14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1896. MEN AND BIRDS WERE JAILED. An Interrupted Effort to Conduct a Cocking Main. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Secretary Hoibrook = and His Men Break In on the Offenders. TWENTY MEN ARE ARRESTED They Were Ready to Steam Away on a Tug From the Arctic 0il Works Wharf, “The degeneration of cock-fighting in this State is simply appalling. “‘As a matter of fact,if the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals does not keep its hands off, these would-be sports, who don’t know a stag from a cock and who never saw a chicken heeled, will kill the nicest entertainment & gentleman or lady could wish to enjoy.” Con Mooney did not say this in justsuch language, becauso the veteran of the pit is a great deal more emphatic, but such was the opinion he expressed vesterday. The thing is that Mooney, once known as the founder of and first Mayor of “Mooneyville by the Sea,” isa little bit out of sorts. He is bedridden with rheum- atism, and yesterday he had to forego the exquisite pleasure of watching a few chickens cut each other’s throats or stab each other to death with two-inch steel gaffs that look like curved and sharpened darning needles. Mooney and Johnny Maher, who are about equally entitled to the palm or en- alty for initiating the youths of this West- ern slope into the finesse of seeing dumb animals suffer most horrible deaths, had arranged for a big cocking main, to take place early yesterday morning, and to last until either one of the two masters of the sport had won seven battles. There was $500 wagered on the result, a forfeit of $50 being put up as a guarantee of good faith. This affair was the outcome of the cock- ing main held two weeksagoin the Mason distillery outside of the Sausalito town limits. On that ocecasion Maher, repre- senting San Leandro and in fact the entire Contra Costa County, had some thirteen fighting cocks which he pitted against a like number from this side of the bay. San Francisco lost by one battle. Subsequently the Mason boys. whose barn had been used to hold the main, set what was claimed to be an exorbitant rental for its use. The sum being refused them they confiscated all the roosters they could lay their hands on and fought them for their own pleasure or stewed them for their own delectation. Mooney was undismayed by the deple- tion of his barnyard, and when he chal- lenged San Leandro for another main he scoured this City for more gamecocks, which he secured in plenty. These were the birds that were to figure in yesterday’s main, but for events that were certainly unioreseen by many the ri- val fowls were unable to come together, It had been decided that the main should be held somewbere out on the bay, awsy from the reach of the authorities, so the barge Yolo was engaged at a cost of $20, and $30 more was offered to and ac- cepted by the captain of the tiny tug Millie to tow two roosters and the sports beyond the jurisdiction of the local authorities. The start was to be made at as nearly 6 o’clock in the morning as possible, and severa! days ago quiet “'tips’’ that the main was to be held wers given out. Potrero and Presidio sports, young men about town, clerks,wholesale butchers, cap- italists and a select coterie of the jeunesse doree from the Palace Hotel knew all about what fun was in store for them. On toot, 1n cars, buggies, wagons and carriages they began to arrive early at the foot of the Arctic Oil Works pier, near the Union Iron Works. To reach there they had 10 cross the Fourth-street bridge, over the ill-smelling Mission Creek, only to cut through the fouler and denser atmosphere of the dumps farther on. At 10 o'clock there was quite a cosmo- politan assemblage at the end of the wharf, the kid-glove brigade freely mixing up with the riff-raff wnich is bound to find its way into anything like a dog or cock fight. But the chickens, Johnny Maher and Mooney with their satellites, were nowhere to be seen. The little tug Millie was at the end of the wharf, however, with steam up and a hLawser strung to the dilapidated capstan of the Yolo. As a matter of fact, but for this showing the weary crowd would have quit the wharf and given up the pursuit of pleasure hours before in the belief they had been hoaxed. Finally there was a sigh of relief when at 10:30 o'clock Johnny Maher and a couple of his Berkeley stockyard friends NEW TO-DAY.

They drove up in an express-wagon well piled with gunny-sacks, in which were con- tained the cnickens that were to afford the day's fun in exchange for bruises,, cuts and death. The cocks wera speedily transferred to the barge, in the pilot-house of which the gunny-sacks and their;crowing contents- were carefully hung. Then another tedious wait of an hour and a half was had. Mooney had not shown up with his chickens. “Wkere is Mooney?’ That was asked on every side with no answer. The hardened element was more ready to accept the delay in good grace, but the aristocratic contingent was restive. Three or four coupes and carriages still remained within hailing distance, and the young bloods who were expected to do much of the beiting at the pit side were inclined to withdraw. Some of them did leave the place at 11 o’clock, shortly before “Woodsy,” recognized as ‘‘Mooney’s man,” drove up in an express-wagon to announce it wonld be impossible for the ex-Mayor to show aup. It was then learned in an official way that Mooney’s old rheumatic complaint held him to his bed. Mooney, however, was willing to forfeit his $50 put up when the main was made, and, furthermore, he was willing to let his birds fight for any one who cared to back them. But the birds were still in_their barrels far away near the new City Hall, and were hardly available. After a brief consultation among six or seven of the young bloods, Johnny Maher being called in, it was deciaded that the swells drive into town and get Mooney’s chickens, and they departed, leaving the crowd to await their arrival. This move precipitated the trouble that foliowed. What appeared to be a dozen hard working men enjoying a Sunday’s outing with rod and line had been casting for fish all the morning from the stringers of the wharf. Appeararces, however, are deceptive, as these inoffensive fishermen turned out to be deputized officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. They had been quietly waiting to see the cocking main begun so as to arrest all the parties in attendance, and in the distance where they were unobserved were their superior officers, who feared that if seen their well-known identity would undo them. But when the young bloods departed in their carriages and others in the crowd appeared to leave in disgust at the long wait, the deputies on the wharf gave the signal. s n less than five minutes C. B. Hol- brook, secretary of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, Frank Lane of thé State society for the same purpose, F. B. Gibson, Ed Wadham, James Young, J. Cochrane, George Kiddermann, Louis Moulton, Fred Boder, A. R. Fredericks, T. A. Osborn, F. A. Holbrook, N. McCur- rie, George Delmer, W. T. Hooper, H. Mc- Murray and T. J. Coleman put in an ap- pearance, ““We're pinched!” exclaimed an old- timer, who has on more than one occasion })een caught in similar violations of the aw. - “Yo kin shake me down if de cops ain’t got us!” shouted another. There was no use trying to escape. The dozen deputies already on one end of the wharf and the officers coming along in a body from the other left but two avenues of escape, and they were the sides of the pier from which the prisoners might have jumped into the muddy waters of the bay. 'he outlook was not cheerful. “Dey can’'t do a ting to us,” & rusty looking individual said, picking up a fish- ing-pole which a deputy had just dropped- “We’re fishin’ and we ain’t done any cock- fightin’.” This information was somewhat reas- suring, but not quite so. Still the penned- in culprits put cn a bold front and loudly protested their innocence. Secretary Holbrook was undismayed and informed his prisoners they had been laced under arrest for violating section 11 of the Penal Code, prohibiting cruelty to animals. A howl of laughter went up at this de- claration, the prisoners saying they had not even seen apy chickens, let alone making them fight. The officers, however, searched the barge and brought forth the game-cocks, con- fined in sacks, and construed thisevidence as conclusive. Communication was shortly had with tke Southern police station and regular Policemen Whelan and Royston soon reached the wharf with two patrol wag- ons, into which the eighteen prisoners were huddled and taken to jail. In nearly every instance the men gave fictitious names, but were booked for “making arrangements for cock-fighting,"” with bail set $40 each as follows: Frank Conlon, Albert White, Fred Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Edward Ryan, George Spallacy, James Brown, James Rieley, Peter Mooney, John Maher, John Kelly, Daniel Harding, W. J. Burt, Louis Zehe, John Francis Robert Johnson and Henry Sweeney. One amusing incident occurred when a friend of John McCarthy came into the prison to offer bail for him. . Stepping up to the desk, he said to the officer in charge: “Here's your money for Carthy.” “No such man arrested,” was the curt John Mec- reply. ‘Y know better, for I saw him get out of the cart.” McCarthy, who had been in a cell in the lower end of the Jockup, sang out: & “I'm not here! That is, McCarthy isn’t ere.” ‘‘Well, what is your name?” asked Cap- tain Spillane, who enjoyed the sitnation. ““Well, now, you’ve got me this time. If Isay 'm McCarthy they'll know me and josh the life out of me for being caught, and so 1 don’t know who I am. hat name did I say I was?'’ said he, turning to Grover Cleveland, who was his cellmate. “What do Iknow about you,” was the consoling response of Mr. Cieveland, who who was thinking of his own troubles. Some of the would-be sports remem bered their prison names while others had to be identified by their friends and the arrest- ing officers. However, they all got bail and seemed very indignant at the treat- ment they received. They all protested in the strongest terms their ignorance of cock-fighting,and produced the following ticket to show that they were simply. going on a Sunday excursion: First grand excursion around the bay Sun- day, August 2, 1896.

Tickets .round trip), $2. ‘While the prisoners arrested for trying to go on an inrocent Sunday excursion were being conveyed to the police station the young bloods who had driven off to call at Con Mooney’s place made satisfac- tory arrangements with that gentleman and were back at the Arctic Oil Works wharf at 1 o'clock in the afternoon with his thirteen chickens all snugly tied in bags and stowed away in the carriages. In the meantime the owner of the tu and the barge was fretting at the loss o% his $50 for their use. The money had not been paid him as yet and he had been at considerable outiay. When the bloods came to the wharf with Mooney’s chickens he told them that the Maher faction and his chickens had become weary and had gone back uptown. He declared likewise that under mno cir- cumstances would he rent his tug and barge to cockfighters, as he did. not pro- vose to violate the law. This was a sore disappointment, and threatened the culmination of a good d"g,! sg)qrtl;z happie, h ne bright chappie, however, suggested that the tug nnJ1 barge be on‘glg‘ fora few hours’ spin on the bay for *‘a bit of fresh air.” The bargain was concluded, and not all the xxnen who !med uui: in the morning to witness a cocking-main left their warm beds in vain. s TETERHIS WhD REGSTERED ALY, Thei Give a Good Example to the Tardy Young Men.

The Run to Ukiah From San Francisco on the S. F. and N: P. Railroad. People who desire to get a beneficial | change of air and scene by a few hours’ travel and at minimum expense can do no better than take a trip over the San Fran- cisco and North Pacific Railroad between this City and Ukiab, in Mendocino County. The journey takes five hours, and every mile of the entire distance is a most inter- esting panorama of charasteristic Califor- nia scenery, Trains on this road leave the City early in the morning, reaching Ukiah, the end of the road, at a Jittle after the noon hour. 1f desired the iraveler can take the train back in an hour and reach San Francisco before dark, making the entire distance in daylight. he scenery along this road is of the greatest variety, For miles orchards and grain fields line the track, which gradu- ally give place to the lumber industry and fields of bright, green hops, that in their present condition make as beautiful a pic- ture as one could desire to look upon. Through the Russian River Valley the scenery is a continuous change between wild grandeur and peaceful pastoral coun- try. Ononeside of the track there will be chffs and crags that rise hundreds of feet and on the other wide stretches of bottom land covered with rich ranches surrouncded by plentiiul harvests of the many products of one of the most pro- ductive valleys in the world. —_——————— La Gauloise. The French residents of this City.enjoyed themselves at Harbor View yesterday at the annual picnic of the Gauloise Bociety. EX-POLICE CAPTAIN JOHN SHORT. terday at a meeting of politicians in- terested in timely registration. Mr. Dia- mond was 100 years of age last May and his first vote was cast for John Quincy Adams in November, 1824. Captain Short stated that he was 89 vears of age cn his last birtnday. He cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson in November, 1828, just -ixt‘i-eigm years ago. “When I went to the registration office yesterday,” said Captain Short last even- ing, “the clerk told me that one older man had been there. I said I knew who it was. ‘Mr, Diamond,’ I said, and I wasright. He voted four years before I did.” The veteran captain became reminiscent as he looked back over his three score years and eight as a voter and he related some interesting incidents that formed part of his experience. “I was 21 years of age theday I first voted,” he continued. “lt was in the ‘Bloody Sixth’ Ward in New York. At that time I looked very youngand the officers of election commented on my juvenile sppearance. That’s the time the emocrats came into existence. Before it was Republicans and Whigs. A Clay man challenged my vote on the ground that I was not 21. ‘How old are you?' the judge asked. ‘I’m 21 to-day,’ I answered. As there used to be three days’ elections then in New York I was passed without challenge. ‘He could vote to-morrow,’ said the Clay man. “Why was it called the Bloody Sixth? The ward got that name in1833. A Demo- crat was running for Mayor of New York. ‘Word was passed around that they were bringing ‘repeaters’ from Philadelphia. General Jonathan D. Stevenson, who died here not long since, went to Philadelphia and sent up so0 many ‘pipe-layers,’ and so many more ‘pipe-layers,’ and so on. They were the repeaters, and it was through them the term ‘pipe-laying’ originated in olitics, A committee of 100 was organ- ized to protect the W hig voters of the Sixth Ward. Our boys met that night and got a ‘committee’ to stand them off. €Ve bought three cartloads of firewood that was then used in New York—heavy, chunky blocks—and we dumped them at convenient points. When the Whig com- mittee of 100 came round the wood began to fly and the Whigs flew before it. Of course, nobody was killed exactly, but there were a great many heads cut. But it wasn’t much_trouble, the hospital was quite close—in Pearl street—and the cut heads were dressed there. After that it was the ‘Bloody Sixth.’ “From my first vote till the elaction of Lincoln, in 1860, I voted the Democratic ticket. Yes, sir, I was a redhot Democrat that never crossed a t or dotted an i. How’s that?” und the captain enjoved the old saying of his political opponents of long ago, . 5 “I voted for Douglas, and when Lin- coln was elected I was thrown out of office—the San Francisco Postoffice. After the wara antUnion meeting was held at the triangle at Bush and Market streets. Some friends of mine said to me: ‘Short, it’s all over now, we are going to reorga- nize the Democratic_party; come with us to the meeting.” They represented the Southern end of the party. A Judge (I have forgocten his name), who was one of tue speakers, said that he was a Unionist, but the victory struck deep in him. Then Isaid ‘The Unionist is struck deep in me and 'm going to stay there.’ “I left that meeting and ever since I've voted the Republican ticket. After the election of Taylor in 1848 [ came here, I left New York January 80, 1849, and ar- rived in San Francisco after a journey of 173 days from New York. My mining ven- tures were not a success and I came back to San Francisco from the mountains. Taylor appointed a new Postmaster for San Francisco, a Mr. Moore. On his ar- rival here he found three or four clerks playing cards in the Postoffice. He thought that a terrible thing. Of course, he was a straight down-Easter, so when I met him I received an appointment in the local Postoffice. This kept me out of poli- tics, though I took an aclive interest in my own party.” ptain Short is an ardent McKinley man. $ “In November McKinley will be elected, I believe, for the ple are going over to his side rapidly,” he said. “Regarding the money question, this country cannot go against.the world.” Burglar Arrested.

THE AMERIAY O How Benevolent Uncle Sam Looks After His Welfare, Boys Taught How to Till the Land and the Giris How to Cook and Sew. The character of the North American Indian, like that of the heathen Chinee, is peculiar.

The teachers of Pacific Coast Indians will convene in this City to-day, These general meetings were established by the present Superintendent of Indian Schools, Dr. W. N. Hailmann, in 1894. It is due to the interest and courteous co-operation of Superintendent of Schools Madison Babcock and the Board of Iduca- tion, that San Francisco was selected for this year's meeting in preference to sev- eral other cities, The first meeting will occur at the hall of the Girls’ High School this evening at § o’clock.

The most of them are trying to make their living by farmin, and Uncle Sam allots, when possible, 1 acres to every man, woman_and child re- siding on a reservation. Field matrons (white women) teach the squaws house- bold duties and the men are instructed in farming. “Each Indian school is supposed to have connected with it a farm, and if practicable a dairy also. The boys are traiued to become farmers, carpenter: blacksmiths, tailors, shoemakers, etc., an the gir!s are taught sewing and cooking. “‘The Indians in the United States num- ber, say, 250,000 and the schools 250. The children of school age number 60,000, of whom 40,000 attend school.

HAGGIN WILL NOT RACE Henry Byrnes Will Have the Horses Ready for the State Fair Meet. A VERY FORMIDABLE STRING. Exodus of Horsemen to the Petaluma Fair—Many Horses Quartered at Sacramentc—Notes. A big deal in horseflesh has recently been consummated that will prove.a start- ling surprise to the turf world. George Rose, the leviathan California bookmaker, at present booking on the Eastern tracks, has purchased from Rancho del Paso the pick of the blue-blooded stock on the famed ranch eligible to race, and the pop- ular colors of Millionaire Haggin, that have been carried to victory so many times by the illustrious Salvator, the peer- less Firenzi and many other mighty racers, will probably not be seen on the California turf the coming winter after all. Designing eyes have been cast upon the royally bred lot by different wealthy horsemen, but the bookmaker has secured the prize. It is learned that twelve of them, all two-year-olds, have been entered in the rich stakes to be decided during the coming State Fair, as well as a very prom- | ising three-year-old filly by Torso. Such superb stallions as Salvator, imported Maxim and imported Midlothian are rep- resented among the animals disposed of. Henry Byrnes will handle the string. “Mr, Rose is not & new comer to the turf. In the past his rose and white colors have been shown up on Nephew, Boreas, Ger- aldine, Ruinart, Tiger and others. The latter colt, a son of Three Cheers, prom- ised to develop into astake borse, but un- fortunately broke down after winninga stake in very impressive fashion and had to be retired. As the horses sporting the widely known and popuiar penciller’s colors were invariably close up to the coin, his present purchase will be a welcome addition to the California turf. Tod Sloane, the diminutive jockey who wears a No. 2 shoe and a No. 8 hat, and who by the way is meeting with consider- able success in the far East the pres- ent season where good lightweights are scarcer than freckles on a watermelon, did the major portion of the riding for Mr. Rose last season and no doubt will be re- engaged for the coming winter campaign. There are now nearly 250 horses quar- tered at the Sacramento track, and early morning workouts will soon be the rule as the time approaches for the opening of the fair., Among the stables there with strings of four or more horses are those of George Rose, Joe Harvey, Al Morine, John Humphrey, Nick Hall, Jim Neill, Dick Ledgett,W. L. Stanfiela, T. Boyle, the big Spreckels string, El Primero stable, William Murray, Charles Fair, Wilbur Smith and many lesser lights. Archie Btephenson recently arrived at the track from Montana, bringing with him Blue Bell, Faro, Normandie and others. Jockey Chevalier is at Sacramento in the.employ of Joe Harvey and Charles Fair, and itis said the California Jockey Club folks consider favorably the move looking to his reinstatement. Cuddy, the steeplechase rider who was injured somme months ago at Ingleside track, had his collar-bone fractured while schooling a *‘green” jumper one day last week at Sacramento. The grand list of stakes offered by the Pacific Coast Jockey Club for its coming winter meeting appear, to have caught the fancy of horsemen with their rich induce- ments, and the new club can look for a surprisingly large list of _entries. The California Oaks, the California Derby and the Spreckels cup will certainly become the classic features of the far Western turf. Edward Mackiyn, said to be a very clever boy in the saddle, who has been training the horses of a wealthy Burlin- game horseman for some time past, in- tends getting down, to riding weight and will be seen in the saddle at the State Fair. < Beginning this week with the Petaluma fair, which place hangs up a number of purses for the bang-tail division as well as for the light harness horse, there will be an exodus of ‘‘circuit chasers” from the City. Petaluma is holding out very tempting inducements to horse-owners and the fair is an assured success. Al Leach will attend to the auction pool- selling and John Humphrey will chalk up fat prices for the book bettors. The full programme of events to be decided has already appeared in these columns. Immediately following Petaluma the Glenn County Agricultural Association will hold its annual fair at Willows. Always one of the best towns on the cir- cuit Willows this year promises to sur- pass in the excellence of the sport offered any of its race meets in the past. W. V. Freeman, the association’s hustling and energetic secretary, reports a splendid lot of 9mrieu for the different trotting and pacing events, among the lot being the fast side-wheeler W. Wood (2:07), Waldo J (2:08), Baywood, Colonel Benton, Ruby M, Loupe and Javelin. The trotting por- tion of the programme is well represented by such excellent performers as Home- ward, Chico, Jasper Ayers, Gallette, Nut- wood Wilkes and Charivari. A nnmber of substantial purses will undoubtedly be hung up for the runners also. W. P. Mc- Nair has been engaged to do the starting. —_— Injuries Received on a Tandem.
