FELL ASLEEP AT THE KEY
A Telegraph Operator Lets
Two Arizona Trains
Collide.
A WANDERER THREE YEARS.
Returns Incog. After Exciting Expe-
riences to Find the Case
Dismissed.

Henry Howard, private in Uncle Sans
service. stationed at Benicia, was in town
yesterday looking up his father, DR.. 0. W.
Howard, formerly of SIS Larkin street 1t
was three years since the young soldier
had been in San Francisco, but in those
thirty-six months were crowded an expe-
rience which seldom befalls men of many
years the young soldiers senior.
Howard is % years old. When he was
10 years OF age he held the position Of
telegraph operator at small station and
siding in Arizona. TWAS principal ship
ping point for cattle in that part of the
Territory and at certain seasons the agent
OF the Southern Pacific Company and him
self had much to do.
Young Towards duties were at night,
and quite often when there was an IN
usually large shipment of cattle to be
made he would assist the day man, and
this kindness it was that ultimately caused
the most exciting episode Of his life. After
working all night at his desk, he put in
the whole OF the following day with his
associate in shipping cattle, and returned
to MS duties at 8 P. VI. without having had
q minutes sleep. The result was story,
the true version of which is now given for
the first time.
Between and O'Clock on that eventful
night and morning three years ago, the
young operator went TO sleep. He did not
hear the repeated calls at his instrument,
and q train rushed by without the orders
it should have received at his hands. a
collision occurred further down the road.
Towards first intimation OF anything
wrong was given him over the wires in the
early morning when he awakened from
his deep and dreamless sleep.
As is often the case under such circum-
stances, ne did not realize that he had
slept until he was fully awake in the early
dawn and the full import of the tick, tick
of the instruments had broken in upon
him.
Without other thought than that of es-
cape, he left his office and turned his steps
in the direction of the Mexican border
The Sherin's deputies from Tucson were
on his trail, and for days and nights he
kept up his tireless tramp, resting few
hours during the day and covering as
great distance as possible at night.
One morning be slept later than usual.
He awoke with start, and saw standing
over him tall, handsome man. attired in
the costume of the country. His first and

cisco and without fulfillment OF q contract
between it and Green and Burson got con-
troll of the mine The company trans
ferred its title TO a New York corporation
through Brumagim, Chenery and third
party named Slosson. Meanwhile Green
claimed TO be the real owner, and accord
ing to Mexican law announced he could
take forcible possession at any time This
had the effect of running the New York and
San Francisco companies and the enter
prise fingered for years until Columbus
Warehouse took ii up.
Now Colonel Dan Burns comes upon the
scene. 1t was after he had got through
with his unpleasantness with the State or
California Waterhouse had secured a
lease for three years of the Candelarla
mine, with option OF purchase finally.
Burns was appointed superintendent,
and while he was managing the mine
Waterhouse sent down all the machinery
and capital required for developing and
operating it. but never got dollar back.
About that time, while between so and 100
men were working in the mine, Burns, so
ii is charged in the Mexican courts, con-
spired with the Jefe Politico and the Gov
ernor OF Durango, and through them sue
ceeded in having the mine denounced as
abandoned. Just as soon as the property
was thus conhscated to the State Burns
took possession personally on the ground
as required by the law OF the land. And
when Columbus Waterhouse went there
later on he was told by Burns, 81 own this
mine.''
Brumagim's claim is based on a one
twenty-fourth interest given the Laveagas
by the original company, but he IS not re-
garded as a serious obstacle in the present
contest, which will most likely cost Burns
something like cold half million dollars
or the loss OF the Candelaria mine.

WAS CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A ChiId's Terrible Death, an Inquest
and Other Cases at the
Morgue.

The Morgue officials were kept busy yes
terday. The first corpse brought in was
that OF a. c. Daniels, molder. who re-
sided at 265 Clara street. He had been on
q spree, and was taken to the City and
County Hospital suffering from delirium
tremens. He died early yesterday morn
ing. and was removed to the Morgue.
Mrs. Anna Johnson was taken suddenly
Ill at her home, 49, Broadway, yesterday,
and was removed to the Receiving Hos
pital. where she died. An autopsy will be
held to ascertain the cause OF death. The
husband OF the dead woman is a whaler,
who is now in the Arctic.
An inquest was held on the remains OF
William A. Foster. an engineer. who shot
himself at % Tenth street last Wednesday.
The Jury returned a verdict OF suicide
while mporarily insane.
Little Joe Licata, aged 4 years, was run
over and killed by truck at the corner OF
Commercial and Battery streets. The lad
was sent TO neighboring store for a spool
of thread, and when he was picked up the
article was tightly clasped in his little
hand The wheel of the truck went over
his head, killing him instantly. George
Hopkins. the driver of the team. was
arrested and charged with manslaughter,
but was allowed to go on his own
recogniZance.

most natural instinct led him 10 reach for
his revolver, but before his hand had
reached the pocket the tall stranger had
him covered.
Il know who you are, remarked the lat
ter, coolly as he handled his gun with an
unpleasant carelessness. You are the
young man who went to sleep at his desk
and let the two trains get tangled up, and
you are anxious TO get over the line"
At first the words of the tall man with
the gun had confirmed Howard s thought
on waking that the former was an officer
seeking his arrest, but what followed gave
him hope. 81 know you" the tall stranger
continued, land 1 viii help you out Of
your scrape."
The conversation which ensued resulted
in young Towards getting into the
strangers buggy, which was only short
distance away, and driving with him to a
ranch in the mountains over the Mexican
line, twenty-five miles away. During the
drive the stranger disclosed his identity
and the motive which prompted him TO
render Howard the much needed assist
ance.
He, with two companions, was engaged
in horse-stealing on a systematic and ex-
tensive scale in the States and Territories,
and at certain intervals large bands were
driven TO the City of Mexico and sold.
The stranger offered Howard $500 to go
along with one OF his companions and help
drive the herd to Mexico's capital. The
offer was coupled with no conditions. If
he wanted TO leave them at the city he
could do so or continue in the business
with them. At the ranch Howard met his
eenefactors wife, beautiful woman, and
his companions. He was treated most
Hospitality. After thinking the matter
over during the night he concluded that he
could not accept the offer, kind as it was
under the circumstances, and he so in
formed his host the next morning. The
latter was disappointed. as he was sadly in
need OF man TO go with the horses, but
ne was true to his word. No pressure ex-
eept that OF persuasion was brought to
pear on the Young man. Next day he was
driven 70 within mile of the nearest sta
ton on the Mexican Central Railway. and
peIore parting with his strange friend the
latter gave him S.
For two and half years Howard tray-
eied over the United States and through
England and France under various as
sumed names. Long before he left Mexico
the case against him at Frisco was dis
missed through the influence of his fathers
friends. But he did not know that and ex-
tended MS wanderings for more than two
years longer than was necessary. He re-
, turned to his native land unknown. and it
was only few days before he enlisted in
the army that he learned the CHARGES
against him had been dismissed.
Howard IS only % years of age, though
he has the appearance of man of 81 as a
result OF his terrible experience at the teIe-
graph desk IN the lonely Arizona station,
supplemented by his three years travel
and the ever-present skeleton in the closet.

WILL FIGHT DAN BURNS,
The Candelaria Mining Com
pany Preparing for a
Great Battle
FOR THE RICH MEXICAN MINE,
Fraud and Romance Mixed Up In a
Struggle Over Rights of
Ownership.

Colonel Dan Burns OF Mexico is not
going to remain long in undisputed pos
session of the fabulously rich La Candle
laria mine in the Mexican State of Durango.
The opinions of prominent lawyers have
been obtained upon the rights of owner
ship under the Mexican laws and their
conclusions are that the mine does not
rightfully belong TO Burns but 10 the
original La Candelaria Mining Company,
organized in San Francisco as far back as
1868.
Neither limitations OF time nor legal
proceedings held subsequent to the date on
which the old corporation assumed possess
sion of the mines are regarded as obstacles,
since the facts stated by this company's
organizers include glaring irregularities in
legal procedure and stupendous frauds are
alleged to have been committed at various
periods in the tangled and romantic history
OF La Can2elaria.
At the present time preparations are
being made in this city 10 begin suit in the
highest tribunal OF Mexico for the purpose
of regaining possession OF the mine. Dan
Burns will be the defendant, and this time
he will be compelled to maintain the
legality of his title or forfeit the property
forever.
The initial steps were quietly taken in
the office of the late Abraham Powell, %
Market street, last Saturday. The old
company resuscitated itself after Rip
Van Wrinkle sleep of something like a
quarter of a century and thereupon pro-
ceeded to tranact business necessary be-
fore going into harness as an active cor
poration. These proceedings appeared on
their face to have little significance other
than that an assessment was levied on the
stock and, not being paid, the delinquent
stock was sold. The assessment was desig-
mated as No. upon the following stock:

POLICE COURT OFFICIALS,
Judge Conlan Advised That He
Must Recognize the New
AppointeeS.
Prosecuting Attorney Wakeman and
Clerk Watson Decline
to Retire.

When Judge Conlan was handed copy
of the resolution OF the Board of Super
visors appointing A. L. Morgenstern as
clerk of his court in place of Am brose Wat
son he intimated from the bench that he
would recognize no other clerk but Watson,
whom he looked upon as most efficient
and honest officer. He would consult his
attorney, Carroll Cook, and be guided by
his opinion.
Yesterday morning when court was
opened the Judge said: 81 have been ad-
vised by my attorney that l have no other
recourse but to recognize the new APP
pointee. declined to take the off-hand
advice of my attorney, and had him make
a careful examination of the matter He
has now advised me that, while he has
failed to find any authority for the board
making any appointments, yet as it made
these it has the power TO declare the places
vacant. 1t seems at all events that l have
not jurisdiction in the matter. l have al
ways contended for my rights, and have
been mandamused on several occasions, but
l am not disposed TO make stand when
have proper advice that will be overruled
l have found Mr.. Wakeman, my Prosecut-
ing Attorney, and Mr.. Watson thoroughly
but l find I cannot do otherwise in the
premises than recognize Mr.. Mogan as
Prosecuting Attorney and Mr.. Morgen-
stern as clerk of the court"
Mr. Wakeman said there was no power
vested in the Board of Supervisors to create
a vacancy and that officers appointed had
practically life tenure and could not be
removed except by an act of the Legisla-
ture. The ruling of Judge Conlan that the
officials de facto were not entitled to their
places was to PREJUDICE a matter that had
not been brought before competent au-
thority. He declined to retire and would
contest the matter further.
Clerk Watson also said that he would
not retire until compelled to do so by the
proper authority.
General Dickinson, who appeared for
Morgenstern, handed up a formal order
recognizing his client as clerk and the
Judge ordered it spread on the records.
The court was then adjourned until June
8, the Judge taking his vacation in the
interim.
Judge Campbell will not make his ruling
in the case of Prosecuting Attorney Enos
till next Tuesday, as Mr.. Enos is out of the
city.
It is understood that the combine in the
Board of Supervisors have decided that no
more removals will be made.
Supervisor bunker has taken a pro-
nouneed stand on this question, and along
with Morgenstern will vote with the mi
nority against further removals. Mr.. Dun
ker said yesterday that he was opposed to
removing good and capable men from office
without sufficient cause, and has so in
formed the other members of the board.
On other issues he declared he would re-
serve the night 10 vote AS he saw lit.

UNDER NEW RULES.
The Peoples Party Has Adopted a
Revised Constitu-
ton.

The Peoples party, through its county
central committee, is preparing for an
active campaign in 1896. A meeting of the
old central committee was held last night
in Mozart Hall, 1928 Market street. which
was attended by twenty-five OF the mem
bers.
Several weeks ago a committee was ap-
pointed to revise the constitution and by
laws of the central committee. The COM
mittee reported last night and presented a
complete change in the articles of govern
ment of the body.
Under the new constitution the member
ship of the central committee will be COM
posed of delegates from each Assem- Div
district, $50 that the central committee
will represent something and not simply a
lot of Peoples party men, who represent
nothing" as one of the committee stated
when the report was read.
The membership is limited to IA, COM
posed of delegates from the Assembly dis
tricts of the City and County. These
delegates are to organize clubs in their
districts The clubs are to elect the COM
mitteemen every six months at the rate OF
four each election.
The imperative mandate is to be ap-
piled for the removal of all members of the
clubs who meet the disapproval of fellow
members. Before any one can join any of
the clubs he or she must sign a nledge to
support 1.-The" nominee of the party. The
clause of the constitution covering this
ground originally read ''all'' nominees.
but many OF the committeeman were afraid
that membership could not be secured if
applicants were compelled to agree to sup
port all the nominees, hence the change.
The new constitution was adopted.
The work of organizing the district clubs
Will begin at once, but the executive COM
mittee does not look for much active work
before next fall.
