rested for Sending Obscene Mat.
ter Through the Mails.

Stephen Zadu, otherwise known as Ro-
kaz, challenged N. Milo to fight duel out
near the Cliff House, where the sad sea
waves and the barking sea lions could
trill an appropriate funeral dirge to the
resounding alarm produced by the firing
of two double-barre shotguns.
But the duel to the death never came
off. Instead Stephen Zadu ianguishes in
the County Jail, charged with sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails, while the
offending Milo continues to serve steam
beer and other intoxicants at 219 Grant
avenue.
The trouble between the two parties
named grew out of position as bartender.
Up to June last Zadu held such a position
at 219 Grant avenue. He was taken sick,
and after looking about bit concluded
that Milo would be Just the man to take
his place temporarily.
In time Zadu recovered his health and
at once sought his old position. But Milo
would have none of it. He had convinced
the proprietor that the job could be done
for considerably less than the price for
merIy paid.
Then Zadu waxed wroth. He swore all
manner of oaths, finally winding up by
sending his erstwhile friend an abusive
postal card naming the beach near
the Cliff House as the proper place to
settle their difference and incidentally
determine who was entitled to the coveted
position.
Yesterday noon was named as the meet
ing hour, but Milo was not present. He
had a representative, however, in the per-
son of United States Marshal. Zadu
was brought into the presence of Commits
sioner Heacock and without much for
mality held to answer before the District
Court. The accused man acknowledged
writing the offensive postal card, but said
it was only way of his 10 show that Milo
had deliberately violated all labor rules,
and to evidence further that the usurper
was not fighting man. He appeared to
be ignorant of the fact that he had violated
any law.

good to keep. And so it was with the
Crocker fete. The secret is out.
The secret fete champetre, with which
the Casteilanes succeeded in electrifying
all Paris, has been the model by which
the Crocker fete was planned. The same
conditions being possible to the San Fran
cisco hosts-a lavish purse and magnifi-
cent grounds-there is no reason why the
Crocker fete should not equal, perhaps
surpass, that of the Countess Castelane
(nee Gould).
To George Hall. the Turkish Consul,
Mrs. Crocker entrusted the entire manage
ment OF the elaborate entertainment.
Hall Immediately chose Bruce Porter for
stage director and Professor William J..
O'Brien as maitre de ballet.
A charming pastoral was especially
arranged for the occasion. 1t tells in SIM
pie style the magnificent heights to which
shepherds are wont to soar-in their
dreams.
The handsome lawn with its wealth of
starely trees and emerald shrubbery is to
be the scene of action. At the opening of
the little play the shepherd stroIls in,

dition,

They have been having great fun re-
Gently with whale in Henderson Bay,
Wash. Allsattempts to capture the levia-
than, although he has been chased up and
down the bay and has been fired at, have
proved unsuccessful. Two hundred spec
tators sailed out of Tacoma on a special
tug to see the fun, but before they returned
were badly scared.
So the Washington whalers have tele-
graphed to this port for assistance. Agent
Mills of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany in answer says that he is willing to
take the contract to kill the troublesome
whale uron certain conditions. He de-
sires guaranty of $1,000 and will furnish
four boats crews. He also offers to wager
$4,000 to $2500 that he gets the whale, and
$1,000 to $500 that the capture will be
made the first time boat gets alongside.
9Ee conditions have been accepted. and
]. D. Spreckels' big tug the Fearless
will be fitted up for the accommodation
of excursionists from this City. Tickets

and home, where dancing will be in order
until midnight, when supper will be served
upon the lawn.
During supper there is to be another
short order of dances.
Two brilliant Spanish girls in native
costume will dance the Spanish cachucha;
then tarantelle, and then will come the
last number on the programme-a Polish
dance in costume by tiny danseuse.
For the second half of the programme
the Spanish students will furnish the
music.
Preparations for the fete were busily go
ing on all of yesterday. AT o'clock last
evening Bruce Porter went down, carry
ing with him bewildering array of golden
columns, urns, etc.
This afternoon at 2:30 the dancing girls,
who, by the way, are all professionals,
will go down, so as to be in time for final
dress rehearsal on the grounds before
evening. Their costumes are ali new, and
have been especially made for this occa-
sion. Their flowers are also TO be fragrant
and fresh.
There are to be number OF distinguished

was to pay $125, 900 and certain lands.
There was then $4,000, besides the taxes,
to be paid by Gray Il omit Cavanaugh' s
name for convenience, and this money he
expected to raise on the country lands
conveyed to them by Mills. This makes
Gray's ability to perform not independent
OF Mills performance, as the principle
would seem to require. but dependent on
Mills performance.
''The obligations between Gray and Mills
were mutual, as binding on one as the
other; they were dependent, the perform

performance by the other; concurrent,
that is, the performance by each must be
at the same time as that by the other

defendants is correct. and there was not

CONTRACT LIABILITIES,
Important Decision of Judge Nc
Kenna of the United States
Circuit Court.
The Late Edgar Mills Estate Not Re-
sponsibe for Damages to
A. E. Gray.

Real estate owners and agents and law
yers generally will be especially inter
ested in decision just handed down by
Judge McKenna in the United States Cir
cult Court. The title of the suit is: Albert
E. Gray VS.. S. Prentiss Smith and Frank
Miller, executors of the estate of Edgar
Mills, deceased.
1t is an action for damages for the nom
or exchange of lands.
In letter to Albert E. Gray, dated Sep
tember 16 1891, the late Edgar Mills, the
son old. 0. Mills, wrote as follows:
Dear Sir: Provided you take the following
described property, situate in Tehama and Co.
lusa counties as part payment up to $1I5, ,O0O
hereby make you an offer to purchase the
in this City, extending through to Stevenson
street, lying on the east side of and adjoining
Central Park and running east thence S215
feet by depth of 165 feet, at the price OF
$24O, 900, namely, in cash $125, 900, and in
land as above, S115 900.
This offer is to hold good for three weeks
from this date, to enable you to inspect my
said lands
Gray on the 9th of October, 1891, an
swered the letter, accepting the said offer.
"The performance of the contract"
says Judge McKenna in his decision, sis
admitted, and is sought to be excused or
damages ayerted.
"Mills' obligation was to Gray. and the
evidence certainly leaves an important
matter in very dangerous ambiguity, and
this without inferring anything from the
silence which the statute imposes upon
the living party to a transaction in litiga-
ton with the estate of the deceased one.
But ambiguous testimony may have more
than one explanation, and certainly the
burden of proof IN this issue is not on the
plaintiff. We may accept, therefore, as
determined in favor of plaintiff the fact
of the assignment of the contract by ]. H.
Cavanaugh to his wife, which was written
by Gray, as evidence that they had NOT
acquiesced in a release of Mills.
'The contract of Donohoe was to convey
to Mills upon the payment of $165, 900 and
