4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1895. JUDGE BRUNSON GONE Sudden Passing of the Noted Jurist at San Bernardino. ILL BUT A FEW DAYS. Stricken by Heart Troubles While Hunting in the Mountains. LOVED STRIFE AT THE BAR. He Left the Bench Because He Pre-~ ferred to Plead Rather Than Judge. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Oct. 8.— Judge Anson Brunson died suddenly in his rooms at the Stewart Hotel at 4:30 o'clock this morning. His death was en- tirely unsuspected, and few of his friends knew even that he was ill. About ten days ago Judge Brunson went to Squirrel Inn, on the San Bernardino Mountains, fourteen miles north of here, and had a week’s good sport hunting and fishing in Bear Valley. On Friday evening he was taken ill with heart and stomach troubles. On Sunday a telephone message was received from the Inn requesting an ambulance, and on Monday morning the patient was brought down. He began to sink as soon as he reached here, and no skill could stimulate his heart action. The principal cause of death was heart failure. Judge Brunson was easily at the head of the bar of Southern California. He was born in 1834 in Lorain County, Ohio, at- tended Kern College and was graduated from Ann Arbor University. He studied law at Eaton Rapids, Michigan, and at the age of 27 removed to California, taking up the practice of law at Napa, where he re- mained five years, removing thence to Los Angeles, where he resided continuously until a year ago, when he removed here. Ten years ago he was elected Superior Judge for Los Angeles County, but his energetic mind rebelled at the peace of the bench after twenty years of warfare at the bar. He loved strife with giant lawyers, and after a few months of service resigned. Subsequently he became the counsel of the Santa Fe Railroad and held the position until failing health warned him to cease labors for a time. He madea visit to Honolulu, and on his return came to this city and formed a partnership with Elmer E. Rowell, whose unprofessional conduct a few weeks ago caused Judge Brunson no little perturbation. Dr. Brunson was a lover of art, and had one of the finest collections of paintings in this part of the State. His only relatives were a brother, Dr. E. Brunson of Redondo, who was at his bed- side, and a married daughter living in Illinois. The funeral will be held to-mor- row afterncon from the courthouse, Masons and Knights of Pythias joining with the bar in the last honors. STEAMIERS TO CARRY OIL Product of the Los Angeles Wells to Be Transported by Water. The First Vessel Will Leave for San Franclsco Within Thirty Days. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 8.—0il men are jubilant to-night, for before another day passes a contract will be signed with responsible parties who are to furnish an outlet for their surplus product and en- able it to reach the San Francisco market. The Oil Exchange was in executive session nearly all day, and although the names of the parties with whom the contract is to be made are withheld, they are understood to be a combination of local and Eastern capitalists. The coming into the field of the Standard Oil Company has had the effect of bringing the negotiations to a speedy and successful conclusion. A prominent oil man said to-night: “The contract to-morrow will provide for a freight steamer or steamers to ply between either Redondo, Santa Monica or Ban Pedro and San Francisco, which will handle the oil of the exchange exclusively. At present shipments will be made by rail to the seaport, but if the business warrants it a pipe 1:ne will ultimately be built. The exchange will guarantee sufficient oil to keep the vessel busy, and, as there is already a demand- in San Francisco, as soon as the oil can be delivered, for 1000 barrels daily which can easily be increased to 3000, transport- ing it will bea profitable business. The time of the contract will be three years, ana the amount involved in carrying it out about $800.000. As far as the Standard 0il Company is concerned we are glad to have it in the field, but as we now control almost the entire output and have access to a market that will use all our surplus, if the Standard people desire to purchase they will have to come in on' the same footing as other buyers.” " The first oil steamer will leave for San Francisco within thirty days. =k Sl BREACH OF DISCIPLINE.

FEUD OF ROUND VALLEY, Authentic Details of the Re- ported Lynching Are Lacking. Rumors of Further Fighting Be- tween the ' White and Palmer Factions. UKIAH, Oar., Oct. 8.—As yet there has been nothing to verify the report received bere from Round Valley yesterday that two additional lynchings had taken place at Red Mountain.

APPEAL T0 ERIN'S SONS, The Irish National Alliance Issues a Request for Funds. Ireland’s Struggle for Freedom to Be Waged Outside of Parllament. NEW YORK, N.Y.,Oct. 8.—The National officers and executive council ‘'of the lrish National Alliance has issued the follow- ing appeal: Headquarters Irish National Alliance, Octo- ber 6, 1895. To All Friends of Irish Inde- pendence: The convention which recentl. organized in Chicago the Irish Nationa! Alliance has placed its gnidance and govern- ment in the hands of the undersigned for the ensuing two years. The purpose of the alli- nce has already been sufiiciently proclaimed to obtain the complete independence of Ire- land by any means consistent with the laws of nations. Organizations, like governments, have to de- pend on their revenue for the successful ac- complishment of their duties. The sinews of war for both are absolutely necessary, both for organization and propaganda. England, the arch-enemy of Ireland, has at her disposal im- mense resources, the accumulation of cen- turies of conquest and piracy. She has itin guv\er to control and mold public opinion in er own interests. Even in free America she fiossc!ses this power to an astonishing extent. erside of the Irish question has filled the American mind for a quarter of a century— ever since Ircland’'s friends at home and abroad committed the costly fault of trusting 10 Parliamentary agitation to achieve the lib- erty of their motherhood. Now, however, a totally different poligy has been inaugurated. The absolute claim of Ire- land to a distinct national life has been placed forcibly before the world by the unanimous voice of the recent Irish Naiional convention held at Chicago. Provincialism has been cast aside and the national demand of Ireland, which slumbered put dia not die, is again in the ascendant. We are determined that it shall 50 remair, and that no effort 'of ours, no sacrifice on our part, will be leit untried or un- performed until victory crowns our successful cause. We ?pEIl, therefore, to all friends of the in- dependence of Irelend to aid us in this good work by placing at our disposal the means requisite for its’ accomplishment. You are asked to subscribe in_accoraance with your means and to forward your subscription as speedily as possible to the treasurer of the Irisn ational Alliance, Hon. P. V.

DASHED AWAY WITH THE LOOT Loungers In Front of the Bullding Were Ignorant of the Daring Robbery. COLUSA, CaL.,, Oct. 8.—The Farmers’ Cash store at Arbuckle was held up last night by a single highwayman. The safe and cash-drawer were robbed of about $150. William Evans, the clerk, was alone in the store. Mr. Murdoch, the manager, and a number of others were sitting on the sidewalk in front of the store. Young Evans was wrapping up a ham, when the back door opened and a man with a potato- sack over his head stepped in and leveled a shotgun at his head, commanding him to go into the office. Evans, thinking his visitor was some practical joker, hesitated. “Move on; I mean what I say,” ordered the robber, and Evans did as directed. The robber, noticing a gun near by, told Evans to step back, and after securing the weapon ordered Evans to open the safe and put the contents in a sack which he held. After looting the safe the robber told him to go to the cash-drawer and give him what it contained. Evans started, the robber following close behind with the gun still leveled at his head. After secur- ing the silver out of the drawer, about $35 in gold in the back part of the drawer be- ing overlooked, the robber said: “Now, when I say go you go, and when I say stop you stop and you won't get into any trouble. Now, go out the back door and up the alley.” 2 Evans went out and up the alley about 100 feet, wher: the masked man, who had followed behind, told him to halt and re- turn to the store. Evans lost no time in getting back and gave thealarm to the loungers in front of the store, who had remained in ignorance. Parties started in pursuit at once, searching the surround- ing country, but without avail. People in the lower part of town saw a man pass on horseback on a fast run shortly after the robbery. The robber was of medium size, wore overalls and judging from the tracksin the alley had on brogan shoes with large tacks in them. A SAN JOSE MUNCHAUSEN Sensational Charges Against Mrs. Golden Denounced as Untrue. The Acoused Woman Throws Light on the Reason for Thelr Pub- lication. BAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 8.—A sensational story was putlished in the San Francisco Chronicle to-day, in whick Mrs. A. Golden of this city was charged with having en- tered into a conspiracy to have her hus- band’s life insured and then poison him to get the money. The story purports to be the sworn statement of Fred McCullough, formerly employed by the Goldens in their fruit and candy store, 91 North First street. The alleged facts of the case are said to have been developed by Erwin Frost, who said he sold the story to the Chronicle for a large sum. Regarding the story Mrs. Golden said to-day: “The statement that I told Mc- Cullough 1 was going to poison my hus. band is utterly false. I never even inti- mated that I wished to doaway with my busband. It is a lie made out of whole cloth, and I don't believe that M¢Cullough ever made such a statement. The whole story is_but the resultof Erwin Frost’s spite against us. *‘Fred McCullough came to us last win- ter and told us that as he had no place to stop he would work for us until spring for his board, lodging and washing. After being in our employ for nearly four months McCullough auit one Saturday on his own accord. The next Monday Erwin Frost came into the store with a bill for wages due McCullongh for 116 days’ work at $1 a day. We refused to pay the claim, Frost bronfiht suit against us. It appears that McCuHough agreed to give Frost all of the mone{ secured from us except $10. Frost paid all the expenses of a suit and a verdict was rendered in our favor. This is the reason for Frost’s enmity toward my- self and husband.” e EBERLE GOES FREBRE. Mrs. Hager Failed to Appear Against the Alleged Horse-Thief. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 8.—When the case of Louis Eberle, charged with em- bezzling a valuable mare belonging to Mrs. Josephine Hager, came up for trial in Judge Lorigan’s court this morning, the progecuting witness failed to putin an ap- pearance.

He borrowed the mare in question from Mrs. Hager to ride to Oakland, and a short time after notified Mrs. Hager that the horse had fallen over an embankment and broken its neck. This did not satisfy Mrs. Hager, and she had him arrested. The officers have failed to locate the mare, dead or alive. 8ince Eberle has been in jail Mrs, Hager has changed her mind about prosecutin him, and she has mysteriously diappeared. e METHODIST CONFERENCE.

Mr. Dawis, after having herded the cows into a temporary corral, appeared- before his guests and ex- tended them the hearty, glad hand of toil. Then the assemblage fell upon the feast that had been prepared and forgot the outer world. Speeches by Senator Jones and the Gov- ernor and toasts by many others were in- troduced at intervals, and the band drowned out the soft moo of thoroughbred cattle with bursts of crescendo and strains from Wugner, Mascagni, Verdi and others. All the afternoon the flowing bowl and the fragrant Havanas were occu- pied in aupplging the demand. By 6 p. M. the suppliof chicken began to run low and George Nixon, editor of the Silver State, headed a raid upon the hen- house, wiping out two dozen spring birds, which were broiled over the farm range. Allen Bragg of the Reno Gazette drove the farmhands up in the loft and, assisted by F. W. Fairbanks oi the Lyon County Times and H, A. Lemmon of the Carson Tribune, milked fourteen cows and set the foaming lacteal fluid upon the tables. Editor Kelly of the Reno Journal, with a detachment of State officials, invaded the orchard for more apples and pears, but they had all been sold to supply the clamorous California demand. ‘When the party broke up over 100 people were pretty thoroughly convinced that the Holstein rancn was no myth and that the honest farmer of Nevada can raise some- thing besides sagebrush. . RIVERSIDE COUNTY WON. A Decision of Interest to Fruit-Growers Throughout the State. RIVERSBIDE, CaL., Oct. 8.—The Superior Court of this county handed down a de- cision to-day which is of interest to all fruit-growers in the State. Some months ago E. E. Babecock, an orange-grower of this city, began a suit against the county to recover $3000 damages for injury done his grove through the pro- cess of fumigation. The case has been warmly contested by both sides, as it was recognized that the decision would be of vital importance to the taking care of insect pests. The decision of the eourt was for the county. ————————— THE GHANCE OF A LIFETINE. He Lost It Because He Was Subject to Colds. “Mr. Simkins, you were not here yester- day,” said the proprietor to his superin- tendent. Simkins has heretofore not got along very rapidly, “for lack of opportunity,” he says. His abilities are first-class, but he is always catching cold or something. “Mr. Bimkins,” continues his employer, “I value your services highly; there is a brilliant future for you here, but I would rather have a second-class man here all the time than a first-class man part of the time. You must take better care of your- | self.” But the weather is against him. His absence another day causes the firm a serious loss and he joins the army of un- employed. There are many Simkinses—men and women whose prospects are dwarfed and careers ruined because some weakness or ailment—‘too trifling for serious atten- tion”—reduces their capacity for work and usefulness. Their hope is Peruvian Bitters, that most perfect of tonics—a bulwark against colds, coughs, grippe, malaria, lassitude and loss of appetite and energg, reducing to a minimum the tendency to disease, up- holding the weak and enabling the strong to husband their vigor and vitality for “stormy weather.” Mack & Co., San Francisco.
