The fortunes of coursing were not with Sacramento Boy yesterday at Union Park. He was defeated in the deciding course by A. R. Curtis’ game greyhound Flying Fox by the close score of 3 to 2. The hare when llberated made direct for the ‘“‘escape” on the north side of the field near the kennels and took the two fast dogs nearly to the fence. Flying Fox was the first to show in the lead, but was passed when near the hare by Sacramento 1oy. The hare when hard pressed broke back toward Flying Fox, giving him the first turn. He secured a second one al- most immediately. His - opponent then ‘tripped” the hare and Flying Fox dashed in for the kill, which gave him first place and his owner the long end of the purse. Sacramento Boy was allowed one point for speed and one for the “trip.” Flying Fox secured two points for his two turns and one for the kill. The loser was a 2 to 1 favorite. During the stake he ran 187 seconds to his oppo- nent's 138. The Fox started some four pounds over his coursing weight on Sat- turday and seemed to run himseif into conaition. ‘Lhere were several notable courses, es- Pecially those between Hickory Dick and Luxor and Sacramento Boy and Aeolus. in the open stake D.

The Union Mission Army headquarters at 626 Washington street was raided by Sergeant Christiansen and posse between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday morning and forty-two lodgers and the proprietor, A. ‘W. Moore, were arrested and book: at the City Prison on a charge of violating the cubic air ordinance. They were of all ages and nationalities, and most of them laborers. None could give bail and all had to remain in prison. The place is run by Moore, ostensibly as the headquarters of a religious body, the Union Mission Army. but in reality as a cheap lodging-house, the charge being 10 cems for a ‘meal, bed or bath. Moore has been a conspicuous figure on the streets for some years, as he wears the uniform of.a general of the regular army, and his_wife is attired {n a similar uni- form. He has been in trouble here on more than one occasion, and once he was arrested for biting a physician on the arm during a dispute over an account for medical attendance. The old “Palace Hotel” on Jackson street was also raided about 5 o'clock yes- terday morning and seventeen Chinese were arrested for violating the ordinance. ————— PRISONER MAKES A BREAK FOR LIBERTY George Kelly Causes an Exciting Scene in the Corridors of Hall of Justice. George Kelly, who claims to be an aec- tor, was arrested on Mason street about 6 o'clock yesterday morning and booked for drunkenness. He gave the name of Thomas F. Galley. He was released shortly after § o'clock on $5 cash bail and went to the City Hall station to get an order for the return of his property. He was so obstreperous in his demand that he was again locked up for drunkenness. This t'me he gave his name as Thomas F. Kelly and his occupation as a_plumber. Kelly was taken from the City Hall station along with four other prisomers in the patrol wagon to the City Prison. As they entered the central police station, Kelly made a break for liberty. He rushed along the assembly room, along the basement and up the stairs to the first floor, o as to make his exit by the main entrance from Kearny street. Ser. geant Moffitt and several officers had started in pursuit, and just as Kelly neared the street he was overtaken. FHa struggled to get free, but found it useless, and was soon in a ceil in the prison. OFFICERS FIND HIM PREPARING FOR FIGHT Shasta County Man, Supposed to Be Insane, Arrested During the Storm. REDDING, Feb. 3.—After roaming the hills and woods around Kennet for thirty- six hours without food in a flerce storm prevailing for that period “Bill” Brown, a character notorious throughout this country, was taken in charge this even- ing as he walked around the home of Landis, a stranger to him, at Ken- net, vowing that seme occupant of the house intended to kill him and that he was preparing for a battle to the death.

Several weeks ago Brown made an attempt to stab a buck, squaw and Indian _boy near Baird, on the McCloud River. The act was them thonght to be due to intoxication, but this time he is known to have not beén drink- ng.
