10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1898 o e s “BILL'S” GOODS ATTACHED «Swiftwater” Failed Pay for His Bride’s Purchases. to Divorce Proceedings Inter- rupted His Dream of Bliss. Then Installments Stopped and the Creditors Went to the Courts. “Swiftwater Bill,” the mining and mat- rimonial expert of Kiondike and other fame, is In a new legal difficulty. When “Bill,"” who in every-day life is known as Willlam C. Gates, entered into analliance, offensive and defensive, with Grace la More, after her sister Gussie had refused his nuggets and diamonds, he found that she was indebted to the California Furni- | ture Company to the extent of $1043 for an | elegant lot of new furniture for her flat. There were settees, there were otto- mans, costly couches and easy chairs, and the heart of Willlam was filled with joy, for guch trifles are prohibitive luxuries on | the Klondike, and he saw photographs of | sing among such cozy sur- Thereupon he called upon the furniture company and guaranteed to pay the amount for which his bride-to-be had obligated herself. Mrs. “Swiftwater BIll's” indebtedness was reduced by the sum of $300, but there the payment stopped. While connubial bliss was in progress Willam was willing to pay, but when the honeymoon waned and divorce clouds obscured the sky of wedded life it was different. Willlam went behind in his payments, and then, to the woe of the furniture company, he depart- ed for the north to look for his long-lost relatives, who were to be made glad by his wealth acquired in the frozen north. Mrs. “Swiftwater Bfll"” stored the furni- ture at the time she retired to the seclu- | sion of her sister's home, placing it in the custody of a furniture company whose warehouse is_at 301 Stockton street. “Swiftwater Willlam" seemed to be the responsible party, so the furniture com- pany waited until he could return from the north before beginning proceedings. “Bill’ came back to his old haunts at the Baldwin day before yesterday, and a suit was immediately begun for the $743 that is claimed to be owing the company. The furniture in the warehouse was at- tached, and Gates was served with a summons to appear in the Superior Court. | Sheriff Whelan w has possession of | “Swiftwater Bill nuptial couch. CONGRESSMAN JIM WILL PLAY BALL himself rep: roundings. Will Be the Star Attraction at | Central Park Next Sunday. Will Run for Congress—Gives His Opinion on the Cuban Question. James J. Corbett, future Congressman | from Harlem Flats, Harlem, New York, | once of Hayes Valley, this city, by pro- | fesslon 2 pugillst but now a thesplan, has signed with the Olymplc aggregation | of players and will appear in Central | Park next Sunday as the star attraction. | Besides being credited with being & good | fighter, actor and handball player, Jim has always aspired to win fame as a ball- player. Shortly after his go with Fitz- simmons, and while the talk of another | meeting ‘was going on, Corbett kept In | condition by playing ball with the big teams of the National League. As first | baseman he took everything that came along, and was favorably commented on | by the writers of the East. His work at | the bat was of high order, and as a draw- | ing card he was immense. orbett received a telegram from a well- known Eastern paper yesterday asking | hat stand he would take on the Cuban | question if elected to Congress, and also his opinfon on McKinley's latest move. | To this request Corbett replied: “If| cted, will advocate all measures de. ed to free Cuba and speedily relieve | sufferings of her people. Think Presi- McKinley altogether too conserva- tive. I favor prompt and aggressive action under = the ~present existing circum- stances.” | Another telegram asking what truth | there was in the story of his having Con- gressional aspirations elicited the follow- ing reply: “Report true. Have received Jetters from my friends in Harlem Dis- trict asking if I would accept the nomina-~ tion for Congress next fall. Have written, | would accept same and will if nominated make & personal canvass, and feel con- fident that if elected my friends will never | have cause to regret in having honored | me with the high office.” When asked what party he advocated and his reason for doing so_Jim answered that he was a Democrat because his father was. Returning to the Cuban question, he sald if elected to Congress his duties might not permit him to enlist as a soldler in the event of war, but he would send a substitute. Jim thinks that steps should be immediately taken to pre- vent the Spanish flotilla coming within striking distance of this country. The ringing up of the curtain cut further conversation short, as with a hitch of his trousers the “Naval Cadet” took his position on the quarterdeck. —————— For Contempt of Court.

LOOTING OF A SCHOOLHOUSE Plumbing of the Winfleld Scott Wrecked by Vandals. Damage 'lo the Amount of Several Hundred Dollars Done. Police Have Been Notified and Are on the Lookout for the Marauders. ‘The Winfleld Scott School at Lombard and Baker streets was looted by thieves on Thursday evening last, and it will cost the School Department several hundred dollars to repair the damage done. The fact that the schoolhouse had been visited by vandals was not known until the next morning, when a report was rendered to the office of the Board of Education. It was evident that the work was done between the time school let out on Thursday and the time the scholars arrived on Friday. The thieves were evidently after junk, for not a particle of lead pipe or other salable metal was left about the build- ing. of lead in the building was carried off. Even the connections were unscrewed and made way with. Outside of break- ing open a few desks, from which noth- ing of value was obtained, the thieves carried their operations no further. Inspector of Buildings O'Brien was notified of the loot of the schoolhouse | and at once gave orders that new pipes be substituted for the stolen ones. He had fron pipes put in, however, to pre- vent a repetition of the robbery. The lead that was stolen could not | be sold for over $5, but it will cost the | department fully $200 to repair the damage. The police have been noti- fied of the robbery and it is believed | that the perpetrators will be in custody | within a short time, suspicion pointing to a couple of hard characters in the neighborhood who were seen prowling | about the school and who are known | to be capable of a job of this kind. HANDBALL PLAYERS DEPART. Casey Plays His Last Game and Is Presented With a Gold- Headed Cane. Phil Casey, the aged but agile handball exponent, left for Denver yesterday, bear- ing with him a handsome gold-headed cane and the best wishes of the many hundred friends he has made since his sojourn here. He will go direct to Den- ver, where he w.l meet ex-Alderman Dunne, his partner in many a hard-fought rubber, who preceded him & few days ago. Yesterday the popular retired champlon of the world, with ex-Assessor J. C. Nealon as a partner, played License Col- lector Theodore F. Bonnet and ex-cham- plon John Riordan ome of the hardest rubbers that has been witnessed in many years at Phil Ryan's court. Casey plaved 2s he did in the days he won his title, covering the court with an agility tnat was astounding in one so oid. Bonnet and Riordan were in their element, and gave their oponents a merry fight .or supremacy. Casey and ..ealon landed the first game by a narrow margin, while the second went to Bonnet and Riordan. ers then redoubled their efforts, and the large crowd velled itself hoarse at the brilliant work. Bonnet, by clever serving, ran the score up to 5, and Riordan added a few more points. = After long rallies anu clever placing, the game went to Bonnet and Riordan. Thelr victory was short lived however, for the New Yorker, by unerr- ing placing and a hard service, galned many points before being retired. Bon- net's side again forged to the front, and the score stood about even. By a serfes of hard smashes Casey ran out, leaving the score 21 to 19. As Mr. Casey had to make preparations ior his departure, the deciding game was not piaved. At the conclusion of the match Mr. calon, In a neat specch, presented the visitor with a beautiful gold-heade. cane as a token of his regard and a memento of Mr. Casey was greatly surprised, and feelingly thanked his friend for his generosity, stating that he would look forward to his next visit to the coast with pleasure. In bebalf of Mr. Dunne he also thanked Mr. Nealon | for the gift. DEATH DEFIED ~ THE COURT The Grim Reaper Intervenes in a Suit for Habeas Corpus. Mrs. Cereghino's Child Held as a Chattel for a Debt by Its Grandmother. Mrs. Elizabeth Cereghino yesterday, through her attorney, Eugene Bert, sued for a writ of habeas corpus for the re- covery of her child, which she claimed was being held by her mother-in-law, Mrs. M. Cereghino, at 14 Hinckley street. The writ was made returnable in Judge Cook’s court at 10 o’clock to-day, and the papers were given to the Sheriff for ser- vice. About an hour afterward the Sher- iff reported to the court that the child was dead. Mrs. Cereghino, with her husband and child, had been living with her mother- in-law for over a year and a few weeks ago her husband left her and went to the Klondike. When he went atvay he was in arrears for board for himself and fam- ily to his mother and when he had gone a family dispute arose over the bill. About three weeks ago Mrs. Cereghino went to live with her brother, leaving her child with its grandmother. Last Thurs- day the child was taken {ll with pneu- monia and on Friday the mother called to take it to her home. The grandmother refused to let her have it in the condition it was in or until the debt was paid, and another dispute arose. Yesterday the mother appealed to the ecourt for the cus- tody of the child, but death had taken it beyond the reach of the power of the Judge. The mother, even in her bitter- ness against her mother-in-law. says she can find no fault with the care and at- tention given the child. A physician was in constant attendance during its {llness and everything possible was done for it. She sald she thought it best to keep away from her mother-in-law and let the court recover her child for her, but death took the child away while she was making her appeal to the law. —_————— Mismated Couples Separated. Judge Troutt yesterday granted Hattle Gallick a divorce from George Gallick on the ground of extreme cruelty. Amanda E. Rockwell has secured a divorce from James Rockwell, who is now serving a six-year term In the penitentiary.

Board of Health Has Warned the Dealers of Its Intentions. The Milk Will Be Dumped Into the Gutter When Found to Be Below Standard. The most rigid crusade that has yet been begun by the Health Department against impure milk will be inaugurat- ed within the next few days. In times | past when tmpure milk has been found in the carts of the dairymen the owners of the ranches have frequently made the claim that their drivers were re- sponsible for the quality of the fluid, and the department has felt loath to arbitrarily fix the responsibility. With- in the past few days Health Inspectors have been quietly holding up carts in all parts of the city and taking samples | to be examined at leisure. In more than fifty cases the milk has | been found to be below the standard, | and a careful record has been kept of the dairies whence it came. In | each instance the owner has been served with a notice that his milk is below standard and that unless a change is made In the quality of his wares prosecution and the dumping of his milk will follow. The Health Department believes that this should be sufficlent warning and that no mistake can be made should | impure milk be sent out by the dairy- men. During the rest of this week wagons will be stopped on all of the| avenues through which they reach this | city, and every can of milk that is not up to the standard adopted by the board will be poured into the gutter. Chief Food and Milk Inspeqtor Dock- ery, who has had several yeais' experi- ence watching the dairymen, believes| that the amount of impure milk! brought into this city has been on the | Increase since the inspection stations | | were abolished, and that the only rem- | | edy is a rigid crusade that will stop the | sale of milk that is below the standard. { —_— | OFF TOLD OF HIMSELF| in | Lengthy Testimony Given i an Endeavor to Prove i an Alibi. At Some Points of the Session Dra- | matic Situations Arose and the Lobby Was Pleased. Albert Hoft was the attraction in the case against himself yesterday In Judge Carroll Cook’s court. For hour after hour | he testified as to his whereabouts at the time of and prior to the murder of Mrs. | Clute. A rather dramatic scene Was pre- | sented to the breathless listeners when | Attorney Schooler took the stand and asked the defendant to show the court | and jury how Detective Seymour had ob- ‘uuned certain evidence after his arrest. As the attorney took the stand the ac- | cusea murderer raised the bloody wea- pon above his counsel's head and said, “the officer stated that there were not enough Germans in the country to save me, and I might as well tell the truth, as | the rope had already been prepared which would take my life away.” The testimony seemed to carry some weight for a mo- | ment, but questions soon led the witness | into other channels and the incident was | forgotten. The witness went over his | story, as previously told, of how he had done ‘certain work for Mrs. Clute at her request and that he also assisted the de- | ceased in packing her household effects prior to her intended departure. “I left by the back way,” he said, and from his | testimony the ‘murdered woman was standing on the front porch at the time of | his departure. The witness, while testi- fying in his_own behalf also gave testi- | mony regarding the explanation he had given to the detectives concerning the cut on his hand. As has been previously tes- tified to, he repeated that the slight wound was received from a tack while re- moving matting from the floor. At the last moment Hoff strenuously denied that he had taken the .ife of Mrs. Clute and his vehemence was such that the lobby broke out in applause, but their demonstrations were quickly quelled by | | the court, followed by a threat that any more disturbance would be followed by confinement in the City Prison. The Judge | fntimated that the case was not a farce, | but a murder trial, and consequently or- | der must be maintained. The husband of the murdered woman, E. R. Clute, was first called to testify as to the financial condition of his wife at the time of the murder, but the testimony was shut out by an objection from the prosecution, but the witness testified that e had never seen the accused prior to the commission of the act for which he was on trial for his life. William Dierks, Thomas Hannon, Willlam Mohrmann, and Mrs. 1da Hollls testified as to the excite- ment of Hoff when he was notified that the facts of the murder had been pub- lished. Charles Brandt stated that Hoff had called at his place of business for a drink on the fatal evening, but that he had been refused, as it seemed he was in an intoxicated condition at the time. Lena Lunden, a school girl, testified that she had seen Hoff between 8 and 4 o'clock on a Valencla street car golng south and that he had waved his hand to her. She returned the salutation. Augustus Silverberg and Milton Silver- berg testified that the defendant had worked in the house, but that although they had seen the carpet sack In which he had carrfed his tools they had not seen the coupling pin, but on cross-examina- tion they stated that they were not posi- tive but that the pin may have been in the tool bag. The case will g0 on again o-day. ——————— It being the Intention of J. F.

A COUNTRYMAN SHANGHAIED Jack Cole, a Farmer of Madera, Escapes From a Whaler. Claims to Have Been Taken Aboard When Drunk and Drugged. Lést All His Money and Clothes and Now Awaits Advices From His Friendse. Jack Cole, halling from Madera, clalms that he was shanghaled aboard the whaler Alexander while partially drunk and drugged, and that he escaped from her by swimming ashore at 2 a. m. Tues- day. According to Cole’s statement, he came up from Madera a day or two ago with | $127 in his pocket for the purpose of hav- ing a good time. He had only a casual | acqualntance in the city, and when he| landed here he allowed himself to be per- suaded to accompany & smooth-spoken hotel runner to a hostelry on Jackson | street, of which he appears to have but a | hazy knowledge. No sooner had the run-| ner made his acquaintance than he ap- parently recognized In Cole a good thing | and determined to work it for all it was | worth. The runner began by inviting | Cole to take a drink of water-front| whisky, and after two or three rounds | Cole's recollection of what occurred is| quite befogged. | The runner stuck to Cole, who spent his money liberally and recklessly. Mon- | day morning they renewed their libations, and it must have been that Cole’s money was about exhausted and that the runner | made up his mind it would be a good idea | to get rid of him and make an additional | raise at the same time. Cole says he has | a very hazy recollection of being taken to a shipping office, he thinks at Battery and | Jackson streets, where he remembers signing an advance check for $50 and also shipping papers for a cruise on a whaler. The advance money he did not get, and supposes it went to the runner who took him there. He was taken at once on board the whaler, which was lying in the | stream, where he soon fell into a deep sleep. It was well along in the evening when he awoke and for the first time realized where he was. A few questions of the other members of the crew showed the predicament he was in. Cole knew no more about a ship an. a saflor's dutles than he did about the | nebular hypothesis, and at once made up | his mind that he would get ashore in some way. is I which he believed he had taken, but his mind was set on getting ashore. and find- ing that there was no other way, he d cided to make a swim for it. His co; panions tried to dissuade uim, saying that he would surely drown; but he was de- cided. He thought he might better drown | than go on a whaling voyage. About 2 o'clock a. m., when all hands were sup- posed to be asleep, he took off his outer clothes and, with only his underciothing on, let himself down by the chains at the bow of the vessel and started for shore. He says he thinks he was all of an hour in the water, which was bitterly cold, and | must have swum two or three miles, but | he was determined to get ashore, and | finally landed at one of the wharves— | which one he does not know, but thinks | it was the Jackson-street. | Once on shore, a watchman gave him a | pair of overalls, and he warmed himself in a saloon. When daylight came he | hunted up an acquaintance, who gave him some old clothes, and then he started out | to communicate’ with his people at Ma. dera. He expects to hear from them to- morrow, when he will lose no time in getting ‘back to his home’ as rapidly as possible. The parties who shipped Cole pretended to furnish him with an outfit for the cruise, but when he examined the bag after coming to himself on the whaler he found that it only contained a dirty old quilt, an_old oilskin suit, a second- | hand pair of boots and a plug of tobacco. ATHLETIC CLUBS BIDDING HIGH Jeffries and Sharkey Are Of- fered Tempting Induce- ments to Fight. The National Club Raised the Bid of the Olympics Ten Per Cent. The Olympic and National athletic clubs are trying to bring about a twenty- round contest between Tom Sharkey and Jim Jeffries. | The Olympic Club has offered the pugi- lists 60 per cent of the receipts, but the National has raised the Olympic’s bid 10 per cent, and may possibly capture the plum. Sharkey spoke very strongly a few days ago against fighting again in this city, but when his nearest friends informed him of the fact that he will receive as good If not better treatment here than will be accorded him in the East, where boxing Is tolerated by the authorities, Thomas has altered his intention of going to New York for the purpose of meeting Peter Maher, the Irish champion. The managers of the National Club have been on Sharkey’'s trail ever since Jeffries disposed of Jackson, but no man- ner of coaxing will, seemingly, induce the sailor lad to give an aflirmative or a negative reply to the question, ‘““Will you fight Jeffries in our club for 70 per cent of the rec ? Doubtless, Sharkey will finally consent to fight Jeffries in this city, but under which club the contest will be held is at present a matter of conjecture. Jeffries favors the Olympic Club, but his astute manager, Billy Delaney, will hardly consent to an agreement of any kind unless the monetary consideration is to his fancy. The Olympics will cer- tainly have to make as good an offer as the Nationals if they hope to capture the big drawing card. Whichever club brings off the match, it can be safely sald that it will lose money if it attempts to bring it off at Woodward's Pavilion, which is a very unsafe place for first-class boxing entertainments, that invariably attract large gatherings of fistic sport lovers. The Excelsior Athletic Club will as- suredly have a crowded gymnasium this evening, as its programme of indoor sport is first-class. It Is as follows: Three- round bouts between Jack Stenzler and Joe Kennedy, Jimmy Lawlor and Jimmy Riley, Jimmy Anthony and Frank Skuse, J. McGrath ‘and W. Otts, T. Devine and J. McDevitt, Dougherty and W. Has- kins, W. Hogan and W. Lawlor, Jack Sullivan and Joe Sullivan. As a grand final to the preliminary bouts, P. Lynch, the hard-hitting repre- sentative of the San Francisco Athletic Club, will meet M. McCormick of the Oakland Athletic Club in an eight-round contest for the middle-weight amateur chuflmonump of the coast. Orator James H. Kennedy will introduce the contest- ants in his usual pleasant and unosten- tatious way. The first event will be called snarply at 8 o’clock. The inaugural athletic entertainment and ball of the Yosemite Athletic Club will be held this evening in Odd Fellows' Hall, Seventh and .aarket streets. e ‘Will Mortgage Church Property.

Developments at the Inquest on the Body of Lieutenant Burke. George Cashel, the Brave Patrol Driver, Tells the Story of a Brutal Murder and Foul Cowardice. Coroner Hawkins held an Inquest yesterday on the body of Police Lieu- tenant Willlam F. Burke, who was murdered last Wednesday by Theo- dore Park Haynes while resisting ar- rest for an assault with Intent to mur- der a neighbor. Haynes was present with his attor- neys, J. N. E. Wilson and Edward Sweeney. He listened intently to the testimony with a grim and determined | expression of countenance. When asked by the Coroner whether he wished to testify on his own behalf he replied that he did, but was kept in his seat by Attorney Wilson. At the conclusion of the testimony Haynes said that he had some objections to make to the proceedings, but he was again silenced by his lawyers. | Only two witnesses were examined, Policeman T. W. Marlowe, who ran away when Haynes shot his lieutenant, and the brave patrol driver, George Cashel, who risked his life to take the bleeding form of the mortally wounded officer out of the range of the mur- derer’s bullets. Marlowe gave his testi- mony with a Morcsco tragedian air and a stentorian volce worth at least $20 a week on the boards of that popular re- sort. He told how gallantly he had fired off the five chambers of his trusty re- volver and how he had sauntered away at a lively gait after more ammunition, it appearing to be the practice of the San Francisco police to carry no more ammunition than thelr pistols will hold. The testimony of George Cashel, the patrol driver, was to the effect that as he sat on the wagon watching Lieuten- ant Burke and Officers Marlowe and who held a loaded revolver in each hand, he saw Haynes fire on the de- ceased and saw the deceased fall. At the same moment the officers broke for cover and began firing at Haynes. Just after Haynes fired the first shot at Burke Marlowe ran down the hill at Cashel called upon the officers to help | him take the deceased away from the | place where he was lying in front of | Haynes’ house, but nobody came for- | ward to help him, and he went alone. | Then Marlowe made his appearance | near the house, waved his revolver in | the air and shouted: “Come on, I have | the door covered, and if he comes out | I will kill him.” Detective Cody exhibited the pistols used by the murderer. The handle of the revolver belonging to the deceased was broken and there were three marks on the cylinder in front of the hammer, showing that it had been broken with a hatchet or some similar tool and not by a bullet, as was at first supposed. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a gun- shot wound inflicted by the prisoner. COAKLEY IS NOW MISSING. The Most important Witness Against Dr. Hall Cannot Be Found. The second trial of Dr. Samuel H. Hall, accused of having caused the death of Mrs. Ida Coakley through a criminal operation, was resumed yesterday before Judge Dunne. The five remaining jurors required to complete the jury were se- cured_yesterday morning, and a recess was then taken. When court reconvened in the after- noon John Coakley, the husband of the dead woman, was announced to be miss- ing. Coakley was indicted with Hall, and on the first trial the charge of murder pending against him was dismissed In or- der that he might testify against Hall. The story told by Coakley was directly against Hall, and laid the death of Mrs. Coakley at Hall's door. The nolice and deputies from the Sheriff's office have used every endeavor to locate him, and it is now belleved that he has fled from the State. Under the cir- cumstances there is but little expectancy of securing a conviction. ————————— Herald Suit Against the Chronicle. On motion of Horace G.

The skeleton in many a household is the peculiar weak- ness of the wife and mother, or of the wife who ought to be a mother and is not. Happiness is de- stroyed by the pres- ence of the secret sickness that may lurk like a grinning death among the most luxurious homes. The most terrible thing about : this condition of af- fairs is that it is entirely needless. There is ip iresacttit thel et why every woman in the world should not be strong and health- ful and capable of fulfilling her whole duty as a wife and mother. Many women go on month after month, and year after year, be- coming weaker and weaker, because of a very natural hesitancy they feel in consult- ing a physician. They know that if they go to a doctor for treatment, the first thing g: will insist on will be ‘‘examination” and ‘‘local treatment.”” This must of course be | distasteful to every modest woman.
