THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 18 GOVERNOR SADLER SIGNS THE BILL Pfize-Fighters Welcomed to the Sagebrush State. Rival Cities Already Striving for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons Contest. Th: Executive Declares Pugilism N.t Half as Brutal es Football. | CARSON, Nzv., Jan. 20.—The prize-fight bill was signed by Governor Sadler at 2:02 o’clock to-day and the news was on the | wire two minutes later. The promoters of the scheme had arranged a signal which they could commaunicate with a man in front of the telegraph office. After the pen which signed the bill was | laid aside the agent of 1 r | was on deck with a camera E t came from the photograph of the bill Enroliing Committee. He was not al lowed to do however. Governor Sadler, when asked his reasons for sign- ing the bill, said: “It was passed by a decisive majority in both houses. I received telegrams and letters from all over the State for and against the bill and the petitions, letters | and dispatches stood about 18 to 1in 3 of the bill. Public sentiment is for it and I believe it wiil b ng not only a great| deal of money to the State, but it will bring moneyed men here who will be able re: to personally investigate our urces. The license—$1000—is high enough to shut out everything but the big affairs, and the hig affairs will because of the | high price of admission bring only the better class of sports “Glove contests are taking place ne of every day in the leading cities Union. Men in all the walks of lif them and they must enjoy them or they would nmot pay togo. The East cannot | hold up its hands and call us ‘wild and woolly,’ for New York, and even the Quaker City have them. Glove contests are not half as brutal as football.” “What if they had attempted to pull the | fight off without passing the bill?” | “I should have enforced the old law, no matter what it cost the State to do sa.” “Would you have called out the troops?” I would if occasion called for such a course.” “Will you protect persons who promote fistic encounters in Nevada, should they comply with the law?"”’ “Yes. They will receive whatever offi- cial protection it is in my power to grant.” WHAT RENO CaN OFFER. Residents Believe Their Town Will Get the Big Contest. RENO, Nevapa, Jan. 29.—Prize-fight talk still occupies the almost undivided attention of Reno residents, and now that Governor Sadler has signed the bill legal- izing contests in Nevada every resident of Reno is on the alert to prove that his town should be selected as the location of the battle-ground. Inquiries from several quarters as to how many persons could be accommodated in Reno were received bere to-day. The answers sent to all were that at least 2500 or 3000 strangers couid be easily housed, and under a pinch double this number could be accommo- dated. Everything indicates that Reno will be chosen for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. It is on a main-line railroad, has the largest population of any town in the Btate, has the only telegraph facilities for handling the long accounts for the press, and has old prison walls, which with lit- tle expense could be made to accommo- date thousands of peopl il el CORBEIT COMING WESTWARD., May Train at Dencer for BHis Unpleas- antness With Lanky Bob. CHICAGO, IrL., Jan. 29.—James J. Cor- bett, who is to fight Fitzsimmons in Ne- vada on March 17, said to-nigkt to a reporter for the United Associated Presses: “I shall close my theatrical engage- ments at Kansas City a week from to-mor- row. Then I will make arrangements so that I can get a full six weeks of prepara- tion for the mill. 1intend to send a man ahead of me to make all arrangements for training quarters. I may train 1 Denyer or some other place at high altitade, and I don’t know whether I shall 2o to Ne- vada much ahead of the day fixed for the fight. “I bave received no notifieation from Stuart as to the location of the ring and I don’t care where it is. 1 suppose Stuart is waiting until he has the exact place de- cided upon. I don’t need more than a month’s training and I can pack up my apparatus at an hour’s notice and go to wherever the place is to be. Ihaveno “tip’ from Stuart as to where the fight will take place. “The signing of the bill by the Governor of Nevada was unknown to me, but I pre- sume that it means that the fight will be brought off in that State.” DOMESTIC TRAGEDY IN UTAH.

Juniors Morgan and Switzer Are Awarded the Other Two Positions. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Jan. 29.—In spite of the inclement weatner, a good-sized audience attended the last of the preliminary debates held in the chapel this evening. The subject of the debate was: “Resolved, that a system of muni- cipal government concentrating all execu- tive and administrative power in the Mayor should be adopted in Ban Fran- cisco.” At the close of the debate the judges withdrew to hold a private consultation before delivering their decision. Profes sors Brun, Barnes and Ross acted as judges ana Dr. Abbott presided. As the result to their deliberations J. M. Switzer, A. M. Morgan and Miss L. L. Stebbing were chosen to represent Stanford at its debate with Berkeley. The attention of the audience was held closely during the evening’s discussion, and the remarks of the speakers received merited applause. The affirmative was represented by J. W. Bell '97, C. E. Schwartz '99 and F. D. Hunt '00. The negative side of the question was presented by B. M. Palmer, '97; R. J. O'Neil, '97; C. N. Riggins, '98, and J. M. Switzer, ’98. The afhrmative orators brought out the point that the functions of government should not be divided to se- cure the best results in municipal affairs. The Federal system was advocated as a means of bringing about the desired re- sults. The responsibility could be tixed and greater interest would be taken in local elections. This was calculated to do away with existing evils. The negative maintained that “‘one man power” was not a democratic form of zov- ernment; that three heads or thirty heads were better than one in the admin- istration of city affairs. Taey advocated the introduction of civil service regulations to get competent of- ficials, ana they pointed out the fact that a Mayor with all the power would be in- fluenced by bad as well as good men. A. B. Morgan 98, of the successful trio, came to the front as an effective speaker last semester while president of the Bryan Sitver Club. He spoke in San Francisco and else- where during the campaign and gained s reputation as a orator. He represented the Philolexians De- bating Society in the preliminary debates, and was at one time president of that organization. He comes from Spanish Fork, Utah, and is taking a course in law at the university. J. M. Switzer '98 represented the stu- dent body in the preliminary debates. He, too, won distinction as an orator of no little ability during the Presidential campaign. . As president of the Stanford McKinley Club be acquired considerable experience in public speaking. He has an easy deliv- ery and makes a forcible argument, He is the newly elected manager of the Varsity football team. Switzer also served as business manager of the Sequoia, one of the college publications, and madea good record. He bails from Peru, Indiana, and is taking history for his major study. Miss Londa L. Stebbins surprised the audience during the first preliminary de- bate by making the most convincing talk of the evening. The excellent impression she made at that time led to her selection tnis evening as one of the debating trio. z She was chosen by the Saturday Night Club to contest in the preliminary debates. This is the debating club organized and conducted by the women students who take a lively interest in the questions of the day. Bbeis a ready and fluent speaker, and her selection by the judges meets with marked approval. Miss Stebbins is taking hygiene. FLAMES CHECK A BANDIT RAID [ Continued from First Page.| the “through’’ safe which was in the express-car fired by the robbers. The safe doors are badly warped by heat, and is is doubtful if the contents will bs worth anything should they be reached. The two small “way” safes were completely wrecked by dynamite. Speaking to-night of the company’s loss, Mr. She!by said: “Itis impossible at this time to esti- mate our exact lose. Itail depends upon the condition of the contents of the through safe. According to Messenger Butler's statement there was very little of value in the small safes. Ourloss will in, all probability amount to very little should the matter contained in the large sale not be injured. Until we are able to breax into this 1 can give no esumate.” Richard Koesler, manager of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, is of the opinion that the robbers cannot escape capture. The reward of $1000 for their apprehension, he thinks, will prove a sufficient incentive to insure the arrest of the bandits, His advices to-night state that every inch of ground in the vicinity of the spot where the hold-up occurred is being carefully patrolled by experienced trailers, and steps are being taken by State and courty officials to begin a man hunt on a prodigious scale, Portland City authorities -claim that they have excelient reasons for believing that the robbery was planned in this place and that the outlaws are well-known Port. land crooks. They decline to mention any names, however, or give out such informa- tion as they assert to be in their posses- sion. It is said on good authority that lo- cal officers have recently been shadowing two men who are suspected of having clear, comprehensive | been concerned in more than one train- robbery, and that“the suspects etvded their followers and disappeared from the city about twelve hours before the Rose- burg hold-up occurred. Both crooks are well known and are being searched for high and low without success. One Eastern drommer whose samvles were burned in the' baggage-car’ claims that his firm will lose not less than §10,- 000 in jewelry. Other extravagant claims are made by different persons, but rail- road officials place littls reliance in them. —_—— ARMORED EXPRESS CARS. Congressional Bill to Punish Train Robbers With Deatan. W. G. Curtis, engineer of maintenance of right of way of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, called attention to the fact, yesterday afternoon, that the United States was the on.y Government in the world that permitted train rob- beries. “In Mexico,” he_said, “which is said to be a half-civilized country, they put sol- diers on the trains when necessary, and the National Government a:sumes the responsibility of the pursuit, capture and conviction of robbers, and tue prevention of train robbing. Imagine train robberies in England, Germany, France or Russial How many have you eyer heard of taking place in those countries? The Govern- ment does not permit such crimes.” Congressman Hubbard of Missouri has recently introduced in the House of Rep- resentatives a bill to impose the death penalty for the crime of train robbery. In support of the bill he showed that during the last six years thers has been in this country 183 stoppages of trains for crimi- nal purposes, as a result of which seventy- three persons were killed and fifty-eight wounded by shots. Last year alone there were twenty-three hold-ups in which thirty-two passengers and train men were killed and many persons injured. In regard to the bill Mr. Curtis said: “Ido not approveof capital punishment for train robbery. That would make it harder to secure a_conviction. Imprison- ment for life would, in my judgment, be better.” 3 Following is the record by years of railroad hold-ups: 1890. 12 The James and Younger gang made the United States historic by their bold and outrageous attacks upon the public high- ways, and since their work was stopped there has been no cessation of beld and daring “holp-ups.”’ Less than a month ago a tramn was “‘held up”’ almost within the city of St. Louis. Within a mile of the principal depot in Cincinnati there was & “hold-up,”” and the engineer and fireman lost their lives. The land pirates deraileda train in Alabama only a few weeks ago and many lives were destroyed, The people of Cleveland distinctly remem- ber the robbery of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad train at Kendalivilie, Ind. Where people dwell in the proverbial lamb-and-lionlike peace an armored arse- nal almost seems unnecessary to protect the valusbles entrusted to an express com- pany. Yet a load of deadly projectiles pass through Cleveland, Ohio, daily. It runs between St. Louis and New York, both ways. The arsenal cars were built by order of the American Express Company. A bul- Jet-proof room is. located in the center of the arsenal, These rooms are built of steel one and one-halfinches in thickness. The steel doors. leading to .either end of the car each have a small *'peep-hole,” through which a gun can be ranged and fired. On either sideis a steel projection a foot wide and extending ¥rom the level of the window-sill to the roof. Ateach end and at the side of this” arrangement a porthole is provided, so that a rifle may be used to sweep the side of the train, front or rear, or to shoot from the side hole in any direction from the bomb- proof. Through apertures, where seats for two men are provided, the top of the train is brought into range. The side windows provide a clear view of what is going on across the right of way. On racks built in the bombproof-room are six riot guns, each holding six cartridges, each of which is filled with twelve heavy buckshot. In a case in the armored room is a, small caisson” in which 1s carefully packed ammunition sufiicient for a small army, not to say anything of the Hotch- kiss rapid-firing gan and & line of projectiles calculated to leave, when properly handled, little more than the bair of a baadit. When the train to which the arsenal is attached begins to slacken in speed two men armed with riot guns disappear. It is their duty to traverse the whole length of the train to keep the American nomad off. They keep a sharp lookout over all portions of the train until it isunder good speed. The warlike appearance does not end with the express-car. There is no diminution of the warlike aspect on the locomotive. The engine of course is a favorable place for the bandits to commence opers- tions. Buckled to both the fireman and engineer are *shooting arms” of the most improved pattern, while in the cab are two men armed with riot guns and always ready to shoot anything from a real robber toan owl. Four guards are stationed in the arsenal car, and they are armed with six-shot 48-caliber self-cocking revolvers. Each man’s belt carries filty extra cart- ridges. One of the two safes aboard the arsenal car is only opgned at the more important points along thhJine. Theother is marked local and is opened at certain places along the route, none of the ciiies being unim- portant. The dials removed from the safes wnen they start and station agents are equipped with extradials. These they must carry to the car before a safe can be opened. The inside bolts are first unfastened by the station agent, but he cannot gain access Wwithout the assistance of the mes- senger, whose duty it is to unlock a huge padlock. During a stop the express-car is watched witlr eagle eyes by armed men. One of the greatest aifficulties is keeping tramps off the cars. ‘‘Hoboes” are not permitted to ride fora minute after they are digcovered, and many a brief eng: ment has taken place between the train- men and these wanderers. The train force can be added to at sev- eral points. On the day express-cars small fire and burglarproof” safes. are carried. J. P. Gager, general agent of the American Ex- press Company, says these safes have never been entered. Of course, if :he highwaymen were -iven sufficient time they could open them, but it would be a long and difficult task. i KERUTTISCANITT o~ 1HE EOBBERY. Says the Burning of the Car Is Quite Damage Fnough. General Manager J, Kruttschnitt of the of his young wife. Southern Pacific Railroad Company re- ceived special information by wire in rezard to the ‘‘hold-up.” He said yes- terday afternoon: “The.robbers—there were two of them— climbed over the tender from the blind baggage in the usual manner and covered the enzineer and fireman With revolvers. The fireman, whose name I do not know, managed to drop off, and he went to Rose- burg and gave the alarm. The robbers made the engineer—the engineer's name is Morris—go back with them and cut off the baggage-car, and they then forced the engineer to run the car some distance abead. The robbers demanded admit- tance to the express-car, but the messen- ger refused to let them in. When they threatened to blow open the car he capitu- lated. They blew open two small safes. Ido not know what the contents were. The robbers did not get into the big safe in the car. After they had rifled the car and took whatever of value they could the robbers set fire to the car and burned it and its contents. The hold-up will not delay trains. “Is that the extent of the damage?” “Isn’t that damage enough?” replicd the general manager. TURNER NAMED- AT OLYMPIA. The Spokane Man to Succeed Squire in the United States Senate at Woshington. OLYMPIA, Wasg,, Jan. 29.—George F. Turner of Spokane was elected United States Senator on the twenty-fifth ballat by a vote of 68. Smith Douglas, who nominated Turner, was the man to cast the fifty-seventh vote—the onme which elected him. The Spokane people are wild with joy. The vote for the others was: Denny 25, Wescott 14, Squire 1. Westcott is the Populist middle-of-the-road man. A big sensation is likely to follow the election of Turner. Charges of gross cor- ruption are made. The committee ap- pointed to investigate them has subpe- naed all the Squire and Turner followers and will probe the affair to the bottom. 1t met to-night but brought out no defi- nite information, though witnesses swore that money wa4 used to corrupt legisla- tors. Tobiassen and Conine, Populist members, say that they will to-mor- row testify that tney were approached by one candidate and offered money to vote. They did not give the name of the can- didate to-night, but will to-morrow. The ‘Equua men atitempted to leave the City on the evening train, but were prevented by subpenas from the investigation com- mittee. The Senate committee appointed to in- vestigate the charges awainst Senator Plummer, of offering to sell his vote, find them not substantiated. Dr. Calboun, who made the charges, refused to put them in writing. This is regarded as a Squire scheme to prevent Plummer for voting for Turner to-day. SALT LAKE, Utag, Jan. 29.—The Sen- atorial deadlock in this State is unbroken. Three ballots were taken in the Legist: ture to-day, all substantially alike, as fol- lows: Thatcher 19, Rawlins (D.) 15, Hender- son (D.) 15, Mrs. S. E. Anderson (D.) 5, A. C. Bishop (R.) 3, F. 8. harris (D) 2, Chambers and Powers (D.) 1 each. There is & strong movement in favor of A. W. McCune as 2 compromise candidate and it is said his name will be brought be- fore the Legislature on Monday. He has been quietly working for recog- nition for ten days or more. Neither of the three leading candidales can now be elected, it is thought, and Mr. McCune or some other outsider’s chances are good. tsidblo oy FLED FROM SAN JOSE. Mrs. Herman Bruendel Elopes for the Second Time With a San Fran- cisco Gambler. PORTLAND, Ox., Jan. 29.—In Septem- ber last Herman Bruendel, a retired middle-aged saloon - keeper, living near San Jose, Cal., came to Portland in search The couple had been wedded about one year only, He was 50 vears old she but 17. 1t was a money match, but all the wealth the old man showered upon his ysuthful wife failea to win her affections. She un- fortunately fell in love with Harry Bernard, a young San Francisco gambler, who {requently visited San Jose. The result of these visits was that in the latter part of August Bernard and Mrs. Bruendel eloped, coming to Portland and bringing a considerable sum of the old man’s money with them. Three weeks later Bruendel came to P_orrl.llnd and succeeded in locating his wi The young woman not only expressed great contrition for her desertion of her husband, but she was prepared to return home with him, She persuaded bim, however, to give Bernard $1000 in coin so as to avoid a scandal. Bruendel was again seen here to-day, having come trom Seattle, almost “broken u?." with :zothar tale of domestic woe. All went weéll at his home, he says, until the early part of this month, when Ber- nard again came to San Jose. After Bernard had had several inter- views with Mrs. Bruendel she at last con- fessed to having more affection for the young gambler than for the old hus- band who was lavishing his wealth upon her. She again deserted him on the 13th inst., accompanied by the same characler- less fellow. On this occasion they went to Seattle, leaving a note for Bruendel to that effect. Again Bruendel followed his faithless wife, and upon meeting her she refused to recosnize him. AL STOCKTON SENDS VOLUNTEERS. Company of Men Organized to Fight Against the Oppressor of the Cubans. STOGCKTON, Car, Jan. 29.—Dr. C. H. Bulson of this city has been correspond- ing with General Colby in relation to a contemplated expedition to Cuba next spring, and has finally accepted commis- sion to enlist a company of seventy men. Working quietly, he secured pledges from about forty mer, who are to be supplied with food, clothing, transportation and equipment. They will embark with Gen- eral Colby from a gulf port within & month or two. They will be enlisted to serve in the insurgent cause for four months, The project was made public vesterday, and to-day Dr. Buison’s office was be- sieged by applicants who desired to fight Weyler for $40 per month and ‘found.” Most of them are youne men, fail of en- thusiasm, and several are members of the National Guard of California. Among these are Artie Gis ssi, Lieutenant Dasher, Namo Eschels, A. H. Jameson, Augustine Lanatia and Lieutenant 0'Con- neil. One or two active newspaper men have also expressed an intention to take notes from the field. g Pionesr Plant Diss at Santa Crus.

A JUMBLED WORDS TELL OF IRSANITY Disconnected Lstter Left by Nathan Dimick for His Wife. Believing She Did Not Love Him, H> Had Resolved to End His Career. Saata Cruz’s Coroner Unable to Locate the Money Possessed by the Suicide. ) SANTA CRUZ, Car, Jan. 20.—The Dim- ick tragedy is still the chief subject dis- cussed here, That Dimick set fire to his dwelling seems to admit of no dispute. That he took his own life seems evident from the letter found by K.J. Boulter yesterday, whick is generally accepted as genuine. But there is a suspicion in the minds of many that Dimick did notintend to cut short his existencein the manner in which the end came. It was suggested early in the Coroner’s investigation thai it would be well to de- termine by avtopsy whether or not Dim- ick had taken poison, but this was not done. The position in which the body was found indicated that he wag trying to escape when overcome, and the fact that he told his wife before her departure that he would lie down and rest is taken to in- dicate an intention to take poison after having fired the house. He had expressed a desire that his body should be cremated, and it'is thought he planned to accomplish this after the drug had rendered him unconscidus. The letter, which was discovered in a vlace where it would presumably have been safe had the house been destroyed, was as follows: Dear Hattie: 1do love you yet, but cannot endure the long-contiuued silence with you. You_do not love me, by your actions. Will you forgive me woen I am asleep? So good- Dy, Ido thismyself inmy right mind to get rid of trouble. N. B. Dnack. The letter was written in a firm hand, but the writer's hand seems to have been less steady when he addressed the en- velope, which bore the following super- seription: *Mrs, H. 8. Dimick, Penn. ave,, 93.”" This letter was admitted as evidence and indentified by witnesses before the Coroner’s Jury. When compared with other letters written by Dimick, it was found to be less clear in expression and firm 1n penmanship, but there was no doubt as to its genuineness. After a large number of witnesses had been examined the jury rendered a ver- dict_that Dimick came to his death by suicide while temporarily insane. The disposition of more than $2500 in gold, which was withdrawn by Dimick from the City Bank and the Santa Cruz Bank of Savings and Loans ou December 26, 1896, is & mystery. It had been thought this might be ex- plained before the Coroner, but the Wit nesses all disclaimed any knowleage as to what had been done with the money. Mrs. Dimick did not know that her hus- band had drawn the money. She testi- fied that their relations had been pleasant, but Dimick was not sati:fied to remain in Santa Cruz, while.she thought they had a good enough home here and ought to stay. Captain Sager, collector for the Hibn Company, which supplies water on the east side, testified that when Dimick paid his water bill on January 11, be seid that it was the last water bill that he woula ever ay. P:ver asked if Dimick intended to go to San Diego, to which he replied that he did not know, but that Sager wowd not find him there when he presented his bill next month. Witness said Dimick was restless and wanted to sell out and go away. He| seemed very different mentally from what | he did six montbs ago. Various incidents described by other witnesses showed Dimick’s restless desire to get away from Santa Cruz. Just before the inquest closed the Coro- ner heard that A. L. Hill had received a sum of money from Dimick, to be sent East. Mr. Hiil was sent for, but declared that he had received no money and knew nothing of it. He said Dimick’s first wife was buried at Salisbury, Mo, in December, 1895, where the remains were taken from here by Dimick and a niece and nephew of the deceased wife, who had come here during her illness. v a3 CAPT. W. WEBSTER McNEIL. One of the kindest of gentlemen that ever put pen to paper, that ever spoke word to man, is Mr. W. W. McNeil, Hos- pital Steward of the Second Artillery, N. G. C. Mr. McNeil is not very talkative, but what he says he means, and when he | does say anything it is with the best inten- tion in ‘Pe world. He has none but the best feeling for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapa- ril and gladly told the writer of the great good Joy’s haa donme. Said he: “I used Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla because I felt dull, heavy, almost singgish. As soon as I discovered that I needed some thing to make me feel good I took a bottle of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and after | using the second bottle I became my old | self azain. Mind you, I was not on the brink of the grave; I merely wanted a blood medicine and T used Joy's. Yes; I found the remedy pleasing to take and effective,” No druggist owns stock in Joy's Vege- table Sarsaparilla, Any drugeist claim- ing to pay its advertising bills is a fraud. | Don’t let the drug clerk talk you into buying something e!se for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla. He laughs at you when you leave the corner store with a substitute. Watch him. v z HESE NERVES THAT YOU SEE MARKED T e drawiug are sympathetic nerves, They originate in the brain and the spinal cord.
