BOY WOUNDS ICIOUS TRAMP: Shasta Youngster Empties a Shotgun Into a Desperate Stranger to Prevent Murder Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, Dec. l4.—James Henry Coleman, the thirteen-year-old son of J. H. Coleman, shot at and wounded a tramp yesterday morning. The tramp threatened Charles Coleman’s life and was chasing that boy with a hatchet when James Henry fired both barrels of a No. 10 shotgun into the miscreant’s legs, stopping his headlong rush and bloodthirsty designs on the older broth- The tramp fell to the ground and the boys held him covered with guns. ! He finally crawled away and has not | been seen since. The elder boy had gone to a brick- vard to repair a fence. As he arrived| at 2 cabin on the premises a large and vigorous tramp stepped to the door and with curses asked what he wanted. The boy informed the intruder that he | must leave the cabin. Then tke tramp grabbed a hatchet and started for the youngster, The boy ran toward the| brick pile where his younger brother | was seated with his shotgun across his knees. James Henry was equal to the oc- casion. He jumped to his feet and cov- | ering the tramp called out to him to| stop. The tramp did not heed lhe; warning so James lowered his gun and fired both barrels. The boys had taken | theiriguns for the purpose of hunting | ducks after they had finished the re- pair work on the fence. ———— e A Kansas Verdict. The Kansas juries have been taking | the humorous papers seriously about | mothers-in-law. In Atchison a young | wife alleged extreme cruelty against her husband because he had main- | tained her and his mother in the same | | establishment. = As her-complaint-re- | lated: “Well knowing, owing to the | peculiarities. of his mother, it would be impossible for the plaintiff to live in the same house with her, with any- { thing like peace and comfort, he in- sisted on bringing his mother to live | with them shortly after moving into their own home, and did so over the protest and objection of the plaintiff; that his mother at once assumed ab- solute domination, gave directions to servants, took control of domestic af- fairs and commenced a series of per- secutions of the plaintiff, with the re- sult that oh June 21 she fell danger- | ously iil from nervous prostration and for a long time remained at death's door.” She got her verdict.

E. Shaw Downs Miss Betty o — Even the threatening weatner and al very moderate card did not deter a large crowd from attending the upen-| ing of Ingleside track yesterday. Oak- ! land track has its advantages, perhaps, | but after all there is no place !ike home, and Ingleside, picturesquely nestled as | it is between the hills and almost with- | in sound of the breakers, is pleasing to | the eye and popular with the masses. | The light downpour of rain had left| the track a trifle heavy, but it could scarcely be termed a muddy one. That | is how some of the “dope” students ! were fooled. Moving from one track to another always causes a paucity of entries, and the platers had an lnningv. Despite the lack of class three favorites | earned brackets. Both Telephone and El Piloto were | passed around as sure winners for the opening seven-furlong selling event.

Bill Waldo made all| collared the final fifty yards and beaten by Effervescence, the second choice. Birkenruth rode a very strong finish on the winner. After repeated failures Achilles al[ last annexed a purse. The brown St.| Carlo horse was one of ten starters in the mile and seventy yard selling num- | ber and as good as 12 to 1 could be ob- tained about him. The track appeared just to his liking, for with Jed Lewis up he went to the front and was never headed. 1 O U took the place, four lengths ahead of Cougar. Pian, the favorite, miserably handled by Kunz, finished fourth. Sidney Bender's gelding, Leord Mel- bourne, looked the class of the starters in the second seven furlong seliing fix- ture and went to the post a pronounced favorite over Albermarle and Reeves. Oliphant handled the first choice to excellent advantage, and gradually overhauling Reeves in the run home, won easily. Reeves beat Diderct nearly three lengths for the place. Albermarle was left at the post. If Foley was given orders not to show up F. E. Shaw, favorite for the |six and a half furlong two-year-old he didn’t. Quite the contrary he nearly got him beaten.

Williams and Adam Andrew of the New California Jockey Club returned vesterday from Los Angeles, where they went upon the invitation of offi- cers of the Los Angeles Jockey Club. Referring to the fact that complete harmony will exist between the New California Jockey Club and the Ascot Park Association, Mr. Williams said: “Last May the Pacific Jockey Club «avas formed to have jurisdiction over racing this side of the Rocky Moun- tains. President Epes Randolph has been ill. and for that reason went to Arizona some time ago. John A, Muir, vice president, intended some to confer with the members of the Pacific Jockey Club, but was also suddenly taken ill. W. E. Dunne, a director of the Los Angeles Jockey Club, telegraphed me and an appoint- ment was made. He came up here and consulted with Mr. Andrew and my- self, and then upon his invitation we visited Los Angeles. The result of our visit was the election of John A. Muir and W. E. Dunne as members of the Pacific Jockey Club. The Ascot Park, the Seattle Racing Association and the New California Jockey Club are now under the jurisdiction and racing under the rules of the Pacific Jockey Club.” Jake Holtman replaced Dick Dwyer at the starting gate, meeting with his usual success. Dick will leave for Los Angeles the latter part of the week, where he is engaged to wield the barrier at Ascot Park.

C.,, Dec. 14.—With the arrival of H. M. S. Flora at Esquimalt, rydock this morning, a dramatic inci- dent in coanection with the stranding of the cruiser came to light, an inci- dent which does honor to the lieutenant engineer of the cruiser. ‘When tke Flora crashed upon the rocks at Village Point as a result of a mistake by the navigating lieuten- ant, who had mistaken the red spar buoy which marks the dangerous reef off Village Point for the three-pile bea- con which marks Base Flats upon the cpposite side of the channel, the lieuten- ant engineer was asleep in his room. He was awakened with the shock which followed the crash and, realizing the situation upon the instant as water poured in through the open scuttles and' deadlights, he rushed out in his night clothes. He was soon in the en- gine-room and swung the crank which closed the bulkheads. The inrush of water was thus stopped. The Flora is badly damaged. There are two holes thirty feet from the bow on the starboard side and the scraped sheathing and splintered woodwork right aleng from the bow to amidships. mostly on this side, to which she listed on the rocks, is suggestive of broken and dented plates beneath this cover- ing of wood and copper, although the survey work has not yet demonstrated the extent of the damage.

The court, while holding that Sloan's complaint was justified, pointed out that he had not showed that the course of the club caused him serious prejudice and lim- ited the damages to the expense of the | action. The case involved the jockey club’s sole control of the French turf administration. | ——— e New Orleans Race Winners. City results: Diaphanus second, Duncan third. Time, 1:04-1-5.

Even before the “garden city’ | any actual existence outside the inten tions of philanthropists, Cheitenha where next week the National Union of Women Workers holds its annual ference, is already in possession of th proud title. Its gardens, togecher with its schools, sufficiently justify the mot- to of the borough, “‘Salubritas et Eru ditio.” But its fame for health and fashion came from a deeper and a higher source than its gardens, to wit, its waters, patronized as they were by persons so lofty as George III and that royal exquisite, the prince regent. Be- tween 1790 and 1830 all the fashion and beauty of England gravitated to this spot, as any may learn in reading the novels of the first half of the nir teenth century. All this was to no small discomfiture of the London shop- | keepers, who complained that they heard of nothing but Cheltenham modes.

The profuse use of water spraying in mines has unfortunately assisted In the introduction of a most serious disease into collieries, viz.: “ankylostomaiasis,” which is at present mostly confined to Austrian, German and Hungarian mines, but has been discovered in some mines in Cornwall, and also in Austra- lia, where those suffering from the dis- ease are called “earth eaters.” Tha higher the temperature and the greater the point of saturation the more easily | is the parasite propagated, and there- | fore its favorite habitat is in the damp | ana badly ventilated places. The larvae can exist in any temperature above 43 degrees F., and have been found on the | higher parts of props and bars, but not near the floor. Fortunately, the first accounts are believed to have exagger- | ated the danger, and were incorrect in stating that.the infection could be car- ried through the air, but later investi- gations seem: to point out that it can only be taken in through the mouth, | and, therefore, clean hands and clean | water, when partaking of foods, are ihe principal safeguards.—Mines and Min- |erals. —_————————— [ Hither and Anon. i A person standing at one side and watching the entrance and exit of the | Corning stores is reminded strongly of !:\ beehive filled with a big swarm of bees.
