4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1895. NEWS OF THE COAST, Expert Testimony in Hale & Norcross at Virginia, Nevada. NINE WITNESSES HEARD Closely Examined by Plaintiff's Counsel, Who Did Not Shake Them, CAR SAMPLE ASSAYS T00 HIGH: General Belief That the Supreme Court Will Reopen the Cele- brated Case. VIRGINIA, NEv., Oct. 30.—Three days have been consumed here at the office of W. F. Deal in taking expert testmony in the famous Hale & Norcross suit. The testimony taken has, it appears, injured the plaintifi’s cause very materially. ‘When Judge Hebbard of San Francisco rendered his decision giving the plaintiff, Fox, a verdict of $1,011,000 he did so on the basis of car-sample assays. These as- says, he declared, were the pivotal points in the case. The Supreme Court reversed this, and oraered judgment to be taken on the basis of the battery assays, which made a differ- ence in the amount of the judgment of about $300,000. Nine witnesses have been examined dur- ing the three days, all experts in minin and these witnesses to a man affirm t car-sample assays are invariably unre- liable and too high, and that the battery or pulp assays are the only true guides by which the value of ore can be determined. Attorney Baggett, counsel for plaintiffs, examined these witnesses with exceeding care and minuteness on this point, but could not alter their testimony in the least. The president and secretary of the Nevada Mill and Mining Company that re- duced the ores were also examined as to the correctness of the books and the low grade and worthless ores that were taken to the mill for reduction. Their testimony was to the effect that $7, the price paid for milling the ore, was not excessive and was the price universally vaid by every mill on the Comstock. That not over 10 to 15 per cent of the ore assayed as low as §12 per ton and not any assayed under that valuation. Fully 85 to 9 per cent of the ore that was milled, they de- clared, paid the Hale & Norcross a profit. 1t is generally believed that the Supreme Court of California may reopen the case on the strength of this evidence, and if it should, that the judgment against the defendants, Hobart, Hayward and Levy, will be reduced to a figure based on the 10 to 15 per cent of low-grade ore that was taken to the Nevada mill. ‘When the attorneys in the case left here this evening Baggett had a worried ex- pression, and did not appear as if he was pleased with the testimony that had been taken. Attorney Woods, on the other hand, seemed pleased with the turn of the case. None of the counsel seemed in- ned to talk, and refused to be inter- viewed. About 500 pages of type-written matter were taken in the depositions of the nine witnesses. It will therefore be seen that the assay question is the vital one in the case. All of the witnesses who were seen by TrHE CaLL correspondent gave the in- formation that this was practically the only point in regard to which they were questioned. Evan Williams, superintendent of the Nevada Mill and Mining Company, be- lieves that sufficient new testimony can be gathered together to reopen the case, and if such should prove true that Baggett's $252,000 fee allowed him by Judge Heb- d will be almost if not wholly wiped out, and that the judgment against the defendants will be reduced to a very small figure. It would not surprise him, he says, if judgment were rendered against the plaintiff, Fox, should the case be re- opened, J. R. Ryan, the superintendent of the Hzle & Norcross, would not express an opinion. The people here are anxious in regard to the cutcome, as they believe that things will start up again when this case and the one against Mackay are finally settled. Inasmuch as it is conceded that if the law assumes that returns must be made to the mines by the mills on the basis of the car sample assays, and not the battery assay, as has been customary, it will subject almost every company on the Comstock to litigation, KERRETT FOUND GUILTY The Slayer of Detective Lawson Convicted by a Jury at Los Angeles. Story of the Killing Told by the Prisoner While on the Witness-Stand. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 30.—The jury in the trial of Kennett for the killing of Lawson returned at 8 p. M. with a verdict of manslaugnter. In his testimony to-day Kennett re- counted his past life, in presenting him- self in the best light. Following this he described the scene in the office at the time of the shooting. It is not known to any other living per- son what took place behind the locked door of the private office at the time of the shooting. But Kennett’s narrative of what occurred in the outside office pre- ceding his going into the rear office and how he went into the rear office is at variance with the testimony of the other witnesses. Kennett stated that he went to the office through an appointment with Kemp to have a money settlement with Lawson. Kemp had gone away and he went into the private office with Lawson to have a talk. Lawson called him a vile name and moved to assault him. He drew his pistot and fired. At the close of this testimony the defense rested. The prosecution then introduced a num- ber of rebuttal witnesses. J. W. Kemp told of a countract with Law- son whereby Kemp was to receive the re- ward in the Kid Thompson case and pay quqrhh sharg, Keaneit knew thus, Dennis Kearney impeached the testimony ot Le Croix by saying that Le Croix was not about while he was in the office. P. J. Kennedy testified that Kennett had told in the jail that he had his hand on his pistol in his pocket when he entered Law- son’s office. C. B. Mailory described Lawson’s ap- pearance, H. S. Clements said no pistol was found on Lawson’s body. The arguments were made and the case submitted with no hope of a verdict to- night. The early return of the jury wasa surprise. e WELCOME MRS.

LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 30.—J. Rhein- strom, the man who was arrested in this city some weeks ago on a warrant jssued at Atlanta, Ga., charging him with fraud in an insurance transaction and who was taken_back to_the scene of his alleged de- falcation, left his wife, who appears to be & woman of culture and refinement, in absolute want, with three children, a bright boy of 9'years of age, a sweet little girl of 15 months old and an infant of 3 weeks. Through the kindness of A. C Bilicke, roprietor of the Hollenbeck Hotel, H. W. ‘rank, A.

L0S ANGELES, Car., Qct. 30.—Burglars blew open the safe of the Southern Pacific Company’s station at Burbank last night, but had their trouble for their pains, as they secured but 15 cents. Agent Powell sleeps at the station, but before he recovered from the fright caused | by the explosion the burglars had disap- peared. Detective Bowler and Deputy Sheriff Aguirre have been out on the case to.day, but no clew has yet been obtained. e Tourists From the East. LOS ANGELES, Cav., Oct. 30.—Seventy- five tourists arrived on a Phillips excursion to-day from the East. Another big ex- cursion will arrive in a few days. VALLEY ROAD AT FRESKD, Officials of the Company to Call the Committee of Ten for Business. The Way Mapped Out for the En. trance of the Line Into the City. FRESNO, Carn., Oct. 30.—W. E. Edes, chief assistant engineer of the Valley road, and Mr. Graham, who has charge of the local surveying corps, at- tended the meeting of the committee of ten to-night, and informed the committee that the acting president, Watt, and Attorney Preston will in a few days come to Presno to confer with the committes regarding the purchase of property desired for the route and depot site. The committee authorized the announce- ment that directors of the road have ex- pressed a positive preference for tho O-street route. The work of running a line from a point near Colonel Wood’s place, one and a half miles south of town, and through the city to a point north of town to which the survey has been com- vleted from the San Joaquin River, will be completed to-day. The road will enter through the Belmont Addition and on to Q street, runming in a southerly course. The depot site will be located south of Tulare street. The com- mittee is taking steps to secure half of the blocks on each side of Q street from Tulare to Santa Clara streets. This will amount to five whole blocks besides the street for depot purposes. At the next meeting of the City Trustees a petition for a franchise on Q street will be presented. There is no question that it will be allowed e SUFFERING TRAMPS. Eighteen Unhappy Travelers Imprisoned in a Boxcar. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 30.—As the San Francisco train that arrived in Los Angeles this morning was stopped at Ba- kersfield the trainmen were surprised at hearing peculiar sounds inside of a boxcar that was on a sidetrack. The sounds were followed by Joud thumpings and cries for help. Tge trainmen opened the door and out rushed eighteen or twenty tramps, who presented a most forlorn and lugubrious appearance. They had taken to the box- car two days before and were locked in without fooa or water for two days. They presented a most forlorn look when re- leased, and immediately mede a rush to get something to eat and drink. AT R OIL FOR RAILROAD ENGINES. The Santa ¥e Successful in Its Experi- ments With Burners. LOS ANGELES, Cawn., Oct. 30.—It is understood that the Southern Pacific will soon commence experimenting with local oil for steam-making purposes. Assistant Superintendent Pryor of the company said this morning that it was likely the master mechanic in the shops here would shortly commence the work of fitting up two en- gines with oilburners. The Santa Fe is meeting with much success in the use of oil, and nearly every engine running over the company’s lines In Southern California has an oilburner. The great engine that will have the Chicago flyer between Barstow and the city will burn ol HEWS OF THE COAST, Collision Between the Gat- zert and Potter Near Kalama. CAUGHT IN A DENSE FOG The Night So Intensely Dark That the Pilots and Look- outs Could Not See. CUT TO THE WATER'S EDGE. Both Steamers Damaged, but the Pas- sengers Were Only Shocked. PORTLAND, Okr., Oct. 30.—The steamers Bailey Gatzert and T. J. Potter collided near Kalama at 1:30 o’clock this morning, resulting in the Gatzert being cut to the water's edge and the damaging of the Potter’s stem. The accident occurred during a dense fog and was partially due to the Govern- ment rule of navigation that in such weather vessels approaching each other cannot give signals to pass until the pilot of either can descry the outline of the other vessel’s hull through the fog or mist. The Potter was bound up river on her night trip to Portland from Astoria and the Bailey Gatzert was proceeding down stream, having left this city at her usual hour, 8 P. M. The night was intensely dark,a thick fog covering the river and preventing the pilots or lookouts from secing a length ahead of the steamers. The *Gatzert had made a landing at Kalama, and soon after leaving heard the minute whistle of the Potter as that steamer came up stream through the fog. On board the Potter Captain Sullivan had also caught the signaling of the Gat- zert, and sent bells below to slow down, which it is evident Captain Craigon the Qatzert likewise did, although that steamer has not yet arrived in Portland, and the fact cannot be definitely stated. Thus, proceeding under half headway | and blowing fog signals, the two steamers | approached each other, until a point op- posite Danbys Landing, one and a half miles below Kalama, was reached. Here the pilot of the Gatzert suddenly dis- covered the upper works and smokestack of the Potter looming up through the fog. Instantly the bells went ringing to the engine-room to reverse the engines. Almost at the same instant the Potter was given sternway, but so close were the steamers that the collission could not be averted, for hardly had the wheels of the Potter made ten revolutions astern when her sharp stem struck the other boat just for- ward of the port gangway, cutting the Gatzert down within a few inches of the water’s edge. The Potter sustained but slight damage, while the Gatzert, in the still night and calm surface of the river, was in condition to put back to Kalama. Those passengers who had been aroused by the shock and hurried from their staterooms were thus reassured and went back to bed. Pl e e SMOOTH SWINDLER CAUGHT. Embezzled a Cripple’s Money at Portland, but Brought to Justice, PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 30.—Frank Pease, a smooth embezzler wanted here, has been arrested at Walla Walla. A detective has gone to bring him back. Early this morn- ing he got permission from the Good Samaritan Hospital authorities to solicit money to purchase an artificial limb for Edward Carney, an old man just having a leg amputated in its infirmary. Pease represented himself as a philanthropist, having spent much of his time in gratuitous work of this sort. First Pease took his own worthless time- piece and left it with a cigar-store to be raffled off for the benefit of the unfortunate victim of the surgeon’s knife, who was in need of a wooden leg. Next he armed himself with a subscription blank setting forth the mission of charity that called him into activity and canvassed the city. He called at most of the business houses on the yest side of the river, and then car- ried his work over to the east side and worked on the sympathies of the employes in the Albina carshops. Nowhere did he meet with rebuffs, and, all told, he collected some $200. The raffle | of the watch netted him about $100. Tak- ing all this money, Pease made himself the object of charity, and skipped. Sl i IMPOVERISHED SQUATTERS. Portland’s Poor to Be Evicted From Rail- way Lands. PORTLAND, Ox., Oct. 30.—About twenty squatters’ families are yet living on the Oregon Railway and Navigation grounds, despite the orders of the United States court and the efforts of the Marshal and the company to peaceably evict them. The order was made some time ago, and the Marshal wasauthorized to expel them from the premises. A good many did leave, but some remained. Those who did not vacate the premises so earnestly pleaded poverty and inability to move that the authorities were disposed to deal leniently with them. Yesterday a Deputy Marshal visited all these people and notified them that they must vacate if they wished to avoid trouble. Tl{ei are of the poorest among the impoverished class and are sure to be- come a burden upon the community be- fore the close of the winter. e Modesty of the Reliance Boys. PORTLAND, Ogr., Oct. 30.—This morn- ing’s Southern Pacific train brought the Reliance Football Club of Oakland to town. The Reliance boys are modest. They do not claim to be confident of vic- tory in the tussle with the Multnomahs on Saturday. In fact they demur a good deal when they are approached about their reputation as sluggers, and_they give the impression that victory will not be easily won. LULU ISLAND GOLD CRAZE. One Hundred More Claims Staked Out. British Columbia People Going Wild With Excitement. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 30.—Intense excitement still prevails on Lulu Island over Jack McLeod bringing up a nugget of gold on a bore while digging a well. One hundred more claims have been staked, and waggish skeptics are feeding the un- healthy excitement by displaying black sand #prinkled with brass filings as com- ing from the vicinity. A gold nugget worth over $200 was picked up near the town ot Kamloops, a lday’s ride from Vancouver Direct and reliable information has been received of high-grade gold-bearing ore being found at Alberni, a few miles from Nanaimo, B. C., and authentic reports are to hand of fabulously rich gold strikes in the Slocan Lake conntry, West Kootenay. Other exciting reports from all over the country have been handed in by American mining experts, who are flocking to the province. This news has germinated a gold fever which has become epidemic and is break- ing out in uniikely places. 1 all the cities of British Columbia the greatest excitement prevails over the Lulu Island gold affair, and British Columbians have simply lost their heads about one of the most ridiculous mining propositions ever presented to an unsophisticated public. inafew days a big bubble will burst, and the Provincial Government, who are selling claims as fast as they can hand them out, will be the only beneficiaries. It is, nowever, beyond dispute that the country is on the eve of a gigantic mining boom, and American capitalists are now scattered all over the vast mining area of British Columbia eagerly buying up all the best propositions. —_— NEW SERVICE AT PASADENA. Trains Running on a Changed Schedule to Los Angeles. PASADENA, Car., Oct. 30.—The South- ern Pacitic Railroad Company inaugurated its new and regular service this morning, and trains have been running throughout the day on nearly scheduled time. Great surprise has been expressed on all sides and mach gossip was current upon the streets over the fact that the rate of the Southern Pacific from Pasadena to Los Angeles was placed at 25 cents and round- (rle fares at 45 cents. - N. Todd, the local agent, presumed that this unexpected rate is merely a temporary arrangement which will hold for a day or two only, and that it is neces- sitated by some legal technecality which obliges the company to run at this rate a certain number of trips. When the ex1- gencies of the law have been complied with it is understood the Southern Pacific will meet all or any cut rates. PROSPERITY OF A CHURCH, San Jose Congregationalists Cele- brate Their Twenty-Fifth Annual. Increased Membership in All Branches. The New Officers Are Elected.

SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 30.—The charge of burglary against Jim Chuen, the Chi- nese cook who was suspected of stealing $3000 worth of diamonds from the residence of I'. 1. Spencer, then burning the house, to hide the theft, was to-day dismissed on motion of District Attorney Herrington, a conviction seeming impossible. Chuen had been tried once and the jury dis- agreed. Tt had been previously arranged that Chuen would consent to deporta- tion, and Deputy Sheriff Gardner, who had been deputized by Marshal Baldwin, took him tc San Francisco this afternoon, where he will be put aboard a Chinese steamer. Chuen is an ex-convict, having served s term in San Quentin for burg- lary. The Spencer jewels have never been found. — SAN J FIREBUGS. Quaker Church and an Electrical Works Burned by Incendiaries. SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 30.—The Friends’ Church, on Stockton avenue, near the Ala- meda, was destroyed by fire about 2 o’clock this morning. The electrical works of A. F. Pieper next to the church was also burned. The loss to the Quaker church and contents will amount to $1800, with but little insurance. Mr. Pieper’s loss is estimated at $300, . The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. There have been several fires of incendiary origin in that vicinity of late, and a vigorous search will be made for the firebug. % e Sneaked the Millinery. SAN JOSE, CAL., Oct. 30.—Sneakthieves stole & basket containing $200 worth of milinery goods from Mrs. A. E. Ulch, at the broad-gauge depot, this morning. Mrs. Ulch, who owns a store at Ceres, Stanis- laus County, en route to Salinas to open a branch store, stopped in this city to visit her daughter.

OLD JIM'S GRANDCHILD. Stolen by Worthless Redskins and Carried Away Into the Mountains. STRAPPED TO A HORSE'S BACK. When Recovered, the Little One Was in a Starved and Dying Condition. SPOKANE, Wasn., Oct. 30.— Deputy United States Marshal Sam Vinson, who has just returned from Colville reserva- tion, brings details of the outrage upon the 12-year-old girl abducted by reserva- tian Indians and left to die, strapped to the back of a cayuse, a meager account of whose sufferings was published in THE CArL of to-day. Down near the mouth of San Poil River lives an old Indian, who is known by the whites for miles around as a peaceful old man, who, by his energy and saving, has accumulated quite a neat sum. ‘With him lives his little granddaughter, a very neat Indian girl with some white blood, who has acquired an education in English, and is well thought of by every one. She has always been very good to the old man and she was his idol. A short time ago a couple of worthless Indians came down from Okanogan, and for some time loafed around old Indian Jim’s place. They seemed to have no par- ticular business. A numbers of miners working there suspected that their visit was for no good. One evening Mary, the little girl, was sent out after cattle and did not return. A search revealed the fact that she had been taken by these Indians. A party was at once organized and started to folow. The trail led over the mountains and through the wildest parts of the reservation. Then it was lost altogether and the men returned. A few days ago an old Indian woman, who had for a timelived down on the San Poil, saw Mary with these Indians and knew that she did not belong to them. When they found that she knew Mary they left her and immediately started for the moun- tains again. . The story told by the child was horrible. Her captors knew that if they let her free she would go back to her grandiather and tell the story of her wrongs, so they strapped her to a horse and took her along. Her sufferings were terrible. She refused to touch food offered by them un- til nearly starved to death. For two weeks she was kept in this manner, and her health is so broken down that it is feared the child cannot recover. Although every effort is being made by the United States Marshal, assisted by the Indian police, the offenders have not yet been brought to justice, and it is feared they have escaped across the line into British Columbia. If captured the Indians say the Government will be spared the ex- pense of bringing them to Spokane for trial, and a limb of a tree and a little rope will soon end the lives of such miserable crea- tures. The excitement among the Indians is very high. NO ABJUSTHIENT OF BHTES Trans-Missouri Freight Rate As- sociation Closed at Salt Lake. Eastern Prejudice Said to Be the Cause of the Failure to Do Busi- ness. SALT LAKE, Uram, Oct. 30.—The con- ference of the Trans-Missouri Freight Rate Association came to a close to-day. Abso- lutely nothing was done inthe adjustment of the differences in rates of the Southern Pacific and Eastern lines. The thought of the Sunset line seemed to be the bugbear which prevented the Eastern lines from granting any concessions to California job- bers. At the meéting to-day the Southern Pa- cific was offered 80 per cent as its rate ba- sis. This means in plain words that if the Missouri-Utah rate on a certain class of goods is §1 the California-Utah rate will be 80 cents. This was refused by the South- ern Pacific, which holds out for 70 per cent. A resolution was introduced to the ei- fect that, as many of the roads were not represented, the meeting be adjourned to November 19, the date of the next regular meeting of the association. Great disappointment is felt here at the inability of the roads to come to an agree- ment. The jobbing interests of both California and Utah were at stake, but nothing was done_to alter the sitnation. Traffic Man- ager W. B. Curtis of the San Francisco Association, William Sproule and D. R. Gray of the Southern Pacific both worked to overcome Eastern prejudices relating to_the Pacific Coast. Mr. Curtis was seen to-night at the Knutsford and said to Tme CALL cor- respondent: ‘‘The representatives of Eastern lines did not understand the grav- ity of the situation, noz was such a repre- sentation present as the case warranted, which was to me a ereat disappointment. Beveral times I endeavored to getan ex- pression from Eastern representatives as to their standing in_the rate matter, but signally failed each time. “I am well satisfied with the action taken by the Southern Pacific. It wasap- Farently the only line attending the con- erence proverly ec&ui&)ped for decisive ac- tion. It had ‘a definite proposition to make, the one being fathered by the TIraffic Assocfatien of San Francisco, and made it, insisting on its being recognized. “This the others failed to do, either from fear of consequences of open expression or their inability to cope with the situation. It is a foregone conclusion that the South- ern Pacific will put into Ogden a tariff based on the prmciFle that the California rate to Utah shall be the same as the Eastern commercial-center rate to the same point. “I bave yet to find any one who denies the justice of this rate to the territory, and in my judgment the culmination will be that San Francisco will reach the coveted territory on the desired basis. I have still some missionary work to do here, but will return to San Francisco on Monday.” —— Spirit Wheels in Her Bonnet. Mrs. Wheeler, a spiritualist medium, was examined by a commission to-day and declared insane. Her mania consists in a delusion that she is about to die, and she therefore refuses food, having eaten noth- iug since Friday.

The primal cause of the strike, if it may | be so termed, is the fact that day befora .‘ yesterday one of the prisoners was hit in | the eye with a small fragment of flying | stone chip, and it is believed that the eye- sight has been permanently destroyed. The injured man, James Curren, was re moved to the County Hospital for treats ment. This morning after the prisoners had been released from their cells and ha eaten their breakfast they informed Jnih‘: Beckley that they had made up thei minds to absolutély refuse to break an more rock unless wire spectacles we: forthcoming. Sheriff Johnson was notifie and personally appealed to the prisoners t abandon the stand they had assumed an Teturn to the rock-crushing business. ‘But they stood their ground, and, it i claimed, referred the official to a locality which, if all reports be true, possesses hotter climate than even Fort Yuma. This roused the Sheriff’s ire and he o dered the men returned to their cells t subsist on plain bread and cold water. I is claimed that even this scant meal wa not served out to-day in the hope that th men would regard the matter in a mor sensible light to-morrow.. One of th prisoners when interviewed as to th cause of the strike said: “James Curren had an eye knocked out! and when we said it was specs we wanted | they locked us up on water and bread, anc devil a sup or bite of aither have we go the whole day.” In the meantime the night force hac | been increased, and extra precautions wil be taxen until the insurrection 1s quelled, | Santa Barbara’s Editorial War. | BANTA BARBARA, CaL., Oct. 30.— | Frank Sands and George P.
