MANY HORSES
FALL TO EARTH
Paralysis Is Prevalent in Con-
sequence OF Too High
Feeding.
a Serious Epidemic Is Now Attack
ing All the Work
Animals.

There was CONSERVATION among the
teamsters and draymen yesterday on
account of their horses falling helpless
upon the highways and byways of the
city. Fine large draught animals and
several thoroughbreds dropped to the
pavement as though struck by a bolt of
lightning. The horse ambulances of
every veterinary institution in the city
were called into use, and the helpless
beasts were carted away to be placed
under the care of those who doctor
equines. During the day no less than
eighty horses were thus stricken and
sent to the hospitals.
The cause of all this suffering was
paralysis. induced by too much hearty
feeding during the two holidays. The
technical name for this ailment." said
DR.. Z. j. Greedy, the veterinary sur
geon, lis 'azotura,' and it is one of the
hardest complaints that we have to
deal with. The easiest way to exDIain
the nature of the disease is to begin
with healthy animal. Take a horse
that is worked during the week and
well fed. Let hlm cease work for sew
eral days and the owner keep up the
diet of grain and bran. This food
contains a large amount of saccharine
matter, and this heterogeneous food sets
up a hypernitrogenous condition. for
the internal arrangement of the horse
is different from that of the human
being, and instead of being taken up
and worked over by the kidneys. il
passes into the blood upon the first
exercise. The horse starts out feeling
frisky for his rest and good food. After
going a little distance the blood be-
comes as if infiamed, the horse breaks
fr,f ft4co t.,
staggers. The next move is down, for
the animal is sure to fall. BY this
time paralysis has set in, and then
comes the ambulance"
DE-. Greedy led the way into his hos
pital, where half a dozen fine horses
lay helpless in the stalls, unable to
move their hind legs. 1t seems that the
paralysis strikes them in the spine.
Some of the animals have the power TO
move their fore feet, but their hind
legs are absolutely useless. 1t is truly
pitiful to witness the suffering of the
poor beasts, for they seem to realize
that they are in the grasp of a terrible
foe, and if they are not bound firmly
they will thrash around and beat their
heads and shoulders to a jelly. Sew
eral in the first stages were able to
stand, but the perspiration continued
to pour from their skins.
The doctor said he expects that
within the next week there will be
many more cases because of the lay
off from work of the next holiday.
when the horses will be allowed to
stand for two or three days without
being worked. He said: Il would like
to warn the owners Of horses against
being too kind to their stock in the
matter of feeding on such occasions
Let them give only good hay and no
grains or bran This COMPLAINT attacks

DEFENDED HIS BEER.
JereDioh Sullivan, q Soloon-Keep-
er, kDocked Down by the DriV-
er Of G Beer Wagon.

jeremiah Sullivan, proprietor of a
saloon at 456 Natoma street, swore to
a complaint in Judge Joachimsen's
court yesterday for the arrest of Den
mis- Murphy on a charge of battery.
Sullivan's story is that he used to
take his beer from the Columbia
Brewery, but recently he had patron
lied another brewer. Murphy is a
driver for the Columbia, and took the
change as a personal affront.
Last Friday Sullivan was in John
Cronin's grocery, on Jessie street,
near Fourth, when Murphy entered.
Sullivan was standing with his hands
in his pockets and Murphy went up to
him and remarking, so you are say

Durrant's Attorneys Make
More Moves in Two
Courts.
State Supreme Tribunal Peti-
toned for a Writ Of
Probable Cause.
Judge Bahrs Perfects the Transcript
on Appeal by Making an
Annexation.

And now come the attorneys for
Murderer Durrant TO make their last
desperate play in the game intended
to save the neck of their client from
the moose; indignantly but forcibly ex-
pressed, the case of William Henry
Theodore DurTant is truly coming
down to cases.
The last move of the defendants at
torneys took a double form, in which
both the Superior and the Supreme
Courts furnished a field of action. In
the more august tribunal the father
of the convicted man filed petition by
his attorneys for a writ of probable
cause on the appeal to be issued. stay
ing all proceedings of the Superior
Court made under the order of Decem-
Der Is, and directing the Warden of
the State Prison at San Quentin TO
make no execution until the determin-
alton of the appeal by the Supreme
Court.
Attached to the petition is a certified
copy of the order fixing January Z as
the date for the execution of the death
sentence, the objection of defendant s
attorneys to the order, their exception
Court and the petition for writ of
probable cause presented to Judge
Bahrs, which was denied.
The objection to the judgment of
Bahrs is based upon the fact that the
sentence is to be executed within thir-
ty days from the time of sentence, and
it is maintained that under section
1917 of the Penal Code the execution
cannot take place within less than
sixty days nor more than ninety days
from the time of passing sentence. The
case will be argued in the Supreme
Court chambers at p. m. to-day.
About p. m. yesterday Attorney
Louis p Boardman of counsel for de-
PENDANT appeared in Judge Bahrs'
chambers with a copy of the trans
cript on appeal. Walter Huxley was
sent for to represent the District At
torney's Office. The purpose of the
meeting was to perfect the transcript
on appeal from Judge Bahrs' last or
der
1t viii be remembered that Attorney
Deuprey asked at this time for permits
sion to file an affidavit setting forth
certain facts, which was granted. and
that afterward Judge Bahrs and Deu-
prey clashed on the allegation of the
Court that Deuprey had inserted GER
tain things in the affidavit of which he
had not given notice in open court.
This matter was settled yesterday by
the Judge making a kind of annota-
tion TO be inserted in the transcript, eX-
planning for the benefit of the Supreme
Court the facts in connection with this
difference of opinion. The document
was then filed in the County Clerk s
office.

TAYLOR WAS NOT ROBBED.
A SeDsotionol Hold-Up Story Ex-
pIoded by the Police.

F. A. Taylor, the cashier of a Mar

mittee venture in sending a special car
to the East loaded with literature ad-
vertising the advantages of San Fran
cisco as an Quitting port is becoming
more manifest every day. The follow
ing letter from D. NJ. Carman, who is
in charge of the car, bears out this
assertion:
Car San Felipe, en- route between
Cheyenne and Denver, Dec. 81 1897.
Mr.. H. H. Sherwood, Chairman Alaska
Trade Committee, San Francisco, Cal.
Dear Sir; The phenomenal success with
which We are meeting leads me TO sug-
gest the Importance of a continuance OF
the work east of Chicago. The creden-
tlalS Whlch we are carrying, including
letters from the Governor and Mayor to
Governors and Mayors, and from the
Chamber of Commerce Merchants As
ISOLATION and Board of Trade to similar
organizations, assure US of as cordial
reception in the states and cities ahead
of US as have been accorded US in those
through which We have come.
This in turn gives us an opportunity
OF using the press in such a manner as
TO secure for us thousands of dollars
worth of advertising for San Francisco
that could not otherwise be secured at
any price In view of the Importance
of the work, the necessity for prompt
action and the possible results at COM
paratlVely small cost, / would advise the
committee make a strenuous effort to
secure sufficient added funds to warrant
that all our money is at present appro-
priated and so would not think of Law
ing out new work unless those who are
benefited directly or indirectly are will
ing to furnish the necessary means to
properly carry on the work so auspic-
iouSly begun.
In addition TO the receptions. associated
press dispatches and newspaper articles
we are having a continued stream of Wis
itors at every stopping place. To indi-
cate the interest taken in the move
ment by the railroad officials as well as
others, let me say that the manager of
the Rio Grande Western Company, in re-
Spouse to my telegram asking for free
transportation from Ogden to Salt Lake
an engine to run us over Special in
order to save US a few hours.
The Governor of Wyoming, w. A.
Richards, formerly of San Jose and Oak
land is with us going to Denver for the
purpose of presenting us to Governor
Adams of Colorado and Mayor McMur-
rev, and to be present at the meeting
which will be held at the opera house at
Denver tomorrow night.
When such things as these are tele-
graphed ahead you can readily under
stand that they create a sensation and
give us an opportunity of using the press
freely.
The special object of this letter is to
ascertain whether or not sufficient funds
can be raised to warrant the expenditure
of say $1,000 in an eastern tour with our
present efficient corps and complete ex-
hibit.
Please wire me at Chicago on receipt
of this your views and I will then after
carefully canvassng the situation decide
upon a course of action. Yours very
| truly, d. M. CARMAN.
