TO-DAY,s CcURsING.
A New System of Starting to Be
introduced.

The fine weather will doubtless cause
a large crowd to visit Agricultural
Park to-day to witness the first days
ccursing under the new management.
The sport promises to be interesting,
as there is a good field of dogs en-
tered and the hounds are all in good
condition and on edge for chance at
long-eared flyers fresh from the Mer-
ced plains. Besides the regular cours-
ing series the match race between the
L. A. & Y kennels Fashion Plate and
Pearl & Benefits Geyser is attracting
considerable interest.
For the first time in this city the
Jerome system of releasing the hare
will be seen in practice. Heretofore
the custom has been to single out a
hare in the corral and chase him about
until he find the little opening in the
fence and enters the field. When the
dogs get sight of him the slipper runs
with them for a, few rods and then re-
leases them. Sometimes one dog gets
the best of the start in this way, and
very often the slipper is accused of
jockeying.
Under the new system the hare is
placed in box-like contrivance, which
is set on the ground in full view of
both dogs. By means of a long cord the
'puller'' releases the fastenings of the
box, which is thrown open by springs
and flattens out on the ground, after
the manner of the traps used for re-
leasing pigeons at a shooting match
When the box opens out the hare is
released and starts off in full view of
the dogs, and in the right direction to
insure a long straight-away race.
The sport will begin promptly at II
O'clock

OLD-TIME REVIVAL.
One Now in Progress at the Court
land M. e. Church.

The M. E. Church of CORTLAND Cir
cult, Sacramento District, is in the
midst of a most remarkable revival of
religion.
Mrs Emma Barrett of Port Town
send, Wash, one of the most successful
evangelists of the Northwest, is assist
ing the pastor, Rev. ]. w. Hurds. Mrs.
Barrett resorts to no sensational meth
DDS, but breaches the Gospel with a
pathos and power that crowds the
church nightly, though this is an ex-
tremely busy time of year.
She makes the study of the Bible a
feature of her work, and it is wonder
full to see the deep interest which is
being awakened among the converts
in searching the word of God The
song service, led by the pastors wife
and Miss Nettie Holman, is an inspira-
ton. They seem to put wonderful SER
mons in song.
The interest is deepening all over the
circuit, and many go from a distance
to attend these services, the like of
which has never been witnessed in that
neighbOrhOOd

THE MURDERER MAY GO FREE.
THE PRISON SHIELDS A FIEND
FROM THE GALLOWS.
Man-Slayer John Hancock is
Wanted in Nevada While in
Prison Here.

There is a clamorous demand by the
Governor of Nevada for John Hancock,
who is serving second term in San
Quentin for burglary. Hancock quietly
murdered two companions with an ak
a few years ago, while they slept in
camp in Nevada. He then skipped to
San Diego, where he managed to COM
nit several burglaries before he was
caught by the authorities. He still has
about nine years to serve.
Peter Edninston and George Engelke
We're the unfortunate men whom Han
cock murdered in Lincoln County, Ne
vada, and District Attorney McNamee
in hanging the superfluous Hancock On
short notice should he be sent to Ne
vada to face his record. The evidence
is said to be direct and convincing.
Judge G. F. Talbot, a prominent Ne
vada jurist, was in the city yesterday
to see Governor Gage relative to par
doning Hancock, as that seemed the
only way that he could be excused from
his term for burglary in this State and
sent over to Nevada to answer for his
more brutal crimes. The Judge and the
Governor had a long consultation, and
at the end of the conference the prob
lem of Hancock was still unsolved.
The Governor said he would be very
glad to excuse Hancock from ten years
servitude at San Quentin, if he felt as
sured that such a course would result
in the furtherancel of justice in Nevada
hanging without delay, for example.
But there were doubts on that score,
for the reason that there are many slips
in the tedious process of convicting
and hanging murderers.
Perhaps the Governor was thinking Of
the sure thing" convictions that he
had seen District Attorneys fail to Land
during his own experience.
Then there arose the fact that Han
ton 141S of the Criminal Code provides
that no man who is serving a second
term for burglary and certain other fell
onies shall be pardoned by the Governor
unless the petition for his pardon shall
be signed by a majority of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of the State, and
whether or not this procedure can be
had in the case of Hancock is now
a doubtful matter.
1t is said that the crimes charged
to him in Nevada are as brutal as the
Imagination can devise; that he muir
dered his travelling companions without
proyocation of any sort, while they
were asleep in camp, the motive being
the robbery of their persons.
It is believed that there is not a pre-
cedent for this case in the history Of
American criminal jurisprudence. Judge
Talbot will spend a few days in the
law library trying to see some way out
of the legal puzzle. The Governor in
the meantime is willing to do all he
can under the law, SO long as he takes
no chances in the matter. There is not
any way by which the murderer can
be tried in Nevada unless he' is pardon
ed here, and no easy provision is made
for either pardoning or paroling men
who have been twice convicted; of burg
larry

Two Suspects Arrested for the MUIR
der of the Japanese.

The search for the murderers of the
japanese near East Park on Thursday
night has been quietly pursued by
Sheriff Johnson and the officers and two
men were arrested yesterday morning
on. suspicion
Yesterday afternoon as Deputy Con-
stables Waldron and Brissen were
standing near the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank two men passed Wal
dron called BrisselPs attention to the
fact that the shorter one had hitch
in his walk tallying with the descrip-
ton the Japs gave of the shorter man
of the two who committed the robbery
and murder.
Brissell followed the men, while Wal
dron telephoned to the Sheriff's Office.
The men went into the Lafayette sa-
loon, and Rrissell watched them until
Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Sheriff
Schwilk came, when they were placed
under arrest The taller one gave the
name of John Manning, and the officers
say he is an ex-convict and a six
termer" He was discharged last
Wednesday from the prison, and the
murder was committed on Thursday
night.
The smaller man gives his name as
Thomas Rowley and came to this city
on Thursday. A number of Japs we're
summoned to see if they could identity
the prisoners, but as the faces of the
men We're partly covered with handker-
chiefs at the time of the murder the
Japs were not quite positive
1t developed that on Thursday Man
ming wore a black hat and hickory
shirt, similar to the ones described by
the Japs who We're robbed.
Sheriff Johnson investigated the mat
ter fully and found that the men could
establish a perfect alibi by Oakland Of
ficers, so he released them last night.

NEEDED 1T, ANYHOW.
The Police Station Receives
Thorough Fumigation.

Health Officer Nichols last evening
caused the Police Station to be sub
jected to a good fumigation, something
it was sadly in need of on general prin-
ciples. The disinfection was precipi-
tated, however by the discovery of the
fact that Albert Moulding, the patient
now in the pest-house, had been there
for three days.
Moulding was sent to the County
Hospital on the 23d, where his ailment
developed into smallpox. AS neither
fever nor eruption were manifest until
after he had been taken to the County
Hospital, it is not likely anyone at the
Police Station was endangered by his
presence

BOYS, BEWARE.


OF late some boys have been amusing
themselves by repeatedly breaking the
electric light globes in the vicinity of
Nineteenth and D, Twentieth and e
and Tenth and E streets. Some of these
globes have been broken by airguns
and slingshots and others by stones in
the hands of young boys
This is a most dangerous practice, as
a globe thus cracked may at any time
fall and seriously injure persons driv-
ing or walking by.
Chief of Police Dwyer is determined
to stop further practice of this kind,
and has instructed his officers to keep
a sharp lookout, and any one caught
will be punished to the full extent of the
