8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1896 ROBBED OF RIS NEW TROUSERS, J. B. Lankershim of Los Angeles in a Trying Situation, TAKEN WHILE HE SLEPT A North-Bound Pullman Sleeping- Car the Scene of the Outrage. JOURNEYED WITHOUT HIS WIFE Furnished Raiment to Get to His Hotel i in by One of the Train Crew. But for the opportune kindness of a dining-car steward Banker J. B. Lanker- shim of Los Angeles would have come to town in a barrel. As it was, he appeared clad in an unimpeachable Prince Albert coat and a pair of trousers, the shininess of which was only relieved by an occa- sional grease spot, but poorly concealed by the long skirts of the more respectable garment. On Tuesday last Mr. Lankershim packed his grip and departed for the north on the | Southern Pacific train which leaves the | city of Los Angelesat 2. M. It wasthe| first time in his twenty years of married | life that the banker ever traveled from his | southern home without being accom- | panied by his wife. To this circumstance unfeeling friends ascribe the fact that be- fore he reached his journey’s end he had lost his self-esteem, what money he car-| ried, and, sad to relate, his trousers. It is | a saying, commonly heard from the mouths of the “gentlemen of the turf,” arter a particularly unfortunate day of speculation, that they have been bereft of that useful article of wearing apparel, but it remained for the Los Angeles banker to really find himself in that unenviable pre- dicament. There was a most merry and distin- guished party aboard the sleeper in which Mr. Lankershim had engaged a berth. Judge Ross of Los Angeles, ex-Judge Finn, Private Secretary McCabe of Governor Budd’s personal staff, with their respec- tive wives, and other ladies and gentiemen were there. The banker was personally known to nearly all of them. The party lingered until late. The time passed quickly with happy jest and story, and it was close to cockerow when “good- night” was said. Mr. Lankershim had an upper berth at the forward end of the car, and, after dis- robing, he hung his nether garment, in | the pockets of which was over $200 in coin, on a hook at the outer edge of his bed. In the morring when he awoke he startled the other inmates of the car by announc- ing that he had been robbed, not only of his money, but of his tronsers. A thorough search of the car failed to find the missing article$f clothing. and only resultea in the discovery that another | passenger had lost his shoes. Then a lady who had a lower berth opposite the banker, and had been kept awake by sick- ness, explained the whole matter by re- marking that two tramps had been through the car shortly after the train left Fresno, Itseems tbat one of the brake- men of the train discovered a couple of tramps on the roof of the car and forced them to come down. He preceded them on the trip through the cars to the front of the train, The sick passenger had the curtains of her berth drawn slightly aside for the purpose of ventilation, and was startied by the sudden appearance of the rough-looking party, Sbe roticed that the two tramps lingered a moment oppo- site her section, and hastily drew the draperies together, not, however, before she had noticed that one of the men wasa tali fellow wearing a small soft hat, and that he walked with a Iimp. The other was shorter, but being beyond his companion was not so plainly seen. Thbe men lingered only a moment, and as they departed the taller one winked face- tiously at the porter, who at that instant came up. Besides the trousers and money Mr. Lankershim lost & silver cardcase rom the pocket of his coat. The denuded passenger lingered long in his berth that morning, his head stuck ont between the drawn curtains, reviewing the porters and brakemen until he could find one of the Lankershim proportions. The orly man who represented the banker had on a greasy old suit, and he consented to lend the lower half of it to the man of money. Clothed in his spotless Willie boy, his greasy, bag-kneed trousers and toothpick shoes, the gentleman from Los Angeles emerged from the train when it arrived here and at once sought a tailor, He promises to make things unpleasant either for the Southern Pacific or the Pull- man Company, or both, if his losses are not made gooa. MILLIONAIRE OF SLOCAN John M. Harris and His Queer Silver Mine in the Wilds. The Mountains “Go Straight Up and Down"—Big Contract of the Slocan Star. John M. Harris, one of the rising young millionaires of Salmon, In the Slocan min- ing country, fifty miles north of the Amer- ican boundary, is at the Palace. Mr. Harris is the owner of the Reco mine. The Reco is one of the great mines of the new.district. Last winter Mr. Harris shipped 350 cars of ore from the Reco, which brought at the Omaha and Grant smelter §97,000. The ore, he says, averages from 211 ounces to some 800 ounces per ton in silver and from 25 to 70 per cent in lead. “The mine is a true fissure,’” said Mr. Harris last night. “The vein cuts the formation at a right angle and the forma- tion itself is porphyry and slate. *‘Salmon is the terminus of a branch of the Canadian Pacific and a braneh of the Great Northern, so that there are abundant shipping facilities. The Camp Salmon 1s new. I was one of the very first to get there. Iarrived in 1892 and made a lot of locations besides that of the Reco group, which consists of four claims. I located the Omega, the Madison and the Dead 1\[;; group. The latter I have recently sold. “To my mind this part of the Slocan country is the richest in America in silver and lead. Were it not that the property there was so rich we would be in the same condition as the miners of f[daho, Mon- tana and elsewhere; we couldn’t work the mines at all. But as it is, the ore running s0 heavy, we get along first rate and work to a profit. x ; ““The camp lies at an altitude of about 4000 feet, while most of the mines lieata | height of 8000 feet. It is pretty near a straight up-and-down proposition to get to the mines. The Reco lies two miles away from camp, and we have to go up at “THE CALL” RACING CHART. Plclilc Coast Jockey Club.

Harris of the Reco Silver and Lead Mine, in the New Slocan Country, B. C, [Sketched from life by a “‘Call” artist.) an angle of about forty-five degrees. I| bhave only attained a depth of about 300 feet on the Reco and am now employing | forty men. I have not put on a costly | plant and machinery yet, but will do so | this spring. I will also very largely in-| crease the force of men. | I suppose you have heard of the Slocan | Star, which has been much talked about as a big mine. It is a big mine, too, though I will not admit that it is the equalof the | Reco, but its owners have done something lately that will attract the attention of miners over the world when they know of it. They have just made a contract with the Omaha and Grant Smelting Company to furnish the enormous quantity of 1500 tons a day for the long period of eight months. When you think of thatand of the immense amount of ore it will take to fill this contract you will see in a way what a prodigious property they have. The ore in this mine is rich also, and its character is similar to that of the Reco. ‘““What makes this ore so very rich in silver are the sulphides that lie next to the cubes. These sulphides are almost | pure silver, and when you get a carload of the ore there are a good many hundred pounds in it that are simply pure silver. ‘I was a pioneer in Ceeur d'Alene, and bad given a good deal of attention to mining in a theoretical ‘#ay prior to going to Slocan, but T knew almost notuning about it practically, and since going there | I have had to learn it. Had some_rough times of course, but after all when I think of the results which are eminently satis- factory to me, I look upon it all as simply nothing.” James F. Wardner, who was the owner | of the big Bunker Hill and Suliivan silver mine at Wardner, Idaho, was present, and said there was a race between himself and Mr. Harris to get the Reco. *‘That mine was offered to me for fifteen hundred dollars,” said Mr. Wardner, *“and I was going to take it, but Harris got in ahead | of me, and he has to-day undoubtedly one of the greatest mines of the country.” The town of Salmon is about 250 miles from Spokane. Mr. Harris will probably ve here several days. ————— Favors Home Industry. A week or 50 ago the secretary of the Manu- facturers’ and Producers’ Association of Cali- fornia wrote to Governor Budd requesting that he use his influence to see that all public insti- | tutions in preparing their schedules for sup- | | body that the manager haa a gun to kill | structions, refused to ing the following: “As long ago as June5, 1895, Governor Budd wrote the various insti- tutions regarding the use of California prod- ucts. And agamn, and prior to the writing of your letter, the Governor communicated with the yarious State institutions and requested that they insert the following clauses in their schedules for supplies: 'No goods will be ac- cepted that are made hi’ convict labor outside | of the State of California.’ ‘Preference will be | glven 1o goods manuifactured in California, prices and quality to be considered.’ I under- stand these clauses were inserted in the sched- ules for supplies advertised for by both State Prisons.” TIRED OF LIVING. John Cohan’s Matter-of-Fact Way of Shuffiing Off This Mortal Coil. John Cohan, an invalid tailor, blew his | brains out yesterday morning 1n his room at 1026 Jackson street. Cohan has been very ill for a long while, and the inmates of the house in which he | lived were not astonished when they | heard the reports of two shots coming | from his room. | The first shot was a test one, as it were, it being fired at the wall. The second entered the victim's prain. Cohan was a sinzle man, 27 years of age, and a native of Austria. Several days ago he destroyed all his letters and private papers. Written on the sheet on his bed was the foliowing: Oh, T am tired of living! If anything hap- jeus'to me, 1 leave all my property io John tussing. : .. MURDER IN HIS MIND. An Insane Colored Man Waiting to Kill the ‘“Examiner’s’’ Manager. John Williams, a colored laborer, stood in front of the Kxaminer office on Market street and Grant avenue last night with an open knife in his hand. He told every- him, and he meant to have the manager's blood. Policemen F. Cassin and P. Butler came along, and as Williams was evidently- crazy they took him to the Receiving Hos- pital. Dr. Fitzgibbon, acting under in- ive him accommo- dation in the hospital, as all the padded cell, Te occupied. Williams was taken to the City Prison, where he had to be locked up in a cell with other prisoners till room could be found for him in the hospital.

THREE FAVORITES GET PURSES: Dura, the Daughter of Racine, Creates a New Track Record—Ruinart Beat Bueno a Nose. Ingleside track threw open its gates yes- terday for the final meeting of the racing season. The popularity of “ladies’ day” was attested by the well-filled grand- stand; not as large a throng, perhaps, as on some former occasions, but this fact can be attributed to the weather, which was just a trifle too cooling for an ideal racing day. The music, usually served out at the old track in very limited guan- tities, and only on state occasions, added to the pleasure of the time. The sport was excellent. Close finishes characterized the racing, and Judges Wil- sonand Leake were kept busy separating horses that passed the wire in nose fin- ishes. Six events were decided, of which num- ber first choice in the betting ring captured three. Snider carried off the riding hon- ors, landing two of the winning horses, One of the prettiest and most exciting finishes was that at the termination of the four and a half furlongs dash for members of the two-year-old division. Coming from behind, Dura, the game daugnter of the popular old sprinter, Racine, nosed out the 15 to 1 chance Howard 8, covering the distance in 55 seconds, which now stande as the track record for Ingleside. The winning filly was a 6 to 5 favorite in the betting. Another very close thing was the battle royal petween Ruinart and the black horse Bueno at the end of the fifth event on the card over six furlongs. Backed from twos to even money favoritism Ruinart nad raced Toano off hislegs by the time the bend for home had been reached. McClain on the leader now flattered himself that e bad the race well in hand, but was nearly nipped out by Bueno, who came like a ghost the last furlong, and was beaten but a nose. Doice, the sister of Crescendo, performed most disappointingly in the opening four- furlong dash for two-yéar-olds. Sent to the post a6to 5 choice, she showed little speed and finished back among the also ran. Jerilderio, a smart filly by Rathbone, with post odds of 8 to 1 about her, headed Santa Paula in the stretch, winning easily by three lengths in :40%. The latter youngster took the vlace from Laura Burt in a hard drive. Five started in the mile and a sixteenth run, decided under selling conditions with the Elmwood stock farm entry Instigator a prime even money choice. Belle Boyd commanded substantial backing at 5 to 2, as dia Red Glen, the third choice. FParos, the iron gray conundrum, remained at 7 to 1 throughout the betting and proved the surprise party. Belle Boyd mads the run- ning to the bend for home trailed by Instigator, when she had enough. Red Glenn soon passed Instigator and put his friends in jubilant spirits, when Snider brought Paros along fast on the outside, and in a drive between the pair the gray gained the verdict by a head in 1:49. W. D. Randall's string of Montana horses appear to have struck a great win- ning gait of late, and scarcely a day passes that the capable and eflicient handler of Marcus Daly’s string does nou receive the congratulations of his friends. Skalkaho with Fell up started a 2to 1 favorite over the other fourteen starters in the six- furlong spin for maiden three-vear-olds, and after getting away well and falling pack in the bunch again wended nis way to the front and caught the eye of the jx;dges a head before Flecha, 10 to1 shot. After losing several races through being piloted by .incavable jockeys, the good mare, All Smoke, at last gained winning brackets in the final race of the day, over a mile, with fourteen selling piaters toeing the mark. Filashlight backed down from 8 to 5 to evens was in great demand, but had evi- dently slipped his muzzie, for he never appeared overburdened with speed, failing to earn a mark. Two Cheers, an outsider, backed down from 25 to 6 to 1, showed the way into the stretch and looked a probable winner until well on toward the wire, but was outfooted at the end bg All Smoke, who won quite easilv by three lengths. He had second call at2 to 1 in the opening betting, but receded until 3 was laid as the bugle announced po-t time. TRACK AND PADDOCK ITEMS. Remus, the Elmwood stock farm’s entry in the last race, broke down, the black horse limping in on three legs. ‘Widow Jones, the entry of D. J. Tobin in the opening scramble for two-year-old maidens, does not appear to be running in as good form as some days ago. Mr. Tobin was much elated over the victory of his mare America on Wednesday, and as he is a newcomer on the turf it is to be hoped his colors will often be seen in the front. Grandezia led her field into the stretch in the opening event, full of run, and should be close up at the finish about the next time she starts. Dolce made a very poor showing yester- day. She looked slick and glossy as a piece of satin going to the post. Her yearling brother is said to greatly re- semble his illustrious full-vrother, Cres- cendo, in size and conformation. One of the prettiest pieces of horseflesh for many miles around, it is said, is the suckling filly from the fine race mare Princess, claiming as her paternal parent the unfortunate Yo El Rey, who was badly cut down after winning his maiden race, some months ago. The young miss, with her dam, who are the property n* Millionaire Charles L. Fair, have been quartered at the Bay District track. Broad Billow was cut loose in the third event for a mild killing. Without inter- ference the =zelding would have been much closer up at the finish, Judging fiom his performance, the va- cation Rey del Tierra has been enjoying has not materially improved his speed qualities. Ifit had been a sack race he might have stood a chance. { reyhurst, in hisf race, kv:'na nnfort\ml;u n getting away from his post poorly, which militated against his cl;’:nces. e . The Mars Murder Case. The defense in the Mars murder case was short. Dunne, one of the defendants, was called to the stand, and he was asked if he had struck Mare. Dunne said ‘‘no,” and after a few more questions of a similar nature he was taken from the stand, and the defense was closed. He was the only witness. All the afternoon the case was argued, and this morning the jury will be charged and the case will be submitted. NEW TO-DAY. ——e e INFANT HEALTH SENT FREE A little book that should be in every home.
