LEFT BY PREHISTORIC MAN.
Footprints of Monster Human Are Found
on the Rocky Senshore Near
Kesfco0sf
Westcoosf.


VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 9.-The steam
schooner Mischief, Captain H. r. Foot,
which has just returned from Westcoast,
brings news of peculiar discovery re-
Gently made by Mr.. Leeson, the only
storekeeper livingin in that sparsely settled
little seabound village. The find was that
of footprints, antedating, it is supposed,
the Adamites, and mutely telling of
race of giants who, according to
the researches and teachings of arch@ol-
ogy, inhabited this earth in prehistoric
years.
What mainly bears interest in the dis
covery Is that it was made on the Pacific
Coast, for although evidence of these ex-
tlnct creatures have been found along the
Mississippi and elsewhere on this conti-
nent nowhere in the West has anything
of the kind ever been previously located.
The footprints are known to but one, the
finder, and he, realizing the fortune in
their preservation, announced his inten-
tion to Captain Foot of securing at least
one OF the monstrous imprints by cutting
square block out of the solid rock in
which it appears. This rock is situated
on the water front, and from it the foot
prints can be traced in winding and regu-
lar course up the steep embankment until
lost In the indistinctness of moss and
shrubbery. One of these imprints, and
that nearest the water, measures four
inches deep by twenty-nine inches long
and bears in exact and perfect outline the
impression of a naked foot. A distance of
four feet between each track gives eyi-
dence of the uniform step of the stranger.

SANDY'S DESP|SED DEAD.
Murderer Thiede's Body Denied
a Resting-Place in the
Town Cemetery.
Relatives Avert a Bloody Conflict
With Citiz MS by Exhuming
the Remains.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 9.-The body
of wife-murderer Charles HI. Thiede, who
was hanged here on Friday, was inferred
by his relatives on the afternoon of the
day of the execution, in the cemetery at
Sandy, small town fifteen miles south OF
Salt Lake.
The citizens strongly objected to the
body of the murderer being buried in
their little cemetery, and it appeared that
the relatives of the murderer, anticipat-
ing opposition, had the grave secretly
prepared without the knowledge of the
ecclesiastical board and conveyed the re-
mains by a secluded road to the spot, SO
that the body was laid away before any
but the relatives knew of it.
The citizens became very angry and
held mass-m Getting and sent representa-
tives to Thiede's people asking that the
body be removed within twenty-four
hours The demand was refused, and the
committee threatened to exhume it in the
night and throw it into the river.
The dead mans relations armed them.
selves to the teeth and kept guard con-
stantly at the grave since Friday night.
In the m eantime the sentiment against
leaving the remains in the cemetery
grew stronger. Those guarding the body
were re- e-enforced and conflict was only
averted by the murderer's relatives capitu-
lating. Under force they signed an agree
ment to permit the body to be removed,
and at midnight tonight the despised
remains will be exhumed and reinterred
in field adjoining the cemetery.

1.-The grand march .Ef Captain" was
played by Hastings band as an introduc-
tion to the remainder of the programme.
Then followed the mass chorus, 1.-The

societies, which was enthusiastically en-
cored. A festival poem composed by
Vice-P President Julius Meyer of the San
Francisco Harmonic Society. Then came
fine barytone solo. 1.-THE Heart on the
Rhine" by John Plagemann, whose fine
voice filled the entire pavilion.
To an inspiring air out into the broad
white of the floor marched eight young
Ladies with Indian clubs in their hands
and took positions for an exhibition OF
club-swinging under the leadership of II.
Reiter of San Jose. They wore dark
bloomers. dark hose, black slippers, white
waists, turnover collars and black ties.
The clubs were black. The boomers per-
mitted very graceful freedom of action.
When these young ladies, who were from
San Jose, concluded this attractive feature
of the programme, somebody among the
spectators proposed sThree cheers for

part of the pavilion. The young ladies
belong to the Young Ladies' Glass of the

About 200 young men in the Turner uni
form took The floor next, and, with wands
in hand, marched around the hall several
times to the music OF the band, prepara-
tory to the competitive wand drills. Nearly
every city in the Bezirk was represented
by its wand-drill corps. The wands were
steel tubes about three feet long, nickel
plated. The evolutions were slightly dra-
matte and Amazonian in character, and
frequently brought out applause from the
thousands of admiring spectators The

could view both exercises at once if they

there was a pretty effect in cluster of

was composed of the instructors fthe vari-

They were fifteen in number, and were at

ers of the athletic classes. The San

awakened the matin echoes on the COM
paratively deserted streets. The sIeeplest
heard their noise, and awoke to the
iact that programme OF excellent
athletic exercises was about to be opened.

Following the drum corps came the San
Francisco Schuetzen Society, so strong.
They presented gay and picturesque ap-
pearance with the graceful feathers in
their hats, and breasts decorated with the
medals of many contest won. The San
Francisco Turn Veiein, about 55 in num-
Der, composed the next phalanx. They
were in the Turner uniform of light
colored shirts and trousers. The San
Francisco Eintracht, 40 strong, in the
same uniform, followed. In the following
order came the San Francisco Mission

While the young men with the wands
stood at parade rest the Grafton of the day
was delivered by Albert Curtin of
San Jose, president of the Pacific
Coast Turn Bezirk, who spoke in Ger
man. President Curtin extended q
greeting to all to the sixteenth
funniest Bezirk, and wished that the
members would add more laurels to their
brows than had ever been gained before.
He said that a proud past was theirs and
it was their duty to see that the future was
not less worthy of praise He said that

The Danube song waltz, rendered in
magnificent harmony and style by the
mass chorus, concluded the evening pro-
gramme in the pavilion. A longer pro-
gramme had been arranged, but owing 10
the lateness of the hour the mum bers were
continued until tomorrow. The wand
drill was an exhibition only, it being de-
cided at the pavilion to continue the COM
petitive drills until tomorrow.
Tonight Albert Metzer of Santa Cruz
and L. Weber OF San Jose were appointed
the score committee for the shooting con-
tests of the turnfest.
The free-for-all prize-shoot1ng contest
was largely patronized this afternoon.
There were twenty prizes, amounting to a
total of $125, ranging from 81 30 to S25, the
highest prize. j. Utschig made score OF

cisco AriOn with 40 vocalists in line.
The forenoon exercises at the grounds
comprised, chiefly. rehearsals for the COM
petitions down on the programme to fol-
low in the afternoon. There were exer-
cises on the horizontal and parallel bars
and the mass and class wand exercises.
These competitions proceeded with much
vigor and interest in the afternoon, and as
each particularly good and graceful turn
was made on the bars or on the leather
horse the crowd applauded enthusiastic
cally. 1t was peculiarity of this crowd
that 1t seemed to know a good thing in
athletics when it saw it, but that is in all
probability a faculty peculiar to the spec
tators of Turner society events.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, Aug. 9.-The Salt

newspaper of Utah. has abandoned the
news service of the Chicago Associated
Press and is now receiving the full leased
wire overland and Pacific Coast news re-
port OF the United Associated Presses.
In it's issue of this morning, announcing
the change as "a new and i'm mporta1t step
IN way of permanent improvement" the
Herald says that "the dispatches sent out
by the Chicago Associated Press have been
unsatisfactory in many particulars, and
anything but impartial, especially in
political matters; that s'the United Asso-
ciated Presses is the most independent,
comprehensive and efficient news gather
ing organization in the world" and that
in making permanent alliance with 1t,
the Herald I"has availed itself of the
earliest practical opportunity to cut loose
from the Chicago Associated Press and to
lend the weight of its influence to the
movement for securing q better news

in the Great Pavilion at
Night.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. 9.-Those
who attended the sixteenth Bezirk Turn
fest-and their names were legion-spent
most of the day in the grateful shade OF
the grove at the Russell racetrack, about
one mile from town. The shooters hung
their powder-horns on the boughs, and
this made certain portions of the grove
almost typical hunting scenes. Beneath
the trees also each visiting delegation had
its own exclusive and sacred spot, with its
banner tackled aloft, and its chairs, tables
and its own private keg.
There were plenty of refreshments of all
kinds, and the crowd that assem- bled there
to see the sports of the day was one of the
most orderly that ever gathered at the
racetrack. An expansive dancing plat
form with convenient seats had been
erected in the midst of the shade, and
Hastings band supplied dancing music
for the young people from IL o'clock in
the morning till O'Clock in the evening.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
platform was filled for each number by
Jolly crowd, which Haunted the festival
colors in the breeze created by the dance.
Carriages carried the multitude to and
from the grounds all day long. Not less
than 10000 people visited the grounds
during the day.
Over the stubble of wheatfeld at one
siae of the grove the bullets of the free
for-all public shooting contest sang their
way to 2O0-yard distant bullseyes. There
was danger sign to warn stroilers away
from the path of Workmanship, and a
sentinel was stationed in that direction as
an additional precaution. A sort of arena
was fenced in at one side of the grove, in
which the parallel bar ana horse vaulting
exercises took place. Conveniently at one
side, in plain view of the crowd, the hori-
