NEW YORK, July 14.—You could have walked up and down town to-day after the arrival of “Scotty” and not have found the streets strewn with $1000 bills or gold pieces or even nickels and dimes. It was a bitter disappointment to some Who expected to pick up money. Walter Scott, a young California miner, has taken $141,000 out of a mine in Death Val- ley in the last year and a half and has spent nearly all Julian M. Gerard, vice president of the Knickerbocker Trust Cqmpany, once “‘grubstaked” Scott for $4000. Now that the mine has panned out rich Gerard comes In for & half ownership and to a division of the profits. Scotty has not given Gerard a chance to help spend any of the fabulous autput yet. Gerard took him aside to-night and gave him a little plece of his mind. And there were peo- ple about town who satd that Scotty had been summoned from Califoxpia to ex- plain. He and his yellow dog arrived over the New York Central at 9:30 this morning on the Twentieth Century Lim- ited. One thousand people were at the Grand Central station when he and the dog hopped oft the train. The police pushea the crowd back and Scotty In an electric hansom went to the Putnam House. If anybody thought he could give the Death Valley Croesus points about New York he was very much mistaken. For twe years Scotty rode In the cow punching outfit in Buffalo Bill's show and he is well known along the Big White Way. Scotty drew up to the Putnam House bar and exhibited his spending powers by buying for about a dozen acquaintances. The miner drew out a wad of yellow backs and pald. Then he pocketed 25 cents change. Finally he engaged a $ a day room at the Herald Square Hotel. ‘I'm going to Wall street to see a friend,” heé exclaimed, and climbed_ into his hansom. His appearance was enough to attract attention, for he wore a rough suit, a soft blue flannel shirt, a flaming red tie and a wide-brimmed black felt hat. All Wall street stopped work to take a look. The curb market was swamped by the crowd. Scotty fled into the Stock Exchange. A messenger boy brought three tickets to the gallery and the miner gave him $5. The brokers shouted as they saw Scotty. In acknowl- edgment Scotty gave a wild whoop and threw his hat among them. There was such a crowd that he had to leave by the side entrance and run for his hansom. In the afternoon he held a levee at the hotel. First he led the reporters upstairs, ordered four quarts of whisky and made a speech, saying: “Now, you fellows have heard a lot about the way I spend money. I like to spend my money, but I doa’t like to give it away. They thought I was going to throw away ten dollar bills down in Wall street. I always want to get the worth of my money. I struck Los Angeles one | time without money enough to get a| hunk of bacon. People gave me the icy shoulder. ‘Well,’ I says, ‘all right.” So, when 1 struck it rich and was down at | Los Angeles with some of it later, with suites of rooms at three hotels, high muck-a-mucks came around to make friends The yellow dog was there that day. They were chasing him with rocks. I paid a doliar and got the dog just to show the Los Angeles people that a yel- low cur could be better than they were. I took him up to the hotel and bathed him and I fed him milk out of a silver pail.” PR SAY MINE IS A MYTH. Riverside Men Cast Doubt on Scott's Death Valley Bonanzn. RIVERSIDE, July 14—Walter Scott, the man of mystery from Death Valley, is known to a number of Riverside people and has been here several times. His last visit to this city was two years ago, when he remained for a fortnight,.living quietly in a private boarding-house. Scott at that time tould not refrain from a few spectacular demonstrations. He came into town one day with his wife and a big bag girt about with chains and sealed with a couple of padlocks. This bag weighed over 100 pounds and when Scott marched up Main street with the bag on his back the spectacle aroused not a little interest and speculation. Scott marched straight into Chris Franzen's hardware store and threw the bag.on the floor. “Hello; I want to leave this stuff here,” was Scott’s introduction. “That's all right if it isn’t dynamite,” ‘was the reply. . “It took dynamite to get it,” was all that Scott at that time vouchsafed. The peculiar looking bag remained in an obscure corner for several days. Then Scott came in and told the hardware man that the bag contained gold. He then opened the bag and showed a quantity of amalgam in exactly the condition that it had been when it was scraped from the plates in the mill. “There’s $12,000 in there,” declared Scott. Having taken Franzen into his confidence Scott next carried the sack down to the First Natfonal Bank. It was placed in a vault and a receipt given for it.- Scott took a fancy to Cashier Castleman and told him a good deal about his Death Valley mines. According to Scott’s tales he made up a pack train at Barstow, several mules and burros being required. Water had to be carried for ten days and Scott declared that nobody but himself and two or three trusted employes knew the way. WRluded in the cavalcade were a couple of pigeons, two bobcats, a rattlesnake and a shepherd dog, all making a family as happy as 1t ‘was unique. According to Scott a cordon of armed men surrounded the camp and no stranger was ever allowed to set foot in the mystic mine. . Bcott spent money freely here, but not lavishly. Once he entered his wife's room " United States Circuit Court against the LEAD FLIES * INFURIOLS MACE ROT Negroes and Whites Indulge in Bloody Battle in No-| torious “San Juan Hill”| District of New York| POLICE ARE FORCED. TO BEAT RETREAT Revolvers Are Freely Used and Many Chimneys Are Torn Down by Mob Who TUse Bricks as Ammunition NEW YORK, ' July 14—“San Juan Hill,” the district bounded by Amster- dam and West End avenue and Sixty- first and Sixty-third streets, so called because of {ts notoriety as a battle- ground, was the scene to-night of a furious race riot” which reauired 250 policemen to quell, after many shots had been fired and several persons had been seriously injured. The trouble began shortly after 9 o'clock when a policeman arrested Ed- ward Connelly for attacking Henry ‘Williams, a negro, and was pursued to the station-house by a mob of Connel- ly’s friends, hurling showers of stones and other missiles. When the station- house reserves turned out the whole neighborhood was in an uproar and whites and blacks engaged im"a des- perate struggle. Torrents of missiles were hurled from roofs and windows. ‘Within ten minutes not less than 1000 men, women and boys, black and white, were engaged in a furious combat. The small party of police were powerless and reinforcements were .summoned. On their arrival a cordon was drawn around the whole district and strong patrols made repgated charges down the streets in a vain effort to restore order. They succeeded in making a few prisoner® and were forced to re- treat, fighting every inch of the way and pursued to the station-house by a howling mob. The worst of the fighting was on Sixty-second street, where from every window and roof rained missiles, while hundreds of shots were fired. Rounds- man Patrick Walsh was knocked down by Jesse Smith, a negro, who leaped upon him, and after attempting to shoot him, struck him repeatedly with the butt of his revolver. Walsh was finally rescued by his comrades. Inspector McLaughlin arrived shortly before 9 o'clock and realizing how widespread was the danger, sent hurry calls for reserves from as far north as One Hundred -1 Twenty-fifth street and as far south as Leonard street, from the East Side and from the West Side. In all there were more than 250 men under command of the inspector within twenty minutes. Squads of men were sent along the roofs of the houses on Sixty-second street, where the fighting seemed heav- iest. They walked from West End ave- nue to Amsterdam, clearing the roofs and found that many chimneys had been torn to pieces to furnish ammuni- tion. More arrests were made and sev- eral whites and negroes were rescued from gangs of assailants, but desul- tory combats continued. Inspector McLaughlin and - Captain Gallagher, while passing through the mobs, res- cued Michael Jacoby, a white man, who was being beaten by two negroes. The rioting spread to Fifty-seventh street and to Sixty-eighth street, al- though the hardest battles were fought between Sixty-first and Sixty-third streets. For more than half an hour cars on the Amsterdam avenue line were' blocked. Colored men pursued by whites took refuge on cars as they passed and were followed by showers of bricks and stones as they fled. Every window in many cars were broken and passengers took shelter in neighboring houses. Conductors and motormen hid under seats, leaving the cars to the mercy of the mob. Commissioner McAdoo arrived at 11 o’clock and made a tour of the battle- field, the fighting by that time having ceased. He said the riot could not have taken place had not the rougher element been permitted to carry arms. They appeared to have a regular ar- senal of weapons. In all seven whites and two negroes had their injuries attended - to, but scores of others less seriously hurt| were taken to their homes by friends. Five whites and six negroes, among them women, were arrested. A picked body of thirty policemen were detailed to occupy the disturbed region during the night.

Grant, U. 8. A., in com- mand of the Department of the East, at Governors Island, New York, did not visit the Massachusetts militia in camp at Westfield this year, because the invi- tation he expected was not sent. General Grant's friends say that General Nelson A. Miles, adjutant general of the Massa- chusetts militia, wanted all the attention himself, so General Grant was not In- vited to visit the camp. A few weeks ago Judge Ralph M. Grant of this city and Frank Grant of West- fleld, members of the committee arrang- ing for the Grant family reunion, whkich is to be held at Windsor in October, went to New York to ask General Graut to deliver an address at the reunion. Gen- eral Grant consented. During the visit Frank Grant asked him if he was going to visit the Massachusetts militia in camp at Westfleld this year. General Grant sald he would attend, providing he received an invitation, as he deemed it a part of his duty, being head of the De- partment of the East, to visit the State military encampments, when Invited. When Frank Grant returned from New York he told some men high up in Massa- chusetts military circtes that General Grant would visit the militia in camp if he received an invitation, and Mr. Grant was assured that the invitation wou'd be ARE PIQUED | !

At present there are forty farm houses on the tract, which, Mr. Darlington says, can be fitted up at com- paratively little expense to accommodate more than 400 patients within a month or two after the city obtains title to the property. Dr. Darlington appeared before the board and announced that he had ob- talned options on this land and that he bhad “tramped about’” the entire track within the last week and considered it an ideal spot for a hospital of this sort He sald it was situated at the top of Shwangung Mountain, and was more than 1200 feet above the level of the sea. Continuing, he sald it would make the finest institution for the treatment of tu- bercular disease controlled by any city in the world, and that he desired to obtain the appropriation at once in order to buy the property before the opposition on the part of other property owners be- came too strong. He pointed out that there were more than 25,000 consumptives in New York City to-day and added that none but “curables” would be sent to this sent by Governor Douglas or General | Miles.
