JOY AT HOLSTE|N RANCH,
Editor Davis of Carson Enter
tainS at His Country
Place.
Press representatives Wined
and Dined,

CARSON CITY, NEv., Oct. 7.-When the
Nevada State Press Association convened
in Reno last week, Sam Davis, editor of
the Carson Appeal. was reelected for the
third time as one of the executive COM
mittee. On the occasion of Mr.. Davis
succeeding himself he invited the entire
association TO his ranch, where it was pro-
posed to fttingly celebrate a third term.
In the fullness of his heart, or rather that
spirit native to Neyadans, he widened the
invited list and added the Governor and
his staff, the Ormsby County officials,
Senator John P. Jones, the State officials,
the local staffs of the daily papers, and the
"paid-up" advertisers in the Carson Ap-
peal.
Yesterday, as per programme, the line Of
omnibuses, headed by four-in-hand with
Roncovieri's American band, started from
the State Capitol building at l P. NJ. and
proceeded to the Holstein farm, two miles
to the northward and hard by the hillside.
About 100 guests in all started with the
first van and second attachment of about
half that number filed in on bicycles.
bronchos and farm wagons. The spacious
lawn under perfect sky was spread with
delicacies in the shape of roast pig, ducks
turkeys, chickens, pitchers of Holstein
cream, fruits, wines and large quantities of
beer of a local brew. Mr.. DAVIS, after
having herded the cows into temporary
corral, appeared before his guests and ex-
tended them the hearty, glad hand of toll
Then the assemblage fell upon the feast
that had been prepared and forgot the
outer world.
Speeches by Senator Jones and the Gov
ernor and toasts by many others were in
troduced at intervals, and the band

cattle with bursts of crescendo and
strains from Wagner, Mascagni, Verdi and
others. All the afternoon the flowing
bowl and the fragrant Havanas were occu-
pied in supplying the demand.
BY P. NJ. the supply of chicken began to
run low and George Nixon, editor of the
Silver State, headed a raid upon the hen
house, wiping out two dozen spring birds,
which were broiled over the farm range.
Allen Bragg of the Reno Gazette drove
the farmhands up in the loft and, assisted
by T. w. Fairbanks OF the Lyon County
Times and H, A. Lennon of the Carson
Tribune, MIXED fourteen cows and set the
foaming lacteal fluid upon the tables.
Editor Kelly of the Reno Journal. with
a detachment of State officials, invaded
the orchard for more apples and pears,
but they had all been sold to supply
the clamorous California demand.
When the party broke up over 100 people
were pretty thoroughly convinced that the
Holstein ranch was no myth and that the
honest farmer OF Nevada can raise some
thing besides sagebrush.

HE MADE A FAIR HAUL.
Safe and CaSh-DraWer Emp
tied of Their Silver and
Gold.
DASHED AWAY WITH THE LOOT
Loungers In Front of the Building
We're ignorant of the Daring
Robbery.

COLUSA, CAL, Oct. 8.-The Farmers
Cash store at Arbuckle was held up last
night by a single highwayman. The safe
and cash-drawer were robbed of about $150.
William Evans, the clerk, was alone in
the store. Mr.. Murdoch, the manager,
and mum Der of others were sitting on
the sidewalk in front of the store. Young
Evans was wrapping up ham. when the
back door opened and man with potato
sack over his head stepped in and leveled
a shotgun at his head, commanding him
to go into the office. Evans, thinking his
visitor was some practical joker, hesitated.
"Move on; mean what I say" ordered
the robber, and Evans did as directed.
The robber, noticing gun near by, told
Evans to step back, and after securing the
weapon ordered Evans to open the safe
and put the contents in a sack which he
held. After looting the safe the robber
told him to go to the cash-drawer and give
him what 1t contained. Evans started,
the robber following close behind with the
gun still leveled at his head. After secur-
ing the silver out of the drawer, about $35
in gold in the back part of the drawer be-
ing overlooked, the robber said:
"Now, when l say go you go, and when
| say stop you stop and you won't get
into any trouble. Now, go out the back
door and up the alley"
Evans went out and up the alley about
100 feet, wher the masked man, who had
followed behind, told him to halt and re-
turn to the store. Evans lost no time in
getting back and gave the alarm to the
loungers in front of the store, who had
remained in ignorance. Parties started in
pursuit at once, searching the surround
ing country, but without avail.
People in the lower part of town saw a
man pass on horseback on a fast run
shortly after the robbery.
The robber was of medium size, wore
overalls and judging from the tracks in
the alley had on brogan shoes with large
tacks in them.

Rich Quartz Specimens.

NEVADA CITY, CAL, Oct. 8..-For some
days past there has been on exhibition in
this city marvellous specimen of what
the quartz veins of this county are capable
of doing. Mr.. Fiske, who owns quartz
mine few miles from here, extracted
several rich and beautiful specimens from
the vein in his mine. These specimens
were artistically constructed in the shape
of bell, which was appropriately desig-
mated the BELL of Fall Creek
The bell is composed. of 11S nuggets,
ranging in value fiom 81 to SIS each. A
magnificent photograph of this collection
of gems has been taken, which will be sent
East as an evidence of the wonderful
mineral resources of Nevada County.

FEUD OF ROUND VALLEY,
Authentic Details of the Re-
ported Lynching Are
Lacking.
Rumors OF Further Fighting Be-
tween the White and
Palmer Factions.

UK1AH, CAL, Oct. 8.-As yet there has
been nothing to verify the report received
here from Round Valley yesterday that
two additional lynchings had taken place
at Red Mountain. Sheriff Johnson has
received no official notification of the af-
fair. 1t is difficult matter to get reliable
reports, as Red Mountain is some thirty
miles from Covelo. the nearest town, and
from Covelo to Laytonville, the nearest
telegraph office, the distance is twenty
seven miles.
report was current to-day to the effect
that the victims of Saturdays affair were
Brady Tuttle and John Rohrbough. The
truth OF the report is, however, doubted by
many, though additional rumors of a con-
f1ict between the rival ranch-hands were
circulated to-day.
In an interview with THE CALL CORE
spondent on Saturday George E. White,
the Mendocino Cattle King, had stated
that John S. Rohrbough and J. NJ. Yinton
were marked men and were to be killed
by the Palmer faction at the first oppor-
tunity. Clarence White, who killed John
d. Wathen, alias Wylackie J ohm, and who
is brother-in-aw of the Cattle King, is
in town, but refuses to say anything con-
corning affairs in Round Valley. George
E. White left here for Rio Vista on Sunday.

A SAN JOSE MUNCHAUSEN
Sensational Charges AgainS ST
Mrs. Golden Denounced
as Untrue.
The Accused Woman Throws Light
on the Reason for Their Pub
lIoation.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. S.--A sensational
story was published in the San Francisco
Chronicle to-day, in which Mrs. A. Golden
of this city was charged with having en-
tered into conspiracy to have her hus-
bands life insured and then poison him to
get the money. The story purports to be
the sworn statement of Fred McCull ough,
formerly employed by the Goldens in their
fruit and candy store, 81 North First
street. The alleged facts of the case are
said to have been developed by Erwin
Frost, who said he sold the story to the
Chronicle for large sum.
Regarding the story Mrs. Golden said
to-day: "The statement that l told Nc
Cullough l was going to poison my hus-
band is utterly false. l never even inti-
mated that | wished to do away with my
husband. 1t is a lie made out of whole
cloth, and ! don't believe that Mccullough
ever made such statement. The whole
story is but the result of Erwin Frost's
spite against US.
Erred Mccullough came to US last win
ter and told US that as he had no place to
stop he would work for us until spring for
his board. lodging and washing. After
being in our employ for nearly four
months Mccullough quit one Saturday on
his own accord. The next Monday Erwin
Frost came into the store with bill for
wages due Mccullough for 116 days work
at 81 day. We refused to pay the claim.
Frost brought suit against US. It appears
that Mccullough agreed to give Frost all
Frost paid all the expenses of a suit and a
verdict was rendered in our favor. This is

ILL BUT A FEW DAYS.
Stricken by Heart Troubles
While Hunting in the
Mountains.
LOVED STRIFE AT THE BAR
He Left the Bench Because He Pre-
ferred to Plead Rather Than
Judge.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct. s.
Judge Anson Brunson died suddenly in
his rooms at the Stewart Hotel at 4:3O
o'clock this morning. His death was en-
tirely unsuspected, and few of his friends
knew even that he was ILL.,
About ten days ago Judge Brunson went
to Squirrel Inn, on the San Bernardino
Mountains, fourteen miles north of here,
and had weeks good sport hunting and
fishing in Bear Valley.
On Friday evening he was taken i'll with
heart and stomach troubles. On Sunday
a telephone message was received from the
Inn requesting an ambulance, and on
Monday morning the patient was brought
down. He began to sink as soon as he
reached here, and no skill could stimulate
his heart action. The principal cause of
death was heart failure.
Judge Brunson was easily at the head of
the bar of Southern California. He was
born in 1884 in Lorain County, Ohio, at
tended Kern College and was graduated
from Ann Arbor University. He studied
law at Eaton Rapids, Michigan, and at the
age of 81 removed to California, taking up
the practice OF law at Napa, where he re-
mained five years, removing thence to Los
Angeles, where he resided continuously
until year ago, when he removed here.
Ten years ago be was elected Superior
Judge for Los Angeles County, but his
energetic mind rebelled at the peace of
the bench after twenty years of warfare
at the bar. He loved strife with giant
lawyers, and after few months of service
resigned. Subsequently he became the
counsel of the Santa Fe Railroad and held
the position until falling health warned
him TO cease labors for a time. He made a
visit to Honolulu, and on his return came
to this city and formed partnership with
Elmer E. Rowell, whose unprofessional
conduct a few weeks ago caused Judge
Brunson no little perturbation.
DR.. Brunson was lover of art, and had
one of the finest collections of paintings in
this part of the State.
His only relatives were brother, DR.. E.
Brunson of Redondo, who was at his bed
side, and a married daughter living in
Illinois. The funeral will be held to-mor-
row afternoon from the courthouse,
Masons and Knights of Pythias joining
with the bar in the last honors.

STEAMERS TO CARRY OIL,
Product of the Los Angeles
Wells to Be Transported
by Water.
The First Vessel VIII Leave for San
Francisco Within Thirty
Days.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. soil men
are iubilant tonight, for before another
day passes a contract will be signed with
responsible parties who are to furnish an
outlet for their surplus product and en-
able it to reach the San Francisco market.
The Oil Exchange was in executive session
nearly all day, and although the names OF
the parties with whom the contract is to
be made are withheld. they are understood
to be combination of local and Eastern
capitalists. The coming into the field of
the Standard Oil Company has had the
effect of bringing the negotiations to a
speedy and successful conclusion. A
prominent oil man said tonight:
"The contract tomorrow will provide
for freight steamer or steamers to ply
between either Redondo, Santa Monica or
San Pedro and San Francisco. which will
handle the oil of the exchange exclusively.
AT present shipments will be made by rail
to the seaport, but If the business warrants
1t pipe l:ne will ultimately be built. The
exchange will guarantee sufficient oil
to keep the vessel busy, and, as
there is already a demand in San
francisco, as soon as the oil can
be delivered, for 1000 barrels daily which
can easily be increased to 5000, transport
ing it will be a profitable business. The
time of the contract Will be three years,
and the amount involved in carrying it
out about $S00,000. AS far as the Standard
Oil Company is concerned we are glad to
have it in the field, but as we now control
almost the entire output and have access
to market that will use all our surplus,
if the Standard people desire to purchase
they will have to come in on the same
footing as other buyers"
The first oil steamer will leave for San
Francisco within thirty days.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 8.--The National
officers and executive council of the Irish
National Alliance has issued the follow
ing appeal:
Headquarters Irish National Alliance, octo-
ber u, 1895. To All Friends of Irish Inde-
pendence: The convention which recently
organized in Chicago the Irish National
Alliance has placed its guidance and govern
ment in the hands OF the undersigned for the
ensuing two years. The purpose OF the alli-
nee has already been sufficiently proclaimed
TO obtain the complete independence of Ire
land by any means consistent with the laws of
nations.
Organizations, like governments, have TO de-
pend on their revenue for the successful ac-
complishment of their duties. The sinews of
war for both are absolutely necessary, both for
organization and propaganda England, the
arch-enemy of Ireland has at her disposal i'm
mense resources, the accumulation of CEN
turles OF conquest and piracy. She has 1t in
power to control and mold public opinion in
ner own interests Even in free America she
possesses this power to an astonishing extent.
Her SIDE OF the Irish question has filed the
american mind for q quarter OF century
ever since Irelands friends at home and
abroad committed the costly fault of trusting
10 farnamentary agitation to achieve the lib
erty OF their motherhood.
NOW, however, totally different policy has
Deen lnaugurated. The absolute claim of Ire
land 10 distinct national life has been placed
Iorcioly before the world by the unanimous
Volee ot the recent Irish National convention
aside and the national demand of Ireland,
which slumbered but did not die, is again in
the ascendant We are determined that it
snail so remain, and that no effort OF ours, no
sacrifice on our part, will be lett untried or un-
performed until victory crowns our successful
cause.
We appeal, therefore. to all friends of the In
dependence of Ireland to aid US in this good
work by placing at our disposal the means
requisite Tor its accomplishment You are
asked to subscribe in accordance with your
means and to forward your subscription as
speedily as possible to the treasurer OF the Irish

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 8.-When the
case of Louis Eberle, charged with en-
bezzling valuable mare belonging to Mrs.
Josephine Hager, came up for trial in
Judge Lorigan's court this morning, the
prosecuting witness failed to put IN an ap-
pearance. The case was dismissed and
the defendant discharged.
Eberle was brought back from Oakland
several months ago, and has since been in
Jail awaiting trial. He borrowed the mare
in question from Mrs. Hager to ride to
Oakland, and short time after notified
Mrs. Hager that the horse had fallen over
an embankment and broken it's neck. This
did not satisfy Mrs. Hager, and she had
him arrested. The officers have failed to
locate the mare, dead or alive.
Since Eberle has been in Jail Mrs. Hager
has changed her mind about prosecuting
him, and she has mysteriously diappeared.
