Broke and Ran With the Rest as Soon as a Shot
 Was Fired.
Developments at the Inquest on the Body of Lieutenant
 Burke.
George Cashel, tho Brave Patrol Driver, Tolls the Story of a Brutal
 Murder and Foul CowardIce.

Coroner Hawkins held an inquest yesterday on the body of Police Lieu tenant William F. Burke, who was murdered last Wednesday by Theo- dore Park Haynes while resisting ar rest for an assault with intent to mur- der a neighbor.
 Haynes was present with his attor- neys, J. N. E. Wilson and Edward Sweeney. He listened intently to the testimony with a grim and determined expression of countenance. When asked by the Coroner whether he wished to testify on his own behalf he replied that he did, but was kept in his seat by Attorney Wilson. At the conclusion of the testimony Haynes said that he had some objections to make to the proceedings, but he was again silenced by his lawyers.
 Only two witnesses were examined, Policeman T. w. Marlowe. who ran away when Haynes shot his lieutenant, and the brave patrol driver, George Cashel who risked his life to take the bleeding form of the mortally wounded officer out of the range of the mur- derer'S bullets. Marlowe gave his teSti- mony with a MorCsco tragedian air and a stentorian voice worth at least S20 week on the boards of that popular re- sort. He told how gallantly he had fired off the five chambers of his trusty re- volver and how he had sauntered away at a lively gait after more ammunition, it appearing to be the practice of the San Francisco police to carry no more ammunition than their pistols will hold.
 The testimony of George Cashel, the patrol driver, was to the effect that as he sat on the wagon watching Lieuten- ant Burke and Officers Marlowe and Wilkinson approaching the prisoner, who held a loaded revolver in each hand, he saw Haynes fire on the de- ceased and saw the deceased fall. At the same moment the officers broke for cover and began firing at Haynes. Just after Haynes fired the first shot at Burke Marlowe ran down the hill at full speed firing his revolver as he ran.
 Cashel called upon the officers to help him take the deceased away from the place where he was lying in front of Haynes house, but nobody came for ward to help him, and he went alone. Then Marlowe made his appearance near the house. waved his revolver in the air and shouted: Come on, have the door covered, and if he comes out I will kill him.
 Detective Cody exhibited the pistols used by the murderer The handle of the revolver belonging to the deceased was broken and there were three marks on the cylinder in front of the hammer, showing that 1t had been broken with hatchet or some similar tool and not by a bullet, as was at first supposed.
 The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a gun- shot wound inflicted by the prisoner.

HANDBALL PLAYERS DEPART.
Casey Plays His Last Game and Is Presented With a Gold
 Headed Cane

Phil Casey, the aged but agile handball exponent, left for Denver yesterday, bear ing with him a handsome gold headed cane and the best wishes of the many hundred friends he has made since his sojourn here He will go direct to Den yer, where he w.I meet eX-Alderman Dunne, his partner in many a hard-fought rubber, who preceded him few days ago.
 Yesterday the popular retired champion of the world, with ex-Assessor J. c. Nealon as a partner, played License Col lector Theodore F. Bonnet and ex-cham- pion John Riordan one of tho hardest rubbers that has been witnessed in many years at Phil Ryan's court. Casey played as he did in the days he won his title, covering the court with an agility that was astounding in one so old. Bonnet and Riordan were in their element, and gave their oponents a merry fight TOT supremacy.
 Casey and 4,ealon landed the first game by marrow margin. while the second went to Bonnet and Riordan. The play CTS then redoubled their efforts. and the large crowd yelled itself hoarse at the brilliant work.
 Bonnet, by clever serving, ran the score up to 5, and Riordan added a few more points. After long rallies anu clever placing, the game went to Bonnet and however, for the New Yorker. by unerr- ing placing and a hard service, gained many points before being retired. Bon nets side again forged to the front and the score stood about even. By a series of hard smashes Casey ran out, leaving the score 21 to 19. As Mir. Casey had to make preparations Tor his departure, the deciding game was not prayed.
 At the conclusion of the match MT. Nealon, in a neat speech. presented the visitor with a beautiful gold-heade. cane as a token of his regard and a memento of his visit to this city. MT. Casey was greatly surprised, and feelingly thanked his friend for his generosity, stating that he would look forward to his next visit to the coast with pleasure. In behalf of Mr. Dunne he also thanked Mir. Nealon for the gift

ATHLETIC CLUBS
 BIDDING HIGH
Jeffries and Sharkey Are Of- fered Tempting Induce
 nentS to Fight.
The National Club Raised tho Bid of the Olynpics Ton Per
 Cent

The Olympic and National athletic clubs are trying to bring about twenty round contest between Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries.
 The Olympic Club has offered the pugf- lists 50 per cent of the receipts, but the National has raised the Olympic's bid 10 per cent. and may possibly capture the plum.
 Sharkey spoke very strongly few days ago against fighting again in this city, but when his nearest friends informed him of the fact that he will receive as good if not better treatment here than will be accorded him in the East, where boxing Is tolerated by the authorities. Thomas has altered his intention of going to New York for the purpose of meeting Peter Maher. the Irish champion
 The managers of the National Club have been on Sharkey's trail ever since Jeffries disposed of Jackson. but no man. ner of coaxing will, seemingly, induce the sailor lad to give an aff1rmauve or negative reply to the question, Will you fight Jeffries in our club for 70 per cent of the receipts ?"
 Doubtless Sharkey will finally consent to fight Jeffries in this city, but under which club the contest will be held Is at present a matter of conjecture.
 JeffrieS favors the Olympic Club, but his astute manager. Billy Delaney, will hardly consent to an agreement of any kind unless the monetary consideration is to his fancy. The Olympics will csr- tainly have to make as good an offer as the Nationals If they hope to capture the big drawing card. Whichever club brings off the match, it can be safely said that it will lose money If 1t attempts to bring it off at Woodward's Pavilion. which is a very unsafe place for first-class boxing entertainments. that invariably attract large gatherings of fistic sport lovers.
 The Excelsior Athletic Club will as- suredly have a crowded gymnasium this evening. as it's programme of indoor sport is first-class. It Is as follows: Three round bouts between Jack Stenzler and Joe Kennedy, Jimmy Lawlor and Jimmy Riley. Jimmy Anthony and Frank Skuse, J. McGrath and w. Otis, T. Devine and J. McDevitt, J. Dougherty and W. Has kins. w. Hogan and w. Lawlor. Jack Sullivan and Joe Sullivan.
 As grand final to tho preliminary bouts, P. Lynch, the hard-hitting repre- sentative of the San Francisco Athletic Club, will meet M Mccormick of the Oakland Athletic Club in an eight-round contest for the middle-weight amateur championship of the coast. Orator James Ii. Kennedy will introduce the contest ants in his usual pleasant and unosten- tatious way. The first event will be called sharply at o'clock.
 The inaugural athletic entertainment and ball of the Yosemite Athletic Club will be held this evening In Odd Fellows Hall, Seventh and idarket streets.

CARRIAGES AND BUGGIES GALORE.

This afternoon we happened to
step into the new quarters of the
Texarkana Carriage Co., the old

and were surprised to see such a
large number of wheeled goods,
such as carriages, buggies, phaetons,
stanhopes, road carts, wagons, ETC.,
etc. A few days since this firm
received several car loads of all
kinds of vehicles.

class harness maker, Capt. N. E.
Sutton, who does all kinds of repair
work; harness can also be bought of

Crow arrested and placed in the
Miller county Jail, boy by the
name of Jake L. Edwards, charged
with the heinous crime of attempted
rape upon the person of Mrs. Er-
nest, some seven miles south of the

from Palestine, Texas, to Hope, Ark.
She says that her son was with her
all the time, not out of her sight.
From the officers we learn that
some time Wednesday morning,
while Mrs. Ernest was out in a
field picking blackberries, a white
man came toward her and attempt
ed violence upon her person, but
she succeeded in running away to
the house, although chased by the
fiend. She swore out a warrant,
charging the boy mentioned above
with the attempted crime. When
the boy was arrested, Mr.. Ernest
remarked in the presence of Mrs.
Edwards that if he was certain it
was he who attempted the crime
upon his wife he would kill him.

ternoon, we learn.

The logician of the Courier rea-
sons that it is the consumer that
pays the tax on beer and not the
manufacturer, or retail dealer, as
the size of the schooner" and
"can" has grown beautifully less, as
the tax on beer has been increased.
We don't know where the Courier
does its lushing, or "can" rushing,
but over in Arkansas the same sized
schooner" is steered clear of all
breakers across the bar, and the
'growler" is treated to the usual
amount of fluid as it was before the
war tax was voted In a case Of
this kind the retail dealer pays
the fiddler aud not the brewer
or consumer. There are perhaps
places in this country where
there is no competition in the
beer trade, and places where
combines are formed to reduce the
size of the glass, in order that the
retail dealer can make his old time
profit, but in cities like Texarkana,
where competition is strong and
tree lunches are set up to induce
custom, the same condition or
prices and size of glass and guam
tity of beer, will be given out to
the consumer, regardless of who
pays the taxes or whether there is
profit or no profit in the business.

have to go for examination OF our feet,
to see il they are clean twice day.
We have seen one shark, lots OF por-
poise and flying fish. Quite number

as | did on land. There are 450 of the
crew and 300 of US. We are not fed

Still well as usual. Have had a lot
of fun today. 1t does not seem as if
was going to war, seems more like a
pleasure trip. We have had our first
drill at shooting; we got five rounds OF
ammunition each and fired them into
the ocean, and they had practice with
their cannon. They sent out a buoy,
shot at it and done excellent eXecu-
tion. They halted boat today, it was
an English transport They fired a
shot across her bow and she hove TO,
and came within about one-half mile
for recognition. We are now in Gu
ban waters; just saw sea gull, and
now we begin TO see sea weeds; expect
TO land Monday morning, will write
more tomorrow night. We got S8. 70

1t is noon now and we are among the
Bahama Islands. We have not been
out of sight of land today. We just
got orders TO roll our blankets with

side of us all day. Most of the boys
are feeling well. We expect to land in
the morning.
