Ran Out of Judge Gibson'sCourtroom Ten Years

Ago.

The Sympathetic Jurist Made anOrder Depriving Her of

Her Children.

Sha Is Now Selling a Book inMontanaof Which Sh? Was the

Author.

Oakland Officb San Fbancisco Call,)908 Broadway, Nov.18. J

For the first time since "Calamity Jane"ran out of Judge Gibson's courtroomabout ten years ago and disappeared shehas been heard from. Atthe present timeshe is traveling the Western States sellinga book which relates her many daring ex-periences.

When Judge Gibson was on the benchCalamity Jane, her children and theirfather were before him, and figured inoneof the most striking cases ever tried intheAlameda County courts. The fatherwanted possession of the children and al-leged that Jane was a dissipated characterwho was unfit to have their care or cus-tody.

When the evidence of the father was allin Calamity Jane arose and pleaded herown case. Her costume and demeanor,both that of a typical border woman of ageneration ago, attracted the profoundestattention, and while she spoke and sobbedno other sound could be heard.

•"Judge," saiii Calamity Jane, "thesechildren are mine, and Iam able to workfor them. Iknow I'mnot a church-goingwoman, but l"m honest. 1 drink some-times, but Iwas never bo diunk that Icould not protect my children, nor didajiy one of them ever want for anything.Now, look at this man who wants to take'em from me. Take a j;ood look at him,Judge, and see ifyou think he is any morefit than me to take care of 'em. Judce.ten years aeo Isaved that man's life. Heget into a shootin,' scrjipe «nd was shotfullof holes. IfIhadn't cared for him hewould be dead lone ago. Inursed himand cared for him like a sister, and he'sthe lather of these children that he wouldtake from me now."

Judge Gibson was impressed witn thewoman's story, and said that his inclina-tion was to award the children to theirmother, "But the law is very clear onthis point." he said, "and Icannot dootherwise than give the children to their

« father.""Take 'em from me, Judge, and give

'em to him?" cried Calamity Jane. Assoon as the little ones were approached bytheir lather they ran to their mother andshe grasped them withan iron grip.,Theservices of two or three deputies werenecessary to take them from her.. Judge Gibson admired the woman'sbluniuess and evident courage and saidhe would see that she was provided for.Calamity Jane listened to the kind wordsfrom the bench and sbrieked as soon asthe Judge finished. She heard her chil-dren crying as they were led off by theirfather and the officers and controlled her-

\u25a0scit enough to say-r*"Judjre,"tliey don't, dothings in this way in Arizona. There they\u25a0would have given my children to me and.not to tnat useless character."

"Madam," said Judge Gibson with amoist eye, "I'm sorry I'm not in Arizonabecause Ibelieve vou could be made good;Ihave no such opinion of that man. ButJaw is law." .

"While the Judge was writing to a chari-table lady toattend to the broken-heartedmother Calamity Jane rushed out of thecourtroom, headed for the creek ferryroute and disappeared. For a long timeitwas thought the unhappy woman badended her life, but, instead, she disap-peared from Western life for some years,and has reappeared as an author.,A newspaper writer, who saw her inMontana a few days ago, thus describesher:, She is a masculine-looking woman, wearinga blacif sombrero and a dress 01 dark, roughmaterial. She is lone-boned and brown andold,yet active. For years alter 1885 she dis-appeared from Western view,having marriedClinton Burke at ElPa«so, but last January shereappeared at Deadwood, where a great partof her Career had been passed, and re-enteredpublic lifeby becoming a dancer on a varietystage. This was not to her liking. The lifeofthe boards proved too exacting and hard forher in her advanced years, and she took thebint oi a friend and became an author. • •• Calamity Jame belongs to a type once com-mon enough a.: over the Wesr. from Dakota tothe western line of Montana, but now extinct.-

For a few years she was a Government scout,and she participated in several Indian cam-paigns, nntabiy Ouster's Neat Perce campaignin1872-73, whea she received the name bywhich sue is now known.

\u25a0 She was a crack rifle and revolver shot anddrifted between the mining camps and stageposts of South Dakota, Utah, Montana andWyoming for years. For years before her de-parture for the South she was a pony expressrider, thus having an occupation sufficientlyexciting in those days, when Sioux were hos-tile,and covered every trail. Her route was inthe Black Hills, between Deadwood and Cus-ter, and she covered itwithout fear. In1882She took up a ranch near Miles City,Mont.,and began cattle raising. She also had an innwhere' the traveler mightget food, drink ortrouble, as seemed to him best.

'Smith Says Manager

'I!ritton*s

Letter on \u25a0 the ,Subject iWasFull of Mistakes.

ALAMEDA,Cal., Nov. 17.—The com-munication of John A. Britton, managerof the Oakland Gas, Lightand Heat Com-pany, referred to in this morning's Call,has bronght forth an answer from Ben-jamin J. Smith. This gentleman takesexception to Mr. Britton's statement,which nays:.The management of the city of Philadelphiaworks has been notoriously corrupt and offersh\ve been made to furnish gas to the city at amnch less price than that at which the city isserving itself, and yet with coal and oil at itsdoors, with labor 50 per cent cheaper than inCalifornia, with a send out more than 1000times greater than that of the cityof Alamedaper diem, they are unable to celt it at lessthan $1p-.-r thousand.Inanswer Mr. Smith says:The Philadelphia Gas Company is worked on

eight-hour shins and is 50 per cent higher inwages than Is pnid in Oakland or San Fran-cisco. The Philadelphia Gas Company in fiveyears has put into the city's treasury $5,403,---908 ove<" and above expenses ann sells the gasforsl. The companies in New York,Chicago.San Francisco, Brooklyn and all bigcities 5.3.1 their project for more thana dollar and were never known to give ud acent except in taxes, and in that they arenotoriously deceitful. Philadelphia buyswater gas from a private company and pays 35cents per 1000 feet for what ought to costonly20 cents. They use it for mixing. Thisis corruption, aud it is a notorious fact thatwherever a public utilityis furnished by aprivate company corruption rules.

Mr. Britton's assertion—

that his com-pany sell their production cheaper thananywhero in the United States —

is an-swered in the followinglanguage:

The amount ofoiland coal received by theOakland Gaa Company is we'l known. Verylittle coal is used. Nearly all oilgas is deliv-ered inthe holder, which does not cost over25 cenu per 1000 cubic feet. Experts say itshould be delivered for50 cents per 1000 cubicfeet, and that price would cover leakage, dis-tribution, taxes and t>olttical expenses. Ala-meda now gives the Oakland (ins Companysome $65,000 a year, at least $40,000 toomuch. If Aiameda owned her own gas plantand sold gas for $1 per 1000 feet, luel. lightand neat would be half as cheap as it is now,there would be ten times more gas used, andso much money would flow into the city treas-ury that taxes would ahnost be unknown, and,best of ail, there would be one less corruptionfund.

Refused to Accept It.ALAMEDA,Cal., Nov. 17.—The joint

committee of the city of Alameda and theOakland Board of Trade on the harborquestion met last evening in the CityHail, but the amended report made bythe mass*meetinr a week ago was not in-dorsed. Dr. McL-an again brought npsome points that had been rejected ateach meeting and insisted upon theiradoption. They were again rejected, andother questions which could not be satis-factorily settled at that time were laidover, to be taken up at a meeting to beheld later in the week.

A SILENT WITNESSAT THE TRIAL

Felice Varni's Lover HearsHis Alleged Slayer

Arraigned.

A Blcody Handkerchief and Tell-tale Sheets Figure in

Evidence.

Antonio Devencenzi on Trial for aHill Tragedy of Last

Winter.

Oakland Office. San Frakcisco CaalJ908 Broadway, Nov. 17. j

Nearly a year ago the body of FeliceVarni was found a short distance off thecounty road, near Elmhurst. The largenumber of shots found in the body showedthat the man bad been murdered. On the

day preceding the murder Varni and aparty of friends went out hunting. Theyreturned at different times, and when theDistrict Attorney and Sheriff had madetheir investigation they charged threemen, Antonio Devencenzi, M. Ghirardelliand G. Lnzzaretti, with the murder. Theiwo latter have been set free, as the evi-dence was not sufficient to convict, andthe trial of Devencenzi opened this morn-ing.

The tragedy stirred up considerablefeeling in the Italian quarter, and bad theauthorities had to deal with people whocould talk the English language and whowere not easily influenced by threats theirduties would have been much easier andthe results mignt have been different.

There is one pathetic feature to the case.At the trials of the men now free therewas always present one attractive littlewoman in black. t?he wasivery atten-tive listener and never missed a sessionither at the preliminary examination or

at the trial. She was present this morn-njrand is as interested as formerly. This;ittiewoman is really an unmarried widow. \Lingbefore this she would have been Mr?,Varni had not that cruel 3hooting to deatu jithe hills lai-t winter robbed her of her iver. She may be called upon to testify, I

and ifshe is her story will be interesting.The jury was obtained last week, and

this morning County Surveyor Nusuaumerexplained to ihe jurors the details of amup of the scene where Varni was round,and of the alleged wanderings of the manwho is charged with murdering him.Judge Greene took a seat with the jury,and as Denmy District Attorney Churchexamined Mr. Nusbaumer regarding themaps the courtroom was paintully quiet.

Colonel Tom Garrity is defending theprisoner, and he had a busy day trying toprevent Detective Herbert from tellingtoo much of what he found as the resultof his investigations.

The case against Devencenzi is strongerthan that against the others. The DistrictAttorney stated that just prior to thehunting trip the prisoner and Varni, whohad been partners, had quarreled and hadseparated. Sheila had been found wrappedin a bloody handkerchief under Deven-cenzi's bed, and these|shells corresponded

in size nnd color with those found nearVarni's body.

The trial willbe continued to-morrow.

OAKLAND, Cal.. Nov. 17.—The Reli-ance Atbletic Club gave the first o! theirwinter series of gentlemen's nights attheir clubrooms on San Pablo avenue. Alarce enthusiastic ana appreciativeaudience was present.

The principal events of the evening werea wrestling match between Harry Gelderof the Oakland Athletic Club and HarryCarroll of the Reliance; and a six-roundboxing bout Detween Jim Brown, £ negroof San Francisco, and Ed O'Mailey ofOakland.

Five of the six rounds fought by Brownand O'Mailey were hard and fast, O'Mai-ley having sliu'htly the advantage at theclose. No decision was r ndered.

Inthe wrestling match Golder and Car-roll worked for an hour without a fall, andafter the close of the last boxing bout,which was between John. Scott andCharles Slambers, tney went at itagainfor another half hour.

The first preliminary bont of threerounds was between Charles Catbcart ofthe Olympic Cluu and Jimmi? Fox of theAcme.

CHIEF FAIR UNFAIR.Exceeded His Duty When Hustling

Citizens at the Theater.OAKLAND,Cal., Nov. 17.—The trouble

between Fire Cbiel Fair and the Macdon-j ougn Theater management is settled, andChief Fair has acknowledged that he ex-ceeded the provi^ons of the ordinancegoverning such matters.

George E. de Golia, attorney ipr theMacdonough interests, rendered ManagerHall a long opinion to-day. The mostsalient points are:Itcannot be sail that the Chief of the tfire

Department or (he Hre Warden are visitingyour theaier In an official capacity when theycome In aud take seals in the auditorium orgo back on the stags during a performance

!and hang around me wings because prettywomen are p'-forming a part.Ihave carefully examined the ordinances of

the cityof Oakland and can findno authorityfor tiie entrance of the Cuief of the Fire De-partment or Fire Warden into your theater

Iwhile a performance is in progress except un-. der ordinance 876. which applies onlyincase!oi fire. Ifind nothing inordinance 1035, pre-i scribing the duties of the Fire Warden, which1 authorizes him to insist upon entrance into

t your theater except for specified purposesItherein set forth, none of which give him the1 right to enter your theater upon ordinary oc-j casionsor during stillless does1 it authorize him to take other people withhim to tee the performance without payingthe admission fee.

1 do not think any reasonable man wouldsay that because anumberof reputable gentle-men were standing in tne side aisles of yourauditorium leaning up against the wall, suchgentlemen would come under the head of

j "other obstructions'' set forth inthe ordinancequoted. Itseems tonnr mind absurd to class

Ia gentleman capable of movii.e himself as an'"obstruction" in the same class with sofas,

j chairs and campstools. Ifa gentleman beanIobstruction standing in the aisle-way of atheater temporarily, "the same gentlemanwould be equally an obstruction standing onthe floor of a ballroom, equally covered bythis section.

Again, ifordinance 1537 bad been violatedand was being violated the lessee is made bytbe ordinance liable for the violation thereof,and Ifyou violated the ordinance or permittedits violation in your buildingyou should havebeen by the proper officials arrested and pun-ished therefor in Hit? manner provided bylaw.Iknow of no right orauthority vested in Mr.Fair or Mr.Murdock, either as members of theFire Department or otherwise, to enforce anyprovisions of this ordinance themselves, inde-pendent ofany court or the proper mode ofprocedure laid down by law. Still less canIfind any justification forinsulting reputable

well-known citizens of thl»city while patronsof your house. Therefore, my conclusions areand Ibo advise you, it is your duty to see thaithe provisions of ordinance 1537 aro properlycomplied with in your tneater; that you areliable for the violation of such ordinance ;thatneither Mr. Fair nor Mr. Murdock has wnyright to enter your theater durng the oidm-«ry progress of a performance therein withoutpaying their admission fee the same as auyother persons.

Mayor Davie introduced a resolution to-nistht at the meeting of the Police andFire Commissioners, prohibiting cityemployes from accepting any pass fromplaces of public amusement. The Mayorand Chief Fair had an exciting conversa-tion, but it is very probable that themeasure willpass at the next meeting.

CURIOUS STORIES OF WHIST.A.Favorite Game of Celebrities— AGame

That Caused Great Sorrow.

Lord Bligo was at a cardtable when thenews was brought to him that his mag-nificent residence was on nre. He stoppedonly a moment to ascertain whether ornot hi9presence would be of material ser-vice on the scene of the conflagration.Finding that itwould not be calmly tookup the hand which had been dealt himwhile he was talkine wiih the messengerand resumed -play.

A case where a simple game of whistwas responsible for a good deal was thatin which G. 11. Drummond of the famousCharing Cross banking-house of Londonlost £25,000 at a single sit ing to BeauBrummel. When his losses became knownto Drummond's partners they decidedthat a gambler was an undesirable as-sociate in a business requiring for pros-perity the confidence of the public initsmanagers. They therelore forced him toretire.

What is known as a Yarborough handin whist is one in which there is no cardabove a nine spot. The name given tothis hand is derived from a certain LordYarborough, who used to offer the attrac-tive but very safe wager of £1000 to £1that a hand of this sort would not bedealt. He may have worked out thechances or he may not, but the fact issuch a hand occurs only once in 1827rounds. Itis said that Yarborough wonhis wager many thousand times.

At the Union Ciub of Boulogne someyears ago the dealer dealt the twenty-sixred cards to himself and partner and allthe black cards to their opponents. Whenwe come to realize that the odds againstsuch a round of hands are eight billion toone, we must admit this was a very re-markaole deal.

Metternich, the great Austrian states-man, owed to a single game of whist thegreatest sorrow of his life. One evening,while he was engaged in is favoritegame, an express arrived withdispatchesfrom Galicia. He placed the papers onthe mantelpiece, and went on playing allthat night and far into the morniner.When the party broke uphe was horrifiedto learn that upon bis immediate reply tothe dispatches depended the fate of 2000innocent persons. Had Metternich lovedwhist less passionately history had neverrecorded the infamous" Galician massacre.—London Tid-Bits.

AS ARISTOCRATIC DWARF.Ho Was of High Birth and Breeding

and Wat Favored by Royalty.

On September 5, 1837, at his cottagenear Durham, where he had lived in re-tirement for many years, died Bomlwaskl,a Polish count, bat who had made thiscountry the home of his latter days.Though low of stature he was of highbirth and breeding, which no donbt hascaused his case to be frequently men'tioned.

He was born in November, 1729, in thereign of George 11, am as he did not dietill the first year of that of Queen Vic-toria, at ihe age of 98 years, ne lived dur-ing those of five British sovereigns. Atone year of age he had attained to only14 inches in stature; at 6, to 17 inches; at20, to 33 inches, and at 30, to 39 inches.And he had a sister, named Anastasia,seven years younger, who, when fullgrown, was shorter than himself by abead and shoulders, so that she couldstand under his arm. But, though sosmall in stature, he was a handsome man,his body being of the must perfect sym-metry;and he was, moreover, not only awit,but something of a scholar and an ac-compliaiied gentleman, his mind beingcultivated to an extraordinary degree bytravel and study, for he had visited vari-ous lands and many ot the royal courts ofEurope. Inearlier life he had been exhib-ited and had appeared as an actor, andGeorze IV,as Prince of Wales, had seenand known him in those days.Itis related in the 'Memoirs of Charles

Mathews," the comedian, that in July,1821, when George had succeeded to tnethrone, he, previous to being crowned, ob-tained an interview with Borulwaski, andIn a most deiicate manner offered him any!pecuniary help ifhe needed itto make hislatter days comfortable. He ordered thathis coronation robes should be shown tothe little Count, and as a favorite valet ofthe Kingwas dying, who remembered thedwarf, Boruiwaski visited his sick cham-ber at the request of Georere IV. On hisdeath, on September 5, 1837, Count Borul-waski's remains were laid in the Chapel ofthe Nine Altars at Durham Cathedral.

Wanted a Toy Yacht.

Nearly every day letters reach theMessrs. Cramps office, addressed in child-ish hands, some of which are amusing.One little fellow wrote the other day ask-ing for an estimate on ttie construction ofa toy yacht, which he wanted to take tothe seashore with him. He wanted realBails on it "that you could pull up anddown," and gave accurate dimensions as tothe building ot the bull. Allof theseepistles are answered as carefully asthough they involved contract* for mil-

lions. The usual form of reply is thatthe workmen are too busy on the war-ships to accept any more orders at present,and the youncsters are advised to transfertheir patronage to a Chestnut-street toymerchant.— Philadelphia Record.

A Pack of Wolves in Wisconsin.A correspondent writes from Ashland,

\Yi~., about a puck of wolves that gatheredaround his camp at night. Maeua, orErnest, the Indian guide, was sleeping,when all of a sudden he leaped to his feetand began to pile wood on the fire with anaste that surprised the white man. Whenthe flames were crawling rapidly upthrough the wood the Indian explainedthat wolves were down in the swamphowling. The white man wouldn't be-lieve it, as he bad not heard anything.The Indian said, "Yousee, pretty quiet,"and tethered the horses between thewagon and fire.

Then the wolves came within hearing ofthe white man, sending chills up his backwith their long, undulating howl. Thehorses shook the tree to which they hadbeen tethered withtheir violent trembling.Then suddenly all was still. The wolves,some of which had come within fifteenpaces of the camp-fire, sneaked awaysilently, baffl?d in their search for horse-flesh by the flames.
