shouted to the conductor and motorman
to stop, but they paid not attention to
him.
Manager Wharton was present, and.
grasping the situation, ordered the mo-
torman to run his car out for the POI
liceman.
Then began an exciting chase. The
second car with the officer and Man.
ager Wharton aboard was stopped by
the Kelly sympathizers, who pulled off
the trolley.
The manager rushed to the rear, and
after restoring the current guarded the
rope from further attacks.
BY this time the flying car in front
had reached Harrison avenue and was
turning the corner just as the second
car gained Roadway.
Race Is Thrilling.
1t was a race thrilling to the specta-
TORS, but annoying to the street car
manager, to whom the forward train
crew refused to pay attention.
tIhe race was kept up around the
south Butte turn and to the St. James
hotel on Utah avenue, where Kelly
leaped from his special and disappeared.
Manager Wharton was exceedingly an
cry with the conductor and motorman
for not stopping at the behest of the
officer at the first, but later accepted
their excuses that they did not know
what the trouble was.
Kelly is well-known to the police and
will be arrested on sight.
Officer McNally arrested H. G. Lenlke
as one of the instigators of the riot. He
will appear in court tomorrow.

BOTH ASK LETTERS

AD0LPH TAILFAIR AND FRED ROY
Judge Mcclernan Appoints Tailfair-
He Is Guardian Of Three Children
5fn c. and Godfather of One-Roy
Has Claim.

There We're two petitioners for letters
of administration in the estate of Fannie
Provost, deceased, in Judge McClernan's
court this morning.
One of them was Adolphus Tailfair,
who said he was the godfather of the
youngest orphan of the deceased and
the other was Fred Roy, who claimed
that he had loaned Mrs. Provost money,
bought the children clothes, worked
around the house and provided provi-
sions for the family during the de-
ceased's lifetime.
There are three children, and the prop
erty left to them by their parents, both
of whom are dead. is worth about $4,000,
according to Tailfair's statements.
Houses and Furniture.
1t consists of two houses at PIG South
Wyoming street and household furni-
ture. The real estate is worth about
$4,000, and the houses bring in the tidy
little income of SLAB month.
Tailfair had no other ground of rela-
tonship with the children beside the
godfathership upon which to ask for
the petition, excepting that he is their
guardian.
But Roy had none at all, and his petit
ton was made for the reason that he
has an alleged claim against the estate
for the services and loans which he
claims Mrs. Provost had of him.
Judge McClernan decided the contest
in favor of Tailfair. the godfather and
guardian. and appointed him administra-
tor of the estate with bond of $1,000

Two trolley cars racing madly from
Athletic park and through Harrison
avenue, wildly cheering group of fleet
footed spectators, an escaping fugitive
and a pursuing policeman, all served to
increase the interesting time at the
football game yesterday afternoon.
The mad race down the streets by the
trolley cars and the flight of the specta-
tors from the grounds were occasioned
by the assault of BOX Car" Kelly on
Policeman PERRIN.
The officer. together with several other
blue coats, was engaged in forcing the
crowd back from the sidelines and pre-
venting the interference with the game
by some of the too interested and too
partisan spectators.

Kelly and some others. a little ex-
cited through frequent libations, gave a
great deal of trouble, and when the off,
Ger made flying wedge all by himself
and rushed Kelly and his companions
back to the fence the trouble began.
AS PERRIN turned his back, Kelly
struck him a vicious blow in the neck.
and then took to his heels. By the time
the policeman recovered his balance and
his breath, Kelly had good start for
the road.
PERRIN started in pursuit amid the
yells of the crowd, who followed behind,
shouting words of encouragement I'd

When clear of the spectators the off,

JAPAN TRAGEDY RECALLED

Lieutenant Jah,es III. Hetherihgton, U.
$. NJ, was yesterday appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to be lieutenant cont
mander. Hetherington, who il now III
San Francisco, is well-known. His wife,
who was Miss Bessie Hewes, daughter Of
Emlen Hewes, former lumber merchant
of this city, hist week began proceedings
for divorce oh the ground of desertion.
The couple were married in Trinity
Church. New York, on December 1e,
1889. In 1891 Lieutenant Hetherington
was appointed to the Marion and he was
accompanied by his wife and child when
that ship sailed for Japan lii the early
part of tile SAME year.
The Hetherihgtons soon became social
favoritcs in the English and American
colony of Yokohama. Conspicuous for
his friendly attention to the newcomers
was George Cover Robinson. an Eng
ish banker carrying on business in
Japan. These attentions soon became
objectionable and Commander Bartlett
OF the Marion. demonstrated with the
Englishmnn. This was without avail,
and after his commanders intercessinii
failed Hetherington met Robinson in the
street and shot and killed him.
lHETHERfNGTON WAS sACQUITTED
Hp was tried at Yokohama for murder
and was acquitted. The trial excited thu
greatest interest in this country and alst
| in England. After a prOtracted trial til,
llieutenant's action in shooting Robinson
was vindicated. The verdict gave genera
satisfaction In England as well as II
this country. Hetheringtoh was &C

fuse in Their Thanks for the Valuable
Services Rendered.
CHIEF ENGINEER WELSH In COMMAND

Salisbury has two fire engines but
both of them We're taken out of SER
vice shortly after the Wilmington tiremen
arrived. One of the engines had broke
down and the other gave way entirely
to the local tiremen. The Washington
engine was stationed at the mill pond
which was nearly 1900 feet from the ire.
From the Washington engine line of
hose 500 feet long was run to the Water
Witch engine and the latter had two
streams on the fire. The local men also
operated the Salisbury pumps and handl-
ed their line of hose. In the above posi-
ton the two engines had two streams
playing on the big fire from 10 o'clock
Sunday morning until about o'clock yes
ttrday morning when they went out of
service. On account of the large guam
tity of wood in the destroyed factory the
/ fire at times was hard to handle"
| When the Wilmington tircmen left
/, Salisbury the fire was still burning but
| was under good control. During the
STAY meals were served all the firemen at
the Peninsula Hotel at the expense of
the Jackson Bros. Co., owners of the
large factory which was saved. On their
departure from Salisbury appropriate ad-
dresses thanking the men for their good
work were made by the mayor. president
of Council and the city solicitor Of that

Churchman had the right to impose Il
