OAKLAND, Aug. 11.—Miss Etta Payne, one of the victim's of Frank H.

During his pastorate Father McAvoy has rendered falthful service to his church. He has bullt a convent at San Leandro and a church at S8an Lorenzo. He also was made the beneficiary of much valuable property which, it {s said, he willed to the Archbishop for the use of the church. Father McAvoy was also ac- tive in elvic work.

SOLDIERS TO STAND TRIAL WILL SHIMAN AND HARRY BAKER MUST EXPLAIN. Objected to Being Shot by a Kodak and Are Charged With Break- ing a Chinaman’s Leg. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Aug. 11 Soeiety at S8an Leandro is considerably disturbed over a preliminary examination for felony that is to be held next Satur- day before Judge Quinn. The prisoners are Will Shiman and Harry Baker, and they are charged with willfully and felon- iously attacking a Chinaman, to wit, the cook of the Meek family, and breaking his leg. ‘Will Shiman and Harry Baker come from two of the best-known families in Mr. Shiman Sr. 1s an old rancher who is credited with being comparatively wealthy. His family is one of the leading ones of this count; and Willilam and Harry Baker are two socfal lights. When the present war broke out nothing would satisfy these young men but to enlist in the Eighth California Regiment, now stationed at Camp Barrett. Last Sunday the young privates were granted a leave of absenc and went to San Lorenzo. Junction on their way home. While at the Junction the Chinese cook came along on his whee The Meek cook Is a very intelligent, well- educated Chinaman. He is Americanized to a defiree, even to the point of being u kodak flend. On the day mentioned the | cook went out with his kodak intending to take some pictures. At San Lorenzo Junction he met_the two priva from Camp Barrett. Just what transpired s somewhat doubtful, and will be told under oath before Judge Quinn next Saturda; The Chinaman says he was wheeling Feucefully by when the two young sold- ers upset him, beat him, threw him down and broke his leg. He 1s now in a hospital with his broken limb in splints, but he swore to a warrant charging Shiman and | Baker with the crime. The boys were released on bonds of $1000 each, and Attorneys Nye & Kinsell | and Frank Brearty have been engaged to defend them. The Chinaman h been with the Meek family many years, and his employers have expressed their deter- mination to press the case, and If it | should appear to be one of cruelty no len- iency will be shown on the part of the rosecution, and the Chinaman will not ack for special counsel to take care of his side of the case. It is said that the original cause of the trouble was an attempt on the part of the Chinaman to take a snap-shot picture of the two privates on leave. This was thought to be altogether too humiliating a positlon for United States soldiers, and it ended in a skirmish with the Chinaman | underneath, | AN IMPORTANT POINT | MAP SHOWING THE WATER FRONT OF EARLY DAYS. Evidence Introduced in the E'r:u:utml1 Suit That Carries With It Great Weight. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway. Aug. 11 Evidence was admitted - in the water front case to-day that bears very strongly on the question of street openings through the disputed territory in 1868. The admis- | sion of the map In question is a strong point on behalf of the city of Oakland, for it shows the dedication of certain West Oakland streets and opens the way. to the other exhibits which establish the city’s claim to other streets. The exhibit 1s a copy of the one filed with the County Recorder in 1864, and bears the indorse- ment of A. M. Church, then County Re- | corder. It is a plat of land known a Oakland Point, at the old railroad ferr: Janding, and describes certain land near Willow street, along which the Alameda local now runs. Attorney A. A. Moore made strenuous objections against the introduction of the map, and later, when it w being used as the basis for Engincer Morgan's testi- | mony, more objections were made. Judge | on_all ‘points. The importance of this evidence is very | marked, because under the decision of the Supreme Court the city of Oakla:d is en- titled to all streets through water front | property which had ever been dedicated | to public use. The map is said to prove that several of these streets were dedi- cated prior to 1868. W R Davis, who is making such a strong fight on behalf of tHe city, asserts that Oakland will probably establish her claim to streets opened to low-water mark along that strip of territory extending from Market street to the north arm of the estuary. The. city’s attorneys also hope to establish the city's right to Ade- lne street and a number of streets in West Oakland, —— e Two Queer Burglaries. OAKLAND, Aug. 11.—The police detec- tives are considerably puzzled over two purglaries that were committed at the reslsenct’ of Mrs. Catherine A. Morgan, 59 Thirty-fourth street, lately. The house was visited last Monday afternoon and $10 was secured. On Tuesday night {he burglars returned and got away with additional money and jewelry. On the first occasion the burglars entered the room in which Mrs. Morgan was asleep. On the second burglary a silver watch was taken, while a gold watch in the same case was undisturbed.

A NEAT LEGAL SKIRMISH TROUBLE ALL CAUSED BY A QUARREL OVER TITLE. She Lost Her Property by Careless- ness and Regained It Through Her Husband’s Negli- gence. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Aug. 1L Twenty-seven years of married life, twenty of which according to the testimony have been passed in fighting. Very few complaints in the Alameda courts contaln such a history of alleged inhumanity as that of Caroline Madsen against her husband. Not only has Ole lost his wife, but he has also lost that which he seemed | to prize a great deal more—the home at Eighteenth and Market streets. In the recovery of his home a very interesting legal battle was conducted. In the first place Mrs. Madsen lost the property le- gally by allowing the statute to lapse. Then Ole lost the property legally b his attorneys failing to include in their complaint the that the lapsing of the statute had caused the property to revert to him. The two suits for divorce and for the property hinge one on the other, and in the latter more personality and more in- side history of their quarter of a cen- tury of married unhappiness came out than in the divorce suit. The testimony showed that soon Mrs. Madsen gave Ole $3000 with which to buy a home. After five years she learned that the property stood in her husband’s name. Then their trouble com- menced, and they have been fighting since 1877 over the $3000 house that was bought with her mon M Madsen intended to bring suit to assert her personal right, but she permitted h husband to induce her to take no action and finally she found that the time had could seek redress. Madsen flled his suit to quiet the title in himself, but in his complaint he failed to show the main point_of his contention. Attorney on beHalf of Mrs. Madsen, uh_\(-mcfi to the plaintiff being allowed to amend his com- plaint a second time, and made a novel argument that as the woman had lost the property by her own carelessnes and had regained it through the care lessness of her husband it would be in- consistent on the part of the court to take side view, and granted the woman the prop- erty ‘as he had previously granted the decree of divorce. BELIEVE IT WAS CALKINS. He Was the Boy Who Jumped From the Oakland Boat. BERKEL. Aug. 11.—The family of the missing schoolboy, have reached the conclusion that the sul- ctde who jumped from the ferry Tues- day morning was the lost lad. It has been learned that the youth took the Telegraph-avenue cars Tuesday morn- ing at half-past 8 and got off at Four- teenth street. This would give him just time enough to walk to Franklin street | and take the narrow gauge train which connected with tne boat upon which the tragedy occurred. A friend of the Calkins family took the boy's picture to Alameda and showed it to Mrs. Smith, the witness of the jump, who positively identified it as a liken of the suicide. When it was also er- tained that the description of the cloth- ing of the two as identical, the mother and brothers of the lost boy gave up all hope, and now are certain that he was the unfortun ‘of the death is the ab- The mystery sence of any reason for the act.
