BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
viii F. Jackson, the Artist, Was
the Victim.
Two Men Present Revolvers at His
Head and Relieve Him of His
Watch and Money.

A daring robbery was committed last
night by two footpads at Seventeenth
and @ streets.
w. F. Jackson, the well-known artist
snd Custodian of the city's art gallery,
left his home about O'Clock, and when
about half block from home he was
tapped on his shoulder by a man, who
said, ''Say, throw up your handsw at the
same time thrusting a revolver under his
nose. jackson hesltated second or two,
thinking it might be joke, but was
shoulder from another man, who said
gruffiy, mo d--n nonsense, now; put
them upr' At the same time another
pistol was thrust against his stomach, to
add weight to the command.
OF course, under such circumstances,
there was only one thing to do, and Jack
son did it. His hands went up, and they
relieved him of gold watch and clfain.

money and several gold specimens from
his mine.
He attempted TO look around after be-
ing relieved of his property, but was
checked by a stern command not to do
SO. he says one OF LIS aSSalIantS was
little taller than the other, and one had 4
red handkerchief over his mouth, while
the other had white one over his. He
is not able to give much of description
Of them, but states that they were both
quite nervous, SO 1t IS not improbable
that they are new hands at the business.
The police were notified, and search
was made for the robbers, but, up TO a
late hour last night, without success.
Captain Talbot and officer Maley ar
rested man on suspicion OF being one Of
the footpads, and searched him closely,
but as he had nothing on him, and jack
son could give no definite description of
either Of the men, he was allowed to go.

4 DAY With THE HOUNDS.
FIeet-Footed Coursers Chase the
NimbIe Jack-Rabbt.
The Exciting Finish Between Mid
night and Valley Boy-A Well
Managed Days Sport.

A large number of persons enjoyed a
great days sport yesterday at the Whit
comb ranch, on the lower Stock ton road,
where the Sacramento Coursing Club
held its midwinter hare-chase. The
weather was delightful and the ground in
perfect condition, but hares were not as
numerous as. was desired. However.
enough were found for all the matches,
and they were runners, too, from away
back.
Thomas Farrell was President of the
Day and conducted the match with such
fairness and tact that not an unpleasant
incident occurred to mar the sport. Those
present were unanimous in according
great credit to the judge of the racing,
Michael German, whose decisions were
unquestioned by those whose hounds
competed in the running. John Long
as Steward, and n. B. Griffith, as Slip
per. also performed their respective tasks
to the satisfaction of everyone on the
ground.
The concluding series was very eXcit-
ing, the contest having narrowed down to
Thomas FarrelPs Valley Boy and n. b.
Grif1ith's Midnight, the latter winning
| first, and the former second money.
These dogs are phenomenal runners, and
probably have no superiors on the coast.
They are litter brothers, and were bred
by John McMahon and Mr.. Farrell, the
former being the owner OF the sire,
Mourne-shore, and the latter of the dam,
Pride. MOurne-shore is by Cartwright,
the great Irish-bred dog, and Pride is
herself campagner with great record
OF winnings. Another dog of the same
breeding, Gile, won second at the great
Merced coursing match last November.
The following is the order in which the
several series were run:
First series-T. Farrelrs Valley Boy
beat H. Sheehan's Captain jim.
f. Gunther's Minnett beat J. Longs
Galty Boy.
J. Maloney's Limbertwig beat F.
Straits Jack.
n. B. Grit1ith's Midnight beat j. Buck
ley's Tigress.
II. Rumbe's Penny beat J. Maloney's
Black Thorne
j. McMahon's Wildwood ran a bye.
Second series-Valley Boy beat Min
nett; Midnight beat Limbertwig; Wild
wood beat Penny.
Third series-Valley Boy beat Mid
night, and Wildwood ran bye.
Final serleS-Nalley Boy and Wildwood
then ran for first and second moneys,
and Wildwood won. Third money went
to Midnight.
Matters in local coursing circles have
been rather quiet of late years. but the
Sacramento Coursing Club has some new
blood In 1t now, and as many of the best
dogs in the State are owned here it is
likely that several interesting matches

since aroused no little interest among
the people of that portion of the Cape.
Mr.. Strout's adventure seems to have

light house is not generally locked, and
this night slight screen door was all
that stood in the way of an entrance oy
any prowler.
1t was about the middle of the night,
and Mr.. Strout. with his wife and child,
was sleeping soundly. Suddenly he was
awakened by a mans hand. which was
feehng Oh his face, apparently with the
idea OF discovering about the occupants
OF the bed. Mr.. Strout started out of
bed at once, and finding a match began
to light a lamp. The owner of the
hand, proffting by this delay, made his
escape from the house; and by the time
Mr.. Strout had got the lamp lighted the
only signs OF his presence were the open
doors through which he had fed.
