THE APPEAL OF
THEO DURRANT
Bahrs Changes His
Opinion and Signs
the Papers.
The Transcript Will Be Filed
Shortly in the Supreme
Court.
It Is Said That the Attorney-General
Will Ask for an Immediate
Hearing
Judge Bahrs yesterday signed the bill of
exceptions prepared by the attorneys for
Theodore Durrant, appealing from his
order sentencing Durrani to hang without
giving him the necessary ten days' time in
which to perfect an appeal.
Judge Bahrs refus?d to sien the papers
on Saturday. claiming that it was useless
to do bo, inasmuch as the day for the ex
ecution of the sentence had passed. He
changed bis mind yesterday, however,
(and decided to allow the attorneys to per
fect the appeal rather than take chances
on getting involved in a technical ligtit.
The transcript will be immediately
printed and riled within a day or two in

the Attorney-General will then appear
before the court and ask to have the appeal
disposed of at once.

JOHN MALLON'S
SUDDEN DEATH
Succumbed to Heart Failure
in His Rooms at the
Fulton House.
First Intelligence of His Demise
Came by Finding; His Life
less Eody in Bed.
Deceased W?s an Old-Time Resident
of San Francisco and a Success
ful Man of Affairs.
i
John Mallon, an old-time resident of
San Francisco and the president of the
Pacific-American Decorative Company,
died last Sunday or early yesterday morn
ing at Ins rooms in the Fulton Hoube, on
Larkin street, opposite the Cay Hall.
The exact lime of Mr. Mallon's demise is j
not known. lie was about town as usual
JOHN MALLON, an Old-Time Merchant, Who Was Found
Dead Yesterday.
Sunday evening, anil S»ri;eant Bethel ac
companied Dim to the doora of the Fulton
Ho;i c. Sir. Mallon undressed end went
to bed at 11 o'clock, his usual hoar o! seek
ing res- for the night,
A - 11 o'clock yesterday morning the
housekeeper end an assistant went to his
apartment to attend to the rooms. At
lirst glance, seeing that the bed was occu
pied, they fancied that Mr. Mallon was
slaej ing, hut the housekeeper, noting an
unusual expression on his face, stepped
forward and touched him. Then she per
ceived at once that the Dody was lifeless.
The leatures were not disturbed. No
s'gns of a struggle were maniiest. He lay
on his right side, with his left band rest
ing on bis head. It seemed from the
position of the body that he died from
heart lailure, passing away painlessly in
his ?iuiuber.
His grandson, Charles Mallon, who
lived witli Mr. Mallon at the Fulton
House, was away for the night attending
Peter Malion, son of the deceased, whose
health 13 impaired by congestive chills.
Thus it happened that deceased was alone
when the end came.
Few men >n this c ty were better known
than John Mallon nnd none were more
iitvorablv known. He was trenerous to a
fault, public-spirited and successful in his
business affairs. He came to San Fran-
Cisco in 1858 irom New York and estab
lished rr^ass-cutttng rooms in D. A. Mac
donald'fl mill, corner oi Market and Beale
streets. His business prospered from the
start and in the course of time he gained
celebrity for the production of s:ained
work in the highest style ot deco
rative art. Many beautiful windows from
vis establishment adorn churche«, ca
thedrals and public ediiices of the Pacilic
Coast.
(Men-handed kindness was the domi
nant trait in the everyday life of John
Malieu. He had a warm heart for his fel
low-man, and found it a source of solace
for himself to make life pleasant fur
others.
Deceased was born in New York in 1828.
He leaves a son, Peter Mallon, and a
daughter, Josephine, who were interested
with him in the management of stained

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, ISO 7.
A PIONEER
SERIOUSLY ILL
David J. Staples at His
Home at the Point
of Death.
Taken Sick Some Weeks Ago
While Huntiner in the
Marshes.
Started Lowly in Life and Eose to a
High Position in the finan
cial World.
David ?. Sinple«, president of the Fire
man's Fund Insurance Company, is seri
ously ill. lie Has been confined to his
bed at his residence, 711 Taylor sireet, for
several weeks', and his condition is giving
his fiiends much anxiety.
He is an enthusiastic angler and hunter
and on ttie opening of the duck season
wpnt huntine. While in the marshes he
was suddenly tasen ill with a complaint
of the kidneys, and his friends were
obliged to assist him back to the Country
Club house, where medical aid was se
cured for him, and then he was brought
home.
Since then physicians have been in
constant attendance and his friends fear
that ho will not recover.
Staples was born in Medway, Mass.,
May. 3, 1H29. The genealogy of the
Staples family is authentically traced
back to year WM. D. J. S'aples is a
lineal descendant of Abraham Staples,
one of the original owners and settlers of
the town of Mendon, Mai"., and who
served with distinction in King Philip's
war.
In the spring of 1849 he started for Cali
fornia, but be ore leaving for the West he
mamed Miss Mary • Pratt W.nslow,
daughter of Eleazar R. Winslow of New
ton Upper Falls. Mass. The Winslow
family dates its origin in this country
back to the landing of the Mayflower in
1020.
Mr. Staples came to California across
the plains with a company of twenty- live
men from Boston and vicinity, and ar
rived in Sacramento September 27, 1849.
In the spring ol 1850 he engaged in the
business of freighting on mule back to ttie
southern mines from Stockton, and made
considerable money. He purchased a
Spanish grant on the JWokelunine river
ami established a ferry and engaged in
many other enterprises pertaining to
pioneer life.
Hie only oilice Mr. Staples ever held
under the United States Government was
that of Postmaster at Staples Ranch from
ISSI until he resigned in 1800. He was the
first Justice of the Peace in Elliott town
s-hip, San Joaquin County, and was lirst
president and director of the State Acri
cultural Society in 1858. In 1860 he was a
delegate lo the Chicago convention which
nominated Abraham Lincoln for nil lirst
term. He was appointed Port Warden by
Governor Stanford and held that offlce
daring the latier's administration, and
was then reappointed by Governor Low.
In l»(J'j Mr. Staples was elected vice
president of ihe Fireman's Fund Insur
ance Company of San Francisco, and the
following year he was elected president,
which office he has held ever since.
During the years 1&73 to 1875 he was
acting pp s'.dent of the Society of Cali
forniu Pi. neers. He was president of the
Board of Fire Underwriters for several
years.
During 1801, while in Washington, D.
C, the war of the rebellion was breaking
out, he joined a battalion of soldiersand
served lor a time. He returned to Cali
fornia and joined the Bumner Light Guard
and remained with it until the war was
over.
Mr. Staples has been jmtly termed the
father of insurance on the Pacific Coast.
Under his administration the Fireman's
Fund has grown to be one of the most
powerful, conservative and profitable in-
Btirance companies in the world.
Mrs. Staple^ died several years ago.
Sued for Main tennnce.
Caroline Kusel commenced suit yesterday to
compel her husband, Solomon A. Kusel, to
maintain her. She alleges that Kusel, who,

PRIZE-FIGHTERS
ARE IN CLOVER
Hippodromes Will Be the
Order of the Day in the
Year of 1898.
Promoters Who Are Figuring
on Cleaning Up a Big
Harvest.
As a Sporting Town San Francisco
Is Sized Up as Being Very
Jay.
The erstwhile Tom O'llourko has tafcen
his departure for the East, but he will re
turn.
The diplomatic manacer of prize-fight
ers is very much infatuated with this city,
because there aro numberless sports here
who always patronize iistic entertain
ments — it matters not what kind they are.
O'Kourke is a very shrewd fellow arid
understands thoroughly what kind of a
fistic dish is best suited to the tastes of the
local fraternity of sport-lover?.
Yes, Mr. O'Rourte will return to the
Golden West by all means.
He is a firm believer in the adage,
"Make bay while the sun shines," and it
can be safely said that artful Thomas will
not leave a good thing slip through his
fingers if he can possibly help it.
During the racing sea on here there are
thousands of "soft" dollars waitinir to be
invested on any game that is known to
sportdom.
Next to horseracing prize-fighting is the
sport that is most fancied by the fast set,
and a contest between two farst-class
scrappers is certain to draw a big crowd of
cash customers.
But the promoters of the game of fisti
cuffs are, seeminely, not satisfied with the
easy money that is made from boxing
enter ainments. They want more than
"an honest" return from a fa'eht on the
"sqiure," ajid as a result joboing is re
soried to as a means of assuring the plot
ters big return- for the money invested.
Within tlie past year there have been a
number of so-calied fights held in thii
city that were, in the lexicon ot the sport,
"lixeii" affair-.
The promoter 1 ! of the exhibitions were
the jabbers, md the people who paid good
money to see the pOga plug were the eul
lihles, or, to use a common expression,
"tlie suckers."
The poolsellers raked in large harvests
of coin from some of the boxing enter
tainments, nnd so creat has been the
crush at the gaming-houses on ficht
nights that new places for gambling were
opened in the last few months, ibtM prov
ing beyond dispute that San Francisco, in
some respects, is really a jay town.
Mr. O'Kourke lias an idea that Green
and Waicott would attract a swell crowd
should the fighters meet again, notwith
standing the unmerciful drubbing that
the colored welter gave Green recently.
The Californian know? only too well
that he cannot even hurt his old oppo
lient, much less whip him. Why is it
then that he favors a return mate ?
Possibly Lie has an idea that Waicott
may catch cramps and a sponge thrown
In he air would proclaim bun trie winner.
Cramps under some conditions are not
very dangerous.
Then the idea of a return match be
iween Lavigne and Waicott, to be fought
before a veriscope, is, to say the least,
amusing.
O'Kourke must assuredly have taken
the mfa ure of the sporting people of this
city. They will stand for anything,,
thinks the astute manager; and he is
about right.
Two thousand people who had money
to burn puid an admission fee to see a
clumsy and unexciting slogging match
between Goddard and bharkey, and they
looted sheepish as they left the Pavilion
when Goddard was cou ited out by light
ning timer?, who had purposely "jumped 1 '
tlie second?.
Now then according to the schedule ar
ranged Solly Smith and George Dixon
will have another brush as, according to
O'Kourke, Dixon was not feeling just well
wlien he last fought and the reteree was
not just what he should have been, etc.
Smitn said after the fight with Dixon
that h<> would not meet the colored lad
again, but he has chancd his mind. La
vigne said that he would not right Wai
cott again, but he changed his mind also.
What changeable minds those fighters
have! Strange!
Green wants a try at Tommy Ryan, a
fighter who can whip Waicott, according
to the opinions of the best critic- on
pugilism. Kyan stood before the clever
"Kid" McCoy for fifteen rounds, lie
boxed "Kid" Lavigne a six-round draw
and he also met and outclassed Austra
lian Jim Hall, a heavy- weight in Chicago.
According to latest intelligence from
the East Owen Ziegler is cutting finite a
dash with the moncv "he won" in this
city, the result of his fight with Green.
Possibly alter the death of the old year
the sporting fraternity of this city will re
alize that the only way they can hope to
witness "square" tights at home is to stay
away from contests that smack of hippo
drome, and tberehv freeze the fake light
promoters out. The Call will tip "the
jtraight" fights.

Convict Heir Who Escaped
From Ike Rosenheim
Captured.
He Went to Victoria, B. 0.,
Where He Was Arrested
for Forgery,
Authorities of This City Will En
deavor to Extradite the
Criminal.
W. F. Kasson, formerly manager of the
California Commerce, a weekly paper of
this city, who, while charged with the
crime of felony embezzlement, escaped
from Deputy Sheriff Rosenheim about
four weeks ago, is again in custody.
After his escape the Sher ff and his as
sistants could get no trace of him until a

Sheriff Ike Rcsenheim in This City.B^e Is Now in the
Custody of the British Columbia Authorities.
woman, whose name is kept secret, ar
rived in this city from Portland, Or., aud
told the story of his arrest by the authori
ties of Victoria, B. C, and incarceration
on a eh Tge of forgery. Last Thursday
the Sheriff received official notice that the
man he wanted was in custody in Vic
toria. The Sheriff immediately sent a full
description, pictures and a statement of
the crrme committed by Kasson to the
auihorities naving him in i ustody, and if,
as thought, the prisoner proves to be the
man wanted, measures for his extradUion
will immediately be made.
Kasson is an interesting criminal.
Shortly after his arrest in this city he was
notified ty an Eastern lawyer that bis
uncle, James Kasson of Austin, lowa, hud
died and left mm a fortune of $250,000.
The prisoner wished to prove his indentity
ami t>ut his case in such shape that there
would bn no difficulty in his cominrr into
possession of the money when liberated,
and he requested Sheriff ">\ helan to allow
him to go to his room on Market street,
accompanied by a deputy sheriff, that he
might get certain papers to send to bis
lawyer in the East. The request was
granted and ike Rosenheim was selected
to accompany the prisoner.
lloseniiieni, however, was neglisent,
and one evening he returned to the jail
without bis prisoner. A pos*e of deputies
was put on the escape's trail, but he
could not be located. After leaving this
city it seems that he took the train for
Portland, and arrived there without diffi
culty. He went to tue home of the
woman who reported his whereabouts to
the Sheriff of this city, and remained
there until he feared exposure, and then
made for British territory. He had no
sooner s-et loot in Victoria, however, than
he was arrested on a charge of forgery,
and he found himself "out of the frying
pan into tne fire."
I'.ior to his departure from Portland to
Vic.oria he was introduced to several men
by the woman who exposed his where
abouts, and afierhcr arrival in this city
slie received a letter from one thanking;
her for tho introduction. .The party who
wrote the letter stated '.hat he was very
grateful to her who hnd ben instrumental
in his meeting Ka-son, as that gentleman
had tnouchtfuliy borrowe i $250 from him,
but had thougntlessly failed to return it
before his departure lor the foreign land.
It also stated ttiaf the escape had some
$7000 in his possession which he was will
ing to pay for freedom, but whether or not
that amount wouid. unlocs the piison
doors of two nations he was unable to say.

"FOOL OR PHYSICIAN."
Which Are You? The Length of Life
Largely Depends Upon the Answer.
"Everyman at 40 is either a fool or a phy-
sician."
This old proverb was based on a notion that
every man by the time he reached middle
life usually learns how to care for his own
heaith. If we admit the truth of It, how-
ever, we must concede that a very large pro-
portion of the people we meet are not— well,
not exactly physicians. Instead of taking
care of their health, is it not true that the
majority of people seem rather to be trying
to destroy their health by irregular living or
overwork ? Is it not also a iact that thou-
sands of men are breaking down in the prime
of life and becoming physical wrecks in con-
sequence of their indiscretion ?
' All people who have ever made a study of
the subject declare that this is the case, and
ye' there are to-day large numbers of hard--
working business men and women with many
cares who are always on the go end never fit,
rest that enjoy the best of hca.tn. Do you
know why this is so? Ask some 01 them, ana
they win tell you that tney feel well, eat well,
sleep well ana are in perfect condition simp.y
because they make regular use of that greAt
strengthening stimulant, Duffy's pure malt
whiskey. They find tuai it replaces the energy
they daily expand, keeps them braced up ami
nets as a restorative mid iuvigorator. The
great stimulating principle contained in the
pure malt has a wonderful effect in toning up
the digestive organs, overcoming tired feelings
and strengthening the whole body. All groc-
ers and druggists Keep Duffy's pure malt, but
care should be taken 10 avoid cheap, worthless
imitations which are frequently offerer!.
