Children Swept Away
LOYALTON (Sierra Co.), November 2 - Mrs. J. LAITY,
formerly of Sacramento, was drowned last night, her husband injured and
children swept down a creek and bruised before rescued from the water, as a
result of the breaking of a bridge they were crossing in a vehicle.
Full details of the fatal accident have not yet
reached here. It occurred near the Lewis Mills early last night. As the heavily
loaded rig passed on to a bridge the structure
gave way, precipitating the LAITY family into the cold water.
Mrs. LAITY was drowned. Her husband?s leg was broken
in the fall, thus preventing him from going to the rescue of his children, who
were swept on down the stream by the swift flowing current. Fortunately they
were rescued, and it is thought no serious result will follow as far as they
are concerned.
LAITY was formerly a Southern Pacific engineer, and is
well known in Sacramento and along the road.
Attained His Majority.
AUBURN (Placer Co.), November 2 - City Trustee John
ADAMS died in this city yesterday at noon, after an illness of several
months. The deceased was prominent in
the political affairs of the county for many years past, having served as
County Recorder and Auditor and also as Assessor. He was a Trustee of this city
for several terms and was also a deputy in the County Treasurer?s office as the
time of his death. Mr. ADAMS was the
guardian and agent of Adolph WEBER during that noted criminal?s imprisonment
and trial here and conducted the financial affairs fot eh WEBER estate during
the progress of their settlement in the Probate Court.
His health was in poor condition during the latter
part of his administration of the WEBER affairs and steadily failed to the
end. He was a veteran of the Civil War.
His early years in this county were spent in fruit raising, and he died owning
an orchard between this place and Newcastle.
The funeral will be held from his home here to-morrow.
His wife and several grandchildren survive him.
parents near Rockville, was shot and seriously wounded
Tuesday evening by a
boy named FROST. Just how the shooting occurred has
not been learned, other
than that the BROOKS boy says young FROST aimed to
shoot him, and FROST says
it was an accident.
The shooting
was done with a 22 rifle. The bullet entered the right shoulder near the
shoulder blade, passed through just below the bones in the shoulder and lodged
in the muscles in front. Dr. S.G. BRANSFORD cut the missile out and dressed the
wound. If blood poisoning does not set in the lad will quickly recover.
jail at Fairfield
two weeks ago are now at liberty. They are Arthur WISE and George W.
HULL. They were the ringleaders. As told
in The Bee, William SCHULTZ gave himself up at Denverton, and following that
George H. DAVIS and H.T. DUNN were captured in the valley.
Wednesday afternoon for the first time in three
months, or since his fall from the buggy, in which accident his hip was badly
injured. The Major looked wonderfully spry after such an (not legible) ordeal.
It will be only a few days until the veteran grain merchant is well and hearty
as ever.
WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), November 2 - Miss Mary BULLOCK, a
former Woodland girl,
and J.W. DeMERRITT were married yesterday in Trinity
Church, San Francisco.
Have Been Intoxicated
EUREKA (Humboldt Co.), November 2 - The overland
stage, running from Moody to Westport, went over the grade early Sunday evening,
with the result that Harry HOLLENBER, one of the passengers, sustained injuries
from which he died two hours later. News of the fatal accident has just reached
here. According to the account sent, the
stage left Kenny Sunday afternoon at 3 o?clock, and was due at John Ninas?,
about a mile this side of Ural, at 6 o?clock. Not arriving at the scheduled
hour, NINAS telephoned to Kenny and found that the stage had left there on
time. He immediately suspected that something had gone amiss and started up the
road, finding the overturned vehicle about a mile distant from his place.
HOLLENBER had been crushed beneath the stage when it
went over the embankment and seeing that he was in a critical condition, he was
moved to NINAS? place, where he succumbed to his injuries. The deceased was a
resident of Westport, where he had lived about thirty years, and was returning
home when the accident happened. He was about 60 years of age. The driver of the stage, Henry HARPER, it is
claimed, was intoxicated. He was injured, but not seriously and the horses and
stage escaped with but little damage.
NORTH BLOOMFIELD (Nevada Co.), November 2 - H. WATSON,
of this place, who is
working in the Gold Bank tunnel near Graniteville, had
a narrow escape from
being blown to atoms by dynamite at the tunnel
Wednesday. WATSON was engaged
in thawing out twenty sticks of the explosive, and had
placed part of it in a coal oil can partly full of hot water. After placing the
powder in the can he went to the water jug about twenty-five feet away to get a
drink. Just as he stooped to pick up the jug the explosion occurred, hurling
him to the ground, and caving the tunnel in. Mr. WATSON says he has used powder
for a long time, but never has seen it act that way before.
Gaston Mine occurred the death of William ROWE. The
deceased for a few weeks had a bad cold, which turned into pneumonia a few days
ago. He was a native of Grass Valley, and was aged about 45 years. To mourn his
loss he leaves several relatives in Grass Valley.
Boy Has Narrow Escape From Being Crushed To Death On
Humboldt Road But Quick
Action Saves Him
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 2 - The 13-year-old son of
D.M. GILBERT, a resident on the Humboldt road, twenty miles from Chico, had a
miraculous escape from instant death beneath the wheels of a heavily laden
freight wagon. He still lives to tell the story.
GILBERT and his son were loitering along the mountain
road when the lad jumped onto the ?back-action,? of rear wagon of two, loaded
with shakes. In some manner he fell beneath the front wheel of the wagon, which
passed over his head, terribly cutting and lacerating it. Before the second
wheel could pass over him he rolled out of the way.
His father ran to the scene on hearing the screams of
the lad, expecting to find him either dead or badly mangled. On reaching him he
found the boy?s head bleeding profusely, but otherwise he was uninjured. He was
quickly brought to this city and given medical attendance. This is the second accident of this nature
that has occurred in Chico and vicinity during the last several weeks. A short
time ago William GRANT was run over in the streets of Chico by a wagon heavily
laden with prunes and is now rapidly recovering. Both escapes are considered
miraculous.
enlivened matters last night when he went gunning for
a cook in a Greek restaurant, with whom he previously had had trouble, and was
bested. FOLEY ordered a sandwich, and
when he had eaten it, produced a nickel as pay. This enraged the Greek, who
came from behind the counter and kicked FOLEY into unconsciousness.
The Greek was arrested, but when FOLEY refused to
swear to a complaint against him he was released.
Later, however, when FOLEY pondered over the affair,
he sought his gun, and was making a descent on the restaurant man when Officer
BURROUGHS intercepted him and placed him in jail.
An amusing part of the affair was that FOLEY wandered
into the wrong saloon, while making the search for the Greek, and struck terror
to the hearts of the owner and patrons with the flourish of his revolver.
an old and respected resident of this city, died
yesterday at her home at the corner of Fifth and Flume Streets at the age of 79
years, from the infirmities of old age. Deceased had been ill only three or
four days. Margaret DILLON was born in
Limerick, Ireland, in 1827, and came to the United States while still a young
woman. She settled in New York City. From New York she came to San Francisco,
in 1870, by way of Panama. In that city
she was married to Peter DILLON, who survives her. In 1872 she came to Chico
and had resided here continuously since. When she arrived in this city the
present City Hall was in the course of instruction and later she aided in the
building of the present Catholic Church, of which she was a lifelong and devout
member. She was childless.
The funeral will be held from the Catholic Church
to-morrow morning at 10 o?clock, Father GAULCO officiating.

217 ENTRYMEN ON LAND OFFICE LIST
Forty Dropped Out Because Applicants Ahead of
Them Secured Acreage They Wanted to File On.
REDDING (Shasta Co.), November 3
Two hundred and seventeen names of entrymen
were on the Land Office list after the rush was over Thursday evening. Two
hundred and fifty-seven land-seekers were given places in the line. The
difference between the two numbers indicates that forty dropped out when they
found that the land of their choice had been taken by some one nearer the head
of the column. More than 217 filings were made, for some entrymen filed on a
timber claim and homestead.
Thirty-nine entries of scrip were made before
the close, the scrip being found to be in proper form The scripped land lies
mostly in Siskiyou and Tehama counties, very little Shasta County land being
taken in that manner.
More timber entries than homesteads were
entered, there being forty-four of the latter and 182 of the former. In the
case of the timber claimants subdivisions as small as forty acres were taken.
There is not much timber left in this part of
the State outside of the Reserves. Many of the claims taken are not valuable
for their commercial timber, farmers and stockmen taking up the timber areas to
protect their ranges and to furnish firewood for domestic use.
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 2 -
The erstwhile happy family circle at the home
of John H. BOOTH, consisting of the youthful parents and two sets of twins, has
a vacancy, death having claimed one of the youngest pair, which arrived five
months ago. The mate to the one called, also a girl, is in feeble health. The
mother of the little ones is also on the sick list.
FIRST SEINING OF SALMON FOR SEASON
Day Catch Not Very Satisfactory, But Night
Operations Give Much Better Results.
BAIRD (Shasta Co.), November 3 -
The crew of the United States Fishery at this
place made the first seining of salmon yesterday afternoon; the first attempt
to gather eggs from the Winter run. The fish are appearing in great numbers. It
was expected that the heavy rain would rile the water and drive the trout
farther upstream above the racks to the seining grounds.
The first catch yesterday was not very
satisfactory as to numbers, but better returns were obtained last night. Two
arc lights on the river bank illuminate the fishing ground so that the seining
crew can see to work. Salmon are not so shrewd by electric light as they are by
daylight. In the daytime many of them swim around the ends of the sein and
avoid capture. Within a week, at the farthest, the season will be in full swing.
Thirty-two million eggs were taken here last
season. Better returns are expected this season, for last Summer’s run was
almost a failure because the high water of May and June took out the racks and permitted
thousands of fish to escape downstream before spawning was over.
ISAAC GLAZIER DEAD
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 3
Through a letter from Germany the Hebrew
Benevolent Association of this city has been apprised (SIC) of the death of
Isaac GLAZIER, an old member, who at one time was the leading cigar dealer of
Marysville. In his will GLAZIER bequeathed to the relief society the sum of
$500. GLAZIER was in business at the corner of Second and D streets for many
years and was succeeded by M.A. MARCUSE, who still has the stand.
SNOW AND RAIN UP IN THE MOUNTAINS
NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), November 3 -
The first snow of the season is reported
above this city. Yesterday morning a heavy fall was noted at Gaston and last
night the “beautiful” was falling softly as far down as Blue Tent. A message
was received from the Herkimer Mine in Sierra County that five inches fell
there during the day. At Graniteville six inches were recorded.
In this section rain fell during the day and
for and for a greater portion of the night. The air was very cold. Indications
are good for a continuance of the storm.
That it will work good is attested by
statements of Chicago Park Fruit growers, who are clearing land for trees and
vines. They hope for a heavy rain, in which event the soil will loosen
sufficiently to enable the manzanita and other brush to be pulled out by the
roots by a pair of horses. This is the usual method employed in clearing land
of this nature in the Park section. Later, when a dry spell sets in, the brush
is burned.
DYING OF PNEUMONIA AT GOLDFIELD CAMP
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 3 -
A dispatch was received here yesterday
afternoon from Goldfield, Nevada, stating that James McLACHLAN of this city is
dying of pneumonia. His wife left Berkeley last evening, but it is feared she
will arrive too late.
McLACHLAN recently staked out half a dozen
claims at the new camp of Golden Arrow, where a rich strike was made a short
time ago. Then he returned here and after transacting some business left again
for the desert to take steps to work his property. On arriving at Goldfield he
was stricken with pneumonia. He has resided here for years and is well known as
a miner.
FIRST SNOW STORM OF SEASON IS EARLY
TRUCKEE (Nevada Co.), November 3 -
The first snowstorm of the season took place
yesterday afternoon, and all the mountain tops that can be seen from this place
are white with snow. Samuel CUPPLES, Roadmaster for the Southern Pacific
Company, reported that there was four inches of snow lying on the ground at the
summit. The storm continued until midnight. Last year the first storm of the
Fall season was on November 18th. It continued for three days,
snowing and raining, the ground being covered with about a foot of snow.
MRS. CASEY DIES
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 3 -
News has been received of the death of Mrs.
Winifred CASEY, an old-time resident of this county and relict of the late
Peter CASEY. The couple formerly resided in Rose Bar Township. Mrs. CASEY was a
native of Ireland, aged 70 years. Two daughters, Mrs. Nels HOLT, of Chico, and
Mrs. James McWILLIAMS, of this city - and four sons - John J. and P.H. CASEY,
of Browns Valley; Wm. CASEY of Idaho, and F.H. CASEY, of Erie, this county -
are the surviving relatives.
SHASTA MAN DIES
LODI (San Joaquin Co.), November 3 -
A.A. RICE passed away yesterday shortly after
1 o’clock at his late residence on Pine Street. Mr. RICE, with his family, has
resided here only a year, having been old residents of Cottonwood, Shasta
County. He has been an invalid for the past ten years, a sufferer from heart
trouble and other complications. He leaves a wife and son and daughter to mourn
his loss. He was aged 74 years, 10 months and 27 days. The funeral was held
this afternoon.
PROFESSOR WICKSON ON CHICO MEETING
BERKELEY, November 3 -
Professor E.J. WICKSON, Dean of the
Agricultural College, announced to-day that the success of the joint meetings
held in Berkeley last January by the California Teachers’ Association and the Farmers’
Institute department of the University is apparently to be duplicated when the
same combination is made at Chico on November 14, 15 and 16 and in Fresno in
December.
The California Teachers’ Association will
hold its next convention at Fresno during Christmas week, and President VAN
LIEW has arranged with Professor WICKSON for joint meetings of farmers and
teachers in connection with that convention and programs will be announced in
due time. The first assemblies of that kind will, however, be held in
co-operation with the Northern California teachers’ Association, which will
hold its convention at Chico on November 14, 15 and 16 under the leadership of
President A.B. ANDERSON. The Farmers’ Institute will be held in co-operation
with the section of nature studies and elementary agriculture.
HAD BOGUS CHECK
NANA (Napa Co.), November 3 -
A.B. CARSE presented a check for $15 to
Constable George SECORD yesterday and asked him to cash it. In being refused,
CARSE went around town for several hours and made frequent endeavors to pass
the check on various merchants and saloon-keepers, all of whom had refused him.
The check was drawn on the Bank of Calistoga, and SECORD being confident that a
fictitious name was signed to it, telephoned to the bank of Calistoga and
received a reply yesterday afternoon to the effect that there was no account in
the bank to the name written on the check. CARSE was arrested.
FELL FROM BUILDING
LODI (San Joaquin Co.), November 3 -
J.S. BURDGE, a carpenter in the employ of
Contractor F.J. BEATY, was severely injured yesterday by falling from a
building on which he was at work. It was while he was descending a ladder
leading from the roof of the building that he became dizzy and fell, breaking
his collar bone and injuring himself otherwise. Mr. BURDGE is a man of about 63
years, and his age will go somewhat against his recovering soon.
THROWN INTO ROAD
MANTON (Tehama Co.), November 3 -
Roy DAVIS, who was hauling lumber along the
road below here yesterday, was thrown to the ground by the breaking of an axle
and suffered a number of severe injuries. He was unable to help himself and lay
in the road five hours, until the stage came along. He was then picked up and
brought here. He will recover.
DIES AT
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 3 -

little is known of his antecedents.
SKULL FRACTURED
COTTONWOOD (Shasta Co.), November 3 -
Orrin TIPTON, who lives about fourteen miles
from here, was thrown from a horse yesterday afternoon. His skull was
fractured, and he lay unconscious until 11 o’clock last night, when searchers
found him. He was taken to Redding this morning and the doctors say he will
recover.
ADMIRAL TO STAY
VALLEJO (Solano Co.), November 3 -
Rear Admiral LYON, Commandant of the Mare
Island Navy Yard, denies the report that has obtained circulation that he is to
be ordered East and will leave here in January. He expects to remain as
Commandant.
SUPERIOR CALIFORNIA NEWS
Is Wanted At Santa Rosa to Answer Ugly
Charge, and was a Fugitive From Justice When Caught.
SUISUN (Sonoma Co.), November 3 - The man captured
here Thursday under the name of Edward GETTS, as told in The Bee, turns out to
be Charles HARRINGTON, and in taking him in Constable DOWNING made no mistake.
He is the man Sonoma officers wanted on a charge of rape.
HARRINGTON, it appears, gave Constable
BOSWELL of Santa Rosa, the slip. When that officer placed him under arrest
Wednesday night he asked permission to step into an adjoining room and change
his coat. It was granted, and he never came back. He was searched for that
night, but not found. The next morning it was learned he had boarded a train at
Melitta, and then word was sent out to various towns, including Suisun.
For some time past the man had been suspected
of the crime, and was being watched, but no evidence could be obtained against
him. His victim is said to be one of the little girls who attempted to run away
to Caldwell, Idaho, on Tuesday, and who were brought back to Santa Rosa
Wednesday evening. In the “sweating” process by Assistant District Attorney
Rolfe L. THOMPSON, Chief of Police RUSHMORE and Officer I.N. LINDLEY, the girl
is alleged to have admitted what the officers suspected. Harrington is a man of
past thirty years of age, and his alleged victim is only 12 years of age.
For some time past the man has been taking
both the little girls out riding and being familiar with them, according to
their statements, and he even took them to adjacent cities late at night. The
warrant for his arrest was sworn to before Justice A.J. ATCHINSON.
SUSANVILLE (Lassen Co.), November 3 - In
spite of the fact that seven out of the twenty-one precincts in Lassen County
show a decrease in registration, the printed index in the Great Register for
1906 shows a gain of eighty-four over that of 1904. Susanville shows ten less
than two years ago. The total for this year is 1190, and it is claimed by those
who seem to know that many voters in Lassen County did not take the trouble to
register this Fall, or this number would be materially increased. There are
sixty-two new voters registered this year.
STANDISH (Lassen Co.), November 3 - W.H.H.
FULLER, of this place, died here Wednesday night of pneumonia and was taken to
Susanville for burial Friday.
Nothing is known of his early life, except
that he was a native of New York and served as a Union Soldier in the Civil
War. He had lived in Honey Lake Valley the past fourteen years, and was a
prominent member of the G.A.R., under whose auspices he was buried.
Modoc and Lassen Feel That Their Big Neighbor
Does Not Allow Them Fair Representation
SUSANVILLE (Lassen Co.), November 3 - N.A.
CORNISH, of Alturas, candidate for Assemblyman of the Republican ticket, is
about the only candidate in these parts who has other than a personal issue in
the campaign. He has made a thorough canvas on the following issue:
This Assembly District is composed of Lassen,
Modoc and Shasta Counties, and Shasta having more votes than the combined votes
of Lassen and Modoc, has for years succeeded in controlling the situation. The
Shastaites nominate alternately from either party and then vote without regard
to party lines and elect their man. This year, Cornish points out, Shasta has
nominated a Democrat and the people there, irrespective of party, are doing all
they can to defeat Cornish in that county. It they succeed, Modoc and Lassen
will be again deprived of representation in the Assembly.
Lassen and Modoc have practically identical
interests but differ greatly from Shasta in those interests. Forbearance now ceases
to be a virtue, and the time has come to call a halt, says CORNISH.
The plan is to pursue one of two courses to
break Shasta’s monopoly on the office and secure a fair degree of
representation for Modoc and Lassen. The first is to place Lassen and Modoc in
a district by themselves, giving them an Assemblyman jointly, and making Shasta
County an Assembly District by itself. This would prove the more satisfactory
way, but may not be possible as it would increase the number of Assemblymen.
The second method is to have a law passed
which would provide for a rotation of Assemblymen: that is, requiring an
Assemblyman to be elected alternately from each county. The first say, from
Lassen; two years later from Modoc, and two years later from Shasta County. The
law would make only residents of Lassen eligible to office of Assemblyman the
first election. Modoc County residents the second election, and Shasta County
residents the third election. The office would continue to rotate in this order
in the future. No legal barriers arise, and the plan would give equal
representation to all three counties.
Mr. CORNISH promises if elected to do his
utmost to put through a measure like one of these if possible and calls upon
the Republicans and Democrats alike to help elect him. Probably, when the
Shasta voters hear of his plan, it will not, to say the least, help CORNISH in
that part of the district, but he hopes to unite the Republicans and Democrats
in Lassen and Modoc Counties and succeed in being elected. The population is
increasing so rapidly in Shasta that should the plan fail this Fall in all
probability things will continue as they are for many years to come.
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 3 - The
engagement of Miss Isador KNIGHT to Burtis HAGEMAN, both of Stirling City has
been announced. Both parties are well and favorably known. The bride-to-be is
the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene KNIGHT of Stirling City, and is a
graduate of the Chico Normal School. She has successfully taught in the
Stirling City Schools and is an accomplished young woman. Mr. HAGEMAN came to
Stirling City about one year ago from New York and has charge of the drug
department of the Stirling City Mercantile Company’s store at that place.
ALTURAS (Modoc Co.), November 3 – Large
quantifies of vegetables are being brought into Alturas this week by the Goose
Lake farmers. Owing to the cold Winters in this section it is necessary for
everyone to stock his Winter vegetables in underground cellars. For this reason
after the cold weather sets in it is almost impossible to obtain these articles
on the market, as it is dangerous to open up the cellars. Large numbers of
apples are also appearing, although the predictions last Spring were that this
fruit would be very scarce.
REDDING (Shasta Co.), November 3 - Three
marriage licenses were issued this week, the couples receiving them being:
Clarence C. HARDWICK, 27, and Irene M. KRAMER, 17, both of Redding; Walter
__AFFORD, 21, Whitmore, and Oreill MARCH, 18, Millville; O.R. VINCENT, 24, and
Essie E. SMITH, 16, both of Coram.
Florendine L. GALLE has begun a suit to
obtain divorce from Romanus GALLE.
OROVILLE, November 3 - Rather more than the
usual number of marriage licenses were issued form the County Clerk’s office
this week. They were as follows: Fred VEST aged 24, and Isabel BROWN, aged 22,
both of Chico; William Chas. WOLFF, aged 22, and Minnie A. WICKMANN, aged 20,
both of Gridley; Albert H. MILLER, aged 25, and May Alice MITCHELL, aged 20,
both of Chico; George H. STREIPE, aged 25, and Katherine QUIGLEY, aged 23; D.G.
GILLESPIE, aged 24, and Mamie A. ROSS, aged 20, both of Oroville; Howard R.
BOYLE, aged 22, of Magalia, and Agnes GROVES, aged 20, of Pentz; Harry Scott
LITTLE, aged 24, of Sheridan, and Mamie SANBORN, aged 22, of Oroville
An interlocutory decree of divorce was
granted Eva M. GULICK from John GULICK and a suit for divorce was brought by
Mrs. Lottie PERRY of Magalia, against A.A. PERRY.
WOODLAND, November 3 - The following marriage
license was issued yesterday: William Webb McGOWAN, age 31, of Oakland, and
Tillie A. ROGERS, age 22, of Davis.
MARYSVILLE, November 3 - Only one marriage
license was issued in Yuba County this week, a Gridley couple saving a
whitewash. The names of the happy couple are Joseph B. JOHNSON and Matilda M.
MILLER.
Lester G. MOON and Miss Luella J. ADDINGTON
have procured a license in Sutter County.
Frank WATERBURY and Mrs. Clara MEYERS, both
of this city, were married in Napa at noon, to-day.
COLUSA, November 3 - The following marriage
licenses have been issued for the week ending November 2d: Jas. H. BELL, native
of California, aged 22, to Pearl SITES, native of California, aged 19, both
residents of Sites; C.M. HARLAN, aged 23, native of California, to Lena J.
MILLSAPS, native of California, aged 20, residents of Stonyford; Henry KRAFT,
native of California, aged 34, to Mary E. SIMPSON, native of California, aged
30, both residents near Maxwell.
These are the first licenses to be issued in
this county for sixty days.
GRASS VALLEY, November 3 - Only two marriages
were ______ in this part of the county for the week just ending. Daniel BALDWIN
gave his friends a surprise by quietly slipping away to Sacramento, where he
met his affianced, Miss Louisa CLEA, who came from Omaha, Nebraska. They were
married immediately. Mr. and Mrs. BALDWIN have returned to make this city their
home. At Nevada City Mrs. Rebecca McLAUGHLIN became the bride of George ALPERS.
The event was solemnized by Father CLYNE of St. Canice’s Catholic Church, They
will reside at Willow Valley.
MILFORD (Lassen Co.), November 3 - Tuesday
night Roy HARWOOD and Howard DOYLE, boys about 15 or 14 years of age, believing
Hallowe’en had arrived, visited the place owned by Charles BROCKMAN and while
engaged in removing some wagons and buggies owned by him were fired upon by the
owner of the property.
Both were injured, young HARWOOD, it was at
first thought, critically, by the shot from the gun.
Mr. BROCKMAN fired to frighten the boys but
miscalculated with the above result.
Dry Pasturage in About Gone and Before Green Grass
Appears Cattle and Sheep Will Suffer
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 3 - The
scarcity of feed is causing the cattlemen of this county grave concern. The dry
pasturage will last but a shot time, and the claim is made that before
sufficient green grass appears havoc will have been played with the
herds.
Frank R. WILLIAMS, a prominent cattleman,
yesterday stated that before next Spring many head of cattle would perish. Some
of the big owners are now pasturing their stock in Sutter county, but will be
driven out as soon as the Winter floods sweep over the tule lands.
All attempts to rent feeding grounds in the
valley for Winter have proved futile, as every acre has already been taken.
Last Winter the raisers of cattle met with heavy loss owing to the
long-continued dry spell.
Hay is steadily climbing in price, and as the
farmers cut but a small crop last Spring, they will be compelled to ship in the
baled product to tide them through the Winter. It is said hay will soon sell
here for $30 per ton.
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 3 - Hugh McERNEY,
for three years a real estate agent in this city, died here yesterday after
several months’ illness from tuberculosis. He was born near Detroit, Michigan,
and was 45 years of age at the time of his death. From Detroit he moved to
California, locating at San Francisco at the age of 21. He remained in that
city for about ten years and then located in Los Angeles, engaging in the real
estate business. Three years ago he came to this city and handled real estate
in connection with his managership of the Bidwell free reading-room, an
institution supported by Mrs. A.E.K. BIDWELL of this city. He leaves a wife.
The funeral will be held from the house Sunday afternoon, Rev. W.G .WHITE of
the Presbyterian Church, officiating.
TRUCKEE (Nevada Co.), November 3 - The
Loyalton dispatch in last night’s Bee telling of the accident near the Lewis
mill, in which Mrs. J. T. LAITY lost her life and her husband suffered a broken
leg and other injuries... (rest of article cut off)

Man and Woman Thrown From Buggy Down Bank But Horses
Dash on to Meet Death
on Railroad Track
KESWICK (Shasta Co.), November 6 - Two horses were
killed on the railroad last evening by being struck by a northbound freight at
a point 300 yards down the track from the wagon road crossing.
The team was being drawn to a buggy by Charles ODEILL. The horses, becoming
frightened and uncontrollable, made a sharp turn at the forks of the road,
upset the buggy, and Mr. and Mrs. ODEILL were sent rolling down a 40-boot bank
to a sandbar in Spring Creek.
The frightened animals, freed from the vehicle, ran
down the road towards the Sacramento River bridge. Coming to the east approach
of the bridge, they strangely took down the railroad instead of keeping on
their way across the river.
They ran at least 200 years down the track when both
were struck by the locomotive and killed. They belonged to A. MERRILL, of
Redding. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. ODEILL was
injured particularly.
Electric Company
SAN FRANCISCO, November 6 - The Supreme Court heard
arguments yesterday which involve the fight of a substitute Judge to take part
in the reconsideration of any case with which he has not bee n connected. At the time the case of REEVE against the
Colusa Gas and Electric Company was decided, Justice McFARLAND, of the Supreme
Court, was sick, and Justice HARRISON, of the District Court of Appeal, was
appointed to take his place. Later, when
Justice McFARLAND had returned to his duties, the Supreme Court granted a
rehearing of the case on the petition of the defendants, who had lost the
original suit.
The plaintiffs contend that this action was not legal
on the ground that Justice McFARLAND was not familiar with the reasons upon
which was based the original decision.
Similar cases have been known in various States, but
the decisions are so varied that it is deemed difficult to accept them as
guides. John GARBER made an eloquent plea yesterday for the plaintiff, while
G.W. MeENERNEY and W.B. TREADWELL argued in behalf of the defendants. The rehearing of the case cannot proceed
until after the question concerning the right of Justice McFARLAND is settled.
The decision in the latter case will probably he settled by the Supreme Court
in a few days.

little bit. He is very much alive at Salt Lake and his
girl-wife in this city is just as happy now as she was unhappy last Saturday
and Sunday. Yesterday she received a
short letter from her husband stating that he had reached Salt Lake in safety,
and had not stopped off at Reno, as he first intended. As soon as he obtains
employment he will send for his wife and babe.
came here from Chico, was sentenced to five months in
the County Jail by Judge BROWN yesterday for beating his bride of five months.
The girl was married to MORRIS against the wishes of her parents in San
Francisco. After repeated ill-treatment she left him. Saturday night MORRIS
appeared at her home in this city, in the absence of her father, and after
knocking out several of the girl?s teeth, attempted to stab her with a
scissors. Mrs. MORRIS is a graduate of
the Vallejo High School, and an accomplished musician. Her family is one of the
most respected in this city.
McDOWELL, of this place, met with a very serious and
painful accident a little time ago. While attempting to leave the house yard of
her son?s home, the gate dividing the yard from the adjoining field fell upon
her with crushing force. She was thrown to the ground and her hip broken. She was picked up as soon as possible, and
taken to the house after which medical assistance was summoned. Being 85 years
of age the chances are against the break healing property. Mrs. McDOWELL is one
of the oldest pioneers of Modoc. She crossed the plains in early days. The town
of Adin, this county, bears the first
name of Mrs. McDOWELL?s late husband.
Boy?s Thumb And Hand May Follow, While Arm Is Swollen
And Body Badly Burned
REDDING (Shasta Co.), November 6 - Raymond SCHUCHERT,
the boy who came to
nearly being electrocuted Sunday evening, as told in
The Bee of Monday, has been operated upon by the surgeons who were called in
attendance. They found it necessary to amputate three fingers of the left hand
at the base joints. It is feared that
the thumb will have to come off later and a portion of the palm also, for the
electric current that caused the burns killed the nerves and deadened the
circulation, to a certain extent. Electrical burns are the worst of all, the
physicians say.
Several burns or blisters were found on other parts of
the body. A bad wound is on the leg, where the tin bucket the boy carried in
his hands probably came in contact with the body at the moment of the shock.
The left arm is swollen double its normal size. The right hand is in bad shape
and the lad will be fortunate if he does not lose a portion of that member in
the process of healing.

Singularly, too, the lineman had repaired a break at the identical spot earlier
in the day.
WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), November 6 - Chancellor SMITH and
Miss Vita ROBINSON,
two popular young people of Willows, slipped away from
relatives and friends on Saturday night to the home of Rev. C.R. ALDRIDGE, and were
married in the presence of only the necessary witnesses. They had arranged with
the County Clerk?s to get the license after office hours and when they secured
the precious document they went immediately to the pastor?s house. The secret
was so carefully guarded that many did not know of the wedding until yesterday
when the contented smile of the groom caused his friends to ask questions.

SUPERIOR CALIFORNIA NEWS
Efforts of Enemies to Make Office Elective
Fails When Brought Before the City Board of Trustees.
VALLEJO (Solano Co.), November 9 - The efforts
of the enemies of Chief of Police STANFORD to secure his scalp by having an
amendment submitted at the coming Charter election to make this office an
elective one has been defeated by the Board of City Trustees, who are violently
opposed to such innovation.
The petition was illegally drawn, and it is
now too late to get up another one.
Stanford has been at the head of the local
Police Department for eight years, and has made a reputation for himself as a thief-catcher
far beyond the borders of Solano County. He is scrupulously honest, plays no
favorites, and has made many enemies. His friends, on the other hand, are of
the kind who would go the limit for him, and are rejoicing that he will not be
put to the trouble of making a campaign at a municipal election.
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 9 - The
first arrest in years for attempting to carry away specimen ore from a mine in
this district occurred here yesterday afternoon when H.L. DEEBLE, a young man
employed at the Empire Mine, was taken into custody, the complaint being sworn
to by George W. STARR, Superintendent of the mine.
DEEBLE, it is alleged, was apprehended by a
shift boss as he was passing through one of the drifts with a piece of rock
under his arm. The matter was reported immediately to Mr .STARR, who took
prompt action. The value of the rock is given at about $20.
The miner was taken before Judge FRANK and
pleaded not guilty to a charge of petit larceny. No date has been set for his
trial. The piece of ore is held as evidence. In mining circles, it has been the
customary habit to simply release an employe caught carrying away
ore.
To the credit of the miners here, it must be
said that very few instances of this nature have occurred. The employe accused
has always borne an excellent reputation and his arrest comes as a great
surprise. He is out on a bail bond of $250.
WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), November 9 - Mrs. George
HODGE died at her home in this city last night. She was a native of California,
48 years of age. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and of the
Eastern Star. Her husband, two sons and two daughters survive her.
GREENVILLE (Plumas Co,), November 9 - The
first quarterly conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will be held here
on Saturday and Sunday, November 10th and 11th, the
business meeting taking place, on Saturday afternoon.
Rev. George C. KING, of Reno, Nev., assisted
by Rev. J.R .GREGORY, pastor in charge of the local church, will officiate. The
two clergymen will conduct services on Sunday at, respectively, Taylorville,
Crescent Mills and Greenville.
A goodly attendance is expected at the
conference meetings in Greeneville, as the weather, which has been very stormy
for nearly two weeks, has suddenly cleared up, and travel and traffic has been
resumed.
WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), November 9 - As a result
of the celebration of the Emperor’s birthday last Sunday, a Japanese by the
name of M. INONGE is in the County Jail charged with assault with a deadly
weapon. DOLZAKI, the Jap assaulted, is at the Sanitarium with an ugly cut
across his back near the shoulder, about three inches long. The fight occurred
near Nelson’s bridge, on Cache Creek. Constable PARKER made the arrest
yesterday.
GREENVILLE (Plumas Co.), November 9 - The egg
famine is a stern reality in the intermountain country. Ranchmen of Indian
Valley have been selling off their poultry to the construction camps of the
Western Pacific and what few here are left have pretty much gone on a strike.
Eggs are not to be had in Greenville for love or money. It is now feared that
unless poultry is brought in from the outside that there will be no turkey or
rooster for Thanksgiving.
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 9 - The only
question now in the contest for Railroad Commissioner from this District is the
size of A.C. IRWIN’s vote over that given C.E. PETERS. IRWIN is one of the
best-known residents of this city. His opponent resides in Placerville.
Up to last night Irwin’s plurality as far as
them known was as follows: Butte (estimated), 600; Lassen, 12 precincts, 73;
Napa (estimated), 700; Nevada, 60; Placer, 29 precincts, 240; Sacramento, 398;
Siskiyou, 36 precincts, 100; Solano (estimated), 300; Sonoma (estimated), 700;
Sutter, 201; Tehama, 20 precincts, 127; Yuba, 375.
Peter’s pluralities; Colusa, 473; El Dorado ,
113: Glenn, 194: Yolo, 3 precincts to hear from, 9.
There are twenty-eight counties in the
district. Of those not given above eight four years ago gave Irwin a plurality
over HASSETT, then his opponent, of 3059, and four gave Hassett a plurality of
309.
Irwin’s vote will be very large.
LAMOINE (Shasta Co.), November 9 - A stranger
named GRIFFIN was found sitting upright and dead yesterday morning in front of
A.H. ROOT’s place of business north of the depot. Griffin, whose first name is
not known, came here last Friday from Sims, where he had been employed in the
sawmill. He had been drinking very heavily ever since he came to Lamoine and
alcoholism was the cause of his passing away. He was aged about 40 years.
Coroner BASSETT was notified early in the day, but he was unable to come from
Redding until the evening train. All day long the body of the dead was left in
the position in which it was found at daylight.
YUBA CITY (Sutter Co.), November 9 - Dr. E.V.
JACOBS, of Meridian, has again failed to secure a franchise for a telephone
system in this county. Previously he was outbid by agents of the Sunset
Company, but yesterday there was no bidding.
It was provided that all bids must be filed
with the County Clerk on or before 10 o’clock yesterday morning, but no bids
were so filed. Singularly enough the Supervisors were on hand promptly at the
hour for the transaction of such business as came before them, and there was
also present an agent of the Sunset people, Jack STAFFORD, of Sacramento.
It was moved without loss of time that as
there were no bids before the Board the matter should be declared off. This was
done.
Five minutes after Attorney HEWITT,
representing JACOBS, came in with his bid. He was told the matter was off, and
though he protested, reconsideration was denied. The Sunset won again.
DIXON (Solano Co.), November 9 - B.F. NEWBY
will assume charge of the Post Office here next Monday. He received his
commission some days ago, but concluded to wait until after the election before
taking charge of the office. His predecessor, E.J.McBRIDE, will remove to San
Francisco, where he will engage in business. His family has been in the city
for a year.
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 9 -Mrs.
Johanna SKEHAN, who for many years was a resident of French Corral, in Nevada
County, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank POOLS, in this city at 5
o’clock last evening, aged 63 years.
The surviving relatives are a son, Thomas Ryan,
of Marysville, and five daughters, Mrs. J.E. WALSH, of Auburn; Mrs. Frank
POOLS, of Marysville, and Misses Kathryn, Tessie an Celia SKEHAN, also of this
city. The burial will take place in Grass Valley. Deceased was well known
throughout Yuba and Nevada counties.
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 9 - Pat CASEY
is booked at the police station on a charge of burglary. He was found by the
officers last evening on C Street offering for sale a lot of wearing apparel,
and was taken in on suspicion. An hour later two lodgers from the Palm House
reported that their rooms had been burglarized. Investigation proved that it
was their clothing that Casey was offering for sale. Officers BURROUGHS and
McCOY are now trying to locate a camera that Casey disposed of before he was
arrested. He had dealings with a secondhand store before he was apprehended.
SUSANVILLE (Lassen Co.), November 9 - George
LONG has placed a 40-horsepower steam auto-car on the stage line owned by him
between here and Doyle to connect with the N.C. & O railway. About four
hours of cold ride by night on coming in and as many in the morning on going
out is saved by this new departure. The car carries five passengers, bur no
heavy baggage.
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 9 - Two Chico
parties have surprised their friends by leaving Chico and returning benedicts.
Frederick A. BENNETT, son of Mr. and Mrs. D.A. BENNETT, of this city, was
married to Miss Alice Cornelia BURNHAM at the home of the bride’s mother in San
Francisco on Wednesday. The groom is a well-known young man of Chico, where he
has spent the greater part of his life and received his education. He is at
present in charge of the Hamilton Land Company’s office at Hamilton City. The
bride is a niece of Mr. BURNHAM, of the Pacific Sugar Construction Company, and
a sister of Mrs. E.E. PARKER. The newly married couple will make their future
home at Hamilton City.
The other party is George SWEENEY, employed
by the Baker-William Company of this city. He returns from Yreka, where he was
married to Miss Essie MORGAN by Father O’MARA. They will reside in Chico for
the future.
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 9 -
Uncertainty regarding the Coroner’s office still prevails. Only an official
count can determine whether GILL of HOCKING has won out. The report that a
mistake of ten had been made at Gaston in adding up the returns proves to be
without foundation, but errors have been discovered in other precincts which
only serve to add to the complexity of the situation. Both candidates have
figured out that they are elected by a few votes, but until the Supervisors
meet and canvass the returns nothing definite will be known. Last night
indications seemed to favor Gill by one vote. Hocking had also figured out that
the returns gave him two or three to the good.
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 9 - This
afternoon the body of the late James McLACHLAN was consigned to the grave, the
Knights of Pythias and the American Order of Foresters having charge of the
services. The body arrived yesterday from Goldfield, where death occurred from
an attack of pneumonia. It was accompanied by the widow, who reached Goldfield
before the end came. McLACHLAN was a mining man, and for over twenty years had
resided here. He was on his way to Golden Arrow, where he had a number of
claims staked out, when he was stricken. He was a native of Lanarkshire,
Scotland ,aged 62 years.
BENICIA (Solano Co.), November 9 - Joseph
RYERSON, the son of a Benicia pioneer, committed suicide in San Francisco
yesterday by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. He was
committed to an insane asylum some years ago and since his discharge as cured
has repeatedly threatened the life of his brother, whom he fancied had wronged
him in the distribution of the estate.
LODI (San Joaquin Co.), November 9 - Miss
Grace CALDWELL, of this place, was married yesterday to Arthur W. STONE of
Stockton. Not long ago, Miss Caldwell’s older sister married an older brother
of Stone’s who is a wealthy farmer in the northern part of the State. The
wedding was a quiet affair, the couple immediately departing for their honeymoon.
REDDING (Shasta Co.), November 9 - Mrs. Kate
BRINCAID, Democrat and incumbent of County Superintendent’s office, concedes
that Miss Lulu WHITE of Redding has defeated her for re-election. The exact
majority for Miss WHITE is not known, but the majority is a safe one.
Former Marysville (Cal.) Man and Visalia Girl
Interrupt Court Proceedings to Head Off Pursuit
RENO (Nev.), November 9 - Rushing into the
Court of Judge BELL while he was examining a man charged with attempted murder,
Herbert M. ALDERMAN and Miss Pearl GOOCH, young people of Visalia, Cal.,
requested that he marry them.
The Court advised them to sit down and not
further interrupt the proceedings, but when the bride, a decidedly pretty young
woman, implored him to lose no time, he adjourned Court until the ceremony
could be performed. District Attorney MORAN and State Senator BOYD, who was
defending the case, acted as witnesses.
The young people ran away from Visalia ten days ago, and have been busy eluding the bride’s parents ever since. (Rest of article cut off)

TWO BOYS SHOT BY YOUTH THEY JOSHED.
In Fit of Anger, Robert Benson turns gun on
Louis and John Raggio, Fatally Wounding Both.
STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), November 8 -
In a heat of anger over taunt as to his
marksmanship, Robert BENSON, a 15-year-old Homestead youth, Tuesday evening
fatally shot John and Louis RAGGIO, two brothers aged 12 and 14 years, with a
single-barrel shotgun.
Louis Raggio, the older of the two boys,
passed away as a result of the injuries at 2 o’clock yesterday morning at the
St. Joseph’s Home. His brother cannot live.
The Benson boy went shooting Tuesday and upon
returning in the afternoon, he came upon the two Raggio boys, who were sitting
on a fence near the road. According to the stories told the officers, the Benson
and Raggio boys had always been friends, but the Raggio boys began to josh
young Benson as to his marksmanship. It is said that the two brothers began to
taunt Benson about a dog which he had shot at and missed. They continued to
jest about the affair and Benson became greatly angered.
Reaching for a cartridge and loading his gun
the Benson boy exclaimed “I’ll show you whether I can shoot or not.” With that
he leveled his gun straight at the faces of the two boys and pulled the
trigger. With cries of pain the Raggio boys fell from the fence, and young
Benson, seeing what he had done, dropped his gun and ran home.
The force of the shot struck both boys full
in the foreheads tearing great gaping holes. A man in a field witnessed the
shooting and ran to the scene. Dr. S.N. GROSS was summoned and he at once
pronounced the wounds fatal. The boys were removed to St. Joseph’s Home for
treatment.
Deputy Sheriff BLACK and Chief BAKER
investigated the shooting. Benson was found at the home of his parents crying
in a frightened manner.
A BRAVE MAN DIES
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 8 -
Word was received here yesterday of the death
of George JOHNSTON in San Francisco. The funeral takes place to-day. Deceased
was a native of Belfast, Ireland. He came to Nevada County in the early fifties
and engaged in mercantile pursuits for a time. Then he spent several terms as
Deputy Sheriff of Placer County, with headquarters at Auburn.
Utterly fearless, cool and calculating, his
name became a terror to the highwaymen and other criminals who infested the
mountains at the time. He was engaged in many exciting and bloody man hunts, in
one of which he had a finger shot off, but pluckily kept in the battle until
the highwaymen were routed. His most noted battle was with “Rattlesnake Dick”
and his gang, in which several were killed or wounded on both sides. Leaving
the mining country, Johnston engaged in the hardware business at Pomona for a
time. Later he turned his attention to inventions, bringing out the famous FRUE
and JOHNSTON concentrators, used wherever gold mining is carried on. He also
invented other valuable mining appliances and made quite a fortune out of them.
Of late years he had resided in San Francisco. His brother, Peter, of this
city, himself a pioneer, was at his bedside when the end came.
DEATH OF A PIONEER
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), November 8 -
Captain Harry THOMAS, a pioneer of this city,
died at his home on Bank Street last night at 8:30 o’clock. Death was due to an
attack of pneumonia. Deceased was a native of Camborne, Cornwell, England, aged
87 years. He located here in the days of placer mining and by his industry
managed to accumulate a neat fortune. He built one of the handsomest brick
blocks in the city at the corner of Mill and Bank Streets, after his old wooden
buildings were destroyed by fire. One daughter, Mamie, is left. Funeral
arrangements will be made to-day.
A PATHETIC CASE
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 -
A case where a whole family is threatened
with extermination through the effects of typhoid fever germs is reported from
Sutter County.
Fred FARRINGON, of Sutter City, and his wife
have the disease in its worst stages, and the doctors have small hopes of his
recovery. The children were stricken this week, and it is feared the complaint
will develop in their cases as seriously as in the parents. An examination of
the drinking water has been ordered.
A HAPPY EVENT
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 - The home
of Mrs. H.T .COLLINS, on D Street, in this city, was the scene of a happy event
last night at 9 o’clock, at which hour her pretty and accomplished daughter,
Miss Annie E COLLINS, became the bride of William M. MEEK, son of County
Surveyor J.R. MEEK. The marriage ceremony of the Episcopal Church was conducted
by the Rev. A.L. MITCHELL, pastor of St. John’s of Marysville, in the presence
of the relatives of the young couple and a large number of invited guests. Miss
Florence COLLINS, a sister, served in the capacity of bridesmaid. The honeymoon
will be spent in the vicinity of Portland,
Oregon.
COLT IS CHARGED WITH QUEER BUSINESS
Accused By a Federal Grand Jury With Doing
Business Under Another Name and Swindling.
STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), November 8 -
William P. COLT, a well-knows resident of this
city, who was indicted by the United States Grand Jury on a charge of using the
Federal mails for fraudulent purposes, denies that he is guilty and says the
whole thing has arisen from the efforts of Attorney LEVINSKY to force him to
pay a bill of $550 that he does not owe.
He denies that he ever received the goods for
which the bill in question was rendered, and says LEVINSKY is trying ro use the
Federal Grand Jury to force him to pay a bill he does not owe.
It is charged that COLT did business with a
number of San Francisco merchants under the name of Peter CALE and that after
he succeeded in getting a bill of goods he would send them letters to the
effect that CALE had died and that his estate was in probate.
COLT was taken before United States Marshall
ELLIOTT and released on $2000 bail. He expressed great surprise when the arrest
was made. His case will come up before Judge DE HAVEN at 10 o’clock Saturday
morning.
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 -
At a dinner given at the home of Mrs. A.H
.BOULTON yesterday the engagement was announced of Miss Eva RUSSELL of this
city and Clifford GRIFFIN of San Francisco .The wedding is to take place early
in the new year. The bride-elect is a popular member of the alumnae of the
Marysville High School and a prominent member of the Christian Church. She is a
daughter of Robert RUSSELL, a well-known contractor of this city.
The groom-to-be is the manager of an
electrical company at the Bay.
WANT THE DEED FIRST
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 -
Unless a certain deed that is forthcoming
from N.D. RIDEOUT to the city of Marysville is executed this week the work
which the Northern Electric Company is pushing between Yuba City and Marysville
will come to an abrupt ending.
This is the ultimatum of the Levee
Commissioners, who declare that the levee at the intersection of Fifth and K
Streets will not be cut to permit of the building of the east end of the Fifth
Street subway until such time as the deed refereed to is in the possession of
the city authorities.
It appears that Rideout agreed last Summer
that the city would have certain lots needed for the north wall of the subway
at a nominal sum, and has ever since been promising to execute the deeds to
this land and to lots adjoining from which the earth for the embankment was
taken, but as yet has not signed the instruments. The Levee Commissioners are
firm in the stand they have taken, with the result that the Northern Electric
people are becoming worried lest there be a delay in the work they are so
anxious to rush to a finish before the Winter storms set in.
FIREMAN COX’S ESCAPE
CHICO (Butte Co.), November 8 -
O.G. COX, a fireman employed on a Northern
Electric work train, and a resident of this city, was painfully injured by
being run into by a flat car near the Oroville-Marysville Junction, five miles
this side of Oroville, last evening about dusk.
Cox, it appears, was walking down the track
and did not observe the approach of a flat car of a work train. The front end
of the flat car hit him on the side and the force of the blow threw him
headlong to the ground. His head hit on some hard object and a deep gash was
cut across his forehead. He was hurriedly brought to this city for treatment.
Luckily, the car was moving slowly at the time, and he was not fatally injured.
POISONED BY WOUND
FORT BIDWELL (Modoc Co.), November 8 -
While trying to open a bottle of orange cider
at the Republican meeting last Saturday night, Fred WALLACE ran a corkscrew
into one of his fingers. The wound did not bother him at the time, but on
Sunday morning his finger was considerably swollen. Monday morning it became so
bad that Dr. HILDERBRAND was called. It was found that blood poison had set in.
Wallace’s condition is serious.
TO PROTECT PAPERS
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 -
The members of the City Council have gone to
work in earnest to give to the municipality that which she has long been sadly
in need of - a fireproof vault for the protection of valuable papers, records,
etc. The vault will be built close to the offices of the City Marshall and City
Clerk and Assessor and will be built of reinforced concrete if the plans under
consideration are adopted.
DIED AT YOLO
WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), November 8 -
Mrs. Mary FENTON died at her home near Yolo
last night. Deceased was a native of Ireland, 79 years old. The funeral will be
held Saturday morning from the Catholic Church in this city.
ARBITRATORS FILE WAGE SCHEDULE AWARD
Dispute Between Santa Rosa Railway and
Employees Settled, Each Side Yielding a Little.
SANTA ROSA (Sonoma Co.), November 8 -
The Arbitration Commission of the differences
between the Petaluma and Santa Rosa Railway and its employees has made its
report, giving the men a slight increase in wages, and fixing the remuneration
for overtime at time and a quarter, making this an increase of 25 per cent.
The commission fixes the wages of the
conductors and motormen at 27 ½ cents per hour, which is an increase of 2 ½
cents per hour. The brakemen of the road will also receive an increase of 2 ½
cents per hour, making their wages 22 ½ cents per hour.
The employees of the electric railroad asked
that they be given thirty cents an hour, and the company is understood to have
been willing to compromise the matter and grant them 27 ½ cents without having
to submit the matter to arbitration .The employees will stand by the award of
the Commission, having agreed to submit the matters in controversy, but feel
that their demand on the company was not excessive, owing to the hours and
character of the work they are called on to perform.
WANT NEXT SESSION OF THE ASSOCIATION
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 -
Remembering the newspaper criticism that fell
to the lot of the teachers in the Marysville schools a year ago on account of
their failure to attend the session of the Northern California Teachers’
Association in Chico and secure for Marysville the 1906 session, there is a
curiosity on the part of many as to how many of the tutors will go to Chico
this year for this purpose.
This is the second year for Chico to enjoy
this honor, and now there is a growing sentiment in favor of inviting the
teachers of the Association to Marysville for the 1907 meeting. Sutter County
will send a delegation to Chico and there is no reason why these teachers should
not help Marysville to get the 1907 meeting.
SEEN A SPANIARD?
MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), November 8 -
Thomas RIDDLE, a well-known farmer of the
Honcut district, formerly of Sutter County, has asked the police to locate a
Spaniard whom he accuses of robbing him of two shining $20 pieces while he was
asleep in a room in the Dawson House in this city.
Riddle ways the Spaniard at one time cooked
for him on the ranch. He met him in Marysville, and shared his bed with him,
because he was in financial straits.
HARRINGTON HELD ON RAPE CHARGE
SUISUN (Solano Co.), November 8 -
Charles Harrington, the man arrested here
last week under the name of GETZ, on telegraphic orders from the officers at
Santa Rosa, where he was wanted on a charge of rape, has been held for trial.
Harrington, it will be recalled, outwitted
the Sonoma officer who placed him under arrest at Santa Rosa. He asked
permission to go into an adjoining room to change his clothes, but failed to return.
He was traced to where he boarded a train, and his capture here resulted.
The case against him is an ugly one, two

QUINLAN IS DECLARED TO BE LEGALLY DEAD
SANTA ROSA (Sonoma Co.), November 8 -
John Quinlan disappeared from his home in
Petaluma more than fourteen years ago, and since which time he has not been
heard from. In Judge Emmet SEAWELL’s Court Monday he was decreed to be legally
dead ,and his property, a homestead, was declared vested in his widow.
The law provides for a man being declared
legally dead after an absence of seven years, but in Quinlan’s case the time
was given double the legal requirement. Should Mr. Quinlan finally return and
make himself known to his friends or the Court he will have to be judicially
resurrected.
