At THE PETALUM MA TRACK,
Every Seat in the Grand Stand
Filled - Many Ladies
Present.
Pool-Selling Lively for the 2:17-
Class Trotting Race-Boodle the
Winner.

PETALUMA, CAL, Aug. PIT looked
like good old times at the Petaluma track
this afternoon, when Judge Fred Loeber
rang the bell for the 2:17-class trotters.
Every seat in the large grand stand was
filled. The day was typical California
one, and the women were out in large
numbers, white being their predominating
color. The Angel Island band of twenty
two pieces furnished excellent music. The
inield was crowded with farmers wagons,
and if Governor Budd could have been
present and seen the attendance to-day he
would probably never again refuse to at
tach his name to bill appropriating funds
to aid district fairs.
Pool-selling was lively, with Doodle the
hottest kind of favorite, at 10 to for
Stranger and Electra. Stranger led at The
start in the first heat. with Electra at the
wheels of his bike around the nrst turn
and Doodle two lengths farther back. The
pace down the backstretch was too fast for
Stranger and he left his feet and was
passed by Electra and Doodle. The mare
forged ahead and at the half was five
lengths ahead of Doodle. Around the up
per turn and down the homestretch Elec-
ira and the favorite came trotting true and
fast. 1t looked like Electra's heat until
within fifty yards from the finish, when
Electra broke and before Rodgers could
get her Strengthened out the wire was
passed with Doodle a head in the lead.
Time, 2:19.
The race was now considered a gift for
Doodle and pool-selling was at an end. A
bad break on the first turn in the second
heat by Doodle threw him several lengths
behindElectra, wholed Stranger two lengths
at the first quarter. At the head of the
stretch Doodle had closed up the big gap
and was but length behind Stranger, who
was Tapped on Electra. Down the stretch
it was royal struggle. Slowly, but surely
the favorite was cutting down the leaders,
and at the drawgate the three horses were
on even terms. Just when it looked like
Boobies heat he broke and fell back two
lengths, Stranger winning by half
length from Electra, who just nosed Boo
die out OF second place. Time, 2:17H.
Doodle took the next two heats and the
race, Stranger second and Electra third.
The free-for-all pace proved an interest
ing event. Plunkett, local horse, was
faYorits at Is to 5,..for Belle and Del Norte
in the field. Plunkett won his race in
straight heats, Del Norte second and Belle
| distanced.

But Little Injured
VANCOUVER, b. c.. Aug. 22.-The
steam collier Kahului, which grounded at
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon on Trial
Island, flies the Hawaiian flag, though
owned in San Francisco. She is loaded
with 1926 tons of coal from Departure Bay
for Oakland. There was dense fog when
the steamer struck. The tide was dead
high and immediately commenced to turn.
The captain and pilot Immediately left for
Victoria for assistance, and before starting
the crew had commenced jettisoning the
cargo in the forward compartments.
By z O'Clock the steamer Rithet, with a
large force of men, was on the way out.
On reaching the steamer it was seen the
tide had shifted her, broadside on, close to
the rocky shoreline. She had bad list to
starboard and the fresh-water tank directly
forward contained salt water, showing she
was stove in.
At l O'clock 1t was noticed she was up
right and in her original position at right
angles to the island. Her wheel was i'm
mediately started full speed astern and she
was soon off the rocks and proceeded to
Royal Roads. She continued on her voy-
age to-day, being practically uninjured,
except in her forward tank.

ROBBED THE RENO DEPOT,
The Office CaShbox Emptied
of All the Cash 1t Con-
tanned.
A Large Sum of Money In the Safe
Was Overlooked by the
Bold Thief.

RENO, New, Aug. 22.-The joint passen-
ger depot of the Southern Pacific and Vir-
ginia and Truckee railroads was robbed OF
$54 80 this evening at about o'clock.
Agent Phillips left for dinner few mo-
ments before 6. Agent Fields was in the
office, reading paper, but three minutes
later went out to the freightshed. Operator
Will Mott, the night man, arrived at sos
and found the door forced with jimmy
and all the change money Of the day gone
from the cashbox.
A large sum of money was in the safe,
but the robber had no time to get it. 1t
was evident that the robber was well ac-
quainted with the premises, as he had only
five minutes in which to do the job and
get away with the cash.

SAID TO BE BLACKMAIL
Charges Made by Defendant
Burroughs Against the
Plaintiff.
HIS LIFE WAS THREATENED.
Marie Wilson and Her Mother De-
manded Five Thousand Dollars
of Him.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 22.-The suit OF
Marie Wilson for $4,000 damages for
breach of promise against P. ]. Burroughs
was up before Judge Reynolds this morn
ing on motion to strike out defendant
answer.
Attorney Morehouse said his client, P. j.
Burroughs, was in town and ready to go on
the stand at any time. Judge Reynolds
said it was not necessary for the defendant
to go on the stand, as he would dismiss
the motion to strike out the answer with
out prejudice, and the case would go on
the calendar, to be set for trial Monday.
Miss Wilson, who is conducting her own
case, a few weeks ago introduced letter
in court, purporting to be signed by Bur-
roughs, and asking that the answer be
stricken out and judgment entered against
him by default. Attorney Morehouse at
once pronounced the letter forgery, and
the matter was continued until to-day.
P. J. Burroughs was seen to-day, and
said: 81 left this State on March II last,
and went direct to Chicago, and conse-
quently could not have signed the letter
at Stockton directing that the case be dis
missed. Marie Wilson and her mother are
trying to blackmail me, and | have come
back to fight the case to the end. | first
met Marie Burroughs and her mother in
Los Angeles while selling jewelry there.
Marie and her mother are simply attempt
ing to blackmail me.
81 have the facts by which it is shown
that Marie Wilson has been married. She
got something on her husband, who was a
prominent official of railroad in Southern
California, by which she broke him up,
threw him out of his job and took all his
savings, some $1,000 to $4,000. under
stand that this man is now 'braking' on
the road.
when these women were introduced to
me they were buying some diamonds.
They came to the store usually after the
sales of the day closed. One of them asked
Mr. Martin what was worth. Thinking
nothing about the matter he playfully re-
piled that had lot of money; that was
worth million. Then it was they deter
mined on their course. IN my mind.
"Why, these people attempted to kill
me in San Francisco. have eye-witnesses
of this. They demanded $4,000 spot cash,
and Marie Wilson told me she would kill
me if it was not paid. Her mother said
Yes, if Marie don't kill you / will"
