8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, CHARLEY THORPE INGOOD FORM Thrice Past the Wire Astride of Winners at Ingleside. Spunwell Disabled With Vic- tory Looking Within His Grasp. The Roman Downed Horatio a Nose. Cash Day Was in Fine Fettls. The sharp riding of Charley Thorpe and the singularly fortunate win of the warm vorite, The Roman, were the features of the sport at Ingleside vesterday. Thorpe was seen in the saddle on five occasions, and his fol- lowers cashed on Dr. Sharp, Argentina and Cash Day. The good colt Spun- 1 struck himself, breaking a small bone in his off fore leg while galloping out in front, and The Roman then downed Horatio a nose in the hardest sort of a drive. But for this unfore- seen accident good judges think the | unfortunate ster would have been returned the winner beyond a doubt. Three of the favorites were in musty condition, but three other choices landed and the talent managed to about pull out on the day's gamb- ling. Twenty-one bookmakers cut in and most of them weresquawking the light play. There ofi ttendance. on was brightened up at the start by the win of Veloz, a 6 to 1 shot.

Ban, Water, George No Foundation for the Rumor of the Sale Being “Padded.” In a recent issue of this paper there appeared an article touching on some of the many thoroughbred sales of late in which appeared the statement | “that it was gossiped about that the After a thorough investigation the writer is free to admit that he was misinformed on the subject and cheer- fully withdraws the assertion. The item was simply given as track gos- | sip and in all due respect to the firm |of Layng & Co., whose sales the past | month or so have been such pleasant |innovations in the horse market, it must be said that an examina- tion of their books reveals the fact that every sale of Macdonough stock was a bonafide one. In the past there has been much by-bidding at firm in the field have been noticeably free from this practice. This idle gos- sip floating about also seems an in- | justice to Mr. Macdonough, whose ex- |tensive purchases of high priced horse flesh have done so much for the breeding industry in this State. turfman is not interested to the ex- tent of one dollar in any of the young- sters disposed of at his sale. F. E. MULHOLLAND. TROD ON @ CARTRIDGE. Exciting Scene at. Market Jones Streets—A Mystery Explained. A resounding report, a puff of smoke and a whistling bullet caused much excitement and for some time con- | siderable mystery on Market street | yesterday afternoon. A horse drawing a heavily loaded express wagon was passing the Sterl- ing Furniture Company, opposite Jones street, when there was a report as of a pistol shot, the horses reared and plunged and two ladies who were walking along the sidewalk about ten feet apart were seen to start as though much frightened. Investigation showed that the horse had stepped on a 38-caliber pistol cart- ridge, exploding it and causing the The ball was afterward found im | ing building.. It was at first thought that the horse had been injured from his frightened struggles, but it was found that he was suffering from nothing worse than a fright. “THE CALL'S” ACIFIC COAST J of the Winter M Track fast.

Leadbetter of Los An- geles Found by His Wife, He Left With Another Woman Over Two Weeks Ago and Came Here, She Had to Threaten to Have Him Arrested for Desertion Before He ‘Would Agree to Go Home. For over an hour yesterday after. noon Mrs. L. Leadbetter of Los An- geles pleaded with her husband in Judge Joachimson’s court room to re- turn home with her, if not for her sake for the sake of their children. She was aided in her pleadings by the judge and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney | Drury, but he was obdurate till they threatened to have him arrested for de- sertion. Then he consented to return with her by last evening's train, and they left the court room together. Leadbetter is a prominent bridge builder in Los Angeles and has a wife and six children, the eldest 16 years of | age and the youngest 4 years. He and his wife have been married seventeen | years. | Saturday, December 18, Leadbetter left Los Angeles, telling his wife that he was going to Arizona to look after some financial affairs. She had no | | week ago when she learned that her ‘;n\-een Sacramento and this city with a woman he was passing off as his wife, She satisfled herself of the truth of the report and came on to this city, putting herself in communicgtion with the police. No trace of Leadbetter or the woman could be found until yes- | terday afternoon. He called at an of- fice on Main street and Mrs. Leadbet- | ter followed him there. She begged | him to forsake the woman he had left | Los Angeles with and go home with | her, and, rather than create a scene in | the office by refusing, he said he would and they went away together. When they reached Market and Montgomery streets Leadbetter told her that he would not go home and walked away from her. In her des- peration she called a policeman and asked him to arrest her husband, as | he had deserted her. The officer took him to police headquarters, accompa- nied by Mrs. Leadbetter. After hear- ing her story she was advised to swear |out a warrant for his arrest on the charge of desertion. They went to Judge Joachimson's court, and, as al- ready stated, he finally agreed to re- turn home with her. The woman in the case was around the City Hall apparently expecting that Leadbetter would return to her, but she had to go away disappointed. JUSTIFIED 1) KILLING 0'ROURKE Thomas H. Lindsay Completely Exonerated by Judge Campbell. | W. Doyle and Louis Seaman Warned to Keep Away From Lindsay’s Saloon. D. | Thomas H. Lindsay, saloon keeper, {12 Ellis street, was fully exonerated by Judge Campbell yesterday after- |noon for the killing of James M. O’Rourke, the racetrack tout. Several witnesses to the shooting were called, among them William Berry, D. M. Saylor and others, and they all testified that Lindsay shot in self-defense and showed wonderful forbearance before being driven to shoot. E. C. Wolf testified to having seen O’'Rourke and his gang about two weeks before the shooting knock a man down with a cobblestone and the man lay unconscious on the street for half an hour. Prosecuting Attorney Spinetti then moved that the defendant be dis- charged. He said that in shooting O'Rourke the defendant violated neither the laws of the land nor the law of God. Colonel Eddy, on behalf of the de-~ fendant also asked that he be com- | pletely exonerated from all blame, as it had been clearly shown that he acted purely in self-defense. He also | asked the Judge to censure D. W. | Doyle and Louis Seaman, who had been hanging around the defendant's saloon and threatening to get even with him yet. Doyle and Seaman were called up and the Judge, after expressing his opinion that the defendant had com- mitted no crime under the law of the land or the law of God, warned them to keep away from the defendant’'s place or they would find themselves in jail. Turning to the defendant the Judge said: “Mr. Lindsay, the echarge against you is dismissed, as I consider you were perfectly justified in shoot- ing to protect your own life.” There was applause in court which was promptly suppressed and Lindsay was warmly congratulated by his friends. .

ESCAPADE OF A [VOLUNTEERS BRIDGE-BUILDER| LOVE AND WED Two Young Officers of] That Body Link Their Fates. Maude Ballington Booth Will Be in This City in a Few Weeks. A Very Large Audience at the Meeting Last Night at Metropolitan Temple. The grand reunion of the officers of the Volunteers of America had a hap- py ending last night when Miss Harris of Stockton linked her fate with that of Captain Thomas of San Diego. The ceremony took place at Metropoli- tan Temple before a very large audi- ence, and it was done with all the simplicity that characterizes every move of the Volunteers. The ceremony was performed by Lieutenant Stur- geon. There was also a baby baptized by Lieutenant Duncan. The child was the three-month-old daughter of Captain Oxley of Santa Cruz, and was given the name of Mary Jane with which to | 80 _through life, Both of these ceremonies were pre- ceded by songs and speeches, and many prayers were said that bless- ings be extended to the newly married couple and the little one just received in_the fold of Christ. Lieutenant ' Sturgeon spoke a few words to the assembly, but in those few words he said more to make the people cheer than anything else dur- ing the evening. He first told them that Mrs. Maude Ballington Booth was recovering and that in a couple of weeks she would be in this city, where she was coming to regain her shattered health. Lieutenant Duncan from Australia addressed the assembly, and during the course of his remarks stated that he had visited many countries, and no matter where he went he heard peo- ple say that the great cause of crime was ignorance. This, he claims, is er- roneous, and he declares that, from his observation, he has seen more crimes committed by the most edu- cated men, and the more they were educated the more heinous the crime. The work done at the convicts’ home, called Hope Hall, was spoken of, and it was shown that since Mrs. Ballington Booth started it that there had been more rescues made through this means than any other known to the worker: |GETTING READY TO RUSH. | Many Parties Will Purchase Their Outfit and Ship From This City. The correspondence has greatly in- creased at the Alaska Trade Com- mittee’'s bureau, and maps and | printed matter are being called for and sent out by the hun- dreds of pounds. Yesterday showed the heaviest demand from the East for printed matter since the bureau opened, and the registration was like- wise heavy. The out-of-town people who registered were all anxious for news of the first steamer going. Letters have been received contain- ing lists of names up to twenty-five | from one town of people who are ready to start and want prices of outfits here, | which they say they understand can be purchased cheaper than in any city | on the coast. A member of Congress from Ohio sends for information for a party of five, who will come this way, in all probability, and all along the route of the car the letters are pouring in. —_———— The Russians rarely drink stimulants without eating a snack with each drink. ROBBED (F HIS NEW SILK HAT Leon Stanton After the Scalp of Police Officer Harrison. He Claims the Latter Did Not Perform His Duty. Formal Charges Preferred Against the Patrolman Last Night. Leon Stanton, a recent arrival from San Diego, visited the office of the Chief of Police last night and entered a formal complaint against Police Offi- cer Harrison of the Southern Station, charging him with neglect of duty. New Year’s night Stanton claims he | was walking along Market street, and when near Powell he was attacked by several young men, who grabbed his silk hat. Stanton chased the man who had taken his hat, and as he refused to return it, he struck the man over the head with his cane, which he broke in three pieces. | Just then Officer Harrison appeared {on the scene, and, after learning the | nature of the trouble from Stanton, started after the alleged thief. After a short chase he overhauled him and took him back to where Stanton was standing. The latter failed to identify him, and he was at once released. As a large crowd had gathered, Harrison ordered Stanton to move on. In his sworn statement, which was made to Captain Healy in the Chief’s office last night, Stanton declared that after the men had stolen his hat, they robbed him of a purse contain- ing $50. He declared that Harrison made no effort to arrest the robber, and that he laughed at him when he informed him that his purse had been stolen. The policeman says he knew.noth- ing of the theft of the money until Stanton incorporated the alleged rob- bery in his sworn statement to Captain Healy. Lulu Was Wayward. A week ago the police were asked to assist in the search for Lulu McNamara, a young miss of 17 years. Last Friday she returned to her home and acknowi- edged that she had been in company with a man during her _absence. The parents appealed to the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children, and yes- terday on the advice of Secretary Brown the svayward girl was sent to the Cali- fornia Girls' Training Home, there to re- main until she knows how (o Lehave her- self.

Once it seemed as though something thick like mucus was passing also and a slight pain or stoppage was noticed.” On consulting a physician this man learned that the fact that he passed an increased amount of urine while taking the tabules was in no way detrimental, but rather beneficial, and that the momentary stoppage was caused by a collection of the mucus washed out of the bladder by the unusual flow of urine, and was a de. sirable thing to have brought about. ot the five.cen Couraxy, No. Ane¥ style packet.
