They Are Shot on Making
Their Appearance in
the Open.
Ferocious Brutes That Live on
Rabbits and Quail Among
the Trees.
Their Lair Cannot Be Found, and
They Increase in Spite of the
Sentries' R. fes.

There SIS a band of wild dogs in the
woods on the Presldio reservation, and
they have grown IN numbers and bodness
to such an extent that an order has been
issued TO all sentries to shoot them on sight.
These canine Migrants are said to be fero-
cious. although they rarely venture be-
yond the confines of the friendly forest
that has afforded them shelter and a
home. Their lair lies somewhere on the
hills, hidden in a jungle of trees and
underbrush and their daily menu is a
choice variety of rabbits and quail that
fill the woods ont there, with water from
streams that empty into Mountain Lake.
The dogs-or at least some of them
were once tame creatures, but they strayed
away from the conventional, and perhaps
constrained, path of the city dogs hum
drum life to virgin fields where thoughts
of tin cans to tails might never torture
more. They wound up in the Govern.
ment territory, away from pound wagons
and small boys. In time they formed a
community and began to increase in
numbers until the band now has very
respectable mem bership. In character
it seems they have one and all refrigerated
gone back a step or two in the social
scale; for they are wild, shy OF man in the
open, but i'm bued with ferocity if crossed
in the shrubbery where they live and roam
about. More of the wolf than of man s
faithful mpanion shows itself in them.
"a bulldog got in among the pack, :"

serted itself in the whole lot. That is why

stories going round the post about the
dogs.
now they make their appearance in packs
of half a dozen to twenty and all running
together. The sentries snOot at them, but
have not killed off any OF late, for the dogs
are growing timid of the rifles and keep
back in the trees. If the beasts keep on
increasing they will become such a pest
that the woods must be fenced against
them.
1.-THE reservation is oyerrun with rab-
bits, but of late think they have not in
creased much, as the wild dogs live upon
them. You may see the pack charge upon
the cotton-tails and kill few. Then you
hear the snarl, yelp, growl of fighting
dogs, and off they are again into covert.
'fIt would be a good thing If they were
able 10 eat up all the rabbits, because these
little animals are pest already, and men
come here with guns to shoot them, caus-
ing no little trouble to themselves and the
guard. A few days ago man went hunt
ing for cotton tails and forfeited his gun.
So the rabbits are left to the dogs exclu-
sively. No, there has been no instance
where the wild dogs attacked men or chill
dren, but still they are not of a class to be
fooled with"

TROUBLE AT SEA.
Seven Sailors of tho Sea1er Elsie Are
Arrested for MutinOus


G. MAIN, G. Henry, R. Johnson, j.
Frasher, G. Moore, T. Graurs and A. Oh
SEN sailors and hunters on the sealing
schooner Elsie, were arrested by the
United States Marshal yesterday on
charges that are equivalent to mutiny.
The legal phraseology of the complaint Is
that the seven men "unlawfully combined
among themselves and others of the crew
of the Am erican vessel Elsie to impede
the navigation of said vessel while on the
high seas on the 18th day OF January,
1897"
The men were taken before United
States Commissioner Heacock and held in
5000 bail, and their examination was set
down for next Tuesday.
The complainant is Captain Fred W.
Currie. He states that the Elsie sailed
from Port Townsend with crew of twen-
ty-one men-saiIors and hunterS-for a
sealing voyage in the North Pacific Ocean.
The voyage was booked for year. Many
of the men received an advance, and after
getting to sea they drew literally upon
the slopchest for clothing.
After hunting along the coast without
success Captain Currie states that he
ordered the course changed, and the
schooner headed for the Japan coast.
Then it was that the men refused TO do
duty and declined To go into that part OF
the Pacific Ocean. There was nothing to
do but to put into this port, arrest the
sailors and get new crew.
The story told by the sailors differs in
every respect from that of the master.
They assert that they never refused to
work and never declined to go into Japan
csc waters. To the contrary they expected
to cross the Pacific and hunt for seals near
Japan. AS the men tell il the trouble
began in this way. After hunting along
down the coast the vessel reached point
about $50 miles to the west of this port.
Captain Currie ordered the men to light
the sidelights in the forecastle, sadly
cramped place at best.
This the men assert is against all sea
prac tice, it being customary for the cook
or cabin boy to attend to that duty in the
galley or bin. So the seven refused to
comply with the order. This brought
about heated dispute between the cap
tain and Moore which almost terminated
in blows. The men did not like this for q
beginning OF a twelve months voyage
and suggested to the captain that as it
looked like nothing but trouble and dis
cord aboard he had better put into port
and secure another crew. They declare
that they never refused to do their work.
Taken as a whole the seven prisoners
are about as fine looking lot of sailors
as one can ind, but they one and all de-
clare that they will not submit to abuse
from any captain or officers OF a vessel.

that though ne was extremely fond of
water he had not dared to wet his whistle
with either brand in Santa Rosa for fear
that be would lay himself open to the
charge of implied bias.
A jocular suggestion was offered that
his Honor might alternate in his pota-
lions, but he responded with the objection
that his early training made him aVerse
to mixing his drinks.
Other things came up in the converse
ton and Judge Daingerfeld. gave the mat
ter no further thought until the next
morning, when he heard loud knocking
at his cham Der door and a WelIs-Fargo
messenger staggered in with huge demi-
john way billed from San Francisco and
Labeled, Aqua pura; viz, Spring Val
ley"
The good-natured jokers went still fur
Their, for on going to the courthouse his
Honor found smaller demijohns similarly
marked awaiting his acceptance.
Of sourse the lawyers in the case did not
hear of these occurrences and argument
proceeded as ii nothing had happened. So
far as appears from the record 40 pro-
vision was made for his Honor's bath, and
that element of possible bias is still an
uncertain quantity in the litigation.

ANSBLMO DE LAVEAGA's CLAIM.
1t Is Actively Resisted by Jose Vicente,
De Iayeaga's Sister.

III
De Laveaga's Sister.
Attorneys Garret McEnerney and 7. J.
Lyons do not intend to allow Anselmo
Jose Maria de Laveaga to obtain posses
sion OF one-iourth of the late Jose Vicente
de Laveaga's estate without a struggle, as
they have filed petition in the Probate
Court asking Judge Coffey to exclude said
Anselmo from the controversy in regard
to the distribution OF the property because
of bis want of interest in the matter.
Acting for Maria Josefa Cebria2 and
Maria Conception de Laveaga, Messrs.
Lyons and McEnerney also give notice OF
a motion to strike out Anselmo de Lave
aga's answer and cross petition.
The claim made by Anselmo Tor an in
terest in the estate is based upon the fact
that he is the son of brother of the de-
ceased. 1t is admitted that he was horn
out of wedIock, but there is ABUNDANT
proof that mis- father took all legal means
10 legitimize him under the laws of Cal
ifornia.
1t is not disputed that the decisions in
the Jessup and Blythe cases would give
him a right to inherit his fathers estate /;
but his father died before his uncle, and
Attorney J. J. Dwyer is pressing the
young mans claim TO the share which his
father would have taken had he survived.
This is a question that was never be-
fore considered by any court in California.
The argument is set for the 25th inst.

A BRILLIANT RECORD.
What Doctor Cook Is Doing for the Sick
and Suffering.
Great Physician and Surgeon, Whose Career
Is Series of Professional
Triumphs.

found learning and superb skill are pow
erful factors in his favor, but, coupled
with all this, he has every apparatus ap-
pliance and instrument essential to the
most modern methods of practice. His
com bination of electrical devices is one of
the finest and most complete in the
world, and he administers electricity in
conjunction with medicines when deemed
advisable.
These equipments, together with his
fair, honest and upright methods of bust
ness. have brought to Doctor Cook people
from every station OF life and all four quar-
tiers of the globe.
As shown by his testimonial file, Doctor
Cook cures all kinds of female complaints,
lost or failing manhood. mems private all
ments, varicocele, hydroceIe, structure
catarrh, rheumatism, rupture, piles, blood
and skin diseases. and all diseases of the
eye, ear, nose, brain, throat, heart, lungs
liver, stomach, kidneys. bladder and urin-
airy organs.
A large portion of Doctor Cooks treat
msnt is by mail. He usually desires at
least one personal visit when convenient
to the patient, but his system of home
treatment by correspondence is eminently
satisfactory and always successful. His
address is 865 Market street, San Fran
cisco, and his Office hours are from TO II
A. NJ. and 2 to and to P. NJ, except
Sundays, when he may be consulted from
10 to u a. NJ. only.

The record of Doctor Cook here in San
Francisco is a credit to himself and an
honor to the profession that he so ably
represents. He has accomplished greater
good, relieved more suffering, gladdened
more hearts and made happy more
homes within the past few months than
other eminent physicians have been able
10 do in years. He makes no pretensions
to perform impossibilities, bnt some of his
cures do seem but little less than miracu-
lous. Many of his m st brilliant triumphs
have been in the complete cure of stub

Superior Court of San Francisco, who has
been in the City of Roses trying the con-
tested water cases of that community,
wherein j. Mock is plaintiff and the city

a certain extent turns on the qualities of

superior to that which may be drawn from
the municipal pipes.

OUR WASHINGTON REPRESENTA-
TIVE.

These are days which bring
anxiety to all classes. The mer-
chants and planters are anxious
about the sugar question. The an
nexationists are anxious about
what the coming events viii be.
Even the Royalists are anxious
about something or other. This
anxiety causes irritation and a dis
position TO find fault and blame
somebody.
Even our official representatives
in Washington are blamed or crit
icized by some people, who are i'm
patient at what they call the long
delay" and persuade themselves
that it can be shortened, if Mr..
Hatch and Mr.. Hastings will do
more work" Most men interested
in matter and kept in ignorance
of its situation or outcome fret at
delay, and become suspicious that
the right thing Is not being done.
If Mr.. Hatch and Mr.. Hastings
should send a daily report of their
Iabors, official and private, on be
half of the interests they repre-
sent, we have not the slightest
hesitation in saving that every one
who believes in their immediate
mission would be thoroughly salts
fed 1t is hardly expedient that
these gentlemen make public these
matters.
Bullock, in his History of
the Confederate Navy, says the
friends Of the Southern cause in
England, instead Of trusting to the
leaders, demanded news of the
progress Of events, and then, in
pure simplicity, gave it away to
the elnissaries Of the enemy. Our
representatives are doing constant
", in season and out of season,
most arduous, disagreeable brain
taxing work in a manly. straight
forward manner But they do not,
for the amusement Of our own lit
tie public, rush to the house tops
and proclaim it every hour.
However successful they may
be. they win find out, if they have
not already found it out, that pub.
