ANDREW JAMIESON'S FALL.
Pinned to the Ground by Pile of
Lumber.
The Latter Fell Upon Him and In.
fiicted Several CHASTITY and
Severe Wounds.

About 10 O'Clock last night cries of dis
tress were heard coming from among
some huge piles of lumber down on the
river front, and some of the residents of
that locality went to investigate the cause.
They found a man lying helpless on
the ground by the side of big
pile of lumber, and learned from
him that he had been injured by some
heavy planks falling upon him. He said
be had lain there for some time, calling
for help, and that two young men had re-
sponded to his cries and removed the
lumber that had fallen upon him and
then left him, although be was too badly
injured to rise.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital
and City Physician c. b. Nichols sum
moned to attend him. The poor fellow
was found to be very badly injured. His
scalp had been cut and torn back from
the skull from the top OF the forehead,
while another CHASTITY wound ran hori-
zontaily across the forehead, just over
the left eye, leaving bare the bone. This
cash was about three inches long
His lett leg was helpless, a heavy piece
Of timber having fallen upon his thigh
out III was thought no bones We're broken.
The mans clothing was saturated with
the blood that had flowed from his
wounds, the loss of which had weakene
him considerably.
The man said his name was Andrew
Jameson, that he was stranger here
and on his way to Astoria He met with
his injury while attempting to climb
upon the lumber to sleep. In doing so
the pile gave way, and several heavy
planils or boards fell upon and pinned
him to the ground, inflicting the injuries
referred To.
Jameson is a Scotchman about 80
years OF age, and apparently does not be-
long TO the army OF tramps. He was.
moreover, perfectly sober at the time of
the accident. Hisinjuries, while painful,
are not regarded as at all dangerous.

To-night's Contests.

The handball tournament was resumed
at the gymnasium OF the Sacramento
Athletic Club last evening, and another
series OF well-played games were wit
messed.
The contests were late in getting
started, owing to trouble with the electric
lights. There was quite a large attend
ande. including many ladies.
The first contests were between Nico-
laus and A. Hebron on one side. and
Flint and Dryer on the other. The
teams broke even, each winning game.
Both games were good ones. The scores
were Il to in favor of Nicoaus and
Heilbron, and II to IL in favor of Flint
and Dwyer.
Pope and Maloney were next pitted
against Berger and German, the yeter-
ans. The sympathies of the spectators
were with the first named team and they
were applauded every time they made a
good play. The veterans were too much
Tor them, however. winning both games.
The scores were III and Pile.

who have not yet been beaten in the
tournament. ana who lead in the race for
first prize. 1t was too big an undertak-
ing, despite the fine work done by Klein
serge and Hebron. The result was two
more victories added to the leaders score.
The scores OF the games were 2l-I3 and
2l-12.
The last sets were played between
york and McClatchy lanother veteran
team and Stanley and Nathan. The
latter worked hard but found the old
timers too much for them, losing both
games. The scores were 2I-6 and 2l--4.
The scores for the tournament now

FLASH In THE PAN.
The Bunco Men Fail 10 Make Good
Their Bluff.
They Refuse to Face officer Talbot
Before the Board of Police
commissioners.

The atmosphere in police circles has
been very caloric during the last few
days, and yesterday the crater boiled
over. The immediate cause Of the eXplo-
sion grew out Of the arrest some DAYS
ago OF Ferguson, Martin and Davis, the
bunco men, by officer Talbot. These
meu-the hrst-named of whom was yes
terday fined $l0O by Judge Cravens-
seemed to be under the special protection
of certain parties here, who have exerted
pulls" enough in their efforts to secure
the prisoners release to win a tug-of- war
against whole team of men OF less de-
termination than Chief of Police Rodgers.
But the latter refused to be yanked.
At the time Of their arrest some sort of
misunderstanding arose between Talbot
and two or three other police officers, and
the feeling then engendered has increased
in bitterness until yesterday charges
were made to the effect that the bunco
men accused Talbot of attempting to ex-
tort money from them at the time of
their arrest.
The Police Commissioners called spe-
cial meeting for last evening for the pur-
pose OF investigating the matter and in
the meantime the bunco men were re-
arrested by order of Chief Rodgers, they
having been discharged during the day
after ferguson had paid his $lU0 fine.
When evening came there was quite a
gathering of policemen, reporters and
others, and it was expected that
the rumors which connected GER
tain parties with crooks and graft
ers' would develop into something SEN
sational. But the thing fiattened cut.
Ferguson and his pals appeared to have
reconsidered their intention, for they re-
fused to tile written charges against Tai
bot.
Consequently there was nothing to in
vestigate, ana the Commissioners. re-
porters and others dispersed.
Chief Rodgers then released the bunco
men and ordered them to leave the city
forthwith. They may go back to San
Francisco, but two Of them We're recently
driven from there by Chief Crowley.
Wherever they go, it is to be hoped they
will take their pulp along with them.

sincerity, he was allowed to go, saying as
he left, God bless We, sor," to the court.
James Nadeau was arraigned for carry
ing pistol. He pleaded guilty, but
made statement TO the court that he was
a travelling man, and that the officers had
arrested him on suspicion of being con-
saloon man, and was last in business in
Tacoma. He had been in Jail three days,
and expressed indignation at his treat
ment.
The Judge said he would take the case
under Amusement, the arresting officer
not being present to testify.

MILLIONAIRES AT War.
A Petty Conflict Between the ASt0TS and
VandGTbiltS.
John Jacob Moves a Fence for William K. and

Neighbor Seeks Revenge.

Workmen employed by John Jacob Astor
to-day, says Newport dispatch Of June II
TO the New York World. torcibly moved
fence and changed walks which the en-
ployes of w. X. Vanderbilt had put In
position but few days before. This act Is
the elimination of n misunderstanding
which has existed for some time between
the millionaire cottage owners Of Bellevue
avenue.
The trouble arose when Mr.. Vanderbilt
began building his white marble cottage be-
tween Bellevue avenue and the cliffs. his
premises being bounded on the north aud
south by the estates of William and John
Jacob Astor. 1t originated, it is charitable
to suppose. from the attempts of officious
employees to shroud the construction OF
the cottage in mystery.
AS if to prevent spying from the windows
of the neighboTing cottages, high and un-
slightly fences were built about the Wander
bilt structure, greatly maTTing the beauty
of the wide and well-kept lawns which had
hitherto been merged into each other. small
hedges alone marking the boundaries.
These lofty barriers were continued o
block across the front of the Vanderbilt lot
in a tall wall of stone, fianked on either
side by huge iron gates. backed by CORFU
gated sheeIiron. The unSightlinesS Of these
structures were annoying, but the Astor
gorge did not rise till Mr.. Vanderbllrs men
