14 L THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1896. TWO DYED HORSES - FOR MRS, HUNTER A Trickster in Horseflash Neatly Caugh' by a Sharp Woman. _ Captain Thomson of the Park Police Found the Man With the Horses. The Widow of the Late David Hunter Cannot Be Fooled by a Coat cf Dye on a White Surface. The trickster in horseflesh who may have inferior animais to dispose of would better not try to make a deal with Mrs. Joan N. G. Hunter, the widow of the late David Hunter. Such an experiment was tried upon this lady a few weeks ago, but with poor resalts to the man who made the attempt. Mrs. Hunter is a woman of education . and refinement and thoroughly postea on the ways of the world. Being a lady of vast wealth, with a refined taste for every- thing that is elegant, she is a lover of thoroughbred horses, and in her desire to acquire some of the best stock to be found on this coast for her private use she, in her drives through the Golden Gate Park, became acqueinted with Captain Thom- son, to whom she expressed her wish to possess & pair of coal black horses for her stable. Such a desire from a lady of Mrs. Hun- ter’s social position to Mr. Thomson was sufficient to stimulate him to act promptly, and it was understood that if the coal-black team coud be found within the limits of the City or even of Oakland they %ould be forthcoming. And they were. For inside of one week from the time the lady expressed her wishes the brave captain of police and guardian of ladies in the Golden Gate Park had a spanking team of jet-black horses stand- ing in tront of 903 Van Ness avenue, the residence of the rich widow. A basty inspection of the animals by " the lady with the suggestion that she would like to see them driven was asa matter of course complied with by the captain and by the attendant who hada charge of the horses. Having procured her soft wraps and buggy robes Mrs. Hunter took her seat in the bugey, whiie Captain Thomson and the driver occupied the forward seaton the box. The round of the park was taken and the homeward spin finished with the greatest satisfaction apparently to all con- cerned. The horses traveled well and made a fine appearance as they came down Golden Gate avenue ‘‘hard held,’” as the racecourse habitues express it, and with a grand round-up in front of the elegant residence of the millionaire widow. The driver and Captain Thom- son alighted from their seats with the agility of En lish footmen, and a second examinauon of the jet-biack steeds was had, with which the driver and the officer were well satisfied. Not so. however, Mrs. Hunter. She ex- pressed a desire {0 see some more of the horses before drawing her check for $1000. She instructed the man who had cuarze of the horses to take them to the stable in - the rear of the premises and unharness them, as she preferred to have another look’at them. The driver complied and the horses were taken to the siable and the harness re- moved, when the piercing eye of the prac- tical lady was thrown over the iorms of the horses with that exact scrutiny simi- lar to the penetrating vision of the X ray. After a careful examination of the sup- posed:$1000 beavties which were to adorn the stables of the Van Ness avenue mil- lionaire, Mrs. Hunter discovered a shady look about the forehead and another abou! the hind legs of one of the *jei-black” horses. She instructed her groom to bring adamp sponge forward and try its «ffect on the places pointed out to him. He did as directed' with the result that the damp spouge removed a coat of black dye on the forenead and hind legs of one of the horses. This satisfied the lady that she was about to be imposed upon, and in order to see how far this impo-ition was intended she dispatched a messenger for a veteri- nary surgeon, who, on his arrival and after a careful examination of the horses, declared that they werea pair of spavined, bunged-up old hacks, dyed and doctored for the occasion. Since this episode Mrs. Hunter has not been troubled with callers desirous of ssll- ing a «et of black or milk-white horses for her private use. .But all horse-dealing fakers have come to the conclusiop that there is one lady in this City who cannot be imposed upon and who is smart enough to protect ber- self against the tricks of sharpersand frands. Captain Thomson is especially fond of - black Horses, and acted in perfect good aith in the matter. He will doubtless be very indignant when he learns of the de- ception which was practiced upon him. VIOTORY FOR A RAILWAY, Rehearing Ortered by the Supreme Court, Threé Justices Dissenting. In a dissenting opinion yesterday Jus- tice Temple of the Supreme Court, Jus- tices Henshaw and Beatty concurring, condemned the reckless running of electric cars. The sut was that of Amanda P. Everett and Marchia A. Everett, by her guardian, against the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric Railway Company. A caron the railway in ques- tion struck Charles £. Everett as he was riding a bicycle on McClintock avenue in Los Angeles. The test mony was that the motorman of the car rang his bell as he drew near Everett, but that he gave no sign that he neard the bell. Everett died and the heirs secured a judgment against the railway company, NEW TO-DAY. Eczema sney Grew Worse under Treatment of Best e Physiclans. Tried .

In the opinion of the dissenting Justices it was set forth that if eleciric-cars cannof be safely handled it is criminal to permit them to be operated on t:.e street, but that it is a matter of common knowledge that they can be managed properly. The court reversed the judgment and ordered a rehearing. HEYNEMAN ASSAULTED. He Was Struck Repeatedly by F. Cook Caldwell in Judge Sanderson’s Courtroom Yesterday. Attorney A. Heyneman is hlvinz.con- siderable trouble in regard to the lmt_ of Zalisky against Newman. Zalisky clnlm_s $50,000 dumages for the alienation of his wife’s affections. Mr. Heyneman is Newman’s legal rep- resentative, and last Wednesday in Judge Sanderson’s court made a remark to the effect that the suit is a case of blackmail. This aspersion was instantly resented by Reel Terry, one of Zalisky’s attorneys. He struck at Mr. Heyneman, but missed, and the trouble was stopped by the bailiff. Yesterday was the time for resuming the taking of depositions, and Attorney F. Cook Caldwell went to Judge Sanderson’s courtroom to participate in the examina- tion, being associated with Mr. Terry as counsel for Zalisky. Before court was called to order Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Heyneman engaged in a dispute, and Mr. Caldwell struck Mr. Heyneman in the face several times, causing his nose to bleed freely. Mr. Hey~ neman quickiy left the courtroom and the case was continued to Monday. Mr. Caldwell explained by saying that Mr. Heyneman had called him a liar and a coward. Mr. Heyneman’s version of the affair is as follows: OB, AOTTANLIS BEARD IS GONE Bold Stand Taken by the Supervisor-Elect of the Seventh. Bent Upon Reform, the Good Doctor Assumes a’ Stern Countenance. Puzzling, Perplexing Incidents Follow the Loss of the Silky Vandyke. Strange, fantastic dreams haunted the busy brain of Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, the genial Supervisor-slect of the Seventh Ward, ‘Wednesday night. Samson, in the days of his most cruel bondage to the Philistines, never suffered such anguish as did the good druggist - doctor - Democrat on Thanksgiving eve, and the City Dad-elect of the Seventh dreamed that he, 1 ke Sam- son, had been beguiled to part with his hirsute appendages of head and face by a SUPERVISOR-ELECT ROTTANZL Before Shaving. After Shaving. The deposition was postponed until this morning at 10 o’clock. 1 was on time at that hour and was sitting in a large arm chair on the platform of Judge Sanderson’s courtroom, reading a newspaper. Suddenly Attorney Caldwell stepped in front of me and said: “Did yon mean_that statement you made in court on Monday?” I told him I most_assuredly gdid, and that any statement I made in a couriroom I was respon- sible for. Without a word of warning ana while I was sitting with my hands engaged he struck me in the face, and beforeIcould even protect myself he struck me again. 1told him I considered it a most cowardly and brutal assault aud that none buta des- perado would attack a man in the position I was in. He then attempted to strike me again, but missed. He is an immense man, weighing about 240 pounds, while I am very small in comparison. After giving his version of the fracas Mr. Heyneman dilated upon the case to the extent of explainine why he consid- ered himself warranted from the evidence in declaring the case in question to be one of b ackmail. He said_he had gone privately to Attor- ney Reel B, Terry’s office and told him it was simply an instance ot blackmail and that he (Terry) would socn be sorry that he had ever permitted his name to be con- nected with it. No arrests have been made, but it is un- derstood that Chief Crowley has promised to send ten policemen armed to the teeth into Judge Sanderson’s ccurtroom next Monday to assist in keeping the peace. A SCHOOL BOARD CAUCUS Committees Selected Last Night by the Board of Educa- tion. Charles L. Barrington Elected Presi- dent of the Board and a Health Committee Mooted. The new Board of Education held a prolonged caucus at Dr. Drucker’s office last night, which resulted in the selec- tion of a president and of a chairman for each of the commuittees of the board. The following were agreed upon: Presi- dent of the board, Charles L. Barrin ton; Finance Committee, Samuel L Waller; Classification, W. A, Derhar; Rules, Dr. George L. D ucker; Balaries, Edward L. Head; Qualifications, Benjamin Armer; Buildings and Grounds, Thomas Burns; Suppiies, C. A. Bantel; Judliciary, J. L. Halstedt; Printing, Edward Gallagher; Visiting, Thomas R. Carew; Janitors, Ed- ward Gallagher. After considerable - discussion it was de- cided that it would be a zood idea to es- tablish a Health Committee, the subject receiving particu!ar consideration because of t e present epidemic of diphtheria. It was agreed that if the committee shall be established Samuel L. Waller will be se- lected as chairman. Thecaucus was quite harmonious throughout. The chairman will avpoint tue other committeemen be- fore the first of the year. PIQUED HIS CURIOSITY, 1hat Ys Why Mr. Archibald Will Probably Ascend a Mountain by Balloon. James F. J. Archibald has arrived from the East. He confirmed the news yester- day that he proposes to go to New Mexico to view and explore a mountain upon the crest of which 500 Navajo Indians were, according to lezend, starved to death many years ago. This mountain is well known to all iravelers over the Santa Fe Railruad and is customarily pomnted out to persons passing for the first time over the line by Puilman porters and ‘‘peanut butchers.” Two stories are given to account for the starving to death of the Indians at that poiat. One isthat they were besieged by hostiles, who drcve them up there and kept them from coming down. Tha other story is that a landslide broke away the mountain precipitously, and the Indian- could not getdown. The last-named story was telegraphed from Chicago to make it fit in with a story that Mr. Archibald would reach the summit by the use of a balloon. Mr. Archibald says that he will go to thesummit merely for the adventure of it, the ptace having piqued his curiosity. He will possibly use a balloon, for that seems the easiest way for him toget up. He will start next week. ——————— Supreme Court Examinations. The regular Supreme Courtexaminations tor the admission of candidates for practice at the bar has been extended irom December 28 to Monday, Jenuary & cooing Delliah, who afterward betrayed him into the hands of the enemy. Then a change came over the spirit of his dreams. Great Scott! He dreamed he was Harvey Scott, editor of the Port- land Oregonian, whose facile pen was re- cently dipped in slush mixed with gail and shaken over the fair name and fame of California. “By the statue of Twin Peaks!” shrieked the good doctor as he tossed restlessly about, “‘I’'m neither Samson nor Harvey Scott. What mean these strange hal- lucinations ?"" With a mighty effort he rose in bed and insiinctively his right hand went to his head and drifted down to his face. Alas! it was only too true. Slowly the dawn of memory entered his puzzled brain and he recalled that the day before he had per- mitted his tonsorial artist to remove that beautiful Vandyke beard so familiar to constituents in the Seventh Ward and urchins who made collections of election cards. With many a heart-burning the suc- cesssul candidate viewed his boyish face in the mirror as be adjusted his cardinal necktie and mused o'er the past. How many weary, dreary months, even years, had he watched the growth of that beautiful beard. But there was balm in the consolation that when duty called he would not falter. Had not the citizens of the Seventh chosen !im as their cham- pion? Had they not expressed a desire for reform in every department of the city government? Was it not his duty to begin this reform in hisown personal ap- pearance? Nevér mind what the Popu- lists might say; he would risk their right- eous anger. With these good resolutions the re- former of the Seventh completed bis morning tuilet and sauntered forth to give thanks in any way that might seem good to him. He had rot reckoned, however, on the surprise of his friends. At his drugstore his clerk eyed him coldly when he issued the usual mornirg instructions, and the doctor was compelled to produce a card in his attempt to identify himself as the proprietor of the establishment. A few minutes later he accosted a group of friends with “Hello, boys!” They looked at him suspiciously and one asked, “Who is the impudent fellow?’" Again the Supervisor-elect was compelled to establish his ideniity. “And why, doctor, have you decided to masquerade on Thanksgiving day ?”’ asked one of the friends after the doctor had “fixed” it with the assemblage at the bar. “Indeed,” repliea the reformer, ‘it is not a masquerade at ail. It is done in the interest of reform. It'sa long story, but Tll shorten it. You m all remember that I based my canvass for Superyisor of tbe Seventh ward principally upon the promise of reforming the many and glar- ing evils of this great City and —" “Well,” interrupted one of the friends, *‘and what has reform to do with the loss ofyour beard?’ “A great deal, indeed,” resumed the druggist-doctor. “Who ever heard of a man entering upon such a Herculean task without first making bis countenance as stern as his purpose. My fellow-citizgns, when I realize the terrible responsibility resting —'’ “Let’s have another,” said one of the as- semblage, and the remainder of the doc- tor’s peroration was drowned by the clinking of glasses. And so it went throughount the day. Over and over again the good Supervisor- elect was compeiled 1o establish his iden- tity and explain the purposes of his dar- ing transformation. Finally the story reached the press and some of the reporters suggested that the doctor was ambitious to become a journal- ist. Some of the old-timers remembered how fond the docior was of the newspaper business and bow he had masqueraded as ;:Iol:omr at the entrance of masquerade Be all these stories as they may, the bard fact remains that the doctor is beard- less, and rumor bas it t..at the reformer is in danger of a Popocrat boycott. ‘Will Have to Stand Trial.

The Veteran Fireman Was Tried for Piracy in Stormy Times. A Long and Brilliant Record in the Fire Department, Ending With Honors. Jobn L. Durkee, pioneer policeman, Su- perintendent of Streets and veteran fire- man, lies seriously ill at his home in this City. Though Mr. Durkee has been on the exempt list for many years, the has continued to be a prominent figure on the streets until his recent illness. Few men among all San Francisco’s illustrious pioneers are better or more [ 72, Market and Jomes Strests ure in the Fire Department, finishing his career as Fire Marsbhal with honors and retiring on a handsome pension ten years ago. One of the most notable episodes in Mr. Durkee's career was his arrest and trial for piracy in 1856, the event growing out of the active part he took with the vigilantes in the memoraole days when rude though speedy methods were taken to terrify and exterminate evil-doers. This vrave charge was made against the veteran who now lies ill, because he was the most dauntless and sturdy of a mem- orable band of meu that seized a quantity of arms and ammunition from a schooner in the bay early in 1856 The munitions of war wereon the way from Benicia to San Francisco, whereupon the eager men bent on stamping out crime sent some of their chosen warriors to the front to con- summnate the bold scheme which the au- thorities afterward called piracy. In September, 1856, Durkee was ac- quitted on the ground that the seiznre of weapons on a schooner in the bay near San Leandro was not a seizure of anything upon the high seas, that vart of tne bay being a mere interior inlet. There was great excitement in San Francisco at the time, In 1859 Mr. Durkee, who had won much reputa.ion for bravery and strategy, was weil know as a fearless policeman. The duties of ther office did not please him very well, however, f r he longed for some peaceful pursuits. In 1862 he was fora time Deputy Superintendent of Streets, but by 1865 he had become fire marshal at a salary of $2400 a year. He continued in this office with marked success until October 15, 1886, at which time he was re- tired on a handsome pension by the Board of Fire Underwriters. Later the pension was made $100 a month for life. In addition to his other qualifications, Mr. Durkee has often distinguished him- self as a writer of clever abilities. On July 17, 1888, he wrote an interesting article on widely known than Mr. Durkee. For many years he has been a conspicuous fig- JOHN L.

OAPTAIN RICHARDSON'S DENIAL He Did Not See Fiizsimmons Box, Nor Did He Box, Nor Would He Box. The Brilish ship Pendragon Castle is at present tied up in Oakiand Creek. She came here from Newcastle, N. 8. W., with 3554 tons of coal, and in a few days will load wheat for Sydney. The rate is 19 shillings a ton, but even at that figure the vessel will make more money than a charter at a }ttle advance for a voyage to Liverpool would bring. Inadvertently Captain Richardson’s name was mentioned as one of several who visited Fitzsimmons a eouple of aays ago. The Pendragon Castle has not been in Richardsons Bay this year, and while Captain Richardson may have been on a visit to some of his brother captains whose vessels are tied up at Sausalito, still he was not present when Fitzsimmons put on the gloves and ‘“‘boxed for fun.” Captain Richardson says most emphatically that he never uses boxing-gloves and that he is not “so easily frightened.” —_——— Order of Foreign Wars.
