THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1896. 13 CAPITALISTS 10 APPEAR IN COURT Editor High’s Second Libel Suit on Trial To-Day. SAYS HE FEARS NOTHING The Real Ownership of Times the Chief Point Involved. the NOT DOWNED BY DINGEE The Ex-Editor Got Rid of His Prop- erty to Avoid the Possibility of Bankruptcy. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Fx.\'scxsco Cary,| 908 Broadway; Aug. 25. | There is a8 much ianterest being shown in the change of ownership in the Times as in a municipal campaign. The mere fact that & paper that has sunk over $30,000 in five years should revert to the banks which have owned it for a long time is not very remarkable, but the position of Mr. ingee, the president of the Oakland Water Company, who has been abused by ex-Editor High, inyests to-morrow’s trial with marked interest. But neither Mr. Dingee nor Mr. High is the ¢entral figure in the trial, which will surely be a sensational one, Develop- ments have shown that Mr. High never really owned the paper, and the -purpose of Mr, Dingee will bs to show that Mr. High is only partially liable for the articles to which Mr. Dingee objects. The methods of the capitalists of Oak- land are about as generally interesting as those of politicians, and when they fall out there is likely to be as much uneasiness. “It was reported that Mr. Dingee had bought the Times 80 as to close me up,” said Mr. High to-night, “‘but that is not true. Ithrew it up because it was not a financial success, the same as I would throw up any other venture that was not paying. Ihear that Mr. Dingee has em- ployed General Barnes and W. W. Foote to assist in the prosecution, but I do not think they will do me much harm. It was not fear of Mr. Dingee that had any- thing to do with my giving up the paper. I know Mr. Dingee is considerably rattled, but I would never have abandoned my fight so long as I had the paper; but I did not propose to continue publishing for the sake of proving that the stand I nad taken was the right one when I made up my mind to quit.” The case that will be called in the Police Court to-morrow is that wherein Mr. High is charged with libel regarding an auction sale held by Mr. Dingee. Owing to the publicity given to the matter there wiil be a crowded lobby in Judge Wood's | court. GUS JACKSON HAS GONE His Father Owns He Has Re- signed His Place—There Is a Lady in the Case.

Yes, she lives in San Fran- cisco and that is all I care to say about it, except that he said he would be home about the end of this week.’” Gus Jackson is a highly popular, good Jooking young man. The story runs that he has been courting a fascinating young lady in the metropolis. A little more than a week ago the yonng lady called on Jackson at his piace of business, and it is said a date was decided on and a minister’s services were to be sought. { A friend of Juckson, when told of his | disappearance this evenin? remarked: | “So Gus has gone, has he? I thought he would. Three months 2go I saw him with a charming widow who has plenty of money, and asked him bow things were. He said that she wanted him to go with her to the Sandwich Islands. He hasbeen | keeping company with her for the past | three years, and I expect that is where they haye gene to.” An Ex-Conviot.

VARRIED & BIGAMIST, Mré. Ada More Wants a Divorce as the Easiest Way Out of Trouble. Cornelius Stuart Cou!d Not Get Her Property, So He Sought Fresh Pastures. OaxrAND OFrice SaN Fraxcisco CALL,} 908 Broadway, Aug. 25. Mrs. Ada Sarah More- Seward filed a compiaint for divorce to-day. Mrs. More is the woman who was married somewhat burriedly about a year ago to Cornelius Edward Stuart or Seward. A few days after the marriage Stuart went ty the Coanty Clerk’s office and, afcer being permitted to inspect the marriage- license record, he erased his name and made it to read Seward. When charged with the crime of mutilating a public record he denied having done so, but when brought to trial he admitted the erasure, but stated that he merely wished to cor- rect his name. H is case was dismissed by a jury. A little later information came to his new wife of another Mrs. Stuart living in San Jose and later still another report was received that neither of the women had a monopoly of the man’s name. A merchant of Tulare also wanted to settle up a financial transaction with Stuart, but when he was free of the record- mutilating case he did not stay around Oakland. In her complaint Mrs. More alleges all the statutory offenses, especially deser- tion, as it will be easier to prove her case and secure her release that way than by attempting to convict Stuart of bigamy. Mrs. More is a widow with a snug little estate and Stuart had already induced her to give kim a portion of it when she dis- covered his perfidy. It is not known where Stuart is at present. e — HISTORY OF A DAY. Alameda County Happenings Teid in Brief Chapters. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO CALL, 908 Broedway, Aug. 25. f W. F.

Spies came into the camp and related their ex- periences in the promised land, telling of the great giants there.

A GREAT CONTEST OVER ey Hundreds of Bound Students Heaped Against the Backstop. A WAR DANCE OF VICTORY. The Second Year Men Gir. born but Unavailing Battle. Stub- BERKELEY, Oan, Aug. 25.—One of the fiercest and long-contested rushes that ever fook place on the University of Cali- fornia campus was held to-night between the freshmen and sophomores, resulting in a victory for the freshmen. For an hour and a half the struggling mass of humanity surged and rolled on the hard earth of the football ground. Three hundred freshmen and sophomores fought & hand-to-hand combat, while 400 upper classmen looked on and gave their advice as gained by experience in years past. From the outset the freshmen were in the ascendency because of their greater force of fighting men, though the sopho- mores kept up a stubborn fight from start to finish, It was not until the last strug- gling sophomore was securely bound hand and foot that the '99 men gave up the shost. The sophomores, as is the custom in such combats, made the onslaught from the eastern slope of the campus. The fresh- men were lined up in double rank to meet them. The two forces rushed together and the struggle for supremacy was on. A number of men belonging to both sides were carried off the field in a semi-con- scious condition from sheer exhaustion. The co-eds rendered their services in cutting loose the bonds that held the hands and feet of those tied. In two cases the co-eds missed their aim and cut the hands of those whom they had hoped to aid, severely. Having tied all the sopho- mores and piled them up against the back- stop the victorious freshmen and the juniors joined in & war dance about the elpless bodies, splitting the air with their slogans of war. About 3000 people witnessed the scene, among whom were numerous professors and regents, Fought for Love. BERKELEY, Carn,, Aug. 25.— A fistic encounter, & spilling of gore and a knock- out occurred this “afternoon in the back yard of J. M. Manlg. The contending parties were Payson Riggs, a youth of 17, and Maurice Chiek, a young man of like age, who has won comsiderable fame be- bind the footlights. A young girl was at the bottom of it all. It seems that Riggs remarked a few days ago that a certain girl friend of Chick’s, who lives in Alameda, was no lady. Chick told Riggs that he would either have to take back the remark or take a ‘dicking.” Riggs would not take it back, so hostili- ties were declared on. The fight was to be to a finish with eight-ounce gloves. Mec- Nulty’'s back yard was staked out as the prize-ring.\ The young sloggers met this afternoon with their seconds and proceeded to dive into one another. They did not keep at it long, for at the end of three minutes a crowd had gathered round about on the fences and housetops and Chick had reg- istered against himself a knockout blow between the eyes. Riggs was declared the winner by com- mon consent, and the crowd parted the pair. Chick, though worsted, has the satisfac- tion of doing the best he could to uphold the horfor of his fair friend. Eansome Talks Football. BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 25.—Captain Ransome of the Berkeley football team gave the prospective players from the freshman class a talk at the “gym” this afternoon on what they would be expected to do if they wished to train for places on the team under him. He said that by September 15 all tobacco and alcoholic drinks must be laid aside. “This rule,” said the captain, ‘‘is to be vigorously enforced, and all infractions will be seriopsly dealt with. What we need is hard, conscientious work, and we cannot expect faithful training from the many if the few are allowed to set a bad example. Discipline and self-sacrifice are essential to success, not only at present but in the future.” About twenty - five sturdy well-built freshmen were present at the meeting, At the close Captain Ransome expressed himself as being much pleased with the appearance of the men and their evident determination to go into the work with vim and energy. Merchauts Demand Protection. BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 25.—A lengthy petition, signed by seventy business men from the Merchants' Protective Associa- tion, was presented to the Board of Town Trustees last evening, asking that licenses be demanded of all solicitors and “order- takers’” who come to Berkeley from other towns for business purposes. The state- ment showed that the money invested in commercial interests in Berkeley is up- ward of $750,000, and that under the exist- ing laws the merchants had no protection again: s the encroachments upon their ter- ritory of outside firms. The petitioners asked that the present license ordinarce be changed so as to call for a tanff of $100 per quarter on all solicitors other than those who bhave for sale hooks, maps, charts and periodicals, and a license. of $10 per quarter for these last mentioned. The petition asks also that a license of $100 per quarter be asked of all laurdrymen not having a fixed place of business in Berke- ley. University Magazine Changes.

OAKLAND, CAL., Aug. 25.—Fearing he would be injured in a runaway Benjamin Moos, a farmband, jumped from a load of hay this morning shortly after 8:30 and fell on the back of his head insuch a man- ner as to fracture his skull at the base of the brain. He lingered until 11:20, when consciousness returnea, but cerebral hem- orrhage occurred and death resulted in a few moments. The accident occurred on the Blair ranch, near Piedmont. Moos and Soren- son Christensen, another hand, had started to take a load of baled hay to J. L. Re- qua’s place. In going down a steep hill the horses, both young, began to trot and the wagon became unmauagesble, as: the | brake refused to work.
