Shows the Way to Al.
Through the Coursing
Stake.
White Lily Pulls Down the
Consolation Feature
Handily.
A Day of Sensational Sprinting and
Many Upsets to the
Talent.

It is q recognized tradition among leash
men that when :he so-called "beaten"
dogs run there is a strong likelihood OF
some hing sensational in the way of
courslng. The tradition has yet to be
contuted. Over 5000 people yesterday
went to the dogs" or, putting it less
harshly, attended the coursing al Ingle-
side Park. and there was never moment
throughout the day when any one of the
vast mum Der felt it safe to predict win
ner with absolute certainty.
The chief feature of the card vas the
running off Of the ties of the stake begun
on Saturday, III which there still remained
one half OF the original entries. Then
there was a consolation stake made up of
twelve of the fliers less fortunate on Sat
urday. and both included performers
capable of raising an aurora borealis It al
most any stage of the sport.
In the chief event the first of these came
when the clever Susie, on the short end,
put out the recently uncovered younSster
Sylvanus. Sylvanus is a rafting discov-
cry. He led from the slips by what is
sometimes dubbed a ''block" But Susie
caught him, and thereafter he was at no
ime in it. Occidental also did much OF
the same work. In his course with Tessie
Fair lie was on the short end, but after an
'undecided" he turned the maid toward
her kennels with comparative ease. Again
the talent looked upon him as a dead sure
loser in his course against Old Glory. He
romped ahead and was never doubtful
from the slips.
Another "short" that hit the knowing
ones hard was At Last. Against Magic
he sold awfully short, but there was
nothing Of the sort lacking in his work
He turned Magic down as he might a
staghound.
Besides these the short-end players
| also landed on Harkaway against Victor
and Old Glory against Joy Bells.
In the Consolation stake there were
likewise divers upsets. In the very first
course Valley Maid at and 4 to / fell
before Ell Dorado. Then White Lily put
out the 10 l favorite Nelly 3 and later
she followed it up by running two un-
de cdeds with Mohawk in the final and in
the eni she won Doth the struggle and
the stake.
In justice to Sylvanus it must be stated
| that lis defeat by Susie may have been
due in measure to bite which he re-

ceived on the leg last Thursday night,
while Joy Bells overthrow was to be al
tributed to the grueling work she sus-
tanned Saturday, when. after winning, she
scared up Two extra haTes. These, how
ever, like the other overthrows, are but
the elements OF couIsing.

ROUNDING Up
PICKPOCKETS
Old Man Broulette, Arrested
in the Emporium, the
Head Of the Gang.
His Son James Captured While
Leaving the City Prison
After Visit.
He Called to See Two Of the Suspects,
Murray and Talbot, and Was
Recognized by an Officer.

The gang of pickpockets infesting the
city is being gradually decreased in num-
bers one more having been added yester-
day afternoon to the list in the City
Prison.
About ten days ago John Broulette an
old man, was arrested in the Emporium
for picking a lady's pocket. Owing To his
extreme age and his plea that he was
compelled 70 steal because he was too old
to get work Judge Low, last Wednesday,
let him off with a charge of petty larceny
and six months in the County Jail.
The officers employed at the Emporium
to look out for sneakthieves and pick
pockets knew that the old man had a con-
iederate, but although they kept careful
watch for him they could not catch him.
A tail young man had been for several
days calling at the City Prison to see Vic
tor Murray. the pickpocket arrested a
week ago yesterday for stealing a purse
from Miss Jane Van Meier while she was
leaving the First Congregations Church,
and Yesterday afternoon he called to see
Alvin Talbot, who was arrested Saturday
for stealing a purse containing $14 20 AT
Clay and Sansome streets from Mrs. l..
Rosenburg, 172l Clay street.
Special Officer Con Kelly happened to
man came out, and he promptly placed
him under arrest. Kelly had been in the
Emporium and had noticed the tall young
man working the crowd with the old man
| Broulette.
Kelly took the tall young man back to
| prison. He said his name was James
Broulette and acknowledged that he was
u sou of the old man now serving his
| sentence oi six months.
Young Broulette claimed that he was
employed at the Russ House as porter
| and night clerk. Inquiry at the Russ
! House ELECTED the information that Brou-
| lette is not known there and had never
| been employed there in any capacity.
| From the fact that he called at the
| prison 70 see the two pickpcckets, Muir
ray and Talbot, and that he was seen in
! the Emporium with his father, the police
believe that they are all mem bers OF a
! gang of piekpOCkets banded together 10
rob people during the holiday season.
Young Broulette was locked up in 1.-THE
tanks" pending further inquiries as TO his
antecedents
The police say that old BrouIette was
one of the smartest pick pockets that ever
| operated in the city, and they believe now
that he was the head of the gang of which
his son, Murray, Talbot and others are
mem bers.

graves by the Coroner's juries as suicides.
The Investigations which have been
carried on by the Coroner Ter the last Few
days has developed the fact that the gas
carries an exceedingly deadly poison, and
that a few minutes under rs influence
causes certain death. The Coroner IS yet
uncertain ii ANYTHING can be done to
remedy the deadly quality of the gas, and
so prevent many OF the deaths that are
attr buted 70 accidents from neglect or de-
teCtIve gas fixtures. During the time the
Coroner was m aking his Investigations of
the death-deaIing poison that lurks IN the
gas Jet, his attention was called TO the
practice OF many of the proprietors OF tha
cheap lod gint-houSes in turning oil the
gas at the meters OF their places a about
midnight, after their lOdgers had retired,
to save the expense OF the light bills, and
turning IL on again earlv in the morning
so that light can be gwen them TO dress
and prepare for the days Work.
1t i not infrequent for a person 10 drop
as eep at night with the gas burning, and
If any one should do 50 IN one OF those
houses the probabilities are that the coro-
ner would be called upon to attend to an
alleged case of suicide where no motive
could be found TO give the Jury any reason
why the act had been committed. The
iuries in such cases are glad to get through
with the investigation and they willingly
agree that the deceased took his own lie
and file out of the coroner's Office, making
I themselves believe that they have done
} their duty as citizens in reaching verdict
ana dispOsing of the case with so little
trouble.
Coroner Hawkins now says there will

In a few charges OF manslaughter being
