ly a Million Dollars for Portion
of Securities.

OF Securities.
A busy scene was witnessed yester-
day in the city treasury, when the
banking syndicate which has pur-
chased a block of the new municipal
bonds turned in nearly a million dol
lars to pay for the securities. The
Mutual Bank hauled in bags contain

crued interest

resumed by the Mayor, Treasurer and
Auditor, and it is expected that the

desires to take up will be ready for
delivery in day or two. AS there
was some delay in the signing of the
bonds City Treasurer McDougald is is
suing receipts to the banks stating
that the bonds will be turned over to

FIREMAN FALLS
THREE STORIES
Charles Nolan, While Fight
ing Fire, Drops Through
an Open Elevator Shaft
ROBERT WOODS INJURED
Bonestell, Richardson & Co.,
Paper Manufacturers, Lose
Heavily Through Flames

Fire broke out in the building oc-
cupied by Bonestell, Richardson & Co.,
paper manufacturers at 401 Sansome
street. last evening. and before the de-
partrnent succeeded in extinguishing
the blaze, damage to the extent OF
$50, 900 had been done. Two firemen
were injured while the fire ragged. Rob-
ert Woods of Truck / was badly cut
about the face and hands by glass.
Charles Nolan of Fire Patrol No. 3
dropped three stories through an ele-
vator shaft and miraculously escaped
with several broken ribs and a larcer
ated scalp.
When the fire was discovered by a
patrolman it was burning on the sec
ond floor. An alarm was turned in and
when the first relay of engines came to
the scene it appeared as If the fire was
an easy one to master. The contrary
proved to be true, however, and as soon
as the flames crept to the third and
fourth floors Chief Sullivan ordered ad-
ditional alarms sent in.
In a few moments flames broke out
from many portions of the four-story
structure and the fire was on in all its
fury. The water tower was placed in
position on Sansome street, and three
water batteries were lined up on Sac
ramento street. With the supply from
this apparatus the floors were deluged
in a short time and the fire died out.
Fireman Woods was climbing a lad
der near window when an explosion
of gas caused the glass to break and
spread in his direction. Though cut
and bruised, Woods made his way to
the ground and was taken to the Har-
Dor Receiving Hospital, where his in
juries were treated. Charles Nolan Of
the fire patrol was on the third floor
when he accidentally stumbled into an
elevator shaft, and when he was picked
UP on the ground floor by fellow fire.
men he was unconscious. An examina-
ton at the hospital, however, showed
that Nolan was not seriously injured
and he will be sent home very soon.
The building, which was to a great
extent destroyed, is the property of
Jonas Schonfeldt. Insurance will cover
the loss on the building, which is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $1,000 The
paper house will lose over $4,000, as
all of the stock was either burned or
damaged by water. According to the
managers about 80 per cent of this
amount Is insured.

DINGEE'S ATTORNEY MOVES
TO QUASH CONTEMPT ORDER
President of Contra Costa Water Com
pany Not in COurt-Mrs. Center
Claims Default

Claims Default.
William j. Dingee was not in Judge
kerrigan's court at the appointed hour
yesterday TO answer to an order to
show cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt, but he was repre-
sented by Garret w. McEnerney, who
moved that the proceedings be
quashed. The motion was argued and
Judge Kerrigan will decide 1t next
week. McEnerney's point was made
upon the insufficiency of the affidavit.
This he said did not show that Dingee
had been served with summons to ap-
pear before 4 notary to give his depo-
sition in the suit of Jeanne d. Center
against him and the Contra Costa Wa
ter Company in which it is charged
that Dingee misappropriated $295,000
under the guise of purchasing titles
and settling litigation.
Mrs. Center was in court with her
attorney w. D. Baggett. who con-
tended that there was sufficient evil
dence of the service in the fact that
Dtngee had appeared by representa-
tives before the notary and obtained
continuance. Said Baggett: "Dingee
Is no better than any one else and
there is no reason why he should not
Ncomply with the law of the land"
McEnerney was ready to argue his
demurrers to Mrs. Center's complaint,
but Baggett said he would first move
to strike them from the files and enter
a default of the defendants because
there had been no appearance in their
behalf. He declared the court had i'm
properly granted several continuances
of their time to plead without an ap-
pearance having been made. He had
demanded an entry of the default from
the County Clerk. but the latter had
refused to make 1t on account of the
continuances granted. The matter
went over for a week.

LAW WYERS TALK
BODIES TROUBLE
Collins Says He Will Hold
Sullivan Accountable in
Person for Strong Words
ATTACK BEFORE JURY
George Monnier's Attorney
Scores Opponent in Court
and Redress Is Promised
ATTACK BEFORE JURY

An affair of honor between Matt I.
Sullivan and George d. Collins, oppos-
ing attorneys in the Monnier case, is to
be settled after the final adjournment
Of the trial, which may be to-day. A
promise to this effect was made by
Collins yesterday morning, when he de-
clared in court that he would hold Sui
livan personally accountable for per-
sonal remarks made in the course of
his address to the jury.
Sullivan had nursed his rage over
certain charges of Collins that Theo-
dore Roche, Sullivan's associate in the
case. had manufactured evidence in
behalf of George Monnier Jr. When
the senior counsel got before the jury
he entered into a defense of his young
assistant. He rebuked Collins for his
attack, and then mentioned the dis
barment proceedings against his ad-
versary. He said: They charged
thievery, perjury and crime which
would place him behind the peniten-
tiary bars" The angry attorney de-
clared that Roche, though young and
mere boy, was far ahead of Collins.

Collins arose and said, II will hold
him personally accountable for his
abuse when this court adjourns. When
he uttered those statements he knew
them to be willful and malicious lies
and Misrepresentation"
Then both seemed to talk at once

and now," and Collins retorted with
evident determination, this is no
bluff
Many expected an encounter would
follow at the noon recess, but Mr.. Col
lins, addressing the court, explained
that when he said he would hold Sui
livan accountable after the adjourn
ment he meant the final adjournment
of the case. He did not care to inter-
rupt the course of the argument and
get himself into contempt.
At the afternoon session Sullivan
continued his address, analyzing the
testimony, and once or twice he di-
gressed to make other reflections upon
Collins, once comparing him with
young Monnier to the latter's advan-
tage and discrediting the source of

In brief, he had about relinqulshed

with him when he sat down to meat,

him from the dance at Teutonia Hall,
on Howard street, to a restaurant on
Sixth street in which his strange lapse
to inconsistencies occurred.

bench reserved for female defendants
in Police Judge Mogan's court, and be-

words of encouragement to his fright
