HE WANTED A RIDE
In Looking for Horsethief an Officer
Makes a Discovery

Mounted Officer Woodward made a
capture over on Boyle Heights last
night, bringing to the station an urchin
of wears and three feet stature, who
| proved to have been a party for whom
| the police were looking all day.
About noon yesterday C. w. Leonarl.
| employed by J. D. Hooker & Co.. left
| sorreI horse, attached to light top
buggy. hitched in front of the firm s
place of business at 132-1S4 south Los
Angeles street. When Leonard finally
went for his rig it was gone. He gave
immediate notification to the police and
a search was instituted. AS no trace of
the missing rig had been found up 10
7.3o in the evening, when the night
watch of police went out all We're
warned to be on the lookout for the dar-
ing horsethief
About $3.50 the rig was discovered tied
. in the rear of a barn on the premises at
No. 1714 East Seventh street, and snug
" wrapped up in the laprobe sleeping
in the bottom of the buggy was the des-
perate criminal.
To the officer the little lad gave his
name as Victor Stowell and age as 8, al
though he looks scarcely 6. He told
several contradictory stories as to how
ne came into possession Of the horse and
buggy. He lived at the corner of Ma
teo and Palmetto streets, and his father
was an engine wiper in railroad round
house.
At first he said he was afraid of his
stepnI0ther and had run away from
home then few minutes later said his
stepmother had died and been buried
Sunday and that he had no place to go.
He had been given the horse and bug
gy by some man, yet finally said it be-
longed to his father, who had allowed
him to use it. He was escorted to the
station and the hungry and thirsty ami
NAL was taken to a stable.
On inquiry being made at the cornar
OF Mateo and Palmetto streets Victor's
statements were found to have foun-
dation of truth. He has stepmoth1r
and his father is employed in the round
house. His mother said that Victor WAS
a wild lad and had run away from home
on Saturday last, since which time
neither she nor his father had seen
him. What possessed the child to climb
into the buggy and drive away she could
not tell,

IN SOCIETY

A very pretty but quiet home wedding
occurred yesterday evening at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Desmond, when
their daughter, Miss May Desmond, was
united in marriage to Mr. Alexander NJ
Shields, by the impressive Catholic cere-
mOny. The house was most effectively
decorated in quantities of green and
pretty flowers. In the drawing-room,
where the service took place, were cos
mos and pink roses. A tennis net inter-
woven with smilax and dainty blossoms
was gracefully draped in the bay win
dow. In the background were potted
plants and ferns. The mantel of the
back room was banked in green, with a
profusion Of flowers giving q dash of
color to the groundwork. A collation. was
served at the conclusion of the ceremony.

The bride wore a becoming travelling
gown, with hat to match. Mr.. and Mrs.

The victory Of Jasper Ayres, an old IA
vorite, N the 2:14 trot was very popular,
though Mamie Griffin from the first
found many admirers. whom after her
first splendid showing she sadly disap-
pointed. The first heat of this race
proved to be the finest struggle Of the
day, many believing it to have resulted
in a dead heat and the issue lying in
doubt until the judges made their deci-
sion. AS the dusk descended upon the
track, when large proportion of the
spectators had wended their way home,
the Perkins gelding finally asserted his
supremacy. Jennie Nc, a handsome bay
filly, had things all her own way in the
2:2O pace. Mr.. Durfee has in her. very
likely youngster. The single exhibition
of the Australian gate" did not prove
as great success as anticipated, the
horses being nervous of the apparent
obstacle. No doubt, when they become
Injured to the novelty. its ingenuity and
economy of time and patience will be
appreciated. The Los Angeles Derby
went to the favorite, but very likely
horse from the Santa Anita stables, ,Ales-
saidio, was badly left from the start and
considering the amount of ground he
picked up, would certainly have proved
dangerous under other conditions. Cor
doya captured the maiden plate at six
furlongs and was very cleverly ridden.

The sole attention Of visitors yester-
day was devoted to the racing, the usual
attachments not being in evidence The
arrangements on the whole were excel
lent and the card was dispatched with
praiseworthy promptitude, Senator Rose
manipulating the beh and insuring a
rapid succession of interest. The only
complaint audible was from the press
box; totally inadequate accommoda-
tion is furnished those who have duties
to perform and are severely handicap
ped tn their performance from lack of
elbow room. There were at least eight
or nine representa- tives Of newspapers
present but there were only five chairs
in the press box and very uncomfort-
able SQUEEZE at that.
Today'will be ladies' day, all the gen.
tier sex being welcomed without admis-
sion fee. An interesting card is pre-
pared, two running and two gentle
mems road races. For all four events
large fields are entered and keen compe-
tition is expected. The excellence Of the
program should insure large attend
ance.
The officials yesterday were: Judges,
Senator l.. J. Rose. Capt. J. c. Newton
- Capt. George Hines; timekeepers.

olds. one mile Prince Hooker and Miss
Pollard were scratched. The entries
were Emma r.. Alessaidio, Don Pho Pico,
Rebellion and GratE. The field seemed
distinctly shy of the starting gate"
which was tried for the first time on
Southern California racing track, and
only a poor start was the result, Ales-
saidio being left at the post. Don Pho
Pico at once made the running. leading

race was light, Grady selling fevorite

SECOND RACE.
The second race. maiden plate, SIX
furlongs for 2-year-olds, brought out
full field. There was some lively specu-
lation on this race, the field selling IA
vorite, Ell Venado and Cordova finding
many friends. A better start was ef-
fected than under the Australian gate.
Minta owen forged ahead, which posi-
ton she held to the straight. when Web
Der brought Cordova to the front and
won very handily by half length from
Sharon Lass, Valdos finishing third. The
time was 1:1619. At the quarters "a and

THE AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
Despite the fact that exhibitors were
urged to have their exhibits in place by
the opening day, there was the usual de-
lay, and the pavilion presented scene
of chaos, but very few Of the displays
being in place. This, 1t is believed, will
be remedied today, by which time It is
thought that most Of the exhibits will be
in place. The pavilion is in charge Of

Monday evening Dana Geyer. who for
some time has been i'm the employ of the
Joseph Speidel Grocery Company. and
Charles Gibson. native of near Clays-
vile. Pa, who was I'm the employ of the
Company UP TO about last August, we're
arrested on a warrant issued by Justice
Phillips, charging them with obtaining
goods under false pretenses, and were
committed TO Jail for hearing Friday.
The matter has been hanging fire for
some time and has been well known in
newspaper circles for at least ten days
A week ago last Friday Geyer was sus-
pected of being crooked. along with Glib
son. and was arrested and taken TO police
headquarters, but AN explanation was
made at that time which was satisfactory
an around, and there was no prosecution.
il is now alleged that within half an hour
after Geyer was arrested ON that occa-
sion, DE was engaged i'm crooked trans

The mode of operation. as learned yes

firm In the city. TO send five hundred or
thousand cigars, gross of patent medi-
cine or amy other thing which could be
easily handled and disposed of. to the
Joseph Speidel Company at once. as
customer was waiting. or giving some
other excuse. OFTEN the goods would. be
sent by boy or other messenger, and
Geyer would meet the messenger on the
way. with "a reproof for being slow. take
the goods and bin from him. and hurry
away. Instead of turning the goods over
to- the Grocery Company, however it is
alleged that they would either he slowed
away somewhere or handed over 10 Glib
son. who would dispose of them himself
or as soon as Geyer could join him. and
the proceeds would be divided. How long
this sort of thing has been going on, or
what the total amount OF the frauds is,
