GOLD SHOWERS ON

Bag Bursts Containing $1,000
for Payment OF Troop
ers' Salaries

The bursting of a bag containing
$1,000 of Uncle Sans money scattered
a golden shower at the transport dock
yesterday. Captain C. e. Morton, the
paymaster in charge. Immediately
whipped out his revolver. and for the
first time in the history of San Fran
cisco there was presented the unique
sight of the federal government emu
lating. the strong arm man-in collect
ing money at the point Of gun.
The money was for the salaries of
the troopers OF the Thirteenth cavalry
who were sailing on the transport Lo-
gan. Captain Morton's original inten-
tion was to pay the men in the quar-
termasters office. but. at the last mo-
ment, he was ordered by Colonel Bel
linger TO take the gold on board ship
and there pay the troopers. whereupon
the pay clerks began dumping the
sacks of coin into big canvas bag, but
when filled and lifted from the table
it. ripped in two and there was a
merry jingle OF gold pieces of every
size rolling about the dock.
There was a happy desire from all
around to chase the elusive coins. but
Captain Morton. with his drawn revol-
yer, kept off everybody except his force
of clerks. A large amount of the
coin found its way into a cuspidor. but
there was no whisper of tainted money
! as it was fshed out.
