GAME FROM ALASKA.
Introduction of the Ptarmigan
90 the Tamalpais
Preserve.
A Brace of These Beautiful Birds for
the Aviary of Col en- Gate
Park.

The Golden Gate Park and the Tamal-
pals Sportsmen's Club preserve have
added to their game birds a brace of
ptarmiean.
This grand game bird is mem Der Of
the grouse family that Inhabits the cold
regions of the north and affords sports.
men grand shooting during the autumn
months. The plumage of the ptarmigan
is ash-colored, but as winter approaches it
becomes white "a provision of nature
which protects the birls from the sharp
eyes of vermin and birds OF prey when the
ground Is covered with snow.
The birds haunt the lofty heights in
winter and feed on the moss of trees and
whatever picking they can find on the
pine branches. They descend in the spring
of the year TO breed in the valleys and
wax fat on the berr les and buds of trees.
For several years sportsmen OF some
the Eastern States have been figuring on
a scheme for the capture o. suffici mt
number OF these fine game birds for
stocking purposes, but the idea was ahan-
doned when it was learned from expert
enced bird fancers that the ptarmigan
would not live during the voyage.
This is now proved beyond all question
OF argument to be false supposition.
The schooner Herman. which has Just ar
rived from Kadiak Island, which is in
Alaskan territory, had on board two brace
of those highly priced BIRDS They
were captured by E. ". Littlejohn of the
Herman, who supplied the vessel with
game during its stay at the island in
question.
In speaking of the game birds ana ami
mails OF that region Mr.. Littlejohn said
that with the assistance of two shipmates
he bagged 600 ptarmigan in two days and
that the birds he now has in his posses
sion were slightly winged with small
shot. making them easy OF capture They
are now in fine condition and got along
splendidly during the voyage to this
city. Oae of the male birds grew very
tame and was taught to chuck like a tame
chic ken when it wanted food which con-
sisted of corn. wheat and berries.
The brace which Captain George Scott
has at his residence, i'll Alameda will
doubtless be presented by the captain TO
Mr.. McLaren, the superintendent of the
park; they will be consigned to the
aviarv. Mr.. john is very anxious
that the brace in his possession will prop
agate their species, and with that object
in view he hopes to see the ptarm igan be-
come one of the game birds which Will
afford the sportsmen of the Tamalpais
Club grand shooting few years hence.

HAS He JURISDICTION =?
Justice of the Peace Barry's
Position as an Acting
Police Judge.
It Is Alleged He Occupied Judge
Conlan's Seat Without Legal
Invitation.

A question involving the right Of Ju'-
tee of the Peace to sit as a police magis-
trate in a criminal case without legal
invitation is about to be decide by Su-
peror Judge Carroll Cook il the case OF
r. H, Paterson. who is charged with an
assault with deadly weapon. The case
originally grew out OF a barroom fracas IN
one of the gin resorts on Market street
some time ago, in which it is alleged that
Paterson used Iolice mans club on TWO
obstreperous night customers. For this
alleged offeuse he was held by Judge Con-
Ian 10 answer before the Superior Court.
But under the careful pruning of legal
technicalitieS discovered in the plead1ngs
by W. H,ff Cook the Information was
found to be full of fatal flaws. So much
so that the case was sent back to the Po-
lice Court for correction. On the second
hearing Judge Conlan declined to hear
the case, and in order that justice might
not be defrauded out of her rights Justice
of the Peace Barry heard the case and in
turn held Paterson to answer before the
higher court Here again Hoff Cook
found that Justice Barry had not been ie-
gally invited TO occupy Judge Conlan's
seat, and as a consequence again attacks
the information filed against his client
Paterson in Judge Carroll Cooks depart
ment.
The legal contention in this case is that
under the consolidation act a Justice OF
the Peace to have police jurisdiction must
be delegated by the Mayor to perform the
duty in the absence or disability OF the
Police Judge. This section of the old con-
solidation law has been reduced 10 trag-
ment by the thousands of amendments
injected into it by the Legislature from
time 10 time. At the last session of the
Legislature an act Wss passed which pro-
vlued that Police Judge can request a
Justice of the Peace to act for him. But
in this case no such request has been
made by Judge Con ian to Judge Barry TO
hold court for him, or at least no such re-
quest appears in the proceedings of that
court and on this technicality Hon Cook
expects to pull Paterson scot free out of
the legal meshes OF the law.
The case is an Interesting one inasmuch
as it will settle the DISPUTED point as TO
which of the authorities. viz, the Mayor
or the Police Judge has the power 10 as
sign Justice of the Peace to preside in
the absence OF a Police Judge. Or in the
absence of such ar order or request, has a
Justice of the Peace criminal Jurisdiction
IN this city and county.

A Deleterious Substance Was
Placed in Their
Food.
The Police of Three Cities Trying
to Find the Perpe-
traitors.

OAKLAND, CAL, Sept. 98. - The
police OF this ely, San Francisco and
Sacramento are making every effort
TO unrayel a mystery that SUR ounds the
Clune family, LYING on Sixth street, near
Webster.
About two weeks ago some poisonous
substance was found IN nearly every Kind
OF iood there was in The house Mrs.
Ciune and the two children were badly
burned in the throat with anything they
ate and violent spasms were common.
The nature OF the violent ir:itant is now
being determined by the State Chemist
Ar investi5at on was made and it as
found that some one had tempered with
the food and had literally placed a sub
stance, supposed 10 be arsenic in the artl-
cles that the family were likely to use
every day. Mrs. Ciune ana her children
suffered for few days, and then becom.
ing convinced that there was conspiracy
afoot to poison the family she consulted
the police. From the method employed
by the party who added the foreign sub
stance o the food it was very plain that
1t was not accidental, but had been care
fully planned.
At the time that the poison was frs;
discovered Il woman who had been room
ing ct Mrs. Clune's house disappeared
without telling any one she was going.
She took her trunk in the morning and
has not been since seen. 1t is believed
that she ought to know something of the
parties who were intent on poisoning The
family, and 1t is for her the police are
searching.
Mrs. CIune is prominent in the non par
tisan ". c. T: T., and was formerly con-
nected with the Humane Society.
She Is highly respecleI title woman
and lives in her own house with Two boys
about and 10 years Of age. She is We'll
known for her many charitable acts, and,
although she sometimes rents her rooms
she nearly always has an unfortunate in
her house on whom ehe bestows every
kindness. Her husband is a travelling
man and is now up north, but will soon
return and help his wife Try and fad the
guilty party.
According to the story told Chief OF
Police Lloyd the poison was first found IN
box OF French candy. The children ate
some and were soon taken sick. They had
cramps and vomited freely, butnotI ought
OF poison was enter aimed by Mrs. Clune.
a little later a pudding was EIDE with
some cornstarch, and when II was eaten
all three in the family suffered from
burned Threats and mouths. The vinegar
cruet and the bottles OF extracts were also
tam pered with.
The ariiCles that are SUPPOSED to be
OlSoned were taken charge of by the
pouce ana sent to State Chemist WenZell
at the university TO be subjected 10 Chem
ical analysis. the results not vet known,
but II is believed that more tnan one klnd
of irritant was used. the Efforts OF the
police are directed toward finding the
missing woman in the hol e that she may
be alb to assist in detecting the guilty
parties.

GOODSPEBD COMPROMISE.
Probability That the BiG Will Contest
Will Be Abandoned.

Probability That the BIG Will Contest
Will Be Abandoned.
Judge Coffey yesterday listened to argu-
ment and testimony in regard to the pro-
posed com promise ano settlement of the
controversy that has so long ragged over
the estate of the late Mrs. Lucy C. Good
speed.
When Mrs. Goodspeed died she LETT an
estate that at present is estimated to be
worth 5000 600 but it may turn out to be
of much greater value. In her will the
lady left the greater part of her property
to her two minor children and cut off her
three adult children with $50 each, saying
that they did not need it as much as the
minors.
A contest was at once filed on the usual
grounds OF undue influence and unsound-
ness of mind OF the testator. Ii was al
legged that Mrs. Goodspeed had suffered
from several strokes of paralysis and that
it was after the first of these strokes that
shs wrote the will which attempted to
deprive the elder children of their share
OF the property; that up to that time she
had never made any difference in her
treatment of her children and that her
affection for each and all was equal
Pending the trial of the contest ali
parties concerned appeared in court yes
terday and asked the Judge to sanction
compromise whereby the Two minor heirs
shall receive so Der cent and the adult
heirs shall take so per cent, 10 be distrib-
uted equally among them.
The minors are Rtland Z. Goodsp,ed and
Florence Norlne Goodspeed and the
adults are Mrs. Annie Stanford, Mrs.
Jennie Snowgrass and Orville c. Pratt
Goodspeed.
Attorney Heggerty caustically criticised
Attorney S. NJ. Shortridge because the
latter spoke of he proposed settlement as
hard bargain in favor of the adult heirs.
Most of the attorneys engaged in the
case appeared to think the proposed COM
promise fair and Ut and Judge Coffey
remarked that the was disposed to give
his consent, the consideration of the
family matters that might be dragged
into the litigation If the contest pro-
ceeded weighing with him in the matter.
H was not prepared to decide the point
offhand, however, and put the case over
until Friday morning at II o'clock for de-
cision. The court did not conceal the fact
that he considered the proposed settle
ment a good bargain for the adult heirs.

RAIL SHOOTERS BEWARE.
The Game Wardens of Alameda and
San GIateo Counties Give Timely
Warming.

The Game Wardens of Alameda and
San Mateo counties have requested THE
CALL to draw the attention of the local
sportsmen 10 the fact that the season for
shooting rail in those counties will not
com mence before October Is. and that all
persons detected in the act of shooting
them before the opening Will be promptly
arrested. AS there are many local hunters
who never think of reading a newspaper
contemplating great days rail shooting
on Friday and Saturday next on the Bel
mont marshes, doubtless the Game
Warden and his assistant will reap a har-
vest of coin that will be unwillingly sur
rendered.
