- OUTDOOR SPORTS. News of the Wheel, the Gridiron, Rod and Gun, Coursing, Cricket and Boating. As will be noticed by a reference to the cycling department, there are several road-racing events scheduled for to-mor- row which should attract large crowds. The trap-shooting season is drawing to 2 close, and sportsmen .are looking pleas- antly forward to some good quail and duck shooting in October. James J. Corbett is vlaying what he thinks a very cunning game with some of the local boxing clubs. It looks now as if Corbett and Sharkey have had an under- standing. If they should meet here there will be many people fooled into paying big prices to see what now has the appearance of- being a hippodrome. The football- players are practicing for the near-futvre games. Rifle-shooters, oarsmen and leash- men are all having good sport at their re- spective pastimes. P e THE WHEELMEN. Several Interesting Road Events to Be Contested Across the Bay. CLUB EVENTS TO-MORROW. Acme Club Wheelmen—Run to Hay- wards. Bay City Wheelmen—Tandem race, San Leandro to Haywards. California Cycling Club—Run to Bo- linas. Garden City Oyclers—Road race with Otympics. Liberty Cycling Club—Run to Center- ville, Olympic Clab Wheelmen—Road race with Garden Citys. Reliance Club Wheelmen—Road race, . San Leandro to Haywards. San Fraucisco Haywards. Road Club—Run to To-morrow will be a lively day with the club wheelmen, there being a match race, club race, joint club race, record trial and a tandem race, all at five miles, besides . the usual number of club runs, most of which latter, however, will be directed to witness these road events. The joint club race between the Olympic Club Wheelmen and the Garden City Cyclers probably ranks first in import- ance. It is to be held over a new course from Milpitas to the junction of the San Jose and Gish roads. The ra will start at 11 o’clock, and the Olympics will leave here on the 6:30 boat, in order to reach there in time. The entries and handicaps are as follows min. : P.Schwah,W. Mackle, 0: D.

Tan- tag, scratch, There will be four time prizes and eigh- teen place prizes, and a hot race is ex- pected. The Bay Uity Wheelmen’s tandem race did not bring out as many entrants as ex- pected, but there will be six speedy teams to contest, and fast time is a certainty, though the Leandro-Haywards course is not in good condition “just mow. The teams are Hall and Menne, + Mendell brothers, Volz and Webber, Vincent and Kanzee, Kraft and Dixon, and Griffiths and Davidson. W. A, Terrill and D. E. Whitman re- turned from their trip to Eureka yester- day morning. Harry Terrill, Edwards, Byrne, Long, Jones and Fawcett will be back to-day. They were well treated while there, so Whitman says, and the Humboldt people evidenced great interest in the cycling events. William Toland Johnson, a popular member of the Bay City Wheelmen, will be married to-day to Miss Fannie Ham- mond, a. charming young lady of this Ciiy. Wilbur F. Knapp, the announcer, and S. G. Chapman returned from their trip to Australia Thursday after an absence oi four months. The newly elected directors of the®Bay City Wheelmen met Thursday night and selected the following officers: Frank H. Kerrigan, president; Santord Plummer, vice-president; Harry Larkin, secretary ; Archie Reid, financial secretary; Walter D. Sheldon, treasurer. : The balance of the board is composed of George P. Wetmore, Frank H. Watters Jr., George Dyer, John (‘i. North, Albert J. Menne and George S. a. . G. Cooper, A Hel Murph e regular bimonthly meeting of the California Associated Cycling_Ciubs will be held next Saturday evening at the rooms of the Bay City Wheelmen. The members of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen in this State seem so well satisfied with their present board of offi- cers it seems’ likely they will all be re- eiected. Ohief Consul Kerrigan will have no opposition if he wiil accept the otfice again. Harlow H. White will not accept re- nomination to the office of president of the Associated Cinbs. J. F. Hancock, the secretary-treasurer, would like his position for another term, and his good work dur- ing the past year entitles him to re-elec- tion. Henry F. Wynne is out for the chief consulship of the league, and Lewis C. Hunter would like to be secretary- treasurer, The California Cycling Club will go to Bolinas to-morrow, led by Captain Mayo. The club will give a dance the second week in October. - The first club run catled by Captain Day of the Bay City Wheeimen will be held to-morrow to Haywards, taking the 10 A. M. broad-gauge boat, to witness the ciub’s fivesmile tandem race and the five- mile_match race between H. A, Goddard and E. S. Battles. The consensus of opin- ion is that Goddard has the best of this match, as it 1s to be against time, unpaced. Invitations are out for the initial hop of the Alpha (laaies’) Oycfing Club, to be held at Hinman’s Hallon Friday evening, October 2. Captain Barrow of the Imperial Cycling Club has resigned and Charles Troiligt has been elected to his place. Fe hasap- pointed E. C. McShane and E. F. Fiynn his lieutenants. This makes the fifth cap- tain of a prominent club to resign this season, the others being Carey of the Gar- den Citys, Pummer of the Bay City, Ram- age of the Santa Rosas and Fawcett of the Olympic Wheelmen. Captain White has called a run of the Liberty Cycling Club to Centerville for to- morrow on the 10 A. M. boat. The club’s election takes place next Tuesday even- ing. Many of the members attended the L. A. W. night at the fair last night. The road racers are all in active training for the- Associated Clubs’ ten-mile race next month, The Reliance Club Wheelmen of Oak- land will hold a five-mile bandicap road race over the Sar Leandro- Haywards course to-morrow morning at 11 o’clock. The entries and handicaps are as follows: G. s, L. Lefevre, P. Hayselden, O. B. Merson S mfuutes: I 'Keating, T. Hayselden, ¥. Plumb, 1:45; P. Bain, H. H. Prige, 1:30; C! n.ghé R. Griffith, G.

Colonel George R, Burdick and Colonel Victor D. Duboce, of the National Guard of California, Edward G. Zeile and Robert J. Woods, all prominent fan Franciscans, joined the League of American Wheetmen this week. 4 The employes of Neustadter Bros. will hold a five-mile bandicap road race over the San Leandro-Haywards course to-mor- Tow morning at 1i o'clock sharp. As much rivalry exists between the different cyclers of the firm a spirited race isex- | pected. The eniries and handicaps are: | J. Witman and Fritz Mager, 2 minutes; | Dave Easton, 1:45; J. Brennan, 1 Moore, 1:00; C. L. Ricketson, C. | Langley, B. Barlow, T. H. Higgins, soratch. The officials will be A. C.Me- | Farland, M. Ballin and Mr. Hoeg. If the managers of the proposed new | track at the Velodrome expect to interest | the public they must present some better drawing-cara for their opening dav thana return match race between Terrill and Jones. These two have had it out and Terrill won conclusively, and there will be little interest attached to seeing them meet again. Jones is a splendid rider and povular with every one, but he lacks the track experience of Terrill, who has had two seasons upon the National circuitand, | besides, is probably a bit speedier than his | handsome rival. | There will be four time prizes and | twenty-five places given for the Associated Clubs’ annual ten-mile race, on October 11. | The theater-party committee of the as- sociation, consisting of H. H. White, R. | M. Welcb, G. H. Stration, A. P. Swain, E. | B. Jerome and J. F. Hancock, has ar- | ranged for a party at the Tivoli Wednes- day evening, October 21, the piece to be presented being Ferris Hartmann’s new play, “The Babes in the Wood.” SpaLDING. THE GUN. Sportsmen Will Soon Have an Op- portunity of Bageing Qualil and Duck. The season of trap-shooting is fast draw- ing to a close. Sporismen are now look- ing forward to the middle of October when the quacking, green-necked bipeds of the marshes and the little fast-flyimng *‘hood- lums” of the canyons will be accorded a warm reception. Migratory birds have | just commenced to put in an appearance. A conductor on the line between Oakland and Sacramento says that teal and sprig are plentiful in the Suisun marshes and that the outlook for the opening daw’s | shoot is very promising. Mallard ducks are very plentiful this year. The Mallard Club, which made such a strong and successful battle last year against the *“‘Preserve” Gun Club, is ar-| ranging for a grand opening on the 15th | of October at its old quariers near Teal station. | Commodore Jersey, who is in charge of | | the Mallard’s ark, states that his warship | has been painted a brilliant red and will carry the latest and most improved arma- ment. The preserve clubs are silent regarding their programme for the season, but it has | been whispered that they will not molest the so-called poachers who may trespass on the mud flats until the cases which have been pending in the courts for sey- eral months are decided. Last week the sportsmen of Suisun, Vallejo, Martinez, Benicia and the coun- | try surrounding those towns. held a very enthusiastic meeting in Vallejo and sub- scribed guite a respectable sum of money to fight the preserve clubsin case their keepers continue to annoy them this season. i\ The Empire and Golden State gun clubs i will meet to-morrow at their respective | shooting stations in Alameda. The Golden Gates have issued a very neat programme, which gives the particu- | lars of the tournament. The first race | will be held at 9:30 . M. It will be 10 sin- | gles; second event, 15 singles; third event, | 20 singles, open to boys 18 yqars old, an i under known traps and known angles; | | fourth event, 10 singles, for ladies; fifth event, a50-bird shoot for novices, for a goid | medal which must be won twice to be- ! come the property of the contestant; sixth | event, 20 singles; seventh event, 10 sin- | gles, class shooting; eighth event, 5 pairs | | of doubles. The State sportsmen will hold their an- nual live-bird tournament at San Bruno | on October 2and 3, and the Calfornia In- | animate-targef Association will have that | long looked-for meeting of the year at San | Jose on October 4 and 5. It is expected | that 400 shooters will face the traps. - The many triends of John H. Sammi, a well-known and popular sportsman of tais | City, are very anxious that he be ap- pointed a Fish Commi:sioner—an hono- | rary position recently left vacant by the resignation of W C. Murdoch. Mr. Sam- mi is a strong believer in game protection, and would fill the piace to the satisfaction of the sportsmen of this State. S THE ANGLER. Where Good Fishing May Be Had During the Last Month. Anglers shounld not forget that there are only six or seven weeks more left to them to enjoy & favorite pastime. Latest reports from Boca state that good | fishing is now the rule, and that Messrs. Mansfield, Bogard and Chesley have had | first-class sport on the main stream, The Big Sulphur near Cloverdale should now be in grand order, and a Visit to that stream will well repay any lover of fly fishing. John Butler and eompany are enjoying good sport in Eel River, near Scotia.” As the anglers will npt return until about the middle of October the friends of Dr. von Hoffman and Frank Marcus expect to re- ceive several nice messes of steelbeads. John Gallagher, the chamvion angler of Oakland, has shipped several boxes of nice small fish to his friends. He has dis- covered that steelheads like chease. While esting lunch one morning recently in a fishing-boat Angler Johin threw a small piece of cheese overboard and to his sur- prise a large steeliead made a dash for the stuff. Galiagher thought that cheese would prove a killing lure and to his as- tonishment he discovered on_trial that it was just the right thing. Since having made the discovery the champion of Oak- land caught aimost all of the iarge fish he landed on cheese. Now Gallagher's “cheese’” fly 1s all the go with IBFIBI'! who ww and spoon the beautiful Eel . A. Tilley, the popular Railway Mail Service clerk, left last Friday morning for Los Angeles, where he intends spending a day or two fishing for yellow-tail. Mr. Tilley has invited his friends to be on the lookout for him on Sunday morning, when he expects to be able to show them, as he says, *‘fish worth catching.” 'rom the bulky appearance and length of the rodcase he carried we would infer that he would have no trouble (if he had sufficient line) in landing a whale, let alone & yellow-u& James Wigmore, W. W. Richards, J. Grogan of Oakland and Antonio Bertolina caught recently off Duxberry Reef 700 pounds of rocktish ranging in weight from two to five pounds. The fish were of the gray-red and not of the pink-red so fre- uently taken near the Farallones. This E the catch of the season. s THE OARSMEN.

The Pioneers have three, the Ariels four, the South Ends six, the Dol- phins four, the Alamedas three, the Stock- ton Atnletic Association two and the Olympic Ciub Boating Annex three, The new four-oared shell of the Olyra- pic Club is said to be the fastest on the coast, but the South End Club had a paper-shell that was used by the old Far- ragut Club in the big Vallejo regatta hela some years ago, and with which they out- distanced all competitors. | It is being noised about that the boat clubs are going to vacate the old bridge and seek quarters about the more pllt:i«:lJ waters of Oakland Creek. Tne prizes won at the Stockton regatta on September 9, will be presented 1o the oarsmen in about three weeks. The asso- ciation has ordered that they be all medals instead of sundry articies of jewelry, owing to the races being championship events. | The South End Club has received new | skiffs. They are a little narrower than the ordinary style of boat, and are said to be much faster. = Tie Dolphin Boating and Swimming Club will hold an interclub regatta shortly. and the following have entered: T.J.

Paich; | Dick Blennerhasset and W. von Hadeln. | A special outrigger-skiff race will be Leld on the same day between Tom Kee- nan and Tom Kenneay, both of the club. o e FOOTBALL. St. Mary’s College vs. Santa Rosa To-Day—Varsity Prospects, | The first football mstch of the season will be played this afterncon at Central Park, when the 8t. Mary’s College team will meet the Santa Ross High Bchool eleven. Game will be called at 2:15 o’clock. The High School boys comprise the strongest eleven in and about Santa Rosa County, while the college team, averaging 160 pounds to'the man, stripped weight, has several dashing and gritty players of some experience. The foliowing line-up, subject to pos-ibie | minor changes, shows how the teams will face each other: ST. MARY'S. Mahoney '99. Hastings 99, Brady 99 Morcel "9} McGuire Cone "97. Hawyard PosITION.

To givethem all the practice possible before their big match, the management will endeavor to get games with Belmont school, San Ma- teo, San Francisco High 8choo!, Oaklaud High School and University of Nevada and, possibly, with other high schoolsan with St. Mary's College. ‘With neariy fiity men out on the Stan- ford gridiron for daily practice this week, and Coach Cross himself an active parti- cipant in the snappy play, prospects have seldom looked brighter at Palo Alto thus early in the season. And at Berkeley, even thouin Butterworth will not arrive until October 1 to take charge of his old pupils, the men are turning out in large numbers for the prelimiuary instruction under Captain Ransome. hough both universities have injured men on the tem- porarily retired list, the customary cry of despair has not yet been sounded to enlist public sympathy, excuse a defeat or en- hance the glory of a victory. e ey COURSING. Ocean View Park Will Be Closed To-Morrow for Repairs—Ingle- side Drawing. The tapping of carpenters’ hammers will take the place of the whining of eager hounds and the shouts of enthusi- astic leashmeh at the Ocean View cours- ing grounds to-morrow, for it has been de- management of the park that the grand stand must be remodeled and many other expensive improvements made before the resort is reopened.

At the same time I sug- gested that anotber effort should be made to bring about a match with local players. The suggestion has been acted upon, for the committee originaily appointed to ar- range a fixture, and consisting of R. B. Hokue, captain of the Alamedas; W. Rob- ertson and R. H. Delafieid, a vice-president of the association, has decided, in collabo- ration with the St. George’s Club, to wire a challenge. If the affair is arranged it will come off at the Presidio grounds, where a concrete pitch will be Jaid and every arrangement made to secure for the event a big success. The Australian team would be the most formidable antagonists ever pitted against local talent. hey played thirty-four | matches in England, of which they won nineteen, lost six—the other nine being drawn. They have walked all over the Philadelphia and New Jersey combina- tions, and will doubtless make mincemeat of the Chicagoans. Consequently should the local players meet them and make a creditable showing, it would be the best possible tonic for the game throughout B chowi the season’s batting aver- ‘ollowing are the sea: 5 s: Batting—S.

SACRAMENTO, CaL,Sept, 25.—01d market hunters who have tramped the tules for years are not at all enthusiastic over the outlook for much shooting. They claim that there 1s very little duck feed iu this vicinity this yesr and they attribute thie to the continued high water, which has not oniy prevented the young tules from springing up, but has allowed the carp an opportunity to destroy vegetation. At the present time &ll of the ponds are well stocked with ducks, which have been bred near them, and for some weeks there will be good shoot- ing. In toe lower river districts the first ar- rivals of the migratory flocks, composed of teal and baldies, have been reported.

VISALIA, CAL., Sept. 23.—Last Sunaay after- noon a team from Lindsay defeated the local baseball nine by a score of 6 to 5. It was by far the best game played here in years. Cap- tain Hutchinson, the superintendent of the Lindsay orange and lemon belt, is an admirer of the national game, and we are pleased to know that he has the best bail club, not only in the county, butin_the valley.. We under- stand tbet Captain Hutchinson intends put- ting up a valuable trophy to be contested for | by teams in Tulare county. A return game will be played at Lindsay next Sunday. A number of our wheelmen will take a run out 1o see it. The gun club will have a busy day next Sun- day. The “State” team will practice on live- bird shooting in the morning, and in the after- noon a medal shoot will take place. W. J. Bell and Ed. P. Myers are training for the bicycle races in Fresno next month Now that the cool weather is here, the talk of having a recreation park here has been resumed. The swimming club have secured the ser- vices of Professor Armstrong, the well-known swimming teacher of Santa Cruz, and sre well pieased with his work. CARROLL. B{X NG P<RMITS FAVJIRED. The Health and Police Committee Made Glad the Promoters’ Hearts. The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yester- day to recommend the granting of a num- ber of boxing night permits, the most im- portant being that of the Eureka Club, which hopes to draw the big crowd to see Corbett and Sharkey fight on the evening of November 26. The National Club will probably get a permit for some date during November, “ the Ban Francisco Athletic Club for November 26 and the Armory Club for a date yet to be decided on. It was also decided to recommend that the management of the Golden Gate Car- nival be given a permit for & mixed boxing and wrestling entertainment to be held on October 2. FOUND THE COOLGARDIE, John A. Marshall Now on His Way to Procure Eng- lish Capital. How the First Big Stx!iku Was Made in Australia’s Famous Gold Diggirgs. John A. Marshall, the discoverer of the real value of the famous Coolgardie min- ing district in Australia, was in this City last night, baving arrived on the Mari- posa, but left on the overland train for New York, whence he will embark on the first available steamer for London to form a syndicate to work yast auriferous de- posits on. the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand, ‘which Mr. Marshall “has under bond. Unlike his namesake, Captain Marshall, who is credited with the discovery of gold in California, the Australian minerina few short years has waxed fabulously rich, and from almost absolute poverty on the day he made his first big strike has become the possessor of mines that are expected to produce the ransom of an empire. The Coolgardie mines were almost en- tirely unknown when Marshall and half a dozen companions, who had heard re- ports of wages to be made there, packed up their kits in the mining camp where they were working and stacted for the new diggings. Each took up his little 50x50 plat of ground and began delving. Marshsll and a companion took up claims side by sige and dug industriously for several days, taking out about enough to pay for food. One day while Marshall was sitting on the edge of his peighbor’s pit, eating his dinner and watching bhim picking away af the earth, the former suddenly saw something in the character of the earth that was being removed that told his ex- Parienced eye that a rich pocket was near. The other man, not being a practical miner, paid no attention to the indica- tions and soon began to work away from them. The next day when he began grumbling to Marshall about his iil lack the latter offered him three ounces of gold for his claim, saying that he desired to enlarge his own workings. The man refused, but a day or two later, after a particularly poor clean-up, he accepted the tbree ounces, and on the following morning packed his belongings and left. Marshall at once went to work on the indications he had seen, and by following them with the utmost care first with his jackknife and later with pick and shovel soon un- earthed a pocket from which he took 860,(;00 in about forty-eight hours of actual work. He kept the matter as secret as possible and had found several smaller pockets be- fore the news got abroad and the rush for the new dizgings began. A sale of his claim netted Marshall many thousanus more, and later he tried other mining dis- tricts, usualiy with much_ success, so that his fortune soon amounted to hundreds of thousands. . The fame of the Coromandel diggings took Marshall to New Zealand, and realizing that a large outlay of capital would bring heavy returns he determined to play for a big stake, and bonding sev- eral extensive properties started for Eng- land to see the money kings of that coun- try. ———a——— WILL PRINT 1HE REGISTER. A New Bidder. Successful Before the Commissioners. To the surprise and .chagrin of a ma- jority of the bidders the contract for print- 1ng the register was awarded to W. A. ‘Woodward & Co., at 293 cents per name. Several days ago, when the original bids were opened it was found that thay of Heringhi & Co., 293{ cents per name, was the lowest, but the protests of the other bidders that Heringhi was not a union printer and would ot be able to do the work on time prevented an award, and it was finally decided to advertise for new bi it to be presented by union printers only. - These were opened yesterday as follows: LETrads Sl W terett, cents; Hicks, Ju cents; H. B. Crocker & Co., 41 cents. As Woodward & Co. are employers of union labor the register was awarded to them. The contract is worth $23,000, Burglars on Jones Street. The flat at 2213 Jones street, occupied by E. 8. Belcher and family, was entered by burglars early Thursdey evening. The occupants were absent, and entrance was effected through the front window off the front stair. The thieves then used a jimmy to break open the door leadlng to the hall, after which had_full the nouse. They seem DR, WOODS WOULD BEAT HER HUSBAND Because He Insisted on Seeing His Little Children. SHE USED A HORSEWHIP Sad Story. of a Mild-Mannered and Most Forgiving Spouse. ORDERED OUT OF THE HOUSE. Result of an Order of Court Award ing to Woods His Two Children. According to an affidavit filed yesterday by Joseph L. Woods, who is employed by the Union Assurance Company, he is a greatly abused man, and his ex-wife, who is a practicing physician of Berkeley, only lacks the legal right to male attire to achieve anything commonly supposed to be man’s prerogative. The parties were married over twenty years ago and lived together until 1891, when Mrs. Woods deserted her husband. He subsequently obtained a divorce and by the terms of the decree was ordered to pay $75 per month toward the saupport of his four children. He was also given per- mission to visit the children whenever he sq desired. Although Woods more than kept his part of the agreement, his wife was in the habit of flying into a rage almostevery time she saw him. Usually when he vis- ited his home to see his offspring his wife ordered him out of the house. June 22 Judge Beawell modified the original decree of divorce to the extent of granting the plaintiff the custody of the two younger children. But his wife ab- solutely refused to let him see the chil- dren at all, and when he persisted in calling for that purpose he says she cow- | hided him. The whipping took plu_. on July 12, Recently Woods has been in straitened circumstances and has been unable to pay the $75 per month alimony. His creditors are pressing him aud he desired to mort- gage his home on Ashby avenue, Berke- ley, which is occupied by his wite and family. Dr. Wilhemina E. J. Woods, under which title his ex-spouse salls, re- fuses, however, to allow him to do so, be- cause of the back alimfony he owes. Woods therefore yesterday applied for an order further modifying the divorce de- cree. He asks that the wife be allowed to keep the house and he be freed from pay- ing further alimony, or that she be made to release it, so that he can mortgage it 10 meet his obligations. ‘When the matter was called in Depart- ment 1 yesterday Dr. Woods wasnotready to go on with-the hearing, so the matter went over for two weeks. A QUEER DISAPPEARANCE J. M. Kennedy Left Angels for This City in July and Has Never Been Seen Since. Was Once Worth $50,000 in Salt Lake but Lost It and Attempted Suicide. * R. M. Kennedy, an old and wealthy resident of Denver, has written Clerk Burke of the Occidental Hotel inquiring about. his son, J. M. Kennedy, who for- merly lived here, and who on July 13 strangely disappeared. On tnat day young Kennedy was in Angels Camp and took passage on. the Angels stage for San Francisco. None of his friends have ever seen him since, nor has any one, as far as known, received a linefrom him. It is thought that he may be dead; that he probably committed suicide, for he was very despondent. He had been losing money steadily, until a comfortable for- tune had been dissipated, and he was liv- ing on the chance contributions of friends. He had also been drinking heavily, and this added to his unhappiness. XKennedy had haa a strange career, as was_told yesterday at the Occidental by A. N. Butts, the mining man, who is de- veloping properties at Angels. He had known him at Salt Lake, where, as a real- estate dealer and general speculator, in "the early nineties, he had acquired a com- petency of about $50,000. He lost this, as Mr. Butts sgys, at the time of the decadence of the Salt Lake boom. He became despondent and at- tempted suicide with a revolver, the ball guning entirely through his body. How e escaped death was a miracle, but after a long time he recovered from the wound and came to San Francisco. The young man reached here nearly three years ago, and shortly afterward opened a real estate office in the 600 block on Market street. He remained here a year and a half or two years, and then went to Angels Camp. g He hoped to catch on in the mining boom, and it is said he was staked in small sums by friends. He was unsuc- cessful there, however, and drank rather heavily, so much so that it simply inter- fered with his work. Kennedy borrowed money from Mr. Butts till he owed him probably $75. Finally Mr. Butts bought a ticket for him to San Franciico. at was the last seen of him. “I believe now that he isdead,” said Mr. Butts, yesterday, as he perunsed the letter that had been given him from R. M. Kennedy of Denver. “Of course it is pos- sible that he has wandered away to some remote mining camp, but as he had previously attempted suicide in Salt Lake, and bad often at Angels threatened to take his iife, I think likely he has either drowned himself or used a revolver fatally. “‘His father is known as Dr. Kennedy in Denver. He is the patentee of a medicine regularly sold. He is an old resident of Denver and owns a good deal oi real es- tate and mining property. He is vice- NEW TO-DAY.

Heinze Takes His Own Life and Harry L. King Dies Acci- dentally. Two cases of gas asphyxiation were re- ported at the Morgue yesterday. The first was that of F. W. Heinze, 191 Hyde street, who, on account of troubles, real or fan- cied, committed suicide. The second, Harry L. King, met death accidentally. Heinze is a married man, but not much is known of him. He has been separated from his wife for some time and has been living at the address already given. Yes- terday morning his landlady, Mrs. Simon- son, detected the odor of escaping gas and traced it to Heinze's room. The doors and windows were closed and from the gas jetran a rabber tube which the sui- cide had placed in his mouth. Thegas was turned on with full force. On the bureau was found a note written in Ger- man which, transiated, reads: To Margaret Heinze: Do you remember that year when we stood before the altar and you {mk) my hand to be true to me during all your You were no wife tor a husband. The chil- dren ought to be ashamed of themselves and also the son-in-law, Attinger. Mrs. Simonson, at whose house Heinze lived, says she never heard him speak of his family and consequently knew noth- ing of the difficulty or where Mrs. Heinze lived. From all appearances the death of Henry L. King was purely accidental. He was a widower, 84 years old, and lived with is daughter, Mrs. Latham, 2001 Cali- fornia street. I'he latter says that her father must have endeavored to turn off the gas and left the stopcock partly open after the light had been extinguished. The investigations of Deputy Coroners Hallet and "McInnes bear out this pree sumption. ————— The Dimond Trust. Judge Slack yesterday ordered the executors of tbe will of W. H.

How many unfortunate men have vio- lated the laws of nature and are now pay- ing the penaity? Some have been addicted to foolish habits in their youth; some have over- indulged later in life; while others have wearied themselves into unmanly weak- ness over bad crops, business reverses or financial failure. In one way or another they have overdrawn on their stock of vitality, which is getting dangerously low. As aconsequence they have lost their grip on life. Every little annoyance seems a moantain of despair. Every speck in the heavens looks like an over- whelming shadow. Every cherished am- bition is dead, and the poor, suffering victim almost wishes he were dead too. He thinks of suicide. Men, there is help for you.
