BLOODY TRAGEDY.
BRUTAL MURDER AT THE BAY
DISTRICT TRACK.
An Exercise Lad Beaten to Death With
Pitchfork-Jockey Ward Ac-
cused of the Crime.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN Francisco, June 19.-The inability
of "Dick" Ward, the jockey, 10 curb his
appetite for strong drink led to an awful
tragedy at the Bay District track this
morning.
About O'Clock, as the help around the
stables commenced their days work, one
of them noticed quilt lying in the alley
way between two rows of the new stables
recently erected on the lot opposite the
track. The lad thought nothing of the
occurrence, believing that some one of
the boys had slept there all night and had
not removed his bedding when he got up
The horse he was leading, however,
snorted in terror and made an attempt
to break away.
The horse was SO excited that he was
led away and then some one picked up
the quilt. AS he did so a most horrible
sight met his view. Lying on the ground
was the body of man stripped naked.
save for an undershirt, while the face had
been battered until it had lost all
semblance to that of human being. The
alarm was at once given and information
sent to police headquarters and the
Morgue.
Near the body lay a pitchfork, the
handle of which was covered with clotted
blood, and there was also two shirts upon
which the murderers had evidently
wiped their bloody hands and removed
as far as possible the blood stains from
their garments.
That the murder was -biooded and
brutal in the extreme there was every
evidence. The force of the blows upon
the face of the dead man had driven his
head into the sandy soil to depth of six
inches. The body was lying about the
center of the alley way and the blood had
splashed the sides of the stable on both
sides up as far as the roof.
The dead man was recognized as John
Kelly, an exercise lad, who is well known
on all the race-tracks of the State, he hav-
ing been employed as exercise lad and
rubber for some years.
Suspicion Immediately fell upon Jockey
Ward as the man who had committed the
act, and soon afterward the police found
him in the rear room of a saloon in the
vicinity. About the same time that
Kelly's dead body was taken into the
Morgue Ward was locked up in one of the
tanks in the City Prison.
When Kelly's body was placed upon a
slab in the Morgue it presented a horri-
BILE and sickening appearance. His face
was battered beyond recognition and was
all covered with blood. Across his chin
and forehead were two long gashes,
which had every appearance of having
been made with some kind of sharp in
strument. Kelly's eyes were gouged out
and his nose was fiattened.

realizing on securities in the money CEN

pairing the Lake View tunnel, mass of
rock and gravel, weighing 1000 tons,

shook like leaf, and reverberated for
several seconds. A mountain spring was
the cause.

SANTA Rosa, June IA few DAYS ago
man about 30 years old came here with
girl about 16 years of age. Nobody
knew them or whence they came and no
attention was paid to them until one day
it was reported they were living in an
empty house on College avenue.
There was nothing in the house but a
pile Of rags, and on this they evidently
slept at night. AS soon as the officers
heard about the strange couple they went
to the house, but found that the pair had
left the night before; that man and
woman answering their description had
engaged hackman to take them out on
the Sebastopol road for a ride, telling
him they would tell him when to stop.
He heard the woman ask the man if she
was doing right in going with him, and
the man swore she was. After driving
four miles the hackman stopped, opened
the door of the vehicle and was surprised
to find the pair gone. 1t is supposed that
the fellow is a married man who has
eloped with the girl and, finding them
selves about to be apprehended, took that
means of escaping.
