D|EO At A TRACY DANCE,
Sudden Demise of w. ]. Lewis
Put an End to the Even.
iDg's Pleasure.
He Fell to the Floor and Expired
After Participating in
Waltz.

STOCKTON, CAL, Feb. 22.-W. ]. Lewis
of Tracy dropped dead last night at a
dance given by the Tracy Lodge of For
esters. 1t was just at midnight and the
evenings festivities had reached their jol-
liest point when Lewis death put a stop
to the pleasure.
Mosher's orchestra had been playing q
waltz and Lewis had been dancing. AS
the dance ended he stepped to the ball
70 oom door. When he reached it he pitched
headlong to the sidewalk. A number saw
him fall and rushed to his assistance. He
was carried into an adjoining hall and laid
upon table, but he was dead before they
got him there.
The floor manager returned to the
dancers and announced Lewis death, and
the dance at once broke up. although the
affair was TO have lasted until early morn
ing. The deceased was well known and
well liked in Tracy and was member of
the Native Sons and Odd Fellows.

UNFRAMED BRONCOs RIDDEN.
From tiersmen Who Won Fame in
Early Days Participate in the
Rough Events.

PHOENIX, AR1z., Feb. 22.-The closing
day of the carnival proved the most sue
cessful. twenty-five thousand people
were at the park this afternoon to see the
cowboy events. DR.. Carver, the crack
marksman, had the grounds for one hour,
beginning at 2 O'Clock, and when the time
was up his exhibition was only half fin
ished. Then the surging mass of 5000
spectators inside the inclosure was aug
mented by the opening Of the gates, ad-
mitting fully 10000 more.
The cowboy tournament was the great
est ever held on the continent. Eighteen
of the most skilled cowboys in Arizona en-
tered the steer-tying contest. A fifty yard
start was given the steers and the men on
horse back then pursued and lassoed the
animals sing handed. George Sears Of
Phoenix won first money in 4534 seconds,
the fastest record made in the last FIVE
years. The slowest time was five minutes,
and most OF the eighteen cowboys had
roped their animals within minute and a
half.
Bronco-riding followed. The widest
horses of the plains were ridden by clever
vaqueros George FELTON,, the worid-fa-
AliOOo OOWpOy, Ju6 COulGSlS,
while most OF the contestants were men
celebrated in frontier days Half the audi
ence had never before seen these wild
West sights, many having come from New
York, Boston, Chicago and other Eastern
points simply to see the Indian and COW
boy events.
Two candidates for steer-tying honors
met with misfortune. After each had las
seed an animal, their saddle-girths gave
way. The wild steers rushed around the
arena, dragging lariats and saddles and
creating panic among those crowding
around the fence, many OF whom had
crept through. One woman was struck
squarely by maddened steer, but one of
its horns had been knocked off IN fall
previously, so.the woman was not seriously
injured.
Eight thousand men and women partici-
pated in mask ball this evening at the
park, and others attended dances at Gardi-
ner's Hall and Ford Academy. Washing
ton street was blaze of light for miles
The street is 100 feet wide, and electric
lights were stretched few feet apart on
all trolley wires. These, with the lurid
light shed by the carnival decorations of
yellow, red and white, made pictures never
to be forgotten.

ANGRY STOCKTON ATHLETES.

Claim, That They Here Duped by San
Francisco Football aggregation.
STOCKTON, CAL, Feb. 22.-The foot
ball game at Goodwater Grove to-day was
very tame affair. although a large crowd
was attracted by the announcement. The
members OF the Stockton Athletic Club
are about as disguised a crowd of boys to-
night as ever INDUCED in the sport. The
men who went against them were supposed
to be the second team of the Olympics,
but the local men claim that in reality a
picked team of the best players of San
Francisco was pitted against them. The
score stands 2 to nothing in favor of the
San Francisco men.
The strange part of the affair is that q
mum Der of the team, which was supposed
to come from San Francisco, absolutely
refused TO give their names, and the local
men claim that they do not know the
name or identity of some of the men they
went against. The opposing team did not
with but two or three exceptions, wear the
Olympic colors. A mum Der of the regular
local players refused to enter the game al
all and in reality it was farce. Spec
tators, however, witnessed several wild
plays, but not necessarily good ones.
An effort will be made to straighten out
the affair, as the local men believe that
there was some mistake and if. there was
a Job put up on them it was not with the
knowledge and consent of the Olympic
second team.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 22.-Anselmo
Bittencourt, Portuguese, has been ar
rested on serious offense, because he OBJ
iected to allowing Justice Dwyer to per-
form the ceremony which would make
him and Mary Jane Bowen man and wife,
at an unusually late hour last night.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Justice Dwyer
was aroused from his sleep and asked to
go to 342 South Seventh street to perform
a marriage ceremony. The Justice found
everything ready when he arrived.
Two witnesses were present, and the
woman was anxious. but Bittencourt OBJ
iected. After considerable talk and threats
on the part OF the witnesses and the
woman, Bittencourt agreed to marry her
if the ceremony was performed in the
Justices courtroom. The party at once
repaired to the courtroom, but there Bit
tencourt became more obstinate and re-
fused to be made benedict.
Mary Jane Bowen then swore to a war
rant charging Blttencourt with a statu-
tory crime. He was arragned on the
charge and committed to jail in default of
$4,000 bail. Bittencourt declares be will
commit suicide if the woman insists in
prosecuting him.

Willows Thursday night and who escaped
amid a shower of bullets from several off.
GERS at the corner OF Santa Clara and First
streets has been positively identified as
August Halberstadt, alias George Miller
an ex-convict. The authorities received
| information that Miller, as he is more gen.
orally known, had been in this city fo1
several weeks and that he had been seen
IN the vicinity of the robbery early Thurs
day evening. When shown Miller's pic
ture to-day both Mr.. Berryman and Con-
stable Haley Unidentified Miller as the man
wanted.
Miller is a native of Pennsylvania a
cook by occupation and about 4S years OF
age. His criminal history dates back to
January Z, 1882, when he served three
months term in the San Francisco County
Jail for petty larceny under the name OF
August Halberstadt. In June, 1882, he
was committed to San Quentin, from San
Francisco, under the same name, for three
years for burglary in the second degree.
In Oakland, in 1886, he was committed for
four years for burglary in the second de-
gree, and in 1892 he received sentence of
five years for q like offense in San Fran
cisco. He was released from San Quentin
on Novem ber 15, 1895.
Nothing has been learned of the fugi-
tive's whereabouts. Sheriff Lyndon has
forwarded descriptions of the man all over
the State. Miller is regarded as danger
