Two men dropped In at John Avondet's
dyu shop, 1315 California street, Thursday
afternoon und when the proprietor wasn't
looking each helpud himself to a coat and
vest and walked out.
This llttlo Incident set In motion a train
of circumstances which Included a ten-block
foot race, a fight In which five men partic
ipated, two black cyos, a broken hend, two I
arrests and moro excitement In and about 1
lloagland's lumber yard than tho vicinity I
has known for months. It all came about
through old man Avondct'a seeing tho
thieves as they left his place. Ho took after j
thum, baying llko a fox hound on a hot
scent. Illock after block they ran, tho
thieves Just out of arm's reach, down Thir
teenth street to Dodge and thenco eastward
on Dodge, the crowd behind taking on ac
cretions at every leap. At Ninth and Dodge
Ofllccr Mlko McCarty Joined In tho racei A
block farther down Chief Donahuo and Cap
tain Hayes fell Into the ruck, and from this
point on tho raco becamo a scramble. It
was no longer posslblo to rncognlzo 1 mil-
vlduals.
To tho main current of the chasing throng
every cross strctt added Its quota of hu
manity. Peoplo of all ages and conditions
converged upon It from every direction. Tha
ruck traveled fast, but nuwi of It traveled
faster and by the time tho fugitives con
cluded to take cover n lloagland's lum
ber yard an advance guaid boro down upon
them from tho front and they stood at bay.
Olllcer McCarty was flist in at tho death
and as tho thieves showed fight bo deputized
Frank Olabb and Joe Ilanuto to help make
the arrcflU One of the culprits, who after
wards gave the namo of John Drennan,
struck Olabb twice, blacking both of his j
oyes and then attempted nn assault upon
McCarty, but received a-"blow on the head
from tho officer's club, which put him to
sleep.
Moanttmc Chief Donahue and Captain
Hayes had arrived, both badly winded, tho
chief having barely breath enough left to
order tho crowd back to give tho patient
nlr. Then some of tho bystanders helped
Captain Hnyes drag tho otbor thief from
beneath a pllo of lumber and the Incident
was closed.
For some time It -wns thought that Dron
nan would not survlvo the blow on tho head,
an ho spat blood for a time and then lapsed
Into unconsciousness, but he was better at
last accounts. Tho thieves were booked as
Dan Williams nnd John Ilrennan and tho
stolen property was recovered.

It. Wemlllnir on "The Mnn of

Tha Young Men's Christian association en
tertainment closed Thursday night with a
lecturo by Oeorgo II. Wcudllng, on "Tho
Man of Galilee." Tho P,oyd theater was
crowded, many being compelled to occupy
chairs on tho stage.
Mr. Wcndllng's handling of his subject In
dicated much careful roscarch and a thor
ough familiarity, with the characteristics
of tho "great Human Poem who trod tho
straRclIng stroots of Nazareth nlnoteen cen
turies ago." Ho approached tho theme, as
ho said, from tho standpoint of reason, but
thero was nevertheless much of tho preacher
In his stylo of delivery. Ho awed his audi
ence. Only onco during tho address did tho
peoplo daro to applaud, nnd that, by an
odd coincidence, was the only time ho canto
down from tho rarefied atmosphere of some
thing approaching transcendentalism and
touched upon something human. Ho con
gratulated tho women upon tho fact that
they attend church moro frequently than
men.
The address was prefaced with a word
plcturo of tho man Jesus.
"Wo havo nover scon from tho brush of
nny of tho great masters," said. ho, "a por
trait of tho Galllecnn that fully met our
approval. Thcro was always something
omitted that should have been thcro or
somifthlng thcro that should luu-o been
omitted. I am not a painter, but I will
glvo you a word plcturo of tho Man of
Galileo as I see Him.
"Ho was tall, strong, of symmetrical
build and becauso of His perfect health and
proportion every movement was graceful.
His complexion was clear and almost trans
parent; Ills brow white; His hair and beard
brown and His oyes blue of that deep,
limpid blue: wo seo In tho sky. In Ills faco
I seo not tho rapturo of a mystic nor the
sternness of a cynic, but a kindly majesty,
a sclf-poraesslon, reposo, calm, love, and
ovor all nn Inflnlto sorrow. Tho completed
picture Is that of a prlnco of tho most royal
blood."

"What Is tho reason, you ask? Well, the
fact Is tho wholo board Is out of tune with

his urgent demands. Ho wanted Mrs. Har
