THE RACE MEET.

The three days racing, July 3, 4
and 3, were quite interesting and
| furnished diversion for large crowds
each day. The Association was
somewhat handicapped, however,
on account of lack of runners.
/ There were hut 9 horses in training
and with three or four races to Gil
each day it took the entire strings
to make racing at all. OF course
this does not apply to saddle horse
races, but there seemed to be little
interest taken in the latter by the
local vaqueroes. Burns used to
have some of the best saddle horse
races on earth with all kinds Of en-
tries. The Association may make
new conditions for such races in fu-
ture that will insure better ones.
The horses should be ridden by the
boys themselves, with stock sad
dies.
The horse men at the meet just
closed had things pretty much their
own way on account of so few hors.
e.. The Association had to show
leniency and allow privileges that
would otherwise have been different
bad there beeu a sufficient number
of horses to make things 20. 1t
was a success 20 far as the big,
good natured crowd was concerned
nevertheless and paved the way for
a good meet at the fair in October.
The results were:

MACKENZIE TELLS
OF CONSPIRACY.
Deposed Harbor Commits
sioner Says Crocker Broke
Faith in Seating Mattos
OPPOSITION PLANNED

A sensation was sprung in the course
of the Harbor Commission injunction
hearing in Judge Seawell's court yes
terday morning when John ID. Macken-
zie testified on the witness stand to
facts which in effect amounted to a
confession of conspiracy entered into
last spring with Commissioner Henry
]. Crocker TO oppose the seating of any
Commissioner appointed by Governor
Pardee. and which further practically
charged Crocker with failure to keep
his part of the agreement.
Mackenzie declared that prior to
Aprfi Is Crocker promised to stand by
him in any contest against the seating
of any successor to his place should
Governor Pardee make such an ap-
pointment, but that when the meeting
OF the board on October 81 was called
for the purpose of acting on Senator
Mattos' credentials Crocker not only
refused to take open action against
Maftos. but even attended the meeting
of the board, when by staying away
his absence would have resulted in a
lack of quorum and defeated the
seating of MattOs as a member of the
body

Mrs. (. q. Borden Stays an
Effort to Serve Eviction
Papers on Courts Order
THEN TAKES POISON

With shotgun in her hands and q
threat on her tongue, Mrs {sorden OF
13S Capp street, wife of E. c. Borden
who recently attained notoriety By
bringing charges of attempted Jury
bribing against woman in connection
with the Di Ryana- -Carta forgery trial
successfully foiied yesterday an effort
on the part OF a Deputy Sheriff 10 serve
her with a notice of eviction from the
house which she and her husband oc-
cupy. She followed this act by at
tempting suicide with laudanum. but
quick medical attention resulted in
saving her life.
short time ago a suit in unlawful
detainer was brought against Borden
By Mrs. Kate \. Bihan. owner of the
fat occupied by the Bordens. and re-
suited in an order of the court that
the premises be vacated at once and
that Borden pay Mrs. Bihan 500 and
costs OF her suit. This order was not
obeyed. although Mrs. Bihan claims
that there is four months and a half
rent in arrears. Borden reported Thurs
day to the Sherifrs ONCE that he was
removing the furniture from the house
but Mrs. Bihan declared that only a
portion of the goods were taken out
and that the carpets, stove and furni-
ture and necessities for continuing
housekeeping were retained.
Friday night Mrs. Bihan called at
the house and begged with tears I'm
her eyes that the Bordens leave the
place at once. She says that Borden
refused TO listen to her and told her
that he would remain six months long
er and pay no rent for the fiat. 1t was
as result of this visit that Deputy
Sheriff Jesse Gallsnd was sent from
the Sherih's Office yesterday morning
10 carry out the order of the court
but the service of the eviction order
was met with q surprising resistance
on the part of Mrs. Borden.
When Galland reached the house, he
was met at the door by Mrs. Borden.
who carried in her hand a shotgun,
which she leveIed at the Deputy Sher-
IFS head. He took the hint and re-
tired TO a safe distance, but returned

find that~the protector of the house

meut and had taken several spoonfuls

neighboring residence and Galland pro-
cured a doctor, who declared that she

McEnerRsys contention that Mae

principally ON section 1990 Of the Po-
