Hayden grabbed hold of both Morloch and Graham and threw them down. They siruggled fiercely to get away, but Hayden clung ‘o them both till Policeman Ring arrived, and Gorman was quickly handcuffed. At the City Prison Morloch, who gave the name of Edwards, was booked for dis- turting the peace and assault with a deadly weapon, and Gorman, who gave the name of Graham, with disturbing the peace and carrying a concealed weapon. Sam Blodes was taken to the office of Dr. Griswold, who attended to his wounds, The doctor said that Blodes unusual thickness of adipose tissue saved him from being stabbed to death.

He Was Playing With His Brother and Fell Down a Flight of Stairs Into the Water. Cecil C. Cain, the pretty baby boy of | Lighthouse-keeper Cain of the Farallon | Islands, was drowned in the breakers near his father's home yesterday afternoon. Last night the little baby was brought to this city on the lighthouse-tender Ma- drono and taken to the Morgue. There an inquest was waived and the body was taken away by the heartbroken parents. The story of the baby’s death is a sad one, Justafter noon Cecil, who is 3 years of age, was playing with his brother George, two years his senior, and they wandered down to the boat-landing, 800 yards away from the lighthouse. They were playing near the steps lead- ing down to the water when their father, who was watching the horizon for incom- ing vessels, noticed them. He turned a megaphone toward them and called for them to return. They started to obey, walking toward their home, hand in hand. The father turned again to his duty, and, childiike, they again returned to the steps to watch the breakers roll. The little | boy stumbled, fell and plunged into the | water. George, though but 5 years of ago, was not afraid of the water, and seizing a gaff hook near at hand he hur. ried 1o the bott: m of the staps and tried | to save his brother. | He could not reach him, however, and with bis childish might ran to the light- house to tel! his father, The father saw him coming without his brother and ran to meet him. The little boy told nis father that his brother bad fallen into the water. The lighthouse-keeper searched up and down the water’s edge, but could find no trace of his son. In the meaniime several men hurried to the father’s assistance, and the little body was finally found ina sheltered cove. Death had long since tuken place, and the body was carried to the lighthouse-keeper’s bome. Later in the afternoon the Madrono was made ready and the body was brought to this city for burial. | called Wheeler sold even up against the JOE WHEELER MET A REVERSE Defeated by Anaconda After Going Two Great Heats.

The announcement that Joe Wheeler, the sensational black pacer with a record made at Woodland of 2:081, and Ana- conda, 2:11}{, were to come together the closing day of the fall race meet of the | Pacific Coast Trotting-horse Breeders’ | Association attracted a large crowd to the California Jockey Ciub’s handsome course at Oakland yesterday.

' The clashing of these two giants in the green pace, of course, completely over- shadowed the other two events on the card and all interest was centered in the result.

The half was made by the blackin 1:0134, five leneths in advance of Ster- ling’s horse. Wheeler struck the three- guarter pole in 1:34, still four lengths before Anaconda. Keating now urged the latter along, and although the day- light between the pair was extensively Jessened Wheeler won the heat by a scant length in 2:0774.

The wise ones fizured the heat would do the lanky Joe Wheeler no great amount of good, and in the second betting Ana- conda ruled favorite over him at odds of $10 to $5.
