4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1896. CAMP D'RYAN'S PIRATES FIVE. Cadet Buccaneers Beaten by Guards in Bloodless Conflict. GLEN ELLEN PASTIMES. A Military Bastile Kept Crowded With Mock Prisoners of War. NOTED VISITORS ENTERTAINED Uniformed Youths Declaim and Sing Before Blazing Fires at Night. GLEN ELLEN, CaL., Aug. 25.—This has been another perfect day in camp O'Ryan, where the League of the Cross Cadets are | temporarily quartered in their tented | town. Themorning dawned upon a beaun- tiful scene, with the boys already out under the spell of snare drums, all bustle | and excitement in preparation for another i round of the good things this delightful spot assures, for genial sunshine, fragrant | air, swimming in the creek, monstrous anpetites, long walks together with all | kinds of wild larks and amusement. The arrival of Dr. A. P. Mulligan, sur- | geon of the regiment, was a sign for the | cadets o be prepared for a close inspec- | tion. Early this morning the doctor was in camp and among the tents with an eye upon their sanitary condition. He re- ported that he was very agreeably sur- prised at the neatness and order displayed on every hand and the nice attention to | detail apparent in every tent. In .only | one regard was there any fault to be found, | and that was the neglect of an army regu- | lation requiring the tents to be ovened in | the back as well as i front for a free | passage of air from morning till night. But the cadets had their blankets in triple | folds, according to regulations, their straw beds carefully confined to the exact limit, and elsewhere had every thing clean as a new dollar. Company H had its tents prettily deco- rated with bunting strung along the front | and with Japanese lanterns hanging be-‘ tween, while from stacks of sabers along the street were drawn strings of lanterns. | In the center of the gaily decorated tents | the boys from St. Brendan’s Parish on | Rincon Hill, San Francisco, suspended a | large banner bearing the inscription | “Camp Yorke, Company C, the Pride of the South Side.” Not to be outdone, | Company C of St. Patrick’s Parish came | well supplied with decorative materials, | with the result that its tents, adjoining those of Company H, appeared resplendent | in red, white and blue drapings mingled | with festoons of green bunting. Directly opposite is a Mission company, the mem- bers of which, with an artistic turn, made their canvas-houses beautiful with gar- lands of riparia vines and bunches of graceful grasses from the stream near by. Captain Filgate had a small flagpole | erected in front of his headquarters, and | the red Greek cross on a white ground flutters over the hospital, while a large | American flag is streaming from the main | flagstaff in the square. So the camp hasa decidedly attractive appearance that bespeaks a special interest on the part of | the cadets. Among the visitors in camp to-day were R. X. Ryan, general passenger agent of the San Francisco and North Pacific Rail- way, and Father White of Sonoma. Mr: Ryan entertained a party of friends at dinner in the Mervyn hotel. Among his zuests were Rev. James McDonald, chap- lain of the camp, Dr. A. P. Mulligan, Cap- tain Filgate and some of the staff officers. 1t was given out that Dr. Mulligan would | have to appoint an assistant surgeon with | the rank of captain, which he has enjoyed since he became surgeon of the regiment. | ‘With this change, the doctor’s rank will | be elevated to that of major. Early this morming the tent of the “five pirates,” containing Sergeant Can- | ning, J. McAuliffe, J. Hughes and others, gave forth sounds that were pronounced hurtful to the peace and midnight dignity of the little community. 8o the ‘‘five pirates” were attacked in their lair by the guard, who were taken by surprise to find their entrance blocked by the points of five murderous-looking, gleaming sabers. An unbloody battle ensued, and the guard at last victoriously marched five crest- fallen prisoners to the guardhouse. After breakfast thére was considerable merri- ment over five pirates cleaning the camp by way of punishment. Evidently the boys were rested yester- day, for they cut up endless antics all night, with the usual result—a full guard- Louse. . T. Dwyer, T. McIn8rny and Privates Allen and Griffin of Company G, SBergeant Hynes, Corporal Telfer and two privates of Company H were taken from their tents and incarcerated. The prisoners filled the guardhouse and there was an overflow meeting outside. They essayed an attack upon the 5uard. but were repulsed, and then dashed past the lines. An exciting pursnit and capture followed, and now there is a record of disorderly conduct against a dozen cadets with the re- marks, “Pursued and captured and ggniahed." Btill it is all great fun for the 8. gwimming in the romantic pcol lost none of its gentle allurements to-day for the cadets, although it was accompanied in many instances by the temporary loss of clotbes and the consequent unpleasant- ness of beiui drummed into camp in bathing suits by all the cadets, The camp never looked better than to- night, when several wvisitors from the neighboring summer resorts were present atound a blazing fire in the square. Cadets in fatigue uniform formed half the circle, while the remaining space was re- served for ladies and their escorts. A really enjoyable entertainment was given by the young warriors. The programme was as follows: Musical solos, Privates J. McDonald and J. Egan of Company B; sentimental song, Private William Ryan, Company H; reci- tation, Captain D. J. McCarthy, Company E; song, “Old Kentucky Home,” Glee Club, Company C; vocal solos, Corporal Harry Hay, Company B; recitation, J. O'Leary, Company vocal solo and dance, Private C.

LOS ANGELES, Can, Aug. 25.—The gold Democrats of this city, following the example of those in the northern metropo- 1is, have begun a campaign of active oppo- sition. A well-attended meeting was neld to-day at which delegates were selected to attend the National Democratic Gold Convention, which meets at Indianapolis uext month, The meeting was called to order this afternoon in the office of Will A. Harris, & prominent Democrat. Mr. Harris pre- sided, and C. D. Willard, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was chosen secre- tary. Mr. Harris made & brief address, in which he referred to the necessity of all true Democrats taking steps against the financial plank of the Chicago platform and urged all to rally in support of the gold standard, which he regarded as one of the fundamental principles of the party. He predicted grave disaster in the case of success of free silver. Short talks were made by others, and the following delegatesto the Indianapolis con- vention were chosen: W. A. Harris, C. D. Willard, W. J. Hunsaker, H. W. O'Mel- veney, Captain J. T. Lawler, George Pooley, John J. Byrne and I H. Johnson. It was evident from the general tone of the gathering that those present regarded the situation now confronting the country as most serious and that the defeat of free silver should be accomplished. The gen- tlemen were all evidently in favor of sup- porting McKinley, and several so expressed themselves. The gentlemen organized under the name of the Sound-money Democratic Club of Los Angeles. e e Oakdale Republicans Organize. STOCKTON, CAL., Aug. 25.—A McKin- ley Club was formed in Oakdale to-night. That place is in the midst of & red-hot | sitver section, but a number of the people from the country about turned out in an enthusiastic gathering for the purpose of organizing the club. ROUND-VALLEY'S TRAGEDY Seven Men Formed the Party of Lynchers That Hanged Littlefield. How Joe Gregory’s Boasts Were Fu'fiilled in the “Dark and Bloody Ground.” WEAVERVILLE, CAL., Aug. 25.—If Joe Gregory did not assist in the murder of Vaquero “Jack’ Littlefield, on Rea Mountain last September, he is destined to martyrdom as a victim of circumstances. The network of evidence that is closing about the subject of ‘King’’ George E. White is one that he can scarcely break through. Gregory, if innocent, was so unfortunate as to have had lynching ‘“on the brain,” and whenever he gave way tfo his peculiar mania he indulged his com- panions in advice as the proper manner in which Littlefield and Ves Palmer should be removed from earth. Gregory was always intent on ‘‘doing up” his enemies, but not in fair combat, man to man. The first witness this morning was Henry Smith Hoaglin, who testified that he had met Gregory in the latter partof June, 1895, on the road between Covelo and the Indian reservation. Gregory pro- posed that Hoaglin go into partnersnir with him for the purpose of ‘‘doing up” Littlefield and Ves Palmer. He wanted some man who would stand by him “in case of a showdown,” he said.. Gregory told the witnegs that at the .time that he (Gregory) had cut Littlefield he would have killed bim but that the knife closed on his hand. Frank Hanover, who has been employed since the Van Horn and Crow case in look- ing up evidence for the prosecution, de- | clared that he had heard Gregory say that he would kill Littlefield. Gregory wanted to organize a mob to kill both Littlefield and Ves Palmer, and he wanted Hanover to help. He gave a list of those who were willing to help, saying that Baylis Van Horn, Tom Haydon and John Crow were ready, and adding that George White and others would stand between him and all barm, and that he could depend on George Whi*a to the amount of $5000. Gregory’s step- father, Williamson, his mother and sister had also been heard to express the opinion that Littlefield ought to be hanged. On redirect examination by Deputy Attorney-General Post, Henover related a conversation that he had with Gregory on the 20th of August, 1895, He asked Grezory why he had gone to Mad River, and Gregory repliea: *I guess it ain’t any of your business.’”” Then Gregory said: “We were going to get up_a mob to han Littlefield and Palmer. They are campeg on Red Mountain Creek, and I thought I would sound you to see how you felt about the matter.” Gregory said all he wanted was one other man to do the shooting and the balance to prove an alibi. Hanover testified that he was at Tom Haydon’s house at daylight on the morn- ing of September 27 (the day of the lynch- ing) and met there Cair, Buck Lacock, Tow Haydon, the Fleetwood boys and J. M. Vinton. Laycock went after Gregory and Radcliffe, and Hanover saw the three returning to Haydon’s house, after which Hanover left for Bald Mountain. The witness was questioned about the Sherman murder at Covelo several weeks ago, and gvhether or not Sherman had been sumpnioned to testify on behalf of the people. He did not know. Dr. Goyer was called shortly after the opening of the court this afternoon. He said that he had been summoned to at- tend J. M. Vinton on September 26, 1895. “Bill” Espy had undertaken to escort him to Haydon’s house, where Vinton was, but having procured a bottle of whisky Espy became intoxicated, lost the way and fell asleep in Cricket Gulch. Goyer arrived at his destination an hour after sunset and found Crow, Lacock, Vinton and Cain at the house. Tom Hay- don and Gregory came about 10 o’clock. Baylis Van Horn came later. The crowd left the house about 3 o’clock, armed with Winchester rifles, and returned about™5:50, Lacock returned later. William Shores, a brother of Mrs. Vin- ton, testified that as'he was approaching Haydqn’s house on the afternoon of Sep- tember 27, when about a quarter or balf a mile from the house he observed Mrs. Haydon out with a spyglass, looking in the direction of Wylackie range. He also observed seven men on horseback riding around a hill west from Haydon’s house. He asked Mrs. Haydon what she was looking at, and she replied that she was looking to see if Littlefield had taken the cattle out of the Wylackie corral. Vinton %uv- him the names of the seven men. hey were the Van Horn brothers, La- cock, Haydon, Gregory, Radcliffe and Orow. Later Vinton said, when asked why they did not get back, that “there might be some mischief or trouble,” or something like that, and that they were going to arrest ‘“Jack” ILattlefield for shooting him. Haydon and Lacock re- turned about dusk. “Bill” Espy, the bacchanalian shepherd, was next called. He stated.that on the afternoon of September 27 he saw three men on horseback traveling at a fast gait up the Wylackie trail. He watched them go out of sight around the Wylackie corral, toward the McPherson place. He was in company with Frank Potter at the time and Potter remarked that they were traveling ‘pretty fast for a warm day. Espy said he had heard Vinton say that at the first saloon he caught Littlefield in in Covelo he would take a deuble-barreled shotgun and blow his brains out. A recess until to-morrow morning was taken, with Espy-still on the stand.- J 1S J WOODLAND'S RACE MEET A SUCCESS The Attendance Is Large and Pool-Sellers Are Kept Busy. GAZELLE A SPEEDY ONE Easily Wins the 2:17 Trot After Losing the First Heat. FRANK L TAKES THE PACE. Two Cheers, Selling With the Field, Beats the Running Division Home. ‘WOODLAND, Cairn, Aug. 25—The di- rectors of the Woodland Fair Association are well pleased with the result of the first day’s meeting. When thestringency of the times is considered it is remarkable that there was such a good attendance. If the interest should be sustained through- out the week the people of Woodland will have good cause for congratulation, and the directors will feel particularly grati- fied. Al Leach, who has charge of the suction poolbox, is enthusiastic over the outlook. He says his books show that the first day’s business in Woodland was more than double that of the first day at any other meeting in the circuit. On Thursday a number of State officials and members of the State Board of Agri- culture will be guests of the association. Governor Budd was iunvited, but he is at Lake Tahoe and will not be at home in time to accept. His office will be repre- sented by Private Secretary Edward Mc- Cabe. Adjutant-General Barrett will also be of the party. Of the directors of the State Agricultural Association itis expect- ed that Messrs. Matthews, Wilson and Mackey will be present. Secretary Smith will also come if he can spare the time from his official duties. The weather was very pleasant to-day. A light breeze from the south prevailed, The attendance was very much larger than yesterday. In the first event, the 2:17 trot, three in five, for a purse of $500, there were seven starters. Margaret Worth was scratched at the last moment on account of lame- ness. The seven starters are considered the pick ot their class now on the circuit. Pool-selling was lively and Gazelle, the pride of the Winship & Keating string, was established as a hot favorite at the rate of $10 to $8 for the field. The start ‘was very tedious and Btarter McNair im- posed a fine of §10 on Thomas Smith and threatened the others before he succeeded in getting them away. George Washing- ton and AtlLeena had two lengths the worst of the send-off. Thornhill and Humboldt Maid cut out the work and led to the quarter, with the favorite in third position. Atheena challenged the leaders and passed them near the hali Humboldt Maid was not to be easily shaken off. She fought it out with Atheena to the wire, but could not last and the Palo Alto entry won by a length undera strong pull. Gazelle made a spurt on the homestretch, but could get no better position than third. Time, 2:15%4. The result of this heat did not frighten the backers of Gazelle. She became a more pronounced favorite than ever. Pools sold at the rate of $10 for Gazelle to $5 for the field. At these odds money poured into the poolbox. The horses got the word on the second attempt. Atheena and Humboldt Maid set the pace to the quarter, with Homeward and Gazelle a length beliind. Homeward passed the Maid and carried the leader to the half. Homeward and Gazelle closed up around the turn and the four entered the home- stretch well bunched. Gazelle proved too speedy for her company and passed under the wire a lengih in the lead, with Atheena ;egg;fl and Homeward third. Time, _ There was no betting after the second Deat and Gazelle won with ease. When the side-wheelers of the 2:20 class were called out Frank L was a prohibitive favorite, selling for $15 to $5 for the field. The horses got away on the third attempt. Palatina and Jennie Mc led to the quarter, the favorite five or six lengths back, Near the half Palatina broke and Jennie Mec led around the upper turn. Frank L came with a rush and half way down the stretch Lad Jennie Mc at his mercy. He won as he pleased by a length, the others finist ing in the following order: Jennie Me, nce Bismarck, Dictatus, Adele, Beachwood and Petaluma. Time, 2:15. The second and third heats were devoid of interest, because the result was never | W in doubt. Frank L won hands down, The betting on the mile handicap run- ning race was lively. Pools sold at $10 for the field, $5 for Warrago and $5 for Sea Spray. There was a lon| delay in starting, When the horses got the word they were well bunched. It was a hot race from start to finish.

TOLEDO, Orro, Aug. 25.— The Chicago yacht Vencedor was unmercifully beaten by the Canada in the first of the series of yacht races for the international yachting championship of the lakes, off Toledo, to- dey. The Dominion yacht in a light breeze, which just enabled her to cover the triangular 24-knot course within the re- quired five and a half hours’ time limit, beat the Vencedor 17 min. 59 sec. actual time and 22:44 corrected time. The Vencedor at no time stood a chance in the light air with her small sailspread, bui whenever the wind increased sne showed considerable speed, and her ad- mirers still have hopes of herin a breeze. A tremenaous crowd of spectators on the decks of a hundred or more excursion steamers witnessed to-day’s race, and the Canada received an ovation when she slipped across the finish line just before the expiration of the limit agreed to under the rules, Three seconds after the starting gun was fired at 11:00:03 the Vencedor crossec the line, 1:15 ahead of the Canada, which easily made up the difference in the light wind, and ten minutes later was at the Chicago boat’s quarter. After blanketin, the Vencedor the Fife boat passed atiea to the windward. At 2:05 the Canada finished the first round, and at 2:13:30 the Vencedor fol- lowed. On this leg the Chicago boat did better, and began to overhaul the Canada. hen the next mark was reached the Vencedor had gained 25 seconds, their time of turni being: Canada 2:39:40, ‘Vencedor 2:48:25. The wind again fell light, and the Ca- nada, ss nlnnf began tg draw away from the Vencedor and gained 5 minutes and 85 seconds on her before she turned the sec- gnfs mark at 3:29:30 and Vendecor at :43:50, The Canada pointed up well in the lass leg, and dro&pcd the Vencedor steadily and crossed the line a winner at 4:19: the Vencedor not finishing until 4:37: STOCKTON OFFERS CHEER FOR ALL Admission Day Guests Need Not Hunger or Go Thirsty. GOOD FARE, BUT CHEAP. Fifty Cents a Meal the Limit to Be Assessed Native Sons. REDUCED RAILROAD RATES, Ten Bands From San Francisco Will Attend—A Parade Three Miles Long. BTOCKTON, CAv., Aug. 25.—One of the most important meetings yet held by the Native Sons’ committee was that of to- night. Twodelegations from thechurches appeared before the committee with' refer- ence to providing meals for the visitors. The Central M. E. Church had agreed to accommodate 300 of the visitors, and its representatives wanted to know what was expected of them. They said tbat they had at first intended to only give ham, eggs, coffee, rolls and melons for break- fast, but had finally determined to serve all fresh meats for the morning repast. The other two meals served at the church on the 9th will be more elaborate. The church people said that they in- tended to supply an abundance of food to every one, and it was agreed that 50 cents a meal would be the limit of cost to each who went to the church to eat. It was agreed that if any of the San Francisco or other parlors not quartered in hotels de- sired to make contracts for providing for the members less rates would be given. The representatives of the First Baptist Church made similar arrangements. The Christian Church and the First Presby- terian Church, as previously stated in THE OALL, have arranged to feed a large num- ber. The committee decided to-night to boy- cott any place that would not furnish an excellent meal to the visitors for 50 cents. It was stated that one fashionable board- ing-house intended to charge more, and a protest was raised at once. Never in the history of Admission day celebrations has a committee at the place where the festivities are to be held labored more assiduously for the welfare of the visiting natives and their friends than have the fianenl and executive commit- tees that have charge of the coming cele- bration. They are working night and day to secure proper accommodations for the thousands who will be here on the 8tn, 9th and 10th of September, and it will not be the fault of the members if the visitors are not better provided for than ever before in the history of Admission day celebrations. fiugb R. McNoble and Gus G. Grant a) rived on the might train from San Fran- cisco, whither they went yesterday in the interest of the coming celebration. Theirs were the most important reports of the evening. McNoble, as chairman of the transportation committee, reported that the officials of the Southern Pacific Com- any had guaranteed a two-thirds rate om every station in California where a parlor of Native Sons was coming to the celebration. This applies to points north of Fresno and to such other stations as the committes may request that the rate be made from. Chairman Grant of the water carnival committee submitted report that was received with the most enthusiasm. He said that he had interviewed a number of yachtsmen about the bay, and that Cap- tain Charles C. Bloom of one of the clubs had promised that fifteen small yachts would be here to participate in the " water carnival. This agreement was made on condition that the carnival committee would send a tug to meet the yachts at Antioch and tow them to Stockton. The yaght-owners have agreed to decorate their crafts with bunting and lanterns. They will be here-on the afternoon of the 8th of September, in time to participate in all of the festivities. ™ Another San Franciscan has that fifteen steam and gasoline launches will be on hand, and the owners of the launches have a; d that they will assist in towing the floats that are to form the parade on the water on the night of Sep- tember 9th. The steamer T. C, Walker has been chartered by Mission Parlor, and Iw!ll be beautifully lighted with electric Tps, / Grant reported that ten bands from San Francisco had agreed to take partin the water carniyal. Wheat barges will be rovided for them and the parlors that hei will accompany. These barges will be briltiantly lighted, and will be featurss of the great pageants on the water. Company F of 8an Francisco has prom- ised to come here at least eighty stron, and bring its gatling guns, to exh(blhs during the varade. " Grand Marshal Nutter announced to- night that the parade would start promptly 2t 10:15 o’clock and that. there would not be a moment’s delay in ting the great body of paraders in motion.

BAN JOSE, Cain, Aug. 25.—Henry Scheifer, who has been employed on the James Flood ranch near Alma, has mys- teriously disappeared. Yesterday morn- ing he started out aiter a load of gravel, but as he failed to return at noon a search was made for him. About a mile from the ranch the team was found tied to a fence, but there was no trace of Scheifer. He had been employed on the Flooa place for several years. He was sober and indus- trious, and his disappearance is a great mystery. - Bl G Burial of Giacinto Zarcone. 1 BAN JOSE, CAL., Aug. 25.—The funeral of Giacinto Zarcone, a pioneer barber of this city, was held this afternoon and was largely attended. The San Jose Huzzars, with a band, headed the procession, and were followed by tLe Italian Benevolent Bociety, the Druidsand Knightsof Pythias, of which societies the deceased was a mem- ber.
