While doiug some work for Mrs, F. F. Jewell he suddenly began coughing violently and incessantly, and this paroxysm was followed by one of irightful choking, in which he soon died. A post-mortem examination showed that alarge artery had burst, filling the throat glands and chestcavity with blood, which pressed upon the lungs and win pipe, causing stoppage of breath. Geor; Was 1n apparent good health and no cause can be iound for the seizure. George was born in St. Helena, but had been in California many years, being em- ployed by Captain Charles Goodall and Robert McEiroy of San Francisco much of this time.

GOOD LUCK O CALIFORNIA JACK After Many Years He Finds an Old Bank Account. Deposit Left With Mooley & Riall Awaits Him at the Hibernia. Strange Fortunes of an Old Whaler and Blue Jacket Now In the Phoenix Jall. PH(ENIX, Ariz., June 12.—California Jack was fined $5 for drunkenness yester- day and in'default of the cash was com- mitted to the city jail to work out his sen- tence in the chaingang. At any oiher time during the last four years such a cir- cumstance as this—both as regards the offense and the offender—would have been considered too commonplace to warrant its publication even 1in the local papers. But with things as they are—with Cali- courtesies of the City Jail without having a lock turned on him or being pressed into the chaingang—for Jack, while very | bomely, very rough and very uncouth in | appearance, is known 10 be entireiy harm- less under ordinary circumstances. Of course, when the news of his good jortune spread abroad, saloon-keepers who had snubbed bim vied with one an- other in patromizing him, and Jack couldn’t stand the good luck. One day he grew noisy—this was the day after he had put in his claim for his old bank ac- count—and it became necessary to tone down his exuberance with a tew days in jail. LIQUOR CAUSED HIS DEATH. Louis Schmidt Commits Suicide While on the Verge of Delirium, Louis Schmidt, a teamster by occupa- tion, ended his life last evening by hang- ing himself with a piece of balerope to a rafter in the rear of Joost Bros.’ bay and grain establishment, 505 Gough street. Schmidt, who was employed by Joost Bros., drew his monthly salary yesterday afternoon and immediately started out “to have a time.” In the evening he sauntered into a saloon near his place of employment in a bali-crazed condition. He appeared on the verge of delirium, and, after shouting a short time to quiet his nerves, threw a handful of silver money on the floor. 1t was picked up and returned to the teamster, who then insisted on buying liquor tor every one in the house. Hecontinued treating the fre- quenters of the saloon until he was re- | auced to poverty. He then lelt, and half |8n bour later was found hanging to a rafier by T. Quade, who was passing CALIFORNIA JACK, A CHILD OF FORTUNE This unique character, whose real name is John Eugene Hewitt, has learned that the Hibernis Bank in this City holds $17,000 to his credit. deposited by him in an institution which fsilea years ago. at Pheenix for drunkenness. The money was Hewitt 18 now in jail fornia Jack the owner of $17,000 in coin, safely lodged in the Hibernia Bank at San Francisco—the event of his present association with the chaingang adas an- other chapter to a very remarkable life story. Jack’s name is John Eugene Hewitt. The small fortune now awa'ting bim in the Hibernia Bank was deposited by him in Mooley & Riall’s Bank at S8an Fran- cisco twenty-one years ago. The bank failed soon after that and Jack thought he had lost his money for all time; so he went back to his first love, the sea. For seventeen years he roamea over the world as only a deep-sea sailor can, and then he turned landiubver again and wandered down to Arizona. Here he soon developed a passion and a capacity for strong drink that easily gained him entreeto the best jails and the most exclusive chaingangs. On Monday a week ago, when the San Francisco papers arrived, Jack happened to be sober, for the exigencies of his im- poverished privy purse made it essential for him to straighten up at times and earn enough money to pay his bar bills. In these papers was an advertisement of the Hibernia Bank, making inquiry regard- ing the whereabouts of certain depositors of the ola Mooley & Riall bank. It ap- pears that the Hibernia has recently come into possession of property out of which the depositors of the almost-forgotten bank are at last to be paid. In the list of depositors inquired for was the name of John Eugene Hewitt, and California Jack will bave no trouble in proving his owner- ship of this name if he can succeed in staying sober long enough to offer the proof. Jack was born in the Emerald Isle more years ago than he now remembers. In 1847 be shipped on the whaler Mohawk, out of New Bediord, and on the 10th of February, 1848, the Mohawk entered San Francisco Bay and Jack went ashore. He told bis friends in the City jail of Pheenix yesterday that there were no more visible signs of a new postoffice for 8an Francisco at that time than there are now. After his whaling cruise Jack shipped in the navy. He sailed in the old Ver- mont, on the Dakota, and on other ships that he can remember only when entirely sober. After the war Jack roamed again and finally landed on the Pacific Coast, where he tried his fortune at mininz. He and a Frenchman located & good mine in Idaho and in 1876 they sold out for $40.. 000. The Frenchman took his $20,000 and returned to Paris, where he may now be living in affluence, Jack deposited $17,- 000 of his share with Mooley & Riall, and with $3000 in his pockets started on a tonr up the coast. While at Portland he learned that the bank had failed. It never occurred to him that anything could be saved from the debris and he hastened to complete the wreck of his fortune apd his bealth by drinking up what was left of his $3000. ‘When the money was all gone Jack en- listed 1n the navy sagain, and for four years he sailed in and out from Mare Island or worked at the yards. When discharged from the navy he went back to whaling and to roaming. How or why he came to Arizona he does not pretend to know. To-day he is as widely known as any man in Pbeenix. For a couple of yearsor more he has been enjoying the | through the building. The Coroner’s | office was notified and the body was re- | moved to the Morgue. | an unmarried man and had no relatives in this country. GILSOA'S JAG COVETED THE CAN How Drink Caused Him to Take a Grocer's Goods. Liquor Made the Lawyer Humor- ons and He Thought It Would Be Funny. A Respectable Practitioner Must Plead in the Polic: Court to a Charge of Petty Larceny. Milo H. Gilson, a respectable attorney- at-law, and one of the quietest roomers in a Geary-street lodging-house, will have to answer before Judge Joachimsen for vetty larceny this afternoon. Gilson was passing Chris Oson’s grocery-store about haif-past 11 on Satur- day night, whereupon he seized a five- zallon can of coal oil and carried it to 403 Hyde street, placing it on the steps. Oson and Policeman Dower arrested him, and he was booked for petty larceny. He was so overcome that he swore he would end his life if he could get a re- volver. He begged the policeman to take vim to his room, where he had money secreted with which to bail himself out. At the station he at first declined to give his own name, but finally did so, and was soon bailed out by Isaac Brandt, at whose office he works. People who know Gilson speak of him in the highest terms. He pays his debts promptly and is considered the soul of honor. Even the grocer and policeman thousht 1t something very strange that so respectable an appearing man would steal a greasy oilcan in 8o bold a way. Gibson’s explanation to a CALL reporter puts another phase on the case. He feels greatly humiliated over the notoriety his conduct has cuused and gives the follow- ing explanation: “I had not years,” said he, “but on Saturday nignt I got a little too much, being out with friends. While Idid not stagger or other- wise show signs of drunkenness I was seized with an uncontrollable desire to vick up that oilcan and deposit it on the steps a few doors away as a practical joke on the procer. It was a foolish prank, a silly and idiotic thing, but I did it on the impulse of the moment merely as a joke and now [ must stand the consequences. It was a dear lesson in drinking and in practical joking, and I hope it is the last one of that kind I will ever experience.’ The deceased was | WHEELMEN RACE IN A STIFF WIND Jones Wins Two Short Distance Dashes at Woodland. The Mile Event Captured by Ziegler From Start to Finish. Fast Time Made by the Crackajacks Despite the Unfavorable Conditlons. WOODLAND, Car, June 13.—Barring astiff south breeze the day could not have been more favorable for the bicycle race meeting. Last Tuesday seven pro- fessional riders—Jones, Ziegler, Downing, Dixon, Davis, McCrea and Coulter— rived from Sacramento, and they have | since been in training for to-(lay’s events. A large crowd had assembled at the race- frack, particular interest being taken in the meeting because Jones, the famous short-distance man, is a Woodland boy. The track was in first-rate condition and the men were all in their prime. The first race was the one-mile open, professional. The starters were: Down- ing, Coulter, Ziegler, McCrea and Jones. | Dixon and Davis paced the riders. Ziegler led off next to the tandem and kept his viace to the finish, winning in 2:07. Me- Crea came in a close second and Jones got third place. This was somewhat of a dis- appointment to the crowd, which was with Jones from the start. The next race was the quarter-mile dash. On account of the strong wind the time was slow, but the race wasa hot one, I. was won by Jones from start to finish. When the Woodland boy came first over the tape the crowd rose up and gave him an ovation. Ziegier was in sec- ond, with Downing at his heels. The time was :373-5—very good considering the heavy breeze. Fowler, the trick rider, amused the spectators for & while after the quarter- mile heat. The last of the professional races, the half mile, open, was the most interesting as well as the most closely contested. The issue lay beiween Jones and Ziegler from | the start. Ziegler got off first, setting a lively pace, but when they spun around onto the homestretch with a sea breeze in their faces Jones came to the front and made one of his phenomenal sprint When they were ten yards from the finish Jones was a wheel’s length ahead, but his long sprint had weakened him and he won from the speedy little Ziegler by only a few inches. Downing again came in for third place. The time was 1:05, consid- |ered by the trademen and crackajacks from Sacramento as very fast under the circumstances. Couiter, who holds the world’s record for thie unpaced mile, tried to break the rec- ord for the one-lourth mile, flying start— 25 1-5 seconds. He took the warm side of the track with a suff wind at nis back, but | the pest he could do was 3-5, which is now the track record. The meeting closed with a 30-mile relay race betweon six of the Capital City Wheel- men and a local team. It belonged to anybody until won by Sacramento in 1 hour and 25 minutes. The fastest relay was ridden by Calawell of the local team in 13:45. FRATERNAL DEPARTMENT, The Arrangements That the Native Sons Are Making for the Ad- mission Day Parade.

The vexed question of the extermina- tion of the Australian rabbit, which has hitherto constituted the chief problem that has confronted every antipodean ministration, has at length received a sat- isfactory solution. There is no longer any necessity for invoking the services of great scientists, such as the late Dr. Pas- teur and Professor Koch, to devise means for their extermination; for the invention of the cold storage room on board ship has led to the bunnies being exported in a refrigerated condition to the omnivorous market of the mother country. Rabbit pie is a favorite dish in the United King- dom, and the rabbit which could not be sacces<fuily cannea for transport and preservation is now leaving Austraiia for England at such a rate tbat soon there will not be a single one of thom left in the antipodes.

They indicate that doods are being sold risht ; that the selling prices attract the masses and to attract the masses the selling price must necessarily be right.
