Too Well Known Already.

Yesterday the APPEAL editor was pass
ing Meyers store and saw a crowd of men
going in headed by George Meyers. He
was asked to join the caravan and was
taken to the rear of the store where the
crowd was introduced to a barrel of
Sonoma county ider. 1t was about the
most toothsoine cider that the writer had
fell i'll with since he left old Connecticut.
The crowd all took Il free drink and
smacked heir lips in concert.
Anything the matter with that cider?"
All it needs is TO be well advertised"
replied the editor.
Its too dwell advertised now |
guess" was the reply with a tinge Of
sadness and then the various free sam
piers of that barrel who lived in that
vicinity filed out and there was a streak
of silence that reached clear to the street.

Rosa Rafetto Acquitted.

Rosa Rafetto was discharged from GUS
tody yesterday in Colusa. The defense
made was a novel one. The plea was
that she was the legal wife of "Ducks,
Millen and was never the wife of Legare
at all. This fact was established bv
showing that the marriage to Legare was
illegal insomuch as Legare had taken ont
a license IN Douglas county, when the
law provlees that the license must he
issued in the county where the contract
ing parties reside. Hence if she was not
legally married to Legare, her subse-
quent marriage to Millen was not a big
amOuS one.
This defense was a surprise to the
prosecution, but the point could not be
overthrow and she was discharged
from custody.

Of interest to Publishers,

The APPEAL has made an arrangement
with detective Stillwell on behalf of the
Nevada Newspaper Association to keep
the press of this State posted on the ad-
vertising dead beats who swindle news
papers. Here is his report on the Col
umbia Medical Institute, which has from
time to time advertised in the Nevada
newspapers:
The Columbia Medical Institute was up
to quite recently located at 1,007 Market
Street, San Francisco, and is composed Of
one Chas. X. Holsnlan, NJ. d., and a small
boy. DR.. Holsman is the Institute when
at home and one of the travelling physi-
clans of the Columbia when abroad.
During his trips into the interior he pat
ronizes the local papers Of whatever town
he happens to visit and has the bills sent
to his home address, where they remain
unpaid. To collectors the Doctor SAYS at
first that he would lay the matter before
his brother, who he claims is the man
who contracted for the ads. but after sew
eral calls made on him he drops the
brother and admits that he has no money
and is unable to meet the bills. AS a
matter of fact, he has no brother home at
all his only brother being an architect
residing in Milwaukee,. Men who have
been intimately acquainted with DR..
Holsman for years say his reputation is
an unsavory one. a few days ago., about
the first of February, the Columbia Med
zeal Institute, that is the Doctor and his
small boy, were busy packing their be-
longings, they being in financial trouble,
as DIR. Holsman frankly stated. He did
not know then whether he would only
o to some other locality or whether
he would abolish the Institute altogether.
Any Nevada publishers who wish to
learn of the status of San Francisco adj
vertisers can do so by addressing Chas.
Stillwell, l20 Kearney Street, San Fran
cisco.

Defence of the Peck Brothers

The Phoebe Record defends the Peck
brothers process and charges that the
article In the APPEAL was part of a plot
to freeze the Peck brothers out. There is
no truth whatever in the charge, as the
APPEAL IS never engaged in driving
away capital from Nevada thai wants to
come in. The Peck brothers brought a
process here and it was a failure. The
result was that a number of Nevada peo-
pie who Invested money in it lost.
The Record says that the Peck Bros.
process is all right. If the process is all
right then the Peck brothers must be all
wrong.

WRECK OF CLARA LEAvlTT.
Capt. b. f. Lombord Receives Letter
Concerning 1t.

Captain Benjamin F. Lombord of this
city, one of the owners of the schooner
Clara Leavitt, received letter Saturday
from the captain of the life saving crew
at Gay Head informing him of the wreck
of the Leayitt near that station. The let
ter received by Captain Lombard is as
follows:
GAY Head Life Saving Station,
November rs. 1895.
Dear Sir.-It is my painful duty to in
form you that the Clara Leavitt was not
only a total loss on the morning of Nov.
9Th at Menenahea Blight, Vineyard Sound.
but that the entire crew with the exoep-
tion of one man now at this station was
also lost.
am putting forth every effort to find
the bodies, especially of James Lolnbord,
whom I understand was the master. 1t
is possib that it would be advisable for
YOU to come out although there Is nothing
of any value from the schooner that could
be saved. Any instruction from you will
be gladly complied with. The telephone
line from. this station is complete wreck,
else would have informed you by tele-
graph. N. G. HAYMAN.
Captain of the Gay Head Station.
James E. Lombord, who was the master
of the Clara Leavitt, was fifty years old
and a brother of Captain Benjamin 3.
Lombord of this city. He lived in Well
feet, Mass, where two daughters, the
Oldest about twenty years, and widow
survive him. He was a skilful seaman
we'll known in Portland. He had been
following the sea as master and mate for
many years. Captain Benjamin Il. Lom-
bord, who has been going to sea over fifty
years, owned one-fourth of the schooner.
She was valued at $1,000 and Captain
Lombord's share in her was not insured.
The Clara Leavitt was built by the father
of Mayor Randall and the latter owned
quite large share in tbe vessel, which
was insured. 1t is possible that the sur
viyor of the wrecked schooner may be sent
to Portland.
Captain Lombard said that only three
of the six men originally shipped in Port
land were on the Leayitt at the time Of
her w1eck. There were seven men on her
altogether snd the other four men were
shipped in New York. The Leayitt was
bound from Perth Amboy to Portland
with cargo of clay for Winslow & Co.
