church any stronger, but caused a divis-

end he was literally forced 10 resign from
the church.
when he became an Episcopalian it
was sait to have been only spite work
and he was not at all regretted. That he
was fond of the good things of life | did
not hear until after he lett us, and then
one or two of the brethren said they had
seen him at various times when he was
feeling overly jolly. 1t is rumored among
the brethren tnat he would like to come
back to the old church. His father, Rev.
David Walk, is a Christian minister and
has charge of one our missions in Los
Angeles, and that started it, | suppose.
Then, too, he has called several times
upon some of US whom he has not called
upon since his going over to the other
church. Once or twice he was accom-
panied by his father who said that Mr.,
Walks sermons were still Christian and
not Episcopal. II is thought that he knew
the storm was coming, and that he was
feeling around to see what the chances
were IN the Christian church.

It Is Rumored That He

Old Love.
The Christians Were Glad to Get

They Claim That he Was Forced
Out of the Christian Church
in San Jose.

The "Christians" OF this city deny that
they were sorry when George Edward
Walk deserted their ranks and became an
Episcopalian. On the contrary, they fear
that George Edward would not be at all
averse to coming back TO his old love,
the CHRISTIAN church. Furthermore, they
are going to use every precautioD TO pre-
vent that event ever taxing place. They
say that he started out with everything
in his favor, but some way he never stayed
long In one place, and he was forced out
of the Christian church.

best known Christian ministers In the
city, in an interview on the subject, said ::

WORSE YET FOR
JACK O'BRIBu
Desper ate Ruhan Strongly
Suspected Of Another
Crime.
Believed to Have Been the As
sailant of Mahan on Sun
day Night.
The Police Have Obtained Sufficient
Evidence to Connect Him With
the Dastardly Deed.

Jack" O'Brien. the desperate criminal
who was arrested last Tuesday night for
having held up the proprietor of a grocery
store in the Mission, Will have 10 answer
to another char.e.
He is strongly suspected OF being the
man who last Sunday night shot frank
Mahan, machinist, in the left leg, after
Iobbing him OF watch and chain and a
small amount OF money.
Mahan was walking along Chann ell
street, and when near Sixth he was ac-
costed by an evil-looking stranger. who at
the point of pistol ordered him TO throw
up h is hands.
Mahan did as requested, when the rob-
Der searched his pockets, taking his val
uables. With the remark that he would
''fill him with holes" if he made an out
cry the robber LETT his victim and started
10 walk away.
After walking some distance Mahan,
who was provided with a police whistle,
Justly blew it.
"P teach you to keep STILL" shouted
the robber, who had followed Mahan, evil
IDENTIFY divining that he would raise an
outcry. you would make GOOD subject
Tor the Coroner"
Suiting the action to the word, the rob-
ber raised his revolver and fired.
The bullet struck the unfortunate ma
chinist in the leg, making serious
wound. With cry OF pain Mahan sank
to the ground ana the robber fled.
Mahan's cries for help attracted the at
tention of police officer, who at once had
him removed to the Receiving Hospital.
Since then he has been confined 10 his
room from the effects Of the wound.
Since the arrest of O. Brien Detectives
Ryan and O'Dea have been making
thorough investigation, with the result
that they have found sufficient evidence
to connect him with the shooting of
Mahan.
Yesterday they visited the wounded
man, and when shown picture OF o brien
he readily recognized him as The robber.
While l had but poor look at
hm on account of the darkness.
he is said to have remarked. Il am con-
vinced that he is the right man." To-day
if Mahan's condition is improved he Will
be asked to visit the CITY Prison for the
purpose OF identifying the supposed
victim.
o. Bren, according to the police. is a
hard character. He has been convicted
on numerous occasions, and at one time
served six mouths sentence in the
House OF Correction for petty larceny.

Rival Candidates Commander George Thomas Post G. A.

Since the memorable contest between
General W. II L. Barnes and Colonel J.
G. Giesting for the honor of commanding
George IL. Thomas Post No. there has
been a monotony of peace in Grand Army
circles of San Francisco. The peace has
now terminated. There are two capdi-
dates in the field for commander of
Thomas Post. Murray Bailey and Will
liam +. Lutz
j. Murray Bailey, the senior vice-com-
mander, has an excellent military record.
He enlisted in the Eighth New York Ar
tllery early in 1868 to serve for three
years. At the end of his enlistment he
was under eighteen years OF age. He par
tcipated in the battles of the Wilderness,
Spottsylvanis, Cold Harbor and other
noted engagements of the great campaign.

was shattered by bullet. The surgeons

The Williams Boots controversy has
finally been brought to a close.
At the conclusion of the racing at Oak

president of the California Owners and
Breeders Protective Association, met
Thomas H Williams Jr. and Colonel Dan
Burns in private conference and the little
misunderstanding which has existed be-
tween these representative turfmen for
some days and has teceived considerable
airing in the press, was adjusted to the
complete satisfaction of all concerned.
Mr.. Boots stated that he regretted some
of the differences that had occurred, and
his explanation was received by the Cali
fornia JOCKEY Club officials in the same
friendly feeling with which it was given.

also welcome at both tracks, and will 60

which was rendered useless for work, was
not lost. Mr.. Bailey has more than a
good military record to commend him.
He graduated with honor from the Uni
versity of Rochester as the poet OF his
class. He is handsome, we formed AID
decidedly military in his bearing. He is
a mining engineer by profession and came
to San Francisco eighteen years ago.
William E. LItZ, who was placed in re-
nomination bv many comrades of the post
because thev believed his progressive ener-
gies and abilities would advance the or
ganization, has war record of which he
may be proud. He served under the flag
on land ana sea. In June, 1868. he en-
listed in the Twentv-second Regim ent
New York State Militia, and served
through the Pennsylvania campaign and
the New YORK riots. In March 1864 be
