His Call.

The story is told of a colored
preacher, who had not shown special
aptitude for the work, that in a de
nominational gathering he narrated
his experiences, including his alleged
call to the ministry. He said that he
had a vision and saw on the sky the
golden letters &c. P. c." which he
interpreted to mean, GO preach
Christ" After he had finished hi.
remarks another brother arose and
said that he had no doubt that his
brother had the vision that he de

letters. Il believe said he, that

LITTLE PETE. Exclusively a Product of San Francisco. The Notorious Chinese Coast Gambler. He Is Now a Bookmaker at the
 Races. Has Made Big Winnings and Will soon Own All the Money

By the Associated Press.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. S.-San Fran cisco will soon go by the distinction of possessing Chinese bookmaker. Little Pete. the Chinaman who achieved mo- toriety as the alleged agent of Chris. Buckley, in jury bribing in the Chinese cases, will on Monday open book at the Bay district track.
 Little Pete is the leading Chinese gambler of Sar Francisco and is noted as nervy and better at any kind of game. He has made some very big winnings at the races this season and all Chinatown is anxious to plunge. Little Pete will accommodate them when his book opens and if past ex- periences go for anything he will soon have most of the money in China town.
 He speaks English fuently and will take bets of white as well as of Chinese gamblers.

deep study, was led down stairs.
 The floor of the jury room after it was all over showed that fierce struggle or human life had taken place. It was filtered with scraps of paper, the remains of mum berless ballots. so many that the number had been forgotten. At the first, the ballot stood eight for murder, three for manslaughter and one for acquittal. At length the solitary ad- vocate for mercy voted for msnslaughter and thus the balloting continued until near the close. Finally the minority began to weaken, broke and Shurbert's death was avenged so far as the jury could avenge it.
 A strong fight was made for his slayer. Though popular opinion was strongly against the defendant the jury was made up of men who were quite unfamiliar with the revolting incidents of the murder. The case was tried with the greatest fairness and precision and the result will be accepted as 6 satisfactory triumph of justice.

THAT BIG CHECK. SpreCkles' Contribution to Bond Syndicate. 
 Put a Million and a Half
 Into It. Money Paid Into the San Fran

Talk That He Had Bought the Chino Beet Factory Proves to Be
 Simply an Idle Rumor.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANoIsCo. Dec. 6.-There has been much speculation here as to what became ot the $1,500,000 for which Claus Spreckels recently drew his check on the Nevada Bank of California.
 Assistant United States Treasurer Berry today declared that the talk about Spreckels buying the beet sugar plant at Chino and 10000 acres of land surrounding it was all nonsense.
 The million and a half for which Spreckles drew his check, Berry states, was paid into the sub-treasury here in gold between November 2S and Dec. 4, for account of Drexel, Morgan & Go. The sum, with $53O,0O0 paid in by the London and San Francisco bank, was San Francigco's contribution to the sym dicate which recently purchased the big issue of United States bonds.

BECAUSE HE'S A CONVICT.
Fred Shafrer's Wife Files Suit for a
 Divorce.

Fred Shafrer's Wife Files Suit for a
 Divorce.
 Another chapter ill Fred Shaffer's volume of woes was opened yesterday. His wife began suit against him for divorce
 The petition is based upon the fact that he is serving term in the peniten- tiary for the murder of Judge Richards. A list of the property held in h1s name, real and personal, was in- cluded in the petition. The plaintiff also asks the custody of their three children. The property described is heavily incum Dered, 8 part of the in- cum brance being 8 mortgage given to raise funds for Shaffer's defense. A reason why she should have the property, not set forth in the petition is that the de- fendant will not likely ever have an ep- portunity of enjoying any of it. He is now an old man and in the absence of a pardon will be twenty years older before he will leave the penltentiary alive.

III WAS
 MURDER! Price Was Convicted at
 Midnight. A Desperate Five Hours
 Struggle. THE SENTENCE TEMPERED With a ReCommenda-
 ton to Mercy. Prisoners Nerve Never Deserted Him. The Uttered Floor of the Jury Room Showed How Fierce The Struggle Had Been
 for a Human Life.
Prisoners Nerve Never
 Deserted Him.

Wm. E. Price has been convicted of murder.
 Almost simultaneously with the strik- ing Of the clock in the court house st midnight there wss d knocking on the jury room door, announcing that a verdict had been reached after q deliberation of nearly five hours.
 As the defense had promised on Friday night when court adjourned it had made out it's case before noon so that the rest of the day was devot- to argument and preparations for con- signing the prisoners late to the jury.
 When the trial was resumed yester. day morning, a larger crowd was in at- tendance than had thronged the court room the day before. The defendant had been clean shaven, ana though he betrayed no nervousness, the first days proceedings seemed to have impressed him with the awful possibility which lay hidden within the iury-box.
 The proceedings began with the in- troduction of testimony for the defense. The first and most important witness besides the prisoner himself, was T. D. Tipton, who said that just before the shooting commenced on that memorable October morning, he was standing about twelve feet west of the west door of the Miners saloon. The defendant and his victim, Shurbert, were engaged in bitter altercation, in the course of which Shurbert grabbed at the prison CT who drew a revolver and fired. Shurbert then turned and ran across the street. The rest of the witness's testimony agreed with that offered by the territory's witnesses the day before The cross-examinatlon failed to shake Tipton's story.
 Price himself testified next. He said Shurbert was coming out of the door oi the saloon where they met. The quar. rel about the jackpot the night before was resumed and Shurbert told him tc go in and get the money. The quarre was continued and Shurbert struck him. He drew his revolver and fired in self defense. He recounted with some bitterness the circumstances o the fight over the poker game and said that after Shurbert had beaten him that night and had been taken away by the bartender he told him he would give him more the next time he met him. The defendant admitted that be. fore he met Shurbert in the morning ot the killing, he had received from the bartender the money left at the saloon for him by Shurbert.
 Geo. Jones who was present at the fatal poker game, testified that Shur- bert had threatened Price to "make It hot" for him the next time he saw him.
 J. W. Lambert, John Calvin, John Henry, Geo. Rhodes and c. A. Baker called in the order named, testified tc the good character and reputation ot Price. c. J. Beauvais, Chas. Singleton and Norris Hamilton testified against the reputation of the dead man. They said he had been violent and q1arrel
