CLARKE'S CONFESSION.
He Did SEINE Forging, But Always

He Did SEINE Forging, But Always by
Palmer's Order.
William P. Clarke occupied the witness
stand all day yesterday in the trial of Ii. j.
Palmer for enlightenment.
MIR. Clarke was ex-senator Fairs book
keeper on the Yolo ranch, where the pecula-
tons of Palmer are said TO have taken
place. He testified that Palmer had said to
him and Boee that he would not turn over
to Mr.. Fair any of the money not needed for
expenses, and suggested to both that re-
ceptS be forged to cover the deficiencies
Tins arrangement was accOr dinghy agreed
upon, and he assisted in many OF the
fOrgerieS.
Up TO certain time be and Palmer worked
along all right; but suddenly adSpute arose
over certain entry i'll one of the books that
had been raised by some one from 81 50 to
$50. The first entry was made by the wit
ness. but he could not tell who made the
other, as it was done during his absence.
Nor could he tell whether the books so
altered CORES pended with the cash, as
Palmer would not let him count the cash.
Palmer. he said, used this mysterious
discrepancy to iutimidate him, and made
him sigu note for that amount, payable to
Palmer. To make the books look all right
an entry was made on the other side of the
book showing that the missing S130 had
been paid TO a Chinaman on the ranch.
The witness testified that Palmer had
once said to him that had he palmer known
that he Clarke was willing to stand In with
him they together might have made $4,000
out of the Senator. Clarke positively de-
MED ever having protited a cent by eXecut-

SHOT IN THE NECK.
A Young Mans Narrow Escape
While Hunting.

George Newman. residing on Guerrero
street and Clinton Park, while hunting in
Marin County last Saturday, met with an
accident, which may result fatally. New
man is about p years of age, and imbued
with an intens" love of outdoor sports, max
ing frequent expeditions into the country
during the shooting season. He left his
home last Saturday morning, intending to
enjoy several days sport in Marin County.
At ST. Geronimo he took buck board wagon
and started toward the woods. He carried
his gun near his shoulder. The road was
very rough and the wagon jolted consider
ably. In one Of the lurches the gun slipped
to the bottom of the wagon. The trigger
struck against Newman's knee, and the con-
tents of one of the barrels was discharged,
the shot striking the unfortunate young man
full in the right side of the neck, tearing
portion Of it away. The cords and muscles
Of the shoulder were seriously injured The
condition OF Newman was. soon learned,
and he was taken to a neighbOTing farm
house, when medical aid was Immediately
summoned. On examination it was found
that the shot had only missed the jugular
vein by a hairs breadth. The family of
Newman were notified of the accident and
they, after consulting the physician, thought
it best to have him removed 10 this city.
A cot was provided and he was carried on
this the whole journey, arriving at his home
yesterday morning.
The physician stated yesterday that New
man stood the journey We ], and the chances
for his recovery are good. Newman is a
son of Carleton Newman, who died last
year, and who was the pro eietor of the Pa
cihc, Glass Works. Young Newman acted
as bO0k-keeper of the concern. He is
prominent member of Stanford Parlor, N.

He Still Holds the Prison for Vagrant
and Untagged CANNES.
When Samuel Partridge of the Humane
Society assumed the duties of City Pound
master he addressed communication to
the City and County Attorney, asking
whether he would be obliged to use the
present Pound iuclosure, on Block 40, in the
PotreTo, or could lie impound the captured
animals where he saw fit until such time as
the city purchase Pound.
Counselor bursts reply was that the reso-
luton passed in December, 1889, locating
the Pound on Block 40, as mentioned, was
legal and mandatory; hence that location
must be used for pound until another is
provided.
The real merit OF this correspondence
may be of interest. During Jake Lindo's
administration as POund-keeper he con-
ceived the idea of having the PountI,
changed from California street to the Pc
trero Tor an object purely his own. He
wasn't making enough money out of its
original location, and 1t was too open to the
Inspection of the neghborhood.
Anticipating the Change he leased Block
40, IN the Potrero, and through the aid of
the "sol;d nine" mad the change made
quite easily. The idea was to sublet to the
city and make handsome margin, which
he did.
Neither Mr.. Partridge nor any one con-
nected with the humane Society has any
foudness for Lindo's society, hence the desire
to be rid of him entirely. 1t appears, how
ever. that Lindo has a presumption on the
Pound still, which must hold till the city
removes it,
