4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1896. BATTLE FOR A STOCKTON MAID Two Young Rivals in Love Engage in a Vicious Combat. EACH BADLY DAMAGED. Meet Before a Select Crowd to Arbitrate With Their Fists. KNOCE-DOWNS ARE FREQUENT. Spectators Separate the Pair When One’s Wrist Is Broken by a Blow. STOCKTON, CaxL., July 27.—One of the most vicious fist fights that has ever taken place in this city came off in the rear of Higginbottham's stables on Market street yesterday afternoon. The partici- pants were two yvoung men who are in love with the same fair maiden, and who met yesterday on California street and differed as to which was entitled to the major share of her affections. One of them, a 20-year-old son of Brown, the Sutter-street junk-dealer, offered to settle the difficulty with his rival, a yorng man named Gleason, who is employed in the Houser-Haines works ¥ 1 this city, by re- sorting to their fists ’he challenge was vromptly accepted and the rivals repaired to the rear of the stable, where several men gathered about to see that each had fair treatment at the hands of the other. The fight, which was not by rounds, was fiercely contested from start to finish. It was only when neither man was able to strike another blow that the mill ended, with honors even. When the men had stripped for the fray Brown appeared to be much the lighter, weighing only 125 pounds, while his op- ponent weighed over 140 and was stockily built and able to take punishment. At the call of time they went at it bammer and tongsand did not stop except when one wasknocked down, and then they were back at each other in an instant. Neither had any skill in handling his fists and as a result it beoame a bruising contest. Both were determined, but Brown seemea to have the most pluck and energy. Gleason scored the first knockdown and sent his smaller antagonist sprawling with a well-directed blow. Brown was on his feet like a flash and gave Gleason as good as he sent. After fighting for half an hour Brown broke his wrist. He wanted to continune the fight, but Gleason was stagpering about from the effects of the blows received and the spectators stopped the mill, —_— FARMERS LOSE HEAVILY. The Destroyed Woodbridge Dam Cannot Be Kepaired. STOCKTON, CaL., July It is doubt- ful if the Woodbridge dam in the Moke- lumne River, a portion cf which was swept away yesterday, can ever be re- paired so that it will last. It appears that there was no_proper foundation for the piles that weré driven by Contractor Tumelty last year, ana while they were sunk to a depth of twenty-four feet the water eventually undermined and washed them from their positions, Receiver Chapman of the Canal Com- pany arrived in Woodbridge this after- noon. In his opinion the present dam can never be repaired so that it will be of any sccount. He believes a brush overflow dam can be built for about $4000, and will answer every purpose and keep the water in the canals. He will have a conference to-morrow with the farmers and see whether they will be willing to advance any more money to repair the dam. Last year, when the break occurred, those ranch-owners who had acreage under irrigation put up the funds to make the repairs, which cost $5000. There is little chance of their repeating this action. Many will be almost bankrupt. - The canal company issued scrip in payment for rights of way, and this was to be used by the farmers in buying water rights of the company. The company also issued time-checks for labor, and gave serip for materials used. A. H. Cowell of Lodi holds to-day some $20,000 worth of time- checks belonging to himself and others. He said that many of those who counted on getting money on their time-checks were in destitute circumstances, and had it not been for the fact that he was carrying them until the sait now before the United States Circuit Court is settled they would be starving. He holds $6000 worth of the companv’s time-checks, and the rest of the $20,000 is made up of those placed in bis hands by laborers and tradesmen. Receiver Chapman will probably report soon to Judee McKenna the condition of affairs, and the court may order the com- pany’s business wound up. ey TO0 LAY DOUBLE TRACKS. Agreement Reached by Stockton’s Two New Railways. STOCKTON, Cav., July 27.—Chiet En- gineer Storey of the Valley road was in town to-day to examine, in conjunction with Chief Engineer Atherton of -the Coal road, the respective plans of the two com- panies for their tracks on Weber avenue. The object is to have as few crossings as gouible in reaching the water front on tockton Channel. Application was made to the City Coun- cil to-night by both companies to be per- mitted to abandon some of the line of track now laid west of Edison street, for the purpose of laying a double track for each road where there are now only single tracks. By the arrangement entered into to-day between the representatives of the two companies the Valley road will take up its track and move it six feet south, to make room for another track for the Coal road, and also to fix matters so that it can have a line of double track west of Edison street. AT SANTA CRUZ'S CAMP. Christian Endeavor Officers Report a Gratifying Growth of the Order. SBANTA CRUZ, Can, July 27.—The Christian Assembly at. Garfield Park en- joyed a hali-day of actual rest from relig- ious duties of the convention, and entered upon the adjourned session of the En- deavorers’ convention this afternoon with renewed energy. The session was opened by Miss Nettie Booth of N:fit. and prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Martin of Fresno. A song service, led by C. L. Greene of Woodland, concluded the pre- liminary devotional exercises. The business of the session was begun with Rev. E. W, Matbews, editor of the Pacific Christian of San Francisco, in the chair, and Mr. Conley serving as secretary. The committee on credentials—A. R. Cullougk, C.P.Pann and L. W. Teaby- reported forty societies present, repre- sented by 160 delegates. Mrs. H. Shadle, superintendent of the Junior Endeavor, reported 1200 members of that branch. Vice-President Nettie Booth reported 450 Endeavorers in her district. Frank Cracroft, vice-president of the fifth district, gave a flattering review of his work, and others followed with tales of success in the En- deavor field. Mrs. Dr. J. H. Wood of Berkeley ad- dressed the convention on the needs of the mission of that town, which 1s sup- ported by the scciety, and the pastor of the mission, Rev. A. M. Elston, reported upon the hopeful condition of his church work. R. L. McHatton, State evangelist, urged the continued support of the Berkeley mission, and took pledges for $400, which was increased at the night meeting. h The_night meetin Rev.

Three Persons Stung Almost to Death for Disturbing a Hire. SANTA ROSA, Car, July 27.—An at- tempt to remove the honey from a bee- hiveat the residence of Louis Locke yes- terday resalted in three persons being nearly stung to death by the angry honey- makers. R. M. Flannigan started the bees into open warfare first by lifting the hive. Just as he lifted it the bottom fell out and the whole swarm fell upon the unfortunate Flannigan, and he soon dropped unconscious to the ground. Captain Eastman hastened to the res- cue, but was soon glad to beata hasty re- treat. Mrs. Locke now appeared with a bucket of water, and rescued Flannizan after being badly stung herself, but no further attempt was made to secure the honev. LOS ANGELES WARFARE Wong Chee Seriously Wounded by a Member of a Rival Tong. Hop Sing Hatchet Men S-ek Revenge for a Murder of Eghteen Months Ago. Los Axgeres OrricE oF THE CALL 328 SoUTH BROADWAY. } Los AxgELES, CAL., Jury 27. Wong Chee, the leader of the Bing Gong Tong faction in this city, was shot through the jaw to-night by Wing Chew Gow, a highbinder. He is seriously wounded. The shooting was the outcome of a fac- | tional fight which has raged here for years past, but the immediate cause which led to the attempt on Chee’s life was a boy- cott levied by Chee’s company against the See Yips, a tributary of the Hop Sing Tong, of which Wing Gow is a member. There is no doubt 1n the minds of the po- lice that Wing and a companion, Gon On Chong, were hired to kill Chee, as numer- ous attempts have been made on the life of the Bing leader. Chee was walking along Alameda street near Ferguson alley at 9 o’clock when Wing Gow and Gong Chong stepped up in the darkness from either side and closed in on him. Both had revolvers in their hands, and without further ado Wing Gow pointed his weapon at Chee’s head and fired. Chee fell to the sidewalk without a word, ana the two highbinders ran north on Alameda street to Marchessault, where they separated. Officer Matusziewig caught Wing, Lowever, and handcuffed him, while Officer Stephenson arrested Chong in the east part of Chinatown. Chee was hurried to the receiving hos- pital, where Police Surgeon Bryant dressed his wound. The ball entered on the right side, passed through the tongue, almost severing it, and went out on the left side, breaking the jaw in three places. Chee’s face was burned by the powder. The wound was very painful and Chee could not talk, but his assailants were brought before him and he identified Wing as the one who had fired the shot and Chong as the companion of the high- binder. About a year and a half ago Louie Suey, a member of the opposing company, was assassinated, and Wong Chee was ar- rested with Wong Chuey and Wong with Wing, charged the crime. Chuey was sentenced to life im- prisonment, while the other two were acquitted. The fecling between the factions has been intense since then, and recently Chee’s company began a boycott egainst the See Yips, a tributary to the Hop See Tong, and this served to itensify the animosity. TACOMKS BEFORM WAV Chairman Holmes of the County Commissioners Asked to Resign. TACOMA, Wasw., July 27.—If Chair- man Holmes of the Pierce County Com- missioners does pot resign it will not be the fault of the committee of 100 citizens which is hot on his trail. Unexpectedly the committee met this morning and pro- ceeded in a body of eighty-five to the Com- missioners’ office at the Courthouse. President Hudson ana Judge Crowley made addresses, stating that, after sifting the reports about Holmes to the bottom, the committee bad come to the conclusion that in the interests of the people and of good governmen: he should at once re- sign. His former admission that he took money from Janitors Strayer and Young was mentioned. Holmes declared the committee had misunderstood bim and that he had not taked money in the sense thef' insinuated. He asked for time to consuit his lawyer, agreeing to give his answer by 2 ». u, This afternoon the committee received from Aaron Titlow, his lawyer, a defiant refusal to resign, coupled with slighting remarks about the committee and the sug- gestion that it try legal processes for oust- ing him. This the committee now poses to do. A sub-committee has g:;x appointed to secure evidence against Holmes, and it is said that the informa- tion it secures will be laid before the prosecuting attorney. Holmes’ term does not expire for over two years. Custer Post, G. A. of which Holmes is post commander, h ken preliminary steps toward court-martialing him. b Avrrested at Bakersfield.

ALL TRUSTEES CONCUR Friends of the Ousted Professor Charge His Removal to Governor Budd. NEW TEACHERS ARE ELECTED. Professor Childs Named in the List to Fill a Subordinate Position. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 27.—The board of trustees of the State Normal School held an important meeting to-day. Governor Budd and Trustees French, Black, Wil- hoit, Dinkelspiel, Wilson and Angel were present. By request Governor Budd pre- sided over the deliberation. Great inter- est was manifested in the proceedings throughont the day by a large nuber of teachers, who gathered in the building to hear the first reports of any changes which should be made. It was rumored early in the day that Principal Childs was likely to be dropped and a change in several of the department teachers was probable, and this report proved true. The board spent the larger portion of the morning and afternoon in executive session. The following communication | was read and placed on file: To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the San Jose State Normal School: In the light of the following resolutions, adopted by the asso- ciation on June 25, 1896, we as the executive commitiee representing the San Jose State Normal School Alumni Association do respect- fully petition that you consider the sentiment of the same in the case of Wayne P.Smith, holding the chair of psychology and the pas- tory of education: Kesolved, That it is the sentiment of the alumni that merit alone be considered in the election of a teacher, and that no teacher be dropped except for sufficient reasons. Resolved, Taat in the case of the dismissal of any member of the Normal faculty the board be requested to publish the cause of the re- moval on application of the teacher dismissed. We urge further that Professor Smith is a general favorite with his classes, and that we, represeming the consensus of opinion of the earnest graduates of the sehool, consider him eminently fitted as an educator and especially | qualified for the position he now holds. Re- spectfully submitted, JAMES CARSON, President. UTTER. ANTIONETTE KNOWLES. The same organization also presented the following, which was likewise placed on file: To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the San | Jose State Normat School: Because of the fact | that our organization is growing in importance throughout the State, and that weare in urgent need of a larger and permanent office, we re- spectfully petition that you grant the request | embodied in the following resolution adopted [ by the association June 25, 1896 | , Resolved, that the alumni request from the board & permanent office on the first fioor of | this building. We further urge that, if possible, the second room on the left of the main entrance be al- lotted to us. The board a few minutes later went into executive session, which continued until 8:30 o'clock, a recess being taken only long enough for a lunch, which was served in the library by the janitor of the school. ‘When the board met again in open ses- sion, Trustee Wilhoit moved that it pro- ceed to the election of a principal. No nominations were made, and the Gov- ernor refluesud the trustees to prepare their ballots. When the ballots were counted, the first name read was A. H. Randall, and those in the room seemed to comprehend that a change was to be made and p':i“ l;’ro{_eszor Cklr:il%l lwu to be dro; . Dr. Thomas P. Bailey got two vutss, but_three were for A. H{vfilndnll. Governor Budd stated that he declined to vote. { On motion of Trustee Angel, the election of Professor Randall was made unanimous. Dr. Buih{. it was stated, was not a candi- date for the office, and the votes given him was purely comvlimentary. Trustee Black moved that the salary of the principal be fixed at $3400 a year, the same as that received b{ the principals of the other normal schools of the State, in- stead of $3600, as formorl{ pad the princi- pal of the San Jose school. Henry French was re-elected president of the board. The secretary was instructed 1o cast the ballot of the board. Mrs. Wil- ton was re-elected vice-president and Miss Elizabeth Blaisdale secretary of the board. Trustee Wilhoit’s motion that French, Ancel and Dinkelspiel be re-elected as the executive committee was adopted. The board then went into executive session again to confer with the principal-elect in regard to theteachers in the various de- partments. The following teachers were- elected for the ensuing year, with accompanying ealaries: KElizabeth = MacKennon, pre- ceptress, zeagra%hy and history, $1400; Cornelia alker, history and metnod, $1600; Lucy M. Washburn, hysiology and zoology, $1600: | Ettie Kinney, phywloxi and zoology, $1000; R. 8. Halway, chemistry, $2100; Voiney Rattan, botany and zoology, 2000; L. B. Wilson, mathematics, $1800; elen 8.

H. H. Howe, mathematics, $1200; Condit, peda- gogy, $1300; T.L.Bolton, psychology, $2000. C. H. Ashworth was re-elected janitor at a salary of $1800, to provide his own assistants. Stephen A. Jomes of the faculty resigned, Wlf!lu P. Smith was drop and M. E. Dailey was given leave of absence for a year, Professor A. H. Randall, the newly elected principal, was born in Livermore, Me., passing his boyhood there and taking the ordinary course in the public schools of the Pine Tree State. Inthe high school he fitted himself for eou:.fe, entering the Maine Wesleyan University, from which he finished his education, takinga literary and scientific course. ‘He taught four years in his native State, the last year in the Leeds High School. Desiring a wider tield of action, in 1864 he came to Ualifornis, and began, as most teachers had to at that early day, in one of the grammar schools. After two years of this work he was called to the Stockton High School, and held thé position of rincipal of that school for sixteen years. uring - those years his influence was widely feit, as he aided in forming the character of many wbo have honorably filled high positions, our present Governor, James gr.;dd. among the number. m Stockion he went to Santa Cruz, where he was elected principal and city superintendent of schools, He beld these positions but one term, as the trustees of the State Normal School in San Jose, moved by his marked success at Stockton and his wise and conservative work on the State Board ot Education, of which ke was a member for several years, called him to this school and gave him the posi- tion of teacher of physics and mathe- matices, In January, 1884, he began his work in the Normal Sohool which has won for him the position to which he is now elected. Professor Randall brings to the discharge of the new duties that will devo!ve upon him wide experience, ripe scholarship and a strong determination o make the Normal School at 8an Jose not only the best in the State but among the best in the country. Trustee Dinkelspiel, when asked why Principal Childs was dropped, stated that it was in respect to the desire of one whose wishes are generally obeyed. He said he could not call any names, but the fight was an old one and the person mak- ing it a man of persistency in accomplish- !ufirl‘x,ls ends, m this remark it was inferred that the change in the principalship was made at the request of the Governor. It was currently remarked among those familiar with the affairs of the Normal School that the defeat of Professor Chiids for the prin- :;’;;a_llglp of the school was eglirely due to influence exerted u the trustees b; the Governor, e ¥ It was stated that the antagonism of the Governor to Professor Childs has been bit- ter since the action of the latter at the last session of the Legislature in lobbying against and securing the defeat of a pet measure of the Governor’s. This measure, it was claimed, was to place all the Nor- mal schools, insane asylams and other State institutions under one board of con- u-nlb to be appointed by the Governor. This step was stated to be for the pur- pose of practically taking the schools and asylums out of politics. It was boldly asserted that the opposition of Professor Chilas to this measure angered the Gov- ernor and made him a ready listener to the complaints of many teachers who at- tributed their defeat to the former prinei- pal’s influence. The alleged statement by Professor Cbilds several months ago that Governor Budd had called the Normal School grounds in this city a ranch, which state- ment was afterward denied by the Gov- ernor, was also said to have added fuel to the aiready burning fire of enmity. Childs said he could give no reason for his dismissal. He heard Budd was antag- onistic to him on account of the Sacra- mento work which he did at the wish of the trustees. He also heard O. A. Hale had used his iafluence with the Governor against him, t was 1 o’clock this (Tuesday) morning Wwhen the executive session was concluded. When Professor Childs, who remained to the end, saw that he had been given a subordinate position at a salary of $1600 less than he had been getting, he said he would accept. —_— TRAGEDY NEAR SAN JOSE John Carrigan, a War Veteran, Commits Suicide by Hanging. Feared He Would Be Discharged From a M-nial Position and Left Pcnniless. BAN JOSE, CaL., July 27.—John Carri- gan, an old veteran, committed suicide by hanging at the Saratoga saloon, on the Meridian road, near the Sanitarium, this morning. For the past five years Carri- gan has been earning his living by doing odd jobs about the place for Mrs, Schmei- chel, the proprietress. Carrigan had been drinking hgavily for two or three days, and last evening Mrs. Schmeichel informed him that if he dia not let liquor alone she wouid discharge him. About noon to-day the 12-year-old daughter of Mrs. Schmeichel discovered his y hanging from a rafter of a shed in the back yard. It is thought the fear of being discharged and losing his only means of support preyed upon his mind and led him to take his life. .Carrigan was 62 years of age and a_native of New York, He served in the Navy during the Civil War, et FIRE AT SAN JOSE. Spontaneowus Combustion Starts a Blase in a Printing Office. SAN JOSE, Car., July 27.—A fire in the printing office of Brown & Son, followed by an explosion in thesaloon of Leo Schu- nerber on the floor below, caused quite a little excitement in this city shortly before 12 o'clock to-night. Brown’s pressroom bhas been in active operation for many years, and as the place was well soaked with the oil from the presses it is believed that the ire was caused by spontaneous combustion. The explosion resulted from the formation of gas between the floor of the pressroom and the ceiling of the saioon. The damage to the building, which is owned by faseph Colombet, will not ex- ceed $400, as the fire was promptly extin- gnished. Brown’slossconsists of damage :o the presses.

Tracts in Controversy When the Road Was Located Could Not Be Granted. SETTLER WRIGHT'S VICTORY. A Co-Defendant With the Company Is a Gainer by the Ruling. Los AnGrLEs OrFicE oF TaE CALL, 328 SouTH BROADWAY, } Los ANGELES, CAL., July 27. Judge Ross, in the United States Circuit Court here this morning, filed an opinion in the case of the United States vs. the Southern Pacific Railroad Company et al. The suit was instituted by the Govern- ment to have annulled a patent tolands heretofore granted to the #*ailroad com- pany. Among the defendants was C. M. ‘Wright, who alleges title in himself toa portion of the land not only by virtue of a deed from the railroad company but through conveyance from the State of California, to which, he alleges, a portion of the said land was granted and listed by the United Statesas a part of the school land grant. The court holds that whether the State’s claim was valid or not, the fact that it existed at the time of the definite location of the railroad excluded the lands in con- troversy from the category of public lands, to which alone the company’s grant at- tached, which view is conclusive asagainst the eontention of the defendant railroad company. The court holds that Wright was a purchaser in good faith, and that the right and title to the land purchased by him was confirmed in him by the act approved March 2, 1896, and the patent therefore cannot be annulled. The decree annuls the patent to the rail. road company to the south half of section 11, township 3 south, range 9 west, and establishes its validity as far as Defendant Wright is concerned.” The decree is with- out prejudice to the right of the United States to sue for the value of the land thus confirmed to Wright. —_———— BOOMING A HOTEL PROJECT.
