The San Francisco call., 1897-02-28

The police warrants were handed out
yesterday and Say got his and took it to
the Auditor. Say was astounded when
the Auditor told him he had an order
from Kampe for his warrants for February
and March.
There must be some mistake" said
Say, ''as | never got a cent from a money
broker in my life. Somebody has been
personating me and forging my name."
The Auditor suggested that he should
lay the facts before Chief Crowley and Say
hurried to the Chiefs Office. The Chief
was absent and Say told his story to Ser
geant Moffitt. who is at present acting as
the Chiefs clerk In the absence of Clerk
Healy. Sergeant Moff1tt went with Say
to the Auditor and payment of the Febru
ary warrant was stopr ed pending develop
ments.
Kampe was notified by telephone and he
was very much disgusted TO find that ne
had been duped. He at once admitted
that Say was not the man and furnished
tn police with description of him.
1t is thought that the forger is familiar
with the police and had on some occasions
obtained warrants himself. The police
are working on this supposition.

Then the men warmed up and began to
work. Kenna led to the last lap, but at
the sound of the gong Russ, riding like a

stand winner by a length. Kenna's
chain broke just as he passed the stand.

MAGNET RECEIVERS
HIS OLD SPEED
And Beats Buckwa a Head
in Exceedingly Fast
Time.
The Schrieber Stake Captured
by Estro, a Son of
Flambeau
Mamie Scott Took a Mile Run at
O1ds of 100 to I-Y men the
Only Winning Choice.

The sport at Ingleside track was much
enjoyed by the big crowd in attendance
Yesterday even though it was trifle ierky
and iridescent to sports. 1t was another
banner day for outsiders and the pIungers
apd form players unloaded enough of
their coin to purchase several racetracks.
When Mamie Scott won the third event
of the day at any old price, varying from
go to 100 TO l, the field-book men were
troubled with feeling of ennui that had
scarce worn off when Estro and Lincoln
succeeded in gathering in the two follow
ing races at juicy prices, thus relieving
them OF more surplus casn. There was q
hungry crowd of bettors in tie big ring
and as they became disentangled from
their money like q hoosier at a country
fair, the bookmakers' bank rolls must
have fattened quite extensively. OF all
the seven favorltes sent to the post Ye-
men the aged sprinter alone justified the
confidence reposed in him.
Seldom have four faster Sprinters met
on any track than the quartet that tried
conclusions in the last race of the day, q
six.furlong spin, and the big crowd
patiently abided the time for them to re-
spond TO the bugIe call. Libertine l07
Buckwa 104, Magnet 107 and David 1861
was the collection of speed assem- bled.
Dan Honig's pet Magnet was first chalked
up 8 to choice in the ring, but the
WISE ones figured that he was not up to a
bruising race, and Buekwa carried the
bulk of the big money bet, cutting his
odds from to TO to g. while Magnets
odds receded TO 8 to 5. Six to one was
obtainable against Galen Browns big bay
and II against plain-looking David.
Buckwa was first away from the barrier,
with Magnet trailing about two lengths
behind. Tod Sloan had gentle wrap on
the leader swinging into the stretch and
evidently fancied himself astride the soft
est thing Of the day. Strengthened away
for the wire Slaughter, on Magnet, shook
the chestnut up and coming on with that
electrifying burst of speed he wore down
Buckwa's lead foot by foot and led him
past the judges stand a good head in
1:l315. within quarter OF a second of the
track record, held by Crescendo Eight
lengths away David was given third place
over Hbertine, though it looked as though
the latter secured that position by a head.
The. Schneider stake for two-year-olds at
four furloDgs, worth $500, was another
strong feature of the card. The Spreckels
Stables Imperious and Maxlone were
scra atched, leaving eight to go 10 the post.
Louis EZelI's colt The Cheat, with Nc
Hugh up had first call in the betting at
odds of 7 to 5. A hot tip WAS prevalent on
Thorpe, but he was lame and made no
showing whatever. The race was pro-
ductivs of another surprise, for Estro, a
son OF Flambeau and Sallie G, carrying
the cQors of J. Naglee Burke, headed
.RoXey Murphy in the stretch and defeated
the first choice with comparative ease in
50H seconds. Duke of York II with 40 to l
about him was an Indifferent third.

The first bicycle meet of the Academic

The second was disqualified because none
of the racers came up to the time limit Of
2:40. 1t was Te-run, Blanchard winning
in 2:40 3-5, Cornell second.
BY an error of the timekeepers the bell
was rung on the next to the last lap.
Blanchard came in first. with Cornell sec-
ond, but Blanchard dropped back, think
ing the race was over, and when the bell
rang a second time Cornell crossed the
line winner, with Blanchard second.
1t was on account of this error, thereby
decreasing the speed of the men, that the
time was allowed. When the final was
run Fuller led off, but Blanchard forged
ahead amid the great excitement OF the
schooIboys. Fuller again went to the
head in few more laps and stayed there,
despite the strenuous efforts of the piucky
Blanchard to pass him, winning in $50 As.
Blanchard came second and Cornell third.
In the two-thirds of a mile event the
entries for the first heat were Fuller and
Cornell, l.. II. S., and Boole, G. H. s.. for

favorlte. The winner turned up in Olive,
which receded from to to fours, and
heading her field furlong from the wire,
won with considerable to spare from
Japonica, the Corrigen entry. The fayorlte
was close third.
In the next, q six-furlong selling sprint,
the money went in on Yemen as though 1t
were all over, forcing his odds from to B
down to IL to 10. The contending horse,
Midlo, was left at the post, and the favorite
romped home an easy winner from Bena-
mela. Pat Murphy was close third.
The biggest surprise of the day was the
win of the third event. mile run, by
Mamie Scott, 100 to 1 outsider In the
betting on the twelve starters. Stentor

When the barrier was raised Piggott

The start for the mile handicap was an
unfortunate one, both Argentina and
Moylan being left at the post. They were
second and fourth choices in the betting,
respectively. Installator, in al 100 pounds
with Sam Doggett up, was consistent 8
to choice.
The long shot players backed Flashlight,
carrying SO pound, and they got great
run for their money. The outsider led
the party until past the paddock, where
the fast clip began to tell and he was
nabbed and beaten out half length by
Lincoln II, ridden by 'Pebble" Thomp.
son. Installator was a poor third. The
winner was backed down in the betting
from 10 to 8 to 1.
A deliciously relshabe specimen of the
lobster" species was served to the IngIe-
side associations guests in the mile and a
half hurdle handicap, in the crack jumper
Baby Bill. The "lepper," ridden by J.
Owens and delegated to carry 145 pounds
and pitted against very ordinary lot
was naturally installed an to favorite.
His showing in the race was about the
worst ever made on one of the local tracks,
being taken back to the rear of the bunch
where he stayed and finished. Arundel,
played down to the printers name by the
wise clique, won the affair EASILY from
Governor Budd, a 10 to 1 chance, with old
Dungarven finishing in the show.

Don't Eat Unground Wheat.

Physicians of Mcpherson county,
Kan, report a strange case. Living in
the northeast part of Reno county is a
German farmer, Abraham Kroeger. He
sold his wheat some time ago to the
BUTLER mill and it became necessary to
have it delivered, even though the roads
were heavy and muddy. In taking his
wheat to mill Kroeger was in the habit
of eating wheat. He was continually
picking up a mouthful. He was taken
sick a few days ago and his case baffied
the doctors. Kroeger grew worse. The
doctors being unable to diagnose the
case, and fearing death II no relief was
given, an operation was determined up
on and over O quart of sprouted wheat
taken from the stomach of the old Ger
man. The wheat had not been cracked,
and not passing through the stomach 1t
began to grow. Some of the sprouts
were two inches long. Kroeger is in a
bad shape, and it is doubtful if he will
recover from the operation.

OUTWITS HER FATHER.
How a Georgia Girl Escaped from
the Paternal Rooftree.
Escapes Under a Load of Fodder, with
the Assistance of Her Admirers
Father, and Marries the
Man She Loved.

Minnie Gibby, who recently married
the man of her choice in Texas, is the
kind of girl of whom heroines are
made. Minnie, who is the daughter of
farmer living near Oakley Mill, Ga,
was the sweetheart of Dock Hanye, son
of a neighbor of her father. Mr.. Gibby
and his wife, however, were opposed to
their daughter marrying young Hanye,
and Dock, despairing of gaining their
consent, went to Texas to make his
fortune. Months passed, and Minnie
seemed to have forgotten Dock Hanye.
Her family were completely off their
guard.
Two weeks ago Henry Hanye, the
father, received letter from his son,
inclosing money nnd a request that he
buy ticket and send Minnie to Texas.
The girl consented readily, though she
knew her father would be angry if she
went away. So it was secretly arranged
for old man Hanye to bring her to At
lanta and see her safely on a train.
So, bright and early one morning
last week, before her father was up,
Miss Gibby stole out of her fathers
house and went to the Hayne home,
where Docks father was waiting for
her with his two-horse wagon.
Hanye was thoughtful enough to put
blankets and fodder in the wagon to
conceal the bride-to-be in case of an
emergency. So before starting she
made herself a comfortable bed on the
bottom Of the wagon, and Mr.. Hayne
piled the fodder carefully about her.
Atlanta was 25 miles away.
When Farmer Gibby discovered the
absence of his daughter, he traced her
to Hanye's house. He found that his
had left for Atlanta with his
wagon on important business. Sus-
pecting something was wrong, and that
Hanye was in some way responsible for
