Close Application to Business Prostrates Him and Finally Unhinges His Mind. What His Relatives Say?Four Other Insane Persons Committed. H. C. Witmer, the well-known banker, was taken before Judge Clark yesterday morning for an examination as to his sanity. The complaint was sworn to by Samuel J. Lewis, a brother-in-law of Mr. Witmer. Mr. Witmer was one of the stock- holders of the California bank, and for a long time was an officer of tbe institu- tion. He was prostrated by overwork, and by reason of ill health retired from active business life. Drs. Hagan and Kurtz were summoned to examine the unfortunate man, and after a thorough, observation and exam- ination adjudged him insane, and he was ordered committed to the asylum for the insane at Stockton. In their certificate, the physicians state that the evideuce Of his brother, J. M. Witmer, his sister, Mrs. Mary A. Lewis, his physician, I)r. J. W. Hunt, and that of his brother-in-law, Mr. Lewis, shows that he wants to go about without clothiDg, and refuses to be at- tended to. Also that he is very violent at times, and is deeply depressed by some business matter, the nature of which lie refuses to reveal to any one, and which appears to be the cause of his insanity, which they state is developing. He first showed symptoms of insanity in July, 1890, and took a long trip. Four or five days ago he had an attack, and on the 28th displayed his mania. He is regarded as dangerous to himself and others, and the commission attrib- utes the loss of his mind to a close application to business. Mr. Witmer is a native of this country and is but 35 years of age. He will be taken to the asylum as soon as possible, lie became violent several times yesterday, and required constant watching, three men being required to controi him when the attacks came on. In an interview la6t evening with ex-Sheriff J. C. Kays, who is a director of the California bank, he stated that Mr. Witmer had not been identified with the management of the bank for eighteen months past, at which time he was tiken down with general prostra- tion caused by overwork. He left Los Angeles one year ago on a trip through Arizona, Colorado, Washington and some of the western states, in the hope of regaining his health. He returned home some six weeks ago bat little im- proved. There were four additional examina- tions for insanity, and in each case the sufferers were committed to an institu- tion. Their names are Walter F. Ollard, Willis Stove, Max Gebhardt and John Woh, the latter a Chinaman. Hare you a vacant room? Tf so, adrer- tiseon our classified page. The Cabman Was Afraid. Mr. Walter Besant tells the following story of a disputed cab fare: "'A friend of mine drove from Piccadilly to some place in the suburbs outside the radius. On getting down he tendered three shil- lings and sixpence for his fare?this was a littleover the proper fare. The driver wanted five shillings. The passenger re- fused. 'I'd like to fight you for it,' said the driver. 'The very thing!" cried my friend, who had never in his life put on a boxing glove, and was almost as ig- norant as Mr. Pickwick even of the fight- ing attitude. 'The very thing! Capital! We'll have the fight in the back garden, my brother will look on, hold the stakes and see fair play.' The cabman got down slowly. " 'I was pleased,' continued the nar- rator, 'to discover that he appeared al- most as much afraid as I was myself, perhaps ?if that was possible ? even more. He followed into the back gar- den, where there was a lovely little bit of turf, quite large enough for practical purposes. I placed my five shillings in my brother's hands, took off ray coat and waistcoat and rolled up my sleeves, all with an appearance of cheerful alacrity.' 'Now, my friend,' I said, T am ready as soon as you are.' The anxiety of the moment was, I confess, very great. But it decreased as I watched the man's face express successively all the emotions of bounce, surprise, doubt, hesitation and abject cowardice. 'No,' he said, 'gimme the three and six; I know your tricks, both of you. I've been done this way before.' And so, grumbling and swear- ing, he drove away." Bellevne Terrace.

As the season advances the number of visitors at the beach continues to in- crease, and everything points to a bril- liant social season at the great hotel.

Just now the lovers of football are deeply interested in the latest venture of the Athletic club of this city. The club has a team of which they are justly proud, and about a month or so ago they received an offer from the San Francisco team to come north and play for the championship of the coast. Correspondence was exchanged be- tween them, with the result of the northern team guaranteeing the ex- penses incurred in going north, and the local boys will receive a sufficient amount of the gate receipts of the game to en- able them to bear their expenses during their stay and their return. After their going became a settled thing, the boys set to work practicing, and now, at the end of three weeks, an- nounce their intention of putting up the game of their lives. At the last moment ihe team was dis- appointed by two of its most capable players, VV. Alcoin and Mr. Bulpin, having to remain at home owing to sick- ness. The northern team has decidedly the advantage in point of average weight, being 165 pounds, while the Athletic team weighs 155 pounds as an average. Their rush lino will average 101 pounds, and the backs 148> pounds. JjjThe boys left last night on the San Francisco train. A large number of their admirers were present to see them off and wish them good luck. They will play at the Haight-street grounds Friday afternoon, January 1, 18!>2. A second game may possibly be played. The team will be absent about five days, and willprobably return in a body by steamer. C. Patrick, will act as captain to the boys. The following composed the team, to- gether with their relative positions: W. H. Kellar, full back; E. Chapman, half back; VV. Gard, half back; J. D. Stimson, quarter back; J. Bethune, center rush ; P. Flammer, right guard; H. H. Mayberry, left back; 11. Wilson, left tackle; VV. A. Tufts, right tackle; C. E. Patrick, left end; H. W. Conger, right end ; subs, VV.

H. C. WITMER INSANE.

THE WELL-KNOWN BANKER COM-MITTED TO STOCKTON ASYLUM.

Close Application to Business ProstratesHim and Finally Unhinges His Mind.What His Relatives Say?Four OtherInsane Persons Committed.

H. C. Witmer, the well-known banker,was taken before Judge Clark yesterdaymorning for an examination as to hissanity. The complaint was sworn to bySamuel J. Lewis, a brother-in-law ofMr. Witmer.

Mr. Witmer was one of the stock-holders of the California bank, and fora long time was an officer of tbe institu-tion. He was prostrated by overwork,and by reason of illhealth retired fromactive business life.

Drs. Hagan and Kurtz were summonedto examine the unfortunate man, andafter a thorough, observation and exam-ination adjudged him insane, and hewas ordered committed to the asylumfor the insane at Stockton.

In their certificate, the physiciansstate that the evideuce Of his brother,J. M. Witmer, his sister, Mrs. Mary A.Lewis, his physician, I)r. J. W. Hunt,and that of his brother-in-law, Mr.Lewis, shows that he wants to go aboutwithout clothiDg, and refuses to be at-tended to. Also that he is veryviolent at times, and is deeplydepressed by some business matter, thenature of which lie refuses to reveal toany one, and which appears to be thecause of his insanity, which they stateis developing.

He first showed symptoms of insanityin July, 1890, and took a long trip.Four or five days ago he had an attack,and on the 28th displayed his mania.He is regarded as dangerous to himselfand others, and the commission attrib-utes the loss of his mind to a closeapplication to business. Mr. Witmer isa native of this country and is but 35years of age. He will be taken to theasylum as soon as possible, liebecameviolent several times yesterday, andrequired constant watching, three menbeing required to controi him when theattacks came on.

In an interview la6t evening withex-Sheriff J. C. Kays, who is a directorof the California bank, he stated thatMr. Witmer had not been identifiedwith the management of the bank foreighteen months past, at which time hewas tiken down with general prostra-tion caused by overwork. He left LosAngeles one year ago on a trip throughArizona, Colorado, Washington andsome of the western states, in the hopeof regaining his health. He returnedhome some six weeks ago bat little im-proved.

There were four additional examina-tions for insanity, and in each case thesufferers were committed to an institu-tion. Their names are Walter F. Ollard,Willis Stove, Max Gebhardt and JohnWoh, the latter a Chinaman.

The Cabman Was Afraid.

Mr. Walter Besant tells the followingstory of a disputed cab fare: "'A friendof mine drove from Piccadilly to someplace in the suburbs outside the radius.On getting down he tendered three shil-lings and sixpence for his fare?this wasa littleover the proper fare. The driverwanted five shillings. The passenger re-fused. 'I'd like to fight you for it,' saidthe driver. 'The very thing!" cried myfriend, who had never in his lifeput ona boxing glove, and was almost as ig-norant as Mr. Pickwick even of the fight-ing attitude. 'The very thing! Capital!We'll have the fight in the back garden,my brother willlook on, hold the stakesand see fair play.' The cabman gotdown slowly.

" 'I was pleased,' continued the nar-rator, 'to discover that he appeared al-most as much afraid as I was myself,perhaps ?if that was possible ? evenmore. He followed into the back gar-

den, where there was a lovely little bitof turf, quite large enough for practicalpurposes. I placed my five shillings inmy brother's hands, took off ray coat andwaistcoat and rolled up my sleeves, allwith an appearance of cheerful alacrity.''Now, my friend,' I said, T am ready assoon as you are.' The anxiety of themoment was, Iconfess, very great. Butit decreased as Iwatched the man's face

express successively all the emotions ofbounce, surprise, doubt, hesitation andabject cowardice. 'No,' he said, 'gimmethe three and six; I know your tricks,both of you. I've been done this waybefore.' And so, grumbling and swear-ing, he drove away."

Orange Land, with Water, $13.75 Per Acre.Special Excursion to Gila Bend, Ariz., Tuesday, Jan. 5,1892.

The Gila Bend Reservoir and irrigation company of Arizona have two hundred and fiftythousand acres of government land under their canal system subject to entry under 'he home-stead or desert land laws which can be secured at ? 13.75 per acre, Including a perpetual waterright of one inch to three acres. These lands are adapted to the r iising of citrus fruits as wellas all other products common to a semi-tropic climate. The special committee of the UnitedStates Senate, report No. 928, part 1, Ma 5, 1890, page 60, after seeing Southern Californiaand all the arid and irrigabl' regions, says of the Gila valley lands:

"Within our border there can not br found a soil so uniformly fkrtilb and socapable of varied production undkt. irrigation as that of the valleys of ths gila, saltand Santa Cruz rivers in Southern and Ckntral Arizona, analysis of this soil showsits fertile qualltie-i to be superior to that of the nile earth "

Over four thousaud acres of this Gila valley land has just been taken up by a colony ofRiverside fruit growers, which is sufficient evidence of its superiority.
