BOB DON'T WANT IT.
stayton Withdraws, Leaving
the Way Open to Baker.

San Antonio Tex, July 28.-
Hon r. w. stayton tonight
gave out the following;
! To the Democrats of Texas:
Following my announcement
as a candidate for commissioner
of the general land Office came
many warm assurances of sup
port from prominent democratic
friends throughout the state, and
in numerous instances, counties
have instructed for me in their
primaries. To these friends and
to these counties my gratitude
is earnest, deep and sincere,
and were I to consider only
myself in this matter, with
the prospects of success l now
have, it would be furthest from
me to do aught but continue ia
the race TO the end. As a
democrat, however, I feel that
l have a higher duty to per
form than to think only of self,
and having recently learned
that my candidacy is causing
dissensions in the democratic
ranks, which would only be
heightened in case of my nomi
nation, l have decided to with
draw from the contest and trust
my friends will no longer con-
slider me candidate. lido this
simply in the interest of party
harmony and because l feel
that the nominees Of The state
ticket should be of one mind
on certain public issues. My
fealty to the party and my
sincerity in doing that which
[ believe will be to its best in
terest will best be shown by
the support | propose TO accord
the nominees Of the state demo-
cratic convention. With renew
ed assurances of gratitude for
she generous, liberal and vol
untary promises of support l
have received from all portions
of the state, and with the hope
that this, of all years, may be a
year of democratic unity and
success, l am, with greatest re
spect, sincerely yours,

Judge McKenna Refuses to Dismiss the
Humboldt Timber Land Cases.

Judge McKenna Refuses to Dismiss the
Humboldt Timber Land Cases.
United States Circuit Judge McKenna
yesterday denied the motion to dismiss
the important Humboldt County tim ber-
land cases. The motion was made by the
defendants, the American Lumber Com
pany and the Central Trust Company.
The latter contended that the cases should
be tried in Illinois, the headquarters of
the defendant corporations. The Govern
ment officers argued that the land being
in the Northern District OF California the
cases come properly before Judge Nc
Kenna.
The case involves the title to large tracts
of valuable timber lands in the county
stated. and the corporations received
patents to the same from the Government
in 1894. The action is to rescind the grants
upon the ground that fraud was practiced
upon the Government In The Land Office.
The case will be heard next month.

INSANE MEN FIGHT.
the Waiting Room of Judge
Hebbard's Court.

Hebbard's Court.
The deputy sheriff who officiates as bail
iff in Judge Hebbard's depar tment of the
Superior Court had an exciting time sepa-
rating two infuriated insane persons who
were up for examination yesterday morn
ing. One of the unfortunates was burly
negro named Gus Jemison and the other a
hollow-eyed Chinese named Choy Sam
Choy.
Trouble was brewing when they were
brought up together from the Receiving
Hospital. Jemison had the wild light of
the insane in his eyes, but he objected to
the company OF the Celestial.
When they were placed in the waiting
room they glared at each other for a
while and then Jemison began making
hostile demonstrations.
After shaking his fist at Choy he sud-
denly made rush at him. and dropping
on his knees before the Chinese, threw b is
fists into a pugilistic pose and struck at
Choy. The latter was not opposed to bat
tie and they had just clinched for good
rough and tumble fight when the deputy
came back to conduct them into court.
He lost no time in joining in The melee
ana after hard tussle separated the pair
and held them at arms length. Both
were committed to Stockton, but were
kept well apart until landed in the asylum.

GRANT MONUMENT COMMITTEE,
SAN FRANCISCO, December 8, 1896.
To the Golden Gate PdrE Commissioners of the
City of San FTdncisco-GENTLEMEE: The Grant
Monument Associa ton, through its president
and secretary, desires to present to the Golden
Gate Park of the City of San francisco, the
bust, pedestal, etc., of General Ulysses s.
Grant, now in place near the museum at the
Park.
This is the result of the contri button made
several years ago for Grant monument. The
matter was dropped for many years and the
amount of money that had already been col
lected was put into the present shape as being
the most availa BILE.
While the monument is not sufficient in mag
nitude to represent the wishes of the people of
San Francisco it is the best that could be done
with the amount of money available.
We, therefore, most respectfully ask you TO
accept from the hands of the Grant monu-
ment committee, in behalf of all the people,
this monument located in Golden Gate Park.
Respectfully yours,

Of water area TO Ellnger I'm conformity
with a survey made by Lieutenant Hodg-
kns OF the United States Coast and

about three thousand acres. while the
deeds for the Fox Island property in the
Clerks office include only about six hum
bred acres. DIT. Bowdoin said he had as
signed 10 Ellingcr the increased amount
Of acreage because he thought he was
