"WHITE HAT" MCARTY
STARVES DUMB BEASTS
THE HoRSEMAN WILL BE AR
RESTED TO-DAY.
Fourteen Horses That Had Been Re
duced to Shadows Taken
to the Pound.

white Hat" McCartys propensity for
starving dumb animals and leaving them
unsheltered to the mercies of the weather
have got him into trouble again.
Yesterday fourteen of his horses,
starved to the bone, were taken to the
public pound shortly after they had fin
ished their dinner on fence posts, boards,
etc, in corral at Seventh avenue and
B street. The officers of the Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, at
whose instance the poor brutes were re-
Iieved from their pitiful condition, are
determined that McCarty shall suffer for
his treatment and announce that he will
swear out a warrant for his arrest this
morning.
For some time past patrons of the
Geary and Sacramento street car lines
have noticed the starving horses grovel-
ing in the sand hill and have commented
upon their poor appearance. None Of
these people seemed willing, however,
TO make a complaint, and it remained
for Officer J. j. Bagley, whose beat eX-
tends in the vicinity, to notify the Cen
trail police station yesterday. Officer w.
T. Hooper of the Society for Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals visited the prem
ises during the afternoon. When he ar
rived he found the beasts gnawing on
fence boards, most of which they had al
most reduced to Stats. The boards had
been broken down in some places where
the horses had made efforts to reach
little patches OF grass tndI grew along
the sidewalk The entire side of a barn
had been gnawed so badly as to be notice.
able for blocks. On the premises was not
a handful of feed.
The stables and corral are the property
of Warren & Malley, who employ E.
Freyer as hostler. Freyer says the horses
were sent there about six months ago
and have occupied the stalls until three
weeks ago, when they were turned into
the corral at the request of their owner.
Since that time they have remained in
the open every night without even shed
for shelter.
simultaneously with the arrival of the
pound men a boy drove up with single
bale of hay, which he said had been sent
from McCartyS stables on Tehama street.
1t was intended to feed the fourteen an
imals and weighed about $50 pounds. The
boy stated that a bale had been sent out
daily, but he could only account for those
which he brought out at various times.
Freyer SuStainS him in this statement,
but the condition of the animals would
indicae that one bale arrived weekly.
McCarty's name has been on the rec
ords of the society before. Complaints
since he possessed animals, and on sew
eral occasions the officers were obliged
to force him to take better care of his
stock The horses which were taken yes

says that he had no instructions to care
for the horses and took no pains to do

monotony of their action by an occa-
sionaI visit to San Francisco. Confer
ences have been held behind closed doors
in the rear of Tom Frosts and "Billy"
MacMillan's saloon. To-day the secret
came out. The gamblers are trying to
have the Ingleside track moved to Marin
County.
Early in the day the rumor of this de-
sire on the part of the gambling frater
nifty had reached San Rafael and was al
most the sole topic of discussion. Moth
ing definite can be learned, for those
who are in a position to know maintain
the utmost reticence.
There is only one suitable location for a
track in the county, and that is in the
neighborhood of San Clemente. Two
years ago a man named McCue built a
half-mile track, but it soon closed down.
Later Dan Burns came near buying the
Lucas property as a breeding farm, the
track being included in the land bar
gained for, but for some unknown rea-
son the deal fell through. 1t is stated
that by filling a part of the marsh this
half-mile track could easily be length
ened to a mile course.

the court at length on the law.
AS a matter of fact and law the de-
PENDANTS are not legally held, because of
the delay on the part of the police, and
the defense took an exception to the
courts denial of the motion to dismiss.
The Judge hesitated slightly before
holding the defendants, and ruled against
dismissal simply to save lot of trouble
for every one concerned.
During the afternoon Prosecuting At
torney Joachimsen drew up separate COM
plants against the twenty prisoners and
these were signed and sworn to by the
arresting officers. They will be presented
in court at 10 o'clock this morning. The

THEY WANT BIG MONEY.
Green and Smith Ready to Sign With
the Club Offering the
Largest Purse.

George Green and Billy Smith had a
meeting yesterday and split the differ
ence so far as the weighing-in hour is
concerned.
Green said that he could not make 154
pounds at noon of the day of the pro-
posed fight Smith asked him If he would
consent to weigh in at p. m, and Green,
after some hesitation, agreed to do so,
and the matter of a fight was therefore
clinched without reference to the club
Green wanted the National and Smith
had a preference for the Excelsior.
The pugilists finally agreed to fight
in the club that offers the best induce
nents." and thus the matter stands. The
clubs, however, have wisely decided not
to compete over any fstic card, as there
are too many good attractions on the
road at the present time looking for en-
gagementS.

TOM WILLIAMS IS WINNER.
Successful in His Civil Action
Against M. Marx.

The Supreme Court has given a deci-
sion in favor of Thomas H. Williams. the
horseman, in his case against M. Marx.
About year ago Williams sold to Marx
a piece of real estate on Grand Island in
the Sacramento River. He received a de-
posit of $1,000, a written agreement being
signed by the two parties that if in
case the title to the property was good
the balance should be paid, but if the
title should be defective the money was
to be returned to Marx. The latter re-
fused to pay the remainder and demanded
the return of the deposit on the ground
that the title was not perfect.
His contention was that Williams re-
ceived the land upon an order of distri-
button of court in the case of the estate
of the late Thomas II. Williams Sr.,
father of the party in this suit. and was
unable to give perfect title to land thus
received. Williams brought the action to
compel Marx to live up to his part of
the written agreement, and he won his
suit in the lower court. The higher court
agrees with the lower court, holding that
the title of Williams is good and that he
can give a good title to purchaser.

CHIVALRY AT CHAPULTEPEC
The True Heroism of IA Young Missi.-
sippi Soldier In That His
tortc Battle.

The war with Mexico Is part Of our
martial history. Taylor and Scott and
Davis and Lee came out of it immortal.
The epic of that great struggle was
the storming Of Chapultepec. That
browning fortress was the Gibraltar
Of Mexico. Its massive walls seemed
imprcgnable. But American DARING
halted AT no obstacles, and an intrep
hand of volunteers was chosen to scale
and assault it.
Among the first of the dauntless few
who braved their way through shot
and she'll to the fortress on that dread
full day was young Mississippian,
handsome as Alcibiades, proud, conf
dent and thrilling with patriotic fer
Nor. He was among the first, if not the
first, to scale the wall, and, sword in
hand, dashed along that storm-swept
rampant in advance of all his fellows
to cut down the waving flag OF the
enemy and reap the Immortality of the
decd. He was the first to reach the
flag; his sword was raised, when he
heard swift footsteps behind him. He
paused, turned, and saw his command
ing officer, to whom he was tenderty
attached and deeply obligated.
And then this gallant Mississippisn,
without moments hesitation, with
the bow OF n Chesterfield. lowered his
sword, and with the point at rest
stood aside while his friend and com
handing officer cut down the flag OF
Mexico and was bulletined for the
laurels of that splendid day.
In the history of battles there wai
never more gallant. more chiva!-ir
deed than that. And the real hero OF
Chapultepcc, manned and gray, bat
glorious still, sits just before me here
tonight in the person of my noble
and beloved friend, Gen. William g
Walker, of Atlnnta.-FrOm an AddreM
