Joshua Burris Ruled Off the Track
for Questioning Decision Of
the Judges.

good attendance at the races to-day and a
lively interest was manifested. The pro-
gramme was an excellent one. There were
four running events, half mile for two
year-olds, three-quarter mile, five
aighths and a quarter mile. The track
was in excellent shape and the time made
was fairly good.
P T, owned by Owens Bros, aroused
considerable enthusiasm by winning the
race for two-year-olds. He is Fresno
horse and promises well. In the second
race Hollehyoe sold favorite, but Tampa
surprised the talent by leading all the
way and winning the race.
At the conclusion of the last race the
judges ruled Joshua Burris of Hanford,
owner OF Sontag, off the track.
Sontag was left at the post, and the
many others claimed that there was no
distance flag out and that none had been
announced. The judges-F. P. Wicker
sham, w. M. Hughes and Lee Shaney-
remained firm in their ruling. and Burris
became abusive. He told them that they
could not rule sheep, whereupon he was
ruled off the track. 1t is understood that
the matter will be patched up amicably in
the morning.

former home was Canton, Ohio, and his
reference to Mckinley as having been his

PASADENA, CAL, Oct forest fires
are seen on the flont range of the Sierra
Madre again tonight. The flames are
several miles from the Mount Lowe prop
erty, with canyon intervening, so there
is no immediate danger. and as the County
Supervisors are to send twenty-five men
up tomorrow morning they will probably
be able to check the confagration.
The ten men who went up Browns
Mountain yesterday from this city did not
succeed in checking the flames. They
could get no water up there and the blind
ing. suffocating heat and smoke was too
much for them. They came down to-
night, leaving the fire on the front range
burning. The other men are several miles
back, fighting the fire on the other side.
The Teiunga fires seem to be working
west. The San Gabriel Canyon fire is
greater than yesterday, and is now only
a few miles above Azusa. Nothing has
been done to check it.
