CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-The publication here
of the arrest of Mrs. Miller and Mrs Field
in New ork, for bringing to this country
large amount of money alleged to be Che
proceeds of a swindling scheme worked by
their husbands in England, created much
interest here, where both men and their
wives were well-known. A gentleman ac-
quainied with them to-day said: Field Is
about "a years old. He came here thirty
years ago from New York State and went
into newspaper work, and was for a time
the editor of the Journal Finally he got
into the insurance business, at which he
continued number of years. He left here
a year ago and up to the publication of to-
days story nothing has been heard of him.

well. 1t is known, however, that he was
connected with the famous fund bucket
shop scheme the collapse of which few
years ago created such q stir. Miller'S wife
is a niece of Governor Yates of Illinois. No
details are at hand of the nature of the
alleged sWindlmg scheme in England.

Haas Wins the Medal.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 12.-The chief event
in yesterdays shooting matches, under
the auspices Of the State Sportsmen's
Association, was the conclusion of the con-
test for the Fay diamond medal. Haas of
Stockton and Henry Bassford of Vacaville
had tried in five matches to decide their ties
for it, but unsuccessfully. To-day each tied
on seventeen, but six birds remained and
they shot at three piece. Each killed the
first two. but Bassford's third fell dead on
the boundary line, but turned over from the
impetus Of the descent and lay with the tip
end of one tail feather on the line. OF
course it was scored as lost. Haas killed
his third and won the medal. HID the
match been shot, as the conditions prescribe,
under the Hurlingham instead Of American
rules, Bassford's bird would not have been
outside, as the boundary is wider. More
birds are expected and some postponed
matches will probably be shot off tomorrow.

George Lord and his two sons, William
and Frank, surrendered themselves at the
City Prison last night. thereby anticipating
arrest on charges Of grand larceny. The
father, who Is very respectable
old gentleman and resident OF
Grass Valley, stated to a CALL reporter
that on May 1St last he purchased half
interest in the Olympic Stables, on the cor
ner of Sutter and Powell streets, owned by
NJ. J. Mcbride. On the representation
that there we're forty horses, twenty sets of
harness and thirteen buggics, the elder Lord
says that he paid 5000 cash to Mcbride
and gave his note for $1,000. On finding
that things were not what they were repre-
sented to be he tried TO prevent the collec-
the recovery of the other $1,000 and
got judgment. On the I'd inst.
the Sheriff sold Lords half interest,
at public auction, and it was bought IN by
the son William for $500. After this sale it
is alleged that Mcbride refused to recogniza
the proprietary interest of the Lords.
The latter employed Reuben FL. Lloyd
as their counsel, and in obedience
TO his instructions they entered the stable
yesterday morning and removed about
twenty horses, a lalf-d0Zen buggleS and
lumber OF sets of harness to stable in the.
during the process of removal, but
the men we're determined and accomplished
their purpose. 1t was for this reason that
warrants were sworn out for the Lords on
charges of grand larceny. All the men
threaten to sue Mcbride for false impriSon-
ment.
At a later hour Mcbride secured search
warrant by calling upon Judge Joachimsen,
and it was placed In the hands OF Officer
T. w. Tompkins, who went to
the stables of j. ID. Forester nc
the corner If Sixteenth and Valencia streets,
where the horses and the other property
was found. Everything was then returned,
and this morning Mcbride again holds ths
key to the situation.
Mcbride, it will be remembered, was in
