CHAPTER XXI-Continued.

The clash finally came. The boats
came together like so many battering
rams. Curses arose loud over the
calm waters. The boats surged back
and forth like living animals. The
grim dark forms of the fishermen
writhed and contested with each other
like serpents of the sea.
"Back you gillnetters You des-
tIoyers of the fish," shouted the north
siders.
Away with you, you trappers
You cause our families to starve!" re-
piled the men from the southside,
with bitter oaths.
The resistance ON the part of the
northsiders was short lived. The over
whelming numbers against them soon
began to tell. By sheer force they
we've driven toward their traps. The
prows OF the southsiders' boats were
against theirs, and they were swept
along like driftwood before a huge
raft.
The red in the east was making
things more visible on the water. 1t
was easy to see that the northsiders
were losing ground at every point.
But suddenly volley of shots rang out
down the liver. Another followed.
The curses of the fishermen rose above
these.
'The soldiersl?" shouted the north
siders.
Course upon tie head of Gabe
Jarvi!' shouted the southsiders.
Then the steamer carrying the
militia appeared dividing the contest
ing fishermen like chaff. They fired
volleys occasionally above the heads Of
the retreating belligerents in oider to
hasten their departure.
"Bangl" rang out rife shot from
a retreating party to the south.
"Iake that" exclaimed q murder

its course, ploughing through the craft
of the contending fishermen, the south

speed.

CTS sankala coming?" asked one
the women of another.
s'She promised after long persuasion
10 come. But she only agreed to re-
main a short time. Ringwold is about
exhausted from his work with the
wounded and Sankala does not think 1T
right anyway, to celebrate while the
wounded are so low. She thought 1t
wrong to give the ball while Old Seadog
is lying at the point of death"
"It doesn't seem tc worry Hazel,
his daughter" remarked another
woman who was watching the rich fish
erman's child, wreathed in smiles,
while she entertained the captain OF
the militia.
The crowd had gathered and the
grand march and quadrille that fol-
lowed were over. All we've seated
again when a slight sensation near the
door caaused the pleasure seekers TO
look in the direction. The soldiers
commenced to applaud, and continued
until the house fairly shook. Dan
Lapham and Sankala had just entered
Sankala was very pale. She was
dressed very plainly but neatly, and
carried her left arm in strip of white
silk which pended from her neck. The
soldiers focked ABOUT her and were
profuse with congratulations.
excuse me, there is Sankala, our
brave little heroinel" said Captain
Budlong and left Hazel and rushed to
grasp the hand of the orphan.
The men broke away at the ap-
proach of the commander. Captain
Budlong was full of praise for the girl,
inquired about her wounded ann and
was very attentive.
"May | have the next waltz after
this one-pardon me Mr.. Laphaml"
said the captain turning TO Sankal las
.scort after making the request of her.
"Dan doesn't waltz" replied San
kala
"Then may have this one-I will
be careful with the arm?" said the
captain for the music was Just sarting
up and the dancers were beginning.
"Certainly," replied Sankala as Dan
nodded his approval.
When the waltz was over Captain
Budlong escorted Sankala to a seat
near Hazel seadog Sankala spoke to
Hazel but the latter took no notice of
lci. Odpbdin DuQlOIR cdW IL Oub
thought Hazel did not hear Sankala
speak.
81 have just had nice dance with
our little heroine" remarked the cap
tain. "Don you think she is pretty
and good?"
'She is only one of our employees
and l do not recognize her as social
equal" replied Hazel with all the Sea-
dog venom expressed in her voice and
eyes.
Captain Budlong looked sharply at
his companion. His first lieutenant
relieved Sankala's embarrassment by
leading her to another portion of the
room. Dan Lapham was engaging a
number of fishermen at another por-
ton of the house by telling them of
the result of the peace commission
labors.
The dance continued until nearly
midnight without farther incident when
messenger rushed in, almost out of
breath, and announced that Old Sea-
dog was dying.
"Ringwold, too, has collapsed and
is at the house of Seadog," said the
bearer of bad news.
Captain Budlong hurried away with
Hazel and Dan and Sankala followed.

ELDERLY WOMAN
CHARGES FRAUD
Serious Accusations Made
in Suit for the Recovery
of Spring Valley Stock

Old. partially paralyzed and bedrid-
den, Wilhelmina RosentnaI came into
the Superior Court yesterday with a
complaint charging a long time friend,
whom she had trusted, with having
appropriated 306 shares of Spring Val
ley Water stock belonging to her. The
suit was begun through Emile A
Dierks, who, on August s6, was ap-
pointed guardian of the plaintiff upon
a showing that Mrs. Rosenthal was
unable to care for herself or look after
her business. Robert ]. Woods and the
Spring Valley Water Company are the
defendants.
The plaintiff is seventy-two years old
and it is alleged that she has trusted
Woods for years. She was unable. it
is said, to comprehend business matters
and on August 5 Woods called at her
lodgings and represented to her that
it was unsafe for her to keep the shares
in her possession. On his representa-
the stock over to him, with the under
standing that he was to collect the
dividends for her. At the same time,
she says, he submitted a document,
which she signed. ignorant of it's con-
tents. On the strength of the docu-
ment. it is claimed, Woods had her
shares transferred to his name and has
collected $1S9 rs in dividends.
1t is alleged that he now claims to
be the owner of the shares and has de-
clined to surrender them upon the de-
mand made by Emile Dierks. The
court is asked to decide that the docu-
ment by which Woods got the stock is
void and that the shares be retrans-
ferred.

-FOUR FELONS
ARE SENTENCED
Edward Richards, Tried for
Murder, Convicted of Man
slaughter, Gets Ten Years

Judge LawlOr passed sentence yes
terday upon three defendants who had
been convicted by juries in his court.
The Judge denied the motion for a
new trial in the case of Edward Rich
ards, tried for murder and convicted
or manslaughter. and sentenced him
10 serve ten years in Folsom Peniten-
tiary. which is the limit.
Richards came to the city from vi
salia and on the morning of January 6
went to the saloon of Joseph Martini.
623 Pacific street, with a woman.
Richards and the woman drank three
bottles Of beer and when Martini asked
for payment it was refused. It was
alleged for the defense that Martin:
advanced upon Richards with a club
and Richards pulled a revolver out
Of his pocket and fatally shot Mar
tini.
The Judge in passing sentence said
he did not agree with the verdict Of
the jury. He considered the defendant
committed cool and deliberate mur-
der. There was not one palliating cir
cumstance, but the jury had evidently
thought there was. The demeanor Of
the defendant during the trial was re-
markably cool showing that he was
not in the least disturbed by the grav-

ARGUMENT ENDED IN CASE
OF RAILROAD VS.. BROKERS
Judge Murasky Now Considering Mo-
ton to Dissolve Injunction
Against ScaIpers.

Judge Murasky yesterday morning
heard the conclusion of the argu-
ments on the motion to dissolve the
injunction obtained by the Southern
Pacific and its connecting lines pre-
venting the local ticket brokers from
dealing in the special excursion tick
cts sold for the Templars and Odd
Fellows conventions. The court took
the matter under advisement and an
early decision is looked for, as the
Templars' Conclave opens tomorrow
and every day is important to the
brokers.
Samuel Shortridge, representing the
several dealers in cut rate tickets.
attacked the right of the plaintiffs to
maintain an action in a California
court on the ground that those named
as connecting lines of the Southern
Pacific had not complied with the
statute of 1901, requiring foreign cor
porations to file articles of incorpora-
ton in this State as condition pre-
cedent to gaining right in court.
rms contention was aimed at the
Northern Pacific, Oregon Short Line
and Burlington and Rock Island sys-
TENS.
The evidence of Deputy County
Clerk Charles Morris was taken, show
ing that he could find no record Of
the articles in question having ever
been filed by the two roads named In
this county. On the other side of
the question, Foshay Walker, repre-
senting the railroads, examined
Charles A. Rutherford, district pas
senger agent for the Rock Island, and
r.. y. Mudget, passenger agent for
the Burlington, each of whom testi-
fed that the only business they did
in California was to solicit the pur-
chase of tickets that would take the
passenger over some portion of their
respective lines.
Upon this ground Walker declared
that the roads were only engaged in
the transaction of an. interstate bust
ness and that therefore the applica-
ton of the law quoted by Shortridge
was unconstitutional in that it inter-
fered with interstate commerce.

Hotel Man Wants Damages.

S. Truman yesterday began suit
against Harvey H. Dana for $12,S35
damages and the reformation of a
ten-year lease on the seven-story hotel
at the corner of Hyde and Geary
streets. Truman wants the rental cut
from $1445 month to 5000 a month
on account of the failure of Dana to
complete the building according to
agreement at the time the lease was
made in June, 1903. The chief item
is charged to be Dana's neglect to
put in cold storage plant on time,
and finally when the plant was in
stalled, it would not work, all of
which, it is alleged. was of great dam
age to the perishable goods kept by
the hotel. For this item Truman de-
mands $4,000. The lesser sums MAX
ing the total asked for include Dana's
alleged failure to pay $685. for a
kitchen range.
