The quall shooters, who sought sport fare so well. About the most successful was a party of Berkeleyans who shot near Mill Valley. The party was composed of Billy Ede, T Snor - [he Moulton Warner, Billy Houston, Billy Durbow, Stewart Rawlins, Edward Rob- inson and C. Turney, and the combined bag was forty birds. Another party of three—H. Kohler, F. Noltemeier and A. Littlewood—covered considerable country near Fairfax with but little to show for their outing. E. Tichnor and William Hale traversed the country above Millwood without see- ing a bird. I5. S. Michelssen, C. M. Wallam and Mr. Graham explored the country near Sausalito. The birds lay so close the dogs could not find them owing to de- fective scent. A number of birds were seen on the military reservation, but the guards were alert and would permit no shooting. The men who sought ducks had much the same experience as the quail shooters. Some of the best-known grounds proved a blank. This was true of Mt. Eden. Ralph Brown, S.

Premonitions of a Fight in the Non- Partisan Convention. There may be a hot time in the Non- Partisan convention to-night when the report of the committee on indorsement of Superior Judges is presented. In this municipal campaign the Non-Partisans declare that loyalty to the new charter is the first consideration, yet the committee appointed to consider judicial nomina- tions has decided to give Henry N. Cle- ment, a nominee for Superior Judge on the Republican ticket, the “cold, distant overlook” and to_approve the nomina- | tions of Judges Wallace, Seawell, Trout and Borden. Frank Suilivan, Mayor Phelan and the other Democratic managers who are seeking to run the Non-Partisan move- ment as a fusion sideshow may have hard work to maintain a slate on which the names of H. N. Clement is not writ- ten. Mr. Clement has been giving his time for years to charter making and is the author of several subdivisions of the pending charter relating to_public utili- fes and municipal reforms. He stands at J the head and front of new charter build- ers.

Despite Manager Morrisey’s unquenchable faith in perpetual good luck, things got started off wrong last night, and for fifteen minutes the gental manager, a squad of specfals and a half hundred perspiring walters were kept hustling to quiet the merriment that resulted from two good turns not on the bills. The gallery gods started the tirst racket. Somewhere down in the four- bit seats they discovered an over-affectionate swain with his arm wrarnad once or twice round the waist of the girl he had bought tickets for. The gallery couldn’t stand for it, and with that quiet Insistence looked for from upstairs, they demanded that ‘‘de guy be thrown out.’” He was. The dog that plays football with tue two 14 R sey’'s feelings. The beast had it in for the leading clown for some reason, and when the kick-off was called he made a forty-yard punt into the audience. The audi- ence returned, but the dog caught the big sphere on the tip of his nose and sent it back for a ten-yard gain, and from then on the play was hot be- tween the audience, the dog and a squad of specials captained by Morrisey. Morrisey got the ball finally, but lost it on an off side play, and a clean punt placed it in the gallery. The gallery worked along on a half dozen clever masse plays and finally returned it to the stage, where Towser missed another punt, and the ball was taken on a down by the elder Paoll. Mo"elduy posted a ten-dollar fine against the dog and the show was re- sumed. trttthttttttt bttt tb ettt sttt b et SRR - 444444444444 FEE 444t E 444 hd mune” burglars remove the Hold furniture while they are ahaenio s¢" This is only one instance of the many that are reported at headquarters, and that is the last heard of the matte : e tax payer who Is being despo! by the active thief and can K°lgl’|0 1)?(“'{::3 tion the fact that Chief Lees' thief takers who are “too busy” to catch programme burglars, can be readily found holding down the fronts of cigar stores in the {ifenderloin,” is no particular satisfac- “If T were rich and could afford these things,” said one of the weary o tims, *‘or if my name was connected with the management of an influential corpor- ation, my property would have been re- covered promptly and the thieves sent to punishment.

ANOTHER FIGHT IS PROMISED MAXWELL AND YOUNG PLUTO Excelsior and Western Athletic Clubs Both Bidding for the Go, and Good Sport Is Probable. Lovers of fistics are to have another op- portunity to lay their good money for or against Sammy Maxwell If Gus Herget, Maxweil's manager, accepts either of iLie propositions that are now offering. Since Maxwell's clever defeat of Jimmy Lawlor he has been a good deal in the sporting eye, and his manager and admirers have been casting about for a suitable contest. Young Pluto, the Australian feather- weight who has recently returned from a old hunting expedition in the Klondike, as been picked as the most likely man for an even money go, and the prelim- inary arrangements with him are practi- cally completed. All that remains ig the acceptance of one of the two offers that heVe been made by the Excelsior and ‘Western Ahtletic clubs. Both organiza- tions have signified their_ desire to pull off the fight, but as yet have stated no definite terms.

COMPLICATIONS IN THE CASE THEY ARE SAID TO BE VERY OLD OFFENDERS. Their Attorney Is Positive They Are What They Claim to Be and That He Can Prove Their Innocence. It J. M. Nead and his wife succeed in proving to Police Judge Low that they are what they profess to be—workers in the Christian field—and not social para- sites of the lowest type, as charged by the Police Department, they will have been the victims of the strangest case of mistaken identity that has been un- earthed in criminal records here for many years. : But it is going to be no easy matter for them to prove their innocence, despite many circumstances that point in their favor. The story of Mrs. Nead's arrest and conviction on a charge of vagrancy, and her husband’s arrest on a similar charge when he appeared in court to ald his wite, was told in yesterday’s Call. A more serious charge against the woman was dismissed and sentence on the vag- raney allegation was postponed at the request of the Prosecuting Attorney of the court until to-day. After their rele: from custody Mr. and Mrs. Nead engaged the services of Attorney Frank V. Bell to extricate them from their predicament, and yesterday the lawyer was confident he would have no trouble whatever in securing the tri- umphant acquittal of his clients. ead and his wife could not be found at their appartments, 125 Turk street, yesterday, but Mr. Bell had no hesitancy in declaring that the couple were the vic- tims of a stupid blunder, or Wworse, on the part of Policeman Joy, and that he would endeavor to have the whole case reopened this morning, when he would subject the arresting officer to a rigid cre examination. “Joy claims the woman approached him one night in the Thalla eatre,” said Bell, “and made improper overtures to him. Byt he did not arrest her then and there, a8 he should have done. Instead, he | waited until last Wednesday evening, when she left her residence about 9 o'clock to go to a neighboring drug store for some medicine to alleviate a head- ache from which she was suffering. As She was returning home, and almost in front of her door, the officer placed her under arrest. “She is a prepossessing little woman, modest and retiring to a degree that amounts to diffidence. As for the charge against M. ad, it is absurd, for he can ohsily prove that he has been engaged in some business pursuit ever since he ar- rived in San Francisco. I have wired to several persons in the East to whom Nead has referred me and expect to get replies as to his character in time to pre- sent them to the court.” ‘Although Attorney Bell had not re- celved any answer to his telegrams last night, The Call received the following dis- pateh from Sioux City, which is anything but a certificate of ~good character to Nead and his wife, if the couple it refers to are the same as the two who _have fallen into the hands of the San Fran- cisco police: SIOUX_CITY, Ia., Oct. 2—J. M. or “Bil Nead, as he is more commonly nd his wife, Nellle Nead, 1l known charac- They ran for years = house and were frequently In ith the police. many crimes were committed , however, invariably ble to connect them direct- [V with any offense and, greatly to the annoyance of the authorities, they always escaped conviction. Many attempts were made to drive them from the city, but all failed until the winter of 1895, when one of the girls in_their house was shot and instantly killed by Willlam Royce, the son of eminently respectable parents in the city. Jealousy w the crime, and though really no part in_it, so was attracted by the circumstances to the character of their place that they deemed it advisable to leave the city and take up their residence in Covington, a village on the Nebraska bank of the Missouri River directly opposite Sloux City. They continued even then to interest themselves In Sioux City affairs, and were more than once suspected of acting as a “fence” for crooks on ‘this side of the river. Nead was indicted at least once by the Grand Jury here, but a strong enough case did not exist against him to warrant his extradition from another State. He was very careful about venturing within the jurisdiction of the lowa authorities and finally disappeared altogether. Until the news reached here of the couple’s ar- rest in San Francisco nothing had been heard of them for months. To the Sioux City police both husband and wife are known as the most trouble- some and dangerous characters who ever lived here. They were not without abil- ity in their line, however, and exerted a powerful influence with the criminal and semi-criminal population, were always able to employ the best of legal talent when in trouble, possessed considerable political influence and were never with- out friends to help them in time of diffi- culty or danger. 1 SEATTLE, Oct. 2.—Methodist and other miniters in_this city never heard of Evangelist Nead, and nothing is known of him. in Seattl known here, were for_a long time we ters in Stoux City. a notorio! trouble w Though proved impos as assigned as the cause of the Neads had much attention Democratic Plans.
