WAS Mr.. M'GIRK H0AXED?
He Tells Tale of Whitecaps to Mr..
James
Justice of the Peace at EI nonte Receiv e s
Threatening Letters and Resigns
From the Bench

Deputy District Attorney James was
made the recipient yesterday of story
which carries one mentally to Indiana.
where srch things occur more freque mt
| lv than they do in California. 1t is q
story of Whitecaps, who seem to have
elected domicile in the township of Ell
Monte.
In March last one of the justices Ut the
peace of that township was J. A. Nc
Girk. In July he resigned the job. not
because OF intimidation, he says, put for
the reason that he was going to live some
where else.
Briefly told the story which McGirk
poured into Mr.. James ear was as fol-
lows: On March 4th, while still wear ing
the ermine Of a country magistrate, he
received letter in disguised hand
writing, surmounted by skull and cross
bones, which related that at a meeting of
the Whitecaps of Ell Monte district he had
been tried for 'maladmlnistration OF his
high and mighty office" and found gull
ty. He was advised to resign within
forty-eight hours or expect to be called
upon by his correspondents. A postscript
said:
SHOULD you refuse to obey the orders of
the society in forty-eight hours, God
help you, for man cannot"
Ten days later McGirk, having failed
to resign. received another anonymous
communication, in different handwrit-
ing, again threatening HIM and his lam
lily, hints at poisoning being convey yed.
After the justice had resigned his office
he says he ascertained that one of the
| letters had been deposited in the Ell
Monte postoffice by Allen Broaded. son of
ex-County Treasurer John Broaded, who.
he claims, is friend of the Cummings
| gang that murdered the late Mr.. Nara
more. He is under the mpression that
the intimidatine letters were sent to him
for having held for trial horsethief
named Weltz, who subsequently was sent
up for five years to the state prison. The
district attorney will wait while before
he takes any steps in the matter.

BROUGHT BACK HIS SABER

Comrade Perrine of this place was a
soldier in the Fourth Michigan cavalry
and drew his first saber with other ac.
coutrements at Detroit. He cut his name
on the inside of the belt Immediately on
drawing il. Months after at MunsfoIds-
vile, Ky, he went out with three others
to steal chickens, but various raiders had
cleaned out the roosts and at last they had
TO content themselves with fat sheep
which Perrine was to carry to camp on
his horse. The animals legs were strap
PED and then it WIS fastened up to the
pommel of his Saddle with straps.
They lode merrily toward camp until on
passing some timber out of which side
road issued squad of Morgan's men fired
on them and set up chase. There was
only one thing to do, and that was to
git" and they got, under whip and
spur. The other three foragers rapidly
heavy sheep made his horse run lop-
sided, and the Johnnies were gaining on
him fast and shooting from the rear.
Perrine made up his mind that he
didn't likemuttou anyhow, and, getting
out his knife. he made pass at the strap
which he'd the sheep 10 the pommel.
Now he had strung his saber to the POM
when he slashed the strap it was the
sling strap of the saber he struck, and
down went the weapon with clatter.
The next cut, however, hit the right one,
and down tum bled the sheep. He was
galloping up slope covered by timber,
and Just after ne had unloaded his saber
and sheep line of men in Slue rode out
of the tim Der and opened fire on his pur
suers, but Pe.rine didn't stop until safe
in camp. He learned, however, that his
rescuers were part of the Fourth Ken
lucky cavalry. That's the part of the
story which dates back thirty three years.
On the day Perrine was to start back
home from Louisville, week before last,
he was saunterng along a street leading
to the Tenth street depot. He was wear
ing the badge of the Fourth Michigan
over his heart and presently came to a
man leaning over gate. The stranger
noticed the badge and hailed him, say
ing: Hello, comrade; you belonged to
the Fourth Michigan cavalry, didn't
you?"
Yes. l did," answered Perrne.
"Well," continued the stranger, my
neighbo: has "A saber which belonged to a
fellow in your regiment. His name is
cut in the inside OF the belt and is l.. B.
Perrine, and if my neighbor ouuld find
him he would send the saber to him."
To make short story of it, cxplana-
tions followed the nelghbor was hunted
up, and Mr.. Perrine proved his identity
| and brought home with him the identical
weapon which he had lost SO many years
ago. The men belonged to the Fourth
Kentucky. and when they had stopped
Morgans men and sent them whirling
down the hill he picked up the saber,
while the comrades gathered IN the NUT
ton. Perrine hasn't got done worder-
ing how it happened that out OF 10000
soldiers in Louisville. he should have
been picked out by stranger as the
proper person to supply information
about lin self Detroit Journal.
