First the Wife,
Now the Husband, Suspected of Insanity. At
the conclusion of the collection at early mass at the Cathedral yesterday a man
left his seat, and, taking a small meal bag out of his pocket, emptied the
contents of four of the boxes into it. Then he quietly returned the bag to his
pocket and left the church. There were hundreds of parishioners in the
Cathedral at the time but, although the act was performed before their very
eyes, they did not think to interfere. Andrew McNAMARA, however, who used to be
sexton at the church, knew that the proceeding was irregular, and he followed
the man down K Street. At the Post Office he met Hugh CASEY and the two men
decided to take the man to the Police Station. He was recognized as A.J. SILVA,
a grocer of some means at Fourth and N Streets.
“They told me I
could have a dollar for every dime I put in,” said SILVA to Sergeant PLUNKETT. “There
is only $10.05 here, and as I put in a half, the church owes me $41.”
The Sergeant
locked SILVA up, pending an investigation. This morning he was taken to the
County Jail to be examined as to his sanity.
SILVA owns a ranch down the river, and is reported to be worth $30,000
or $40,000. The other day he sent for five sheep and met them on the road in charge
of the herder. One of the sheep appeared to be very tired and SILVA told the
herder to keep it there until he should send for it. He returned to town and
dispatched a wagon for the mutton. Then he got a couple of veterinary surgeons,
killed the sheep, and caused an examination to be held to determine what was
the matter with it. They reported that the sheep had been afflicted with
pneumonia.
SILVA decided to
give the deceased sheep a first-class funeral. He ordered a hack and a span of
white horses at KENT’s stables. When Driver NIXON appeared with them he said
that two white horses would not be enough; he wanted seven of them. Dixon
returned his rig to the stable without attempting to fill the strange order.
After that SILVA telephoned for the seven horses but the stableman paid no
attention to him. A strange fate seems
to have descended on the house of SILVA. But a few weeks ago Mrs. SILVA was
arrested on complaint of her husband for plotting against his life. A man
appeared at the preliminary examination and testified that he had been chosen
as the instrument of murder. According to his story Mrs. SILVA had offered him
$40 to knock her husband on the head and get him out of the way. Such was the
character of the testimony brought out that Judge ANDERSON required Mrs. SILVA
to give bonds to keep the peace. Afterward
she was released on a writ of habeas corpus.
SILVA then caused his wife’s arrest on the ground of insanity. She was examined
by physicians of repute and declared sane. Mrs. SILVA took a hand at matters
herself by instituting suit for divorce against SILVA. This was not opposed,
and Mrs. SILVA was soon free, not only from any criminal charge, but from SILVA
himself. It is said that in the property settlement she received $3000.
That SILVA is
insane there seems little doubt. But the strange feature of the case is that
the couple should have lived here so many years, reared a family here, and that
never at any time up to within the past few months should there have been a
suspicion as to their being otherwise than a perfectly sound mind.

Frank SMITH, the first man to be arrested in Sacramento
for violating the ordinance prohibiting expectorating on the sidewalks, was
arraigned in the City Justice’s Court this morning.
When the complaint was read to SMITH he said
to Justice ANDERSON that he would enter a plea of guilty.
“I had been arrested by Officer Max FISHER,”
said SMITH, and was being taken to prison on another charge. I did spit upon
the sidewalk, but I did not know there was a law against doing so.”
“Well, you know it now,” said the Judge. “I
believe that I will make it a rule to fine all such offenders $5 each. That
will be your fine, and in default of payment you will have to serve two days in
the City Prison.” “That is the limit of the law,” observed City Attorney DE
LIGNE. Chief of Police SULLIVAN said to
a Bee reporter to-day that every effort would be made to take all offenders
into custody. Particular attention would be paid to the Chinese, he said, as
they are very offensive in the matter of violating the ordinance. The Chief
believes that if two or three Chinamen are arrested the others will soon learn
that it is wrong to expectorate upon the walks and they will quit it.
morning on a charge of perjury. He had just
been brought back from Nevada County, where he had been arrested, by County
Detective GOLDEN. District Attorney BAKER advised the arrest of COUGHLIN. According to the complaint COUGHLIN swore
falsely to a license to wed Miss Gertrude DICKINSON, of this city. To the
Deputy County Clerk, it is alleged he swore that he was 21 years of age. It has
since been learned, it is claimed, that COUGHLIN is not more than 19 years of
age. The young man was without counsel
and his case was continued until next Monday morning.
(From the Grass Valley Union, February 22d.)
F.E. WADSWORTH, of the Herald, was assaulted
in the National Hotel, Nevada City, yesterday, by Charles McELVEY. The latter
had a fancied grievance against the editor, who was taken unawares by McELVEY.
A warrant was sworn out in Justice COUGHLAN’s Court for the arrest of McELVEY
on a charge of assault and battery. He immediately pleaded guilty, but Justice
COUGHLIN reserved sentence until to-morrow morning, in order to have time in which
to investigate the case.
1900: Jos. LUDES, Sidney W. SMITH, H.C. FINLAY, Chicago; G.M. PIPER, Port Washington; Dr. L.P. HALL and wife, Dixon; Chas. F. EARL, Boston; J.A. SPRAGUE, Denver; Mrs. O.E. WILLIAMS, Miss O.E. WILLIAMS, Oakland; Horace A. LAY, Westfield; C.A. THURSTON, Wm. BURD, Mrs. M.M. HATCH, E.H. CASTLEN, H.C. KENNEDY, John B. KELLY, H. KOHLER, David D. STEPHEN, J.J. MURPHY, Amos F. SEWELL, Roger B. FRIEND, E. McCRAITH, San Francisco.
The matter of the accounts of Receiver
O’NEIL, connected with the Union Building and Loan Association came up to-day
in Judge JOHNSON’s Department of the Superior Court and was continued.
Owing to the absence of Judge JOHNSON in San
Francisco, Judge HUGHES sat in Department Two this morning. The trial calendar
in that Department was continued one week.
and about notorious houses on lower L Street,
to-day pleaded guilty in City Justice’s Court to a charge of vagrancy. He was
sent to jail for sixty days. Frank
SMITH, a vagrant of the same (rest of article cut off).
Joseph da Rosa, alias Joseph ROSE, a young
man who had his preliminary examination in the City Justice’s Court a few days
ago on a charge of having secured money from Alfred NUNES, a Sacramento
saloonkeeper, by false pretenses, was in the Court again to-day to learn his
fate. DA ROSA, who represented himself
to NUNES as the son of a rich man in Portugal, succeeded in getting the sum of
$102.50 from NUNES. He showed to NUNES a letter of credit which he claimed had
been written by his father. The letter
asked people to let his son have any sum of money he might need if he were in
distress and he (the father) would promptly repay it. Young DA ROSA was a
well-dressed, honest-appearing young man and, having a glib tongue, he readily
induced NUNES to let him have money from time to time. Justice ANDERSON, in giving his decision,
said that intent to defraud had been clearly proved. It had been shown by the
testimony of Father GLORIA that the defendant, when accused of having swindled
NUNES out of his money, had sneeringly said:
“Well, the only way you can get money from
the Portuguese is by stratagem or trick.”
Justice ANDERSON held DA ROSA to answer to
the Superior Court, fixing his bail at $2000. The decision of the Court
staggered DA ROSA.
John FREEMAN, a laboring man, was in the City
Justice’s Court to-day to answer to a charge of battery. He had been arrested
at a late hour last night upon the complaint of his wife, who told Judge
ANDERSON that he husband had struck her and had threatened to kill her. When FREEMAN was arraigned he pleaded not
guilty. The wife took the stand and
swore that while her husband had not struck her last night he had shoved her
about the room. He was angry, she said, because supper was not ready and
because he could not get any money from her. She became alarmed and left the
house and caused his arrest. Mrs.
FREEMAN said that she has been married to FREEMAN fifteen years and they
have seven children. She said that he frequently gets drunk and abuses her,
although she could not tell of any time when he had actually struck her. The
woman said that she has a very hard time getting along, as it is difficult,
sometimes, to get enough food to feed all mouths. Whenever she can get anything
to do she goes out to work and frequently takes in washing. She gets some help
from her little son and daughter, who are compelled to go out to work.
Justice ANDERSON said that a case of battery
had not been made out against FREEMAN and discharged him. He advised the woman
to let the officers know if her husband abused her any more.
“I don’t care what you do with him.” said
Mrs. FREEMAN, “I only want him to keep away from me. I will not live with a man
who treats me in such a manner. I shall get a divorce from him.”
(Rest of article cut off).
Word comes from Redding of the disgraceful
doings there of a man whose name is given as A.L. BASSETT, but whose
description shows him to be none other than C.A. BASSETT, a cowardly ruffian
who once made Sacramento his abode.
According to statements emanating from
Redding, BASSETT, who was tried there last month for a murderous assault on Tim
SHEA, is now wanted on another charge - one preferred by 17-year-old Dora
STOLZ, of San Francisco. A dispatch from
Redding says:
“Though an ex-convict and possessed of only
one arm, Bassett is a very suave individual. Upon being liberated from the
County Jail he went to Keswick and arranged with the owner or the Blue Wing
Saloon to secure a number of girls from San Francisco for a dance hall to be
run in connection with the saloon. BASSETT in due time obtained a number of
girls. To young Dora STOLZ and her mother he represented that he wanted the
former to come and live with him and an imaginary wife, at Kewsick. When the
trusting girl arrived in the smelter town Bassett tried to persuade her to
become an inmate of the dance hall. She stubbornly refused whereupon BASSETT is
said to have drugged her into unconsciousness. When the girl recovered and
realized the truth she told her store to Justice D.A. THOMPSON, crying piteously.
A warrant was issued for BASSETT, but he had been warned and made his escape.
The girl has been sent back to her home in San Francisco.
This paper had the valued privilege of
exposing him in that role to the contempt of all decent men.
Judge BUCKLEY, at that time on the Police
Bench, sentenced him to sixty days’ imprisonment in the County Jail for beating
an unfortunate woman with whom he was then consorting, named Delia McRAE. Afterwards BASSETT went to Placer County
where he was convicted of the crime of robbery and sentenced to San Quentin
Prison for a term of years. He also had a State notoriety as a “crooked” foot
racer.

SILVA
IN THE VIOLENT STAGE.
A.J. SILVA, who was declared insane a week
ago by Judge JOHNSON, and whose wife was some time ago accused of hiring a man
to kill him, but was released on habeas corpus proceedings, was to-day taken to
the Stockton Asylum. SILVA has grown rapidly worse since he has been confined,
and for the past few days it has been impossible to keep clothes on him. He
came out of his cell this morning stark naked, and it required the services of
several men to get him into presentable shape to send to Stockton.
In the petition of SILVA’s former wife (a
divorce having been granted her) and of Frank J. SANTO to be appointed guardian
of SILVA with the care of the estate, SANTO was to-day appointed by Judge
HUGHES, and his bond set at $5000.
Hugh MAULDIN appeared in the City Justice’s
Court this morning to answer to the charge of battery which had been sworn to
against him by his wife on Monday last. When the case was called W.W. RHOADS,
attorney for Mrs. MAULDIN, arose and
asked that the charge be dismissed. He said that the trouble between Mr. and
Mrs. MAULDIN had been amicably settled outside of the Court and the City
Attorney had consented to a dismissal of the case. In answer to a question by
the Court, Attorney RHOADS said that Mrs. MAULDIN had not suffered any personal
injuries.
Judge ANDERSON dismissed the case. He said,
however, in doing so, that when Mrs. MAULDIN asked for the warrant for the
arrest of her husband that he expected she would appear, and ask to have him
discharged.
The Scottish
Union and National Insurance Company has filed notice of dissatisfaction with
the costs claimed by the plaintiff in the suit won against it by Frank
RUHSTALLER, and has asked that the same be taxed by the Court.
W.R. STRONG, guardian of Alzina WILKINS, an

George Kelly’s Suicide
Last night Coroner McMULLEN and a jury held an
inquest over the remains of George P. Kelly, who committed suicide last Sunday
evening at his home on Sixth street, by swallowing poison. A number of
witnesses testified that Kelly had acted in a queer manner all day Sunday,
talking almost constantly about a certain greyhound. The jury found that the
deceased came to his death from carbolic acid poisoning, self-administered.
Vice
and Woe Caused by Side Entrances
A meeting of the Sacramento Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children was held last evening. Reports from officers
showed that twenty cases had been treated from February 1st. The
principal cases attracting the attention of the Society now are neglect,
leading astray and intemperance.
A Committee representing the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union appeared and asked the Society to indorse their
appeal to have the side entrances to saloons closed. The Society adopted the
following preamble and resolution:
“Whereas, the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children has been appealed to express itself concerning the movement
to prevent the keeping of saloons having side or private entrances, or alley
means of ingress and egress, for customers:
“Resolved, That this society, while confining
itself wholly to the purposes of the organization, deplores the existence of
private side and alley entrances to saloons, its statistics showing that more
than three-fourths of the vice and woe with which the Society deals is due directly
or indirectly to influences traceable to secretive, or partially secretive,
liquor drinking by those who do not ordinarily visit saloons by public
entrances.”
School Boundaries Changed
At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday afternoon, W.A. GETT, on behalf of a number of residents of Capital
and Goldberg School Districts, presented a petition asking that the boundary
lines of the districts be changed by taking certain territory from Capital
District and annexing it to the Goldberg District. The petition was approved by
the County Superintendent of Schools HOWARD.
The prayer of the petitioners was granted.

Sacramento Saturday Bee
June 29, 1901
About 9:30 o’clock last night, Mrs. John J.
Dwyer, of San Francisco, formerly of Sacramento, was drowned in the Sacramento River
at a point alongside the grain corral near Grimes Landing, Colusa County.
Accompanied by her husband, John J. Dwyer,
his brother, William Dwyer, and Miss Edna CARROLL, of Sacramento, Mrs. Dwyer
took passage on one of the steamboats of the Sacramento Transportation Company
in which the Dwyer estate is interested, for a brief outing up the stream.
The night was extremely warm, and the
suggestion was made by one of the members of the pleasure party when the boat
touched at Grimes Landing that they go in swimming off a sand bar a short
distance from the landing. It was a moonlight night, and it was thought that
the sport could be indulged in without danger.
The four young folks were bathing in the
water when, suddenly, Mrs. Dwyer was caught in s whirlpool. Her danger was at
once recognized by her husband and brother-in-law, and they strove desperately
to rescue her, but without success. William Dwyer, in his endeavor to draw Mrs.
Dwyer from the whirlpool, was himself almost drowned and he was brought to shore
unconscious.
Dr. LUHMAN, of Colusa, was immediately sent
for. Meanwhile, restoratives were applied, with such good effect that Mr.
Dwyer’s life was saved, although he was still in a very weakened condition when
Dr. Luhman prescribed for him.
A search was immediately made for the body of
Mrs. Dwyer, and it was found an hour later near the point where it had gone
down in the swirling water.
The place where the party went in bathing was
a sand bar, and it was thought that the slope was gradual enough not to
endanger the bathers. But it appears that beyond the bar the water is over
twenty feet deep, and the river, as is characteristic of the stream elsewhere,
is very treacherous.
The body of Mrs. Dwyer was taken to Colusa
and brought to Sacramento to-day, accompanied by the surviving members of the
party.
The first information of the sad accident was
received in this city late last night at the place of business of John C. ING,
President of the Board of Trustees, who is a brother of Mrs. Dwyer. After the
session of the Trustees last night, Mr. Ing accompanied one of the members on a
drive in an effort to get a breath of cool air, and it was not until his return
at a late hour that the sad intelligence was made known to him of his sister’s
tragic end.
The circumstances of the drowning, however,
were not known to members of the family until communicated to them this morning
by The Bee, which had sent to Grimes Landing for the information.
Mrs. Dwyer was a Sacramento girl, having been
born and reared here, and having been graduated from the Sacramento High
School. Her sister, Miss Martha Ing, died a few years ago, and a short time age
her aged father passed away. She was held in high esteem by the young people of
the city. The blow of her drowning is a terrible one to her aged mother and two
brothers in this city, who have the sympathy of the entire community.

BEAL ELLIOTT DROWNED IN RIVER
WHILE FISHING
This morning about 10:30 o’clock a 16-year-old
boy, Beal ELLIOTT, was drowned near the old Paine break, on the Yolo side of
the Sacramento River.
In company with Allyn BURR, son of R.P. Burr,
of this city, Elliott went fishing this morning.
He fell into the water, and Burr made efforts
to rescue him, but without success, his companion sinking for the last time.
The body, up to this afternoon, had not been recovered.
The unfortunate lad was a grandson of Mrs.
Theodore DEMING, with whom he lived, at 2022 W Street.
CAUGHT A BURGLAR; HELD HIM FAST
Two Women
Who Were Undaunted In Trying Moment
Nellie SIEBERT and Ida COULFIELD, employed as
chambermaids at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, showed themselves to be brave in spirit
to-day. Whether they would hop upon chairs at sight of a mouse may be a
question, but they certainly will not run from a burglar.
Finding a thief in the room of a man named
MORAN this morning, engaged during the occupant’s absence, in going through his
clothes, they straight way captured him and held him by the throat until their
cries for the police brought assistance.
Officer KOENING arrived on the scene and took
the thief in custody. He was recognized as Guff MEYER, who, the police say, is
wanted for other room burglaries in town.

Mrs. Bridget
Trainor Fined For Throwing Mud.
A Chinaman named Ah Sam was to-day fined $10 in

warned by Sanitary Inspector HERR to place a covering over his cart, but he
paid no attention to the order.
The case of Maynard CANNON, arrested for
petty larceny, for the theft of some pistols from the depot office of the
Wells-Fargo Company, was continued at the request of the prosecution until next

Mrs. Bridget TRAINOR was fined $25 with the
alternative of going to jail for twelve and one-half days, for disturbing the
peace of Mrs. C. CADY. Mrs. Trainor threw mud upon some linen which Mrs. Cady
had just washed and placed upon a line to dry. Mrs. Trainor has been in the
Court several times for similar acts. Justice ANDERSON expressed the opinion
that she is not in her right mine and that the authorities at the Superior
Court should investigate her case.
ALBERT GRUBBS TERRIBLY BURNED
Albert
GRUBBS, an old and well-known colored citizen of Sacramento, who resides on
Fourth Street between N and O, had a close call at an early hour this morning
from a frightful death.
Mr. Grubbs has been confined to his bed for a
long time by illness. This morning he either upset a lamp at the side of his
bed or it exploded, throwing the burning oil over him.
Grubbs was terribly burned. He screamed for
his wife, who came to his rescue from an adjoining room.
It is feared the burns which the old man
received will prove fatal.
A LITTLE GIRL ACCUSED OF BURGLARY
A few days ago, during the absence of the
family, the residence of A.W. LYLES, at 408 Fifteenth Street, was burglarized.
The place was turned topsy-turvy. A couple of watches, some jewelry and some
valuable papers, including a life insurance policy, were taken.
Lyles reported the matter to the police. It
was learned some time after the things were taken that a little girl named
Lizzie BYRON, who lives with her parents at 1408 D Street, had shown some
photographs which had been taken from the home of Lyles.
A search warrant was sworn out and an
investigation was made at the Byron home by the police detectives, who found
the remains of the watches and the jewelry in a stove, burned to such a
condition that they were of no value. The little girl admitted that she had
taken the things, and that she had burned them along with the papers.
To-day Lyles asked the City Attorney for a
warrant for the arrest of the girl, but he declined to issue it, upon the
ground that it would be useless to arrest one so young, as the girl is only 11
years of age. This afternoon Lyles went to the Court House to interview the
District Attorney.

BALL PLAYER’S ARM PARALYZED
(From the
Woodland Democrat)
Mrs. Will MORROW returned on Sunday evening
from Denver, where her husband finished the season with the club of that city
in the Western League.
The many friends of Mr. Morrow will be pained
to hear that his left arm is paralyzed. At present he is at Glenwood Spring, in
Colorado, and if the condition of his arm improves as he expects he will
probably return to Woodland about Christmas time. Mr. Morrow played in Salt
Lake until about the last of August, when he went to Denver. In September his
arm began to show the final symptoms of paralysis, though the physician said
that doubtless it had been developing for a long time previous. For a time he
lost complete control of it. Manager EVERETT kept him on the pay roll, however,
and he managed to play a few more games, though he was compelled to keep his
arm in a sling. The physician is confident that he will recover the use of the
member and Mrs.

YOUNG MONSCH IS RESTORED TO
CAPACITY
Showing Made
In Court To-day That He Had Reformed
Allen C. W. MONSCH, whose case had been before
the Superior Court a number of times with regard to his ability to take care of
his property, was this morning restored to capacity by Judge Peter J. SHIELDS.
Monsch led a wild life after he came into property left him and began to spend
money right and left. He got in with a tenderloin crowd in San Francisco and
was a “good thing” for certain of the denizens of that quarter. The Courts
interfered and he was placed under the guardianship of his mother, who died
October 29th last.
The only living relative of Monsch is a
brother, Wallace T. Monsch, who testified this morning that his brother had
broken off his profligate associations and that he regarded him as perfectly
able to take care of his property. It was also stated that the mother intended
before her death to petition for his restoration to capacity.

FIRED A
BULLET INTO HIS BRAIN
Suicide Of
Young Frank Stiegler Last Night
Was
Humiliated Over Having Lost His Situation in Railroad Shop on Account of
Indebtedness
Last evening, about 6 o’clock, Frank
Stiegler, a young man, who was employed for some time in the rolling mills at
the railroad shops, killed himself by firing a bullet through his brain. Death
was instantaneous. The tragedy occurred at the residence of his wife, near
Eighth and G Streets. Stiegler went to the house last evening and told his
wife, from whom he had been separated, he intended to end his life. He drew a
revolver and she tried to take it from him, but he broke away from her, ran
into the back yard, and soon afterwards the report of a pistol was heard.
Stiegler had lost his situation in the shops
because some creditor had made complaint that he had not paid a debt. The young
man, it is claimed, had paid to a collector the amount claimed to be due, but
the collector had failed to report upon the matter, and Stiegler lost his
situation. He showed his receipts to his foreman, and the latter promised to
straighten out matters, but the young man apparently felt humiliated and did
not want to go back to the shops. He visited several of his friends yesterday
had bade them goodby, saying to some he was going to kill himself, and telling
others he was going to Los Angeles. He also told his father he intended to kill
himself.
Deceased was a native of Missouri, aged 26
years.

A VIGOROUS CRUSADE AGAINST CORNER
SALOON
Citizens of
Neighborhood Demand That Trustees Close It at Once
One week ago an application was made to the
Board of Trustees by A. GILLIS for a license to conduct a saloon at Eighteenth
and I Streets - or, rather, a renewal of an existing license. The application
was endorsed by the Chief of Police, and the matter was laid over until last
night. Robert T. DEVLIN, attorney for the applicant, last night asked that the
matter be laid over one week.
There was a large delegation of citizens on
hand, headed by Professor E.C. ATKINSON, to protest against the granting of the
license. Professor Atkinson said they were not present to fight men, but to
protect homes; they were present for the sake of decency. He had himself been
compelled to play policeman, as the city does not give that neighborhood
sufficient protection; if a policeman came up that way the children would ask:
“What soldier is that?” He said the saloon at Eighteenth and I Streets is a
vile place, and the wives and children of the citizens had to listen to the
foulest language. There were nightly carousals in the place, he said. Toughs
came there from downtown, because they wanted to carouse in a place where they
knew the police would not molest them. Women had to call their children into
the houses and shut the doors to keep them from hearing the foul language.
Professor Atkinson said that in the last
campaign there had been cries for a “clean town.” Now is the time to begin to
make a clean town, he said. This remark was greeted with applause. The people
wanted to see that dirty doggery closed. The speaker said that no man could go
into that saloon and run a decent place and make a living.
For the Saloon
Captain Frank RUHSTALLER, who favored granting
the license, urged that Gillis be given a license - that he be given a trial.
He said if the saloon was not properly run, it could be closed. He wanted to
know why complaint had not been made before.
Professor Atkinson said a numerously signed
protest had been sent in, but it had been ignored. One of the signers to the
present protest, he said, had been pulled off, and was with the saloon element.
He had some off the protest through threats of boycott of his business. No
fight was being made against Gillis; the people did not want a saloon in that
neighborhood.
No Personal Charges
Trustee PAINE said action should be taken at
once, or the matter continued on week; there was no use “chewing the rag.” The
application had been endorsed by the Chief of Police, and no personal charges
had been made against Gillis.
Upon motion of TEBBETS, seconded by Paine,
the matter was laid over one week.
George WAIT was granted permission to build a
small cesspool in the alley, I and J, Fifth and Sixth Streets.
Police Sub-Station
The Board decided to adopt the recommendation
of Chief of Police Sullivan to establish a police patrol system in the new
engine house on Twenty-sixth Street. This, it is claimed, will afford better
protection to residents of the eastern part of the city.
Foul Gasses
Trustee BEARD called attention to the foul
gases coming from the Third Street sewer. Upon his motion, the Superintendent
of Streets was ordered to abate the nuisance. Superintendent STEVENS said he
was now at work trying to abate the nuisance. It evidently came from pintach
gas which escaped from tanks in the railroad shops.
Coal Contract Let
The Sacramento Coal Company, the lowest bidder,
was awarded the contract for furnishing 200 tons of coal at the sewer sump, at
$7.50 per ton.
Paine, of the Street Committee, was
authorized to purchase a new flag for the Plaza.
Another Saloon
Charles TRASTER was granted a license to
conduct a saloon at 1126 J Street.
John HUGHES was granted an extension of
thirty days’ time to complete the work of grading the Plaza, P and Q,
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth Streets.
Chinese Exclusion
A communication was received from the managers
of the Chinese Exclusion Convention, to be held in San Francisco on the 21st
instant, asking the Trustees to appoint five delegates to the Convention.
TEBBETS said the Convention was an important
one, and a delegation should be sent. It was decided to send a delegation of
five, including the President of the Board. The delegation will be as follows:
Tebbets, DEVINE, PAINE, DOLAN and ING.

FREEPORT BREAK STILL THE THEME
Laydon’s
Suit Against Touhey Still on Trial
Yesterday afternoon, after The Bee’s report of
the suit of Darby Laydon against James Touhey, an action to recover $1175.55
for work performed in closing the break in the levee near Freeport last Spring,
had closed. George BAUMGARTEL testified to having kept time for Laydon’s men,
many of whom worked overtime. He told of having furnished their meals, and said
he knew when they were going to work overtime.
E. MARTINEZ testified as to the number of
days the men worked, the driving of piles, and the brush work done.
The plaintiff rested shortly after the
opening of Court this morning, and Samuel BEEDE was called for the defense.
Beede testified that Reese, Laydon’s foreman, and three men working under him
“went on strike one day to dodge the poll-tax collector, who was dodging
around.”
The dredger did not work, except scooping up
sand, Beebe testified, and the piledriver did not work continuously until the
break was closed..
Charles REINEKE, who worked for Laydon,
testified that he was present at the time of the closing of the break. Touhey
was present, as was Laydon. Touhey superintended the work of putting the sacks
of earth into the crevasse.
SAYS HE HAD OVER 50 DUCKS
Game Warden R. HELMS this morning swore to a
complaint, in Justice ANDERSON’s Court, for the arrest of A. WALKE, a poultry
and produce dealer, for violating the game laws, in having in his possession
and for sale more than fifty wild ducks. This will be the first prosecution in
this city of any such alleged violations of the provisions of the game law.

DESPERATE DUEL WITH PISTOLS ON
THE
Van Curtis
Dodge Probably Fatally Hurt and Robert W. Woods Has Three Bullet Wounds
In a shooting affray that occurred on the
Yolo bridge a few minutes before 7 o’clock yesterday morning, Van Curtis DODGE,
a woodworker of this city, was shot through the stomach and will probably die,
and Robert W. WOODS, who lives in Washington and works in the railroad shop,
was wounded in three places.
One bullet entered the right side of Woods’
mouth, broke two teeth and came out in the middle of the cheek on the left
side, another bullet passed through the calf of the right leg, and the other
bullet entered the rear part of the left thigh, passed into the muscles and
remained there, making a deep wound.
The story of the shooting and the causes
leading up to it are best told in the statement made by Dodge to the police
authorities, in which he said: “I know that I have but a few hours to live and
I willingly state what took place. Bob Woods has been going with my daughter
for four years, and last year he took advantage of her and we a have a little
boy up to the house.
“He refused to marry my daughter after taking
advantage of her, and I sent him several messages regarding his marrying the
girl, but he would not, so I made up my mind to go over to his house and have a
quiet talk with him. I expected that there would be trouble, so I put two
pistols in my pockets before leaving the house.
“When I got up on the bridge, I saw Bob
coming over to work, and I stepped up to him and said: ‘Bob, I want to speak to
you.’ As I said this he immediately began pulling his pistol out of his pocket
and when I saw him do this I shot at him. His pistol seemed to stick in his
pocket and I shot at him again.
“He then got his pistol out of his pocket and
fired five shots at me, and I think it was the third one that hit me in the
right side and passed through my body. After he had fired his five shots he ran
into the bridge-tender’s house, and I pulled out my other pistol and fired two
shots at him and then followed him into the house and fired the other three
shots at him in there. Yes, I know that I will go in a few hours. I was 52
years of age last July.”
About an hour after the shooting Chief of
Police SULLIVAN, City Attorney HOWE, Bing BRIER, the official court reporter,
and a “Record-Union” reported visited Woods at the Railroad Hospital, and in
answer to questions by Chief Sullivan, Woods said: “I was coming across the
bridge this morning on my way to work in company with C.E. SCULLY and some
other fellows, and just as we reached the other end of the drawbridge I saw
Dodge.
“When he saw me, he jumped from the footpath
into the driveway where we were walking, and said, ‘Now you (using a vulgar
term) I’ve got you. He had a pistol in his hand and began shooting at me. The
first shot he fired struck me in the mouth. He fired at me twice before I got
my gun out of my pocket. When I did get it out I fired all five shots at him,
and then thinking that he might have another gun I ran into the bridge-tender’s
house and lay down behind the machinery.
“He came running in there and fired three
shots at me there, and that’s all I know of the matter. I am sure that he fired
two shots at me before I began shooting. That’s all that I have got to say
about the matter.”
There were several witnesses to the shooting
and one of them had a very narrow escape from being shot in the same way that
Dodge is wounded, as one of the bullets scored across his back, just breaking
the skin in places. It is said that his name is Walter PALM.
W.H. NEFF, the bridge-tender, was also in
very close quarters for a while as when the shooting began he took refuge
behind the machinery used in swinging the bridge. Shortly afterward Woods came
running into the house and jumped behind the machinery directly on top of him,
and was followed by Dodge, who fired three shots at Woods. Neff was not
injured.
After Dodge made his statement in the
Receiving Hospital, where he was taken after the shooting, he was removed to
the County Hospital, where Dr. WHITE operated on him. It was found that the
bowels were perforated in four places. Dodge stood the operation in good shape,
and was resting easily at a late hour last night, but the physician in charge
gives very little hopes of his recovery.
HIS HONOR OBJECTED
Justice
Anderson Said He Disliked the “Handling” of the Emma Jones Case
Emma JONES (colored) appeared in the City
Justice’s Court yesterday charged with vagrancy. She pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to the County Jail for six months, but the commitment was withheld
for twenty-four hours, in order to allow her to leave the city.
In commenting on the case, Judge ANDERSON
gave the City Attorney a distinct warning that he would never allow a case to
be “handled” in a like manner in his court at any future time.
“Here is a woman who is suspected of either
grand or petty larceny,” said Justice Anderson,” who has the charge changed to
vagrancy, and the City Attorney asks me to allow her to leave the city. I am
opposed to cases being handled in this manner, and I will not allow it in the
future.”
City Attorney HOWE - While I am morally
certain that this JONES woman did rob a man, still I am unable to get enough
evidence to convict, and as I did not think that she should be allowed to
remain at large in the city, I did the best that I could, and placed a charge
of vagrancy against her.
Justice ANDERSON - You should have allowed
her to serve her sentence out in the County Jail. However, I will let her go
this time, but please handle your cases of this nature in a different manner in
the future.

Funeral of
Thomas P. Sweeney Will Take Place To-Morrow Morning

WAS ROBBED BY FOOTPADS ON THE
AMERICAN RIVER TRESTLE
Charles
Fitzgerald Had Lucky Escape From a Slashing Knife Thrust, But He Lost His Money
Charles FITZGERALD, who is employed by John
MACKEY at the Rancho del Paso, was held up and robbed by two men on the long
trestle across the American River bridge about 10 o’clock Sunday afternoon and
considers that he was lucky to escape with his life.
Fitzgerald was riding his bicycle, and was
spinning over the trestle at a fast clip. When near the north end two men who
were hiding in the shadow thrust some kind of an obstruction across the track,
and Fitzgerald took a header.
According to his story, he had scarcely
landed before the taller of the two thugs seized him by the collar and yanked
him to his feet.
Fitzgerald did not like such treatment, and
making a pivot swing caught the big fellow in the face, knocking him down.
The smaller of the two men rushed at
Fitzgerald and struck him on the left breast with a big knife. Fortunately,
Fitzgerald had an envelope in which was a quantity of cards in his upper coat
pocket. The knife struck the cards, passed through them and cut through the
shirt before the force was spent. The thug, after making the thrust, drew his
knife downward, evidently intending to make a thorough job of his night’s work,
ripping Fitzgerald’s clothing nearly a foot.
Fitzgerald , who was unarmed, and who at
first though he had been badly wounded, submitted, and the tall robber having
regained his feet, the thugs went through his pockets, taking between $24 and
$25 in coin.
The highwaymen started in the direction of
Marysville, but the officials are inclined to believe that as soon as
Fitzgerald was out of sight they doubled on their trail and came to this city.
Fitzgerald furnished the Sheriff’s office with excellent descriptions of his
assailants.

WANT TRANSFER SET ASIDE
Heirs of
Thomas Galligan Settle Their Dispute in Court
The suit of A.J .GALLIGAN, administrator of
the estate of Thomas GALLIGAN, deceased, against Mrs. Lizzie MURPHY and others,
was commenced in Judge HUGHES court yesterday.
Thomas Galligan, according to the complaint,
a short time before his death, deeded to his daughter, Mrs. Murphy and her
husband, a lot in this city valued at $600 or $700, and transferred to them
$1,000 in bank and a quantity of household furniture, to the exclusion of his
other children, A.J. Galligan and Mrs .Charles M. SMITH.
The plaintiff claimed that Thomas Galligan,
at the time of transferring his property, was mentally unsound and incapable of
making proper disposition of his property, and they asked that the deed and
transfer of other property be set aside and the estate be distributed equally
among the heirs at law. Several witnesses called on behalf of the plaintiff
testified that in their opinion Galligan was of unsound mind at the time the
transfer was made.
Late in the afternoon the case for the
plaintiff was closed, and two or three witnesses were called for the defense.
In their opinion the old man had perfect use of his mental faculties at the
time the transfer was made.
Grove L. JOHNSON is attorney for the
plaintiff and Devlin & Devlin and H.C .ROSS for the defendants. The trial
of the case will be resumed this morning.

WITNESSES TELL OF THE DUEL
BETWEEN DODGE AND WOODS
Graphic
Description of the Battle on the Sacramento River Bridge Last Monday Morning.
Coroner McMULLEN last evening conducted an
inquiry into the cause of the death of Van Curtis DODGE, who died shortly after
midnight yesterday morning as a result of a revolver shot wound received early
last Monday morning on the Yolo bridge in an affray with Robert W. WOODS.
The jury impaneled to hear the testimony were
John N. FITZGERALD, M.A. HOWARD, Charles COOLEY, M.H. FETHERSON, C.R. McCAULEY,
T.W REED, D.W. ROE, M.J. SCANLON, A.J. BLODGETT.
District Attorney C.W. BAKER was present on
behalf of the people, and H.W. JOHNSON looked after Woods’ interests.
Charles E. SCULLY, aged about 20 years, was
the first witness. He testified that he left Washington for this city with
Woods and Frank TODHUNTER. “Woods,” he said, “was between me and Todhunter, I
on his right. When we reached the west end of the draw Dodge (I didn’t know who
he was then) stepped out through the little gate leading from the footway to
the roadway, and with a pistol pointed at Woods, said ‘I’ve got you now, you —
— .’ He immediately fired, and the ball struck Woods in the mouth. Woods
grabbed me by the arm and said: ‘T., I’m shot!’ Dodge grabbed my other arm, and
leaning over my shoulder fired again. I am not positive whether he fired two or
three shots before Woods got out his gun and commenced shooting.
“I started back toward Yolo, and Woods
started back with his arm over his face, shooting at Dodge. Then they both
stood up and snapped their guns at each other, and Dodge started to get another
gun, and I yelled at Bob, ‘Run; it’s all up with you,’ and he and I ran for the
bridge cabin on the middle of the draw. I got in first and shut the door, but
just then Bob came up and said: ‘T., let me in.’ I opened the door, and then
got down behind some machinery. Bob got behind the power wheel, and then Dodge
came up and burst open the door, and fired three shots at Woods. He fired twice
while we were running for the bridge cabin.
“Then Dodge put his pistol in his pocket and
walked out. I went to Bob and said: ‘Bob, you’re not dead yet, are you?’ He
replied: ‘No, I’m not dead yet.’”
Juror M.A. HOWARD questioned the witness
about the position of the draw with relation to the middle of the stream.
The witness replied that the draw was on the
Sacramento side, and not over the middle of the river; that the channel hugs
the Sacramento side of the stream, and that the draw is so placed that boats
could move up and down the channel. He thought the west end of the draw, where
the shooting began, was not far from the middle of the river. After the
shooting began the men ran eastward, that is, toward the Sacramento end of the
bridge.
Frank TODHUNTER, the next witness, had not
known Dodge. He was walking up the bridge with Woods and Scully, and when they
reached the draw he saw a man rush out with a pistol pointed at Woods.
“I dodged behind the man,” said the witness,
“ and heard three or four shots, and when I turned around I saw ‘em squared
off, pointing guns at each other.”
Owing to partial deafness the witness heard
nothing that might have been said. He ran to the incline at the Sacramento end
of the bridge and stopped there. He saw Woods run into the bridge cabin. Dodge
followed him and two or three shots were fired inside the place. Dodge came out
and walked to the Sacramento side and got into a buggy.
P.D. BARNS, night watchman at the ship yards
on the Yolo side, was in his buggy, crossing the bridge from Washington. He
drove alongside Scully, Woods and Todhunter for about a hundred feet; then his
horse out-walked them, and he was about the center of the draw when he heard
the shooting. When he looked back men were running in every way, and presently
Woods started toward the Sacramento side with Dodge following, shooting at him.
The witness corroborated the preceding witnesses with respect to the shooting
in and about the power-house, or bridge cabin. The witness had driven over
toward the Sacramento end of the bridge, when Dodge came out and walked down
that way. When he came to the witness he said: “For God’s sake, take me to the
Receiving Hospital; I’m shot” While on the way to the hospital Dodge told the
witness he did the shooting. When the hospital was reached Dodge jumped out of
the buggy and trotted inside.
W.H. NEFF, the bridgetender, said he was in
the power-house reading the “Record-Union,” when he heard some shots. He
thought it was some of the boys shooting up the river, and did not look around
until four or five shots had been fired.
“I saw two men shooting at each other,” said
the witness, “and I shut the door and got down on the floor behind some
machinery, so as not to be struck by a spray bullet. I got up from there and
got into a snug corner behind the big gear wheel. Just then somebody rushed in
and jumped on top of me, and a moment later Dodge followed and commenced to
shoot through the wheel. One shot struck an iron bar - it would have gone
through my body otherwise; the other struck a spoke, which kept it from passing
through my head.
“Then Dodge came up and pointed his gun down,
and I thought the ball would go through both of us, and I shut my eyes. He
fired, and I was blood all over. I thought I had been shot, and rolled Woods
off of me and got out on a run.
Harley NOYES was next called. He was about
ten feet ahead of Woods and his party. “I heard Dodge say, “you — — —,” and
then he began shooting. I stood still. Dodge fired two shots before Woods got
his gun out. Woods was moving towards the end of the bridge with one arm over
his face, and shooting under that arm in Dodge’s direction.”
The witness corroborated the other witnesses
with respect to the shooting in the power-house, and when Dodge came out and
got into a buggy the witness followed on a bicycle to see where he would go.
Walter PALM said he was twenty or thirty feet
ahead of Woods, when the shooting commenced. He did not know who shot first,
but when he looked around the men were shooting at each other.
“Woods finally started to run for the bridge
cabin and Dodge followed. I started to run and Dodge fired two shots, the first
of which hit me here on the hip.”
George SCULLY said he was behind Woods and
heard shooting, but the sun was in his eyes and he could not see distinctly at
first. When he did see clearly both men were shooting. Woods lunged forward as
if about to fall, but fired again and then ran toward the bridge cabin. After
Dodge left the cabin the witness went in and asked Woods if he was hurt. He
replied: “I’m shot all to pieces; he hit me a h–l of a crack in the mouth.”
“Did you hit him?” inquired the witness. “No,” replied Woods, “I never touched
him; he didn’t give me a chance. Is the old man gone?”
J. HOLLMAN, driver of a butcher wagon, was
about twenty feet from the men when the shooting commenced. His version of the
affair corroborated the statements made by the other witnesses.
City Physician NICHOLS who attended Dodge
after the shooting, described the nature of the wounds.
“Dodge,” said Dr. Nichols, “told me he shot
first, but not until ‘Bob’ attempted to draw his pistol. He said he told Woods
that he wanted to have a talk with him, but that Woods went for his pistol and
then he fired.”
Dr. J.L. WHITE, who held the autopsy on the
deceased, testified respecting the nature of the wound.
At this point Coroner McMULLEN produced the
two short bulldog pistols used by Dodge, and Juror HOWARD examined them.
“Where’s Woods’ gun?” inquired Mr. Howard.
Coroner McMullen did not hear, and the juror
repeated his question, whereupon the Coroner produced the weapon used by Woods,
a blue-barreled imitation Smith & Wesson.
Juror Howard reached over, took the weapon,
and said:
“It’s a good one. He ought to have had another
one. He ought to have had an electric
gun, if there was to be any trouble,” and Mr. Howard laughed.
Then District Attorney BAKER arose and said:
“I don’t think Mr. Howard should argue this
case before the jury. This inquest is not a matter for levity. I think his
remarks are entirely uncalled for, and I desire to protest against any such
conduct.”
“That cuts no figure at all,” replied Juror
Howard. “We have a right to express our opinion, and you have got nothing to
say about it at all.”
Coroner McMullen rapped on his table and
asked Juror Howard to keep quiet, and the proceedings again dropped to the dead
level of actualities.
Walter Curtis Dodge, son of the deceased,
testified concerning his father’s age and nativity, and the matter was given to
the jury. That body, after deliberating a half-hour, brought in the following
verdict:
“We, the jury, find the deceased came to his
death from a gunshot wound inflicted by Robert Woods.”
In discussing the subject of the examination
of Robert Woods yesterday morning, Justice ANDERSON said: “While there is no
chance of any legal complications in the matter, as the examination can be
legally held in either county I would prefer not to hear the matter at all, and
will try to have the Yolo county authorities hold the examination, if any is
held. I believe it is their duty to take the evidence in the case, as I am
given to understand that most of the shooting was done on the Yolo side of the
drawbridge.
SUICIDE EARLY THIS MORNING
Daniel McCarthy Blows Out His
Brains
No Known
Cause for the Act - Deceased Was a Drummer for Adams, Booth & Co.
Daniel McCARTHY, a traveling man in the
employ of ADAMS, BOOTH & Co. for many years, and well known throughout the
northern half of the State, committed suicide shortly before 3 o’clock this
morning in the rear of the Commercial saloon, 722 K street, by shooting himself
with a pistol.
Messrs. GRANT & WARREN, proprietors of
the place, state that McCarthy had been in the saloon several times during the
night, and at the time he committed the act had been there about an hour. They
had never seen him in better spirits, apparently, and there was nothing in his
appearance or manner to indicate that he was not in a perfectly normal
condition.
Nobody saw him when he fired the fatal shot,
and death was instantaneous.
Coroner McMULLEN was notified at once and his
deputies promptly took charge of the body.
It was found that the deceased had shot
himself in the head, the bullet passing completely through his brain.
Mr. McCarthy was about 27 or 28 years of age,
and, so far as could be ascertained, was a single man. A brother of his is a
resident of Latrobe, El Dorado County.
He also leaves a sister in this city, a Mrs.
HANFORD, the widow of Engineer Hanford of the Placerville Railroad, who died a
few years since.

HIS HONOR AND THE LADY
Justice
Anderson Had a Mind to Send Mrs. Becker to Jail
Mrs. Hattie BECKER was found guilty of
disturbing the peace in the City Justice’s Court yesterday morning, and
judgement was withheld until Monday morning. Judge Anderson said he knew her to
be a hard-working woman, but who when drunk would “raise Cain,” but she had no
excuse for fighting with an officer after being arrested, and he had a good
mind to send her to the County Jail for three months without any chance of
paying a fine.

HE IS THE WRONG KIND OF A
CRIMINAL
Fred Price,
Captured by Detective Max Fisher, Proves to be a Deserter, Not a Burglar
Detective FISHER returned from Redding
yesterday with a prisoner named Fred PRICE, who he arrested in that place on
suspicion of being one of the burglars who robbed the gun store of W.H.
ECKHARDT, in this city, last week. The man proved to be the wrong party.
However, he is a deserter from the United States army, having deserted from an
army post located at Stevens, Or., on the 12th inst.
Detective Fisher was very much incensed over
the publicity which had been given to the fact that he had sacrificed his
mustache and otherwise disguised himself, in order to effect the capture,
claiming that this notoriety would enable the real criminal to escape.
In relating the incidents leading up the
arrest, he said: “On the morning that Eckhardt’s store was robbed a young man
of this city saw two men walking along the street carrying a grip. He gave a
description of these men to Patrolman MALEY, and we were all directed by Chief
SULLIVAN to keep a lookout for them.
“Last Friday one of these men, named James
MOORE, was seen going toward the Yolo bridge in company with two hobos, and,
accompanied by Detective FITZGERALD and Patrolman FOUSE, we overtook Moore and
placed him under arrest. He proved to be one of the burglars, and will plead
guilty. Then I went after the other man, followed him all over the country, and
arrested Price, only to find that while he filled the description in every way,
he was the wrong man.
“As for this man being one of the men who
committed the DUFFY murder, that is absurd, as he will in no way fit the
description of either of the men who did that deed, and I had no thought of
connecting him with the murder when I made the arrest.”
Mr. Fisher will permit his mustache to renew
its growth, so that the criminals who saw him in Redding will not be able to
recognize him when they come to Sacramento.
KANE ESTATE IN COURT
Nice
Question of Community Property Rights Before Judge Hughes
The suit of S.B. SMITH, as administrator of
the estate of Thomas KANE, deceased, against John F. QUINN, administrator of
the estate of Kate KANE, deceased, came on for hearing before Judge HUGHES
yesterday.
Thomas Kane and Kate Kane were husband and
wife, and at the time of their marriage, it was claimed, she had a sum of money
amounting to about $5,000. It was further claimed that until 1880 each of the
parties kept a separate bank account, but in that year the money was drawn out,
and that in 1890 two several deposits were made; one of $5,000 in their joint
names and one of $5,000 in the name of Kate Kane. In 1890 $5,100 in the
Sacramento Bank, owned jointly by the parties, was a few days prior to the
death of Thomas Kane, drawn out and (rest of article cut off)
MORE MEMBERS OBTAINED
Roster of
the Chamber of Commerce is Growing Steadily
The campaign of the Chamber of Commerce to
raise the membership to 1,000 is progressing with encouraging results. Chairman
Herman C. FISHER’s committee, even before it has fairly organized for work, is
able to report an increase of fifty-four members. Twenty-five of these were
added the first day of the committee’s work, and the names were reported in the
“Record-Union.” Since then twenty-nine names have been added.
The committee has entered upon a campaign to
convince every property owner, business man and professional man in the city
and vicinity that he has a personal interest in the work of the Chamber of
Commerce, and that it is entitled to his active support, at least to the extent
of the membership dues of a dollar a month.

is stated by the police that Gilbride ran a bill with Peter FLAHERTY of the
Windsor Hotel, and left the city to evade payment of the account.
PASSING OF A PIONEER
Captain W.A.
Hancock, Formerly of Sacramento, Dies in
Captain W.A. HANCOCK, a pioneer and one of
the best known men in Arizona, died suddenly in Phoenix, Ariz., yesterday. He
was 71 years old, and a native of Massachusetts. He settled in Sacramento in
the 50's. He went to Arizona with the Tenth Regiment of California Volunteers
in 1865. Later he was made Captain of a company of Pima Indian soldiers in
their war against the Apaches.
Captain Hancock was an attorney and civil
engineer by profession. He laid out the townsite and built the first house in
Phoenix, and also acted as the first Postmaster, and later as the first Sheriff
of Maricopa County. He was always prominent in local politics and all
enterprises looking to the development of the town’s natural resources.
Hancock surveyed the first irrigation canal
in Arizona, and was foremost in irrigation enterprises. He leaves a sister,
Miss Carrie Hancock of Sacramento, and a widow and two children in Phoenix.
LOVES HIS FORMER SPOUSE
Alex Becker
Accused of Following His Divorced Wife
Alex BECKER, the ex-husband of Hattie Becker,
went to the Brown House, at Fourth and K streets, Sunday night, and it is
thought he was looking for the woman’s apartments. He was prowling around the
hallway of the house with his hand in his hip pocket, when Joseph BOSTRICK, now
known as Mrs. BECKER’s companion, went into the hall and saw Becker. Bostrick
thought that Becker had a pistol, so Bostrick drew his own revolver, threatened
to shoot Becker if he attempted to draw his gun, and ordered him from the
house. Although Becker has been divorced from his wife, the police say he is still
infatuated with her.
YOUNG BOY LOST AND FOUND
Frankie FLANIGAN, a 4-year-old boy, whose
parents reside at 2307 I street, strayed form his home yesterday, and the
police were searching for him during the evening. At a late hour last night a
telephone message to the Police Station announced that the truant had been
found and restored to his parents.

TOOK THE PRETTY BABY
J.P.
Hutchinson pleads guilty, and Will be Sentenced To-Day
J.P. HUTCHINSON, alias J. PITTINGER, was
convicted in the Police Court yesterday of violation of the law which provides
punishment for cruelty to children. Hutchinson’s offense was unique. As related
in the “Record-Union,” Mrs. KIEFER visited the Midway at the Street Fair
Wednesday, taking her pretty fifteen-months-old infant in a baby carriage. She
decided to have a ride on a merry-go-razzle-dazzle concern on the edge of the
Midway, and left her little one asleep in its carriage at the rostrum of the
spieler.
The spieler was so busy telling about the
joys of riding on his merry-go-razzle-dazzle that he did not notice when Hutchinson
took possession of the carriage and began to push his way through the crowd.
When Mrs. Kiefer learned that somebody had taken her baby she was frantic, but
was helpless, as there were 12,000 people in the Midway, and nobody knew where
the man had gone. Hutchinson wheeled the baby to the publication office of the
“Record-Union,” and placing the carriage containing the sleeping child near the
counter, engaged a bystander in a political discussion, which ended in
Hutchinson’s sudden departure, leaving the baby with no one to care for it.

FELIX TRACY, PIONEER EXPRESS AGENT, PASSES AWAY
Felix Tracy passed away at his home in this
city to-day after a period of failing health of many months duration. Mr. Tracy
was one of Sacramento’s most highly respected citizens.
Deceased was one of the oldest express agents in California, his service dating back to the 50s, when he was Wells, Fargo & Co.’s representative in Shasta. He was placed in several important positions by Wells, Fargo & Co, and finally sent to Sacramento, when this was the most important office in the State, it being the distributing point for all the best mining counties.
In those days, Wells, Fargo & Co. carried
all the gold dust from the mines and returned the gold coin from the Mint to
the miner. In this way they caught a percentage going and coming, and the
Company grew to be a wealthy corporation. It always, however, took good care of
its faithful servants. Several years ago, Felix Tracy was tendered retirement
on a handsome pension, and could have done so had he listened to the
importunities of his employers. However he had quite a snug fortune of his own,
and he remained “in the harness” until his physical condition compelled his
retirement.
He was strictly temperate in his habits, and
an active advocate of temperance in others. More than one young man was
reclaimed through his influence. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and
a faithful attendant to its services. He was born in New York State
seventy-three years ago. The funeral will take place from the Fourteenth-Street
Presbyterian Church Saturday next at

SILLER’S VERSION OF
ENCOUNTER
Justice Anderson Says He Did
Not Refuse to Give a Warrant of Arrest
An item published in The Bee of last evening
saying two boys had called at the Police Station to secure a warrant for the
arrest of L.G. SILLER for battery. They claimed that because of the fact that
Siller had several pieces of lumber projecting from the end of his wagon they
collided with each other while they were on their bicycles, the wheels being
broken. It was claimed by the boys that one of them took Siller’s horse by the
bridle to hold it while he was being asked it he would not pay for the damages
done. It was alleged that Siller jumped from his wagon and kicked one of the
boys.
Mr. Siller called at The Bee office to-day
and denied he struck the boy. He says he simply pushed one of the boys aside
and caused him to loose his hold upon the bridle. Siller said he had no lumber
protruding from his wagon; all he had in his wagon was a “straight-edge.”

HAPPENED THAT INQUIRY CAME
CONCERNING HERSELF - SHE ANSWERED IT
Late yesterday afternoon,
after most of the employes had left the upper floors of The Bee office, a woman
carrying under her arms a number of papers hastily ascended the stairs and
walked into the room occupied as the telephone exchange. She sat down without
an invitation and proceeded to become real sociable. She had worked on the
Record-Union and wanted to get employment on The Bee, but was afraid she
couldn't get the job. She rattled on in this fashion, at a lively rate, and it
seemed to be the least of her troubles that the hour was growing late and that
the necessity would soon arrive for her to move on.
Presently a call came in
over the telephone, and the operator picked up the trumpet.
"Has a crazy woman
visited The Bee office this afternoon?" came the hurried inquiry, and the
person making it said he was the officer in charge at the Police Station.
Before the operator could
reply, the strange woman seized the ear trumpet and receiver and said, with
considerable impatience:
"I guess I will answer
that phone," and she suited the action to the word.
"Yes," she said,
in the most angelic voice possible, "I am here, at The Bee office. You can
come here and get me when you want. I will wait for you."
She then put up the phone,
and without apologizing for her action, continued with her rattle of
conversation. The officers came for her. And as they took her away her screams
resounded through the building. The unfortunate woman was placed in the custody
of the Sheriff pending an examination as to her sanity.

Washington-across-the-river, is the only man who saw the act. Mr. Lynch says
that he was coming over to Sacramento, and was walking in the wagonway. When
about twenty feet from the west end of the draw he saw a man standing in the
footpath on the north side of the bridge. He climbed up on the railing, looked
down at the rushing waters beneath, crouched still lower, and jumped. There was
a splash, but no other sound as he did not utter a cry.
Mr. Lynch then hurried to
the Yolo side of the river for assistance, running fifty yards up stream. He
and a man named John BAILEY then got into a boat and then up the stream., but
they could find no trace of the man who had leaped from the bridge.
The body has not yet been
found.

A DISTURBANCE OF PEACE CASE
Miss Carrie DENTON this
morning swore to a complaint charging James VAUGHN with disturbing the peace.
According to the complainant
who is a sister-in-law of Vaughn, the trouble started yesterday over money
matters.
Vaughn has a habit of
sleeping with his money under his pillow. Yesterday when he arose he forgot it.
He came home for it, and claimed $1.70 was missing, and according to the
complaint he charged his wife and Miss Denton with having stolen it.
They denied it, and becoming
enraged it is claimed that he drove them from the house with a butcher knife.
The two women slept at the
City Prison last night, being afraid to go home.
TROUBLE BEGINS BETWEEN
COOKS' AND WAITERS' UNION AND HOTEL PROPRIETORS
Pickets Are Patrolling the
Western Hotel and Declaring It "Unfair House."
A few weeks ago there were
indications of a strike on the part of the cooks and waiters of the city
employed in the hotels and restaurants. After several conferences between the
parties, however, it was announced that all troubles had been adjudicated and
that there would not be any strike.
But it seems there was only
a momentary lull. Matters were to-day brought to an issue and the indications
are that there will be a bitter battle between the hotel and restaurant men and
their employes.
Pickets are to-day
patrolling K Street in front of the Western Hotel, declaring that place to be
"an unfair house." There are four men in the party of pickets and
each one carries a large framed card of the Cooks and Waiters Union. As the men
walk back and forth in front of the hotel they keep up a constant cry to the
pedestrians asking them not to patronize a house that is "unfair, and one
which employs Chinese cooks to the exclusion of white cooks." Every man
who approaches the hotel office is shouted at and asked not to go into the
place. The pickets walk in the gutter, just at the edge of the sidewalk.
Conrad ZEISS, the business
agent of the Cooks' and Waiters' Union, this morning called upon William LAND,
proprietor of the Western Hotel, and asked him to discharge his Chinese cooks
and take in their place men who would be supplied by the Union. Land refused to
accede to the demand, and then Zeiss put the pickets to work. And so the war
was commenced.
The Cooks' and Waiters'
Union has an agreement which asks all hotel and restaurant proprietors to sign.
(Next line not legible) the following:
"It is agreed that no
Japanese or Chinese will be employed in Union houses, provided the Union can
guarantee competent and reliable white help."
William Land, of the Western
Hotel, said to a Bee reporter this afternoon that it was because he had refused
to sign that agreement that a boycott had been placed against his hotel.
"I do not propose to be
coerced in this manner," said Mr. Land. "Those men can keep walking
up and down in front of the hotel as long as they want to. As a matter of fact,
I think they are bringing trade to the house. They are just about the same as
having a lot of drummers at the depot.
"All of the waiters in
my employ are, to the best of my knowledge, members of the Union, and we
encourage them to join. I pay all of the men wages higher than those demanded
by the Union schedule. It is true that there are Chinese cooks in the kitchen,
and I intend to keep them there, for the reason that I cannot depend upon white
cooks. They get drunk and fail to show up, and then what am I to do to feed my
boarders?"
"There have been times
when I have been compelled to send my steward and some of my waiters into the
kitchen to do the cooking when white cooks who had been employed failed to put
in appearance upon the score that they were sick. When a Chinese cook gets sick
he always supplies me with a man to take his place. The Union offers to keep me
supplied with substitutes, but I must wait until a Committee can investigate
and in the meantime my guests are starving to death.
"The hotel and
restaurant men of the city, with the exception of a few small restaurants, have
agreed to stand together and fight the matter to the end. We have concluded that
we might as well close up business if we cannot run our hotels in a manner
which suits us. If I cannot run my business as I think best to my own interests
I might as well close up and keep what money I possess. It makes no difference
whether those men are walking in from of my hotel or any other hotel or
restaurant - we are all together in this matter and intend to stick
together."
Conrad ZEISS, business agent
of the Cooks' and Waiters' Union, said to-day that the pickets were placed in
front of the Western Hotel because it is the biggest employer of Chinese cooks
in the city. There was a report that the pickets had been placed in front of
other hotels, but that was not true.
Harry C. BELL, President of
the Cook's and Waiters' Union, when seen this afternoon by a Bee reporter, said
the trouble between the Union and the hotel and restaurant men had been renewed
because the latter has declined to sign the agreement - a modified agreement,
he said - which had been presented to them on the matter of supplying help.
"The matter has now
come to an issue," said Bell. "For a time it was up to them to act.
They did not act right and now it is up to us and we have acted. That is all
there is to the matter. We tried to settle this trouble amicably by arbitration."

A GOOD CHANCE FOR
FOOL-KILLER
Three Young Men Jeapardise
People's Lives.
Tore Down Electric Wires In
Rear of the Novelty Grand Theater to
Darken Place of Exit -
Amused themselves by Throwing Bullets Through Lamp
Globe.
Three young men of the Smart
Aleck type jeopardized the lives of hundreds of people last
night, "just for
fun," and they should be punished. The incident makes a brilliant
opportunity
for the fool-killer. The
young men are employed as drummers by a local wholesale house.
They went upon the rear
porch of the Del Paso Saloon on K Street, Sixth and Seventh,
and amused themselves by
breaking a number of electric light globes, throwing small
pistol cartridges through
them. This sort of sport did not seem thrilling enough for them,
and they proceeded to pull
down the electric wires fastened to the outer wall of the Novelty
Grand Theater, which adjoins
the saloon.
At the place where this
outage was committed are two large rear exits from the theater,
opening upon the ground.
When the open air is reached, a broad stairway must be climbed
to reach a platform leading
to the alley. In order to insure safety the managers of the theater
have put up a large number
of electric lamps, so there would be plenty of light in the event
that people should be
compelled to make a hasty exit form the theater.
The idiots who pulled down
the wires doubtless thought that by doing so they would darken
the theater, and thus have
more fun, but fortunately those particular wires had nothin to do
with the lighting of the
house. The theater was crowded with people and to have plunged the
place in darkness would
undoubtedly have caused a panic, and there might have been
many people injured, or
killed, in the rush to get outside.
THOSE "CLUBROOMS"
AND THE POLICE
Closed Because They Could
Not Profitably Be Run.
The fact that the club rooms
at 806 1/2 K Street, upstairs, had been closed and the
owners discontinued the
business, has led to the publication of the story that the police
were somehow responsible
therefore. As a matter of fact, however, the police have nothing
to do with the abandonment
of the club rooms.
In an interview in the
morning paper Chief COFFEY is credited with the statement that
he detailed two of his
officers to watch the premises referred to, and to arrest the parties
whenever they could get
evidence which would secure a conviction in Court. One of the
officers found a fare
lay-out in the apartments, but it apperas that it was not in use. Chief Coffey
in the same interview said the parties who had opened the club rooms had closed
them before
the officers could procure
evidence.
The place referred to has
gained considerable publicity since O.A. LOVDAL lost $5000 in
a poker game therein, and
various unpleasant stories have been bruited about town in
connection with that game.
If the parties closed up it was not out of fear of the police -
the way nearly all forms of
gambling are permitted by the same police to run in this city
ought to prove this - but because
the parties did not find it profitable to continue the
rooms.
However that may be the fact
is that gambling is running all over town in Sacramento
to-day without awakening the
slightest show of interest in the Police Department. The fact
is, also, that the most
shameless violation of the anit-poolroom ordinance signed by
Mayor HASSETT January 18th
is carried on every day at the cigar store managed by
Joe BLOOMBERG on Second
Street, between J and K, at which store Chief Coffey
himself is a constant
frequenter.
CONTRACT LET FOR CLOSING
BREAK
Work Will Be Prosecuted Day
and Night
The contract for closing the
Edwards break was signed shortly before noon to-day, and if
the provisions of the contract
are complied with the work will be completed on or before
noon two weeks from
to-morrow.
Anticipating that they would
secure the contract, CLARK & HANRY purchased a large
number of piles in San
Francisco, and making them into a raft started them for the break
in tow of a steamer. Two
pile drivers are to be used, working each end of the break.
WILL PROTECT CEMETERY LOTS
Masons and Odd Fellows Will
Raise Ground
A joint meeting was held
yesterday at the Masonic temple of the Trustees of the Odd Fellows
and Masonic Cemeteries, at
which it was determined to raise the grade of both cemeteries to
a sufficient height to
preclude the possibility of any further flooding of the land owned by
these Associations in case
of breaks in the river levees.
These cemeteries lie
immediately south of and adoining the City Cemetery, and a large part
of each consists of
naturally high ground, above the reach of flood waters.
A portion, however, lying
next the Riverside road, is somewhat low, and was covered by the
back water from the Edwards
break. Steps will be taken at once by
both Associations to
remedy this fault and to
protect the cemeteries and lot owners from any further danger from
this source.
At the same time, an effort will
be made to induce the City Trustees to fill in sufficiently on
the east side of the City
Cemetery, a strip running along Riverside road to protect the lower
parts of that cemetery from
further danger.
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE CALLED
George W. PELTIER has called
a meeting for next Thursday night in the rooms f the Chamber
of Commerce. All property
owners south of this city as far down he river as Sutterville, and
east to the highlands, the
City Trustees, Supervisors and interested citizens have been invited
to attend.
The object of the meeting is
to consider the permanent reclamation of all land between this
city and Sutterville from
the river to the highlands.

Supervisor from the Second District, is admitted to have on hand the hardest
fight of his long political career. It is in his behalf that the Democracy is
putting forth its mightiest efforts, though the nominees for State Senator,
Congressman and Assemblyman are vitally interested, since the defeat of the
doughty Major means an unqualified Republican victory in this, his particular
stronghold.
GREEN IS ACTIVE.
The ****ues of the two
concentration camps, heretofore opposed to matters political, are working hand
in hand for BELL, COHN, HARRIS and McLAUGHLIN, but especially for McLAUGHLIN.
George GREEN, who is connected with one of the camps, and who was last week
indicted by the Grand Jury for assault to murder, is devoting the greater part
of his time and attention to the success of Major McLAUGHLIN's campaign, and
has made himself so obnoxious to the decent element among Republican workers
that an effort is on foot to close both camps, and thus rid the city of Green
and his following.
LODGING-HOUSES SUSPECTED.
Half a dozen lodging-houses
in the lower end of the city are under suspicion, and boasts have been made
that there would be five votes cast for every room in each of these houses.
Since the refusal of the Chief of Police to investigate the register, the
statements have been made more and more boldly until they have finally reached
the members of the Law and Order League.
When asked if the league had
been considering the advisability of looking into the matter Chauncey H .DUNN,
its President, said:
LEAGUE WILL INVESTIGATE.
"It is true that we
have received reports indicating that there is on foot an effort to violate the
election laws, but we have had as yet no proof of such violation. The matter
has been given attention, however, and an investigation is now in progress. The
league does not intend to make this a political matter, nor are its efforts
directed against any particular neighborhood. We propose, if possible, to
enforce the laws governing elections."
REGISTER NOT AVAILABLE.
The Republican organization,
as developed yesterday, will have no opportunity to take early action, as
access to the new affidavits of registration cannot be had for some time.
Chairman THORPE, on behalf of the committee, commissioned EA. BROWN to secure
some information, but Mr. BROWN was informed by County Clerk W.B. HAMILTON that
he would not be permitted to interfere with the work of the office at this
time. To a Union reporter, who visited the office on a similar errand, County
Clerk Hamilton said:
CLERK IS TOO BUSY.

The Sacramento
Landlord and Tenant - Charles PRINCE, a colored
man who is employed as a janitor in the State Capitol building, appeared in the
City Justice’s Court yesterday charged with disturbing the peace on the
complaint of a Mrs. Estelle CARTER. The evidence in the case showed that Mrs.
Carter had been tenant of Prince’s house and was so undesirable that he
attempted to evict her, with the result that she fell over a rocking chair.
After hearing the evidence in the case on both sides, which was very
contradictory in its nature, Judge MARCH discharged the defendant.
Too Free of Speech - Thomas SMITH, a deckhand
on the steamer Fruto, appeared in the city Justice’s Court yesterday charged
with disturbing the peace for calling the mate of the vessel vile names. After
being convicted and sentenced to serve ten days in the County Jail, addressing
Judge March, he said: “Ill get even with you for this, you ----- -----, and on
the other fellow also.” This insult to the Court was too gross to be endured
and Judge March promptly increased his sentence to six months in the county’s
bastile.
A Mysterious Explosion - Last Sunday the
neighborhood in the vicinity of Fifteenth and J streets was startled by a
terrific explosion that shook dwellings for a distance of several blocks, and
although every effort was made to ascertain the cause, it seems to be shrouded
in mystery. Some of the more suspicious residents of that locality are inclined
to believe that some member of the Mafia or possibly an anarchist was testing a
new kind of bomb and that it exploded accidentally.
Not a Friend in Need - Frank COMER appeared
in the City Justice’s Court yesterday charged with embezzlement, was convicted
and sent to the County Jail for six months. The evidence in the case showed
that a boy named John GULICK left Chico with $30.50 in his possession and at
Wheatland met with Comer, who related a hard-luck story that touched the young
boy’s heart. Gulick took his newly made friend into a hotel, paid for his meal
and then for his fare to this city. After their arrival here, Comer persuaded
his young companion to give him his money to keep for him. He then left him and
spent all of the money with the exception of 30 cents.
A Carpenter’s Fall - John DIERRSEN, a
carpenter who is employed on a new building in couse (sic) of construction at
the corner of Fifth and N streets, yesterday afternoon slipped and fell from
the roof of the building upon another house a distance of some fifteen feet and
was badly bruised, although it is thought that no bones were broken. The patrol
wagon was sent for but the injured man had been removed to his home at 408 N
street before its arrival.
Death of Dr. Shields - Dr. F.M. SHIELDS,
dentist, died at his residence in this city yesterday at the age of 79. He came
to California in the 50's and to Sacramento in the early 60's and resided here
ever since. He retired from practice several years ago. He leaves a wife, and a
son by a former marriage. He was at one time active in public affairs. He was
esteemed a law-abiding and good citizen.
Political High Jinks - The Roosevelt Colored
Republican Club will have a high jinks at Pioneer Hall to-morrow evening, when

candidates and all others to attend. William M. TIPTON will preside and refreshments
will be served.
The Bicycle Theft - Henry LAULER, who stole
Mr. BLAKE’s bicycle from in front of the rooms of the Y.M.C.A., and sold it for
the sum of $3, had his preliminary examination in the City Justice’s Court
yesterday, and after hearing the evidence in the case, Judge MARCH took the
matter under advisement.
Charged With Vagrancy - Frank BROWN, Frank
RICHARDS, William LEDGER, John WILSON and Ed WILSON, who belong to the ranks of
the unemployed, and who have failed to leave the city, were arrested last
evening by Patrolman RYAN and charged with vagrancy.
He May Leave - James ARCHER, who was arrested
on a charge of vagrancy and who the police claim is of the undesirable class
which lives from the earnings of women of the half-world, appeared in the City
Justice’s Court yesterday and was given a chance to leave the city.
Violated Garbage Ordinance - Sam FRANKS was
arrested yesterday by Sanitary Inspector HERR and charged with violating the
provisions of City Ordinance No. 543, which regulates the hauling of garbage on
the streets in the city.
Annie E. Smith’s Estate - Public
Administrator SMITH has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate
of the late Annie E. SMITH . The estate consists of the east sixty feet of lot
6, G and H, Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, in this city, and is valued at
$3000.

and the matter was taken under advisement. Fields testified that he left
Banning in charge of his shop and when he returned found that Banning and four
razors were missing. Banning claimed that he had not been in the shop at the
time alleged and had no reason to steal any razors.

SMITH, the two young boys who have repeatedly been in trouble through their
alleged propensity for appropriating horses, appeared in the City Justice’s

Frank NOLEN, the boy who was in their company, was discharged from custody.
Got the Wrong Man - When the case of Samuel
FRANKS, charged with carrying garbage through the streets in violation of the
city ordinance was called in the City Justice’s Court yesterday the defendant
was discharged, as Dr. FAY appeared in his behalf and stated that Franks had

violated the ordinance.
Short Horse; Soon Curried - J.A. WILSON, who
was arrested with some old currycombs in his possession on suspicion that he
had stolen them, appeared in the City Justice’s Court and was ordered to leave
the city. No charge was placed against the man, as the officers, have been
unable to ascertain who owns the property.

The hearing of the case of J.H. Newell and M.
Levey was held in the City Justice’s Court yesterday and resulted in the
discharge of Levey and the conviction of Newell, who was fined $50. These are
the two men who created a disturbance on a railroad train during which a pistol
was discharged. Levey swore that he did not hear any pistol discharged, did not
own the weapon found on the floor of the car and had not fired the shot. In
sentencing Newell, Judge March gave him an artistic “roast,” stating that
Newell evidently thought he was bigger than the railroad company or the law,
and was attempting to run matters according to his own sweet will.

AGED MAN ENDS LIFE
No Cause Assigned For Lobbes’ Rash Act
Recent Arrival
From Wisconsin In Absence of Friends With Whom He Had Made His Home, Commits
Suicide By Hanging - Had Money and Considerable Property Interests
Richard LOBBES, a native of Germany, aged 69
years, committed suicide some time last Saturday afternoon at the home of a
family named SPEICH, with whom he resided at 1716 G Street.
No cause has yet been assigned for the old
man’s rash act, as he was in comfortable circumstances and in good health.
Lobbes came from Racine, Wisconsin, with the
Speich family last August, having made his home with them for more than thirty
years.
Soon after arriving here, Lobbes bought the
property at 1716 G Street and deeded it to his friend Speich.
Saturday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Speich left
the house shortly after the midday meal to visit a physician. They later
visited their nephew, returning to the house about 5 o’clock. They had left
Lobbes lying on a sofa, taking his usual nap, but when they returned he was
gone. His coat was in the room, and they at once made a search for him.
They were told by a neighbor that Lobbes had
been seen going into the basement in his shirt sleeves, and Mr. and Mrs. Speich
hurriedly went there. They found Lobbes hanging suspended from one of the
braces to the floor above, and life was extinct. He had committed suicide by
strangling himself with a heavy cord which he fastened to the floor brace and
making a noose at the other end.
Coroner GORMLEY was notified and took charge
of the remains. Lobbes had $200 in cash on his person when found, and a pass
book on a local bank showed he had $2900 on deposit there. In addition to this,
Lobbes is known to have considerable property in Racine.
In one of the pockets of the suicide’s
clothing was found a letter from a sister in Germany, in which advice was given
for the treatment of an injured leg from which he had once suffered, but which
was said to have caused him no distress of late.
The suicide’s relatives in Germany have been
communicated with, but thus far they have not been heard from.
TEMPERANCE LEAGUE MEETS
The Loyal Temperance Legion gave an
entertainment at Florin Church last evening before a large audience. Quite a
liberal offering was given for the benefit of the work.
The children received much praise for their
interesting program. “We’ll Help the Cause Along” was sung by the choir. Mrs.
DAVIS led in prayer. “Columbia’s Call” was an exercise by all the members of
the L.T.L. Miss Nellie TOOTELL, in costume, and holding a large American flag,
represented “Columbia.” Several messengers responded to her questions giving
the state of affairs in the camp of King Alcohol.
The Army call was sounded on the cornet by
Miss Margie LAMBERT and the Legion, singing and bearing flags and banners,
marched to the platform, where songs, recitations and concert responses were
given.
This was followed by a recitation by Miss
Priscilla VANE. “Smiles,” recitation by Ruby FINCH; “Nellie’s Victory,”
recitation by Julia TOLBERT; “God Is Love,” duet, Mrs. COX and daughter; “A
Talk on L.T.L. Work,” Miss FINCH; remarks by Mr. FRENCH; a closing request,
Rec. Edith FRENCH; Coronation, sung by audience.
INVESTIGATING AN OAK PARK
BURGLARY
Orin CLOUGH, a young man of oak Park, has been
locked in the county jail upon suspicion of knowing some of the facts connected
with the robbery of the candy booth in the Park a couple of weeks ago. His
mother declares young Clough was at home at the time the robbery is said to
have been committed and was not concerned in it in any way.
Robert BERRY and “Pal” DEFORE were also
questioned about the robbery by District Attorney SEYMOUR and Constable J.G.
SNOOK, but were released. A young man called “Slim” is said to know something
about the affair, but he can not be found.
Young Clough has not yet been charged, being
held for further examination into the case.
WILLIAM MUIR TO FILL
Only A Few Details Still
Unsettled
Engineer
States the Historic Old Eyesore Will Be Seen No More in Three Months After He
Has Started the Work - Tella of His Plan
Another Step has been taken in the project to
fill China Slough. William MUIR, a well-known mining engineer and contractor,
is here to-day with a letter from the Engineering Department of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, addressed to Superintendent T.R. JONES, in which it
is stated that the contract has been given to him to fill the slough. At the
request of the Chief Engineer some surveyors connected with the local railroad
force were out to-day running levels for the benefit of Mr. Muir.
“As you will see by the letter,” said Mr.
Muir, “the contract has practically been given to me, but the papers have not
been signed yet, for the reason that there are some little details which have
not been completed.
“The details I refer to are to the effect that
before the contract is signed I want to make arrangements with three property
owners and have it understood that when the work of filling the slough is going
on I will not be held responsible for damages from sipage water which may flow
into basements and drive out tenants. The property in question is owned by
Louis CAFFERO, the GREGORY estate and the TATE estate. The managers of the two
latter, especially of the Tate estate, say there sill be no trouble.”
Louis Caffero said this afternoon that he was
willing to stand a certain amount of damage, but it must not be too heavy.
Under the Muir plans he would force mud and
sand through the pipes from the Sacramento River into China Slough. The
contract calls for about 600,000 cubic yards of earth, and would include the
filling of the alfalfa field near the passenger depot as well as the slough.
There would have to be a seven-foot fill in the field.
“If it were not for the trouble about those
three pieces of property,” said Mr. Muir, “I would begin work immediately. When
that trouble is settled, if it can be in a satisfactory manner, I will give a
bond of $25,000 and go to work at once, and the slough will be filled within
three months after work is commenced. The material for filling the mud and same
will be handled by two powerful pumps, one on the river bank and the other in
the alfalfa field.”
PLACED BABY ON DOORSTEP
Tiny Waif Of
Humanity Left At 107 I Street
Was
Abandoned Early This Morning - No Note Found Attached to Clothing as Is Usually
the Case - Officers Hope to Solve Mystery
A tiny waif of humanity was left on the
doorstep of 707 I Street shortly after 1 o’clock this morning, and the little
one is now being cared for by Mrs. Frederick KENNEDY, who in the few brief
hours in which she has had charge of it has learned to love it so that in its
misfortune she is anxious to adopt it and give it a mother’s care.
The waif is a male child apparently about two
weeks old.
Officer Harry BUTLER of the police force and
County Detective Philip O’NEIL are working on the case, and expect to establish
something definite as to the little one’s parentage.
Some of the lodgers in the house at 707 I
Street claim to have heard stealthy footsteps on the steps and porch to the
house at the hour named, and a few minutes later the lusty wail of an infant
heard. Investigation made a few minutes after revealed a tiny baby boy packed
in a wicker basket, on the porch. The unfortunate had been placed there
evidently in the hope of attracting the attention of the inmates of the house,
and the lusty lungs of the little fellow brought about the desired result.
There was no note to, or request of, those
who might find the little fellow to care for him, such as ordinarily accompany
abandoned ones.
The babe was dressed in very neat, but plain
and cheap clothes, upon which there was nothing to serve as a possible mark of
identification.
When a Bee reporter called at 707 I Street
to-day to make inquiry about the unfortunate, he was given no information
beyond the fact that an abandoned child had been left there early this morning.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children was at once notified, and Special Officer Daniel HEALY joined with
Butler and O’Neil in the investigation of the case.
ART SCHEME A BUNCO GAME
Thus
Declares His Honor, The City Judge
A Man Who
Complained of Being Robbed, Being Too Drunk to Know What He Lost, Nothing the
Loser Is - Minor Cases
In summing up the testimony in the case of
Frank LEONARD, who was tried this morning on a charge of attempting to commit
grand larceny, Justice MARCH held that the testimony was too weak to warrant
Leonard’s being held for trial. The testimony of the defense was that Leonard
had merely attempted to awaken the man, WEYTHMAN, and in so doing the latter’s
hand came out of his pocket and brought the money with it, the money falling on
the floor.
At the time Leonard went over to Weythman he
made the remark that he would wake Weythman up and have a drink.
Officers KOENING, SCANLON and DESMOND
arrested Barney McCAFFREY, Pat ROONAN, Charles WILSON and Mike WALLS on
suspicion of having robbed John LYNCH of about $29, but all were discharged as
Lynch was too drunk at the time to know he was being robbed, and stated in
Court that he was willing to give the men anything he had.
Larry TEDDY, who pleased guilty to a charge
of petty larceny for stealing some goods from a tailoring establishment where
he was employed, was leniently dealt with, as it was his first offense. He was
fined $30 with the alternative of spending thirty days in jail.
The case of Joseph PAYNE, charged with
insulting Officer SCANLON, was continued until Wednesday afternoon.
Ah SAM was discharged from custody as no
evidence to convict him on a charge of vagrancy was at hand.
Mrs. F.E. SPURGEON swore to a complaint
charging J.M. SPENCER with disturbing the peace. Spencer is an employe of an
art Company and refused to giver her a frame for $1 which another member of the
firm had said she could get a frame for.
Spencer was ordered to turn the frame and
picture over to Mrs. Spurgeon for $1, and was ordered to be discharged when he
did so. Justice MARCH characterized the art scheme as a bunco game.
NEIGHBORS TO THE RESCUE
Bedding in the home of L.W. PETERSON, at 1923
Eighteenth Street, in some mysterious manner caught on fire shortly after 11
o’clock this morning.
The people were away from home at the time.
Neighbors telephoned to Station No. 3, on
Nineteenth Street. The fire company responded promptly, broke in a door and threw
the burning bed into the street. The damage was about $50.

STORY
Local
Merchant Destroyed Winning Lottery Ticket
Morgan MORGAN, a well-known local merchant,
took this afternoon’s local train for San Francisco to make a claim to the
agency of a large lottery concern for the modest sum of $15,000, to which he
believes he is justly entitled.
There are certain circumstances, however,
which may militate against the fruition of Mr. Morgan’s hopes.
It appears that Mr. Morgan bought a ticket in
this month’s drawing. He left the ticket at home and carried the number in his
memorandum book. One evening at home he looked over what he supposed was the
proper drawing, and finding that his ticket was not in the list threw it into
the waste basket. It was burned next morning in the furnace. Down town a little
later, Morgan found the correct drawing and discovered that his number as
written in his memorandum book had won $15,000. He goes to San Francisco to
convince the lottery people that he is entitled to payment on his destroyed
ticket. Morgan will be supported in his contention by the party who sold him
the ticket.

PUNISHMENT LIGHT FOR GIBNEY
His Attorney Pleads To The
Court for Leniency
Justice March Imposes a $10
Fine, but Warns Gibney This Case Is Not to Be Taken as a Criterion, and He Will
Not Get Off Easily Again.
Charles GIBNEY, one of the proprietors of
the Art Dance Hall, who was convicted last Thursday of selling liquor without
permission from the Board of Trustees, was fined $10 by City Justice John C.
MARCH in the Justice’s Court this morning. Gibney was found guilty of the
charge by a jury composed of twelve representative citizens.
Charles T. JONES, the attorney for Gibney,
asked for a new trial this morning, but the Court denied the motion. Jones
asked that the fine imposed be made as light as possible. He said he had
advised Gibney not to sell any more liquor until the matter was finally settled
by a higher Court, and he felt sure the defendant would comply. The case he
said would be carried directly to the Superior Court, and there is no
inclination on the part of the defendant to violate the law. He said the case
was merely to test the law, and the defendant was acting under the advice of
his attorneys.
City Attorney S. Luke HOWE did not ask that a
heavy fine be imposed.
When Justice March placed the fine at $10 he
warned Gibney that this case was not to be taken as a criterion, and that if he
sold liquor again, he would not get off so easily. He fixed Gibney’s bail at
$10 cash or $50 bond.
The case will be carried to the Superior
Court immediately.

at an early hour yesterday morning while he was asleep in his room in the Davis
building, on K Street between Fourth and Fifth. A young man named Joseph
LAWRENCE, who was formerly employed by Dr. Jaffe, has been arrested on
suspicion of having committed the offense.
Dr. Jaffe was awakened about 3 o’clock in the
morning by a noise in his room. He struck a match, and as soon as he did so the
intruder grabbed him by the throat and attempted to choke him. He called for
help, and the burglar ran from the room. Night Clerk W.G. MITCHELL responded to
Dr. Jaffe’s calls, and was told the fellow was in the bath-room. When Mitchell
opened the door, the man ran out, and succeeded in making an escape.
The man was in his coat sleeves and had a
slouch hat on. He had rented a room in the Davis building a few hours prior to
the attempted burglary. His coat was found in the room by James G. DAVIS,
proprietor of the lodging house.
Substitute Officer George RADONICH, who was
detailed on the case, took the coast as a clue and shortly afterward arrested
Lawrence, whom he found asleep at his home in the southern part of the city.
Lawrence admitted that the coat belonged to him, but said he could prove it had
been stolen from him. He claimed he want to bed at 10 o’clock that night. Those
who saw the burglar have looked at Lawrence, and declare he “looks like” the
man wanted, although he has not been identified. Lawrence has been released on
bail.
The would-be burglar gave the name of FOSTER
when he rented the room at the Davis building. He did not succeed in securing
anything of value. The door to Dr. Jaffe’s room had been left unlocked.
About a year ago Dr. Jaffe was the victim of
a bold assault. Two men entered his place to make a purchase. While he was
waiting upon them, one of them struck him down with a cruel blow on the head
with a slungshot. His cries frightened his assailants away before they
succeeded in robbing him. He suffered several weeks from the injuries he
received.
BURGLAR CAPTURED WHILE IN A HOUSE
Charles GIBSON, a native of the Sandwich Islands,
who has been employed as gardener at the residence of Lew. A. NORTON, 1403 I
Street, has been arrested by Officers KRIPP and RYAN, and a charge of burglary
will be placed against him. While Norton and his family were absent from the
house last Saturday, Gibson crawled in the back window. He was seen pulling
down all the shades by neighbors, who notified the police. Officer Ryan entered
the house, and found Gibson in the dining-room. The house had been completely
ransacked, although the only thing missing was a small silver watch, afterward
found in Gibson’s effects. It is evident that Gibson expected to find money,
for a number of articles of value were not touched.
CRIMINAL CASES IN SUPERIOR COURT
In Superior Judge E.C. HART’s Court to-day,
the cases of Francisco QUIJADA, Charles CARSON and J.W. FINLEY, the Folsom
convicts charged with assault with deadly weapons, were continued until next
Saturday.
S. KOJIMA, a Japanese charged with assault
calculated to do great bodily harm, made a motion, through counsel, to set
aside the information against him. The motion was overruled, and the defendant
then interposed a demurrer on the ground that the information did not clearly
set for the nature of the offense.
The demurrer was argued and taken under advisement.
Isaac ANTONE, charged with burglary, with a
prior conviction of petty larceny, entered a plea of not guilty, after a motion
to set aside the information had been denied.
The cases of Frank CLARK and Thomas KEARNEY,
charged with burglary, were continued until to-morrow.
PIONEER WOMAN CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. Sarah COOPER, who died in this city last
Friday, was one of the oldest pioneer women in this city, having settled here
in October, 1848.
With her father and mother, she left Maryland
in 1847. The family wintered in Missouri and reached here in 1848. The father
purchased a farm from General Sutter at Twenty-ninth and B Streets. Upon this
property some member of the family has resided continually ever since.
Her husband, who has been dead for some
twenty years, was also a pioneer, coming in 1849.
She leaves a brother, Amos P. STEWART, of
Truckee, and two sisters, Mrs. G.O. HIGGINS of Oregon and Mrs. L. CHURCHMAN of
Fruitvale. She was 74 years of age.
POLICE RECOVER MUCH STOLEN HARNESS
The police have recovered a dozen sets of
harness, a saddle and bridle and a lawn mower, that were stolen by Charles
CLARK and Frank DEL MAR, who were arrested Saturday afternoon by Officers
PENNISH and RYAN, as told in The Bee. Both of these men are crooks, and the
officers have enough evidence against them to send them to the penitentiary for
long terms. They have confessed to the crimes, and have said they will plead
guilty when the case comes up in the Superior Court.
They have both served terms in the County
Jail. Clark was released about a month ago, after serving eighteen months for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
COOPER CONCLUDES TO PLEAD GUILTY
John COOPER, the man who recently cut off the
nose of his wife with a caseknife in a fit of drunken, jealous rage, in their
rooms in the Mansion House, on Seventh Street, has made up his mind that it
would be best for him to enter a plea of guilty. He has been fighting for delay
in his case ever since he was arrested and had his preliminary examination. It
is now understood that he will go into Court next Monday and enter a plea of
guilty to a charge of mayhem.
A SUICIDE IN
OAKLAND, May 8 - Former City
Councilman B.C.. CUVEILIER, living in this city, and Vice-President of a San
Francisco liquor house, committed suicide to-day by shooting himself through
the mouth with a pistol, on top of the eleven-story Union Savings Bank
building, the highest point in Oakland. Death was instantaneous. Illness is
assigned as the cause.
Murdered a Girl and Shot Himself
SAN JOSE, May 8 - As the
result of a shooting tragedy enacted late Saturday night at the New Almaden
mines, twelve miles form here, Minnie CHAVES, a young Mexican girl, is dead,
and J. SENESCEROS , the young miner who murdered her, is in danger of dying
from a self-inflicted wound. It is said that Senesceros, in a fit of jealousy
shot the woman and then turned the revolver on himself. This is the theory
which influenced the Coroner’s Jury in it’s verdict, which directly fastens the
crime on him. Senesceros is in the County Jail and is not expected to live.
Prompt action of deputies saved him from lynching.

not make a satisfactory explanation of the shooting, and was taken to jail by
Officer PENNISH, who investigated the case. The weapon used could not be found
by the arresting officer.

TAX COMMISSION IN SESSION
Will Revise
Laws on Revenue and Taxation
The State Tax Commission, consisting of
Senators CURTIN and WARD, Assemblymen McCARTNEY and TREADWELL, with Governor
PARDEE and Prof. Carl. C. PLEHN as ex-officio members, held a meeting in the
Governor’s office this morning and discussed the best methods to be pursued in
making a total revision of the revenue and tax laws of the State.
It is the intention of the Commission to
completely revise the present laws on these subjects, and to provide a new set
of laws which it is hoped can be so drafted as not to conflict with the
Constitution of the State. In case this is found to be an impossibility, it is
the intention of the Commission to prepare a Constitutional Amendment that will
include the proposed revision.
SAYS SITUATION IS NOT SERIOUS
Dr. Nichols
Not Alarmed At Presence of Diphtheria
Although two deaths have occurred from
diphtheria, which is now prevalent in the eastern part of the city, City Physician
Dr. H.L. NICHOLS does not consider the situation as serious. There are thirteen
cases now under quarantine, and of these several are nearly well. No new cases
have been reported since Saturday.
Dr. Nichols says due precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and every case reported is put
under strict quarantine and kept quarantined the required time. He attributes
the prevalence of the disease to the climatic conditions, and thinks it will
entirely disappear after the first hard rain. All of the cases now under
quarantine, he says, are of a mild form.
BISHOP MORELAND’S ANNUAL ADDRESS
Asks For
Church Music With Heart In It
In his annual address, the Right Rev. William
Hall MORELAND, D.D., Episcopal Bishop of the Sacramento Diocese, delivers an
admonition on the subject of “Church Music,” in which he says:
“There are some things about the music of the
Church I should like to see remembered. It is rendered for the glory and
worship of God, not for the gratification of a congregation or the advertising
of a solo performer. I have seen women enter the pulpit, lay their music sheets
upon the open Bible, and, facing the congregation, sing with ecstatic self
admiration a sentimental song of which the listeners could not understand one word.
The Church’s law says, Hymns set forth and allowed by the authority of this
Church and anthems in the words of Holy Scripture or of the Book of Common
Prayer may be sung in this Church. This law is violated all over our district
because the clergy fail to supervise beforehand the tunes and words as the
Church requires of them.”

READY TO DIE IN THE RIVER
A Despondent
Sheepherder Prepared to Suicide
Paul PETERSON had a touch of high life in
Sacramento during the past forty-eight hours. Paul is a German, a sheepherder,
and he drifted into the Capital City to have a “good time,” according to his
way of getting pleasure, and he had it.
Peterson had $175 of his earnings when he
reached here. He also brought along two cows and a calf. He “blew in” the money
in saloons, and when he found himself a financial wreck he sold his livestock
for $20. After the double eagle was gone, Peterson was ruined indeed.
This he realized and concluded life had no
more charms for him. He tried to get poison to commit suicide, but the drug was
refused him. Then he decided to plunge into the Sacramento River and confided
his intentions to an acquaintance, who notified the police.
Peterson left two notes, willing his small
belongings to friends, a rifle to a Sacramento saloonman and property in
Germany to a sister.
But the police locked him up, and this
afternoon his old employer took him back to the hills and the sheep.

“While Mr. Brusie’s identification with surety companies has not extended over
a great period, he is nevertheless well known by virtue of the wonderful
success he has made in the management of a company whose business increased
from nothing to nearly a hundred thousand dollars last year.”
BORNE TO THE GRAVE
Funeral of James Ryan - The funeral services
over the remains of James RYAN, a pioneer resident of this city, were held at
the Cathedral yesterday, where a requiem mass was celebrated for the repose of
his soul by Rev. John F. QUINN, assisted by members of the Cathedral choir.
Father Quinn in his eulogy referred to the earthly struggles of the hardy
pioneers who braved the dangers of the new El Dorado, and the great
difficulties they encountered in establishing Christianity and civilization in
this western land, and spoke in glowing terms of the religious fervor and
constancy in the life gone out. Friends sent many beautiful floral pieces to
cover the casket and grave in the St. Joseph Cemetery, where interment was
made. The pallbearers were Jas. H. DEVINE, W.J. HARME, P. FLAHERTY, M.F. KENT
and Thos. GORMLEY.
Funeral of John W. Buckley - The funeral of
John W. BUCKLEY took place from the residence of his sister, Mrs. John FREESE,
yesterday afternoon, and proceeded to the Cathedral, where funeral services
were held by Father Ryan. A large number of friends joined in the cortege to St.
Joseph Cemetery, where interment was made. Many beautiful floral pieces adorned
the newly-made grave. The pall-bearers were Frank CROWLEY, Owen STACKHOUSE,
Jas. McGRATH, Walter HILBERT, Fred FRISEKE and John DOHERTY.

Richard BENNETT, who died last Monday, took place this morning from the

large gathering. The pallbearers were Justice E.H. HOPPE, William BUTLER, John
McNAMARA and William JACQUES. The interment was made in the City Cemetery.
TWO NEW CASES REPORTED TO-DAY
The diphtheria situation does not seem to
improve, according to members of the Board of Health, in spite of the
precautionary measures taken by City Physician Dr. H.L. NICHOLS in placing
under quarantine every house in which a case breaks out, and despite the latter
official’s optimistic statements. Two new cases were reported to-day. The cases
are located at 1921 M Street and 1521 M Street. Another death occurred
yesterday making a total of three since the disease has been prevalent in the
city.
Most of the cases reported are in the eastern
part of the city, although Tuesday a case was reported from 1614 Fourth Street.
In speaking of the disease to a Bee reporter
to-day, Dr. J.H PARKINSON of the Board of Health, said the situation is quite
serious, and is a hard one to handle. He said the closing of the city schools
might be an aid in stamping out the disease, as it would keep the children from
commingling with each other, and thus spreading the disease. He added, however,
that if the schools were closed parents would not keep their children in, and
the youngsters would still play in the streets with the children in the
neighborhood. In the latter case the danger of contracting the disease would be
less than at school, where 300 or 400 children are thrown together.
Dr. Nichols said to-day that there were not
more than eight cases in existence in the city to-day, as the patients in many
of the houses under quarantine have recovered.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST MARINES
Accused Of
Debauching Young Girls
Some of the
Latter Sent to a Rescue Home by Officer of Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Children - Daniel Healy to Suppress Orgies
Daniel HEALY, Special Officer for the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, makes the sensational assertion that
the United States Marine Corps recruiting station on K Street, near Fifth, has
been used as a place of assignation for young girls whose ages range from 13 to
15 years.
According to a statement made by Healy to a
Bee reporter to-day, the girls have been in the habit of going to the rooms of
the recruiting station nearly every evening after the close of office hours,
meeting some of the enlisted men and some citizens. He says the girls would be
given liquor at the rooms and that the orgies would some times be carried on
until a late hour.
Healy
said he had not made any arrests for the reason that such matters are very hard
to prove in Court. He said, however, that he had sent some of the girls to the
Beulah Rescue Home, which is under the direction of the Salvation Army. Healy
said he did not want to tell the names of the girls, who belong to respectable
families. The officer said he intended to have a talk with the Captain of the
recruiting station and take the necessary steps to stop further orgies.

BOY FORGES PLUMBER’S NAME
Cashes Bogus
Check at Local Bank
Seventeen-Year-Old
George Falltrick Makes Out Check for $30 on His Employer and Forges Endorsement
- Placed Under Arrest But No Complaint Against Him
George FALLTRICK, a 17-year-old boy, who has
been employed as a helper for some months by C.B. CONN, a local plumber, has
been arrested by City Detectives NAGHEL and DOUGLAS, and a charge of forgery
may be placed against him. Falltrick admits his guilt, and now says he is sorry
that he ever attempted such a thing.
The youth forged a check upon his employer
for $30, and cashed it at D.O. MILLS & Company’s Bank. The check was made
payable to C.B. CONN, was endorsed on the back by a forged signature of C.B.
Conn, and then endorsed again in favor of J.KING. Falltrick represented himself
as King when he presented the check at the bank window for payment. The
signature of Conn looked genuine, and the Cashier of the bank did not hesitate
in advancing the money to the youth.
When the forgery was discovered, it was
reported to Detectives Naghel and Douglas and after a brief investigation of
the case they placed Falltrick under arrest. The young man immediately broke
down, and admitted that he had forged the signature.
Up to a late hour this afternoon, C.B. Conn,
upon whom the check was drawn, had not yet swore to a complaint against
Falltrick.
LABORER’S BODY BRUISED BY FALL
A young man named Frank DUGAN, who is employed
as a carpenter’s helper on the Elks new building now in the course of
construction, on J Street between Eighth and Ninth, fell from the second to the
first floor of the building this morning, and was severely injured. Dugan was
taken to the Receiving Hospital, where his injuries were dressed by City
Physician NICHOLS. His left side from the shoulder down was badly bruised, but
no bones were broken. It is not believed that Dugan was internally injured, as
he was able to walk away from the Receiving Hospital after his injuries were
dressed.

DID JURORS TAKE THEIR TODDY?
Grove L
.Johnson Hints Of Sensational Motion
Grove L. JOHNSON, leading counsel for the
defense in the trial of former Senator E.J. EMMONS, recently convicted of
bribery, said to-day he would move for a new trial on the separate and distinct
ground that during the trial some of the jurors had indulged in alcoholic
stimulants to the point of intoxication, even though they were in custody of a
Deputy Sheriff at all times.
It is said that since the discharge of the
jury the cleaning up process about the rooms occupied, disclosed the presence
of at least two dozen bottles labeled as the essence of corn and rye.
“If I can get the evidence under oath or
affidavit that has been offered me voluntarily,” said Mr. Johnson, “I shall
make a motion for a new trial on this separate and distinct ground. I have been
reliably informed that some of the jurors indulged to the point of excess while
in the jury-room, and that when they were on several outings provided for them
several of them became intoxicated.
“You will understand that these statements
are hard to prove, but if I can prove them by the people who have made these
statements to me, it is apparent Senator Emmons, in common justice, must have a
new trial. We all like fair play.”
“I am not aware that any member of the jury
drank intoxicants in the jury-room while the trial was in progress, save some
who, it was represented, were accustomed to having a drink at certain periods
of the day. In allowing these jurors to have their accustomed stimulant I was
governed by and acted upon the certificates of the physicians of those jurors.
During the trial I never heard of an incident which would suggest that the
privilege granted was being abused.”
WIDOW SUES RAILROAD COMPANY
Her Husband
Was Killed By A Train
Mrs. Deliah WHITE has brought suit in the
Superior Court against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to recover damages
in the sum of $10,000 for the death of her husband, D.C. WHITE.
It is set forth in the complaint that White
was run down by a train of cars of the Company on the morning of December 1,
1903, at Front and K Streets, and so badly injured that he died on the
following day. Deceased was employed by the Company as a switchman. The
complaint says the morning of the accident was damp and foggy; that no lights
were displayed on the train; that no warning bell was sounded, and that no
brakeman was present to prevent an accident such as befell White. It is alleged
that White’s death was caused through the carelessness of the agents of the
Railroad Company.
At the time of the accident White was earning
$60 a month, which, it is said, was used for the support of himself and his
wife.
GIRL TAKEN TO BEULAH HOME
Young Girls
Come From Respectable Families
Daniel HEALY, Special Officer to the Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Children, this morning took to the Beulah Rescue
Home in Oakland the 15-year-old girl who admitted that she had been in the
habit of going to the United States Marine recruiting station, located near
Fifth and J Streets, and consorting with the men there.
According to the statements of the girl to a
Bee reporter, there were four girls in the crowd that visited the recruiting
station. The girls first became acquainted with the Marines a few weeks ago.
They walked by the office and the men stopped them and asked them to visit the
quarters at night, offering them soda water. The girls did so, and, according
to the statements of one of them, were debauched by the Marines. The orgies
were kept up for several nights, and on some occasions beer was furnished to
the girls.
Two of the girls are under 16 years old, the
age of consent as fixed by law. All of them come from respectable families that
live in Oak Park. They were allowed a great deal of freedom by their parents,
and when they visited the recruiting station they told their parents they were
going down town to look for work. Officer Daniel Healy hopes to be able to save
all the girls from wayward lives, and has already placed two of them in the
Beulah Home.
As Officer Healy was not in the city to-day,
it is not known whether or not he intended to bring charges of criminal assault
against the accused Marines.
Sergeant L.A. SAWYER, who has charge of the
recruiting station, has said he will conduct an investigation into the charges.

SOCIAL
EVENTS OF LOCAL INTEREST
The Winter’s
pleasure is to be as much in the way of dancing as formerly. The first large
affair comes off next week - Wednesday night - when La Salome Club gives its
initial party. There is no form of social amusement that quite compares with
the dance for congeniality and good fellowship. It is the oldest and has always
been the most popular mode of enjoyment wherever a crowd, large or small, is
congregated for pleasure. Many a small informal affair winds up with a dance
whenever possible, and if a hostess provides a dance for her guests she may
rest assured they have had a good time.
Following closely upon La Salome Club’s first
party comes the private dancing party given by five of our prominent young
women, the opening dance of the L’Allegro Club on November 8th, and
another club dance before the Tuesday Club House Association ball on November
24th. From then on until the holidays there are to be several
dancing parties, so, fair maids, be busy about your evening gowns.
The big annual ball of the Tuesday Club House
Association is rapidly finding its accustomed amount of favor and patronage
among our people. The date being set for earlier this year brings it before the
