Dennis Wired the Coin and | Has Received the ! Deed. { An Arrest Was Planned, but Was Thwarted by the County | Lins. | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | %08 Broadway, April 1. | -A. D. Dennis, the well known patron of sport and a Broadway cigar dealer, ran the livellest race of his life in his attempt to buy a gold mine. During the past two or three years Oak- land has been smitten hard with the gold fever, and everybody with a few dollars to spare or that could borrow a few dol- lars has been speculating in mining stock. | Among the most enthusiastic speculators was ex-Chief Fair of the Fire Depart- | ment. Some months ago he heard of a good thing in Placer County, and with two or three others he obtained an option upon it, putting up a bond. After doing he made every possible attempt to raise the money to complete the pur- S0 chase. The option held by Fair expired at mid- night on April 12. About two days prior to that time A. D. Dennis, himself a great speculator, heard of Chief Fair's ’‘good thing, and he sent an expert named Joh: twelve and a half miles from Auburn, to report on it. The expert satisfled Dennis and Frank Searing, who was in partner- ship with him, that the mine was valu- able, and they at once determined to pur- chase it. On the morning of the 14th Dennis learned that Fair had taken the coin to Auburn, there to meet Mr. Triblett, the owner of the mine, and complete the deal. He at once went to the telegraph office, caught his expert, Johnson, at Auburn, authorized him to go out to the Triblett }'mne and make the puschase without de- ay. Johnson left Auburn with a fleet rig just as Chief Fair arrived on the train from Oakland. He heard of Johnson's mission, and thinking to get the better of the expert he hired a rig and took a Dep- uty Constable with him hopin, that something might arise which would jus- tify him in_having the Constable arrest and detain Johnson. Both teams flew along the county roads and each was so anxious to get to the mine first that the race was considered as being equivalent to a contest with a | $1000 purse hung up for each mile. John- son Kept the lead until they reached the last gate on the route. While he was opening it Fair and the deputy caught up with him. Somehow or other there s an encounter and Johnson said he was struck op the head with the deputy'’s revolver. However, he managed to get in his rig, and knowing that he was over the county line, he defied the constable to do his worst, and renewed his race to the ranch. At this point Mr. Fair concluded that Triblett would probably be in Auburn ready to close the deal, and that Johnson would have his trip to the mine for noth- ing. Accordingly Fair drove back. Johnson finished the journey, met Mr. Triblett and closed the deal. Then, thinking that Fair would be in Auburn Johnson persuaded Triblett that it would be better to go and have the deeds re- corded at Placerville, so he and Triblett went to Placerville and closed their pur- | chase while Mr. Fair was walting at unhum for the mine-owner who never came. ~Dennis now declares he has a fortune in sight and is busy telling his friends how he secured it. THE CROWDED SCHOOLS. Another Mass fieeting to Be Held to Discuss the Situation. ALAMEDA, April 19.—The meeting of the Municipal League last evening was al- most entirely devoted to a discussion of the overcrowded condition of the public £chools and to the best method for alle- viating it. School Director Tisdale, Dr. Scott (president of the Board of Educa- tion) and Superintendent Sullivin spoke in the matter and set forth the evils com- plained of. Statistics were given showing the rapid increase in the number of school children and the urgent demand for relief of some kind. The work of the committes of thirteen was referred to and regret expressed that it had come to naught. Finally, after a full discussion, it was decided to call a mass-meeting for some evening next week for the purpose of having another dis- cussion and if possible 50\'!5“’\1; some means for providing the much-needed ad- ditional accommodation. Son to the mine, which is located | SAN FRANCISCO IS THREATENED Dr. Chapman Wishes It to Follow Riverside’s Example. Liquor Dealers May Find It Advisable to Send Him to Europe. Is Evidently Not Innocent of Political Methods. The Evangelist Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 19. Dr. B. S. Chapman, who recently re- signed from ministerial work to lead the campaign of temperance and prohibition in California, must have struck terror into the ranks of the Liquor Dealers’ As- | sociation in all parts of the State. If the doctor, who was always popular in this city, is capable of doing what is credited to him in Riverside, he would be a good man for the anti-temperance peo- ple to subsidize so that he might pass the rest of his days in Europe. In Riverside recently there was a great campalgn. The little town was wrought up over the question of prohibition. When matters appeared to be wavering Dr. Chapman was sent for, and after four ad- dresses his mission was so complete that Riverside voted for prohibition, and now it is impossible to obtain within its bor- ders anything more opposed to public morals than cold tea and iced lemonade. A report has been received from River- side in which Dr. Chapman is given near- 1y all the credit for carrying the temper- ance question at the polls. His addresse: | his dodgers, his eloquence, his versatilit; his methods of canvassing, are all praised to the skies, and part of the report, unin- tentionally, no doubt, shows that the af- fable doctor is considerable of a politi- cian. It says: ‘“‘He knew how to reach after votes and get them: he was wise enough never to say one thing that would cost the cause a single vote. For one nlghl the city band was engaged. All the ladles were pressed into service,” and the victory was so overwhelming that 846 votes were cast for prohibition and only 469 in favor of licensing the liquor traffic. Dr. Chapman has been closeted in his study for the past three days, and is care- fully laying out a plan of campaign which he hopes will succeed in securing prohibi- tion for San Francisco. A year ago an or- ganized attempt, commenced rather late, it is true, was made to bring Oakland into | the temperance columns, but although the city is so generously studded with spires it was unsuccessful, and in fact many | consider this midnight-closing town a | hopeless case. Dr. Chapman, however, is done at Riverside he believes can be done elsewhere. WOODWARD WAS ABSENT. the Public Interest Again. OAKLAND, April 19.—The City Council refused to give Health Officer Dunn an additional $25 for a horse and buggy. His salary is $150 per month, and the Finance Committee recommended the addition, | but by the absence of the chairman, Mr. Woodward, the measure was lost by a vote of 5 to 5. The “solid six” can pass | it when Mr. Woodward is present, so | President Heitmann rereferred it to the committee. A motion to denv_the petition of J. P. Beckett to sewer Thirty-seventh street, between Market and West, by private contract met a like fate. Councilman Girard declared tnat “the contractors are | in ‘cahoots’ with some of the Council- | men, who sometimes get a slice of the | spoils. Some of the contractors have | come to me and wanted me to insist upon public contracts.” Other members thought that private work was not as well done as public work private contracts. and opposed any claimed that individuals circula tition for private work were given thelrs at cost at the expense of others. ——————— INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLHOUSES.

The entire property of Behrend and | Fabian Joost and others, consisting in all of forty-two parcels of land in the Mis- sion and University Extension homestead, was bid in at commissioners’ sale by Nicholas and Henry Ohlandt and John A. Buck. The property sold for $203,136 64. This was on a transaction of both real and personal property amounting to $239,- 69 64. The indebtedness was for moneys | advanced, secured by two deedstof trust, | and covered by a subsequent agreement | between the parties. Full judgment (or; $335,935 46 was given in October last, with | interest at 7 per cent. Since then, how- and the deficiency judgment now amounts to $116,734 89, on which the interest is still being paid.
