THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1897 MAGNET RECOVERS - HIS OLD SPEED And Beats Buckwa a Head in Exceedingly Fast Time. The Schrieber Stake Captured by Estro, a. Sen of Flambeau ‘Mamie Scott Tock a Mile Run at 0Oids of 100 to 1—Y men the " Only Winoing Choice. The sport at Ingleside track was much enjoyed by the big crowd in attendance Yesterday even though it wasa trifle jerky | and iridescent 1o sp It was another | banner day for outsiders and the plungers apd form players unloaded enough of thelr coin to T veral racetracks. When " ¥ the third event arying men were of ennui that had | o and Lincoln | e two follow- | thus relieving There was a | in t.e big ring sentangled from | y r at a_country fair, the bookmakers’ bank rolls must have. fattened quite extensively. Of all | the seven favorites sent to the post Ye- men the aged sprinter alone justified the confidence reposed Seldom have four faster sprinters met on any track than the quartet that triea conclusions in the last race of the day, a six-furlong n, and the big crowd patiently abided the time for them to r spond fo the bugle cail. Libertine 10 Buckwa 104, Magnet 107 and David 106} was the collection of speed assembled. | Dan Honig’s pet Magnet was first chalked | up a 6 to 5 choice in the ring, but the | wiee ones figured that he wasnotuptoa bruising race, and Buckwa carried the vulk of the biz money bet, cutting his | odds from 8 t0 3 10 6 to 5, while Magnet's | odds receded 10 8 to b._Six to one was | | | | obtainable against Galen Brown's big bay and 12 agawnst plain-looking David. Buckwa was lirst away from the bar: with Magnet trailing about two lengt behind. “Tod Sloan had a gentle wrap on the leader swinging into the stretch and evidently fancied himself astride the soft- | ¢ thing of the day.

M., and all and Sallie G, carrying | joining and e Burke, headed | quested to call on Mr. McKenzie on or in the opening mile selling dash, with Tar and Tartar ruling a consistent 2 to 1 favorite. The winner turned up in Olive, which receded from 5 to 2 to fours, and heading her field a furlong trom the wire, won with considerable to spare from Japonica, the Corrigan entry. The favorite was a close third. 3 In the next, a six-furlong selling sprint, the money went in on Yemen as though it were all over, forcing his odds from 8 t0 5 down to 11 to 10. The contending horse, Midlo, was left at the post, and the favorite romped home an easy winner from Bena- mela. Pat Murphy was a close third. The biggest surprise of the day was the win of the third event, s mile run, by Mamie Scott, a 100 to 1 outsider in the betting on the twelve starters. Stentor was a 9 to0 10 favorite, with Tod Bloan up. When_the barrier was raised Piggott rushed Mamie Scott away in advance of the bunch, and; maintamning her lead throughout, won ridden outa length be- fore the fovorite in 1:433,. McLignt made a good run, being beaten but a head for the place, The first choice was away poorly or he would have won. The start for the mile handicap was an unfortunate one, both Argentina and Moylan being left at the post. They were second and fourth choices in the betting, respectively. Installator, in at 109 pounds, with Sam Doggett up, was a consistont 9 to 5 choice. The long shot players backed Flashlight, carrying 98 pound, and they got a great The outsider led the party until past the paddock, where the fast clip began to tell and he was nabbed and beaten out half a lencth by Lioecoln IIL, ridden by *‘Pebble” Thomp- son. Installator was a poor third. The winner was backed down in the betting from10 to 8 to 1. A deliciously relishable specimen of the “lobster’” species was served to the Ingie- side association’s guests in the mile and a half hurdle handicap, in the crack jumper B 1l. The ‘“lepper,” ridden by J. Owens and delegated to carry 145 pounds and pitted azainst a very ordinary lot, was naturally installed an 8 to 5 favorite. His showing in the race was about the worst ever made on one of the local tracks, being taken back to the rear of the bunch, where he stayed and finished. Arundel, played down to the printer’s name by the wise clique, won the affair easily from Governor Budd, a 10 to 1 chance, with oid Dungarven finishing in the show. o o OTES, J. Owens, rider of Baby Bill, and the horse and his owners, King Bros., were suspended immediately after the hurdle »ace for the disgraceful showing made by the jumper. The horse was undoubtedly a “dead one,’” as weil as one or two others in the race, and a severe ruling may serve to make this branch of the game a trifle more clean, for a time at least.

Hagan Has Made| His Ante-Mortem Statement. Mrs. Hagan Is Detained in the City Prision Pending De- velopments. [ | | | | | | | Shs Claims He Threaten:d to Kill| Her With a Hatchet and She Defended Herself. John P. Hagan is hovering between life and death in the Receiving Hospital and bis young wife Mary is in the City Prison, and should her husband die, she will be | charged with murder. The police were notified yesterday morn- ing that Hagan's death was only a question of hours, and Corporal Leinden was sent to take his ante-mortem statement. | Friday night Hagan made contradictory statements. At first he said he was play- ing on the sofa with his baby girl in his residence, 33 South Park, with a curving. knife in his hand when he siipped from | the sofa and fell upon the knife. Later he | said he was chopping wood, and his wife | had the carving-knife in her hand. In a| playful struggle for possession of the knife | he was cut. In his ante-mortem statement he deliberately charges his wife with_cutting | him with the knife, and declares that it is the truth. The statement is as follows: Believing that1am sbout to die, I, John P. Hagan of 33 South Park, make this, iy dying statement: About 7 o'clock last night, after supper, I came home. My wife was under the intiuence | of liquor. Taccused her of it anc she began to throw things at me. Iexplained to ner | that she would be nothing but a common | woman if she kept on associating with the | peoplo that she was associating with. She | claimed that my mother put me up 10 say | those things about her. She went to a drawer, | took out a carving-knife and said, “—you, I | will cut your heart out.” I had wy two hands | in my pockets when she cut me, as1did not | think she would do it. Ithen ran out into | the street. This is true. | After making the statement his wife | was ushered into his presence, and in | answer to the question as to whether she | had used the knife upon him he replied | Mrs. Hagan, who is only 21 years of age, | claims that she was forced 1o seize tue knife to defend herself from her husband, who was threatening to kill her witha hatchet. “He came home last night in an ugly | mood. After supper he lay down on the | iounge and after he had slept for an hour | or so something the baby did awoke him. He abused me fir not taking care of the baby and began to throw things at me. I | expostulated with him, but it made him | worse and he called me a bad name. | “He got hold of me and threw meon the floor. He picked up the hatchet and said he had a good mind to kil me. 1 was afraid he would, as he Lad often | threatened to kill me, and I struggled with him and got to my feet. | ““He was coming at me again, and I had | the carving-knife in my hand him away from me with tbe knife and he | went out. The way 1 pushed him with the knife could not havecut him, and i | believe he stabbed himself, as he was al- ways talking about not caring to live. He | did not get onJwell where he was working and that seemed (o make him despondent. | He only got $55a month and he thought he should have more. | *“The people 1 associated with are good | peovle, just as good as he or his people | are, and he had no right to talk that way about them. He was always jealous, and one day when 1 was talking to a man from Alameda he grabbed bim by the throat, and I thought he would have | killed him. I knew his folks never liked | me, and after I was about a year married, | just after my baby was born, I had to| leave him and go to my {ather's house. 1 | was away from him about a yearand then | went back to him. “Idon’t deny that I take a glass of beer NEW TO-DAY—CLOTHING.

He represented himself to be a policeman and said he was in need of ready cash and wanted to sell bis warcant for February. The §100 was handed to him, less the usual commission, and he signed the regular order in ihe name of Luther M. Say, who wears star 550. A few days later ne again visited Kampe's office and sold his warrant for March, again signing Say's name to the order.

From what she said they have lived unhappily since they were married. She was only 16 years of age when she first met him, and they were married within a year.

He lives at 1527 Willow street, Ala- meda, and yesterday morning Mrs. Ha- gan’s little girl was taken to his home. POLIOEMAN’S NAME FORGED. This Led to the Repeated Swindling of a Money Broker. The police are searching for a man who has committed two clever forgeries, by which he is $200 in pocket. They are more than usually anxious to have him within their clutches, as he has been bold enough to forge the name of one of their number. On February 1 a man called at the office ot J.and 8. Kampe, money brokers, 916 The police warrants were handed out yesterday and Say got his and took it to ihe Auditor. Say was astounded when the Anditor told him be had an order from Kampe for his warrants for February and March. ““There must be some mistake,” said Say, “as [ never gota_cent from a money broker in my life.

A LOWELL SCHODL 5 CHAMPION It Is Triumphant at the‘ First Academic League | Meet. | Scores 23 Points out of 36, With Central High School Second. Stirring Incidents of the Day—Entries, Time, and Winners of the | Various Events. The first bicycle meet of the Academic Athletic League was held yesterday after- noon at the Velodrome. Although the spectators were mostly limited to the pupils of the schools and a few ladies, the boys put up races deserving of greater at- tention from lovers of the sport. The meet was for the championship of the league, with 5 points for the first place, 3 for second and 1 for third. The result was a winning for the Lowell High School, which scored 23 points, 010 for the Central High School, 3 for the Ala- meda University Academy and 0 for tbe California College Academy. The entries for the first heat of the half- mile were: Russ, L. H. 8.; Agnew, C. H. 8.; Bill, L. H. 8. Kor the second heat: Woerner, L. H. §.; Kenna, C. H. S.; Bozio, L. H. 8.,and Goodfellow, A. U. A. Russ won the first in 1:23, with Bill second. Kenna came out ahead in the second in 1:28 3-5, with Woerner second. In the final Russ won in 1:09 1.5, with Kenna second and Woerner third. For the one mile the entries were Ful- ler, L. H. 8., and Bozio, L. H. 8., for the first heat, and Cornell, L. H. S., Agnew | and Blanchard, both C. H. 8, for the ssc- ond. Fuller won the first heat in 2:40. The second was disqualified because none of the racers came up to the time limit of 2:40. It was re-run, Blanchard winning in 2:40 3-5, Cornell second. By an error of the timekeepers the bell was rung oh the next to the last lap. Blanchard came in first, with Cornell sec- ond, but Blanchard dropped back, think- ing the race was over, and when the bell rang a second time Cornell crossed the line a winner, with Blanchard second. It was on account of this error, thereby decreasing the speed of the men, that the time wes allowed. When the final was run Fuller led off, but Blenchard forged ahead amid the’ great excitement of the schoolboys. Fuller sgain went to the head in a few more laps and stayed there, despite the strenuous efforts of the piucky Blanchard to pass him, winning in 2:30 4-5. Blanchard came second and Cornell third. In the two-thirds of a mile event the entries for the first heat were Fuller and Cornell, L. H. 8., and Boole, C. H. §.; for the second heat Goodfellow, A. U. A., Blanchard, €, H. S, and Bill, L. H. 8 The first was won b{ Fuller in 1:49 3-5, Cornell second, and the second by Blanch- ard in 1:38, with Goodfellow second.
