s
place tho stock of a mining company
with ease in London. So the deal was
made and burnap was to receivo the first
160,000 received from the saus of stock.
BURNAP MAKES A DEED
Bnrnan then deedea tbe three-fourths
interest in ihe mines to Price and
Pinther. Price forwarded the dead to Ihe
San Bernardino county recorder to have
it placed on record, but he failed to en
close tho money with which to pay the
recorder's fees, and the deed was return
ed to him here.
When the deed came back Price hypo
thecated it to a Second street liveryman
named Moat for $lil.T">. Of tbis troneac
tion Pinther claims he bad no knowledge
at cbe time it occurred.
Mr. Moat placed the deed in tne bands
of bis attorney, U. S. House. Mr. liur
nap, hearing that his deed was "in
soak," looked it up and found it in tbe
possession of House. He became con
vinred that be was being fraudulently
dealt with. So he made a tender of
$16.75 for tbe deed. It being tbe amount
tor which it was hypothecated, the ten
der was accepted and Mr. Burnap got bis
deed.
But Lawyer House was foxy. Before
giving up the deed be made a certified
copy of it. He really had no right to
Bive the deed to Burnup lor the $16.75.
There is a state law that prescribes how
hypothecatea property shall De disposed
of. It must bo advertised and the party
who pawned it notified before it can be
sold. This law was not complied with
and the for the failure the parties aro
liable for damages.
A REVELATION FOR PINTHER
Fintber claims that after Burnap get
possession of bis deed be learned about
its being "in hoc" for the tirst time. Then
he went to House and bought the certi
fied copy of him. Then Pinther claims
tbat he tendered to liurnap $20 for the
original deed. This Burnap denies. He
cays, though, that the money was tender
ed to his wife. Pinther then had the
cortified copy placed on record at San Ber
nardino.
In the meantime the Pirtner. Pried,
Bitmap Consolidated Mining and Mill
ing company had filed its articles of in
corporation with the county clerk. Tbe
oojpitnl Btock was $2,000,000 and the stock
holders are: J. C. C. Price, 51.600 shares;
Theo. Pinther, 44,200 shares; J. W. Gong,
10,000 shares; D. P. Sioner, 44,200 shares:
Joy Burnap. 50,000 shares.
In the articles of incorporation it is
slated that the purpose for which the
corporation is formed is "to buy, sell,
lease, mortgage, hypothecate, develop,
work, prospect and locate mines." Thus
far the principal busines dove has been
to hypothecate and to work—people, not
mines. About this time tho papers an
nounced this transacti.n as a big thing,
and in an interview "Dr.* Price claimed
tbst;the capital stock had been entirely
paid in. As a matter of fact, not a sou
xnarkee bad been put up.
Tbe stockholders held a meeting to or
ganize. Burnap was invited but he de
clined to attend. So Pinther war elected
president, Price secrstary and Stoner
treasurer.
A SMALL BORROW MADE.
In the meantime Price and his col
leagues had to borrow some money.
This was difficult. Finally a party was
found, though, who was susceptible to
tbe smooth Price. It was Miss Josie Sul
livan, a seamstress. She loaned the $2,
--000,000 syndicate $170 receiving $1500
wortb of stock of the Pacihc Beach Hotel
company iof San Diego as collateral se
curity. This Price claimed to be worth
$600."
After awhile Miss Sullivan became con
vinced that the stock was worthless.
She upbraided "Prof." Stoner who is a
phrenologist by trade but wbo is not
now working at his trade. The "pro
fessor" said tbat the loan was a good one
and she made it upon bis recommenda
tion. Tbe "professor" assured ber tbat
the hotel stock had a cash value. So sbe
gave it to Ihe "professor" to sell.
Instead of selling it though tbe "pro
fessor" turned it over to "Dr." Price.
Th c genial doctor was not at a loss wbst
to do witb it. He took it down into Or
ange cotioty and disposed ot it for a ouuch
of forty mustangs. 'Ihete he brought to
Los Aigeles. They were broken and sold,
but Josie Sullivan never received a dol
lar. Sbe would like to see tbe color of
ber $170.
To the editor of The Herald Pinther
and "Prof." Stoner have sent tbe fol
lowing statement:
PINTHEB AND STONER.
"Replying to an article in this morn
ing's Hsrald, I wish to make a few cor
rections of the statements of one J. Bur
nap concerning J C. C. Price and myself.
First. J. Burnap came to us repeatedly
for tne purpose of selling bis tine-, i In
the Sth day of April laat we closed a deal
with him, purchasing a tbree-fourths in
terest in a group of mines owned by him
in the Holcomb valley and received a
deed for tbe same. This deed was duly
recorded on September 3, 1895, in deed
boos 217, page 162, records ol San Ber
nardino county. The consideration in
tbe deed is uuly receipted for. On the
same day of execution of said oeed, J.
Burnap, J. C. C. Price and Theodore
Pinther entered into a written contract
With the following terms in brief:
"Pinther and Price were to form a cor
poration to develop the mines and sell
stock of the same, and when said sales
leached the sum of $50,000 tne
was lo be turned over to said Burnap.
So it appears that not a dollar is now
doe Mr. Burnap as an examination of the
aforementioned contract will show. The
company lias two years' time to fulfill
tho above-mentioned terms of the con
tract. The corporation was foimed an I
articles tiled witn the county clerk and
secretary of Mate and J. Burnap juined
in tbese articles of corporation, and lias
one-fourth of the capital stock, as an ex
amination of the articles will show.
"The corporation is now negotiating
Witli an ninglisii syndicate who" propose
to put in all needed capital. The com
pany invites tbo closest scrutiny on ihe
legitimacy of their methods, and ure
ready to show documents to establish Ihe
foregoing statement. Though not obliged
by the terms of tbe deed and contract,
Ihe members of the Pinther, Price com
£»ny have made many cash advances io
lr. Burnap. The Pintncr ci Price com
pany bave bonds on a number of mines
in the desert with whicb Mr. Burnap lias
no connection. Deeds, bonds, etc., are
open for : nspection. The members of said
company have invested much lime and
money in acquiring their present assets.
Mr. J. C. C. Prioe, the secretary of the
company,is at present attending the state
miner.-' convention in San Francisco,
Whole he represents the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce."
This document is sitrned by Pinther as
E resident and "Prof." Stoner as secre
iry.
A FEW ERRORS.
When Pinther and Stoner state that
*he deed Burnap gave them ia on file in
Take

at the
Cracker
Jack
the New 5-cent
Cigar
'm- -' —■• • ■
the recorder's office at San Bernardino
tney state an untruth, for the certified
copy alone is on tile. As to its legality
tbers is a question aud a scrutiny of the
methods ot this company has beon made
by. -r K » i'V-ruld, reuslting in the facts
brought out above. As to tho money
paid Burnap, ho says that ne received all
told not to exceed $6 or $8, receipt of
which be acknowledges. That the mem
bers of tha company have invested much
time in acuiiring their present aastts
there is no doubt* Furthermore. "Dr."
J. C. C. Price Is no longer representing
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce
in tbe Stale Mineis' convention.
In an interview witli a Herald repre
sentative Pinther said that Price had
lold him that he was the son oi a director
of the Bank of England, but be had
never investigated to find out. "Prof.*'
Stoner says that Price never claimed
sucb a relationship but did assert that
he was a nephew of Sir Thomas Ellerby.
The professor further claims that the
reason Miss Josie Sullivan got no money
from the sale of the forty mustangs was
because tho combination lost money on
the der.l. Then when Josie howled for
security for her $170 they gave her a
mortgage on a farm somewhere.
Both Price and Pinther have bad a queor
experience. I'rice was an agent of the
Hermitage Vineyard company of this
city. Ho was arrested by them on a
charge oi embezzlement. His lawyer
got him otf on a technicality. This at
torney, when seen by a Herald respre
sentattve, state! tnat he was now con
vinced that they (meaning Price and Pin
tbsr) hadjrichly earned the exposure they
are receiving. Frank T. Rimpau.the drug
gist, assisted "Dr." Price out of liis
trouble, and now regrets th* fact, lor he
is out the money he advanced. Piutber
served ninety days in the San Bernar
dino county jail for writing Judge
Otis ol that county a threatening letter
during the time the Coxey ar>-jy craze
was on.
OTHER MISREPRESENTATIONS.
"Dr." Price has made representations
to parties all over Southern California
that a number of leuding capitalists were
either interested with him or about to
interest themselves in his mining prop
ositions. Aa far as these statements
have been investigated there is not one
word ot truth in them.
This exposure is made for the protec
tion of the legitimate mining deals that
are on and may in the future develop
m Southern California. Legitimate en
terprises should be fostered and aided.
The Herald will see to it that fraud is
uncovered wnerever it can be discovered.
JACOB NEFF IS PRESIDENT
No Controversy Excited by Report on
Mining Lands
The nincrs Favor the Camlnettl Law an !
See No Objection to Continuing
Hydraulic Mining
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IS.—All of the
officers of the California Miners' associ
ation for tho coming year were elected
today by acclamation at the convention
in Pioneer hall, 'lhey are:
Jacob H. Neff of Placer county, presi
dent; Samuel K. Thornton of San Fran
cisco, vice-president; Julian Sonntae of
San Francisco, secretary; W. W.Mon
tague of San Francisco, treasurer.
Neff. who has been president ever since
the Miners' association was formed three
years ago, was proposed for re-election
by Ames of Placer. Sberwood of Yuba,
in seconding the nomination, said tbat
tbe people of his county are in favor of
tbe Caminetti law and see no reason why
hydraulic mining should not be carried
on under it. The association should con-
tinuo tj have at its head a man who is in
thorough accord with the hydraulic as
well as other miners. Grant I. Taggart
of Oakland also seconded Neff,
The report of tho mineral lands com
mittee excited none of tbe controversy
which was feared would grow out of it
because ot complaint from the Nevada
county delegation tbat not enough atten
tion had been given ,o the subject of hy
draulic mining, in which Nevada cuunty
is so much interested.
Even the reading of W. H. Mills' last
letter to the mineral land committee,
which tbo delegation from Nevada coun
ty called for, tbe same not having been
incorporated in the committee's report
because it had been received too lale for
that report, drew forth no comments. It
was on this report that the opposition to
the work which the committee had in
hand that the committee was expected to
manifest its-lf. and under the plea that
the segregation n the mineral lands
should be left by Ihe association entirely
to tbe government, a vigorous attempt
would be made to switch off the conven
tion or to create such dissension in its
ranks as would bo tbe means of disrupt
ing it; and then the alienation and ab
sorption of the mineral lands of the
state could be renewed without interler
ence and te continuod indefinitely.
ANTI'DEBRIS ASSOCIATION
Preparations for Winter Wcrk by the
Hydraulic Miners
The Association Is Opposed to the Erection by
the Government of Dams in Cal
ifornia Streams
SAC P. AMEN ro, Oct. 15.-The execu
tive committee of tlie State Anti-Debris
association mc l at the supervisors' rooms
today, Supervisor Johnstone in the chair.
The usual business w*s transacted,
among which the manager's report
showed that, witli the exception of the
Cosumnes river, the Streams are in very
fair condition, but a good deal of prepa
ration is being made for the coming win
ter's work by certain hydraulic miners.
The work being done at Michigan bar
is responsible for the bad condition of
the Coscmnes river, and it is tho opinion
of the committee that such work ought
to be prevented.
The report shows that Valentine's rock
dam. in Shasta county, built last year
under perruil, had been carried away by
high water, with all tbe debris tbat bad
been placed behind it, being another of
tbe many dams that have proved inetti
ci"nt.
Robert T. Devlin, attorney for the as
sociation, made a report as to the status
of pending investigation in whicb the
association is engaged, and submitted a
letter for approval to be addressed to Con
gressman Grove 1,. Johnson as embody
ing the views of the association.
He says in tho letter that tbe associa
tion favors the improvement of the rivers
nnd that tlie nation is in duty bound to
protect and improve the waterways. Mr.
Devlin tells the congressman thai tbe as
sociation is opposed to the erection of
dams by the government in the streams
of California. '

LITTLE KOCK, Ark., Oct. l.\-Gov
criiDr Clarke's determination to stop the
Corbeit-Fitzsimmoiis contest at any cost
was emphasized today hy tlio presence In
this city of General Taylor ol Forest
City, brigadier-general of the Arkansas
state guards, who was summoned to the
capital by telegraph to canter with the
governor in regard to the strength of tbe
state militia. General Taylor was in
conference witb Governor Clarke for one
hour this morning, and when seen later
by a reporter was preparing to take the
afternoon train for Hot Springs.
General Taylor said positively that the
fight would not occur. His purpose in
going to Hot Springs, he said, was to
warn the people there against the danger
to which they would subject themselves
should any attempt bo made to bring
the contest off. Tbe slate guard, General
Taylor said, was in good condition and
amply sufficient to cope with the case in
hand. He could, he said, with a few
hours' notice, land 850 well drilled and
fully equipped men in Hot Springs.
General laylor wiil return to tnis city
tomorrow and advise Governor Clarke as
to the situation at Hot Springs and the
result of his visit ihern.
Governor Clarke, when questioned by
an Associated Press repie sentotivo in
reference to his consultation with Gener
al Taylor, was not disposed to talk.
Asked if he had confidence in the ability
of the state guard to carry out bis plans,
he said that the militia was a maitsr of
secondary consideration, that ho could
get all the lvro necessary outside the
militia companies. Ho reiterated his
former declaration that the tight would
not be permitted to take place, and in
this oonneoiton said lie could niaKo no
distinction between a prize light and a
glove contest.
"Suppose, Governor Ciaike, "suggested
the reporter, "Corbett and Fitzsimmons
should desire to give an exhibition of
physical culture in Hot Springs on Oc
tober 81st, in wbich large, soft gloves
were to lie used, would that also be
stopped by military force?"
"Corbett ond Fitzsimmons thall not
meet in Hot Springs in sny kind of n
contest," said Governor Clarke, em
phalically. "If they ever meet they will
right, and they shall not fight in Arkan
sas. They shall not meet in Hot Springs
eititer in or out of a ring. They shall
not even shako hands."
When asked if Corbett would bo ar
rested upon his arrival at Hot Springs,
Governor Clarke said that a good general
never disclosed his plans to the enemy.
Information came from a private source
today that the Florida Athletic club is
considering a plan by which they hope
to overcome tbe obstacles placsd before
tbem by Governor Clarke. The scheme is
to turn" the whole affair over to the Hot
Springs Athletic association. That asso
ciation was incorporated by the stats of
Arkansas on September 19. 1895, by W.
L. Babcock, J. C. Lonsdale ana O. H.
Weaevr, all of Hot Springs. According
to Its charter the Hot Springs Atnlntic
Club association was oragnized for the
purpose of "carrying on the huslnesn of
maintaining a park or place of recreation
in or near tbe city of Hot Springs where
races, atbietic sports and games could be
practiced and exhibited, and meann of
entertainment furnished either to tbe
public or by sucb persons or associations
as may from time to time be admitted
thereto.''
Under this charter the people interested
believe lhey can conduct a boxing mutch
limited to a specified number of rounds
with soft gloves without violating any
state law.
When informed of this scheme Gov
ernor Clarke stated that ths state char
tered corporations and associations for
legal purposes only, and that no viola
tion of the law would be tolerated under
the guise of amusement.
He was r.ot prepared, however, to sttito
just what legal effect the proposed change
would have.
LAREDO, Tex,, Oct. 15.—The Mexican
consul in this city, i,ameiU ilinz, said to
day that President Diaz would never con
sent to allow the Coihett Fiztimmons
light in Mexico, and owing to the good
will of tbe people towards tho president
thoy would not participate in anything
to meet bis disapproval. A representative
oi the Associated Press was shown an
official dispatch from the Mexican capital
which authorizes the consul hero to slate
that the tight should not occur on Mexi
can soil.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 15.—James Mc-
Donald, the Denver sporting man, and
bis associates, who have been arranging
to bring off he Corbett-Fitzsimmons light
here, have secured what they desire, and
will tonight telegraph Julian and Brady
and also President Stuart of the Florida
Athletic club a guarantee of $30,000 lor
the tight. They also guarantee that thu
light can be pulled off on the island in
the middle of the Missouri river without
tnierfernee.
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 15.-Steve Brndie,
who has been ploying in this city, receiv
ed a dispatch tonight savins tie hod been
chosen referee in the Corbctt-Fitznnmons
fight, which will occur wben a place can
be found where the mill can be pulled
off. Urodie was one of the six men who
were uioler cosideration for referee by the
Florida Athletic club. He is a warm
friend of both of the pugilists and was
chosen as tho b.>st man to referee tlio
fight. Brodie said: ''If the authorities
at Hot Springs interfere, the buttle
ground will be relocated on the island
in tbe Missouri river near St. Joseph and
will be pulled off to a dead certainty.
However, 1 expect to rcft-iee the fight at
Hot Springs,"
TEXAHK AN A, Arlc., Oct. lS.—Chaiu
pion James J. Corbett ,iassod through
Texarkana this afternoon en route to
Hot Springs. About iJOO people were at
the depot to get a glimpse of Corbett.
They were disappointed, however, as
Corbett remained closeted in the sleeper
and did not show himself. A icporter
went in, and being personally acquaint
ed with the champion, obtained an au
dience. Corbett looked like a gladiator
and says he feels able to vanquish Fitz
simmons without unuthcr day's train
ing.
"I nm disgusted with |the business,"
lie said. "I am losing valuable time and
don't believe we will iiiht in Hot
Springs. I am point: there on orders,
but I don't fancy the move."
The reporter asked nim if he would
fight Fitzsimmons privately and with
out a nurse.
"I'll fight him for fun. Fitzsimmons
is doing a lot of blowing and is running
a big bluff. He can easily afford to malic
wild statements when he has everything
to gain and nothing to lose, while I have
everything to lose and scarcely anything
to gain. If tbe fight has to he pulled off

Case Has Cost

ness ofjAttorncy Deuprey, leading coun
sel for the defense. While the prosecu

very reluctant about giving lns consent,
and announced that the trial would be
resumed noxt Monday whether Mr. Deu
prey should have recovered in the mean
time or not. Mr. Deuprey is suffering
from a severe attack of rheumatism,
which has made it impossible for him to
attp.nd tbe trial for several (lays, but iiis
physicians believe ho will ho able to re
sume his duties next week.
The cost of the Durrant trial to the
city and county is an item of no small
interest. Roughly estimated,the case has,
since July 22d up tn date, drained the
treasury to the extent of nearly ftiOOO. The
salary list of the court olficirfls and pros
ecutors forms the chief item of expense.
Judge Murphy, for instance, has drawn
for his service just $1 less than $1000.
Then comes District Attorney Barnes,
who draws a salary of $410 per month,
with a bill of $1248. Asistunt District. At
torney PeiXOttO'l services have cost IfSUO.

$175 a month, $525. and his nssistant,
Andrew Branch, $225. There aro six dep
uty sheriffs in attendance at tho trial,
each drawing $tou a month, thus making
a total of $1800 a month lo be added to
the expense account. Captain Lees has
drawn $400 from the treasury for the part
lie lias taken in the trial, and Detectives
Seymour nnd Boneu havu been paid $7!!5
each. Aside from tne salary list there

SHE NEARLY DRUGGED HIM
A San Bernardino Man Loses Valuable
Articles
Kate Delahanty Arrested and Confesses to
Having Robbed Him-She Lives Witb
a Tough Character—The Story
Kate Delahauty was arrested yesterday
for having robbed a visitor at her rooms
in the Denver lodging house on North
Main street, A watch and chain were
found on her and she confessed to hav
ing tt'. ken them from the man, but claim
ed it was not for tiu purpose of retain
ing tbem.
Tbis visitor is a prominent olßcial from
San Bernardino county, and be called
upon the woman late Monday night and
desired to remain until mornng. Sno
wanted something to drink, aud he pur
chased beer. She drugged it and wblle
ho was lying in a drowsy state on the
bed, she took money, jewelry and checks
from his clothes.
Tbe theft was reported to tbe police,
who succeeded in recovering tome of the
things.
This Delahanty is the same woman who
was terribly beaten oy her paramour In
the Millard block some weeks ago. Her
body was black nnd bluo from the shoul
ders to the knees and siie was unable to
move for several days. To tho police
officer rhe said that her husband had
jumped noon and kicked Iter. Sho, as
well as ono of tbe people interested in
tlie lodging house, agreed to swear to ti
complaint against her husband, hut failod
to do so. It appears that the woman has
in ber possession certain newspaper
clippings that prove her alleged hus
band, George Delahanty, to have been a
double murderer. Tbe names of tho men
he killed are Fitz Patrick and Caserei,
and the crimes were done in tbe north
ern part of tho state. Ho was acquittod,
however, in each case.
Sho claimed the beating had been in
flicted by her husband, and they were
from Washington. The man, however,
is not bit husband, as was shown yes
terday at the Denver, where they have
been living for some days past. He said
that she was not bis wife. Her
room will be searched and probably some
more stolen articles will be recovered.
