He said they both belonged to Petaluma, where the girl's father was a dealer in cattle. The Judge said he did not like to have the girl dis graced by convicting her of petty larceny and allowed her to go on her own recog nizance so that she could go to her home in Petaluma and prepare for. her wed ding. The case was continued for a week. The girl was accused of stealing a raglan coat from Mrs. Tracy of Ocean View last March. ;--':^.' • Saves Girl From Disgrace. Sun, Moon and Tide.

Bulger made the following report yester day to Supervising Inspector Berming ham: In the matter of the investigation of the cause of the burning of the donkey boiler of tho Pacific Coast Steamship Company's steamer Umatilla, upon examination of the marine engineers of said steamer for allowing the water to becoraeT low in the donkey boiler on the morning of tho occurrence (September 4. 1903). we find that First Assistant Engineer John W. Haughton Second Assistant Thomas Concannon and Third Assistant Robert B. Gor8 were on watch at different times on the morning of the 4th while the fires were lit under the donkey boiler, and that during that time the water became so low that the in ner sheet of the combustion chamber and the back head of the boiler were badly damaged. It was impossible for us from the testimony taken to place the blame directly or solely on any of the licensed officers, to justify a revo catlcn of license, but we do find that all three of the assistant engineers were Inattentive to their duties in so far as they failed to dis cover that there was not sufficient water In the boiler on the occasion in question. For such inattention to duty we have this day suspended the license of each the above named engineers for a period of fifteen days from date. Chief Engineer Wolters is exonerated from blame in the matter. Licenses of Three Officers of the Umatilla Are Suspended for Fifteen Days.

CAPITALIST BTJYS GTTN" AND COMMITS SUICIDE Wealthy San Diego Resident Shoots Himself Immediately After the Purchase. SAN DIEGO. Sept. 22.-CaptaIn H. J. Teel, who resided in this city for the past four years, shot and instantly killed himself to-day. He had long suffered various afflictions of the body and was partially crippled. He entered a gunstone on H street this morning, asked to look at some revolvers and selected a second hand one, for which he paid $4 50. He asked if it was loaded and on being in formed that it was he started for the door, but before reaching It placed the weapon to his head and pulled the trigger. Captain Teel was possessed of consider able means, pwning 1 valuable property' near Ashland, Or., and Sacramento. He was 70 years of age and leaves a wife of about the same age. The inspectors will therefore be re lieved from duty until Monday, October 5. 1903, and the Health Board will pro ceed to appoint temporary inspectors from the civil service eligible list during the interim. Yesterday a requisition was sent by the Health Board to the Civil Service Commission asking the last named body to certify the names of four eli gibles from the list of assistant sanitary inspectors. The Civil Service Commission at once certiiied the names of Fred C. Muller, Joseph Kukendall, Fred Howe and Reu ben Hill. The certification of these names exhausted the eligible list and Dr. Fred C. Muller was at once appointed by O'Brien to look after the district former ly supervised by Dr. Fitzgibbons. In all likelihood Drs. Kukendall, Howe and Hill will receive appointments to the tempo rary vacancies to-day, that Is, if they express a willingness to serve the city for such a short period as two weeks. Should they not accept appointment the Health Board will find itself in a dilemma, as three districts will remain without sani tary inspection for the time stated. APPOINTS TO VACANCIES. The four inspectors were unwilling to submit tamely to suspension and there fore Dr. Fitzgibbons, one of the suspend ed men, sent a communication to Health Officer O'Brien asking him to rescind his action. Dr. O'Brien immediately sent communications in reply, one of which says: . % - September 21. 1903. Dr. F. T. Fitzgibbons: After deliberation and consultation with members of the Health Board who are familiar with the dereliction in your case, It h£is been concluded that the sus pension must stand aa originally o/dered. A. P. O'BRIEN. Healtft Officer. Health Officer O'Brien, acting under au thority from the Health Board, was of the opinion that a suspension of two weeks was severe enough to meet the exigencies of the case. In this way the suspended inspectors avoided the humil iation of a trial before the Civil Service Commission. Action was taken under the provisions of section 12,- article 13, which states that "nothing shall limit the power of any of ficer or board to suspend a subordinate for a reasonable period, not exceeding thirty days." For any suspension in ex cess of thirty days action can only be taken on charges properly filed with the Civil Service Commission, as the sanitary inspectors are appointed from the eligi ble list. The charter provides that no civil service appointee can be removed ex cept for cause and then only after a hear ing in which the accused may be given an opportunity to defend himself. Tho Board of Health has suspended As sistant Sanitary Inspectors Frank T. Fitzgibbons, Jonathan Green, "William S. Hereford and Roland E. Hartley. The suspensions are temporary, dating from September 21 to October 5 and the cause alleged in a communicatnon sent on Mon day to the four suspended officials is "the continuous unsatisfactory performance of their duties in the districts to which they are assigned from the beginningof the present fiscal year." The suspensions were made by Health Officer A. P. O'Brien, only, however, af ter consultation with the individual mem bers of the Board of Health. Complaints had been made to O'Brien that the four Inspectors, all of whom are physicians, had been negligent in their inspections of the districts under their immediate super vision and Dr. O'Brien declared that the complaints warranted the disciplining of the inspectors by temporarily suspending them. The greatest secrecy has been maintained by the Health Board regard ing the suspensions, as it was not desired to injure the physicians under fire in their professional capacity. ACTS UNDER CHARTER.

The Chief advised Snow that if Gold man attempted to do him any injury to notify him and he' would promptly at tend to the matter, but he heard nothing further from Snow. "For services in Oakland and San Fran cisco as epecial attendant during attacks of temporary insanity from March, 1902, to date, $1000; less cash received, $650— $350." "The djarge of $1000 for attendance upon me," saiS Goldman, "is simply an at tempt on the part of Snow to escape re paying to me the $700 he borrowed from me. I have never been temporarily in sane and Snow has never rendered me any services as special attendant. I shall prosecute him civilly and criminally to the end." Goldman and Snow had an encounter in Oakland one day last week and one of the papers there reported that Snow was badly beaten up. but it was reported in another paper that Snow held his own against his younger antagonist. Tnat Snow has been afraid of Goldman doing him personal injury for some time was referred to by Chief Wittman after he learned of the issuance of the war rant. The Chief said that Snow had called upon him last January and asked for police protection from Goldman. He told the Chief that Goldman had been annoying him to such an extent that he had been forced to leave Oakland and take up his residence in this city. Gold man had found out his residence here and one night met him and told him, as he displayed a keen^edged butcher knife, that nothing would please him better than to drink a cupful of Snow's blood. "A. Goldman to R. W. Snow A. Goldman, a merchant at 007 Wash ington street, Oakland, secured a war rant from Police Judge Fritz yesterday for the arrest of R. \V. Snow, ex-Mayor of Oakland, on a charge of libel. Gold man was accompanied by his attorney. Frank J. Murphy, who said that a civil suit would be instituted by Goldman against Snow for $5000 damages and for the recovery of $700 which Goldman al leges he loaned to Snow. The alleged libel was contained in the following account sent, it is claimed, through the mails by Snow to Goldman on March 13 last from Snow's office, 917 Market street, this city: II. A.

Schr Lily, Bottger, 6 days from Umpqua, Nine years of litigation was ended yes terday In the United States Circuit Court by the handing down of a decision in two of the celebrated Santa Cruz water bonds cases. The two suits were entitled Waite vs. city of Santa Cruz and were brought to recover $27,000 and $14,000 respectively, the alleged value of bonds and issued by the city for the purpose of ob taining a water supply. At the time of the commencement of the action Albert H. Waite held the legal title to all of the bonds and coupons. Shortly after ward Waite died In Massachusetts and on March 2, 1903, on' an order of the Probate Court of Massachusetts, the administra trix, Helen E. Waite, transferred all Waite's interest in the bonds and coupons to John' M. -Graham. On April 1 of the same year F. A. Hlhn, for a valuable consideration, became the owner, and on April 15 Hihn delivered to the city of Santa Cruz the bonds and coupons men tioned in the complaint and agreed that they should bear interest at 4 per cent per annum from said date. Upon a stipulation, wherein all the above mentioned facts were agreed upon. Judge de Haven, sitting as a Circuit Judge, rendered judgment for both amounts sued for, interest upon the judg ments to run at 4 Der cent. When the city of Santa Cruz issued the water bonds the authorities entered into a contract with certain "promoters" to dis pose of the entire issue. The "promoters" disposed of the bonds, pocketed the pro ceeds and then went *into bankruptcy. When suit was brought against their sureties for the amount collected it was found that the promoters had organized a company consisting mainly of themselves and had put up the sureties for them selves. This company also went into bankruptcy, and the bonds having been Bold to Innocent purchasers, and having been legally issued, the city was respon sible for their payment and was obliged to Issue a duplicate set of bonds to ob 1 tain Its water supply. Suits for the re mainder of the first Issue of the bonds are pending in the Federal courts on ap peal. COL.TOX, Sept. 22.— W. I* Baugus. con ductor of a Southern Pacific work train running in and out of Declez Quarry* east of here, was found dead beside the track early this morning with his head crushed to an almost urecognizable mass. The body was discovered by a section crew two miles east of this city. Baugus had evidently been murdered by powerful blows on the head. It is presumed by the railroad officials that he came- to Colton yesterday to cash his pay check and that on his return, either In the Colton yards or further out, he was set upon by thugs, beaten to death and robbed of the $130 -which he !• supposed to have had with him. One theory Is that the man's body was carried out of Colton on a handcar and thrown into the ditch during the night, as there were few signs of a struggle where h« was found. The prisoner at the bar was rightfully tried and convicted for the larceny of a dog and cannot be discharged upon habeas corpus. ? • * However, I am satisfied that In our condition In this territory a dog is property of a high pecuniary value, and Is the subject of larceny under the very principle upon which the common law determined that question. Last winter a whole population of ¦ civil ized men and women invaded the dense wilder ness of the Tanana Valley, crossing the snowy mcruntalns amid the blizzards of Arctic blasts, and established permanent towna and min ing camps there, depending upon this valuable animal aa their sole beast of burden and only means of transportation. Hundreds of ani mals of the best breeds have been Imported Into the territory from the States as well as from the British territories, and the dog has a fixed and definite value as a beast of burden in Alaska, second to no other animal. He Is to the far northland what the horse was to the development of- the great plains west cf the Mississippi. It cannot be presumed that Congress was ignorant of his history and value to the people of Alaska when it passed the Penal Code. ,Thls court will not. by a limited construction, exclude the dog from the pro tection of the Penal Code of Alaska nor ought it to do violence to the well established rule of decisions declaring the animal not the sub ject of larceny under the common law. SOLE BEAST OF BURDEN. • • • "U'hen the news of the distovery of the Klondike and Nome gold Heidi attracted thousands of American miners into this re- Klon, he was found to be the most ready, use ful and active animal in aiding them to reach the mines. From that day to this he has been the constant companion of the prospector, the miner and the freighter, and without his aid -and sagacity the efTorts of even American miners to develop the gold fields must have languished. He has served the cause of jus tice and aided In the establishment of the courts, and the Judge of this court has traveled hundreds of miles along Alaska trails each winter upon vehicles drawn tiy the docs. In the performance of his official duties. Gold dust is net mentioned In either sec tion, yet It has never been doubted that its theft might be punished as larceny. A dis tinction, however, is urged between the theft of these classes of property and that of dogs, and this distinction is based upon the alle gation that swine, sheep and gold dust are property, the theft of which is punishable at common law. while the taking of a dog never was and Is not now larceny at common law. Nevertheless, a dog is a chattel. • , • • Whoever has made even the slightest study of the ethnology of Alaska or has given to Its present development a minute's thought knows that the dog has betn. next to man, the most important factor in its past and present history. THE DOG IN ALASKA. This vital question comes up on an ap peal filed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court of Appeals In the case of P.' C. Burkal, now in jail at Rampart, Alaska, for taking possession of a dog without consent of his master. The Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alaska convicted Burkal and rendered an elaborate opin ion In effect that no matter what a dog might be in England and In America, the dog was property in Alaska and a man could be convicted for stealing one. The animal which Mr. Burkal took under the common law was valued at $34, a petty larceny value, and Burkal was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. Judge Wickersham emitted the following jewels in deliverinR his opinion: The dog If not specifically mentioned In the statute of Alaska among the animals or other property subject to larceny. If it is prop erty whose taking is larceny, it must be be cause it is Included in the meaning of "goods and chattels" whess taking Is made larceny by Section 41 of the Penal Code. • • • Sec tion 4:5 does not specifically mention swine or fiheep as the subject of larceny, yet it will not be claimed that they may be taken without punishment. Under common law of England a dog Iv not property, and the stealing of one is not a crime, 'not even a misdemeanor, no matter how valuable the animal may be. - "Is a dog property?" is a question, that has been submitted to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for a legal an swer.
