Trouble in the Family of Mrs. Herman F.
 RulffS.
She Wanted Her Son Fred Arrested for Threats
 Against Life.
Children Threaten to Take Their Fathers Estato Into the Probate
 Court Again.

The skeleton in the closet Of the fam fly of Mrs Herman P. Rulffs, corner of Hayes and Laguna streets, has come to light through the action of the mother in swearing to a warrant before Judge Low last Saturday for the arrest of Frederick Winkelman. her son, on charge of threats against life.
 Although the warrant was issued on Saturday, no effort has been made to arrest the young man and yesterday af- ternoon. accompanied by his attorney. he appeared before Judge Low to sur render himself. thinking that the Judge would release him on his own recognt- Zance after hearing the circumstances. The Judge refused to do so and Win kelman and his attorney left to secure bonds before surrendering himself. The Judges refusal was based upon the case of William Mcleod, who was re- leased by him on his own recognizance on a similar charge and went home and choked his wife to death.
 Winkelmans father, 1t appears, died about five years ago. leaving an estate consisting of real property on Hayes and Laguna streets valued at about S20, 900. The widow afterward obtained an order from the Probate Court to homestead the property. having placed its value at only s5OOO. The family lived together in peace and harmony until about eighteen months ago, when the widow, against the bitter opposition or her children, married Herman F. Rulffs, a young man, and started him in gro- cery business in a store on the prop erty.
 The introduction into the family of the young stepfather has been followed by acrimony and unpleasantness. and the children are anxious t~ have the property relieved from the homestead order, which compels them to live with the mother, and divided among them.
 A petition will be presented to that effect to the Probate Court probably to-day, and meantime Fred will insist upon the case against him for threats against life being prosecuted, as he wants the real facts to be known. It is understood that Mrs. Rulffs has re- gretted her action in obtaining the war rant and is anxious to have 1t with drawn.

A somewhat speckled sort of @ card drew but a small crowd to the races at Oakland yesterday. Two favorites man aged to win, but as very little confi- dence was reposed in them the talent did not benefit to any great extent by their successes.

 Charley Thorpe had but one mount all day and that was astride O'Fleeta, the entry of "Plunger" McManus in the second six and half furlong run. The gelding was a 12 to 1 shot in the ring and through good riding Thorpe got him to the wire first. less than a length in advance In front of Aquinas, the sec ond choice. Polish ran into show.

Had Lost Jurisdiction.

Tho Superior Court received a setback at the hands of the Supreme Court yester- day in the case of Rosa Queirolo, who asked to be released from the custody of Sheriff Whelan on a writ of habeas cor pus. The woman was divorced from her husband. Frank, and the minor children were awarded to her. Later the court modified the decree and gave the chil- dren to the father. She appealed from the decree. but refused to give up the chii- dren in accordance with the judges order. For this she was placed in custody for contempt. The Supreme Court held that the appeal stayed all proceedings and suspended the power of the Superior Court. which. by the very nature of the appeal. took The case out of its jurisdic- tion. The woman was released.

The horses of J. Naglee Burke have been singularly fortunate in getting close decisions. To those in close proximity to the wire 1t looked as though Silver State beat Dolore a nose, but the mare failed to get the verdict.
 Shaw was indefinitely suspended for a dilatory ride astride Flashhght, and the horses owners, Farrar and Tuberville, were warned that in future they must put up competent riders or remove their horses from the track.
