Herbert Spencer, the well-known sports
man, who tor many years was the shoot
ing companion of w. j. Stackpole, de.
ceased, was taken by very unexpected
surprise yesterday morning on receipt of
a telegram from Alameda which briefly
stated that his famous pointer dog, Buck
S, the winner of first prizes under Judges
Roper, Davidson, Wadell ana Mortimer,
was dead.
Mr.. Spencer, who resides in Alameda,
was very much attached to his dog, which
was acknowledged by sportsmen as being
one OF the best trained pointers in this
State on quail. The highly priced canine
was always accorded an hours exercise by
It's owner each morning in the immediate
vicinity of Mr.. Spencer's residence, and
on yesterday morning it is presumed that
the dog had partaken OF some poisoned
meat which had caused his death.
Mr.. Spencer is determined that he will
leave no stone unturned in unearthing the
vandals who have poisoned go many valu-
able dogs of late, and 1t is safe to say that
If the guilty party is discovered he or she
will receive a lesson which will not soon
be forgotten. Dog-poisoning in Alameda
has become very popular of late.

this year will assuredly prove a most sue
cessful venture. The entry of dogs of
various breeds is much larger than last
year, ana Judging from the great interest
that is manifested by all classes OF sports
men in the show, success is bound to
crown the efforts of the club.

Extradition Will Not Be Given
Till October.

Chief Crowley received dispatch yes
terday from Detective Crockett that he
would leave Denver last night, as the case
of Mrs. Emma York would not be decided

her with felony embezzIement. The
amount involved is $4,000, which Mrs.
Gibson's husband gave to his mother be-
fore his death and which the widow
Gained was community property.
Crockett left with the necessary papers
for Mrs. York's extradltion. She fought
her extradition and the Judge who heard
the case decided that the evidence was
not sufficient to remand her into custody.
An appeal was taken on behalf of the
people to the United States Appeal Court
and decision will not be given till Octo-
ter in st. Paul, MINI.
Crockett will bring with him Sam Sim
german, commercial traveller, who was
arrested about a week ago on a complaint
sworn to here by Miss Rebecca Casmir,
5l2 Post street, charging him with grand
larceny. Singerman made Miss Casmir's
acquaintance and got from her 5000 worth
OF jewelry and some money 80 start a
cigar-store with. Instead he got woman
to join him here from Los Angeles and
absconded with the jewelry and money.

dredger's yawl last night was dispelled
Schmidt was found on sand spot near
the gauge pier.
Early this morning Captain E. A. Won
Schmidt had crew at work dragging the
creek, but the body was high and dry on
the sand where it had been left by the out
going tide. The arms were under the
body, which was lying face down, and the
fingers plainly showed that cramps had
helped to cause death. Won Schmidt was
remarkably strong swimmer, and also a
trained sailor, and the cause of the acct
dent is still mystery.
All the men In the boat were sailors, and
the manner OF its capsizing was told this
morning by Naujsk to the engineer of the
| dredger. The sailors story was somewhat
disconnected, but the engineer repeated it
thus:
'Naujak told me that the party was
sailing up the creek with the wind nearly
dead aft. In the boat with him were Tom
K. P. Morrison of San Francisco and a
Dane. They were nearly opposite the
feralta-street wharf when a squat struck
the boat her Dow went under and she
sank. Morrison, who was poor SWIM
mer, chung to the mast, which stuck about
foot above the water, and the other three
! started to swim ashore Noujak alone
reached it. He did not wait to send boat
| after Morrison, so l went to see about it.
Morrison was picked up by steamer, but
Won Schmidt and the Dane were drowned -
From the position of his arms ard
hands, said Captain E. a Won Schmidt.
! uncle of the unfortunate man, to-day. 81
believe cramps overlook him. 1t seems a
mystery that such powerful swimmer as
he should drown. The small wound above
his eye may have caused loss of enough
blood to weaken him, but am sure that
he had not that scar in life When thew
found the body ii was within 100 feet Of
where the boat sank. Ii this is where he
went down, and it was probably very near
the spot, the water was not over four feet
| deep at Q clock last night, the time of the
accident"
5. II. Won Schmidt was known as one of
| the strongest swimmers around the bav
| and the opinion prevails along the water
front that he must have caught his foot
| among the wreckage and been unable to
rise TO the surface. IF such were the case
his body must have become free OF the
wreckage after death.
The yawl that went down is an i'll
! fated craft Last season she filled ard
sank between the two piers, but the Grey
were rescued. Won Schmidt used TO boas +

proved unable to weather heavy soualI

more that the Iibelants were at Yoko-

action they were compelled to make their
way back TO America AS best they could
