A DELEGATES LOSS.

A Purse, Said to Have been Left in a
Restaurant, Disappears.
Morris Ascher. one of the delegates from
San Francisco, accompanied by his wife,
dined at the Saddle Rock Restaurant last
night in one of the private rooms.
When their meal was over both left and
walked as far as the corner of Second and
K streets, when Mrs Ascher discovered
that she had left her purse, containing SIG
in money and note for $500, on the table
in the restaurant. They hurried back, but
the table had been cleared off and the purse
was gone. Inquiry as to its whereabouts
developed the information that nobody
knew anything about it.
Matt. Tyner, the waiter who cleared off
the table, and who was said to have been
the only person in the room after the
Aschers left, denied positively that he had
seen the purse.
Mr.. Ascher. however, was equally as
positive that Tyner had taken it, and sent
for the police. Officer Shook arrived and
placed the waiter under arrest At the
police station Tyner was thoroughly
searched but none of the missing property
was found upon him. He was locked up,
just the same. and Ascher will swear to a
complaint this morning charging him with
grand larceny

ton. 1t looks now as if the major portion

denly reeled and fell. 1t was thought at

was reported that Rasmussen had wife
and fou children living in Woodland and
that he had deserted them and married his
niece, making himself liable to charge of
bigsmy. The Woodland Democrat OF yes
terday has the following. which explains
things:
sRasmus Rasmussen has married his
alleged wife's niece. The woman with
whom he has lived for the past seven
wears, aud who bore him four illegitimate
children, is not bis wife-he simply has
lived with her. And now, after taking to
himself a wife, Miss Anna L. Anderson, he
sends his alleged wife to Astoria, Oregon.

MATT STORMS STABLES.

Los Angeles Meet.
Matt Storm, the well-known horse train
er and breeder, has returned from Los An
geles with his string of racers He speaks
very highly of Los Angeles as a racing

them won the Derby and several other good
events. Among the principal ones he had
with him were Kildare, Marigold, Largetta,
Adj, Mystery and Bessie Barnes. He
brought the whole string back to this city

ALLEGED CRIMINAL LIBEL.
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOX has A
WRITER ARRESTED.
Arthur McEwen Accused of Libel-It
Grew out of the Jessup Will
Case-Etc.

A warrant issued by Police Judge Hale
Rix, of San Francisco, on the sworn state
ment of Supreme Court Justice Charles N.
Fox, was received by Sheriff McMullen
yesterday. 1t called for the arrest of
Arthur McEwen, special newspaper cor
respondent now in this city in attendance
upon the Republican Convention, and
charged him with criminal libel.
The warrant was given to Deputy Sheriff
George Egan for service M. McEwen
was found at his quarters on Seventh
street, and seemed to be surprised at his
arrest. He did not have much trouble in
getting bonds, s. Wasserman and Mayor
Comstock signing for SIS coo each.
Justice Fox's complaint is as follows:
State of California, City and County of San
Francisco, SIS. Charles N. Fox being duly
sworn deposes and says: l have carefully read
the letter published in the EUentng Chronicle of
Virgins City, Nevada. of date OF August 9th,
1890, which letter contains certain scandalous,
malicious and detamatory matter OF and con-
corning Charles N. Fox, a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State of California. and candidate
for nomination for Justice of said Court before
the Republican State Convention about TO as
semble in Sacramento. l the Charles N.
Fox referred to in said letter, and am now a
Justice of the Supreme Court of the said State
of California, and l do most solemnly depose
and swear that every word contained in that
letter scandalous or defamatory of myself is
absolutely wholly and entirely untrue, and
without any foundation whatever, and l have
already filed complaint before the proper Court
to have the authors OF said libel arrested and
prosecuted according to law.
CHARLES N. Fox.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 18th
day OF August, 1893 j. d. SPENCER, Clerk
By BEN. NJ. MADDOX. Deputy.
The article in the Virginia City Chronicle
complained of was also published in sew
eral papers in California being one of the
syndicate letters which Mr.. McEwen writes
weekly. 1t pretends to go into the inside
details of the famous JessuP case decisions
of the Supreme Court-the record of which
was written by Justice Fox, and reversed
the first decision, written by another JUS
tce. The case, it will be remembered, was
based on the claim of an alleged illegiti
mate son to a large estate The article
then goes on to give some very peculiar,
and-to Justice Fox-ofensive, reasons
why this second decision was rendered.
Mr.. McEwen does not appear to be very
much worried over his arrest. He denies
that his article directly accused Justice
Fox of anything, and intimates that
the arrest was made for the purpose of
gaining the confidence of the Republican
Convention in Justice Fox, who wants to
go back TO the Supreme Court.

NEW WRINKLE.
Bonfire Parties are Destined to Become
Fashionable Here.

Bonfire Parties are Destined to Become
Fashionable Here.
Bonfire parties are the latest fad in this
locality.
A few evenings ago about twenty young
ladies and gentlemen of this city were in
yited out into the country to attend one,
and all were unanimous in the opinion
that bonfire parties will become very fash
ionable.
The party was held in little grove, and
a big bonfire in the center of it lighted it
up brilliantly. Chinese lanterns swinging
from the trees added beauty to the scene.
The party Oh entering the grove found it
finely decorated with flowers, evergreens.
and two fine hammocks of the latest design,
which were soon filled with the merry
maker. After having good time in gen.
eral, the bonfire was raked one side and
among the glowing Goals could be seen a
fine bed of roasted potatoes, which were
served in grand style, with plenty of deli
cious hot coffee and cake.
1t is said that another of these parties
will be given down the river some evening
next week.

The Court issued an order of arrest against
them, and the United States Marshal went
upon the land and arrested one Stiles,
whom he found cutting timber. Stiles was
brought down under arrest and put in Jail.
On August 9Th the Court convicted him of
contempt and ordered his imprisonment
for five days. The penalty was made very
light because i. appears that Stiles wife,
who lives on the land. gave birth to a child
few days ago. and is in absolute need of
her husbands presence. The Court OBJ
served, on making the order, that any
further depredatiops of this sort committed
on lands in that vicinity would be dealt
with with the utmost severity, and told
rested.

He Would Knife a Fault-Finding Gus
TONER
There was very lively scene at Haub's
restaurant. on J street, last evening at sup
per time.
John Shelton and his son were dining at
one of the tables and the elder Shelton
found fault with one of the walters, a young
man named Howard, about the manner in
which he was being waited upon.
The waiter talked back and some pretty
strong language was exchanged.
Matters quieted down for a time and
then Mr.. Shelton complained again. There
was more strong language, and then the
waiter began hurting teapots, cups, etc., at
the customer. Shelton arose to reciprocate,
but the waiter bolted for the kitchen. He
returned shortly, though, armed with an
immense carving knife. He advanced to-
ward Mr.. SHELTON, and many of those pres
ent believed that he would have cut him
had not Mr.. Skeletons son sprang between
them.
The sight of the knife caused ladies to
scream, and q general stampede from the
place followed. There were no arrests.

President Young Decides Point Which
Has Been in Controversy.
Although the matter has almost been
forgotten, those who remember the contro-
versy which took place several weeks ago
in baseball circles in regard TO decision
made by Umpire Stafford, where Perrott.
of the Stockton team, failed to bat in turn
and Kilroy took his place, will be pleased
to know that President Young, OF the Ma
tional League, has given his opinion on
the question. He says that Perrott was
rightfully declared out, but that the UNI
pire made mistake in calling back to the
bat again Kilroy, who had reached first
base. He says Kilroy should have re-
manned on first and the next batter, Cahill,
been called up. Perrott was the only man
out
