THAT BARBER SHOP BATTLE.
jeff Mayes Held for Assault With
a Deadly Weapon.

Jeff D. Mayes, the colored barber
who was arrested on a charge of as
saulting his employer, A. w. Smith,
with a deadly weapon, had his pre-
liminary examination before Justice
Davis yesterday, and was held TO an
swer before the Superior Court, bail
being fixed in the sum of $500.
The evidence was somewhat con-
iicting. Mayes, it seems, did some
soldering on Saturday last, and
after some warm words with his en-
ployer he was discharged. He de-
manded money he claimed was due him,
but was told he had nothing coming.
He persisted that there was a trifling
amount still due, and renewed his de-
mand that he be paid. Both men were
using violent language, and two Gus
toners vacated the shop, fearing trou-
BILE and flying "razzahs."
Smith testified that Mayes attempted
to get at a razor in his (Smiths) case,
and when frustrated picked up a
hatchet, with which he threatened to
chop Witness head off. He seized
Mayes' arm and the hatchet was
dropped. Mayes then beat the witness,
and the latter ran out of the shop. He
subsequently paid Mayes the balance
the latter claimed was due him.
Mayes testified that he was standing
near Smith examining the day-book
to ascertain how much money was due
him. Both Smith and he were swear
ing and he was demanding that Smith
settle up. The two men in the shop,
anticipating a fight, left the place, and
as they did SO Smith put his hand into
his razor case. which was by his side,
and took out and opened a razor. Wit
ness picked up a hatchet from the
floor and ordered Smith to put up his
razor. Smith obeyed, and the witness
threw down the hatchet and pummeled
him with his fists. Smith afterward
paid him 81.
Several other witnesses were called,
but none were in position to see whe-
ther or not Smith had an open razor
in his hand when Mayes picked up the
hatchet. One testified that Smith had
told Mayes not to strike him with the
hatchet, and another testified that
Smith had not seized Mayes' arm when
he raised the hatchet.

MRS. MARTIN LEAVES PRISON
THE ORDER MADE YESTERDAY
BY THE GOVERNOR. ~
She Il Suffering From a Tumor,
and Her Life Is in
Danger.

Mary E. Martin was arrested in
Alameda in 1892 on a charge Of swim
ding Miss Leonard out of S14,OUO,
and two years later was convicted OF
obtaining money under false pretenses
and sentenced to serve ten years in
the State Prison at San Quentin
Mrs. Martin, the testimony showed,
had a hypnotic or other mysterious
power over her victim, whom she in
duced to turn over money and prop
erty valued at the sum before men
toned.
Even before her sentence Mrs. Mar
tin was suffering from a tumor in the
abdomen, and physicians reports now
on file in the Governors office show
that during Ex-Governor Markham S
term of office he was advised that 1t
would result in her death unless re-
moved.
Governor Budd some time since In
vestigated her application for commu-
tation of sentence, and acting on the
recommendation of the Board of Pris-
on Directors yesterday commuted her
sentence, so that it expired at once.
The recommendation of the Board of
Prison Directors was as follows:
I'm the case of prisoner No. 16,04O,
Mary E. Martin, convicted of the crime
of obtaining money by false pretenseS,
and under sentence of ten years from
Alameda County date of commitment
August 10, 1S94), and whose term ex-
pires February 10, 1901, it appearing
to the board that the said Mary h.
Martin, now confined at San Quentin
Prison, is and has been for more than
one year suffering from tumor Whlch
has grown to great dimensions ana
must be operated upon without delay,
If her life is to be saved.
And it appearing further that such
an operation, to be successful, demands
the services Of several skilled surgeons
and subsequent care that this lnst1tu-
tion cannot provide for female patients;
and it also appears that the prisoner
has served large proportion OF her
sentence, during which time she has
been a great sufferer from illness ana
has endured far more than the aver
age punishment from confinement.
In view of these facts, and with the
concurrence of ex-District Attorney l..
S. Church. who prosecuted the case, we
unanimously recommend that her SEN
tence be COMMITTED to term OF IlVe
years, two months and eight days.
In view of the foregoing report, the
Governor commuted her sentence SO as
to expire yesterday, and Mary r. Mar
tin is a free woman.

as the Louisiana purchase in 1903, the
line of the Southern boundary crossed
the Rocky Mountains and passed on
to the Pacific Ocean, thus including
the section we now know as Oregon
and Washington. This line is laid
down in that way upon all the Off
cial maps of the Federal Government,
and upon all atlas and other map pub
locations, and it is likewise so described
in the school histories. Now comes
Binger Herman, Commissioner General
of the Land Office, and declares that
after long research and close examina-
tion of all the official documents of
cession of the purchased territory, he
discovers that the West boundary did
not extend beyond the Rocky Mount
aims, and that Oregon. Washington and
parts Of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho
marked on the maps as included in
the cession are enormously so indicated.
He has advised that new maps be
issued showing this correction, and the
Secretary of the Interior has approved
the suggestion. Thus we are con-
stantly correcting as well as making

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The County Campaign Will BE on
After Tomorrow.

The Democratic County Convention
will meet at Turner Hall at / o'clock
p. m. tomorrow, and the indications
are that it will not be much behind
some of it's historic predecessors in the
way of lively features
There will be a very spirited contest
between j. M. Morrison and David
Ahern for the nomination for Shar-
iff, and if the forecasts of the street
politicians are to be verified the former
will capture the prize. However, like
a billiard contest, the game of politics
lis never out until it is played out"
The rivals are crackajackS at the
game, and the outlook is for q warm
contest.
There does not appear to be much
of a stir over any of the other offices,
and many of them will no doubt go
a-begging and the ticket be left full
of blowho
The question Of fusion with the, rem
nant of the Populist party, with its
battered 16-to-1 battle flag, will be an
other feature of the convention, with
the probability of their being taken in
to camp.
There are possibilities Of other prop
ositions coming up that may serve to
add ginger to the conventions proceed
ings.

Jack Smith Must Answer to a
Charge of Robbery.

Jack Smith, the burly Redding miner
who on Tuesday was arrested on a
charge of rifiing Harry Williams
pockets in the Hibernia Beer Hall, on
Second street, between I and j, was ar
raigned in the City Justices Court yes
terday on a charge of grand larceny,
and waiving time, his preliminary ex-
animation was conducted, resulting in
his being held to answer before the
Superior Court, bail being fixed in the
sum of 81 900.
Williams story did not materially
differ from the account published in
yesterdays Record Union" He had
met Smith early in the day at Second
and / sterets and hours We're spent in
drinking. They finally went to the
Kerry Woman's'' place, in the rear of
which Smith went through his pockets,
taking all his money. He told Smith
to give some of the money back, and
the latter finally gave him 80 cents.
Frank Galligan testified that he was
present when Williams and Smith re-
entered the saloon from the rear, and
he heard the former say that Smith
had gone through his pockets, and also
heard him ask that some of the money
be returned to him. Smith subse-
quently led Williams to the door and
put him out on the street, and warned
the witness to keep his mouth shut, or
it would be worse for him.
Smith, on his own behalf, testified
that while he went to the rear of the
saloon with Williams, he did not rob
him. When they returned, Smith said
he was broke, and the witness paid for
drinks he had ordered. He did not
hear Williams say he had been robbed,
nor did the latter ask that some Of his
money be returned to him. He testi-
