Murphy and Colds
worthy Win Both
Races.
The Outsiders Won Easily


There was more excitement during the
two races at the Park ice rink last even
ing than has been seen at any OF the
events this winter and the races were
be ter than any which have taken place
so far this season. Both races were hot
ly contested and, although the finish was
not very close in either event, there was
no resemblance Of fake in either race
and the crowd was more than pleased
with the races. The attendance was un-
usually large and included a number
from Lake Linden and Hancock who had
come TO cheer Goldswortby and Murphy.
The Calumet boys were done up to the
Queens taste in both races, Goldswortby
defeating Swykert and Murphy winning
easily from Dayey.
The first race was called ABOUT $50.
when Swykert and Goldsworthy took
their positions. Goldsworthy got the
lead in the start and kept it for three or
four laps, Sgy kert keeping close behind
him. Goldsw ortby, however. gradually
began to forge ahead and in few laps
caught him. Goldsworthy's time was
3:40h aud he skated very pretty race
Swykert also put up a good r-ce. but
was clearly out-class.d. Swykert's de-
lest is attributed 10 lack OF practice, as
this is the only race he skated 10 this
year.
The race between Murphy and Dayey
was one OF the best erentS ever pulled off
in the rink, and, although Murphy won
without any trouble, the race was ve'y
exciting The conditions we're that MUIR
ply should run 81 laps while Davey
skated l3 laps, the mile. Murphy had
too much OF a handicap and although
Davey skated very fast race he was
beaten almost a full lap. Murphy's time
was 3:22k
Neil Hume, Martin Messner and Ed
Corbeil acted AZ judges and Will Monroe
was starter.
Davey was seen in regard to Troyer's
challenge and -ayshe will go to the 500
to skate Troyer for d purse il his ex penses
are guaranteed. or il Troyer will come
here and race him for purse be will pay

A FISTIC ENCOUNTER
A Member of the School Board Comes
Out Second Best

An exciting fistic encounter between
A. P. Busseret and Mr.. McInerny, mem
ber of the board of education, took place
near the corner of Alameda and Com
mercial streets yesterday afternoon.
The men met at that point and engaged
in a heated dispute. Busseret accused
McInerny of being the cause of the dis
missal of Miss Horgan, one Of the school
teachers who was recently dropped from
the roll. He charged that the directors
action had been prompted by the fact
that the young ladys father voted
against McInerny when he was candi-
date for reelection to the school board
When the charge was denied McInerny
was requested to append his name to a
petition asking to have Miss Horgan re-
instated. He emphatically refused to
do this, whereupon both men began ad-
dressing epithets to each other which
could hardly be considered choice in their
selection. They wound up by engaging
in lively set-to, in which the member
of the school board came out second
best. Quite crowd gathered, and the
fun lasted for several minutes. When
the fight was called off Mr.. McInerny
was lying in the mud upon his back in
anything but dignified position. He
was bleeding from scalp wound which
he had received by falling against the
curb. At this stage friends interfered
and got the combatants away without
any further difficulty.

BILLY PHELAN. TO BRACE UP
An Old Jail Bird Takes Resolutions
of Good Intention

Billy Phelan is going to shake the dust
of Los Angeles from his feet. 1t is hard
ly necessary to explain who Billy Phelan
is. Every police officer and every one
connected with the police courts will at
once be reminded by the name of slight
youth of rs years who has spent almost
the entire past ten years either in Jail
here or within the walls of San Quentin
or Folsom. For years he served term
after term in the old city Jail, now for
vagrancy and then for petty larceny.
Finally he branched out into another line
Of crime and was arrested by Detective
Auble on charge Of burglary. The evil
dence was of the most convincing nature
and Phelan was sent over the road to
Folsom for term of two and half
years.
He got out on short time and returned
to this city almost Immediately falling
in with his old companions and in the
same old habits which had kept him in
trouble ever since he was fifteen years
old. He had acquired the morphine
habit and was hardly ever free from the
influence of the drug, which he took in
cessantly. 1t was the same story of
petty crime and short terms in the city
prison ranging from ten days to hun
dred days at time. Every officer knew
him and when any thieving was done he
was always at once suspected.
Less than year ago Phelan burgar-
lied the house Of Tom Cuddy on Wash
ington street and got away with lot
Of silverware. Detective Bradish
worked up the case against him and the
youthful ex-convict was again sent over
the road to San Quentin for a year. He
was released on parole about week
ago and is now again in Los Angeles.
Last night he called at the police sta
ton to see the "boys' as he refers to
the officers who have helped him to spend
SO many years within prison walls.
1--WE come up to say goodbye to you,"
he said, walking up to the desk and
speaking to Clerk Gridley. I'm going
to leave and 1 intend to straighten up
and be a man." Phelan walked around
and chatted with the other officers.
When he came to Detective Bradish he
said: 'Well, I've got enough of this
life in Jail and am going to try it outside
awhile. I've made up my mind that it
doesn't pay and 1 intend to keep out Of
it,"
T7helan mas secured place on boat
that sails for British Columbia in few
days, and he expects to start in life anew
on the vessel. THAT last trip to San
Quentin did me lots of good" he said
1T cured me of the morphine habit.
am going to stay with the boat for a
year. When I start in 1 am going to
imagine that I've got years sentence,
and I'll make myself think that Pm in
prison all the time. Then if 1 think of
running away I'll just believe that I'm
going to be shot down if try it. In that
way L guess I'll be able to stay.
Phelan is bright fellow if he would
turn his talents in the direction of some
honest pursuit. He is in earnest in his
intention to brace up and the officers be-
lieve that he will stick by his resou-
ton.

A CURTAIN FIRE
Creates Considerable Excitement On
Broadway

The fire department was called out to
to the corner of Third and Broadway al
o'clock yesterday afternoon in response
to telephone alarm, from the Kaweah
lodging house on Third street opposite
The Herald office. The fire started
from the overturning of a lamp by a
woman who was curling her hair in one
of the rooms. A lace curtain at the
window caught fire, and this was hur-
riedly torn away and thrown through the
open window, falling on the sign board
over Getz's tailoring establishment.
where it burned up. The fire was out
before the department arrived. No
damage was done. AS hose wagon No. 8

way one of the rear axles broke off; let
ting the wagon down upon the pave
ment. There was no particular strain
on the wagon at the time, and the break
down resulted from flaw in the axle.

BLACKMAN RESIGNS

In the official calendar Of the church It
is announced that Blackman has resign
ed, ard that N. S. Averill is his successor.
The shortage is gradually creeping up
as the experts continue the examination
of the books, and it is almost certain
that the amount will aggregate at least
$4,000.

pany, has sworn to another complaint
against Blackman, this time the amount
being $1,000.

welcome, having to respond to an en-
core to the coon lullaby which she in
troduced in the third act She had a
lively part to fill as the jealous wife,of

her usual vivacity and grace. Nina
Gleason and Norval McGregor carried
out their respective parts with credit
to themselves and the satisfaction Of
their hearers. The rest of the characters
were well sustained.
The piece is well staged, an exception
ally pretty bit of scenery being afforded
in the last act when the Niagara Falls
are seen in the background.
The company, all told, is capable
one, and Oracle Plaisted alone is suffic-
lent to keep the action lively and the
audience amused There is every pros
pect of the house doing more success

from appearances last night, the right
lead has been struck. "The Fast Mail"

in a poetic and fascinating little love
story. The first, in recitative, illustrates
the declaration, the second dainty and
melodious little love song, suggests the
acceptance, and the third, a scherzo IN
