RACING At WOODLAND,
Horsemen Arriving With Their
Strings for the Coming
Meeting.
Three Days to Be Given Over to the
Harness Brigade and Three
to Runners.

WOODLAND, CAL, Aug. 9.-The out
look for the fair and race meet to be given
by the directors of Agricultural Associa-
tion No. 40, beginning on August "a and
continuing six days. is very promising.
When the directors of the fair association
began to entertain doubt as to the advis-
ability of holding a series of races this
year the business men came to the rescue
and subscribed so literally that the COM
ing fair will be most successful one.
Horses of all grades and classes are ar
irving on every train. Martin & Welch's 8
string of runners arrived yesterday from
Ingleside and is quartered at the track.
Three days will be given over to the light
harness horses and the last three days to
the sprinters. Reports from all parts OF
the State are to the effect that horsemen
are anticipating most successful meet at
Woodland.
There will be no pavilion display, but
the directors will probably engage Romeo
vieri's band and concerts will be given
every evening. At the meeting held last
night J. B. Ferguson of the Ingleside
track was engaged to start the runners.

VENTURA, CAL, Aug. 9.-The central
committee of the Peoples party of Ven
tura County yesterday passed the follow
ing resolution by unanimous vote, and
ordered copies sent to each central COM
mittee in the district:
WHEREAS, AS the bold and shameful means
used by the minions of the Southern Pacific
ton at Ventura on August and 5. to defeat
the nomination of George Patton for Congress
in this Congressional District (the proceed
ings of said convention were detailed in the
Ventura Free Press and other papers) deserve
the severest rebuke of the people; and
whereas, the manly course of George S.
Patton against such corruption and
people, shows him to be an able and safe
leader and worthy of the support of the voters
of this Congressional District; therefore, be 1t
Resolred, By the County Central Committee
OF the Peoples party in Ventura County, that
the delegates to the convention TO be held at
requested to use all honorable means
to secure the nomination OF Hon.
George S. Patton for Congress in this
Congressional District, and we earnestly re-
quest all the delegates OF the other counties to
unite in this effort to put down this gigantic
corporation in its brazen effort to rob the
people OF their rights; and
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be
transmitted TO each of the delegations of the
other counties of this district, together with
a copy of the Free Press containing the pro-
ceedings OF said convention.
Dated this 9th day of August, 1896.

SPORT AT SANTA MONICA.
First Heat of the annual StCinsnsin!
Contest Won by Currilfo.

First Heat of the Annual SiUinsning
Contest Won by Carrilto.
SANTA MONICA, CAL, August g. The
first heat of the second annual swimmin e
contest of Southern California was raced
here to-day from the beach in front of the
North Beach Bathhouse to buoy one
sixth of mile from shore and return.
There were six entries-Leo Carrillo, Joe
Hart, H. Tsueda. /. r. Sheckels, William
Rapp, the two latter withdrawing prior to
the race.
The start was superb one, Carrillo and
Hart taking the lead and the Japanese
and SheckeIs following. 1t was pretty
race between the leaders to the buoy, they
keeping even all the way. Carrillo turned
little ahead of Hart, and from thereon
kept gaining in spite OF his antagonists
efforts until he reached the starting point
the winner of the race. Time, IL minutes !;
Hart second, Ia minutes. Sheckels, who
was distanoed, claims to have become
sick. Roy Jones, manager of the BATH
house, presented the prizes to the success
ful swimmers before an immense audi
ence.
The second and final heat will be con-
tested next Sunday from the same place
over the same course.

NEWS OF MARE ISLAND.
The Gunboat Bennington Soon
to Steam Away for
Honolulu.
Eleven Hundred and Sixty.Five Men
Now on the Naval Stations
Payroll.

VALLEJO, CAL. Aug. 9.-The gunboat
Bennington left the yard yesterday for San
Francisco, where a supply of coal will be
taken aboard. 1t is the intention then te
proceed North and join Admiral Boards
lee s squadron for feet drill, after which
the little gunboat IS expected to steam
away for Honolulu.
A large force of men is employed on the
Baltimore, stripping it. in order that when
sctual work IN making needed repairs i:
begun nothing will be in the way to hin.
der its progress. Six months will elapse
before the cruiser Is pronounced ready to
go into commission.
Within the next two weeks the steam
engineering department will take on quite
a large force OF men to work on the various
ships in harbor. The other departments
at the yard have about all the force they
can carry. The men are distributed as
follows: Construction and repair, 702
steam engineering, 2o5; yards and docks
108; equipment, IL; ordnance, Al supplies
and accounts, "a; medicine and surgery,
1 total, 1165.
Monday is pay day. and these men will
have the sum of SAC, 900 dealt out to them
as the result of two weeks work.
On the Sd of September registrations al
the Labor Board office wall cease until
after the election in November takes place.
For this reason as many men will be taken
on the rolls within the next two or three
weeks as can be used to advantage on the
ships.
To facilitate Office work in the construc.
ton department all of the clerks and
draughtsmen are 70 be transferred tonewly
fitted up apartments in the construction
building. Word has beer received that
the construction department is about to
build new caisson for the stone dock. 1t
was feared that this work would be let out
by contract. The building of the yard
tug Unadilla made q record for construc-
ton people which has not been over
looked; hence the ordering OF the build
ing of the new gate.
A dozen launch engines are to be built
by the steam engineering department to
cost about $500 each. The engines are tc
be on hand for use when required.

Several blows were exchanged before the play
ers separated them. Both were arrested and
taken to the station-house. Rhines umpired
the last inning Louisville had a batting
streak in the sixth inning, and, aided by mis-
erable fielding, scored three runs. Hill pitched
a good game, but his support was very rag

Hart kept the hits well scattered except In
the fourth, but the errors came at inoppor-
tune times. Briggs was effective at critical
stages, but allowed six bases on balls. Ever

John Cary.
MODESTO, CAL, Aug. 9.-Charles VIII
Iiams, an Englishman, aged 30, was killed
by John Cary near La Grange yesterday.
Williams went to Patricksville in search
of man named Rainey Peasley. As soon
as he found Peasley they began to quar-
rel, and Williams was seen to throw
stone at Peasley, which hit him on the
head.
John Cary, a brother.in-law OF Peasley,
ran to his relations assistance, and
was ordered to stand back. Williams be-
gan to throw rocks at Cary. The men
soon got into close quarters, and Cary
knocked him down three times with his
fist, ending by kicking him on the right
Williams was brought to the County

THE MERcED SUICIDE.
Youno Van Heekeren the Last Descend
ant of a Noble House of the
Netherlands.


MERGED, CAL, Aug. y.-The full name
of the HolIander who committed suicide
in Merced on Thursday was John Van
Broekhuizen Heekeren.
He was the son Of the Baron OF that
name, now residing at Nymegen, Neither
lands, and according 30 the custom OF his
native land, was entitled to the title OF
Jonkheer, until his accession to the baro-
netcy, which would have occurred at the
death of his father.
The family of the Van Broekhuizen
Heekerens was one OF the Oldest noble
families in the Netherlands and dates
from the seventeenth century IN an un-
broken line of descent. The death of the
ton of the family name, as the deceased
was the only living son.
The father is an old and feeble man, liv-
ing on his estates, which have dwindled
away until at present, although not poor
man, he is rated as one of the s'poor aris-
tocracy." A married sister is his only
sur viving relative.
The family has not been particularly
noted in the annals of its country beyond
its pride in its ancestry.
The suicide was queer mana rover
and at times acted strangely. He was,
while living in his native land, sergeant
in the Schuttery, which corresponds to
our National Guard.
While living in San Francisco some
years ago, when James DeFremery was
consul, he had some difficulty with the
consul, and threw bricks and rocks
through consulats window to emphasize
his disapproval.

.EL0PES FROM W|NLOCK
Mrs. Homer v. Root Runs Away
With Her Husbands
Partner.
The Former San Francisco Detective
Swears Vengeance on
the Pair.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 9.-Homer v.
Root, Winlock (Wash.J farmer, is here
looking after his eloping wife and her
present companion, "Jack" rockingham.
He says that if he encounters the couple
rockingham will "bite the dust" or him
self will die in the attempt to kill the
eloper.
Root has traced the runaways to this
city, and he feels confident that they are
here yet. They decamped from his ranch
about a week ago, taking with them $400
in currency and $110O in bonds, all his
own.
When Root was asked why he did not
invoke the assistance of the police to find
his people he replied that he was pretty
good detective himself, and besides he de.
sired that no arrests be made. He wanted
to handle the business personally. He
said that be and rockingham had been
connected with private detective agency
for three years in San Francisco, making
money at the business. He saved his
earnings, while his colleague squandered
his share on women and cards. About a
year ago Root bought the Winlock farm.
Frcthingham being "broke" and out OF
work, he gave him home.
"For some time past added Root, 81
noticed that Jack and my wife were un-
commonly confidential in their talks, but
I thought nothing of it because the idea
never struck me that was nursing a SER
pent. We have been married ten years,
never having had a disagreement. /
trusted my wife as l would my life"
Root, taking a note out of his pocket,
said in choking voice. look at that.
That has made me desperate" It read:
Mn Dear Boy: know that am wrongine
you, for you are one of the best men on earth,
but "Jack" has so much influence over me
that must go with him. l can't explain it
but try to forget me. With much love,
ALICE
Root, returning the note to his pocket,
with tears in his eyes swore he would Kill
rockingham, though be should hang fol
it the next moment With reference to
his wife he spoke most sympathetically
claiming she possibly was under hypnotic
influences, in which power he is firm be-
lever. Root proposes remaining here till
he has accomplished his bloody mission
or is compelled to seek the couple else
where. There is no doubt that he is in
