They a rt that the fisherman was not breaking any law, as he was simply disposing of his fish as he had a right to do.

The schooner Una arrived from Pan- ama yesterday morning. She left here Jast April and for once had an un- eventful trip. The last time she went south there were some irregularities in the ship's papers, and Captain ' Haw- kins was nearly landed in jail at Pan- ama. On this o sion everything went in apple-pie order and the schooner en- tered and cleared at all the Central American ports without trouble.

In-| Judge Belcher Decides That Her Grandmother Owns the Prop- erty She Sued For. The suit of Catherine Brown against Thomas Dillon and his wife, Mary Dil- lon, which aroused such interest a few | weeks ago when it came to trial, has been decided by Judge Belch- | er in favor of the defendants. His | decision is that when Matthew Brown, | the deceased father of the plain!if(,‘ deeded his property to his mother, Mrs. Dillon, he was of sound mind, and. the deed is a valid and binding conveyance. Matthew Brown was the son of Mrs. Dillon by a former husband. He was a sickly man, and long before his death it was well known his end was approaching. He lived on the floor over the Dillon residence, and a few hours before his death he was taken downstairs- to his mother's and there the testimony in showed he was presented | a deed conveying to Mrs. Dillon | his quarter interest in a lot on | | the corner of First and Mission streets, valued at $2500. In return for the deed he was given $10. The transaction be- | ing completed Brown was allowed to | remain quiet in his chair for awhile before he should be moved back up- stairs, but within three hours he was dead. It was claimed by the plaintiff that undue influence had been used to se- cure the transferrance of the prop- erty, and it was sought to set aside the deed on that ground, but without success. It was claimed by the de- fendants that Brown owed money to | his mother for his board and that of his wife and child, and that the deed. was in settlement of this debt. In answer, however, it was stated that Mrs. Dillon had been the rents from | her son’s share of the property for | twenty-two years, and that if debt there were it was on the other side of | the book. On these contentions the case was bitterly fought, and the end isnot yet, for the attorneys for the lit- tle girl say they will take the case as far as the courts will let them go The little plaintiff is but eight years old, and, strangely enough, lives with the defendants. She is alone in the world, and her suit is brought by her guardian ad litem, Donzel Stoney. Her father died December 31, 1896, and her mother died a few months after. —— Townsend's famous broken candy, pure and wholesome; 2-1b. boxes 2c. 627 Pal- ace Hotel building. L SIPPLIES FOR - THE KLONDIKE Secretary Alger Urged to Purchase in San Francisco. Cabinet Officers Are Interested in a Chicago Outfitting Deal. Special Inducements by Are the Pacific Coast Merchants. Offerea San Francisco, Dec. 23. of War ssurances have been giv- en to the military authori- ties in Washington that San co can furnish sup- plies for the Klondike relief expedition promptly and cheaply. The newspapers indicate that the supplies are to be obtained else- where. Can it be so ar- ranged that our coast mer- chants will have an oppor- tunity of bidding for these goods ? Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco. Secretary Alger, = - . = Tt may turn out that General Alger, Secretary of War, is a little premature in directing that the Government sup- plies for the relief of the Klondikedes- titute should be purchased in Chicago irstead of San Francisco or Seattle. Unless the Government desires to throw money away, many of the arti- cles required must be bought in San Francisco. The market here is the only place where some of the supplies can be readily obtained and properly cased and packed for shipment. It is true that the goods could be pur- chased here and sent to Chicago, and from that point reshipped to Dawson City, but the cost to the Government would be excessive. 3 In all the lines of desiccated vegeta- bles, in canned and dried fruits and spices San Francisco is the natural market, 3oods of this description | sold by Chicago houses are put up in California. There is no place in the | world where vegetables are cheaper than in California. Cabbages, which can be had here by the carload for 1 | cent a pound, cost three times that sum in Chicago. This vegetable, desic- cated to the strength of twenty pounds in one, is an article of food in great demand. Desiccated potatoes belong to the same class. These arti- cles, handled by the Chicago mer- chants, are bought in this market. The same is true of canned fruits. The dealers of San Francisco under- stand the science of packing and se- lecting for Arctic shipments. For a quarter of a century the whalers and the revenue cutters for the north have been obtaining their goods in this market. Only a short time since there were twelve whalers in the bay. They were provisioned for Arctic ~expedi- tions before sailing away. It is readily admitted that Chicago | is one of the best markets of the world for the purchase of canned meats and beef extracts, but meat is nqt the only article required for the relief of the miners. San Francisco is one of the first markets of the world for the sup- ply of flour, and that commodity should enter largely in the general se- lection of supplies for the expedition | of relief. | _The Chamber of Commerce yester- | day directed thefollowinginquiry to be | transmitted by wire to the War De- partment: SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23, 1897—To Alger, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.: Assurances have been given to the military authorities here that we can furnish supplies for the Klondike relief expedition properly and quickly. Newspapers indicate that the supplies | must be obtained elsewhere. Cannot | it be so arranged that our coast mer- chants may have an opportunity to bid on these supplies? “CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. “By JOHN L. HOWARD, “Vice-President.” THE RAILROAD WINS. Michael Lannon Was Too Late in Settling on His Land. United States Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday rendered an opinion in favor | of the defendants in the case of the | United States of America vs. The Cen- | tral Pacific Railroad Company, E. R. Lunt and K. J. Nichol. The action was brought to cancel the | patent for the east half of thenortheast quarter of section 33, township 22 north, range 4 east, M. D. M., containing eighty acres. It appears that in 1858 Michael Lannon settled upon the west half of the northwest quarter of sec- tion 34, township 22 north, range 4 east, and that in May, 1871, he built a house and moved upon the sub-divi- | sion of land prior to that time, but | not earlier than 1869, two years after the right of the railroad company had attached. ——— Do You Want to Defeat the Candinates Nominated by the Boss Crimmins-Curry- Cator combine?

PROMOTED T0 BE SERGEANTS Two Policemen Made Happy at This Festive Season. George B. Baldwin and Thomas ‘S. Duke the Fortunate Ones. A Report Again in Circulation That Several Members Will Be Placed on the Retired List. Two policemen were made happy at this festive season when Chief Lees sent for them yesterday and notified them that the Police Commissioners had promoted them to be sergeants. They are George B. Baldwin and Thomas S. Duke. The vacancies which they will fill are those caused by the recent death of Drill Instructor Marshall, and the re- tirement of Sergeant Wollweber. After Marshall’'s death Baldwin’s name was prominently mentioned as his successor, as he had been connected with the National Guard as captain for several years, and was known to be thoroughly up in modern drill and military tactics. He is very popular inside and outside the department. He was appointed to the force on Novem- ber 13 last, so that his promotion has been rapid. Duke is also a comparatively new member of the force. He was appointed | 189: on December 5 and since then has done excellent work. The fact of these promotions was kept a profound secret for some unknown reason, but it leak- ed out, and both Baldwin and Duke were the recipient of many congratu- lations yesterday. There is still a vacancy on the detec- tive force, caused by the promotion of Detective Bohen to the captaincy.-The delay in making the appointment, which rests with Chief Lees, is inex- plicable as it has existed since April. The report has been again circulated that at the meeting of the Pension Commissioners the first Monday in January several members of the force, who by their age and length of ser- vice, HER CONDITION CRITICAL. Mary Symora’s Chance to Live Is Not Very Favorable. Charles Bayly, the molder who shot Mary Symora in the Colton House Third and Howard streets, Wednesday afternoon, was arraigned in Judge Campbell's court yesterday morning on a charge of assault to murder. By consent the case was continued till next Wednesday. The young woman is still in a criti- cal condition at the Receiving Hos- pital. Her left side is paralyzed from the bullet touching the spinal column. An attempt has not yet been made to extract it owing to her weak condition. Bayly refuses to talk. He had been drinking heavily for some time and it is supposed he was half crazed with drink when he committed the deed. —_————— Blythe Case to Be Appealed ‘The attorneys in the Blythe case Wed- nesday agreed on a third amended and supplemental bill in the case of the Blythe Company _ against Florence Blythe-Hinckley. United States Circuit Judge Morrow thereupon dismissed the bill, and the Blythe Company will now take an appeal. Only a Cold! Yes; but a cold frequently has a serious ending. Chronic coughs, pneu- monia, bronchitis and consumption all start with a cold. Neglected colds cause more than two-thirds of all the deaths in America. There is a right way and a wrong way to cure a cold, but you can make no mistake In using Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. Itis a pure healthful stimulant which quickens the circulation and restores healthy action to every part of the body. Itis a sure cure for colds, malaria, pneu- monia. It assists nature and builds up the system. Do not be induced to take any inferior whiskey, which your dealer may try to substitute, but be sure that you get Duffy's. Nothing else can produce the same effects. DO YOU WANT TO BUILD? Call on the Fidelity, Empire, Me- chanics’ or California Mutual Build- ing and Loan Association for Loans VERY FAVORABLE TERMS.
