TECHNICAL ESCAPE.
DR.. Sanborn Takes French Leave From
the Asylum at Highland.

DR., F. C. Sanborn was ordered COM
mitted to Highland last July. after be-
ing examined as to his mental condi-
tion He had developed the morphine
habit and an excessive use of the hypo-
dermic gun" speedily made him a men,
tai wreck
This disciple of Esculapius has been
improving very rapidly under the care
of the medical director at Highland, but
he. himself has labored under the i'm
preston for some time that he was fully
recovered and quite able to look out for
himself.
Yesterday morning he made his ap-
pearance about town, telling rather
odd story He did not say that he had
received his discharge from Hlgnlano.
and, on the other hand, he denied that he
had run away. Later developments,
however, seemed to indicate that DR..
Sanborn made lat least, a technical es-
cape While he was in the law office of
Ladd & Hughes one of the officials from
Righland-Otticer mball-appeared
upon the scene and took the eX-patient
in his charge. Attorney Hughes nipped
up to court and sued out writ of ha beas
corpus, and returning told Ofncer klm-
ball that he was wanted in court. Non
for the moment the officer
mounted 10 tle coui ho"'e' 80 W"
almost at the door of department one 1t
seemed to flash upon his mind that an
attempt was being made to inveigle him
into court and by legal process deprive
him of the glory of having recovered the
escaped patient.
Acting upon the impulse of the moment
he turned and incontinently fled. But
the sheriff was seeking to serve notice
upon him to bring DR.. Sanborn into court
this morning, and when he caught
glimpse of the flying official from the
Highland asylum he started in pur-
suit 1t was case of diamond cut ola-
mond." Kimball wished to get his man
aboard the train as quickly as he could,
and the sheriff wanted to stop that very
game. The latter won out after a sharp
chase, and DR.. Sanborn will be brought
up in department one this morning on
ha heas cornus proceedings.

TO RECOVER DAMAGES
Travelling Salesman Who Claims He
Paid $141 Under Protest

Harry z. Silverman entered the en-
ploy of the proprietors of the National
vinegar works in February last. The
works are carried on by G. Thomas. G.
Pridham and w. c. Reed. and these gen
tlemen entered into an agreement with
Sllverman by which he was to receive
$50 per month as travelling salesman and
10 per cent commission upon all sales
made by him.
AT the beginning of June el was dis
charged by the firm despite the contract
Wnlch existed, and Silverman instituted
suit to recover $500 by way of dana ges.
1t is also claimed by him that about
July 1st his late employers claimed that
there was shortage in his accounts and
demanded of him $141.25, threatening in
the event OF his refusing to pay the defic-
it to attach his personal goods and ef
fects and prosecute him for embezzla-
ment. Silverman, according to the story
as told by him yesterday while upon the
witness stand, paid the amount under
protest, not wishing to suffer prosecu-
ton on criminal charge, when he could
recover the amount wrongfully wrested
from him by civil process.
The evidence given yesterday before
Judge Van Dyke, in department four
was of very contradictory character.
Silverman asserted when on the stand
that he left the employ of the vinegar
works without being one cent in their

MISSING HANS HANSEN.
Thought to Have Been His Body Found
Floating in the Ocean.

It now seems probable that the corpse
of the unknown man found floating
Monday afternoon off the end of the
mammoth wharf. Port Los Angeles. will
be identified as that Of Hans Hansen,
q Scandinavian laborer who has been
missing for the past ten days from his
rooms in this city.
Hansen is, or was, general laborer,
some 45 years of age, who labored un-
der the disadvantage of having Grip
pied left hand, caused by an old gunshot
wound in the wrist. He had been
rooming with the elevator boy of the
Wilson block, but had done but little or
no work for some time. He would get
place after place, but was always
obliged to quit after short time on ac-
count of his physical disability.
Threats of suicide were often made by
Hansen, and he frequently said that he
should go down and throw himself into
the ocean. Ten days ago he disappeared
and nothing has been heard of him since.
The description of the corpse and the
clothing tallies perfectly with that of the
missing man, and it is probable that he
carried out his threats and jumped off
the long wharf to end life's troubles.
Hansen was single man and possess
ed of a small property, among which IS
a little ranch in Antelope valley. Tire
remains were so badly decomposeG that
positive Identification by the features
was impossible, but the key found in the
pocket of the clothing will be tried in
the door of his room. and if it fits there
will be little doubt as to what has be-
come of missing Hans Hansen.

A TERRIBLE NIGHT
The Story of the Damage Done at the
Nadeau Vineyard by Flood in 1882

The trial of the suit Of Julius Koebig
against the Southern Pacific company
continues to mopopolize the attention
of Judge Clark in department two.
Most of the testimony is of dry.
technical and uninteresting character,
so far as the general public is concerned.
Yesterday, however, the deposition. OF
Jacob Caviezel was read, and from 1t
fair idea can be formed of the disaster,
caused by the flood in 1883, which
wrecked the winery, ETC., at the Nadeau
vineyard.
Jacob Caviezel is now dairyman, re-
siding at Davenport, Scott county, Iowa,
and was employed by Kohler & Fruhlins
at the Nadeau vineyard. AT O'clock
in the evenin," he says, we went TO
the boarding house and had supper, ana
then went to our rooms upstairs. We
remained there until a section hand
came about o'clock and warned us to
look out. as the river was coming IN.
l at once went down to the cellar OF
building B and plugged up all the tanks,
and then in the brandy shed drove the
bungs in tight into the barrels ana
tanks. From building went to pulio-
ing A. and there also l drove the bungs
in tight in the casks and tanks. The
water was in the cellar then
about three feet deep. L then went
to the winery and rolled inside a lot of
empty barrels and shut the doors. Then
| went back to the boarding house..
Il was not long there when we heard
a terrible crash, the sound seeming
to come from building A. Shortly after
another crash appeared to come from
the direction of building B. For about
an hour a terrible noise continued as the
barrels ripped and roared around. we,
in the boarding house, looked down on
the buildings, and we tried to pierce the
darkness and see what had happened.
ant we could not see anything. only hear
the terrible noise and roar of the waters.
our boarding house was about four teet
in the water.
Next morning, on December 25th, be-
tween and 6 o'clock, we saw that tae
winery was a wreck, and building A was
also wrecked. All the wine tanks were
foated off, some half a mile and quar-
ter of a mile Some of them were found
empty. and some half full and some
full, The building between the spur track
and the main track was used for stof-
age of wine in oval casks and REDWOOD
tanks and in which were large quanti-
ties of port, zinfandel, angelica and
muscatel wines, and other liquors. The
building was a total wreck, and entirely
destroyed. The casks and tanks were
thrown around for a quarter of a mile.
The greater part of the wine was de-
stroyed.
THE brandy shed was a total wreck.
In the north end of building B were
stored two large tanks of port wine.
which were not injured. The tanks were
supposed to hold 5000 gallons each.
1.-THE water which caused the damage
came from a break in the levee near the
bridge. This break was from about
eighty to one hundred feet wide. There
was another break north of the bridge,
at distance of about the length of tw }
city blocks. This break was in the
neighborhood of the China house, where
the Cinnamon lived.
