The representatives of the heirs of this rich miner who was murdered seven years ago are determined to locate the Government bonds‘he was known to possess, to find out whether the draft for $100,000 on the Bank of £ngland has ever been cashed and to discover the exact whereabouts of the Arizona and New Mexico mines. Letters were yesterday sent broad- coast in the hope of finding some, at least, of the great fortune. was directed to the Bank of England and was an inquiry as to the $100,000 draft. Another was hastened to the Department of the Treasury in an ef- fort to find out the numbers of the $80,000 worth of bonds Stinson pur: chased with the profits of his mining venture in Butte. The Recorders of perhaps 200 counties of Arizona, New Mexico and California were asked to search the records for the filing of Stin- son’s claims and the titles to his prop- erty. According to the statements of those who knew Stinson best up to the time of his disappearance, his wealth in bonds and drafts was about $200,000. With his mines and stock in other properties added the total value of his fortune must have been nearly $1,000,000. S. P. Young, who was manager of the California Loan and Trust Company and the financial adviser of the murdered miner, places the valuation of the prop- erty at somewhere near this figure. He says that to the best of his memory the bonds were issued flul‘ll’lg the "70’s. He says that Stinson had vast copper interests in the Chloride district of Ari- zona, which are of untold value. Five old friends of Stinson’have nDW identified the picture of the dead man whose body was found in Stow Lake on September 6, 1898, and published in The Call of the next morning _as that of John Stinson. These men are 8. P: Young, Stinson’'s financial adviser; Dr. John Healy, an intimate friend; John McMahon, a companion .in- many min- ing ventures; Robert Fuller, also an old friend in the mines, and - John At- tinger, a tallor, who -was acquainted with Stinson for many years. . These five men all agree in the theory that Stinson was induced to take his propL erty out of the safety deposit -box and was then lured Into the tros fihlch cost him his life.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY WITH TONGUE IN JAW POLICENA Pretends to Have Toothache and Detects Sympathetic Matron Buspecting that Mrs. McKeever and her son, Edward, were violating the liquor license ordinance in their little grocery on the first block of Freelon street, Patrolman Doyle decided to dis- guise himself and Investigate. To sub- stitute plain apparel for his uniform was easy, but to alter a face that was familiar to the nelghborhood he found difficult, Inasmuch as he was not adept in the art of make-up. Finally he re- solved to simulate toothache and trust to fate. With his tongue pressing the interfor of one of his cheeks and thus making e -+ the exterior abnormally convex he ap- proached the counter behind which Mrs. McKeever presided and her symvpathetic glance at his protruding jaw satisfled him that ghe was beguiled. He mum- bled something about desiring to be speedily served wigh 10 cents’ worth of | whisky, one loat of bread and one bot- tle of beer, and with a kindness almost maternal she asked him if his face was painful to feel as well as to look upon. He nodded an affirmative and growled ! request that she supply him with the whisky quickly, as he heeded it to pal- liate the agony that racked his head. “And a better thing you couldn't take,” Mrs. McKeever said as she bustled to furnish him with the fire- water. ‘I have always used whisky to relieve toothache in my family, and how we could get along without ft— the whisky, I meah—I'm sure I don't know."” The liquor was-sold in a small bot- tle, the money paid, the arrest ef- fected. What the lady said when she was disillusioned Police Judge Cabaniss, before whom she and her son were Jjointly arraigned, did not learn. It suf- ficed for him to have the charge stated and to give attentive hearing to the energetic young attorney who en- deavored to disprove it. The defensive plea was advanced that the prosecution had falled to clearly establish the quality of the liquild in question, and nelther Assistant District Attorney Rogers nor Patrolman DoyYe would consent to meet that plea. by subjecting the contents of the vial to test by taste and thus decide whether or not it was really whisky. The Judge, after reminding the defense that he had a family to provide for, also de- clined to sip the material evidence. “Then.” thundered the able young ad- vocate, “I move for dismissal of this case on the ground that the testimony is insufficient to warrant any other or- der.” There was no sign of accession from the bench and the attorney t med =afl and started on another tac 'his young man,” he said, alluding to the male defendant, “has always borne an unmarred reputation for honesty, truth and veracity.” “So did Judas and Benediet Arnold prior to their respective falls by the wayside,” responded his Honor, “but !‘ll make the fine only $10.” It was paid on the spot. . s Israel Peyser declared he did not know he was' violating an -ordinance when he hitched his horse to & munici- pal lamp post, but Patrolman P. Whalen proved himself profoundly versed in law by arresting Mr. Peyser and quot- ing the chapter and section of the char- ter which authorized him to make the arrest. The defendant’s plea of igno- rance, howevet, won out before Judge Ehor!sll e ie On the churge of having stolen twenty- six morning newspapers from as many doorsteps on Market: street. where they were deposited by carriers, Robert Flynn, a young fisherman, 1s on Judge Shortall's’| calendar. The usual penalty for ' steal- ing one mnewspaper is thirty days’ im- prisonment, and. it Master Flynn is sen- tenced to that tefm for each of hi leged ' pliferings he—but to antlelpnte ‘might be dlstane{ul to Master Flynn. Judge Sh%r(ull'l embhuueally voiced opinfon that Captain Richard of the Brit- ish ship Andora might be a more des'ra- ble skipper to serve was based upon that mariner's show. of tyrannous temper in court.. John Griffith, rated a. 'b.on the Ando- ra’'s books, was arrested for having ma- licicusly ‘smashed ‘a . wash basin in the saloon of Meyer & Eirston Market cnd Steuart streets, and when arraigned he Ydeclared willingness to pay for the breakage if his captain’ would 1t him draw the sum necessary from the two years' back pay due him. This, however, the captain resolutely refused to do, even when the sailor's request was backed by that of the British Consul, ‘Why don’t you allow the man to uso ‘his own money to save himself from go-- ing to jall?” the Judge asked tha dkip- per. ‘Because,” was the ntvlur “delivered in nettled tone, “if I'd let him have the money he'd desert my ship. Tl let him have $10 and not a cent more.” - “But yot owe him & graat deal -m." his Honor remarked. - Whisky and Is Promptly Arrested. BY JAMES C. { to save himself from committal on the N LURES. Lawbreaker. Sells to Him Alleged CRAWFORD. the Judge ascertained that the owner of the. Andora will be here on February 21 and in supreme command of the vessel he continued the case until that date and allowed the defendant to go on his own | recognizance. - Captain Richard is short of stature and wiry of frame, and if his complexion were less swarthy he would be qualified to pose as a counterpart of Cutcliffe Hynes’ famous little seadog, Captain Kettle. Nathan Marcuse, with a face resem- bling that of the-late Sir Henry Irving and ‘the sturdy limbs and torso of an | acrobat, pleaded guilty to petty larceny | more sericus charge of burglary. “I am a graduate of Har-vard,” he said to Judge Cabaniss, “ahd took me degree.” *I am inclined to believe the latter half of your statement,” responded his Hon- or, ‘“for the testimony adduced here tends to show that you would take any- thing that is portable. And university degrees are. neither nailed down nor dif- ficult to conceal on the person.” It was for stealing a valise and a suit of clothes from Albert McCleavy’s apart- ment in the Ashworth House, 320 Mason street, that Mr. Marcuse was taken in. He pawned his plunder and Detective O'Dea recovered it. . Mrs. Catherine Costello was abed in her home, 1216 Lombard street, at 11:30 o'clock p. m., when her son James en- tered the apartment she occupied and created unnecessary nolse while he lighted a lamp. “Turn down that light,” she sald drowsily. “If it's trouble yer wantin’,”” was the youth's unexpected and decidedly disre- pectful retort, “I'll give ye all ve want. T'll chuck th' lamp at ye an’ give th’ noospapers somethin’ to write about.” Additional unfilial behavior led to his arrest for peace disturbance, and while the case was being heard by Judge Ca- baniss & number, of witnesses, in which the gentler sex dominated, simultaneously and loudly Indulged in crimination and lrecriminallon until his Honor thundered: “Stop! “Enough unclean domestic linen has already been aired by you in this court to keep a fully equipped steam laundry in operation day and night for twelve months!" The ensuing silence was broken by the | issuance of an order of continuance for | one month. . A C. Bradbury, whose greyhounds are among the fleetest that skim the sward at Ingleside, was airing his kennel when one of its most valued members dashed at a chicken Dbelonging to Robert Lee, who retails alcoholic liquors in the viei- nage of the coursing park. As it was not the first time that his poultry had been utilized as quarry by long-legged canines in process of ventilation, Mr. Lee armed himself with a.shovel and pursued the pursuer of his affrighted pullet, and fearful that his prized quad- ruped would be seriously. injured If struck with the implément in the hands. of the infuriated saloonist, Mr. Bradbury chased the man that was chasing the dog | that was chasing the chicken. The -up- shot of the Incident was Mr. Lee’s arrest on the charge of having threatened to brain Mr. Bradbury with the shovel af- ter he had thrown it at the dog and thus scared the latter into relinquishihg ef- fort to slay the chicken as the animal. had finished the life ot many a ‘quaking hare.

Harper; secretary of the Man- hattan Loan Company, whose . offices are located in the Crocker -building. has disappeared, and, according to in- formation secured by B. H: Strong; the president of the company, he has taken | with him more than $6000 of the. funds | of the corporation. Harper was well known_ In fimancial circles in this city, and until an ex- aminatfon of the books of ‘the com- pany proved that he had misappropri: ated the profits. of one of the deals of the loan company his friends clung to the theory that he had. been a victim of foul play. { Since Harper’s disappearance,. how- ever, facts have come -to light. which | indicate that he had made careful preparation to secure what money "he could and leave this part of the coun- | try. A short time before he -léft San Franéisco .the ‘missing secretary- was served with a summons in a divorce action. His wife resides at 1845 Oak street. Immediately after the service of the papers Harper- set about getting all the money hie could into his hands, and when’a fortunate turi in a mining deal ‘enabled .him to get possession of between $3000 and $56000 he waited po ‘longer, but, taking his lz-year old son, | William Harper, with™ him, left the olty. : 3 ‘He was lnlt seen in o-kl-nd where le told several friends .that he was on his way to a -mine in which he had an interest,” In Plumas County, and, ex- hibiting a lafge sum of money in gold and currency, said he was going to |- pay off the employes of the mine. A friend of the missing secretary re- -ceived a letter from Harper three days ago bearing a New Orleans postmark. in which . Harper sald he was on -hj; ‘way to. Mexico. Strong believes that this was a blind and that his former ‘partner has gome to Chicago. Mrs. Harper, who was left with her 10-year- old-daughter, Elsie, has not heard from her. husband since he left this city, and until she was informed that he was missing did not know that he had dis- appeared. Strong, the president of the Manhat- tan Loan Company, when seen at his home, 350 College avenue, In Oakland, last night, ‘said that the money stolen by Harper was not a part of the funds of the company, but.was the profit of a deal with tHe Ward Creek Mining Company of Plumas County.
