Jan. 24.—Sight of her divorced husband caused Adelia C. Zahler of Los Angeles to go violently | insane in the railroad depot in this city | | to-day. The woman was traveling | from Provo, Utah, to Los Angeles, ac-[ companied by her daughter, Mrs. J. S. Roli. At the depot in Salt Lake Lars Peterson, her divorced husband, ap- peared and sought an interview with his former wife. She declined to see him, but he entered the car. When Mrs. Zahler caught sight of him she turned pale, shrieked loudly and other- wise manifested violent emotion. Peterson hurriedly left and Mrs. Roll tried to quiet her mother. The unfor- | tunate woman became more violent, however, and when Ogden was reached she was placed in a padded cell. —_—————— BARK GOES ASHORE ON ENGLISH COAST Marlborough Hill, Bc-nd From San Francisco for Leith, Is Stranded Near Bridlington.

FOR PAL) 4LT0 Defaults to Ragtime in Decid- ing Course at Union Park After Beating Bill Dugan AR il MANY SHORTENDERS WIN —_— Largest Attendance in Months Is on Hand to Witness the Close and Execiting Trials Ragtime, P. J. Horgan's game grey- hound, carried off all the glory yester- day afternoon at Union Coursing Park. The open stake went to him by default, as Palo Alto was withdrawn at the last moment, having exhausted his strength in a whirlwind course against Bill Du- gan in the sixth round. The day was an ideal one for the sport and the largest crown in many months was at hand to watch ‘em run. Betting was lively and the shortenders were there with many courses, the up- sets coming at short intervals and tak- ing the wise ones completely by sur- prise. Ragtime had an easy time of it down to the deciding course. He beat Mc- Henry’s Cubanola, Miss Green, Adver- tiser and Fair Tralee by default. Strange as it may seem, he was always led by the opposing dog, and on several occasions he seemed out of the running, yet he always came through strongly at the finish and won out by many points. Bill Dugan was the reverse. He led Palo Alto for a fare ye well in the sixth round and all but won out, but his famous opponent made up for lost time near the finish and made away with the glory.

B — DOG SHOW CLU WANT NEW ADVISORY BOARD Extend Final Opportunity to American Kennel Club to Regain Former Members. SEATTLE, Wash.,, Jan. 24. — At a conference of Pacific Kennel League delegates, held in this city to-day ,and participated in by representatives of every show-giving club on the Pacific Coast, save the San Francisco Kennel Club, the American Kennel Club, from which the league seceded seven years 2go, was extended a final opportunity to grant self-government to Western clubs as a condition precedent to their return to that organization. Delegates representing the Vietoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, California Collie, Old English Sheep Dog, Pacific Collie and Santa Clara County Kennel clubs were present. The demands of the league formu- lated to-day in substance contemplate self-government in all essential par- ticulars, through the medium of a Pa- cific advisory board, which the Ameri- can Kennel Club now maintains on this coast, but ‘which, it is claimed, is a mere figurehead, with no authority to modify existing rules to conform' to Pacific Coast conditions. The delegates express slight hope that the New York club will grant the /concessions de- manded.

SALT LAKE, Jan, 24.—A diary writ- ten by Brigham Young, the great Mor- mon leader and pioneer, has just been | discovered. It was written in 1857 and | breathes the bitter spirit of the Mor- mons of that day toward the Govern- ment of the United States. The docu- ment has been compared with other | samples of the first president's hand- | writing, and its authenticity cannot be | questioned. Some extracts are ap- pended: July 12—1 wish to avoid hostilities with the United States, but before I will see this people suffer ae they have done I will draw my cword in the name of Israel's Ged and permit the bones of myself and my family to bleach with those of my brethren and sisters on the mountaine and say to my brethren, “'Let our ewords fall upon our enemiis.” July °4—1 said if General Harpey came wld know the intention of the Gov- ernment; and it was carried unanimously that it Harney crossed the South Paes th> buzzards | shouid piek his bones. The feeling of mob- ocracy is rife in the States and the constant cry is 11 the Mormons.” Let them try it. | From Brother,Lewis' report the United States really seem determined to make an eruption With us, Well, they must abide the conse- quences, When 1 cptered the valley, ten | vears ago, 1 said: “If the devil will Jet us | alone for ten years we will defy them. I feel the same way now. I defy all the powers of darkness.” The diary tells of placing the Ter- ritory under martial law by Young's proclamation, which we are told was received with approval. A note by Young's secretary read: May 27—President Youns hcard the letters brought in by last California mail read, went upstairs and sealed some women to Brothers 3.°C. Wright and Nicholas of Box Eider. The rest of the diary is in the hand- writing of Young, including this: July 8-One of O. Pratt's wives called at Tithing office and rehearsed to me her many wrongs by Sarah, his first wife. I told her either to leav> Orson or stop talking about it and spent some time In conversation on the Prineiples of Orson’s philosophy. Many are in- correct. The diary covers the period from May 27 to September 3 185 CAUSE OF GENERAL JIMINEZ IS HOPELESS event of the American Kennel Club re- jecting the demands made upon it, all Northwestern clubs combine to aid the California members of the league, both with entries and, if need be, with money, to the en dthat it may success- fully combat with the American Kennel Club in that State. The mattér of the establishment of a studbook for the registration of Pacific Coast animals was discussed, but action was deferred in deference to the wishes of the California clubs who de- sire to investigate the advisability of this step before casting their votes in favor of the move. —_————— Do You Play Poker?

N 5 {'8core in Griffin's favor was 6—4 Victorious in the Handicap Doubles - on - Public Grounds —_—— . The tennis players took advantage of the warm weather yesterday and the courts were crowded from morning un- til night. The feature on the California Club courts was the match between Clarence Griffin of the Golden Gate Clitb and Herbert Schmidt of the Cali- fornia Ciub. The clever little player from the park took the club man into camp, winning three sets out of four. Griffin played a good game throughout, but his oppo- nent was decidedly off in @ s game. His net work was poor and in the back court he played his old-time careless game. The first two sets were close and interesting, but t:. last two were one-sided. Schmidt played well in the second set, the one he won, but was outplayed in the other three. A returz match will be played on the park coutts. The 6—2, . The handicap doubles tournament commenced three weeks agé on the public courts was completed yesterday. A. Brabant and H. Palmer. two new. comers at the park, carried off the honors. They beat Horace Mann and G. W. Firich in the finals, which were close. The losers received the trifling handicap of “1-6,”swhich cut no figure intthe outcome. Brabant and Palmer won three sets out of four. J. A. Colé’ and Norman Ambrose reached the semi-finals in thes upper half and Harold ‘Grabriel and Robert Drolla in the lower. The latter made an excellent showing considering they were allowed but “1-6” in each of their matches. Code and Ambrose received “1-6” from the Hotchkiss brothers and won.. The winners were beaten in straight sets by Brabant and Palmer, ‘who-gave odds of “1-6.” The winners play an awkward game, but it proved effective. Palmer plays entirely on the back court and his great reach enables him to get nearly everything. The tour- nament matches resulted as follows: Code and Ambrose (1-6) beat the Hotchki brothers, ¢-3, 6-4. Gabriel d_ Droll a beat Bates and Finnegan, bant and Palmer beat Code 6-3; 7-5; Finch and Mann beat Gabriel and Drolla (1-6), 7-5, 8-6; Brabant and Palmer beat Mann and Finch (1-6), £-2, 5-7, 7-5, 6-3. Many good practice matches were played on the California Club courts. Frank Stringham and Sidney Salisbury surprised everybody by beating Drum- mond MacGavin and Frank Mitchell three sets out of five. Joseph Tobin was in good form. He played tie games with W. 8. MacGavin and with Grant Smith. Tobin is play- ing a better game than ever before. Ray Cornell is improving rapidly and in future will be a hard man for second class players to beat. e won three i sets from Harry Rolfe with ease. Rolfe redeemed himself by beating Norman Ambrose of the Golden Gate Club two sets out of three. , G. W. Burnett and Gus Lisser played the longest match of the day, being on the courts for three or four hours. The final set was 15—13. The following matches were played: L. C. Bozarth and G.

The contest was watched by several hundred spec- | tators and was the most interesting, that has taken place during the present season. In the first period the Thistles. play- | ing with the sun in their faces. had the best of the game, repeatedly putt- | ing the Vampiré goal in danger. Near | the end of the first half the Thistles | scored a goal, Airth saving at first. but the ball rebounding off Lyndon and going into the net. In the second ‘half the Vampires played a faster game and kept the ball | in the Thistles’ territory a good part of the time. At last Lees centered the ball and Wilding put it through. The score was tied and the Vampire sup- porters - were wildly enthusiastic. Neither side scored again and the match ended in a tie. The team work of the Thistles was, as usual, excel- lent and every man in the eleven played well. The Vampires worked hard, Petersen rendering the greatest service at back. Harwood being con- spicuous in_ the half-back line and Showell and Buchly on” the forward | line. The result of the match makes | it almost certain that the Thistles will win the championship of the Califor- nia League this season.

CRAND VIZIER Persian Shah’s Son-in-Law Suceeeds to Post Formerly Held by Ali Asghar Khan L AN TEHERAN, Persia, Jan. 24.—Prince Ain ed Daouleh, son-in-law of the | Shah, who hitherto has filled the posi- tion of Minister of the Interior, being also President of the Council of Min- isters, has been appointed Grand Vizier and Prime Minister of Persia. Prince Ain ed Daouleh succeeds as Grand Vizier of Persia Mirza Ali As- ghar Kahn, who arrived in San Fran- cisco from the Orient on Saturday on the steamship Korea. Ali Asghar Kahn hecame Grand Vizier in 1898 and held the position until September 15, 1903, when the ministry of Persia was reor- ganized and the office of Grand Vizier abolished. This move was made with the object of getting rid of Ali Asghar Khan and advancing the Shah's son-in- law to the high station. Ali Asghar Khan's eflorts to introduce Western civilization and extensive reforms into the Shah's domains had brought him into conflict with his soverign and the latter’s intimate advisers, Following his deposition the ex- Grand Vizier departed from Teheran for a two years' tour of the work, to in- clude a vilgrimage to Mecca. It was reported at the time that his leaving Persia meant practically exile, unless the Shah should at some later day re- consider his views as to European re- forms and recall his former Prime Min- | ister. ————— CHINESE GIRL TELLS OF ABDUCTOR'S CRUELTY Child Who Was Stolen in Salinas Is Restored to Her Mother by sAu’As. a Sherifl.

A number of in- quiries have been sent from here, but as yet no satisfactory explanation has been given. As the last pundes festi- val was held in Shell Mound Park and a substantial financial balance was turned over to the present committee, the riflemen here believe some informa- tion should be given them as to the nature of the intended programme.

Martin Edwards, a barber residing at 751 Mission street, relates a thrill- ing story of having been held up and robbed of $76 and then beaten into unconsciousness by three footpads on Natonta street last night. He claims to have lain in an unconscious cond tion for/ more than five hours. According to Edwards’ story he was walking along Natoma street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, about §:30 o'clock last night, when three men jumped out of a doorway and attacked him. After taking his purse, contain~ ing $76, Edwards says the footpads knocked him down and beat him into unconsciousness. He claims he recovered his senses shortly after midnight. He reported the affair to Officer Wilson the Southern station. Wilson had the man removed to the Emergency Hos- pital, where he was found to be suf- fering from several lacerated wounds on the head and face and his body bore marks of having been severely kicked. . —_—————— PERSONAL.
