OSBORN is INDIGNANT.
Will Swear to Complaint Charging
Fleming With Criminal Libel.

Poundmaster T. A. Osborn is indignant
over the charges recently made by ex-
Superintendent ]. B. Fleming in which
the latter denounced him as perjurer.
Osborn says that he has been grossly ma
ligned and now he proposes to be avenged
by having Fleming arrested on charge OF
criminal libel.
On December Is Fleming in an interview
published in THE CALL said that he had
filed with the Grand Jury certain docu-
ments charging the poundmaster, among
other things, with falsifying the January
report, and further, that he committed
perjury in swearing to its correctness.
1t was alleged by Fleming, in his re-
vestigation, that Osborn, with view OF
finding favor in the eyes of the Super
visors, gave to the City certain moneys
belonging to the Animals Home. He de-
manded that the books of the society be
exported from the day Osborn assumed
charge to the present time.
| Osborn denies emphatically all the
charges made by Fleming, and repeats his
| former statement that the books OF the
society are in perfect condition.
His attorney is now drawing up COM
plant, which will be filed to-day, charg
ing his ex-superintendent with criminal
libel and dem anding his arrest.
Osborn promises many sensational things
in his complaint, and it is not improbable
that others will be brought prominently
into the case.
Mr.. Fleming was not to be seen at his
home 105 Sixth street last night, but his
wife, who is also mem her of the society,
was inclined to make light of Osborn s
| threateded prosecution.
1T may be that Mr.. Osborn will swear
to complaint of this character, but l
| hardly think So" she said. Il know that
Mr.. Partridge, Mr.. Fleming and Expert
Paul B. Hay were at the pound Wednes-
day examining the books, and if matters
thev the we were ETA am sure he would have told 1a me
Mr.. Fleming relies solely on the books OF
the public pound to exonerate him. II
they do not corroborate his statements it
is then time enough to talk of criminal

enough votes from the First to carry the
day, the Second Regiment being conceded
to Macdonald.
To all appearances the First was evenly
divided, and G companies being for
Macdonald but a breach was expected
through the feeling existing between ex-
Colonel Sullivan ard eX.Captain Tilden,
who was working openly for Macdonald
The former mad three friends who had
promised to vote for any man he wished,
after the first ballot, which all conceded
would be tie.
Colonel Macdonald adherents evidently
saw the com bination, for at the last mo-
ment, just before the officers went into the
quarters of D Company to begin their de-
| liberations, a hurried consultation was
held between some of Macdonald's friends
and Colonel O'Connor of the defunct
Third Regiment, who had considerable
strength with the companies which the
| Crocker men had counted on.
| 1t is said that Colonel O'Connor was
| offered the berth of Iieutenant-colonel in
| the consolidated regiment in exchange for
! the votes controlled by him, and the result
would seem to bear out the assertion.
The first ballot stood 20 to 20, forty Off
GERS being present. Before the next ballot
could be taken an understanding was
| reached and the result was disastrous to
| Colonel Crocker's hopes. Five votes from
was elected by that number.
| The confirmation of the story about the
| O'Connor- Macdonald com bination came
when the former was elected by the same
vote over Lieutenant-Colonel Smith of the
Third, who was slated with Lieutenant
Colonel Crocker.
| The election of the three majors was
then taken up and Adolph Huber of the
old Second, Captain Charles l.. Tilden re-
| tired and Thomas ]. brady of the old
| Third were elected. Tilden's election was
a reward for his work in favor of Colonel
! Macdonald.
| Colonel Macdonald was soon escorted
| by his friends to the assembly room,
| where he was cheered to the echo and
made speech in which he thanked the
officers for his election and predicted a
| brilliant future for the National Guard
under the new regime. The opinion was
| freely expressed that the newly elected
ma jor Charles l.. Tilden, would not be
able to hold his office without contest,
as being on the retired list he would not
| be eligible to election to such a position.
| 1t is expected that COLONEL Macdonald
will make sweeping changes in his staff, as
| a number of officers have worked against
| him in the contest just finished, and it is
| believed that he will reward their efforts
| by appointing others in their plac ces.
| The election of the Fifth Regiment,
which was held at the California Hotel
| was as calm as the other was exciting, and
| all the old officers were reelected.
| The officers are: Colonel, D. B. Fair
| banks; lieutenant-colopel, A. X. Whitten !;
and majors, L. A. Julliard and John F.
Hayes.

A LITTLE BOYS THEORY.
Thought He Could Avoid Sickness
Merely by .sNIaking Up His Mind.'

Thought He Could Avold S1CknesS
Merely by "Making Up His Mind"
Once upon time wise little boy assured
his ill-informed parents that he didn't intend
to have the mumps, even If the disease was
"going round" He could be well just by
making up his mind to- he said. Next morn
ing he bit into pickle and a terrific pain be-
hind the ears made him realize that he could
not stave off disease by an effort of will.
He is an oldish man now and not half as set
in his opinions as he used to be. He has no
ticed how rare is perfect health and how
numerous are the causes that make people
weak and wretched. Work that they cannot
shirk, exposure, and very often their own IL
discretion, bring men and women to condi-
ton where only little cold or trifling indi-
gestion is needed to send them shivering to
bed.
The lesson is as old as the gray ocean.
Watch yourself, and when you detect the first
sign of decreasing strength fortify the body
with something that stimulates the whole sys-
TEN, gently yet effectively. 1t is proper to say
that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, q medicinal
preparation, has supplanted nearly all reme-
dies for this purpose.
Thoughtful doctors know that while whiskey
may be a most valuable help in inducing
healthy action in sluggish body, only a per-
fectly pure whiskey will answer the purpose.
The difficulty in getting such q whiskey has
been a STUN bling block in the physicians path.
1t did not take the public long to recognize the
excellence of Duffys Pure Malt.
There is health and strength in every drop
of it

OLD CITY HALL SITE,
The City May Yet Purchase
the Ad joining Property
Needed.
Owners of the Land Not Inclined to
Insist on Exor bitant
Figures.

The property on Washington street west
of Dunbar alley, which adioins the site of
the old City Hall and which should be
acquired at a reasonable price in order to
give proper ground space for the proposed
new police edifice, is owned by four per-
sons. Henry Schwerin and Mrs. Shad
own frontage of % feet 6 inches on Wash
ington street, with depth of So feet
inches.
The brick building on this ground cost
$4,000. Architect O'Connor told Mr..
Schwerin that it was very substantial
structure. "After the earthquake of 1865"
said Mr.. Schwerin, 81 repaired the rear
wall. The Board of Supervisors then con-
sented that the City should accept the re-
paired wall as a party wall. On this agree
melt paid for the repairs"
A frontage of 20 feet on Washington
street, with depth of 40 feet, is owned by
John A. Schmidt. a well-known pioneer.
A frontage of 47 feet inches on Wash,
ington street, with depth of "a feet, is
owned by Mrs. Charles Cohen, a widow.
Shortly after the Supervisors appointed
R. II. Hammond Jr. to make inquiry
concerning the value of the land and
buildings he met the owners at the United
States Restaurant, on Clay street, and has
submitted his report to the board. Mr..
Hammond is not inclined to discuss the
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-20

proposition further, and does not consider
that he is authorized to reopen negotia-
tions.
The report which has gained currency
that the property-owners demanded
$40, 900 for property not worth more than
$4,000 was somewhat premature. 1t
seems now that Mr.. Schwerin might come
down to $4,000. Should he do so Mr..
Schmidt would accept $4,000. 1t is the
judgment of experts on real estate that
Mrs. Cohen's property is not worth more
than $4,000, but figuring the value OF the
property on the interest which it pays, the
investm mt might be greater. She derives
$210 a month as rent from the premises.
Should the City decide 10 build she
would he compelled to spend a large sum
OF money to prop the walls of her four
story building. A young attorney acts as
her agent, and the attitude which he as
sumed probably had much to do in the
suspension or termination of the negotla-
tions.
Allowing, Mr.; Schmidt $4,000. zoo Mr.. Mr.
SchWerin $18, ,000 and Mrs. Cohen $23, 600,
the aggregate figur, is $4,000, or $1,000
more than the Supervisors estimated the
property TO be worth.
Mr.. Schwerin is willing that proceedings
to condemn the property should take
place. With his building standing as it is
the Dunbar-alley roadway is only eight
feet DrOaQ ana cannot De maze any WlQeT.
A broader entrance from Washington
street would surely be needed should the
City erect new building on the old City
Hall site.
The building on Mr.. Schmidt's lot cost
$i2, ,000 and the lot in 1854 cost $500. He
has been receiving of late years $50 amonth
rent for the premises, which at one time
brought $40 a month. He is inclined to
be reasonable in his demands and mani
tests no desire to take advantage OF the
City.
The Newark property In the same block is
offered for sale for $40 900 and no doubt less
would be accepted. By way of comparison
in real estate values this is regarded by the
real estate men as pertinent to the/issue.
The Newark property fronts on Clay and
Merchant streets nearly opposite Duabar
alley. it has frontage of 53:9 and depth
of 106:9, and substantial improvements
bringing in handsome rental. The lot
itself is judged to be preferable to those
three lots needed by the City, and as for
the old brick and mud buildings
they are not worth so much now as when
erected. A prominent real estate man
stated yesterday that the three Washing
ton-street lots combined were not worth
more than $4,000 and in all probability
could be had for that sum under condem-
nation proceedings.

lam Macdonald, formerly colonel of the
