Applegate in the fifth, for which Pescadera opened favorite, and after being supplanted in favoritism by Wool Sandals was again made favorite at post time. Williams was on the Applegate colt and Miller on Pescadera. The latter, away well, opened four lengths at the half-mile pole, but then stopped to a walk and finished far back in the ruck. Wool Sandals had only to gallop to win by five lengths from Mechant. Kogo was a distant third. The winner was played down from 5 to 1 to 8 to 5. “Boots” Durnell attempted a killing with Neptunus in the last race of the day and, playing his horse all over the ring, forced his odds down, while Avonalis, opening at about the same price, kept receding, as did all the others in the race. Durnell's appren- tice boy Thurston ~ot Neptunus away well, but used him S0 excessively in opening up five lengths on his field in the first half mile that the horse had nothing left to finish with, and Baker, | one of the outsiders in the betting, coming strong in the stretch after hav- ing avoided the early pace, ran over Purnell’s horse in the final 100 yards. Thurston’s efforts to win when Baker ranged alongside were almost ludi- crous, and if he had sat still the horse would have done better than he was able to with the green jockey flounder- ing about on his back.

Fifth race—El Chihuahua, The Only Way, Yellowstone. Sixth race—Captain Burnett, Anvil, Inflammable. LR e i The Fallen Leaf handicap, over the futurity course, the feature of the card at Emeryville today, will be contested by a small but classy fleld. The en- tries include Tony Faust, F, W. Barr, Collector Jessup and Lisaro. The ad- justment of the weights renders the picking of the probable winner a dif- ficult proposition. Tony Faust, Sam Hildreth’s crack colt, has been doing everything that has been asked of him and may add further to his laurels by winning. He would probably prefer a longer route, but can be depended upon to be right there even At the distance. Collector Jessup is in rare form and is the most likely looking contender. The distance will exactly suit him. F. W. Barr has been widely touted as a grand racehorse, but his last effort was disappointing. He may do better today. Lisaro’'s defeat of Shot Gun his last aut %ivea him a chance. Miller will probably be up on Tony Faust, Graham on ¥. W. Barr, Brown on Collector Jessup and Wil- liams on Lisaro. It will be a horse race, sure. There will be a number other in- teresting contests on the card, as well. | Twelve selling platers will run six furlongs in the opener. Hersian looks |a trifle the best and her chances will | be improved if Miller has the mount, |as seems probable. Marie H and Sea |Lad look like contenders. San Remo, iMlss May Bowdish, Sharp Boy and Joe | Goss have outside chances. | Cheers looms up as the probable win- | ner of the second, at seven furlongs, for two-year-olds. La Rose has been | running good races and promises to be | right there at the finish. Bushthorpe {may prove a factor. Johnny Lyons | would have a chance with a good boy, S | but the exercise bey who will be up/| can do in the | saddle. The third will be a selling race over | the futuritf course. That consistent | performer, Lord Nelson, may ‘add an- other bracket to his already lengthy | | string of victories. Banposal is a dan- | gerous contender in view of her d |feat of Sir Russell and St. Francis. | Silver Sue also demands consideration. Beechwood and Santa Ray have out- side chances, Kumiss was a fair per- former on the northern circuit, but has shown nothing here. The fifth is an open looking affair. Twelve selling platers are to go a mile. El Chthuahua won his. last race in a gallop and may repeat. The Only Way had speed his last out and ‘may be expected to improve. Cheripe, Pa; chuca and Yellowstone have outsi chances. 3 Captain Burnett, Anvil and Inflam- mable figure to finish close together in the final event of the day.

MOB N COLORADD HANGS MURDERER PUEBLO, Colo., Dec. 27.—A special to the Chieftain from Las Animas, Colo., |says: -‘Lawrence Leberg was lynched | here tonight by a mob of masked men | for the murder of Henry Lavenmeyer. About forty men entered the jail short- ly before 9 o'clock and easily over- powered the Sheriff, Under Sheriff and two other officers and locked them se- | curely in a room. The men then went | | to the cell occupied by Leberg, struck | the shackles from his limbs and took him from the jail. A larger body of men and boys was waiting outside the walls, and when the prisoner and his captors appeared they formed a pro- cession, proceeded a short distance and hanged Leberg to a telegraph pole. The murderer made no resistance and made no statement. The mob offered no violence and noe<shots were fired during the entire affair. Before the mob reached the jail Le- berg heard it coming and awaited coolly the coming of the avengers of Lavenmeyer's death. The leader of the mob made no effort to disguise him- self, and it is declared that the ring- leaders are known to the jail officials. e e SECRETARY SHAW LIMITS BOND COMPANY INDEMNITIES little more than stay Government Will Not Accept Amou Exceeding Ten Per Cent of the Resources WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Secretary Shaw has issued a circular in which he declares that hereafter no surety company shall be accepted under the provision of the act of Congress ap- proved August 13, 1894, as sole surety on any stipulation or bond in which the United States is interested for any amount greater than 10 per cent of its paid-up capital and surplus unless such company shall be secured as to any ex- cess by reinsurance.

D. Purdy, Assitsant United States Attor- ney General, accompanied by Major Augustus P. Blocksom of the inspector general's department and W. W.

Referee Jack Welsh found Joe Gans and Kid Herman a tractable pair of fighters yesterday, according to the dispatches, when he visited their train- ing quarters to talk over the rules which will govern their meeting in the ring at Tonopah on New Year's day, ‘Welsh should prove an ideal referee, as he is active and will let the men fight so long as they do not resort to foul tactics. As neither man has ever been guilty In the past of rough methods, no fear s expressed that there will be any iInfractions of the rules on this occasion. Welsh judges men on their fighting ability, and as this is to be a struggle to the finish he should be in his element. Tonopah is filling up rapidly with men from the neighboring mining camps, and a,large attendance is as- sured. The training camps of the rival lightweights were thronged with visitors yesterday, and the fighters went through their regular routine for them. Both boxers plan to do no more boxing after today, as they will take no chances of injuring their hands. As both are at weight they can indulge themselves with a rest for the two days preceding the fight. This means much to them, as they will store up vitality which will serve them in good stead in_the ring, especially if the fight goes the limit. ‘The experts are not predicting bout lasts a long time. The conditions are all in favor of Gans, who has a faculty of resting up occasionally and letting the other man do the fighting. He showed his skill in that kind of work when he held his own with Nel- son at a time when many of the spec- -tators thought he would collapse. o e e The farce comedy which has been presented to the followers of boxing in this city for some time since reached its closing scene yesterday when the proposed match between Willie Fitz- | gerald and Cyclone , Thompson was called off by Manager Jim Coffroth, | who has been acting in the matter for | his amiable associates. The final trouble came from an unexpected quarter, as Fitzgerald was the man to balk at the arrangements. Over Rules Governing Fight which man will show the best if the|* With Referee - OPTIMISTIC ~ VIEW Fitzgerald made up his mind yester- day that he had traveled from the Easty expressly to fight Jimmy Britt and that | he would not meet any other boxer.| The promoters think he took this view | of the situation after some of his| friends talked him Lnto believing that | the substitute match with Thompson both men are known to be fighters of the bustling order, and a sensational | contest would undoubtedly have re- sulttd had they met. There was some talk of trying to get Hyland to meet Thompson, but as the former is in Denver this was aban- doned. The promoters had enough ex- perience trying to make a match over the wires for the past three weeks to| last them a long time. They paid the fares of Fitzgerald and his wife from the East to this city and return. They did the same for Thompson and his| manager, Rawhide Kelly, from ©Ogden. The members of the trust were prom- 1sed a special sanction for this fight in view of the expense to which they had gone, but they will not need it. The promoter who wants to run a show in January will be compelled to put up $1200 for the license for the year. In view of the uncertain conditions pre- vailing there is mueh curiosity to see who will be game enough to tak: the initiative. s s . The Vallejo promoters are trying to bring about a meeting between Tim Callahan and Fred Landers in a.twen- 11 Callahan, who can fight at 124 pounds, is willing to make the weight 135 pounds, so that Landers can have no excuse on that score. Callahan has done everything possible to get a match here, but the majority of the men who are within striking distance of his weight have been dodging a meeting in the ring with him. His cleverness and his hitting power make him a for- midable opponent. . . . Jack O’Brien will go to Tonopah to witness the fight for the lightweight championship, and probably will find time to talk business with some of the numerous promoters who will be on the scene. - Jimmy Britt is also expected to be present at the ringside to chal- lenge the winner. Tex Rickard will attend the fight and will then come on to this city to transact some business in connection with the pictures of the Gans-Nelson battle. HOME PURGHASING SGHEME BARRED BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 27.—A pe- tition was filed in the City Court here today for an interlocutory injunction restraining the Standard Trust Com- pany, a Delaware corporation, from doing business in Alabama. The pe- titioners seek a receiver and charge the company with irregular business methods. It is set forth that it has a capital stock of $500,000 and does business in Alabama, South lCarolhu. Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Virginia, Flor- ida, Texas and Connecticut, and that a contract called “an investment homo purchasing contract” is issued to an applicant on the payment of $6 on de- livery and $6 a month for six months, when he will be eligible to a loan of $1000 to start purchasing a home. The petitioners aver that the method of issuing the home purchasing con- tracts Involved elements of a lottery, and that the scheme is unlawful and void. ——— BIG INCREASE OF BUSINESS AT THE UNION STOCKYARDS Valuation M_tle Cattle Handled Dur- ing the Year Is the Largest on X in Chicago jpresent theatrical season. b STORMS CONTINUE CHICAGO, Dec. 27.—Figures on the business transacted at the Union stockyards for 1906 show the valua- tion of livestock handled to be the largest on record.
