6 THE SAN FRANCISCO \C‘ALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 1896. CLOSING DAY OF PETALUMAS FAIR A Week of Excellent Sport and General Enjoy- ment. ITS MANAGERS PRAISED Nevere, a 20 to I Shot, Creates a Sensation by Making a Runaway Win. W, W00D BEATS CYCLIST OSEN. Summaries of Results in the Varions Events That Concluded the Fun at the Track. PETALUMA, Carn., Aug.8—The clos- ing dsy of the fair was a great success. The weather was warm, and the town girl was out in her prettiest summer gown, making the grounds a sea of pretty faces and gay colors. After disposing of his wagon-load of | produce, the farmer journeyed to the; track, where the attendance was all that could be desired. The different sure- thing games raked in all the doliars that | came their way, and the gambling frater- nity undonbtedly enjoyed the most profitable day of the week. The sport was excellent and regret was expressed among the late comers that an- other day of equine contests was not forth- coming. The management throughout has been splendid, and the Sonoma and Marin Agricultural Association is to be complimented on the ability it has dis- played. The track to-day was in fine shape, but the winning horses in the different events | decided shattered no records. The one | big surprise was the win of Nevere, a 20 to | 1 shot, in the mile-and-a-furlong handi- | cap. Ridden by a mite of alad named | Jimmie Woods the horse dropped in with | 70 pounds and made a runaway run of it, | winning by acity block in the fast time | of 1:54. The y (who sold in the field) in straight heats, | and Visalia disposed of Toggles and Native State very handily in the free-for- i all trot. 3 Bicychist Oscar Osen and W. Wood, the crack pacer, were expected to givea fast | exhibition of speed in their special race, but it proved & big disappointment. ’ The horse was backed down to favorit- ism before the first heat, and took it jog- ging in 2:26, owing to an accident to| Osen’s wh In the second heat Osen | blew up, after closely trailing \\'ood’si running mate to the half, and Chaboya | sent his horse past thewire 1n 2:1L The gallopers were called fi Eight | started in the handicap, with Fred Gard- ner a pronounced 7 to 10 choice, Two Cheer and Warrago both at threes, Sea Spray at 5 and Broad Billow at 6. All came in for support. Backed from 20 down to 4 Nevere made all oi the running and won by eight lengths, _ e Warrago finished abead of Broad Billow for the place. The favorite was interfered with at the first turn. 2T Lizette Rose went for a mark, putting in two heats in 2:32, 2:3214. The talent went slightly astray in the opening pooling on the 2:17 pace. Our Boy at first had the call, bringing $10, the field $8 and Sam H §7. Promise Me, the favorite in the book for the first heat, broke, and Frank L, who came \out for the first time with a silver tube iu- | serted in his neck, driven by Ben Cha- boya, took the and glso the heat very dexterously in 34, with Sam H second. The betting now shifted, Frank L fetch- ing $10, Sam H $8 and the field $4. The next heat was a repetition of the first, Frank taking the heat as he liked in 2:15%. Selling now for-$20 against $8 for the ‘whole field Frank, who trailed the field until three furlongs from the wire, passed each of the four other startersin succession and placed the heat and race to his credit in 2:143. } Promise Me, who, like the winner, is also a whistle-necked horse, was second in this heat. But three of the free-for-allers responded to the bell-tap for a $200 purse. Toggles at first had tge callin tne betting, which, after one or two pools, changed in favor of Visalia, who brought $15, Toggles $10 and Native State $3. | Perkins had the handsome Visalia in grand condition, and, although Toggles made him step along in the first two heats, the favorite took the coin in straight heats. Best time, 2:15%. A speciel train will be run to Willows in the morning, and the majority of the trotters and runners are being got in readi- ness to-night for shipment, Summaries: | Running, handicap, one and an eighth miles, purse $350—Mrs. Ruggles’ Nevere, 70, | by Cyrus-Nerva (Woods), won; Garden City | siable’s b. m.

MEDFORD, Mass., Aug. 8.—At Combin- (2:0424) | and Joe Patchen (2:04), two of the fastest performers on the turf, came together in a special contest. There were 7000 people : present. Besides the star card there were two other special races which proved to be two of the cleverest exhibitions seen in Joe Patchea and Star when Star Pointer made a bad break. When he recovered himself McOalry founa himself ten lengths behind Curry, who was driving a great winnin§ race. The quarter was passed at 2:09 slip, the After passing the half Curry let up'and allowe;Mchlr y to draw up so as to be within the flag. The time of the first heat was 2:133/. In the second heat Patchen took the lead at the word and held it througbout, covering the half in 1:041¢ and the mile in | 2:083{. The flag feil slightly in advance of Star Pointer. Patchen and Curry were the recipients of tremendous applause. | Later Joe Patchen gave an exhibition mileé paced by the running horse Joe Cot- | ton, and made the wonderful time fora half-mile track of 2:05}. The quarter was done in :31}7 and the half in 1:02. The special trotting race for a $100 purse was won in three straight heats by Cephas, who in the last heat equaled his record of 2:11)¢, and also won the world’s record over a half-mile track. COLUMBUS, On1o, Aug. 8.—The plunge of Sphinxette, by which she won the race, was the feature of the 2:12 pace which was | the last event of the grand circuit races, postponed from yesterday to to-day.

H DENE S STOCKTONS LIS L. U. Shippee Passes Away After a Lingering Illness. WORRY SPEEDS THE END All but 2 Small Portion of His immense Fortune Lost in Late Years. HIS WORK FOR THE CITY. Was the Founder of Many - Enter- prises and a Laborer for the Public Weal. STOCKTON, CiL., Aug.8.—L. U. Ship- pee, one of Stockton’s most prominent citizens, died in his rooms in the McKee building in this city at 3 o’clock this after- noon, after a lingering illness. Some weeks ago he suffered an attack of in- flammatory rheumatism. The disease and the worry consequent to the heavy finan- cial losses he has sustained during the past few years brought on nervous prostra- tion, which hastened his death. For many years Shippee was one of the wealthiest men in the San Joaquin Valley, as well as one of the most influential. He was born about ten miles from Providence, R. 1., in a place which is to this day known as Shippee's Hollow. He started outearly in life to shift for himseif, and when only 12 years of age he hired out to a tarmer to do chores at §5 a month. For seven months, the term of his engagement, he worked about the farm, and returned home the proud possessor of $35. That was his start in life, and with it he massed a great fortane. While still very young he learned the machinist’s trade, and was employed at it for several years. This was al{yays distasteful to him, and so he farmed one of the places belonging to his father, and in this way saved up enough money to come to California. Early in 1856 he went to New York and took passage on the old steamer Illinois for Panama, From the isthmus he made the voyage to San Franciscoin the steamer Sonora, and arrived there in March. He at once started for the mines in Tuolumne County, but he found the diggings pretty well/taken up and developed and resolved to return to San Krancisco. On his way back he was indaced by an acquaintance to stop for a time in this city, and was so well pleased with its prospects that he re- solved to stay here. At the time he was possessed of about $1500, and with that sum he engaged in business in Stockton. His first venture was a failure, and he then secured employment as a clerk with Schofield & Houche, which firm was sub- sequently succeeded by Owen & McKee. Shippee's keer. business mind soon made itself felt, and it was not long before the business was under the name of Shippee & McKee. d For eleven years he was at the head of this firm, and before he severed his con- nection with it it was doing a business of $275,000 ayear. It dealt in livestock and lnnds, dealing largely in sheep, havingas many as 52,000 in’ 1877 in Tulare, Merced and Fresno counties. Shippee’s landed interest grew to great proportions, and he was one of the largest landholders in the valley up to a short time ago. None of the great importers or breeders have ever dome more to improve the standard of livesteck in this State than did Shippee. For years he was one of the foremost breeders of fine horses in Cal- ifornia. and as a director of the State Agricultural Society and of ' the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Association did much to aid racing in this State. Shippee was one of the founders of the Stockton Savings and Loan Society, one of the strongest financial institutions in the interior. He was also founder of the Stockton_Combined Harvester and Agri- cultural Works, which are still known as the Shippee works. He was likewise a prime mover in the starting of the big Stanislaus canal scheme. 1n 1887 Bhippee was elected Mayor of Stockton, and held the office for one term. He bad previously been a member of the City Council. Dur- ing the two years Be was at the head of the city governmeént more permanent street improvements were made than dur- ing the entire previous history of the city. For twenty years Shippee was a director of the State Agricultural Society, and for two years was its president. For an even longer period he was a hard-working mem- ber and the president of the San Joaquin County Agricultural Association. The big pavilion or San Joaquin street, in this city, was built largely throngh his efforts. During the past few years Shippee has slowly but surely lost his fortune. His large horseracing enterprises drained his purse, and piece by piece his many farms were mortgaged to keep his schemes fiuinz. Land values fell, and one by one is fine ranches went to the bank he had helped to found. Ten yearsago he was reputea to be worth more thau $1,000, but to-day it is doubtful if his estate will bring more than a few thousand dollars. At the time of bis death he, still held a number of valuable ranches, but they are all mortgaged for what they are worth. e e EXEMP18\ WILL PARADE, Veteran Firemen to Participate in Ad- wnission Day Festivities. STOCKTON, CaL., Aug. 8.—The Exempt Fire Company of Stockton met last night to perfect arrangements for taking part in the Admission day celebration. This or- ganization is & very strong one here, and includes among its members many old- time and influential citizens. It was de- ci ded to secure at once a set of uniforms. They are to consist of red shirts, with white buttons and the letter *‘E" across the bosom of the shirt, black trousers and regulation firemen’s hats. Arrangements were also made to secure an old-time hand engine to haul in the parade. lnvitations were extended to the Ex- amlrt Firemén of San Francisco, Oakland and Alameda to come here on the 9th of Beptember and participate in the parade. There will probably be severat hundred firemen in line. Great preparations will be made by the local men to entertain the visiting firem SEAITLE REPUBLICAN RALLYX.

PHIMARY FIGHT AT SICRAMENTO “Boss” Daroux Retains His Hold in the Second Ward. HOUSE WRAPPERS, RIOTS AT THE POLLS. Crowds Charge the Police and a Chinese Bomb Starts a Panic. BATONS SWUNG WITH VIGOR. ' N The Result May Decide Republican County Nominations—A Shoot- ing Affray. SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 8.—Frank Daroux, “boss” of the Second Ward, with all the political powers ‘‘that be,” from one end of the city limits to the other banded against him, without one solitary representative on the election board to preserve his interests, came out of the Re- publican primary with a margin of seven votes to the good, and everybody unitesin declaring that he putup one of the best fights ever seen in this city. Frank Daroux is nominally a victor, but whether he will succeed in seating his delegation in the county convention is a question. After the votes were counted 1t was found that there were forty-two ballots in the box of which the clerks possessed no tally, and in consequence there will be a protest filed, and it is more than probable that should the matter be re- ferred to the County Committee to decide Daroux will be turned down. Even should he carry the question before the conven- tion he will probably meet even more de- cided opposifion, as that body will be dominated by his opponents, even should 1t be deemed advisable in the interests of harmony to seat the victors of to-day’s hard fight.

Prs o SHE Mewxe MARKET AND gathered there ia force. Shortly after- ward the Cavannaugh faction received a tip that the wily boss of the Second intended to oust the election board appointed by the county commit- tee, and replace it with men of his own selection. Acting on this they guarded the entrance to the building en masse. The opposition made an attempt to dis- lodge them; and war begart. The railing to the stairway was torn down, the windows were smashed, and the iron bars guarding them were torn from their fastenings. There was every indication of a first-class riot under way ‘when a squad of police, under the leader- ship of Captain of Police Ash, arrived, and after not a little breaking of heads re- stored a semblance of order. ‘When the window of the polling place was thrown open, Daroux stepped to the front and demanded that he be allowed at least one representative in the interior of the room. This was refused and another squabble ensued. At last it was agreed that a police officer would be allowed to enter. Officer Talbot was seiected and after a stout opposition rally on both sides was hoisted in through the window. Then the voting commenced, with the usual amount of hustling and occasional fistic encounters, which were promptly checked by the police. > Shortly sfter 4 o’clock a Chinese bomb was exploded in the middle of the mass of numanity crowded around the polls, and ascene of the wildest excitement ensued. The mulfl ofhl‘nteor;!tlod lioct:en-:n wokt to instant flij dodging into convenien: doorways l.ngd ’mking shelter behind ‘wagons or any object which would protect them from the shower of lead which they expected would follow. 7 l‘.’:.the height of the panic, a flying wedge of Daroux adhérents was sent against the -platoon of police, with the supposed object of sweeping them aside and forcing a pathway for two of the Daroux faction into the polling-place. 1f this was the object it failed, as the officers drew their clubs and rained a shower of blows on the head of the tpush.’” Men fell like bullocks and the rush was stopped. Then individual fights were started on the outskirts of the crowd in the hope of drawing & Lomon of the police force from the immediate vicinity of the polls. This also failed, as the little squad of h police had discovered that it had its work cut out for it at the volls. As the hour of closing drew near George Rider, committeeman from the First Ward, made his ap; ance -and _de- manded, on behalf of his confrere (Dar- oux), representation at the count. Then_another riot ensued. Rider was dragged from the platform, but shortly demonstrated to the ‘‘push’’ that be was something of a miper himself, But they lufic pouring at him from all sides, until Officers Nagle and Fisher went to his | assistance and by free use of their clubs succeeded in rescuing him from his opponents., 3 ‘He immediately returned to the polls and reiterated demands, which were at last acceded to, and James Gegen of San Francisco, who for the nonce has sferred his residence to the Second » was sent in through the day's battle was himself, will still hold the upper hand, controlling every ward in the city except the Second. If Daroux put up & great fight, Cavannaugh put up a greater one, the former being on his own stamping grounds and the latter walkingin an al- most entire stranger to the shades and shadows of the Becond Ward, and suffer- ing defeat by but seven votes. But he had the “push” of the city with him. They had expected a walkover, #nd are correspondingly sore and are shouting ‘murder. The polls opened at 2 o’clock . sharp. Long before that hgur both factions part in the selecting of candidates for sev- eral of the local offices. For instance, shouid they win J. B. Devine and A. P.

If Daroux wins he will give George McMullen, who is a candidate for County Coroner, the battle of his life in the convention, should it be decided to name county officers, looking to a possible reversal of the county govern- ment act by the Bupreme Court, or of that section relating to the four years’ term of office. Should there be any naming of county officials, the present occupants will probably receive renominations for their respective offices. The affair of the Chinese bomb has been presented in another light, it being claimed that shortly befope the explosion a note was hand to the election board, reading as follows: “The bomb will explode at 4:15 sharp. Wateh.” It is claimed by some of the Darouxmen that this might account for the forty un- tallied votes. ——f—— BULLETS FLY IN A SALOON. Frank Ddroun Saves a Life After Start- ing & Fracas. SACRAMENTO, Caw, Aug. 8.—At an early hour this morning there was a lively row in Ed Smith’s saloon on Fourth street, during which several shots were fired and William Fouse had a narrow es- cape from death. The row originated in election troubles, and was'in a measure precipitated by Frank Daroux, ‘boss” of the Second ‘Ward, who, on entering the saloon in company with & man known in ‘police circles by the cognomen of the ‘“Missouri Kid,” made some derogatory remarks apout John Ashe Sheehan, one of the ;;htors and proprietors of the Sunday ews. These remarks aroused the indignation of Geo: McMillen, a reporter for the News, who resented them by promptly mixing with Daroux. The ‘‘Missouri Kid,” o;t ‘;gld”;h]o‘?nfil:n dashed to the rescue s nd, but_was stopped b; W}llln:m Al:aord and Be:;l Shields. bl 'ohnson is a gun-fighter, and ned notoriety by filling Joe Welsh full oi‘dleld afew months agoin a saloon row in this city. To-day he was equally quick with is revolver. He sprang back, drew his weapon and fired three shots into the crowd, none of which took effect, however. He then turned and placed the muzzle of his re- volver against the stomach of Fouse, one of the combatants, but before he could Knll the trigger Daroux knocked up his and and the ball passed through Fouse’s hat, plowing a furrow mronghufiis hair.

SAN JOSE, Can, Aug. 8.—Mrs. Clara Hatch of Colville, Wash.,, who came to this city a few days ago in search of a long-lost mother, Mrs. Ann Byers, was last evening reunited with her brother, Frank Byers, whom she has not seen for thirty years.
