His life’s career was an eventful and varied one. In 1847 Green, then in the prime of a vigorous manhood, left Ohio, his native [ State, and with a party of companions started for the gold fields of (alifornia, by way of Panama. After arriving on the Pacific side of the isthmus the hardy band of argonauts secured a small schooner and sailed north, with S8an Fran- eisco Bay as their destination. Somewhere on the southern coast, supposed to be near S8an Luls Bay, the little vessel of the venturous treasure-seekers was driven ashore in a tetrrific southeaster and wrecked. All of those on board reached land more dead than alive, but their en- tire stock of pravisions and supplies was jost. ‘With staryation upon them they struck inland and northward, determined to foot it to Yerba Buena, as San Francisco was then called. For days the party subsisted upon roots, acorns and, as Captain Green often re- lated, even ate rattlesnakes to appease thelr hunger. The reptiles were plentiful and were prepared for consumption much after the manner that eels are cooked. It was early in 1848 that Green and his half-famished comrades reached Yerba Buena. He remained there a short time and then went to Sonora, where, in part- nersh‘[{) with E. C. Holden, he opened the City Hotel, one of the famous caravansa- rieg of early days, and which still stands in the old mining town. In the early sey- enties Captain Green returned to San Francisco and engaged in the grain and commission business. He located in 1 on Bay Farm Island, on what is now the | Swett ranch, Later he hought the Briggs property on Central avenue, which after- ward passed into the hands of Willlam J. Dingee and subsequently became the home of Mrs. Jack Hays. | Captain Green was a member of the | Town Trustees in 1877. For a_number of | years he was the master of the bay | steamer Amador. He retired from active lite over a decade ago. For the past three vyears his health was feeble, Deceased leaves a wife, Mrs. Laura and three chiliren—Mrs. Addie Frank M.

Must Serve Fifteen Years' Imprisonment for Passing Forged Checks. A A ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12—In the TUnited States District Court to-day Ben Kilpat- rick, the Montana train robber suspect, was sentenced by Judge Adams to fifteen years .in the State penitentiary at Jeffer- son City, Mo. The sentence followed a jury verdict | finding the prisoner guilty on one of the geventeen counts in the indictment against him. Laura Bullion, indicted jointly with Kil- patrick, was also found guilty on ome count, but was not sentenced. Judge Adams announced that he did not wish to send the two prisoners to the tence on the woman until he ascertained whether it was within his jurisdiction to | send her to some penitentiary outside Mis- sourd, | When the jury had been selected it was announced that Kilpatrick confessed that he was guilty as charged in the twelfth count of the indictment of passing bank notes issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, which had been altered, upon Max Barnett in the city of St. Louls. He also announced that Miss Bullion pleaded guilty® as charged in the thir- | teenth count of the indictment of having in her possession altered bank notes. Thereupon the court ordered the jury to retire. It required less than fifteen min- | utes for the jury to agree upon a verdict finding both defendants xullg'. Kilpatrick and the Bullion woman were j arrested in this city more than a month | ago on suspicion that they had some- | thing to do with the hold-un of the Great Northern train near Wagner, Mont., last July, when between $80.000 and $100,000 of unsigned Helena National Bank notes were stolen from the express car.

The troubles existing between Rev. Wil- liam Maxwell Reilly, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and Alfred C. Rulof- son, one of the vestrymen, for several months past are to be officially investi- gated by the Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, Bishop of the diocese of Cali- fornia. The trouble had its origin in the re- fusal of Rev. Mr. Reilly to Rulofson as junior-warden after his elec- tion to that office by the vestrymen to succeed Dr. James M. Gassaway. Rev. Reilly claimed Rulofson had not been elected by a majority of the vestrymen, but that is the only reason he assigns for his_opposition to Rulofson. When seen last night he declined to discuss the af- fair. Fin NOTICE TO PATRONS.
