The daring motorist and his friend, Harry Alexander, succeeded in subduing & trio of drunken hoodlums and then barely escaped being mobbed by a crowd of onlookers, who seemed to sympathize with the vanquished. Oldfield and his party were on their way in from Ingleside shortly before 7 o'clock. In the party were Oldfield and Mrs. Oldfield and Harry Alexander and Mrs. Alexander. large touring car, which was towing Old- fleld’s racer Bullet No. 3, in which was seated Charles Graham, Oldfield’s machin. ist. Olafield and his friends were going along at a slow rate and in front of them was a party of three men in a buggy, all | slightly under the influence of liquor. Old- field’s machine soon overtook the rig and it seemed to anger its occupants. The men in the buggy quickened their horse’s pace and as they came abreast of Grzham one of them deliberately struck the latter across the face with a whip. It was an ugly cut and caused Graham to cry out with pain. FIGHTING BEGINS. He shouted to Oldfield to stop, but the motorist, anxious to avold trouble, paid no attention to the signal. But Graham was suffering intense paln and he cried out to Oldfield for ald and at the same time applied the brakes to the racing ma- chine. men in the rig came abreast of the auto party. They began to use foul and abus- ive language and threatened to wreck the two machines. Their threats angered Oldfield and Alex- ander, and seeing that the only way out of the difficuity was to fight, they climbed the buggy. The three men were just get- tng out and they attacked the auto- mobilists. It was Oldfield’s lot to be pitted against the largest of the three men, and he made a merry set-to for a few minutes. the street, punching him all the while, till the latter was nearly exhausted. CROWD DEMONSTRATIVE. Alexander in the meantime was having his hands full with the two remaining members of the buggy party. He shouted to Oldfield for ald and Oldfield responded. With a hard punch he laid out one of the roughs, and a second later Alexander fin- ighed the other.

HERRMANN HOLDS |SEAMAN FIGHTS | MURDER IS DONE ALL I3 CUNNING| BAND OF THUG| BY UNKNOWN MAN Wizard Fools All of the People Most of the Time. U T Biograph Pictures of Motor Races Please Audience at Orpheum. L A The man behind me shed a cynical “Marvelous!" after each of Herrmann's tricks last night. The gentleman evident- ly felt that he had to say something. Like the rest of us, however, he kept his mouth open while Herrmann burned up a charming damsel in a paper torture chamber, and so on. But “she’’—as Billy Van would say—was with him, and you couldn’t expect him under the circum- | stances to acknowledge that he was fooled | by a mere magician. i Herrmann the Great, however, succeeds in fooling all of the people most of the time. That they enjoy it was evident from the good house that turned up at the California last night. There is some- thing delightful in these strenuous days in seeing a man pick dollars from the alr, hook live fish from the carpet, ex- tract a rabbit from a handful of paper shavings. Most of these stunts, of course, have been done before, as well as the wizard palming and sleight-of-hand, in | which Herrmann excels. But there 1s much new, and the rest—in spite of the first great Herrmann's wife's naively ex- pressed opinion of her nephew's work—is all_good. Chief among the new illusions is the “levitation” of the Princess Mahomeda. Even the man behind gave it up. So | did 1. The orientally named lady enters | on a stage prepared for her reception with | & black screen against which is placed a | small couch. The wizard walks around | this, then places the princess upon it. She lies down. Then, with ‘the usual hocus-pocus of passes, the wizard lifts his wand and the lady Jifts with it. Grad- ually she rises to a height of perhaps three feet from the couch, suspended ap- parently in air. The wizard walks around her agaln, his figure seen plainly between her and the screen. Then, as climax, Herrmann takes a common wooden hoop and encircles the princess with it pass- ing it from her head to her feet, appar- ently completely demonstrating that there is no support for the suspended figure. The lilusion is quite the best of its kind seen here. Another almost as good is where a figure is made to dis- appear through a mirror. All the chil- dren should see the show, that goes only for the week. | ext Sunday evening “Sis Hopkins" ar- BLANCHE PARTINGTON. o RN There was the usual jam at the Or- pheum last night. Those who composed the crowd were not disappointed at the show. Not only the holdovers, but the im:w features on the programme pleased the audience immensely and were award- | ed by the true old Orpheum stamping and | hand-claps. Truth is that the holdovers were better than the new speclalties and | deserve to be held over for a good week more at least.

Succeeds, Single Handed, in Routing Four Daring Bay Pirates. Knud Nelson, a seaman on board the schooner Stofen, Iying in the stream at the foot of Third street, had a fight with a gang of bay pirates last night. The thugs were engaged In robbing the schooner Champion, which was lying alongside the Stofen, when Nelson ob- served them. He succeeded in driving them away single-handed, but received ar ugly gash in the right arm from a knife | wielded by one of the gans. Nelson was standing on the deck of the Stofen when he observed four men row- ing over to the Champion. No one was aboard the boat at the time, and when the pirates made for the captain's cabin | Nelson's suspicions were aroused. He | quickly climbed aboard the Champlon and caught the band in the act of ransacking the captain’s cabin. He jumped into the midst of the pirates and began to use his fists with telling effect. Finally one of the thugs pulled a knife and cut Nel- son on the arm. The seaman kept on fighting, however, and managed to rout the band. Nelson reported the matter to the Har- bor police station and detectives were at once detailed on the case. The brave sea- man was then taken to the Harbor Hos- pital, where an ugiy wound on his right arm was dressed. —_——— — A Beautiful Thanksgiving Display.

The crime was committed at the corner of Green and Kearny streets, and there is no clew as to its perpetrator. Migalo was shot in the forehead, toppled to the street and died Instantly. Three witnesses are de~‘ tained by Detectives Ed O'Dea and George | Mulcahy, who have the case in charge. The witnesses clalm to have seen people running from the scene of the crime and two of them implicate a woman. M. Baldocche, who runs a fruit standat the corner of Union street and Montgom- ery avenue, was first to notify Policeman Mattherson of the crime. He refused to give his name and was taken to the Hall of Justice. When questioned he said that he was standing at the corner of San Antonio place and Vallejo street when he saw a man rush out of the first- named thoroughfare from Green street and continue In the direction of Dupont. Baldocche then became reticent and the police are positive that he knows a great deal more of the case than he is willing to tell. The other two witnesses—Gaston de Renzey, a shoemaker at 1351 Bush street, and James de Felichi, a’powder-maker from Berkeley—say they were standing about half a block from the corner when they heard the shot. Turning, they say they saw a woman rush along Kearny | street in the direction of the bay and a | man come down Green street !owa!‘di them, but on the other side of the street. | The man ran as far as Dupont street, | then turned and waslost to sight. The statement of these three persons was all | the detectives were able to secure last | night. To-day the investigation will be | continued. Why Migalo was killed is a perplexing question. He was a bootblack, about 40 | years of age, and lived with his 17-vear- 0ld son at 15 Reed place. He had been | in this country but two years, and had a | wite and four other children in Italy. He conducted a stand on Fourth street | and was always regarded as a peaceable man. His son states that he had no ene- mies and that he was a member of no | secret organizations. The boy was work- ing all day and does not know when his | father left home or where he went. Rob- | bery could not have been a motive, as a | purse and sack containing $68 were found | in his pockets and no effort had been | made to take them out. | The bullet struck Migalo in the fore- | head and came out the back of his head. | It ranged upward and there are pnwder‘ marks on the face showing that the shot was fired at close range. There is a dis-| position on the part of the Itallans to | keep the matter qulet and an air of | mystery is maintained by all who have been questioned. The police believe that the crime was deliberately planned and that the bootblack was lured to his death. There I8 another story current that the murder was the result of some trouble that occurred at the corner of Dupont and Green streets a short time before the shooting and that four men were seen following Migalo to the scene of his death. ‘Witnesses, however, are lacking, but the investigation to-day probably will bring all the facts to light. —————— WOMAN IS CAUSE OF FREE FIGHT AT BALL Police Are Called In and Eight Par- ticipants Are Taken to Prison. There was a free fight at a Spanish ball in Apollo Hall, on Paclfic street, early yesterday morning and several arrests were made by Sergeant Donovan and Po- licemen Matheson and Davids. The cause of the disturbance was Julia Delgardo, a woman of the half world, lving in Hinckley alley. When the police reached the hall the woman was the center of a fighting mob of men who had bLeen battling with chalrs and anything else that came handy. Ra- mon Elorita, a marine fireman, living at 45 Sacramento street, had been stabbed in the back with a pocket knife and he was sent to the Harbor Emergency Hos- pital. The Delgardo woman and Frank Enos were arrested on a charge of vagrancy; Francisco Luarez, J. Gonzales, J. Campo, Michael Lieba, John Coach and Elorita were also arrested and a charge of dis- | turbing the peace was booked against them. R N S MR BOY FATALLY INJURED BY A POTATO WAGON John Tisconnio Is Knocked From Bicycle in Collision and Dies at St. Luke’s. John Tisconnio, 15 years of age, whose parents live at 4920 Mission street, died at St. Luke’s Hospital yesterday morn- ing from internal injuries and his body was removed to the Morgue by Deputy Coroner Meehan. The boy was riding a bicycle on the Mission road last Tuesday and when near Silver avenue was knocked down by a wagon laden with potatoes. The driver of the wagon did not take the trouble to stop and see whether the boy had been injured, but drove on. Young Tisconnio was picked up by a passing teamster and taken to St. Luke's Hospital, where he died yesterday morning. The police ascertained that the wagon belonged to Gus Lindauer, proprietor of livery stables on Howard street, and De- tectives Fitzgerald and Graham were de- tailed by Captain Martin to find the dri- ver and place him under arrest pending the result of the Coroner’s inquest. —_—————————— ‘Wedding cake boxes, wedding stationery.
