The Board Satisfied With the Condition of the Olympia. VALLEJO, Cav., June 26.—The floor of building 14 (the boatshop) at Mare Island has been excavated several feet, and a cement floor will be laid. This is an ex- pensive piece of work, but is deemed Recessary. by the authorities. The number of employes at the yard is constantly increasing. This is being done in order that on July 1 the yard will be found in readiness to take up the work contemplated. All seamen on the Olympia having less than two and a half years to serve have been transferred to the Independence. This cuts down the engineer’s force of the ship considerably. A draft of seventeen men from the Monocacy on the Asiatic station have arrived at the vard, and will be paid off at this station. The inspection board of the Olympia has made a thorough examination of that vessel and seems satis- fied. In a day or so the trial trip will be begun.

Charges Against Judge Carter of Fresno Proved Without Foundation. FRESNO, CAL., June 26.—A statement appeared in several oi the San Francisco papers recently which does an injustice to Judge Stanton L. Carter of this city. In areport read by T. S. Williams Jr. before a meeting of the People’s Home Savings Bank depositors it was stated that Judge Carter had acted as attorney for the People’s Home Savings Bank after he had been appointed to the Superior bench by ex-Governor Markham. John F. Sheehan, secretary and manager of the bank, and John Flournoy, attorney for the bank, have written letters showing that the records of the corporation disprove the ac- cusations made by Mr. Williams. Assoon as Judge Carter was appointed he relin- quished his position as attorney for the bank in Fresno and has had no further connection with it. His only action in the matter since his appointment has been to collect some money that was due him for services rendered e VALLEJO MILITIAMEN. Frank 0'Grady Re-elected to the Cap- taincy of Company B. VALLEJO, Car., June 26.—Company B of this city has re-elected Frank O’Grady captain, H. D. Lazelle first lieutenant and Charles D. McCaulley second lieutenant. Owing to the alleged unbecoming conduct and negligence charges against Captain 0'Grady during the encampment week, resulting in that officer being reprimanded by Colonel Guthrie, it was thought by many that he would not be re-elected, but evidently the company was satistied with its captain’s record. A number of Benicia residents were present at the meeting of the company and invited the militiamen to visit that town to participate in its Fourth of July cele- bration. The invitation was accepted, Be- nicia agreeing to furnish free transporta- tion. D — e OUNCED AT PORT TOWNSEND. No Truth in the Story of an Hawavian Filibustering Expedition. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH., June 26.— The sole topic of discussion in marine circles to-day was the sensational story fro) Seattle on Monday alleging the disco\'el; of a conspiracy to ship arms and ammuni- tion to the revolutionists of Hawaii. The schooner George W. Watson, which is alleged to be the vessel on which the ship- ment was made, is one of the best-known and newest in the Pacific lumber trade, and has always been a paying investment to its owners. Itiscommanded by Captai August Friedburg, an able mariner. Every shipping man at this port denounces the story as an infamous “fake.’” SHATA- BARBARA FRACIS Four Court Trials Grow Out of an Attack Upon a Solicitor. An Ex-Pugilist Who Did Not Want Photographs of His Wife Enlarged. SANTA BARBARA, CarL., June 26.—S. Stern, a solicitor for a photograph enlarg- ing company of San Francisco, received a surprise of a sensational nature yesterday while pursuing his vocation in this city. He called at the residence of Dan O'Kelly, a painter by trade, who has the reputation of being a retired pugilist. Stern was elo- quently persuading Mrs. O’Kelly to have her photograph enlarged, when the inside door suddenly swung on its hinges, and O’Kelly, armed with a Winchester shot- gun, entered and punched Stern forcibly in the abhdomen with the muzzle. Stern, instantly deciding that discretion was the better part of valor, made for the back yard and attempted to climb the fence, O'Kelly at his heels. The punch already received from the Winchester had taken the wind out of him, so he could not climb, and O’Kelly, who had dropped the Winchester, caught him and proceeded to administer a severe pummeling, where- upon Stern, being no mean boxer, gave O’Kelly a blow on the jaw. O’Kelly in turn set his teeth upon the canvasser’s thumb. Meantime one I. 8. Bills, a partner of Stern’s, in whose company the latter travels, being engaged on the opposite side of the street, heard the ovtcries and came to the rescue, but could not open the pugilist’s jaws until the happy thought occurred to turn the combination of O'Kel- ly’s ear, which, aftera few twists, threw the bolts, and the two strangers made their escape. Later in the day O’Kelly hove in sight on the street with his Winchester in his hand in pursuit of Stern. He leveled the gun at young Backus, a local telegraph messenger, who promptly dropped off his bicycle out of range. Then, perceiving Stern coming up the street in a bus O’Kelly drew a bead on him. Stern sought refuge upon the floor of the vehicle. @’Kelly was then placed under arrest. Four suits are the result of his one at- tack. He was brought before Justice Crane on the charge of battery and re- leased on his own recognizance. In the Police Court a complaint was filed charging him with assault with a deadly weapon. Before Justice Gammill he was called to answer to the charge of maghem. An ad- ditional suit was brought by Stern in Jus- tice Crane’s court to recover $295 damages. The trials will begin with a felony charge and work their way down through 0O’Kelly’s docket. RECEIVER FOR A HORSE. Litigation Over the Possession of a San'ta Barbara Pacer. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., June 26.—A. C. Dietz yesterday brought suit against Dr. J. H. Goulding, the veterinary surgeon ar- rested last Saturday on a charge of embez- zlement preferred by his wife, to recover the value of a half interest it a pacer named Broncho, together with $500 damages. It is charged that Goulding was shipping the horse out of the State with the purpose of defrauding Dietz. Judge Cope appointed James P. Tryce receiver for the horse. The latter pro- ceeded to Los Angeles and found Goulding, who turned the horse over to Tryce. Dietz had given Goulding a half mterest in the animal with the understanding that the latter would train and develop its speed. Pressed-Brick Manufactory. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., June 26— The Rev.

SELMA, CarL., June 26.—The election to decide on the disincorporation of the Selma Irrigation District yesterday resulted in the defeat of the proposition. The $7500 assessment to pay the district indebted- ness and provide for future expenses was also voted. The district has never before voted an assessment. The aggressive action of the claimants of the waters of Kings River—the English proprietors of the Laguna Detache grant—has put the people of the district on the defensive. e G ALEXANDER VALLEY WINERY.

The Visalia team practices every night on Main street, and large crowds are at- tracted by the runners. Good time is made, but the reports from Hanford, Tu- lare and Porterville show that the teams in those towns are also getting in good condition for the contest. 5 CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. Serious Accusation Against an Aged Englishman at Los Angeles LOS ANGELES, Cavn., June 26.—John Culley, an aged Englishman, claiming to represent the English and London Mining Company, was arrested this morning for embezzlement. Culley makes no defense and will probably have a hard time to es- cape the penitentiary. The complaint of Dr. H. 8, Mohn, who, with D. D. Fowler, owns the Bonanza and Dolores gold mines in Sonora, Mex., says Culley represented that he was empowered to purchase the mines, and that they gave Culley $150 to defray his expenses to the mines. He went there, returned and re- fused to buy, hence the arrest. CAPTURED IN PASADENA. The Leader of a Gang of Horsethieves Under Arrest.

TULARE SCAOOL TROUBLE cure the Removal of a Trustee. Costs of the Action Against Wishon Assessed Against the In- former. TULARE, CAv., June 26.—The first con- flict in court in the Tulare school war to- day ended in a victory for Trustee A. G. Wishon. The proceedings to oust him had come up in the hearing of arguments on a demurrer of Wishon's counsel to the complaint. Judge Cross sustained the de- murrer, denied an application to amend the complaint, and ordered judgment for costs assessed against the informer, Pro- fessor J. A. Guttery. been manifested in the selection of a prin- cipal for the public schools. Considerable opposition was developed last year to the filled the place during the preceding year, but the school board concluded to give him another trial. This year, although the opposition had become formidable and active, and embraced many leading tax- payers and patrons of the school, Professor Guttery was again an applicant for re- tention. At an open session of the Board of Edu- cation recently held, attended by a large number of interested citizens, his applica- tion was rejected, and it was decided to tender the position to Professor C. J. Walker of Selma, although he was not an applicant. This action of the board was, of course, unsatisfactory to Professor Guttery, and he announced that he would hold an in- dignation meeting, but was dissuaded from the attempt by his friends. He then threatened a suit for damages against some of his opponents. This also fell by the wayside, and finally the professor in- stituted proceedings to oust the president of the Board of Education, A. G. Wishon, who had actively opposed his re-election. The charges included failure to atiend all meetings of the board and dereliction in not visiting the schools. Judgment for §500 as informer was also askel. To-day’s decision will, it is thought, end the controversy, though Professor Guttery threatens to appeal. el 4l 3 BUDD RETURN T0 SACRAMENTO. The Health of the Ewxecutive is Much Amproved. SACRAMENTO, CaL., June 26.—Goy- ernor Budd returned from Klamath Springs to-day considerably improved in health, although he is not yet fully recoy- ered.

FIRES UPON A WOMAN. The Victim of His Anger Re- ceives a Probably Fatal Wound. A MOB SURROUNDS THE JAIL. Enraged Cltizens Threaten to Mete Out Lynch Law to the Mur- derous Youth. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, June 26.—Mrs, Dolter, wife of the steward of the Pacific Yacht Club at Sausalito, was fatally wounded early this afternoon by an en- raged young Jap, who narrowly escaped being lynched for the deed. It was hali-past1 o’clock when the young Japauese, who has been employed at the clubhouse as a domestic, walked into the dining-room with pistolin hand and called out: “Is any one at home?”’ Mrs. Dolter and child were in another room. She recognized the voice and came to see what was wanted. At once the Jap commenced firing, as he did so cursing and mumbling incoherently. She fell to the floor with a bullet in her chest. By the time the second shot was fired Mr. Dolter was on the spot. He and an- other man were working outside quite near. Mr. Dolter rusked for the Jap, who began firing at him the moment he appeared in sight. The Jap fired several shots at the husband, but none of them were effective. He had a small 22-caliber revolver, which was now exhausted and he turned and ran. The chase was very short. Mr. Dolter had the murderous youth by the neck be- fore he reached the head of the stairs. In his rage and indignation Mr. Dolter beut and pounded the Jap severely before he turned him over to his friend to bind hand and foot while he went to the aid of his wounded wife. Very tenderly he lifted her up and carried her to the bed, fearing that each breath would be her last. The wound bled profusely, and it was some time before a physician could be summoned. Later in the afternoon, when a surgeon arrived from San Rafael, he located the bullet under the right shoulder blade. The woman’s condition was cal to per- mit probing for the At a late hour to-night Mrs. Dolter was resting quietly, and the physician hoped for her recovery. When Mr. Dolter’s friend had tied the Jap hand and foot he threw him down- stairs, insiead of carrying him down. increased the Jap's wounds, and by the time he was landed in jail at Sausalito le was threatened with brain fever from the severity of his bruises, the County Physician declared, Constable Creed arrested the Jap, and put him in the Sausalito lock-up till he could get assistance from San Rafael to convey the prisoner to the County Jail. Before this assistance arrived, an angry mob had gathered around the town caboose and threatened to lynch the prisoner. For an houror more the Jap’s life was worth very little. Though there were a few cool beadsin the crowd who used their influence to restrain it from an act of violence, vet the temper of the ¢ zens was at fever heat, and the wonder is that the hour passed and Constable Creed was able to take the prisoner away in safety. The Jap was employed at the clubhouse as a cook and general domestic. Tuesday Mrs. Dolter put him to work cleaning up some grass and weeds on the clubhouse grounds. He proceeded to do his work by burning the dry stuff. He put the match toit in several places, and in a few mo- ments had such a conflagration under wa: that it took a good deal of quick work to save the clubhouse from being burned to the ground. When Mr. Dolter returned home that evening and heard what the Jap had done, he concluded that such a ser- vant would be unsafe about the place and at once discharged him. The Jap left the place in a rage, mutter- ing words of revenge. He went to San Francisco thac night, where it is sup- posed he procured his pistol. To-day he came back to Sausalito and marched from the wharf straight to the clubhouse, where he proceeded to carry out his plan of re- venge. He is silent and sullen now in his cell in the County Jail, and although he can talk fairly good pigeon English if he will, he refuses to say a word. The county physi- cian has dressed his wounds, but it will be a long while before they are healed. BAPTISTS AT THIN LIKES, The State Convention Opens With Many Delegates in Attendance.
