S Joseph Peckerman, an employe of Zick Abrams’ poolroom, was found guilty by a {dury in Police’ Judge Conlan's court last | night of selling a pool ticket to Policeman McNamara. The jury was out nearly six | | hours and twice asked for additional in- struction before returning the verdict. Policeman McNamara was the strongest Wwitness for the prosecution, but Captain Wittman and Policeman Carr also testi- fled. They made out a clean case. After announcing that the defense had | mo testimony to offer Attorney Collins, in | behalf of Peckerman, addressed the jyry. | He claimed that the prosecution had not | established the case, Inasmuch as it had | failed to prove whether Abrams, the pro- ! prietor of the poolrooms, or the defend- | ¢ | ant sold the ticket which was introduced | as evidence.

Slocum, which occurred Wednesday morn- ing at Colusa, of paralysis of the | heart. In connection with fast horseflesh the name of the deceased was a household word in the mouths of Pacific Coast turf- ites. Among the famous stock bred by Lot Slocum are Lot Slocum, with a mark of 2:17%; Luella, the brood mare, dam of 1. de Turk's rpeedy Mpyrtle, 2:13%, who captured the Paxton stakes so handlly in 1894. Prince Dexter was also bred from the Slocum string. The veteran horseman died in the har- ness, so to speak, for it was while run- ning his horse Teddy the Roan at Colusa that the grim reaper garnered him in. He was a horseman by right of birth and ancestry, Sidney Slocum, his father, hav- ing been one of New York's best known turfites. Mr. Slocum was born in Herkimer, N. Y., in 1834. He came to California in and for several years was identified various business enterprises in this State and Mexico. In 1868 the Excelsior stables, on Sutter, between Leavenworth and Hyde streets, were established under the firm name of Brown & Slocum. Since 1873, when the senior partner died, the entire charge of the business has de- volved on Mr. Slocum, who conducted the management with gratifying success, The surviving relatives are his wife, Ruth B. Slocum, and a son, Harry B! Slocum. NEILL COMPANY HAD A SUCCESSFUL TRIP Politics Growing Novel and Exceed- ingly Warm in the Islands. The Nelill company and Charles A.

The company played the first engagement under American rule In the islands, and the trip, which was largely experimental, proved very successful. This is shown by the fact that the organization played sixteen nights to houses aggregating $is.. mabothe recelpts for the last night being 1400. { . “There is considerable politics in the islands these days,” sald Mr. Parker last evening. “Recently there has been organ- ized a new party which is bitterly opposed to the missionary element and which has had a remarkable growth.
