10 CHICAGO WON IT. Football at the Haight- Street Park. STANFORD OUT OF FORM. Neither Team Scored in the First Half. ROUGH PLAY BY THE INVADERS.

In the Second Half Chicago Made Twenty-Four Points, Against Four for Stanford. The Chicago football team, in the presence of 4000 spec ators. took a fall out of the Stanford University eleven yesterday afternoon at tbe Haight-street grounds. The home team spurted well, but when pressed on the bomeotretcn it withered and fell before the invaders, who punched them off the earth, so to speak. In tbe first half of the came the representatives cf Paio Alto played excellent ball and defeated their opponents time and again in plays which the Chicago boys were sanguine of making.

Captain Downing of tbe Stanford eleven was overjoyed when he saw how his men were handling their opponents, and tie did DOl hesitate, whenever the opportunity offered, to extend to his athletic srmv Carrying the Pigskin. words of encouragement which, by tho wav, assisted very materially to the success of his team in the first part. The Chicago eleven evidently did not expect to n'eet with such strong opposition, and their captain, when he discovered that rushing tactics were not proving successful, changed orders, and with the introduction of a few new moves nis men made considerable progress. It was nearing the end of the first half that a march was stolen on the Manfoid team which cauie within an ace of landing the Eastern team a winner by at least four points. During a scrimmage one of the Stanford Dlayers fumbled the ball, which "break" was quickly taken advantage of by a 6peedy young man from Chicago who, after placing the oval under his good right wing, made quick tracks for the east end of the field where the Stanford goal posts were located.

The trick was so neatly accomplished that none of the young men from Palo Alto had become aware of tbe sudden departure of the prized leather oval until the athlete iroin the Windy City had put between him and his nearest opponeut BPveriil yards of earth. Down the field he sped like a deer, and with good interference his chances of scoring a touchdown were of the most promising kind. Fortunately, however, for the Stanford team Spalding, who Is a good runner, made a desperate effort to overhaul the fleeting red-stocking. As he was heavily handicapped, he had a task before him which firs-class sprinter could hope to accomplish. The race was of a most exciting nature, and it gops without saying that when SDalding brought bis quarry down within a few feet of the touciiliuo the shouting was of the wildest kind.

The Chicago boys were flushed with the prospects of Victory, and having only a yard or so to gain to score a touchdown they struggled like demons. Inch by inch the ball was forced toward the touchlinn, and when on the chalk mark the referee shouted "Stanford's ball," the Cbicagns having failed to put it over on the fourth down. The announcement created the wildest excitement imaginable and a protest was entered against the decision by the captain of the Culcago team, who manifested his disgust by smashing the umpire on the nasal appendage. The latter re aliated by landiug a return fistic compliment on the captain's jaw. The prosnects of a prizefight on the turf looked decidedly bright until a Doliceman took a hand in the scrimmage and separated the combatant-.

The Stanford team now had the ball and Kennedy placed it a safe distance from the Stanford goal by a good kick, which sent the leather well down toward the centprof the field. The whistle sounded the end of the second halt in a few minutes afterward and the Chicago team left for their dressing compartment an angry lot of men, tbe Stanford boys, with smiling faces, took their departure from the field with congratulations extended from ail quarters. When time was up for the commencement of the second half Chicago bad blood in it's eye. Every man of the team wore look of determination. A spectator with half an eye could see that some rough play was about to be introduced.

The Stanford men locked for trouble, but they were dstermined to take a gruel- Ing and give tbe same in return if need be. When tbe signal was given for play tbp invaders put all their might into the contest, and good hard bucking was the rule. Again and again some of Stanford's men rolled "Ver on their backs, emporarily disabled. It was quick, sharp and determined playing on both sides, but tbe Chicago men seemed to have the better wind and staying qualities, and as the minutes flew by they gained perceptibly on the local team. Tbe capt in of the Eastern eleven had instructed his men to go right in and break up the Stanford's heavy weights at all hazards, and this task, although a difficult one, was finally accomplished by rough piny and quick tactics.

Wyant, tbe center of the Chicago team, was a conspicuous character. Strong as an ox and with the endurance of a mule, he pushed his way through the lines, scoring frequently yards of advantage for bis team. The Palo Alto boys, although making a noble effort to defeat the aims of their opponents, gradually succumbed to the inevitable, and after a most stubborn resistauce tbe invaders scored a touchdown which was immediately followed by a beautiful goal kick, thereby giving tbe first advantage to tbe Chicago team. The phy was ag.tin resumed, and the Chicago boys lost no time in taking advantage of every opening. They were feeling good and strong, and downed their opponents at every turn.

Inch by Inch ttiey gained ground, and it was not many minutes after first six points were scored in their favor when they made another touchdown aud a goal. The Stanford players, this time, had become thoroughly disgusted and having lost eourane and wind they were easily handled the Easterners, who ecored four touchdowns and four goals, against an accidental touchdown which was credited to the Stanford eleven, the score stauding at the finish 24 agaiii9i 4 in favor of tbe Chicago team. The style in which tbe Chicago players tackled their opponents during the game was very noticeable. Instead of following Camp's instructions to tackle low they tackled high and low, and frequently a Stanford player was brought ii by a neck or head hold. Another feature that was very noticeable in the game was the excellent interference put up by the Eastern team, which assisted the players very materially to win the contest.

Their snappy play was also favorably commented upon. The next match of importance will tike tlace on New Year's day, when the Chicago team will up against the big and powerful eleven of the Reliance Club. FROM THE FIELD. How the General Team Work Looked to a Connoisseur. The Windy City Pgdtiegation of pigskin propelleis swooped down upon the Haigrrstreet gridiron yesterday afternoon, and when Dr Harper's football fiends bad betaken themselves frum the scenes of that memorable struggle, shaegy-haired scalps of a cardinal hue were trailing in their dust.

Defeated though not conquered, Stanford abandoned the field to its worihy rivala from the so-called "egotistical metropolis," located on the balmy shore of Lake Michigan. Stanford for the first time in its career bowed its trow to a university eleven. Berkeley, though an able opponent, has succeeded in lowering the Palo Alto colors; but yesterday the tile of prosperity ceased ebbing ou the Stanford shores and that detested foe adversity raged with all the fury Yes, Stanford encountered its first Waterloo yesterday. It wa3 outclassed ana outplayed. Chicago was too much for the dwellers on the coast.

Dr. Harper's boys possessed a greater quantity of football brains. They were on 10 all the tricke, the latest as well as iho ancient. They were the happy possessors of a greater quantity of well-trained pigskin brawn and muscle. Well developed craniunis joined on matchless trained bodies won the game easily for toe Maroons.

The Chicago boys were the first to arrive on the field. They were a fine collection of athletic looking individuals. Their practice ame captivated the cracks. All st ffness and grogainess produced by the tedious journey over the plains had entirely disappeared. It was not long before the Stanford boys put in an appearance.

They looked fresh and hearty, and seemed in high spirits. Confident were they that the whs undecided and that they stood a good chance of winning out if the betting was 3to 5 against them. The first half was a model exhibition of excellent football tacsios. Stanford's playing at times was "brilliant to say the Hirschber.uer Kicking Goals. leant." "Their "defense work," remarked that ever modest and unassuming coach from Chicago as he was retched out on the side lines while the first half war.

in progress, "is simply great. I hardly thought my men would meet with such sturdy resistance. Although their offensive work is good, yet it does not come up to their defensive playing." This opinion of Mr. Stage's was well expressed. Stanford, in the first half, played a very clever defensive game.

Wedges of thunderbolt force were hurled against its line, but at no time did it waver. Chicogo in this same balf did not play the football that it did in tbe last. Tipmen seemed to be a little nervous and somewhat rattled. They loafed too much, as Mr. Stagg well Dut The bncks did not seem to drop In behind their interference in proper time and order.

This marvelous playing on the part of Stanford and rocky work on Chicago's purl made the first half so excit ng and uncertain that neiiher side made a touchdown. At the close of this half Stanford's stock jumped from 3 to 5 up to the tempting odds of 10 to 7 and the went begging. Tne eleven resed on their arms during tbe intermission between the iwo halves, but Mr. Sags was not dozing. He quietly slipped into his a.

srtments and gay them such a calling down that they will never forget It. He iold them that they were asleep and needed very much to come out THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1894. of their trance if tney expected to come out winners. Stag's bits of advice were not unheeied. Quite to the contrary, they appeared 10 charge the men with a football spir.t.

When the intermission was up it was evident that Stan'ord had run its race. The men were blowing hard. Their wind was gone. Lack of preparation was the Chicago was as fresh Except for a little mud bespattered over their unforms one could hardly tell that they had Deen playing at nil. During the second half the regular cranks had tbe pleasure of taKing in a vast amnunt of good football fond.

Enough should have Deen consumed so that no hunger is liable to set in before npxt season rolls around, for it is not probable that another such exhibition will be given to the patrons of the game this season. Words are inadequate to portray to the mind successfully an idea of the football skill which the maroon people displayed to the Sin Francisco public. Fancy tricks were executed with a haste never before witnessed on the coast. Swiftness in putting the ball in play was the feature in which Chicago stood bead and shoulders above Stanford, and, in fact, this seems to be the point where the Eastern people do excel, but speed cuts, a great figure in a pigskin match, and it wits mainly speed which won yesterday's contest. Chicago's interference was nearly perfect.

The eleven worked togettier like clockwork. Every man was found iv his Dlaee. The Windy City boys did not play a particularly new-funglert aaine. The old tackle-back wedge was frequently utilized, while the revolving end wedges have been on for over two years. The ouly novel play introduced was when the ball went cut of bounds to put it in play before the men had lined up.

This worked well the tirst time operated, but the time it whs a total failure. individualism was a prominent feature throughout tne entire game as it is in almost every struggle. Gale, Chicago's left end, was a cracker jack. He was intrusted with the sphere His Chicago Foot Told. many times and found to be a number one ground gainer.

Captain Allen, who is considered to be the bP9t leftguard in the land, to-da? Minched holes of all shapes and in linn, and when the Palo Alto boys became leg-weary be was quit" capable of cunveyinfr a dozen or more down the field. From the bleachers it seemed like a cruel act, but Mr. Alien took it as a joke. Hirschbarger was a wonder at fullback. This stripling did some phenomenal work.

A number of the sensational runs were made by him. Nichols and Ewing made a great pair of halfbacks. Both worked together iv admirable style. For Stanford, it Is bard to tell which kicker acquitted himself the best. While many did well, Abp Lewis.

Cochran, Captain Downing. ana HarreUon perhaps excelled their associates in the art. THE GAME. An Expert's Description of the Exciting Contest. It was just p.

when tbe game was called, and the following men stepped up to line. Chicago. Positions. Stanford a Left ends Lewis Left tackles Kouiletter I eft guards Wyant Centers Hazard en Kight Burnett Roby Hall Lamaye X. tit bpairtlne Quarters Harrelson Mcbols win Left halls Downing Hirscuberger Full backs Kennedy Chicago won the toss and took the ball, while Stanfrd took up with the windy side of the field.

Ilirseiibereer started the fun with a feini kick. Tne ball was downed nut far from the center of the field. By means of a revolving wedge Kennedy was sliot around left end for five yards. On a trestle-back this same Kennedy was conveyed five more yards down the field. Campbell advanced the sphere two paces more.

It was now Chicago's ball on a fumble. Roby in the cer.ter of a tackle-back wedge carried tbe ball back three yurdd. Gale made fiva yards more on the same play. Gale was found 10 be such an available man that he was again given the ball and this time it was five yards more sliced from Stanford's territory. Chicago made a bad break and it looked like Stanford's ball, but a maroon man saved tbe day.

Three yards more on that horrid tackle back was made and then the Stanford kickers did secure possession of the pigskin on an off aide play. Spaiding was set in motion only to be floored by that plucky and dashing little Lamaye. A foul play added ten more yards to Stanford's ground. The Palo Alto boys now attempted to work the wedge racket, bet it was of no use. Every mass play was smashed into smithereeus by "old warhorse" Allen.

Kennedy was called upon to use his foot. HirschbergT should nave slopped the punt, but he didn't, a- the ball was downed dangerously near Chicago's goal line. staried off wiih a gain of four yards. Nichols lollowed with a short gain and there ilirschberger kicked down the field for twenty-foirr yards Kennedy was under it, but was unable to make any gain. Once more StanforJ tried to work the center, but little was, as usual, a stumbling-block tv all such plays.

Cochan made a short advance, and then "Shorty" Ilarrelson worked a feint kick. It was now Chicago's ball. It had gone out of bonds, and it was here that the new trick was used. The Maroons didn't stop to line up, but the ball was put in play while tbe men were measuring off the usual fifteen yards. Ew.na did the act, Htid before Stanford was aware of it he wan up the field for twenty yards or more.

Nichols took the sphere and advanced it two yards more. During this scrimmage Joe Field, the Texas hero, was laid up for repairs. It needed only a breath of ozone to be blown into bis respiratory organs and he was all right again. Gale and Nichols, the half backs, brought upon the carpet and did some very clever ground gaining. The usual gain was about five yards.

Chicago was now working tbe ball rapidly toward Stanford's goal line, but when the cardinal kickers saw tbeir goal heave in sight, they took a great big brace and held the Windy City aggregation up for lour beautiful Harrelton, the fleet little quarter-back, dashed down the field for twenty-five yards. It was a splendid sprint and was liberally applauded. Tne was now stationed in tbe center of the gridiron. Stanford was compelled to kick and the pigskin went sailing high and dry over the picket fence which encircled the field. Ewing, who has local reputation as a hurdler, scaled the inclosure and cap ured the article.

Chicazo asatn attemp ed to operate he "flying play," but iuis lime the Stauford boys were not asleep ami they spoilt at i the fun. Chicago wa3 once more stopped on four downs Captain Allen took a hand in the and planted ball ten yards nearer Stanford's goal. Gil" and Ntcnols each made five yards ai then Allen six This time Air Ail' calmly strode with at least hall dozen niammotu athletes clineing to his frame. A len rather fnjoyed the fun. Chicago kicked ana Kennedy caught the ball, only to be downed in Ms track-.

The pigskin was once more well upon Stanford's goal line. Spalding started iff for ten yards and Downing made seven more. Frankenheimei and Downing also made good gains. Stanford was now playing a star game. It was almost invincible.

Spa Mine made a sassy effort to crcle left end hut was quickly floured. Kennedy puntei thirty-five yards. Nichols was there to meet it, but Frankenneimer brought him down in his tracks. Chicago made a few short games and then was obliged to punt. Stanford likewise was unable to make any headway and lost the sphere on four downs.

Time was now called for tbe first half, neither side failing to make a touchdown. Just before the calling of time a little incident took place which at one time seemed likely to result in a riot. Chicago claimed a touchdown on a down near Stanford's goal line, and to many people, there it looked as if Chicago had scored, but Mr.Pringle, the referee, thought otherwise. This decision and a few others by Mr. Olney, the umpire, made thu Chicago players wrathy.

They called Oluey some very unpleasant names. The umpire said he was insmled and he slanped a player's face gui severely. The offended one did not turn the other cheek, but reluned the compliment. Theentire Chicago team now took a hand in Hie sport, but before auy ciaret was shed peace Wits restored by the coppers and all was well again. The second half opened with a rush.

Chicago forced the fight from the very beginning. Mr. Olney. who made himself so offensive the Chicago people, was dioppnd and Mr. Sherman was substituted in his place.

Kennedy kicked off for thirty yards. Nichols made a spasmodic sprint and brought back the pigskin ten yards. Chicago resorted to kicking and Harrelson pulled down the Hying sphere, but he fumbled and the ball reverted to Chicago. Nichols and Gale made good gains of four and five yards. The ball was now being surely and safely pushed near Stanford goal.

Gale by a magnificent sprint, aided by fine interference, covered twenty yards. It was a beautiful play. Joe. Field was again laid up. nut his senses were restored to him after his lungs bud been iifht-d and his month flushed out with lime juice.

Hirsehberger again made a splendid dash around left end and scored first touchdown of the game. The little halfback kicked the goal like a veteran. Score Chichi. G. Stanford 0.

Stanford kicked oil forty yards. Knap' caught li on the run. Stanford got off sidH and tne usual penalty of ten yards was Inflicted. "Tot" Lamaye then made a little gain of fifteen yards, assisted by his fellow-players. The ball was again well down in Stanford's territory.

Joe Field at last received a shock which retired him from the scene of trouble and Burnett took his place on line. Gule and Nichols were again found to be excellent ground gainers, and they were set in motion not a few times. Chicago fumbled when the pigskin was near its opponent's goal. It was a lucky move for Stanford. At er a few short gains by Spalding and Cocbran the bail again returned to Chicago on a fumble, tiii -ehberger and made up the lost territory when tne Matoods ouce more fumbled when they were close liv on Stanford's goal.

Si aiding was the second man to leave the field. His ear was slightly torn. Freshman Cotton Wits substituted. E-Mng had the honor of making the second touchdown for Chicago after considerable dodging. Score: Chicago 12.

Stanford 0 Stanford kickpd off. After some punting the ball was downed In the center of the field. Allen then took it for ten yards. Laniaye made ashonuain. Stanford then secured Uie ball on a fumble, but was at once held up for four downs.

Js' ichols at this stace made the most remarkable run of the day. After very clever dodgine he covered over seventy yards and scored the third touchdown. Hirschberger, of course, kicked the goal. Score: Chicanes 18, 0. Stanford kicked off.

Hirschberger advanced the bill back fifteen yards. Chicago was given ten yards on an off side play. Hirschbercer produced the next sensatiou and fifty yards. The ball was then pusued over and Chicago scored its four'h and last touchdown. Tbe little fiend, as usual, kicked the goal.

Score: Chicago 24, Stanford 0. Stanford at last became weary of this touchdown business and at once proceeded to check it, and it did it quite successfully. Frankenbeinier, Spalding and Cochran waded up the field against the fiercest kind of resistance and made the only touchdown fur Stanford. Final score: Chicago 24, Stanford 4. Kennedy failed on his goal.

After a few tumbles in the center or the field time wa- failed, and tbis ended the greatest football game of the season. WITH A HAMMER. Furious Fight Between Three Men. They Used a Hammer, Each in His Turn, and made Blood and Hair Fly. There was a three-cornered fight In a room on Hinckley alley at 8 o'clock last night, which, resulted in three men going to jail on charges of assault with a deadly wenpon.

The defendants and nsirticirtants in the case are Charles Filbrant, Louis Holback and Tneodore bel. From accounts gathered of the affray and the badly battered appearance of prisoners it looks like one of the queerest little fights on record. The three men occupied the same room on Hinckley allnv. Yesterday they had been celebrating the holiday together by drinking freely o. the cup that inebriates.

Last nighr, instead of going t'i sleep in chorus as most celebraters do, they begun to quarrel. The qiiarrH lud to harsh and then to blows. Finally one oi them picked up a hammer and struck hia two companions several lusty blows in rapid succession. A ensued and then another secured the iis-mmer and swung It right and left with teliins effect. Not to be outdone in valor, the third of the party secured possession of the hammer and batered his companions.

Accompanying the blows were words unfit for ears polite. This is the substance of the a orv each had to tell in the old City Hall Prison, where they answered questions by freely accusing one another of having done most of i he damage. All of them were badly used. Their heads were fearfully bruised, and long tangles of blood-clotted hair hung from the scalp of Hoi hack. The noise of the melee and the gathering of a curious crowd of spectators attracted the police, aud the three combatants were speedily removed to the police station, where they were put in separate tanks for safety.

Charged With Burglary. John Bernard, a French cook, was arrested in Barharv-Coast yesterday for stealing a coat and vest fr a boarder ft room. He was to the old City Prison ana charged with burglary. DISABLED AT SEA. The Columbia Drifting at Point Reyes.

LONG WHISTLES FOR HELP. Many Hours Motionless on the Waves, BUT SHE WAS NOT IN DANGER. Suspense While Efforts Were Being Made to Get a Towboat Crew in Town. A dispa'ch was received at the Merchants' Exchange last night that the steamer Columbia had broken down off Point Reyes and was lying several miie6 off tne coast in No further particulars excepting matters of detail could be gathered up to au early hour this morning regarding the steamer, and as unusual delay was experienced in getting a towboat out to sea, definite information as to the nature of 'he accident cannot be obtained before some time io-day. The Columbia left this port yesterday at 10 a.

m. for Astoria aud Portland. She had a large list of passengers and a mixed cargo of merchandise. All went well as far as Poiut Reyes, which was passed early in the afternoon. She was seen steaming up the coast on her customary course, but shortly afterward the observer of the United States Weather Bureau at the point noticed she had stopped.

Very soon she began blowing tier whistle. All the afternoon and evening thp Columbia lay to, miles off shore in a northwesterly direction with ncr head againsi the seas. Her whistle kept blowing continuously. It is believed, assistance from some tugs. A little before 8 r.

M. she eitner began to drift or sail down the coast, but the observer could not distinguish which. The steamer Willamette passed her off Point Reyes and saw her lying to, but as no signals of dlsuess were shown no notice was taken of the disabled steamer. The Willamette's captain thought that some trivial break in the machinery had caused the Columbia to stop and mat the break was merely of a temporary nature. Seamen it as their opinion last night 'hat Captain Bolles of the Columbia deemed position quite safe and consequently decided not to seek assistance from the steamer.

If taken in tow by the Willamette his company would nave to pay a heavy bill for salvage. From this was inferred that Bolles deteimined to baat about in ihe oDeu se.a with bis saiis that are just big enough to make the rudder manage the ship until a tui went to him from San Francisco. The Weather bureau reported at 4:30 p.m. a cloudy sky with an east wind blowing thirty ies an hour at Point Reyes. This pretty stiff breeze was in favor of the Ci ltimbia, as it would keep her well off shore in a safe place.

The steamer George W. Elder sailed from here at 4 p. m. and would have reached the Columbia in time to be of assistance after dark should there be any imminent Ihe towboat people were notified early in the evening nf the Columbia's condition but it was 10 o'clock at night before a tit" could be got ready to start. The red-stack boats were at tbe company's wharf, but 'he crews wero scattered round town enjoying Christmas dinner with their friends.

By dint of hard work a mixed crew was got together on Spreckels' wharf and the Fearless was taken out while her reeularcrew knew nothing of her sailing. The Columbia was recently overhauled thoroughly at the Potrero. She is a stanch and "lucky" vessel built by the Cramps in 1880 for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. She Is built with a rJHi bottom for draught over the bar of the Columbia River, though her net tonnage is 1746 tons. At present she makes alternate trips with the State of Calilornia every five days between this port and Portland.

No fears were entertained for her safety last night, and it is likely she will be either in port or on the drydock to-day. CABLE-CAR ACCIDENT. James Ward, a Bicyclist, Injured on Market Street. James Ward of 208 Stevenson street bad a narrow escape from being mangled on Market street yesterday afternoon. He was riding on a bicycle behind Valenciastreet car 40.

At Powell street tbe car stopped, and Ward rode forward to get ahead of it. Just tben the tire of the hind wheel slipped and Ward was thrown aeainst the, car, which started off, and he was dragged along several yards before it was stopped. There was a large crowd at the corner who Buw the accident. The lemalw portion sereauif-d and the men ran to Ward's assistance. He was picked up unconscious and taken to the Receiving Hospital.

Dr. Sotnera found that no bunea were broken, but Ward had orobabiy sustained internal injuries. He recovered consciousness later and complained of pams in his chest and legs. 1119 and underclothing were ripped from his back while he was being dragged along by tbe car. FELL INTO THE BAY.

W. H. Brody, an Angels Camp Business Man, Drowned. Among the passengers who arrived on the steamer T. C.

Walker from Stockton yesterday morning was one who registered as W. H. Brody of Angels Camp. Long before daylight Brody left his stateroom and made his way through a flock of sneep to the boat's kitchen, where he chatted a few minutes with the cook, who advised him to go back to his quarters. Instead of doing so he passed through a laiee aperture in the kitchen wall to the deck, just above the wheel, and was seen no more by the cook.

Half an hour later the cook looked through the aperture and saw something floating in the water below. The object secured by the deckhands and Droved to be Brody's body. It is not known whether his pluuge into the bay was suicidal or accid-ntal. Papers found upon body show that the drowned man was a dealer in general merchandise at Angels Camp. STOLE A DIAMOND PIN.

George Ransom Causes- Excitement at the Ball Grounds. George Ransom, a well-known pickpocket, was arrested on the Haight-street grounds yesterday afternoon and booked at the City Prison on the charge of grand larceny by Policemen Jennings and Wells. Ransom was among the crowd at the grounds and became envious of a pin in the scarf of a gentleman in front of him. The pin had four pearls and a diamond in tne center. He dexterously extracted the pin from the scarf, but his action, quick as It was, did not pass unnoticed, and the cry lhief! thief!" started him on tne run.

A crowd quickly gave chase and Ransom was overtaken and held till the two policemen arrived. As he ran be threw away lie pin, but it was picked up and will be produced as evidence against him. When searched at the City Prison, two other scarf pins were found in his pockets, and the police think he has stolen them. ANTHONY'S GUILE. He Cleverly Captures a Burglar.

Henry Schmitz, a Window-Cleaner, Breaks Into the Residence of Dr. Kenyon. A burglar was captured yesterday afternoon by Detective Anthony with the plunder in his possession. Anthony diSDlaypd a good deal of shrewdness and tact, and deserves great credit for the manner in which he brought the burglary home to the criminal. Be was standing on the corner of Sutter street and Grant avenue wnen he noticed a man coming down Sutter street with a big bundle under his arm.

The man's actions aroused Anthony's suspicions and he followed him as he turned north on Grant avenue. Anthony overtook him and asked him if what he had in the bundle was for sale. The man said it was, but he would like to consult his wife first. Anthony asked him to walk with him to police headquarters. The raau protested, but nad to consent.

At headquarters the man said liis name was Benrv Schmitz and he lived in an alley off Pacific street fie had bought the bundle inn a man on Fourteenth sireetforSl. He aid not know who the man was nor what was in the bundle. The bundle was opened and it contained many articles, including two magnificent fans, ladies' silk goods, playing cards, men's shirts and other uudorclothine. There was also a small piece of embroidery with th ft alphabet on it with the name "Angelina C. Bemts" at the bottom.

In the directory it was found that a lad? of tbat name lived at 419 Bryant street. Anthony went there after taking Schir.itz to the City Prison and showed the piece of embroidery. Miss Bemis recognized it as a present she bad received from her grandmother and which siie had presented to Mrs. Dr. C.

J. Kenyon, 901 Suiter street. The detective linmedistely started off for Dr. Kenyon's residence and displayed me piece of embroidery. Mrs.

Kenyon was surprised to see it, as she had left it in a trunk along with other articles in the cellar. An examination showed that the trunk had been opened and emptied of its contents. Entrance had been effected by forcing open a window in the rear of the house. From a description Anthony gave of Schniitz Mrs. Kenyon said ho was a man who had been cleaning windows in the neighborhood and he had cleaned tiers a few days ago.

Anthony returned to the prison last night and booked Schniitz on the charge of burglary. It is supposed he had made the cleaning of windows a means to become familiar with the interior of the buildiugs for the purpose of robbery. Wanted in Denver. Officer Webber arrived in the city with the necessary papers for the extraaision of Ted Newell, who is wanted there for train-wrecking and highway robbery. Newell escaped from the Denver Jail on October 10 while awaiting trial for assault to murder, along wito two others and they are suspected of wrecking a Santa Pc train that night.

Newell surrendered himself at the Ounty here last week. A reward of $200 had been offered by the Santa Fe Company for his arrest and eonvic ion. The ifficer will leave with him to-day.
