Unfortunate Mistake of Two Brainy but Thirsty Braves of Del Norte County. The noble red man of Del Norte County is a genius in some ways, but two representatives of his race have come 10 grief through mere excess of smartness. They wanted & good longdrink of beer— one measured by gallons, and not by small —and their attempt to secure the successful, has Worse plast same, though new and landed them behind prison bars. than that, the Supreme Court announces that they shall stay there. It was during the bot days of last spring that Henry James and W. H. Miiler, two ; educated red men, decided that, come W t may, they m have some of 1e foaming drink of the white man. It strictly against the law to sell liquor of kina, even the insidious beer, to the ans, but the two seekers after refresh- nt evolved a plan by which that law dden. Between them, with considerable labor and great pains, they constructed this order on the department of malt liquors in the store of Gottlob Hess and Frank Comins: March 20, 1895. Please deliver to bearer 5 gals. beer and oblige FRANK COUSHES, This order the two domesticated sons of the forest took to Hess, who hon- ored it at once without noticing the improved method of spelling his name his partner had adopted. The keg thus = obtained was caried away into a seciuded old shanty, and the two d their thirst untila rainbow arew upon their tongunes and their stomachs demanded something more sub- stantial than steam beer. It was in this predicament that the Coastable caught them, and when they awoke to consider the things of this world they were in pris- on for forging the order for the beer. The defense was that as liguor conid not be soid to Indiansthe two defendantscould not forge—even legally forge—an order,the mere compliance with which would be a crime on the part of the person thus brav taste { was up at the i | lawyer's | however, that legally or not they had ob- tained something effervescent, and so they were convicted. The Supreme Court to which an appeal was taken went further. The order, it saia, was made out payabie to bearer, and in hands other than Indian would nave been an engine of fraud, con sequently the order was a forgery and the braves must pay the piper. They should have made it payable to themselves or toa brother-in-law or any one handy, but they were just smart enough to fall short. Anyway they had the beer and the keg was all of it ever recovered, but the braves of Del Norte will get a doctor’s prescrip- tion next time or drive the time-honored auger-hole through the wall of the house and the head of the keg, otherwise they will pay too much for carousal, even though the barkeeper puts up the beer. REV. A J. WELLS ACCEPTS. He Will Take Charge of the Second Unitarian Church. 3 Rev. A. J. Wells signified his acceptance of the call extended by the trustees of the Second Unitarian Church of this City by a telegram yesterday. The final step of the process of regularly installing him as pastor will be taken by the congregation’s ratifying the course of the trustees by vote. Mr. Wells, in case thisaction is taken, assume his charge on Sunday, the 8th The new pastor is said to be a worthy snccessor of the able men who have pre- ceded him in that charge. He is the immediate successor of Rev.Mr. and Mrs. Leslie W. Sprague, who are now in charge of the Unitarian Church of Chattanooga, Ten POPPER TO THE FRONT, Max Suddenly Bobs Up Again as One of the Junta Leaders. The Occidental People Will Let the New Primary Committee Take Care of Vacancies. The latest Junta news is that Max Pop- per is an anti-Buckley leader again. He adquarters in the Flood ouilding lagt night for the first time in three or four weeks, and he consulted with man after man in the back room, just like Gavin McNab. Popper started in in that active way when the pot be to boil, and then he quit as suddenly ght goes out, and attitude of a disinterested and somewhat weary speciator. Something made Max sick and he quit. His quitting was one of the quiet quarrels that have kept the combination feeling the internal need oi something like paregoric. Now, all at once, something bas been fixed up and Popper is a prominent Junta boss again. The cause of his disaffection was in some way closely connected with the prominent and controlling position in this combination of Rainey, Daggett and to all of whom he is a bitter ‘While he was out he kept a quiet | finger on the pulse of the situation througn | his friend Braunhart, but now here he is in, ready to aggressively fight for and Daggett, whom he likes like " The Buckleyites are forging actively 1in preparing for their regular prim- on January 4 and in strengthening and 'ving their position. In this opera- tion no tricks are being overlooked. That committee of twenty-five to en- gineer the primary election is being pre- pared by Chairman Rothschild in connec- tion with other leaders, and it will probably be announced to-day. Mr. Rothschild yesterday consulted with Judge Maguire about the composition of the | committee, and Mr. Maguire and his friends will be given extensive recognition ust with the inharmoni- ous situnation that Maguire may feel. This committee will take practical charge of the party machine as soon as appointed, and at the next meeting of the regular gen- eral committee, which will be called for | some night this week, it will have imvor- tant reports and recommendations to make to the general body. The Buckley forces are nothing if not | perfectiy orgamized, and one of their in- side organizations consists of two mem- bers of the general committee in each district, which was appointed mainly to ook after matters connected with the roll. At one of its frequent meetings at the { Occidental Club, held last night, the ques- tion of what to do with the vacancies caused by members staying too persistently | by the Rainey-McNab committee was dis- | cussed for an hour, togetier with means of winning over some of the rebels. It was at last decided to let the primary com- wmittce take charge of the matter of vacancies. Arrangements were also perfected to complete the stock of affidavits which will be ready to prove in the State convention, to the State Central Committee or to any- body else, that a majority of the regular committee were present last Friday night and ordered the primary for January 4, which will thus be the ‘‘regular” and only legal one and the one representing the Democratic party of San Francisco. Affi- davits will recite just who were present from each district, and chen it has been decided to get further affidavits from absent members, who will swear that though not at the meeting they approved the proceedings. It is claimed that these affidavits will show at least 275 members of the general committee to be with Buck- ley on the primary proposition. The Junta is trying to appear quiescent. The next meeting of the ‘‘side” generai committee is not talked about, and there is no gossip as to when it will occur. The com- mittee of fifty will this week complete the full roll of 450, and then die a natural death. “We are doing nothing now because | there is nothing to do,”” said Sam Braun- bart yesterday. ‘“We forced the fight, | got the other side where we wanted them, and now we are letting them have things their own way.” Zoioens “BINDERS” AT WAR. Chinese Take the Law Into Their Own Hands and Get Into Jail. Another highbinder war is impending in Chinatown. There was a slight outbreak yesterday morning. It was renewed last night on Dupont street, where some dozen “‘binders” attacked a single man who de- fended himself ably till help arrived. Sergeant Davis and his squad began zathering in the attacking highbinders without delay. put a full baker’ dozen of them behind the bars at the Cali- fornia-street station before 10 o’clock, and took from them nearly a bushel of long, murderous Colt’s revolvers, knives, razors, sharp-pointed scissors and other imple- | ments of warfare. The men belonged to the Wah Hing and Sai On tongs and are members of the Sam Yup Company. The troutle was over some hard swearing in a recent case in the Superior Court, in which a prisoner gainea his acquittal contrary to the desires of the Sam Ynp's binders, who, it is claimed, are now trying to get even with the offending witnesses. e — Dockery Visits Restaurants. Milk Inspector Dockery is temporarily follow- ing a new tack. He proposes to visit all the restaurants in town, of both high and low de- gree, and find out if possible just how many, if any, are still selling impure milk. Yesterday afternoon he visited some thirty restaurants, with the result that four were found to be sell- ing milk below the standard. They are: Olsen Bros., 216 Market; Ellis Eakery, Twenty-sec- ond #nd Stevenson; Cool's Kestaurant, 36 Sec- @ “stuck fortae drinks.” The bibulous con- dition of the defendants showed too plainly, oud; P.

HELENA'S RECENT ROMANCE A Hurried and Quiet Ceremony That Even the Local Papers Were Ignorant Of. The weddings of millionaires are usually reported even to the minutest particulars. An exception occurred recently at St. Helena. One of Napa County’s wealthiest young men was married there a fortnight ago. He was married to a beautiful and talented younglady well known in this City, but nota line has up to this time been printed about the wedding, and when a few of the young lady’s friends were asked about it yesterday they were sur- prised to learn it had happened. The groom was George Rutherford, a handsome young fellow of 22, whose home is in Napa County. He is a millionaire, having been made such by the death of his father some years ago. His property in- cludes among other things most of the town of Rutherford and oneof the best- appointed estates iz California. The bride was Miss Lulu Worrell, a blonde of 18, who was for some time a tel- egraph operator In this City. 'The young lady was born in Napa County, near St. Mrs. George Rutherford. (From a photograph. | Helena, where her parents owned a vine- | yard and were fairly well-to-do. As she | grew up her peauty of face and disposition won the affections of her boyish neighbor, George Rutherford, who was her particu- lar cavalier from the time she was 8 years old. They at last came to that stage known as “grown up.’ They were still great friends, but not_sweethearts. The girl be- came a young lady. She was the center of an ever-widening circle of friends, who admired her as much for her firmness as | for her winning ways. And when ber | father met with financial reverses and Miss Worrell became a telegraph operator | they were not surprised and only regarded her the more highly. | " She was bardly 16 when she came to San | Francisco to work for the Western Union Telegraph Company. Her form and face were mature. She was most attractive, for, though her skin was dark, her hair was of a decided blonde hue. Her features were clear cut, and exhibited a strength of character that won her many good friends from the beginning. : Miss Worrell was employed for a while in the telegraph office at Fourth and | Townsend stree.s. Then she was trans- | ferred to the branch office at California and Front streets. Later she was put in charge of the office at Twenty-third ave- pue, East Oakiand. All this time she lived with relatives in this City. Mr. Rutherford was most of the time in Napa County. Sometimes he would come “to the bay,” and he usually brought a team of steppers with him by boat, and | would spend a few joliy days with his old- | time friend. The voung people corre- sponded, but they were merely friends. Then a young telegraph operator ap- eared on the scene. This was “‘Jack” onnors, a good-hearted, bright-eyed, jovial fellow, who succumbed at once to the cherms of the girl from Napa. They “‘kept company’’ for some time. But there was no engagement, though Connors was much infatuated. % Miss Worrell reiarded him as a very dear friend, though. It was as such that she corresponded with him when she re- turned to her home in St. Helena, about eighteen months ago. But young Mr. Connors found xio comfort in her kindly letters. 5 In the meantime Miss Worrell was with her parents. She was employed as a sub- stitute at St. Helena, but often came to Ban Francisco. George Rutherford was with her more and more. There was no formal engagement, though. “I don’t think they knew of the wedding themselves until theday before,” said Miss Aggie Murphy, a bosom friend of the bride. Miss Murphy is also a telegraph operator. She is also bright, vivacious and pretty, but she has no young millionaire in view— as yet. “You see, it happened this way,” she continued. “Lou’'s father and mother were getting ready to move to Palo Alto. She, of course, had made all her plans to_accom- pany them. The night before their de- parture—that was Tuesday night, two weeks ago—Mr. Rutherford came to the house. “He thought it was too bad for her to go away. She thought so, too. Then he said, ‘Well, won’t you stay, then?’ And he pleaded with her to marry him, and she said ‘Yes,” because, though there had been no regular engagzement, they both knew they would marry sometime. And the next morning they were quietly mar- ried, without any fuss about it. “Her father and mother left for Palo Alto on time. Lou stayed, of course, with her husband, and I got a real sweet letter from her a week ago, and they’ve been ‘living happy ever after.’ ”” Mr. Connors had not heard of Miss Worrell’s wedding. But he declared man- fully that he was delighted to hear she had married Rutherford, kecause that gentleman was not. only wealthy, but was also a thoroughly manly young man. Then he declared that no man could he uite good enough for young Mrs. Ruther- ord, and told of her many charms of man- ner and person. Mr. Rutherford ‘is well known in Napa County. He has one brother a few years oider than himself. Both are well-favored young men, who devote themselves largely 10 business. > A short time ago their mother gained consiaerable fame by marrying a young man named Dalziel, whom she had em- loyed as the manager of her estates. The vs found that the hired man’s word was law on the ranch, and that their mother consulted him even in regard to the man- agement of her sons, They rebelled only to find that their mother had been mar- ried by contract to Mr. Dalziel for over two years. A second marriage ensued some three months ago. The bride is between 45 and 50 years of age and the groom about 33. ATTORNEY ARRESTED. Charles P. Kearley Charged With Va- grancy and Obtaining Money by False Pretenses. Charles P. Kearley, who gives his occu- pation as an attorney, was arrested on Ellis street yesterday afternoon by Police- men Wagner and Riley, and taken to the City Prison, where he was booked on the charge of vagrancy. Last night another charge of obtaining money by false pretenses was booked against him. The complaining witness is Ambrose Watson, clerk in Judge Conlan’s court. On September 10 two women were each fined $5 by Judge Conlan. They had put up $20 bail each the night previous. After sentence had been passed Kearley went to Watson and said he bad been authorized by Julius Ossala, who bailed the two women out, to get an order for the $30 bal- ance of bail money from the City Treas- urer. Watson demurred, and Kearley be- came indignant that he should doubt the word of an attorney. Finally Watson was prevailed upon to give him the order. A few days later Ossala called upon Wat- son and asked for the $30. He was iola it had been paid to Kearley as his attorney, and he was shown Kearley’s receipt. Os- sala denied that he had ever given Kearley authority to get the money, and Watson had to pay it out of his own pocket. Kear- ley kept away from the hall till yesterday, and the sight of him reminded Watson of what he had done, so he informed the po- lice and Kearley was arrested. — MURRAY AGHINST HOWELL He Was One of the Main Oper- ators of the North Beach Gang. The Strongest Evidence That Has Yet Been Found Against the Stock- ton Man. The Government scored another point yesterday in the Howell counterfeiting case on trial in the United States District Court, and with this successit may be said that the trial has begun in earnest. Attorneys Joseph Campbell and E.S. Pillshury had made some strong objections to the prosecution putting on the stand C. M. Murray and Fred Marsh, the two accomplices, as it is supposed, of Howell, but Judge Morrow delivered an opinion early in the day allowing them to be ex- amined in consideration of the principle that the question of whether they were accomplices or not would be one for the jury to determine. J Murray was the first witness examined for the Government and the questioning consumea the day. Attorney Campbeil objected vigorously to some of his evi- dence, but Judge Morrow overruled him. He will subject Murray to a pretty severe cross - examination. The evidence was more damaging than any that was intro- duced against the defendant on the two former trials. This is the first time Murray has had any chance to testify against Howell. He pleaded guilty, originally, to passing the counterfeit money and was sentenced to a term in the penitentiary, but before he completed it he was pardoned, because he bad promised to give evidence against Howell if executive clemency were ex- tended to him. His pardon was- based upon a recom- mendation emanating from the United States District Attorney’s office at the urgency of Secret SBervice Agent Harris, It was Harris' scheme to use Murray and Marsh against Howell and produce evidence that would convict this time. According to yesterday’s testimon: Murray kept a saloon in this City in 189“y Fred Marsh proposed to him the counter- | feiting venture, and they, with the assist- ance of Abatti, Visconte and others, went into the husiness extensively and became known eventually as the “North Beach gang.’”” Murray went to Stockton, he stated, to pass some of the “queer’’ Marsh had given to him. There he met Howell. The sequel can be given in his own words: “Howell bouzht the money at half rates, and he told me then that he would pay half price for all the counterfeit I could get. I sold bhim all kinds of silver and three counterfeit notes the first day I met him. The notes amounted to $25, and he Enve me §12 50 for them. Afterward I sold im the money right along until Mr. Har- ris arrested us.’ i Messrs. Campbell and Pillshury have associated with them in*the defense Attor- ney Thomas D. Riordan. Howell does not seem to be disconcerted by the testimony of his former friend. | Our work is well in hand and interest through- $100,000 15 SUBSCRIBED, About $50,000 More Is Expected From the Active Interior. AUBURN AND REDDING COME IN Now Is the Time for All Who Want to Assist to Come In and Show Their Sincerity. Now is the time for all those who mean business to come to the front and show their depth of sincerity by lending a help- ing financial hand to the plan of securing the next Republican Convention. Our delegates to Washington, in whose hands tne work of working on the National Com- mitteemen has been placed, are about to go to the capital for the purpose of driving the last spike for the City and the coast. In order to make a proper showing while there it will be necessary to have some money in hand. A great many of our most prominent citizens have signified a willingness to assist in paying these ex- penses by sending in 5 per cent of the amount they guaranteed to subscribe and it has been a most material help in getting the delegates away on their mission which means so much to us. The finance committee has succeeded in securing signatures to the amount of $100,000 in San Francisco alone, and the returns from the interior indicate some- thing 1n the neighborhood of $50,000 more. No movement was ever inaugurated in this State that brought forth such good re- sults as the present one, and even if the desired result is not reached it will have haa the effect of showing Californians that the State is a unit on all propositions for its good. The National Committee meets in Wash- ington on the 10th of December, and it is necessary that by that time California has marshaled her strength in good order, ready for the tight that is bound to occur there. Pittsburg, Chicago and New York are after the same prige that we desire, and it is likely that a very lively struggle will be waged for the plum. In order that the men who have indi- cated their faith in the movement should have an understanding of what is expected of them, Wendell Easton yesterday sent out the following communication to all those who had offered to assist in the work that cannot ve carried on without funds: SAN FrANCIECO, Nov. 25, 1895, Dear Sir: The executive committee in charge of the citizens’ movement to secure the Republican National Convention for San Fran- cisco beg to report most setisfactory progress. out the State awakened. The finance committee report that there will ‘be no difficulty in raising $150,000 to $200,000 | in this City, and the reports from the interior | insure another £50,0C0; actual subscriptions in hand to-day, $100,000. The committee appointed to present the claims of California before the National Com- mittee are now ready to proceed to Washing- ton; in fact, three of them are now en route. That this work may be properly carried out a fund for this special purpose must be pro- vided, and we respectfully invite all citizens who feel an interest in the cause to hand to our committee such voluntary subscriptions as they see fit, and we invite all the present subscribers to the general fund to favor us with a donation of 5 per cent of their sub- seription. All remittances can be addressed to the rooms of the executive committee, Nos. 100 end 101, Chronicle building, which will be deposited at once with the treasurer, Louis Sloss Jr., and only paid out on drafts signed by the chairman or vice-chairman and coun- tersigned by the secretery of this committee. All unused funds, after this preliminary work is completed, will be at once returned to the voluntary subscribers in proportion to their subseriptions. It is desirable that we should have responses at once, as our executive committee will iake final action when it ascertains the condition of this preliminary subscription fund. Re- specttully yours, Executive Committee. ‘WENDELL EASTON, Chairman. ALTRED BOUVIER, Secretary. Yesterday the chairman of the promo- tion committee, Albert Castle, received letters of acknowtedzment from General Chipman of the north and Mayor Frank Rader of the south, who were appointed as delegates to the National Committee meeting. They will go on to Washington in a fewdays. General Friedrich leaves to-day, and inside of a week all our dele- gates and Representatives will be in the thick of the fight battling for 8an Fran- cisco and the Pacitic Coast. —_— REDDING IS READY. WB A Meeting Held in Which She Pledged Herself. REDDING, Car., Nov. 25.—The Repub- licans of this city held a meeting to-night to devise means of assisting the State Cen- tral Committee to capture the next Repub- lican National Convention for San Fran- cisco. Rousing speeches were made by leading Republicans and the prevailing sentiment was to work most hard to bring the convention to San Francisco. Red- ding will lend all the assistance possible and may be able to aid in the financial part of the fight also. The following resolutions were passed to-nizht at the meeting in the interests of assisting in securing the Republican Na- tional Convention for San Francisco: WHEREAS, We believe that it is to the best interests of the people of Californis, and will voice a freer expression of the people of the United States regarding the choice of a candi- date for President, that the next National Re- publican Convention be held in San Francisco, Resolved. By the citizens of Shasta County in mass-meeting assembled this 25th day of No- vember, 1895, that the holding of said conven- tion in San Francisco will be conducive to the prosperity of the State of California at large by bringing within its confines the ablest men of the Nation, showing to them not only our many legislative needs and necessities, but also displaying to them our great natural advantages to the end that they may be more generally understood. Resolved, That we hereby indorse and com- mend the appointing of General N. P. Chip- man as one of the committee to visit Washing- ton, D. C., to confer with the Republican National Committee. phbose O AUBURN HAS ARRIVED. The Mountain Town Is BSending Its Assistance. AUBURN, CaL.,, Nov. 25.—Citizens of Placer County in a non-partisan mass- meeting to-day passed resolutions favor- ing the bringing of the National Republi- can Convention to San Francisco and selected a finance committee to immedi- ately solicit subscriptions. Hon. J. H. Neff called the meeting to order and Judge Prewett was selected as chairman and Edwin F. Wright chosen secretary. Messrs. D. W. Lubeck, G. W. Armstrong and J. M. Fulweiler were appointed a committee on subscriptions. Following resolutions were passed: WHEREAS, The lack of knowledge on the part of prominent men of both the leading parties of the Atlantic and Mississippi Valley States of the interests and needs of the Pacific Slope section of our common country results many times in the failure of needed legislation for this section; and whereas, the near ap- proach of a Presidential campaign in 1896 re- minds us of another possible opportunity of impressing the leading men of both great var- | | 3 ties of the importance of our State as an in- | tegral portion of the Nation by naming of our metropolis, San Franeisco, as the city in which their National convention can be held, | g, therefore it is Resolved, By citizens of Placer County in | non-partisan mass-meeting assembled, that we are fully aware of the importance of securing the designation of San Francisco as the city in which the National Republican Convention should be held, and that in every way possible we pledge ourselves to aid in securing the d sired result, believing it to be no more thana deserved recognition of the importance of our | © section. e IS CHICAGO ASLEEP? She Must Get 1In Soon or Not Au. CHICAGO, Iin., Nov. Campbell, the Illinois member of the Na- tional Republican Committee, returned to-day from his visit to Washington. He had a long conference with J. Irving Pearce, who has taken the initiative in working for the National convention prize to be awarded Chicago. Although neither gentleman would disclose the information which Mr. Campbell no doubt brought with him from his fellow-committeemen in Washington, it was learned that Mr. Campbell told the chairman of the Chicago committee that immediate action of a definite character must be taken by Chi- cago’s business men, and a guarantee pay- ment of at least $70,000 made to the National Committee before the claims of this city would be coasidered. If thisis not done in a few days, Mr. Campbell thinks the convention will go to Pittsburg. It is understood that a meeting of the busi- ness men’s committee will be held at once.
