BUTCHER IS LYING NEAR TO DEATH AFTER TERRIB cape After They Have AKLAND, May 18.—Jacob A. Bills, a butcher residing at 1174 East Fifteenth street, and Charles Kemp were set upon by four liq- uor-crazed thugs at 11 o'clock last night in front of Bills’ shop, 1218 Twenty- third avenue, and Bills was beaten into insensibility, his condition to-day being such that the threc attending physicians are not ready to give an opinion as to the resuit of the patient's injuries. Al- though hours have passed since the at- tack, Bills has not regained consclous- ness and the symptoms 1t toward a serious fracture of the skuil at the base of the brain. Kemp escaped with a badiy bruised face a8 a tesult of the encounter, which was, according to Kemp, a brutal, unprovoked assauit. Luther Davidson, a ship carpenter, who has been identified by Kemp as one of the attacking quartet, is in custody. A complaint charging Davidson with battery on hemp has been filed, but the prisoner will be held without bail pending devel- opments in Bills' condition. ———e o 1 I i \ | et Miss Emily Ross, residing at %1 Wood street, and M Eva Hall, a sister of Bills, 'had been visiting with Kemp at the butcher's residence last evening.

Spectal Dispatch to The Cail SAN DIEGO, May-18.—A special dis- patch from Ensenada tells of the close of the ten days of fiesta in celebration of the Mexican victory of the Pueblo, when the power of Maximilian was over- thrown. The fiesta ended in a tragedy, in which Cajetano Sandez lost his life and Juan Valasco was wounded. The dispatch says that at half-past 1 o'clock in the morning, on the 15th, some brawling Indians who were in town from Guadaloupe, where a monte game was going on, began shooting, apparently to get Policeman Sandez to come out. He soon appeared, and was shot through the body by an Indlan called Francisco Al- dama, who has not been caught. A cus- tom-house guard reports having met him in Guadaloupe, where the Indian drew a gun on him, thinking he was a mounted policeman. During the shooting on the 15th an In- dian called Juan Valasco was shot in the leg and was discovered lying ir the street at daybreak and taken to jail. Po- liceman Sandez died within twenty-four hours after he was shot, and was buried on Saturday. The monte game, which was open for ten days, closed about $2000 to the good. — e Eulogizes Emerson. The Unitarian Club of California met last night at the rooms of the Merchants’ Club when the members paid honor in speech and eulogy to Ralph Waldo Emer- son, the centenary of whose birth they had gathered to celebrate.

T.,, May 18.—~With the death last night at the residence of John- ny Devine of *‘Old Caribou Brown" there passed away one of the most picturesque characters in all the frontier history of the great Southwest. Henry F. Brown, famed in sporting cir- cles of the Southwest under the sobriquet of “Caribou Brown,” was for a quarter of a century one of the most notable fig- ures in the gambling circles of this sec- tion of the country. Six feet four inches tall, of magnificent physique, with the reputation of “being afrald of neither man nor devil,” he early won the worship of his fellow gamesters and was a mark of admiration among all frontier classes. He died at the age of §7. “Caribou Brown” was a native of Coun- ty Limerick, Ireland, and in his early manhood followed the sea as captain of a merchantman. Brown for a quarter of a century made his various homes in Tucson, Tombstone, Prescott, Wicken- burg and Phoenix. He made and lost a dozen fortunes over the gambling table, but throughout his checkered career he maintained the name of being honest, ———— ' Takes Case Under Advisement. Judge John R. Danlels has taken un- der advisement the case of A. Hoppe, the livery stablekeeper, who began suit last week against Dr. Sanford Blum and Frank Hartigan, manager of the Mobjle Com- pany of America, for damages to the horse and buggy which was rented by the plaintiff to Dr. Blum and which was prac- tically demolished by coming in contact with the mobile on February 16 at the corner of Fulton and Broderick streets while Hartigan was acting as chauffeur. Some twelVh witnesses gave testimony and the depositions of two others were read. The accounts were all more or less conflicting, but they all agreed upen one point and that was to the effect that just before the collision took place a cov- ered wagon helped to obtct;ra the view of all parties to the accident. The plaintiff claims 3250 damages to his horse and $49 damages to his buggy. i FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY LE BEATING BY THUGS Jacob A.

Later Dr. Wilcox and Dr. Shannon were summoned. It was a heavy blow on the chin tnat felled Bills. In falling the back of his head struck on the cement pavement and he lay there like a log. At intervals to- day Bills showed slight signs of mental clearing, but there was little to encourage the attending surgeons. The police are trying to locate the three men who fled last night. DEATH SUMMONG AGED PIONEER Captain Daniel Martin Succumbs to Para- lytic Stroke. —_—— Oakland Office San Francisco Call. | 1118 Broadway, May 13. Captain Daniel E. Martin, 86 years old, a pioneer shipmaster and capitalist, died this morning at his residehce, 1323 Har- rison street, from paralysis. Three years ago Captaln Martin suffered the first stroke that enfeebled him, and three months ago the second and fatal attack seized him. Years ago the departed pioneer was a prominent figure in banking and other corporation affairs. He was a native of Michigan, born July 4, 1817. Following the sea, Captain Martin was master of some of the famous Atlantic clippers. He came around Cape Horn, arriving in California in 1849. Abandoning the sea he engaged in mercantlle pursuits and amassed a competency. In 1§78 Captain Martin came to Oak- land and became prominent in the Oak- land Gas, Light and Heat Company, serv- ing as vice president and later for three president of that corporation. also a director of the S8an Fran- clsco Savings Union for several years. Failing health compelled the aged plo- neer to relinquish active effort, and he retired. A wife, who was Mrs. E. Mitch- eler, survives. The funeral will be pri- vate. —— The Overdue Li After a long rest local reinsurance spec- ulators were vesterday given a board full of overdue ships on which to figure and gamble at rates running from 10 to 35 per cent.

Thomas Post have gone down in their own pockets and pro- duced $3000 to keep ‘“‘open house” for a week at Steinway Hall. The money is raised and if $2000 more is required it will be raised among themselves. Lincoln Pos is raising $2000 to welcome visitors at Pi- | oneer Hall. Posts of the San Joaquin, Santa Clara and Sacramento valleys will consolidate and maintain special head- quarters for each one of these leading val- leys. The Southern California posts, rep- resenting Los Angel San Diego, Pasa- dena, Riverside, Redlands, Santa Barbara and San Bernardino, will not be wanting in enterprise. The general body of eciti- zens in San Francisco, Oakland and sur- rounding cities will not be called on for a dollar in behalf of any local or consoli- dated post, but the flnance committee of the general committee of management, Thirty-seventh National Encampment, will wait upon leading merchants, bank- ers, professional men and others with proper requests for contributions to the main reception fund to supplement the al- lowance made by the Sjate Legislature. There will be a joint meeting of the finance committee and the general com- mittee of management at the headquar- ters of the Promotion Committee on New Montgomery street next Friday evening. ——————— ' NEW MINING EXCHANGE IS NOW SELLING STOCK Shares in Tonopah Mines Make Up the Bulk of the Transactions of Opening Day.
