BROTHER AND SISTER ELOPG
A Remarkable and Terrible story From

SAN FRANCISCO, February 17.-Tbs
Examiner prints remarkable story OF
brother and sister not knowing their
relation to each other clipping from
Stockton. The adopted father OF the

ing couple and is almost craZed with
grief. His story Is ~ follows:
I'm 1876, George w. Haygood. prom
inent hardware merchant OF Aurora,
Ills, came TO Stockton with his wife
and two children, oliver and Emma,
aged respectively three and one years.
Haygood's wife soon died and shortly
after he left Aurora with the son, leay-
ing the daughter In my care.
adopted the little girl, but lost
all track OF Haygood until re-
ceived information that he mad oeeu
accidentally killed. The son Oliver was
adopted by Milton Wendell and took his
name. The boy grew, learned the drug
business and came TO stockton where
he secured a position as clerk In a drug
store. After he had been In Stockton
six months, / learned that he was
brother OF my adopted daughter who
was at school la Tacoma. When she
returned home on advice OF friends
foolishly delayed telling them OF their
relationship. The young man called
frequently at my house, but had no
idea he was in love with the girl and re-
jolced that they should be such friends.
Last Wednesday, however, they left to-
gether for San Francisco and have
since been told they were badly 10 love
with each other. Despite my endeay-
ors they have found no clue as TO their
whereabouts, and the horrible fact that
neither Of them can realize their fear

Athletic Club Entertainment - Ac
Qu;ttal for TreSpass.

quEtbdt hui tECSpdSS.
The San Francisco Athletic Club gave a
very interesting entertainment last even
ing at its rooms on Sixth street. At s
o'clock the place was crowded with
members, and the boxing and wrestling
bouts, which were inters persed by other
athletic features, were of the very best.
Some of the boxers who won honors at
the Olympic Club boxing night appeared
and received a royal reception. 1t was
almost midnight when the entertainments
was brought TO a very successful conclu-
sion.
Sportsmen who are antagonistic to gun
clubs that have leased large tracts of
marsh land near Susun will undou btedly
be pleased 10 learn that Z. Wilson. The
Treasurer of Solano County, who was
arrested recently by the Cordelia Gun Club
for trespass. was acquitted few DAYS ago
at Benicia.
When the jury brought in a verdict OF
acqulttal large crowd of people, among
whom were many of the prominent peo-
pie of Benicia, gave Mr.. Wilson and the
Msllard Gun CLUB three cheers and tiger
and wished the "Mallards" success in
their fights against any of the ''preserve"
clubs now located on the Suisun marshes
1t goes without saying that any of the
gun club s claiming the right and title to
keep sportsmen from sho citing on the mud
fats Of Suisun will have very pleasant
time IN future in keeping trespassers off
the mud flats which are alleged to be
under cultivation. The experiences of the
past should be sufficient to satisfy the
members of the CordeIia Gun Club that
they will score miss each time thew hone
for conviction.

A STEWART RECITAL.
The Audience Voted for the Next
Concerts Programme.

SOhN~A - Us
There was not such large attendance
at the organ recital by II. j. Stewart In
the First Unitarian Church last night as
the excellence OF the music warranted.
The audience was not an exceptionally
small one, however, and a good deal of
applause was bestowed upon the perform
ers.
The recital opened with the solo part of
an organ concerto by Handel This was
followed by a trombone and organ duet,
variations on the cnorale, Jesus. meine
Zuversicht," by Julius Schneider, w. "a.
Colverd beng the trombone ssloist. rhe
two instruments blended beautifully. and
the duet was one of the most interesting
numbers performed during the evening.
The trombone solo by David also gave
great satisfaction to the audience.
Ii. j. Stewart played ali his solos with
his usual skill and delicacy They were
an andaute with variations in G major,
by Nicolas Jacques Temmens; fantasia
on two English melodies. by GuIlmant,
and a professional march by Theodore
Dubois. ''Entree du Cortege." The
themes of the Guilmant fantasia were
MIA" the lat er, as the programme pointed
out, being composed by Or. Arne, a
| musician to whom belongs the proud dis
tiDctiOn of having composed a national
anthem for two great nations, for it was
TO his air "Anacreon in Heaven" that
| Francis Scott Key wrote his immortal
| poem. "rhe Star-sp1ngled Bsnntr."
| The Dubois march was recommended
| in the programme for use in American
churches on the occasion of weddings as a
relief from the somewhat hackneyed
strains of the Mendelssohn Wedding
March" and the bridal march from
"Lohengrin."
| With the programmes each member OF
| the audience was handed a list of favorite
| compositions given at two recltais in April
and MAY last. The list was headed by The

NOW IT'S DR.. FORD
Another Abandoned BABY
Scandal.
The Doctor Is Charged With At
tempting to Abandon Newly
Born Infant.

Late last night DR.. Campbell Ford. 7341z
Broadway, was booked at the City Prison
on the charge of attempting to abandon a
minor child. and the child was placed in
the care of the marion at the Receiving
Hospital.
About 10 o'clock last night Policeman
Menihan was patrolling his beat when a
citizen told him that man in a hack had
tried to leave baby at a house on Bryant
street, near Second. The citizen pointed
to the hack and Mcmillan gave chase.
The hack stopped in front of Sister
Julia'S Sheltering Arms on Harrison
street, near Second, and a man with a
baby in his arms came out of the hack and
rang the bell. Sister Julia refused to take
in the baby. and just then Mcmillan
stepped up and asked he man to accom-
pany him 20 the Southern police station,
When they got TO the station the officer
10 charge sent them TO Captain Douglass
at the Central police station. To the cap
tain the man who had the baby in his
arms said lie was Dr. Campbell Ford.
II was called to house on the SOUTH
west corner of Stockton and Pacific
streets" he said, ''ab0ut o'clock tonight
to attend young Italian girl in her &C.
couchement, and about an hour afterward
she was delivered of this baby girl.
II do not know the girls name and
never saw her before. She requested me
to take the child TO a fouEdling asylum,
and after it was dressed l got hack and
went in search OF an asylum. took IL to
Sister Julia's, but she refused to receive it.
"1t was my intention then TO take the
baby back to its mother when the officer
arrested me. / know that doctors nave
taken babies to the founding asylum on
Golden Gate avenue and l thought L was
doing nothing wrong in taking this baby
to an asylum.
II got SIT, part of my fee, from a res
taurant-keeper on the corner of Clay and
Stockt on streets, who was present, along
with some girls, at the birth of the child.
The mother is not married, and l suppose
the restaurant-keeper is the father of the
child"
Captain Douglass told the doctor that
he would have to prefer a charge against
him as he had been guilty of a misde-
meanor. The doctor became considerably
agitated and begged the captain to let hin
go. but without effect.
Policeman Menihan was sent to the Re-
ceiving Hospital with the baby. DR.. Berry
| thought the baby was about twenty-fouI
hours old; at all events he was sure it was
more than three or four hours,
About 7 80 O'Clock some one telephoned
to the hospital asking what had been done
with an abandoned baby and was told thai
no baby had been received there.
1t is thought tina. this inquiry was
| about the same baby and if so IL must
| have been born before o'clock, the time
mentioned by Dr.. Ford. The baby is a
strong, healthy one and gave evidence of
being possessed of powerful lungs.
DR.. Ford IS graduate of the California
| University and has been practicing in the
city for the past three or four years
