SCRAMBLING FOR FREEMAN'S GOLD Two Persons Petition for Letters of Ad ministration. Miss Lee of Sausalito Will Produce a Will in Her Favor. The Dead Man's Account- Books and Daeds Disappear With His Diamonds. SAN RAFAEL, Cal., June 2L-The scene of the squabble lor the property of the late Dr. Richard Thomas Freeman, who died last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. A. D. Bell, has been transferred from Sausalito to the county seat, and the courts have now been appealed to. Public Administrator E iward Eden filed in the County Clerk's office at 9 o'ciock to-day a petition for special letters of administra tion on the estate of Dr. Freeman. The petition set forth that no application of any Kind had been filed for the probate of the last will of the deceased, or for letters of ad ministration, and that the property would suffer for want of an administrator. The petition stated that Dr. Freeman left no heirs-at-Jaw in California. Jennie Lee, the niece of Mrs. Bell and one of the women who claim that the doctor was engaged to marry them, filed a petition at 10 o'clock for special letters of administration. She set 3 forth tbai Dr. Freeman was a widower and left no father, mother or issue surviving. She asserts that on the 31st of December, 1&95, she tiled in the office of tne County Clerk a will made by Dr. Freeman in her favor, and that the will is now in tbe custody of Clerk Bonneau. Judge Carroll Cook of San Francisco, who is occupying tbe Superior bench during Judge An gellotti's absence, listened to tbe applications this morning, but pu. the proceedings over until next Monday so thai the will in the County Clerk's big safe can be pioduced. It has been learned that the will alleged by Jennie Lee to have been made by tbe doctor in her favor was drawn up by Re corder Joseph H. Pryor of Sausalito, at tne instance of Dr. Freeman. Yesterday Edward Eaen, Marin County's Coroner and Public Administra tor, together with District Attorney E. B. Martinelli, made a thorough examination of the effects of Dr. Freeman, but found no wiU. The investigation was not with out results. The officials failed to find the book of account kept by the doctor for a record of his property in Africa. This, together with the mysterious disappear ance of the costly diamonds, adds mucn to the interesting features of tbe case. In reply to" questions as to where she thought the diamonds were Mrs. Bell said that sue was of the opinion that Dr. Free man sent them to England. Tne official* do not believe this and say that Mrs. Bell could tell more about tbe diamonds if she would. She was searched, as was her home, bin no trace of the missing gems could be found. Mrs. Bell is very indignant over the methods employed by the officers while searching her residence. She declares thai beds were tumbled apart, mattresses torn up and pictures pulled down. Fail ing in their efforts to locate the mytuical gems. Mm. Bell states, she was forced by tne officials, under threat o! going to jail, to disrobe in order that further search might be made, and she says that her niece. Miss Lee, was subjected to the grossest indignities by these officers of the law, who threatened and forced her into allowing a most disgraceful search of her person. Mrs. Bell threatens to begin a •>uit for damages. ROMANCE OF STOCKTON. E ghteen-Year-Old Eddie Fisher and H s Sweetheart Believed to Have Eloped on a Bicycle. STOCKTON, Cat,., June 21.— Has Eddie Fisher eloped? is the question that Jacob Fisher and nis wife would like to have an swered.

Young Fisher was a good piano-player, and his inamorata was wont to ride by the house when be was at the keys, waving her strawberry locks to the tune of his melody and smiling as one entranced. Since young Fisher s disappearance she has not been seen by the young man's friends, and they believe that she accom panied him oa her "bike." He is known to have cone to j.,odi on a rented wheel. There Sheriff Cunningham met him and gave him a good talking to, and it is said that Fislier rode back to town and re turned the wheel. Fisher did not go home, however, and when his rarents beard of him again be was at Lathrop. His father went after birn to bring him back, but when he reached Lathrop his son had left there.

PORTLAND, Ob., June 21.— The base ment and entire lower portion of the pos;ofiice building was wrecked by a ter rific explosion of gas at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon. Moloney, the head janitor of the Federal building, had a narrow es cape from death. He was severely burned about the head and arms. William Cariyle, a clerk in the stamp department, was the only other person hurt. He re ceived a painful scalp wound from falling: debris. Heavy damage was done to the building, and in every departmant the bhock threw the employes into great con fusion. Moloney'o escape from death is almost past understanding. For hours this morning it was noticed that there was a strong odor of gas about i he Federal building. Two or three times was the fact reported, the last time at about a half hour before the explosion oc curred, when the odor became so power lui that Superintendent Whitehouse and his assistants in the money order depart ment were almost overpowered by it. Word was sent to a plumber's shoD at about noon, but no one had come to rem edr the trouble. Wiien Janitor Moloney came hack from his dinner he was informed that there was gas escaping in the basement. He went into the janitor's room and lighted the jet and me explosion occurred. It is singularly fortunate that it was a dull time of day at the postoffice building. It being about the noon hour, the corri dors were almost descried, or there would have been numerous injuries. The floor ing was torn up and huge chunks of plas tering were knocked from the ceiling and the walls. The United btates mails were not damaged. T lie walks about the build ing, th ■ corridors and the steps were lit tered with shattered bits of glass. The concussion was heard over the en tire city. A second later great clouds of dust from the demolished plastering ob scured the hallways, and as hundreds of excited people rushed to the scene, the cry was s-e; up that a dozen people ware in the corridor at the time and had been killed.

Mrs. Soper at once turned tbe letter over to Coroner Koehler. The distracted woman begged that she be allowed to ac company the Coroner when that official prepared to make a search for tbe re mains, but out of pure humanity her re quest was refused.

PX.A.XXSD 1O KILL A TVRSKEJ. Jail- Delivery Fruntratrd by the Tigi- ! lance of a Keeper. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 21.— Another attempt of prisoners to break out of the County Jail was frustrated last night by the vigilance of the turnkey, who had been marked for slaughter. Three prisoners laid their dans to escape by making a rush on Turnkey Smith, and after killing him freeing themselves by means of bis keys. Bisiamo. under a ten years' sentence to San Quentin for cattle stealing; Ruiz, held for assault, and a petty larceny thief named Wilson, were all desperate enough to commit murder in furtherance of their scheme. The Sheriff had received an intimation tnat some such plot was being hitched, and a search was made a Jew nignis ago, to no avail. Last night another search, whicti afterward proved to have been made at about the time the prisoners had set for their rush, rewarded the officers. On the person of Wilson was found a knife with which he was to kill the turn key. One of the schemer? was to pretend to be very ill and to make a noise that would induce the turnkey to cocje into his cell. Then Smith's throat was to have been cut, the keys taken away from him and a rush made for liberty. The man fell sick all right, but learning that pre cautions had been taken he weakened and the plot was abandoned. AFTER Mt-XiCAN TRADE. Lot Angele* Suttnetn Men Talk of a Competing Boat Line. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 21.— At a meeting of the Merchants' ana Manu facturers' Association this evening, action was taken toward advancing this city's commercial relations with Mexico.

Senator B. Salazar of Chihuahua, Jarae-r Moorkens, a merchant of Ensenada, and a number of local business men made brief addressee, the tenor of all being the necessity of overcoming the differentia! freight rates enjoyed to advantage by San Francisco.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1897. FRESNO FIREBUG TENANTS A CELL Caught in an Attempt to Destroy a Large Hotel. The Culprit a Wayward Son of a Prominent Man of Affairs. While Intoxicated He Starts Three Blazes Under the Pleasanton House. FRESNO, Cal., June 21.— Walter Fur nish, son of W. F. Furnish, a prominent business man of this city, was caught in the act of attempting to set the Pleasan ton Hotel on fire this morning, about 2 o'clock. The hotel is a large three-story brick structure, located at the corner of Merced and I streets. Young Furnish applied a match to some dried grass im mediately adjoining a frame annex to the hotel, and, had the blaze not been discov ered, a disastrous conflagration would probably nave requited. George B. Landrum, a young man em ployed at Madarv's planing mill, was the one who caught the firebug. Landrum, while walking alone I street on his way home, noticed a mau steal up to the hotel annex. The fire riend stooped to the ground, deliberately lighted a match and set the grass ablaze, after which he ran to a spot a short distance away. There he stopped ana looked back. The fire died out. The firebug returned and applied another match. He scurried away the second time, but the blaze went out. Furnish returned the third time and succeeded in starting a fire which quickly blazed up dangerously. He ttien turned and ran, coming directly toward Lan drum. Without any difficulty Landrum stopped him. He then compelled the firebug to take off his coat and accom pany him back to the blaze and beat it out. This was done after some vigorous work. Landrum intended to take bis captive to jail, but furnish began to beg. He de clared that ne would not be concerned because of his own predicament, but it would pain him very much to have his sick mother and little sisters suffer tne disgrace he would bring to the family. Landrum relented and let the fellow go. Later he reconsidered the matter and fwore out a warrant for Furnisb's arrest. The young man was found at his home by Deputy Sueriff Timmins and Deputy Constable Henry. Furnish had been drinking all nisrht and was intoxicated when he attempted arson. His cnly explanation to Landrum was that he wanted to see the fire depart ment turn out The prisoner is about 23 years of age and hasled a wild career, notwithstanding the efforts of his parents to reform him. He has been arrested a number of times before lor petty offenses. TO DEVELOP PICACHO MIMES. Ex- Senator Dorse y Interests a Powerful London Syndicate in Arizona Property. PHCENiX, Ariz., June 21.— 1t is stated now as a settled lact, and apparently upon the best of authority, that ex-rienator S. W. Dorsey baa succeeded in organizing iit London a gigantic syndicate of capitalists to handle his Picacbo mining properties. These are located fire miles south of the Colorado Rver in the Picacho Basin, and they constitute what is said to be about the biggest mining proposition in the United States. It comprises thirty full claims that lie almost parallel for a length of one mile, with a width averaging three-quarters of a mile. A number of parallel ledges ex tend through all ihe claims, the veins be ing from 20 feet to 600 leet wide. At the time that ex-Senator Dorsey went to work on the property nothing had been done on any of the claims except the as sessment work of several years on the four patented claims known a- the Neahr mines-. These were developed to a depth of 240 f«»et and belonged to Dr. Jayne. Tney were purchased by Dorsey for $250,000. Alter a careful examination by the Den ver expert, William Farish, the neighbor ing twenty-six claims were purchased by Dorsey from various owners, among whom were Colonel Ailen, Joseph Mendivil, Wil liam Swaine, Frank Guerra, Cyrus Wheeler and Allen J. Smith. The purchase price aggregated some ih ing over $350,000. Dorsey at once proceeded to develop the whole group and secure a paten; on it, and when this work was completed be went to London to secure the necessary capital foi the erection of a 100-stamp mill and the construction of a railroad from the mines to the river. It is declared now that he has raised all the money essential 10 work the property to its full capacity, and the mill and the railroad will be under construction within a few weeks. While a 100-9 tamp mill will be erected first it is the intention to increase the milling ca pacity as rapidly as possible up to 400 stamps. A'O DAMAGE Al » A If, O-V V l l 1 f ■;.

BATTLE WITH TWO SHARKS. Crew of a Seati/e HaJ but Schooner Nar- row.f Escapes Death Off Ccps Flaitery. SEATTLE, Wash., June 21.— The crew of the halibut schooner Annie, Captain Martin Olsen, had a desperate battle with two sharks on the last trip to the Cape Flattery fishing banks. The Annie put out her dories at the southwestern banks on Sunday morning, a week ago. The ?ea was running high, ana to an inexpe rienced person it would have appeared a very seasonable time to seek the shelter of a harbor. The daring Norwegian cap tain div not see it in that light. He was willing to return, but he wanted to bring a few fish along, and be found the halibut so plentiful that in a very few hours the Annie had a cargo of 10,000 pounds in spite of the weather. Just as the captain and the man who was with him in his dory were pulling into the schooner witn their last load the ♦•ncounter with the sharks occurred. They were only a few boat |lengths away from the schooner and the halibut line, with about 150 baited hooks, most of which held fine halibut, was being hauled in. The men knew from the weight that they bad a shark, which bad got caught by swallowing one of the hooked halibut; but it booh transpired that they had two. Being drawn into rather close quarters, the monsters became desperate and began to shoot into the air, first one and then the other. They looked like two sawlogs that were being tossed about in an im mense whirlpool of a Columbia River flood. Neither tish was less than eighteen feet long, which is about the leng; h of the dory in which the men were riding. The maddened sharks would first shoot clear of the surface then dive down. Had they pulled together in any certain direc tion they would have swamped the dory. Trie captain, seeing it would be folly to try to land the sharks, whipped out his knife and cat the line, freeing the mon sters, halibut and all. The bridled run aways, tethered together, are now plow ing the briny deep off Flattery or the Van couver coast, probably giving a fine sub marine performance for the benefit of a large audience of sea denizens, great, small and indifferent.

Informed of Her Good Fortune While In a Seattle Home for the Friendless. SEATTLE, Wash., Jane 21.— A half breed Indian girl, who for several months has been trying »o support herself by making dresses, but finally had to give it up as a bad job and enter Mrs. Ryther's home for the friendless, received the news at police headquarters this morning that she is heiress to property in Everett, tnls btate, valued at $100,000. The girl is Em ma Kromer. Her brother Victor died yesterday morning in the Case Hospital at nobomish. Her guardian did not know where she wai, and telephoned to the police to find her. They located her with Mrs. Ryther and this morning Cap tain Sullivan told her of the brother's death and the money that is coming to her. Kromer, the father of the children, was a business man in Boston, Mass., being a member of one of the largest shoe firms in thai city. Through a misunderstanding, family trouble and fear of disgrace, be came West and located on 160 acres of land on Port Gardner Bay, tne site of the present town of Everett. He built the first house in that vicinity and it is still standing. After a few years of lonely life on the ranch lie followed the example of many other pioneers and courted a young Tula lip Indian woman, to whom he was legally married by a priest. Kroraer did not follow the example of some other pioneers when white women began to come into the country, but remained true to his vows and lived with his Indian wife and their three children. He never returned to Boston, and he died about nine years ago. The mother died later of consumption, the disease that carried away the boy. Kromer left considerable money, but in his will he gave practically all of "it to the boy, who was to look alier his sisters until tuey had completed their education. The gins were sent to the Academy of the Sacred Heart in this city, while the brother attended a Portland academy. When the pioneer died he still owned the ranch on which the greater part of Ever ett is built, and when the townsiie com pany commenci?rl to take an interest in the valuable peninsula Hnry Hewitt oi Tacoma succeeded in purchasing .-orae of it from th*> guardian of the Kromer heirs for a considerable sum. Two years after ihe property had been 9old it was consid ered worta several millions, as nearly all the tide land in the Everett barbor fronted on it.

When men or women feel depressed or dibilitated at the present day, it is com- mon to say, "I think I have malaria." What is malaria ? It 13 only perms that Ret into the body; germs that thrive and j increase unless they are killed; germs that ' worm themselves all through the system; germs that ruin the health and under- mine the life. They are aggressive, they feed upon the body, they must be killed. Many things which have been advocated for killing these germs will not do so. It is known, however, that pure.spirits taken in moderation will kill and entirely ex- j terminate the worst army of germs which ever invaded the system. They cannot withstand it. Under the influence of pure stimulants the germs are killed, and the body is strengthened to expel them from the body, and thus restore the health. It should not be understood, however, that ail spirits will do this— few will. It requires something specially pure, and specially designed for this purpose, and that is precisely what Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is. It has the highest en- dorsements of doctors and scientists. Do not be deceived into the use of any other, for there is no other preparation upon the ! market that can accomplish what 15 ac- i complished by Duffy's Pure Malt. You will rind that it is kept by reliable drug- gists and grocers. ' MADE ME A MAN /*&£> AJAX TABLETS POSITIVELY CURE Bjf ~\ -A ZX Kervous Diseases — Failing Mem- £j SCI P* l " Impotency.

Upon the Ground. 40--CHOICE FARIS-40 ONE ACRE EACH. CELEBRATED SILVA TRACT. To Close the Estate of Frank Silva, Deceased. Only four miles to Oakland, one mile to railroad station, 5 minutes walk to electric road. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. The administratrix of this estate has held this property expecting to obtain a large figure foe it. She Is now compelled to sell, and whi.e it will no doubt be a great loss to the estate to be compelled to sell at this lime she is compelled to do so. Th» buyers on the day of sale will reap the benefit of the misfortune of the estate. This will be an op- portunity of a lifetime, and this ■ particular piece of property in the near future will, beyond any question, be very valuable in these small subdi- visions. The survey and proposed electric road fiorn Oakland to San Leandro and Haywards runs through this property. The franchise is already granted to the promoters of this road. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A FORCED SALE. The administratrix of this property has only about sixty days in which to raise a larK« sum of money. Every acre of the entire tract wl 1 be sold to the highest bidder on day of sale, without limit or reserve. THIS PROI'KRTT Is divided into 40 one- acre lots each, of the richest fruit and vegetable land in Alameda County. The. soil is of a rich alluvial deposit, and is c pecially ndapted to rais- ing cherries, pears, peaches, prunes, plume, ap- ples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, rhu- barb—in fact almost anything that rich land will oduce. Another Advantage — Being within 20 min- utes or Oakland and 50 niinu «s of San Francisco is mat farmers can sell direct to the consumers, and can also secure labor at low wages. The prop- erty adjoining the Sllva 'I ract has been all built upon, city water piped to the tract. It is also a well-known fact that hundreds are now mating a comfortable living on 2 to 5 acres in this imme- diate neighborhood upon land tl.ai is not so fertile as the Sllva Tract. Do not fail to examine the property be- fore day of gale. Call at our office for full particulars. SPECIAL EXCURSION DAY OF SALE I eaves Seventh and Wash ngton streets at 12 :30 p.
