SAN DIEGO, Sept. 17th.-The Indian
Jose del Carme, convicted of the MUIR
der of Johnson, near the Julian mines
four years ago, was executed yester-
| day i'm the court house yard. Com
mendable promptness and efficiency
were manifested by the officials. The
whole affair was begun and over be-
tween l:30 and 2 P. NJ. Del Carme
made a speech on the scafold, in which
he declared that his testimony in the
trial duplicating other Indians, was
all perjury, and declared also that he
| himself was innocent, etc. He began
to weaken toward the close of his
speech, and the sheriff touched the
spring as soon as he stopped talking.
He was a very muscular man, and the
motion of his body continued IA min
utes. There is no doubt of his guilt.
He was very bad Indian, and is be-
lieved to have been concerned in a
number of murders in the past or s
years.

The Handicap Race.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 17th.-Only two
started, viz: Theodore Winters Bal
lot Box, years old, by Norfolk, and
G. Thomas's bay mare, Irene Harding
by Jack Melone. This was a race
upon which the interest centered.
The betting men showed that they re-
tanned their confidence in Ballot Box,
inspired by the only race he had ever
run, and they backed him finely In
the pools at odds of one hundred to
sixty. Harding tried the inside posi-
ton. A very fair start was made on
The first trial, Harding Immediately
rushed to the front and on rounding
the first turn was length ahead. Bal
lot Box was then stirred up and at the
quarter the mare was only neck and
shoulder ahead. Ballot Box contin-
ued to gain and at a half mile the
horses were running neck and neck.
Around the turn Harding had fallen
away again, but at at the end of the
mile, which was made in 1:46, she was
again short length ahead and the RI
der of Ballot Box was plying the whip.
| Around the turn the l.iare ran steadily
and increased her lead. At the quar-
ter she was length and half ahead,
and was being pulled back to rest her,
| while the spectators had concluded
that Ballot Box had no chance of WIN
ming the race. He improved his pace
however, around fourth turn and when
they were coming in on the home
stretch he was but q short length
ahead, but he continued to gain and
the rider of Harding was forced to ply
the whip and spur vigorously. The
game son of Norfolk came up gallant
ly but the mare had too much lead
and speed for him to win and Harding
passed under the wire neck and shout
ders ahead of him. Time, 3:39}
The third race was for trotters, mile
heats, 3 in for special purse of $500.
The entries were VIM. Trunant's bay
gelding, Jim Farrell; Don Denni-
sons, S. M. Clark; l.. G.. Roses

Pritchard's sorrel gelding, Teddy Nc

Clark $47l, and field 421. The placing
was as follows: Sorrel Ned 1st, Tony
Gates I'd, Teddy McGee Sd, Sorrel 4th,
