4 ‘THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1896. THE BAR AGAINST COAST CATTLE, Lassen and Plumas Grow- ers Seeking to Raise the Quarantine. DECLARED AN OUTRAGE. Northern California Entirely Free From the Dreaded Texas Fever. ALL WILL APPEAL TO BUDD. Appointment of a Stock Inspector By the Governor to Be Urged. CHICO, Car., March 30.—The stockmen of Lassen and Pl i arms against the g 2 fornia cattle, imposed by the Agricultural DPepartment, beause Texas fever is preva- lent somewhere west of t declare that this quarantine has been es- tablished be e Eastern stockmen de- sired it in order to shut out Pacific Coast growers. W. T. Cressler, who is now at Amadee with a ba of cattle, which he can neither s nor dispose of because cf Secretary Mc s order, is endeavoring toarouse the cattlemen to take instant ac- tion for the removal .of the bar aga their herds. As Cressler remarks, *‘§ netic or T feve: section as ice in ha Not a single case in either of the counties of Plumas, Mo- doc, Sierra or Lassen has ever been heard of. It seems the lines were drawn with a pe- culiar regerd to the exclusion of any Cali- fornia cattle from the Eastern m. - Considering this condition of affairs 1t would appear that other motives than sim- ply to subserve the public interests have been the animus for including theentire State of California and omitting all of Ne- vada, lying as that State does directly to the east and extending no further north than the prescribed territory. Whatever pl s as scarce in this xas the motive the effect is plainly to be seen. The cattle men interested intend to make the proper showing at ance to have i lines redrawn. If they the d ble that the 4000 or more ng in this section and which rket this spring will have ss or driven back to the ranges. The hay men ol Honey Lake also have an s quarantine rem is to continue e materially with is valley as a feeding-ground. The most direct and quickest plan to have the ban removed from our cattle is found in Cressler's suggestion that a petition be sent to Governor Budd from this valley as soon as possible asking the appointment of a cattle inspector, 1n order to satisfy Secretary Morton that there is no Texas fever in this part of the State, even while there may be some in sections a thousand miles from here. This was the plan pursued in Texas, and the districts found free from disease are allowed to ship their cattle north at any time. —_— RORKS AN INJUSTICE., Cattle Cannot Be Shipped to San Fran- cisco Via Reno. SUSANVILLE, Cavn., March 30.—The quarantine law recently imposed against the cattle of northwestern California is destinea to work great hardship to all that portion of the State lying east of the Sierra. To all intents and purposes it is an em- bargo that affects not only the cattle- dealer but the farmer who sells hay. Practically it prevents the shipment of any cattle from this section to the East, and it is a matter of fact that beef destined for San Francisco and billed through from Amiedee, in Lassen County, is liable to be quarantined as soon as it crosses the State line to reach the Central Pacific at Reno. There are 2500 cattle feeding in Honey Lake Valley at this time that are thus de- nied a market, while it is a fact that no reason exists or has ever existed for a quarantine so far as this section iscon- cel John Sparks’ cattle, quarantined at Omaha and ordered killed, came from | this valley and were in’ perfect health. Why the law should have been invoked against them is a question which may be best answered by those whose interests are subserved. The general opinion of the cattlemen and farmers of this valley, who are affect- ed by this unjust appiication of the law, which is of too extended scope, is that the recent activity in the matter is due to the coast purchasers, who desire the reserves of this part of the State for their own use. No conjoint action has yet been taken here; the outcome of Governor Budd’s let- ter to the Department of Agriculture being awaited with the greatest anxiety. Lrew e RESTS WITH THE GOVERNOR. Can Draw the Discriminating Line Be- tween Any Points Desired. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 30.—Rep- resentative Johnson of California, hasbeen asked by Governor Budd and Dr. Lane, the latter the Secretary of the State Board of Health of California, to protest to the Secretary of Agriculture against the quar- ning of California cattle, which are alleged to be affected with Texas fever. Johnson saw Secretary Morton this morning and informed him that Dr. Lane insisted that the cattle were healthy. Dr. Salmon, the chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry. presented reports, however, from the agents of the department of the Pacific Coast showing that the disease ex- isted, but that it was confined to cattle coming from the southern part of the State. Secretary Morton explained to Johnson that before issuing his cifcular quaran- tining California cattle he had notified Governor Budd of his intention, and that he set forth the legal difficulties which wouid prevent him from drawing a_divis- 10nal line between the two sections. To .this letter he received no response. The remedy, he added, was in the Governor's hands, inasmuch as he might draw this line between any points desired, in order that the quarantine remain in force only against the affected section without having any influence upon the remainder of the State. Suicide on Government Island. PORTLAND, Okr., March 30. —J. E. Bartosch, a shoe-dealer of Albina, com- 1 mitted suicide yesterday on Government | Island, about twelve miles from here, on | the Columbia River, by blowing his head | off with a shotgun., Bartosch was de- spondent over loss of money. He placed | the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his toe. St e ARRAIGNED AT GRAYSON. Rancher Canty Asks for a Change of Venue to Modesto. MODESTO, Cav., March 30.—The exam- ination of J. M. Canty and his brother-in- law, McDonald, for removing the horses of | *White Hat'” McCarty from the pasture | while in the bands of a receiver, where | | they had been placed by the County Assessor, came up before Justice of the | Peace Van_Benshoten at Grayson this | morning. Canty’s attorney moved for a | change of venue to Modesto, Canty making | | aflidavit that he believed he could not get justice from jury or judge in that court. Dan McCarty, the owner of the horses, was present and counted the horses in the corral. He found 235 out of the 294 first placed in Canty’s pasture. He says he will | search Canty’s ranch to-morrow.

VISALIA, Car., March 30.—Eva Evans, | daughter of Bandit Chris Evans, this ate! noon filed suit for a divorce against | James U. Evans, her contract husband, on the ground of desertion. Shortly after marrying they separated and *Jim Evans’ | joined the United States arm FUROR AT THE CAPTOL, Bureau of Highway Members | Resent J. W. McDonald’s _ Charges. | | | Deny That They Gave Inside quor-} mation to Contractor Touhey at Sacramento. SACRAM 0, Carn., March 30.—The | statement of J. W. McDonald in THE CALL | to-day, wherein he declares that Contrac- tor Touhey was given inside information enabling him to putin alower bid than | other contractors who were after the con- tract for bituminizing the streets surround- ing the Capitol has raised a storm of in- dignation from the members of the Bureau | of Highways. Mr. Irwin, when inter- viewed thisevening. said: | The statement that we gave Mr. Tuohey inside facts as to the price of | rock furnished from Folsom is an abs)- | Iute falsehood. It would have been im- possible for us to give exact figures, as Warden Aull did not inform us as to the t cost of crushing until the evening | t the bids were opened, and I was then bled to give the exact figures in my public address to the Capitol City Wheel- men. Every one of the San francisco | competitors called at the office of the| bureau before formulating his bid, and re- | | ceived tlie same information given to Mr. Touhey—that is, that we thought the rock | { cuullu De furnished at 54 cents per square | yard. " ““The idea that any one could get inside | paints is simply absurd, as the press of the State for months past has published the fact thau the establishment of the rock- | crushing plant depended on the previous | contracting for at least 50,000 square yards | | of road material with satisfactory trans- | portation rates. The fact that such had | been procured was published in THE CALL | | of June 22, 1895, and the Record-Union of August 6 published the message of the | Mayor of Sacramento, gusranteemng rock at 70 cents. “It 1s impossible that contractors who keep up with the times would figure on procuring rock from private individuals at $150, when the press of the State gave publieity to the low ratesat which State rock could be procured, and also stated that the contract for bituminizing the | streets surrounding the Capitol was being withheld for the purpose of including the 16,000 square vards necessary for that work | within the 50,000 square yard contract nee- essary to the establishment of the rock- crushing plant. “None of us have been approached as was Mr. Kent, and the only interest we have in_the contracts is to see just as many miles of good road laid throughout the State as possible.” Mr. Touhey emphatically states that he personally told ){r. McDonald on the 22d of the month that rock could be procu from Folsom at 50 cents a square yard, landed on the cars in Sacramento. He toid McDonald this on an estimate, as he never obtained positive figures from the Bureau of Highways. He claims that every one of the contractors bidding knew itm rate and used it as a basisin their i | tn | ena Mr. Touhey also denies that he ever bought any cobbles from Trustee Kent or the city, and retdliates by stating that McDonald took cobbles that he never paid | for, and claims he has proof to that ef-| fect. Sy SLAIN IN SELF-DEFENSE. Officials Investigate the Killing of a Jap- anese at Fair Oaks. SACRAMENTO, Car.,, March 30.—Cor- | oner Clark, in company with Lakanye, | the Japanese, who confessed to having | killed and burried a companion Japanese last Tuesdey, went to Fair Qaks this | morning to exhume the body. On ari ing there, Lakayne pointed out the grave which is in a circle of dense underbrush. | The assistance of a number of Japanese was procured, and in a few minutes the body was exposed. From the waist up- ward, the corpse was wrapped in a blanket, | and it was lying face downward in a hole | from which an immense stump had been | grubbed. { . There were two ax wounds, one three | | inches long through the center of the head, | penetrating the skuli, and the otheracross | the forehead, over the right eye. By inquiry it was found that the dead man was a vicious, quarrelsome fellow, al- | ways seeking trouble with his compatriots The previous evening he had thrice at- | tempted to pick a quarrel with his slayer. Lakanye's story is to the effect that the other Japanese rushed at him and struck at him with the ax, cutting him in the leg. Lakanye then disarmed him and struck him on the head, butdig not intend to| kill him. When he found that the man | was dead he wrapped him in a blanket and buried him. G Tulare County Right of Way. VISALIA, CaL., March 30.—The first deed in Tulare County to the San Fran- cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company was filed with the County Re- corder on Saturday. It is for a right of way across section 6, township 16 south, range 24 east, This, however, is not the only Ideed secured for the Valley road by the | right-of-way committee. Others will soon g0 on record. AT Visit Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Car., March 30.— Chauncey M. Depew, Cornelius Vander- Lilt, John Hone and George R. Fearing, who arrived here late Saturday nightona special train, spent yesterday in driving about the valley and departed for the south this forenoon. They distinctly dis- claim any political or railroad significance in their visit, but declare it to be a flying trip for pleasure and recreation. ’ —_— Suicide at Woodland. WOODLAND, Car., March 30, —Charles Hunt, a young man 22 years of age, died from the effects of an overdose of landa- num at his residence in this city about midnight Sunday. He had taken the poison after a long debauch. | ‘broken’ SUFFERING N ALASKAN WILDS, |Hundreds of Men Unable to Purchase or Beg Food. SUBSISTING ON CLAMS. The Beach at Juneau Covered With the Rude Huts of the Unfortunates. NO LET-UP TO THE RUSH. Penniless Men Pouring Into the| Country and Without Means to Return. PORTLAND, Or., March 30.—“Tell the people who have no money to stay away from Alaska. The newspapers must stop this ruinous stampede,” said T. C. Ashby, a pioneer Alaskan packer, who pessed | through Portland to-day en route to the northern El Dorado. “The giving of wide publicity to the certain hardship, suffering—yes, even star- vation—that surely confronts the money- less Alaskan adventurer is all that can turn back the present rush to that country,” he continued. “The people of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria, B. C., and other points from which the make-up of this stampede 1s coming, have no idea of its tremendous proportions, but we of Alaska, who every few days have seen land on our beaches 150 to 200 1nen, three-fourths of whom are | penniless and have to be fed, are the ones who are cognizant of the situation in all its desperation. “Here you see a party of twenty or thirty men leave on the steamer or train bound for Alaska. Of the number pos- sibly five are supplied with funds sufficient to take them to the Yukon with a proper outfit. The balance are trusting to luck and the chance of obtaining work. This party makes no impression on leaving here, nor are its members missed, but at every other city on the route north, up to the very last point where the steamer makes a stoppage before steaming off into the great inland passare, these twenty or thirty men are joined by twenty or thirty more, until at last a steamer overloaded with lively humanity, willing to eat and sleep anywhere or everywhere aboard the | craft so long as they are permitted to jour- | ney toward the Mecca of their deluded | hopes on a cut-rate fare, leaves Nanaimo. There is no stopping now except at a few | isolated canneries and semi-abandoned camps, where, even were one of the pas- sengers offered a job at fair wages, he would refuse, so intent are they all to get north, until Juneau is reached, and there the whole crowd pours from the steamer | and spreads out onto the little semi-circu- lar beach of the bay on which Juneau lies. “Inside of two hours aiter the passen- gers land the wheat has separated itself from the chaff. Those who have money bave engaged rooms and board for the few days they expect to stay and are-busying themselves about the stores, either getting | together an entire outfit for the Yukon or ! making purchases of articles that have | been overlooked. On- the other hand, the men have divided themselves into squads of ten or twelve, and each squad + has a committee out, searching for a cabin | or some kind of shelter under which they | may spread their blankets and cook the | sack of tour, piece of bacon and few | pounds of beans the funds of the entire | party will afford to buy. There are no | cabins, even far back up the canyon, to rent, and when I left Juneau there was | nota bit of cloth for tent-making to be | bought until the arrival of the next! steamer. “The result is, the men without money are forced to take to the beach. They are strong and willing to work, and by bor- rowing an ax soon succeed in throwing up | a brush house, which, with the constant | rains of the country, is almost worse than { nothing. In front of this hut, as best they | can, the men cook the little food they have been able to buy. This lasts possibly a week, during which time each of the party There is none. For a few days longer they ‘live on the beach,’ as it is termed in the north when a man looks for food to the clams, mussels and fish, with which the country abounds. Without flour, grease of some kind and the condiments of civilization, this beach grub is hard going, and in four days, we'll say, the men are desperate in their hunger. Their pride gives away and they try to beg a meal from the hoteis or restaurants, but there have been a hundred ahead of them, no matter how early in the morning -they may make their plea for food, and they are refused. “If a man has thesmoney to come to the | country, and after purchasing an outfit, spend a season in the interior and have sufficient funds left, providing he is un- | successful, to pay his way back to civiliza- tion, I say let him come. Thera is virgin country, miles upon miles, never trod by the foot of a prospector; but for the man thinking to take advantage of the cheap steamer fare to reach Juneau and then by some hook or crook make his way into the intericr or find work on the coast, I say, in the name of humanity, stay away.”” TAMALPAIS ROAD TROUBLE California Construction Company Is Found Guilty of Contempt and Fined. Affidavits Allege That the Men Did Not Know They Were Violat. ing an Imjunction. SAN RAFAEL, Cav., March 30.—)udge Angelotti of the Superior Court to-day found the California Construction Com- pany, which is engaged in building the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railroad, guilty of contempt and fined it $25. This is the first fine ever imposed by Judge Angelotti ana was occasioned by the company laying about sixty feet of rails on Corte Madera avenue in Mill Val- ley, in violation of an injunciion issued by Judge Angelotti at the instance of bas done his best to tind work. | Maurice Windmiller, who claimed the running of the mountain road on this avenue would damage his property. The California Construction Company, through its attorneys, filed a number of affidavits in support of its contention that the men did not know they were laying rails on Corte Madera avenue. After the reading of the affidavits Judge Angelotti said that while the injunction had been disregarded it was plainly evident that it was done by accident, and the defend- ants had done everything in thejr power to remedy the matter, having pulled up the track the same afternoon it had been aid. e MILL VALLEY DIVORCE SUIT. Mrs. Josephine Borgeson Accuses Her Husband of Cruelty. SAN RAFAEL, Carn, March 30.—The domestic life of Mrs. Josephine Borgeson of Mill Valley has not been a bed of roses, according to her complaint for divorce filed with the County Clerk to-day. She accuses her husband, Henry Borgeson, of almost every charge under the statute. The Borgesons are well known in Mill Valley, especially the husband, whose craving for liquor has led to all the trouble between his wife and himself. It was be- lieved at one time that he was insane, for not long ago in a drunken rage he threat- ened to murder his wife and children. | Deputy Constable E.E. Gray, who inter- fered, was ulted by Borgeson with a pair of pr ng-shears, but the voung dep- uty saved himself by a well-directed blow with his fist. Borgeson was allowed his freedomn at the time on condition that he | would leave Mill Valley, but he kept com- ing back, and while under the influence of liquor has repeatedly beaten his wife and applied vile epithets to her. EVENTS AT SAN JOSE: The Trustees of the Rutherford Estate Petition for a Distribution. Mrs. Lulu Hoops Sues for a Divorce on the Grounds of Cruelty and Desertion. SAN JOSE, Car., March 30.—Charles F. } Wilcox and W. Appleton, trustees of the estate of (ieorge W. Rutherford, who | died in this city in February, 1891, 10-day | petitioned the court for a partial distribu- | tion of the estate to them. Under the will the property, valued at $120,000, was left to George W. Rutherford, the only child, who is now 16 years oid, but the estate was | to be held in trust until he became 25 years | ofage. Should the legatee die before reach- | ing his maturity the estate is to be divided | between a host of nieces and nephews. | The estate consists of toe Masonic Tem- ple property on the southwest corner of | Second and San Fernando streets, valued | at $35,000; forty acres of land on the Mil- pitas road worth $20,000; a lot in the Uni- versity Tract worth $700; 800 shares of Commercial and Savings Bank stock ap- praised at $42,500; notes valued at $21,197 and the balance in personal effects. LlEg BAREON CASE AGAIN, Motion to Quash a Citation and Service Is Denied. SAN JOSE, CaL., Ma 30.—The mo- tion made by J. C. McKinstry, attorney for the Protestant Orphan Asylum of San Francisco, came up before Judze Reynolds | | to-day. M. C. Hassett and H. V. Morehouse were present as the legal representutives | of George Barron, who had the citation in guestion issued on a motion to revoke the probate of his father's will. It being proved that the citation and service as to the Protestant Orphban Asylum had been lost, the court ruled that the motion could be made on a copy of those documents. Attorney Hassett moved thatJ. C. Mc- Kinstry be excluded as not being the prop- erly accredited attorney of the Protestant Orphan Asylum, but the motion was de- nied, on the ground that Hassett had no right to question the authority of an ap- posing attorney. Hassett’s motion to amend the return of service was slso de- nied, and the attorneys then proceeded to argue on theoriginal motion. McKinstry stated that the citation had been served on Mrs. Edna McNear, matron of the asylum, and not ou the person or persons properly in charge, and the re- turn was, therefore, clearly defective. He argued that the law required it to be | proved that the service must be upon the proper parties, and cited numerous au- thorities purporting to have bearing on the case. Judge Reynolds denied the motion to uash the citation, stating that if the rotestant orphan asylum had not been served it was not bound by the judgment, and therefore could not reasonably com- plain. This_decision leaves the case ex- actly where it was before the motion was made. BRI STRUCK BHER WITH A BROOM. | One Reason Why Lutu Hoops Wants a Divorce From Her Husband. SAN JOSE, Car., March 30.—The testi- mony taken in the suit of Lulu Hoops for | a divorce from J. G. Hoops on the grounds of cruelty and desertion shows that their married life was not all sunshine and roses. The plaintiff testified that on nu- merous occasions her husband struck her with a broom. The couple were married in Kansas City, Mo., in 1890, and bave two | boys, aged 2aad 4 years. About a year ago Hoops left his wife and has not con- | tributed to her support since tbat time. = S Valued Above the Owners’ Price. SAN JOSE. Car., March 30.—The jury in the condemnation suit instituted by the Banta Clara Valley Railway Company against James W.

This amount is $1000 more than was asked for the property, which the promoters of the pronosed railroad from San Jose to Al- viso desired for a terminal. The railway company’s offer for the land was $500. simiag s Cond Determined to Be Wayward. SAN JOSE, Car, March 30. — H. C.

END OF THE EASTER VACATION Studies Resumed After a Brief Period of Rest—The Presentation of “Said Pasha.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., March 30.—President Jordan this afternoon re- ceived a dispatch from Professor Wood- ruff, who is now in the East on a leave of absence, announcing his resignation from the Stanford faculty in order to accept a $3000 professorship of law at Cornell. Professor Edwin Hamlin Woodruff was one of the youngest and brightest men in Stanford’s corps of professors. In 1358 he | took the LL.B. degree at Cornell and was | at different times assistant librarian at the Astor Library, chief cataloguer at the Cornell University Library, instructor in English at Cornell University and then librarian of the Fiske Library at Florence, Ttaly. He accepted the librarianship of Stanford University Library while travel- | ing abroad and in 1893 became an instruc- tor in law here. His wonderful aptitude for work made him a favorite with the students, and he at once stepped to the front as one of the mest thorough instrue- tors at Stanford. Professor Abbott, at the head of the law department here, says that Professor Woodruff, who was ap- pointed to a full professorship last year, was one of the most skiliful tutors in ele- mentary law and contracts in the United States. Professor Woodruff in June last received a leave of absence for one year, being en- gaged with Profe ssor Huffeut of Cornell in compilation of a new law textbook. They were already authors of a well-known text- book on cases in contracts. At that timeor a little Jater Professor Woodruff was offered a chance at Cornell, but refused. His loss will be keenly felt at Stanford. Dr. Jor- dan says: “Although his resignation has been ac- cepted, no steps as yet have been taken to fill bis chair.” Instruction began again to-day after the week’s Easter intermission. Many of the stadents are still absent, but class work will not be delayed by that fact, for hard work begins at once with the open- ing day. This begins the final eight weeks of the college year. The performance of the opera ‘‘Said Pasha” is billed for April 11, and. the scores of students who- are to participate are rehearsing diligently. A stage is in process of construction in the gymnasium, while the elaborate scenery and costumes are to come from San Francisco.. Those in charge assert that this will be one of the most elaborate presentations of an opera ever given by college students. Stanford’s glee and mandolin clubs have not yet returned from their tour of the southern part of the State, but are ex- pected back to-morrow. Since the middle of the month these musical organizations have given more than a dozen concerts, and the tour has been comparatively suc- cessiul. It is probable that, financially, the clubs will not quite make expenses, | but the slight deficit is much more than offset by the good impression made on their first tour. Discussion on the question of a uniform varsity sweater is not yet ended. The final disposition of the matter will doubt- less be made at another student body meeting, for that alone will satisfy the football men OROVILLE EDITORS FIGHT Result of a Feud Between the Mercury and Register Forces. George H. Crossette and S. S. Boynton Engage in a Hand-to-Hand Contest. CHICO, CaL., March 30.—A fierce storm is raging on the journalistic sea of Oro- ville, and the whirlwinds of editorial wrath are lashing the billows of vitupera- tion into a foam. Editor Crossette of the Mercury accuses the Register of being Re- publican “‘for revenue only’’ and its editor simply a partisan for Postoffice purposes. Editor Boynton indignantly denies that his party fealty is measured by dollars and cents, and charges his accuser with being a hypocrite, coward, liar and Demo- crat. About 3 o’clock this morning, as a result of this squabble, a fist fight took place near the Oroville Register office between George H. Crossette of the Mercury and S. S. Boynton of the Register. Boynton was badly battered about the head and face, and mourns the loss of a necktie. Officer Fox happened to be near and separated the editors, and the matter has been settled for a time. No great damage re- sulted from the set-to, but it has created | much excitement amang the citizens. as the editors are two of the oldest residents of Butte County. g Aid for the ¥. M. C. A. SAN JOSE, Car., March 30.—The Pas- tors’ Union of this city to-day decided to take concerted action in aiding the Young Men's Christian Association to raise the $21,000 necessary to relieve the association of its indebtedness, and an appeal will be made from the pulpits of the churches shortly. At present there is a foreclosure suit for $15,000 pending against the Y. M. C. A. building. ~Of the $21,000 needed over $9000 has already been subscribed, and the gmspects for Taising the balance are right. —_— Stockton’s Boy Marksman., .
