for some days past. owing to the tule fires
which illuminate the surrounding country
at night and, of course, frighten the
wild game from the marshes. Then,
again, the cold nights shat have recently
intervened froze the ponds, and the birds
were compelled to resort to the slOughs for
shelter and food. 1t is presumed that the
gun clubs will give as reason for a
scarcity of birds the heavy shooting ac-
complished of late by outsiders who have
no legal right to shoot at preserved ducks
on preserved territory.
The barricade that was placed near the
mouth of the Frank Horn slough last Oc-
tober by employees of the Cordelia and
Teal clubs, and which prevented schooners
and yachts from reaching a point near
Esplnosa station, disappeared one day last
week during the heavy tides, and as a con-
sequence Bells ark, which was anchored
near tie mouth of the slough ever since
the duck-shooting season opened, hoated
with the tide and is now anchored at Es-
pinosa station. There are other yachts
now on the way to Espinosa, and it is ex-
pected that there will be hunting galore in
that vicinity before the season draws to a
close.
The members of the Mallard Club, who
have been enjoined from entering the
Ibis Club grounds, will fight the case,
and they think that they have an excellent
chance of defeating their Coloradoan op-
pcnents, Notwithstanding that the case
has been taken into the Federal courts.
The Mallards are of the opinion that the
Attorney-General of this State should take
an interest in their fight, as it is on a
parallel with the contest now going on
between the Southern Pacific Company
of Kentucky and the Railroad Commits
sioners of California.
The guardhouse, which was constructed
by the Teal Club within close proximity
to where the Mallard Clubs ark is an
chored, and which was burned last week,
owing to the intemperance of the keepers
who were employed to watch the actions
of the Mallards, has been replaced by a
new house and guards are now on
watch with instructions to keep a close
eye on ''the Mallards," and especially the
blockade in tue slough.

The Braverman Insolvency Pro.

gage.
A BILL IN INTERVENTION

Isaack Kohn has filed an interesting
complaint in intervention in the insol-
vency proceedings of Louis Braverman.
In it he attempts to break down what he
terms is an effort to evade the payment of
valuable mortgage which he holds, and
he asks that the proceedings be dismissed.
Kohn held two notes for $4,000 each,
executed by Braverman in his favor on
January 6, 1898. They are due on the
same date in 1896. The notes, he says, are
secured by two mortgages, one on piece
of property on Polk street, near Clay, and
the other on the southwest corner OF
Sacramento and Drumm streets. These
mortgages, he says, he did not place on
record till the afternoon of December 16.
1895, the same day and only few hours
after the insolvency proceedings were
commenced. The petition in insolven cy,
he says, was filed at 9 o'clock-iust after
the County Clerks office was opened on
December 16 last
Braverman is going through involun-
tary insolvency on the petition of Bertha
Bernheim, Louis Gundelfnger Louis Eln-
stein, Daniel Meyer and Louis Einstein &
Co. Kohn states that their petition was
collusive and done for the purpose OF inn
pairing the value of his securities. Bertha
Bernheim, he says, is Braverman's daugh-
ter; Gundelfinger is Braverman's son-ln-
law; Einstein is Braverman' s nephew, and
is married to a niece of Daniel Meyer, and
Louis Einstein & Co is controlled by Louis
Einstein. The petition in insolvency,
Kohn says, although apparently hostile
to Brayerman, was made, filed and signed
at the instance OF Braverman, ana
said proceedings in insolvency are collu-
sive and made with view of lmpalrlng
T. the said mortgage security OF said inter-
yenor and in creating a doubt upon It's
validity and of coercing this intervenor
| into the surrender of the whole or part of
his said mortgage security"
| Proceeding on the mplalnt says: "And
| this lntervenor AYERS upon his lnformatlon
! and belief that few days prior to the fill
| from said time to the time of the filing of
| the said petition, the said petitioning
creditors were in continuous consultation
with said respondent, Louis Braverman,
and his advisers, and the fact that the in
! tervenor was a creditor to the extent OF
| $50. .0OO and that his said Indebtedness was
secured by mortgages, and that said mort
| cages were not recorded, was well known
at all said times to each and all OF said
petitioning creditors"
Kohn saws further that the "creditors
conspired and Uonfederated together" for
the purpose of invalidating and defeatln g
his mortgages by reason of them not hav-
ing been secured, and in pursuance OF
this design the petition was filed lmme-
diately after the opening OF the County
Clerks Office on December 16.
In view of these facts Kohn asked that
the insolvency proceedings be dismissed.

SALE OF SKIM MILK.
Dairymen Anxious to- Have the Super
visors Exclude 1t From the
Market.

The Board of Health and representa-
tives of the Dairymen's Association held a
joint meeting at DIR. Fitzgibbons' Office
last evening to discuss proposed changes
in the ordinance regulating the sale of
milk.
Of the three hundred members of the
association in question only few wish to
continue the sale of skim milk. The ordi-
nance at present provides that this article
must not be carried on the same wagon
with other milk.
The board is inclined to consent to the
change suggested by the dairymen, and a
recommendation to this end will probably
be made to the Board of Supervisors. The
ordinance. which is undergoing other
changes, is now before the Health and Po-
lice Committee of the Supervisors.
Another meeting of the Board of Health
will be held in few days. when the mat
ter will be further considered.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
A Drowning Fisherman Rescued
by the Captain of the
AlcaZar.
HIS WIFE's wATCHFUL LOVE
Charles Hook, an Expressman, Ar.
rested on Market Street for Run.
ming Over Cripple.

CAPTAIN Dettmers of the steamer Aica-
zar had quite romantic story to tell this
morning after he had docked his vessel.
1t was in connection with the rescue of a
Greek fisherman at Port Los Angeles and
it was the watchfulness of a woman that
saved the man.
The fisherman had put out to sea in the
morning and in the afternoon it began to
blow. Up on the side of the hill was the
tisherman's home and in IL was his wife
and child. When the wind came up the
woman got anxious, and taking down a
small field glass which her husband had
given her on her weddingday she scanned
the waters for the fishing boat. She saw II
several miles away and her husband was
steering for the harbor. Suddenly squall
struck the boat and over she went. The
horror-stricken woman dropped the glass
and opening the door raced down the hill
to where the Alcazar and tug lay.
She went first to the tug and begged for
assistance, but they told her the vessel
had broken down and was useless. The
| half-frantic woman then boarded the AL
| cazar and falling on her knees begged Cap
tain Dettmers to save her husband.
The gallant skipper did not need to be
asked twice. He ordered the lines cast
off AMI in a few minutes was heading out
to sea. When the fisherman was picked
up he was almost exhausted. HIS hands
were cut and bleeding from contact with
the ropes that slipped through them in
his efforts to right the boat. Blood
streamed from his nose, and at first the
captain thought he would not live. A hot
drink or two and change of clothes
| helped him considerably, and when the
| Alcazar was again tied up he was able to
leave with his overjoyed and grateful wife.
The British ship Thurland Castle mas
| been sold to Hawaiian syndicate and re-
| christened the Iolani. She will be put in
| the freight and passenger trade between
| Honolulu and San Francisco. The Ioiani
was originally built for the Australian
passenger trade and has splendid accom-
modations. She is a fine vessel OF 1901
| tons burden, 226 feet long, "a feet inches
| broad and u feet 5 inches deep. She was
! built by Harland & Wolf in 1876.
The owners of the Costa Rica are deter

is ready for any vessel in distress that may
come along.
The steamer Wellington ran into the
gale that has caused so much damage
along the coast off Cape Flattery. Her
cargo shifted and she arrived yesterday

WAL TER D. CATION DEAD.
The Passing Away of the Local
Manager of the Firm of
Grace & Co.
Well and Favorably Known in Com
mercial Circles in Valparaiso
and Here.

Flags were at half-mast yesterday over
the Merchants Exchange and all the
shipping-houses out of respect to the
memory of Walter D. Cation, who passed
away at his home near Piedmont at an
early hour yesterday morning of bronchial
trouble, after an illness of two months.
Mr.. Cation. for three years prior to his
death, was the manager Of the local agency
of the shipping firm of Grace & Co. of New
York. and during that period gained a
large number of friends in the commercial
world.
For number of years Mr.. Cation was
the firms representative in Valparaiso.
and while in the southern country met a
lady in Chile who became his wife. In
1890 he returned to this City and two years
later became manager, filling the vacancy
caused by the death of William E. Hollo-
way. In addition to his mercantile duties
he was Chilean Vice-Consul.
Mr. Cation was SO years Of age and left a

ising Prospects for "The Widow
Jones" and "Ixlon."

1t seems that people never get tired OF
Fanny Rice. Though her new play,
Nancy at the French Ball." has
been running since before Christmas
crowds continue to attend the Columbia
to see the brilliant actress and to hear her
bright, catchy songs. During the second
act last night, while she is repre-
sented as entering the residence of
the prima donna to deliver a pair OF
shoes (for the real Nancy is a shoe
makers wife). she sang number of topi-
cal songs, which made great hit. Her
first was tIt Takes Girl to Do 1t Every
Time" But the encore carried the house
by storm. 1t was an original song, both
words and music being composed by the
gifted actress.

A SOCIALISTS VIEWS.

of the Social Democracy.

A. Lewis Discusses Methods and Tactics
of the Social Democracy.
Austin Lewis, the well-known Socialist,
delivered the second of series of lectures
last evening in the Temple at lis Turk
street. The hall was we'll filled. Mr..
Lewis subject was Methods and Tactics
of the Social Democracy" In order to
make his points more impressive upon the
minds of his audience he reviewed the
present social, political and industrial sit
uation and compared it with the ideal state
of affairs from socialistic standpoint. He
said that the factory system was the curse
of the age and was responsible for more
poverty, suffering and strikes than any
other cause.
Dealing more directly with the main
subject, Mr.. Lewis said that this state OF
affairs could only be overcome by war
not war of bullets and brute strength,
but war with ballots.

At the Orpheum

There are some old songs which are ever new
when rendered by an artist. That is probably
the reason for the applause which Bernard
Dyllyn nightly wins by his rendition of "Nevel
Take the Horseshoe From the Door, at the
Orpheum. The bill for the New Year week al
this place of amusement is a strong one. The
audience last night was unusually large
and appreciative. Caron and Herbert, the
crest in their line, and their perform
ance last night won the house. Newell and
Shevette on the horizontal bar are very good,
and De Bolien Brothers likewise came in for
liberal encouragement w. S. Clifford and

by the long waits which occasionally occur.

is especially clever, while Leonard Grover Jr.,
as Professor Gillypod and Miss Nina Gleason
as Beatrice, the music-teacher, are very pleas
ing. The remainder of the company is up to
the average.

Fred J. Butler took the part of Arthur East
man, the American artist. His work was very
creditable, and although the cha racter is some
what out of his usual line, he fell in without a
hitch and showed a keen appreciation of the
finer points of his role. Henderson made a
