adherents are in complete control OF the
state democratic convention, which conven-

dispelled and only Parker and anti-Hearst
men are left to carry out the work of the
convention.
The eighth district caucus was marked
by the resignation of District Committee
man Maxwell, one of the strong supporters
of Hearst. The resignation included the

His Judgment Almost Unerrinp


He not only hired checkers to watch
the early morning trials of horses but
watched them himself No one will ever
know how many stable boys and Jockeys
were on his pay roll, furnishing him every
day the information as to the condition OF
the racers that made it possible for him
10 select the winners with almost unerring
judgment.
He knew horses as no man has ever
known them OF probably ever will know
them Watching them as they paraded
past the grandstand he could tell their
chances, their condition. He made a study
or horses and knew them better than any
thing else.

not drink, smoke or gamble. and his mother

A Mexican Wonder,
From the Mexican Herald.

The physicians of the Juarez Hospital had
something very unusual to talk about all
day yesterday. Ramon Espinosa, who was
murdered some three or four days ago,
was taken to the hospital for an autopsy.
When the physicians were saving the
skull the saw touched a strange object, and
as the physician attempted to continue his
work the saw was broken in two places.
Another saw was brought and the skull
opened, when 1t was found that the strange
object was big steel piece, half the blade
of knife that evidently had been there for
years. Even the scar produced by the
mans forehead. How this man could live
with the steel piece in his skull Is some
thing that physicians have been unable to
explain.
