Thero Is probably no event In the sporting world, not excluding the big auto races.-ln which there, are more thrills to tho square inch thnn In these New Year's S chariot races. Nearly every year some magnificent team of four horses hitched to a springless chariot dashes madly around tho half mile track In a wild runaway. Lassoed by Cowboy On New Year's day 1905 Off's team also bolted. That time they wero chased by a cowboy who lassoed them nnd saved their, driver. Last New Year's day this same, cowboy attempt ed to again check Off's four when they Mnrted to run. He bumped Into the team too hard, throwing tho horses. In a trice the end of the polo of the char lot was burled In the track and' the. 'chariot Itself hurled In tho air, throw ing the driver to the. track and nearly dislocating his neck. | All tills happened In front of the grand stand and those who saw the affair got their moneys worth If thrills count as the maddened four, now freed from the chariot, dashed' around the track while with clanging bell an am bulance was hurried to take the un conscious Oft from tho path of the rushing horses. One thing Is very' probable this year and that is that every driver will have to undergo a^.physleal examination be fore he will be allowed to compete. In order to drive a team ot trained racers four abroast.lt takes an arm like that 'of Hercules. The ■ races this year will probably see only men entered who could. nearly hold a cyclone.

VKNIC'K, Sept. 26.— 0nc0 ngaln tho air Is full of rumors concerning changes, supposed to bo pending, af fecting tho ownership and general amuHomcnt character of this resort.

It Is said that plans for this Improve ment are well under way and that the work will bo given out under contract during the coming winter. > Another report that Is being taken seriously is that the Los Angeles-Pa clflc will reduce the round trip rate to all Santa Monica points and that the change will go Into effect within thirty days. The presence hero today of several rnllway officials who, accompanied by Mr. Klnney, looked over the site of the proposed $200,000 hotel, for which a foundation was laid more than a year ago, Is also supposed, to have a local significance.

Tho young man balked for nn Instant, but, acting upon his friend's ndvlee, hn obeyed the be hest. Ho was relieved ot seventy-five cents. Ho was unable to give nn accurntc description of the two men who Inter rupted his conversation. About 10 o'clock Harry D. Mooro and J. H. Robinson,' prominent business men, were halted at Fourth street nnd Linden avenue by two armed men. Robinson and Moore were relieved of a few conts each nnd Moore's watch was taken. The robbers then commanded their victims to retrace their steps up Fourth street. This they did for a short distance, yelling lustily as they ran: "Robbers! Robbers!" The robbers ran from the corner to Fifth and Linden where they disap peared among some palm trees. The police were notified but no clues were obtainable. ■ Ray Shaw and Ed Herman, both wearing special police stars, were stand- Ing but a fe.vv hundred feet away and saw the meeting distinctly. They could not see the revolvers, however, and supposed the men were acquainted and hurl stopped to engage in conversation. A short time before this hold-up was committed a call for police was sent In, purporting to be from Orange avenue and Anaheim road. After Investigation the police decided that this was a fake perpetrated to lure the officers away from the main part of the city. Conductor Williams, employed on a local line of the Pacific; Electric, re ported to the police that on last Monday night he met a hold-up man at Sixth street and Cedar avenue. Williams said the fellow stepped out from behind a tree, carrying a bludgeon and started toward him. The conductor turned and ran back to tho car barns, where he armed himself with a revolver. He had considerable money with him at the time. ..When he started on his second trip toward home he proceeded undis turbed. The watch taken from C. N. Waltft of the Inner Harbor Iron works by hold up men last Sunday night was found to day In a yard adjoining the foundry. The watch looked as though It had been carefully placed on the ground. The best descriptions yet obtainable of the two hold-up men. who are sup posed to have turned all the five tricks In thnt line here lately, were given by Moore this morning. \ He Raid that both highwaymen wero slender.

WOMAN WINS DIAMOND CASE SPICY TESTIMONY LEADS TO SUDDEN TERMINATION Defendant Says Brlggs' Mother.in. Law Figures in the Gem Mys tery — Marriage by a Female Dunkard Special to The Herald. PASADENA, Bopt. 26,-The examina tion of Mrs. Emma Howard-Stokes, charged, with the embezzlement of a quantity of dtnmonds and other Jewel ry from Henry lirlggH of 190 Center street, came to n sudden termination at a ' late hour this afternoon, when Deputy District Atorney E. J. Flem ing moved that the case against the woman be dismissed. The examination today was one of the spiciest episodes In the history of court proceedings in Pasadena. During the course ot the examina tion, which lasted nearly all day, there was a warm passage at arms between Fleming and Attorney Allender for the defense, tho " He direct was ex changed a couple of times and one man confessed to having lived with the de fendant for ' four years after a mar riage ceremony which he later found was of no force. That really freed Mrs. Howard-Stokes and was her reasonable explanation of the way In . which she happened to have the gems in her possession. . She charged that Brlggs' mother-in law, Mrs. Mary E. Lanterman of Ohio, had advanced money by means of a draft given to her for the funeral of Brlggs' wife. She charged that before Mrs. Lanter man did this she made Brlggs give the jewels into her (Mrs. Howard-Stokes') possession as security that he would return the money. This money, $250, was .to be paid Mrs. Howard-Stokes, who In turn was to make the case right with Mrs.;Lanterman. '.'-.-"< Mrs. Howard-Stokes also proved that,, while Briggs did not. know she had gone to a small place near Stock ton, Mrs. Lanterman did. It looked to the court very much like a variation of tho standard mother-in-law joke and the case was dismissed accordingly. While on the stand B. J. Stokes ad mitted that he and ' Mrs. Howard- Stokes had been married by a woman of Dunkard faith and that the mar riage had never been recorded. He stated that they had lived together for years before they discovered that they were not married. . ' Low railroad rates to San Dlcgo, Y. Mi G; A. EMERGES FROM .
