Crozier, the Local Champion, Leads
Him for Mile.

I1lIll IOf u MIG.
A large crowd gathered at the skating
rink last night to see the first heat of the
much-talked-of mile race between Snow
den, who claims to be the worlds cham
pion skater, and Crozier, the local cham
pion, who has been lowering the colors
of all corners for some time.
The racers started at $50 O'Clock. and
Crozier took the lead. Snowden was
close upon his heels, however, and then
began one of the most exciting races ever
seen in Sacramento. At no time during
the race We're the men more than three
feet apart, and both were going ut ter
rifle speed. Snowden apparently exerted
himself to get ahead of the Sacramento
man, but it was of no avail, as Crozier
Rugged the corners so closely that the
champion could not get around him.
Croz;er finished in the lead by about
foot, but he had to skate faster than lie
covered the mile in three minutes and
fitty-seven seconds, breaking his own
record.
Snowden is without doubt faster man
than Crozier, but is not the general that
the latter is, and besides, Crozier had the
advantage Of being thoroughly ac-
quainted with the turns and angles of
the local rink floor.
The second heat will take place Satur-
day evening. If Crozier wins it viii
give him the race and purse $500, but if
SnowGen finishes in the lead another
heat will have to be skated to settle the
race.
Morgan and Knapp, the champion BIZ
cyclists, will arrive in this city next
week and arrangements will probably be
made with them for race or two at the
rink

DOCTOR NELSON
Death of the Well-Known Surgeon /,
This CITY,


This City.
DR.. Henry W. Nelson died in this city
yesterday, after an illness of several
weeks duration. He was man most
highly esteemed in this city, and as a
physician he ranked among the ablest in
the profession. He was Canadian by
birth, and 65 years of age. He leaves a
wife.
DR.. Nelson took up his first residence
in this State at Mormon Island, in 1919,
in this county, where he engaged in his
practice, and also in mining. While he
practiced medicine and surgery at Nor
mon Island, Judge CatIin was also
there practicing law and mining to some
extent.
DR.. Nelson was always regarded as one
of the ablest surgeons in the State, and
was generally consulted by tue other
local surgeons in the more difficult cases.
In early days his services were sought
from far and near, and he had very
wide practice throughout the Sacramento,
Placer and Ell Dorado mining regions. He
was quito q genius in the way of inventing
and making surgical apparatus and i'm
PIGMENTS, and had a little workshop
always connected with his Office.
Deceased was an ardent sportsman, and
until few years ago never neglected TAX
ing an annual jaunt for deer-shooting,
while he was always ready to join party
going in quest of smaller game near
home.
His funeral will take place on Friday.

OUT OF LUCK.
The SuIIivan-KeIIy Company Meets
Disaster Again by Fire.
The Warehouse at Second and Streets
Burned Yesterday
Morning.

The large four-story brick warehouse
on the northwest corner of Second and
streets, owned by L. Gum and rented by
the Suiliyan-Kelly Company for the pur-
pose of storing glassware, was discovered
on fire yesterday morning at s o'clock
and the whistles at the Water Works, q
block distant, sounded the alarm. The
fire department was on the scene in a
very short time, and several lines of hose
were quickly stretched. The fire was
burning fiercely ON the first floor inside
the building and sheets of flame sprang
up the elevator chute, igniting the floors
of the three upper stories. In order to
get hose inside the building on the sec
ond floor, the iron doors in the windows
had to be broken from the hinges, and
these and other obstacles prevented the
firemen from getting stream of water on
the flames for some time. When they
got a fair chance to fight the fire, however
they did effective work, and succeeded in
saving about four-fifths of the stock in
the building. Trustee Mclaughlin, one
of the members Of the firm, says the en-
tire department worked we'll and were
managed to the best advantage.
GOOD WORK BY FIREMEN.
Although the tour floors of the structure
were on fire, the flames were subdued in
a comparatively short time after the men
began to direct the streams of water
against the burning floors. At 10 o clock
the whistles blew "out''
The Suilivan-Kelly Company had
about $1,000 worth of stock, composed al
most entirely of plate glassware, in the
building, and IL is estimated that about
one-ffth OF it wss either broken or rem
dered useless by the flames. None of the
floors fell in, so that not a great quantity
OF the glass was cracked. On the top
floor lot of paint brushes which were
damaged in the last fire in the company's
place of business, on Second street, be-
tween l and j, were Strewn about. They
were considered OF little value. The
glassware in the front rooms on the Sec
ond and third floors was damaged but
very little. Most of the loss sustained
was to the stock
STORED ON THE FIRST FLOOR,
And in the two rear rooms on the second
and third stories. About fifteen barrels
OF coal tar stored in the corner of the
building on the first floor were removed
before the contents had been damaged.
The Sullivan-kelly Company's loss is
| covered by insurance.
Mr.. Gum, the owner of the building
estimates that it will cost nearly s., eco to
construct new hoorings. He had no in
surance on the property.
The origin OF tho fire is not known
Mr. Gum conducts blacksmith shop on
one side Of the place. and he says the fire
was discovered after he had left his shop
for short time yesterday morning. 4
tlre was smoldering in the forge, but he
does not think that a spark from it could
nave caused such a conflagraIion in So
short a period of time.

Mrs. Gray Narrowly Escapes Death

Mrs. NJ. J. Gray, who lives with her
husband ON o street, near Fourth,
swallowed quantity of carbolic acid
yesterday afternoon, and had a narrow
escape from death. Physicians We're sent
for Immediately, and soon had her out of

Why she took the poison cannot be

Mr.. Gray, the lady's husband, and
John 81. Measure, her father, We're seen

that she had taken the poison by acct

'.sShe has been troubled with headaches
for some time," said the husband, ''and
has been in the habit of applying cam
phor and other things to her head. She
also has some medicine which she takes
internally. The carbolic acid we kept in
the house for disinfectant I think she
took it by mistake

CLEVER GLOVE CONTEST.

Morrisey Defeats Brady, the stockton
Lad, in Eleven Rounds.
One of the best and most scientific!glove
contests seen in Sacramento in many a
day took place at the Comique Theater
last evening.
The contestants were James Morriscy
of this city and Ed. Brady of Stockton.
The former had some advantage in
weight and strength, but he found the
Stockton lad to be exceedingly shifty
and hard hitter. Neither of the boxers
lost their telnpers during the entire con-
test, no blood was shed and there was no
brutality exhibited. 1t was scientific
game of clean hitting throughout.
Eleven rounds We're fought. The con-
test up to that time was so even that it
was impossible to form any conclusion
as to who would be the winner. But dur
ing rapid exchange of blows at close
range in the eleventh round. Morrisey
succeeded in landing stiff jolt on
Brady's jaw, which rendered the Stock
ton boxer temporarily helpless, and he
was counted out.
Mayor Comstock witnessed the contest.
He was there to see if anything occurred
that was in violation of the law.

OVER THE GARDEN WALL
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Escap
From the County Jat1

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Escape
From the County Jail.
James Stevens, prisoner serving time
in the County Jail for petty larceny,
made an attempt to escape yesterday. He
climbed upon the wall of the jail-yard and
jumped to the ground on the outside, but
was detected in the act by Jailer New
bert, who, upon opening the prison gate
and rushing outside, found Stevens una
Bile to get away. He had broken his
right leg at the ankle in the jump, and
had to be carried back to the Jail, where
the City Physician set the limb.
In searching the prisoners and cells
yesterday Sheriff Stanley found number
of pocket knives and two razors in the
possession of the inmates. Charles Free
man, who is under sentence of death for
murder, was relieved of razor which he
said he carried for several months.
A hole was discovered in the wall
around the jail-yard, and it is thought
that through this the prisoners have been
supplied by their friends with opium and
morphine, which they are not allowed to
use while in Jail.
