Has Served a Term Before, and Few Cities Have Escaped His Money. Even Trial Jurors Were Unable to Distinguish His Coin From the Genuine. SEATTLE, Wasm, Dec. 10.— Gay | Harshman, alias “the Kansas Kid,” the most notorious counterfeiter that ever struck the Northwest, was convicted this afternoon in the Federal court and the Government authorities hope to see him go to McNeils Island for a long time. That he has caused them much tronble in the Northwest there is no doubt, and there are few n the Northwest that | has not had some of his money. He was sent up one year ago for counterfeiting. At that time nothing was known of his career, but after he went to jail it was ti learned that he was at the head of a gang | that operated in this State and in Oregon and California. When he got out of jail, two months aygo, the officers tried to keep track of him. They heard that he was in tern Washington and went there in | search of him. | While there they arrested a man named George Conkling for passing counterfeit $5 pold pieces. It was learned that Conk- iing's home w. n this county. The offi- cers found it and searched it and the first thine they came across w photograph of the Kansas Kid and a letter giving his | whereabouts. Tuey located him in a log- | ging camp near by. Conkling turned State’s evidence after receiving a slight sentence. | The United States District Attorney | made a statement to-day that Harshman | has passed over $10,000 of fake money that | is known to the Government, and how | much that is not koown cannot be esti- mated. While the case was being tried | the jury d to distinguish Harshman’s | money from the genuine, but confessed in the end their inability to do so. The local Government officers say he is the worst man at the business they have encoun- tered in recer t v SAN JOAQUIN'S EXHIBIT. ‘ Yill Make a Fine Display of Oranges, Oiives and Nuts at Fresno's | Citrus Fair.

Imprisoned at Ensenada for Guano Smug- gling—He Sends a Strong Case to Washington. SAN DIEGO, Can., Dec. 10.—Captain Jensen and his two sailors, Anderson and | McAllister, who were captured on the schooner Eilen at Elida Island, Lower California, November 7, and who are now in the Ensenada prison awaiting trial for smuggling guano, have sent a strong case to the State Department at Washington. Captain Jensen, who is handling the case for the sailors as well as himsel, claims that his capture was effected by the steamer Carlos Pacheco on the high seas, and not within the three-mile limit, as was at first supposed. In response to Captain Jenzen's appeal, | Secretary Olney has directed Vice-Consul | Godbe at Ensenada to investigate the casé thoroughly and ascertain if possible from reliable witnesses whether Captain Jensen’s claims are true. If so, a serious | question will at once arise unless the | prisoners are immediately released. Captain Jenson claims to have plenty of witnesses to prove his allegations, and Vice-Consul Godbe h, admitted to an American visitor to Easenada that he re-'| eards the claim a strong one. Whatever the outcome of the Jensen case, it is set- | tled that the steamer Pacheco will not go on any more craises in pursuit of guano poachers. i Colonel O. J. Crewe-Read, manager of the Mex can Land and Colonization Com- | pany, is quoted as saying that he will not | permit the company to be used in any | business that will endanger the present | friendly relations between his company | and the Mexican or American Govern- ments. The fact that his company is a British corporation and the further fact | that the steamer flies the Nicaraguan flag | further complicate matters and call for | caution. | iigis DEVOURED BY HOGS. | Awful Fate of an Infant During the | Absence of Its Parents. | SAN DIEGO. CAL., Dec. 10.—A baby boy, | the son of Gregorio Chavez of Seris, So- | nora, was killed in a horrible manner last week. The parents of the child were forced to make a journey, and left the child iz care of.an ignorant servant girl. She left the child as soon as the parents’ backs were turned and flirted with a soldier from Torin. In an hour or so she returned with the soidier to the spot and found a drove of hogs going in and out of the dcor. Running forward the truant servant was horrified to find picces of the | baby’s flesh being eaten by the animals. The child had been dragged from its crib to thbe floor,.and there the ravenons swine fought over it, tearing it to pieces and covering the floor with its blooa. Bt Acquitted at Red Bluf.

Talk of Again Securing Bill Lange as Coach—Lecture on “Ethics of Engineering.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec. 10.—The baseball men have no intention of losing their grip this vear on the cham- pionship pennant and University Club trophy cup, if taking time by the forelock wili help to retain them. Last year the players had the benefit of training under a professional ball-piayer, Bill Lange, and the men think they were sufficiently bene- fited by it to warrant his engagement this year. The executive committee has been requested to grant the engagement of'a coach, but owing to the unsettled | state of the student body finance, nothing can be granted until after January L.

Reedy, janitor of the City Hall, committed suicide about 8 o’clock this morning in a room adjoining the Public Library by tak- ing strychnine.

Vainly Sought to Escape the Gallows by Pieading Guilty. Now Protests Innccence and Blames His Partner, His Lawyers and the Court, SAN RAFAEL, CarL, Dec. 10.—The ex- ecution of Marshall J. Miller will take place at San Quentin at 10 A. M. to-mor- row for the murder of an old pawnbroker in Marysville on May 1, 1895. He had a partner in the crime, Stewart A.Green, who with better luck received a life sen- tence by stipulation of the jury. Green was tried first; then Miller, by acvice of counsel and hoping to get the same sen- tence, pleaded guilty, but the Judgesen- tenced him to death. He secured astay on appeal, but was refused a new trial. He has felt sanguine that the Governor would commute his sentence, but was to- day.informed by his lawyers that the Gov- ernor refused. He requested this morning that no newspaper men nor anybody else should be admitted to see him except the priest. The Warden complied with his request. Father Conley has been with him to-day, and after a long interview Miller aesired to see a reporter, so permis- sion was given to a CALL reporter to inter- view him; but he had changed his mind, he said, and Father Conley would give out to-morrow what he had to say. Miller is a free talker, however, and made it apparent that his only statement was a tirade against Green, his partner in crime, of whom he spoke with much bit- terness. He denies that he is guilty, and will doubtless go to the gallows asserting his innocence. He says that his convic- tion was all jobbery; that he has never | committed any crime or ever been ar- rested before. He was convicted, he says, on the testimony of two ex-convicts. He claims that be was given' drugged liquor and taken into the murdered man’s store, and that was all he knew about it. He blames his lawyers and the court and is particularly bitter againat Green, whom he charges with various crimes If he does not change very much to-night he will go to the gallows claiming that his execution is a miscarriage of justice and the murder of an innocent man. Miller talked in a iree and easy, indif- ferent manner, with much profanity in- termixed and with perfect coolnessand | nerve. Hesaid he was a widower and that his parents were dead. He is about 50 years of age, a native of Ohio, and so far as known has no family nor relatives on this coast. He had a barber-shop in Marysville, but had been there only a short time, ha:ling from Arizona and be- fore that from Mexico. The old man for whose murder he will be hanged was named Julius Pier. FIGHT WITH A BUFFALO BULL. Two Hunters. Have Exciting Sport* on Antelope Island, in Great Sait Lake. SALT LAKE, Uram, Dec. 10.—One of the last members of the buffalo family was | killed on Antelope lsland, in Great Salt Lake, Tuesday, the hunting party killing | itrarriving in this ecity to-day. The snimal | was an old bull, who has for some years |lived on the island undisturbed, but re- cently on account of his becoming savage it was decided to shoot him. He showed fight, and Colonel Shaughnessy and Man- | ager Brown of the Western Unioh Tele- graph Company, who did the shooting, | narrowly escaped irnjury. The baffalo was found in one of the canyons up the island, and when driven | out by horsemen became very beiligerent, | going throvugh barbed-wire fences without ceremony; attacking men and horses and | causing general consternation. Colonel | Sheughnessy fired the first shot, whick did not penetrate a vital point, and for a time it looked as though scme one would be ed, but Brown got action with a ‘Winchester at 200 vards and fired a bullet through the bison's heart, killing him in- stantly. He was brought to this city to- day and is now on exhibition. He weighed 2345 pounds. This is one of the largest buifaloes ever seen in the city. SRS SRR BEEKS A BETTER LIFE. Forlorn Condition of a White Woman Who Eloped With a Chinaman, PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 10.—A white woman, aged 21 years, giving the name of Mrs. Charley Tom, was arrested here Tuesday for drankenness and she was sent to the Open Door Reformatory. Since then disclosures have been made that her name was Amelia Stratton, and less than four years ago she was one of three daughters in a well-to-do family in Pres- cott, Ariz. Charley Tom was a domestic in that family, and on one occasion he surreptitiously gratified Amelia’s curiosity by aliowing her to take a number of whiffs from his opium pipe. Commonly the in- troductory inhalations are anything but agreeable, but in the case of the girl she at once became fascinated with the effect. Her natural refinement within a year's time thereafter vanished, and one summer night in 1894 she and the Chinaman eloped. They went to Phenmx before Amelia’s people knew whither she had gone, else Charley would long since have taken his departure from this globe. They were married in Ph@nix. Bince then, it is claimed, there has been mno communi- cation between the outcast and her family . The woman expresses a wish tolead a better life, but the authorities are ina quandary what to do with her. AR DEaD AT PORTLAND, FELL George W. Staver, a Prominent Mer- chant, Sucoumbs to Apoplexy.

The Community Shocked by Mrs. J. 5. Young’s Bad Accident. SANTA CRUZ, CaL.,, Dec. 10.—Mrs. J’ 8. Young, the victim of a supposed rail- road accident at Berkeley, but which accident more probably was the result of cerebral troubles, used to reside at Hazel Glen, Branciforte avenue, East Santa Cruz, one of the finest residences in this section. She suffered very severely from neuralgic pains in the head, often result- ing in mental aberration and strange diz- ziness, 8he was a lady of exceptional amiability ana was related to W. P. and C. H. Young of this city. Some nine Years ago she lost her son, Cor{‘ L. Young, in a mysterious gun accident. This caused her much pain, and the troe facts of his death have never been cleared up. Some three months ago the family moved to Dwight way, Berkeley, and it is the opin- ion of relatives here that the contusion on the back of her head was the result of fall- ing across the track while momentanly afflicted with one of her dizzy attacks, su- perinduced probably by heat caused by exertions to catch the 6 P. M. train at Berkeley. Bincere and deep regret is ex- pressed on all sides at the accident. ——— The Sheriff Still in Possession.

Progress of the Investigation Before the Bering Sea Claims Commission at Victoria. VICTORIA. B. C., Dec. 10.—The British case in behalf of the schooner Carolena’s claims having been practically completed before the Bering Sea Claims Commission this morning, Hon. Mr. Dickinson ob- tained a postponement of the hearing of evidence till to-morrow so tbat he and his colleagues might have time to look over the British evidence. He, however, put in scme preliminary evidence so as to save as much time as possible. Upon Mr. Dickinson starting to read ex- tracts from the United States case pre- sented at Paris, Mr. Peters raised the ob- jection that while it was quite competent for the Unitea States to use any of the British cases at Paris against the British side now, it was not permissible to again use statements made by the United States av Paris unless simply qualifying the ex- tracts from the United States case used by the British before the present commission. Mr. Dickinson replied that the extracts were simply for qualifying the extracts read by the British side. Mr. Peters had read extracts irom the United States case to show that the seals had been nu- merous in Bering Sea in 1886, and the ex- tracts the United States now wanted read were to show that even if they were there was no proof that the schooner could have caught them. Peters said that the extracts were not aualifying but distinctly different. The commissioners, however, decided that Dickinson could read his extracts and that geuntleman proceeded to do so. They were from the affidavits of witnesses of the United States staiing that two-thirds or even more of the seals were lost tothe hunters. Dickinson next wanted to put in the naturalization papers of A. F. Bechtel for the purpose of showing that Bechtel had been a United States citizen before he be- came a British subject. Bechel, it will remembered, had a mortgage on the Car- olena when seized and only became a Brit- ish subject some years later. % Peiers objected to the naturalization papers going in as entirely irrelevant. He objected to the citizenship of Bechtel coming up at all. However, that wasa question which would no doubt come up on final argument. As Justice King pointed out thatthe docaments did not prove Bechtel was aun American before he became a British sub- ject and that the document would incum- ber the report of the proceedings, Dickin- con withdrew the papers, and after the United States had put in a letter from the Department of Fisheries of Canada, dated July 26,1887, 1o show that Mr. Munsie had been informed from Ottawa of the de- cision ot the United States Government in April of that year to give back the schooner Carolena, the commission ad- journed. Al e STATE PRISON AFFAIRS. Biennial Report of the Directors Showing the Condition and Needs of the Institutions. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Dec. 10.—The biennial report of the State Board of Prison Directors has been submitted to Governor Budd. Tbe report points out that the question how to employ the large number of prisoners at Folsom and San Quentin at some occupation which would prove profitable is a question full of diffi- culties and one which the board has not yet solved. Itis apparent, says the report, that the jute millis not and never wiil be, in the opinion of the directors, a money-making institution for the State. It has been run at s loss, although it must not be for. gotten that 1t has been of untold benefit to the farmers of the State. It has been a benefit, says the renort, to a class of people whn deserve ail they can get. The report further declares: After very careful consideration and investi- gation we are strongly of the opinion that much benefit would result were the prisoners consolidated at Folsom. The free power there means the saving of agreat deal of money each year, and beside the per ca rita for maintain- ance would be much lower were the number of enmneu greater, ‘We believe it would be of untold benefit to have constructed at Folsom additioral prison room on the most approved and modern plan. This need not be done 1mmediately, but suffi- cient appropriation coula be made so that during the next two years it could be com- menced and some of it completed. and then an additional appropriation made afterward to complete it with. With the prison labor and free power and the granite on the ground, a model prison could be constructed at & nominal cost. The cost of the change would not be great, and we reiterate all that said on the subject in our report two years ago. The report states that the parole law has thus far worked well and done much to reform those who have been accorded its privileges. The rock-crusher has been a decided snccess and has matenally re- duced the price of road material in all places where distance has not made the cost of transportation too great. The re- rort embraces these recommendations rom the board: First—That some appropriation be made looking to the enlargement of the Folsom Prison, with the idea of future consoiidation, Second—That the Legisiature take some action with reference to the employment of prisoners at industries other than the manu- Iacture of jute fabric. Third—That the provisions of the Ostrom law governing the sale of jute bags at San Quentin be repealed and the board be left free 10 act in the matter of the disposal of the same. Fourth—Thet appropriations be made for the construction of an insane ward st one of ibe prisons; also, for the building of & whari at San Quentin, and for the purpose of secur- ing for the Folsom prison a system of sewerage wiil be aporoved of by State Board of Healtn, The report of Warden Aull to the Board of Prison Directors is incorporated in the report to.the Governor. Itshows that the prison at Folsom is deriving benefits from the improvements made by years of hard labor about the vprison, inciuding free power, free ice and practically free light. The cultivation of the prison farm has also done much to reduce the cost of maintenance. The Warden urges the pur- chase of additional land to meet the re- uirements of the prison. The heaith of the prisoners is good, the death rate being lower than in any institution of the sort within the Warden’s knowledge, showing the effect of absolute cleanliness.

STOCKTON, CaL., Dec. 10.—The board of directors of the State Insane Asylum met to-day, but did little save to transact routine business. Attorney Louttit appeared before the oard with reference to settlement of the :ns‘e against the estate of Uriah Martin, which he had won for the asylum, but in which a new trial had been granted by mith. Jnlggewsnnmd to know whether the asylum directors were willing to accept a com promise or desired 10 g0 ahead with @ new trial. The directors were of opinion that they preferred a new trial, but as the directors have no power to engage the ser- vices of an attorney the matter will be re- ferred to Attorney-General Fitzgerald. A resolution authorizing the board to employ a collector to collect outstanding claims due the asylum on a basis of a 1C per cent commission, af er first obtaining consent of the Attorney-General, was passed. —_———— Wholesa'e Dizcharses at Mare Island.
