Short Ends Figure Often in the Run Down at Union Park. The run-down of the 78-dog open stake at Union Coursing Park yesterday result- ed In many hard-fought and interesting trials. The hares were strong and took their pursuers =everal limit courses. During the first half of the stake the talent had essy sailing, but one short end being re- corded up to the eighteenth course. Rosle Freedom was the first to break the monotony for the pikers. Petronius was her opponent, and the wise ones fig- ured him an easy winner. Five to one was quoted that he would outpoint the fast daughter of For Freedom, but that somewhat erratic performer was in coursing humor and took the flag with- out allowing Petrdnius to score. In the nineteenth trial Elista out- worked Chicago Boy, a 1to 2 cholce. From that time the talent had to weather a4 hard storm. Every second course re- sulted contrary to the judgment of the wise ones, and in several instances were expensive enough to be annoying. ¥ull Moon, at 1 to 5, laid off and lost to Dread Not. In a long, hard race Alice Louise beat Boodle Boy at 1 to 3, and then Thelma, through favor of the hare, outworked the stake possibility, Freda C, Rich Argosy's defeat of Biack Flush at 1 to 3, St. Ives’ quick victory over Hickory Dick, and Fannie Hughie outgaining Real Article at 1 to 2, added more misery to the lot of the men of money. Amedee is first choice for stake honors in the long odds book at 5 to 1. Olita and Rocker follow at §, and Fine-Form, Tom Hurlick, Sir Pasha, Elista and merica at 8 to 1.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4—F. R. Luch- hardt is so confident that John Baltimore N. Flood is the abductor of his 16-year- old sister, Ruby, and that Flood is the person who caused to be taken from him all of the papers proving heirship and title to_a 320,000 estate in Mexico, that to-day he swore to a complaint charging Flood with grand larceny. When Miss Luckhardt disappeared last Tuesddy morning it was soon discovered that all the documents proving title and management of the Mexican estate of which she is joint heir with her brother bad disappeared. Luckhardt does not fear that Flood can make any successful claim to the estate, but the work and ex- pense of obtaining these necessary docu- ments are valued at $5000. Flood's age is stated at from 2) to 25 vears. He was-for some time in the om- ploy of the Los Angeles Railway Com- rany as a conductor, and bore a good reputation. He claimed to be from Rich- mond, Va., the scion of an old famil The alleged wife of Flood, a young and pretty widow who it is claimed he mar- rle‘(’] bu(th thrhee v‘vleegs &ago, has told the police that her husband ran away wi $500 of her money. s Luckhardt means to run down his sis- ter's abductor, and he is convinced t the runaway pair can be found in Mexico, He will leave at once for Tia Juana, Mexico. £ . to it most satisfactor ishly made To O'BRIEN GOLDEN GATE Avs.;:.«?ozn&{ A T o abaeslls : Just one of many stunning rigs we carry.

SONS ~ ALLOW “THE GIVER” TO BE DRAWN BECAUSE OF SUSPECTED POISONIN Entire Matter Now Under Investigation by the Oakland Track Offi- Duckoy Lea cials---Long Shots in the Betting Nearly Sweep the Card. ds Position Out a Nose for.the Bay City Handicap LS = INE out of ten of the Saturday throng of racegoers to Oakland track were nearly as much in- terested in ‘the méeting of ‘the two clever three-year-olds, The Giver and Waterscratch, in ' the - fourth race ‘on the card, as they were in the outcome of the Naglee selling stake. Judge of their keen disappointment, then, when it was discovered that The Giver was a non-starter, having been scratched. Later on it developed that Owner Boots scratched The Giver because he feared the colt had been poisoned. From all ac- counts there appears to be some founda- tion for his fears. On Friday evening, when the employes of the stable answered dinner call, The Giver was playing about in his stall ap- parently in the best of spirits. On their return one of the men opened the stall and found the colt frothing at the mouth, fretful and nervous and with no inclina- tion to nibble at his feed. Charles Boots | referred the case to the track officials vesterday and Dr. Talbot examined the colt.” The veterinary said that while the symptoms indicated” that some sort of a decoction had been given the colt, his condition was not dangerous. The mat- ter is under investigation. Dr. Talbot said that by to-day he would probably be able to determine positively whether or not the animal's condition was superin- duced by a drus. A Certainty for Waterscratch. The race in guestion looked a two- horse affair, and of course, with The Giver in a ‘dopey’ state, it would have been a certainty for Waterscratch. How- ever, it may develop that the three-year- old was only suffering from some ailment | common to the equine species. Strangely enough, several years ago, while the Bay District track was in operation, Owner Boots had a horse doped, which fact caused quite a sensa- tion at the time. Lucrezia Borgia, owned y Elmwood farm, was matched against eraphim, backed by W. 8. Hall, since de- ceased. The night preceding the race a colored boy named “Cuba”_ gave the fill an opiate of some kind. Danny Lync! was accused of having a hand in the af- fair, and the case came up in_the police court, but a political pull was brought to bear, fortunately for the offending per- sons, and the matter was eventually quashed. There were many surprises in store for the big crowd yesterday; in fact, Water- scratel alone upheld the repufation of the favorites, and he Was held a prohibl- tive 1 to 5 chance. Plead, Finch, Thad- deus, Constellator and Duckoy were all quoted at fancy odds. Constellator First by a Head. The Naglee selling stake at six and & half furlongs resulted in a victory for Constellator, a 12 to 1 shot, riddén by Ransch, which beat Tower of Candles, the second choice, a head. The latter mare cut out the pace with her 83 pounds in the saddle and only at the paddock began showing distress signals. Fit: kanet finished third, a neck before Ord- nung. A barrel of coin went up in smoke on Headwater, which, coupled with Sweet Tooth, came in for a fierce play at odds of 8 to 5. V. Headwater propped with Buchanan and was left. The stake was worth $1200 to the winner. . Although a mile and fifty yards looked a trific fai for her, Kitty Kelly appa- rently possessed the speed of the big bunch of platers starting in_the opening event and. closed favorite. Sbe made all the running, but at the end was collared and Leaten easily by Plead, an 8 to 1 shot, ridden by Hoar. Malaise was third. Foucon, the old-time rider, made his debut as a hurdle rider in this part of the country and plloted the winner fin Finch, a 10 to 1 shot. Foucon took the outsider out in front from the time the barrier was released and finished more than a length before Duke of York, the second choice, at the wire. At the first jump “Stew’ Peters, ‘astride Phil Archi- bald, the favorite, was bumped and un- seated, but managed to climb back into the saddle. His chances, however, were ruined. At the second obstacle Sam Green made a mistake, dumping Evans overboard. Taking the last hurdle St. Anthony fell and Alviso had a hard tum- ble. Both riders escaped | with a few trivial bruises. With The Giver scratched from the fourth event, it left a practical walkover for Waterscratch. The chestnut was held a 1 to 5 chance and won hard held from Legal Maxim and San Lution. Senator Bruce was the only other starter. Lee Jackson on Duckoy just snatched the verdict from Position by a nose at the conclusion of the Bay City handicap, over a mile, with seven starting. Beau Ormonde framed up the pace for over half the route, after which he tendered his apologies. The Fretter was in turn passed by Duckoy, which horse lasted MYSTERY VEILS HRSTA DEATH Redding Officials Disa- gree About a Cabin Tragedy. REDDING, Jan. 4—The circumstances surrounding the tragedy at Keswick are nothing if not peculiar, Terry Rogers, a smelter employe, was found in his cabin in bed, his head blown away by a stick of dynamite. He either put-the explosive on his neck or chest and lay watching the fuse sputter until the crash came or some one crept into his cabin as he slept, Placed tne dynamite across his chest and ighted jt "The Coromer’s jury found that the young man came to his death at the hands of "parties unknown.” The jurors were undecided as to whether Terry Rog- ers followed an unusual method of self- destruction or was the vietim of a hor- rible murder. Justice of the Peace Thompson of Keswick Township was evi- Gently satisfied as to the nature of the tragedy. He has held John Metcalf to answer for the murder without bail. Dis- trict Attorney Dozler says he does not see that he can hold the prisoner and does not realize how the charge came to have been placed against Metcalf. According to the story told to Henr?' Clineschmidt, the Temple Hotel landlord, by Metcalf, the prisoner is a much wronfed man. Metcalf said that instead of belng an enemy of Rogers, who lived in a cabin on a mining claim lying half- way between Keswick and Keswick Sta- tion, the ownership of which is contested by Metcalf and Deputy Constable J. J. Crum of Keswick, he was his friend. Met- calf had been working as a carpenter at the Hart mine, across the Sacramento River from Keswick Station, and when arrested he had several sticks of giant powder in his pocket. He explained their R"e"‘e““ to Clineschmidt by saving that e had been compelled to do some blast- ing at the Hart property and carried off the dynamite sticks by mistake, Deputy Constable Crum was here from Keswick this afternoon. He says that Metcalf lost the disputed mining claim and he bought it at a Constable’s sale. Hard feelings arose over the matter, and Metcalf still ‘claims the property. On N’w Year's day Metcalf warned Rogers to stay away from the cabin, which the smeélterman had been occupylnf at Crum's invitation. Metcalf said he intended to have it occupied by men who were going to work the claim for him. Rogers re- orted the warning to Crum, who told to hold the fort at all hazards.

Thé tennis players spent a busy day on the California Club courts yesterday, many high-class matches being decided. ‘Will Allen, who showed remarkable form in the tournament on New Year's day, continued to improve, as was shown yesterday in his ma with J. D. Mac- Gavin, whom he defeated handily by a score of 6—0, 6—4. Allen is expected to make a strong bid for honors in to-day's tournament, when the final rounds of the New Years event will be concluded. His opponent, R. N. Whitney, is conceded to be 2 much better player under ordinary conditions; but with the handicap of ‘“half thirty” which he allows his oppoment it is ex- pected the contest will be replete with brilllant strokes. The match in to-day's play-off between MacGavin and Brown is creating some in- terest, ‘as both players are evenly matchel. On past occasions when they have opposed each other they have played a star game. In last year's try-out at the University of California MacGavin defeated Brown after a close and exciting match. Since then Brown defeated MacGavin in _the Callftornla State championship todrna- ment. % ‘W. H. Taylor Jr. and Joseph 8.

In a second match between Taylor and Allen and Haight and Tobin the latter team redeemed them- selves by Wlnnlng a fast contest, 6—3. What proved the best match of the day was between Tobin and Taylor and George Whitney and MacGavin, each team securing one set, 6—3 and 69, re- spectively. Some clever net work by aylor and Tobin and terrific driv- from the back court by Whit- ney and MacGavin were the features of this contest.

L e 3 e 0 2 S SRR AT TRAIN CRASHES INTO A WRECK Wrong Signal Causes a Double Disaster in Pennsylvania. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Jan. 4—Because of a wrong signal at the Nineveh tower late last night the fast eastbound Pennsylva- nia mail and express train No. 14 ran into a slow freight ahead, five miles west of this city, and a few minutes later a west- bound freight crashed into the wreck, causing the death of four persons and the serfous injury of at least five others. Train No. 14 got a clear block at the tower, and running ahead at full spsed crashed into the rear of extra freight No. 4%, wrecking the engine and two cars of No. 14 and the caboose and two cars of the freight. Westbound No. 893 almost immediately piled into the debris, the en- gine and ten cars tumbling into the river. The dead are: JAMES G.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4—A great legal en- tanglement was precipitated in the Police Court of the borough of Brooklyn to-day. The last Legislature passed an act abol- | ishing police magistracies and providing for the election of city magistrates, whose functions should embrace those exercised by the police maglistrates: The validity of this act was attacked in injunction proceedings. Supreme Court Justice Marean in Brooklyn dissolved the injunction on the ground that the action was not properly brought, but held the opinion, nevertheless, that the law creat- ing the city magistracies was uncon tutional. The injunction proceedings we: brought by appointees of ex-Mayor Van Wyck against those elected to the city magistracies last November. Relying upon Justice Marean’s decision both the old and the new magistrates to- dxr appeared at the several places of holding court to conduct the courts and as a result there was much confusion. Three of the police magistrates had slept alldthe ni h'thbet:re ilnt barricaded courts and one of the new city magistrates was arrested during the day by order of the police magistrate he was supposed to suc- ceed. There were se: iheldenux.l veral other similar In the afternoon Justice Marean ren- deréd another decision uphoiding the lice magistrates. President fred teers of the Board of Magistrates of ngs County has arranged for a meet- ing of all the rival claimants next Wed- nesday, when an effort will be made to settle future court assignments, provided 1o action of the Supreme Court is taken to interfere with the meeting.
