As the waters recede fish stories come in. One that
rs positively true is told by }. w. Coquillette, a pioneer
merchant, whose word is above reproach. With spear in
hand he came upon seven large redhorse lying in shallow
water. The leader OF the school was just ahead of the
SIX that lay behind in pairs. Mr.. Coquillette speared
the leader, put each foot upon the rear pair, then knelt
upon and held down the next two with his knees, now to
lodge the spear handle on his shoulder while he picked
up the other TIVE with his hands, thus bringing to dry
land all of the fish at but one stroke Of the spear.
The aggregate of loss in the different counties from
dipping cattle will foot up considerable, including drown
ings, loss in milk by dipping dairy cows, the shock caus-
ing a ~shrinkage for several days. 1t is claimed that the
hot dip of 10 degrees scalds the cows teats, making
the task Of milking them afterwards a very dangerous
one. The claim is made by at least one responsible
stockman that his cattle took the itch from dipping, he
having dipped them only for lice. Probably three-fourtts
OF the cattle in the quarantined counties have been
dipped, with prospects of protests to the last before all
agree to the order.

MONNIER FAMILY TROUBLES
ARE DENIED BY THE WIDOW
Says She Did Not Call George Bad
Names and Denies Other Evil
dence Submitted.

A further cross-examination of Mrs.
Anna Monnier and more DIRECT exam
ination by her 'attorney kept the Wild
ow of the wine dealer on the stand
nearly all of yesterday, and the onlp
other witness was Miss Esther Har-
din, who visited the Monnier home on
occasions. She declared that George
Monnier Jr. used bad language to-
ward his father and mother. and she
told of an instance when, the young
man having either lost or pawned his
overcoat, the father became so indig-
nant that he proclaimed that he
would never leave the boy anything
in his will.
Mrs. Monnier was questioned at
length regarding the many stories of
trouble in the family and of the
fathers attitude toward the boy. She
denied a great deal of the evidence
given by George and his wife and was
particularly emphatic in saying that
ehe had not called him an unmen-
tionable name. IF he says l did he's
a liar." said the angry witness.
Mr.. Sullivan asked her about a will
made by Monnier in 1896, in which, 1t
was rumored, half of his fortune had
been left to the adopted son. She
said that her husband had given her
the will to read, but she had not
enough curiosity to peruse 1t. 1t had
been laid away in the safe and was
not destroyed until 1908. a long time
after the second will, in which George

Tillman May Be Named on
Health and Park Bodies

The newly appointed Commissioners
of Public Works Edward II. Aigeltlnger
and Thomas F. Egan took their oatns
of office before the Mayor yesterday
and received their commissions after
filing their official bonds. Egan, who
had positively declared that he wouio
not accept the appointment because ne
had been given Herbert Schmitzs un-
expired term of one year instead OF the
three-year term. evidently realized tnat
one-third of loaf is better than none'
for after another conversation Win tue
Mayor he decided to change his mlno
about refusing and signified his ac-
ceptance of the Office.
Aigeltinger and Egan at once re-
paired to the meeting room OF the
Board Of Works, where Commissioner
Maestretti and retiring Commissioner
Schnitz were on hand to meet them.
The new Commissioners took their seats
and listened to a short speech from
Schmitz, in which he eulogized his for
mer colleague, Commissioner Maestret-
II, who was at once elected president OF
the board, being placed in nomination
for the honorary position by Angel
finger. The board then adjourned until
the regular meeting to-day. Both Aig-
eltinger and Egan filed official bonds
with personal surettes.
The Mayor did not announce his Sc
lections yesterday for the vacancies on
the Park and Health boards to sue
ceed Frank Sullivan and DR.. Poheim,
now Police Commissioner. The place
on the Health Board has been offered
to DIR. Frank J. Tillman, who was de-
posed from his position as assistant in
the laboratory by the very board upon
which the Mayor desires to place him.
Tillman has indicated that he
will accept. He is personal
friend of the Mayor and on that ac-
count and because he more nearly rep
resents the new school of medicine has
he been decided upon for the appoint
ment William H Metson is still men,
toned for the Park Commissionership.
Doc" Leahy was offered the place, but
declined and made a special request of
the Mayor that Metson be appointed.
There are three secretaryships of
commissions to which new appoint
ments will be made in a few days.
They are those of the Park, Public
Works and Police boards. The scheme
as outlined includes the appointment of
James de Succa as storekeeper of the
Board of Education to succeed Thomas
Egan and the naming of Herbert
SchmitZ to be secretary of the Park
Commission. There are several aspir-
ants for secretary of the Police Board
now that Alexander O'Grady has de-
clared that he does not want it. Among
these is Barney Flood, an assistant
bond and warrant clerk, who is a
strong candidate for the place.

weeks she went off on her own hook

GRAND JURY TAKES UP
ELECTION BOARD CASE
Commissioners TO Be Accused Again in
Connection With Appointments
of Primary Officers.

The Election Commissioners are not
yet clear of Grand Jury entangle-
ments. Although the charges pre-
ferred by the former inquisitorial
body were dismissed by Judge Law
lor. the prosecution is to be renewed.
The present Grand Jury yesterday
took up the inquiry of appointment of
election officers for the primaries held
in August last, and it is thought the
accusation of malfeasance, demanding
the removal of the board, will be pre-
sented at the next meeting, which Is
to be held on Friday. 1t has been
generally known that the jurors would
file new accusations to correct the
technical defects of the previous
bills.
The Grand Jury also spent some
time yesterday in considering the mat
ter of police corruption in China
town. The investigation has been at
a standstill for some time. Police
Commissioners Reagan and Drink
house, in conference with Fore
man Andrews, agreed not to take UP
their trial of the accused police
officers until the Grand Jury shall
have concluded its inquiry.

ABSCONDS WITH
UNIONS FUNDS
Warrant Issued for Arrest
of Maurice Donahue, Trus-
tee of the Cooks Society

For nearly month the members OF
Cooks Union No. A have been aware
of the fact that one of their trustees
had absconded with 1920 of the
funds of the union, but for reasons
best known to themselves they have
tried to keep the matter from the pub
lie. The fact became known yesterday
when Charles A. H. Smith, business
agent of the union, with headquarters
at 107 Mason street, swore to war
rant before Police Judge Conlan for
the arrest of Maurice Donahue on
charge of felony embezzlement.
Donahue is the absconding trustee
and so far no trace of him has been
found. 1t appears that during j
strike at one Of the leading restau-
rants in the early part of last month
members of the union became uneasy,
as they were threatened with suits
for damages, writs of injunction and
other legal procedure. A meeting
was held and it was decided to with
draw the funds amounting to 1920
from the treasurer's hands and the
bank and deposit them in the vaults
of the Columbian Banking Company.
Trustee Donahue was entrusted
with the task and he withdrew the
money from bank on December IA.
He disappeared about that time and
when inquiry was made it was dis
covered that Donahue had deposited
the money in the vaults in the name
of r. S. Roberts and had obtained
the key to the box. When the box
was opened with a duplicate key 1t
was found to be empty.
A call was made by an anxious del
egation at "a Hawthorne street. where
Donahue lived, and it was learned
that on the night of December IA
Donahue packed his grip, saying he
was going on a short trip, and that
was the last seen or heard of him.
The police now have charge of the
case and every effort will be made to
locate the v,iSSinr trIISfae

the law, Mrs. Murray opined, proposes
to prevent maternal discipline of a
revolutionary child, then the law would
better be abolished and society permit
ted to obey its individual dictates as
to what Is right and what Is wrong.
Things have come to a pretty pass, in
deed, the lady declared, when any chit
of a girl can go before magistrate
and effect her mothers arrest for ad-
ministering corporal punishment. Had
the magistrate she then was address
ing ever heard of an adage relative to
the sparing of rods and the spelling of
children? II not, he would better con-
suit his Solomon.
The court bore meekly the rebuke
and as meekly hearkened to the oral
painting Of Mrs. Murray's character in
rather somber colors by several Of her
neighbors, who had been summoned as
witnesses for the prosecution. They
testified that she was a common scold
and much given to inebriety: that her
husband was forced to abandon her be-
cause of her behavior; that her chill
dren were marvels of goodness, con-
sidering their home life, and that a
term in prison would not be bad
thing for her or anybody connected
with her.
Then the defendant was ordered into
custody as the result of her having
tried to intimidate the complainant by
threatening to accuse her of wayward-
ness and request that she be placed in
reformatory institution. The girl
testified that she was employed as a
domestic and contributed $40 Of her
monthly earnings to her mother, whose
display of ill-temper and incidental
inability to obtain more money.
The mother will be sentenced to-day.
