NEVlLLS COMPLICATES
II. .:@' RAWHIDE LITIGATION
FILES. A NEW. SUIT AGAINST
MARTIN AND BALLARD.
Garret McEnerney Appears as Coun-
sci for the App Consolidated
Gold Mining Company.

Litigants are cropping up and compll-
cations are assuming a more serious con-
dition in the battle now on for the posses
sion of the celebrated App and Rawhide
mines. Yesterday the motion on behalf
Of Martin and Ballard, Captain Nevills
mining partners, to fix the amount of
bond on appeal from the order appoint
thg. Myer Jacobs receiver of the big mines
was heard and denied by Judge Hebbard.
A:petition was then presented by Garret
.NfcEnerney, on behalf of the App Con-
sQlidated Gold Mining Company, in which
the court was requested to revoke the
order appointing the receiver.
q. In Nevills' original complaint he stated
that the App Consolidated Gold Mining
Company was represented by himself and
two partners. each holding one-third of
the stock-in fact, intimating that the
company was simply dummy corpora
ton, representing the copartnership.
This is denied in the petition presented
by Attorney McEnerney, and it is stated
by various mining men. This puts a new
status to The case, and Monday morning
the proofs substantiating the various as
sertiOns of the petition will be presented
and the motion to revoke the order ap-
"pointing the receiver will be argued.
Late yesterday afternoon another suit
was filed by Nevills and his wife, involv-
ing 1856 2-3 shares of the mining COM
-pany. In the complaint the court is
stock, which represents the interests of
Martin and Ballard, is simply held in
trQst.by them for the benefit of the plain
tiffs.

HIEIER PLACED ON TRIAL.
Ran Over and Instantly Killed Eliz
abeth A. Finley Last August.

John j. Hieier, the brewery wagon
driver, who on August 29 last ran over
and instantly killed Elizabeth A. Finley
at the corner of Bush and Larkin streets,
was placed on trial before Judge Cook
and jury yesterday morning on charge
of manslaughter.
A score of witnesses were on hand to
give testimony. H. c.. Vanmarle testified
that he saw Mrs. Finley start to cross the
street, and then, to his horror, saw her
knocked down by the horses and crushed
beneath the wheels. She was wheeling a
baby in a little buggy, and the child was
thrown to the street, though not seriously
injured, and the little buggy was torn TO
pieces. Joseph Corbett also witnessed the
accident. The prisoner simply looked
around, the witness said, after he drove
over the unfortunate woman, and then
hurried on. The witness jumped into his
buggy and followed the driver of the
brewery wagon, and caught him on Pine
street near Polk. Corbett informed Hieier
that he had killed woman, but said
the witness, "he did not seem to appre-
ciate what L was saying; he seemed stupe-
fed" Corbett took a piece of the baby
buggy from the brake block of the brew
cry wagon, where 1t had lodged, and took
ii back to the scene of the accident. Cor
bett then informed a police officer, and
Hieier was placed under arrest. Other
witnesses corroborated the story given
by Vanmarle and Corbett, and the case
went over until to-day.

seen not less than half century of
life. She could not be induced to
answer the door bell tonight to tell
what she might know in the latest
sensation in Peralta Heights society.
She lives in a cottage on Lester avenue,
about couple of blocks from the beau
tiful Nicholl residence.
John Nicholl could not be seen at his
home tonight, and one of his daugh-
ters, who said that she was authorized
to speak for her father, was very re-
ticent. She denied the fact of the en-
gagement, however.
1T is simply a fake" she said. land
we don't care to talk about it. My
father read the announcement of the
engagement and has nothing to say.
So far as his transferring certain prop
erty to an Incorporation is concerned.
he has been doing that for the past
two years.
She frankly stated that she was ac-
quainted with Miss Hodge, but refused
to give her address. When asked as
to whether Mr.. Nicholl denied the pub
lished announcement, Miss Nicholl de-
clined to answer, and ended the inter
view.
Mrs. Lou Wilson. another daughter of
John Nicholl, residing at 1872 Fifth
avenue, was also questioned and she
emphatically denied the statement.
There is absolutely nothing in it,
she said, because my father told me
so.''
She stated also that Miss Jane Hodge
was niece of Mr.. Nicholl and that she
did not know where the lady lived, only
that it was on Lester avenue. She
could not see what object any one could
have in publishing the engagement
when there was no truth in it and as to
a report of Miss Hodges intention to
sue on a breach of promise she could
not see what grounds there were for
such action.
No member of the family will give
any explanation of the announcement
of the engagement, except to deny that
there ever was any such intention to
marry on the part of Mr.. Nicholl, and
all refused to discuss the part taken in
the affair by Miss Jane Hodge. except
to admit that she is niece of the capi-
talist.

CHINESE ROBBERS.
Four Highbinders Loot the Safe of a
Ross Alley Gambling Den.

A bold robbery by Chinese highbinders
took place early yesterday morning in the
Chinese gambling house of XII Fook, 81
Ross alley, off Jackson street.
At a quarter to o'clock four highbind-
ers, without the slightest attempt to dis
guise themselves or to conceal their fea-
lures, entered the premises through the
front door, which they had opened with a
skeleton key.
In the gambling room are two hunks,
one close to the floor and the other close
to the ceiling. a Chinese attendant of the
club was asleep in each. One of the rob-
bers climbed the ladder leading to the
upper bunk, thrust the muzzle of a Colt S
navy revolver in the face of the aston
ished occupant and threatened to blow
out his brains if he dared to move or
make an outcry. The other robbers poked
their pistols into the face of the man in
the lower bunk and demanded the key
of the safe under penalty of death should
he refuse.
He surrendered the keys and the rob-
bers opened the safe and appropriated
it's contents, amounting to 1897. Then they
went out into the alley and disappeared.
The gambling house is incorporated un-
der the laws of this State as the Occiden-
tai Union Club.

MRS. REGAIN KEPT
CHASING KENNEDY
WITNESSES TESTIFY TO HER
WATCHING FOR HIM.
Defendant Was So Affected by the
Strain That She Was Led From
the Courtroom in Tears.

The preliminary examination of Mrs.
Elizabeth Regan, charged with the murder
OF Policeman Thomas H. Kennedy, was
continued before Judge Graham yester-
day. A large number of witnesses were
examined, but nothing of a sensational
nature was brought out
Most of the witnesses were put on the
stand by Attorney Barrett for the prose
cution to disprove Mrs. Johnston's state
ment at the Coroners inquest that her
sister wanted to get rid of Kennedy, but
he was constantly pestering her. 1t was
shown by several witnesses that Mrs.
Regan was always running after Kennedy
and watched for him at places where, he
used to call or pass. Some of these wit
nesses were Park Policemen Arellanes
and Norton, ex-Policeman Wilkinson
Mrs. E. NJ. Rogers, Detective Cody, Will
liam Spaight, William Nicholson, Mar
garet Kennedy and George NJ Cesar.
Mrs. Victoria Wagner was again re-
called and denied emphatically that she
had ever told any one of a conversation
she had with Mrs. Regan, when Mrs.
Regan told her she was going to marry
Kennedy and had torn photograph of
Gertrude Sohrman, Kennedys fancee,
into pieces.
Miss Sohrman resumed her testimony
and said that she was to have been mar
ried to Kennedy before May l this year.
The Sunday before he was killed he had
urged her to marry him the next day as
he was afraid of Mrs. Regan. The last
time she saw him alive was the night be-
fore his death. For six months Mrs.
Regan was asked by Kennedy at the re-
quest of witness to give up all thought
of him. Sometimes she would agree and
at other times she would declare she
would have his hearts blood If he married
any other woman. Witness kept Ken
nedy's money and at the time he joined
the force she had 1885 and she gave him
500 to buy his uniform. This contradicted
Mrs. Regans statement that she helped
to buy Kennedy's uniform.
When the court adjourned Mrs. Regan
was in tears and she continued to weep
all the way to the City Prison. The eX-
animation will be resumed Tuesday morn
ing.

VERY COSTLY HUNTING.
w. N. Concannon Arrested for Shoot
ing Pheasants in Fresno
County

w. n. Concannon, the contractor, was
down in Fresno County a short time ago
and while there indulged in little hunt
ing that is likely to prove very expensive.
He had a contract to build bridge, ard
when the work was nearly done he went
out for game with his shotgun. BY some
Ill luck Concannon ran across a beauti-
full Mongolian pheasant, one of a lot that
the State Fish Commissioners had been
at great expense to have brought from
China for propagating purposes.
A number of these game birds had been
liberated near Sanger by the Fresno
Sportsmen's Club, and all over the coun-
that it is against the law to kill or molest
this kind of protected game. The tempta-
ton was too great and Concannon shot at
the bird, cutting out a lot of feathers,
but he failed to secure the fowl This
was bad enough, but not satisfied to let
we'll enough alone he boasted of what he
had done in the presence of a number of
sportsmen interested in the preservation
of the new game birds.
In a very short time A. n. Ferguson
Game Warden of Fresno County, was in
full possession of the facts and he sWore
out a warrant for the arrest of the Offend
er before Justice G. p Walker of Sanger
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff ]. S. Irvine of
Fresno County called at Concannons of
flee in the Crocker building and when the
contractor came placed him under ar
rest The would-be pheasant shooter was
obliged to hustle. around for 500 bail for
his appearance in the Justice Court of
Sanger Later in the afternoon he called
at the office of the Fish and Game Com
mission to see If the matter could be fixed
llp without his being obliged to go to
Fresno, but he received a very chilly re-
ception by the men who have expended
so much money to get the. pheasants
from China. The Fresno officer states
that the people in his county are very in

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 27.-The an
nouncement that there was a genuine
case of smallpox at the County Hospital
produced considerable of a sensation
here to-day. The name of the patient
is Albert Honedin. He came from Oak
land few days ago and was i'll. Hav-
ing no means he was sent to the hos
pital for treatment. His Illness con-
tinued and yesterday the unmistakable
smallpox rash broke out on him. DR..
G. A. White, the superintendent, has re-
moved the patient to the isolated ward
intended for the care of such cases and
all the patients in the general hospital
have been Vaccinated. There is be-
lieved to be no likelihood whatever of
a spread of the malady, DR.. G. A.
White and the local Board Of Health
having taken every precaution.
Dr. w. p. Mathews, secretary of the
State Board of Health, said to The
Call correspondent this afternoon that
there were in this State at present
about six cases of smallpox, but not a
greater number. All, said the doctor
had their origin in Arizona. The cases
exist in the southern part of the State
several having been reported from Los
Angeles and San Bernardino. DR.
Mathews said that cases have been de-
tected coming from New Mexico. A
thorough quarantine has been estab-
lished on the California State line to
prevent the further Introduction of the
disease.
Honedin, the patient confined at the
County Hospital, says he recently
passed through New Mexico and it is
believed ne became exposed to the dis
ease in the locality to which Dr.
Mathews refers.

Mich Mich 4,a of 1851 Fourth avenue ysas and
- O. nue., East Oakland
This little social item recently pub

land, where John Nicholl and his fam
lily are well known. Nicholl is a man
of great wealth. He was the owner of
a. large portion of Point Richmond,
which he sold to the Valley Railroad.
He also owns several valuable proper
ties in the heart of the city.
John Nicholl is over 70 years of age
and has been a widower for many
years. His family is all grown up and
several of his children are married and
liye:near him. His palatiaI home is on
Fourth avenue, where he resides with
two unmarried daughters. No one
Knew that the old millionaire had any
ide&. OF ever again taking a mistress
into his home and the announcement
created genuine surprise. No one. not
evan his intimate friends whom he
meets every day, had any occasion to
think that Nicholl was looking for an
other wife and the news of the engage
ment was therefore regarded as a mis-
take.
: Now it is stated positively that the
notice Of the engagement is false and
that it is part of a mystery that is
gradually being solved. Miss Nicholl
and Mrs. Wilson, two daughters of the
capitalist, declare that the story of
rheir fathers engagement is false and
they cannot understand why it should
have been published.
There have been rumors during the
past few days that the capitalist might
soon appear as the defendant in q
