Mary Guerrero, a woman about 30 years of age, created a sceme at the Southern Pacific depot at Third and Townsend streets last evening and was taken In charge by Police Officey R. A. Tobin. The woman arrived on the 6:30 o'clock train from her home in San Jose and was accompanied by her elght-year- old niece. As soon as she alighted from the cars the woman commenced to scream loudly and running wildly among the departing passengers would ask in a dramatic way where she could find her husband. . When the officer approached Guerrero threw her arms about him declared in endearing terms that he was her much-sought-for spouse and con- sented to accompany him. The woman and her plece were taken to the Central Emergency Hospital and given quarters for the night. The little girl told the at- tendants that she lived in San Jose in the house adjoining that occupied by Mrs, Guerrero. She said that her aunt had asked her to joln her in a visit to this city and had hurried her aboard of the| train. Mrs, Guerrero lives with ber hus- band and two children at 12 Rainier street, San Jose. At the hospital she gave evidence of being slightly demented.

Ten out of the twelve contestants yesterday made better casts than this. Mr. Mans- field was not in his best form, as he has devoted all ‘his leisure time- recently ar- ranging the details of the tournament, much of the work devolving upon him as president of the club. His record cast was fairly made. By a strange coincidence his line fell along the thin measuring board and remained there long enough for the judges to note the fraction of an inch. Mr. Mansfield was closely pressed by H. C. Golcher. The latter made a cast of 127 feet. He had some trouble with his line, which did not work to suit him. T. W. Brotherton was third, with a cast of 118 feet. Ed Everett was fourth, with 113 feet. The three Chicago men were next in order. H. G. Hascall made 112 feet, F. N. Peet 111, and John Waddell X J. B. Kenniff discarded his heavy line in order not to strain his rod. The light line would not perform its duty and Mr. Kenniff fell far below his standard in this event. He performed brilliantly in the accuracy contest, which he won, scoring 96.4 per cent. His nearest competitor was F. N. Peet of Chicago, who scored 948 BIAL'S SLAYER PAYS FOR GRIME Cook Who Murdered an Assistant Dies on Gallows. CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—Lewis G. Toombs was hanged here to-day for the murder of Carrie Larsen. Toombs went to the scaf- fold without a tremor. He protested his innocence and expressed confidence that his name would be cleared of the crime attributed to him. Death resulted from strangulation. The crime for which Toombs paid the death penalty was the murder of Carrie Larsen on the night of December 3, last year. Toombs was cook of the steamer Peerless and had hired the young woman to assist him on the boat, which was ly- ing ice-bound in its winter quarters in the Burlington slip of the Chicago River. The only other cccupant of the boat was Robert Keisslg, a youthful roustabout. It was the story of Keissig that con- victed Foombs of one of the most horrible crimes ever discovered in this city. Late {at night Keissig sald Toombs had come to the steamer and had tried to force his way into the young woman's room. Fail- ing of this, he ordered her to cook him a meal. As she started to comply Toombs strangled her, mutilated her body horri- bly, and then compelled Keissig, who was an unwilling witness, to help him bury the body under the ice of the river. Several days after the boy ran away to the police, fearing for his own life, and told the story which resulted in the re- covery of the body of the woman and the conviction of Toombs. Two trials were held. In the'first two jurors held out for acquittal. In the second trial a verdict of guilty was rendered after a delibera- tion of twenty minutes. A stay was granted and the Supreme Court was ap- pealed to for a supersedeas. Rails From The Dalles to Biggs.

OROVILLE, Aug. 8.—Elvin Freer, a boy of 12 years, living at the Rio Bonito or- chard, nine miles west of here, was ar- rested to-day at the instance of the Dis- trict Attorney*on a warrant charging him with manslaughter. Freer killed his un- cle, Walter Lowe, by shooting him in the back with a 22-caliber rifle. The shooting was done on July 4, and at the time the wound received by Lowe was not consid- ered dangerous. The boy was not arrest- ed as his action was considered justifi- able, inasmuch as he shot in defense of his mother, who was Lowe's sister. ‘The story of the affair as told by young Freer's mother at the Coromner’s inquest was that Lowe came to her house in an intoxicated condition and demanded that she give him money. She had no money, but to obtain a bank check that she held Lowe chased her from the house. The boy interfered with his meager strength, and picking up a club Lowe threatened to kill him. Mrs. Freer was chased into the house again, while the boy ran to get his 22-caliber rifle. He entered a room just in time to see his mother receive a severe Emilio Hearther; eixth, Dick Willlamson; uuh"l’lflow on the face from her ruffian brother.

Kortlang will soon start for his native land, Australia, where he will arrive in time for the summer cricket season. The victory won last Sunday by the Pa- cific Club from the Alameda team gives the pennant for the best percentage dur- ing 1902 to the wearers of the scarlet and black. Six more pennant matches remain on the schedule, but four of these will fall through, owing to the inability of the Sacramento Club (o get together a team. On August 31 the Pacific team will meet the Alameda team again and on Septem- ber 28 the Alameda team will play against the Santa Cruz eleven at Santa Cruz, If Alameda wins both these matches the general result of the season’s play will not be affected, the Pacific Club having a commanding lead. In the match last Sunday between the Pacific and Alameda teams at Alameda the wearers of the blue .and white ran up the creditable total of 146 runs, the incipal scorers being W. J.

KNOX WILL EXAMINE PANAMA CANAL TITLE Attorney General Will Soon Go to France on a Most Important Mission. OYSTER BAY, N. Y, Aug. 8-—It is understood that Attorney General Knox will sail shortly for Europe, where, in France, he will devote some attention to the Panama canal question. It is prob- able that the proceedings looking to the determination of the ability of the new Panama Canal Company to pass a clear title of the property to the United States will be conducted in the French courts. While the administration s anxious to Lave the matter passed on as soon as practicable the question of time will be | secondary to that of certainty that the | United States will have no_trouble with the stockholders of the old Panama com- pany if the property and rights of the new company should be acquired by this country under tie Spooner act. The President, upon whom the responsibility rests, will take no chances upon the re- sults of extended litigation in which the United States might become involved if the property of the new Panama company were purchased before it had been deter- mined judicially that the company pos- sessed the absolute right to convey a clear title to this country. 20 e Officers Fight With Outlaws.

An immense attendance was present last night to witness the game between L. Pechart, the sturdy blacksmith, and Dr. O. B. Burns. The men were evenly matched and a stubborn contest was looked for. Pechart's great nerve and tenacity proved too much for the medical man. However, it was a brilliant game and abounded in hard shots and many high runs. The ecrowd appreciated the efforts of the contestants, and every clever shot brought rounds of applause from the spectators. - Burns started out strongly and imme- diately took the lead. He seemed to be playing rings around the blacksmith, and the wise ones picked him to win in a walk. Pechart did not play up to his form at all, and it seemed Burns would cer- tainly win, as he had a lead of 47 points. Then the unexpected happened. Pechart took a final brace and began to settie down. He made all kinds of wonderful shots and took the entire crowd by sur- prise when he came through with two ;unds of 36 and 17. This gaye him the ead. . After that there was nothing to it. The blacksmith made one run after another, which seemed to discourage his opponent. Burns, however, played a good game, but Pechart had him beaten before the end ceme. 2 To-night the tournament will close. There will be two games, one in the aft- ernoon and one in the evening, and the stars of the tournament will face each other. The score: Pechart 150, average 3 27-41, high runs 14, 18, 36, 11; Burns 123, average 2 39-42, high runs 15, 12, 14, 11. A. J. Mitchell and C. Squire scorers, W. H. Sigourney referee. BRYAN AGAIN DENIES THE CANDIDACY STORY Nebraskan States Emphatically That He Will Not Seek Nomi- nation in 1804. ‘MUSCATINE, Towa, Aug. S.—Willlam J. ‘Bryan settled for all time the rumors that he will be a candidate for President in 1904 in an interview to-day while on his way to Danville, Ill, where he was to speak to-night. Colenel Bryan when shown yesetrday’s reports that he might 'again be a candidate was much nettled and expressed himself in no uncertain manner. He said he wanted the matter settled right now, so there could be no further question. The Mason City Inter- view, he said, was unreliable. “I will not be a candidate for President in 1904, said Bryan. “While I would not promise- never to be a candidate again under any circumstances, I have no plans looking to the future nomination for any office. 1 am perfectly content to do my work as a_private citizen and enjoy my educational work. I shall continue to ad- vocate with tongue and pen reforms which I believe to be necessary.” ki ‘Woodmen Elect Their Officers.

HE meeting of the Pacific Associa- I tion of the Amateur Athletic Union at the Olympic Club last evening was a warm one. The delegates to the association came ready to discuss matters. bearing on the amateur stand- ing of clubs and individuals and before an adjournment was taken some heated discussions took place. The Sherry affair was taken up and settled for all time. Fred Sherry, the oarsmsn, competed in the Fourth of July regatta under Dolphin Club colors, al- though ordered not to do so. The Dol- phin and Olympic clubs claimed his ser- vices and desired him to row under their auspices. Sherry viclated the amateur rule in the matter and the registration commiittee suspended him for six months. The ‘committee also fined the Doiphin Boat Club $10 for its Interference in the matter. Both cases came up before the association last night upon appeal. A vote being taken, the registration committee's action in both instances was not sus- tained. George James, a member of the committee, and Delegate Rothkopf of the Dolphins and Captain Farrell of the same club ‘had a three-cornered wordy battle In which there were criminations and re- tions. The Occidental Athletic Club was elect~ ed a member of the association. Secretary Herbert Hauser called the sociation’s attention to a communicati he received from Secretary Elliott of the Olympic Club, which he characterized as being unnecessarily caustic. He also read a communication from Willam Greer rison,. president of the Olympic Club, in which the latter informed the registra- tion committee that it was overstepping its power in granting permission to cer- tain boxing clubs to give exhibitions. Mr. Harrison is not in favor of the so-called “‘amateur” boxing clubs. He believes they are run for the benefit of making money for professionals. The associa- tion did not take kindly to Mr. Harrison's or Mr. Elliott's communication. Upon motion the secretary was instructed to notify the Olympic Club that the Pa- cific Association was able to look after its own affairs and would not brook out- side interference. It is understood Mr. Harrison has no- tified the clever amateur boxers of the Olympic.Club that they must not box be- fore any organization that s not a bona- fide amateur club. In future outside clubs desiring a sanc- tion to hold a boxing exhibition must pay the sum of $30 as a fee to the association. EASTERN BASEBALL GAMES. Results of the Playing Among Teams of the es.
