Former Employer Whose Life He Saved.
A special from Norwich, N. Y, says:
L. N. Smith, of the town of Lincklaen,
Chenango county, it is reported has re-
ceived notice from Idaho that by the
will of Thomas Lowhorn, a wealthy
rancher, he has fallen heir to property
valued at $4,000. Three years ago
Smith was a cowboy in the employ of
Lowhorn and was assisting at a round
up when his employer fell from his
horse. Lowhorn was in imminent dan
ger of being trampled TO death. Smith
put his spurs to his horse, dashed in
front of the herd, and, grasping Low
horn, carried him to a place of safety.

Why Dogs Turn Around.

Everyone has noticed the peculiar
habit of all dogs in turning roond sew
eral times before lying down. This
idiosyncrasy is believed to be due to the
habits of the wild animal, which found
it necessary TO turn around in its bed
of weeds or grass several times in order
to break the vegetation down to make
a comfortable resting place.

THE 'MALLEYS IN JAIL,
They Have Again Opened Up
Their Feud With the
McGuires.
This Time the Boss of the House Has
Whipped Dennis ODay, His
Landlord

The O'Malley ard MCGUIRE feud has again
broken out aud the former husband and wife),
representing the aggressive faction, are in jail.
The charge of assault to murder is booked
against the male O'Malley and the lighter
charge of assault with d ,adly weapon stands
against the fair name of Mrs. Margaret o. NAL
ley.
About ten days ago the O'Malleys of Glenn
entipa street carried ON in such high style
that officers Grennan ana Patrick Mcnamara
found it necessary to drop in upon them.
The unsought-for visit was resented with
broomsticks and other household utensils to
the great discontinue of the policemen, who
are now nursing broken heads.
This previous affair is sIiil pending as q
matter to be attended to by the Police Court,
and in the meantime MIR. and Mrs O'Malley
have been al large on bail, making further
records for themselves.
Dennis O'Day, the landlord of the house the
OMalleys have been occupying, called upon
his tenants and requested their surrender of
the premises.
Mr.. o'MaIley met Mr.. o'Day and, Punch.
like, beat him in good shape with the tail end
of hod. Mrs. Kate Mcclure witnessed the
assault and protested against it, whereupon
she was promptly struck down by Mrs. OMal-
ley, who was accused of executing Jig upon
her prostrate form
The OMalleys are again under arrest in con-
sequence OF the deeds just related.

TEACHERS AND TALK.
Dissatisfied About Lecturers and Pen

Dissatisfied About Lecturers and PEN
sions-A Principals Beard.
Yesterday afternoons session of the
Teachers Institute was taken up by an ad-
cress delivered by Professor Ray ymond,
formerly of Illinois. The subject chosen
was: drill and Conquest; Com parison
OF Military Methods ana the Progress OF
Education"
Professor Raymond was introduced by
Superintendent Babcock, who prefaced
his remarks by saying that the teachers
had better take good look at Joe O'Con-
nor, principal of the Horace Mann School,
who having lost an election bet will sacri-
hce his beard. Every one who has seen
ms sweeping hirsute appendage will know
that the carrying out of the bet will in
VoIve considerable sacrifice and devotion
TO principle on the part OF Mr.. O'Connor.
There is much complaint among the
teachers about the speakers, or "half-
broken-down educators" as they prefer to
atlude to them, that are chosen to address
| the institute. In other counties the
| schools are given a vacation during the
sessions of institutes, which last three
days, but in this City it is quite different.
! The pupils are dismissed at the noon
hour and certain mber Of afternoons
are taken to make up the requisite times
| The teachers com plain that he speaker.
| chosen are not practical and generally
what they have to say has no reference TO
| school life.
They would much prefer that the
| speaker should be chosen from their own
| schools, and consideri il a pity to be calling
on outside speakers, who talk with a
shuttle and can't break away from their
| notes."
| Tue Superintendent of Schools is, they
| say. not to blame in the matter, as the
men chosen to speak come TO him with
| strong letters of Endorsement and beg the
| privilege OF addressing the teachers.
| Although the great body of teachers
| attend the sessions, they feel that little
benefit is derived, and generally come
armed with the newspapers and a batch
OF yarn.
After the adjournment of yesterday s
| session there was a meeting of teachers
! interested in the pension bill passed by
| the last Legislature. They were there for
| the purpose Of introducing an amendment
to the bill and to form a com mittee to
| meet with the Board of Education and de-
eide as 10 the capacity or incapacity of
the teachers applying for pensions. The
amendment was suggested by the fact
that many principals urge teachers to ac-
| cept pension so as to make vacancy II

Ma. WETJtN OUTRAGED,
He Has Written a Communica-

Rumor.
Which Was, He Says, in Keeping
With the Dirty Work by Which
He Was Defeated.

Cord ]. Wetjen has written a communi-
cation for the information of his friends
and the public generally, which is as
follows:
scrupulous rascal or rascals circulated report
that had committed suicide.
The rumor first circulated Thursday
morning, and Notwithstanding that every
effort was made by my friends to deny it, {
was persisted in all that day and the next,
thereby proving that ii was something more
than a hoax. Myself and numerous friends
are endeavoring 10 trace up the source of thi S
detestabe '.joke," and l desire TO say to my
sufficient evidence in a short time to make
things interesting for those who are guilty of
this dasiardly attempt to brighten nay family
and injure my reput tation man.
i desire to say TO my friends, through your
valuable paper. that I have not committed
suicide and do not intend to do anything so
cowardly.
Ii the party or parties who are responsible
Tor this had met with defeat, they, being
towards, would in all likelihood have done
what they attribute to me.
All that can ssy is that this is in keeping
with the dirty WORK used to defeat me, and /
firmly believe emanates from the same source
When say dirty work was used to bring bout
my defeat, / 90 50 advisedly. Ihave evidence
in my poss ession that trickery was resorted to
before and after the election.
Inope, Mr.. Editor, that you will give this
letter publicity, SO that my friends and the
/ further desire 10 thank my friends for the
valuable assistance given ME, and beg Of them
to take no stoA in any rtmor they may hear

ball Game.

All doubts about the success of the
coming Thanksgiving regatta have passed
away, and there is now every prospect OF
its being tie greatest event of the kind
that has ever taken place on San Francisco
Bay.
Mayor-elect James d. Phelan will act as
referee, assisted by Charles G. Yale, who
has acted as referee in so many boat races
OF the past.
The races will be rowed in Oakland
Creek, probably the best course on the
coast. The start will be from a point
about quarter of mile from the foot of
Broadway, and will be mile and half
long with turn, except in the old-timers'
race, which will be three-quarters of a
mile straight away.
The giants of Stockton, champion
senior barge crew, A. G. Brow, the cham
pion single sculIer, and the champion
junior four-oared crew, all of Stockton.
will be in com petition with the local oars
men. There is sreat curiosity to see how
the wonderful four-oareu barge will act on
the waters of the bay. The Sonth Ends
are determined to have as good boat
built here if possible, in order TO be on
even terms with the Stockton boys.
A very interesting feature of this regatta
will be a six-oared cutter race between the
first and second divisions of the Naval
Reserve. Mr.. Pembroke, the P. A. A.
rowing Commissioner feels satisfied he
can obtain cup or pennant that shall be
known as challenge trophy, to be rowed
tor every year, or twice year, by crews OF
the Naval Battalion. There will also be
very interesting race between well-known
former single.scull oarsmen. Quite a
number have promised to try their skill
again.
The programme (subject to changes) will
be about as follows: Four-oared intermedi-
ate, senior single sculi. senior four-oared
barge, six-oared cutter race, Naval Re-
serve, junior uutrigger skiff race, senior
outrig er skiff race and old-timers race.
Ali race boats VIII be taken over free on
the S:15 or 9:15 boat. narrow-gauge. The
first race will start at 10:45 A. NJ. ana
people taking the l0:15 narrow-gauge boat
will be in time 10 see the start. Mayor
elect Phrlan has presented a valuable
silver cup for the single-sculi event and
! the Southern Pacific Railroad has made a
handsome contribution for prizes, while
Auditor Broderick has also presented q
| fine trophy.
Every prize will be valuable and Will be
ready for the winner at the conclusion of
the regatta.
Besides the crews from Stockton the
University of California, the Alan eda,
South End, Ariel. Dolphin and possibly
the Pioneer clubs will be represented. It
| is the intention to have the races over in
time for spectators to get lunch and be
! able to see the football game in the alter
noon between the teams from the STAN

SEEKING AN ACCOUNTING.

j. III. Smith and the Financing OF the
Ferries and Cliff House Road.
The case of j. Howard Smith against
the Ferries and Cliff Railway was argued
orally in the Supreme Court yesterday.
The case was submitted once before and
was ordered resubruitted. Mr.. Smith
seeks an accounting for the purpose of de-
termining how much the road actually
cost, how it was paid for, under what cir
cumstances, and to what amounts stocks
and bonds were issued and how they have
been disposed of, and all other facts con-
corning the financing OF the road.
The arguments occupied the entire day,
P. j. Galpin. Mr.. Smith, Robert Y
Hayne, E. F. Preston and c. P. Eells, the
last three named representing the railway
company, being in court.
This litigation has been In progress five
years. The present phase is demurrer
which Mr.. Smith asks the Supreme Court
to overrule. The rail way com pany's at

Mason Given Eighteen months.

Edward Mason, who last week was convicted
In the United States District Court of using
the mails for fraudulent purposes, must serve
term OF eighteen months in San Quentin and
pay a fine of $500 This is the sentence i'm
posed by Judge Morrow yesterday. Some
months ago Mason wrote to Mrs. Caroline
Christie of Warren, Mass, TO the effect that
her son, Everett Christie, had been injuredla
a railroad accident and was suffering Tor life's
necessaries. The writer thought that 500
would about fill the bill, and this sum was
accordingly forwarded. Mrs. Christies conf
dence in Mason was considerably strength
ened by the fact that he signed himself
to play the same game on Miss Christie, but
that lady was not to be so easily caught. She
wrote to the Postmaster at Truckee and then
the whole fraud came TO light. Mason had
never met young Christie, but knew that his
parents were wealthy. Acting on this in.
formation he played on the sympathies of the
mother to the tune OF $100.

BOWEN MUST ANSWER
The Murderer of Frank Jones
Will Stand Trial in the
District Court.
Defense Offers No Eviience, but Con.
fident of Aoquittal in the
Higher Tr bunal.

The preliminary hearing of Henry P.
Bowen, who killed Frank Jones, second
officer of the sealing vessel Baleana, at
Herschel Island on September last, oc-
CURED before United States missioner
Heacock yesterday. The accused was held
to answer before the District Court to the
charge OF murder.
Assistant United States Attorney Bert
Schlessinger conducted the case for the
Government, though little il any evidence
other than what has already been pub
ished was introduced. 1t was shown that
Jones had provoked the quarrel. though
just preceding the shooting he had ex-
pressed q willingness to let the whole
affair drop.
Captain Williams of the BaIaena was
probably the strongest witness offered by
the Government. He swore that on July
IS Bowen had threatened to kill Jones,
which threat the captain thought of suffi-
cient importance to enter in the logbook.
On cross-examination il was developed
that on the day in question Jones had
choked Bowen. but the captain had not
made a note of it, because sit would take
up page" 1t was also brought out that
Bowen had told Captain Williams that he
(Bowen) was willing to let the matter
drop If Jones was willing.
The remaining witnesses examined by
the Government were John Mapes, An
tone Lopes and Arthur Huntley, all off,
GERS of the Balaena. They swore to the
fact of the killing and as to the frequent
quarrels between the two men. Lopes
said that just after the shooting Bowen
had given him package of papers and
books 10 throw overheard, and that he lad
done as requested. The witness could
give no information as to what the papers
contained.
The Government at this point announce
its case as closed, whereupon Attorney
Wilson, representing the defendant, said
be had no evidence to offer in rebu, tai at
that time. Commissioner Heacock then
ordered the prisoner into the custody OF
the Marshal, pending the hearing of his
case in the United States District Court.
