Penalty for Winning Prizes in the Weekly Paper- Chases. NO LONGER PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE. Real Reason for the Reorganization of the Exclusives Across the Bay. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, Sept. 4 —Behind the reorganization of the San Rafael Hunt Club, which gives the paver chases in | which society participates at San Rafael, there is a story that has not been told. Last Wednesday night at the Hotel Rafael a meeting of those interested in the Hunt Club was held, and it was agreed to form a new club under the same name but with a slightly changed policy—that of not per- mitting everybiody to take part in the weekly paper chases. The sport bas now narrowed down to a point where only a select few are p-r- mitted to enter and compete for the trophies'and the natural result is a tame affair from stazt to finish. It all carue about through the entering of two Marin County men in the big| paper chase a short time ago for the Ingle- side cup. Each took a prize, much to the | ill-concealed chagrin of the more aristo- | cratic but less hardy gentlemen from the | swell resort. The men were Fred Sweetz:r ot Novato and J. J. Murray of Rafael. They were mounted on swift Marin County mustangs, and afier the start they showed their heels to the rest of the hounds, and arrived at the finish in a cloud of dust far in advance ot the other riders. Then the disappointed ones who were fearful .of following the e ple of the Marin County boys, who went at break- neck speed down the steepest roads, re- monstrated and claimed that the two were professionals. However, the prizes were given to them, and to appease the wrath of the disappointed the men were barred out of future races on the ground that| they were professio This came as a surprise to both, weetzer is a rancher and Murray the assistant Prosecuting At- torney of Marin. Last Saturday Sweefzer aitempted to enter the chase, but the cflicials barred bim out, so he said he would ride the course an y, and did so, coming in at the finish among the first. The great paper chase of the season takes place on September 11, when two cups offered by Thomas H. Williams, president of the California Jockey Club, will be competed for. It is enderstood that for this race only those whom the club people pass upon will be aliowed to enter, and the affair is to be exclusive in San the extreme. | DOYKEY CAUSES A LAWSUIT. Throws a Livery Stable Fatron and an Action for Damages Results. MILL VALLEY,CAL., Sept. 4. —Richard | F. Armstrong, in s complaiut filed with County Clerk Thomas Bonneau at San Ratael yesterday, tells a harrowing tale of bhow be met and was conquered by a Miil Valley *“burro,” sometimes called a “sad- dle donkey,” as he puts it. Though Armstrong does not know it he was never nearer death when he wason that donkey than when the animal threw him off. However, the story can best be told from the beginning. & Armstrong - brings the suit against Charies J. Dowd. After setting forth that Dowd is in the livery-stable business in Mill Valley and also “rents” burros, he says: ” “Defendant well knew that the burro he rented Armstrong was fractious, vicious and dangerous, and did wrongfuily and ;?zugenuy let the same to plaintiff for i hat while so hired and riddsn by plsintiff defendant’s servants followed and continued to whip said animal, whereupon said animal, by reason of said whipping and by reason of said fractious, vicious and dangerous temper, threw Plaintiff Armstrong to the ground, there- by disiocating plaintiff’s left arm. “That in consequence thereof Arm- strong suffered great pain and injury, and his said arm was and still is sore and lame,” etc. Armstrong, alter reciting this tale of woe, asks the court to consider his in- race of baving a common burro do bim up. Investigation discloses the fact that the burro which sent Armstrong flying into space was the one thut excited Mill Valley last year by swallowinz two sttcks of dynamite, He goes under the name of Benjamin Harrison, and has been a mis- chief-maker ever since he learned to brav. | At the time the burro made away with the dynamite people gave Dowd’s stable & wide berth, = fearing an explosion. Finally the excitement died away. The swaths of cotton with whica Dowd nad seen Harrison wrapped to prevent him from scraping against the sides of his siall and exploding with | disastrous results, were finally removed after it- was considered that the danger was past. LA FEARED MOE VIOLENCE. FRandsburg ¥urderer Carefully Guardea by Ufficers. RANDSBURG, Can, Sept. 4.—David Davidson, who murdered his wife bere on the 19th of last May, arrived on the regu- lar stage this morning for his preliminary examination. Mob violence was evidently feared by the officers, as he was brought from the County Jail at Bakersfield under a strong guerd. The examination took place be- fore Justice Maginnis, behind closed doors, and the prisoner was remanded tp the custody of the Sheriff without bail to await the action of the Superior Court. | The prisoner was taken on the evening ries and his feelings and let him have | %\)00 10 make up for all the troubie and | stage to Mojave to catch the night train for Bakersfield. The prisoner looks twenty years older than he did on the day the crime was committed. - STANFORD'S NEW INSTRUCTOR. | | Professor Waldemar Lindgren to fup- | plement the Courses in Geology and Mineralogy. | STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Sept. 4.—Professor Waldemar Lindgren of the United States Geological Survey is ap- pointed associate professor of mining engineering. His work begins with the | second s mester of this vear. His courses on mining an! metallurgy will supple- ment the fuil courses heretofore given by Professors Branner, Smith and Lenox |in geology, mineralogy and assaying, | thus completing the work of the School of Mining Engiveering. Professor Waldemar Lindgren, the newly appointed insiructor in mining engineering and metallurgy, isa native of Sweden. He was educated at the University of Upsala, Sweden, and at the School of Mines at Frieburg, Germany. Since he came to this country he has been employed as a mininig engineer and expert in metallurgy, but most of his | tima has been devoted to the study of the | gold and silver mines of the West asa | | member of the United States Geolegical | Survey. He has studied the geolozy of the mining districts of the Paciie slope | more than any other member of the | Geological Survey. He is at present pre- | paring a report on the gold and silver | deposits of Idaho. His published papers |and reports embrace a wide range of | subjects and show an intimate acquaint. ance with the mining peology of the United States, and especially with that of the Pacific Coast. Most of his contributions to science | have been published in the American | Journal of Scier:ce or in the reports and bulletins of the United States Geclogical Survey. Some of them, however, have appeared in the Tranjactions of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, lin the proceedings of the California | Academy of Sciences, in the Journai of Geology and in the Census Reports. One | of the most important papers on mining | geology ever published in any language | is Professor Lindgren’s report on the gold-quar z veins of Nevada City and | Grass Valley districte in California. It | is a beautifuily :liustrated quarto volume of two hundred and sixty pages, published the National Geological Survey in At a meeting of the student body held this afternoon it was decided that the old football field should not be aband- oned, as it was considered more advan- tageous to bave the grounds located as near as possible to Encina Hall. e HUMBOLDT CGUNTY'S FAIR. Doors of the Pavilion at Eureka Opened to the Throng of Visitors. EUREKA, CiL., Sept. 4 —The busy fingers of the decorators had draped their last booth and arranged their displays by 6 o'clock this evening, and the County Feir Pavilion was ready to be thrown open to the public. The pyremid of fruitalone is unfinished. The rest of the fruit will arrive by train to-morrow, and everything witl be in com- vlete order on Monday. The booths are very attractive, and fit- tingly represent the diversified business interests of the county. A number of outside firms have got up expensive displays. In the booth of H. H. Buhne the model of the United States cruiser Charleston, owned by thie Union Iron Works, is attracting eyeat attention. The trains and boats brought a great many strangers to the city. Most of the visitors found their way to the expositien building. The fair opened with a concert by Cassassa’s Exposition Band. A number of sideshow men have | secured space alone Second street, leading to the fair building, and make day and night bideous with their cries. The veriscope exhibition of the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight will be openea on Tuesday. The ministers of the city, with few exceptions, are doing everything in their power to prevent the veriscone show. They have aratied and signed a long re- monstrance, which they lhave presented to the fair directors. The directors, how- ever, wili go on with the fght. OIL STRIKE IN COALINGA. Chancellor and Scott Tap a Fiow of Over a Hundred Barrels a Day. FRESNO, Car., Sept. 4 —Word reached this city last evening of the striking o f a big oil well in the Coalinga fields in the western part of the county. It hasa steady flow of 110 barrels a day, and its owners are Chanc:llor and Ecott. They struck a moderate flow when they had | reached a depth of 700 teet with their ‘mell. but more as an experiment than | anything else they concluded to go down | farther, ana when they had penetrated 1000 feet from the surface they struck the | rica flow to reward their efforts, | ~Messrs. Charcellor and Scott are happy and successfui operators in Fresno County’s oil district, and with their new well they feel as if they have struck some- thing of a Klondike. They have a pipe | line nine miles in length running from | their welis to the station of Coalinga on e Huron branch of the Southern Pacific. [ late the railroad company hus not {urnished enough cars to take away the output and as the storage facilities are somewhat limited much oil has gone to waste. This state of affairs will soon be remedied by the company, however. AT ADMISSIOA PARADE, Grand Marshal Dwunbar Names Heads of Divisions.

Jacob Wilson Wins the Suit to Break His Father’s Will. For Years He Has Been a Wanderer, Shunned Even by His Own Relatives. STOCKTON, Car, Sept. 4.—Jacob Wil son, aged 52 years, recently an employe in a fruitshed on the ranch of W. B. Nichoels in Tulare County, bas just re- ceived notice of a decision in his favorin the United States Supreme Court in a suit brought by him in the couris of New York in 1886 for his right and title to a portion of a vast estate said to have been left by his father. Wilson represents that his father, Jacob Wilson 8r., was a banker and broker of Wall street, and that he was worth in the neighborhood of §15,000,000. Wilson appeared in Tulare County in March of this year as a common tramp with a diminutive bundle of blankets on his shoulder. He asked for work to pay for his supper and breakfast. His appli- cation was made at the offic2 of the Alta Advocate, the weekly newspaper pubs lished at Dinubs, and that paper referring to the incident the other day, stated that ‘Wilson’s language ‘‘gave evicence of a high education.,” The paper continues: “We inqnired into his past life and our questions were answered frankly and ina straight torward manner. Wilson’s story was that he was the son of a banker and broker on Wall street bearing the same name as himself. He, Jacob Wilson Jr., had been educated at Princeton and the Columbia Law School.” mother is represerted to have died in 1 when he was 28 years of ago. His father was married again during the course of the same year toa woman who had acted in the capacity of a nurse. The marriage displeased both young Wilson nd his two sisters. Wilson, therefore, immediateiy packed his trunk and leit for Australia. Toe sisters remained behind and re- ceived the stepmother as gracefully as they could under the circumstances. In 1884 the father died, leaving an estate which, Wiison says, was worth abou 15.000,000. To this the sisters, because was disinherited. Jacob consulted prominent men whom he had known in his young years, and through their inflnence brouszht abouta will contest in 1886. It is this contest which bas now been terminated by the Sup-reme Court. During the eleven years interim Wilson has been penniless and a wanderer. His experiences have been bitter, as out- casts’ experiences usually are. Further bitterness was added to his life not long ago when his face was badly disfigured in a railroad wreck. The appearance of his face due to this accident, he says, has zept bim from obtaining Iucrative employ- ment. Wilson received notice of the termina- tion of his suit last week, and was only modestly elated over it. He has suffered S0 many years that he seems to be in- capable of real rejoicing. In a conversa- tion beld with him at the ranch where he has been working he dwelt with no little acerbity upon the treatment accorded him by his sisters. Oune of them, whose husband is presi- dent of a large manufacturing company in Pittsburg, he claims to have visited in 1803, when he returned from Australia. He was worn out and sick and hungry at the time, through the hardships of an overland tramp, and went to her door, in one of the aristocratic neighborhoods of Pittsburg, and sought her heip as a sister. Says he in relating the incident: . “1 was cast aside as one of the outcasts of this world, but vearing in mind my early Biblical education: ‘He that seeketh shall find; knock, and it shall be opened toyou.’ 1 sought in the United States Supreme Court to regain that which I have been deprived of all these yvears by the connivance, not only of my own people, but through the intrigues of others as well.” Wilson left Dinuba last Monday and is now in Stockton with his attorneys ar- ranging to secure his inheritance.

FRESNO, Can, Sept. 4.—Southbound overland train No. 17 was stopped to-night six miles south of Lathroo by a pile of fourteen raiiroad ties on the track. The engineer saw the danger just in time to stop. A moment later a blaze started in the ties and they were consumed, after which the train passed on. There was much excitement among the passengers, and everybody expected a holdup. Probably some malicions tramp tried to wreck the train.

INGREASE OF SAN (UENTIN'S ROLL Turnkey’s List Grows, | While Deaths Are Fewer. But Three Executions at the Prison During the Past ! Year. Parole System Praisad In a Report to the Board of Di- rectors. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CAL., Sept. 4.—The pititul case of Joseph Cook,the em- bezzling Police Court clerk of S8an Francis- co, came before the State Board of Prison Directors to-day. Cook is dying at Fol- som from asthmatic troubles, ana he has filed an application with the Directors for a parole. Cook was sentenced for eight and was first brought to 8an Quen- His affliction made a change of loca- tion necessary, and he was translerred to Folsom, The trouble has now become so serious that Cook’s death is expected, and so his application for a parole has been pressed, and the papers in the case were sent down from Folsom that the Prison Directors might act to-day. However, a letter re- ceived from Warden Aull of Folsom stated that the man is not in danger of dying within a couple of weeks, and the | Prison Directors'resolved to let the matter | £0 over until the meeting at Folsom. Davia McKean’s application for a parole went over for one month during which time the prison authorities will commu- nicate with the San Francisco officials in | regard to the case. McKean was sent up | from San Francisco for burglary. Samwel Brandt, alias Goldstein, a green- goods man, sent up from San Francisco for grand larceny, made an spplication for parole, but the directors denied it. Henry Beaver's application for parole went over, and the authorities in Tulare County, whence Beaver came to serve a sentence for grand larceny, wiil be com- municated with. Warden Hale submitted his annual re. port for the forty-eighth fiscal year, and the reports of captain of ihe yard, turn- key, resident physician, chaplain and pa- role clerk were passed upon. Special ref- erence was made to the low cost per capita ! of meaintaining the institution. It has been but 25 cents per day. The turnkey’s report shows quite an in- crease of prisoners during the year, the avarage having been 132935, as against 127934 for the previous year. Tue report of the resident physician shows a decrease of six in the number of deaths during the year, the total being twenty-five, which includes three execu- tions, viz : Marshall J. Miller, Frank Kloss and Chum Sing. The Salvation Army comes in for com- mendation at the chaplain’s hands as follows: *I commend most highly the work of the Salvation Army, who have interested themselves in a most practical manner in taking temporary care of pris- oners upon their discharge and have found steadv employment for quite a numbsr of them. Their efforts in this direction cannot be praised too much and should be encouraged in every possible manner.” Tue- parole clerk’s report shows that twenty-two prisoners applied for parole during the year and fifteen applications | were granted by the Board of Prison Di- rectors. Twenty-four prisonersin all are at present at liberty on parole and their reports show all of them to be steadily employed 1n various occupations and to lead a thrifty and industrious life. ““While this law has been in operation only two years,’’ the report reads; “its | effect, so far as administered by your- selves, with but one or two exceptions, | has been an unqualified success and bene- | fit to the prisoners released under its pro- } visions.” The jate mill during the last six months of the fiscal year, under the superintend- ence of C. E. Alcen, has been increasea a considerable degree without a correspond- ing increase 1n the running expenses, which, on the contrary, were lowered to some extent, thus enabling bags to be roduced at a lower cost. The demand or grain bags has been very good. The prospeciive change in the tariff law | nad the tendency to stiffen the maiket and the prison authorities were enabled to sell all the bags on hand ata handsome profit, amounting to §25991 87 for the year. The outlook is that prices will rule higher., % During fair weather prisoners to the number of from fifty to sixty have been kept at work on the San Rafael-Tiburon boulevard without interruption. The re- port in regard to this great Marin County improvement reads as follows: “The work is progressing very satisfac- torily and the road from San Rafael to Greenbrae s about compleied. In order to expedite progress on the road across the marsh from Greenbrae, the construc- tion of which entails a very long haul of material, a track has been laid with rails donated by the San Francisco and North Pacific Raillwav, and upon completion of the road toward S8an Rafael work will be rapidly pushed across the marsh, as well ason the branch road to Ross Valley. While an immense amount of labor is re- quired for these roads, they sre being puilt 1n & most substantial manner, and when completed this will be one of the best constructed roadways in the State of California, fully deserving the name of ‘boulevard’ already bestowed upon it by the citizins of Marin County.”’ GUESTS OF SANTA CRUZ.
