FOLLY OF THREATENING
A. Burgle Will Have to Serve Out q
Long Sentence.

When Anthony Burgle went cunning for
Sigmund L. Braveman he got more than
he bargained for. Braveman filled him
full of lead, and now the Supreme Court
says that the judgment and order of the
Superior Court, under which he was SEN
fenced to serve seven years in the State
prison. is not to be disturbed.
The two had considerable business
trouble, and one day some time ago
Braveman attached a grocery store be-
longing to Burgle. Burgle was so angry
and SO foolish as to state In the presence
Of a number of people that he would get
his pistol and kill Braveman. The threat
reached the ears of the intended victim.
Burgle put in an appearance with his
weapon and Braveman opened up with
his own battery. When the engagement
was over Burgle was sent to the hospital
for the surgeons to- operate upon. They
were kept busy for several hours explor-
ing half a dozen bullet holes in various
parts of the mans body: However, Bur-
gle soon recovered. and in the trial he
was proved to be the aggressor and seven
wears was the sentence. He appealed to
the Supreme Court, setting up the plea
Of errors on the part OF the Judge of the
lower court in his instructions to the jury.
The higher court found no error and Bur
gle will have to go to prison.

HAY DEALERS
ANGRY At THE
S, P. COMP ANY
Cannot Obtain Decent
Accommodations.
FREIGHT YARDS A MIRE HOLE
BUSINESS CONDUCTED UNDER
GREAT DIFFICULTIES.
Eastern Railroads Provide Dry, Com
modious Sheds, but Uncle Coils
Affords Nothing but High
Rates and Mud.

The hay dealers of San Francisco are
thoroughly disguised with the manner in
which they are treated by the Southern
Pacific Company. The hay men do an i'm
mense business with the corporation, and
notwithstanding this fact they can get no
accommodations whatever to facilitate
the handling of their bulky commodity.
In speaking of the matter yesterday one
of the dealers said in the interest of him
self and fellows:
THE cold-blooded manner Of treatment
accorded us by the Southern Pacific is
something to be marveled at Their
freight yards around Townsend and Sixth
and Seventh streets are honored with the
nome of hay market, but they are moth
Ing more or less than mire hole. Be-
tween the tracks the mud is from six
inches to a foot deep, and for this reason
and the fact that when 1t is raining hard
1t is impossible to do business, we have
urged the railroad company to do some
thing to improve the facilities for doing
business with the hay men.
What we want the company to do is to
scrape out that muck between the tracks
and fill 1t in with proper substance so
that we can get In and out with our teams
in all kinds of weather. This they, refuse
to do on the ground that the place is
to be able to renew the lease after a
couple of years. Down at Third and
berry streets there is large, dry SneQ,
and we are enabled to do business with
expedition. However, the hay that comes
into the city by the schooners at that
point does not amount TO much. The great
bulk comes over the Southern Pacific
lines, and that is why we feel that we are
entitled to decent accommodations:
in all the large Eastern cities the rail-
road companies provide commodious
sheds, where the unloading Of hay can be
done in all kinds of weather. and such
places become regular hay, markets; where
business can be conducted PROMPTLY. For
these reasons we think that we are being
Ill treated and that it is the duty of the
company to accord us the facilities we
require. Whether or not we will succeed
in securing justice at the hands of the
corporation remains to be seem
In this connection a matter that is seri-
ously troubling the hay men is as to
where the company will be able to lay
down the hay when the tracks in the
yards mentioned are no longer available.

WINNERS OF ALL-AGE STAKES
CHAMPION EVENT WILL END
FIELD TRIALS TO-DAY.
At the Annual Meeting Of the Pacific
Coast Club It Is Decided to
Hold the Next Meet in
January, 1900.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 19.-The six
teenth annual meeting of the Pacific
Coast Field Trials Club was held at
the Southern Hotel last night, The
following officers were elected for the
coming year: President, w. E. Stevens;
first vice president, c. n. Post, Sacra-
mento; second vice president, H. W
Keller, Los Angeles; secretary and
treasurer, ]. F. de Ruyter, San Fran
cisco. Executive committee. E.
Terry, J. NJ Kilgariff, w. Brooks Jones,
Frank Maskey.
The date of the next trials was set
for January %, 1900. The same stakes
and conditions will govern. At the
close of the meeting the following dogs
were entered for the champion stakes:
]. z. Lucas Alex c, Stockdale Kennels
Sans Bow, Cuba Of Kenwood.
The second series of the all-age
stakes was run to-day. Cuba of Ken
wood with Alex c ran first. The other
brace was Sans Bow with Senator P.
A large number of birds were found
near Mr.. Trevis' house at Stockdale
and were driven out into the field
nearby, where the cover consisted of
short alfalfa. The dogs were worked
there and made a beautiful picture for
the spectators. The dogs could be
plainly seen ranging over the ground,
striking points and backs. In the work
of the first brace, Alex c and Cuba,
both dogs first, ranged well. Cuba
was first to find the birds in a cab
bage patch near the house. After a
few points here the dogs were moved
into the alfalfa fields, where several
hunts were made Cuba showing a bet
ter nose and doing the work in a more
finished, positive manner. The time
down was 80 minutes.
In the meantime another covey Of
birds was driven into near the race
track by Mr.. Tevis' employees. The
second brace of dogs worked there on
low cover, the birds lying we'll. Senator
was first to find the birds among the
long grass in the lane, but, unfortunate
ly made a few bad flushes before he
settled down to his work. After a few
points by each dog they were cast into
the field, where the spectators had an
other exhibition of fine work in open
ground. After going into the field Sen
ator became more steady, making more
points than Sans Bow. He showed
fully as much speed, ranging as wide,
hut Sam outclassed him in the manner
OF his work, showing more steadiness,
which is the result of greater age.
At the close of this heat the judges
rendered their decision, awarding first
TO Sans Bow, second to Senator P,
third TO Cuba of Kenwood. The de-
cision seemed to be surprise to many
spectators, whose opinions had been
based only on the latter part OF the last
heat, failing to take into consideration

a wrestling match and foil contest, by To-

fine horsemanship and on his wide expe-
rience in mounted sword contests, to
which Tronchet though a good horseman,
is comparatively unaccuStQmed.

with the hangman's moose dangling
threateningly over his head, and de-
nounced them all from the Sher1n down
in vigorous language.
They are all a pack Of liars" she
declared while waiting for the bus
which was to convey her to the depot
this afternoon. They have no II
dence against my husband, and they
cannot show that he had anything to
do with the killing of Dan Wilson"
She is especially indignant at the
methods employed by the amateur de-
tective, Stranahan, to secure evidence
against Miller and his alleged accom-
plices. She declared that he had lied
willfully and maliciously in order to
make a case against her relatives and
secure the reward offered for the ap-
prehension and conviction of the muir
derers of the old rancher. She was
very anxious to know if Stranahan
would testify at the preliminary eX-
animation, and when Informed that he
would probably be present she seemed
much put out. Mrs. Miller returned to
Port Costa on the 1920 train.
Mrs. Wilson was taken from her cell
in the insane ward of the jail to the
office of Attorney George Lamont this
morning for the purpose of holding a
consultation with the lawyer who has
been engaged by her mother to look
after their interests. She was escorted
across the road by Deputy Sheriff
Reeves and seemed to feel greatly re-
vived by the warm sunshine. She is
very weak, however, and the effects of
her enforced confinement have told
severely on her, more so than in the
case of either of the other prisoners.
While returning to the Jail she nearly
collapsed and but e. the supporting
arm of the Deputy Sheriff would have
fallen to the ground. She says but
little and appears to be slowly giving
way to the terrible strain on her
nerves. Mrs. Dickinson was in a very
excited state all day, but no attention
was paid TO her.
The authorities still have hope that
one of the trio will break down and
confess before the hearing is held next
Tuesday. There is a possibility that
the preliminary examination may be
postponed on account of the serious ILL
ness of Sheriff Savage. Under Sheriff
Robinson received a note by mail from
the Sheriff this morning in which the
former stated that he was improving
slowly and would try to be on hand for
the hearing. This afternoon a tele-
lejo, the Sheriff's home, to the effect
that Mr.. Savage was very low. Under
Sheriff Robinson became alarmed at
the seeming contradictions in regard to
the condition of his superior and went
to Vallejo tonight to investigate the
matter. District Attorney Devlin did
not come to Fairfield to-day being de-
tanned in Vallejo by private business.

MILLER BREAKS
DOWN IND WEEPS
FOR SOME TIME
The Alleged Slayer Of RoDcber
WILSON UDDerved by q Visit
rom His Wife.

SUISUN, Jam 19.-fTor the first time
since his arrest, charged with the muir
der of old Dan Wilson, w. J. Miller
broke down this morning and wept like
a child. The collapse Of the alleged as
sassin occurred as he was being taken
back to his cell after an interview with
his wife. Mrs. Miller came up from
Port Costa on the morning train and
went Immediately to the Courthouse in
Fairfield. The interview between hus-
band and wife took place in the Sher-
iff's office in the presence of Under
Sheriff Robinson and Deputy Sheriff
Reeves. They were not allowed to dis
cuss the Wilson case, the conversation
being confined to strictly family af-
fairs. When Miller was being taken
back to his cell at the conclusion of the
interview Mrs. Miller walked by his
side. AS he babe her good-by at the
entrance to the Jail he sought to re-
assure her, telling her not to worry as
everything would be all right and he
would soon be free. The poor woman
could not reply, and the moment Mil
Ter was in his cell he threw himself on
his cot and burst into tears. He was
left alone in his grief and continued to
SOD ana weep LOT nearly nail an nOuT,
but when the jailer looked in upon him
about an hour afterward he had recov-
cred his composure and in a measure
the confident air which he has main
tanned since his arrest, but he was
more subdued and less inclined to talk
than heretofore.
Mrs. Dickinson caught a glimpse Of
her son and Mrs. Miller through the
barred window of her cell as they were
. returning from the Courthouse, and
the sight completely unnerved her. AS
Miller disappeared within the building
she gave way to a fit of weeping and
lamentations. She blamed herself for
the present misfortune of her son, and
tearfully implored Mrs. Miller to for
give her 1T was a sorry day for me
when [ brought you and Bill (Miller)
I'D from Los Angeles" she walled, and
I would thank God if had never
done it."
Mrs. NIiller's visit to the Sheriff's
office was mainly for the purpose of
obtaining a new order from her hus-
band for his wages due from the rail-
road company. Miller gave her an or
der for the money when she was here
last week, but it was written in pen
ell. and the railroad officials refused 10
honor ii, insisting that it be made out
and signed in ink and duly witnessed
Mrs. Miller is naturally much incensed
at those who have been instrumental
in placing her husband behind the bars

BULLARD AND MARTIN
IN COMPLETE CONTROL
Captain Nevills' Partners Gust Him
From Possession of the Raw
hide and APP Mines.

Trustworthy information was received
from Sonora last night to the effect that
Captain Nevills had been completely dis
possessed of the famous Rawhide and
App mines in Tuolumne County and that
his partners, John Ballard and W. H.
Martin, have succeeded in gaining abso-
lutte control of the properties.
Ballard and Martin started for San
Francisco yesterday morning after plac-
ing Sydney Sproul in charge of the mines.
Sproul will undertake to prevent Captain
Nevills from regaining possession. Super
intendent Smith, at the App mine, re-
fused to surrender possession to Ballard
and Martin, who were obliged to take a
of that property. Nevills is expected 10
arrive in Sonora any day and his advent
on the scene is expected to result in some
decidedly interesting developments
