Justice of the Peace Kerrigan had occa- sion yesterday to call in a deputy sheriff to prevent his court being turned intoa shouting-room by an obstreperous attor- ney, and only managed to keep from com- mitting the offender to jail for contempt of court by a remarkable display of con- trol over his temper. J. J. Coffey, an attorney, appearea for his daughter, to whom he had assigned a | claim for a fee. After having asked the same question over a dozen times and being admonished by the court that he must cease he became noisy and fell into a.wrangle with the at- torney on the other side. The court’s pa- tience finally becoming exhausted he said : “Mr. Coffey, sit down; you are making too much noise. Sit down.” “[ won’t sit down, and [ will stand as ong as I please,” vociferated Coffey, as he glared at the Judge. A whispered word to an attorney soon brought Deputy Sheriff Dick O’Connor, who is as big as the Siamese giant and much broader. Coffey cast one sidelong glance at the stalwar: ‘“dep.”’ and then | subsided for the rest of the afternoon, not even venturing to talk above an ordinary tone of voice. e e New Oficers Elected. ting of the Austrian-American Mc- 1b at 25 Turk street last evening the At & mes: following officers were elected: President, P.

To the hardy pioneer who rounded Cape | | Horn in the sailing vessel and arrived in | San Francisco in the fall of ’49 or the | spring of '50 the oid boundary lines of | dent. and should be made clean and acceptable to all decent people. With this object in view E. W. Williams, a Western Addition boy barely of age, conceived theidea of associating with him- self a sufficient number of respectable boys who would form a political clubquite different trom the political clubs which had been 1n existence in other portions of tne City where the principal qualifications for membership were the quantity of bad liguor that each member could consume and the number of fights he could take part in on a given night when Republican clubs had to be stuffed ana captured in the | interest of the dear old party. No such qualifications were required from the applicants who sought admission to the Bear Club. The young men of the Western Addi- tion coincided in the views of Mr. Wil- liams, and when a sufficient number had been got together in 1885 the originator had the club formed, and located its head- uarters at the corner of Fillmore and ost streets, where it has since remained. While Ed Williams was the originator and the all of the Bear Club, yet with his usual mo iesty he has never been its presi- He always with that magnanimity which he posse: encouraged some young {riend of his to the front, contenting him- self with cccupying the responsible posi- tion of chairman of the executive commit- tee, from which the success ot the club has emanated, and to which the high standing of its members and its influence as a Re- publican organization are dne. The first officers of the Bear Club were: President, E. J. Casey; secretary, Charles A. Balderman; treasurer, Samuel Val- lean: executive committee—E. W. Wil- liams, Franklin Bull, George Allen, Frank | Grimes and R. O’Connor. The opening night given by the club wa: attended by some of the best-known y ladies in the Western Addition. se for the first time in their lives en- tered the door of a political gathering, and spent a most enjoyable night with their young friends.

Yerba Buena remain indelible | memory. To him the wonderful progress of pav- | ing with cobbles the few streets that then formed the principal portion of this City was sufficient to impress him with the | march of progress made by himself and | those who thought as he did. The old signal-yard displayed on Tele- graph Hill which announced the arrival of | a seagoing and incoming ship was all- sufficient. This with a marked increase | in the number of goats and chickens seen | browsing on the sun-dried rocks of the southeastern brow of this observatory | convinced him that there was a great | | tuture in store for the City of the West. With all of those things he paid no further attention nor did he bestow a thought upon any section west of Powell street. The *‘old comer,” with his convivial as- sociations and with the hooked end of his imported hickary thrown carelessly over | his left forearm, the better to enable him | to use his right hand in keeping flies off the free-lunch table, was content to enter- tain his associates with long-winded sto- | rie s of the days of his youth, spent on the | plantation where negroes were chattels and where it was looked upon as an act of deep degradation for a white man to labor at anything more severe than floggine a | disobedient slave who failed to do the task set out for him by his master. srad While'thus remunerating and entertain- ing those about him with tales of the blessings to be had in the sunny South where Democracy flourished and where it is a misdemeanor to be a Republican ,San | Francisco was growing not in the direc- | tion of Telegraph Hill or North Beach, but westward, out toward the great ocean: and with this growth there were streets ! heing made and hills pulled down to fill up the hollows on which houses had been built, and in those houses men and women moved. And as it follows in_all respecta- ble locations the building of houses and their occupancy meant an increase in the population which in time necessitates the | building of school houses and the educa- | tion of the children. | } Now this is just what took ?lace in San | | Francisco after the spring of ’50 and dur- | | ing the period in which our estéemed Dem- | ocratic_friend was dreaming of what a | #rand Democratic State Califoruia would ! an be when sufficient Southern people settled on its soil. In the meantime, however, the indomit- able Yankee was climbing the Rocky | | Mountains with teams, and right behind him was coming the puffing and snorting iron horse drawing not one wagon but | | hundreds of wagons, each wagon carrying | its load of New Englanders bound for San Francisco. These finally arrived, but, un- like their neighbors from the South with | the hooked hickory, they settled in the ‘Western Addition, built their homes and sent their children to the public schools. At those schools the youth were in- structed that labor was honorable and | idleness * produced misery and crime. | These being part of the Republican doe- trine the young men as they grew up to | manhood carried the lessons taught them in their youth into practice as soon as op- portunities pre-ented themselves. Of such young stock are the members of the “Bear Club.” These young San Fran- cisco boys not caring to follow in the foot- steps of their fathers in so far as remain- ing politically indolent from election time to the recurring occasion, or:anized a Re- publican Club in the Western Addition and one that should be contiruous, in | down for members. | good moral standingin the City could pre- | Comb, possessed those qualities | for President. Bear Club established for themselves a rep- utation for respectability that made them favorites all over the City, and which brought to their secretary applications for membership from some of the leading local Republicans, all of whom considered it an honor to be enrolled on the books. There were no geograpiical lines laid Any Republican of sent his application, and if he went through the ordsal of an investigation and escaped without being hit with a blackball he was admitted. There is no other club in San Francisco out of which so many of its members were rewarded with public office as this. Among some of the names thus honored are found Mayor A. A. Sanderson, Con- gressman E. ¥. Loud, District Attorney, State Senator and Insurance Commis- sioner J. N. E. Wilson, County Clerks General W, A. Davies and W. J. Ruddick, City Recorders E. B. Reed and Alexander Russell, Supervisors Samuel Valleau, S. S. Morton, William Wilkinson and J. B. Curtis, with State Senator Dan Everett. Meanwhile the brains and originator of the club and the man through whom all those have received political favors, contented himself with a clerkship until the prusent time, when he was rewarded with the oftice of chief clerk of the Jus- tices’ Corrt. But this is not his only reward from his young associates, for no man is held in higher esteem by those who know nim than is the genial and gentlemanly Ed Williams of the Bear Club. Polite and obliging, with a kind word for all, yet a leader of men and an organizer of no mean ability, he and his club will be heard from before William McKinley takes his seat in the President’s chair., As it is with Ed, "so it is with those who assist him in the management of the club. No young man can make more friends in a given period and retain them for a lifetime than George 8. McComb, the secretary of the club. His modesty has kept him indoors, for he has not yet pre- | sented himself to tbhe admiring public. But those rare gifts are inherited, not be- stowed. McComb came by his genial manner through legitimate possession, for his now departed father, General John Mec- in a marked degree as compared with the majority of men, The executive officers of the club at present are: President, T. J. Collins; vice- president, H. C. Firebaugh; secretary, George S. McComb; treasurer, Oscar Tolle; executive committee—E. W. Wil- irams, W. W. Wade, R. W. Roberts, John ‘Williams and Daniel T. Cole. The club will turn out to-night and join in the ratification of William McKinley The drill corps will make its appearance for the first time in 1896, and will no doubt give a good account of itself between now and next November.

The Name of the Deceased Was Signed With a Lead- Pencil. ATTORNEYS TAKE PRECAUTIONS The Southwest Ccrmer of Pine and Sans~me One of the Pieces of Real Estate. George R. Williams and Stephen Rob- erts, as attorneys for Mrs. Nettie Craven, had two deeds recorded yesterday to prop- erty worth over a million dollars, which Mrs. Craven claims James G. Fair gave her before his death. The intimation was made some time ago that Mrs. Craven had deeds to valuable real estate, but the nature of the property was not made known. The deeds were the ordinary printed blanks, the insertions describing the prop- erty and the signatures being made in lead-pencil. Both purported to have been made out on September 8, 1894, and were acknowl- edged by Notary Public J. J. Cooney on September 27, 1894. Both witnessed that through love and affection and a desire to provide for her future maintenance, James G. Fair had | made a gift to Mrs. Craven of the property | described. The first deed was for the lot on the southwest corner of Pine and San- some streets, 227:6 feet on Pine and 131:6 feet on Sansome. This property is worth over $400,000. The other deed was for a half block of land bounded by Eleventh, Potter and Mission streets, 550 feet on Mis- | sion street and 275 feet on Potter street. Mr. Fair paid $550,000 for this tract in 1891 Attorneys Williams and Roberts exer- cised the greatest care over the documents while in the Recorder's office, sittine by Deputy Joseph Cooney while he copied | the deed and taking possession of them | immediately on their being finished. Tney gave as a reason for this action that they feared that the pencil insertions in the blank might become effaced it the deeds ; were left in the oftice and handled by the | officials. The searchers of records, who desired to get the main features of the deeds, were not permitted to touch them at all, their only inspection of the documents being while they were held in the hands of the attorneys. The Recorder was no less careful regard- ing his portion of the transaction, more pre- cautions being taken than with any docu- ments ever recorded in his office. Not only were the verbiage and inser- tions of the deeds copied, but also the num- bers of the practitioners’ blanks, and even the printer’s figures at the bottom of the blanks. When the work was all done the book in which the deeds were recorded was locked up in the safe to be sure that no accident happens to it. George R. Williams, the attorney, who personally had the deeds recorded, was seen —but from eminent pers this time: You see what we this ourselves more cisely, because we are speaking direct to you, men and women of San Francis- But we are “interested’’; we have tea to sell; and our tea is pure; and what co. is more natural than our Oown purposes ? kill you.

He finally, however, gave the history of the documents so far as he was acquainted with it. About three weeks afier Senator Fair's death, and immediately after the Good- fellow will had been stolen, he was ap- proached by Stephen Roberts, an old- time friend of his, who asked him some hypothetical guestions relating to the pencil will and pencil deeds, as has since developed. As the result of this consulta- tion, Mrs, Craven was introduced to Mr. Williams. Mr. Roberts’ acquaintance with Mrs. Craven resulted from the fact that Bir. Roberts and Mrs. Craven were both school teachers. Mrs. Craven at this interview informed Mr. Williams of the existence of both the will and the deeds, and virtually re- quested him to act as her counselor in the matter. At that time the will had been sent to New York by Mrs. Craven, and he advised her to produce it before the Probate Court at the earliest possible day, and it was this advice of Mr. Williams that caused the sensational introduction of the pencil testament into the Fair will controversy. In response to questions Mr. Williams made tue following statement: “I went out to the City Hall in San Francisco yesterday with Mr. Roberts to have the deeds recorded. I exercised great caution in this, as the documents were in pencil and I was fearful of some of the writing being rubbed and made illegi- ble or possibly mutilated. 1 was appre- hensive also that they might be stolen, as was one of the Fair wills. For these rea- sons I did not care to let the originals go | out of my hands.”’ When asked in whose custody the docu- ments are at the present time Mr. Wil liams declined to state, but inferentially it was learned that they were in his pos- session. “Were there any other witness2s to the signing of the Ceeds besides Mrs. Craven, Notary Cooney and Senator Fair?” was asked. “Yes, sir.”” *“What are their names?”’ “That I must not say.” *“You know who they are?”’ “Oh, yes.” “Did Senator Fair sign the deed in the presence of Notary Cooney ?”" “That I cannot say, but it would not | have been necessary to make the documengs legal. Any one might have written Fair's name to the documents, but his acknowl- | edgment of it before a notary as his | name would have made it his legal signa- ture. ButIam sureitis Mr. Fair's sig- i nature. At the ‘time the deeds were exe- | cuted Senator Fair was living in the Lick House, and Notary Cooney had lLis office | in that building, with O'Farrzil & Co., I | believe.” 2 | “Did Mr. Coor.ey state to you whether or not Mr. Fair signed the deeds in his pres- ence?” I did not ask him that question.” “As the signatures are in pencil, the same as the body of the documents, is it ! not fair to presume that they were al-| ready signed when presented to Notary Cooney for acknowledgment? Had they been signed before the notary, would not ink have been used?”’ “Yes; I think, for the reason mentioned, | that the deeds were signed before being | presented to the notary.” ‘“Are there any other deeds yet to be re- | corded ?” “I can’t say.” ! “Why were the deeds not put on record | earlier, instead of waiting all this while?’ “For the same reason that she hesitated about filing the pencil will; she did not want the notoriety that she felt would result. The property was perfectly safe. No one could sell or steal it or make away with it.”’ “What was the reason of her putting it | on record at this particular time 2" “Nothing special. But the documents | are in pencil and might become injured or | destroyed. So the deeds were put on rec- ord to provide against any such mishap.” | “When did you first actually see the deed ?” ; New York newspa- mean; we might say directly, more con- that we point to and bad for you.

That record briefly describes the property, gives the name of the grantor | and grantee, also the date when the sig- natures were acknowledged. There is no question in my mind about the matter. Everything is as straight as a shingle.”’ Mr. Williams stated further that the property was valued in the neizhborhood of $1,250,000. Early in the evening a call was made at 310 Guerrero street, at the residence of Mrs. Janet R. Craven, the grantee men- tioned in the deed, but Mrs. Craven was not at home, and the ingenuous maid- servant neither knew where her mistress was nor when she would return, but she did not think Mrs. Craven was trying to dodge reporters. TELLER'S SILVER BOLT, The Republicans of California Will Stay in the Party. | Republicens of San Francisco generally regret that Senator Telier of Colorado has decided to leave the party on the silver is- | sue. They entertain the view that he l wonld be able to accomplish more good for | the cause of bimetalli-m in the Republican party than outside of the organization. It cannot be ascertained that many Republi- | cans in California will follow his example. It is said that a petition was in circulation | yesterday with the purpose of getting | the signatures of voters to sustain Teller’s | bolt, but that only a few signatures were | secured. C. F. Curry, County Clerk, was asked last evening if he had heard of any de- sertions from the Republican ranks in consequence of Teller’s course, and he re- plied that he had not. The platform of the Republican convention demanding protection for all industries will bring t | the party many more votes than will be | lost by the withdrawal of Teller. Protec- tion is really the leading question. The | Democrats have got to work up an issue | of some kind to keep the party together, | and the declaration for free silver may be | made at the Chicago convention. This | platform will promise the farmers every- | thing. Republicans believe in silver, but otker issues take precedence at this time. General Robert A. Friedrich will ear- nestly support the Republican National ticket and the platiorm of the party, but | he is of the opinion that energetic work | must be done to carry California. “I do| not know,’” he said, “*how strong the senti- | ment is in California for the free coinage | of silver, but I know that many Republis cans favor bimetallism. In my judgment Teller made & mistake in withdrawing | from the party. McKinley and Hobart | will be elected, but we must prepare at the | start for a hard battle in California.” | Henry N. Gray did not believe that any | considerable number of California Repub- | licans would leave the party in conse- | quence of the attitude of Senator Teller. | Joseph Simonson fancies that Teller's | defection will cut but a little figure in | party caloulations. Hesaid: “I have not heard of any Republicans in S8ah Francisco who are going to leave the party on ac- count of the si'ver question. his talk of the Democrats nominating Teller is idle. The Democrets will not come to Teller. He must go to them. I fancy that the sil- ver Senators have been looking to their own interests in the move they have taken. Perhaps they imagine that the | chance of proloneing their service in the | NEW TO- | ATTENTION, A grand meeting for the pur- tions made at St. Louis will be | held at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Saturday Evening June 20.

He remarked: *‘Silveris anindustry, the same as wheat, and the way to protect it is to sustain the principles of protection for which the Republican party declares. The Colorado Senator should have re- mained in the party to secure protection for other indust: . It was selfish.to leava because silver not protected in the manner that he desired.” Grove P.
