THE COURTS RULING.
decision Made That Merchants Are
Entitled to Exemnfians

DVSAsAoH HcTcn0nt8 are
Entitled to Exemptions.
A question of some Importance to BUSH
ness men was decided by Justice Bradley
In the case Of Rosenblott against Mallett,
or hearing today in Circuit Court No 2
Rosenblott, in July last, was dealer in
boots and shoes in this city and Mallett, q
constable, took possession of his stock to
satisfy the claims of a creditor who had
obtained Judgment. Rosenblott alleged
that the constable had no right to take the
property, claiming it to be of no more
than 5000 in value, and therefore exempt.
On behalf of the constable, Attorneys
Ralston, Siddons and Jones commended that
the exemption laws applicable to the case
did not apply to a person engaged in trade,
but only to mechanics. The court, how
ever. after a discussion of the whole act,
held that the application of the act for the
benefit of a merchant was clear; that it
provided for all classes of debtors. covering
mechanics, merchants, professional men,
artists and farmers, and that Rosenblott.
being householder, the head of a family
and engaged in trade as a merchant, was
entitled to his exemptions.
The jury returned verdict of $500 in
favor of the plaintiff, who was represented
by Attorney Leon Tobriner.

BALDWIN STILL LUCKY
Millionaire and Turfman Meets For
 tune at Home.

Lucky Baldwin has struck it rich again. This Is the news that comes from the far-away gold fields of Cape Nome. where it is said that the Calf fnrnian has discov red gold mines of fabulous wealth in the interior of from q secret prospecting trip with the proofs of 100 claims in his pocket. For years F. J. Baldwin, or Lucky Baldwin, by which name he has been best known has been one of th= most conspicuous figures on the American turf, though for the last four or five years his colors, black jacket and red maltese sash and cap, have been very little in evidence
 Shortly he had won his fourth Ameri- can derby at Washington park in 1894
 the tide of fortune turned against him and his i'll luck reached the climax in November. 1898, when the burning down of the Baldwin hotel in San Francisco left him all but stranded He still retained, however the beautiful Santa Anita ranch, near Los Angeles. upon which some of the greatest horses known to the American turf were bred, but even this was heavily mortgage and those who knew the old man bes, or thought that they did, declared that he would never get up again, but they did not know the man. as the result proves. Some tima since the destruc- ton of the hotel he sold the land upon which it had stood and declared his in- tentiOn of going to Cape Nome, saving that the money was there for the man w'Ao knew how to get it. Fitting out a ship with provisions for eight months he put theatre, ready to be nailed to- gether, In the hold. loaded the cabin with troupe of Hawaiian dancers and vaudeville performers, and sailed away. This theatre is said to have made money from the start. but not content with this. the old mna. who is now nfarly three score and ten. must take pick and provisions and go pros pecting for gold in the wilderness. Of late years Baldwin has insisted that it was pluck and not luck that built up the great fortunes that he has won and lost. and that it is as Plucky Baldwin and not as Lucky Baldwin that he should be known, and this. roo. is the opinion of the men who know him best.
 F. J. Baldwin first saw the light on farm near Racine, Wis. When a boy of IS he took a race horse to South Bend, Ind. and, with the assistance of some farmer friends. secured possession of the money of two sharps from Chicago who had a horse that they thought could run some. With this money he started grocery store, prospered, bought string of horses and wagons. and started for California. By judi "ious trading on the way he added largely to his capital. and after mar row escape from Indians in Utah he reached San Francisco in 1859. He fig ured that many millions of brick would soon be needed in the town. bought a partnership in a brick yard, learned the brick-making business, started q brick yard of his own and made a fortune

THE QUIJOTOA DISTRICT
Lots of Good Mines-0ne Big Deal
 Closed.

A reporter for the Tucson Star inter- viewed Frank Brownen who is in that town to closa a al with some Chicago parties Go whom he has bonded some mines in the above district. The gen. tlemen Were thery to meet him and the papers were signed Monday.
 He says that the Chief and Century New York company and is incorporated under the name of fhe Chief Mining and Milling company. The group con sists of four claims. Work was begun the 18th of last April and they are now 200 tons of ore Cn the dump which is silver-gold d-copper proposition. Gold $2 to $4 and copper 6 to 8 per cent
 These mines were located some tw,lve years ago but litigation has re- fight no less than three law suits to q finish; the last in the United States courts. Charles E. Attax of Tucson is superintendent and I. presents the com- pany. They are now waiting for q gasoline hoist that has been ordered. When it arrives more men will be put on and work push d.

Then he started a livery stable and in five years had accumulated money enough to warrant him in taking trip around the world. In Japan he secured company of acrobats. He brought th, m to san Francisco, played them to immense business and took them on q tour through the mining camps of the state. Finally he played them in New York at the academy of music to i'm mense profits. Baldwin went back tn San Francisco and in some manner be- came poss5 ssed of shares in the Ophir mine. When the Comstock lode was discovered shares in the Ophir boomed and the owners cunspired to freeze
 Baldwin out. He got wind of their plans half an hour before thy were to be put into execution, confronted the schemers at d meeting. and fought
 them with fists, cuspidors, chair and revolvers for nearly an hour, until his attorney arrived with an injunction.
 Always a lover of horses. and having made his start in life through their agency, it is not to be wondered at that after Baldwin had become rich his thoughts again reverted to the turf. He was already the owner of several race horses when the late J. F.. Brew ster and others of the famous McDan- iels confederacy visited the coast with stable of horses early in the 70s, and of MT. Brewster Baldwin purcha sed two stallions, Grinstead and Ruther- ford, whose gst in after years made tha colors of the California turfman fla nous in all sections of the country. Late in the 70s the Baldwin horses
 made their first appearance in the east. The star of his stable at that timn was the famous MOllie Mccarthy. a cup
 mare of the highes st class and one that carried all before her, winning lmCng other races the Garden City cup Ut the old West Side Driving park, in which she beat enc of the best fields of horses that eV5r started in America. In 1881 the Baldwin cOlors were again very much in evidence at the local tracks. and nothing but the breaking down of Fallen Leaf al thr West side track in the early part of June pr vented him
 from carrying off the first AmerC an derby. won by Majesty, at Washing ten
 park. From that time until 1894 ihe
 Baldwin stable was the most impor- tant factor in tn" making of turf his tory, he winning the American derby in 1885 with Nolante. that of 1886 with
 Silver Cloud. that uf 1888 with Emperor of Norfolk, and that 1f 1894 with R. y al Santa Anita. besides winning the lions share of stakes and purse, that he started for both here and at Sara tOga.
 Among some of the most famous | horses that have carried the black jacket and red malt se cross and sash i in the last decade, besides those that have already been mentioned, may be named Lucky F., Gano and Freda. all of which were known as animals of .h- cup kind; Los Angeles, Miss Ford, Mol lie McCarthy's Last, Esperanza.
