ALAMEDA, CAL, March 29.-Judge
Ellsworth met with an accident to-day at
noon by which he sustained fracture of
his left arm above the elbow. The Judge
is lover, in quiet way, of good horse,
and has couple of fair steppers which he
is wont to drive out down on the speed
track at such hours as his arduous duties
may spare him from the bench. Yester-
day he put big bay colt through his
PAGES and showed those who think they
have speedy goers that he was we'll along
with the procession. In coming home, on
Central avenue, the colt stumbled and
fell. The Judge was driving in q road
cart, and was thrown violently out on the
hard macadam. When picked up and ex-
amined by physician it was found that
his left arm had been broken above and
near the elbow. 1t is a bad fracture. In
setting it it was found necessary to take
out piece of bone that had been splin-
tered. There is some fear that the arm
will be stiff when it heals. 1t is certain
that the accident will serve to keep the
magistrate off the bench for some weeks to
come.

been settled that the finish of the annual
relay race shall be at Morton street, on
Central avenue. The races will turn off
the San Leandro road at High street which
leads straight through the easterly end of
the town. They will turn thence west on
Central avenue, which is broad and ad-
mirably paved and without cartracks or
any obstruction.

One Rancher Says That the Horse Is a

TO SELL CHEAP.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,
9O8 Broadway. March 90.

90S Broadway, March %.
The chicken ranchers who feed their
stock on horsefesh have cut the knees of
those who feed the usual food, and there is
trouble at Fruitvale.
In the Fruitvale district lying between
Lynn and the terminus of Peralta avenue
are numerous chicken ranches varying in
size from one to five acres. Until the last
few months they have been source of
profit to the owners of the once peaceful,
quiet neighborhood. Now all this is
changed.
The trouble commenced when an en-
terprising Portuguese saw profitable
speculation for himself, and obtained a
small ranch on Nichol avenue not far dis
tant from the Hermitage. Here he lo-
Gated and started up starving or disabled
horses and opened up slaughter-house.
Then he proceeded to offer the chicken
raisers the meat at such cheap rates that
it proved great temp mptation, and the ma
jority of them have found its use bo-
nanza. A whole carcass can be bought
for 81, or smaller portions at like rates.
This has enabled the dealers to increase
their stock of poultry and eggs so that
they are now cheaper than ever. The
places where horsefesh is used the chick
en-raisers are receiving IL cents in market
for their eggs which are retailed at 12X
cents dozen.
Those who are opposed to using the
horseflesh as chicken food and compelled to
compete with these prices, say chickens are
without profit, as wheat, corn and scrap
meat cost too much to feed hens whose
eggs bring only II cents a dozen in the
market.
~ hot oh ,toJro ol,oe,
for sale in Fruitvale are numerous.
Those who want to sell out are indig-
nant at those who introduced the horse
meat into the vale, and those who buy it
are pleased to find a food SO cheap and
egg-producing. The householder now
slaughters from eight to fifteen animals
every week, and disposes of every pound
of it in Fruitvale and vicinity. The bones
also find their place of usefulness in the
poultry business. 1t is either burnt for
the lime it contains or crushed as egg food.
One of the largest chicken-raisers is
located on Peralta avenue, two blocks from
the Finch Orphanage. He owns 1900 lay
ing pullets, healthy looking, and their
main diet is cooked horseIneat. An acre
sowed in alfalfa supplies the green food re-
quired.
The owner, who is very intelligent man
from Maryland said: II have four acres
of land and fino every foot of it profta-
bic in my poultry business.
"As for horsefiesh for food l can see no
objections to it when the animals are
healthy, for there is no cleaner animal
than horse, especially in the selection of
its food. This notion against it is only
prejudice and in short time it will wear
away. Chickens are naturally dirty in
preference of food and if they always eat
things as clean and wholesome as horse
meat no one need com plain,'
