{SGRY CREDITOR AFTER CARMAN S:cretary of the Alaskan Trade Committe Ar- rested in Chicago. /n Oid Land Deal in Sonoma Caused the Surprise and Trouble. arman Left Here a Short Time Ago Establish in the East for the Committee. to Agencies Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Deec. 9 7.—D. M. Carman San Francisco, a member of the Alaska Tradé Committee, was ar- rested at the Great Northern Hotel this evening on the charge of securing money under false pretenses. The war- rant was served by Detectives Weber and Sullivan, who found Carman in a roem occupied by the committee in the | Great Northern Building and in which | an exhibit of Klondike outfits has been placed. Carman appeared surprised ! »~when informed by the detectives that he was under arrest, but he accompa- nied them willingly and soon obtained his release on bond: William Binns of 3751 Indiana avenue is the complainant in the case, and al- leges that some time ago he wa ‘induced by Carman to invest money in & California land syndicate, which €ventually resulted in loss to him. The Alaska Trade . Committee ar- rived in Chicago Sunday st in the private car “San Felipe” over the Northwestern. The parvy is composed of fourteen, and it is said was sent from San Francisco under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and Merchants’' Association of that city to tour the country. The ob- Ject of its trip is said to be to induce those intending to start for the Klon- dike country to make the trip by way of n Francisco. The party is com- posed of Governor Sheakley and wife of Alaska, Walter Sheakley, D. M. Car- man and son, Philip; T. C. Wills and wife, E. J. Taylor and wife, Charles Holbrook M. Jenkins, H. Hare, W, C. and Harry Gray. Binns said this evening that in No- vember, 1893, he was induced by Car- man to purcha fruit twenty-two acres of Kenwood, Sonoma land i v for the land was $2700, and he s that he holds Carman’s re- for six payments amounting to 6 Binns alleges that when he sed the land he was given the option of visiting the place for the pur- pose pection, and, in case he was not says that Carman told him property for or in case he did e to do so the money would be property sirable as rey an exchange. id that an exc and < d that it was not so de- esented and asked rman, it is alleged, ange could be made, ood for San Franelsco uring the neces- Binns Carman for some time. Later man s found in San Francisco, at Binns alleges that he could get no satisfaction. Carman, it is alleged, made many promis: which he failed to keer returned to icago. In January, 1896, Binns al es, he learned that the land he had purchased was not the prope of the Kenwood Land Com- pany, but belonged to Mrs. Mary Granella, an elderly woman, living in Sonoma County. The land company, it is = ged, had contracted for the pur- of the land, but the deal was . On_January 15, 1896, that Mrs. Granelia fore- d Land Com- pany. Since then, Binn says, he has many times tried to see Carman, but failed until to-day. Carman would have nothing to say for publication preferring, as he put it. to make his defense in court, the opportunity for which wiill be given to-morrow morning. 3inns allege: closed on the Kenw D. M. Carman, whose arrest in Chi- cago is reported by the dispatches from that city last night, is down in the directory of San Francisco as man- ager of the State Development Com- miftee, an organization with head- quarters in the Mills building. When the initial meetings of the Alaskan Trade Committee were held in that building Mr. Carman attended and per- formed the duties of secretary. He made himself so useful and was so en- terprising in a general way that he was put in command of the clerical and working force of the organization. He went East in the private car with Governor eakley establish an agency of the committee in Chicago. He planned before he left San Fran- cisco to go to Wi ington from Chi- cago and continue his work at the cap- ital. H. H. Sherwood, president of the Alaskan Trade Committee, was seen at his residence last evening. The dis- pateh to The Call announcing the ar- rest of Mr. Carman was the first in- formation he had of the trouble. He said: “Mr. Carman is secretary of the organization, and went East for the purpose of estahlishing an agency in Chicago. If it is true that he has been arrested for obtaining money the transaction must have been a personal one, for he had no authority to colect money on behalf of the committee or to make any contracts invelving the dis- bursement of funds. To-day I received a letter from him, in which he spoke of the reception the car received in its journey east and the cordial manner in ‘which he was received by the offi- cial representatives in the various States. His arrest is certainly a great surprise to me.” A MINING MAN KILLS HIMSELF Tragic End of Matthias Rider, Formerly of the Com- stock. Without Any Known Reason He Sen a Revolver Bullet Through His Brain. Matthiag Rider, 2 well-known mining man, formerly of the Comstock, ended his life some time last Sunday night by sending a revolver bullet through his brain. He had been rooming for the past eight years at 805 Bush street. Yester- doy afternoon the Chinese boy Wwho The price which Binns agreed | and after visiting the | for | alleges, was the last he | and finally Binns and his wife | makes up the rooms knocked at the door at about half-past 2 o'clock and receiving no answer notified the land- Jady. The door was forced open and the deceased was seen sitting in a chair i)cfure a mirror with a revolver in his ap. There was only one scrap of writing left by the dead man, and that was the following, written on a memorandum book: “Address to my sister, Mrs. Con- rad Shade, No. 3 Golden Place, between Hyde and Larkin.” Gotth. Haist, a civil engineer engaged on the Comstock, said last night that he had known the deceased for about twenty-three or twenty-four years and | that he was esteemed by all who knew { him for his honesty, manhood and so- ciable qualities. Rider worked for a long time in the assay office of the Con. Virginia mine, and about ten years ago resigned his position and came to this city, where he had lived | up to the time of his death. He accu- ‘l mulated about $75,000 by shrewd specu- | lations in mining stocks and lost §: | 000 by the failure of Broker Earl sev- | | eral years ago. His friends know of no reason why he should have taken his life. An in- | quest will be held. ! —_——— DEFENDED HIS BEER. Jeremiah Sullivan, a Saloon-Keep- er, Knocked Down by the Driv- er of a Beer Wagon. Jeremiah Sullivan, proprietor of a saloon at 456 Natoma street, swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday for the arrest of Den- nis Murphy on a charge of battery. { Sullivan's story 1is that he used to take his beer from the Columbia | Brewery, but recently he had patron- | ized another brewer. Murphy is a driver for the Columbia, and took the change as a personal affront. Last Friday Sullivan was in John Cronin's grocery, on Jessie street, near Fourth, when Murphy entered. | | Sullivan was standing with his hands | | in his pockets and Murphy went up to | him and remarking, “So you are say- ing our beer is no good,” struck him a | blow in the face. Sullivan fell, break- ing his collar-bone. —_— THE VENTURE IS A BlG: SUCCESS San Francisco Being Adver- tised by the Alaska Trade People. | | Great Enthusiasm Manifested as the Special Car East. Speeds The suceess of the Alaska trade com- | mittee venture in sending a special car to the East loaded with literature ad- vertising the advantages of San Fran- cisco as an outfitting port is becoming more manifest every da: ing letter from D. M. Carman, who is in charge of the car, bears out this assertion: | | Car San Felipe, en route between | Cheyenne and Denver, Dec. 21, 1897, | Mr, H.'H. Sherwood, Chairman Alaska | Committee, San Francisco, Cal. The phenomenal success with are meeting leads me to sug- the importance of a continuance of the work east of Chicago. The creden- tials which we are carrying, including letters from the Governor and Mayor to | Governors and May and from the hamber of Commerce, Merchants’ As- | seciation and Board of Trade to similar | organizations, assure us of as cordial a reception in the states and cities ahead | of us as have been accorded us in those through which we have come. i in turn €S us an opportunity ng the press in such a mann secure for us thousands of d worth of advertising for San Francis that could not otherwise be secured at y price. In view of the importance of the work, the necessity for prompt | | action and the possible results at com- | paratively small cost, I would advise the mmittee make a strenuous effort to | secure sufficient added funds to warrant | | undertaking the eastern tour. 1 realize that all ur money is at present apy priated and so would not think of lay- | ing out new work unless > who are benefited directly or indir are will- ing to furnish the necessary means Z on the work so auspic- y begun. In addition to the receptions, associated | press dispatches and newspaper articles we are having a continued stream of itors at every stopping place. To indi- cate the interest taken in the move- ment by the railroad officials as well as others, let me say that the manager of the Rio Grande Western Company, in re- spanse to my telegram asking for free transportation from Ogden to Balt Lake and return, wired that he would furnish an_engine to run us over “special’ in order to save us a few hours. % & % The Governor of Wyoming, W. A. Richards, formerly of San Jose and Oak- land. is with us going to Denver for the purpose of presenting us to Governor Adams of Colorado and Mayor McMur- rey, and ta be present at the meeting which will be held at the opera house at Denver tomorrow night. When such things as these are tele- graphed ahead you can readily under- stand that they create a sensation and give us an opportunity of using the press freely. The special object of this letter is to ascertain whether or not sufficient funds can be raised to warrant the expenditure $1,000 in an eastern tour with our ‘nt efficient corps and complete ex- >lease wire me at Chicago on receipt of this your views and I will then after carefully canvassing the situation decide upon a course of action. Yours very truly, D. M. CARMAN. ————— TAYLOR WAS NOT ROBBED. A Sensational Hold-Up Story Ex- ploded by the Police. F. A. Taylor, the cashier of a Mar- ket-street drug store, who claimed to have been sandbagged and robbed early Saturday morning, has admitted to Captain Bohen that he told the story in order to ‘square” himself with his wife. The statement which was made to the police last night is as follows: “I admit that I told the re- porters at the Receiving Hospital that I had been drugged and robbed of $42. I claimed I had been attacked by three men, and when I recovered con- sciousness I found myself in an alley near where I lived. I now state that I was not robbed, but had squandered my wages in having a good time, and T purposely told the story so as to mis- lead my wife.” ———————— Druids’ Relief Committee.

State Supreme Tribunal Peti- tioned for a Writ of Probable Cause. Judge Bahrs Perfects the Transcript on Appeal by Making an Annotation. And now come the attorneys for Murderer Durrant to make their last desperate play in the game intended to save the neck of their client from the noose; inelegantly but forcibly ex- pressed, the case of Willlam Henry Theodore Durrant fs truly “coming down to cases.” The last move of the defendant’s at- torneys took a double form, in which both the Superior and the Supreme Courts furnished a field of action. In the more august tribuhal the father of the convicted man filed a petition by his attorneys for a writ of probable cause on the appeal to be issued, stay- ing all proceedings of the Superior Court made under the order of Decem- ber 15, and directing the Warden of the State Prison at San Quentin Lo make no execution until the determin- ation of the appeal by the Supreme Ceurt. Attached to the petition is a certified copy of the order fixing January 7 as the date for the execution of the death sentence, the objection of defendant’s attorneys to the order, their exception and motice of appeal to the Supreme Court and the petition for a writ of probable cause presented to Judge Bahrs, which was denied. The objection to the judgment of Bahrs is based upon the fact that the sentence is to be executed within thir- ty days from the time of sentence, and it is maintained that under section 1217 of the Penal Code the execution cannot take place within less than sixty days nor more than ninety days from the time of passing sentence. The case will be argued in the Supreme Court chambers at 2 p. m. to-day. About 4 p. m. yesterday Attorney Louis P. Boardman of counsel for de- fendant appeared in Judge Bah chambers with a copy of the tram cript on appeal. Walter Hinkley was sent for to represent the District At- torney’s office. ‘The purpose of the meeting was to perfect the transeript on appeal from Judge Bahrs' last or- der. It will be remembered that Attorney Deuprey asked at this time for permis- sion to file an affidavit setting forth certain facts, which was granted, and that afterward Judge Bahrs and Deu- prey clashed on the ailegation of the Court that Deuprey had inserted cer- tain things in the affidavit of which he had not given notice in open court. This matter was settled yesterday by the Judge making a kind of annota- tion to be inserted in the transeript, ex- plaining for the benefit of the Supreme Court the facts in connection with this difference of opinion. The document was then filed in the County Clerk’s office. JANY TORSES FALL T0 EXRTI Paralysis Is Prevalent in Con- sequence of Too High Feeding. A Serious Epidemic Is Now Attack- ing All the Work Animals. There was consternation among the teamsters and draymen yesterday on account of their horges falling helpless upon the highways and byways of the city. Fine large draught animals and several thoroughbreds dropped to the pavement as though struck by a bolt of lightning. The horse ambulances of every veterinary institution in the city were called into use, and the helpless beasts were carted away to be placed under the care of those who doctor equines. During the day no less than eighty horses were thus stricken and sent to the hospitals. The cause of all this suffering was paralysis, induced by too much hearty feeding during the two holida; technical name for this ailmen Dr. F geon, s J. Creely, the veterinary sur- s ‘azotura,’” and it is one of the hardest complaints that we have to d deal with. The easiest way to explain the nature of the disease is to begin with a healthy animal. Take a horse that is worked during the week and well fed. Let him cease work for sev- eral days and the owner keep up the diet of grain and bran. This food contains a large amount of saccharine matter, and this nitrogenous food sets up a hypernitrogenous condition, for the internal arrangement of the horse is different from that of the human being, and instead of being taken up and worked over by the kidneys, it the first exercise. The horse starts out feeling frisky for his rest and good food. After going a little distance the blood be- comes as if inflamed, the horse breaks into a profuse perspiration and then staggers. The next move is down, for the animal is sure to fall. By this time paralysis has set in, and then comes the ambulance.” Dr. Creely led the way into his hos- pital, where half a dozen fine horses lay helpless in the stalls, unable to move their hind legs. It seems that the paralysis strikes them in the spine. Some of the animals have the power to move their fore feet, but their hind iegs are absolutely useless. It is truly pitiful to witness the suffering of the poor beasts, for they seem to realize that they are in the grasp of a terrible foe, and if they are not bound firmly they will thrash around and beat their heads and shoulders to a jelly. Sev- eral in the first stages were able to stand, but the perspiration continued to pour from their skins. The doctor said he expects that within the next week there will be many more cases because of the lay- off from work of the next holiday, when the horses will be allowed to stand for two or three days without being worked. He said: “I would like to warn the owners of horses against being too kind te their stock in the matter of feeding on such oceasions. Let them give only good hay and no grains or bran. This comvlaint attacks lar to Bright's disease in man. It is aimost incurable.” Among the animals that went o their feet yesterday was a fine sor- rel mare owned by the Hendy Machine Works. She fell on Golden Gate avenue, and at 3 o'clock she was help- less on her side. The George W. Lucy Draying Company had one of their beautiful grays fall on Market and Front streets. Wall, the drayman, had one of his horses go down on Kearny and Drumm streets. And so they fell all over town. — e AMONG THE MINISTERS. Chinese Mission to Be Dedicated. The Christian Church. The new Congregational Mission sit- uated at § Brennan place will be dedi- cated on January 14th. On the 13th the chapel will be dedicated and a re- ception held. The dedication on the 14th will be marked by several bap- tisms, and in all probability a wedding will take place on that night. The original cost of the building was $1500, but improvements have been made that will add $2500 to the cost. Colone! Holland and Adjutant Ferris of the Salvation Army will arrive in this city to-day. At a meeting of the Christian Minis- terial Union yesterday the discussion on bringing the Christian churches about the bay into closer co-operation was resumed, but no definite conclu- sion was reached. Next week the sub- ject will be continued. The following committee was appointed to look into the matter: Rev. William Gardener, Professor 8. M. Jefferson and Rev. Berry. Mcinnes read a paper before the Congregational Monday Club on “The Will to Believe,” and at the Methodist preachers meeting the time was spent in a discussion of a paper read by Rev. Charles Edward Locke on “Popular Inquiry Regarding Prayer.” LAW OF LIBEL FOR AND AGAINST Interesting Arguments in the Charge of Libel Against Lawrence. Judge Campbell Will Take Till Jan- uary 8 Before Rendering His Decision. All day yesterday Judge Campbell listened to the arguments of counsel in the criminal libel charge against A. M. Lawrence of the Examiner, prose- cuted at the instance of Claus Sprec- kels. A bench warrant had been issued Friday for the defendant’s arrest, as he failed to appear in court, made re- turnable yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and he was there promptly or time. Attorney Grove L. Johnson for the prosecution opened the argument and contended that the Penal Code of this State amply covered the case without the necessity of going -outside the State. He quoted in rt of his contention sections 0 and 253 of the code, particulariy the first named. It had been proved that the article complained of was libelous upon its face and therefore malice was pre- sumed. The defendant, as managing editor, must be held responsible for the publi- cation of the libelous article, and it no defense that he was at the ater that night and did not know of its publication till some weeks later. \ At ey G t McEnerney, for the defendant, argued at considerable length that there must be in the publi- cation of a libelous article the intent tc willfully injure, vex, harass and annoy the person libeled, and in this case nc such intention had been shown. He quoted numerc iti 1 support S argu at, Attorney n rose to reply he presented ar overwhelming mass of authorities the punishment for Penal Code was enacted sponsibility by York and delegating his avthority to another.

Is it to be supposed that a man pos- S d of some type and a printing press can print that which he would not dare to say to a man's face in the public streets. The courts must protect men whose reputations have been at tacked by the libeler, or they will bs compelled to take the law into then own hands.” The Judge said he would like to have ample time to examine the authorities quoted by counsel, and reserved his de- cision till Saturday, January 8. — e Burglars at Work. tempted to enter the resi- Morris Harvey at 419 Third Burglars dence of Dr. street last night.
