THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1897. FOX HUNT HAD MO CHARMS FOR THEM Ranch Hounds Beaten by Burlingame's Imported Pack. Woulds't Chase Hard Along a| Manufactured Coyote Trail. Walter Hobart’s Twenty Dogs Matched Against Dan Murphy’s Coyote Chasers. Some California-bred hounds were yes- terday pitted against Walter Hobaw's came along with his mate leading the rest of the pack. Mr. Murphy sighed at the sight. Some one had I+ft the big heavy coilars on his dogs. What wonder that they were not at the very lead? A halt was called a few moments amia snapping of whips and blowing of horns, and after a short wait the trail was agaio taken up. At the next passing place, two miles beyond, one of the California biack and tans, witbout his coilar, was the first to cross the road, and tnen his owner ways satisfied. He felt repaid for the long, hard, uphill drive he haa had past the gaping crowd at the County Poorhouse, on past the big dam—one of the sources of San Francisco’s water supply—and up the winding grade to the summit overlooking | distant Belmont, that was to be the end | of the chase. Bome of the horses were tried at ridicu- lously low prearranged obstacles along the route. The foremost usualiy and quite | fortunately knocked them down before | the straggling huntsmen behind 'could risk a leap. The ground was, however, scarcely suited to jumping because of the insecure footing, but the day was per- fect for s brisk, exhilarating chase after the hounds. FOE SALE, “WOUDLEY"” of His Property. WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 13.—Presi- dent Cleveland has placed his country residence, “Woodley,” in the hands of a real estate agent, for sale, and it is said | President Cleveland to Disposs of Some | | i S A e 54 mlww N PO S D DILSRT L TR R m\m » WA “Why, a collar like that,” said Mr. Murphy, “would wind any dog.” pack of imported English fox hunters in a spirited run across six miles of hilly and undulating country to the southward of San Mateo and Belmont. A company of Burlingame Club horsemen started with the chase and trailed along the course much according to the ability of their horses and the temerity of their riders. It was a fox hunt in name only, but the twenty English bounds, true to their in- stinct, confidently and with unfailing zeal pursued a trail over whica a flunky on horseback had dragged a fox-scented sack an hour before. A coyote skin had also been trailed along the proposed course as a special inducement to the California bounds, which, though used to sighting their prey, ran comparatively well until toward the end of the chase when they finally refused longer to take &n nterest in the pursuit of an animal of which they had not even once caughta glimpse. The California dogs wers from big ranches. They were coyote-trailers and fighters by choice and by long experience. There were six of them, the pick of fifteen 3"” belonging to Dan M. Murphy and to ames Sargent Jr., at their places near Gilroy, over sixty miles away. Their owners had brought them to the hunt confident of their ability and hopefal that they would be among the first along the scent. ‘When the run was ended they were still sure of the merit of their coyote fighters, for they did not consider that the test had been conclusive where only a manufac- tured trail had been offered. Another ace in the near future will be the result. The starting place was near the crossing of the Pescadero and Crystal Springs toads in the partialiy wooded, smooth, green hills back from San Mateo about four miles. There the trail began. There congregated the aozen riders that would follow the hounds, the few reck- less drivers in buggies that would dash slong the roadways most convenient to the general course of the chase, and the few passive spectators that would see the start and then return leisurely to Burlin- ame to await the home-coming of the Funtamen and'the hounds in the evening, Mr. Murphy’s black and tan hounds had been brought 1o the spot in a wagon. Mr. Hobart’s black and white spotted English trail followers had as usual with them come trotting together in a well behaved and easily controlled pack. They are off! Walter Hobart, as master of the hunt and with horn in hand, fol- lows close behind the low baying pack that with noses near the turf rushes up overs hiliside and disappears. H. H. Hinshaw, L. McCreary and Cap- tain Wainwright as whips ere among the leaders, too, and near them galiop Jos Grant, H. Wheeler, J. Lawson, Mr. Page and several others, all on light horses, with docked mane and tail. Mr. Murphy, in a small cart, is already far aiong on the winding road near one point of which the hunt will pass. After him, with racing speed, go Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Beylard in light little bugey, and others follow. Dan Murphy waited almost breathlessly near a turn in the road. With his hand to nis ear he listened for the oncoming pack. From far over a hill, and only faintly - wafted - on the late afternoon breeze, came & quick, hoarse yelp, along with similar sounds of less volume. “Ab, that's my George; I know his voice]” impulsively ejaculated Mr. Mur- phy. “I thonghit be'd be in the lead.” Ina moment more a distant bald hilltop bristled with a few scurrying fizures out- lined against the sky, and then the pack came straggliug aown the long slope, fol- lowed presently by the first of the riders and later by others that appeared one after another up over the crest of the hill. The hounds came nearer and Mr. Mur- phy strained his eyes to discover his black- and-tans among the leaders. Hot on the trail, the English dogs swept across the intervening level space and turned up an- other hillside. ;welva of them had passed before one of the black-and-tans | he has no intention of spending portions of each winter season here, As real estate has made litlle advance in the last few years it is unlikely that Mr. Cleveland will realize much more from | the sale of Woodley than he gave for it.

Fifteen fquads Make Simul- taneous Raids With Sig- nal Success. Officers Rummage Through the Effects cf Alleged Socia! Organiza- tions for Evidence. The strong arm of the law smote China- town with a resounding whack last night, and in the clutches of its greedy fingers grasped enough yellow malefactors to make the cells of the California-street sta- tion look like a badly overcrowded menagerie. The law was represented by fifty-five sturdy officers selected by Cap- tain Wittman for special adaptability to the work in hand, and they performed their duties with neatness and dispatch. The special objects of last night's raid were the incorporated social clubs. These organizations, under a supposed protec- tion from their charters, bave been carry- ing on tan games and lotteries with im- punity, and the authorities determined to test the iaw on the matter. For three days Captain Wittman has been encaged in obtaining a list of these piaces and get~ ting out Jobn Dee sexrch warrants. The exact time of the raid was not known to any but Chief Crowley and Cap- tain Wittman until 9 o’clock last night. At that hour the officers who had been in- structed to report to Csptain Wittman were given their details. It was arranged thatexactly at 9:45 each squad was to enter the place assigned to it. This progrsmme was carried out to the letter and the heathens were taken completely by surprise. In many of the places the inmates man- aged to make away with the evidences of gambling, but in several clubs the officers made big hauls. By 12 o’clock 500 men had been broughbt to the police station and a few score were corralled in their clubs awaiting the vatrol wagons, which had | more than they could attend to. The places raided and the officers de- tailed to each were as follows: 817 Washington, Serg s Baily, Bunner, Hur geant Hopper,' Officers Peters, C Laughlin; 824 Washington, three g genut Heims, Officers Williams, Long, .

AT LA GRANDE. Jewelry and Noney to the Amount of $1000 stolon. LA GRANDE, Ok., Feb. 13.—A daring theit, yielding a substantial quantity of plunder to the thieves, was committed in the Hassett home, adjoining the postoffice building, yesterday. The articles taken include three diamond rings, a set of ear- rings, & draft for $200 snd a $20 green- back, all of which betonged to Mrs. Has- sett. 1t is not known exsctly when the theft was commitied, but the discovery that a small sack which contained valuables had been stolen was made yesterday morning. A ban of sccrecy has been placed -over the affuir, in the hope that the officers might discover some clew that would lead to the arrest of che thieves and the recoy- ery of the property.

SPOKANE, Wasw., Feb. 13.—As the gambling games in the Ceeur d'Alen: saloon in this city were preparing for busi- ness at 6:30 o’clock last evening a stranger quietly picked up the sack containing the bank for the keno game, steppea to/the door and leaped down the stairs, shout- ing: “Out of the way!” as he went. He reached the barroom and went through it, running into men at every step; ran outside the door and disap- peared down an alley. Although the em- ployes of the game were all armed, as were scores of men who were in _the rooms and saloon, not a weapon was drawn. So sudden was the robbery that no one realized what was going on until the man bad gone. Neither he nor the bank have been seen since There was about $95 in the sack. It was the boldest robbery ever pervetrated here. T TS T TN TIPSR S OO Y NEW] THE SILKS For the spring of 1897 are a radical change from those now in vogue.

As a Result One of Them Now Reclines at Leisure in the Tanks. Pecculiar Action of a Police' Judge Which Mystifi:s the Police. Early Thursday. morning Officer E. F. Bode detected two men in tne act of “burgiing” James McDonatd’s dry-goods store at 2800 Mission street. They had secured some booty from that establish- ment and also from the store of John Nicholson in the same building. Bode caljed upon the men to surrender, when they started to run. He grappled with one of them, who, although little more than a boy, proved to be a sinewy and lithe customer and madea hard fight. While the officer was struggling with his man the other drew a revolver and came close to the combatants, his inten- tion being to use it when a iavorable op- portunity presented itself. The officer managed, howeyer, to iree one arm, and knocked the man with the revolver down by a well-directed blow. His weapon flew off to one side as he fell. The fellow of whom Bode had hold took advaniage of the opportunity offerea, and as the other man fell tripped the officer up. The two then ciosed in on him and endeavored™to pound him into insensi- bility, but he managed to regain his feet and make thines so interesting that the one who bad drawn the revolver took to bis heels. It required only a few moments to bring the other burglar into submission and snap the bracelets on his wrists. He was taken to the Southern station and locked up on a charge oi burglary. He there gave the police the name of Henry-Gilmore and his age as 16 years. It has been discovered that his real name is Chester. Bode, although sufferine from the blows be had received, atiended Judge Low’s court on Friday morning, and after hear- ing the evidence the Judze held Henry to answer before the Superior Court in $7000 bonds. Henry is said to be the son of a wealthy captain and shipowner in Poriland and last night inquiry was made about him at the Seventeenth-street station. Captain Gillen said he had been held to answer before the Superior Court and had proba- biy been transferred to the County Jail }mle!s he nad procured bonds for his re- ease. At the City Prison it was ascertained that Judge Low had, shortly after holding Henry to answer before the Snverior Court, released him from the City Prison, and yesterday morning on _the court endar the case was marked ‘‘dismissed” lwmwm the police having, spparently, ] been notified of the cnange in the Judge's decision. CALABASAS WATER CASE. 0/d-Time Disputants Again in Court to Settle a Troube With Many Peculiar Phases. LOS ANGELES, Car., Feb. 13.—Leon Gazave and Manuel Dominguez, residents of classic Calabasas, who formerly in- dulged in the exhilarating pastime of using each other as targets for pistol prac- tice, are in the courts once more in a new and unique relation. Gazave proved a bit | reckless on ‘‘the fieid of honor,”’ wound- | ing a constable by the name of Brans- comb. Dominguez aiso stopped a few of Gazave's stray balls. Dominguez in the present action seeks judgment for $1000 damages for alleged interference with his water rights and for an injungtion to prevent further inter- ference. The. plaintiff claims that he entered upon unsurveyed Government land that:no one'else claimed, has im- proved it and occupies it with - his family 10 this day. - Upon one corner of the land he discovered a spring and. developed it. He succeeded in securing a flow of one miner’s inch, piped the water to his house and used it for-bis domestic wants. In Auogust, 1893, he posted & notice claiming the water, laid a line of pipes, built a tank and felt very thankful that he had a good water supply. In February, 1895, Dominguez claims, Gazave broke up his water pipes and tank, and while en- gaged in repairing the damage done, a mob of men, among them Gazave, saulted and beat him, “riddled his body with builets,” knocked his wife down and drove him away from the spring, threat- eninz him with violence if he tried to take the water again, Upon the witness-stand this forenoon Dominguez produced an old note bearmng the signature of Leon Gazave, ana stated that the defenidant before he entered upon the land near the spring came to him and he showed Gazave how to **jump it.”’ From the demeanor of the plaintiff it was evident that he believed he had warmed a snake in bis bosom in thus giv- ing Gazave a start in life.

Howard of S8an Francisco for the purchase of the county’s dead, to e used for dissection purposes. - The doo- tor “offers to pay any reasonable charges. Deputy District Attorney Williams bas rendered an opinion, however, pointing out the strictures of the law in permitting. bodies to be used for such purposes, and it is probable that the Supervisors will not accept the proposition, The San Fran- cisco students of anatomy are now send- ing to the country for bodyul. the Coroner of this city having become very strict in regard to giving away those that come into his charge. L LITIGATION AT FRESNO. | Suit to Compel a Canvass of Returns of the Sunset Irrigation District Election. FRESNO, Car., Feb. 13.—The Sunset Irrigation District appears to be very pro- vocative of litigation. Another suit in- volving the affairs of the district has been filed in the Superior Court, and it would be a daring vaticinator who would proph- esy that it was the last one. s The complainant is George M. Kobler of this city and the defendants, W. G. Ecott, E. F. Mitcnell, John N. King, C. S. Camp- bell and Milton McWhorter, who cousti- tute the old board of directors of the dis- trict. Kohler recites that on Wednesday, February 3, 1697, an election was held in the district for the purpose of choosing a new board of directors and other officers. L. H. Martin, C. S. Campbell, Milton Me- Whorter, J. N. King and Joseph Meadows received the majority of all the legal votes cast and were duly and regularly elected members of the board of filxecmu. Re; ;s were duly made to the secretary of the board, J- N, Kine, and the old board should have met on the first Monday after the election for the purpose of canvassing O ia Kobler claims, the directors failed to do, and at all times since they have failed and refused to perform their duty. He therefore prays for a writ of man- damus commanding the defendants to meet and canyass the returns of the elec- tion and declare the Tesult thereof, and that the secretary enter upon the records the names of the several persons elected.
