steed Rutherford, offers to run his
horse against Springbok, four miles
and repeat, for so, 600 or $50, 1000 side.
The owner of Springbok has not yet
been heard from in response to the
challenge.
Chas. Andrews, from Los Angeles,
arrived at the city prison to-day in
| time for his Thanksgiving dinner. He
was on his way to San Quentin to
serve u sentence of three years for
grand larceny.
Thanksgiving is generally observed
Business of all kinds is suspended.
The day is cloudy and threatening.
Fat turkeys are in demand.
The Investigation of the Pacific dis
aster was commenced in this city by
Capt. Waterman and Mr.. Hillman.
The owners of the Pacific are repre-
sented to have entered protest
against the privacy of the proceedings
and express adesire to have the exam
ination conducted with open doors.
Officers Doullet and McDonough this
forenoon arrested another of the hood
lum gang engaged in the assault on
Mrs. Higney, on Jessie street, last
i
the name of James Michael COtfey,
and he has been fully identified by
the prosecuting witness as one of the
guilty ruflians. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the hoodlum fired upon
by the police while making his escape
over the roof was Timothy Foy, boy
of Patrick Foy,who is now in custody.
Timothy received two pistol shots in
the leg, and he is now secreted in one
OF the slums of Tar Flat by sympa-
thizing friends. The father of this
pair, though entirely responsible to
God and man for degrading humanity
by the cultivation of such specimens,
declares his adherence of the crimes
they have committed and his entire
willingness to give them over to the
retribution they have earned. He de-
MES any knowledge of the wherea-
bouts of the wounded Timothy. In
view of the defense attempted on be-
half of the prisoners, ample testimony
will be produced by the prosecution
tomorrow going to sustain the good
reputation of the victim of the outrage,
and refute the imputation made that
her conduct invited the assault.
The depression of spiritsamong turf
men caused by the wet weather and
the postponement of the running race
seems likely to be removed by the ac-
tion of E. J. Baldwin, owner of Ruth
errord. He offers to run his horse
against Springbok for $4,000 or $780,
600 side, four miles and repeat, with
in thirty days if the offer is accepted
within ten days, with half forfeit.
At q meeting of the Executive Com
mlttee of the Pacific Jockey Club yes
terday morning the $4,000 race was
postponed until Christmas day. and
all pools declared off. Even if the
condition of the track permitted the
race could not be run for three or four
weeks, owing to the flyers being down
with the epizootic. Springbok and
Wild Idyl are each suffering from a
slight attack, and the only racer en-
Baldwin's Rutherford. The action of
the committee in declaring the pools
off relieves from blockade about $780,
600 in gold coin.
Tuesday night a burglar attempted
to gain entrance to Mrs. Amanda Ar
nold's fancy goods store, No. 400 Polk
street, by climbing through the rear
window. Mr.. Arnold was awakened
and surveyed the fellow, while he was
subjected to closer surveillance by the
eyes of police officer who was on the
outside, and clutched at the man, as he
had gone far enough in through the
window to make his offence crime,
but he eluded the grasp and skinned
gracefully over a row of Outhouses until
lie was brought to halt by q high
wall. The officer was in close pursuit
at the time and when he came up with
his man he put out his hand to catch
him, when the fellow struck out and
planted his fists between the officers
eyes, prostrating him on the ground,
after which he escaped. He was fol-
lowed by two other officers, who fired
number of shots at him without ef-
feet.
The great number Of old half dollar
pieces now in circulation in the city
has become the subject of comment by
those who handle a good deal of silver.
The pieces generally bear dates rang
ing from 1926 to 1885, and some of
them are dated as early as 1903.
Michael Harmon, employed on the
steamship City of Peking, yesterday
fell some thirty feet, striking OH his
head and shoulders. Providentially be
was not instantly killed. He was con-
veyed to his home, wlen it was ascer-
tanned he had sustained severe internal
injuries. His wife and five children
are dependent upon his daily labor for
support.
The rain gauge OF Thomas Tennent
records fall of 2l-l00 of an inch dur
ing the twenty-four hours ending at s
A. NJ, making 5 34-100 inches thus far

A few days since large schooner
was reported capsized off the Columbia
river, 1t has since drifted ashore and
proves TO be the new schooner Sun
shine, which sailed from this port for
Coos Bay on the Sd inst. under COM
mand of Capt. BE met. The disaster
was probably caused by the vessel
being struck by heavy Southwest
squall, which capsized her instantly,
not giving the crew time to take in
sail. 1t is reported she sailed from
this port with thirty passengers and a
crew of ten men. 1t is supposed all
were drowned. No information has
been received announcing the safety
of any of the number. Captain Ben
nett did not wish to take any passen-
gers, but they prevailed on him to let
them go.
