AN INTERESTING DECISION.
Judgment Given h Defendants
I'm "a Case to Recover $4,000
Worth of Property.

ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.l
SAN Francisco, Aug. 31.-In the suit of
8. B. Badsrous against J.. Rolph and a
large number of property owners in the
block bounded by Gurrero, Dolores,
Liberty and T~wenty-first streets, to re-
cover property worth about $50, 600.
Judge Mcguire to-day gave q judgment for
the defendants. quieting title to their
lands. The plaintiff in his complaint
alleged that in April, 1869, his father. who
was a w~ell.known physician, DR.. j. @.
Badarous while on his deathbed, decided
the land in controversy as q gift to his
wife. The plaintiff sought to recover pos
session OF an undivided one-half interest
in the property on the ground that
at the time the doctor executed the
deed he was OF unsound mind and incapa-
BILE of making q deed; that he did not
voluntarily sign the deed, but was In q
helpless condition. and that bis wife, with
out informing him of the contents of the
deed. lifted him up in bed and placed a
pen In his hand and guided it, so as to
form his signature. The defendants all
hold their title under this deed. Judge
Mcguire, in reviewing the testimony, holds
that DIR. Bardarous, although weak, physi-
cally, was perfectly conscious OF what he
was doing.

A Probable E~lOpement.
ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.

SANTA Cruz, Aug. 3i.-R. D.. Berry,
Manager of Camp Capitols, a Summer re-
sort near this city, disappeared last Fri
day. 1t is stated that he eloped with a
grass widow from San Francisco, leaving
a wife and grown-up daughter and son.
At Camp Capitola to-day his property was
attached by creditors for $1,000. When
Berry left he took 81 $500 with him. On
Saturday his wife received the following
note: "By the time this letter reaches
you I will be put of the State of Oalifornia.
MY creditors will sell all the stuff l have
got, and about 81, 500 to, say. So, 800 will
be left over and above my debts. Take ii
and do the best you can" Another theory
is that he fed to escape the burden of his
debts.

Col. Andrews, of the Diamond Palace,
Ssn Francisco, has sued the Carson APP
peal for libel. laying the damage at $780,
600. And here we tumble right into the
racket along with all the rest. 1t is merely
an advertising dodge. II costs the Colonel
about forty dollars to employ a San Fran.
cisco shyster TO file the papers and he will
get back ten thousand in free advertising.
He will probably whack up with the APP
peal when he gets through. But II he
should prosecute the case in good faith
and get judgment for the full amount IL
would hardly phase the Appeal. Fifty
thousand would be a mere fly speck in the
bank account OF that great metropolitan
journal. The wonder is that Col. Andrews
ever thought Of tackling so powerful an In.
stitution. He has our sympathy In his legal
tussle with the Cr@sus OF the Appeal.

WOOD.

A Learned BOtsnist fn Town, whose
Of the Same for the Most Complete
Collection Of Woods Ever Nate I'm
America.
Mr.. 8. Brandegee, originally OF Con.
necticut but for several years past a resi-.
| dent OF the Pacific Coast, is at the Jackson
House. MI. Brandegee's object in visiting
these parts is to collect certain specimens
of wood for Morris K. Jesup, o wealthy
banker Of New York City, who is making
an extensive and most complete collection
of all the woods grown in America, which
be will, when completed, present to the
American Museum Of Natural History In
his city, and which will be placed in what
is known as the Arsenal building in Central
Park. The collection has been in pro-
gress some four years, and it will probably
be another year before it is completed. 1t
is under the direct supervision of Prof. @.
s. Sargent, of Harvard University, who
had charge of the forestry division in the
compiling of the tenth census Of America,
and who is now Director of the Arnold
arboretum at Harvard. 1t was believed
last Spring that the Pacific Coass
had been thoroughly canvassed, but it wat
ascertained thar some sixteen varieties
were missing, and it is for these that Mr..
Braudegee is now searching and getting as
near as he can perfect specimens. He
came In town yesterday with Henry Fen
stermaker, of Fish Creek, where he had
been for some time past securing a perfect
specimen OF mountain mahogany. He
succeeded in finding one five feet long and
Is inches in diameter. He also succeeded
in finding a specimen of cedar OF hke
length aud IL inches in thickness. Speci-
mems Of this length are always wanted,
aDd they must be solid and as free as pos
sible from knots. Mr.. Brandegee says
that in America there are Alb varieties Of
wood grown in what is recognized as trees.
Nevada has in the neighborhood of Is
varieties, among them the cedar, white
pine, mountain mahogany, q~uackenasp,
nut-pine and cottonwood.
Mr.. Brandegee will leave ON Tomorrow
train for San Francisco, and from there
will go stan earlyday to Northern California
and Southern Oregon, where he hopes to
secure two or three OF the desired varieties.
He expects to reach Mt. Stewart in Wash
ington Territory before the cold weather
becomes too vigorous, in order to obtain a
specimen of what is known as the larch OF
tamarack, a species grown only in that
locality.
Whenever ii is found that these speci-
mems must be handled roughly in getting
them down of of mountains and out OF gor-
ges, they are sewed in hides and thus pro-
tected as far as possible from injury.
They are shipped to New York City, free
OF freight charges, over the Sunset route.

TAKING THINGS EASY.
The Dreaming Secretary of the In-
terror.


terror.
There can be no question that Lamar is
the most inefficient man in the Cabinet.
His appointment was a great mistake. He
is entirely destitute Of pr~acticability and
force. His reputation was gained by
making q few mastery set speeches on
national questions, taking no more inter
est in the general proceedings of Congress,
where the real ability comes in, than if he
were not q member. We know other men
who have made regulations in the same
way, who, as real live representatives Of
the people, are not worth the powder that
it would take to kill them. If the great
American people would consult the daily
records of Congress they would 500 find
out who is who. There is something
more required than the making OF a
single set speech in g term. And yet this
is about all that a good many of the
galoots do. Especially is this true of the
Senate, a body made up of rich nincom-
poops and money bags without brains.
Take eight men on q side out of the SEN
ate of the United States as it stands to-
day and the rest of them will not COM
pare in ability with the average Nevada
Legislature. Lamar belonged to the do
nothings in the Senate and be is keeping
up his lick in the Cabinet. 1t is impossi-
BILE to get him to 10 anything. All over
the West there are hundreds of vacancies
that he does not fill. There are sew.
eral in the Land Department in
Nevada which no amount of press
ure can bring him to consider. 1t is
drawing it sufficiently mild to say that he
lacks the vigor and practical common
sense so important to the successful adj
ministration of one OF the great Depart
ments of this Government. The annexed
Washington dispatch gives a very good
idea Of the man:
According to q prominent official of
the Interior Department Secretary Lamar
is once more relapsing into his old habits
Of forgetfulness and Observation-Disclosures,
| which so distinguished his days in the
United States Senate. When Mr.. Lamar
| was appointed there was q general feeling
| that he was not enough Of a practical
worker to attend to the great mass OF bus.
| mess in the Interior Department. At
| first the Secretary took hold with a vim and
| surprised his critics. Lately, however, he
has gone back to his old habits with 9
| vengeance, and the Bureau officials are
| greatly concerned about the work. They
say that in the midst of his duties the SEQ.
rotary will walk into his Offices, stroll down
to the room Of one OF his subordinates and
talk for hours about the South, the mis-
take OF the secession movements, etc. A
other times Mr.. Lamar will go out for
few moments, walk and forgrt to come bacl
all day. He has made no arrangements Il
go away for a Summer visit, but just takes
things easy here, alternately working and
dreaming"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Edward b
Grant, Of this city, shot Mrs. Lille
Crowser in Oakland last night and then
sent a bullet through his own head. Both
are still living. but il is believed that
both will die. Grant has for some time
past been prosecuting Mrs. Crowser with
his attentions. and on several occasions
threatened to kill her unless she consented
to marry him. This Mrs. Crowser re
fused to do. Yesterday afternoon the un-
fortunate m visited this city, accom-
panied by Mrs. Mary Chever, a daughter
OF Judge Pennie, of San Francisco, re-
turning to Oakland in the afternoon.
Grant followed them and e~ndeavored to
obtain an entrance to Mr.. Chever's house,
where Mrs. Crowser was staying. Mrs.
Chever saw him through the window, and
ran and bolted the front door. Grant
then slipped to the back of the ous and
walked in. Mrs. Crowser wa in the act

spoke to her, but what he said Is not
known. no other person being present. A
moment later q pistol shot was heard, fol-
lowed quickly by three more. Mrs. Chever
rushed into the room and found Mrs.
Crowser stretched out on the floor,
and within q few feet OF her
lay Grant. In his right hand there was
still the smoking revolver tightly clenched,
while from q wound above his left ear
blood and brain matter were oozing.
Medical aid was promptly summoned. An
examination of Mrs. Crowser's wound
showed that all three bullets fired at her
by Grant had taken effect. One had en-
tered her head in front of the right ear.
The second penetrated the neck. and the
other the right arm above the elbow. She
was unable to speak, the shock to her
system having induced vomiting. The
murderer was taken to the hospital. The
wounded woman has o sister and a widowed
mother living in this city. She is de-
scribed as an exceedingly handsome bru-
nette. Her former husband, from whom
she was divorced, lives in New York.
Grant was q tall, fine looking man, but
with coarse features. He was the head
steward at Page & Falch's restaurant. on
the corner Of Turk and Mason streets, and
ia said TO have borne an excellent reputa-
ton
LATER-Grant died this morning about
