A NEW GUN MANDATORY
The Ostrander People Will
Probably Come to San
Francisco.
THE PLANT NOW IN BOSTON.
Sacramento Makes a Strong Bid,
but Colonel Cochran Pre-
fers This City.

very determined effort is being made
10 brng the entire plant of the Ostrander
Repeating Gun Company. now located in
Boston, to San Francisco. If the project
ors OF the enterprise meet with the proper
encouragement from the people they think
should interest themselves in the matter
the plant will be well on its way to this
coast within the next sixty days.
The gun is the invention of Willis H.
Ostrander of MERGED and is in many re-
spects the most wonderful double barrel
gun yet invented. Except for a little
leather covering some eight inches above
the breech the 0strander gun does not
differ materially, so far as appearances go,
from the ordinary hammerless breech-
loader. In its mechanical arrangement,
however, the difference lies, and this is so
.erfect that wherever shown the true
sportsman has at once pronounced it the
most perfect double breech-loader on the
market.
The Ostrander is capable of firing four
shots in second and a half, and can be
made ready for as many more within forty
seconds from the time the first shots were
fired. In firing the four shots it is not
necessary to move the gun from the shout
der, neither does the relative position of
the arm change, thereby losing the origi-
nal aim. The breaking of the gun at the
breech, when it slides forward on a securely
constructed forearm, elects the two shells

device replaces the discharged cartridges
with two fresh ones from the magazine.

thirst of the weary traveller. The genius
of Samuel Woodwork was recognized by
Clinton, Webster, Charming. Everett,
Halleck, Story and Sir Walter Scott.
The sold Oaken Bucket" was written in
the summer of 1917. The family reminis-
cence concerning its production is thus
told in George P. Morris introduction to
Mr.. Woodworths poems:
The family was living at the time on Duane
street, New York. The poet came home TO din
ner one very warm day, having walked from
his ONCE, near the foot of Wall street. Being
much heated with the exercise ne drank a
glass of water-New York pump water-ex-
claiming, as he replaced the water on the Ia
bic, "That is very refreshing, but how much
more refreshing would it be to take q good long
draught this warm day from the old oaken
bucket L left hanging in my fathers we'll at
home.'
Hearing this, the poets wife, who was al
ways a suggestive body, said: 'Selim, why
wouldn't that be pretty subject for poem q"
The poet took the hint, and under the inspi-
ration OF the moment sat down and poured out
from the very depth of his heart those beauti-
full lines which have immortalized the name of
Woodwork.
Samuel Woodwork also wrote dramatic
poem entitled the Forest Rose" which

The LOST LADY SHOLT0,
No Trace Found OF Young
Lord Douglas and His Fair
Loretta.
Broken Hearts and Broken Con-
tracts We're Left Behind-A Mad
Manager.

Lady Sholto Douglas is still among the
missing. Two weeks ago last night she
disappeared, leaving behind her sorrow
ing mother and brother, disappointed
audience and disguised and mad man
ager.
She was billed to appear at the Audi
forum; but the curtain went up and the
curtain went down, and she appeared not.
1t was rumored that her ladyship had
gone to Los Gatos to join her liege lord,
who dropped out of society and sight at
the same time.
When plump little Loretta Adds was
"doing turn" in dive in Bakersfield
with her brother it was the ambition OF
her life to shine some day on real stage
in big city, as two of her sisters had done
before her. She never dreamed then of
beaming before the footlights as a real
"lady"; but Lord Sholto Douglas came
along and won her susceptible heart, and
the story OF their love and marriage is
known.
Before they were married Loretta ac-
cepted a three weeks engagement at the
Auditorium. greatly to the displeasure OF
her ardent sutton. She performed at the
Eddy-street house one week, and the big
theater was filled each night.
The second week opened with a packed
house and flowers in profusion had been
prepared to shower on the popular favor
lite. But the flowers wilted waiting for the
glad sunshine of sweet Lady Shoito's
smile. She smiled not. Manager Moore
did not smile either. Broken hearts are
soon mended, but broken contracts are
not, and the manager had one of the latter
on his hands. To all Lady Sholto's friends
she is lost, but that she is with her hus-
band there is apparently no doubt.
NO. don't know where Lady Sholto
Is" said Manager Moore last night, "but
ia like to know. I've got a contract I'd
like to enforce her ladyship to complete,
or know the reason why. Her mother
does not know where she is, am sure, for
she is in distress. her daughter having
been her main support. She had made a
big hit in the house, and her going away
in the manner in which she did has made
considerable difference to me. | heard to-
day that she was in town having trous-

FranciSco," said Colonel A. z. Cochran
Yesterday, land we will do so the proper
sort of inducenent is held out to US. The
present home of the company is Sc New
street. East Boston, but we think that as
this is California invention it would do
now 100 guns completed, and our success
is assured.
while there has been an evolution in
powder shotguns have not kept pace by
any means. The new nitro-powders have
proven disastrous to many of the best
weapons now on the market, yet the Os-
trander has shown itself capable of firing,
without danger, almost any quantity of
powder.
'If we can make the necessary arrange
ments the entire plant-the machinery
alone costing over $40 000-will be removed
to San Francisco and the manufacture of
the gun commenced at once. The factory
will employ at first forty men, but in a
years time this number will be increased
to 100 with annual output of 10000 guns.
This will be the only gun mandatory
west of the Mississippi, and, as conse-
quence, not considering the extraordinary
merit of the Ostrander as perfect weapon,
we should control the entire business OF
the Western States.
''There will be about sixty tons of freight
to be moved, at cost oil So a ton. Sacra-
mento is willing to put up the money and
give US the ground If necessary, in order to
secure the mandatory, but our preference
is San Francisco. Now is a good oppor-
tunitv for the late movement to encourage
manufacturers to come to the coast to give
some evidence of its earnestness.
There are many features about this
gun that have never been brought to the
notice OF the people. For instance, the
stock is so arranged that by little work
the barrel of any other gun can be fitted to
it, and for ordinary purposes the combina-

term of his apprenticeship expired, in 1906
In 1907 he published a weekly paper at
New Haven, entitled the Bellies Lettres
Repository.
He went from New Haven to Baltimore
and thence to New York, where, in 1910,
he married an amiable young lady to
whom was born large number OF chill
dren. Two of his daughters, Mrs. James
S. Wethered and Mrs. Georgiana Beebe,
are now residing in San Francisco. Two
of his sons were in early years closely
identified with the fortunes of this COM
monwealth. These sons were Commodore
Selim E. Woodwork and Frederick A.
Woodworth. The former had charge of
the expedition sent to rescue the Bonner
Lake party, and the latter was a well
known pioneer. Both have gone to Laurel
Hill.
During the contest between the United
States and Great Britain--the war in
which the British burned the National
Capitol at ngton-Samuel Wood
worth conducted a weekly newspaper in
New York, entitled The War, in which he
chronicled American victories by land and
sea.
He edited at the same time monthly
| magazine called the 'Halcyon Luminary

the PRONUNCIATION of the doctrines of the
New Church (Swedenborgian) of which he
was sincere professor. His grandsons,

ton will be just as useful as genuine

ntted to the stock, which, of course, gives
1t advantages over many of the more
prominent makes. The machinery used
in the factory is also capable of doing
other classes Of work, such, in facts as is
now brought here from the East.
Mr.. Swift was in Sacramento a few
days ago, when the gun was given very
thorough trial by the sportsmen of that
city. Every person who handled it said
1t was the most perfect weapon they had

PLEADS HER OWN CAUSE,
Mrs. Kate Murphy Is Charged
With Disturbing the
Peace.
She Did So Well That Judge Camp
bell Reserved His Decision
Till Saturday.

The unusual spectacle of a woman
defendant acting as her own attorney was
witnessed in Judge CampbelPs court yes
terday afternoon. The defendant was Mrs
Kate Murphy and although she showed an
entire unacquaintanee with the rules of
evidence she cross-examined the witnesses
for the prosecution with skill and point.
The spectators were kept in state of per-
petual laughter.
She was charged with disturbing the
peace on the night of June 10, the COM
planning witness being Mrs. Maude
kaunam, 249 Fifth street, her next-door
neighbor. Mrs. kaunam and her mother,
Mrs. Margaret Becker, testified that on the
night in question Mrs. Murphy entered
their house while some friends were play
ing cards in the parlor and made use of
language that was more forcible than
polite. When they got her outside and
shut the front door she kicked at the door
and raised disturbance.
Mrs. Murphy in her cross-examination
devoted herself to asking questions about
whether, they were married and other per-
sonal matters and kept Attorney Frey for
the prosecution busy interposing oblec-
tons. 1t was impossible to keep her to
what occurred on the night in question
and the Judge had to shut her off.
Another witness was +. B. Brennan, a
81.
ply accused him of not telling the truth,
and caused an uproar by asking, "Are you
an opium fiend?" The Judge finally ad-
vised Brennan to leave the witness stand
to save himself from further person ques-
tons.
In beginning her address Mrs. Murphy
faced Mrs Kaunam and Mrs. Becker, and
pointing her finger at them said, II stand
to-day and look you squarely in the face
Before she could proceed further the Judge
insisted upon her addressing him. "Well,
your Honor, the Judge" she continued, 81
have befriended these women for years |
have become their security at the corner

the mother of two children. l love them.
l would die for them. l am a respecta Bile
woman and / want to have nothing to do
with these people. / have done with
them" Being reminded that she had said
nothing about the charge against her, she
said it was all false. She simply called
| upon them in neighborly way.
The Jddge said he would give his deci-
sion on Saturday, and advised Mrs. Muir
ply to keep away from Mrs. Kaunam and
Mrs. Becker.
II hope" said Mrs. Murphy in a loud
| voice, that will be paralyzed if I ever
darken their door again. Never! never
neverv' This was received with derisive
laughter by Mrs. Kaunam and Mrs.
Becker, and the Judge adjourned court in
hurry.

THE ANGEL ON THE DOME,
She Provokes Still Another
Entertaining Art Dis
CuSSiOn.
She Makes Mayor Sutro Shudder.
Auditor Frederick Favors a Bear
for the Place.

The City Hall Commission took another
fall out of the angel of the dome yesterday,
but neither the angel nor the dome nor
the City Hall Commission seems to be bet
ter or worse for it, Sculptor Marion Wells
was granted ninety days extension of
his contract, since the commission is una
BILE to decide upon the material in which
the big statue is to be cast.
The weekly discussions Of the winged
figure are beginning to be feature of life
at the City Hail. and if they continue will
doubtless soon attract crowds of art critics
and connoisseurs.
The topic was introduced by commune
cation from Superintendent of Construc-
ton Mellis in answer to one from the COM
mission requesting some advice on the
metal in which big statues should be cast.
1t was only necessary to speak of the statue
to provoke SILVER on the part of the
Mayor. 1t was vulgar, and the thought of
such creature standing forever on the
most conspicuous elevation OF the hall
