BUNKO MEN BATTLE
WITH POLICE.
Arrested for Fleeing a
Father and Son, They At
tempt to Make Escape
WORK ANCIENT TRICK

p J. Miller Sr. and P. ]. Miller Jr..
father and son. from Salinas, were
victims of a bunko game yesterday af
ternoon at ia Franklin street, and as
q result a certified check on a Salinas
bank calling for $50 is alleged to be
IN the hands of the confidence men.
The four opeI ators who sought to
fleece Miller are under arrest at the
Bush-street station. They are William
Fletcher, known as the Painter Kid"
in police circles; Sam Neville, William
Kelly and George Hecht. Two of the
accused men have been arrested before
on similar charges.
According to Miller's story, he and
his son and nephew, Loren Kenny of
535 Twentieth street. Oakland, were
sightseeing IN the city. At the Flood
building they were accosted by two
men, who engaged them in converse
tion relative to the recent catastrophe
An offer TO give the strangers
some views of the fire before and
after the fire induced the father, son
and nephew 70 take a trip to ia
Franklin street where lodging-house
is conducted by P. Dunkleman.
After a brief stay the confidence op-
orators suggested a game Of poker and
Miller Sr. agreed with alacrity- After
q few hands had been played he found
that his small amount of cash, amount
ing 10 about s6, was gone and certi-
fed check for $50 was in the hands
of the other players.
Detectives Mulcahey and Ryan, who
were passing at the time, were called
and arrested the four operators, taking
them TO the Bush-street station. The
check was not found on them, how
ever.
After the arrest all four of the pris-
oners made d daring attempt to es-
cape. The detectives, with drawn
pistols. however. compelled the ac-
cused men to halt. Kelly was knocked
down with the butt end Of a revolver
during the melee

Arrival of Ex-Sergeant Norval Who Was Cut
Down by FillpinoS and Later Executed. =

To be captured by a savage enemy,
dragged for miles through the dense
forests of strange land and then with
the yells of the fast-following rescue
party ringing in your ears to be hur
redly sentenced to Death, to have arms
and feet dashed together with thongs,
to be stood at the brink of a precipice
and at last to lose consciousness as the
flashes burst from the guns Of the fir
ing squad. your eHecutioners-all this
may have happened to more than a few
but not many live to tell about it. One
survivor Of such an experience is E. E.
Norval. who arrived here yesterday
from Manila on the liner China.
Norval went to the Philippines IN
1899 as a non-commissioned officer of
the Twelfth United States Infantry.
His command was assigned for duty in
Nort-ern Luzon, one of the hotbeds of
the insurrection. During a scouting
trip. November 1e, 1899, Norval and
Commissary Sergeant Peterson of the
detachment near Murcin, about sixty
miles north of Manila
Finding themselves surrounded the
two American soldiers, standing back
to back, put up gallant but futile
fight. They fought until they tainted
from loss of blood. Peterson was bo-
loed five times and Norval has six
scars to remind him of that bad quarter
hour.
The prisoners were taken to the in
surgent camp at Mount Aryat, General
Aquino's headquarters. Shortly after
their arrival they we're loined by C. G.
Cooke, Charles Cooke and Alonzo
Brown, all of the Ninth Infantry and
all captured in the same engagement
The American troops. bent on rescue,
were close on the heels of the party
bringing in the last three prisoners.

JUDGES IN
WAR OVER BAIL.

A difference Of opinion between Po-
Hce Judge Shortall and Police Judge
Mogan as to the Jurisdiction of gam
bling case against f1fty-two Chinese
came to light yesterday in the office
of Auditor Horton through a discrep-
ancy iof $500 in the court receipts as
shown by the August reports Of Judge
ShortaH and the County Treasurer.
I. Judge Shortalls report showed $3.50
more collected in his court during the
month than was shown by the report
of the Treasurer's Office, and an investi-
cation showed that the difference was
due to the Chinese case. Judge Shor-
tall declared the cash bail of the fifty
two Chinese forfeited, and the case
was later dismissed and the bail money
ordered returned by Judge Mogan.
Shortall declares that Mogan had no
jurisdiction and that his own order of
forfeiture must stand, while Mogan
claims that the case came to his court
alone has jurisdiction.
The Chinese were arrested on a
charge of being found in a gambling
house. The case was set for Judge
Shortalls court and when called on Au-
gust 20 only six of the men were pres
ent, with Attorney Hugh O'NeilI to rep
resent them. He asked for a continu-
ance. which was refused. and the $500
bail was ordered forfeited, ,O'Neill then
asked for transfer to Judge Mogan' s
court on the ground of prejudice. rnis
was granted on August 20 and the
case set in his rcour. for Angus %, at
which time all the defendants appeared.
In the meantime, on August 81, Judge
Shortall drew up the formal written
order of forfeiture.
The case against the. Chinese was
lack of evidence and an order issued
refunding the bail. Shortall claims .-nat
this could not override his own order of
forfeiture, and that the. amount as
sessed must be made good. Mogan, on
the other hand, declares that no COM
plants had been filed until the case
had been brought into his court on Au-
gust %, and that as an attorney
may appear in any misdemeanor case
for his clients Shortall had absolutely
no Jurisdiction or right to forfeit the
bail.
Judge Mogan declared that the whole
trouble was due to the personal en-
nifty between Judge Shortall and At
torney .O'Neill, and at, the time he or
dered the bail refunded filed with both
the Treasurer and Deputy County Clerk
a written statement setting forth all
the facts of. the case in detail. He
said Judge Shortall refused to sign an
order as he requested setting aside his
order of forfeiture and that he was
told he would have to settle the case
with the Chief of Police.

UNLAWFUL SHERIFF
LOSES SALARY:

When a man serves as an official for
any length of time and then is removed
from Office by legal contest, the wages
he drew while occupying the position
may be legally claimed by the man
who won the contest, according to a
decision rendered yesterday by the
Supreme Court.
The decision of the court was in the
case Of James Chubbuck against s. H.
Wilson. These two men were rivals in
q Butte County election for the posi-
ton of Sheriff in November 1902. will
son was declared elected by the Board
Of Supervisors and accordingly he took
charge of the Office the following jan
uary.
Chubbuck at once began legal bat
tie TO gain the position and he won
the Superior Court rendering deci-
sion in his favor January "a. 1903.
AS Wilson appealed the case to the
Supreme Court he declined to vacate
the Office until second decision should
be rendered The higher court affirmed
the decision Of the Superior Court and
Wilson surrendered the Office TO Club
buck April 25. 1904. The latter, how
ever, was not satisfied merely to get
the position awarded to him but en-
tered suit for the wages that had been
paid Wilson while he was occupying e
the Office. amounting to total of
$500. The Superior Court decided the
case in favor Of Wilson and then Club
buck appealed il TO the Supreme Court,
with the result as before mentioned.
The Supreme Court decision ends as
follows:
AS we have seen, the defendant be-
came the intruder by holding posses
sion of the oflce after the judgment
Of the Superior Court He had, of
course. the right to appeal, and he had
the right TO draw salary until the ap-
peal was determined Upon the other
hand he could have surrendered the
Office and still have prosecuted his ap-
peal Acting as he did, he acted at
the peril Of the result. It is therefore
ordered that the judgment be reversed
and the demurrer be overruled with
leave Of the defendant TO answer"

TOM HON MAY STAY,
SAYS WH|TS0N.

In a written decision United States
District Judge Whitson yesterday de-
MED the application of United States
District Attorney Devlin for an order
for the. deportation of Tom Hon, Chi
nese. alleged to be unlawfully in the
country.
The case of Tom Hon is peculiar He
arrived in this city on the steamship
Oceanic on August 80, 1890. and al
though Shinto priest was denied ad-
mission His petition for a writ of
habeas corpus was granted, and pend
ing the determination of the matter
he was released on $500 BAIL When
the case was called before the United
States Commissioner Tom Hon was
missing. and he was thereupon ordered
deported to China. Shortly after his
escape he secured a certificate of resi-
dence under the Geary act Nothing
more was heard of him until last month
when he applied to John Fouga, Dep
uty Clerk of the United States District
Court, for copy of the order releas-
ing him from custody. Fouga, seeing
by the papers that~Tom was an es-
cape, notified United States Marshal
Elliot and had Tom placed under. ar
rest.
Judge Whitson decided that Tom
Hons certificate entitled him to re-
main in the country, and for the rea-
son that there was no Judgment against
him denied the motion for deportation
