HIS WRIT WAS VOID.
The Debtor Owned a House, but 1t
Was on Leased Ground.

James r. Pickens tells how he lost his
writ of attachment on a house in the Mis-
sion, in his complaint against C. S. Healey
filed yesterday in the Justices Court.
He states that on the 10th inst. the build
ing at 309S Mission street was in the pos
session of the Sheriff by virtue of writ
of attachment issued in an action in which
Pickens was plaintiff and Alexander Nc.
Donald and James R. Robinson defend
ants. Judgment for $50 had been given
for the plaintiff.
The building was the property of Nc
Donald and Robinson, but, was situated
on Healey's land, the former having leased
the ground from the owner. At the time
of the attachment Healey claimed that
Sl04 was dne him as rent for this prop
erty and asserted lien for the amount on
the structure, which took precedence Of
Pickens' attachment.
flckens alleges that he then made an
agreement with heaiey, arranging to pro-
ceed 10 levy execution on the building.

waive his lien for the rent. 1t was agreed
that at the sale Pickens should bid on the
fouse TO the amount of 500, and IL no
nigher sums were bid. take possession 0f
credited on the judgment. Healev was
then to pay Pickens 500 and take posses
sion OF the house. If another bidder of-
tered more than 500 that amount was to go
to Plckens. Healey waving his lien.
Pickens states that Healey repudiated
his agreement five days later. and de-
manded his $104 from the Sheriff. That
officer demanded that Pckens indemnifv
him for this claim, and upon his refn.aI
the Sheriff released the property. whjcb

These exclamations were made yesier-

arose among the spectators in Central

cause of his excitement was the appear

Arizona Historical Wild West Show-the
weather-worn. battle-scarred old Tomb
stone stagecoach. 1t had been driven for
ward for exhibition, preparatory to the
overland mail scene and the raid upon the
old coach by the redskins.
Spectators were still uttering exclama-

The non-appearance OF the witness to

OF the Government to provide for his de-

custom of OBTAINING such witnesses

npon an order from the War Department

1T FOUND HIM.
A Claimant for the CuriouSly Ad.
dressed Letter.

The publication in THE CALL on
Wednesday of the address-that very long
and unique address-borne upon the face
OF letter sent to Postmaster Backus for
"the young man who went on a cruise in
a sailing boat around Cape Horn from San
Francisco to New York." and then steamed
up the Hudson River. and finally went to
the Worries Fair" along with the unusual
circum stances which accompanied the
sending Of the missive. caught the eye of a
claimant.
A young man about 26 years of age.
dressed in light material. surmounted with
soft black hat appeared at the counter
of W. L. Stowell. the inquiry clerk. yes
terday. suggested that, as he answered the
description in every detail, he was prob
ably the person intended.
He got the letter and opened it, when,
sure enough, there was the very initial
signed to it's contents. which only one
young lady friend of his. living in the far
East, would put there. Before he opened
it he thought the letter might be practi-
cal joke upon him.
In explanation he said that when he was
aboard steamer on the Hudson River he
asked young lady what time 1t was, aud
a conversation was the agreeable conse-
Quence. From that exchange OF views a
strange friendship has sprung, and now he
finds himself unnamed and with conti-
nent between. vet communicated with.
thanks to the United States mails and
printers ink.
He went away with the letter without
leaving any name behind him by which he
could be identified, and about the only
further description which can be given Of
him is that he stands about feet 10 In ches
high and has dark brown eyes.

accompanied the one claimed Yesterday

ROBINSON CRUSOE
McGrath Thought He
Owned the Earth.
Story of a Carpenter Whose Build
ing Was Destroyed by Fire Last
Thursday at Midnight.

Fire Marshal Towe yesterday received a
peculiar and somewhat startling commu-
nication. 1t was In the shape Of letter
addressed to him and containing news of a
fire for which no alarm was rung and to
which no engines fastened.
The communication was sent by one
Justin Barbiaux, Frenchman. VINO has
not been long in the country, and whose
knowledge of the English tongue is most
imperfect. Barbiaux complains that on
the night of the 10Th of the present month,
between midnight and 1 A. NJ, a building
in the course of construction and belCngi ng
to him was destroyed by fire.
The building, he said. was on the south
side of K street. east Of Thirteenth avenue.
By this fire Barbiaux claims to have lost
500 worth Of building and $500 worth of
contents. And with that statement Bar
biaux has charges of grave nature to
make.
He says that his father and brother slept
there on the night before the fire. but did
not sleep there any more. because they
were in mortal ear of William McGrath,
who claims all the land within sight and
who. 1t is claimed. holds his title at the
point of the pistol. Barbaux says that
McGrath cams to him on the afternoon OF
the 18th inst. and told him that he intended
to burn tho house. This, it appears, was
said in the presence of Barbiaux, his
father and brother, and also man named
y. 81. Nero. who resides at 521 Brock
avenue.
In addition to this Barbiaux writes that
Mr.. Mah0ney, who lives in the same
block and is hired by McGrath, stated on
Saturday last that McGrath intended to
burn the house as soon as Barbiaux started
to build it. This statement, like the previous
one. is alleged to have been made in the
| presence of BarbauX, his father and
brother. The communication closes with
the information that McGrath lives at 1886
! Eighteenth street, and is in the employ of
Bush & Mallett, on Geary street. as tile
! setter.
Fire Marshal Towe did not know
whether to be amused or annoyed when
| ing something Of the persons interested,
however, he decided that some steps
should he taken to find out the truth of
| the matter So he put detectives on the
track and found that the story was per-
fectly true. At the present moment Nc
Grath has turned up missing, 30 that the
arrest contemplated has not yet been
effected.
II know the parties WE'LL" said the Fire
Marshal yesterday. 'Barbaux is a
Frenchman who knows but little English.
He came to this country about :wo
months ago and bought the lot in dispute
for 500. 1t was his intention to erect a
carpenter-shOp upon the premises and it
was that building that was destroyed by
fire while in the process of con Instruction.
As for McGrath he is we'll known all over
the neigh borhood. He has an idea tina
he owns all the country around him nd
he bullies and threatens any people who
attempt to settle there. 1 haven't got him
yet. bat I'll have him arrested as soon as
[ can."
Meanwhile Barbiaux is no nearer the
completion of his carpenter-shop.
