THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1896. BLAMED TO THE / MORMON ELDER Marshall Heirs Seek to Recover a Mission San Jose Estate. Now in the Possssion of a Man Whom the Old Pioneer Beiriended. Suit Based cn a Promise Made to a Father When on His Deathbzd. OARLAND OrricE SAN FraNcisco CALL.) 908 Broadway, Dec. 11. Few stories tind their way into the Su- preme Court which equal in general inter- est the historic tale told in an appeal in in the case of the Marshall estate of Mis- sion Ban Jose. Dr. R. L. Marshall of Oakland promised his father on his deathbed that he would do everything 1n his power to see that the estate of the old pioneer went to the rightful heirs. The suit was once filed in Alameds Co y, but was dismissed with- out prejuc on account of the alleged ilatoriness of the prosecution. The ap- al is taken on the ground that the wit- es not be found, and that all iue diligence was shown by the heirs. Earl Ma Il was born in 1799, and came round the Horn in the old ship Brooklyn in 1847. He at once located at M on San Jose and embarked in the dairy business. In 1828 Earl married Le- titiu Dorsev, but the couple had no issue. In the year of Marshall’s arrival there came to the new colony Sam Brannan and some Mormon followers, and in about 1865 it is claimed that Marshal! became a | convert to the Mormon religion, and throughout his life remained subject to the influence of the Mormon doctrine. | | | DR.

Johnson’s story, as told to John T. Flemming, the attornevy, who lives in Alameda, is that_after being shot by the | officer he ran to East Oakland, where he hid over night and then went to Alameda o see if the attorney could not show him a way out of the difficult, He showed a bullet wound in his shoul- | der as evidence that he was hit by Schu- | man’s bullet. - About the year 1828 Ear! Marshall took der his care a child named Simeon ivers, who was then about three years age, and kept him till he arrived at the age of manhood. In December, 1863, Marshall conveyed to Stivers one-haif of all his real property and the two then became partners in the farming business. Little by little Marsuall became more feeble and infirm, until finally he was so capable that he required some person to and feed him, and this was done by uc 5, ers. 1 Marshall, who is now striving to 1 “his promise to his dead father, s that about 1877 Stivers commenced ert to his own use.the sbare of his Earl Marshall, and has continuea e the rents and profits of the prem- ises up to the present time. The basis of the complaint is an alle- on relating to James W. Gillan, a yrmon elder and preacher. By reason the religious fellowship existing be- tween Gillan and Marshalil, and because of the age and infirmity and childishness of the old pionesr farmer, Gillan, it is said, gained great influence over the old out ayear after the arrival of the mon elder it is alieged that Gillan and e/ ber to take adyan- | § Marshall and induce. him to make to James W.

A Gardener’s Love Brought Him a Bullet Wound in the Shoulder, Taken for a Burglar, When He Only Wanted His Ten- der Missives. Was O AKLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CaLL,} 98 Broadway, Dec. 11. | Back of the arrest of John Johnson, a young Dane who was taken into custody by the police on Wednesday last on a charge of disturbing the peace, is asiory of love and a thrilling scene that those most interested have been’ trying very hard to keep quiet: Johnson was empioyed at the bandsome Kimbail home on Thirteenth and Madison streets as a gardener. In the same resi- dence Miss Isabella Johnson, a Swedisk girl, filled the position of housekeeper. Miss Johnson was no relative of tle cardener, and being comely, Joun’s heart went out to her and he proceeded to cast sheep’s eyes at her in the most approv_ad fashion. ~As far ascan be learned, Miss Johnson discountenanced John's ad- vances and he made little headwzy with his wooing. 3 Finally, through paying more attention to the housekeeper's movements than (o his flowers, John was discharged and re- moved from the sight of his charmer. His ardor was not cooled, however, and he hung about the place, and when un- able 1o see the fair 1sabella sent bher ten- der mussives and a picture of himself] to remind her that his heart was true. These actions finally so.mc-nsed the housekeeper that she told him to begone and show his face no more. . Then John concluded that it was time to quit, but #iso felt that it would be well 10 get his letters and the picture back. He could not get the afticles by cal mi_on Miss Johnson, for she refused to see him, 50 be decided on another tack. One evening when the iamily was out he made his way into the house and Miss Johnson’s room, and after securing his love-letters started out again. As he reached the front of the residence tle duughters of the house confronted \ It is now | vaiuable, ana one of the most profit- Flemming induced him to goto Dr. Stenzler to have the wound dressed and the gardener then returned to Oakland, | where he was captured by the police. | _He declares that he still loves Miss | Jobnson and that he only went into the house to secure the letters that she | scorned to answer. He declares also $hat | he will never bother her again for fear of a more dangerous wound. | BAnD effort will be made to get him off | with light punishment, as he appears to | think that he committed no offense that shou'd bring him within reach of the law. Riley Exonerates Gibney. | Edward Riley, the Deputy Sheriff who with Deputy Thomas Gibney was sus- pended by Sheriff Whelan for receiving money for transferring an insane patient from Ukiah to Stockton, says that Gibney | was not a party to the transaction. He | claims that the business was transacted | by himself and that he received and kept | the money, Gibney merely being present on the trip to look after other patients. | — e e | FORGOT HIS DUTY. | Operator Hammond Endea an Unhappy | Life by Taking Poison. OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 11.—0. E. Ham- mond, an operator for- the Associated Presses, died early this morning as the result of a does of poison. He was drink- | ing last nighit and seemed to be well sup- plied with money. His last drink was sodawater, after taking fwhich he fell back as though in a fainting fit. He was at | once taken to the Receiving Hospital and | the dcctor pronounced it a case of mor- | phine poisoning. Hammond had a wife and five children living in Alameda. A letter from his wife was found in his pocket, which plainly showed that he was spending in dissipa- tion what should have gone for his wife and children. One paragraph explains the rest. It says: ©If I should write what I have thought for the past ten days yvou would not care to read it. It is hard to bean ob- ject of charity when we ought to have plenty end to spare. I have paid out every cent' I had, expecting more, of course. Benacame over and found me crying.

OAKLAND, Car, Dec. 11—The story published this morning in the telegraphic dispatches about John Farrell and James Clinton of Syracuse, N. Y., and abeut their investment oi $48 in California which is mow worth $10,000, is not eredited in this city. W. R.

Broke Up a Home That He Was in Honor Bound to Protect. Samuel Puckett Charges William Young With Violating Friend- ship, Love and Truth. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO Cu,r.,} 908 Broadway, Dec. 11. Fraternal circles in this city are watch- ing with great interest the trial of Wil- liam Young of Fountan Lodge of Odd Fellows for alleged violation of friendship, love and truth. William Young and Steuart A. Puckett are prominent members of the order, and in the case now before the fraternal court Puckett is the prosecuting witness. He charges Young with breaking up his home, when he should have done ali he could to preserve its sanetity. ‘When the Alaskan gold fever broke out in Oakland last spring Puckett decided to run the risk of making a fortune or nothing in the north. He was doing fairly well in this city, but prospects were not so bright here as he expected in Alaska, 8o he went north with one of the parties that went from- Oakland. Before going he saw that his young wife was comiortable with her parents, and he corresponded reguiarly. Being an Odd Fellow he told his brethren of his inten- tention, and this information is consid- ered equal to placing a wife under the fra-’ ternal care of the lodge. ‘When Puckett returned he found that kis wife's affections had been alienated, and he had no difficulty in discovering that Young was the disturbing element. His wife declined to return to her husband and written charges were made to the lodge, which are now under investigation. Attorney Johns champions the cause of Puckett and Major Whitney 1s looking after the interests of Young. The defendantis placed in a very un- happy position. He does not deny that there is trouble in the Puckett flmify. but bhe wil not admit that the fault is his. His only escape seems to ve to blame tbe lady in the case for preferring his atten- tentions to those of her husband, and this he does not care todo. When the lodge has concluded 1t labors the case will go to the divorce court. 8ix years ago Steuart Puckett and Miss Tisch w-re lovers. The young lady was not then 17, and although her lover coun- seled seeking her parents’ consent, she wanted things her own way, so a little trip outside the Heads and a tugboat mar- riage were decided upon and carried out. The young couple lived together happily until Packett made his trip to Alaska. Many witnesses bave been on the stand befure the fraternal jury, and a verdict is expected in about a week. CALIFORNIA AT HAMBURG, H. 0. Trowbridge of Oakland Chosen to Represent the State’s Interests at the Big Fair. 0AKRLAND OFFICE SAN FRraNcIsco CALL, 908 Broadway, Dec. 11, H. O. Trowbridge of this city, one of the leading organizers of the Oakland Exposi- tion, received word to-day from the State Board of Trade that he had been unani- mously selected as its representative to the Hamburg Exposition of 1897. The State Board will also make an effort to have Governor Budd appoint Mr. Trow- bridge as Commissioner from this State. Twice during the past five years Mr. Trowbridge has been in Germany and is well acquainted with the conditions of American trade at Hamburg. He iy par- ticularly gratified at his appoiniment, and is confident that the exposition can be made to prove of great service to Califor- nia. “This is a most important exposition for California,” said Mr. Trowbridge to- day. “Itis purely a Lorticuliural exhibit, aud it is at such a time that this State has her best opportunity. The wine product, olive oil and everything that the orchard can produce will be represented, and it is in these lines that California makes her boast, and much will be expected of her. There are several reasons why this great opportunity thould not be lost. in the first place, Hamburg is the second mari- time city of the worid. Two years ago Liverpool led, but now it does not do so any longer. Hamburg is the great di; tributing port for the whole of Northwest Europe. F:m intimately acquainted with the situation of trade at that piace, and I feel confident that California fruit, espe. cially dried and canned fruits, wines and olive oil, only need to be proverly brought before that part of the world to insure a lucrative market. I conscientiously be- lieve that with intelligent introduction not less than one-half of the supply of the product of this State could find a market with Hamburg as a distribuiing center.” For Suanday Closing. OAKLAND, CaL., Dec. 11,—The City Council will be called unon to submit the question of Sunday closing to the yoters of the city at the spring municipal elec- tion held in April. The matter has been under consideration for some time, but was not made public until this evening at the quarterly convention of the Alameda Coanty Cnristian Endeavor Union at the Market-street Congregational Church, when President W. 8. Condon made an appeal 1o the endeavorers to pledge them- selves to lend all the assistance to the pro- moters of the work that lay in their power. There has been no organized effort along this line since the work of the Curis- tian Endeavor Union two years ago next Mareh when, by the precipitous act of their leader, the matter was so badly bun- gled that the retiring Council was unabie to act. Her Farewell Concert. OAKLAND, Car., Dec. 1L.—To-morrow night Miss Yaw will appear again at the Macdonough Tieater. There will be a complete change o programme, in which Miss Georgiella Lay, the pianiste, and Maximillian Dick, the violinist, will assist. MONEY FOR THE BLIND.

ALAMEDA, Carn, Dec. 1L—The im- mense attendance at the “Carnival of Nations'” last night was duplicated again to-day. The interest grows as the visitors talk of the wonaerful transformation scene in the armory and the beauty of the participants and their costumes. Almost by common consent the Scotch lassies, Miss Mabel Walker, Miss Clara Walker and Miss Kate Raisch, in Highland cos- tumes, were voted the most beautiful and handsomely dressed of the entire gather- ing. Kfiss May Bowcher in an appropriate costume of red, black, yellow and white made a zood second. She was the center of an admiring throng all day. Colonel and Mrs. E. J. Walker made ideal inn- keepers and were liberally patronized. The Blarney Castle, with its clock, 100 years old and Irish peat, was crowded day and night. 1ke programme was most enjoyable and consisted of the usual overture by the Arion Orchestra, followed by a grand march of the characters.

There are a number of experiences in real life from which interesting experi- ences can be gathered. The treasurer of a large manufacturing concern, whose name need not be given for the purpose of this article, has beemr compelled to give up drinking coffee on account of its effect on his stomach and nervous system. it was suggested that he try the health coffee *Postum Uereual,” as that is made of the healthful grains and takes the place of coffee very nicely. He rather felt that it was a foolish step to undertake to use any article with the expectation that it would take the place of coffee which his famiiy used of the bast grade of Mocha and Java mixed. How- ever, a package was oidered for the house and the next morning at breakfast the coffee pot came on as usual. When the beverage was .poured out and served to him he tola the servant that he had or- dered some Postum, a new drink, and did not care for the coffee. A laugh went round the table and he de.'ined to believe that the rich hquia with the aroma and fragrance thatreached his nostrils was the health coffee. lnves- tigation, however, convinced him of the fact, and its use day by day without the old sick feeling clinches the argument. Postum is ‘made by the Postum Cereal Co. (Limited), of Battle Creek, Mich., and has a winning way of 1ts own. ‘When once introduced into the family it answers every purpose of the finest coffee wl{houc the attendant aches and iils. Being composed strictly and wholly of the pure cereals there is no question or argu- ment or possible doubt recarding the healthful and nourishing properties, for children as well as adults.
