THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1%95. DOCKERY AS A DROVER, The Milk Inspector’s Adventure on the Banks of Islais Creek. TYPHOID FEVER IS ABROAD, Result of Impounding Cows That Were Feeding on Unwholesome Swamp Grasses. James P. Dockery, Milk Inspector, and Dr. E. J. Creely, the veterinary surgeon who accomvanied him, had an exciting exper e on the swamps near Islais Creek, just east of the San Bruno road, Sunday morning. Some time ago the Milk Inspector, in his investigation of the quality of milk furnished the citizens, ascertained thata large number of cows owned by different i who had dairies in the vicinity en City,”” were in the habit of their cows to feed on the rank ws on the swamp which is refuse from tanneries, the sewers, the refuse of soap al works and sweepings ter-houses, all' of which he was 1 did not tend to improve the qual- ass on which the cows fed nor e water the cows drank. He obtained warrants for the arrest of of the owners of cows feeding on this avory grass, but these papers have not vet béen served. the inspector in company W Creely drove out with a view of ascertaining the condition of a number of es where cows were kept, but before turning ¢ reached their destination they dis- covered nearly 200 cows feeding on the swamp gr 1e inspector concluded that he would have positive proof of the ownership of these animals, which he de- clared could not give wholesome milk. He conceived the idea of driving them from e marsh to the main road, and from ublie pound, where the : to call for Le inspector and doctor went to a place and changed their clothes for old d ones, ana when they appeared e road they looked like tramps. pair started to drive the cows over ¢ the swamys, and were making good when suddeniy a dozen nien and t of them with very little wear- 1 on, and two dozen dogs, ap- on the scene and stampeded the nd claim them. | the yells came from, and a grotesque sight met their eyes. Ashard had torn the sleeves from his shirt and tied them together. Then he climbed up the bars of the cell and tied the end of the sleeves firmly round the crossbar. The other end he tied round his neck and swung himself off, as he sup- posed, into eternity. Unfortunately his left foot got caught between the bars, and he hung suspended partly by the neck and partly by his foot. 'The pain in his foot made him yell for help. 1f his foot had not been caught the probability is that he would have been strangled to death. He wus quickly cut down and his foot extricated. Then he acted like a mad- man. He tore at his throat with his hands, and when restrained and thrown on his back he screamed and fought desperately to eet to his feet. The handcuffs were finally put on his Wrists, and he was taken to the hospital in the patrol-wagon, where he was strapped down in a padded cell. He will be taken before the Insanity Commis- sioners this morning. _This is the fourth case of crazy prisoners either attempting to kill themselves or some one else in the prison within the past | four weeks. A young feliow named Jones | was nearly strangled to death by Edward Maum, who was suffering from” delirium tremens, and is now in an insane asylum. Eugene Pardini attempted twice to kill himseif, and now Ashard attempts to | strangle himself. MORE TLK ON CONDLCT, Second Opportunity Given to Judge Morrow in the Howell Case. Sheriff Cunningham’s Poor Memory Due to Sickness—Matt Jones Is on Hand. Yesterday was not altogether without | its little sensations in the Howell counter- feiting case in the United States District Court. The first came when Sheriff Thomas Cunningham of Stockton was put on the | stand. The Government had expected | him to swear pretty strongly in its favor, but he did not. His testimony given on | | the former trials was read, however, and | | he said that, so far as he could remember, | what he testified to then was true. That evidence has amounted to a state- ment that in a conversation with Howell once the defendant had admitted to him that he had counterfeit money in his safe. Howell had told him. according to it, that he had 25-cent pieces in his safe. | When cross-examined Sheriff Cunning- | ham said he had been sick for some time | < officers fired several shots in 1 caused the men and boysto reat, but all but sixteen cows got ese were secured and the Mission noned.

There is considerable alarm felt in the | Health Department over the unnsual number of typhoid cases reported within the last week. Twenty-five cases is the record for the six days ending yesterday. Itis held that the milk islargely if not responsible for this e ordinary condition of the City health T'he disease is not in any sense epic t, but there are grave fearsthat it t become so unles: 0TOUS measures adopted. From now on a determined war will be waged against all dairymen who allow their milch cows to feed on swamp lands. The typhoid epidemic in Oakland two s ago was traced direetly to cows h were allowed by their owners to graze on the salt marshes. The fatality attending the Oakland scourge is still fresh in the minds of the public, particularly the physicians, 2\ a- typhoid cases reported at the Health ) Department during the past six days are | © not confined to oane locality, but are to be found in every section of the City. Were it ise the raordinary number could be easily attributed to some local cause, and would create no alarm. But with re- ports coming from North Beach, the Mis- sion, Richmond, and, in fact, from every section of the City, the ph; ans con- clude that it must be caused by the milk, Mr. Dockery is therefore extra vigilant, and promises to see to it that no more cows are allowed to graze on the swamp lands, TRIED T0 HARG HIMSELT Milton Ashard Makes an Unsuc- cessfal Attempt in the Prison. His Left Foot Got Entangled Between the Bars, Which Helped to Save His Life. Milton Ashard, a’ man over 50 years of age, attempted to commit suicide in a cell in the City Prison early this morning, and is now confined in a padded cell in the Re- ceiving Hospital. Ashard was arrested on Mission street on Friday night on the charge of disturb- ing the peace and using vulgar language. He was locked up in a cell with several other prisoners. He acted queerly in the cell by talking to himself and keeping the other prisoners awake at night. About 4 o'clock yesterday morningall the sleeping prisoners in the prison were rudely awakened by a man’s yells for help.

Trouble Arises for the Purchaser of a Box of Rusty Old Iron. Judge Troutt has rendered judgment in a peculfar suit. By its terms C. M. Bridges must refund $2721 75 which he found in a chest of old iron, and must pay the same amount in damages. Some years ago Bridges bought a chest of old iron found in thecellar of the father of the plaintiff, Henry Radstone, Rad- stone had died and his_heirs sold his ef- fects. I[n this,chest Bridges found the 2700, and be thougbt he had made a valu- able purchase. Some time after the heirs of Radstone dug up a lett'r telling them thathe had hidden some money in the very chest they had sold to Bridges, so they went after the 2 | the Silver Kni UNION ON ONE CANDIDATE, The Scheme Being Discussed by Silverites and Popu- lists. BIMETALLISTS ARE TO GATHER. Call for a Silver Conference in Wash- ington Next Month to Con- sider the Plan. Through the efforts of Senator William ewart of Nevada, Ignatius Donnelly Minnesota, Thomas V. Cator of this and others active in the cause of bi- metallism and various reforms, a move- ment is on foot to have the silverites and the Populists unite their streneth upon one candidate for President in 1896. Ignatius Donnelly started the ideaina ietter to Senator Stewart and that com- munication was promptly followed by one | from Mr. Cator, who has since submitted the proposition to Chairman Barney and the County Committee of the San Francisco Popuiists and received their practically unanimous indorsement. Some correspondence has just passed be- twen nator Stewart and Kecney, secretary of the Amerfcan Bi- metallic League for California, in which Mr. Stewart indicates a hearty concuar- rence in the plan. In the words of Mr. Cator, in his letter to Mr. Stewart, the | plan proposed is: There is but one basis upon which the Peo- | ple's party and the silver men_can act effec- tively in 1896. Itis that already Ignatius Donnelly, and which h ably discussed here by prominent and zealous | silver and People’s party men i ot as Let the National Committee of the People's party and the leaders of the s each call sepurate conventions to sit separately at the same city and at the same date. Let gach convention adopt its platform to suit itself. There will be nothing inconsistent in these platforms, but one will contain more demands than the other. Then when the platforms are completed let each convention appoint a con- ference committee to confer only on the ques- tion of candidates for President and Vice-Presi- dent. 1T they can agree upon candidates who can receive the nomination in the usual way in each convention, then let each candidate he ‘ nominated in each convention simultaneously. | Mr. Kesney’s comment on this was: 1 am satisfied that this basis of action can be ‘ bad with the Populists with harmony ana good feeling, but that no other basis can be agreed upon without producing quarrels mm! ultimate disunion.

Lane as a Democrat and Alvinza Hayward as a Re- ublican have been already selected by the eague as delegates. Others from this State would probably be, he said, Timothy Guy Phelps, N. W. Spaulding, J. R. Berry of Los Angeles, John P. Moore of Colusa, William 8. Edwards of San Bernardino, udge Joseph H. Budd of Stockton, M. W. Belshaw of Antioch and W. C. Price of Oakland. Mr. Cator will doubtless be in Washington at the same time in attend- ance upon the meeting of Populist leaders. M'DONALD ON TRIAL. He Appears to Answer the Charge of Embezzling Twenty Thousand Dollars. The trial of the embezzlement cases against R. H. McDonald Jr. came before Judge Bahrs yesterday. The particular case under trial is one which charges that McDonald, then vice-president of the Pa- cific Bank, on June 1893, feloniously ap- propriated to hisawn use $20,000, the per- sonal property of the bank, with the in- tention of defrauding the depositors. The jurors secured were: P. J. Eagan, 933 3 Oak: 112 Chattanooga; S. Tripp, A. Steele, 2043 Howara 519 Sansome; T. Kirby, 40 3. 8. Rosenblait, 113 Pine; J. J. Pas- 4 Filbert: M.

His contention in the case now pending will” be that he did not embezzle the $20,000, but that the money u})on which the charge is based was ban- dled by Frank V. McDonald and the cashier of the bank. The $14,000 Frank lostfrom "his va McDonalid will claim, was part of the ,000 in question. The case will open Wednesday.

It means the formation of a separate party on one plank, viz: silver coinage. Resolved, That we accept the invitation of the National Silver Committee of Chicago, and that in accordance with its recommendation the president of the American Bimetallic League be authorized and directed to unite with the National 8ilver Committee of Ciicago and the National Bimetallic Union in calling a conference of those who believe that a settle- ment of the question of currency reform by the free and unrestricted coinage of gold ~and siiver at the existing ratio, by the United States independently, caunot be effected through any existing party, and who are will- ing now to unite in organizing and supporting a party formed for the purpose of carrying this cause 1o success, to meet at Washington, D.

In sending this call General Warner wrote to Secretary Keeney: It is expected that the bimetallic union formed at Salt Lake last spring will join in the call for this conference. By the time the conference meets the time of hotding the Re- publican and Democratic National conventions will have been determined, and something of the policy of the next. Congress will probably also by that time be disclosed. This conference will be an important one, and should be at- tended by our best men that wise counsels may prevail. In any view of the situation sucha confer- ence is necessary in order to prevent divergent action, and to bring together into one move- ment all who are now in favor of placing the cause of bimetallism above that of any party or any personal interest. 1 bope your Natlonal committeemen can attend this conference; at any rate we witl leave it to them to select dele- gates from California.

Very respect- fully yours, A. J. WARNER, President. Mr. Keeney in speaking yesterday after- French artists as Grasset, Cheret and Le- fevre are amply represented. Advertising posters announcing new books, special numbers of magazines and illustrated weeklies are likewise attractive and artistic. Of course a bizarre effect is soughi. The purpose of the artists is to | produce something to instantly catch the public aze. Electricine, by Lefevre, a gorgeous pro- duction in red, yellow and blue, is quite captivating. ~ Cheret’s big posters are equally striking. George DuMaurier, C. D. Gibson, Frederic Remington, Dixon, Ethel Reed, George H. Hallowell, Watson, Bac. Tdwards and many other artists are repre- sented. Many of the most striking specimens were collected by Edmund Bosqui. John Stanton also secured quite a number, and Robert H. Fletcher arranged the display at the club. The posters will remain as they are until Wednesday evening. Between the hours of 2 and 5 p. Wednesday, ladies will view the collection. e MURPHY NOT INJURED. Judge Seawell Overruled His Domurrer to Curry’s Answer in the Fee Bill Case. The demu.rer submitted by W. H. Mur- phy to the answer filed by County Clerk Curry in the fee bill case has been over- ruled by Judge Seawell. The case was one in which Murphy sued to have the County Clerk file the com- plaint of Murphy vs. Bakersfield upon payment of afeeof $650. In hisanswer Curry stated that he offered to file the complaint for $5, which he claims was the legal fee. The court says in its opinion: “If plaintiff can file his complaint upon payment of only $5 he is not injured by the refusal of the Clerk to charge $6 50. As an individual he has no interest in the matter further than that he shall not be required to pay more than the law re- quires.” This practically ends the case, for it says in effect that the plaintiff Murphy has suf- fered no injury; he has no wron§ 0 re- dress and therefore he has no standing be- fore the court. here are four charges of embezzlement | | after the rich man’s land.

WILL OPPOSE THE NOE HEIRS, Attorney Lane Says the Quitclaim Deeds Are Unjust in a Great Many Ways. Franklin K. Lane of Lane & Lane, who have been chosen as attorneys by the San Miguel Defense Association to oppose the suit of the Noe heirs, speaking yesterday in reference to the interview with the at- torney for the Noe heirs which appeared in yesterday’s CaLy, said: “That interview was nothing more nor less than an offer to sell quitclaim deeds at a low figure. It was an advertisement for the business of the syndicate of attor- neys who have brought this suit and thus cast a cloud over the homes of 6000 people. They wish it to be understood that fora nominal consideration they will quitclaim to the poor man, but that they are hot they are fighting the rich, not the poor. “What nonsense! See, here is their complaint—the first, we are informed, of eighteen they are to file. Now,in this list of 250 defendants there are, so far as we can learn, but two rich men sued, and they are not among the richest in the district, nor are they those who hold the most un- occupied land. “Where is Adoiph Sutro’s name? Where is the Crocker estate? Where is the South- and County of San Francisco? These and many other wealthy individuals and cor- porations own great tracts of Jand in the San Miguel Rancho, yet they are not sued. They want to scare the man of small means into buying a quitclaim deed for his little home, and with the money thus raised they will be able to bring more suits and keep up a long and harassing fight. “It oughtto be distinctly understood that every man who pays a dollar for a quit- claim gives that dollar to carry on a fight a quitclaim deed is feeding the enemy. That’s all there is toit. It’s an old, old tried once too often. ‘We do not intend to the plaintiff’s attorney; vet all the people he has sued are poor. “It is true that Judge Sanderson over- ruled these demurrers to the complaint last Friday. What of it? The demurrers were not argued. They were overruled for want of prosecution. I hope people are not so ignorant as to believe that the over- ruling of a demurrer is a recognition in the slightest of any merit in the Noe claims. “The whole purpose of the utterances of the plaintiff’s attorneys is manifestly to scare ignorant and voor people into buying quitclaims. But the good gentlemen will be fooled. The people of the San Miguel Rancho haye organized to fight the case to a finish and they expect all the home- owners in the district to join their associa- tion. “80 long as there was no organized de- fense on the part of the property-owners nothing was said as to se!ling quitclaims at a low figure. Oh no, they were out for lood. They wouldn’t agree to extend time 4 single day. They took default the minute ten days were up. Twenty-eight defaults have already been taken. But when they found that the people of the San Miguel were out for blood themselves they advertise the fact that they have a choice assortment of quitclaim deeds on hand at cut rates. And they try to make the ignorant believe that the law is with thera because a demurrer was overruled. l cheaper for the poor man to defend his property than to buy these Noe people off.” Gabrieili had a charming voice, but was so capricious that no one counld tell when she was going to sing, even when cist fora part in opera. Once, in Naples, she came offended and refused to sing above a whisper. The King sent her to prison, where for twelve days she feasted the prisoners, entertaining them with her choicest selections.
