so strong an antirailroad paper as the

Curtis claiming that he stood with

How Senator Tiiiman Lost an Eye


Although his brothers were old
enough to serve in the confederate
army, Benjamin r. Tiilman was a
school boy of fifteen when the great
struggle began. He knew that at
sixteen he must join the confederate
forces, and his brothers wrote back
from the field entreating him to get
as much education as possible, be-
cause the war might last so long
that he would never again be able to
go to school.
Even at night young Tillman would
continue his studies. frequently car
rying a lighted pine knot into the
woods and lying down with his books
beside 1t. He was a Iank. tall, silent
boy. dictatorial and brusque. but a
natural student. The heat of the pine
torch injured his left eye. and a
plunge in cold water brought on a
tumor that destroyed it.. 1t was the
almost two years illness, following
this mishap that prevented the youth
from serving in arms against the
union.-Pearsonss Magazine.

LOS ANGELES, July 19.-Charges of
a serious nature which may result in
prosecution on charges of felony. were
preferred in the Superior Court today
against Attorney c. B. Ladd the COM
plainants being C. w. Navison of San
Jose and j. r. Wilder of this city.
The alleged Irregularities of which
Attorney Ladd is accused have to do
with his actions as administrator of
the estate of Mrs. Sarah Johnson, who
at the time of her death had valuable
property in San Jose. 1t is charged
that Ladd not only attempted to black
mail Mrs. Della Sherburne, daughter of
the late Mrs. Johnson, but that he made
false affidavit and conspired to de-
fraud Mrs. Sherburne of her share in
the estate.
Ladd applied for letters of admins
tration, making affidavit that there was
no will. Today on the witness stand
he was forced to admit that he had seen
a will, but he declared he did not know
1t to be the will applying to the estate
of which he was administrator.

Complaint of General
Greely to Be Probed
by Postmaster Fisk
SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL


CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING.
army officers at San Francisco have
made complaints against the conduct
Of the postal service in that city and
the matter will be Investigated by
the Postof1ice Department These com
plants, which appear to affect the
city delivery. were embodied in COM
munication from Major General A NJ
Greedy, commanding the Pacific Diyi-
sion, addressed to the Secretary Of
War, who sent It with the accom-
penying papers to the Postmaster Cen
eral. with the suggestion that the
conditions at the San Francisco Post
office. as set forth in the letter, be
locked into. Postmaster General Cor
telyou has turned the whole question
over TO Postmaster Fisk, to whom all
the documents in the case have been
forwarded. with instructions to re-
port fully thereon TO the department
as soon as possible.
From the letter of General Greedy
and other papers relating to the sub
ject, there appears to have been some
delay on occasions recently in the de-
livery OF official mail matter addressed
to army headquarters or to other Of
ficers OF the military establishment in
San Francisco. Certain army officers
brought the matter to the attention
of General Greedy, who, in the usual
course, forwarded the complaints to
Washington. He inclosed with his
communication twenty-five envelopes
which had contained official matter
sent through the mails. The various
postmarks on the envelopes indicated
the alleged delay in delivery con-
cerning which complaint is made
Officials of the Postoffice Department,
pending the investigation by Postmas-
ter Fisk, are not inclined to comment
upon the case, except to say that the
complaints seem TO relate only to the
service of the city delivery and do not
appear to be very serious. 1t is be-
ieved at the department that, If there.
