His arrest brought to an end an exciting chase in which revolver shots and the automobile of Street Superintendent Wright figured prominently. During the pursuit Police Detective Donahue wag thrown violently from his bicycle and it is feared one of his ribs is cracked. Embris, early this morning, attempted to sell a bicycle at a suspiciously low price.

The dealer to which the negro attempted to sell informed the police of the circumstance and Chief Briare and Detective Dona hue hastened to the scene.

At this moment Street Su- perintendent Wright came along in Ms automobile and soon he and Chief Briare were -in pursuit. Meanwhile Detective Donahue secured a bicycle and Joined in the chase.

Mrs. Heydenfeldt, His Mother, May Recover Land on Which Southern Pacific Yards Are Located. Every child in Stockton remembers the Hokey Pokey man, who two years ago sold Ice-cream here while he sang in a big melodious voice, Here comes, here comes that Hokey Pokey man, with his barrel and his can, etc. Well, the Hokey Pokey man, who is really Thor O.

Heydenfeldt of San Francisco and was once wealthy, is likely to become a rich man again, according to the San Francisco Call, which says; It was the Hokey Pokey man and not the searcher of records who discovered that Mrs. Elizabeth O. Hey-donfeldt, widow of the former Justice of the Supreme Court of this State, has an excellent chance of recovering property in this city worth a million dollars. The Hokey Pokey man and his eccentric outfit are frequently seen In the streets. Jaunting along In a broken wagon, drawn by a well fed horse, he is most punctual in presenting himself at one schixdhouse after another when the children are at liberty in order to tempt them with his icecream.

He used to carry a monkey on his wagon to delight the children. The monkey died and so a coon is now playing the part of the menagerie. Hokey Pokey had an interest in discovering that Mrs. Heydenfeldt has an interest in the three blocks near Seventh and Harrison streets, used by the Southern Pacific for yards Hokey Pokey is Thor O. Heydenfeldt, a son of Mrs.

Heydenfeldt. and one of the probable beneficiaries. LEADS ADVENTUROUS LIFE. The vicissitudes that have overtaken Mrs. Heydenfeldt have counterpart of a graver nature in the life of the son who Is now hawking cornucopias at 5 cents each.

When the Spanish war broke out Thor O. Heydenfeldt quit college in Hoboken, New Jersey, enlisted In the regular army and went to the Philippines. On his return he sold some of the property which had been left him by his father and equipped a large expedition for Nome. Returning from Nome the gay youth married. That helped him a little toward getting rid of his $70,000 legacy.

Then he bought a racing stable. That helped some more. Next his wife secured a divorce. After the statutory year had elapsed, but before the final decree had been entered, he married again. The first wife then caused Heyden-feldts arrest on a charge of bigamy.

Because there was only technical violation of the law the case was thrown out of court. Heydenfeldt, however, married his second wife a second time, the second ceremony following the filing of the final decree. MEETS MORE REVERSES. When the fire of 1906 forced the mother into the bankruptcy court the son found himself also without means and so, tw'o weeks after the fire, he became the Hokey. Pokey man.

Within a year he had saved enough to open an ice-cream factory, but the panic of 1907 made it impossible for the children to secure the nickels for the cornucopias and Hokey Pokey failed. He's now back on the wagon shouting his wares to the children and is striving to provide as well for his wife and family as he can. He no longer has any inclination for the gay pleasures ho sought when in affluence and by those who know' him best Is classed as a good citizen, never happy unless out of debt. Another of the Heydenfeldt children Is Rose Monroe, who is in New York with the Lew Fields company. She Show Windows ed August 24, 1909, for.

THE DUMBARTON CUTOFF OPENED FREIGHT CAN NOW BE TAKEN TO SAN FRANCISCO WITHOUT FERRYING. SAN FRANCISCO, September 14. The Dumbarton cutoff of the South-era Pacific from Newark, in Alameda county, to Redwood CUy, in San Mateo county, which cost 14.600,000, has been opened for freight traffic.

Newark will celebrate the opening ot the line on September 24th. The new road, known officially as the California Central railway, is primarily a freight route and will handle, via Redwood City, all overland freight by the Ogden route, the San Joaquin and Northern California local shipments and Oregon and Northwest freight. This will do away with the freight ferry service across the bay, except the ferry service to and from the Davis street local freight At Newark the cutoff connects with the line running to Niles and thence to Tracy, Stockton, Sacramento and all points south, east and north. In crossing the bay at Dumbarton point the company was put to great expense in building a double track steel bridge and trestle 7600 feet in length. The officials say the cost of operating the line will equal that of the ferry freight service, but that (the new service will be faster and better.

Tills will be the first direct rail service into San Francisco from Ogden and Central and Northern California. The question of handling passenger trains over the cutoff nas not yet been considered by the officials.

ATTORNEYS ARE HOPEFUL Lent Humphrey and James G.

Maguire, attorneys for Mrs. Heydenfeldt, are hopeful of recovering title to the property from the Osmonfc heirs, who would soon have gained clear title to tho property under the McKneroey Act. That Mrs. Heydenfeldt went i through the bankruptcy court, however, gives rise to question as to what recourse her creditors will have in tho event of her recovering title.
