RE|DING DISEASED COWS,
Berkeley's H alth o fcsr Makes
a Startling Discovery at the
West End.
He Lies in Wait in a Swsmp for
Twenty-S K Hours to Take a
Law-br aking Butcher.

BERKELEY, CAL. Feb. IL. - Health
Officer RoweIl has started vigorous cru.
sade against the butchering of diseased
cattle and the selling of impure milk. He
says he no longer intends to have the peo-
pie of Berkeley subjected to the risk of
contracting typhoid fever and kindred
maladies by butchers and milkmen, who
foist upon them unclean and unwhoIe-
some meat and milk.
Suspecting that a certain West Berke-
ley butcher was killing diseased cattle for
the market DR.. Rowell and Deputy Mar
shal Rawson lay in wait for twenty-six
hours in the swamp at the West End
when finally they captured their man in
the act of killing sicK COW. OF his ex-
plot and of what he intends to do with
similar cases DR.. Rowell has the following
to say for publication:
Monday we were informed that a resident of
Berkeley had sold 10 Frank Glaser of the
Golden West market badly diseased cow
officer Rawson was detailed by Marshal Lloyd
10 assist in the case, and together we COM
menced q watch ior the animal TO be deliy-
cred, which we were informed would be done
under the cover of the dark. Shortly after
dark we were rewarded by seeing the COW led
into the barnvard in the rear OF Glaser's resi-
dence and where 1t is alleged he is accustomed
to slaughter animals within few feet of his
waited in the vicinity until nalfpast 4 the
following day we observed him slip into his
barn and begin TO butcher. at which time we
made our presence known and watched the
process. He admitted that he intended offer
ing 1t for sale.
The Condition OF this COW was simplv
nauseating. The liver was freely spotted W tn
large Iubercular masses; the glands were
broken down; the lungs had undergone a
cheesy degeneration SO that the animal
breathed with only a small portion of one OF
them; in TACT she was as nearly dead as is
possible to imagine and still be able 10 stand.
This morning Chaser was arrested ana ap-
peared before Judge Gentry, where he pleaded
guilty to a charge of butchering the animal
and after paying the immense fine of SIS was
given his liberty.
This cow TO be sure is disposed of and de-
stroyed but a maE can make money and still
pay an occasional fine of this amount We are
NOT desirous OF prosecuting any one, but we
shall yigorou,ly prosecute these people who
are poison ng their patrons by inches Further
more butchers and milkmen alike daily volun.

S PAID FOR TWO JOBS,
Robert L. Mann an Example of
the Meth dS of Rainey
Politics.
IS an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
and a Teacher in the Rich
mond School.

The ways OF Rainey politics are devious.
Under the regime the stable boss has in
augurated at the City Hall Robert L.
Mann finds himself on the municipal pay
roll in two different departments.
Mann is at present one of the assistant
prosecuting attorneys in the Police courts.
He was member of the Democratic cam
paign committee and for his services to
the party the stable boss promised him
seat al the pie C unter. Mann was slated
for $3.50 month job as one of the Police
Court prosecuting attorneys, but when
the time to deliver the goods arrived
affairs were so complicated that he was
obliged to accept place as an assistant at
a salary of $l25 month.
Mann is also an employe of the School
Department. He is a teacher in the Rich
mond night school, or to be more specific,
he is the whole school, and for instruct
ing the youn of that neighborhood once
or twice week he receives salary of $50.
The Grand Jury may be asked to investi-
gate how it is that a City employe can
hold two public positions and receive two
salar. es in violation of the law.
Mann had offices previous to his ap-
poItment to an Office in the police courts
with Con ngressman Mcguire. His friend
ship and admiration for Rainey has al
ways been marked; so much so that the
big boss some weeks ago he'd caucus in
Maguire's office, much to the surprise and
chagrin OF the Congressman's friends.

A CHILD'S PLANT.
She Charges That Thomas Dillon and
His Wife Conspire to Defraud Her
of Her $4,000 Patrimony

Catherine ]. Brown, a minor, by her
guardian anu attorney, Donzel Stoney,
has fled a suit against Thomas
Dillon and Bridget Dillon, his wife,
for the recovery of piece of land on
First street, near the corner of Mission
street, IN this City, valued at $40, 900,
which Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon are alleged to
unIawfully hold from the plaintiff.
The complaints set forth that Mathew
F. Brown, the father of the plaintiff in
this suit died in this City on the 31st of
December, 1894. and that on the day of his
death and Immediately before his death
he signed document, purporting to be a
deed OF conveyance of the premises men,
toned to said Bridget Dillon, and that the
deed was recorded on the I'd OF January,
1895.
The dead mans young daughter al
leges that at the time of the signing of the
purported deed her father was not of
sound mind, and that he was mentally in
competent Il sign that deed or any deed.
Miss Brown charges that the pretended
deed was procured by means of the undue
influence and fraud OF Mir. and Mrs.
Dillon; that her father had been sick with
consumption for a long time and was at
deaths door at the time of the gning;
that from the moment of the 81 ming and
until the moment OF his death he was, by
reason OF MS sickness ana weakened con-
dition, extremely susceptible 10 the influ-
ence and articles of designing persons,
including the defendants herein named;
that these defendants, recognizing his ex-
treme susceptibility to their influence and
articles, conceived the design and intent
to influence and control him in the dispo-
sition of his property to their advantage
and to the prejudice of his minor daugh-
ter; that with this intent, they prepared
the deed in question and compelled him
to write his name at the end of the docu-
ment, though they knew it did not con-
form to his wishes.
Miss Brown complains that this pre-
tended deed constitutes an unnatural
and inequitable disposition of her fathers
property; that he had always been kind
ana affectionate father to her and mindful
of her welfare, but by this purported deed
the whole of his estate with the exception
of $500 was attempted TO be conveyed,
thus making no provision for the support
and maintenance of his child, the plaintiff
in this suit.
Miss Brown asks that the deed be can
celed and that she be adjudged the owner
of the $4,000 worth of real estate.

She Is Likely to Become the Object of
Two suits.
Another phase of the struggle for the
custody of little Efie r. n. Holstrom is
about to be enacted, as Mrs. Sarah d'Arte-
nay, the mother OF the girl, has filed an
application to be appointed guardian of
her own child.
The litigation in regard to this matter
has attracted much attent on in the public
press on account of the unusual circum-
stances attending the case. The child was
born out of wedlock, and the mother, then
known as Sally Mcclure, executed So
called pill OF sale of the infant when it was
six days old to Mrs. Lucinda Holstrom for
the sum OF $40. Mrs. Holstrom neglected
to legally ADOPT the ch Id, and some time
ago Officer Frank ]. Kane took forcible
possession of the little one ana delivered
it 10 its mother, who took it 10 Woodland,
in this State. Mr.. Holstrom, husband of
the child's foster other, learned OF the
hiding-place of Mrs. 'Artenay and went
to Woodland, and by strategy and torce
regained the custody of the child.
Now both mothers have filed petitions
for the care and custody of the little girl,
and each alleges that the other is an unfit
person TO have the custody of a minor.
The case will come up for hearing in
Judge Coffey's department of the Supe-
rior Court on the Oath of the present
month.

news was circulated the credit of the
Camerons was rated very high, ana Mrs.
Cameron furnished a fine mansion in
East Oakland, and when the fortune came
not the furniture-dealer resorted to the
courts to recover his property.
A little time after this incident Elwood
Cameron met Miss Lottie Gunther, 10
whom he was attracted partly from svm-
pathy. Miss Gunther came into notice by
being found in an unconscious condition
on her mothers grave at Mountain View
Cemetery. An empty poison bottle was
found by her side and she stated upon re-
covery that she had been led to attempt
suicide because of the death OF her mother
and the unkindness OF her father.
Soon after this she was engaged to El-
wood Cameron. but he was still under
age when in March Of last year he secured
his m others consent to marry. The day
after the wedding he deserted his young
vile, and for a long time he resided in
East Oakland and she has been staying a
the Chabot Home.
Elwood cameron never went near his
wife until the night prior to the death of
their little child, which occurred a few
weeks ago. Even under those conditions
the young people were not completely
reconciled, but last night when they at
tended together the wedding in the vestry
the old affection was rekindled, and Ell
wood took the initiative in bringing about
perfect reconciliation. He has a home
in East Oakland, and it is very proba bic
that in few days they will occupy it to-
gether,

YOUNG WIFE IN TROUBLE.
Once Arrested for Lunacy and Now for
Distur bance.


HAYWARDS, CAL, Feb. 17.-Much in
terest has been caused all day by the trial
OF Mrs. Manuel Garcia for disturbing the
peace of Joseph Souza. The defendant is
the child wife of Manuel Garcia. She is
10 years of age and has been married more
Than year.
Two weeks ago the child created a sem
sation by reporting to the Sheriff that her
husband had murdered their little baby
and had hidden it in the hills. A search
was made and the fact was established
that child had never been born to them
and that it was only the haIlucinatlon OF
the girl. Beca use OF her belief, Mrs. Gar
cia, II was stated. attempted to kill her
husband, but on promising to behave
herself III the future she was released.
A lew days later the girl wife went to
the house OF Souza, where her husband
was stopping, and, it is alleged, created
flee was assisted by Attorneys Lansan
and Lemos, and Judge Lamson of San
Leandro defended.
The whole day was consumed in testi-
mony and argument before the Jury The
case was bitterly fought on both sides and
did not get 10 the jury till about o'clt OK
tonight. An hour later they returned q
verdict OF not guilty. The courtroom was
packed, and when she was acquitted they
cheered loudly.
Manuel Garcia stands highly in local
Portuguese society, and from the mum Der
OF witnesses against his young W fe she is
evidently unpopular. but from the jury's
view unpopularity is not a crime.
