THOROU UCHBREDS
ATTRACT CROWD
Horse Show at HayWards Is
Well Attended in Spite
of Threatening Weather
RUNAWAY CAUSES PANIC
Frightened Stallion Runs
Into Group of Spectators,
Two of Whom Are Injured

HAYWARDS, Feb. 27.-Brightly
gowned women, handsome equipages
and more than 200 splendid specimens
of blooded horsefesh were the fea-
lures of the third annual horse show
at Haywards to-day. In spite of the
threatening weather and the muddy
roads a large crowd attended the
show, people coming from Oakland,
Niles, Pleasanton and even from San,
Jose to view the exhibit of livestock.
At 2 o'clock the parade started from
the corner of Watkins and Castro
streets. headed by the Foresters' band,
and for several hours Shetland ponies,
stations filed past the reviewing
stand. The procession was headed
by C. L. Groffith's Bonnie Direct and
was divided into four classes, as fol-
lows:
First division-Thorough trot-
ting stations, mares, geldings and
colts. Second division - Draught
horses, geldings and colts. Third di-
vision-Double drivers. single drivers,
ponies and saddle horses. Fourth
division-Double carriage horses and
single carriage horses. Legrand Tur-
ner of Haywards acted as grand mar
shall, and beside him as chief aid rode
little Miriam Meek, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. w. c. Meek. The aids
to the grand marshal were Frank
Rose, Niles; Frank Fennon, Liver
more; Charles Windler, Walnut Creek;
John Morris, San Ramon; Harold
Meek, San Lorenzo; S. Mcintosh, John
Smith and Clarence Magnes of Hay
wards. William Mcdonald of Liver
more acted as announcer.
But one accident occurred to mar
the pleasure of the day. A black
stallion owned by c.. NJ. Buck of Hay
wards and driven by his son, Harry
Buck, took fright at fiuttering news
paper near the corner of B and Cas-
tro streets and dashed into the crowd
on the sidewalk, causing a wild stam
pede for safety, in which Mrs. Joseph
Olivera of Ashland and Robert Kuer-
eel of Oakland were thrown down and
severely trampled by the panic
stricken spectators. Miss Miriam
Meek, who was riding the little Shet-
land pony, Robinson Cruso, was di
rectly in the path of the runaway and
had a very narrow escape, the wheel
of the cart to which the big stallion
was harnessed just grazing the pony's
side.

ent was at his best. The score, in
Murdock's favor, was 6-4.
The California Club courts in this
city were crowded with players yes
terday afternoon eager for a game
after their long confinement. All five
courts were given over to doubles.
Only those players who were on hand
early managed to get in a few sets
before the heavy shower drove them
to cover.
A good doubles was interrupted when
three sets had been played. c. j.
Smith and Harry Rolfe won the first
two sets from Drummond MacGarvin
and Sidney Salisbury.
The latter were playing a much
stronger game in the third set, which
they won easily.

WOUNDED THUG
IS IN CUSTODY
One Of the Bandits Who Was
Shot During the Fight at
Milford Gives Himself Up
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb. 27.-One
of tAe Calientes bandits, who precipi-
tated the battle in a San Pedro pas
senger coach at Milford at midnight,
appeared at the Milford pumphouse at
4 o'clock this morning and gave him
self up. He is fatally wounded. He
is shot through the groin and has
bullet in his left side He gave the
name of c. H. Moore. He said he had
lain close to the track since the bat
tie in the car, which resulted in the
wounding of Marshal Hickman and
an Italian passenger, whose name is
not known. The wounded bandit is
being cared for at Milford, but he can
not recover.
Posses are out in all directions
securing the country for the other
robber, who is supposed to be hiding
somewhere near by. officers on both
ends of the San Pedro line have been
furnished his description and are
watching for him. On the person of
the robber who surrendered was found
$50. In the hold-up at Calientes last
Tuesday night about $4,000 was Sc
cured. The officers believe that the
bandit who is still at large took his
companions share of the booty from
him when it became evident that the
latter was too badly wounded to at
tempt escape.

THE RUNNING TURF THE TENNIS COURTS AND THE FELL
JOE LESSER DOWNS NIGRETTE A HEAD
FOR HANDICAP AT OAKLAND TRACK
CeIebrant, Ridden
by Spencer, Is
a Winner.

There was an excellent attendance
at Oakland track yesterday despite the
threatening aspect Of the weather.
The feature event of the card was a
$1,000 handicap over one mile and fifty

at the start, Lord Melbourne keeping
up 10 the far turn and there giving up
second position TO Nigrette, the 81

saddle. Soon after getting straight
ened away for the stand Nigrette
passed the favorite. and there looked
10 be nothing TO il but getting in line.
Now while Knapp had been indiscreet
in not saving ground, Bonner, astride
Joe Lesser. rode a very close race, and
coming with a rush at the paddock,
caught Nigrette all in, winning by a
head. The winner was TO 1 through
out the betting. Kenilworth finished
third.
The betting ring was crowded and
business was brisk as usual on half
holidays. Muddy tracks are responsi-
bic for many hard-luck stories, and of
course a tale Of apology goes with
each beaten choice yesterday, Of which
there were four.
Nara G, the 10 favorite for the
first event, a five and a half-furlong
sprint. broke down hopelessly, which
left the race practically a cakewalk
for the second choice, Elliott. The

CITY AUDITOR BAEHR
MUST ANSWER CHARGES
Civil Service Commissioner Alleges He
Has Violated the Law I'm His
Temporary Appointments

The Civil Service Commission has
cited Auditor Baehr to appear before
it tomorrow night to explain certain
alleged infractiOns of the civil service
rules in the employment of temporary
clerks in his Office.
Baehr and the commission have had
several clashes owing to a difference
Of opinion concerning the employ
ment of temporary employees. The
commission claims that by an investi-
cation of the Auditors books a num-
Der of employees engaged for tempo
rary periods were never certifcated to
the commission. The commission
claims to have found further viola
tiOns of the civil service law, but de-
clines to make them public until Baehr
has been heard from, declaring that
it does not desire to take snap judg-
ment upon him.
Baehr's attorney, William II. Cobb.
and his chief deputy. John G. Leibert,
appeared before the Civil Service Com
mission last Thursday and We're fur
nished with a copy of the findings OF
the commission. They promised to file
an answer thereto By next Monday
night.
1t is said that the matter involves
the payment of several thousands Of
dollars in salaries to nOn-civiI service
clerks, whose appointments were never
approved by the commission, as the
charter requires.

played down from 10 to Az, only lost
the place by a nose.
Gloomy Gus, the lukewarm to
favorite for the kindergarten half-mile
scramble, was much the best, but met
with all sorts of i'll racing luck. Bell
rode the Burns & Waterhouse entry
and soon after the start was cut off
by Bob Ragon, ridden by Bonner
Later on he had to pull UP for a space
of thirty yards to avoid being carried
to the outside fence by Golden Idol.
Bonner on Ragon escaped this mud
die and won by three lengths. Gloomy
Gus finished strong, beating out My
Order a length for the place. Sac
charate tired the last part of it, run
ming fourth.
1t was through no cleverness on the
part of Holbrook that old Pat Nor
rissey took the third, a six-furlong
selling run, for the boy tried every
way in the world to toss it off. On
form Pat looked about the best thing
of the day and his price was forced
down from to to /. Pure Dale
iumped away in the lead, followed by
Alice Carey. Both turned very wide
into the stretch and instead of saving
four or five lengths Holbrok took Pat
out. too, and waited to split the two
leaders. BY chance he finally did,
scoring cleverly by length. J. /.
Sheehan, on Pure Dale, was so inter-
ested in what was transpiring behind
him that Alice Carey snapped up the
place by a nose. Goddess of Night
ran a very mild race and at 80 or 40
to ] some day may display more speed.
Henry Spencer, "the iceman," has
not forgotten how to put one over the
plate by any manner of means. Henry
rode the heavily played Celebrant in the
seven-furlong number for three-year-
olds and led Mike Daly's Judge out
with something to spare. The last
named colt had a decided call in the
betting over the other starters, and no
excuses can be offered for him. Spen-
Ger on the winner made nice turn
into the stretch, and at all stages of
the running held the favorite safe.
Soufriere came out of retirement and
with no vast amount of racing luck
beat Solanus for show honors. Sir
Appleby was also pinched out of his
position on the back stretch.
After an extended vacation Forest
King faced the webbing again in the
last, a mile and seventy yard selling
event, and the Oregon horses friends
were all down good and thick. At the
close he was equal favorite with Hahn
ault. Forest King was never partial
to weight, and his 10 pounds proved
too much excess baggage Hainault,
extremely well handled by Travers,
had the speed of the party and made a
runaway race of it Forest King ran
second five lengths in advance of
Diderot.
Bonner piloted two winners.
Twenty-one bookmakers cut in.
Vanderbout, now under contract to
