2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1895. NEWS OF THE COAST. Vain Pursuit of a Wild Girl in the Sierra Foothills. GUESTS OF ST. HELENA. Napa County Druids to Enter- tain Delegates to the Grand Grove. HEALDSBURG MEN BUNKOED. Arrest of a Mendocino County At~ torney Who Is Charged With lllegal Voting. SACRAMENTO, Cak., June 13.—Con- siderable interest has been aroused here over a report from Shingle Springs that Lulu Wirt, the 19-year-old daughter of Senator Routier’s housekeeper at Routier station, has been seen wandering in the hills of El Dorado County. Lulu Wirt is the girl who a month ago attempted suicide by shooting herself with @ revolver while suffering from an attack of melancholy. She was taken to the county hospital and a few days later slipped out of the building and escaped. For several days it was supposed, as no news was received of her, that she had thrown herself into the river. A report that she was seen in the foot- hills was received and her friends sent a party to find her, but their search was un- availing. After this frequent reports of her movements were received, but every searching party met with failure, and all told the same story of how, when seen by any of the residents, she would escape into the brush. Occasionally she would ap- proach a farmhouse and ask for food, but invariably refused when offered lodging. To-day the news comes that she is in the foothills of El Dorado County and headed toward the mountains. In order to reach these she will have to pass through the thickly settled country around Placeryille, and hopes are entertained that she will then be captured. Should she succeed in getting through to the higher Sierras and reach the snow belt she will undoubtedly perish from cold or hunger. Constable Warren has just returned from a search after the girl and suggests that the Board of Supervisors be requested to offer a reward for her apprehension, so that more searchers may take the field. He says that it is a great wonder that she has lived as long as she has, owing to the chilly night air and the number of days she must have gone without food. DRTUIDS AT ST. HELENA. The Grand Grove to Convene in Thirty- First Annual Session. ST. HELENA, CAL., June 13.—Elaborate preparations are being made for entertain- ing the Grand Grove of Druids, which is to meet in thirty-first annual session at this place next Monday. From 300 to 500 vis- itors are expected to be in attendance dur- ing the session of the Grand Grove, which will occupy most of the week. The committee on arrangements, ap- pointed by the local grove, is providing for proper accommodation of all who may come, and an elaborate programme has been prepared for their entertainment dur- ing the week. A grand arch is now being erected across Main street, over which will be erected a band stand, where daily con- certs will be given. The grand officers and representatives will be met on the arrival of the train by the St. Helena Grove on Monday evening, and a salute of thirty-one guns will be fired in their honor. Following this there will be a reception at Turner Hall. On T'uesday the visitors will be treated to a drive around the valley. In the evening there will be a banquet at Turner Hall. Wednesday evening there will be a grand ball at Turner Hall.

UKIAH, Car., June 13.—George A. Sturtevant, District Attorney of this county, was to-day arrested by Constable Eugene Parr of Hopland on a warrant sworn out by S. T. Parsons of that place, charging him with illegal voting. The alleged offense was said to have been com- mitted at the late election for Superyisor of the First District, which was heid on May 7last.

HEALDSBURG, CaL., June 13.—Several Healdsburgers are quite a few dollars poorer through the fraudulent operations of one E. A. Shanklin, who came here rep- resenting the Martinsburg Insurance Com- pany of Martinsburg, W. Va. He suc- ceeded in securing several policies, one upon the laundry of Joe Wah Lee for $1000.

Aol HARNEY BACK IN WHEATLAND, Railed to Find Any Damage by Grass- hoppers in the Foothills. WHEATLAND, Car., June 13.—G. W. Harney, Horticultural Commissioner, re- turned to-day from a four days’ trip through the Sierra foothills, extending from Marysville along the base of the mountains and down through the hop- Fields to Wheatland. The trip was made " for the purpose of investigating the report of the depredations by grasshoppers. ‘Bhe alarmist reports sent out from here some days ago have been proven by the Commissioner to be without foundation. | There were only a few places in the hills where the devastating species of hoppers were found to be numerous, and then not in such numbers but that they could be controlled by the arsenic remedy. In the hopfields the injurious species were not found at all. —_— CRIME NEAR SANGER. Fiends Attack a Young Girl and Throw Her Into a Kiver. FRESNO, Car., June 13.—The report of a brutal assault reached here this after- noon. It occurred about four miles north of Sanger Wednesday afternoon and the whole country is excited. The intended victim was the 12-year-old daughter of G. Albert Smith, a well-known rancher. The girl had gone to the barn to collect eggs, when she was suddenly overpowered by some one who had come up behind her and thrown a handkerchief over her eyes. The child screamed for assistance, but as the house was some distance away she could make no one hear. She was thrown to the ground and her hands and feet were tied. She continued to scream and the assailants, evidently fearing that she would | be heard, carried her to a creek about 150 yards away and threw her into it. She fell onto a sand-bar and was not se- riously injured, but her hands and feet were still tied and she could barely keep her head above water.

VICTORY OF THE WIDOW The Jury Holds That the Fact of Undue Influence Was Proved. AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN. Judge Dougherty Denies a Motion of the Defense for a New Trial. SANTA ROSA, €ar., June 13.—The jury in the Carriger will case brought in a verdict to-day breaking the will, thus giv- ing a second victory to the widow. The jury was out but a short time, and stood ten to two in favor of the widow on each of the four counts which they were called upon to decide. The character of Mrs. Carriger was roughly assailed by the attorneys for the defense, but the lady, who isa Sonoma born and bred girl, passed through the ordeal unscathed, and the verdict was re- ceived with general rejoicing. Judge Dougherty denied a motion for a new trial and an appeal may be taken. The case, which has just been decided after a long trial, was one of the most sen- sational ever heard in a Sonoma court. William Carriger was shot and killed by his brother, Boggs Carriger, at the old Carriger homestead, about three years ago, under circumstances that led to Boggs Carriger’s arrest and trial for murder. At the first trial Boggs Carriger was convicted of murder in the second degree, but he secured a new trial and was acquitted. Just a year prior to the tragedy William Carriger was wedded to Miss Kate O’Brien, a neighbor’s daughter, with whom he had been acquainted from childhood. Not many months aiter the wedding Carriger and his young wife became estranged. She contends that her husband’s mind had been poisoned by false stories conveyed to him by Boggs Carriger, and which reflected i on her moral character. Boggs Carriger was a widower, and his three children made their home with Wil- | liam Carriger and wife. The latter ob- jected to their presence in the househoid, believing their blood relations should be their custodians. At any rate, a bitterness was engendered between Boggs Carriger meantime had run off. After working at the knots for some time the girl succeeded in freeing her hands and partly freeing her feet. Finally her screams were heard by one of her family, who had been hunting for the child for two hours. She could barely stand when rescued from the water. As soon as the news spread the neigh- bors began an active search for the crim- inals, and a tramp and the Chinese cook working with a gang of Chinamen on the ranch were arrested. in early from the field to cook supper, which was not ready until late. He was put in the lock-up, and refuses to talk or even look at any one. The farmers and officers are stiil hunting for possible crim- inals. They are very law-abiding, how- ever, and there is little fear of a lynchin, At last reports to-night they had not ar- rested any one else. SR Accident at Pasadena. PASADENA, Carn., June 13.—Charles Sing, a vegetable vender, met with a fatal accident this afternoon on Illinois street. In mounting his wagon he stepped upon the wheel, standing with one foot on the axle and one on the brake.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL., June 13.—V. Fassa, who beat a woman and broke her nose resently, was convicted of an assault to- day and sentenced by Judge Gardiner to 8ix lfxonths‘ imprisonment in the County Jai The cook had gone | been pleasant, and the record shows only | one foggy and chilly night. Men of the regiment who could not get away from their work early in the week arrive on every train, and the maximum attendance of the encampment may be reached next Saturday evening. The longer the regi- ¥s in camp the better pleased are and officers with their surround- ful efforts of the citi- zens of Petaluma to make the outing agree- able. Dauty in the regiment is not neglected for vleasure. Colonel Fairbanks believes in giving the men of his command as much liberty for individual enjoyment as due re- | gard for military discipline will permit, but during hours designated for drill and the performance of other duties he de- mands close attention to orders and exacts punctual attendance. The enlisted men of the Fifth can approach their officers without bowing low three times and pros- | trating themselves to the ground, but un- due familiarity is discouraged Since the new regulations adopted by | the United States army three years have been tested for two years in the Na- tional Guard the advantages of the new system are now fully understood. The two battalions of the Fifth, one of four companies and the other of three, require two majors, two battalion adju- tants and the regimental adjutant. The first battalion is commanded by Major L. W. Juilliard, with Lieutenant A. A. Borlini adjutant. The second battalion is led by Major J. F. Hayes, with Lieutenant L. N. Cobbledick adjutant. Captain D. A. Smith is regimental adjutant. Daily re- turns of attendance are made by company orderly sergeants in each battalion to the adjutant of the battalion. These returns are forwarded to the regimental adjutant, who makes a consolidated report. Adju- tant Borlini, who has served in the guard for eight years, says the battalion forma- tion is far superior to the form prescribed | in the old regulations. | Lieutenant E. S. Heller, inspector of rifle practice, who has done so much to en- courage constant practice at the rifle range, received a beantiful token from the enlisted men of the regiment at the pavilion last night. The gift is a superb locket with a diamond spark set in a golden star. Lieutenant Heller's worth as an @fficer is recognized throughout the whole regiment. Colonel Frank H. Sum- ner, now on duty as inspector in accord- ance with orders from division head- quarters, has not been idle for any length of time since he arrived in camp yester- day. At daylight this morning he was around to make an early inspection of tents and company quarters generally. Company C of Petaluma received com- mendations for good military form. The officers of this company are Captain Maclay and Lieutenants Phillips and Stockdale. The Petaluma company has an excellent record in the regiment and ranks high in point of efliciency and soldierly bearing. There is a rumor in the air that twenty men in uniform got aboard of a streetcar late Tuesday night, refused to pay fare, and made the conductor, on peril of losing his car, drive on to camp. Captain Poulter of Company A says his men are innocent; Captain Partridge says Company B of San Jose would never think of doing such a thing; Captain Maclay asserts that all of his men are known in Petaluma; Captain Elliott of Company D, San Rafael, was shocked when he heard of it, and averred that all of his men were in camp; Captain Dunbar of Company E, Santa Rosa, is sure that his men always pay fare; Captain Wethren of Company ¥ says that no Qak- land man would ride free if free rides were tendered; Captain Chapman of Company G is positive that all of the soldiers of the Alameda company were sound asleep in bed when the affair took vlace. Seven military alibis have been established. The outrage must have been perpetrated by citizens in military uniform. Generals Dimond and Warfield were here that night with their respective staff officers, but Colonel Fairbanks does not suspect them. Camp Fairbanks was brilliantly illumin- the men ings and the succes wife, F. H.

The athletic representatives of the regi- ment are manifesting keen interest in the events of field day to-morrow. The prin- cipal events are a 100-yard dash, half-mile dash, high jump, hammer throwing, shot put, oflicers’ race, mile run, pole vault, 120-yard hurdle race and first sergeants’ race. The prizes have been contributed by the merchants of Petalnma and the offi- cers of the regiment. The entries are nu- merous. Company F of Oakland held a shoot to- day for regimental trophies. The scores were not high enough to disturb Company D’s chances of winning the first prize. AT CAMP UKIAH. The Advance Guard of the Second Regi- ment Arr UKIAH, CaL., June 13.—The advance guard of] the Second Regiment, N. G. C., arrived here this afternoon. It consists of Majors Huberand McCarthy, Captain Am- merman, Lieutenants Kuhls, Mangels and Weiland and twenty privates.

INOUEST AT SAN JOSE A Hotel Waitress Who Died for the Love of a Girl Com- panion. Rather Than Be Separated From Her Roommate, Amelia Relnelt Killed Herself. SAN JOSE, Car., June 13.—Coroner Se- cord held an inquest this morning over the body of Amelia Reinelt, the waitress, who killed herself at the Eureka Hotel last night by firing two shots into her brain. The testimony at the inquest showed that the deed was premeditated, and that her love for her roommate, Gussie Munson, a waitress employed at the same place, was the cause of the rash act. Monday Miss Munson decided to leave the hotel, and this so worried Miss Reinelt that she resolved to kill herselfrather than be separated from her companion. Miss Reinelt was a native of Austria, 22 years of age and " had been in this country” alittle over a year. The Coroner’s jury brought in a verdict that she came to her death by bullet wounds inflicted by her- self. PLANS FOR THE CARNIVAL. Santa Clara County Floral Society Ladies Take Hold of the Project.

SAN JOSE, Car., June 13.—Mrs. Eliza- beth Wilkie, mother of Rev. G. Wilkie, pastor of the German Methodist Episcopal church in this city, died this morning from injuries received from falling down- stairs last Sunday. The deceased was a’ native of Germany and 73 years of age. and Mrs. William Carriger, which had its culmination in a separation between Wil- liam Carriger and his wifs. At that period William Carriger made a will disposing of his estate to his relatives, and wholly ignoring his wife. In the meantime the wife instituted proceedings for a divorce. When matters were at this crisis it appears the couple were about | effecting a reconciliation. Then it was that Boggs Carriger went to William’s home one Sunday, and in some manner shot and killed his brother, Carriger’s will at the time was locked in alawyer’s safe at Oakland. When its con- tents were revealed the widow sued to have it set aside, claiming that it did not express the feelings or wishes of her late husband at the time of his death, and that its provisions adverse to her were the re- sults of undue influence incited by Boggs Carriger. The jury returned a verdict in ner favor, but the finding was set aside by Judge Crawford. An appeal was taken and sustained by the Supreme Court. In the second trial, the one just ended, the attorneys for Mrs. Carriger were Peter ¥. Dunne and Judge Cotton of San Fran- cisco, and for the estate Hon. Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento and Hon. Barclay Henley of San Francisco. HELD UP NEAR STOCKTON, An Old Man Robbed by a Foot--| pad, Who Is Afterward Captured. Franchise for the Valley Road Granted—A Dead Tramp Identified.
