14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY. EPTEMBER 11, 1897. SAVED HER LIFE BY A WILD RIDE Little Ena Torris Ate| Some Arsenic While at Play. NO HELP WITHIN SEVERAL MILES. As the Foaming Horses Gal- loped Down the Road, “‘For Life” the Rescuer Cried. RACE WITH i M DEATH. The Road Was Oleared by All Travelers to Give the Right of Way. Little Ena Torris’ life was saved yester- day by a wild ride of threc miles made by her father and uncleand Dr. Carrie Baker. The ride was witnessed by hundreds of people, who readily bauled to one siae of the rocky Redwood road as they saw the fiying cart in which was a man holding a | rigid child and another doing all in his power 1o urge the foaming horse forward. There were scoresof vehicles on the | Redwood road yesterday, it was a holi- day. Between Fruitvale and Joaquin Miller's place the winding driveway was lined with people enjoying the holiday. Some of the pleasure-seekers were sur- prised when they were a little way out of Fruitvale to see a man, hatless and coat- less, running along the road. No one was pursuing him and there was no apparent | reason for his hurry. Perspiration was streaming from every pore, but he pressed on, leaving everybody wondering at his unseemly baste. A mile further on the crowd of pleasure- seekers saw a hatless rider flying alung on a barcback horse. He had neither oridle nor saddle but only a haiter, yet he urged | the animal on andclung bravely to 1ts| mane. Both the man on foot and the rider were racing against time for a life. When near the Torris piace a thrilling sight was witnessed. The road is very winding and there 1sacurv: every hun- dred yards. The sides of the road are rocky and there are many steep banks. There have been many fatal accidents on it and when people hear an unusual ciat- ter of horses’ hoofs around any of tne curves they expect 10 see a runaway and quickly draw 10 one side. Yesterday a largecrowd heard a heavy beating of horses’ feet and everybody was | expecting to see a serious accident as the auimals swerved around the turn. First around came a buggy in which were two ladies. They were driving as fast as possible, and while one urged on the horses the other kept a lookout for the daugerous places along the road. They motioned the other vehicles that all was right and were quickly out of sight arounc the next curve. A few hundred vards behind them came a cart, which a big horse was pnlling over the ground as though it were a chiid’s express wagon. Everybody on the road drew rein to allow it to pass. One man was driving and the lines were allowed to bang loose on the animal's back. Down it came at break-neck speed. The second man was frantically waving a handker- cuief in one hand and shouting to the | vehicles to let them bave a clear right of | way. | 1o his other hand, wrapped in a white | blanket, he was holding the rigid form ot a little girl. | “For life! for life!” he shouted as he passed the pleasure-seesers. But they had no time to make any inquiries as tie cart flew by like the wind. On arriving at the topof the hill in- quiries were made and the cause of the | strange race adown that precipitous canyon road was explained.

Child- like she swallowed a large quuntity of the stuff, and was playing around for some time before her parents knew what she had done. When the child calied their attention to what she had done they iiscovered that she bad swallowed enough aisenic to | kill several grown-up peopie. | No time vwas lost in taking action, and | while the parents tried all kinds of simple | remedies a messenger was dispaiched to Fruitvale for a doctor. As the child grew worse a man on horseback was next | sent, and on his arrival he found that Dr. Baker had left for the Torris house. The arsenic was fast getting in its deadly work when Dr. Baker : rrived, but | as no one bad told her the nature of the child’s sickness she had not rtaken a siomach pump with her. The child was fast sinking and was unable to respond to | an emelic, so little could be done at the house, and the only hope of saving tke | child’s life was to drive to the doctor’s | otiice. The poison was fast completing | the work it bad begun and not many min- | ates remained in which to ac'. H Dr. Baker and ber attendant jumped in | tire buggy and drove off. Mrs. Torris, the | father, and his brother, holding the dying i cuild, got in the cart and away they went | on the race for life. | On arriving at the doctor's office heroic | measures were resorted to, but it was | twelve hours before the efforts to | that young life bore any fruit. ! “Ten minutes more,” said Dr. Baker to- day, “and help would have been too late.

But, as Mrs. Lake says, “'Ius a d.fference of opin- 1on, that’s all.”” LAST POSTPONEMENT. Judge Wallace Announces That He Will Render a Decision in the Law- rence Case Next Friday. A month ago A. M. Lawrence of the Examiner was arrested for criminal libel on complaint of Claus Spreckels. Police Judge Campbell made an order directing that the accused should appear in court, giving notice that Lawrence's bail would be forfeited if the order was not obeyed. Thereupon A. J. Clunie went before Judgs Seawell, the presiding Judgs of the Su- perior Court, and obtained from that court an order prohibiting the Police Judge from declaring a forfeiture of Law- rence’s bond. Judee Seawell was asked by petition in proper form to dismiss the writ, but assigned the hearing of the ques- tion to Judge Wallace. Every time the case comes up in Judze Waliace’s court Clunie and McEnerney appear begging for delay. The postponement is asked on one pretext or another. Lawrence fell from a bicycle and hurt his collar-bone, and delay twice was granted on that ac- count. In Judge Wallace's court vesterday Grove L~ Johnson, counsel for Claus Sur-ckels, was ready to proceed as usual and vigorously opposed further postpone- ment, but A, J. Ciunie was on hand with another request for delay. The last ex- cuse given was that Mr. McEnerney wanted to make some amendment. Judge Wallace manifested impatience yesterday morning when Clunie asked for another postpcnement, because counsel on both sides had agreed thai the matter should be disposed of September 10. The court reluctantly allowed an extension of time until next Friday for McEnerney to amend, but gave notice that the case would be absolutely and peremptorily de- cided at that time. ———— Suit for Unpaid Taxes.

Fig | was recalled for cross-examina- tion and was kept on the stand ali day. Mr. Ach pursued the same tacticsin this examination that ne did on Wednes- dny, quizzing the witness in regard 10 his actions on June 1 and 2 down to the most minute details. To qu:stions about the important points which be had testified to on direct exawmination Figel gave posi- tive an-wers, but on minor matters his memory was at fault. | The question “What did you do at the | bank on June 1?27 the defendant refused | to answer on the grounds that it might in- | criminate him on the charges of embezzle- ment on which he 1s already held. The witness was asked to write thename of B. Josephs, but an objection was sus- taived. In the argument on this point the pros- ecution said they hoped to show by the | difference in penmanship at present and | 3(1 June 1that Figel was nervous cn that ay. Mr. Ach dwelt at length on the assertion of Figel that he had sold his 32-caliber | pistol to Heffman. The witness swore that he bad sold it for $5 to Hoffman a week or ten days be- fore his death in the room at the offices known as Rothchild’s oflice, but he couldn’t tell anything of the conversation | held in regard io the transsciion nor the denomination of the money paid him, He didn’t know exac.ly where he got tbe | pistol from just before he took it to the A Musical Special, Practically that is what to-day’s issue of Town Talk i, with its portrait of littie Eva May Bolger on the title page, Mrs. J.

Every one who meets the little child soon learns to love her, and out st the hospital she has become a prime favorite already. At the mission, where she has been for the last year, she is almost worshiped snd last night a special prayer service was held for i her. In visiting some of the family houses about a year ago Miss Lake wus attracied by the appearance of a little Chinese girl, who was painfully hobbling around the bhouse with the aid of crude wooden crutches. She appeared to have charge of two unruly little boys who were givine her a lot of bother. Miss Lake made some inquiries about her, and found that some | two or three years belore the child had received a bad fall. A Chinese docior was | caliel in at once. That he knew nothing about surgery was apparent, for in lieu of | ical instruments he used rods of red | This harsh treatment only made the child worse. Then for two years she was left totally uncared for. She slept in a room that had not the sligitest vestige of a window. Her bed consisted of two wooden saw-horses, on which were placed rouzh wooden beards. These were covered by a rice mat, and a few dirty, vermin infested ragsdid duty as covering. By this time her hip was one mass of running sores. Miss Lake then obtained tha reluctant | consent of her parents 10 have her visitea by a white doctor. Dr. B. T. Burton | kindly offered his services, and they were | accepted at once, | After a time she was removed to the mis:ion and the doctor discovered that the hip bone had been broken in the fall and a splinter of the bone about three inc es long was hanging almost free from the bone. And worse still, the bone was slowly decaying.

It seems ihat the poor child—for she was little else—feil in love with a man who wanted to rescue and marry her. He ap- plied to the Chinatown squad for help. The raid was attempted, but it was a fail- ure. 1t was not known just what girl they were trying to rescue, but the owner of the house had his suspicions. In a day or two he invited the girl to go riding with himself and some friends. She consented and they proceeded to drive her out into the thickest part of the woods in the park. There, by threatening her with death, flourishing pistols and knives 1n a sug- gestive way, they extorted from her a cou- fession of her attempted rescue and the name of her lover. Somse dark night the lover will be put out of the way, and the girl of course will never be heard of again.

Ledges of Gold-Bearing Quartz Known | to Exist on the Coast Range Near Bolinas Bay. | The exilea Duke of Shakespeare’s fancy found, in the forest of Arden, tongues in trees, sermons in stones and books in the | running brook. The singers of the Society Harmonie who went afield the other day apd held high revel 1 the woods of Marin County found more than books in the running brook. They found gold in the bed of Paper-mill Creek and went vigor- | ously to work sluicing out the precious | grains. The stream i1n which the gold was found runs through the land of Arthur Rodgers. The way Mr. Rodgers came into possession of the claim can be briefly told. The property belonged to Mrs. Montgomery, a charming widow and the client of the lawyer. Mr. Rodgers, at the conclu<ion of the litigation in the set- tlement of her first husband’s estate, mar- ried the fair client and thus became the possessor of 3500 acres of forestand stream. The members of the singing society who participated in the three days’ frolic on the Rodgers domain in the redwoods | of Marin County are all business men who once a year join 1in a stag party to get free of the cares of commerce. The first night in the woods the singers pro- duced an original opera called “The False | Prince.” The opera was rendered in great | style and at the conclusion of the per- | formance the chief characters were burned at the stake. The secoud day was inaug- | urated by a champagne cocktail, concocted according to a secret process known only to Henry Plagemann. Morning serenades followed the cocktails and cocktails fol- lowed tne serenades. The second day in the woods, after | many libations, the gold in the creek was | discovered. The historian of the party, Julius Reimer, thus relates the discovery: | “On the second day much excitement was caused by the announcemeut that William Plagemann had discovered in a| creek near by what he believed to be gold. He produced about a bucketful of gravel, | taken from the river-bed near Camp Tay- lor, which, by those of the party who have experience in mining, was pro- | nounced to be richin gold. Several of the party left to verify the discovery, among them being Judge Julius Reimer, Albert Kayser, editor of the Oakland Journal, and Frank Sonderleiter. Each of them prospected independently the Lagunitas Creek, between Camp Taylor ana Taylor- ville, and they brought with® them as | much as they coula carry of gravel, rich | with free gold, gathered in the bed of the | creek for a distance of a third of a mile. | It appears to be quartz gold, which must have been washed down the canyons of | the Coast Range and is found on the sur- | face of the river-bed. There can be no | doubt, if the surface of the river-bed, | where the free gold can be seen with the | naked eye, is #s rich as the specimens | produced, that the deposits, which may have accumulated there for ages, must be | immenselvy rich down at the bedruck of | tbe river-bed. The gold freely amal- gamated with quicksilver. Charles Dechent, a pioneer miner, expressed the belief that the specimens produced by Mr. Plagemann were unaoubtedly gold-bearing gravel. The discovery became imme- diately known to the owner of the land, Arthur Rodeers, and arrangements were periectea to work the deposits. Among those who became excited over the find was old John Messmer, a resi- dent of Taylerville for more than forty vears. He has charge of the paper mili, | which he has superintended since its er.ction, and he declares that the iate S. P. Taylor frequently declared that there was vola in the gnlches and sireams of | the Bolinas Coast Range, and that there must be gold-bearing auartz in these mountains, from whicnh the gold is washed down. Itisalso learned that a company bas been formed to work several ledges of ore discovered in the same mountain range; these discoveries were but recently amp Taylor seem to be such that they SBTI t}’e wgrked by sluice-bexes, and with- oui any machinery.

These samples are taken from the surfice, and there can be no doubt that the deposit at bedrock must be very rich. The incorporators were photo- graphed by William J.

THE CORONER VICTORIOUS. Upheld by the Supreme Court in His Kow With Dr. Kunlman. Coroner Hawkins has come off vic- torious in his bout with Dr. Charles G. Kuhiman over the latter's refusal to testify at an inquest. The Supreme Court yesterday refused Kuhlman’s appeal from an order of the Coroner committing him to jail for contempt of court for his ~action. The trouble all ensued in an inquest over the remains ot Jens W. Sonderup. Sonderup collided with a streetcar in October, 1895, but was apparently not severely injured, and as soon as he picked himself up he took the names of the witnessesto bis mishap and went his way. In April, 1896, Sonderup died, apparently from consumption. Dr. Kuhlman, who was the attending physician, in the death certificate attrib- uted the death of his patient to traumatic or violent spinal-ataxia and paralysi Upon this statement the Board of Healin | refused a burial permit until an inquest was held.

This family bas been in particularly hard luck of late, one of ti:e man’s brothers being bedridden for along time and on the night that the boy disap- peared the head of the family went home with a broken hand, which was caused by getting it caughtin machinery. On Thursday morning the boys, who were inseparable friends, said they were going to the Presidio and that they would return by noon so as to attend the matine> in the afternoon. That was the last seen of them, although Mr. Butler and Mr. Gunn have hunted all over the city. Considerable time was consumed in “searching the ocean <hore and clffs south of the fort, the fear being that the lads had strayed in thatdirection and that something had happened tothem. Young Shephard was known to have had consid- erable money with him, as his parents were not sparing in their allowance of pocket-money to the boy, who was the youngest and consequently the pet of the famiiy. Thnere was no reason for the lads to run away from home, as they were well cared for by their relatives.
