This will grobably be won by either Glindemann, Strecker or Uischig. It will take a day or so to de- termine who is the victor. Among the special prize-winners were the following: First center on the honor- ary target, J. Meyer, Sacramento; first yesterday at Captain Schuemann’s shoot- 20" on the man target, C. Eging; last ing range near San Rafael. During the | bullseye in tne forenoon, Dr. L. C. Babin; George M. Barley, Ome of the Active Rifle Members of the Columbia Pistol and Club. early part of the day the attendance was fair, but the afternoon trains landed marksmen by the dozens, and until the targets were rung down at 6:30 o’clocka perfect sheet of bullets flew across the range. The light was treacherous and frequently it became necessary to move the elevation screws up and down several points. The wind was steady and strong from the west and kept the windgauges overto the left between two and three points 1l day. With these conditions some very good and some very bad scores were . made, but that is to be expected. Even with a good score 8 marksman sometimes misses a prize. Such was the case of D. W. McLaughlin yesterday and of J. E. Klein the Sunday previous. White shooting on the point target Klein ran up the best single score of the day, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 3,3, 2—19, and still missed a prize on best counters on that ticket. Yesterday McLaughlin came near being crowned the ‘‘shooting king,’’ but his name was his hoo-doo. No man with a “Mac” in his name was ever known to win kingly honors. Early in the morning he pulled hard for the title and the prize that goes with it and in ten shots made 225. Before the day was over ason of the Fatherland, Louis Bendel, snatched the crown from his brow, 80 to speak, with a score of 228. Among the visitors was John Meyer of Sacramento, who knows when to touch the hair trigger at the right time. He won a prize on the honorary target on a score of 24, 25, 21—70, which he might have beat if he had not been obliged to take the after- noon train for bis home. On the honorary targets, 25 German ring, there were spirited contests all along the range. 1n this event there were sev- enty-five merchandiss prises, valued at $1000, offered, consisting of fine plate and silverware, a fine target rifle, and jewelry and all manner of things thai gladden the good marksman’s heart. Among the first to work to the front and | get out of the sixties was D. B. Faktor, | who made 24, 22, 24—70. This caused A. | Strecker to bet W. Glindemann §$10 that he (Glindemann) would not beat 70. The lat- ter went further and beta like sum that | he would beat Strecker’s best, at that | time. Glindemann’s second ticket showed | up 71, and that lucky party tucked a $20 | piece into his vest pocket. A. H. Pape, | who was using smokeless powder, also | made 71 on 24. 24, 23. Some of the others who made good | scores on these targets were: J. Utsch\'g‘ 8r. 71, H. R. Brown_ 70, F. P. Schuster 68, D. W. McLaughlia 70, N. Abrens 63, D. B. | Faktor 70, C. Meyer 70, L. Bendel 68, N. | Remenperger 64, Ed Ladd 66, A. Jungbiut | 60, R. Stettin 67, A. L. Ott 65, Charles | Thierbach 68, J. Straub 59. ‘ No little interest was centered in the man targets. This target represents me‘ upper part of a man, and the line down | the middle of the figure is numbered 20. | The other lines on each side are half an | inch apart and run to 1. Lieutenant F. L. Pritchard shot on this target for the first time and surprised his | friends by making 19, 15, 15, 18—67. The | reul fight lay between Louis Haake and E. | Baumgartner, who made a dead tie on 18, | 20, 19, 20—77. There was no time to shoot | off the tie for the first prize. Among those who are sure of winnin: prizes beside | these two are: D. B. Fakior—20, 18, 18, | 18—74; J. Utschig—19, 18, 18, 20—-75; A. H. | Pape—20, 19, 17. 18—74; C. Thierbach—20, | 1819, 16—74; F. L. Pritchard—19, 15, 15, | 18—67; W. Ehren&mn——?fi. 19, 17,19—75; C. Meyer 73, D. . McLaughlin 72, H. | Schroeder 66, A. Rahwyler 64. The $5 fee for tickets on the king tarzet | (German 25 ring, ten shots), prevented many from competing for the honors. For a time Baumgartner, with 218 rings, thought he had a chance, but McLaugh- lin’s score put thatin the shade. How- ever, all who shot are sure of winning cash prizes. The principal scores were: L. Bendel—25, 25.24,24. 21,18, 24, 19, 24, 25—228; D. W W. McLaughlin—23, 24, 22, 24, 23, 25, 20,22, 22, 20—225; J. Utschig Sr.—22, 19, 18, 22, 25, 23, 23, 19, 22, 24—218 Anrens—21, 22,24, 24, 16, 25,19, 21, 17, 21 210; F. P. Schuster—22, 21, 17, 21, 17, 21, 22, 22,91, 21—205; W. Glindeman—22, 23, 17, 24, 18 Q2! 21, 23, 20, 16—205; J. Alpers—23, 21, first bullseye in the afternoon, Captain Fred Kuhnle; last bullseye in the after- noon, W. Glindemann; press prize, M. W. Newberry. * The club will hold its distri- bution of prizes in Eintracht Hall, on Twelfth street, on Thursday evening. e AT SHELL MOUND. Fine Rifle-Shooters and Military Marksmen Hold Forth. Fine rifle sharpshooters and military marksmen assembled at the Shell Mound rifle range yesterday in large numbers. In fact, the targets were kept hot all day. Considering the many attractions in this line around the bay, the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club’s attendance was fairly good. Not a little interest was centered on the short range, 50 yards, where the pistol and 22-caliber rifle shooting was going on. Mrs. L. J. Crane made a very pretty score on the Columbia target for | the Glindermann ladies’ troohy. It was5, 11,4,1,4,4,2, 2,5, 5—33. This shows an average of 34 points. Miss Ada M. Olofson also came to the front with a very pretty practice pistol score, which for the first effort with this firearm leads to the belief that she will not take long in becoming an expert. Her run was 4, 4,9, 7, 12, 10,6, 5, 15, 13—85. When the ladies’ auxiliary to this club is created there is no doubt but that many good shots will be developed with nfle and pistol. The scores on the 50-yard range were as follows: Pistol, Blanding medal, three shots, open to all comers—F. O. Young, 3. 3, 3—9; J. E. Gor- man, 6, 2, 2—10: Dr. L. O. Rot{gerl, 7,1, 4—-12. Glindermann ladies’ trophy, ten shots, 22- caliber rifie—Mrs, L. J. Crane, 33. All-comers’ medal, fiveshots, 22-caliber rifle, 50 yerds—E. A. Hovey, 9,12, 13; E. Jacobson, 11,'12; Mrs. L. J. Crane, 11, 16; W Brooks, 24, 26, On the 200-yard rifle range the annexed records were made in the following re- entry matches, Columbia target: Unfred diamond medal, three shots—Dr. L. 0. Rodgers 11, F. 0. Young 12, J. Utschig 17, Militery rifie, Glindermann meaal, ten shots, :;eedmore count—F. Poulter 46, F. O. Young Rifle record medal, ten shots—J. Utschig 50, F. 0. Young 50, A. B. Dorrell 84. Most flags for. centers—Dr. L. O. Rodgers 2, D. W. McLaughlin 1. The monthly medal shoot of the Nord- deutscher Schuetzen Club resulted in the following high scores: First_class, H. Huber, 413 rings; third, F. Rust, 392; fourth, Albert Meyer, 344; best first shot, Albert Meyer, 24; best last shot, H. Huber, 25, In the Germania Schuetzen Club's monthly bullseye shoot cash prize win- ners were as follows: First prize, H. Huber, 79 points; second, D.

Among the military marksmen consid- erable interest centered around the com- petition for the Foster trophy, the rival teams under this head being of Companies ¥, K, Mand I As tie result of a spirited contest victory was achieved by Company K. which scored 480 points, or an average of 40 for each of the twelve men who formed tue team.

It was between the Bohemian and Alameda clubs and avas played at Golden Gate. Captain Hood of the Alamedas took the toss and sent his opponentsin. Thanks chiefly to Moriarty, the ex-Alamedan, who passed the half-century notch, and to Captain Robertson, Price and McCrae the men of scarlet and white amassed the very respectable total of 138. This proved more than adequate for the Bohemians’ requirements, for the Alamedas could not come within half a hundred of it. The 91 compiled by the latter team was chiefly contributed to by Bird and Lamb, ‘‘extras”’ making a good third. Had Rob- ertson not taken himself off and allowed Bowhill to disport himself with his under- hand wides, the victory would have been considerably more decisive. Following are the full scores: BOHEMIANS. Dr. Bowhill c. Peel b. Sloman won . Revnolds c. Gardner b. Peel G. Pollock c. Bird b. Peel A. Price b. Ward Jr.. W. McCrae c. Peel b. Wa W. Reeves c.

FELICIA CORNWELL A Half-Sister to Mrs. Winthrop, Induces Her to Tell Her Husband’s Whereabouts, CODY ON A HOT TRAIL, The Letter and the Money Acted as a Decoy Which Led to the Capture of the Man in Oakland. 0. W. Winthrop is enjoying whatever luxuries the County Jail affords its in- mates. Be they good or bad, Winthrop is pleased with the change from the City Prison to that of the domicile at the Broadway hotel. When seen yester- aay afternoon in his cell, 36 on the second floor, he seemed and spoke in a cheerful mood. * On the question of his defense he pre- ferred to remain silent, for the reason that he does not wish Captain Lees, whom he considers no friend of his, to know the names or residence of those who will be called upon when the defense opens to prove that millionaire Campbell is mis- taken when hesays that he was constantly, or at all, with him at the California-street cottage. But on the manner of his arrest in Oak- ‘|land by Detective Cody he is not so silent. In explaining his version of how Cody picked him out as Winthrop on the streets of Oakland, he puts another color ofa very different hue on the picture, and if it be cor- rect, it did not require any of the wonder- ful sagacity which goes to make up a great detective who carries the image of the criminal in nis mind’s eye asleep and awake. The manner in which Winthrop was betrayed is best told in his own language, and, if he be correct, that arrest was due to his wife’s half sister, Mrs. Cornwell, one of the repudiated widows of *Old Pard,” the ploneer engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, who died a iew weeks ago. This relative of his wife’s was either the innocent cause of sending the detective on his trail, or she was led into the scheme through some influence at present un- known. But let Winthrop tell the storv. *‘On Saturday,” said he, “before I was arrested, my wife's half-sister, Mrs. Corn- well, called upon my wife, and with her came a messenger-boy. “‘After a few preliminaries the boy pro- duced $100 in gold twenties, and stated to my wife that that amount had been sent through him to me, but he would have to deliver it in person. He could not give it to a second party. ““My wife hesitated and doubted the boy, but finally parleyed on the persuasion of Mrs. Cornwell, knowing that I had some good, kind friends who would like to assist me on seeing my name in the papers as being charged with a serious crime, and also knowing that I needed money. “At last she weakened and consented to give the boy my address, writing it on an envelope and delivering it to him, fully believing that he would make the use of it that he said he woald. But instead of his doing so I now haveevery reason to believe it went into the hands of Captain Lees, who saw that it was mailed aad put De- tective Cody on the hot trail, where he lost no time until he made his wonderful ar- rest, at the instigation of that still more wonderful man, Lees. “Now this is the pure and simple story of how I was caught. “The $100, of course, I did not get; it was used to induce my wife to make known my whereabouts, which she fool- ishly did.” However, it makes little dif- ference, as 1 knew I would have to stand trial some time after Captain Lees had de- cided to couple me up with the crime. “My only cbject in disguising myself and remaining away from home was that I might gather the evidence of many per- sons in whose company I bad been on the days that they say I was with Campbell betyora I would give myself up. I full well knew 1f Lees cgu%l;l me he would keep me in jail, as he did before, and in that way prevent me from finding my witnesses. “One thing that attracted the attention of oneof my boys was while Mrs. Win- throp had gone into an adjoining room for the writing material the messenger- boy was left alone with one of my boys, who noticed that the messenger had con- cealed the front of his cap, which gives hisnumber. i “My boy asked him what his number was. This question seemed to somewhat annoy the messenger, and in an evasive sort of way he made some response, which was not clearly understood by his questioner. But the entry of Mrs. Win- throp prevented the further following up of the inquiry on this subject, so the matter was dropped, and the following note, sealed in an envelope and directed to AL BRONSON, P. 0. Oakland, Alameds Co., ‘Was handed the messenger boy, who took his departure.” The letter, as near as Winthrop can re- mermber, simply read: 1f you need any money send for it; but don’t write to F. or P. Secure letter. Dopy. “Having written to my wife during the week I naturally expected a letter, and con- sequently on Monday forenoon I went to the postoffice and asked if there was a let- ter for ‘Al Bronson.” The man at the de- livery window shuffled round a good deal and stepped away from the window, but returned in a short time, and after search- ing through some letters in the B com- partment handed me the letter. “I then thought there was something strange in his actions and as a result I slipped the letter into my pocket and hur- ried away from the place. Just as I was going to the doorway I saw some person come out of a side door, but did not wait sufficiently long to take a good look at him. However, I knew I was trapped and I hurnied off as speedily as I thought prudent. “When about balf a block away from the vostoffice I heard a footstep behind me and pruentlg a low-sized man passed me, almost rubbing up against me and when he bad gone a few steps in advance of me he turned round suddenly and said: ‘What is your name?’ I said ‘Why do ask? ‘I'd like to kuow,’ he said. ‘My name is Al Bronson,’ I rephed. *The remainder of the conversation was just as he tells it, and after a few more questions he rudely pulled the glasses from my face and said: ‘Your name is Winthrop and I am a San Fran- cisco detective and I arrest you' Now this is the manner in which this wonder- ful arrest was made by one of Captain Lees' sharp detectives. “Way, a Chinaman lately imported from Hongkong could have arrested me in Oakland with the tip that had been ven. “I am anxious to find Wa'lace Fitz- ‘A Great Game Played to Decide the patrick and have him make his where- abouts known to my attorney, Frank V. Bell, at 420 California street.” THE HANDBALL COURTS. Championship of the M lon. The handball courts were crowded yes- terday and several attractive games were witnessed. At the San Francisco court four of the leading players on the coast met for the first time in- many weeks, John Riordan, the coast cham- pion and J. C. Nealon playing against P.T. Donnelly, the amateur champion, and T. F. Bonnet. Bonnet’s reappearznce in the alley so gratified the spectators that they gave him a round of applause. Four rattling games were played, each side winning two, and owing to the darkness the final was Youponed till next Sunday. The event of the day at the Union court was a match in which J. J. Feeney and Terry McManus, the heavy-weight cham- pion, played against R. Lenihan, the over- hand swiper, and James Nelson.. The dif- ferent games were marked by great rallies, whicn aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and rare judement on both sides. Feeney and McManus won the final, after an ex- citing struggle, by four aces. At the Eureka court, on Eighteenth street, a match was played to decide the Mission championship, between Thomas McLaughlinand J. J. Whiteand Henry Me- Grath and Charles Daley. McGrath and Daley won the final by one ace, after an exciting game, and challenge any team for the amateur championship of the coast.

Made Nine Runs and Nine Safe Hits With a T.tal of Fourteen Baises in Oae Inning. The San Franciscos and the Imperials engaged 1 a ball game au the Folsom- street grounds yesterdav and got dlong very well together for four innings. After that the San Franciscos continued the ex- hibition alone—the Imperials were not in it. The occasion of the Imperials dropping out of the running was the terrible fall their opponents took out of Pitcher Kelly in the fifth inning. The San Franciscos reached after his curves with the avidity evinced by a “*cullud gemman” ata water- melon feast. That they found them juicy is evidenced by the result. Thirteen men | went to the bat, nine of whom hit safely, five of the nine bits being two-baggers. Nine runs were scored and when the last out had been effected the Imperials collec- tively and Pitcher Kelly particularly were possessed of that tired feeling to a marked degree. Tha twirler was so tired that he was turned out in right garden to recupe- rate and Joe McCarthy substituted in the box. 4 The run getting is unworthy of descrip- tion, the San Franciscos scoring more tal- lies in the disastrous fifth inning than the Imperials laboriously accamulated during ihe game. Outside the general all-round good work | of the victorious team, the bright particu- lar star of the game was John McCarthy, the tiew addition to the Imperials. Itisa relief to watch the play of the ex-North- west Leaguer, and the acquisition of more men like him is to be hoped for. Following is the official score: BAN FRANCISCOS. A.B. R. 1B. 8B P.O. A E.

A VICTIM OF A DOCTOR Mrs. John T. Farrell Said to Be Dying From Mal- practice. The Coroner, Police and Receiving Hcespital Physicians Called Into the Case. Shortly after midnight word was re- ceived by Coroner Hawkins that a woman living at 20 Henry street was dying from the effects of a criminal operation com- mitted three weeks ago. The message was sent by Dr. Farnum, who had been calied into the case. The victim is Mrs. Farrell, the wife of Jonhn T. Farrell, a carpet layer. According to the story she told she vis- ited Dr. McBeth of Sutter street and Grant avenue, and last Monday she became very ill. Her condition became worse, until Dr. Farnum was called in. He wanted to consult with the Coroner, but the latter decided that it was not wise for him to have anything to do with a case that might come before him for of- ficial investigation. Dr. Fitzgibbon of the Receiving Hospi- | tal responded to the call, however. By the time he arrived the police hai been notified that there was the element of criminality in the case, and Lieutenant Burke and Sergeant Monahan repaired to the house to investigate. The woman’s chances of recovery are sain to be very doubtful, STABBED IN :1HE NECK A Highbinder Assaults a Man in a Crowd and Escapes.
