When Louis Ezell arose from his couch yesterday morning the first thing he did was to look in his left stocking to see if anybody had the handicap away from him. The tall, ministerial-looking owner recalled a dream that Christmas was here again and that W. R. Condon had made a cat-hop of the $1000 mile and a fur long handicap yesterday at Oakland. W. R. Condon with his 110 pounds made good by skimming through the adobe gravy, which was deep and juicy on the track, without drawing a long breath. Backed from 8 to § to 11 to 10, the bay horse touched only the high spots, Sais, which finished second, . at no time being able to extend him. Modicum lost the show to Captain Forsee. The card, an extremely fetching one, attracted a good attendance. and some first-class sport was witnessed. While only two public choices won, none of the purse getters escaped the talent. HOOLIGAN BEATS SALABLE. Del Fountain's good three-year-old Hooligan beat Salable the length of an oyster can for the last purse, there- by causing tremendous rejoicing in Hooligan was a good thing from Springville, and, opening at 10, his odds fell to 7. Many things contributed to the outsider’s victory. Sea Air, the favorite, tried to run out most of the way, and Knapp beat the | filly shamefully on the head. Mec- Bride did everything.from a pirouette to a head stand on the back of Salable, hoice. Then Lloyd Foun- tain appeared in his slide for life with Hooligan, and, dropping from ten feet above the center pole, nailed Salable a nose on the wire. It was an aston- ishing feat for a bitherto low-salaried artist. Educate proved a good repeater by coming back after her win of the pre- ceding day and downing a racy field in the introductory sprint. The mare had Davis in the saddle and, quoted at 3% to 1, won all the way. Sir Preston, which opened favorite-and receded to three lengths Profitablé, the ahead of Hipponax. post. choice, ran fourth. PICKAWAY IS MADE FAVORITE. After a prolonged vacation Pickaway came out of retirement, to be Installed | favorite for the Futurity course num- ber, which followed. Possibly if Fort Wayne had not been a starter in the race the favorite might have scored. The outsider had a well defined dash of ‘early speed, and It did Pickaway no good trying to outrun him. As Davis | turned wide into the stretch with his mount Tommy Clark made a short cut with Sol Lichtenstein and in a driving finish earned the decision by half a * length. Dora I finished third. There was nothing to the five-furlong purse fixture but Misty's Pride. The books laid as good as even money about the Oregon mare and she breezed thome first. “Big Bill” Knapp, on Al- bert Fir, easily disposed of Tramotor for place honors. Davis went the over- | land route with Bell Reed. Somewhat erratic Major Tenny made his first appearance with the Multno- mah stable colors up in the mile and fifty yard run and came out of it with a pair of winning brackets. A hot tip sent Cincinnatus to the post favorite at 8 to 5, the newcomer being touted as a certainty. Anvil and Bard Burns were also well supported. Charley Bell, astride Major Tenny, shook off Bard Burns on the back stretch turn and nothing else got close enough to make him gallop. The favorite, hard ridden by Davis, beat Anvil several lengths for the place. TRACK NOTES. Dick Dwyer did some excellent work with the starting gate. Twenty-four books cut in. This ADVERTISEMENTS. niSORDER In the fall of 1895 I'contracted that fear- ful disease, Blood Poison. It gained such headway that I was forced to resign my position and seek relief at Hot Springs. After spending all themeans I Iwent to Memphis. In less than three weeks I was in a hospital, and after nine weeks of suffering I was disch: ascured. In less than a month every bone in my body seemed to be affected and feltu& they would break at the least exertion. i Again I was compelled to resign, and I returned to the hospital for a seven weeks stay. When I came out I was advised to try farming. When I first went on the farmT s:ni!ed on the only firm who handled 1gs to get me one n bottlesof S. S. S.

EXPERTS FIND BIC SHORTACE Former Mayor and Tax Col- lector of Santa Barbara Faces Criminal Accusation e e SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 2%.—Ed- muad M. Burke, former Mayor of Santa Barbara, and for four years Tax Collector of this county, was placed under arrest this afternoon charged with embezzlement, and to-night is awaiting the results of the efforts of his attorney to secure $5000 bonds fixed by Justice Peace, pending a preliminary examination. For the past ten days and nights a corps of experts has been examining the accounts of Burke, who resigned last December. When the change was made an jnspection of the accounts dis- closed a shortage of $1800, this shortage having been verified by the experts appointed by the District Attorney. Burke’s bondsmen made good, and to cover them valuable property was as- signed by Burke to them. It was sup- posed when the first shortage was dis- covered and met by the bondsmen and with the subsequent resighation of Burke the difficulties of the Tax Collec- tor had ended and the second alleged deficit came as a matter of:surprise. ———— DESIRE TO SEE BULL FIGHT ENDS BADLY FOR YOUNG MAN John Thompson, While Being Chased by a Policeman, Falls and Frac- tures His Skull. John Thompson, 21 years old, was fatally injured last night while at- tempting to gain entrance in the rear of Woodward's Pavilion to view the bull fight. While being chased by Po- liceman M. Murphy of the City Hall station Thompson tripped over a curb- ing and fell, striking his head on the asphalt of the street. The injured man was hurried to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Kucich discovered a fracture at the base of the skull. Several young boys say they heard that the policeman struck Thompson, knocking him down against the curb. A woman is said to have made this statement also, though no one could 3e :ound who actually saw the acci- ent. Poliéeman Murphy says he saw a gang of boys trying to open the rear door of the pavilion. He ran toward them, chasing Thompson. He says the man tripped over the curb and fell, striking his head. Murphy denies that he struck him. ¥ Thompson will probably die. He is the son of O. Thompson of 1326 Jes- sie street, an inspector employed by the United Railroads. \ SUES GAS COMPANY.—Leap & Morley yes- terday sued the San Francisco Gas Company for damages for all breach of con. tract to light the firm's of business, HELAND READY 10 STOP BOXING Will Put on the Gloves To- *Day for the Last Time in Training With Nelson FUN AT NEIL'S CAMP Young Corbett and Trainer McDonald Make Disap- ‘pointing Trip for Ducks Dick Hyland will do his last hard work with the gloves in training to- day at the Ocean Beach, when he will {have a friendly set-to with Battling { Nelson. The latter has a kindly feel- 5 ing for Hyland, who fights in the same (aggressive style as the man from | Hegewisch. Nelson s the boxing enthusisasts see only Neil in the coming fight and talk learnediy of his class. The Bat- tler says they saw only the class of Canole, Corbett and other victims of his prowess and that Hyland may rout { the followers of class in the coming | fight. Hyland boxed four fast rounds with big Dave Barry yesterday and three rounds with McCloud. The day was & quiet one at Frankie non’s villa near San Rafael. On Tues- day night Young Corbett, his brother, Jimmie Rothwell, Frank McDonald and Bill Richardson went duck shooting at | the San Rafael Duck Club preserve, about seventeen miles from camp. Con- sequently Frankie was left alone. He retired early, but was up at daylight yesterday and took a ten-mile jog. About 11 o'clock a rusty looking indi- vidual, driving a horse that had seen better days, approached the camp and yelled for something to eat. Billy Shannon was about to call a constable, but after the supposed tramp managed to scrape some of the mud from his face he was recognized as Young Cor- bett, and alone, footsore, and worst of all, hungry. and started to kid Corbett about the ducks. “Ducks!” exclaimed Corbett. “I'm ashamed to look a duck in the face.” He then told his troubles to Frankle, who winked at Shannon. When near the duck preserve one of the horses went lame, so the occupants had to wadg. through mire for nearly two miles. Jimmie Rothwell, in attempting to gain the club veranda, slipped fell overboard. Curtains for him for the rest of the night. was doing and didn't appear. The night was long and cold, as there was a scarcity of fuel. At last dawn approached and the weary hunters started for home. One of the horses was unable to travel, so Corbett mounted the other one and rode to the nearest livery stable at Novato and hired a cart and drove to San Rafae]. A rescue party was im- mediately dispatched to the scene and late in the afternoon the three would- be hunters reached camp. Nell took the afternoon off and came over to the Orpheum. He returned home in time for dinner. - Although the seats will not be placed on sale untll to-morrow, Manager Greggains has advance orders for $1000 worth of the pasteboards. is taken as an indication that a large crowd will witness the fight. IR Hawthorne Club Matchmaker Brings Together Good Material. Gloves will fly to-morrow night in Woodward’s Pavilion. Some of the best boxers of the city will battle be- fore the Hawthorne Club and specta- tors are promised some fast fighting. Seldom has an exhibition excited so much talk. It is the first show given by the club and every man who s on the programme is a veteran of the game and has won his laurels in the arena. There will be a lot of money wager- ed on the contest between Lew Powell and Bob Cairns. Powell held the light- weight championship until he allowed Young Choynski to come in over- weight and gain a decision ovér him. Lew now hopes to retrieve his lost laurels by handily beating Cairns and then forcing Choynski to come down to his weight. Cairns is one of the best boxers developed at the Olympic Club. He is a terrific puncher. He has met and defeated Mike Synfy, Wil- others and has a feeling that he can trim clever Lew Powell. ‘Willle Wolf has been beaten but once since starting his fighting career. He is a fast lad with his mitts and can take a drubbing. In Charley Dunne he will meet a dangerous oppo- nent. Dunne is developing in the .game and before long may turn pro- fessional. “Rough House” Billy Mc- Donald and Frank Mayfield should put up a rip-roaring bout. These two would rather fight than eat and are evenly matched in size, strength and ability to mix things. Eddie Kehoe and Harry Baker are also evenly matthed. Harry Tenny is the most dangerous amateur of his weight in the game td-day. In Frankie Edwards, however, he will meet a foe- man worthy of his steel. Edwards proved his ability when he beat Tommy West, the boy who was on the way to championship laurels. Pete Sullivan and Jim Keegan are to open the show. Sullivan is a new man in the game, but the easy way he disposed of Artie Granfield proved his success as a fighter. Eddie Smith of Oakland will referee the bouts. George Harting will hold the watch. o —————— SOLDIER SAYS HE WAS DRUGGED AND ROBBED Complains He Was Directed by Chance tance to Lodging- House Where Theft Took Place. ‘Willlam Spores, a soldier, who had just returned from the Philippines, wis discharged from the service last Monday. Spores got $103 from the paymaster and later met a civilian, whom he asked to recommend him to a decent lodging-house. The stranger took him to a_ lodging-house, where he went to bed. Yesterday morning the proprietor invited him to partake of some hot coffee. After he drank the coffee he was seized with cramps, which rendered him unconscious. When he came to he found that his purse, containing his money, had been taken from under his pillow. He went to the Emergency Hospital and placed himself under the care of Dr. Carl G. Wilson for treatment for poisoning. He can give no description of his new acquaintance.

Signal Is Given MRt e A | There were no ambulances waiting | outside Woodward’s Pavilion last | night to carry off the mangled pica- {dores and toreadores or the women | who were supposed to faint. The | bulls came near hurting themselves badly by sliding over the slippery floors, but luckily they had too much | | sense to try the trick often, so blood- | | shed on both sides was averted. | The bull fight game may go for the | impulsive Spanish multitude, but it's not spirited enough for the people of | San Francisco, who have been in the | habit of seeing men fight. Had it not been for Jack Johnson and his little | clown side play those present would be forced to admit that they were bunkoed. Johnson’s daring climb into the gallery was the bread winner and life saver of the night. The flodr of the pavilion was about | | half covered with tanbark and every | time the bulls tried to make a charge | they slipped and_ fell. It was impos- sible for the beasts to go more than a few feet at a time™M the meantime Senor Robles and his able corps of picadores were frantically waiving red rags and brown rags and rags of every | | size and hue at the bull, which winkea | |at the crowd and proceeded to stall. | FLOOR IS SLIPPERY. What might have happened with a | good floor is unsettled, but the bull | would undoubtedly have secured the | decision gver the senor and his pic- | |adores. None of them did anything that alarmed the crowd, save one man. in a barrel, who was game enough to let the bull play football with him for several minutes. After Senor Robles had piped a lit- tle song the first bull was turned loose. There was a snort and a kick and then the beast tried to charge. There was too much slippery floor in evi- dence and the best he did was to slip down and get up again. This was gone over a few times and then the senor caught the bull by the tail and horns and showed those present what he could do if it came to a pinch. | The first bull was voted a failure | by the multitude, but after the second | one had been in evidence a few min- utes they began to yell for number one again. The second wild beast was not there. He had no fighting blood in his veins and was looking for a getaway hole all the time. After the picadores and the senor had officed up to him for a few minutes bull num- ber one was brought forth again, but he was all in after his first trial and the show soon broke up. JOHNSON MAKES A HIT. During one of the intermissions Jack Johnson, the champion colored heavyweight boxer, expressed a desire to get into the middle of the ring and rid himself of some overflow elo- quence. Some one invited Jack to climb over from the balcony and he proceeded to follow out instructions. When his task was half completed a voice from the gallery -yelled, “Look out for the bull” Jack tried to get up agaln, but no one volunteered to {aid him and he hung for a minute in | midair, with his feet dangling and the |band playing “Good-By, Little Girl, Good-By."” | ~ Finally Jack climbed up in the gal- lery and came down the stairs. He| | was introduced and insisted on mak- | | ing a speech. Just as he had finished | saying “Ladies and gentlemen” Senor | Robles rushed up from behind, hold- |ing a red cloth and yelling like a real bull. Jack took the fence in a leap and cut the speech out. As a preliminary to the bull fight George Braun and Jack Ely wrestled. the former winning two falls out of three. ’ ey Prisoners Plead Gulity.

SHOOTS DOWN MAN 0N TRAIN Insurance Cashier Fatally Wounds Rival for Wife's Love on Chicago Elevated PR T CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Passengers on an eastbound Metropolitan elevated train were thrown into a panic last night when George H. Gould, cashier of an insurance company, shot and fatally wounded A. R. Hammond, a guard employed by the road. Hammond was off duty and was re- turning home. Gould boarded the train and entered the car where the guard was sitting. Witnesses to the shooting say he at once accused Hammond of allenating the affections of his wife, who, Gould said, left home, deserting her husband and three little children, a week ago. Words followed, and be- fore the train had reached the next station Gould drew a revolver and fired two shots. There were more than twenty pas- sengers In the car, and these persons fled to the other coaches of the train. The train crew telephoned to the police, asking for an ambulance to meet the train at the Marshfield-avenue sta- tion. They then hurried the wounded man to that station without making stops. Gould etayed in the car and sur- rendered himself to the police. Among the persons in the station at Marshfield avenue was Mrs. Gould, who said she was waiting for a friend, whose name she refused to divulge. When she saw Hammond being carried out of the station she started forward with a cry. Both she and her husband were locked up. Hammond was taken to a hospital, where it was said that he could not recover. One of the bul- lets took effect in his left side an inch below the heart and the other pene- trated his left wrist. Before her marriage Mrs. Gould was Mary L. Everts. Her relatives live in Fhode Island. o loss of confidence, Dr. McLaughlin’s Are you a middle-aged m: Indigestion, Constipation, Rh Free to Weak Men!
