8 wa!k-over for the Polytechnic SCHOOL,
and if the form of the players will count
for ny,hing, they have good chance to
carry off the pennant. A mixed double
was partially played also with Baker and
Adams pitted against Morton and Craig.
The one set resulted in victory for Baker
and Adams. The Polytechnic School was
we'll represented, but only a few mem bers
of the Alameda University came across
the bay to witness the games. but it is
thought the crowds will increase as the
games become more interesting.
This is the first year the schools have
resorted to tennis for their usual yearly
tournaments, and much interest will un-
douhtedly result in the new undertaking.
The competitors will be from the Lowell
High School, the Berkeley and Oakland
High Schools and the Belmont Military
Academy. 1t is whispered that the Oak
| land team Is bound to win, with the Poly
| technics a close second.
The lovers of the sport seem to be de-
lighted at the new interest taken In the
games and look forward to many exciting
contests during the aeason. No definite
programme has been arranged for the
High School tournament, hui it is thought
that the Oaklands will meet the Polytech-
mics next Saturday, as we'll as having the
mixed double plays yesterday drawn to
close. The tournament will consist prin-
cipally of singles, as the players seem to
be able to do better work on the single
court than otherwise.

SHOT INTO A BEDROOM.
Mrs. King Thought Some Miscreant
Was Bent on Taking Her
o. Life

OAKLAND. CAL, Oct. 2,-Some Chinese
who were practicing with a pistol in an
orchard at Haywards a few nights ago
caused Mrs. Manuel King TO believe that
seme one intended TO kill her.
About s O'clock in the evening Mrs.
King, who lives near the planning mill,
was preparing to retire and was standing
in front of bureau near The window.
She had just moved from the front of the
bureau when pistol bullet crashed
through window and lodged in ward
robe right in line with the spot from
which she had just moved.
The frightened woman believed some
one had made an attempt 10 kill her. and
reported the matter 10 Marshal Ramage.
The marshal made a thorough investiga-
ton, and learned that some Chinese who
lived near the King mouse frequently
PTacticed with pistols in an adjoining
orchard, and tnat they were practlcing at
the time Mrs. King was SO badly
frightened. 1t was impossible for the
marshal to discover the guilty party, but
he has served warning that no more pistol

-dences.

90S broadway. Oct. 2.
Councilman Girard has been for many
years desirous OF getting at the founda-
ton OF the insplration-or whatever it is
that enables mediums to do their peculiar
tricks. Some time ago he invited a little
coterie OF bankers ana newspaper men to
his house to have a private seance with q
well-known medium. He, with others,
was convinced by various bruises on their
heads, that they had certainly been
struck by material things flying through
the air, but be was no nearer converted
han before that it was the work of
spirits.
Recently there came to town a man
named Ellmirt, who declared that there is
not any kind of mystery he cannot ex-
pose and explain. Al Stilyell, the we'll
known theatrical manager, decided to
give the newcomer test, and noon to-
day was the time fixed for the demonstra-
ton.
AT that time Ellmirt was taken TO the
office of the Chief of Police and locked up

out, followed by a crowd OF wheelmen.
They drove all around town by all kinds
OF circultous routes, dismoun,ed at the

along the basement and back into the
buggy. They then shaped their course TO
large store on Broadway, and going int to
the basement they hlo small article in

Hall.
The distinguished gentleman went to
the Chief of Policies Office and found ELL
mirt, who had been under guard slI the
time. They covered his head with all
nds OF Dandages and then released him.
Elimirt rushed through the City Hall
with The gentlemen hard after him. He
ran downstairs, avoiding obstacles with
as much care as though there were not a
bandsge on his head. He jumped in the
buggy, took the reins, and with the five
gentlemen, and DR.. Woolsey on his horse,

turned ont of the way of vehicles and even
drove on the same side of the roads as the
people had done while he was locked up.
Arriving at the county buildings he got
out aud went through the buildings and
basement just as the gentlemen had done
an hour previously.
He then returned to the buggy, dashed
up Broadway, stopped to make turn for

done before, and then dashed up Broad

article was hidden. Without moment s
hesitation he ran through the store. down

His bandages were then taken off and
they all admitted that il was certainly one
of the most peculiar experiences in their
lives. Ellm!rt says that it was merely a
case of acute mind reading, but is was
sufficiently mystifying to furnish material
for gossip for Oakland tor the rest of the
day.
