MURDERING WOMEN IN COLD BLOOD Scouting Parties Fall to Find Old Masse, Who Is as Wicked and Slippery a Redskin as Ever Carried a Blanket, Special Oorresponilenoe of the Exakikks.1 Sax Carlos Isdiak Aoenct, June 2B, 1891. Did you ever hear of Massed No? Well, he is a renegade Chiracahua Indian who has been on the war path since the oldest inhabitant" can remember. During the campaign of '85 and '86 he was head cook and bottle-washer to that old fiend, Geronimo, and when Geronimo surrendered, or rather when he informed the United States that be was extremely tired and hungry and desired a much needed rest and a certain amount of food, which was given him, bid Masse remarked that those were his sentiments also.

But there was one proposition that he did not take to very kindly, and that was the proposed trip to Florida. He stated that Florida was a very good place in winter time for a New York capitalist but as a summer resort it failed to satisfy his longing, and that he vastly preferred tbe rattlesnake infested mountains ofAri-zonaand the muddy waters of the Gila and San Carlos rivers to any inducements that Florida offered. He further said that the Gila monsters and centipedes were companions in every way desirable when compared with the alligators and mosquitoes of the Florida rivers and their banks. Uncle Sam told him, howover and in set terms that his services were required as a Sunday-school teacher in the East, and that he meant to take him there, whereupon the old reprobate climbed into a oar, and, after wiping off his war paint and stuffing his "gee string" inside his new army trousers, he took a seat on the shady side of the Pullman and started on his way in no pleasant frame of mind. He asserted that if he was allowed to train the religious idea how to shoot he would make exceeding hard work for the coming crop of boy preachers.

When he got to St. Louis, however, and had seen all the horrors of civilization, he decided that he was unequal to the task of reforming such people, and, stealing a carbine and revolver from one of tbe guards, he slid through a window while the train was at full speod, and started back to Arizona on foot. BLOOD OX THE BACK TRAIL. How he worked his way back will always be a mystery, but the first heard of him, after his objection to the terrors of riding through Missouri, was down among the Comanches in Indian Territory, where he killed a couple of bucks, stole some horses, aud, taking a couplo of squaws with him, started for the White mountains in Arizona, and, for fear of injuring the feelings of his clansmen by conveying to them proof of his alion marriage, he killed the squaws just prior to reaching his old stamping grounds. no was iuuu iu cuuituuuiuaijiuu witu nis people, who received him up In the mountains with open arms, and reported his arrival to the agent at San Carlos.

The agent at once requested the commanding officer at San Carlos and Apache to send out scouting parties. This was done, and since that day in the summer of '86 scouting parties have been in search of Masse, and probably will be for a generation or so. It is asserted by John Hempstead, who used to be chief of scouts at San Carlos, that the old scoundrel visited the agency one day, and that he saw him, but he fails to state why he did not capture him. It was certainly not on account of fear, for John says himself that that element was left out of his composition; but the ordinary man would think twice before he tried to capture old Masse even once, and if he failed to handle himsolf with considerable diligence he would probably never think any more. It is only a short time since the old man had business up near Apache, and white hid in the rocks a few miles from the cost he observed an old squaw, accompanied by her daughter, passiug within a hundred yards or so.

He killed the old lady and took the girl with him over into Sonora on a honeymoon. OSK LIFB SriRKD. The old woman's remains were found a few hours after her death, and another scouting party was added to the list. It returned after its rations were all used up, having accomplished nothing, as usaal. He tired of this wife in a short time, and informed her of his intention to kill her, but she pleaded so hard for her life that he pointed to a mountain peak away to the north they were in the mountains back of Fort Bowie at the time aud told her that it was the home of her tribe, and to go.

She went and finally drifted into the agency, where she told her tale to tho agent and asked for food. Masse is on excellent terms with another noted citizen of Arizona, of the same caliber as himself. "The Kid is the celebrity referred to, and the names of this festive" pair are constantly on the tongues of tbe isolated settiers and prospectors who are near the trail that leads from Saa Carlos Agency to Sonora, for they are always expecting to be the recipient of a ritie bullet from cither one or the other of them.

The Monumentals' Ancient Machina Is Still Serviceable.

SHE HOLDS THE WORLD'S RECORD. Tbe Tamps and Their Sons Take Her Out and Shake Her Up as They Used to Do In the City's Historic Days. There was an Imaginary fire near the corner of First and Folsom streets yesterday afternoon. The fire alarm was not sounded from the city's alarms, but the veterans and their sons were at the designated spot just as if there bad been a great conflagration. About 1 o'clock the old Exempt engine house was a scene of activity and bustle, and soon tbe Exempt was hauled out and down to First and Folsom streets for a trial.

mere were about twenty-five men tugging at the long ropes. The sons of the Exempts were next the machine and might have done most of the labor, but when the TBET DOUSED THB CHIRP. objective point was reached it lookad as if tho gray-beards had been reserving their strength just to show the youngsters and the spectators bow they used to handlo the fires, for the way about fifty of them "jarred down the brakes was a caution. The old machine throws quite a stream. It did not matter much if some people along the street were dampened a little; it was a warm day, and possibly tho vets who held the nozzle did not see them.

They misrht have been thinking of the days when San Francisco was a village and they were the pioneer firemen whose tasks were hard and often involved risk of death to themselves and associates. The stream was greeted by many hearty cheers from the spectators, who included numbers of men who had seen the Exempt at more than one fire, and gave vent to their pent up recollections in old-time hurrahs that had all the ring or sincerity. After it had been satisfactorily demon strated that tbe machine was still able to hold her own the lone line of the two com panies stretched out again and hauled the engine homo to the Brenbam-place quarters that have so long housed it There a banquet followed. President Henry D. Hudson welcomed those assembled, and George H.

Bahr, President of the Sons of Veteran Firemen, responded. The old days were rehearsed in song ana story, and a very enjoyable afternoon passed. It was in 1854 that the old Exempt was brought to San Francisco by the Monumental Company. Her history is varied. The original cost was $6,000 and sho all the Exempts call it she was brought around the Horn by sailing vessel.

There is a silver trumpet In the engine house now that the Exempt won at the State Fair in Stockton In Is 57. Two years later at Sacramento she won another prize against fourteen machines, by throwing a stream 229 feet breaking the world's re cord. Alone about 1863, when improved water-throwing apparatus was manufactured and brought to San Francisco, the old Kxempt was considered a back number, and Virginia City paid $5,000 for her. After good service there, Corvallis, Oregon, bought her. In 1889 the Monumentals learned that their old pride had been discarded and was slowly rusting awBV in an old barn.

A member was immediately sent there aud the machine was bought for tlOO, about one-fourth of what hor brass alone was worth. Since that time the Exempt has stood in the engine house facing the plaza, opposite the Old City Hall, bright and clean, and as eady to lend assistance if needed as in the pioneer days. WEATHER Summary of Signal-Service Statistics for tho Month of Jane. The meteorological summary for the month of June has been completed by the United States Signal-Service Observer in this city. From the summary it appears that the "highest barometer was on June 4 th, camel 80.168, and the lowest barometer, 29.792, was on the 29th day.

The mean temperature for tho month was 60. and the highest temperature was on tho 29th, 100 degrees, while the lowest temperature, 48 degrees, was on the 7th day. The prevailing direction of the wind was from the west, and the greatest velocity was attained on tho 13th day, when it blew from the southwest forty miles an hour. The total precipitation of moisture during the month was eleven one-hundredths of an inch. The number of cloudless days during the month was 20; partly cloudy, cloudy davs, 8.

The extremely hot weather was the most remarkable feature of the month's observations, being in excess of any similar weather during a period of recorded observations extending back fifty years. The forecast of the weather for to-day made bv the Weather Bureau last evening predicts fair weather for Northern California, exempting slierht rain at Keoler. The temperature will be generally warmer, but will be stationary at Eureka and cooler at Keeler. The prevailing winds will be in general north to west if A Foreign Whoop-Up on the Presidio Parade Ground. AMERICANIZED JAPS AT SPORT, Some Remarkable Footracing In a New Style-PUy Ins Hall With Bleaching Hoard Ke marks In Itrokra English.

The Japanese had a great time celebrating the natal day out on the Presidio fields. Some 400 of them gathered there after the procession disbanded and whooped up American ideas and games in the very latest liberal Japanese fashion. They said they liked the Americans and they wanted to testify in some way their great admiration for Independence Day. They had the jolliest kind of a time, and kept the games going till darkness compelled them to desist. Only men were present and they wer dressed in their very best American Fourth of July clothes.

The only contests peculiar to Japan were tbe sword combats, and each bout elicited the wildest kind of enthusiasm. The shouts and cries became so vociferous that curious soldiers came over from the Presidio barracks to witness and enjoy the sport. They batted a ball around the field for about an hour to limber up their minds and "BOASTER, I'LL SKEWER THElt! Sketched on tht tpot by an Examiner" artitt. bodies and get them in trim for the literary and athletic exercises. Mr.

Yashimura was mostly at the bat, and whenever be failed to smash the Inside out of the ball and sprinkle the contents over the blue vault of heaven everybody yelled in true American style, "Get him balloon!" Finally the Committee on Field Demonstration," as they called it, managed to gather the excited playors by a loud clapping of hands. The breathless and happy Japanese sat In a semicircle, and T. Sugawara, standing under the flapping flag of his country, delivered a short address of welcome. It was in Japanese and evoked great applause. N.

Imajo followed him with a reading of tho Declaration of Independence in English. Frequent cheers punctuated the stirring lines, which were well delivered. The literary portion of the programme closed with short speeches by S. Misaki, M. Jamato and G.

Hata. Then three rousing cheers wore given for the United States and three more for Japan. Then coats and hats were tossed aside and everybody chased helter skelter over the campus like wild athletes. They gamboled, sported and skylarked till there was scarcely wind left in them for the contest. FI.YISG LEAPS.

After a deal of shouting, excitement and scurrying to and fro the "Committee on Field Demonstration" managed to round up some two dozen impatient athletes and drove them into a roped enclosure whore their superabundant spirits found vent in running high jumps. After half an hour of thia exercise L. Ishigaml was declared the best high jumper. He cleared the pole at 4 feet 6 inches, and was given a beautiful fan as a prize. While the cheering of the winner's enthusiastic friends was at its height the committee managed to get a rope about the entire crowd, and thus had the contestants for the pole vault at hand when the time camo to call them.

G. Hondo out-vaulted his seventeen competitors, and walked off with the cheers and the prize, a fine umbrella. The foot race almost produced a riot. Every one of the excited celebraters wanted to participate in it but the committee finally cut the mob down to forty starters. The rest of the crowd were only placated by being made starters, timers, flag holdors, clothes holders, umpires, judges, referees an clerks.

This scheme worked for three races, but tho fourth race, a three-legged affair, was rather close, and the mob of referees, time keepers, judges, umpires and starters got in such an excited tangle over the result that it is still undecided. HOW THEY SPBIKT. The elect and much excited forty were finally segregated from their bustling trainers and advisers, and the committee divided them into three batches. Japanese sprinting differs from the Haxon in that the contestants run 100 yards to several flags stuck in the ground, grab one and return with it to the goal. The rules may be different in Japan, but in a Japanese foot race here on the 4 th of July it is considered all right to stop in the race and ooinmonce an argument with an adversary by telling him he does not know the first principles of running.

Quite a number of enthusiastic runners stopped in the race yesterday to argue heel and toe notions. Others seemed to think it a brilliant opportunity to jump on another runner's back and be carried to the coal. A few stopped to tell the yelling crowd to step back, but whatever reason a runner stopped for, each one nianagod to gpt a flag and get back to the goal in time to Join their friends in claims for the race. S. Ukai's friends argued the longest and the loudest after the flrst race, and he won it by only opening his mouth once, aud then it was to swallow a piece of ice, H.

Takahama won the try in the second batch of runners, and H. Akutagawa made the ablest argument for the third heat Tcon the three victors were shouted for to run the final. Akutagawa had drunk too mucn water after his able harangue to the timekeepers, umpires, referees, judges and coat holders. He was discovered stretched on the sward and unable to budge an inch. Ukai and Takahama were carried to the scratch by their uproarious admirers and started up the stretch.

Takahama did not have the steam in bim either to run er to argue, and he gave up halfway down the home stretch. Ukai came in an easy winner and now his enthusiastic friends want to run bim for President of the new Japanese debating club. MANIFESTING WAIil.IKP! SPIRIT. The three-legged race produced a riot among the juuges, referees, umpires and others, and the question of who won it has ben referred to the aforesaid debating society. The day's exercises closed with an exhibition of Japanese sword contests.

Tbe more set-tos they bad in this line the more excited the spectators became, and at the end of each round a dozen volunteers put themselves down as ready to meet a rival. In consequence of this enthusiasm the eon-testing of the finals reached far into the darkness, and still the much-disputed question of who is champion is a prolific subject of heated argument Tbe contestant got themselves up in a rid much resembling the outfit of a baseball catcher, with men on the bases.

The San Francisco Scottish Thistle Club gave their ninth annual gathering and games at Shell Mound Park yesterday.

Then they were escorted to the ofil cers' tent, where a generous spread was awaiting them.

Kis vol-leving kept Mr. Hubbard dancing around the back line. The big Oaklandcr was weakening. Taylor had not turned hair. He perspired Just a little, and played as calmly as if it were merely a practice game.

HUBBARD'S GREAT STROKES. Hubbard depended on his swift drives, while the champion used every stroke possible. In the fourth game of the first set it was deuce four times and Hubbard finally won by a neat pick-up about ten feet from the rope, dropping the ball Just on the other side, where Taylor could not reach it. In the next gamo Taylor, after one or two clever pick-ups and stops of hot drives, caught one just where he wanted it Kill it, Taylor," howled an enthusiast The little man stepped quickly under it and made one of the prettiest lobs ever seen upon a court. The ball dropped just where it was directed, about three inches inside the northwest corner.

Hubbard made several clever back-hand strokes down the lines, but did not seem able to place them. When the set was won by Taylor, a yell of exultation escaped the California Club representatives. Taylor heard it, of course, but he never move'd a muscle. Applause does not stir him much, although no doubt verv measant The second set was mora exciting. The score was deuce vantage throughout Taylor allowed Hubbard to come close down to the net and the result was that several pretty lobs which the champion made were driven down to his feet much to the dis gust of the California men.

When the set went to Taylor by a score of 6-1 another demonstration occurred, from which he escaped into the clubhouse like a true sport But the third set gave the Oakland man's friends an opportunity to unloose their lungs and fall upon each other's necks. Hubbard won it Taylor was tired and played a more quiet game, evidently trying to simply wear Hubbard out, so that he might have htm at a disadvantage in the next set it became necessary to play it UNDOUBTEDLY CHAMPIOS. Hubbard went at the ball as if he wanted to eat it up, and Taylor worked him as bard as be could. He kept shoving the ball wherever Mr.

Hubbard was not, and the Oakland man kept moving around like a grasshopper on a warm day. And Hubbard won his iirst and only set, the score Doing 6-4 in his favor. But this was the last opportunity he got Taylor began all the tactics for which he is noted in the fourth set Hubbard played like a fiend and made some almost impossible plavs. From start to finish the audience was on its feet howling, yelling, clapping and stamping. The men went hoarse and the ladies burst their gloves.

All was excitement. When Tavlor finally won the set (6-3) and the match his friends rushed at him. They flung him up on their shoulders and packed him around yelling like wild Indians, while the ladies waved their handkerchiefs. When the excitement subsided Mayo Newhall presented the All Comers' cup to tiuDoara ana told Mr. rayior ne mignt retain the challenge cup.

A man of business and prominence from Omaha, who makes occasional visits to friends in San Francisco, was one of a circle of gentlemen who were discussing men and topics of the day in the rotunda of the California last evening. 'I notice," casually remarked the Omaha visitor, that C. E. Mayne has taken up his residence in San Francisco, and I want to say right here that he is an enterprising, active, rustling gentleman, who is a valuable adjunct to any community. He lived in Omaha for many years, and when ho announced his intention of going away from there the regret of the citizens was general.

You may believe me, and depend upon it, when I say that Mr. Mayne did more to build up Omaha and secure for her the enviable position she holds as a manufacturing center and a prominent factor in the commercial world than any other man that ever lived there. I well remember when voun Mavne. as he was then called, came to Omaha. The town, for it was not much then, was practically asleep, and everybody appeared to be divested of what little energy they might have ever had.

It was not long, however. before there was a revival under the direct influence of Mr. Mayne, and while he remained at the helm Omaha became famous from the Atlantic-to the Pacific. The enterprise, vim and business tact of Mr. Mayne put new life in the old dry bones, and of all the people in Omaha Mr.

Mayne became the best known and most popular. His foresight and good judgment were valuable adjuncts to his nerve and daring, and to-day vast acres of land that were barren and considered no good for anything before his coming are built upon by the majority of handsome residences of the city, and from tall chimneys and immense smokestacks the smoke of industries and manufactories giving work to thousands of artisans roll heavenward. "Ho led the van in the erection of beautiful and elegant homes, and by personal donations and personal efforts was in a measure instrumental in securing for Omaha its irreproachable fine-paved streets, good water system, perfect sewerage, grand walks and beautiful parks. Although continually pressed and solicited, Mr. Mayne would never accept of a political office, and the only time he submitted to the pressure of popular demand was when accepted a seat in the Board of Public Works.

This is the most important body in the municipal government as it has the lotting of contracts for all street work and purchases of supplies for the city. If the members of the board so desire they can practice fraud by the wholesale, but during Mr. Mayne's term of service he proved a valuable and watchful servant and no jobbery or favoritism was practiced while he was on watch. As I have said before, the regret was general when he left us, and time alona will prove to San Francisco what a prize they have in the gentleman."

When the last game was scored against him he dropped bis racket completely exhausted. Hubbard.cheered by his delighted friends, who had predicted his winning of the All-Comers' cup, retired to the hotel while the enthusiasm was at its height, to rest for the final struggle with the coast champion.

He looked altogether too small to meet the young giant who had sent the redoubtable Gray down, but his manner was full of confidence. He was as cool as the proverbial cucumber, and didn't seem to mind the withering heat a bit Hubbard jumped onto the bitumen a few moments later and gave the Oaklanders a chance to do some of the shouting. The athletic young man mignt deny it, but there was no doubt he was nervous.

That little man calmly pacing up and down the other court, carelessly swinging his racket, had sent all the champions down, and Mr. Hubbard could not nelp showing he was not entirely cool. C. Treat and C. H.
