FRANCISCO CALL, WED DAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1895. PACIFIC COAST HEWS. Mrs. Mooney’s Coup d'Etat at Los Angeles Ends in Disaster. LADY DOUGLAS BOUNCED. Her Mother Ejected From a Theater by Manager Frawley. HE IS TIRED OF NOBILITY.| ““A Case of Too Much Mother-in-Law— Hang Mothers-in-Law!” Com- ments His Lordship. LOS ANGE Moor ES, CAL, Nov. 12.—Mrs. | the distant relative of the Queens- | ze, figured conjointly with | in a one-act curtain- | raiser ‘at the Burbank Theater to-| night. The perfo was short and | the traditional ethics of stage etiquette | were at times forgotten, but there cast | into it that realism which none but fin- | ished actors can attain. There was no for- getting of lines, none of those embar- rassing pauses which sometimes occur | in stage conversation. In fact, from the time Lady Douglas’ mater familias made her debut the atmosphere was full of words, and when she made her depart- ure the acoustic properties of the play: house were resonant with mighty chunks of language. When “me Lud’s” mother-in-law | emerged from the door leading to the| dressing-room of the theater she was ac- companied by her daughter; and Lady Douglas had made her last apearance under | Frawley’s management. The theatrical autocrat was left gnashing his teeth, and le he gnashed he gave vent to an un- plimentary opinion of mothers-in-law | in general and Lord Douglas’ persecutor | in particular. Mrs. Mooney arrived this afternoon from San Francisco, and this evening, un- nown to the management, made her back of the scenes to Lady Douglas’ | dressing-room. When the fact was con- veyed to Mr. Frawley he insisted on her theater. Then the pyro- | inies were touched off. Lady Douglas resented Frawley's treatmeht, . quickly | dressed and left the theater with her other. Manager Frawley, when seen | ter the theater, said Lady Douglas has, by ber hasty action evening, broken her contract, and her agement with me is at an end. 1 knew | her mother was looking for Lord Douglas | to make trouble, and as I have al-| lowed him the freedom of the stage and | | Clerk Eastman, who gave the measu the employes, but there will be little left to satisfy the $14,000 claims of the First National Bank and other creditors. S GUITED BY FLAMES. Carelessness in Using a Coal-0il Stove Causes a Serious Fire. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov. 12.—Care- lessness in using a coal-oil stove caused a §$2000 loss in the building at 513-515 South Broadway this afternoon. The Fire De- partment reached the scene quickly, but the frame annex in the rear o} the “brick building where the fire started was too far burned to be saved. Mrs. Patterson, the andlady, lost most of her household ef- fects. Other occupants of the second 'y, among whom were Mrs. Glascoe, barcly escaped losing everything. The buildings burned were the property of Mrs. John Byrne. Dark for the Milkmen. LOS ANGELES, Car., November 12— Los Angeles is following San Francisco very diligently on the milk question. Health Officer Steddom and Milk In- spactor Blackington are engaged in mak- ing out complaints for the arrest of dairy- men and milk dealers who are known to have violated the ordinance prohibiting the sale of adulterated milk. The war- rants may not be issued for several days. They would have been out yesterday but for the reason that it is a bigger job than the Health Officer anticipated. el e e Denied a New Zrial. LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 12.—The motion for a new trial in the Willard case was denied this forenoon bv Judge Well- born in the United States District Conrt, and the little “Beanty Wonder,” as well as her two male accomplices, will be sen- tenced to-morrow morning at 9:25 o’clock. The Willards were convicted of fleecing sundry Californians by receiving money for the agency for a worthless complexion wash. BANDIT BRADYS TRIAL, The Last of the Prosecution’s Witnesses Examined at Marysville. Fireman Nettercott, Called by the Defense, Gives Testimony Favo:- able to the Accused. MARYSVILLE, Carn, Nov. 12.—The prosecution of the Brady case has closed, and the defense of the young man com- menced. It was 4:15 o’clock this after- noon when the last witness of the many who have been piling up evidence for the people stepped from the stand, and Dis- | trict Attorney McDaniels announced that the case of the people would rest. There was nothing particularly interesting or dramatic about the day’s proceedings. The most of the time was taken up in the | reading of the recorded conversation be- tween Brady and the Sacramento officers on the day of his arrest. The first witness of the day was Deputy ments of Attorneys Hitcheock, Carlin a McDaniel, as taken in the county height- measurer. Alexander McDonald, the officer who captured Brady, then zave the details of the capture. He was followed by W.A. Johnston of Sacramento, who sted him in the arrest and who corro- s : borated him on the stand. Miss Edith expected him to put in an apoearance, | Keefe, who acted as waitress at the I desired to prevent any diS;:raccfulj)(ecnnnieg’ House in this city at the time scene and refused to allow Mrs. | Brady stopped there just before the rob- Mooney to remain back of the cur. | bery, testified that she saw him there on tain.

She has not been a success, any- | way, financially or artistically.” Lady Douglas, who occupies a suite at the Livingston, was very reticent about | the affair. “Mr. Frawley,” said she, “would not | w my mother to remain, and 1 told | where she was not welcome I would not stay. One can’t go back on one's| mother, you know, and so I just quit— that's all there is to it.” Lord Douglas was somewhat more em- sall a case of too much mother-in- | said he. “We were getting along | ously until she put inan appearance. | lam goingto quit the country. take my | wife with me and lead a quiet Iife. I'm sick of the publicity and notoriety, and— oh, hang mothers-in-law !”’ Lady Douglas has not been popular with | the Frawley Company, the individual | members of which, when interviewed to- | night, expressed satisfaction and even de- 11ght tnat she was no more to appear with | them. Mr. Frawley to-night canceled all | advertising and dates arranged for her, and the balance of the engagement at the Burbank will be without nobility as a star attraction. Mrs. Mooney is not occupying apart- ments in the same house with her daugh- | ter, but is stopping at a downtown hotel. s said that Lord Douglas has put under police protection, and developments of a little more character are looked forward to.

Life-Insurance Money a Subject of Con- tention in Court, S, Cav., Nov. 12.—John A. administrator of the estate of ! rerle, deceased, has brought suit against Francis X. Eberle, a brother of the deceased, to recover $3969 upon an insur- ance policy in the Manhattan Life Insur- ance Company. Brother Francis declares that John assigned to him one of three $7000 policies he had in the company, and be brought suit against the company to | recover the money. The company -paiul Francis the amount. but it develops now | that the suit was brought and the money paid on the wrong-numbered policy. The company still holds the money due on the other_policies, on one of which Ad. ministrator Sobrioin will bring suit. The present action is to recover the money mistakingly paid to Francis, Sy FEW ASSETS IN SIGHT. Mead-Wright Company Failure Proves a Disastrous One. . LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 12.—The failure of the Mead-Wright Company looks worse as the matter is investigated. It now appears a reasonable certainty that the wembers of the firm have left the city to evade their creditors. Their total lia- bilities are estimated at about $20,000, and there are only a few thousand dollars worth of assets in sight. Enough will be realized to pay off the preferred claims of | d The special incident of the day occurred when Deputy Sheriff Crane of this county took the stand and stated that Brady had worn braces during two_or three days of the trial 1n order to hold back the shoul- ders that have been used as a means of identification because of their stooped con- dition. In a flash Mr. Carlin turned to his client and asked him to remove his coat and vest. Brady did so. He wore suspenders. After Mr. Crane left the stand Deputy Sheriff Schmitts of Sacramento told of the pursuit of Brady in order to prove flight. Then came Stenographer Doane, who read from shorthand notes all that was said during the conversation between Brady and the officers in the Sacramento jail on the day of his arrest. The details of this {on\*crsation have been published in Tre JALL. Mrs. Ann Doherty, who keeps alodging- house jon K street, in Sacramento, said Brady was not at her house on the night of the robbery, and the cross-examination failed to change her story, which was in- tended to refute a portion of Brady's conversation with the officers of Sacra- mento when he claimed he had stopped at this woman’s house on the night of the robbery. S. Lewelk, the proprietor of the' United States Hotel of this city, was the last wit- ness for the people. He said he did not think Brady was the man who was with Browning when the latter stopped at his house on March 24. The prosecution announced that it | rested and the defense waived the opening statement. Brady’s first witness was Artbur Nettercott, the fireman of the train that was held up. Nettercott said the smallest robber had him in charge, and he thought the robber was 2 smaller man than Brady. The prisoner stood up for exhibition, and wit- ness declared that Brady was a larger man { than the small robber. "On cross-examina- | tion Nettercott corroborated the testimony | of other witnesses relative to the stoop of the shoulders of the smaller robben eSSy Mayne Ready to Don Stripes. LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 12.—Clifton E. Mayne, who was convicted yesterday upon a charge brought by friends of Della Shipton, wants no appeal. This is what he toid a jaller this morning. He is will- ing and ready to serve his sentence, and wants no further experiences in the courts. e SODAVILLE BURGLARY. Safe-Orackers Loot the Strongbox of the Village Postoffice. ALBANY, Oz., Nov. 12.—A special from Lebanon says: News has just been brought to this city by Stage-driver Flory that the postoftice at Sodaville was robbed early this morning. The safe was blown open and about $100 in money secured. Sixty dollars of this was postoffice money. There is no clew to the identity of the robbers. A woman living near the post- office heard a noise in R. W. Fisher’s store, where the postofliee is located, which was kept up from 1 o’clock until_about 3 or 4 o’clock, but thought it was Mr. Fisher and did not raise any alarm. B e e LAKE WHaAICOM ACCIDENT. A Sawmill Employe’s Head Split by a Flying Sww. NEW WHATCOM, WasnH.,, Nov. 12.— Elmer §mith, a young man 21 years of age, met with a terrible and undoubtedly fatal accident at Cook’s shingle mill, Lakxe Whatcom, this morning. When he had begun his day’s work as a kneebolter, the saw became detached and, flying upward, cut off diagonally the entire left side of his hLead, including one eye and an ear. He was brought home here shortly before noon, still alive and conscious, but death 1s momentarily expected. ke oo Sad Accident at Riggs. CHICO, Car., Nov. 12.—Mrs. Dogan, 70 years of age, was the victim of a fatal acci- dent yesterday. As she was crossing the street she was run over and knocked down by ateam of horses attached to a buggy. The pole of the vehicle struck her upon the bead and the horses trod upon her. When she was picked up she was unconscious and died this morning. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Stockton Likely to Be the Terminus of Another Railroad. PLANS OF ITS BACKERS. The Proposed Line to Connect With Some Road Spanning the Continent. QUIETLY PAVING THE WAY. Ex-Surveyor-General Willey Carrying On the Negotiations of the Company. STOCKTON, CaL., Nov. 12. — That Stocktan isto have a fourth new railroad is reasonably certain, and that the people know little or nothing of its projectors or itsroute is equaily certain. For several weeks past ex-Surveyor-General H. I. Wil- ley has made periodical trips to this city, and has been in consultation with a local firm of lawyers. To-day in an interview with a CALL correspondent he stated that it could be authoritatively announced that another ,new railroad would be built through this section at an early date. ‘“This is no paper road,” said Mr. Willey, “and while I am not at liberty to-day to divulge the names of the capitalists I represent nor the route over which the new line is to be built, I will say that it will be one of the most important lines in the State of Califor: This value may not be in the length of the road, but in the fact that it will furnish a valuable connec- tion for any transcontinental railroad de- siring an entrance into the State.” Will one of the terminals be near Beck- with Pass?”’ was asked. “That question I am not prepared to answer to-day, but I will supplement my former statement by saying that the prop- erty will be, if offered for sale, of immense | value to any old or new line headed for the ' bay country. As to the financial backing of the company it may be stated that six of the most prominent capitalists in the State are interestsd. They have secured all of the financial needed, in addition to their own resources, from parties out- side the State.” “Will the line be built by the way of Oakland ?” “You must excuse me on that point. Our company is entirely independent of any other corporation in existence. { The matter can no longer be called a scheme; it had its inception more than six months ago, and to-day only a few matters remain to be disposed of before incorporating. The preliminary surveys may be started within thirty days. If I | were to speak of our intended route, com- plications might arise which would seri- ously embarrass the speedy completion of the line.” old San Francisco and Salt Lake scheme ?” was asked. *“In answer to that I can only say that it is no nmew proposition, but has been considered and discussed by the capitalists who are behind it. Within a few days the entire matter will be made public, and I am certain that it will meet with the approbation of every public-spirited man in the State.” Mr. Willey’s guarded statements are re- rarded by Stocktonians as evidence that his railroad, whatever it may be, is bona fide. Itis not thought to have any con- nection with any of the talked-of lines from Oakland, but if it has it must be the recently proposed Oakland and Great Eastern. SPOKE COUNTYROLSED Tales of Mismanagement and Cruelty at the Spangle Poor Farm. Superintendent Pittam Has Been Ar- rested and an Investigation Will Be Made. SPOKANE, Wasn., Nov. 12. — The Spokesman-Review will to-morrow publish an account of mismanagement and cruelty at the county poorhouse. Tc-night two are in the city, having been thrown out of the voorhouse, after being assaulted. They walked to the city, a distance of sixteen miles. They left the poor farm yesterday morning, and did not reach here until to- day, having been during that time without food or shelter. Last night they huddled around a little campfire in the woods, and spent a night of suffering and pain. These unfortunates tell revolting tales of cruelty to the inmates. At the poor farm is a negro attendant, who is a most owerfully built fellow, and this nesro Beuls the inmates without provocation. It is alleged that the inmates are fed upon the very poorest food that can be procured. Superintendent Pittam of the poor farm has been arrested at Spangle and was to- day bound over to the Superior Court. The_ people have demanded a prompt in- vestigation of the matter, which will no doubt be taken up at once. =S —— e AGNEWS ASYLUM TRUSTEES. Frank H. Gould Has Been Appointed by Goy- ernor Budd—Edward White 1o Be Named. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 12.—F. H. Gould has been appointed a member of the board of directors of the Agnews Asy- lum, and it is almost certain that Xd White of Watsonville will be one of his associates on the board. SAN JOSE, Cav., Nov. 12.—The meeting of the trustees of Agnews Asylum, to be held to-morrow, is of more than usual in- terest, from the fact that this is the time for the annual reorganization of the board, the election of officers, appointment of the employes, ete. he np%ointments of three of the trus- tees—H. V. Morehouse of 8an Jose, John T. Porier of Watsonville and W. W. Montague of San Francisco—expired on October 28, Isaac Upham of San Fran- cisco and O. A. Haie of San Jose are the holdovers. Ex-Mayor Samuel N. Rucker returned to-night from Stockton, where he, with others from San Jose and elsewhere, were in consultation with Governor Budd in re- gard to trustee appoinuments. In an in- terview Mr. Rucker said: ‘“There are more than fifty names men- tioned for appointment to the three va- cancies in the board of trustees. With all ‘‘Has the road any connection with the | old men, 50 old that they can hardly walk, | the aspirants there is now practically but one vacancy, for two of the appoimntees have alreadv been decided upon. Gov- ernor Budd has made a statement to that effect without reserve, and their appoint- ments may be taken as settled. Their names are Frank H. Gould; chair- man of the State Democratic Cen- tral Committe, and BEdward White of Watsonville, a brother of United States Senator Stephen M. White. As to whom the Governor will appoint for the third man, it is uncertain. County Assessor Spit- zer may be appointed, but there are several other men whose chances are just as favor- able. There 1s a possibility also that Governor Budd will appoint’a woman as one of the asylum trustees, just as he did on the Board of Normal School Direetors. The Governor, in fact, so intimated to- day.” e IDENTIFIES KOVALEV. George H. Jost Positive That He Saw the Exile Hanging About the Home of the Webers. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 12.—All day long the prosecution in the Ivan Kovalevy case has been forging link after link in the long chain of circumstantial evidence that will apparently brand him as one of the participants in the brutal murder of Weber and his aged wife. Kovalev's attorneys are making a gallant fight for his life, against the longest kind of odds, and are endeavoring to bring forward every miti- gating circumstance that may be in the prisoner’s favor. But Captain Lees states that never, in his long years of experience in criminal ters, has he seen a more complete case inst a prisoner than that against Ivan Kovalev. The day was occupied in examining various witnesses, who described the iden- tification of the stolen clothing of the mur- dered man in San Francisco, and sundry incidents of the search for evidence-around the murdered couple’s residence. George H. Jost positively identified Ko- vaiey as the man he had seen at the Weber residence on the evening of the murder. He said his suspicions were aroused by the man’s peculiar actions, and he had taken such particular notice of Kovalev that it i ibility to make any mistake v WEDDED TO PRISON LIFE. Mrs. Werner, a San Quentin ¢ Lifer,” Objects to an Appeal in Her Case. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Nov. 12.—What is cenceded to be one of the most remarkable events in judicial history oceurred before the session of the Supreme Court to-day, when Deputy Attorney-General Charles M. Post appeared and_stated that Attorney- General Fitzgerald had received a telegram from Mrs. Werner, who is serving a_term of life imprisonment in San Quentin for the murder of her husband, in which she requested that theappeal for a new trial in ch had been filed by her at- ey, be dismissed. She gave as her reason that she preferred to stay in prison all her life rather than undergo another trial. Pursuant to her request the appeal was dism’ A DUEL 0 THE DEATH | Rancher Blunt Kills a Mexican in the Mountains East of Fresno. They Quarrel Over a Game of Cards and Settle the Dispute With Revolvers. FRESNO, CaL., Nov. 12.—A Mexican, whose name is unknown, was shot and killed at Works’ saloon in the mountains fifty miles east of this city by D. M. Blunt at noon yesterday. The men were playing | cards in'a saloon, and Blunt caught the | Mexican cheating. When accused by Blunt, the Mexican callea him a liar. upon the latter drew a pistol and aimed at Blunt. Just as he fired a bystander struck the pistol upward, and the bullet lodzed in the ceiline. Blunt dropped to the floor and crawled behind the bar, where he found a pistol. The Mexican was put out of the saloon by the proprietor and it was thought that he had left the place. Later, Blunt ste{;pod out of the door and was greeted by a_bullet whistling past his ears. The Mexican had been in waiting for him out- side. Blunt drew his pistol and returned the fire, but missed. The Mexican then ran behind a wagon standing near, and from this point of vantage again opened fire, with only his head ard shoulders exposed. Blunt re- mained in the open ground and returned the fire with deliberate aim. After several shots had been exchanged the Mexican received a bullet in the forehead, killing him instantly. Blunt is a rancher living near the scene of the shooting. The dead Mexican’s parents live in Hanford. On Sunday evening the Mexican had a row with an Indian at the saloon and drew his ever ready pistol. The Indian had a rifle, with which be clubbed the Mexican into in- sensibility. An inquest was held by Coroner Long to- day, and it was decided to Jay Blunt’s case before the Grand Jury, which is in session. Blunt is in this city ready to surrender himselif. SANTA ROSA TEST CASE An Action That May Cause the Withdrawal of County Funds From Banks. Treasurer Woodward Must Show Cause Why He Did Not Produce All Moneys to Be Counted. SANTA ROSA, CArL., Nov. 12—A suit, the result of which involves the disposition of all county money in the State, was started here this afternocon. At the in- stance of District Attorney Seawell Judge Daingerfield issued a writ citing County Treasurer Woodward to appear in court on Tuesday to show cause why he did not produce all the money in his when the County Examiners callea for a count of it a few days ago. It has been the custom here for many years for the treasurer to deposit the bulk of the county funds with the banks of the couuty. Woodward followed the usual course, taking from the bankers special deposit certificates, sEecxfigd by the law, as he interprets it. The District Attorney takes the grounds that all money must be actually exhibited when the examiners call for a count of the funds, and the suit is brought to get a judicial decision of the question. Itis probable that the case will be appeaied to the Supreme Court, no matter which way the Superior Court decides. ) Should the courts construe the law ac- cording to the District Attorney’s inter- pretation, it will work a great hardship all over the étate as it would cause all county moneys to be {ocked up and withheld from circulation. —_—— Perished in the Straits of Fuca. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 12.—The body of Fred Mallandaine a well-known young man of this city, was found to-day adrift in a boat in the Straits of Fuca. Mallan- daine had been duck hunting for several days. Appearances indicate that he died from exposure. | Blunt slapped the Mexican’s face, where-| ossession | PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Constable Heffren of Ione the Victim of a Boy's Waywardness. A BRAVE MAN’S SUICIDE. Heartbroken Because He Was Compelled to Put His Son Into Prison. ENDED LIFE WITH A BULLET. Tragic Death of an Officer Feared by Desperadoes of the Mountain Counties. IONE, CAL., Nov. 12.—The waywardness of his son led Constable Michael Heffren to send a bullet through his brain to-day. TRe tragedy occurred at the officer’s home, shortly after 9 o’clock. Following the re- portof a pistol discharge in the direction of his residence Mrs. Heffren ran out upon the street and frantically cried for assist- ance. Neighbors hastened to her aid and followed her into the house, where Hef- fren’s body was found stretched upon the floor, a bullet wound in his temple. He lingered several hours and rezained con- sciousness only long enough to gasp out the cause of his act. Heffren had been Constable of this township for thirteen years, and during that time earned the reputation of being a man utterly devoid of fear. He captured and jailed many of the most desperate men who infested the mountain counties. But the lion-hearted officer could not with- stand the shock of having to arrest for in- toxication the boy to whom he was de- voted and of learning later of the scape- | grace’s escape, upon a stolen horse, from the jail in which he had been confined. Maro Heffren isa young man who has just attained his majority. On Sunday night he appeared on the streets in an in- toxicated condition riding a horse at breakneck speed. His father, the Con- stable, alter taking the horse from him, tried to lead the boy home, but he re- sisted. Then the duty of an officer over- came the feelings of a parent and Maro was lodged in jail. During the night he dug through the brick wall of the prison, took a horse belonging to the Constable, and left town. Yesterday Constable Heffren spoke to many old friends about the affair and ap- peared to be very despondent. Bu ness cares also harassed him greatly. Last Monday he awoke his wife and told her he believed he was crazy. His death is mourned by the entire community. His widow was his second wife. He mar- ried her only a few months ago. CARSON MINT CASE. General Clarke Ouilines the Evidence to Be Produced Against Suspect Heney. CARSON, Nev., Nov. 12.—The trial proper of James Heney, the mint suspect, began this morning. General Clarke pre- sented the case of the prosecution to the jury, stating that the indictment contained three distinct counts. In one the United States accuses James Heney of stealing irom the mint on June 23, 1893, gold metal to the value of $23,000. In the second | count the defendant is accused of stealing on June 23, 1893, from E. B. Zabriskie, the melter and refiner of the mint, $23,000 of gold metal. The third count charges that on June 23, 1893, the defendant embezzled from the refinery in which he was em- loyed in the capacity of silver dissolver 23,000. The first two counts charged the defendant with larceny and the third with embezzlement. General Clarke exElnined the workings of the mint and the manner in which Heney could have taken the bullion, he having held the position of silver dissolver in the meiter and refiner’'s department. Heney had charge of the gold smelting works and therefore had constant access to the tubs containing granulations and to the keys with which they were locked. General Clarke said the State would have witnesses to prove that Heney arranged to have the gold granulations melted into bars at the reduction works in Reno in August, 1893, Heney stating that the granulations came from a mine in Silver City. Several unimportant witnesses called and explained the routine work of the mint. The trial of John T. Jones, another suspect, is set for Thursday, No- vember 21. S, FREED FROM PORTLAND’S JAIL. Supreme Court Decision Acquitting a Convicted Jury-Briber. PORTLAND, Ogr., Nov. 12.—John A. Carr, a well-known capitalist and ex- broker of this city, convicted of bribing a jury and sentenced to five years’ imprison- ment, is practically a free man to-day, the Supreme Court at Salem having handed down a decision which virtually acquits him. The lower court is found to be in error, and the opinion disposes of the case for all time. The Carr case is the only one of jury- bribing that has resulted in a conviction in Multnomah County. A tender of money | was alleged to have been made by the BRAIN FOODS. A Delusion and a Snare. It is strange that so many brain-workers and thinkers—people who might be ex- pected to be not easily imposed upon— throw away their money oa so-called “brain foods” and ‘‘brain invigorators’'— as if that most intricate and mysterious or- an could be ‘“fed”’ or affected in such a irect way. It is preposterous! 3 The condition of the brain—its capacity for work—depends on the genemldphys\cal condition — particularly of the digestion system, which includes a long chain of or- gans and functions. & The sedentary habits of brain-workers debilitate this machinery of nutrition. Nature needs assistance—a gentle, healthy stimulant. Peruvian Bitters are far and away above anything ever offered for this purpose. Their beneficial effects are simply wonder- ful. Their great efficacy lies in the com- bination—the world-famous Peruvian Bark with other valuable herbs in fine old Cali- fornia Brandy. Peruvian Bitters are the greatest of tonics; gently stimulating di- estion without creating a morbid appetite for stimulants; toning up the entire sys- tem, quickening all vital functions, driv- ing out malarial poisons, and Ymducing such a physical condition that all faculties are at their best and health is unaffected by tne ordinary irregularities, exposures and overwork that even the most careful e h o, Fan Framatios: Al Grugs ACK , San dealers. gists and were | defendant to Juror Huntington, through the juror’s wife.

Naval Officers to Participate in a Dem- onstration Upon Its Completion. SEATTLE, Wasn., Nov. 12—The Gov- ernment dock at Port Orchard will be com- pleted this week. It is expected that the | great gate will be placed into position on Thursday, and this will be the last work done on the dock. Dredging for the chan- | nel leading from the sound to the entrance to the drydock is well under way, though | this is not a part of the original contract. Messrs. Byron, Barlow & Co. are the build- i ers. It is probable that the officers of the flag- ship Philadelphia and Rear Admiral R. A.

Ata late hour Jailer Newcomer undertook to lock the prisoners in their cells for the night. When he came to the last cell the inmates broke open the door, caught and bound the jailer, took his keys, unlocked the doors for the other prisoners and all started off. In the hall the escapes encountered Sheriff Lathrum and a deputy. Lathrum fired his revolver and one of the quintet surrendered. The others—Frank Kelley, Thomas Elliott, William Wagner and Andrew Reidt—made their escape through the front door of the courthouse. Reidt was captured this morning while asleep in a strawstack. When surprised he fought desperately, but was overpowered.

UKIAH, Cavn, Nov. 12.—In the case of H. T. Fairbanks vs. George E. White et al., set for trial to-day, a motion to change the place of trial of the case from Mendocino County to the City and County of San Francisco was interposed, and the matter was before the court all day. Walter H. Linforth and H. C. McPike, on behalf of | Wilson T. Smith, receiver of the estate of the ‘“cattle king,” presented and argued the motion for a change of venue. It was opposed by Plaintiff Fairbanks, repre- sented by Edward Lynch, and the defend- ants, George E. White, J. M. Costigan, the Petaluma Savings Bank and Wilson T. Smith as receiver. White was represented by Seawell & Pemberton, Costigan by T. L. Caribus and Henley & Costelld, and the | Petaluma Savings Bank by ex-Congress- man Thomas J. Geary. After the taking of considerable testi- mony and a long and tedious argnment the court denied the motion for a change of venue. Thirty days was granted the plaintiff in which to prepare a bill of exceptions. ground the plaintiff relied on in seeking to haye the trial of this case taken to San Francisco was that the convenience of witnesses would be subserved thereby. This action is one brought by Fairbanks to recover $4200 loaned to White in order to enable White to pay the alimony due Mrs. White. The trial of the case will occur on November 26. The outcome of the suit means much to both the ‘“cattle king” and Mrs. White by reason of the fact that on this matter rests the alimony proceedings of the latter. Mrs. White has recovered judgment for $100,000 alimony and costs in the case of George E. White vs. Frankie White. ACQUITTED AT VICTORIA. Schooner Marvin Not Sustained. VICTORIA, B.
