ness in Si1ty.Four.

A recent inquiry for Sterling A. Hop
famous Vigilance Committee of 1856, has
como from several local attorneys, who
want his evidence to clear the title to
piece of land at the southeast corner of
Manuel and Jackson streets, Alameda,
being part of the estate OF the late ex-
Mayor W. R. Andrus of Oakland.
"Ths inquiry shows how short is the
memory of the Masses" said Attorney Os-
car T. Shuck, yesterday. "My Statistical
Abstract shows" said he, "that Hopkins
was killed in the Battle of the Wilderness
on June 1, 1864. This information cannot be
found in the San Francisco newspapers,
but is in the old files of the Sacramento
Union"
The point about which lawyers are wor-
ried could be cleared by Hopkins if the
dead could speak, but the attorneys in the
death, though his long silence, in view of
his prominence in pioneer times. might
indicate that he had died.
In 1856 Hopkins was Marshal of San
Francisco. While he was in the act of ar
resting notorious character he was
stabbed in the neck by David S. Terry, at
that time Caliiornia's Chief Justice.

VigiIautes decided that they would hang
Judge Terry if the wound resulted i'll
death. At the time of the sta bling Hop
kins was in the act Of arresting Reuben
Mallory, who had been captured on the
bay by Vigilance officers. Malloney had
taken refuge in a room at the State
Armory, al the corner OF Washington and
kearny streets.
Judge Terry was present at the time of
the attempted arrest and he declared that
nobody should be arrested in his presence
by any person claiming authority from
an illegally constituted tribunal. Hop
kins retired for time and returned with
an armed force. Judge Terry presented
rifle. which Hopkins seized, whereupon
Terry plunged a dagger into the back of
his neck, severing the carotid artery.
The Vigilanres then filled the streets to
the number of 1900, surrounding the
armory where Terry and his friends were
barricaded. All this occurred on June 20,
and Terry was not released until August 7.
1t is probable that the absence of Hop
kins' signature to the deeds in question
will result in a compromise among his
heirs, for the omission of the ancestors s
signature gives some of them a color of
right to several valuable tracts of prop
erty.

PIUTEs 1GAIN RAMPANT.

May Yet Tnke the Warpath Over Thai
Mason Pnttey Murder.
VIRGINIA, New. March 5.-The pros
pect of trouble between the Plutes and
whites has not yet disappeared.
The cause of the uprising last week,
when the militia was called out, was the
murder of a Piute named Jim King in
Mason Valley by a man named Logan.
King was killed while protecting his sister
from assault. Logan escaped and the
Indians threatened trouble if he was not
punished. He was captured and the out
break subsidized.
Preliminary examination of Logan was
held yesterday before the Justice of the
Peace at Dayton, Lyon County, in which
Mason Valley is situated. The examina-
tion was farce and Logan was acquitted.
He was put in the County Jail, however,
for safe keeping, and during the day Cap
tain Dave, chief of the Mason Valley
Piutes, secured an order from District
Judge Mack of this place holding Logan
for trial.
In the meantime fifty Piutes armed
with Winchesters guard the Dayton Jail
and q party of twelve Indians. also armed,
search every outgoing train to make sure
that Logan is not spirited away. A race
war is imminent if Logan is not punished.

CARSON, New, March 5.-The chief

He had practically loafed for two days

Nobody was disappointed. Breakfast out

called out his dog Laddie. Together they

Corbett does not fancy road work. He
claims that it stiffens his legs and i'm

from so many blows.

HER SOW IN SANTA cRUZ'S jail.
Aged Woman Walks From San Francisco

OHsDrj1U

SANTA CRUZ. CAL, March 5.-An a1-
fecting demonstration of mothers love
for her boy was witnessed here yesterday
in the meeting at the County Jail of Mrs
Williams of San Francisco and her son, J..
Moss, who has been sentenced, together
with J. P. Densen. to eighteen months in
the State Prison for stealing Fisherman
Perez's boat. The mother was too poor to
pay her fare to Santa Cruz and when she
heard of her boys trouble she started
afoot, walking the entire distance. From
the time she left San Francisco until she
reached this city there was hardly an hour
when rain was not falling or cold wind
blowing, but it dld not change her pur-
pose.
She would have saved her son from the
disgrace of term in prison had 1t been
within her power, but there was no en-
couragement to be derived from the facts
in the case. The evidence against the
young man is too strong, and District At
torney Carl Lindsay had. before her ar
rival, secured plea of guilty without the
expense of trial.

the Committee Yes
terday.
Soon a Convention Will Be
Called to Consider the
Question.
The SUI ject Also Discussed at Con.
ference of Health Officials and
Professors.

The pure food committee of the Council
of Associated Industries met yesterday in
the rooms of the Manufacturers and
Producers Association. Mills building, to
consider further the question of graphing
with the sale of impure and adulterated
foods.
Among the subjects discussed was the
prosecution of cases already begun and
those soon to go on the calendar of Judge
Campbels court; the attitude of the
Board of Health in keeping the result Of
its ANALYSIS secret until passed upon
officially; the general attitude of the press
on the question, and the advisability of
calling a convention for the near future in
order to bring the crusade more promi-
nently before the public and arouse a
eater in terest in the work now going on.
The action of the Board of Health met
generally with commendation, as it is SO
difficult to remedy an error when once it
gets out.
In prosecuting cases B. N. Ravley was
in favor of going after the manufacturers,
the fountain head whence flows all that is
impure in the food line. The question
was raised at this time: What are we 60
ing to do with manufacturers outside the
boundary of the StateP"
Julian Sonntag thought it would be best
in this, as in most other cases, to make
haste slowly.
Oscar Lewis was appointed committee
of one to wait on w. S. Barnes to see if
that attorney could elucidate the question
as to whom the war should be waged on.
The following resolutions, alter cursory
discussion were adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS The food reform movement is at
the present time becoming as it is in other
States East and throughout the world one Of
the most i'm portant movements; aud whereas,

past week.
tits only one of those winds that come
along opportunely at this time of the year
and dry up the roads, ;" they would say.
But predictions and customs were swept
away by this wind-a wind that would
have made en- nvious the historical big wind
in Ireland, and along about o'clock this
afterno oon fakes of snow began to fit into
town and into the faces of pedestrians.
There has been no cessation of the vista
tion, and tonight Carson is cloaked in q
mantle of Immaculate white.
But to return to the beginning. This
sudden and unexpected change in the
weather has sent sadness and dIsappoint-
ment into both training camps And no
wonder, for it practically means an end to
road work in the open air-a branch of
the preparatory work which the handlers
of both Corbett and Fitzsimmons have
deemed most important of late. Both of
the big fellows delight to take spin on
their bikes, in addition to getting out on
dry roads for sprinting matches with their
trainers, but to-night's change means that
thew will have to be content with Arcti
shoes and furs in preference to bikes and
spikes.
This sudden reversal of climatic condi-
tions has given rise to much animated dis
cussion in all parts of Carson as to which
of the two big fellows will suffer most by
the new conditions. The consensus of
opinion is that 1t will work more to the
Of Gophaff fn Of Eit1-
simmons. The reason given is this When
both Corbett and FitZsimmons arrived the
snow was a foot or more deep for miles
and miles surrounding Carson. The Cali
fornian Immediately elected to do only
indoor work and his trainers aequiesced,
not particularly for their own convenience
80 much as for the safety of the cham
pion. Corbett himself said at the time
that inasmuch as he Was in a strange
climate he would prefer not to take any
chances in exposing himself and would
rather do all of his training indoors and
10 into tn ring without colds or rheuma-
tism than to give any body chance to say
that he was unfit for the battle and de-
liberately threw down his friends and
hackers.
But not SO with Fitzsimmons. The red
headed athlete proclaimed at once that
snow was as propltious for training as was
the dry ground. and, although he was de-
prived OF the pleasure he could have with
his erratic bicycle, he included daily
trudge through the snow in his routine OF
work aud stuck to ii until the thaw had
set in and the roads become clear
1t is the knowledge OF the preferences of
the two championship aspirants In regard
to training in the snow that has caused all
the discussion that is going on tonight.
If the storm continues with the violence
that characterizes it now, it simply means
hat the roads will not be clear again until
after the 18th of March. 1t may be that
Corbett will not adhere to his original an
nouncement that he would take no
chances out in the snow and that he will
adopt FiiZsimmons' tactics and brave the
elements rather than sacrifice the benefits
to be obtained by exercise out in the free,
open air.
He will have TO fight with only the blue
