ALMOST A ROBBERY.
L. Radovich Makes the Acquaintance
of a Pair of Foot
pads.

About O'Clock last night L. Radovich
OF the firm of Radovich & Urhlandt. at
present engaged as q mining engineer, was
attacked at the corner OF Stockton and Pa
cific streets by couple OF men evidently
looking for plunder. One OF the men ad-
dressed Mr., Radovich by name, offering to
accompany him nome. Mr. Radoyich de-
cilned the offer OF the mans company, and
was about 10 proceed on his way when the
taller OF the two men endeavored TO ab-
straet gold watch and $50 which we're in
Nj. Radovich's vest pocket.
Radovich shouted for the police, and
passers-by ran TO his assistance, and then
the would-be robbers fed, one toward
Chinatown and the other out Pacific street.

a feature of the days sport was the
starting. MIR. Caldwell was seen at his
very best, and sent his fields away in
grand style, calling forth praise from all

The card looked an easy one to pick

turned the tide of III luck by taking the
last event OF the day backed down from 2

Eleven maiden three-year-olds furnished
some rare guessing in the opening event

215 to l fayorite, with Big c. ief strong

stun play cut the odds against Mr.. Reel

Clara Wilson was the first to show after
the flag fell, followed by Wyoming, who
passed Red Pike, taking second place.
This order was unchanged into the stretch,

out for trip to Cocos Island the knowing
ones said ii was harebrained venture. The
captain had visions OF buried treasures in
his minds eye and he paid no attention to
warnings. He and his assistant were told
over and over again that instead OF find
ing buried treasures among the sandhilis
OF Cocos they would find q watery grave.
They laughed at tie prophets and the
Hayseed in due time reached the island,
but the treasure has not been found,
although Cocos has been tunneled from
all the points of the compass.
The voyage of the Gertrude is somewhat
similar to that of the Hayseed. She also
Will be used IN the search for buried
treasure, but, unlike the Havseed, the
master and his man know lust where the
precious metal Is located. The little scow
IS owned by the Ybarra Gold Mining
Company OF Santo Domingo, and if she
ever reaches that point Will be used as
tender between the mines and the open
roadstead, in which the larger vessels
owned by the concern viii anchor.
fhe Gertrude is only 20 feet long and
about IL feet broad. She is squarer at the
bow than she is at the stern and is cutter
rigged. She is very light and buoyant,
and her master has such faith in her that
he has been soliciting frei ght. In her
miniature torehold there is a considerable
quantity Of railroad iron, and an attempt
was made Yesterday afternoon to put
seventy kegs of nails aboard.
These sank her so deep in the water,
however, that Captain Bornego came to
the conclusion that discretion was Il e
better part OF yalor, so he put them ashore
again. The little cabin is both galley,
forecastle and cabin, and in it will be
stored all the provisions and water. There
IS only room Tor one man at time to
move around in 1t, so that il is lucky that
either the captain or mate Will always be
at watch on deck.
In talking about the trip yesterday Cap
tain BornegO said: There is no danger

have been shipped TO the latter place had
it not been for the fact that it is an open

The Gertrude has attracted a great deal

CLARKE TESTIFIES.
The Wounded Cashier Tells His Story
of the Ingleside Rob-
harv.

Reuben Clarke. cashier of the bar at the
Ingleside track, who was robbed OF the
Christmas day receipts, gave his testimony
last night before Judge Low. 1t will be
remembered that the witness was shot in
his left foot before he let go of the pouch
containing the money, and since then he
has been at private hospital on Eddy
street under treatment for his injuries.
Clarke said that the car upon which he
was returning to town was stopped ny a
tall man, whose face was covered with q
mask. In answer 10 question by Prose
cutting Attorney Mogan Mr. Clarke gave
description which seemed TO tally with
the general appearance OF the defendant
Gardner. He said there were other men
IN the background, but he could not de-
scribe them.
He also identified the leathern money!
pouch found near the Olympic Saltwater
Pumping Company's pier as the one
which was taken from his custody.
Upon being croSS-examined by Messrs
Tobin and Ashe Mr.. Clarke said he thought
the man who stopped the car was about
two inches shorter than Detective Gibson.
Since Gardner IS hall inch taller than
the detective the defense hopes TO clear
him on this statement
