TUCKER IS BOLD
he DErIANTLY SLABS JUDGE REED
IN TIE CASE
Judge Reed Order the Omcers to Hold Con
kelliher on a Writ of habeas Corpus
Tucker Afterwards Calls Up the same
Case and Commits the Prisoner to the
County JaiI-Some of the Lawyers Say
Tucker is Liable to have Con keiiiher in
the Penitentiary Before the District
Court can Get q Chance to Try the Case.

Since Seth Tucker has superseded
Judge Hatton on the bench OF the po-
lice court he is going 10 show the pro-
hibs that they now have police judge
that they can be proud Of and he yes
terday judicially slapped Judge Reed
in the face.
This new creation Of Tiger Bits has
flguratively spat upon process Of the
district court and has set himself up as
the car OF all the Wichitas.
Yesterday at eleven o'clock a. m,
when Harry Sutton, assistant chief of
police and deputy sheriff held Con
kelleher under a warrant issued by
Judge Tucker who acted in the capaci-
ty OF a justice of the peace he was
served with writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Reed of the district
court
The writ charged Officer Sutton to
hold mis- prisoner until Saturday at a.
m. and at that time produce him in
the district court.
Car Tucker was not TO be discommo-
ded by any orders or processes Of the
district court and yesterday afternoon
he called the kelleher case and when
Kelleher who was present answered
mot guilty Tucker said: Well, l
will place your bond at $500"
well 1 Will not give it," answered
Kelleher.
Then L will commit you to the coun-
ty jail" retorted the ear and he issued
a commitment and ordered Officer SUIT
ton to take him to the county Jail.
Harry Sutton oheyed and delivered his
prisoner to Sheriff Royse.
Some of the leading attorneys in the
city last night greatly enjoyed the pro-
ceedings of the police judge and de-
clared it irregular and disrespectful
to the superior court as ii is usual in
such cases TO stop all further proceed
ings until the higher court has heard
and determined the habeas corpus
case.
Some of the lawyers claimed that
Judge Reed would hold Tucker in con-
tempt but upon reflection they added
that all the higher courts looked len
iently upon the mistakes of justice OF
the peace and that Judge Reed would
hardly pay any attention to the pro-
ceedings of Police Judge Tucker.
While they took this view of the case
some of the attorneys declared that
Seth Tucker does not care the least
for the district court and they would
not be surprised any day to hear of his
sending some violators of the prohibit
tory law 10 the penitentiary in defiance
of the higher courts.
Seth Tucker is a genuine prohibition
list and he will not permit any monkey
business with his court by any of the
higher courts of the state. He was not
made police judge for that purpose and
some of the lawyers declare that this
judicial car is liable at any time to
make some startling decisions. Tuck

The Tobacco War.

The present war existing between the
big plug tobacco manufacturers, is
proving very interesting for the con-
sumers, they being the only ones who
are profiting by this war. The manu-
facturers are unquestionably losing a
great deal Of money, and. as far as we
can see, the whole cause of the war is
on account of a brand Of plug tobacco
called Battle Ak" which appears to be
as powerful weapon as its name i'm
plies. The manufacturers of Battle
AK" claim it to be the largest piece of
high grade goods ever sold for the mon
ey. And the success of the brand, the
enormous quantity which is being sold,
clearly demonstrates that the consum
ers have not been slow in detecting the
fact that they have bargain. This has
caused the demand for the other hereto
fore popular brands to be greatly di-
minished. Hence the present great to-

HOMER PRIEST NAY GET WELL
Quart OF Whisky Fails to lntoxicate 30,
Bitten by kattlesnake.

Tuesday evening Homer Priest, sew
en- year old boy living with his parents
five miles north of the city was bitten
by a rattlesnake last night. DR.. For
dyce. who was called, reported to the
Eagle that the boy would recover. The
boy was walking down the sidewalk
between the barn and the house. A pet
dog had found the snake and aroused
its ferocity, so that when Homer came
along ii struck. sinking it's fang into
mis- left foot. The parents rushed out
and killed the snake which was a large
one with six buttons on its tail. Short
" after this the bitten foot turned
very green. When the doctor arrived
he began TO pour whisl<ey down the
child. In the last twenty-four hours,
Homer has taken one quart of whisky
with no indication of intOxication. the
liquor being neutraliZed by the dread
full poison of the serpent.

To the Editor or the Eagle
Il am Prohibitionist and ! do not

tor of the Eagle would be fair on this

at the corner and told him that
he must not walk with her any
further. The cook then grasped her arm
again, and, as she struggled to get
away, drew his revolver, and, placing the
muzzle against her breast, fired. The un-
fortunate girl fell dead at his feet with out
cry. A crowd quickly gathered and a
police whistle was sounded, but before
hand could be laid upon the murderer he
turned his weapon on himself, and fell to
the sidewalk beside the unfortunate young
woman.
Charles G. Finsterbusch, baker, was a
witness to the shooting. He heard Miss
and at the same time disengaged her arm
which Woods insisted upon holding.
Woods Immediately replaced his arm, and
according to Finsterbusch, drew revolver
from his pocket, placed it against her
breast and fired.
A moment later he fired the shot into
his own body.
Mr.. Kent, father of the dead girl, said
that his daughter came here from Canada
in last September, and met Woods for the
first time on the steamer Walla Walla on
the way down from Victoria. An acquaint-
ance sprang up between the two, which.
unknown to Miss Kent's family, ripened
into a too intimate acquaintance. Miss
Kent. in last May, told her father that
Woods had insulted her, and her brother
Frank wrote Woods threatening letter.
A letter found on Woods body from the
murdered girl showed that at one time she
was desperately IN love with him. and
that they were engaged to be married.
Miss Kent addressed him as, "My dear
lover" and wound up the letter with:
"Your loving and intended MABEL"
A portion of the letter gives the impress
sion that there was more between the two
than the world knew, for one paragraph
reads:
II shall never feel the same girl again,
but it is of no use now, as you say"
Miss Kent evidently had tired of the
attentions of Woods when she learned the
character Of his affection for her, and the
cook, crazed by her scorn, decided to kill
the girl and himself.

THE MEG HAN|CS' EXHIBIT.
Meeting of the Institute to
Arouse Enthusiasm for
the Fair.
More Novel and Interesting Exhibits
VIII Be Made Than Ever
Before.

A meeting of the Mechanics Institute
was held last night to discuss and arrange
matters relative to the annual fair which
Is to open on the 18th of August.
The meeting was to have been attended
by delegates from the several progressive
organizations of the City, but owing to
some mistake in sending out the notices
only few of the associations were repre-
sented. The discussion therefore was in
formal.
A communication was received from W.
G. Doane, chairman of the committee on
publicity and promotion, in answer to a re-
quest that committee OF three be ap-
pointed to solicit attendance of mem bers
and exhibits of local manufacture at the
fair. Mr.. Doane wrote that it was his un-
derstanding the entire matter had been
left in the hands of the committee on pub
licity and promotion, and that the COM
mittee was acting in the premises as
rapidly as possible.
There ensued a desultory discussion
among the few present as to the most eff
fectual methods to be applied in working
UP the enthusiasm of local manufacturers.
From the reports made it appears that the
smaller and newer manufacturing firms
are the ones to manifest the greatest inter-
est. The older and larger concerns seem
apathetic and have not yet determined
whether they will make any exhibits.
Secretary Culvers report was encourag-
ing. He said in many respects the fair
would be the most intere sting ever held by
the Institute, inasmuch as the exhibits
would be of an entirely different character.
Instead of the bookbinder, for instance,
having on display a few machines and
specimens of his work. he will have his
machines in operation and books will be
carried through the process of binding,
printing of the title on the cover. Ink
manufacturers, iron-worke rs and all other
exhibitors in the mechanical arts will have
their machinery in operation turning out
their wares before the eyes of the daily Wis
itors to the fair. Heretofore. says the Sec
retary, it has been too much like walking
down Market or Kearny street. The stores
had simply been moved in part up to the
Pavilion.
Another meeting will be held Friday
evening.

BUCKLEYS FATTED CALF.
Prodigal Democratic Sons Are
Asked to Return and Be
Forgiven.
A Meeting Is Called for This Even
Ing at the Old Manhattan
Club House.

Christopher Buckley has ordered the
finest fatted calf from his Livermore farm
killed, dressed and cooked that his prodi-
gal Democratic sons who will return to the
folds of the Manhattan, now called the
Occidental, Club may be fed and cheered
John Mccarthy of the late Gagan Grand
Jury, president of the club, and ex-Super-
visor P. F. Dundon, its secretary. have is
sued printed invitations calling an assem-
blage of Democratic wisdom of the style
much in vogue prior to the time when
Chris Buckley chased out of the State
about ten feet in advance of Wallace
Grand Jury indictment.
The meeting will undoubtedly be remi-
nlscent, as Taine would say of the IAN
cient res sime." No man will be admitted
who cannot show where he was originally
branded. A fine time is expected if the
steam beer holds out, and unless the wise-
acres are much at fault there will be a
least OF reason and flow of soul out of
which viii emanate q reorganized system
that will bring JOY to the soul of the heeIer.
The credentials at the door will be ex-
amlned by the "Banjo-eyed Kid" There
will be short addresses delivered by "Peg-
leg Daily and Garibaldi Flynn.
Max Pepper has been reorganizing a
iaTge eiement OF the Democracy to oppose
Buckley and Rainey. Lanigan has been
organizing his forces to oppose Buckley
ana kalney. and also to oppose Pepper.
Buckley thinks it is time to gather his
lambs together to oppose everything that
is not their kind of mutton, and no more
appropriate place could be found than the
Manhattan Club building, which he owns,
including the furniture. Some people are
unkind enough to say that he owns the in
habitants, but the Assessor says only the
furniture, building and lana.

boards publications have always been pala
ont of the approximations The Governor
"digs up" a law that the State Printer
must provide all such things. 1t IS hgured
out in the letter that but $3.50, year
is absolutely required, as the sal,
aries are paid out of this general
fund. Other laws which enable the
secretary to carry on the work of the board
without single meeting OF the mem DeTs
are revealed, and attention is drawn to the
absolute powers vested in county boards OF
horticulture to do quarantine work ana
order the destruction of pests, trees ana
infected orchards at the owners expense
One idea advanced by the Governor will
undoubtedly be acted on by the board.
One of the most valuable as well as ex'
pensive works of the board has been the
discovery, introduction and distribution or
the parasites which have saved many mil
lions by cleaning orchards of destructive
pests. 1t is estimated that the ladybug
which cleans out the cottony cushion scale
has been worth $3, ,000,0 900 TO Los Angeles
County alone. Since January l last the
board has sent out free 1900 colonies OF the
new parasite that works on the black scale.
Now the Governors idea is that hortlcul-
turists ought to pay for these bugs. He
saws that at only 81 colony the board
could have taken in $4,000 this year. This
idea of being. self-supporting and even
lnxuriating in experiments, parasites, ex-
perts and fine engravings on the profits
of the parasite business never occurred to
the board before.
The Governor in his letter and in his
private talks has expressed deep interest
and appreciation concerning the hortlcul.
tural interests and the valuable work OF
the board, and offers to personally give
$40 year to the support if the Board Of
Commissioners will throw off their like
charge for travelling expenses. This, he
says, would leave about $100 month still
needed.
"If the fruit industry, valued at 'huu-
dreds of millions of dollars does not con-
tribute this the same can undoubtedly be
raised by the sale of pest destroyers."',
So the Board of Horticulture will pull
itself together. move to the City Hall prob
ably, work out another method of pruning,
sell parasites receive subscriptions and
work along heroically and devotedly.

THE EIGHT CALL FOR POLICE PROTECTION.

they were required to make and said never
another word.
Under these conditions of general assent
one or two very excellent measures crept
through. Conspicuous among these was
the following:
Resolution: That from and after this
date no contracts for street work shall
be entered into for the City unless first
subjected to bids.
This is a measure that contractors-the
Legitimate and better class of contractors
have been demanding for a long time.
The twenty words that compose this little
measure do away with an evil that has
long pestered the City and stood in the
way of better streets and cheaper paving.
1t slays the private contract" evil. Had
this little measure stood on the books some
months ago the Van Ness avenue robbery
might have been made to appear for what
it is and possibly have been defeated-al-
though that is expecting a good deal.
Under this resolution every piece of
street work must be advertised. the specifi-
cations made public and the contract
awarded to the lowest bidder. AS it is
now nearly all the street work is done
through private contract, and the average
contractor is not aware that the work is
contemplated until the thing is done.

jealousy Said to Have Led to the
Preparation Of the Double
Tragedy.

Thomas C.Woods, cook on the steamer
Walla Walla, shot and killed Miss Mabel
Kent at $50 o'clock last night and then
fired bullet through his heart. Death
ensued in both cases almost instantly.
The double tragedy occurred on the cor
ner of Ridley and Elgin streets, and at a
time when the place was almost deserted.
The awful deed seemed to have been done
on the impulse of a madman. From all
accounts Woods had been forcing his at
tentions on the pretty girl, who had re-
pulsed him. Maddened by jealousy, he
put pistol in his pocket and waylaid the
object of his love.
Miss Kent was beautiful young woman
of 20 years of age, and by occupation a
dressmaker. She was returning from her
days toiling when Woods met her at Mar
ket street and insisted upon accompany
ing her home. When they reached Rid
ley and Elgin streets Woods was holding
her arm. She broke away from him

but I believe that neither Mr.. Osbourne
nor myself has time enough to devote to
the interests of the Animals Home. My
opinion is that the Pound should be taken
in charge by one of the salaried officers of
the society, although 1 have nothing to
say against Mr.. Osbourne's administra-
ton"
Poundmaster Osbourne has taken no
portion of the salary allowed by the City
since he has come into the position, but
has regularly turned his salary into the
treasury of the Humane Society.
Chief Deputy Flemming refuses to con-
slider himself discharged.
Director John Partridge is in favor of
turning the Pound over to the society's
salaried officer.
In all probability the new board of di-
rectors will have lively time of it when
they meet next Thursday to organize and
choose new Poundmaster, and at that
time the full extent of the inharmony
between the old directorate and the Pound
employees will be made known.
