Old Fe,d Rr.,ks Oh

The feud that has been smoldering
for some time. with sheepmen and
cattlemen as the principals, has ut last
broken ont in Lander county. The
climax was reached last Sunday in the
Grass valley section when Geo. Watt,
president and general manager of the
Lander CJunty Live StGcis Association.
attempted To eject one of the Espiie
Brothers and his sheep from what he
claimed as the Associations range.
According to Watts story he has been
notified that sheep belonging 10 the
Espile Brothers, were being pastured on
this range and he went out to investi-
gate, accompanied by Bill Echivere one
of his riders. Watt claims that lie
found the sheep in charge of the herder
on the company's range and that when
he ordered them off. the herdcr said that
he had instructions TO shoot anyone who
attempted to put him and his sheep off.
and, according to instructions. opened
fire on Watt, with a rifle. One shot
was fired and Watt. who claims he was
unarmed, succeeded in getting ahOld of
the gun and. with his fists, gave the
man Il severe beating. While the
fistic contest was going OH, Watt claims
that he and his companion were again
fired upon by parties who We're ron
cealed behind ONT rocks farther up the
mountain. Six more shots were fired
and, not desiring to listen longer to the
music of cold lead, Watt states that he
and his companion lost no time i'll

PROBATION DOES LITTLE
GOOD FOR THIS YOUTH
Ambrose Carpenter Has Habit
of Forgery That He Cannot
Overcome

Ambrose Carpenter, a young man "a
years of age, is striking example of
the failure of the probation system to
reform him in his criminal instincts.
Twice within the last three years has
Judge Cook released him on probation
and each time he has been arrested
again for committing the same offense
forgery.
Carpenter, under the name of D. r.
Blossom, forged checks to the amount
of $1,000 in 1905 in this city. He was
arrested at the San Francisco national
bank by Detectives Ed Gibson and
Riordan while attempting to pass a
forged check for $125. In October of
that year he was released Oh proba-
tion by Judge Cook About a year
later he was arrested IN Oakland for
passing forged checks amounting to
Sl,70O, and was sentenced TO serve one
year in San Quentin. On his release
Detective Gibson arrested him on the
original charge and he was again taken
before Judge Cook. He made such q
strong plea for another chance that the
Judge again released him on probation.
Yesterday Detective Gibson received
photograph OF Robert Watson, who
had been arrested in Denver on seven
charges Of forgery, and Gibson at once
recognized the photograph as that of
Carpenter After he serves his term in
the Denver penitentiary he will be
brought here to serve term.

MERCHANTS WILL SEEK
CANAL ZONE CONTRACTS
Committee Appointed to Urge
That Bids Be Made for Fur
nishing Supplies

At an informal meeting of the cham
Der Of commerce yesterday afternoon
committee consisting Of J. Blumlein,
4. J. Hammer and Fred McNear was
appointed to call on the wholesale mer-
chants Of this city and urge them to
bid for the contracts of furnishing
supplies to the Isthmian canal commis-
sion. The reply to the telegram sent
to the cOmmissary in Washington by
the chamber of commerce last week
was not satisfactory, in that it is stated
that most of the goods must be de-
livered in New York or New Orleans
One of the reasons that has been set
forth regarding the delivery of food
stUffs at La, BOca, on the Pacific coast
is that there is no regular steamer
service to that port. A committee con-
sisting Of William Haas. J. X Moffatt
and Captain Matson was appointed to
confer with r. p. Schwerin of the Pa
cifc Mail steamship company and en-
oeavor to get that line OF steamers to
make regular deliveries.
Advices from Major Bellinger of the
quartermaster's Office are that only
canned fruits in syrup will be pur-
chased in San Francisco. Major Kraut-
hon viii attend TO the purchasing.
Another meeting viii be held in the
rooms Of the chamber Of commerce.

tees report.

WIFE MAKES OFFER
OF $500 REWARD
Wants Information as to Pres
ent Whereabouts of
j. E. Eagan

A reward of 5000 has been offered for
information that will lead to the dis
covery of the whereabouts of James E.
Eagan, who disappeared Monday, July
6, 1908
Twenty-four hours more have passed
and those searching for the sales man
ager of the Burroughs Adding Machine
company, who dropped from sight so
suddenly, are still at a loss to account
for the strange disappearance of the
missing man. Until yesterday his wife
had hope of his returning. At noon
she decided to offer reward for infor
nation of his whereabouts.
A constant search has been continued
by the family and the police. AS the
byways in the park failed to disclose
the body of Eagan, it is now thought
he may have left the city or met death
in the waters of the bay.
With the offer of a reward was given
a description of Eagan. He is 3S years
old, 8 feet 9 inches in height and weighs
about 175 pounds. His eyes are grayish
blue, hair black with a tinge of gray.
There are incision marks on both sides
of his abdomen from a recent opera
ton, the direct cause of his i'll health,
which is thought to have caused him to
disappear.

Awaited Before Action Will
Be Taken

The tip is out that the Spring VAL
ley water company viii offer its plant
10 the city az a price below its former
tender Of $4,000 900. The directors
OF the company will not verify this re-
port, but it comes from a reliable
source. Any admissions on the part OF
the officials Of the company that they
intend TO cut down their price would
initiate against them in the present in
junction s1st.
The aAay has served a formal request
upon TIA ENE1ng Valley company for an
offer of sale. The proposition sub
mitted by the Spring Valley company,
together with proposal TO build the
Hetch Hetchy system. Will be placed
before the voters as soon as possible.
In view Of the popularity of the
Hetch Hetchy project it is stated that
the Spring Valley will reduce its figure.
The reduction viii not be a great one,
but it is limited that a proposition viii
be made TO sell to the city, Withholding
the Lake Merced rancho and other
lands, at figure in the neighborhood
OF $4,000, 900 or $27 600, 900.
REDUCTION OF MILLIONS
At the time the company offered the
whole plant for So, ,O00, 900 it sub

the Lake Merced lands and placing the
figure at s2S,000,O00 The reduction, it
is stated. viii range between s., 600, 900

1t is the purpose of the company TO
wait until the injunction suit has been
decided before making a tender to the
city The attorneys for the company
are confident that they will be granted
the restraining order as requested.
They are concerned, however, lest Judge
Harrington order that the status quo
prevail pending the determination OF a
petition for permanent injunction. In
the closing arguments, which will be
begun today, the cOmpany's attorneys
Will endeavor to persuade the judge
that he should allow the company To

company. He was accompanied by the
attorneys and engineers of both the
company and the city. Captain Payson

company will follow in the footsteps of
Spring Valley and will file suit next
week to enjoin the city from enforcing

A near slapping episode, with AS
sistant District Attorney Francis ]
Heney as the slapper and Ruef's police
court lawyer. A. S. Newburgh, as re-
ceiver of the slap, figured in the exam
ination of James L. Gallagher concern
ing Abe Ruefs connection with brib-
ing the supervisors in the Parkside
franchise case in Judge Cabaniss
court yesterday afternoon.
After interrupting Heney's eXamina-
tion of Gallagher with a mass of tech
nical objections which served to delay
proceedings, Newburgh aimed some
personal shafts at Heney. He referred
to the assistant district attorney on
several. occasions sneeringly as Mr.
Special Prosecutor Heney'' until Heney
was moved to reply. There's no
special prosecutor here" he said
warmly; there's an assistant district
attorney, duly qualified and appointed
and you can call him such"
TIL call him special prosecutor any
way" returned Newburgh.
I'll slap your face outside" retorted
Heney.
Newburgh's face tingled red and
white by turns.
"W-wen, c-c-come outside; Him
not a-afraid; I'm n-not afraid! he
cried.
Judge Cabaniss called for silence
but when he looked at Newburgh he
could not help smiling as he said:
Nobody accused you of being afraid.
Everybody in the courtroom laughed.
Heney returned to the affray with,
You'll have to prove it," but the court
sternly ordered both lawyers to be 81
lent
Gallagher, in the course of his testi-
mony, related the details of various
conversations he had had with Ruef in
cident to the Parkside franchise, at
one of which he said the boss had told
him to hold it back until we see what
these people can do" At another of
numerous conferences, Gallagher said,
Ruef authorized him to offer the super
visors $3.50 each for their votes and of
the offer being raised to 1000 each.
Gallagher said he had told this to
Supervisors Furey. Coleman, Phillips,
Davis and Nicholas among others, and
related the conversations he had had
with them. He told also of "organiz-
ing" the board of supervisors. and of
the appointment of committees at the
dictation of Ruef. His testimony was
also corroborative of that of former
Supervisor John Furey, who testified
Tuesday. Gallagher's direct examina-

her, beat her, moved all the furniture
out Of the house, took away all the keys
and warned the shop keepers that he

FEDERAL OFFICIALS
HUNT FOR CAPTAIN
Emile Francke Charged With
Fraud in Obtaining
Citizenship
Returns From South America to
Be St. Francis Guest, but
Is Always "Out"

The federal authorities are searching
for Captain Emile Francke, who was IN
command of the steamer Dakota, which
was sunk off the coast of Japan lit
tie more than two years ago. Captain
Francke is charged with having OBJ
tanned his naturalization papers fraud
ulently and officers of the federal gov
ernment have been looking for him
ever since he returned to San Fran
cisco from South America.
AS a result of the investigation held
by the steamboat inspectors into the
wreck of the new liner Dakota, which
was owned by the Great Northern
steamship company. Captain Francke's
license was revoked for Is months.
About six months ago Captain
Francke made application for a mas
ter's license, first class, to Inspector
John Birmingham. Francke's natural
izatton papers accompanied his petition
for license to the department at
Washington. When the officials ex-
amined his papers they discovered that
they Were fraudulent. and the federal
officials in this city were notified and
instructions were given for Francke's
arrest
1t is said that Captain Francke
learned that the naturalization office
had branded his citizenship papers as
fraudulent, and he left San Francisco
and went to South America. Francke
returned to this city few days ago
on the Norwegian vessel Hornelen and
registered at the st. Francis hotel. He
has not been in his room at the hotel
since he arrived here and the officers
who have been searching for him have
been unable to learn his present where
abouts. In all probability criminal
charges will be preferred
