CAPT. STEWARDS BONES
We're Probably Those Recently IN
covered on the SHIRLEY Farm.

The Chieftain recently published
an account of the finding Of the
skeleton of a man supposed to
have been murdered years ago
near the town of Barron. The
bones were uncovered by men who
were blowing on the Shirley farm
and the skeleton showed that it
had been undisturbed for quite a
number OF years. There was a
bullet hole in the skull, and a
tuft of reddish hair and beard was
found in a good state by the skele-
ton. No flesh or tissues attached
to the bones.
The item relating the above facts
was taken from the Chieitain by
the associated press and published
in papers broadcast throughout
the country
Today the Chieftain received a
letter from NJ. G. Miller, a mer-
chant OF Sulphur Springs, Texas,
which throws some ligh. upon the
identity of the corpse.
Mr.. Miller states that in the
winter OF 1861 an uncle OF his,
Captain G. S. Stewart command
ing a company OF the 9th Texas
volunteers G. S. A., had a brush
with a number of Indians COM
manded by Opothohola near the
place where the skeleton was
found.
Captain Stewart was killed
shot through the head. His re-
mains were wrapped in a blanket
and buried in a shallow grave.
His comrades piled burnt brush
over the mound in order to pre-
vent the body from being mutt
lated by the Indians. Captain
Stewards hair and beard were a
light red in color.
Mr.. Miller desires further infor'
nation regarding the finding and
disposition of the bones as he be.

CLAIMS DEEDS
ARE VALUELESS
Serious Charge Is Made
Against Notary by
Oil Company.

The Kern River Oil Company Consoli-
dated filed suits in the Superior Court
yesterday against Notary Public f. G..
Mosebach and Martin Jones and A. Ros-
enblund his sureties, for $1225 and $2125
the. prices paid by the company for two
lots of land in Kern County. The plain
tiff corporation claims that the deeds are
false and valueless by reason of the fact
that the original owners of the land did
not sign the deeds in the presence Of
Mosebach. as he as a notary attested,
and that the names of the owners were
not signed by them.
The original owners of the section Of
land for which the oil company paid $1225
were Mr.. and Mrs. j. Winfield Pearson
Jr., Herbert Murray, Mrs. A. M. Porter,
Miss ErneStine COughran, NJ. L. Temple
ton and Theodore eastman. The second
lot was owned by R. ]. Graf, John w.
Pearson Mrs. M. p. Pearson, A Francis
Hall, John f. Uhlhorn, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jackson Sauf1ey and George w. Pearson.
The deeds were executed December 27,
1900, and according to Mosebach's certifi-
cations the parties owning the land ap-
peared before him and affixed their sig
natures to the documents.
In the suit filed yesterday the oil COM
pany claims it was informed in October
last that the parties owning the land did
not appear before the notary and sign the
conVeyances, but that the signatures to
the deeds were not signed by the owners.
The plaintiff claims that it has made de-
mand upon Mosebach and his sureties
for the sums paid for the property and
that they have refused to comply with the
demand.

DYING TEACHER
IS DENIED LEAVE
Board Learns Miss Mo
roney's True Condi-
ton Too Late.

Miss Mary E. Moroney, teacher in the
School Department, whose application for
a weeks leave of absence on account of
sickness was denied by the Board of Edu-
cation at it's last meeting, died Christmas
day at ST. Mary's Hospital after a surgi-
cal operation. At yesterdays meeting IF
the board President Kincaid announced
that after the denial of the leave the
physician in attendance on Miss Moroney
notified the School Director that his pa
tient was seriously i'll and the leave was
thereupon granted by Mrs. Kincaid on
her own authority. 1t was not ratified
by the board, however until it was too
late, for Miss Moroney died before it was
effective. She was elected in the School
Department on February 21, 1871, and was
highly regarded as an educator. She was
an assistant in the Franklin Grammar
School for number Of years.
The withdrawal by Miss Annie E. Sla-
van of her resignation as principal of the
Cleveland Primary School was read and
taken under advisement.
Miss Ruth G. Campbell, a teacher in
the Jean Parker School, made applica-
ton to be placed on the list of retired
teachers.
The recommendations of the City Board
of Examination for certificates to be
granted to teachers which have been pub
lished were adopted:
The annual report of Truant officers
Floyd and Cavanagh showed that they
attended to 218 calls. The report says:
Frequently tardy and unruIy boys cause dis
tubance at different schools. This has been
corrected by compelling punctuality at school
and lecturing the unruly ones. Many COM
plants of boys remaining away from school
shows a desire to work with a disposition to
attend night school.

! TOO MUCH JOHNSON
IN POLICE COURTS
Three of the Family With the Same
Christian Name Bewilder the
JudpeS

There was a case Of ''Too Much John
son" in the Police Courts yesterday, and
three Of the Judges and their bailiffs were
kept in a ferment for more than an hour.
Judge MOgan had a Charles Johnson on
his calendar who was charged with bur
glary. When the case was called a man
answered to the name, but declared en-
phatically that he was not a burglar and
said he had been arrested for battery.
Ihree times the case was called and three
times Johnson made the same statement.
1t began to look awkward for Johnson
till Assistant District Attorney Hanley of
Judge Cabaniss' court asked Mogan if he
had a Charles Johnson in his dock who
was charged with battery. Johnson was
taken out of the dock and proved that he
was the man wanted by Hanley, and was
taken before Judge Cabaniss.
About the same time Bailiff Walsh of
Judge Conlan's court asked Judge Mogan
If he had a Charles Johnson on his caien-
dar charged with disturbing the peace. as
with that charge against him who had
failed to answer to his name Mogan ex-
plained to Walsh that he had a Charles
Johnson, but he had been turned over to
Judge Cabaniss- Walsh returned in few
minutes and told Mogan that Conlan's
Johnson had been out on bail and had
made his appearance
Where is my Burglar Johnson?" asked
Mogan, but no one could give a satisfac-
tory answer. Finally Bailif Hickey was
sent to the City Prison and Burglar John
son was found in his cell and brought into
court, and Mogan breathed freely. as he
had two other Johnsons, P. B. and John.
on his calendar and began to get afraid of
another mix-up.

PLAYWR|GHTS
AND BALLAOISTS
Punditti in Discussion Of
Literati Of the Past
Centuries.

The third annual meeting of the Philo-
logical Association of the Pacific Coast
was held in the Mark Hopkins Institute
of Art yesterday afternoon, Ewald F'lugel
in the chair. There was large attend
ance and the papers read were profound,
argumentative and of varied character
and color. Professor f. b. Clapp, Uni
versity of California, read a paper giving
full and complete statement of Pindar' S
usage in the matter of hiatus, with a new
explanation of some of the cases and OBJ
servations on the poets habits of compo-
sition.
Miss Reynolds of Los Angeles entered
into the spirit of the professors sugges-
tions and took up several of the points in
a very able manner.
Professor c. M. Gayley, University of
California, aroused the interest of the au-
dience with a paper entitled Fresh Light
on Henry Porter" He showed Porter to
be neglected but important Elizabeth
ian dramatist, whose works he ventured
to predict would before long come promi-
nently before the public again. Some
learned authorities had attributed the
plays Of Porter to another of the same
name. Henry Porter, a profound musician,
but Professor Gayley combated the idea
and showed that they were two distinct
veloped realistic comedy-the comedy of
humor. The speaker cited as an instance,
the dramatist's play, 1.-TWO Angry
Women of Arlington"
Professor Johnson, Leland Stanford Jr.
University contributed a paper, "The
Fountain Episode in Chretien de Troies'
Yvain." The first part dealt with the
Celtic sources of Chretien's description of
the fountain of Barenton in Brittany.
Chretiens version was probably a fusion
of several older fountain stories. The
second part of the paper discussed the
source of the Loudine legend.
Professor e. M. Pease, Leland Stanford
Jr. University read paper on the sig
nificance of the different forms of address
in the Latin VOCatiVe.
California, contributed paper entitled

Buried Under Beer Barrels.

Michael Devareaux, a laborer in the
employ of the Spring Valley Water Com
Pany, was buried under several beer bar
rels in trench on Eighth street yester-
day. Devareaux was in the trench en-
gagged at his work when a beer wagon
drove along Eighth street. The driver.
without any apparent regard for the
safety of either himself or others, per
mitted the wagon to run into the trench
The result was that lot of empty barrels
got jolted out of the wagon, falling on TOP
of Devareaux. He was extricated and
taken to the Emergency Hospital where
DIR. McElroy treated him for several lac
Grated wounds Of the head and face and
confused injuries to his body. The shock so
prostrated Devareaux that it was thought
for time he would die. The injured man
lives at S03 Harrison street

Corporations Sued.

George Nisbet is suing Joseph Werfnger
and the Greenback Copper Company for a
one-fifth interest in a section of land in
Kern County owned by the Copper Com
pany. He claims that he gave Weringer
$25OO to purchase the land in dispute and
that the latter transferred it to the
Greenback Copper Company, which sub
sequently pooled issues wich the Green
back Copper Mining Company, corpora
ton owning the other half of the section
of land. Weringer obtained through the
conveyance of the share of the land he
purchased for Nisbet one-fifth of the
shares of stock issued by the companies
and Nisbet asks the court to declare that
the Weringer stock is held in trust for
him.

SUN PERFORMS STUNT
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Sets Fire to Picture in Range of Lens
in the Ferry Build ~

The sun did stunt on Christmas day
that puts San Francisco's climate upon
a high plane Shining through window
that was closed and being focused by a
magnifying glass in a large monUcle
used for the examination of photographs,
the summer-Iike rays of the sun set fire
to a picture Of Mount Hamilton that
rested on an easel in the rooms Of the
State Board of Trade in the ferry build
ing. When the rooms were opened yes
terday morning the remains of the pic
ture were seen mainly in ashes under
the easel.
+ernnined that the winter sun had heat
on days other than Christmas A board
was placed in the spot where the heat
was centered and there Immediately ap-
reared a black spot on the board, accom-
panied by the smell Of scorched wood;
5Tbis confirms all that has been said
about the warmth of the winter climate
Of San Francisco.
