16 NEAGLE AND HIS EUN N COUR. The “ Vigilance Committee” Takes Up the Col- lins Case. ARRESTED AND BAILED., The Southern Pacific Gun-Fighter May Explain Some Things. { DAVE THREATENED CULBRETH | It Transpires That Mr. Neagle Has a Habit of Showing His Gun to Local Editors. David Neagle, the Arizona gun fighter, who killed David Terry, who bumped the head of A. J. Collins against the Southern Pacific building and who qui- cific Company is able to make life inter esting to him by sending him ont to pro- tect an express train when a tip thata train is to be held up is received. This is what R. E. Culbreth, editor and proprietor of the Argus, said yesterday: “My life has beon threatened on two occasions by Dave Neagle. At the time of the killing of Terry I was roasting Neagle rather severely in my paper. He met me one day on the street and said that if I didn’t stop it he would kill me. *‘He also at about that time went into the office of A. B. Henderson, then manag-* ing editor of the Examiner, and threatened his life if the paper did not cease its com- ments_upon his actions in the Terry tragedy. Neagle seems to bear a special antipathy to newspaper men. “The second time that he threatened me was some six monrhs ago. Inthe Argus 1 nad been denouncing the policy of the Southern Pacific Company. This angered Neagle, who approached me in an in- sulting way at the corner of Postand Kearney streets and declared if I contin- ned my attacks upon the company he would ‘cut my throat from ear to ear.’ *Thatis a favorite expression of his. I paid no attention to his threats and have had nothing to do with him since.” AL St | THE ARREST OF NEAGLE. | Surrendered Himself After a Tip and Gave Ball. At 10:30 o’clock A. M. yesterday Mr. Col- lins and Mr. Reed appeared in Judge Low’s court provided with a complaint charging Dave Neagle with battery on A. J. Collins and with disturbing the peace. Collins swore to the complaint and Reed held a few moments’ consultation with the Judge at his desk. Judge Low issued the warrants and decided to name the or- Charles Wesley Reed, Attorncy for A. J. Collins, Who Is Prosecuting Dave Neagle on a Battery Charge. etly threatemed the life of James H. Barry, the editor of the Star, the other day, has been arrested for his assault on Collins. | His arrest on the mere charge of bat- | tery is the peaceable and conurvnnvei action of the ‘‘vigilance committee’ | which has been talked about ina very general way for several days. It has developed that Mr. Neagle has been in the habit of thinking that San ¥rancisco is in Arizona. E. E. Culbreth, editor of the Argus, says that Neagle has threatened his life on account of mewspaper criticism, as Neagle threatened Editor Barry of the Star the other day, and Mr. Culbreth is authority for the information that Nea- gle, shortly after the killing of ‘Terry, similarly threatened A. B. Henderson, then the managing editor of the Exam- iner. The Potice Court trial of David Nea- gle for his street assault on A. J. Col- lins, in supposed protection of H. E. Huntington, promises to be an extremely interesting one. David Neagle was arrested yesterday for that assault on A. J. Collins, the dis- charged Southern Pacific employe, and his arrest was the result of the action of the bodv of citizens which has been darkly hinted at as a “vigilance committee.” There is plenty of confidential evidence that after Neagle's threatening assault on James H. Barry, editor of the Star, plenty of citizens were ready to requestof Mr. Neagle his absence from the City, but Mr. Barry opposed vigorously any summary action. The result was that a number of citizens, among whom W. M. Cubery, the printer, was prominent, decided to prose- cute Neagle in the regular courts of justice for the assault upon Collins which brought forth Barry’s comments offensive to Neagle. Charles Wesley Reed was employed to prosecute the case. Collins yesterday swore to a Police Court complaint and now the right of David Neagle to bump Colling’ head against a buttress in behalf of H. E. Huntington will be settled in a lower court of justice. Mr. Neagle is an extremely interesting man. Forinstance, it turns out that ed- itors are his frequent food—that is, San Francisco editors. Mr. Neagle 1s doomed to a rather prosaic life in serving the law and claims departments of the Southern Pacific Company, in digging up witnesses in damage claims at $150 a month, and it is only occasionally that the Southern Pa- B NEW TO-DAY. (Uticura WORKS Wonders dinary bail of $100 on each charge. Some grapevine telegraph line soon con- veyéd the information of what had been done to the yellow “knockery,” and ata little after 1p. m. Mr. Neagle appeared at the Central Police Station, accompanied by an assistant claims attorney of the Southern Pacific Company, formally sur- | rendered himself, deposited $200 bail and was released. The case will probably be set for trial to-day. This will be an unusually interesting Police Court case. It is chuck full of human characters and human life and the ways of this queer world. Mr. Collins, it will be remembered by most people, is the man who was for years a Southern Pacific machinist in Arizona, who after his discharge suffered a long series of troubles, sicknesses and indigni- ties because, justly or unjustly, he asked consideration at the hands of the railroad. Mr. Collins tried vainly to getan audience with H. E. Huntington, the railzoad mag- nate and the confidential nephew of a greater magnate. He failed, and while selling razor-paste on the sidewalk in front of the big railroad building Mr. Hunting- ton came along and nodded, perbaps fear- fully, perbaps good-naturedly, to Collins. The emboldened Collins accosted Hunting- ton peaceably and with arms folded, stating what he believed to be his claims and his wrongs. It is the way of the world and of the law that one man, though a stranger, may at least accost another man. The man ac- costed may, if he choose, not listen and walk peaceably and carelessly and even contemptuously on, having no grievance unless the accosting stranger iollows and becomes annoying or uggressive. Itisnot yet in evidence that Collins, the razor-paste man, was ressive or threatening. Perhaps Mr. Huntington really was slightly annoyed. But then this case is wholly different from otherwise similar ones that occur be- tween ordinary citizens every day in the street. Mr. Huntington is his uncle’s nephew and a big man himself with a neat rosewood desk in a big corner room, and Mr. Coilins, who may or may not be a somewhat foolish man, sells razor paste now for a living. Then Mr. Huntington happened to be accompanied by David Neagle, the man who numbers the late Judge Terry among his slain. It is not every men who can have Dave at his side when he is annoyed by some fellow accosting him on the street. But Mr. Neagle was there, and, accordin, { to all the stories yet told, he just grabb the fool Collins by the collar and by an- other firmly displaced part of his clothin, and threw him around vigorously lng hurled him in the direction of down street. Then, it is said by Collins and all the witnesses who have yet told their stories, the shotgun messenger and mining camp Deputy Sheriff seized Col- lins by the throat with- one hand, while with the other he bumped the Collins head vigorously against the granite silis of the big knockery close at hand. Then Collins was physically spurned with the threst that he would get killed if he came arqund there again bothering railroad people. Now all this mig(lin not have made Mr. Collins famous if Kditor Barry of the Siar had not *'roasted” Neagle somewhat as he roasted Neagle when Terry was killed, and if Neagle had not met the intrepid Barry on Montgomery street and with his hand very meaningly on his gun warned Mr. Barry mnot to do it again. Neagle practically threatened Barry’s life if further criticism was indulged in. This.last exploit of the bad gunfighter from Arizona has proved too much for some people who believe that David Neagle is not wholly entitled to immanity from eriticism for his deeds as bodyguard to raiiroad magnates, and Neagle's prose- cation for his assault on Collins is the E:.mblo form in which their indignation s finally found vent. : In curing torturing, disfiguring, humilisting humors of the Skin, Scalp, and Blood when all else fails. 80ld throughout the world.

MYSTERY OF A STRANGE DISAPPEARNCE: Neagles and their guns; then such hired assassins will not be allowed to live® upon our fair soil.” “The Southern Pacific Company’s hired assassin.” 5 “Thug Neagle.” “That wretch.” “After a farce of a trial in the Federal Court he was acquitted for the wanton killing of Judge Terry.” “We bad been attacked by a skunk in human form.” There has been some curiosity concern= ing the manner in which the Starwill speak to-day about Dave Neagle in view of the encounter between Neagle and James H. Barry, the editor of the Star, and also in view of the threat with which Neagle is reported to have closed his street inter- view with Barry. The several sentences at the head of thisarticle are taken from to- day’s Star, and all refer to Neagle. They are evidently written with little or no re- gard to any threats which Neagle may have uttered at any time. He is reportea to have made many threats at different times. Neagle is in the City and will probably read the Star. The extracts given in the foregoing are taken from a copy of the paper which was secured in advance of the rifm“ publication. . Not only has Mr. Barry goaded Neagle in this, Atthebeginningof a five-column article which has the caption. ‘““The South- ern Pacific Company’s Hired Assassin— The Slayer of Judge David 8. Terry and Lesser Lights Assaults, Pulls His Gun and Threatens to Murder the Editor of the Star,” is the following: In last week’s Star.we printed an article headed ‘‘Murderer Neagle Still on Deck.” We referred to Dave Neagle, who on August 11, 1889, in cold blood, without cause, while under the protection of United States Justice Field, murdered David S. Terry. That he was hired to commit the dastardiy geel‘i) we had not and have not the slightest oubt. He had killed men of lesser note before and with equal safety to himself. He was and is proud of his record as s man. slayer, but his “‘proudest act”—one of which he delights to boast—was the murder of Terry; for he was a “shining light,” and the act gave him not only National notoriety, butalso pre- ferment. Judge Field publicly watch in recognition of resented him with a is “yalor,” while the | Sharon “gang” gave him lumpsum of money and a large annuity for life. He is now in the employ of the Southern Pacific, and his real duty is to terrorize or kill all who may be prominently obnoxious to that corpozation, This is followed up by the following: On Thursday of last week, while in the com- ln{lui H. E. Huntington and in his presence, e (Neagle) walked up to & peddier whko hasa grievance against the Southern Pacific Com- pany, and, as the facts are statea by Mr. Wil- liam’ M. Cubery, the well-known_printer, opened the peddier's bag, thrust his hand in- side of it, examined it, closed the bagsuddenly, yiolently seized his ‘‘enemy” by the throat and dragged him along the sidewalk until he reached the Market-street side of the railroad bnilding, when with the fury of a fiend— which he is—he dashed the defenseless man’s head repeatedly against the stone wall of the building and threatened him with death. * * It was this cowardly and unprovoked assault which inspired our article in last week’s Star, which was so offensive to him and nis master that on Tuesday last he sought our life. Mr. Barry also says that he had been informed that Neagle, although cowardly, was a desperado. 0 There is much in condemnation of the Southern Pacific Company. Incidentally a verse is printed as follows: We wili speak out: we will be heard Though ali earth’s systems crack. We will not bate a single word, Nor take a letter back. Mr. Barry has evidently tried to give Dave Neagle provocation. In reference to che talk about a ‘‘vigilance committee’’ to deal with Neagle, a small paragraph is ap- pended to the verbal broadside as follows: Bome of the daily papers intimate that a vig- ilance committee is being formed. We dis- claim all knowledge of and discountenance any such movement, which, however well in- tentioned, might cause riot and bloodshed and the lives of innocent men while it would not serve to correct the evils against which we are fighting. If it would, then we might say, “Go ahead.” CELTC UNION'S PROJECT Twenty - Six Irish Societies United to Build a Grand Hall. They Desire to Have a Home That Will Cost a Quarter of a Million. The Celtic Union will hold an important meeting this evening in K. R. B. Hall for the purpose of taking further action in the project of building a handsome hall. It was stated yesterday by many of the enthusiastic supporters of the hali prop- osition that success iscertain. Anyhow the various Irish societies of San Fran- cisco are asa unit on it, and for that rea- son decisive progress is expected to be made at the meeting to-night. There are twenty-six Irish societiesin the Celtic Union, including the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Knights of St. Patrick, which are among the chief supporters of the enterprise. They were brought together mainly through the efforts of Jeremiah Deasy, Thomas R. nnerman and other prominent Irish- men of this City, and now that the union is a reality the main object for which it was called into existence will be taken up with a will. ‘ The plan as now outlined in the rough, is to form a corporation with a capinl stock of $250,000, to be divided into shares of a par value that will enable men of moderate means to become subscribers. A large share of this stock, it is proposed, will be taken by the societies. Besides, several of the bodies in the Celtic Union are considering grand excursions into the country and entertainments in town to raise funds to be presented to the cor- poration. Then when sufficient stock has been subscribed to warrant the actual commencement of buying a lot and build- g a hall, the corporation will begin business operations. A wide and pretentious scope is given the project, for nothing but a buildin, that will be an ornament to the Uity nns up to date in all its appointments is at sresent considered. The building is to be nished in modern style, according to the plans of its projectors, and to contain lodgerooms for the societies, a large thea- ter, or meeting-hall, clubrooms, offices, a banquet-hall, etc, The name lnn% be Irish-American Hall or Celtic Union Hall, more likely the latter, which is now most in favor. The ball will be the meeting- place of all Irish societies in San Fran- cisco, their headquarters as well, and in it all affairs connected with these organiza- tions will be held. ———————— Of Timely Interest Is an able editorial in this week’s News Letter on the auestion of & third party in politics at present.

Tells of Cruelty to Extort From Him a Vast Sum of Money. A ROBBER’'S BULLET GRAZES HIS TEMPLE. 0. F. Winthrop and Another Man Indicted for Robbery and Assault to Murder. The Grand Jury held a session yesterday afternoon and indicted O. F. Winthrooand John Doe for robbery and assault to mur- der. Winthrop and his accomplice, who would die before he would submit to the blackmail and extorcion. They threat- ened him with.prolonged physical torture and in the end death if he would not sign, but he refused to negotiate. From Tuesday noon until ‘Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock Campbell was in bed, bound and chained so firmly that he could not move all day Wednesday. Winthrop and hisaccomplice, 8 younger man, threat- ened and again threatened to induce the victim to sign a check and a letter to 1313 wife which had been prepared for his sig- nature. When the robbers found that the old man was inflexible in his determina- tion to die rather than submit to extortion, they decided to darken the house, release the victim and under cover of night aban- don the premises. Accordingly at 8 o’clock, or about that hour, Wednesday evening Mr. Campbell was unbound and led out of the house by a rear passage way leading to an alley. The accomplice of Winthrop escorted’ the planter along Third avenue to a péintnear Geary street. When a car came in sight the victim was given a nickel to pay his car fare and advised to getaboard. This advice he followed and reached the Occi- dental Hotel about9o’clock. His wife was so overcome with joy at seeing him that she fainted. Mr. Campbell was in the jury-room for nearly a half hour and was questioned closely as to all the details and incidents of his detention. When he was excused as a witness he returned to the inner pri- PLANTER CAMPBELL LEAVING THE JURY ROOM. is designated in the indictment as John Doe, are supposed to be the two men who sought by violence, threats ® murder and acts of physical torture to extort $20,000 from James Campoell, a rich Hawaiian planter, after the capitalist had been lured or decoyed, according to his story, to a cottage, 4109 California street. The story told by Campbell to the mem- bers of the Grand Jury was one of the most remarkable narratives of cruelty and crime ever related to eager listeners. The modest demeanor, the simple bearing and the straightforward manner of the brave old man convinced every member of the jury present that the narrative was a plain unadorned statement of facts. Mr. Campbell told of his visit to San Jose to arrange for placing his daughter in school and the chance meeting of ‘Winthrop at.the Hotel Vendome. Win- throp spoke of his invalid wife, and his own earnest desires that she should visit the islands for her health. She had doubts and misgivings about the Hawaiian climate, and toremove these from her mind the aged planter was asked to see the invalid and tell her all about the climate and the country. ‘When Mr. Campbell returned from San Jose to this City Winthrop again met him at the Occidental Hotel and renewed the request that he should see his wife. The two men left the Occidental Hotel together between 3 and 4 o’clock last Monday after- noon. Mr. Campbell described the jour- ney by the Sacramento-street car line and the alighting from the car at a point near the French Hospital, which was so much further from the hotel than the planter supposed he was to go that he remarked the great distance. The two men entered the house, and while the planter was seated a masked man entered the room where he sat, and, presenting a pistol, commanded him to ‘throw up his hands. Campbell instantly jumped to his feet, the whole scheme of villainy flashing on his mind at once, and dealt the masked man a stunning blow. The robber went down under the force of the blow, and while on the floor firea his pistol. The bullet grazed the right side of the planter’s head, just back of the eye. A struggle ensaed, and the capitalist, ob- taining possession of the pistol, managed to reach the docr and get his arm and shoulder partially through, When he was struck by Winthrop with a ham. mer or some instrument back of the ear and felled to the floor. The robbers then sprang on him, thumped him hard against the floor, and while he was still dazed handcuifed him and bound his feet and arms. 4 Campbell, dazed, bruised and exhausted by the powerful struggle for liberty, was lifted into a chair. His hands were tightly bound together, his arms were tied to the armrests of the chair, his feet were strapped together and a rope placed around his body and tied behind the chair. In that position he sat for twenty hours. His physical suffering was terri- ble and his mental agony intense. All the money he had—$306 50—was taken from him by Winthrop. From the chair he was taken to the bed and there chained by chains attached to staples in the floor. He was gagged so that he could not make an outery. Winthrop offered to release him ii he would sign a check for $20,000 and direct his wife 1o get it cashed and pay the amount oyer to them. The robbers went into minute instructions as to how the money should be obtained, but the im- prisoned planter refused to sign. He told the robbers that he was an old man and | .| did not have many years tq,-fi.vp 50 he vate office of the District Attorney, where Captain Lees sat while Mr. Campbell was in the jury-room. A prolonged coafer- ence took place in which Mr. Hosmer, Acting District Attorney, Captain Lees and Mr. Campbell participated. While they were engaged in this conterence Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. McFarland came to the new City Hall to meet Mr. Campbell and escort him home. In an interview with a CAnL reporter Mr. Campbell said he was recovering from the excitement and sufferings of imprison- ment, but had not fully recovered. In answer to aninquiry as to when he would sail for Honolulu he said: “I am not go- ing away for some time.” When asked 1f he would remain here uniil the present trouble wag tinally settlel he said: *'I cannot say that I will remain that long, but I will stay long enough.” The bruise, or abrasion of the right temple, caused by the robber’s bullet is visible, but is healing. Thereis a big lump behind his ear where Winthrop struck him. Mr. Campbell is a man who stands fully six feet two inches high. In his youth he must have been a powerful man physically, for his frame is well propor- tioned and sounaly knit. He walks, not- withstanding his rough treatment, with agile firmness, Speaking of the planter, Captain Lces said: ‘“He 1sone of the manliest and most courageous of men that [ ever met. He is modest in his recital of what occurred. He is not at all given to boasting or self praise. “‘He simply tells what has happened and tells it in a straightforward and intelli- gent style. He isa brave man and has the courage of his convictions. He made up his mind to dle ratner than submit to tte outrage. The robbers finding that he would not yield dared not commit murder. “I first. heard of this disappearance,” said Captain Lees, ‘‘from Mr. Curtin, whom I happened to meet at the Baldwin Hotel last Monday evening. I told Cur- tin that the matter impressed me as im- portant, and so we kept a close watch of the affair. “At first Curtin was inclined to regard Campbell’s absence as a convivial inci- dent, but as we discussed the question a more serious side was presented. We as- certained the identity of the two men, and saw that one was showing up in daylight and the other at night. We had the pur- pose in view to save Campbell beforé we arrested his abductors: Last Wednesday ‘Winthrop could have been arrested, but at that time we knew nothing of Camp- bell, and did not want to take any steps to imperil the old man. “You can rest assured,” said Captain Lees, “that all the stories about Mr. Campbell being out on a lark and becom- ing dazed by wine and women are mere surmises. He was lured out to that house on California street, as he describes. Now asa matter of fact I did not have time to hear his story until to-day when he told it to me in this room. Curtin, Campbell,my- self and one other went out Wednesday night in a hack to locate the house, All that Campbell could tell us was that the scene was near the French Hospital. ‘“‘He also recollectea distinctly that there was a small palm tree to tie left of the yard as one entered .the house from the street. Two or three times I got out of the hack to look for this palm. “Finally we located the place, but Campbell said, ‘I did not come out here.’ Then we .went around the house and found the rear entrance leading to a back street. This he recognized. We entered EXTRKOR NEW' TO-DAY—DRY GOODS, DINARY REOUCTIONS Foree Them Out To-Day!

Under the carpet we found the instrument used for removing them. The whole story was verified by the examination of the premises. There is not a weak place n the chain of Campbell’s story.” Captain Lees and Detectives Seymour and Coay visited the house at 4109 Califor- nia streev last night, and after a minute search of the premises, a bullet hole was found in the wall of the back rooma couple of feet above the head of thebed. The house was rented last Monday morn- ing by Oliver W. Winthrop, who claimed he was renting it for a friend named Archi- bald. On Tuesday morning Winthrop was seen on the premises, and there is no doubt but that he is the ran'who first made Campbell’s acquaintance in San Jose, and subsequently took him from the Qccidental Hotel Monday afternoon. Captain Lees is said to know where Winthrop is and is expected to arrest him in the morning. Winthrop is the man who was arrested a few years ago on 2 charge of having murdered Mrs. Jennie Matthews in Laurel Hill Cemetery. Although the evidence was almost conclusive he was acquitted by a jury. . The indictment against Winthrop and John Doe were filed in Judge Slack’s court, and on motion of District Attorney Hos- mer the papers were placed on the secret file. Warrants were issued for the arrest of the persons indicted. The Grand Jury was so busily engaged yesterday in considering the evidence in the above case that no witnesses were called in the illegal registration cases. The Grand Jury, however, took up the case of J. C. Green and Oppenheimer, against whom charges were preferred b‘y Moses Gunst. After hearing Green's evi- dence apd examining contracts and docu- ments the Grand Jury ignored the charges. P. B. Cornwall, for whom a subpena as witness has been issued, has not returned from the north. It is expected that he will be in San Francisco early next week. The Grand Jury adjourned yesterday un- til next Friday. At that time Mr. Corn- wall will probably attend and tell wh;'t he knows concerning the seven Supervisors who were recently accused. THE LABOR CCUNCIL. Resolutions Passed Sympathizing With ° Worden and Promising Support. The San Francisco Labor Council at .its reguiar meeting last night, appointed a committee of five, consisting of C. A. Hawkins, T. F. Burns, Ed. Rosenberg, W. MI—E Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. Macarthur and W. Ackerman, to take such action as they deem proper on behalf of the condemned striker, Worden, who pow is under sentence of death at Folsom for the Sacramento tragedy. The boycott on non-union brewers was discussed and the action of the unions was 1ndorsed. The question of opposing the new charter was referred to a committee of five to formulate a line of action in re- gard to this propored law. A resolution condemning the assault made upon editor J. H. Barry by David Neagle, and expressing the confidence of the Labor Council in Barry’s course in at- tacking the Southern Pacific corporation was unapimously passed. Pat Gould, an Eastern man, asked the rivilege of the Council to explain the ycott on the Randall & Victor bicycle. He was granted time for a short address, in which he explained his side of the op- position. He was instructed to appear before the trades unions and have those bodies continue their opposition to the sale of the wheels in this City. NEW TO-DAY.
