Stenzel was to-day held to answer for having ob- tained goods by false pretenses from J. Dalporte, 4 bean grower in the Sacra- | mento River district. It developed during the examination that Stenzel visited Dal | porte at his ranch, and representing him- | self as the agent of Crane & Co., a San Francisco commission firm, induced Dal- porte to deliver to him his ‘crop of beans, valued at upward of $2000. Stenzel shipped the beans to San Francisco, sold them, and it is supposed “blew in" the proceeds on_the races. Stenzel was regarded locally as some- thing of a protege of ““Boss” | 1y of San Francisco, and the latter was gresent at his arraignment. Stenzel once acked James J. Corbett, the pugilist. He will have to stand trial before a Sacra- mento jury for defrauding Dalporte. | ENDS LIFE BY HANGING HIMSELF TO A RAFTER Body of an Unknown Suicide Found in a Barn on a Sonoma Ranch.

Feb. 6—The | announcement was made | to-day of the appointment by the President of George Schmidt as Postmaster at Berkeley. and with this announce- ment ends one of the big political contests that have been waging in the little college town. The position of Postmaster of Berkeley is particularly desirable, for the salary is good compared with the amount of responsibility involved. In this respect It more desirable than the Oakland postoffice. This is due to the fact that the University of California | makes large purchases of postage stamps, and this keeps the Berke- ley postoffice in a higher class than the population of the town would otherw warrant The. struggle for this position is always a determined one in Berke- ley, and in this case there were five candidates—George Schmidt, A. K. Weir, J. M. Pierce, Pgilo Mills and John M. Fox. Schmidt | secured the support of Congress- | man Victor H. Metcalf, and this gave him the coveted appointment. | George Schmidt 1s a real estate { dealer, and has always | | prominent factor in Berkeley poli- | | tics.

Application was made to-day to the District Attorney by Gee Nom, the Chi- | ese lottery king, for the arrest of Police- | man Albe lay, who Is accused of having the Chinaman thi | afternoon, breaking into his shop on Seventh street, near Broadway. Th accusing Chinaman claims that Policeman | Tho! Pardee was with McKinlay ing the affray.

Nom was in his shop nurs- ing a “caulifiower” ear and holding a pis- tol from which he had fired a shot into | the floor of his place. he said. to frighten { away the two policemen. McKinlay and | Pardee did not respond to the whistle's | blowing. but slipped into an adjeining blacksmith shop until the hubbub quieted. Then both men hurried to the City Hall, closely followed by Nom, who went, in company with'his attorn to_the Police | Court, where he demanded McKinlay's ar- rest. { 'The trouble. so the Chinaman claims, arose from the demand of McKinlay that | Nom pay him $11 50, being a portion of the costs of court In a recent suit brought | By Nom against the policeman. Nom sued | for damages, claiming that he had several ribs broken by McKinlay. who had raided his place in company with Pardee. The Chinaman lost the case and the costs were adjudged against him. Nom says he was sitting in his shop this afternoon when McKinlay, opening a locked door with a skeleton key, entered with Pardee and demanded the costs. The Chinaman_referred the policeman to his ¢attorney, T. F. Garrity. | " “Then McKinlay,” said Nom to Deputy District Attorney Samuels, “called me a bad name and punched me twice on the ear. My Chinaman, who saw the assault, ran out into the street. blowing a police whistle, and as the policemen left I firea a shot into the floor to make a noise and get policemen there to protect me. Patrolman Frank Lynch responded to the whistling and took the pistol, which Nom turned over to him. b McKinlay admits that he and Pardee were_at the place, but they declare that Nom's story of the assault is a fabrica- tion. According to McKinlay, he and Par- | dee ‘were pa standing in the doorway and made a de- mand for the costs. In law the costs stand as a judgment against the China- man and his property is subject to a levy by due process.
