BEATEN WITH A WEIGHT.

Henry Otto, a Grocer, Arrested for As
sau1t to Murder.
Henry Otto, grocer at Twenty-fifth street
and Bryant avenue, was arrested late last
night by Sergeant Burke and Policeman
Porter andsstaken to the Seventeenth-street
station, where he was booked on a charge
of assault to murder.
Albert Kahn, whose father owns the
stockyards on the Mission road, near the
Five-mile House, was drinking at Otto's
bar when he used an insulting expression
to Otto. The latter retorted, when Kahn
asked him to come outside and fight it
out.
More angry words passed between them
and Kahn went outside, where he repeated
the expression. Otto grabbed tive-ounce
weight and rushed at Kahn. He knocked
him down and beat him on the head till
the blood flowed; then he desisted.
Kahn was taken to the City and County
Hospital in the patrol-wagon, where seven
stitches were put in the wounds on his
head. He was then driven to his father S
residence. His injuries may prove serious.

the mining camps everywhere he went.
The Piute Indians got bad one time and a
party was organized in the camps to go
out against them. Sam joined the volun-
teers and every body in the party and all
that stayed behind were talking about the
big deeds Sam Brown would do and chuck
ling to think how those redskins would be
tired out when they ran up against him.
Well, when they came upon the In
dams things didn't turn out quite as they
had expected. 1t was the whites that got
knocked out in short order, and those that
weren't left on'the ground stampeded for
safety. Sam Brown was one of the first
whites to run and the pace he set his horse
at to get away from those redskins was
something that beat quarter racing in the
way OF reckless riding. AS they stampeded
down canyon, every man trying to be
foremost to get away, Sam hailed Joe
McMurtrie, who was riding better horse
than his:
"'Oh, Mac! Pull your horse little so
| can come up. Well ride safer together
"McMurtrie's answer to that friendly
invitation was to bend down to his horses
neck, set in the spurs and get out of that
canyon ahead of Sam and back to Bodie as
fast as hoofs could carry him. He knew
Sam Brown, and that if that worthy once
got alongide him he wouldn't hesitate to
shoot him off his horse so as to get better

the other children translate for them when
they cannot understand. "And then you
see," she said, showing book filled with
pictures of the birds of the air and the
beasts of the field, "all those creatures have
the names in French written under them
so that the children's eyes teach them a
great deal"
The LIE Conte school is entirely managed
by Madame Marshall, formerly principal
of the Cosmopolitan school. Her class is
advanced, as it has been in existence since
last September. The Alliance begged
Madame Marshall to take any children it
might send into her class, and it pays for
them, instead of letting the parents do so.
There are thirty-four children in the lie
Conte school. but the classes take place
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
from $3.50 to 5 P. NJ, instead of every day
during the school week.
The French Alliance is entirely non-sec-
tartan. Parents who send their children
to its school are expected to pay a nominal
monthly subscription, but the work is
really labor of love among some of the
French residents. Daniel Levy is the
president, and the following gentlemen
compose the board of managers: Charles
L. P. Marais, M. l. de Chantreau, Alphonse
Bousquet, Albert Arnaud, Charles Rous-
seau, Charles CRETE, Paul Dubois, M. L. C.
Berlin, Adolphe Loiseau.

FIGHTING INDIANS.
1t Takes Kind OF Courage That Men
Frequently Lack.


Frequently Lack.
"It takes a special kind of courage to
fight Indians" said Major Edward Rags
dale at the 'Little Gem" in Topeka
They're pretty sure to surprise you, and
they're slippery as quicksilver and as hard
to catch. Their yelling and whooping
alone are enough to stampede men not
trained to their style of fighting. Some
times they fight under cover, and you
catch fire from an enemy you can't get
sight of, and again, where there hasn't
been one to be seen, they seem all to spring
out of the ground at once and charge YOU
as though nothing could stand their onset.
Then there's the knowledge that if they
catch you alive you'll be skinned alive or
burned or your life tortured out of you by
slow degrees in thousand other ways they
can think of to make you suffer. There's
many a stout-hearted desperate, terror
in white settlements and not afraid to
have pistol or shotgun scrap at any hour
of the day or night with man of his own
color, who doesn't count for row of pins
in an Indian fight.
"Take Sam Brown of Nevada for a case
in point. He was not afraid of any man
that wore boots and he was the terror of

ident in 1886 and recognized by the French
Government as of public utility. Its OBJ
ject is to do missionary work for the
French language, making its dulcet &C
cents as familiar to the ends of the earth
as they are on the boulevards of Paris.
The San Francisco branch of the Alliance
has been in existence for some years and
the members have always cherished the
hope of some day opening classes very
much on the lines of the Italian schools.
Last month they commenced work in ear
nest by obtaining permission from the
Board of Education to use the schools best
situated for the French population, the
Washington and the Whittier. Professors
were appointed and the classes are just
getting into running order.
NJ. Lamare, professor, well known in
San Francisco and Berkeley, has been ap-
pointed to the Washington School. He

at takes time to bring them all up to
the same standard" said the professor, as
he dismissed his class at 5 o'clock, "but
those who cannot speak French will soon
learn from those who can"
At the Whittier School, on Harrison
street, Nine. Leonie Bousq uet, who has
been a teacher in the public schools in
France, conducts a class of twenty-three
children. The majority of them are girls,
and with two exceptions they are French,
so that the lessons go as if on oiled wheels.
Nine. BOusquet says that the two Ameri-

"The newspapers tell US how the weevil
is destroying thousands of tons OF wheat, "
continued Mr.. Gleeser, "while at the same
time men and women are going hungry
because they have no work. Suppose this
wheat was turned over to them for their
labor would it not be a great blessing, not
only to the persons directly benefited, but
to all Californians ?''
G. B. de Bernardo, author of 'Trials and
Triumphs of Labor" is the father of the
movement, as his book, which teaches that
the legal tender" act is responsible for
the great handicap on labor, is its gospel.
The movement languished, however, until
the great crash of '93, when the real prop
uganda began and under the educating in
fiuence of very hard times has thrived
greatly. The past year it has received a
great impetus.
Carl Gleeser was commissioned State
organizer for California in July of last year
and now there is scarcely county in the
State where there is not an active branch
with growing members. Mr.. Gleeser's
headquarters is at 30 Tenth street, where
he publishes a little journal in the inter
ests of the order, called Living Issues.

Edna Good, delighted the audience with
her songs and rotations.

MONEY WILL NOT
Be REQUIRED.
The NEWLY INSTITUTED LABOR
EXCHANGE WILL ABOLISH
POVERTY.
APPEAL TO THESUPERVISORS.
A COOPERATIVE SYSTEM THAT
WILL PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT
FOR ALL.

A committee of the Labor Exchange will
go before the Finance Committee of the
Board of Supervisors tomorrow and urge
the adoption of their plan for the issuance
of 81 600, 600 worth of bonds or warrants in
small denominations, receivable by the
city for taxes. The bonds or warrants
would be paid to any workmen who would
accept them for labor on public works.
This is one way by which the Labor Ex-
change hopes to give work to the unem-
ployed and prove the uselessness of illegal
tender" money and the absolute sin of in
terest.
The Labor Exchange has attracted pub
lie notice of late and some interest is man.
Tested in its theories and operation. It's
fundamental purpose is to give work to the
unemployed.
The exchange processes to have solved
the riddle of hard times, and to be pre-
pared to Danish them the moment its doc
trines are accepted. It processes to be
the only one of its kind that is ready to
bring relief at once and to all. All other
systems, the exchange founders say, re-
quire political majorities, or If not that,
then the tearing up of all the social rela-
tions OF a sufficient number of people and
the isolating of these into communities
and thus the beginning OF life again.
Its cardinal principle is to snub money;
not the love of money, but the money
itself. That men should trade in money
and charge high prices for what is sim
ply designed as a medium of exchange
and should represent actual product is,
they say, at the bottom of all the trouble.
So the Labor Exchange has labor check
of its own which it issues to any one who
gives value for it. No such thing as inter-
est shall ever contaminate this check. 1t
represents value always. The farmer who
brings wheat to the exchange gets his
check for the value and may turn the
check into boots, blankets or whatever he
wishes, just as he would with money. 1t
has nowhere reached that point, but the
local organizer, Carl Gleeser, declares that
