UNITED BY AN
ADVERTISEMENT 7
Strange Case Of a Sister
and Brother.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PASADENA. Sept. 2O.-To-day brother
and sister who had never known each
other were united through the medium
of a newspaper advertisement.
Sixteen years ago Mr. and Mrs. Can
ton died in New York. They left three
chfldren-Albert J., Essie NJ. and William
Albert was u and Essie 4 and William
a babe in arms. The grandparents, who
were too old to properly care for the
orphans. took them In charge. Later AL
bert was adopted by a Mr.. Wheeler and
took his name. The girl was adopted by
a family named Chase and known as fS-
sic NJ Chase. William stayed with his
grandparents and kept his right name.
Time wore on and the children separ-
ated. Albert went to Bridgeport and Es-
sic came to Pasadena, residing with her
adopted mother, Mrs. Sarah X. Chase, on
Park street The brothers and sister
knew nothing of each other for long
time Then Albert, being told about his
little sister, of whom he had a vague rec
election had a desire to see her. he
found she had left New York and come
to the Pacific Coast Twice he travelled
across the continent to find her ana re,
turned unsuccessful. Then he advertised
in a New York newspaper. a relative
of Mrs. Chase, now living in Stratford.
Conn. read the advertisement, which
stated that Wheelers former name was
Canton, and gave all the facts he knew
about the family. The relative wrote 70
him and said that Essie was living WITH
Mrs. Chase here. Essie is quite wen
known here as Essie Chase. Albert has
been corresponding with her and they
have compared notes which prove them
10 be brother and sister. Their meeting
to-day was a strange one.

IMPORTANT STREET DECISION.
A Contractors Ignorance of the Law
Causes His Considerable Loss.

William EIDE, a street contractor
brought an action in the Superior Court
against Joseph Cuneo and other property
owners for the foreclosure of lien
against their property on a street assess
ment In tie lower court Eide received
judgment Final judgment was defeated
for the reason that the City Engineer
had never made an engineers certificate
of the work. 1t seems that the Super
intendent of Streets had filed the assess
ment diagram, warrant, and what pur-
ported to be the engineers certificate
which had never been made. NotWith-
standing that this was not duly, prop
erly or legally recorded, the contractor
went on with the assessment. The Su-
preme Court takes the position that pro-
ceedings in street assessment are purely
statutory.
When the contractor found that there
was an irregularity in the record he
should have demanded his right that the
engineers certificate should be part OF
the record. He went on and accepted
such documents as the Street Superin-
tendent delivered to him. In falling to
SO do he lost his case. The opinion, which
is of no small Importance, was written
by Justice Harrison and concurred IN by
Justices Henshaw, Temple and McFar-
land. Chief Justice Beatty and Justice
Van Dyke dissented on the broad ground
that because the Street Superintendent
failed to perform his duty the contractor
should not be made to suffer the loss OF
his labor and material.

SPORTING CLUBS HAVE
FORMED A TRUST
New York Promoters Of Pugilism
Enter Into an Agreement to
Pool TSSueS

NEW YORK, Sept 20.-The metropol-
itan clubs devoted to pugilism to-day en-
tered into hard and fast agreement,
which practically amounts to the pooling
of issues and earnings. The combine of
these clubs was formed at a meeting held
this afternoon, at which were present rep
resentatives of w. A. Brady and Martin
Julian, who control the Coney Island
Sporting Club, George f. Considine of the
Broadway, and Thomas ORourke of the
Lenox Athletic Club. Other clubs repre-
sented directly or indirectly at the meet
ing were the Westchester, Waverly, Peli-
can, National and Greenwood.
After the meeting it was announced
that all of the international battles
scheduled to take place at Coney Island
will be transferred to the Lenox Athletic
Club. The only big bout that will be de-
clded at Coney Island will be the battle
between Jeffries and Sharkey.
The pooling of these interests will make
very little difference TO the public, but
it is expected that the purses will be cut
and that guarantees will be done away
with. Fighters will have no opportunity
now CT breaking their contracts with a
club, and it is the intention to blacklist
any one guilty of this offense.

SU|SSER STILL
IN SAN JOSE
Officers Refuse to Sur
render Him.
THEY FEAR A LYNCHlNG
TAKES A CHEERFUL VIEW OF
HIS CASE.
Is Confident of Securing an Acquittal
on the Ground of Temporary
insanity Caused by In
toxication.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 20.-George Suisser,
who killed Sheriff Farley of Monterey
County in cold blood still maintains his
braggadocio manner. He laughs and chats
about the killing. and his crime appears
to be light matter to him. To-day he
said he killed Farley by mistake, but
reiterated that it was his intention TO
kill Delaney and Allen.
This forenoon Constable Allen of Sa-
lnas visited the Jail and demanded
Suisser, whom he stated he wanted TO
take back to Salinas. He presented a
warrant for Suisser, charging him with
the murder of arIey, which had been
sworn to by eX-District Attorney p. e.
Zabala. Under Sheriff Varcoe and Jailor
Rives refused to turn over the prisoner
to the Constable. Coroner Muller, who
is acting Sheriff since Farley's death,
was communicated with by telephone,
and he told the officers to hold Suisser.
He has another warrant for the murderer,
and besides he did not deem it wise to
bring him back to Salinas. Allen was
greatly disappointed.
Constable Allen went in to see Suisser
and the latter expressed his opinion of
the officer in not very elegant language.
He told Allen that he had been bounding
him for the purpose of making a few dol
lars in fees II would have killed you,
all right, if il had not been dark and
foggy When l shot all l could see was
enough to take me back to Salinas, for
| would beat the face off you. You could
never take me alive"
Suisser says he is unable to account for
the killing of Farley. He says he did
not know that that officer was looking
for him. Allen and Nesbitt he knew were
after him, and he supposed he was shoot
ing at those officers. He claims he shot
to protect himself, as the officers had no
right to go after him, as he had done
nothing.
Suisser says he will not plead guilty
and will fight for his life in the courts.
He has not engaged attorneys yet, but
expects to secure able counsel. His plea
will be temporary insanity, caused by
drink and persecution. When drinking
he says he becomes insane, and all the
people in Salinas know 1t. He intimates
the officers should have steered clear of
him while he was in this condition. He
will also attempt to prove Farley's death
was accidental. and that he merely re-
turned shots that were fired at him in
defense.
Constable Allen returned to Salinas this
afternoon.

INCREASING CROWDS AT
THE STOCKTON FAIR
Police Have Taken No Steps Toward
Suppressing the Unlawful
Gambling Games

STOCKTON, Sept. 20.-The third day of
the fair has been marked by increasing
throngs and brisk scenes throughout the
day At the pavilion tonight several
thousand people. including many school
children. attended. The wide open"
policy which the officers have been allow
ing is not to pass without protest from
conservative people.
Many unlawful games were running
last night under the noses Of the officers,
and no pretense was made at stopping
them. Pool-selling has been publicly ad-
vertised and carried on in the face of the
stringent ordinances against it, i he LEGAL
press which has heretofore remained
quiet. expecting the officers to act, to-day
makes sarcastic comments upon their in
activity. Some of the worst class of tin
horns have left town, but there are still
enough left to operate several games.

BIG SLUMP OCCURS
IN MILLING STOCK
Sensation in Wall Street Caused by
the Recent Death of Miller
PillsburY.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-Wall street
was treated to a sensation to-day by
the United States Flour and Milling
shares. On Tuesday the common stock
closed at 56. To-day 1t sold at "a. The
preferred, which closed at rs on the pre-
ceding day, dropped to 80. Their net
declines for the day were 8 to % points,
respectively. These breaks were made
on light transactions, only 100 shares
of the common and 1900 shares of the
preferred changing hands. The street
was much exercised over the declines,
although very little of either stock is
held by commission houses or by spec
ulators at large.
The cause of the slump of the Flour
and Milling was the liquidation of long
stock partially by insiders and the
withdrawal of all inside support. Off
GERS of the company stated that certain
insiders who have had buying orders
in the stocks ever since they were listed
found that the general weakness Of the
stock market was inducing liquidation
by trade interests, and that the death
of c. A. Pillsbury might also lead to
liquidation. They consequently with
drew their orders and left the stocks
to take care of themselves.
Thomas A. Mcintyre, treasurer of the
company, who is regarded in Wall
street as the most important of the di-
rectors, said:
There is no real reason for such a
decline. There is nothing that war
rants it and present prices by no means
express the value of the stocks We are
making money. Present earnings are,
however, surplus for the common stock
l do not think that insiders will long
neglect the opportunities presented by
the S1I1rp 4"

CASHIER BEATEN
WITH 4 HAMMER
Brutal Attack on an Old
Man in Palatine.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Frederick J.
Filbert. the aged cashier Of the Pala
tine Bank, in Palatine ILL.,, twentysix
miles north of Chicago, is lying close
to death as the result Of an attack
made upon him to-day by young man
who gives the name of Walter Lawton.
The latter, who is unknown to any
body in Palatine, and apparently of
good education, is in the County Jail
suffering from a bullet wound in the
abdomen, which will probably prove
fatal.
Henry Plagge, 20 years of age, a
farmer, whose Intervention at a critical
moment prevented the outright murder
of the cashier, is at his home, west OF
the village, cut and bruised and dis
abled, as a result of his struggle with
Lawton, whose motive for the assault,
according to his repeated statements,
was not robbery.
The attack upon Filbert was made
with a tack hammer, and the cashier
was struck at least a dozen times be-
fore Plagge interfered- The attack oc-
Cured at o'clock in the afternoon.
Cashier Filbert was alone IN the bank
when Lawton, whom he recognized as
a visitor of last Friday, who had
sought a loan on a supposed farm, en-
tered. Lawton called Filbert into the
outer office to consult a map which
hung on the wall, and started a quar-
rel. Filbert is small and feeble and
could offer little resistance to LaWton,
who pounded him savagely on the head
with a small tack hammer.
Repeated blows from the sharp ham
mer sent the old man to the floor. but
his cries attracted Farmer Plagge. AS
the latter entered he was met by Law
ton. who said: "Filbert is in the back
room and / guess there is something
the matter with him..
PIagge pushed open the door. and as
he stopped over the PROSTATE cashier
I,aWton struck him three times on the
back of the head with the hammer.
The old farmer turned on his knees and
grasped his assailant about the legs.
Both fell to the floor and struggled for
the possession of the hammer
Each in turn received blows with 1t
until LaWton drew his revolver. The
men fought for the weapon. and in the
scuff1e for it it was discharged, the ball
striking Lawton in the abdomen.
Plagge said he had no idea of how the
revolver was discharged.
The wound weakened LaWton so
much that, although he still fought.
Plagge had little trouble in throwing
him to the floor and holding him until
assistance arrived
The crowd which gathered rapidly
after the pistol shot separated the two
men and took the supposed robber to
the village lookup. He was too severe
ly wounded to offer any resistance. and
this fact was all that saved him from
violence at the hands of the excited
crowd that followed him to Jail.
