A stop had been made in front of a butcher-shop at Eighth and University avenues to de- liver some meat, when the horses took fright at a small boy driving a goat. Ma- caulay was out of the wagon, but as soon as his horses started he grabbed the lines and dragged a considerable distance in a fruitless effort to stop them.

Death from eating peanuts is the fate that overtook the babe of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Perry of Pleasanton yesterday. The child, who was only eighteen months old, w: seized with convulsions soon after eating the peanuts and died in its mother’'s arms before a doctor could be summoned to treat it. A peanut lodged in the infapt’s windpipe and strangled it to death. The accident occured on the ranch of the Perrys near Pleasanton. The mother ‘was temporarily absent from the room in which the babe had been playing, when she suddenly heard a gurgling sound. She hurried to the child and found it wrishing in agony on the floor. She picked the child up and administered for it, but the convulsions grew worse. She then sent for a physician, but by the time he arrived the child had expired. An examination of the child's, throat showed that a peanut had lodged in the windpipe and cut off respiration. It had eaten some peanuts that were lving on a table in the room where it had been play- ing. The failure of the child to remove the inner peel of the peanut is supposed windpipe. e TWO DOZEN SERGEANTS PASSED EXAMINATIONS Four of the Brawny Men.

BAYWARDS, April 4—Town Trustee Peter Crosby, who is chairman of the finance committee of the town board, has demanded an investigation of the ac- counts of Towa Clerk John Obermuller, and of Town Marshal W. J. Ramage, who are charged, among other duties, with that of tax, license and municipal fee col- lections. ~ Trustee Crosby intimates that Obermuller has been iax in turning over town funds. The. same situation con- fronts Ramage. But Obermulier defles the inquisitive trustee to find any shortage, and the town clerk retorts that all of this fuss is *'pol- ities.” He is a candidate for re-election on April 14 and is opposed by Willlam Zombresky. Obermuller declares that Crosby is against him. Croshy wants to know why Obermulier did not pay into the town treasury his collections on de.inquent taxes, etc., un- til March 29, when be had been collecting since last December. The trustee alsd asked why Marshal Ramage had not turned in $455 until that date when the morey had been collected as far back as Joanuary. Crosby likewise demanded to kriow whether Marshal Ramage had not held out $80 of bills against the town on account of work done by the E. B. & A. L. Stone Company because Ramage knew that the town clerk was in arrears. All this was brought to the attention of the trustees Wednesday night, the result being that a report will be made at a meeting Monday night. “This matter does not worry me a par- ticle,”” said Clerk Obermuller. *“My ac- counts with the town of Haywards are straight. 1 do not owe the town one cent. 1 admit that the money was not turned over as soon as it shouid, but I am per- fectly responsible for the coin, and the books are clear. There has been some tangle because I followed along the same lines as my predecessor. 1 had no one 1o advise me. The best 1 can say is that I am out of pocket on the delinquent tax collections.

Procures Arrest of Neighbo: for Alleged Attempt to Kill BERKELEY, April 4 —Henry Vogt, who lives on Acton street, near Virginia, was arrested this evening and taken to ..e County Jail on a charge of assault to commit murder. The complaint was sworn to before Justice Edgar by Hugh O’Neill, a neighbor of Vogt. v O’Neill alleges that Vogt shot at him with a shotgun this afternoon, the charge tearing up the {:ound within two feet of im. e says that his dog chased one of Vogt's chickens out of the O'Nelll yard, and that Vogt, seeing this, rushed into his house and reappeared with a gun, and shouting to O'Neill, w, 1 have you alone,” raised it and fifed. O'Neill de- clares Vogt shot to kill. Vogt has been in trouble before. About a year algo he was found guilty of bat- tery on P.

APPRENTICE BOY IS NOT ENTITLED TO TOOL-BOXES Justice of the Peace Daniels Decides Possession Is Vested in Union Iron Works. Justice of the Peace Daniels gave judg- ment yesterday in favor of the Union Iron Works, which was sued by Oscar R. Thayer, a minor, for $45. The action was brought to recover possession of two tool-boxes valued at $3350, and levels and miscellaneous tools’ of the value of $105. In his opinion Justice Daniels says: As the defendant offered to return the tools, which offer was refused by Thayer unless the tool-boxes were also returned, it is necessary to consider only plaintift's ciaim to the tool bexes The evidence shows that the tool-boxes in question were made by two apprentices, Don- aldson and Williams, of material belonging to ihe defendant, the Union Iron Works. and during hours that Donaldson and ms W were paid to devote to the service of the cor- | peration. As the material and time occupied in the manufacture of the boxes belonged to the Urion Iron Works, the conclusion must follow that the boxes on completion were the prop- erty of the defendant. No doubt Thayer, the plaintiff, purchased the tool-boxes in goed, faith from Donaldson and Williams, but as the apprentices never ac- quired any title other than that which m possession _cont upon them, Thayer claim to the boxes must. fail on the assump- tion of ownership by the rightful owner, the Tnion Iron Works. “That no one can transfer to another a bet- ter title than he himself has, is a maxim,” says Chancellor Kent, “‘allke of the common and the civil law. BEISEL PLAYS SHARP TRICK ON TWO MEN Has Patrick Brady and Nicholas Staf- ford Arrested Instead of Himself. After being four weeks in the City Pris- on charged with an offense he never com- mitted, Patrick Brady was acquitted by Judge Mogan yesterday, and the police are to search for the man who was his accuser and the real culprit. Brady and Nicholas Stafford were ar- rested on March 10 in front of a lodging- house at 328 Third street on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon on com- laint of August Beisel, who lived in the Jodging.house. Stafford was able to give bonds, but Brady had to remain in prison. Each time the case was called Beisel failed to appear and the police have been unable to lrnd him. Yesterday it devel- oped that Brady saw Beisel on the night in question on the sidewalk with an ax in his hand trying to strike Thomas Cole- man. Brady interfered and Beisel knocked him down by a blow with the ax. Just then Stafford came along and took the ax from Beisel, warning him not to strike Brady again. Beisel com- plained to the police. is story was be- lieved and Brady and Stafford were ar- rested. Coleman was also. arrested for battery upon a woman, but the case was dismissed several days ago. NICHOLAS ERNSER DIES AT HOME VERY SUDDENLY Nicholas Ernser, a bartender in the Golden Bell saloon at 1079 Market street, Gied suddenly yesterday afternoon at his residence, 223% Natoma street, presum- ably from poisoning. He came home at noon and told his wife that he was not feeling well. Then he lay on the bed, and when his wife re- turned to the room after a few moments’ absence she found him unconscious. She | ran in haste for a near-by physician, but | Ernser had died before they returned. On a table near the bed were a glass of miik, a glass of water and a vial contain- ing two teaspoonfuls of an anodyne, an overdose of which is sufficient to produce death. Ernser was a native of Sweden, | 47 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. An inquest will be held. — DINGEE BUYS CORNER FOR ABOUT 8$300,000 ‘William J.

IRELAND WINS BIG LAND SUIT Minnesota’s High Court Decides in the Arch- bishop's Favor. Claims Title to Fifty Thousand Acres of Valuable Land Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. PAUL, April 4—The Supreme Court to-day made Archbishop Ireland richer by $200,000., Ten years ago the Great North- ern selected certain public lands in Min~ nesota under a land grant from the Gov- ernment as a bonus for the road. Short- ly thereafter Ireland bought 50,000 acres of this land at §4 an acre. He induced many to settle on the land and sold it to them at a nominal figure, promising to return the money if the titie, which was in doubt, should revert to the Govern- ment. Other settlers located on a portion | of this land, and when it was sought to ejéct them a test case was brought in the courts to determine the title. It appears that the railroad never obtained deeds to this land from the Government, and so the title and right of Ireland was ques- ticned. The Supreme Court to-day held that the | absence of the perfected title was purely technical and that Archbishop Ireland has the right to sell the land in question. Pro- ceedings of ejectment will now be com- menced against the squatter settlers. ROOSEVELT'S TRIBUTE TO EPWARD EVERETT HAL®E | President Says Nice Things About the Author of “The Man With- out a Country.” | BOSTON, April 4—In a letter sent to Senator George F.

Dr. Edward Everett Hale in this city last evening, President Roose- velt said: My Dear Senator Hoar: 1 very earnestly wish I could be at the meeting over which you are to preside in honor of the eightieth birth- day of Edward Everett Hale. A classical allu- sion of comparison is always very trite, but I | suppose all of us who have read the simpler | classical books think ot Timoleon in his days | at Syracuse, loved and honored dn his old age by the fellow-citizens in whose service heé had spent the strength of his best years, as one of the noblest and most attractive figures in all history. Dr. Hale is just such a figure now. We love him and we revere him. We are prouder of our citizenship because he is our fellow-citizen, and we feel that his life and his writings both alike spur us steadily to fresh effort toward high thinking and right living. To have writ- ten “The Man Without a Country” by itself would be quite enough to make ail the nation his debtor.
