A MAGNIFICENT ELK.
Tho State Board OF Trade Rooms En-
livened by siskiyon County
Exhibit.


Captain A. w. Brown, q. 8. A., was
busily engaged yesterday, with the assist
ance of c. M. Johnson, floor superintend-
ent, in placing in position on the east side
of the State Board Of Trade rooms on Post
street a collection of deer heads that will
add much to ths finished appearance of
the exhibit.
The central figure is the head and neck
OF majestic elk weighing 21O pounds.
When alive the animal must have
weighed between 600 and 700 pounds. 1t
was one OF a band of seven and fell by
Captain Browns own hand. Eks have
been hunted so persistently in Siskiyou
County that they have not been seen in
twenty years except now and then in
small bands.
Grouped around the elk. head are the
heads of twenty deer, all magnificent
bucks. One is what is called tighter"
the prominent characteristic being de-
cided tendency toward Roman nose.
On shelf under the coll ection of deer
heads have been placed two large white
owls. killed near Crescent City last winter.
A flock of about 200 were driven down
from Alaska by the exceeding frigidity Of
that rigorous cline.
Three Japanese pheasants, one female
ana two males, placed under the owls,
add TO the artistic appearance of the
exhibit.
Captain Brown has extensive copper
mines near Grants Pass, Oregon, and
some in California near the boundary
line. The elk's and deer heads werc in
tended TO adorn his own dining-room, but
he finally concluded to place them in
position at the State Board of Trade
rooms to show what Siskiyou and Del
Norte counties are in the way of hunter s
paradise.

RAILWAY BONDS ARRIVE.
They Are Of tho Valley Road, but Will
Not Be Sold for Some Time-San
RafaePs Petition.

Some of the first mortgage forty-four-
year gold bonds of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railway arrived here
yesterday fresh from the presses in New
York, and the remainder will continue to
come till all are here.
The lot which arrived yesterday con-
sisted of $50. There is nothing unusual
about them. They are much like mining
stock freshly issued and unsig gned except
that they are in different shape. To each
bond, which bear the face value OF $1,000
is attached The coupons, each OF which is
good for $25 interest every six months.
This is at the rate of per cent year.
1t is believed the bonds will bring con-
siderably above par. However, Mr.. Watt
raid yesterday he had no idea when any
of the bonds would be placed on sale.
The road, he continued, was not ready for
it and probably would not be for some
time.
The directors of the road held their reg.
ular meeting yesterday, but little was done
besides auditing several bills and transact
ing general routine business.
The directors of the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railroad also met yester-
day. One important matter before them
was tho consideration of q petition from
San Rafael asking for lower fares. The
matter was discussed and went over tor
thirty DAYS. Vice President Foster said
several of the directors had not before
heard Of the petition. They concluded to
take more time to look into it.

SINGER CHARLEY
TORE HIS HAIR
The Impresario's Anguish
Caused by an Attach
ment.
Belief, Stage Manager of the
French Opera Company,
Sues His Star.
Said to Be the Result Of a Misunder.
standing Property to Bs
Released To-Day.

Monsieur Charley tore his hair.
Attached! Disgraced! And by q man
he had thought his friend.
Perhaps thcre had been some mistake
he would look again.
No, there was no mistake; he had been
sued and his beautiful costumes and stage
paraphernalia attached by Emile Belief.
There was the writ of attachment and the
gendarme who served it, and the ponder
Gus Sheriff's lock-alas, it was too true.
Monsieur Charley tore his hair again,
for he is an impresario, and such actions
are part of his daily or rather nightly
routine. The story OF Monsieur Charley's $
trouble is this:
When the French Opera Company, now
playi in this City and in which he is a
star, left Paris there was urgent need of
money-to DO precise, 1000 irancs-to get
the company to New Orleans. At first
there was some gu uestion as to where it
was to bs obtained. but Monsieur Charley
is a man of resources, and he soon nego-
tiated loan of the money from Partisan
banking house.
The bankers heard that the New Orleans
season had been profitable, but the ex-
pected draft did not materialize, and when
the company reached here the fnanciers
began to grow anxious.
Emile Belief is the stage manager and
director of the company. and he was re-
quested by the bank to jog Nj. Charley's
memory and take legal steps to collect the
money if this expedient failed.
Belief at first demurred, for he was
friend of the impressario but be was
finally induced by the bank to act as its
agent. and when requests for liquidation
of the debt failed to bring results he sued.
Attorney Ruef drew up the papers. which
peremntoriIy demanded the payment of
$1411 80 the American equivalent of 1000
francs. and-M. Charley tore his hair.
Attorney Ruef is authority for the state
ment that the matter has been amicably
settled; that the whole affair was the re-
suit of Misunderstanding, and that the
property attached will be released this
morning.
Last evening M. Charley had evidently
recovered from his vexation of the morn
ing, for he sang his part in "Sigurd"
without the fainte,t suggestion that his
hear, had been troubled by the sight OF a
Sheriff's writ.

saloon kept by one McManus on Feb
ruary II.
John Lynch was also heard in an ailega-
ton against Michael Costello. in which
Lynch charges Costello with the murder
OF his wife, who was the daughter OF
Lynch. Costello and his wife did not live
happily togetbar. She died suddenly on
the morning OF March 8, 1895. The cir
cumslances were suspicious, and an in
quest was held and an autopsy performed
Nothing was discovered that would war

CISSY rs SUED.
Miss Fitzgerald, Who Winks, Is Called
Into the Superior Court by
Alfred S. White

Cissy Fitzgerald is likely to have her
engagement al the Col nm bia Theater inter-
rupted by the Sheriff if suit that was
filed in the Superior Court against her
yesterday proves successful.
The plaintiff in the action is Alfred
Stanford White. who complains that IN
Novem Der. 1896. ne entered into contract
with Miss Fitzgerald under which the
actress agreed to engage herself to him as
her manager TOR period OF ten weeks
dating from March /, 1897. The salary
was 10 be $1,000 a week and, OF course, the
actress engaged to accept no other profes-
sional engagement during the period men,
toned.
Unhappily. the complainant says, Miss
Fl GERALD repented of her contract when
the time came. and not only refused to
play Tor him but she accepted other en-
eagements, to wit. the one she is now full
filing at tile Columbia Theater.
Mr.. White praises Miss Fitzgerald in or
der to show that his losses are the more
disastrous. In fact her press agent could
not say more in her behalf, but there is
not the slightest suspicion that this is an
