drawn blood.
Young Bowering left the schoolroom at
IL 80 O'Clock. according to the stories told
by the scholars, and was in the hallway
of the building when the dog few at him
and bit him. The animal next attempted

PUYALLUP RESERVATION POLITICS
Interesting Story of Intrigue Back of the
Resignation of Agent Now-

TACOMA, WASH, April 27.-D- r. E.
l.. Newberne, who has been in charge of
the Puyallup Indian Reservation near
here for a mum bsr of years, has made
public his resignation. Frank Terry OF
Montana, at present in charge OF the Crow
Indian Agency, will succeed him.
Back of DR.. Newberne's resignation is
an interesting story. On January IL of
this year he was promoted to the position
of Superintendent lof Indian Schools in
the Northwest. This left the charge of
the PuyaIlup Reservation vacant, ard
Colonel J. J. Anderson, who had shortly
before lost a job as Commissioner of In
dian Lands, applied for the place.
Hugh Wallace opposed him, and he lid
not get IL. Nothing daunted. he applied
for DR.. NeTberne's new position, and two
days be lore Cleveland went out of office
was given the place, and DR.. Newberne
was relegated back to his old position on
the reservation.
DR.. Newberne would not stand this, and
on March rendered his resignation
which has now been accepted. The pecul-
iarity of the transaction is that Illinois
Democrats who supported the gold stand
ard and General Palmer espoused Ander-
sons cause, while Anderson was one of
the hardest workers in this city in sup
port of Bryan and the e-silver move
ment, speaking against the Cleveland ad-
ministration and acting one of the
Central Committee of the Peoples party
forces.

BERiNG SEA CONDITIONS.
the Remnant of the Seal Herd
mn Be Protected

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
27.-Dr. Jordan was seen to- day regarding
the proposed trip to Alaska in connection
with the fur seals. He expects to leave
early in July and return on August 25.
The two commissions which investigated
the subject last year have not disagreed
as to the facts of the case, so far as
known. Great Britain asks that the ratio
of decrease should be definitely known,
as factor in the ultimate settlement.
1t is apparent, first, that the fur seal
herd is already practically commercially
destroyed both on land and sea. This
has brought with it the ruin of the seal
skin industry. Only especial care of the
herd and the exercise of great business
sagacityl can ever restore this business.
The killing of the females is the
only element that has entered into the
destruction of the herd. If the Christian
people OF England and America realized
the full meaning of pelaglc sealing, its
cruelty TO noble animal life and its gross
wastefulness, not another schooner would
be allowed to clear from any civilized port
for this unnatural quest
C. S. Hanlin, late Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury and now special commissioner
OF the treasury, is in consultation with
D. Jordan and Professor Clark on the
subject. Both Mr.. Hamlin and DR..
Jordan are confident that ample protec-

Writhing Under the Pain of
Fractured Limbs, He is
Awaiting Death.
Convicted in San Francisco OF Send

the Mails.

UKIAH, CAL, April 27.-Ferdinand W.
Browback, the crippled son of wealthy
resident of this city, whose case when he
was convicted several months ago of send
ing obscene matter through the m ails at
tracted much attention, is dying of his
obstinacy.
Browback and a companion started to
drive to Hopland on Saturday last and
when near Largo Station a passing freight
train frightened the team and it started TO
run. The road is very narrow at this
point, winding around hillside, and after
running few yards the maddened horses
dashed over the bank, carrying the vehi-
Gle with them. Browback's companion
jumped as the wagon went over and saved
himself, but the unfortunate cripple could
not aid himself and was thrown violently
to the bottom of small gulch, both of his
legs being broken and deep cash cut
in his head.
Browback was conveyed to his fathers
handsome home in this place and ply
sician sent for, but he refused to have the
limbs attended to, saying that he was
useless to himself and every one else and
that he might as well die as not. The in
jured man paid no attention to the plead
ings of his relatives that he allow the sur
geon to operate upon him. Unless he
changes his mind soon his days are num-
bered, for the fractures are bad ones and
gangrene will set in before long.
Browback has had strange career. His
family is well supplied with this worlds
goods and gave him every opportunity for
advancement. Notwithstanding this he
left home several years ago and became a
cowboy, a vocation that he followed for
some time. Finally an accident that Grip
pied both legs compelled him to return
home, and he was familiar sight about
Ukiah, driving little go-cart, into which
he could climb without assistance.
About year ago a number of COM

Heirs of Anne Magoirck File Charges
of fraud Against Dennis
n0H0hUa

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, April 27.-,Mary
Dacy and Lizzie Thomas have brought
suit in the Superior Court of Marin County
against Dennis Donohue, as administrator
of the estate of Anne Magolrick, deceased.
In the complaint filed with County Clerk
Thomas Bonneau Monday afternoon, the
plaintiffs make serious charges against
the administrator, alleging that he we'll
knew that Anne Magolrick left an estate
in California other than a lot with i'm
provements thereon in Healdsburg, and
that Donohue, for the sole pur pose of fraud
uIently and unlawfully imposing upon the
court, falsely alleges and sets forth in his
petition that personal property consist
ing of 100 shares OF the capital stock OF
the Queen Bee Mining Company, 100
shares in the Ameer Mining Company,
and ten shares Ill the Chieftain Gold and
Silver Mining Company were left by the
deceased IN the State OF California.
The plaintiffs declare that Anne Magol-
rick never al any time owned or posses sed
any OF the shares Of stock; that she lett
no shares of stock in this State and that
the sole purpose of Donohue in represent
ing to Judge Angellotti that Anne Magol-
rick left the shares of mining stock In the
county OF Marin was to i'm pose upon the
good faith of the court, and by artIfice and
fraud TO prevail upon the court to assume
jurisdiction over the settlement of the
estate.
The complaint after making these
charges against the administrator, sets
forth that the plaintiffs are daughters and
lawful heirs and next of kin of Anne Ma
golrick. otherwise known as Anne Golden.
and are entitled to share in the distri bu-
tion OF the estate.
1t is claimed that Anne Magolrick died
at County Cavan, Ireland, and left n 10 es-
tate in California except lot in Healds-
burg. On April 8, 1885, the administrator
filed paper purporting to be The last will
OF the deceased, with a petition praying
that the copy OF the will be admitted to
probate. On April q the will was ad-
mitted to probate, and letters of admins
tration were issued 10 defendant on April
80. The complaint alleges that no testi-
mony was offered in behalf of the petit ton
other than the testimony of defendant.
which was reduced 10 writing and filed.
but defendant has not signed the same
although requested TO do so by the clerk
of the court, and he still refuses to do so.
When the estate proceedings were before
Judge Angellotti some time ago Lewis +.
Byington and Dennis Donohue almost
came to blows in the courtroom and were
separated by Donohue's attorney, Judge
E. III. Mahon, after they had laid down
their coats and prepared for hostilities.
There has been considerable fee ing shown
during the estate proceedings.

Portrait in the Daily

Seeks Out the Murderer and Be-
comes His Wife After He
Is Liberated.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 21.-On De-
cember l last Nashville Franklyn Leslie,
giving his residence as San Carlos, Ariz.,
took out a license in this city to marry
Mrs. Belle Stowell whose residence was
put down upon the license as Warren
County, III. He and the woman there
upon sought out Justice Parker and were
welded. Leslie told the Justice roman
tic story, but it was not half as romantic
as the truth would have been. He said
that he was an Indian scout, and stated
further that he and his bride were going
10 China for honeymoon trip. He
promised to send the Justice a curiously
wrought cane from the Orient as a me-
mento.
Nothing more was heard OF the couple
until this forenoon, when San Francisco
detective walked into the County Clerks
office and asked to see the stub OF the IL
book. He then called upon Justice
Parker and the true romance became
known.
Leslie was an Indian scout, as he repre-.
sented himself to be, but he came TO Stock
| ton direct from the Territorial prison IN
Yuma County. Arizona. He exchanged
the stripes for a wedding dress. He had
just served eight years for murder. The
detective who was looking up MIR. Leslie's
record did not remember whether he MUIR
dered his wife or man whom he found
with her, but he was under the impression
| that it was his wife whom he killed.
At that time the San Francisco papers
| published accounts of LeslIe's exploits,
and in the biography of the murderer re-
produced pictures of him. Mrs. Belle
| Stowell, who then lived in San Francisco,
| and who was the eI-wife OF a prominent
man in the employ of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, read the narrative OF
the scouts adventures. and though she
| had never seen him she became infatu-
ated. She had Just been divorced from
her husband. aud she began to correspond
with the murderer. Flowers followed the
| letters, ald then fruit was sent. The
murderer reciprocated, or pretended to,
and the only hindrance TO the marriage
was his Incarceration.
Mrs. Stowell obtained a railroad pass
to Yuma, Ariz., from her ex- x-husband. He
little thought that she was going to join
q murderer upon the latter's release from
prison, but such was her mission. When
! Leslie had served out his time he ana his
| bride-to be came direct to this city, where
the license was obtained and the m arriage
took place.
Mrs. Stowell has been and is still draw
ing $40 monthly alimony from her former
| husband. The latter tired of paying her
this sum, and the detectives mission here
was to obtain evidence whereby the order
of alimony might be revoked.
| Mrs. Leslie is at present in this Stale
but it is said that her husband cannot be
located although it is believed that he
might be In Randsburg. 1t is not known
whether they have separated or not, but

Call the Story In,

The silly yarn still keeps going the
rounds of the press that the pastors
who opposed the prize fight last year
lost support from the business men of
the town, and that several also lost
their pulpits in consequence of the
ministers union that fought the prize
fighters. Rev. Oxley left because his
four years term was out last July, and
the rules of the Methodist church do
not permit longer pastorates. Rev.
Hallam of the Christian church went
east because his wife could not stand
this altitude, and besides he was called
to larger and more important field.
Rev. Millican of the Baptist church
is still the Baptist pastor, and
resigns April l next for reasons en-
tirely foreign to prize fighters or sport
ing interests. Rev. Elliot of the Pres
byterian church left last fall because
he was hired only for year. and his
congregation wanted a more able man.
They have got one. Rev. Hoffman is
with US for the next two years, and the
Congregational pastor who refused to
take part in the opposition to the tistic
carnival, left last summer because tE ere
were not enough Congregationalists in
town to warrant the continuance of q
church organization here.

Fatal Accident,

Innocente Madreno, of Canutillo, a
ranchero aged y and unmarried,
boarded freight train last even ing to
ride home; on trying to get off while the
train was in motion, missed his calcula-
ton and fell under the wheels of the
car.
Modreno's right leg was terribly
crushed and mangled its entire
length, and the left leg was broken
above the knee. The unfortunate man
was removed to his fathers house
where he remained until this mornings
mixed train south brought him to this
city. DR.. White sent the sufferer to
the Sisters hospital at once and he
was taken to the operating room; but
as the man had been in that sad condi-
tion since S o'clock last night; and had
lost so much blood; it was evident that
any operation would have quickly
ended his life, so all that could be
done was to administer morphine in
jections, and make the mans last mo-
ments as comfortable as possible.
Father Lafon administered the rite
of extreme JUNCTION, and Madreno
| died before noon.
