He was an ardent advocate of the theory that farming can be made to pay and pay well if a farm be | hanaled in a business-like manner, and Ly stopping a spring wagon in which she was driving and showering all manner of | abuse on him, while some of her friends applauded and some of Barnel’s took his part and all seemed anXious ior a mix-up. The arrest «f the lady, however, restored order. Sheat once pleaded not guilty, and after a short trial was zcquitted. While the trial was in progress Gallegos, the prosecuting witness, was baving trouble with Joe Bernel, who is also in- terested in the case. The two men were makinz all kinds of dire threats, and the bystanders expected to see a tragedy, but the Marshal came along, Gallegos secured Bernel’s arrest, they were all marchad into court, Bernel pleaded guilty of dis- turbing Gallegos’ peace and paid ‘his fine. As he walked out ol court he declared he would have revenge. Gallegos also de- clares he is out 10 be revenged or all his enemies. Mrs. Amador has indicated the manner in which her revengeful spirit manifests itself. Antone Bernel also wants satisfaction, and as Pieasanton is a small vlace nnd son:e of the opposing factions are bound to rubshoulders with each other afew times a day the Marshal has pre- pared bimself for the worst. A feeling of intense bitterness exists be- tween the two factions, and on account of the numerous arres's and the felony charge hanging over Mrs. Amador an oat- break is hourly expected. S e Dr. True Arrives. i | BERKELEY, CaL., May 10.—Dr. A, C. | True, director, oftice of Agricultural Ex- periment Station at Washington, arrived in Berkeley this morning and is the guest of Professor £. W. Heigard, head of the | Department_of Agricuiture at the uni- Veraity. Dr. True spent the day in making an official inspection of the station at Berkeley, and exvressed himselfas pleased with what he had seen. He will remain in Berkeley until Wednesday, when he | will leave on a tour of visitation to the | other sta‘ions in the State. JUSTUS GADING, Who Devoted His Life to Farming and Died Rich. | his theory, after being ably tested by him- | self, was found to be eminently successful. | On New Year's day, 1835, Justus Gading was born at Bremen, and for a few years | he worked as a printer; afterward went to | sea for a year or two along the coast of | Europe and served for a short time on a | German man-of-war. | When he was but 20 years of age he | came with his parents around Cape Horn | to California. They arrived here in 1855, and after a very short stay in San Fran- | cisco they settied at Mount Eden, ac- | quired a moderate-sized ranch, and the | | tamily has lived there ever since. Many years ago young Justus became imbued | with the goid fever, but a very short ex- | perience at the mines convinced him that | there was more in farming than in min- ing, and after two months’ experience he returned to the Alameda County ranch. Anxious to start in business on his own | nccount, he located on a farm in San | Lorenzo, but one year was sufficient o convince him that he could do better on the old homestead, so he returned to the | Gading ranch and has made his home | there ever since. | Beveral years ago he married Miss | Catherine Foste, and their two children are now living on therauch. A few months ago Gading began to feel | the effects of oid age and was stricken | down with sickness. He gradually be- | came worse and for several wecks his | death has been expected. | Nine years ago, in company with his | wife, he visited the scene of boyhood, | and feeling that he was breaking up, he repeated the visit three years ago, on which occasion he was accompaniea by bis daughter, His estate is large and in good shape, and his son is thoroughly | qualifiec to carry on the old homestead, | which has now been the abode of three | generations. The estimated value of the | property is about $200,000. MURDER 1S EXPECTED, curred Between the Ama- dors and' Gallegos. If Threats Amount to Anything There Will Soon Be B oodshed in Pieasanton, 0AxLAND Orrick SaN Francrsco CALy, 908 Broadway, May 10, It will probabiy not bs long before there is a murder or two at Pleasanton. Tue Amadors and the Gallegos have fallen out and declared war, and as they are both of a belligerent nature blood is likely to flow. Mrs. Amador recently, it is alleged, quarreled with her neighbor, Frank Gal- legos, and soon aiter the quarrel Gailegos was shot, but not badly, by some one on Mrs. Amador's premises. As near as could be ascertained, the shot came through a knothole in a big fence between the two properties. Mrs. Amador, of course, couid not be seen by Gallegos, but witnesses asserted that she was near her side of the knothole when the shot was fired. In court the case against the woman was considered strong enough to murder. Since the examination war has twice broken out again. The witnesses in the jcase met and had an excitable time on the street. Hostile acilon was only pre- vented by the arrest of Mrs. Amador. Antone H. Bernel, a witness opposed to her, caused her arrest and_charged her with disturbing the peace, Mrs, Amador swore at him and precipitated the quarrel Three Outbreaks Hav: Now Oc: | | hold her over to answer for an attempt to [ MAY GET THE MEDAL, | Four Students at Barkeley Vie ] for the Scho'arship | Award. | A G Van Gorder of Los Angeles Is | Thought to Hold the Highest} | C ass Ranking. | | BERKELEY, Can, May 10.—As com- | mencement day at the State University | draws nigh, speculation is rife as to which | one of the 140 students in the ciass will be | uwarded the regents’ gold medal for scholarship. The prize, which is awarded annually to the ‘‘most distinguished stu- dent in the class,” seems certain of going 10 one of four persons whom the seniors have picked out as holding the highest ranking. Though no one will know defi- nitely to whom the meldal wilt go until | the meeting of the regents on Wednesday morning, it is quite certain that their selection will be made from either A. G. Van Gorder, Miss Adele Schwarzchild, | Frank Tade or Charles Eiston. The cdds seem to be in favor of Van | Gorder, it being the general belief that he has scored more ''first sections’’ than any other '97 “‘grad.” ‘Lhe fact that he was out of college for two years and isnota regular member of the class of '97 seems however, to militate against his chances for the golden prize. He entered as a '99 man, was away for two yearsand retarned last year. While absent from Berkeley he made up a portion of the prascribed work, | and will graduate after only three yea | actual attendance at the university. - This | fact may be viewed by the faculty as mak- ing up for having been absent for a year, though in past years a failure to remain | in college continuous!y has lost the medal | to the student. Miss Schwarzchild has taken the course in mathematics, which is generally con- sidered to be the most difficult of all at | Berkeley, and her achieying such a high ranking as to entitle her to consideration | among the first four students in the class, | is looked upon as no small achievement, | Ifthe medal goes to her it will be the | first time a swudent electing such a group | of studies has won the honor. Frank Tade ana Charles Elston both hold high ranking, but their chances are not con- sidered as favorable as those of Van Gor- der and Miss Schwarzchild.

HAPPY RESULT OF A LITTLE STORY s Don Soberanes Will Not Die a Blind Pauper in an Almshouse. Found by His Sister, Whom He He Had Not Seen for Over Twenty Years. Half a Century Ago His Family Wer the Largsst Land-Owners in Southern California. OARLAND OFFICE 8AN FRANCISCO CALL,| 908 Broadway, May 10. Don Feliciono Soberanes will not die in the County Almshouse. The once proud and wealthy Spaniard, who bad come to the point where he is blind and was stary- ing, and who asked to be shown the way to the water that ke mightend his mis- ery, has been found by hissister. Andail this happiness has been caused by the iittle stery of the old man’s trouble pub- lished in THE CALL last Saturday. The old man was at the County Infirm- ary to-day and, to his great surprise, his long-lost sister called on him and, al- though he could not see her, he had the pleasure of embracing her aiter twenty vears of separation, Mrs. Anita Shaw of 1314 Tenth' street, who has lived in Oakland for the past six years, is the widow of the late Dr. Shaw. She was born oa the A. La Salle rancho near Monterey. On reading THE CALL Saturday evening she noticed the name of Soberanes and at once recognized in it her lost brother. Early this morning she applied to Supervisor Mitchell to learn more of the man and his whereabouts. On being told she repaired at once to the infirmary and spent four or five bhoursin conversation with her brother. “My hopes are that I can have his eyes treated,” said Mrs. Shaw, ‘‘and then get im Into the blind asylum. I have noth- ing compared to what I formerly had, but shall take ; ood care of my brother. Our parents came of the nobles of Spanish and French society. Guovernor Pacheco and all of the earlier settlersof this State knew my brother and our family. “It was through reading THE CALL that Ilearned of my brother's present condi- tion.” Feliclono Soberanes is proud of his his- tory. He comes of the very oldest and wealthiest Spanish families of the pioneer days. “I was born in Monterey County, rnear the present site of that city, in November, 1826.” «aid he this afternoon, as he sat_in the cffice of the County Infirmary. “My two brothers entered the army at the breaking out of the Mexican War and soon alter I followed, although only 18 years of age. I wassoon compelled to return, ow- ing to my fatber’s serious iliness. *‘Father and mother were both korn in Spain, but came to Mexico about 1800. He did not remain there lonc, but soon came to California, where he acquired im- mense land estates. The San Lorenzo erant, now King City, was all his. Buena Vista' grant was another; the A. La Salle and Gilroy rancho all helonged to him at one time. *'It was in’63 and '64 that misfortune began to overtake us. The rains were light, which caused a failure of the crops. Ten thousand shecp and thousands of heads of horses and cattle were lost in those two years. TaXes and lawyers got what was left and we had nothing. 1 have been all around since, and finally lanaed in Los Angeles, where I asked to have my eyes treated. I believe itisa cataract, but I am blind all but a little light that comes in through one eye. The Supervisors there sent me to the in- firmary, but after being treating there for some time 1 becamediscouraged. Iknew I had a sister in Oakland. I thought if I could get here, perhaps she could help me. I applied to the Superyisors, but they refused at first, but when I told the doctor my sister might be able to pay my expenses he recommended that they send me here. “] came here and at once sought the City Directory, but was dismayed. to find nosicrn of her name in 1t. Ii was then that I became discouraged and wanted to get out of this world, for there was noth- ing for me. "My father paid more money for taxes to build the blind asylum and other State institutions than any other man ever did, and when one of his children wants ad- mission to the asylum to have his eyes treated it is denied him. This is, indeed, a hard lot. I am the only applicant from Monterey County, and yet I must wait until forty-five others are out of the way.” Another Fire Alarm. OAKLAND, CAL., May 10.—At 6 o’clock to-night while the entire department w: at work upon the Third and Jackson street fire an alarm was turned in from box 54, situated at Twelfth and Brush streets, for a fire in a two-story frame building between the Pacific Press and the Seventi-Day Adventist Church. The City Hall chemical reached the scene and ex- tinguished the fire before the department arrived. The house was damaged to the amount of $150, fully covered by insur- ance. The fire is supposed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. New Horticultural Board. OAKLAND, Cr, May 10.—The new Board of Horticuitural Commissioners has organized with A. D.
