TWO CLAIMANTS TO
 KL0NDiKE NUGGETS,
CHARLES ROGUE LOST A SACK
 ON THE STEAMER.
He Accuses Mrs. Zorn, Lady Pas senger, of Finding the Stuff and
 Holding It Out"

It is possible that the courts may have to decide the ownership of some gold dust and nuggets brought from the Klondike valued at $3S9 Mrs. Zorn arrived In the city few days ago with her three chiI- dren from Dawson City. She left her hus- band there and is on her way to Los An geles to visit friends. Charles Hogue, at present stopping at the Golden West Ho- tel. was passenger on the same steamer from Dawson City.
 Hogue had been working a mine with some others and sold his share, receiving $3S9 in gold dust and nuggets, which he brought with him in a sack. He lost the sack on the steamer and for some unex- plained reason suspected Mrs. Zorn of having found 1t.
 Mrs. Zorn yesterday took some gold dust and nuggets to the mint to get it ex- changed for coin, and Hogue, who was also there, asserted that he recognized one of the nuggets as his property which Mrs Zorn indignantly denied.
 Policeman Menihan was summoned and Mrs. Zorn and her children were taken to police headquarters, accompanied by Hogue The lady declared that the gold dust and nuggets were given her by her husband before leaving Dawson City and nuggets was in the sack which he lost Detective Dillon, who took charge of the case, advised Hogue to swear to com plaint for Mrs. Zorn's arrest, but he de- clined to go so far Mrs. Zorn was all lowed to go, but If Hogue should change his mind this morning she, she says, can easily be found.

has not missed doing for the past thirty years. In this act there was a little Incident of more than passing note. Jim Silvey the clerk who registered Mir. Corbett had performed a similar service for the father of John l.. Sul- livan, the pugilist many years ago. On that occasion the elder Sullivans name was the last to be placed on the register and In this instance the name of the father of the man who van quished the then champion was the last to go upon the register of Precinct of the Thirty seventh District.
 Silvey and Corbett spent some time discussing the merits of the two fa- nous pugilists and the probable result of the coming contest of Jim with Kid Mccoy. The old man had apparently no doubt as to the ability of his boy Jim to whip any man in the ring, in- cluding Fitzsimmons. At the conclu- sion of the conversation Corbett re- turned to his stable and after the de- parture of pr. O'Connell he remarked to one of his employees that he had just registered and that it was the last time he would ever register. Even then in his demented condition he must have contemplated some violent act This unhappy streak of insanity seems to have come to him through his fam fly, for one of his sisters, Margaret Griffin, is now in the asylum at Napa, where she has been for several years.

home and they arrived on Sunday evening. On Monday he appeared to be much improved while around the house, but his friends noticed that he acted strangely at times.
 During Monday afternoon, while standing in a cigar store, he was asked how he felt. to which he answered that "1 never felt better in my life and still am badly troubled with sickness Late in the evening Dr. Robert J. O'Connell of 731 Hayes street called into the stable in friendly way, and before he left the old man offered to give him all of the money in the safe and in his pockets, although there was no Obliga- tion existing saying he had no use for it. A few minutes later Mir. COrbett went upstairs, where his manner changed at once, and he appeared as rational as ever. For a time he sat and read the papers and then went to bed, accompanied by his wife Charles A. King and his wife occupied the old couples bedroom, the latter for the time being occupying a room in the rear of the dining-room. little after 4 o'clock in the morning Mrs. Corbett entered the apartments of the younger couple. for she heard her grandson, the four-months-old King, crying, and finding nothing very serious she went back to bed and all went to sleep again. Less than an hour later the tragedy was enacted.

Later he was part owner in an under taking business and afterward went into the livery stable business in Hayes valley, where he bought property and made his home. Several years ago he met with some reverSes, but when his son Jim came into fame as a pugilist and made some money he helped the old man out of his difficulties and since then the elder Corbett has been doing a prosperous business. The family as- serts that nothing in the shape of busi- ness could have worried him as he had more than recovered from the losses of former years.
 Mrs Corbett was always recognized as the soul of human sympathy and good humor. She was particularly ac- tive in church work and not a fair was held but found Mrs. COrbett among the first to give literally of her time and money.

 Within the past week or ten days many things have happened to con- vince the friends and family that MT. Corbett was not in his right mind at times. A month ago Mrs. Corbett and her daughter, Esther, went to Bartlett Springs, as has been the custom of the family for years. Two weeks ago Esther returned and Kate took her out ing. Last Wednesday MT. Corbett joined his relatives at the springs and he had not been there more than day before 1t was apparent that his mind was not as it should be- As an in- stance, he became intensely jealous of his wife, who had passed her sixty second year and whose weight had about reached the 300-p pound mark. To more than one he accused the fine old lady of "winking at other men" and when these thoughts were uppermost in his mind he would wander away for hours and refuse to have anything to do with any of his family. His condi- tion became so bad that Mrs Corbett decided to take him back to their
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-17

ods when her intellect became over clouded and she was seized with the desire to do violent acts.
 Those best acquainted with the Cor betts say that a more affectionate fam fly would be hard to find. The sons consist of Harry, Frank, James, Joseph and John, and the daughters of Esther, Theresa, Mamie nd Kate. Esther and Kate are still single. It is generally conceded that the mothers favorite was Jim and even his entrance into the prize ring did not make any difference In the matter of her love for him, nor or his love for her. Whenever he would come home from any of his trips abroad he took particular delight in having his mother give a reception to her friends. On those occasions he would have her sing some of the sim pie Irish ballads so dear t. those who come from the old country. It has long been the wish of the parents to have Jim retire from the ring and he prom lsed to do so. The aged lady was look ing forward to the time when her son would enter into some mercantile pur- suit. for which his education had fitted him.
 P. J. Corbett was born in County Mayo, Ireland, siXty-siX years ago, and he came to this country when a young man. He first went to the Southern States, but not finding such an oppor- tunity as he wanted he and his wife came to California Many years agu he followed the milk business and had a ranch near Twin Peaks, but he gave this up and in time drove a hack.

A Terrible Tragedy Ends Two Happy
 Lives.
JEALOUSY WAS THE CAUSE
JIM, THE PUGnIsT, TAINTED WHEN TOLD THE NEWS.
The Old Pioneer Used Revolver
 With Shocking and Fatal Effect in His Hayes |. Valley Home.

Jealousy, produced by the hallucina- 4ions of a disordered mind, caused Pat rick J. Corbett, the Hayes Valley livery stable keeper and father of Jim Cor bett, the prizefighter, to send two re- volver bullets into the brain of his wife, Catherine, and then turn the weapon upon himself Death came instantly and mercifully to the two old people half century.
 The double tragedy occurred @ few minutes before o'clock yesterday morning at their home. at SIS Hayes street IL was a terrible shock to large family of sons and daughters, now grown to man and woman hood, and during the day dozens of friends called to express their sympathies for those afflicted.
 Harry Corbett, one of the sons, at once sent word by wire to his brother, James Corbett, who is now in New York. preparing for his coming contest with Kid Mccoy. It has since been learned that the son in the East tainted when he heard of the shocking tragedy in his Western home, and for an hour the wires were kept busy answering questions about how it all happened.
 As stated, the man was out of his mind when he committed the act. He arose early. as he was accustomed to, and after dressing, all but putting on his coat, he placed the muZzle of re- volver to the temple of his sleeping wife and pulled the trigger and a bull let was sent into her brain. A second shot was fired into her face below the right eye and this also found Judgment in the brain. Once more the savage weapon parked and he, too, fell dead, across the body of his wife, who had not even moved in her bed. Four chambers of the revolver were found to be empty. When the fourth shot was fired TO one seems to know, for only three muffled reports were heard by the relatives in the house. Charles A King, a son-in-law, rushed into the room and, seeing what had happened, placed the old man on the floor and went for a doctor, while Kate Corbett daughter. ran for the priest. When the man of God and the man of medi- cine arrive it was too late, for life in both victims of the tragedy had fled Death came so suddenly to the old lady that she simply passed from one sleep to another, and of him who did it it is safe to say that his mind never cleared nor that he comprehended what his

where father got that pistol" said Frank Corbett. He always had hor- TOT of firearms of all kinds and never to my knowledge has he owned or had such a weapon around the house. This is a brand new revolver and he must have purchased it yesterday. While l knew that he was acting little queer I had no idea that he would ever get so serious as to do such a thing. In fact we all thought that the trip to the springs would do him good, but I fear that the heat there was too much for his head and brought on a condition that completely upset his mind"
 That the thought of self-destruction was in old man Corbetts mind is ap- parent from the fact that on Monday he attempted to purchase some arsenic in a neighboring drugstore, but the clerk refused to sell him any, because his reasons for asking for the poison were not sufficient. He said that he wished to kill some rats and that the ordinary rat poison was of no account When evening approached Mir.
