Recognized as the Mur- derer of an Inoffen-
 Sive Chinaman.
SwOre He Would Kill Anybody Who Attempted to Ar-
 rest Him.
ADMITTED HIS GUILT.
The Bloody Crime Was Committed Two Years Ago in St
 Louis Alley.

Bah Non, the murderous highbinder who shot Police Officer Tracey in the arm last Wednesday night while the lat ter was arresting him for wounding fel- low-countryman, was identified last night in the City Prison as the man who about two years ago shot and killed an inoffen- sive Chinaman at Jackson street and St. Louis alley.
 Bah Non is member of the See Yups, and as his victim, who belongs to the Sam Yups. was walking along St. Louis alley the bloodthirsty highbinder drew his revolver and fired. The bullet struck the unfortunate Chinese in a vital spot, and he died short time afterward. Notwith- standing that the police did all in their power to arrest the murderer, he managed to elude their vigilance.
 Shortly after the killing he went to Sac ramento where he worked on a hop ranch. He returned to this city a few weeks ago with the avowed determina- tion, as he expressed it. of wiping out the Sam Yup Society. To another Chinaman who made statement to the police last night Bah admitted to him that he had killed several Sam Yup men and that he defied the police to arrest him. He declared that he would shoot any police officer who would attempt to apprehend him for his numerous crimes. When he shot his last victim in Sullivan alley Wednesday night Police Officer Tracey, assisted by the other members of the Chinatown squad, attempted to arrest him. AS they ap- preached the murderous highbinder he turned revolver on them and en- deavored to shoot. Tracey closed in on him, and in the struggle that followed the brave officer was shot in the arm. Police Officers Burke and Galloway then seized the desperate Chinaman, and, af- ter a short struggle, disarmed him. He was then taken to the City Prison and charged with an assault to commit mur- der.
 Since the shooting the prisoner has re- peatedly expressed his regret that he had not killed Tracey. In an adjoining cell is Yung Tee, another desperate Chinese criminal. He was with Bah at the time of the shooting. The police are convinced that the two prisoners are responsible for several murders committed in China town.

PLAYED BALL FOR KEEPS.
Oakland Defeats San Francisco in a Battling Contest in
 Which Hard Hitting
PredOn1inated.

The resounding whack of the ashen bat meeting live ball created a merry din in Recreation Park grounds at Eighth and Harrison streets yesterday in an exciting game between the Athenians and the local representatives. Basehits, two-bag- gers and triples were as plentiful as boys on the fence, and, judging by the fine at tendance. the grounds had scored hit
 Free cars and live game by two of the strongest teams in the California League were instrumental in bringing the "cranks" to the well-kept grounds. Seat ed in the sunny grand stand, the enthu- siasts yelled themselves hoarse when "Trip" O'Neil, "Peek-a-Boo" Hardie and a few other old-timers distinguished them selves in the field or at the bat.
 Errors were scarce on both sides, which Is to be wondered at. as both pitchers were touched up so often that they the ball over the plate. The day was ideal for playing the national game and the players seemed to be infused with ginger No ball was out of their reach by Sheehan, Dean, Weed and Shea.
 It was thought the San Franciscos had in the first inning made a good beginning by scoring four runs on as many hits. they went the local nine two runs better So 1t continued throughout the game. Not an inning passed without some player poking out long hit and clearing the bags.
 It should not be to Wheeler's discredit that eighteen hits were landed off his de- livery, as he pitched a steady game, gain ing three strike-outs and giving his oppo- nents but two chances to walk. He had the ill-luck to pitch against an aggrega- tion of hard-hitters, which was his loss.
 Shea's clever fielding makes him invalu- able to his team. Besides possessing a good eve for diff3cuIt skyhalis ba hoe o sions to good advantage. Out of five hard chances he took them all, ana had the pleasure of retiring the "Friscos' by catching three flies in one, two, three order.

yesterday. Everybody present shared in the hard luck. the spectators to the great est extent. The managers of the Pacific States League came in for their allot- ment in having to stand the responsibility of such an exhibition so early in the sea son, while the players suffered propor- tionately for their part in the crime.
 The first evidence of the hoodoo was when the Oaklands started out from the club house and found themselves one man shy H. Krug had been announced to play with the team, but he decided to remain with the rival league, so the trouble was delayed fifteen minutes while skirnish line was thrown across to the City Hall and shanghaied deputy in the Street Department by the name of Mona han, who only consented to become an accessory on the promise that his iden- tity should be concealed under the alias of Keegan.
 Then the hoodoo hypnotized the pitch CTS. the fielders and the umpires Rube Levy and Dave Creamer perpetrated the latter affront, but to thelr credit be it said they were entirely impartial in the matter of inlyrowiag decision. Foley and Corbett were called out for not touching bases-ort that was the explanation given but the impression prevailed that it was done to reduce the offense from felony to misdemeanor. As for balls and strikes, they might as well have been decided by the tossing of a quarter-heads a strike, tails a ball.
 Four pitchers divided up a total of forty-one hits between them, including two homers, triple and thirteen doubles, while fourteen errors were distributed among the players. Some thought that

the pitchers suffered for the benefit of the fielders, and that some of the sh6p , scored as hits should have been charged as errors, but few more or less either way don't matter in such melee.
 There were some mitigating circum- stances, notably the cannonading of Hammond, Pyne and Eagan for Oakland, and Hanlon, McGuckin, Foley and "Blockers" Hanley for San Jose, while Eagan's double play unassisted was the redeeming fielding feature. Joe Corbett. who played third for Oakland, did noth- ing in particular to distinguish himself, except to lose a couple of balls over left field fence, the grounds not having been widened yet, as it was announced some time ago would be done.
 When San Jose piled up nine misdeeds on six hits in the first inning it looked as though Oakland was out of it. but in the second they came back with three runs, while the Orchardists cut three more notches in the third. Oakland got one in the fourth and both took three in the fifth Then Oakland evened up mat ters by scoring eight in the sixth, while San Jose drew blank. They added two more in the seventh, while Oakland took four. A quartet in the eighth put San Jose again in the lead, but their antag- oniSts flashed the winning number with three runs. They might have kept it up had not Corbett been retired, ostensbly for not touching third. The others could not do anything in the ninth, and the trouble terminated as follows:

Manager Tom Mcdonald steps to the fore and as- serts that the Vallejo slogger is willing to fight Jeffries in a ring or in a room for any old sum, all the way from $1 to $10,- 900. Mcdonald also applies the euphemis- tic term of ''cur' to Jeffries for some reason of his own, and is backed up by the following, from Sharkey's own fist:
 SAN FRANCISCO. April ?. 1898.
 Sporting Editor Call-Dear Sir: I observe in your columns to-day an announcement that Jeffries has signed for twenty-round glove contest with one Mexican Pete before the Olympic Club. Permit me to state through the same medium that l consider that Jeffries thereby forfeited all claim for square dealing, as every overture had been made by me to in duce him to sign with I went SO far as to propose that we flip coin for the choice of club under whose auspices the match would be handled.
 Now I hold myself in readiness to meet the best men In the world In the business. and hereby express a decided preference for Fitz- simmons.

The only condition I impose Is that Eastern referee of unquestionable reputation be selected: Yours truly,

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE. RlDlCULE THE IDEA OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR DYSPEP-
 SIA AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
RidicuIe. However, Is Not Argument and
 Facts Are Stubborn Things.

RidicuIe, However, Is Not Argument and Facts Are Stubborn Things. Stomach troubles are so common and in many cases so obstinate to cure that people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to be radical, permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi- gestion. Many such pride themselves on never being humbugged, especially on medicines.
 This fear of being humbugged may be carried too far; so far, i1 fact, that many persons suffer for years with weak digestion, rather than risk lit tie time and money in faithfully testing the claims Of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuarts Dys- pepsia Tablets.
 Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important re- spect from ordinary proprietary medi- cines for the reason that they are not secret patent medicine. no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis shows them to contain the natural di- gestive ferments, pure a-ceptic pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis muth, hydrastis and nux. They are not cathartic, neither do they act power fully on any organ, but they cure indi- gestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten promptly, thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of their success.
 Cathartic pills never have and never can cure indigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely upon the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after meals, digest the food. That is all there is to it. Food not digested or half digested is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss of flesh and appetite, and many other troubles which are often called by some other name.
 They are sold by druggists every where at 50 cents per package. Address Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., for book giSt for it.
