the lake near here this afternoon by the upsetting of their boat. Conroy was partly intoxi- cated and persisted in rocking the boat. Engagement Announced. ROCKFORD, Irn, May 24— The en- gagement of C. W.

MANY PERSONS INJURED Hail and Rain Accompany the Wind, Destroying All Vegetation. FARMS LAID BARE OF CROPS. The Area of the Stricken District Is Estimated at Seventy-Five Square Miles. NEODESHA, Kass, May 24.—A tor- nado passed through the western part of this county early yesterday morning. La Fontaine, a village of 200 souls, was almost destroyed. Two business houses, the Mis- souri Pacific depot and' the Christian church were wrecked, and almost every house in the village was damaged. A score of farmhouses north, east and west were destroyed. Aaron Edwards, a farmer, was fatally injured, and many others severely hurt. The aggregate loss on buildings and property is $25,000. Hail and rain accompanied the wind and de- stroyed every vestige of vegetation, The damage to crops is incalculable. The area of the damaged district is about seventy- five square miles. s A TERKIFIC CLOUDBURST IN IOWA., Tracks and Bridges Swept Away and Streams Become Rivers. MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, May 24.—A terrific cloudburst petween this city and State Center swept away nearly a mile of Chicago and Northwestern track, doing great damage to growing crops and other Linn Creek, a small stream flowing through the soughern portion of Marshalltown, suddenly became a ram- pant river. Bridges were swept away and large piles of lumber were carried down the stream. Ounly small buildings were wrecked, but the damage to property will be considerable. ARMS FOR THE YAQUIS. Americans Said to Be Supplying the Mex- ican Insurgents—Ranch Employes Massacred. ST, LOUIS, Mo., May 24.—A special from Hermosillo, Mexico, says: Advices bave just been received by the Govern- ment authorities here of an alleged ship- ment of rifles, pistols and ammunition from the United States to an American named Morris at Elijos, a small town below here. It is said Morris delivered the guns and ammunitien tv the Yagqui Indians, and the latter are preparing for a wore vigorous warfare against the Mexi- can settlers than ever. A bard of about 100 Yaquis attacked the ranch of Manuel Jernia, near Sarinposo, and killed four ranch employes and burned all the buildings. A large force of Federal troops are in the turbulent territory and have had a number of skirmishes with the Indians, L L RESERVATION OLL WELLS. OUsage Indians to Receive a Royalty on the Output. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 24.—During the last week there has been consum- mated the biggest oil lease made in recent After negotiations extending torough two years, the Pheenix Oil Com- pany of West Virginia has secured a long lease on land in the Osage Indian reserva- tion, comprising over 1,800,000 acres. Ar- rangements have been made to begin sinking wells at once. A few months ago the Osage Indian Council finally gave assent to_the lease, and the contract was prepared and exe- cuted after the Indian Affairs Department at Washington had been consulted and the Indians assured aroyaity on the output of any wells that might be struck. FAEARS OF AN HERESS The Runaway Girl From Ston- ington, Conn., Is Found in Montreal. Had Worked in a Boarding-House as a Servant—Her Dread of an Insane Asylum. MONTREAL, Quesec, May 24.—Maud C. Willams, the millionaire heiress, whose mysterious disappearance from Stonington, Conn., caused so much anxiety to ber friends, has been located here and will be taken back to her home, Last night a girl answering Maud Wil- liams’ description came up from Quebec by train. Train-dfpatcher Dunn of the | Canadian Pacific Railway noticed her and having read a description of the missing woman in the papers came to the conclu- | sion she was the person referred to. She | bad in her possession a card giving the | address of the place in Montreal to which she desired to go and Dunn noticed it. . Later a Jady put in an appearance, prov- ing to be Mrs, Montgomery of the Shelter- ing Home, and took her away. Mr. Wil- liams, brother of the missing girl, who ar- rived here a few days ago in search of his sister, on being informed that she was found, drove to the home. The girl made frantic efforts to escape when she saw the cab driving up and cried: “For God’s sake do not let them in, or t will put me in an insane asylum for life.” She then made an effort to escape through the window, but was prevented by the matron. She finally corsented to see her brother and the meeting was an affecting one. She afterward consented to return home. In giving her own story she said she came to Montreal, giving her name as Jessie Barclay. Said she: My object was to obtain a situation and earn sufficient money 1o go elsewhere. I first obtained employment 1n a boardine- house as a general servant. After a week 1 earned enough to go to Quebec, when my money became exhausted and I fell ill. T fortunately fell into the hands of some Christian ladies, who took care of me, to whom 1 gave the name of Jessie White,"” Mr. Williams was very much affected by the appearance of his_sister, who he claims is only a shadow of her tormer seli. —_————— Indiana’s Oldest Resident Dead.

COURSING AT TWO PARKS Lady Clifton Won the Sapling Stake at Ocean View Yesterday. PRISONERS. AT PORT TOWNSEND. Captain and Mate of the Ship Benjamin Sewell Arrested. CRUEL TO THEIR MEN. The First Officer Accused of Causing the Suicide of a Sailor. TORTURED WITHOUT REASON. William Mau Jumps Into the Sea to Escape From His Brutal Tormentor. PORT TOWNSEND, Wass., May 24.— Mate William Smith of the American ship Benjamin Sewell was last night bound over by Commissioner Swan to the United States District Court in the sum of $2300 bail, in default of which Smith is confined in the County Jail here. The charge against Mate Smith is cruelty to a sailor, Wwho jumped overboard and was drowned ac a result of Smith’s abuse and inhuman treatment of him. The story told by seven sailors who testified against Mate Smith was to the effect that on January 6 last, at 4 o’clock in the morning, on a voyage from Port Townsend to Shanghai, the mate went on deck to stand his watch and found Wil. liam Mau, a German sailor on watch, wearing a coat. With an oath, Smith ordered Mau to take off the coat, telling him that no one but the mate was allowed to wear a coat on that ship. Mau obeyed the order, but was not quick enough in his movements to suit Smith, who seized a belaying-pin and struck Man over the head with it three or four times, then knocked him down with a capstan-bar and struck him with™ his fists, bruising Mau's eyes. The morning was bitter cold, and Smith suddenly took a notion to warm Mau. He ordered another sailor to bring on all the clothes he could find, and made Mau put them on, tinally having a big sheet of can- vas wrapped around the fellow. Then he ordered Mau to get up and dance and sing on deck, telling him he did not want him to freeze. Mau obeyed as best he could, and a few minutes later, when Mate Smith went below after breathing more threats against Mau, the latter quickly stepped to the side of the ship and jumped over- board, never being seen afterward. Captain Sewell and Mate Smith of the Sewell are also under arrest on a charge of extreme cruelty toward a sailor named Francis while on the last voyage from Shanghai to Port Townsend. The hear- ing in this case will be held on Tuesday. The ship Benjamin E. Sewell has a bad reputation among sailors, being classed as one of the hottest vessels in the deep-water trade. She generally has much trouble in shipping a crew, and her officers are sin- gled out for special attack in the *‘red rec- ord.” Mate Smith regarded the matter very lightly when arrested yesterday, and when asked by Commissioner Swan last evening if he had read the complaint, he waved his hand and jokingly said he did not consider it worth reading. Captain Sewell listened to the reading of the com- plaint against him and said with a smile: “Well, now, that's pretty serious, isn’t it?” Both of them were more serious at mid- night, when Smith was bound over by the Commissioner. 4 Mishap That Interrupted Weyler’s In- spection Trip. MADRID, Spaiv, May 24.—A dispatch to the Imparcial from Havana says that the cruiser Ensenada, which left Havana Friday with Captain-General Weyler and his staff on board, their intention being to make a brief inspection of the troops and defenses on the northwest coast, stranded in the afternoon at Cabanas, a short dis- tance to the westward of Havana. Tugs were sent to her assistance. General Wey- ler and his staff were transferred to an- other vessel. The damage to the cruiser is not serious. Prime Minister Conovas del Castillo has announced that the United States had not formally protested against the decree of General Weyler forbidding the export of tobacco from Cuba, but had inquired as to Bpain’s intentions regarding existing con- tracts. Theee contracts, the Prime Min- ister adds, will be respected. Magnet Took First Frize at Ingleside, Firenzi Being the Run- ner Up. Fair crowds attended both of the cours- ing parks yesterday, the fine weather bringing out many veteran followers of the leash who failed to attend during the cold and rainy Sundays of the winter. At Ocean View Park a sapiing stake divided interest with the ola-dog stake, and on this particular event the betting was particularly heavy. Thirteen high- class pups were entered, each owner hop- ing to gain the silver cup that went with the first cash prize. The honor of having her name inscribed on the trophy went to M. O'Connor’s Lady Clifton, a smart and fast black bitch, by Lord Clifton-Rockette who displayed great speed and worked close enough to satisfy the most fastidious. Lord Clifton is the blueblooded Eastern dog imported by Martin Kerrigan about a year ago, and Rockette is a sister of West Side, whose performances have been very creditable. Lady Clifton is one of the first of Clif- ton’s progeny old enough to start, and her performance augurs well for the stock. The runner-up, Nellie Gray, is a remark- ably fast and true worker, but lacks devel- opment and therefore staying qualities, and will probably be heard from later on. The hares ran well, and with few excep- tions the decisions of Judge Canavan and the leash work of Slipper Cranston gave general satisfaction. Following is the run-down of the sap- ling stake: W. D. Murphy's Clifette beat E. Prender- Fns('s Babe »urphy, T. Mahoney’s Nellie Gray beat Villa kennel's Clifton II, E. Casserly’s Princess Dlana beat G. Foley’s Controller, W, M.

Welche’s White Boy, Direct a bye, First ties—Nellie Gray beat Clifette, Sarsfield beat Princess Diara, Lady Clifton beat Direct, Cocktail & bye, Nellie Gray beat Sarsfield, Lady Second ties- Clifton beat Cocktail. Final—Lady Ciifton beat Nellie Gray. Prizes—$15, $10, $4, $4. The all-aged stake resulted as follows: D. Toland’s wilight beat J. Murphy’s Red Light, J. Edmonds’ Vida Shaw beat C. Evans’ Dashaway, Villa kennel's Electric beat J. Sexsmith’s Mission Boy, J. T. Haunon's Marguerite beat T. Walton’s Bobolink, W. D, Murphy’s Fireman beat S. Lehman’s Nellte, C. D. Chillas’ Happy Day and M. Casserly's California Violet a bye. First ties—Twilight beat Vida Shaw, Electric beat Marguerite, Fireman beat California Vio- let, Happy Day a bye. Second ties- ectric beat Twilight, Fireman beat H-p‘?y Day. Final—Electric beat Fireman. Prizes, $27, 817, $7, $7. On Sunday nexta stake at $1 entrance, to which the management will add $20, will be run. The drawing will take place at Pythian Castle, 909 Market street, on Thurs- day evening. As the Interstate Club will hold a meeting at Ingleside on Saturday and Sunday, in which only members’ dogs will be permitted to enter, a large stake is looked for at Ocean View. It has not yet been decided whether or not cours- ing will be held on Saturday—Decoration day—but announcement will be given in Saturday’s CALL. The running at Ingleside yesterday re- sulted in a winning for Joe Trade’s speedy Magnet, who carried off the first prize with ease. Luurel Leaf was expected to run into the money, but was lost jast week and only recovered on Saturaay through an advertisement in THE CALL, so that she was not in good shape for running.
