4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1896. LONG SHOTS WiN AT SACRAMENTO Auspicious Beginning of the State Fair Running Races. FAVORITES ARE DUMPED Immense Crowds Gather to Gaze on the Aristocratic Equines. VINCTOR AGAIN VICTORIOUS. He Beat the Pick of the Lot of East. ern Horses Now Within the State Line. SACRAMENTO, Cavn, Sept. 3.—The runners attested their popularity by draw- ing the largest crowd of the week to Agricultural Park. For the first time during the meet the betting ring was crowded, and the way the coin poured into the bookmakers’ strong-boxes was a reminder of old times. The weather was hot enough to fry icicles a dark brown, and the crowd sizzled and cooked and kicked at the manner in which the first three favorites were bowled over. Touts, or more technically speaking, legal turf lights, from all points in the Union, ar- rayed in the iatest fashions, were present and imparted their knowledge for the usual fee. ‘The racing was far above the average. Howard, Amelia 8, Arnette, Vinctor and Chartreuse II were the purse-winners. The principal event on the card was at one and a sixteenth miles, in which Vinc- tor, Lobengula, Libertine and Sabilla met. When the dust cleared away the number post showed that Vinctor had again downed the Eastern cracks. Vinctor opened at 7 to 10 in the books, closing at even, the bulk of the coin goingin on Green Morris’ Lobengula, who was backed down from 8 to 2. Libertine receded from 9to 5 to fours. When Havey sent the quartet away Macklin hustled Libertine to the front, and going at & great clip led Vinctor into tne stretch by a head. Joe Narvaez touched the favorite up with the whip, and a furlong from home he had command of things and won cleverly by a length and a halfin 1:48. In a desperate drive McGlone landed Lobengula in the place, a neck before Libertine, A. B. Spreckels’ handsome mare Olive, the even - money favorite for the mile handicap, was defeated by Arnette in the most exciting finish of the day. There were but four starters in this race also, and a barrel of money went in on the Spreckels entry. Nic-Nac, carrying 85 pounds of Tommy Butler, tried to makea runaway race of it, but had enough a fur- long from the stand. Ina bair-raising drive to the wire Hazlett, on Arnette, got the decision by a short nose in 1:42. Bueno opened the hoitest kind of a favorite for the initial six-furlong dash, but very soon plenty of 3 to1 was obtain- able, He got about as close to the money as Andree did to the north pole with his balioon. Silver State, a 20 to 1 shdt, led unti! well into stretch, where Howard, ridden by Mike Hennessy, and Sea Spray, with Martin up, headed her, and the last- named pair fougnt it out. Howard won in a mild drive by three parts of a length in 1:143%. Ten very ordinary two-yeer-olds started in a selling sweepstake, witl a fixed valua- tion of $1500. Tbe hot tip on the race was PF, backed from 20 down to5tol. He finisbed second. Amelia 8, a6 to 1 chance, showed in front before the stretch was reached and in a drive beat the good thing out a half length. The 14to5 favorite, Inflammator, ran well until straightened away for the wire, when he stopped badly. There were but five starters in the last event, a seven and a Lalf furlong run. Chartreuse II was a 1 to 2 choice and won as she liked in 1:36, with Marcel just as easy a second. SUMMARIES. Purse $400: selling; four-year-olds and upward, Six_furongs. R. E. Dolan’s ch. g.

Y., Sept. 3.—The 5000 persons who attended the grand circuit meeting at Fleetwood Park to-day saw C, J. Hamlin’s six-year-old bay mare Fan- tasy defeat all of the crack trotters of the free-for-all class now in training. .The weather conditions were wuch more favor- able for fast time to-aay, although tne track remained mealy, and not at its best. Kentucky Union was beavily backed at 5 to 4, but the others were long odds, with few backers in the betting.

Referee Wilson Awards @ Contest to Ryan Because of Smith’s Unfaérnes ASTORIA, Ork., Sept. 3.—The largest crowd that ever assembled in this city to witness a boxing contest was present to- night at the eight-round bout between “Mysteriovs'’ Billy Smith of Boston and Jim Ryan of Australia. The match was at catch weights, the winner to take the entire purse of §500. This amount was guaranteed by a number of sport-loving Astorians, who put up the money as a speculation and were reim- bursed out of the admission fees. Smith weighed 143 pounds and Ryan 154. The former was evidently the more rugged and in_ better condition, Ryan’s recent sickness having pulled him down considerably. Ryan was seconded l?’y Jim Keating, Professor Spencer and Jack Hill, while Tim McGrath and “Shadow’” Hoyt acted in like capacity for Smith. Jack Wilson, formerly of the Fifth Artillery, officiated as reteree, and Pete Grant, G. Trullinger and Jack Feine as timekeepers. Time was called at 10:05, and not a moment was lost in sparring. Smith was generally on theaggressive, although Ryan occaari.omlly varied the proeeedings with arush. There were many fouls committed by Smith, and he was again and again cau- tioned. In the third round, after Smith had been frequently warned by the ref- eree, the spectators arose almosi in a body with cries of ‘““Foul,” and the police were ordered to stop the fight unless fouling would be discontinued. Smita then agreed to break away when ordered, with- out striking, and the fight centinued. The fourth, fifth and sixth rounds were characterized by clean infighting, but 1n the seventh the referee again cautioned Smith. He persisted in fouling, however, and the fight was given to Ryan. Smith at once struck the referee, who immediately retaliated with a straight left on Smith’s mouth and followed him into his corner with & view to swinging his right. The police again stepped into the ring ana stopped further disturbance. The sym- pathies of the crowd were generally with Ryan on account of his fairness. L S Track and Paddock Notes. A. B. Spreckels, president of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club, ana Naglee Burke of San Jose were a couple of the prominent turfmen seen in the betting ring. Mr. Spreckels backed his mare Olive to win and Owner Burke thought enough of Thelma not to let her run loose. Libertine ran, for the first time on a California track, with his front legs wound in bandages. If the distance had been six furiongs the big fellow would just about have Janded the money. Millionaire Charles L. Fair went from stand to stand backing his horse Una Colo- rado. He ran disappointingly. Mr, Winship, of the firm of Winehip & Keating, was one of the earliest to get aboard P F at the top price, 20 to 1. The ricn Nursery stake will be run on Saturday. All the crack two-year-olds are entered. ‘When Joe Narvaez returned to the stand after winning with Vinctor he was ten- dered an ovation. If Joe will be more careful about the convivial spirits he travels with in the future and steers clear of the boodle bookie and his glittering swag he is once more launched on the wave that leads to prosperity. The win- ner, Vinctor, was kicked on the nigh hind leg by Sabilla as he was being led into the circle in iront of the judges’ stand, which may prevent. him being started in the Vinctor stake on Tiursday next. Sabilla once carried the colors of Pitts- burg Phil. He won the California stake at Baratoga in 1894, After going a quarter Bueno was eased up by Miller. When a horse of Bueno’s caliber is entered with an ordinary iot of platers he should be scratched if not fit, and the public not be beguiled mto taking shots at the moon. The horse opened a hot favorite and receded to threes. On the reputable tracks of the East the racing rufn require owners and trainers to work their horses during the morning hours, 1t was a great day for Rancho del Paso bred horses. The first three winners were by sires or from dams owned at the noted breeding establishment. Indeed, the first three horses past the wire in the third event all claim Rancho del Paso as their home. In the East the farm'’s reputation was upheld by three of its products taking races at Sheepshead Bay. Joe Nolan of Fan Francisco, who, with Joe McUarthy, owns P F, came up to back him. The son of Longfield, who cost but $140, would have netted the young shoe merchant over $2000 nad he reached the wire first.

Cosmopolitan Sights Witnessed on the Capital City Promenade. EXHIBITS IN THE PAVILION. What Is B:ing Done in the Various Departments of the Great Exposition. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 3. — The gentle zephyr which is sung in verse as cooling the fevered brows of a perspiring people is away behind schedule time in Sacramen‘o. It is due to arrive early each morning, but seldom gets around before evening, when, after the warmth of the midday sun, it is thrice welcome. About the coolest sight, either in the pavilion or the grand stand at the races, is the sum- mer girl in ber airy, white gown and bal- loon sleeves. She is much in evidence, and looks as cool, pink and delicious as the icecream soda she sips. On this, the third day of the big State fair, the people from the trails and hiils are beginning to arrive. To-night a pro- cession of Indians filed into town and mingled with the crowd on K street, which street is the grand promenade when ves- | fo; pers have been rung by the bells in the big steeples and the electric lights begin to glare. There are thousands of strangers in the Capitol gates, and all enjoy the freedom qf the city. It is not necessary to read the newspapers to find out that there is a pumpkin and horse show in the vicinity; the people and their dress tell the tale. Sacramento is one of the few cities which runs to cosmonolitanism in ex- tremes. The promenade presented to- night the unique spectacle of Mr. Chinese abroad in his family barouche. Mrs. Chi- nese occupied the rear seat with several little female Chinese, while Mr. Chinese smiled on his son and heir by his side on the front seat, as reverently as he pays homage to his household gods. Through the streams of people is heard the strident intonatlons of the street fakir, his voice sounding like a sea captain in distress. Medicine shows, dime museums and wheels-of-fortune are here advertising themselves with bass drums and banjos on the front stoops. You can. also find any kind of a game you want. The three- card orator is not yet in evidence, but he is surely here, as other birds of the same flock are flitting around. The Police De- partment and the Police Court Judge are Matthew Canavan, -chublic-an Candidate for Assemblyman From Marin County. making it much warmer for people of his ilk than the weather is. To-day a well- dressed man with a shifty eye was “sent up” for 100 days for vagrancy. He will get out in time for the next fair. This is only one of many cases where comparatively well dressed people who don’t look right have suddenly felt a heavy hand on their shounlders and been ” The suttorities thus show ip for the tenderfootat the fair rmination that he shall be pro- tected. It is therefore safe for anybody and everybody to come to the fair, whether he has ever been outside of his back yard before or not, If he attempts to buy a gold brick for $9 the police will not let him do it. The coolest place in the city in the even- ing is the pavilion. There the summer gh?l‘nnd the ‘‘sweet little country maid” promenade the broad aisles, adding addi- tional charm to the scenes. The largest attendance since the opening of the fair was at the pavilicn tnis evening. Itmight be remarked as of great interest to the public at this time that the price of ice- cream in the pavilion is uniform, whereas in the grand stand at the race- track the waiters are prone to charge all the traffic will bear, varying the price of light drinks in accordance with a sort of clgnirvoynt vista of the plnm%nou of the patron’s purse and whatthey think he will stand. The price of lemonade rose and fell there yesterday with the changefulness of the odds in" the betting ring. The festive squash, the juicy pumpkin, the Pncnrln; quince and other fruits are beginning to take up positions in the department of horticulture and viticulture with attrac- tive mellowness of demeanor., There are different angles to the stems of the squashes, their relation to the lofty and perpendicular being determined by the size, age, pride and dignity of the indi. vidual ble. The table on which they are arrayed is as white as the main deck of the Gregon. The longest squash apparently feels his oats. He stands in the center, as straight as a hop pole, with squashes of iesser mag- nitude doing him homage in surrounding A.ll.'lfltdl of fruit that is “warmed by the sun and wet by the dew” on Califor- nia soil is collected in little clusters on white tables a block long. Fruit trees richly laden are also among the exhibits, there being fine specimens of olives as they grow. The cereal exhibit of Sacramento County is 1n this department. It makesa handsome and creditable appearance. One section of this department is given up to cooking dried fruit. rs, La. France and Mrs. Holland are in charge of this work., A prize of $100 is offered by the fair directors for the best recipe for cook- ing dried fruits, and these ladies are mak- ing the tests on a gasoline stove. People are invited to taste the cooked fruit. If there is anybody in California who hasa large appetite for warm water and dried apples, apricots, pears or peaches, he can satisfy it here tili disaster overtakes his waistband and it won’t cost him a cent. The latest exhibit to arrive is a road roller that looks like a gxna_rn-nh 1tis too large to get into the building and will bave to roost outside. Thedirectors have | a few roads in the park around the pavil- ion that need: to feel the touch of just such a monster as this, and they will make a practical test of it. While the squash and the pumpkins, the stovepipes and the bicycles are lying around in indolent ex- position the road roller will have to work for 1ts blue ribbon. i The art gallery grows in magnetic power and attractiveness. There are pictures on the wall that one can gaze at for an bour and consider the time well spent. The Yosemite scenes, by Hill, are much ad- mired. Poses in ‘“the altogether” are by no means lacking. Sacramento young mren say the flesh tints are alone worth ;he price of admission, and they ought to now, The rock dritl by miners, for which sev- eral prizes are offered, will take vlace early next week. The ‘‘cock’s sarill clarion’” is not yet beard in the pavilion, There are 1200 empty coops waiting for chanticleers and hens who yet roam in freedom in their home barnyards. They will roost in the chicken department next week. A very handsome and emund hard- ware exhibit is that of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson. It house built of sheet and corrugated iron and tin, papered on the inside. It has two apartments, showing a bathroom and a kitchen. Baker & Hamilton have an extensive exhibit of dairy machinery and appli- ances and farm implements of all kinds. This is perhaps the largest single exhibit in the pavyilion, The Benicia Agricultural Works also has a large and interesting exhibit. Most of the visitors at the pavilion to- day and to-night were strangers. BSacra- mento people are staying away until next week and the week after. Clark Brothers and Stanley have a large rce of men at work making cigars. Bmoking 1s prohibited in the pavilion and the aiiht of long leaves of Havana deftly rolled into smokers is & hardship on the man whose mouth is watering for a puff. Manufacturer A. T. Ames has a_patent pump on exhibition and in operation that always has a crowd around it. , To-day the programme at the racin, park was varied by a litule conflict of authority between the fair directors and the city authorities, whose chief executive Mayor Hubbard is. The directors ordered the main entrance to.the park to be in- closed with ropes, so as to protect women and children and that class of men who go to -leeP on their feet from being run over by reckless hackdrivers racing for & fare. There has been much danger and some accidents at the entrance in previous years. The jehus raised such a howl that the Mayor ordered the ropes taken down, and they were taken down, as obstructing a public thoroughfare. The directors de- murred, but that was all, MARIN COUNI EPUBLICANS. Matthew Canavan Nominated for the Assembdly, SAN RAFAEL, Car., Sept.3.—All day Republicanism has been rampant in the town of San Rafuel. Early in the morn- ing the delegates from the different pre- cincts of Marin County began tQ gather for the Republican County Convention, | which was called to order at 1 r. . by B. H. Studley, in the absence of R. H. Whittemore, chairman of the County Central Committeee. George Mason was chosen as temporary chairman and B. H. Studley as temporary secretary, in which positions they were subsequently confirmed. After receiving the committee reports and indorsing the Republican National piatform, the convention proceeded to the nomination of a Superior Judge. Only one aspirant for the honor was in the field, F. M. Angelotti, the present in- utpmbenc. He was nominated by acclama- ion, There was also only one candidate for the Assembly, Matthew Canavan, and he was nominated by acclamation.. George W. Burbank was chosen by the convention as delegate at large to meet the delegation from Contra Costa County, in conjunction with the five snpervisoral delegates from Marin County, for the pur- pose of nominating the State Senavor for the two counties. The fight for the Senatorship is between General John H. Dickinson and Charles Taylor, both of Marin County. gy i CUMMANDER NEWELL DEAD, Remains Will Be Shipped to New York . for Interment.

The Testimony Shows That Wynne Was Responsible for the Tragedy. TWO VERDICTS ARE RENDERED The Dead Officer Is Found to Have Lost His Life in the Discharge of His Duty. VALLEJO, CaL., Sept. 3.—Dan Wynne, who shot and killed Officer Frank Toal on Georgia street early Wednesday morning, died last night at the home of his parents. He began about 7 o’clock to grow weaker and died at 10:25 o’clock. This morning Coroner Trull summoned a jury of six persons, consisting of Frank H. Rowland, M. D. Neild, W. 8. Talbot, L. D. Egery, J. F. Courtney and W. N. Saunders. After viewing the bodies of the dead men anda listening to the testimony they brought in two verdicts—one, ‘‘that Officer Frank Toal came to his death on the 24 day of September, 1896, by a gun- shot wound inflicted by Dan Wynne'' ; the other, *‘that Dan Wynne came to his death on the 2d day of September, 1896, by a gunshot wound inflicted by Officer Krank Toal while in the discharge of his duty.” The evidence adduced at the inquest varied but little from that published in THE CALL of yesterday. ‘Witness J. J. Hurley 1n addition to his testimony re:arding Wynne entering a saloon and creating a disturbance, then leaving, told how he had received the blow on the forehead at the hands of Wynne, and for what reason he did not know, as he had not had a moment’s conversation with Wynne that night; in fact he had not spoken half a dozen times to him in his life, and was under no obligation of any kind to Wynne. He thought the blow was intended for another person. J. W. O'Brien, proprietor of the Castle saloon, told how he stood and argued with ‘Wynne after he had hit Hurley, and about the door being opened by Officer Toal, the jumping out of the door by Wynne, and how ne had stood with his hands on the shoulders of each man and seen the fire flash from Toal's pistol afier he had been shot by Wynne, about the bringing of the two bodies into his saloon, the death of the officer and the finding of the revolver used by Toal, which had fallen from his bands as he fell on the Panalacgua’s fruitstore; amination he had tound three chambers empty, showing Toal had fired three shots, wkile Wynne's revolver, which had been picked up by Billy Elias, O'Brien’s bar- tender, had but one chamber empty, showing that the only shot fired by Wynne proved fatal. William Elias testified regarding the visit of Wynne to the saloon, and how he had attempted to clean out the place; how he had left the saloon and returned, and without a word -hit Hurley over the bead with the muzzle of the pistol; the opening of the door by Officer Toal and the going out of Wynne; also his own go- ing out and catching Wynne in hisarms as he was falling from the effects of the shot received from Toal’s pistol; how he found Wynne's pistol and how, in his judgment, Wynne had fired first from the sound of the shots, there being four fired in all. Samuel McClintic, a bartender in the Baltimore saloon on the opposite side of the street fiom where the shooting took place, told a story of a conversation which he had had in the early part of the even- ing with Wynne, who told him he was sick and taking medicine for dyspepsia. Then, a little later on, how he had talked with Officer Toal, who had upbraided bota him and Wynne for keéping bad whisky to sell, and added that if he ran across ‘Wynne he would drink no more bad whisky and take no more hack rides, im- plying that he would do him up when he ran across him. The evidence of McClintic evidently had but little weight with the Coroner’s iury, as 1t looked like a good deal of personal spite displayed. The evidence of Dr. P. Vallejo was also taken. Hegave in detail the course of the bullets in the bodies of each of the men, and also gave a practical illustration of the positions they bad been in when the shots were fired. The jury then retired and in a few mo- ments rendered their verdicts in accord- ance with ihe testimony, which was listened to with close attention by District Attorney Frank J. Devlin and others pres- ent. Officer Toal will be buried to-morrow. ‘Wynne belongs to the Ancient Order of Foresters of America, NEWS OF SAN JOSE.

Every Indication That the Supply Will Be Permanent—The Residents Are Delighted. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Sept. 3.— The tunnel being bored by Charles Hard- ing, under contract to the City Council, and for the purpose of amplifying the water supply of Santa Barbara, to-day at & depth of 700 feet made a rich strike, en- ! from | tering water-bearing sandstone which the water jets out in streams. As the flow is found at the sides and bottom | of the tunnel, it is regarded as of a perma. | nent character, it being a well-established fact among those who make a study of developing water that flows obtained from the roofs of tunnels soon dry out. This tunnel is now 700 feet into the very core of the Banta Ynez Range, and is being bored at an altitude of about 1300 feet. The for- mations tapped have so far been for the | most part a hard blue sandstone forma- tion, with now and then a streak of shale or blue clay, but the excavation is now evidently entering an important natural reservoir perpetuul)y sustained by living springs. Sofar a total flow of thirteen inches has been obtained, but the shrink- age from snrface flows reduces it to the present supply, which is regarded by the engiueers as permanent. The developments of the next few feet will be watcned with intense interest, as every blast is considered likely to add ma- terially to the flow. Mr. Barker’s tunnel, which is situated a8 mile below this in the same canyon, is now in 930 feet, and is be- lieved to have a permanent flow of five inches. These two sources of supply com- bined appear to exceed the present total water supply of the city. Some of the residents in the uvlper part of the town are suffering severely for water, deep- bore wells which have supplied some ol the finest residences having gone dry,while the water flowing through the water com- | pany’s pipes is inadequate for the needs of those who depend upon it, so that some of Santa Barbara's choicest gar- dens are parched and fading. The water company has a corps of men at work across the range preparing for the construction of the great reservoir, which is to impound the watersof the Santa Ynez to be conveyed by tunnei through the mountain range; but this is a work of great magnitude, which will require for its completion years of iime and millions of dollars of capital, and meantime these more modest efforts to increase the present supply are hailed with gratitude by a suf- fering people. OREGON MURDER MISTERY SOLVED Body of Charles Perry, a Mining Man, Found in i a Well MISSING SINCE MARCH. The Crime Is Traced to L. M. Melson, His Companion in the Mountains. CRUELLY SLAIN AND ROBBED. Supposed Culprit Captured — Miners Swear Vengeance and Lynch- ing Is Threatened. GRANTS PASS, Oz., Sept. 3-—The body of Charles Perry, a well-known mining man, has been found in an old abandoned well in this county at Baines station, on the road between this place and Crescent City. Perry has been missing ever since March last. When last seen he was in the company of L. M. Melson of Smith River, Cal. Both Perry and Melson were in thesemploy of the Siskiyou Min- ing Company. They set out (o examine some placer mines in Del Norte County. It appears that Melson deliberately de- coyed Perry into the mountains to mur- der him for his money, several hundred dollars of which he carried on his person. Suspicions of foul play were first di- rected to Melson through the discovery of Perry’s watch, which was recovered and traced to Melson. The latter also dis- played considerable money, which at- tracted attention. The murderer weighted the body with heavy irons before casting it into the well, Deceased was shot in the back, and it 1s believed while asleep. The evidence against Melson, while en- tirely circumstantial, is conclusive. In | consequence he has been arrested by the Del Norte County Sheriff, and is now | awaiting. extradition papers. Both men were married. At first it was believed that the murder occurred on California soil, but it is now certain that it 100k place in Oregon, Perry had a great many friends in this county— men who wotked with him in the copper mines—and they show intense feeling in the matter. In consequence of this feeling it 18 not at all unlikely that Melson will be lynched it the miners get hold of him. At first Sheriff Ferguson determined to sur- render Melson to the Bheriff of this county without the formality of extradi- tion papers, but owing to the excited state of public feeling he has determined to await a formal requisition. This is only one of several mysterious murders which have occurred in this county during the past year. SHOOTS HIMSELY 41 MONTEREY.
