WRECKED HIS HOME
WHILE DRINK K-CRAZED
PATRICK J. o'NEIL CREATES
HAVOC IN SHORT ORDER.
Drives His Wife Out of the House
and Then Demolishes Every
thing of Value.

Patrick J. O'Neil a painter, went to his
home at 319 Eureka street last evening
in an inebriated condition and on being
demonstrated with by his wife became
furious and drove her from the house.
While the latter was receiving the sym
pathy of her neighbors the liquor r-crazed
husband began to vent his ire on the fur
nishings in the house.
Crash after crash was heard by the
gathered neighbors, but no one dared en-
ter the citadel to see what ONeil was
doing. A messenger was hastily dis
patched to the Seventeenth-street police
Hagarty was Informed of the trouble he
hastily dispatched Officers ]. Connolly
and p. Cleu to the scene in a patrol
wagon. When the officers entered the
house they found O'Neil putting the fin
ishing touches to the wreck he had
wrought He was unceremoniously taken
into custody and handcuffed. His right
hand was covered with blood, due to a
nasty cut he received in breaking a mir
ror. A towel was placed around his hand
and, amid the jeers of the people in the
neighborhood he was driven to the police
station, where charges of disturbing the
peace and of committing malicious mis-
chief were placed against him. AS he
he was taken to the City and County
Hospital, where it was dressed. He de-
clined to give any reason for his action.
\ survey of the home of the frenzied
house painter disclosed a scene of ruin.
The floors were covered with broken
glass, dishes, gas globes gas fixtures,
mirrors. pictures, etc The pictures were
torn from the walls and mangled. Look
ing glasses were scattered around the
rooms, cracked smashed and made use
less Not window in the house was left
intact and, in fact, everything of value
was broken beyond repair.

EVERY DOG MAY
HAVE HIS DAY
Only Week More for Entries in the
Big Bench Show at the
Pavilion.

Never in the history OF San Fran
cisco dog shows have entries been made
at such an early stage as for this show.
Owners seem to have realized at last that
the earlier they enter their dogs the
better are the chances for a flawless cata-
logue. Inquiries at the office of the San
Francisco Kennel Club at 23S Montgomery
street have developed the fact that the
number of entries already made amounts
to 325 With this unprecedented early
entry the chances are more than favora-
BILE that this year will see about a thou

Pavilion A NJ. Thomson. the clerk of
the club, is punctuating the entries with
the sweat of his corrugated brow, while

wears an expansive smile and bright
garderia.
Among the additional cups and trophies
offered since the premium list was issued
it is understood that George Crocker's
nently. The American Mastiff Club has
offered long string for competition, in
cluding silver challenge cups. shields and
gold medals. The unique feature of the
show will be the parade of greyhounds in
training on the penultimate night of the
show After the parade the hounds will
line up before the judge for competition
for three silver cups, one each for the
best dog and bitch and one for the best
puppy These cups will cost $50 each.
Such noted dogs as For Freedom, False
IdIleTeT, EmIn fdSnd, Royal
Flush and over hundred others will
figure in the parade and competition.
1t should be distinctly understood that
no pedigree is required to show your dog
A dog is judged in the ring-not what he
is, not for the qualities or defects of his
sire and dam. If your dog has no pedi-
gree the American Kennel Club requires
the annual payment of % cents for listing
to entitle him to the privilege of exhi-
bition under the rules of the club For 81
a pedgreed dog can be registered, which
gives to the animal the added value of a
certified pedigree and enables him to be
shown during his lifetime without any
further expense. Registrations can be
made through the clerk of the San Fran
cisco Kennel Club, which will act as agent
for the owner.
Competition is rife among the different
breeds The ST. Bernard Club promises
to bench $50 of the holy breed Cocker
spaniels and fox terriers will probably
rank next. The Pacific Mastiff Club ex-
poets to show about twenty-seven watch

Once the California
Derby.
POSTPONED TO SUIT CORSINE
COLT WON AS THE "CZAR" HAD
CALCULATED.
The Victor Received With Deathly
Silence-Formero and Survivor
Were Counted out-Olin-
thus Poor Showing.

The California Derby, one Of the swell
stakes of the exiled Pacific Coast Jockey
Club, was decided at Oakland yesterday,
and turned out a decidedly frappe AFFAIR.
When Corrigan's Corsine, ridden by rig
gott. returned to the stand winner his VIC
tory failed to evoke single cheer or GEM
onstration of any sort The attendance,
too, was light, that is for Derby day, there
being apparently no additions to the usual
Saturday crowd. The race was set for
and should have been decided just one
month ago At that time the Ingleside
Association was engaged in debate with
the Supervisors, which fact was taken
advantage of by Corrigan to have the
event postponed. Then, too, it was limited
that Corsine had developed signs of lame
ness, while the other candidates, trained
to the hour and right on edge, were eager
for the bugle call announcing post time.
At that stage of this turf idyl Formero
was considered a certainty, with Survi-
Vor the dangerous one. In the interim
First Tenor went amiss, and the owners
of Formero and Survivor, disgusted at
the reprehensible tactics of this one-man
club, shipped their charges East, where
they could contest for stakes under less
corrupt management. No general ever
outlined his plan of battle better. Every
thing matured just about as the Corrlgan
confederacy had figured. While Corsine
was gradually receiving his prep" those
of the original nominations eligible were
losing all semblance of true form. And

by sport-loving public, and this in a

McDermott went on Friday to En-

ing his trade. The touting tipsters of
the bookmaker urged the old man to
wager his money on a certain horse.
The old fellow knew nothing of the
game. He was a stranger to the
tricks by which the agents of the gam
blers fleece their victims. He needed
money, because money meant his life.
He was persuaded to bet on a GER
tain horse with the assurance that
the animal would win. The old man

pool-ticket which he placed in his

Then Sought Death.

-HE gamblers Of Ingieside have
q claimed another victim. The
bookmakers have checked of
another name IN the game that
they are playing against the
honor and the lives Of the peo-
pie of this city The dead body Of an
aged, white-haired man lies upon
slab at the Morgue to tell another
story Of the tragedy Of the racecOurse.
Patrick McDermott haZarded his life
on Friday against the gambling clev
erness of the manipulators of the Pa
ciflc Coast Jockey Club. He lost. and
his friends found his dead body yes
terday morning.
McDermott was 20 years OF age. He
had seen much of the dark side OF life
and had battled against adversely with
but little success. Misfortunes ac-
cumulated upon him, and about
a month ago he found himself without
employment and with but very little
money with which to provide for his
necessities. He was a teamster by
occupation. and for years had received
the privilege of a bed of straw in a
stable at $50 Bryant street.
The old man had neither relative
nor friend in this city. He could look
to no one for assistance, and at his
age could not expect employment He
knew that his little store Of money
would soon be exhausted. and when
his money was gone his life must end.
Seeking vainly to replenish his store,
he turned finally to the racecourse,
hoping in a hazard of what he had to
gain more. He forgot the tragedies Of
the racetrack and did not seem to know
that he was matching his poor judg-
ment against the criminal intelligence
of gamblers who have sent men into
exile, to prison and to death.
