The Story of What Happened to a

Lucy Mary's elbows expressed right

her face wore a sort of I'm your good

ON COAST DIAMONDS.
A Fourteen Inning Game at Fresno
and Oakland Boys Kick.

| FRESNO. May 22.-One of the best
and most exciting games of baseball
ever played on the home diamond, and
| probably on any other diamond, was
played here this afternoon between the
Fresnos and Oaklands.
After fourteen innings had been
played neither side being able to gain
a lead Oakland took exception to
ruling of the umpire and left the dia-
mond the score standing to 3.
Fresno was given the decision by a
score of 9 to o.
In the last half of the fourteenth in
ming Fresno had two men on bases
with none out and Held at bat. He
bunted a ball few feet in front Of
him and was thrown out at first, while
the two men on bases advanced to sec
ond and third.
This made Fresno almost certain of
scoring the winning run, but Oakland
claimed that Held's batted ball was
dead The umpire ruled otherwise,
whereupon Tip O'Neill called his men
from the field. Score:
Fresno, runs 8, hits Z. errors 1; Oak
land. runs 0, hits 9, errors 3. Bat
teries-Moore and Mangerina; Russell
and Sullivan. Umpire-Ferguson
SAN JOSE, May 22-San Francisco
won from San Jose in a hotly contested
game to-day by a score of II to IL,
though it was marked BY superfine
playing. The features of the game
were the batting of C. Foley, Iberg,
II. Krug and Egan. The ninth inning
closed with a tie, and it took one more
inning to decide the game. Score:
San Francisco, runs II, hits 10, err
rors 7: San Jose, runs II, hits 10, err
rors 9. Batteries-H. Krug and Ham
mond; Iberg and Kent Umpire-Land-
ers.
San Jose will protest the game on the
ground that there was not an official
umpire and that one man (Dunlevy)
went on the field without uniform.
SAN FRANCISCO, May pat Rec
reation Park to-day the Athletics of
this city easily defeated the Stocktons.
Though Whalen struck out one more
man than did Knell, and did not send
so many to first on balls, he was very
severely batted, three twobase hits
being made. although none of the Ath-
letics sent the ball over the fence near
the fagpole. as n. Smith did with one
of KnelPs easy throws. Score:
Stockton, runs 6, hits s, errors 8;
Athletics, runs 8, hits 8, errors 5.

Tnfatuation for a Woman Cost
Hugh Williams His Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-Infatua-
ton for a woman led Hugh Webster
Williams. a North Beach wireworker
and an inventor of more or less ability,
to his death this morning in Alameda,
while his alleged murderess and her ex-
husband are confined in the Town Jail
pending the action of the authorities.
The woman in the case is Mrs. William
NJ Gregory or Gregorie, who is known
in some sections of the country as DR..

physician" as her posters announce,
with an office at 12S Market street, in
this city. Her residence in Alameda is
at 2O19 Eagle avenue. She claims she
fired the shot to save her husband and
her child
The murdered man was beaten about
the head and face in a terrible man
ner both before and after he was shot.
His body bore evidence of a desperate
struggle w. M Gregory, the former
husband of the woman, from whom
he had been divorced for some time,

she fired the shot which cost the man
his life Williams had been attentive
to Mrs. Gregory for some time, and
called on her this morning. About
the same time Gregory came, as is
stated, to pay her alimony and see their
five-year- r-old son.
A quarrel and fight ensued. Seeing
that her husband was no match for his
opponent, Mrs. Gregory, according to
her own statement, reached under a
pillow, got a revolver and shot Will
Jams dead. Gregory, covered with
blood, rushed to the police station and
reported the case. Mrs. Gregory says
she shot to save the lives of her son
and his father.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-There
are 10,999 enlisted men and 474 officers
gathered at the two military camps
IN this city this morning. The Pre-
sidio Reservation is the temporary
home of nearly 1000 men, including
those from this State, Washington and
Oregon; in fact, the camp is the head
quarters of the Pacific Coast men. The
troops from Minnesota, Wyoming, Ne
braska. Kansas and Colorado are quar-
tered on the site Of the old Bay Dis
trict race track, which has been di-
Vided into town-lot sites covering
about twelve squares. Each square will
accommodate comfortably LOCO men
This city of tents has been named
Fort Richmond, and shelters about
4,J00 men. Brigadier-General Otis IS
very anxious to concentrate the Volun-
teer forces, and after the departure
of the troops for Manila will transfer
the men now stationed at the Preside
to Fort Richmond. He deems the new
site superior to the PresidiO especially
owing to its sandy nature, as the sand
absorbs every bit of moisture and keeps
the soldiers comparatively dry-shod ana
free from the mud which accumulates
at the RreSlQiO aILeT every Ad414
The men at Fort Richmond did not
suffer so much from last nights rain as
was expected. The men from other
camps helped yesterdays arrivals to
set up their tents, and by 10 o'clock
last night there was a semblance of
order about the grounds assigned to
the Colorado. Minnesota and Wyoming
troops, and the men spent a fairly good
night They are hard at work this
morning perfecting their camping ar
rangements, and by tonight will be
as comfortable as any of the soldiers
IN the camp.
The Presidio soldiers are again
foundering around in mud resulting
from yesterdays rain, but inside their
tents everything is dry and warm.
Both camps were visited to-day by
thousands of people from other sec
tions Of the city. Every car and train
brought its load of sightseers. Hardly
q visitor went to the camps empty
handed. Fruits. flowers and little
boxes of delicacies formed the princi-
pal packages taken out for the soldier
boys. and many of the blue-coated men
were made happy by these little evil
dences of goodwill.

He is a nephew of the late General
John C. Breckenridge, the Confederate
leader. However, he fought through
the war on the Union side, leaving a
law practice at Danville, KY, to join
the army. He was made First Lieu
tenant in the regular army in 1874, a
Captain the same year, and was ad-
vanced to Brigadier General and In

in the previous war, and considering
his standing in the army circles, his
work as a Major General may be ex-

Terrible Destruction Of Life

Two Score Of People Killed and

Damage Done.
Path of Death and DeSola-

of the City.

FORT SMITH, Ark, JAN 18.-Two
score Of human lives and upward of
u, 900, 900 worth of property were de-
stroyed by the terrible tornado which
burst upon this city few minutes past
IL o'clock Tuesday night. The storm
struck near the National cemetery and
tore its way through the entire city.
leaving its path marked by death and
desolation.
Men, women and children, peace
fully sleeping in their homes, were
without moments warning awakened
to meet possible death in the fearful
storm, while others, momentarily more
fortunate and who escaped the furies of
the wind, met far worse fate few
moments later in the flames which
soon engulfed many Of the wrecked
buildings.
Scene of Awful Grandeur.
The scene following the first terrific
crash Of the storm was one of awful
grandeur. Business blocks, hands ONE
mansions, hotels and humble cottages
were razed to the ground and scattered
in shapeless masses. Several of the
wrecks caught fire and the inf1ammable
timbers burned furiously.
The city was crowded with rural
visitors, many of whom were sleeping
at boardinghouses unregistered. For
this reason the number of victims who
perished in Fort Smith may never be
definitely known. The storm struck
the city near the National cemetery
and swept its way through the heart of
the town. Leaving Fort Smith it
bounded by Van Buren, and continued
down the river, demolishing everything
in it's path. News from outsi de points
is not yet at hand, but rumors of much
damage as far south as Alma have
reached here, it being reported that
number of persons were killed near
that place.
Score OF Business Blocks Gone.
The tornado struck Garrison avenue
at the corner Of Ninth street and made
a clean sweep from there to the Texas
corner, totally demolishing score of
business blocks. The upper floor of the
block ON the corner of Garrison and
Towson avenues is used as fat. The
ruins caught fire from the night lamp.
Several bodies were taken from these
ruins, two of them being so badly
burned that they could scarcely be
identified. Burgess hotel, a 3.story
brick on Towson avenue, was demol-
ished. There have been eight bodies
already taken from the ruins. Rescue
parties are still at work at both places
and expect to find several more bodies.
The federal court is in session and
that brought great many farmers
here who crowded the cheaper boarding
houses and wagon yards. The beauti.
full National cemetery is a wreck. The
huge trees are uprooted, the lodge de-
molished and the wall torn down.
