4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, " THE LIEUTENANT COVERNORSHIP Will Jeter Be Retained in the Officc He Now Occupies? WEAT MR. BUDD' SAYS.| It All Depends Upon the Terms -of the Coming Election Proclamation, CONSTRUCTION OF THE LAW. Knotty Points That Are Puzzling Local Politicians and State Officials. | —There mong that g the out of his 1 is soon to be Jeterin that wed on the sub- tative, the Governor election proc time comes, if T interpret the a preclamation for the When the to re. law election of a Lieutenant-Governor, I shail 2. The fact is, 1 probably issue on am in doubt about the c on of the law on this point. and wi tainly consult with the ey-General before arriving at on. At the present time there are several ways of testing Jeter's rights to the position he occupie: hould any one desire to do so. For instance, the law makes the 1tenant-Governor a member of the Board of Regents. Jeter now holds 2 in that capacity, and if any one a positi de Governor, way do they not contest his right to act as a State Regent? There i absolutely no section of law which prévides that the President pro tem. of the Senate shall ever become Lieutenant-Governor, -although he may become Governor should certain exigencies occur; for that matter, there is no surety that Jeter would not be re-elected to the position he now occupies should I find it necessary to mention that position in my election proclamation.” “Govesnor, suppose it possible that Jeter should hold over, would he have the right to appoint the various committees?”’ was then asked. “That matter rests entirely with the If, as 1 understand it, and my Lieutenant-Governor the Senate, which was Democratic at that time, approved the appointment of all committees, either by the President pro tem. or by the body it self, I forget which. Atall events, if the body be"Democratic and the President pro tem. Democratic, then undoubtedly they will allow him to name the committees; if not,as I said before, the solution of the problem will rest with the body it- self.”” In speaking of the subject to-day one of the Republican State officials said: “Gov- error Budd can retain Jeter in office if he sees fit, there is no doubt. He caa claim to be supported by the law of 1880 regard- ing election proclamations, which law has never been changed. The law is embodied | in section 1053 of the Political Code and provides that ‘at least thirty days before a general election, and whenever he or- ders a special election to fill a vacancy in the office of State Senator or member of the Assembly, at least ten days before such special election the Governor must issue an election proclamation, under his Land and the great seal of the State, and | transmit copies thereof to the Boards of rvisors of the counties in which such tions are 1o be held.’ “This law provides that the Governor must issue a proclamation in cases of spe- cial election, where the vacancies to be filled are those occurring in the offices of State Senator or Assemblyman, but 1t says nothing about Lieutenant-Governor or any ! other State office. Special elections are de- fined by law to be such as are held to sup- ply vacancies in any office. It is plain, therefore, that the Governor is not, under the law, compelled to issue a proclan:ation for an election to fill the office of Lieuten- | ant-Governor. Now, if Governor Budd wants to take advantage of this omission in the law he candoso. In the case of Kenfield vs. Governor Irwin the Supreme Court de- cided that1t is essential to the validity of a popular election that the time at which the same isto be held should be desig- nated in advance. Now, suppose the Gov- ernor claims that the law does not direct him to put the office of Lieutenant-Gov- ernor in the proclamation when 1he same | is for the filling of a vacancy—or, ir other words, is a special election—is it not plain that an elaction of a Lieutenant-Governor, inasmuch as the people had received no notice, would be Kenfield vs. Irwin is the same as this. “In 1875 J. W. Mandeville was elected State Controller, and in February, 1876, he died in office. Three days later, in con- formaunce with a provision of the constitu tion, Governor Irwin appointed W. B. C. Brown to fill the office of State Controller for the nnexpired term of Mandeville, de- ceased. On November following thers was an election and D. M. Kenfield-and W. B. C. Brown were rival candidates for the of- fice of Controller. Kenfield received the ority vote cast, but the Governor re- fused to issue him his commission to the office for which he was elected on the ground that he had issued no proclamation for an election to fill the office of Con- troller. “The Supreme Court held in this case that Governor Irwin was right in not issu- ing the commission, for the reason that the election was not proclaimed. This decision has been specially affirmed by subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court. The Gov- ernor, in my opinion, is anxious to retain a Democrat in the office of Lieutenant- Goverzor. and I am of the opinion that he will neglect to anything about a va- cancy in that office when the time comes for him to issue his election proclamation. I do not see how it is to be helped, either, for the reason that you cannot mandamus him until he has refused to act, which he probably will not do until the proclama- | tion has been issued thirty days before election, as the law requires.” In his interview to-day Governor Budd | said: “There is a very curious proviso in the law relating to the Lieutensnt-Gover- norship, For instance, if the Governor s to contest his rights as Lieutenant- | invalid? The case of | , dies the Lieutenant-Governor does not be- come Governor, and therefore there is no vacancy iw the office of Lmut‘ennnt- Governor. By virtue of his being Lieuten- ant-Governor the powers and duties of the office of Governor simply devolve upon bim. Should he die while exercising such powers the President pro tem. of the Senate shall act as Governor. In that case he would be Governor of the State and Presi- dent pro tem. of the Senate at the same time. “The constitution provides that when vacancies occur in either house the Gov- ernor, or the person exercising the func- tions of the Governor, shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies. You will notice by this that when a Lieutenant- Governor dies there is no provision of law for any person to exercise his functions. | A vacancy simply exists which the Gov- ernor must fill. If the Governor and Lieutenant-Governor both die the Presi- dent pro tem. of the Senate will exercise the functions of Governor.” | 1t is claimed by prominent local politi- ians that while they do not entertain the slightest doubt but that Governor Budd will attempt to retain Jeter, nominations { for the position of Lieutenant-Governor | will be made on both tickets, no matter what action the executive may deem fit to iake. - GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTMENTS. New Harbor Commissioners for Various Parts of the State. SACRAMENTO, CAL., March 12.—The | following appointments were 1inade by Governor Budd to-day: Norman H. Conk- lin, Harbor Commissioner for San Diego, vice Stewart, term expired; Frank H. Dixon, Harbor Commissioner, San Diego, | vice Barbour, term expired; H. L. Ri Harbor Commissioner. port of Eureka, Humboldt County, vice H. H. Cousins, re- signed; J. R. Brown, Harbor Commi sioner, Eureka, vice Josiah Bell, term e pired; Edward M.

Confessions of Their Crimes. { | | e | | One of the Lads Is the Son of Hon-| est and Industrious | Parents. | | SANTA CRUZ, Car., March 12.—The | vs who were arrested last night for com- mitting all the burglaries which have baffled the police of this city for many | weeks past have all made confessions to- | night to the District Attorney. They were put in separate quarters in the jail where there was no possible means of communi- | cation. | | Archie Schenck told of his implication | in the robberies early in the evening, and | Claude Ranger, the colored boy, betrayed himself by taiking too much. The ring- leader, John Weinburst, alias Howara, who is confined in one of the steel cells, | telline the story and listened attentively. | He heard the remark made that one boy | { had confessed everything and the other | | boy was about to do likewise, so when Dis- | trict Attorney Lindsay approached Wein- | hurst later he made a clean breast of the | affair. He acknowledged entering the sev- | | eral places that were robbed and_ obtaining | money from all but one. He said his only | | companion was Schenck. Schenck is. the | son of an honest, industrious father, who | feels his boy’s implication in the crime | most keenly. | _Ttis probable that the two young boys, | Schenck and Wilson, will be sent to the Ione Reform School and that Weinhurst will plead guilty, for he has served thirty days in the County Jail for vagrancy and ‘! a term in a reform school. e F1KEBUG, | Bereral Incendiary Attempts on the Out- skirts of Santa Oruz. SANTA CRUZ, Cav., March 12.—Several | complaints have been made recently of | | attempts to fire houses without the limits | | of the city and bevond the reach of the | | Fire Department. But no direct informa- | | tion reached Sheriff Besse until this | evening. A farmer in Happy Valley named Duke, reported that an attempt was made last | | night to set fire to his house, and that an | employe of his friend fired several shots at the incendiary and thought he hadhit one. Another report was received that the base- i ment of the residence of Mr. Bingham, at | East Santa Cruz, was fired and that kero- | sene oil was discovered aiter the fire had | been extinguished. ABROAD, jIMPORZ‘A)\'I TEIAL AT FRESNO. | Canal and Irrigation Company Sued for { Heavy Damages. FRESNO, Car., March 12.—The trial of | the suit brought by the Fresno Milling | Company against the Fresno Canal and | Irrigation Company was begun in Judge | Webb’s department of the Superior Court | here yesterdday. This suit, which in an indirect way means a severe contest, where a large sum ‘ is involved, has been hung up in the courts herT for more than two years without trial. The plaintiff claims heavy damages of the canal company on the ground that said defendant company failed to comply with the terms of a contract wherein it agreed to supply power to the milling | campany. This city is, in equity, mixed up in thls suit, because it filled up the canal and thereby desvrived the defendant company from complying with its part of the con- tract. Several leading lawyers are em- | ployed in the case. Harry Sherwood represents the Sperry | Bros. as plaintiffs, while the defendant’s company is represented by E. B. Perrin. | The canal over which this suit originated | is the old Moses J. Church ditch, the first | irrizgation canal ever made in this part of | the San Joaquin Valley. | = el e 8 NEAR TOWLES. KILLED The Body of an Aged Man Mutilated by the Cars. | EMIGRANT GAP, CaL, March 12.—E. A. Curtis of Blue Canyon, while walking on the railroad track toward Towles last | evening, found the body of an aged man lying near the track with his head badly mashed. From the descri tion given it is believed to be the body of gfr. Nichols, an aged and feeble resident of Shady Run, who started from Towles this afternoon to walk to his home, a distance of four miles, and while en- deavoring to get out of the way slipped on the ice and his head fell under the wheels. The body has not yet been brought in and identity cannot be possibly esbnh%ished. e DELEGATES FROM UKIAH, Hop-Growers of the State Will Hold a | Convention. | UKIAH, CaL, March 12.—The hop growers of the State have determined to | hold a convention at the Grand Hotel on | April 4, to discuss the conditions and pros- { gccts of the hop business. The following | detegates from here have been appointed: | Judge R. McGarvey and W. D. White of | Ukiah and L. F. ng of Hopiand.

An Acrobatic Celestial Who Was Merchant or Laborer at Pleasure. JUDGE BELLINGER'S DECISION. Danger of Opening a Loophole for the Entry of Swarms of Mongols. PORTLAND, Ogr., March 12.—United States Judge Bellinger for the past two | days has been hearing the petition of Quong Bing for an order admitting him to registration. The case is an interesting one, involving the opening of a loophole through which steamer loads of Chinese laborers might eventually creep in. Quong Sing affirms that he was for many years 8 merchant at Salem, Or. In 1894 he decided on a trip to China, and took out a certificate naming him as a merchant and entitling him to return to this country, which latter course he took in 1895, being landed by the Collector of Customs at Tacoma. On arriving at Salem he found business so depressed that he concluded to occupy himself as a laborer until such time as trade revived. This, under the act he could not do with a merchant’s certificate, as the first Government officer that hap- pened to become apprised of his sailing | under false colors would land him in jail for deportation. Application was made to the customs officials for a laborer’s certificate, but these officers could not see their way to grant it. Quong Sing then filed his petition asking the United States District Court to order the Secretary of the Treasury to issue such laborer’s certificate in place of the mer- chant’s papers he now holds. Judge ‘Bellinger this morning denied the peution, claiming he had no juris- diction in the matter, in the first place, and, in the second, the granting of such a petition would mean the forming of a precedent which would tlood the United States courts with Chinese desiring sim- ilar changes, and of whom nothing could be told as to wheth - the certificates of- nis that when Waterman was | Overneard a visitor to one of the prisoners | fered were fraudulent or not. TROUBLE AT MILL VALLEY The California Construction Com- pany Is Ordered to Spare a Tree. The McInneses Prepared to Protect Their Property at Any i Cost. MILL VALLEY, Cal., March 12.—Su- perintendent Graves of the California Con- struction Company, which is engaged in the building of ihe Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railroad, was served with a notice yesterday stating that the company would be held liable for damages if they cut any trees ordestroyed other property fronting on the lands owned by J. H. McInnes. Not only did Mr. Mclnnes secure the above notice, but he stationed two men, M. Fitzgibbons and Ralph Antonella, near the property with instructions not to al- low any trees to be cut. 1t seems that the line of the mountain road runs for about 300 yards in Corte Madera avenue, in Mill Valley, and in lay ing out the route along this avenue the Mountain Road Company thought it best to run the track upon one side of the avenue. By so doing the road will run within two feet of the sidewalk, in front of Mr. Mclunes’ property, and in so doing a large tree just at the entrance of Mr. Mc- Innes’ house will have to be sacrificed. The men were about to cut the tree down, when the owner appeared upon the scene and protested against any such work. ‘When the notice was served upon Su- perintendent Graves he said that if any attempt to interfere with the work of the men was made he would bring spit against Mclanes for damages on account of delay- ing the work of constructing the road. cInnes took all the precautions neces- sary. “I have served the notice upon them,” said he, “and now I intend to gumd the tree and see that it is not cut own.”” ““Yes, and I intend to see that the tree is not, felfed,” his son, A. McInnes—also a business man in Mill Valley—replied, touching his hip pocket significantly. All this afternoon some une has been guarding the tree and if the Construction Company’s men attempt to cut it down there will be trouble. Later this afternoon new measurements were made along Corte Madera avenue, and it is possible that the track will be laid 0 as to avoid Mr. McInnes' tree, Since the published statements in THE CALL to the effect that the mountain road intended to use locomotives on its line, together with electric-cars, the people are complaining. They say that they do not mind electric-cars running through the valley, but they do object to steam en- gines, and it is probable that the peopie will combine und’{i{ghl the people. This moining M. M. O’Shaughnessy, a | large land-owner in Mill Valley, instructed | Constable E. E. Gray to arrest any man in | the employ of the mountain road or the California Construction Company who at- tempted to plow up orin any way inter- fere with the road in front of his property near Eastland station. A meeting of Corte Madera avenue prop- | erty-owners was held to-day in the office of ‘Mr. O’Shaughnessy in the Crocker buildjng in San Francisco, at which were present or represented: George F. Marsh, H. 8. Bridge, Maurice Windmiller, M. M. O’Shaughnessy, J. H. McInnes, P. 8. Far: gerson and others. A permanent organi- | zation was formed and George F. Marsh elected president and M. M. O'Shangh- nessy secretary. The organization is known as tho Mill Valley Property-Own- ers’ Association. Ata previous meeting a | committee was appointed to obtain reliable information from responsible attorneys in regard to whether the Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railroad had a right to occupy the streets of Mill Valley without the consent vention favoring the abandonment of poy:gmwmg in California until the price is high enough ts pay the cost of produc- tion, with some profit for the ranchers. of the people residing thereon. The committee reported that the attor- neys had said that the railroad company | bad no right to take the streets without se- FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1896. curing the necessary rights and privi- leges. . Immediately this information was tele- honed io Mill Valley to Mr. and Mrs. cInnes, who had all the while been keep- ing the men ffom plowing up the streets, This morning one of the men employed by the Construction Company attempted to run the plow over the road ‘in_front of the Mclnnes property, when Mrs. Mc- Innes ordered the man away. He re- fused to, go and started up the horses, with the intention of cutting through the street, but Mrs, McInnes grabbed the handles and overturned the plow. ‘““If you were a man,”’ said the fellow, “I would thrash you."’ y 0 ‘‘Oh, no, you wouldn’t,”” replied the lady. “If I was a man you would run away.” No attempt was made to-day to do any more plowing, but the property-owners have stationed an armed guard over the roads, with instructions to stop any attempt on the part of the mountain road people to gain possession. The guard will keep watch all night. A constable is also on watch with the necessary papers to serve on the men if they commence work at any time of the night. The people are determined not to_see their prettiest driveway ruined when it is possibie for the road to run a few hundred feet. to the east, and avoid traveling on the Corte Madera avenue at all. & Excitement is at fever pitch, but it is not thought that any violence will be re- sorted to. — SAN RAFAEL'S LEADING QUESTION Railvoads Must Keduce 1heir Rate of Transportation. SAN RAFAEL, CAL., March 12.—There was but one subject of conversation in San Rafael yesterday, and that is about the mass-meeting beld Tuesday night to dis- cuss the question of obtaining lower trans- portation rates from the railroads. While it is generally conceded that no lower rates will be given, at least for the present, it is said that the people are satisfied with the results of the meeting, for it has brought before the railroads the feeling of the people of San Rafael in regard to the important matter. Every one is agreed that the town must secure lower passenger rates before it can hope to increase its population, and a committee of fifteen citizens will wait upon the directors of the North Pacific Coast Railroad and those of the San Francisco and North Pacific Road, and request them to consider the matter of increasing the train service and lowering the passenger and freight rates. Until tha mmitte returns its report nothin> can e done in the matter. There are rumors of an opposition rail- road running a ferry system to _~an Quen- tin, and train from there to San Ra'ael, but no one appears to know anything about the matter, and little stock is placed in the rumor. JY GOULE AND HS WNES Seattle Furnishes a Story on the Dead Financier's Marital Exploits. Apropos of the Suit of a Woman Claiming to Be the First Wife’s » Daughter. SEATTLE, Wasn., March 12.—Apropos of the story going the rounds to the effect that Jay Gould was twice married and that an action had recently been be:un against the Gould estate by a woman claiming to be his daughter by the first wife of the famous financier, Jason Gould Corbin, a well-to-do farmer residing at Auburn, King County, telis an interesting tale. Gouid and Corbin, so the latter says, were children together and grew up at Roxbury, Delaware County, N. Y. Corbin took his Christian names from Jason Gould, an uncle of the late railroad mag- nate, and his aunt, according to the stor; toid, became the second wife of John B. Gould, Jay Gould’s father. X That which retards the suit from recog- nition by the executors of the Gould es- tate, asalleged in the story published in the latter part of February, is the lack of proof that Jay Gould and Jason Gould were the same; and now comes Farmer Corbin, who says: ““f do not know anything about Gould’s marriage to a first wife; but I do know that Jay Gould and Jason Gould were one and the same man. We were born at Rox- bury, Delaware County, N. Y., and lived | on adjoining farms. His father’s name | was John B. Gould, who was afterward | married a second time to my aunt. 1 was named after a brother of John B. Gould, who was a great friend of our folks. Jay was named after the same man, but he was always called Jason in those days. “We never exactly went to school to- gether, Jason and I, but we grew up together. I went to school just across the ridge and Jason went to the other one. He was a few years younger than me, and I think he would be about 65 now if he were alive. I came West in’49, having lost all track of Gould years before. We were never good friends. I tell you he was always a rascal and ever looking for some one to do up. “In the sixties Il, occasionally saw Gould and then he was known as Jay, instead o Jason. He was then controlling the Erie Railroad with Jim Fiske, and was a big man. I lived on theline of the road at this time. *I can swear,” Corbin said in conclu- sion, “that Jay Gould and Jason Gould were one and the same man, but Idon't know anything about his first marriace, for 1 must have been away then. Sarah Brown was the maiden name of the alleged tirst wife of Jay Gould.” PORT TOWNSEND NOTES. New Hydrographic Officer — Released From Quarantine. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., March 12.— Lieutenant J. M. Hetherington, now at- tached to the United States steamer Adems, has been detailed to take charge oi the hydrographic office here. No officer has been in charge since Lieutenant H. T. Mayo was ordered to the Bennington over & year ago. he steamer Bertha, owned by the Alaska Commercial Company, sailed from here to- day, bound for Sitka, from which place she goe; in the regular passenger and freight usiness to Cooks Inlet and Prince Wil- liams Sound. Captain King and wife and’ all except three of the crew of the British ship City of Hankow have been released from ‘the United States quarantine station at Dia- mond Point, after twenty-six days’ deten- | tion. Three others, now convaleseing, will be discharged by Saturday next. The ves- sel is laden with lumber ‘and awaiting her skipper at Hadlock, to which place she was towed after a six-day fumigation. Officers of the révenue cutter Wolcott report that the present winter is undoubt- edly the most severe experienced in Alaska since thirteen years ago. During the months of January and February the mercury was never above zero, and at both Sitka and Juneau snow fell almost con- tinuously during that time. There was a auction sale here this afternoon at the Custom-house of contra- band goods scized by inspectors during the last two months. Everythin% went cheap except opium, which brought $10a ound. The same brand has been sold here after importation for $9, and the sale indicates that opium_smugeling is no longer successful on Puget Sound. The buyer to-day was the famous £eidback of Portland, who was last year fined $5000 for complicity with the Muikey-Dunbar smug- gling ring.

EXPECTED TO DISAGREE Ex-County Clerk Ward Unmer- cifully Scored by Defend- ant’s Counsel, BLAMED FOR THE DEFICIENCY. Should a Verdict of Guilty Be Found the Case Will Be Ap- pealed. LOS ANGELES, CaL., March 12.—The case of ex-Deputy County Clerk Frank E. Lowry, on- trial for embezzling public moneys, was submitted to the jury this afternoon. At1l1Pp. M. no agreement had been reached and the jury was locked up for the night. The chances are they will not agree, but no information from the in- side can be had to-night. The defense stakes its hopes on a hung jury, and the prosecution is not sanguine of a convic- tion. Attorney E. A. Meserve, in his closing argument for the defense, severely scored ex-County Clerk T. H. Ward, now clerk of the State Supreme Court. He admitted that Lowry, who was Ward’s chief deputy, falsified his accounts, but said it was not done to cover up any theft of his own, but to shield the head of the office, who was aware there was a dedcit and was himself responsible for it. The only crime Lowry was guilty of was loyalty to his friend and benefactor, who was now letting him shoulder the entire ame for the misconduct of the office. Meserve appealed to the jury not to make a scapegoat of Lowry and punish him for the misdeeds of others. Ward was the person “most culpable, and if the District Attorney would perform his whole duty a complaint would be filed against Ward be- fore night. Ward’s friends are indignant over the attempt to shoulder the blame on him. A good deal of feeling has been aroused over the charges made by the defense. On the other hand, Lowry has many sympa- thizers on account of the good reputation he has always borneand his general popu- larity. Should Lowry be found guilty the case will be appealed and a new trial asked for. o e THE SPANISH GIRL SHOOTER. Mallie Moreno Tells How She Killed the Chinese Peddler. LOS ANGELES, Car., March 12.—The Chinese vegetable peddier killed in Sepul- veda Canyon last evening was shot (acci- dentally it is claimed) by Mallie Moreno,a good-looking Spanish girl about 18 years old. The story of the shooting, as told at the inquest to-day. was to the effect that the Chinaman, who was on friendly terms with the girl, complained to her that a boy had called him bad names. He said he would kill the boy if he repeated the of- fense and jestingly remarked to the girl, “And me Kkillee you, too, if you call me such bad name.” - The young woman, pretending to be frightened at the threat, ran into the house close by and reappeared with an old army musket, which she pointed at the Chinaman and pulled the trigger. She thought the gun was not loaded, but it went_off and the bullet narrowly missed the girl’s mother, who stood between her and the Chinaman,and struck the latter in the right side, killing him almost in- stantly. The girl. who was horrified at her act, gave herself up to Constable Roberts, who still has her in custody. The Coroner’s jury returned an open verdict, although the evidence tended to show that the shooting was accidental. It has not yet been decided whether Miss Moreno will be prosecuted, althought it is probable a complaint charging murder or manslaughter will be filed against her. TR AR o MRS. DALTON LOSES. Wanted $20,000 From Capitalist Field for False Imprisonment. LOS ANGELES, CAL., March 12.—Mrs. Mary Jane Dalton, a restaurant-keeper, has sued W. A. Field, a Los Angeles ca; talist, for $20,000 damages for false impris- onment, because Field caused her arrest and incarceration in the County Jail for three days last September on a charge of petty larceny, which was afterwards dis- missed. Field made the defense that he had ‘‘probable” cause for having her locked up, and a jury in Judge McKinley’s court to-day decided in his favor and awarded Mary Jane not a single cent to soothe her wounded feelings. Field has a building at Redondo which he rented to Mrs. Dalton for restaurant purposes. It had been previously occupied by a man named Lancaster, who left some of his furniture there. Field did not like Mrs. Dalton as a tenant, and soon ordered her to vacate. the premises. She prepared to doso, butas she refused to pay some rent alleged to be due, Field had her belongings attached. She succeeded in hlving the goods released, and then Field had her arrected for petty larceny, -lle?ng that some tableware which she had boxed up preparatory to moving belonged to Lancaster. She lay in jail three days before her trial which resulted in acquittal, as she conyinced the justice that the stuff ‘was taken in mistake. A damage suit followed with the result stated.

Kirk- land, until February deputy clerk of the Board of Supervisors, is short in his ac- counts at_least $750. He admits cashing warrants drawn for others and appropriat- ing the money, but says he will return it. Complete investigation was ordered by the board to-day. The defalcations ex- tend over a period of one year, principally during the last two days of his incumbency. Kirkland is an early settler and cne of the leading Republicans of the county. He was elected by t.at party twice as Supervisor and once as Treasurer, besides to other high positions. Heavy gambling and constant losing was the cause. ROMANCE FROM SHTTL A Cowboy's Reward for a He- roic Deed Performed Many Years Ago. TROUBLE. How He Saved the Lives of the Wife and Child of a Cattle Baron. SEATTLE, Wasn., March 12.—Seattle has a romance in connection with James Buchanan, a Duwamish River fisherman, formerly a Texas cowboy, which rivals the strangest tales of fiction. By the will of a wealthy cattleman o the Lone Star State Buchanan, who is now en route to Texas to claim a legacy, is to receive $15,000. This bequest was given in recegnition of the heroic services of the ranger many yearsago in saving the wife and child of the cattleman from drowning in a Texas river.
