A HOPEFUL VIEW.
Both Suspended Banks
Expect to Reopen,
The Pacific as New Incorporation and
the Peoples Home With
More Money.

just what will be the next step for the
Pacific Bank is still a matter of some
doubt. Cashier Frank V. Mcdonald is
now in Chicago. said Vice President R. Il.
Mcdonald Jr. at the bank yesterday after
noon, being on his way to New Y ork,
where their father now is. Mr.. Mcdonald
had not much to say, but both he and
Director Bowen. who was also in the bank.
took hopeful view of the future.
The latter said that arrangements were
under way for a reorganization and th at
the bank would soon probably start up
under new management as new cor
poratinn. New capital. he said, would
likely be put into it. Mr.. Bowen also CON-
municated what re said was private in
timaton from Bank Commissioner knight,
who has been examining the banks con-
dition, that the bank was solvent
Mr.. Mcdonald was also of the opinion
that the result OF the official investigation
would show the institution to be solvent.
Whatever will be done in the future. how
ever, depends largely upon Captain James
Mcdonald
Mr.. Knight is practically through with
the most laborious part of his work. He
has done nothing vet with the Peoples
Home Savings Bank, other than to count
the coin on hand, with the result he says,
mat the amount OF cash found in the vaults
did not differ materially from Manager
Farnum's statement. AS to the Pacific
Bank he did not find S53 900 in actual cash
in its possession. T1ers were a great many
tags ana checks, but not that amount in
hard coin.
The Sheriff taking possession of the Pa
cific Bank under the Ferdinand Smith
claim of $4,000 has interfered with MIR.
Knight considerably. says that official. It
was hoped that the injunction question
would be heard to-day. but Attorney Gen.
eral Hart as sent word that he cannot be
present, SO a continuance of the hearing
will doubtless be recessitated.
He will be here on Monday, though. and
so will Bank Commissioners Gerberding
and Dunsmoor. They are now at Los
Angeles. The Riverside Bank, so Mr..
knight asserts, has also contributed toward
the complication Of the Pacific Bank, owing
to the transactions between the two ipsti-
tutions. The commissioners will devote
Monday to the affairs of the Pacific Bank.
aud then they will look into the condition,
of the Peoples Home Savings Bank.
One of the commissioners cannot alone
make report; 1t takes majority of the
board.
Speaking of the Peoples Home Savings
Bank, Mr.. Mcdonald says the utmost
efforts are being put forth toward getting
all the collections possible. and that when
1t does start up again il will be with more
of cash capital, and he, as director, will
so vote.

WANTED TO MEET MOLLIE.
I. CalIahan's Desperate Attempt to
Kill Himself.

Timothy Callahan attempted to commit
suicide in his room in the California House,
at the corner of Steuart and Folsom
streets, last night by severing the arteries
In his arm with knife.
The place in which Callahan attempted
to end his existence is a sailors boarding
house. Last night he hired room early
in the evening and Immediately retired
He had evidently been drinking heavily,
and becoming respondent while brOOdlng
over the death of his wife took knife and
cut himself several times in the left wrist,
S-vering the arteries and tendonS. He
was discovered some hours later, when his
groans of pain attracted the attention IF
the night Waterman, who burst in the door
Of his room.
Callahan lay on his bed very weak with
the blood streaming from his self-Infiicted
wound over the bed clothes and floor,
where it lay in pools.
The would-be suicide was taken 10 the
Receiving Hospital, where Assistant Pc
lice Surgeons Berry and Coffman sew ed up
the wound. which was badly lacerated,
having been inflicted with dull knife that
tore the flesh.
When searched a letter was found on
Callahan indicating that the deed WAS pre-
mcditated. He referred in a rambling way
TO mine which he was working and where
he desired to meet his father and mother,
and after cursing the latter for refusing to
recogniZ his ''!rue little wife Mollie, WHO
died last Sunday" Callahan ad ed that the
Foresters would take charge OF his body,
and drew plan of the plat in which he
wished to be buried, and concluded the
epstIe by expressing the conviction that
he would meet Mollie at the mine.
The surgeons say that although Callahan
lost large quantity of blood, and was very
weak in consequence, he will recover, but
ihink he will lose the use of the injured
hand. Nothing is known of his family.

STILL GOING ON.
Examination of Witness
in the Heath Trial.
AMATEUR DETECTIVES WORK
StiIwell Was Not Engaged in Efforts
to Buy Confessions or Make
Testimony in the Case.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

FRESNO, June 29.-The entire day was
devoted to the cross-examina att on of 5. j.
Stilwell, the Examiner reporter, who did
some detective work In the case. His
cross-examination will be continued to-
morrow.
Stilwell denied that he had paid, or
offered to pay. o. P. fuller to go out to
the Curtis vineyard to see if any Usage
orange grew on the place. He had caused
the arrest of Spesse and Daily for perjury
this week. Had not asked the proprietor of
the Apex Saloon to employ Spease. Did
not attempt to get Tojanari to give corrupt
testimony against Heath and Policy.
He denied Offering a number of parties
money to swear as he suggested. Had
something to do with the Sidney Bell
case; did not tempt him with coin.
At this point preparations for scrap
between johnson and Foote were intro
duced. The court called johnson down.
Mr.. Foote then read letters from Still
we'll to NJ. B. Curtis. One was to the
effect that he had sent o. P. fuller out to
The Curtis place and asked him To care for
him. Witness had been told by Coolidge
that a man named Prick said Heath took
a black-handled pistol with him to town
the day before the murder.
Witness denied that he asked Prick to
swear; did not tell Heath in San Francisco
that two men were known and an offer If
$4,000 if the third would come forward
and confess, and that he would not be
prosecuted.
Heath asked the names of the parties
and witness said he was not authorized to
mention them; did not put lot of $50
pieces on a table and tell Heath he had
$1,000 to give one of the three men to tell
all he knew about the murder. He adj
mitted he had $500 at the time to be used
for another purpose.
MIR. Johnson objected to this line of
examination.
Mr.. Foote said he proposed to show that
Crittenden Thornton wentto 10 hn Brown
and to DR.. Bowie, and advised them that
the prosecution had such dead case on
Heath that they shonld urge Heath to
confess, in which event Judge Holmes
would dismiss any prosecution against
him, and that he would be allowed to 90
scott free.
The court ruled it out.
Did not tell Examiner business office
that it could get confession from Heath
for $500.
j. b. Hume was called and testified to
hearing seven shots and cry of murder.
Might be mistaken as to the number of
shots.
Stlwell, recalled, explained his counec-
ton with the Elwood Bruner case in Sac
ramento. when he went by the name of
Stowell, and had used other assumed
names.
The morning call., 1893-06-30

regular newspaper war broke out in San
Rafael, the Marin County journal taking
up the fight against Monteith. The young
lawyer was assaled right and left. articles
being printed in the journal, instlgatsd. II
is said, by persons in San Diego. where
M0nteith formerly lived.
In long communication to the Marin
journal an anonymous correspondent IN
San Diego attacked the character of Mon
teith and gave the public his alleged mis-
doiugs in San Diego County. After arrest
ing Ambrose Bierce for criminal libel and
succeeding in having him bound over for
trial at the next term of the Superior Court
of Marin County, Monteith turned his
attention to the persons who had attacked
him in the Marin Journal. He first caused
the arrest OF Editor VIM of the Journs II
on charge of criminal libel, and then set
about to discover The author of the anony-
nous letter from San Diego. In the mean
time the National City Record. weekly
paper published at National City, town
adjacent to San Diego, published articles
attacking Monteth.
Monteith, tho was in the city yesterday,
claims that Congressman w. W. Bowers
Is the anonymous letter-writer who sent
the communication to the Marin Jouru al,
and who instigated the attacks in the
National City Record. Bowers and Mon
teith were bitter enemies in San Diego
four or five years ago, when Monteith was
prominent in San Diego County politics.
Monteith says the letter in Bowers hand
writing is now in San Rafael. and will be
used as evidence as soen as Bowers is ar
rested and tried for criminal libel.
Il have sworn olt warrants" said Mon
teith to CALL reporter yesterday, "for
the arrest Of Congressman w. w. Bowers
on charge of riminal libel. and have also
caused warrants to be Issued for the ar
resi- of George W. Beermaker. the pub
II her. and IA. A. HarbouGh, the editor, of
the National City Record. The Sheriff of
Marin County has the warrants for the
arrest OF Bowers. Beermaker and Har-
bough. and is now on his way to San
Diego to serve the papers,"
The arrest of Bowers and the two San
Diego editors will make FIVE persons under
arrest for criminal libel on Monteiih, and
he says that there will proba bly, be others
to follow. This is why Mr. Monteith is a
very busy man just now with blood in his
eye and his pockets full Of legal docu-
nents. The papers filed against the San
Diego trio must necessarily be served
in San Diego County and the three
men must be brought 10 Marin County by
the Sheriff. Once in San Rafael they
can give bail and move for change OF
venue to San Diego County.

DANGEROUS PASTURAGE.
The Coast of Holland Where the Sc;
Retires in the Summer Months.


The Zuyder Zee is kept back from
number of little villages on the coast
of Holland by great dixie that
connects sand dune with sand dune
During the low water of summer
the sea retires for long distance,
and the uncovered shore becomes fine pas
turages, giving the farmers chance
to convert their own meager grass
patches into hay for the winter. Unfor-
tunately this provision of nature can
not be enjoyed by all. 1t is a be-
quest to these villages from a countess
who died in the year 1872 To speak
exactly, each descendant of resident of
the villages of Laren. Bancum and Hui
zen OF that date has inherited the right
to pasture seven cows. This privilege
cannot be bought or sold; it can
be acquired only from an ancestor of
the village OF that date. When the spring
comes the cattle are driven to the pastures,
where they remain for the summer. Their
owners commonly live miles away and ii
necessitates two daily milking trips on
which they jog over in a cart with the cans
and pals at midday and midnight.
AThe pastures are hundreds Of acres in ex-
tent, and for long time il puzzles visitors
to see how al owner could find his cows on
dark night; but they have trained their
animals 10 come to a certain place at the
same hour each day and night by always
carrying to them some dainty in the shape
OF salt or potatoes. During the summer
THESE pastures are used without danger,
but in the autumn the succession of north

Iide, will put the land many feet
under water. Sometimes the inundation
Is so sudden that the cattle are caught by
the rising waters and drowned. So at the
beginning of September watchmen are al
ways stationed on the dixie TO keep a sharp
lookout upon the sea. The church towers
