Valentine Goody Was Attacked While on Her Way to School. Policeman William Cole-run Rescued the Child From the Savage Brute After a Hard Battle An owner is wanted by Police Sergeant Houghtaling for a vicious bull terrier, brought into the Central police station yesterday morning by Officer William Coleman. - If that unknown happens to be discov ered be will be furnished with one of the choicest cells in. the jail, and when re leased be will be allowed to give burial to the worthless carcass of the pet brute. The fellow's non-observance of a City ordinance prohibiting owners from allow ing dogs to roam at large resulted yester day in serious and most in fill injuries being inflicted upon little Miss Valentine Goody, the eight-year-old daughter of J. E. Goody of too cloak department in J. J. O'Brien's dry-goods house. But for the prompt action of Officer' Coleman the child would have been torn to pieces, perhaps killed, in the very pres ence of filty of her little classmates. She was within a few feet of the Hum boldt Primary School, on Golden Guie avenue, near Hyde street, shortly before 9 o'clock in the morning. The children were laughing and playing on their way to school, and the first they knew of the affair when the dog fastened his teeth in little Valentine Goody's left thigh and she shrieked in, agony as the beast shook her as he might have , shaken a rat. All the other children drew back in terror and ran. . ;-':.,..,"_ .•-.;.- • ."'••'.

Sergeant Houghtaling sent for the pound | wagon and yesterday afternoon the brute was lowered into the well whence ca canines never return a'ive. Little Valentine's injuries received im mediate dressing at the hands of the schoolteachers, and her father, who was sent for, removed her to her home at 1002 Golden Gate avenue, where the family physician took charge. This is the second time the child has been attacked by a dog. Last year in Los Angeles she was severely lacerated about tne face and ear by a savage pup, and yes terday's experience has almost frightened her out of her life. Policeman Coleman, who saved little Valentine, was bruised and scratched by the dog, but not to any serious extent. ' BEANSTON WITHDRAWS. "Will No Longer Contest for the Office of Secretary of the.

He called also on Auditor Brod erick yesterday and presented his demand for the balance d»ie him on his salary as secretary, which he refused at the time of his retirement to accept, because it might prejudice his case in any subsequent legal proceedings.

The Russian barkentine Behring is not going to spent any more money in this port than she can help. ,Her captain nav igated her from Vladivostock to Yoko hama at very small expense and managed to make this port without even engaging a pilot or a tug. On arriving last Sunday night he came to an anchor off Meiggs wharf, and when orders came to discbarge his small load' of coal and "trade" he tripped bis anchor, set sail and made his wharf. The sight of a barkentine making sail and proceeding up th« bay gave rise to much comment around Meiggs wharf. The Oceanic Steamship Company's Aus tralia got in from Honolulu yesterday at noon.

On March 2. he was in company with the vessel, and on tbat occasion there was not a stitch of canvas t" be seen except some furled sails on the main. | They had been in company for sev n days, and ..e last he saw of the Samaria was in latitude 46 deg. north, longitude 127 deg. west. At 3 p.m. the ship was forging ahead under her main topgallant sails, and about, s p. M. her fore upper and lower topsails were set. The next day the gale came up again, and the waves rolled up in all directions.. The Sailor Boy could not carry any canvas. The seas broke aboard from the east southeast, from the south and the west. Once in awhile the waves would break aboard from all three directions at once, and then there was trouble. The Sailor Boy weathered the storm, but Captain Peterson is afraid that she has gone. A request, made by tbe owners of the Sama ria, has been sent to Collector Wise, and the chances are that the revenue cutter Rush will be sent out to hunt. for the missing vessel. Governor Budd and Dr. Chalmers and Morse made an excursion around the bay yesterday. Tne general opinion was that tbe party was out for a pleasure trip, but the Stale officials asserted they were out on a visit of inspection. After looking the Governor Perkins over the party went for a merry trip around the bay. The ship St. Nicholas had a narrow escape yesterday from running into Howard-street wharf. Tbe '■' tugs - Sea Witch and Redmond had her in tow and in a critical moment the Tatter's line parted. The Sea Witch went full speed astern and checked the speed of the St. Nicholas.

'J ALL THE TROUBLE SETTLED AT LAST The Miller & Lux Properly Massed in a Great Corporation. It Is Capitalized on the Basis of Twelve Million Dollars. Henry Miller to Control Four-Sevenths of the Stock and Be tin President.. ■ '-. - ■ a' All the litigation over the great estate of Miller & Lux, which has attracted: such attention, has been settled, at last by the formation of a corporation, in which the heirs hold stock in proportion to their interests, or on a basis at least on which they have agreed. The value of the estate has been esti mated roughly in times past all the way from $2 000,000 to $20,0.0,000. The heirs, however, agreed that all the property should be sold to the corporation on the basis of $1,750,090. The company itself, however, is capitalized for $12,000,000. Henry Wilier will according to the ar rangement control four of the seven direc tors, thus riving him a majority of one. Putting it another way to simplify the matter as regards the various heirs, he .will control eight-fourteenths of the stock, the German heirs three-fourteenths and the other heirs three-fourteenths. The voluminous legal document setting forth the various points o the basis for the settlement says in part : The parties to the agreement are Henry Miller of the first part, of the second part, Henry -Lux, Philip Lux, Barbara Lux nry Roebing Sr., Henry Roebing Jr., Dorothy Pott, Henry. Lux as tbe adminis trator of the estate of Dorothy Roebing; Salome Lux Wolf, Caroline Lux, Michel Emit Lux," George Lux, Henry Lux, as guardian of the estates of Emit and George Lux (minors); Henry Lux as ad ministrator of the estate of George Lux, deceased, and Jesse 8. Potter as trustee under the will of Charles Lux, deceased, for the benefit of Henry Lux and- bis chil dren, C. H. Lux, Lenox Lux Mcßride and Lizzie M. Pott. '.r;.V^ The parties of the third part are Thomas li. Bishop and Agro N. Lewis, executors and trustees of the will of Miranda W. Lux. Th" party of the fourth part is Jesse S. Poller, executor of the will of Charles Lux, and the party of the fifth part is Jesse S. Potter, as the sole heir at law of Miranda W. Lux. The agreement is dated April 8, but was not signed by all the parties till yester day. The facts were given at Delmas & Bhorlridge's office last night. : There are numberless paraeraphs set ting forth tbe death of Lux; that he left a wife surviving him and lett a will; that tbe wife died in September, 1894, leaving a will, with a contest now pending, and that it is now proposed to settle that con test; that sinca Charles Lux's death Henry Miller has continued the business of the firm; that the property is very ex tensive and that it is located in Oregon, California and Nevada; that an account ing has been had, and it Is now agreed that in September, 18CG, there was "due from the partnership to Henry Miller $125,027 75, and that all parties now want to settle the business of the partnership, therefore they agree to the forming of a corporation according to the laws of Cali fornia under the name" of Miller & Lux and gradually disposing of the same most advantageously. The object immediately of the corpora tion is to raise livestock*, carry on a refrig erator, t* carry on any kind of manufac turing, borrow money, conduct a whole .ale and retail merchandise business, lay out towns, etc. The principal place of business is San Francisco and the term of the corporation is finy years. There are to be seven directors; the amount of capital stock $12,000,000. all of which is non-a*se.sable; that all proceeds shall be applied to debts. The profits shall be divi*i«-'l at least annually, except not to exceed $,50,000 to meet future expenses. Henry Miller, as one of the directors, shall subscribe for two shares of stock and three other directors to be named by him shall each subscribe for two shares. . Mr. Miller, so long as he is able, . shall be president and general manager and shall not receive over, $25,000 per annum as compenstion. *• . ' _ The agreement also provides- that the corporation shall lease from rienry Miller the Bloom farm of 12,000 acres at $2 per annum, the Lfgla and Lewis places or over 2000 acres at $550 per ami urn. While the amount of the capital stock of the corporation shall be 12,000,000 it shall be diridsd into 120,000 shares of the par value of $100 each.
