The former was yesterday sent to the County Jail for five days. Lydecker was released upon in- clination. He is a machinist, and has been out of employment for al months. The interior of the boxcar had been ar- ranged for sleeping purposes, and judging from the supply of green onions on board they were his staple food. A Large Realty Deal. Mrs. Heuer, daughter of the late F. Arff, a pioneer settler of Alameda County, has sold her Mount Eden ranch of 260 acres, together with a large tract of salt marsh, to Justus Gading.

Is IS IN FAVOR OF BITUMEN. Work on the Lake Merritt Boulevard Should Be Commenced At Once. M. K. Miller, the newly appointed Oak- land Street Superintendent, is already actively engaged in outlining his plans for work. He will enter upon the discharge of his duties on Tuesday next. In regard to bituminous pavement, he says: “I am very strongly in favor of bitumin- ous rock for street pavement. Itisto be commended from every ‘point of view. It is noiseless, easy on horses, easily cleaned, and therefore, for sanitary reason, espe- cially to be desired. It has all theadvan- tages and none of the disadvantages of other kinds of pavements. The cost, of course, is greater than macadam, but when its merits are considered, the cost will compare in reasonableness with that of macadam. Itshould be laid over a foun- dation of concrete where traffic is exten- sive. Itislike throwing money away to lay it over worn-out macadam, as on Tele- graph avenue.” Mr. Miller thinks that Telegraph avenue needs immediate attention. The many chuckholes need refilling, and in some | places the surface needs to be re-covered. | Eighth and Twelfth streets need to have | considerable work done on them, but it all depends, he says, on the funds appro- | priated by the City Council. The boule- | vard around Lake "Merritt has been at- tracting considerable attention of late. The new Street Superintendent is in favor of going right along with the work as fast as possible. ingit: “The boulevard around Lake Mer: | property should be built as soon as | ble. It could be made a_feature of | part of the State. this Many cities in the East e bouleyvards and several of them in The drive from | Monterey along the sea coast, through Pa- I citic Grove and back again, a distance of | this State have them. seventeen miles, is one of the finest drives | in the State.

How an English Gamekeeper Trained American Dogs on { California Game. Instead of a boxing night, as previously intended, the Olympic Club will give a tling tournament in August, and that | | ;‘ ill be the next event to follow “Ladies’ instructor of the club, states that he has | several first-class wrestlers in charge, who will more than give good accounts of them- selyes against the champion catch-as-catch- canners of the Acme, Rellance and San Francisco clubs. From the fact that the Olympic Club will give very handsome prizes for this coming meeting between ong and active young men, the entries re consequently expected to be much larger than formerly. There is considerable talk among the boxers of the club concerning a suggestion to hold the next special match night at some theater. The idea of holding an open meeting, which is, however, to be managed by the Olympic Club, meets with the approval of the members who take a special interest in this game, and if a permit is granted by Mayor Sutro for a series of amateur spar- nn?v matches, to be held in some public { hall, a great evening's fistic sport will as- suredly be wilnessefi. The reason, as assigned by some promi- | nent members of the Olympic Club, for | favoring the holding of an amateur boxing- | match night outside the walls of their | club, is that by the introduction of such a scheme the representatives of the Acme, Reliance, San Francisco and other amateur | athletic clubs of the Pacific Amateur Ath- | letic Association will be afforded an oppor- tunity of seeing a good evening’s sport without the necessity of having to join the Olympic Club. It will be understood that whenever the Olympic Club gives an in- door entertainment, and especially one that includes boxing, only members of the club can witness the sport. There are members, however, who contend that only members of the club should be permitted to see the Olympic boys contesting, but in { this particular they fail to take into con- sideration that many of the boxers who have been pitted against Olympic boys wear the colors of the Acme and Reliance nl:lnbs, both of which are located in Oak- and. Of course, the Acme and Reliance clunb- men would like ver{' much to see their boys acquit themselves against the well- trained Olympic lads, but, being residents | of Oakland, they cannot see where they can be benefited by joining the Olympic Club, except for the pleasure occasionally offered to witness an evening's boxing or | wrestling bouts. To accommodate members of outside clubs who reside on the east side of the bay an open fistic entertainment has been suggested, where the members of those clubs which compose the Pacific Athletic Association of the Amateur Athletic Union can be present and witness the sport for a small entrance fee. The name of Len Owens, who, by the way, is a very pular member of the Olympic Club and a man of pronounced business tact, is mentioned among those gentlemen who have been spoken of favor- ably for the office of president. The great Burlingame Club of 8an Mateo County will endeavor to emulate the Country Club of Marin County on Satur- day next, by the holding of alive-bird tournament on the grounds where the polo experts of the club handsomely defeated the military players of the north some months ago. A live-bird tournament, in the language of the men who love to hear the sound of a shotgun at all seasons of the year,is a rassing of tame pigeons before the traps. E‘ha very announcement that between thirty and forty dozen birds will be on hand on this great day of tame pigeon killing should be in itself sufficient induce- ment to attract the attention of gun-club representatives from all parts of the State. However, only members of the Burlingame Club will be permitted to enjoy the great shooting feast of Baturday. But as there are_among the club several members who also wear t};o Country Club’s colors at big shooting festivals it is presumed that tho%m-ds will suffer, unless they prove to be exceptionally fast fliers, At any rate the barnyard cooers that will be so fortunate as to escape the leaden gefleu from the Burlingame guns will be oubly fortunate if they manage to elude the army of non-club members who will be scattered along the outskirts of the field | | | | | He said yesterday concern- | in waiting for a crack at the feathered do- mestics. The Country Club met yesterday at it shooting grounds near Shell Mound Park, and helg a very pleasant aiternoon’s sport, stopping and missing tailers, quarterers, incomers and tower2rs. Some of the members made good scores, but generally speaking the shooting was below the aver- age. ‘A few months ago George Crocker re- turned from a trip abroad and among the many strange things he discovered while in foreign lands were some very strange iporting dogs and an accomplished game- eeper. The latter was unearthed by Mr. Crocker while touring through England, and being very much impressed with the keeper’s ac- cent and style in general, he contracted to have him live under the stars and stripes, and while so engaged Mr. Crocker’s dogs were to receive a thorough English educa- tion—that is so far as pointing, retrieving and the mouthing of game birds are con- cerned. ¥ gl K ‘When the gillie landed in California he was dispatched to Olema, where he re- mained under the Country Club’s wing for some months. He was eventually trans- ferred to Del Monte, that is, when Mr, Crocker's kennels of pointers and setters were removed south, and matters in the doggy line pro- gressed beautifully until the owner of the highly valued thoroughbreds dis- covered that the imported keeper was not training his dogs to answer the American style of hunting. The pointers and setters were being broken to point only and the griffons—the imported French “sporting dogs—were being taught to retrieve the birds shot over the pointersand setters. The English keeper insisted that this was the proper and only correct method of training dogs and would not listen to any other manner of breaking either pointers or setters to field work. Sufficient to sa; that an American dog-trainer is now hand- ling Mr. Crocker’s dogs and that the im- ported keeper is once again ena]oymg the good roast beef of his native heath at home. DEATH OF R, M, A CHEE A Councilor of the King of Siam Passes Away Sud- denly. The Government Is Heavily In- debted to the Deceased—Facts of His Life. = Dr. Marian A. Cheek, a pioneer Ameri- can in Siam, and one of the most infiuen- tial men in that kingdom, is dead, and his wife and family, who are sojourning in Oakland, have been apprised offthe fact by cable. The deceased was born in Arkansas | forty-two years ago. When but a mere boy his parents moved to North Carolina, | where he received his early education. At the, age of 16 he entered the Baltimore Meflical College, where he graduated four years later with high honors. He decided that his life-work should be that of a medical missionary, and with that intention he set sail soon aiter his graduation for Siam, where he resided con- tinuously up to the time of his death. He worked under the auspices of the Presby- terian Missionary Board. For ten years Dr. Cheek continued his work as a physician and missionary com- bined, when he decided that he conld do more for the natives by introducing Ameri- can inventions and appliances. Accord- ingly he went into the general merchan- dise” business and succeeded in becoming quite wealthy. % He imported into Siam the first guns and ammunition,and built the first steam- boat there. On account of his amiable dis- position and pumerous kind acts the na- tives became' greatly attached to him. From' all over the province they went to him to be healed. The King and chief Princes employed him as their chief Con- sul. From the northern portion of the conn- try about Laos he went to Bangkok, where he engaged inthe lumber business ona large scale. In ashort time thedoctor came into possession of extensive forest tracts and &as working very large forces of natives in getting out the valuable teak wood used for ornamentation. Some Eng- lishmen interested theofficials, who caused his franchises to be forfeited. Lyingina stream just outside of Bangkok 15,000 teak logs were seized by the Siamese Govern- ment, Dr. Cheek was working under the Ameri- can flag and he appealed to the United States Government for protection. Nego- tiations are now being made between Washington and the American Consul at Siam for damages, which amount to sev- eral hundred thousand dollars, to be paid by the Government. Mrs. Cheek, who resides at 672 Eighteenth gtreet, Oakland, learned a few days ago by cablegram that her husband was fiea No particulars were given.

The amount is about $27,000. | McGlauflin said yesterday that he did not care to answer the question as to whether he had promised Angus half the commission out of court, but he added with a side glance peculiar to himself, and cultivated to an expressive and artistic de- gree since the sensational trouble with his late partner Bresse, that the wrong man was the instigator of the suit. ‘Without going into specific details he re- marked that the elder Bresse knew more | the extrao: ; | give no explanation whatever. point in the case.

Cape Town, South Africa, claims the honor of giving birth to the smallest crea- ture ever known to become a gunnerin the royal artillery, or any other artillery in the whole world. At the Castle, Cape Town, there isa mag- nificent gun, worked by eiec tricity, used for giving the midday and evening time. One fine day all the military and civihans in Cape Town were astonished to hear the gun go off at 10:30 o’ciock in the morning, an hour and a half before the proper time, 12 being the usual bour for firing. Messengers came from the general com- manding the station, the brigade major, commanding officers of each regiments and battery stationed in_Cape Town, and from everybody interested; butthe answer was that no person had been near the gun, nor had anygody interfered with the wires, battery or source from which it was fired. All the officials were fearfully puzzled at inary occurrence, but could The gen- eral in command of the station became furious and said that there was misman- agement somewhere and gave orders for a strict search to be made by the officials for the guiity party. Search was made, buv nothing resulted to throw any light on the extraordinary affair, although the greatest possible pains were taken to solve the mystery. They had practically given the search up, when suddenly the news came from the officials stating that the culprit had been caught and arrested. 5 It seems that the electric current for fir- MERITED REWARD.

P. McElroy, the Plaintiff—-The De~ fendant Says It Is a Bulldoz- Ing Scheme. James P. McElroy has levied an attach- ment on a large section of the Laurel Hill Cemetery tract to secure an alleged debt of $44,700, claimed to be due him by James C. Jordan. Theland on which the attachment is filed in the estimation of the owner is worth several hundred thousand dollars. The $44,700 is for legal and other services said to have been rendered by plaintiff while in the employ of defendant. Mr. Jordan said last night that he was not in the habit of fighting his legal com- plications and difficulties through the columns of the press. But he continued: “I can tell you this is nothing but a scheme to extort money out of me. The effort has been made before during my residence in California and those who tried it have invariably found they had reck- oned without their host. This man was befriended by me. I gave him employ- ment when he needed it, and what objec he can have in the present instance exce that of bulldozing me, I cannot tell. But, as I say, [ do not care to have anything to say about the case in the papers. The at- tachment will be lifted, and if the suit is continued the plamtiff will be required to file a $100,000 bond—if he can. I do not care to attack the man. The case does not amount to that,” snappin, thumb and fingers, “and he will be ti long before he gets through.” ——p tPersecuting a Woman. P.

Mr. Pierson of the legal firm of Pierson & Mitchell, whic)k: represents the Fair ad- ministrators, said Angus had assigned his claim for half the commissions to the Fair estate, and that suit would be brought as soon as possible. Mr. Mitchell has been away for some time, and press of business has prevented Mr. Pierson from getting the necessary papers in readiness. In conclusion he added: ‘‘There seems to be no question that McGlauflin offered to divide commissions with Angus.” An apparently contradictory phase of the case, to which Mr. McGlauflin called attention, is that Mr. Angus is quoted as saying he declined to have anything to do with the buying of wheat for Fair, as they were in the habit of indulging in frequent quarrels and differences. The snit is to be brought, however, and light will be shed on the dark places from the witness-stand. JOHN WRIGHT TO BE SUED. A Wheel Used by One of His Workmen Seriously Injured a Boy. John Wright ot the firm of Wright & Saunders, architects, will be sued for $25,000 damages to-day, by Alfred C. Gun- narson, a minor, through his natural guar- dian and father, C. W. Gunnarson. Rob- ert Ewing and M, Edwards are named as the co-defendants. The complaint sets forth that John Wright is the owner of property on the southwest corner of Polk and Sacramento streets, and that Robert Ewing is em- ployed as agent of John Wright in the care and management of said property, and that M. Edwards, a carpenter, was in the om&loy of the said John Wrght, making certain repairs to the premises of Wright. The plaintiff, a child 12 years of age, was playmng in the yard at the rear of the nouse, which was being repaired, when a wheel that was in use for hoisting shingles and other heavy bodies to the roof, fell to the ground by reason, su the complaint charges, of being insecurely fastened. The child was knocked senseicss, sustain- ing, besides a laceration of the scalp. two fractures of the skull.
