Ao THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1895, ' PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Bandit Brady Arraigned in the Marysville Court. WAS NOT IDENTIFIED. None of the Witnesses Certain That He Was the “Small Robber.”” TWO BICYCLES IN EVIDENCE. Conclusive Proof That the Out- law Had Ridden Cne of the Wheels. MARYSVILLE, CAr, Aug. 12.—The courtroom at the City Hall was crowded to the doors this morning.at the opening of the - preliminary examination of Bandit “Jack” Br: now known on the records as Harry Williams. There was a great shuffling of feet and craning of necks when Williams entered the courtroom, but the attention be attracted did not disturb him in. the least, and he smiled in his| usual pleasant, good-natured way, as if gratified that he was in a position to afford the audience so much entertainment. A large number of witnesses, including rail- road employes and passengers who were aboard the Oregon Express on the night of Reeds station, were pres- nony ¢ hg the ect the prisoner with tne ged—the murder ma County. t witness of the day the en, story of the crime as as been published. He was within a few feet of Browning and the “little rob- ber” all through the exciting occurrence, as they nsed him to assist in relieving pas- sengers of their valuables. He testified that the prisoner answered the d the hold-up at ent, but the te: day failed to co crime for which The most importar A. L. Bowst He retold of the *‘ittle robber” exactly, but he c not positively identify him as being the man. F. A. Kelton, the Wells-Fargo messenger, s ireman Nethercot, who were s forced to lend services in the hold-up, could not throw any additional light on the sub- ject of Brady’s identity. Another witness examined was Herrick, who knew Brady as “ Jack Guire, and Browning, the robber who w killed Sheriff Bogard, as Sam McGuire. She had n them frequently together at Mr. Barre’s place in West Bear River township, and had done washing for them. Doctors Powell and Stratton, who per- formed the autopsy on Sheriff Bogard, tes- tified to the location of the wound and the range of the bullet.” George and T. L. Os- trom told of finding the robbers’ bicycles der a bridge near the scene of the hold- up. B. F. Walker, of the firm of Perkins & Walker of San Francisco, identified one of the wheels that was found, and Brady as the man who had rented it from him on March 24, six days before the robbery. Brakeman George J. Summers and J. R. Trayner repeated the story of the robbery, but were unable to add any material facts to the testimony already given by the other witnesses. The examination will be continued to- morrow. SPOKANE ESCAPES FOLED Ineffectual Attempt of Five Prisoners to Break From Jail. Held at Bay by the Jaller After Having Cut Through the Bars. E, WasH., Aug. 12.—Five des- perate criminals mnade a well-planned but ineffectual attempt to escape from the new County Jail last night. The new jail has just been completed at a great cost and was supposed to be extra strong. It is only about two weeks since the prisoners were moved in there, and last night with an improvised saw made from an old caseknife they easily sawed tnrough three of the bars_and gained ad- mission to the outer corridor. Here they expected to take the jailer unawares and bind him, secure his keys and escave. He was called to the further end of the cor- ridor by a prisoner who claimed to be sick. He noticed the shadow of some one mov- ing afid"mpok a shot at it. He then discov- ered that five of the men were in the cor- ridor, but held them at bay with his gun until help arrived. The caseknife with which the prisoners cut through the bars proves that the new cages are of no account. claim that if the County Commissioners will give them permission, in their pres- ence, they will walk through two iron doors in two hours. s S8 iy WAR ON AT ALBUQUERQUE. Opening of the Contest to Oust Atlantic and Pacific Receivers. ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mr The United States Trust Co, York, trustees of the first-mcrtgage bond- holders of the Atlantic an‘’. Pacific Rail- road Company, filed a suit ‘i the United States court here for the 'oreclosure of the mortgage securing the ,rst mortgage bondholders and for a reftiver to take charge of the property dwgag the pend- ency of the suit. { - Tixe question of the aprlintment of a receiver came up before Ju§ige Collier in chambers this mornini. udge Steery, appearing specially for the Eresent receiv- ers of the road—who were afipointed in the suit of the Mercantile Trust Compeny v The Atlantic and Pacific_Railroad Com- pany—objected to the hearitig of thi pres- ent application, contending that the Judge, during his vacation, bad no juris- diction to determine the matter or appoint receivers. He argued at lergth upen this proposition and cited numerous authorities in support of his contention, but at the conclusion of his argument Judge Collier announced that he did not desire to hear from the other side and overruled the ob- jection of the receivers. : he application forthe appointment of receivers for the Atlantic and Pacific, which involves the removal of the present ones, will be heard upon its merits to- morrow, and will continue tiil finally de- termined. et SAN BERNARDINO DECISION. Judge Campbell Knocks Out a Prohibi- tion Urdinance. SAN BERNARDINO, CiL., Aug. 12.— Judge Campbell to-day decided an impor- tant case touching the powers of the Board of Supervisors. A man named Tisneret has been running a winery at Chino. The people opposed the granting of a-liquor neer of the | The prisoners | license and the board refused to grant one. He continued business and was arrested for selling without a county license, was convicted and fined bf’ a Chino Justice. The case was appealed and Judge Camp- bell reversed the decision of the Justices Court, holding that a person has a right to raise grapes and make wine, and having the right to make wine, has the right to seli it. The decision practically invalidates the existing ordinance giving communities option in such cases. A new ordinance will be adopted providing for a license, now that it is impossible to prohibit the business. This defeats Chino's efforts to remain a temperance town. e CROPS OF CALIFORNIA. Weather of the Past Week Favorable for Rapid Development. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Aug. 12.—Director Barwick of the California weatherand crop service summarizes as follows for the past week : As compared with the normal tempera- ture there has been a deficiency of heat re- ported at all stations except Red Bluff, where an excess of heat of one degree pre- vailed. The weather has been favorable for the rapid development of all summer crops. Fruit is being gathered for ship- ment to the Eastern markets, and also for drying and canning purposes. The crop is generally a light one. Hop-picking will begin in about ten or twelve days, and the crop will-only be a fair one. Grape-picking is being done on a small scale, but will soon be in fall blast. The honey crop will be better than at first supposed. as BEEN MURDER AT ELLENSBURG. One Man Killed and Another Wounded in a Drunken Row. ELLENSBURG, Wasnm, Aug., 12—C. Vincent, who acted as a stoolpigeon for the railroad detectives in April and gave away the attempt to_hold up the Northern Pacific train, shot Mike Kohlopp, a saloon proprietor, in a drunken row last night. John Berzman interfered and was stabbed by Vincent's father. Kohlopp died in half an hour. The Vincents are regarded as worthless. There is talk of lynching. FRESNO WAS DEFRAUDED. Revelations Brought About by the Recent Court-House Blaze. Flimslly Bullt Additions Not Accordance With the Contract. FRESNO, CarL., Aug. 12.—Since the re- cent fire in the courthouse some important disclosures have been made in regard to the construction of the additions about three vears ago. When the additions were built there was no end of talk of poor work being done. The Supervisors took the matter in hand, but after considerable wrangling they accepted the work. The people of Fresno have always suspected fraud in the construction of the additions. Now, since the debris of the fire has been removed shertcomings have been found. When on the night of the fire the blazing pillars of the dome went crashing through the fireproof roof on the south wing, the heavy pillars broke through the cement floor in the basement and the flames caught the panels, wainscots and mold- ings along the staircases and the Super- visors’ chambers. The contract called for cement three inches thick on a bed of con- crete four inches thick. It 1s now found where the cement was broken up by the falling pillars that instead of being three im;bkes it is barely three-quarters of an inch thick. The contract also called_for solid oak in the finishing. The burning and warping of the woodwork has revealed a state of things that wiil probably prove interesting to the next Grand Jury. Instead of being oak the panels on the stairway are seen to be simply redwood covered with a veneer of oak not an eighth of an inch thick. In WOOTTON'S ESTATE DISTRIBUTED. Property of the Murdered Rancher Turned Over to His Brother. FRESNO, Car., Aug. 12.—Judge Risley to-day made a distribution of the estate of ‘William Wootton, the wealthy rancher who mysteriously disappeared from Reed- ley over two years ago, and of whose mur- der Professor W. A. Sanders is suspected. Sanders was convicted of forging Woot~ ton’s name to a $1400 draft and thus prac- tically convicted him of murdering Woot- ton. Wootton has been legally declared dead, although no trace of him, dead or alive, has been found. The estate is valued at from $50,000 to $60,000, consisting of 3700 acres of land in Fresno and Tulare counties and other per- sonal property. The real estate was or- dered turned over to Thomas Wootton, a brother of William Wootton, of England. Personal property, consisting of in securities and bhank deposits was ordered distributed to the Public Adminisirator and his legal advisers. Public Adminis- trator Church gets $1400, and $2100 is to be divided among his three legal advisers, Thomas Wootton will pay for his own legal advice. WILL BORE FOR OIL. Incorporation of a Company of Fresno Capitalists. FRESNO, Carn., Aug. 12.—The Pro- ducers’ and Consumers’ Oil Company to- day filed articles of incorporation with the County Clerk. The capital stock is $1,000,000 and $100,000 has been subscribed The subscribers so far are local capitalists. The objects of the company are to bore for oil and gas in the coast range in the west- ern part of the county. Some important developments of the mineral wealth of that part of the county are expected. Will Raise Raisin Prices. FRESNO, CaL., Aug. 12.—Two raisin- packing and commission firms are now offering 2 cents in the sweat-box for raisins. This is a step in the direction of the earnest desires of the growers who have suffered severely for the past three or four years from the commission system of dispusiniof their crops. Two cents is bet- ter on the average than has been realized in e;mmission system. Growers hope that these two firms will start competition in nlsgxn-buyiug and raise prices. ! At iy {WHARTON IS DISBARRED. Dectsion of Judge Catlin in the Sacra- mento Case. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Aug. 12.—The de- cision in the Warton disbarment proceed- ings was handed down by Superior Judge Catlin this morning. The court finds each charge cited in the complaint true and disbars Wharton unconditionally. The complaint in the proceedings was verified by Wharton’s ~brother-in-law. Three separate offenses were charged, two of which were false returns of summons in divorce cases, and the third an attempt to deceive the court by taking up a default before the time ‘allowed by law had elapsed. SLmAenE PREPARING FOR ANOTHER RAID. Dannocks Going to the Juniper Falley to . Slaughter Deer. BOISE, Inamo, Aug. 12.—Information comes from Owyhee County that the Ban- nock Indians, together with the Duck Val- ley Indians, are going into the Juniper Valley to slaughter deer. They killed 1500 there last fall for their hides, and trouble was only averted by the Indians being called back to the reservation. The settlers announce they will not permit the Indians to kill the game in the valley. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Hundreds of Veterans Visit the Soldiers’ Home. RECEIVED WITH ECLAT. Guests Praise the Well-Kept Lawns and Gardens of the Inmates. FIGHTERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. Heroes of One Regiment Which Left Hundreds on Southern Flelds. SANTA MONICA, CarL., Aug. 12.—This was Soldiers’ Home day and the Pacific Coast branch of the Soldiers’ Home, only three miles distant, was the Mecca for about every one in camp here, There was left behind only a corporal’s guard, includ- ing Colonel Beahn, officer of the day, and Sam Kutz, officer of the guard, but the few detained at camp by the commander’s orders made merry indeed, though they were few in number. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company furnished a special for the accommodation of the veterans, it taking a dozen coaches to carry them. At 9:20 o'clock the con- ductor called out, “All aboard,” and on they went, singing “As We Go Marching Through Georgia.” They were in reality moving through the richest grain and corn fields of the State to the homes of the de- crepit veterans who were resting after life’s battles at the place prepared for them by a grateful country. Sixteen hundred and fifty of these warriors are on the rolls. and over 300 are asleep in the cemetery on the hill, fanned by the ocean breeze. The excursionists were met at the South- ern Pacific depot by Governor Rowland and staff. The members of John A: Martin Post, 200 strong; Encampment No. 138, U. V. L., sixty strong, and_about thirty of the naval veterans, with a large proportion of the members who belong to neither of the associations, acted as an escort. They were taken to headquarters, where Gov- ernor Rowland delivered a graceful and pithy speech of welcome, which_was hap- pily resfionded toby Commander Dill. Gov- ernor Rowland told the guests to take whatever they wanted, and Adjutant Roache, casting a longing eve on the Governor’s chapeau, proceeded to appro- priate it. They were ten cseorted about the grounds in an informal manner, visiting the six barracks and the one under construction, the kitchen and dining-room, the hospital where'the invalids suffer in patience, waiting for either healthagain or the Great Command- er's reveille, the assembly hall, the four | officers’ quarters, the steam laundry, the bakery and even the guardhouse, the res- ervoir, the pumping station, tramping in fact over the entire 640 acres admiring the vegetable gardens, tended by veterans, the luxuriant orchards and the ever-blooming flowers and well-kept lawns, and some plucking ears of corn like the disciples of old. At noon all partook of a bountiful collation. It was a pleasant day, and the veterans and their families returned at 3 o’clock more than delighted with the ex- cursion. At5o’clock dress parade was participated in by 420 men, E. T. Blackmer, command- er of Heintzieman Post No. 33, being in command and John Brooker officiating as adflutam. The evening entertainment at the pa- yilion was arranged by John A. Martin Post and the other veteran associations of the home, it being an exceedingly enter- taining one and enjoyed by a packed house. Last evening's praise service was enjoyed by the largest audience of the en- campment at_the pavilion, with music by a chorr of the M. E. church here consisting of over fifty voices, led by Mrs, E. H. Car- enter. There was an address by Dr. W. M. Stevenson of the M. E. church, who spoke on “The Grand Army of the Re- &)\_ubhc.” and a talk by Rev. George H. de ay of the Congregational church on “A Second Rescue of the Flag Necessary,” it being a stirring temperance address, and, after sineing “‘America,’” the audience was dismissed. The new Council of Administration, which assumes the duties of office January 1, had a meeting yesterday and selected a committee on transportation, consisting of Dr. A. C. Keating of San_Bernardino, Sam Kutz of Los Angeles and A. H. John- son of Monrovia._ It is the intention of the forthcoming Council of Administration to have next year's encampment eclipse anything of the kind ever held here. There are already six places in the field for the honor—Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Oceanside, San Diego and Cata- lina Island. New Hampshire has not a long list of veterans here, but they are as solid as the granite of their native hills. There are three of them who went to the front in the Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers, which lost the most men in_thejwar of any regi- ment, it having left in 1861 for the front with 1000 men, receiving recruits at differ- ent times until the regimental roster of the entire four years numbered 2800. . They came out of the conflict with a little band, 168 strong, over 1200 having been kilted on the field of battle. The three from the Fifth Regiment are M. Hoyt of Company A, Soldiers’ Home; E. Smith of Company H, Soldiers’ Home, and H. C. Kelsy of Company I, Compton. There are also here from the Granite State and on the State Association roster, Freemrn D.

SHOT WHILE SLEEPING. Pockets of the Victim Rifled of Their Valuables and Gold. SOUGHT REPOSE IN A CABIN. The Assassin Thought to Have Entered Stealthlly and Taken His Life. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Aug. 12.—The body of a stranger supposed to be named J. Howard was found last evening in a de- serted cabin about six miles north of En- cinitas, twenty-five miles north of here. The finder notified Coroner Johnson, who went to the spot this morning. He found evidences that murder had been com- mitted. The body appeared to be that of a man 50 years of age. It was well dressed, and lying upon its back, with the head resting upon a coat, which was rolled up for a pillow. A hat was over the face and there was a bullet-hole through it. The bullet had entered the skull just above and behind the left ear, passing out through the hat. It would have been im- possible for the man to have fired the shot himself. Farther examination showed that one pocket of the trousers was turned inside out, and no money was found on the body, indicating that murder had been committed for the purpose of robbery. A few articles such as pipe and tobacco were found, but nothing to show the identity of the body except a poll tax receipt issued in this county dated April 25, and in the name of “J. Howard.” Coroner Johnson impaneled a jury and as complete an examination as possible was made. Itappeared to the jury that the man had laid down to sleep and some person had stepped in lightly through the open door and fired the shot, rifling his pockets and making escape. There was nothicg in the way of firearms about the body or premises. The locality is isolated, being several hundred yards off a main road and considerable distance from a rail- road. The jury returned a verdict that death was caused by a pistol wound at the hands of persons unknown, and the body was buried near where it was found. MRS. BURTON DEAD.

Legal Counsel Sought and Actlon to Be Demanded From the Supervisors. It is now nearly two weeks since the residents of Clarendon Heights, those of Frederick, Carl and Gratton streets, those on Stanyan, south of Height street, and those who dwell in thedistrict immediately south of Golden Gate Park were robbed by the Market-street Company of their street- car facilities. For nearly two weeks these citizens have suffered the hardship of walking from their homes to the Market-street cable- cars. They hoped, from day to day, that the Market-street Company would put on the service of electric cars, so suddenly and so mysteriously taken away from them, or that, at least, the officials of the company would make known their inten- tions in the matter. But, of course, the latter hope was vain. The Market-street Company has given no reason for its high-handed action in sud- denly and unexpectedly leaving a popu- Jous portion of the City without streetcar facilities, nor has it set any date for the future running of cars. It hasonly main- tained a clam-like silence throughout. That a body of citizens are indignant, dis- appointed, discommoded, angry even, is nothing atall to the Market-street Com- pany. There are eight men in the City willing and ready to accommodate the Market-street Company whenever a new franchise is wanted. The public be —! That is the attitude of the Market-street Company. And never has it been more brazenly exhibited than in the present in- stance. But now the people of this district have tired of waiting. They mean to act. Legal advice has been consulted, an indignation meeting will be held shortly, and the Board of Supervisors will be asked to de- clare the entire franchise of the Metropoli- tan branch of the Market-street Railway Company null and void. Nothing short of a forfeiture of the franchise will satisfy these citizens now—and the Southern Pa- cific of Kentucky will find among these angry and indignant citizens not a few men of wealth and influence in the com- munity. Inasmuch as the Board of Supervisors has adjourned till the 7th of September nothing of a definite nature, unfortunately, can be done in the matter of having the franchise forfeited. Meanwhile the prop- erty-owners and residents of the neighbor- hood will perfect their plans and be ready to petition the Supervisors when next they assemble. The attorneys consulted are of the opinion that the franchise has been forfeited beyond all peradventure, and that it only rests with the Board of Super- visors te declare the forfeiture in order to make it possible for another company to secure the franchise. The franchise of this branch of the Market-street system was granted, over the veto of Mayor Pond, in December, 1890, to the San Francisco Syndicate and Trust Company. The next owner of the franchise was the Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pany, at the head of which was Wendell Easton. This contern built the road and afterward sold it to the Market-street Com- pany. A clause of section 4 of this fran- chise reads as follows: The cars to be run daily onand over said route at least every fifteen minutes between the hours of 7 A. M. and 9 P. M. (unless prevented during a period of riot or by other unavoidable cause). For the period of nearly two weeks not a single car has moved over that part of this franchise west and south of the junction of Page and Cole streets. There has been no riot during that period, nor has there been an ‘‘unavoidable cause” to prevent the running of the cars. The first part of section 9 of the fran- chise, coupled with the foregoing clause, forms the basis upon which the Board of Supervisors will be asked to declare a for- feiture of the franchise. It reads as fol- lows: Said grantee, its successors or assigns shall fulfill each and all the separate conditions expressed in this order or by statute; and unless such conditions are rictly and fully performed to the sat- faction of this board the franchise shall become null and void. It is the opinion of counsel for these property-owners and residents that if these’sections mean anything at all they mean that the franchise has been forfeited by the failure of the company to fulfill one of the most important of its conditions. It becomes the duty now of the Board of Supervisors to declare the forfeiture, the Supreme Court having decided that the clause quoted is not self-active but must be enforced by the legislative power that granted the privilege which has thus been forfeited. e —————— The U.
