He hted and told Wylackie to find “Brick” McPherson was an of the Russ House and his hair Did he know Mrs. White? Cer- Would he undertake to com- er and furnish proof of it? Cer- ben he could call upon White $2000. It was enough. McPherson’s ready assent to the dirty usiness suggested that he might be that r man that they were looking for. He troduced to White and White sug- -ested a buggy ride to Bolinas—he and Mrs. White—when the horses might be driven over an embankment. If Mrs. White was not killed he could beat her head with arock and the “accident” would free him from suspicion. White and Wylackie would be driving a little dis- tance behind and come up to his assist- ance. Horrified at the suggestion McPherson said he would consider it. He sought &n interview with Mrs. White whom he had not known before and told her all about it. She consulted her attorneys, they met Mc- Pherson and advised bhim to keep up a play of assent to White's plans. McPherson saw White and advised him against such radical measures. “If you do this thing there is §2000 in it for you,” exclaimed White impatiently. “Kill her, I don’t care how; throw her in the bay, anything, so you get rid of her.” But McPherson temporized and finally drew White away from this plan. He said there would be no difficulty about se- curing evidence that would securea di- vorce and carry such effect in court that the alimony or any other money award would be nominal. He agreed that White himself should be a witness, It was planned that he (White) should see Mrs. White in a room with m (McPher- son) under all essential criminating condi- tions. All parties kept the engagement. Mec- Pherson and Mrs. White went over on the 3 o'clock boat, on which was also a de- tective watching them. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Ostender also went on the same boat as friendsof Mrs, White. McPherson and Mrs, White took a carriage from South Vallejo, while Mr. and Mrs, Ostender walked over. The rendezvous was the Wilson House. White went out by a later train. It was arranged that he with his detectives uld come to and break into the room 10o'clock at night. At that hour he rapped at the door. He heard excited voices within. He summoned the hotel clerk, got a chair and a8 lamp and en- deavored to peer over the transom. While in that attitude the door was suddenly opened by Mrs. White’s attorneys and the door of a room across the hall opened at the same time and Mrs. White and Mr. and Mrs, Ostender appeared there. This plan had failed. All the current epithets and expressions of contempt were applied to the man and his hirelings, and they sneaked away, declaring they had been deceived, which was quite true. Wylackie saw he would have to depend upon his Round Valley men after all, and 0 began to teach them the parts he ex- pected them to play. This, for instance, is the story he required James Neafus to ise b | we arrived, it being then about halt-past 8 | i and then turn out the light.” relate under oath and Frederick Arm- strong with him: “*On a certain night in September, 1884, T was riding from Covelo to the house of George E. White, and on the way we were overtaken by Frederick Armstrong, who | proceeded with us. When we arrived at | the house of George E. White we put up | our horses and went and sat on the well- curband ate some apples which Wathan had procured. About half an hour after in the evening, we saw a man crawling i down the backstairs without a coat on and | his shoes in his hand. Wathan suggested | that we take our boots off and follow him. We did so. He went around the house, | through the garden, over the porch and into Mrs. White’s room. We looked | through the blinds and saw him get in bed For several nights in succession, in order to perfect them in their parts, Wylackie took Neefus and Armstrong over the | ground, showing them just how the thing | was done. He sat them on the well curb and showed them where the man—who was said to be John Rohrbough, Mrs. White’s cousin and manager of White’s estate—crawled “down with his coat off | and shoes in hand,” and then he foliowed | the course described around the house and | showed ther the blinds that they were to | peer through into the bedroom. Wathan—Wylackie John—scoured Co- velo for an almanacto discover if the moon was up in the latter part of September; he | got a lamp and placed it on the burean by | the bed, showed them how the man was | to come down ihe back stairs and how they | wrought to the highest degree of excite- ment, every resident being summoned to testify on one side or the other. Mrs. White had for her active champion her brother Clarence, a young man then of but 24 years, but whose courage and prowess had often been tested and had won him the respect of the boidest. He was of medium height and slight build, but had that in his steady brown eye and confident bearing that often made bigger men quail. As a boy of 17 he had joined Sheriff Stanly in pursuit of a gang of outlaws and his duel in the weods in which he killed the leader, Billings, was not forgot- ten history. He had worked for George E. ‘White and knew him as he knew Wylackie John and what they would do to gain their ends, and were doing. It was a cold day during the Christmas week, there was a heavy fall of snow in the valley. By sleds and in their winter furs, the witnesses, men and women, were being marshaled for the inquiry in the Gibson House, the one pretentious build- ing in town, now closed, however, and fall- ing into decay. The saloon opposite was crowded with spurred and pistoled cow- boys, most of whom, while employed as adherents of White, were secretly dis- gusted at the assault which they saw be- ing made upon the good name of a woman whom they felt was above reproach. The father as well as the brother of Mrs. White watched the energetic efforts of ‘Wrylackie John with growing wrath and a lieutenant warned him to beware. “I am ready,” he answered, showing the outline of a revolver against his overcoat pocket. He was then conducting a woman e R = THE GIBSON HOUSE, COVELO, WHERE CLARENCE WEITE SHOT WYLACKIE JOHN. were to follow him; how the man might | enter the room and how thbe blinds might | | be turned so that they could see him. | Brady Tuttle and old man XKendricks ‘ | and a battalion of others gathered every | night in the orchard or the adjoining | fields and practiced their several parts. | | Some of them had Wpylackie to write | out their testimony for them. He | complained that Brady Tuttle’s head was | so thick that he could not get anything through it. When they came down for the | trial all the witnesezes were kept togetherat the Ahlborn House under Wylackie's | careful supervision. Every night pre-| ceding the trial he zathered them together | | in a room and put them through their les- | | sons, so that they might make no slip, | espectially the important ‘omes, George | | Morrison Sr. and Jr.—father and son—Fred | | Armstrong, Lew Willis, Brady Tuttle, E | ward Goggins, J. B. Neafus and old man | Kendricks. | They were all to be paid according to | the value of their performance, some be- ing promised as high as$300. The Mor- | risons’ story was next in importance to that of Neafus and Armstrong, for they were to say they saw Mrs. White and | Rohrbough on another occasion together | in the brush by the road side. Before the trial Mrs. White always de- | clared her belief that her “Cousin Jobnny" | Rohrbough, whom she had always treated | into the inquiry room. It was the parlor of the hotel on the ground floor, and he antered by the door at. the end of the building to the right of the main entrance. Clarence White, the brother, saw the woman enter, knew her character and what might be expected of her, and imme- diately crossed the street with the purpose | of advising his sister’s attorney, McPike, concerning her. ‘Wylackie John had crossed through the room and come out into the central hall- way and there met Clarence. ““Where are you going ?" he said. “To speak to McPike about this lying woman you have just taken in there.” “No, you dont.” “Who will prevent me ?"” With an oath Wylackie exclaimed, “I will—I'll just ‘do’ you right now!” Young White wore a long ulster over- coat, buttoned. it is said, to his feet. His revolver was not in a case, but stuck loosely in his trousers belt in front. He | did not attempt to unbutton his coat, but ; puiled it up as a wormnan might an apron. Wylackie’s gun caught in a hole of the pocket, it is supposed, for he was too slow, and the crack of the revolver which start- led the lawyers inside was not of his. He fell on the stairs with a hole near the right temple, which extended through his brain. When McPike hurriedly opened the s RESIDENCE OF GEORGE E. WHITE, ROUND VALLEY, NEAR COVELO. kindly and who had seemed to be her friend, would never permit the charge to be made in his name. But she was disap- pointed. Rohrbough was in a most unfor- tunate position for a weak man who was disposed to be decent. He was, or thought he was, in George White's will for a large sum which,fo refuse to do White’s bidding, was to sacrifice. On the other hand the world must forever hold him as the most despicable of men if he did assent to it, even if what they said were true. Judge Wilson in his decision referred to him, saying that the meanest of the perjured witnesses would scarcely change places with him, For he did not only assent to it, but paid some of the witnesses money and helped them out of town. When it came to the last test Neafus weakened a little. He balked at the point where they “looked through the window,” but said he returned to the well curb while Wathan and Armstrong looked through the window. White was good enough not to find fault with him for this, but he got but little more for his services than a cheap suit of clothes and a few odd dollars. Armstrong told the full story as given. This trial was begun in December, 1887. ‘White claimed to have a great number of witnesses in the vicinity of Covelo who could not come to the City, and during the Christmas adjournment of the court the lawyers and Court Stenographer Riley went to Covelo to take their depositions. Here Wylackie John was perfectly at home. He was very busy bringing men and women forward with corroborative evidence, George E. White being present, a close watcher of every witness. The pro- ceedings ran on for several days, the little town and surrounding country being door Clarence was standing over the dying King of intriguers, saying: “You will pull a revolver on me, will you?” “Wylackie John dead!” That was news indeed in Round Valley, and besides the effect it produced upon the men closest to ‘White, who were Wylackie’s lieutenants, it meant chaos for a time in the network of Round-Valley intrigue. For the little pellet of lead had scattered the brains that directed it all. There was talk of lynching, of course, but, perfectly calm, young White stepped across into Henley’s store, secured a rifle and ammunition and announced himself as ready. But Wylackie was dead, and it does not take a man long to lose influence once he is dead. Itwas found now that he had many enemies, and Clarence White had always had many friends. He was simply required to give bonds in $5000, which he readily did. White versus White had been carried to San Francisco by a change of venue, as stated, and for months it furnished a suc- cession of sensations, among them being White’s first wife, whom he had thought deud, coming to testify aguinst him, Frank Salladay, another witness, came nearly all the way from Round Valley on foot, swimming the turbulent Eel River in winter, to tell how offers of money had been made him to testify to improper con- duct on the part of Mrs. White. At the end of it all the court awarded Mrs. White the divorce on her cross plea, awarded her also all the community property, of a value of $100,000, besides handsome alimony for* months before. In the scatterment of the witnessess of whose perjury the court was convinced, there was terror, recrimination, and in many cases a swift retribution Clamor- ing for their pay White gave many of them only enough to get out of town, which in their fear of arrest, of which he took advantage, they were compelled to accept. One of them—old man XKendrick, an overseer on the farm—dropped dead on his way ‘back, and another was drowned while crossing Eel River. J. B. Neafus, who was trained to tell the story about eating apples on the well curb and of seeing Johunny Rohrbough climb into Mrs. White's room, was subsequently sent to San Quentin for holding up a stage. John Rohrbough had given him $5 with which to get out of town, and White had bought a cheap suit of clothes for him. When he demanded more money White gave him a rifle and told him to go and get it. 1t was for following the suggestion that he was sent to San Quentin, where he afterward made affidavit to all the facts related concerning bis testimony. Clarence White was tried at Ukiah for killing Wylackie Jobn and promptly ac- quitted. Such satisfaction was shown over the verdict that even the Judge got drunk and so noisy that the Sheriff at- tempted to arrest him. Wylackie John had quite an estate in his own name, and it is said that White, immediately he was dead, attempted to getit away from the widow. Sylvester Palmer, a man who was in his employ, married the widow, and from that day the bitter, relentless enmity of White has worked trouble for him. He has been required to defend himself against charges of cattle-stealing so often that he confesses himself now almost ruined. Only a few days ago White made charges against him before the United States Grand Jury for stealing a calf from the Indian reservation, and an indictment was found, so that he Will no sooner get through with the pending case in Ukiah than he will have to come to this City and defend himself here. He declares himself innocent of all these charges and in every case hitherto juries have declared him to be so. Jack Littlefield, who was shot to death and hanged a few days ago on Red Moun- tain, thirty miles north of Round Valley, was Palmer’s head vaquero. J. N. Vinton, who was shot in the breast some days before, but who is recovering, was a vaquero in White’s employ. The story of how, two days after the Vinton shooting, seven men went to arrest Little- field, who was charged with the Vinton shooting; how only two made the arrest, and -these two, first disarming him, after- ward led him away into the mountains, where he was shot and then hanged by an alleged mob, has been told. It has been told, also, how it is believed by many that Littlefield did not shoot Vinton and that those who shot Littlefleld knew he did not, but took advantage of that shooting to cover their cold-blooded murder of Little- field with the appearance of justifiable vengeance. 1i this be found to be true, then the Constable who made the arrest and disarmed Littlefield and led him to where Le was shot, will be held with others for the murder, and Ves Palmer will know to a certainty that his murder was also planned and intended at the same time. Joe Greggory was acquitted in Ukiah on Saturday of the charge of cutting Little- field almost to death. But he was one of that party of seven who left Tom Hay- den’s house to arrest Littlefield. He was subsequently on that jury of nine with a Justice of the Peace at its head that de- clared simply that “Littlefield was shot and came to his death,” and who after- ward doubled the body up and dumped it in a small hole two feet deep. It was he who scraped the congealed blood from the dead man’s neck, pointed to the long, ugl{ scar there, saying, “‘See, I did that an | have seen him carry it to his grave. No, we need no box for bim?: it is easier for me to say God d— than God bless him.”’ This is something—from the beginning until now—of the story of Round Valley. There, can you seeit? Just above the green of that distantclump of trees the sun is touching the church spire at Covelo. Beautiful, but God! IN GOLOEN EATE. PARK, AN ADDITION TO BE BUILT TO THE MUSEUM To MAKE RooM FOR EXHIBITS. A CALIFORNIAN’S GIFT OF FINE OIL PAINTINGS — BEAUTIFUL CHRYSANTHEMUMS. The day was gloomy yesterday and a threatening sky, with a few siight show- ers, served to keep away the crowd of peo- ple who usually visit the park on Sunday. The band did not play and the small num- ber of poople who did venture walked around between showers, and while the rain fell they sought refugein the museum and in the conservatory. Early yesterday ex-Director of the Mid- winter Fair M. H. de Young visited the museum for the purpose of figuring ont space in which to display the many curios and objects of interest he secured while on his recent tour in Euro) He has about 200 cases of objects on the way, and as the museum is now crowded it will be impos- sible to display many of the articles, so it will be necessary to build the annex in the rear of the main building, as was contem- plated some time ago. The plans for this weredrawn for a one-story editice, but it is possible that it will be necessary to build it twostories in height. It will be sixty feet wide by a depth of 120 feet. This, it is thought, would give ample room not only for the display of these articles, but for a collection of fine paintings which will he donated as soon as there is a place to bang them in. The gentleman who has made this offer is an old Californian whose name is for the present, at his own request, withheld. He accumulated a fortune in this City in the early days, and has in- vested a good portion of it in pictures. He proposes to give them to the City for the benefit of the present and future gen- erations. Charles P. Wilcomb, custodian of the museum, has secured for it a splendid and valuable numismatic collection, number- ingr‘nbouzsoo ieces, from 8. H. Chapman of Philadelphia. In this collection there is one of the smallest gold pieces coined. 1t represents a value of 7 cents and is a {):ro specimen, It was coined in Nurem- T, The Canadian cottsge that during the Midwinter Fair was near the Village of Dahomey and was one of the very attract- ive buildings, has heen removed to a spot west of and near the mueeum. Its exte- rior has been preserved, but the interior remodeled and fitted up as a dwelling for the custodian of the museum. The few showers of rain did not keep all the cyclers off the park roads. They were out in great number and did not seem to mind the rain in the least. Superintendent McLaren had in office yesterday for the benefit of the visi ing Commissioners several varieties of chrysanthemums “just to show how those bea\niesr?rnw in the park,” There were three varieties—violet, maroon and yeilow —all of immense size. The yellow, known as the Golden Gate, were as large as a good-sized head of lettuce, In a few da; is there will be a fine display of these in the ark. There were but few people at the beach yesterday afternoon. peenl WEEKLY FRATERNAL INDEX AFTERMATH OF THE GRAND EN- CAMPMENT IN THE CITY OF STOCKTON. ORDER AMERICAN MECHANICS.

The jewel is an emblematic decoration sus- pended from a brilliant representation of light, typical of the age of civilized chivalry embodyv- ing enlightment and justice, being & white cross of ancient design, having mounted upon the face & scarlet heart, and bearing a golden crown, and inscribed upon the back the motto of action, ‘‘Be just, merciful, honorable and brave.’ The jewel, a beautiful one, was pro- cured from the Sovereign Grand Lodge, upon rctillisiflon of the department commander of California, Patriarchs Militant, I. 0. O. F. There was a greater attendance at the en- campment held at Stockton than atany pre- vious one held in this State, yet the milage is less than it was at the previous encampment. Mayor Baggs of Stockton was so well pleased ‘with the visit of the members of the order last week that he has signified his intention of be- coming a member. Visitors to the encampment declare that the Frcsenmrion of the Patriarchial degree by Parker Encampment of Stockton and the Golden Rule degree by Orientel Encampment of San Francisco was the most beautiful illustration of the same ever witnessed anywhere. Many ladies accompanied the patriarchs to Stockton and they were received by a commit- tee of ladies of that city, who escorted them to all points of interest and made their visita pleasant one. Grand Patriarch G. W. Reld visited this City on Friday and transacted a great deal of of- ficial business. The charters granted to the four new en- campmenis that were instituted during the year, namely, at Vacaville, Auburn, Colusa and the triplicate charter issued to Susanville Encampment, are being engrossed and will soon be forwarded. President Fox, Grand Secretary Shaw and Trustee §. B. Smith of Sacramento went to the home at Thermolito last Friday on a tour of in- spection and to determine upon a number of ir?xprm'emeuts suggested. here are now thirty-seven inmates in the home, and all express themselves well pleased with the institution, the surroundings and the management. G The quarterly meeting of the Veteran Odd Fellows will be held on the 28th inat, Grand Master Gosbey and Grand Secrotary Shaw will leave on Wednesday for Fort Jones, Siskiyou County, for the purpose of dedicating anew hall at that place. Rebekah lodges will in the near future be in- stituted at Los Barros, San Luis Obispo and Anaheim. The number of applications for membership in the last two encampments exceeds the num- ber of losses during the year. The outlook for the order for the year is very encouraging. Harbor Lodge No, 253 of Oakland will confer the first degree at the session to be held next Wednesday. This lodge expects a visit from the grand officers in the near future. Junior 0. U, A, M. The Junior Order of United American Me- chanics is working energetically in the matter of securing the necessary funds for the pur- pose of building & home in which will be cared for “those children who cannot take care of themselves and whose fathers at the time of death were members in good standing.” This 18 the first fraternal order that will have a home for the care of the children of its members, J. H. Zimmerman, Secretary of the Orphans’ Home Committee. (From a photograph.] At the recent National Council held in Omaha it was decided that the home should be built in Tiffin, Ohio. and when this was announced sixteen gites were offered, but as yet the com- mittee has not accepted either, but will make a selection shortly, and the site will be deeded over as soon &s the committee can show that it has control of 830,000 with which to build the home, One way of raising this and a larger fund {s a call for 50 cents per capita. 5 Children under 16 years of age wiil be admitted and while there they will receive a thorough American education” and be taught the princi- ples of patriotism. The home will be builton the villege plan. Tiffin is & city of 16,000 inhab- itants and is a strict temperance town. One of the conditions of the several offers is that “if any intoxicating liquors of any kind whatso- ever shall ever be suffered to be sold on the remises then the property at once shall revert go the original owners.” John H. Zimmerman of Plain City, Ohio, secretary of the orphans’ home committee, is the prime mover in the matter, and has been named *‘the Father of the Home.” This order has in this State at this time twenty-four councils, with & membership of 1700." The National membership is a little over 170,000. One of the objects is the re- striction of undesirable immigration, and one of the ardent supporters is Congressman Wil- liam A.Stone of Pennsylvanis, & member of the order, who at the next session of Congress will introduce a bill having that end in view. A movement has been started to hold a union meeting of Abraham Lincoln, Starr King, U. 8. Grant and Garfleld counctls for the purpose of having a service in memory of those after whom the councils have been named. Arrangements are being made by Paul Re- vore Council of Berkeley to secure & Junior 0. U.A. M. hall at an early date. It will be the first in Californis. Woodmen of the World. Congressman Bryan, the great silver advo. cate, delivered an address at the Oregon State Falr on Woodman’s day. In public 1ife he is an enthusiastic Woodman and one of the founders of the ecraft, the order having been organized in the eity of Omaha, where the Congressman hails from. All letters from the head officers of the Pacific jurisdiction are now signed ‘“Yours for twenty thousand eembers.” As the member- ship is rapidly approaching that figure the limit will soon have to be raised. The second open smoker and log rolling of | Golden Gate Camp, which will take place this | evening in Social Hull, Alcazar building, promises to be a great success. At itsoper smoker the camp received_eighty-eight appli- cations for membership. From present indica- tions the coming rally wiil greatly exceed this record. % An addition to fraternal literature in this City will soon make its_appearance under the ngme of The Chopper. The paper will be pub- H%ed in the interest of Woodecraft in Cali- fornia and elsewhere on the coast. The Elks. The committee having in charge the ar- rangements for the entertainment to be given to the lady friends of the order. on the after- noon of the 17th of November is doing well and will present & most attractive performance for the enjoyment of the invited guests. The members of this order are active at this time in the matter of securing a site on which to build a hall for its members. The plans have not been fully decided upon as yet, but it isthe intention to erect a hall that will sur- pass that of any other fraternal organization in the State. The organist of the Order of Elks is C. 8. Hoffman, who is also a native son. He joined the Elks in 1884, two years later was chosen organist and has filled that position ever since. He is chairman of the social committee, which C. 8. Hoffman, Organist of the Elks. annually gives an entertainment to resident and visiting Elks and “deers.” He is also s member of Myrtle Lodge, K. P., and chairman of the finance committee of the Grand Lodge of the same order. James P. Dunne, chairman of the board of trustees, is a native of Philadelphia, who was brought to this State in 1859 when but 1 year old. He joined the Elks in 1887, became a very active member and has taken a deep in- terest in the order since he joined itand has James P. Dunne, Chairman Eoard of Trustees, Order of Elks. always been an advocate of Golden Gate Lodge having a hall of its own. He has been & trustee for six years. Mr. Dunne is alsoa member of King Solomon’s Lodge, F. and A. M. He ridesa bicycle, s an advocate of the bioomer costume and he has/provided his mother and sisters with & most elegant home. TImproved Order of Red Men, Great Incohonee Andrew H, Paton is making arrangements to visit the Reservation of Call- fornia during the early ixurtofllle coming great sun. He is at present visiting the Reservation of Texas, where the order is making good progress. Great Representative Benjamin F.

He visited Sotoyome Tribe, of which he is a char- ter member, last Thursday, and geve a resume of his travels through the Eastern reservations and of the work of the Great Council of the United States. ‘The tribes and councils of this City have ar- ranged with the management of Grover's Alcazar Theater to entertain their membership uring the second week of November, which s being designated as “Red Men's Week at the Alcazar.” Besides the regular play set for that week there will be given an exhibition of stereopticon views illustrative of the origin :lnd history of the Improved Order of Red Men. Alfarata Council No. 10 adopted five pale faces on Friday, October 11. Since movin, into the present wigwam at Washington Hall the council has made an increase of fifteen members and received three applications last Friday. The council will give its ionthly social next Friday. Excellent talent has been engaged for the literary and musical part of the programme. These socials are always largely attended. Arapahoe Tribe, after transacting its rontine business last Friday, opened the tribal wigwam for the reception and entertainment of the friends and visitors of the membership. A. H. Perkins has been elected chief of rec- ords of Cocopsh Tribe at Los Angeles, aud the tribe, though only instituted since June 1,is in a very flourisking condition. Pawnéo Tribe of Alameda is making a steady gain in membership, and the tribal degree team is having & busy time converting pale- faces 1nto Redmen. White Eagle Tribe No. 72, located at Twenty- fourth street and Potrero avenne, will receive & visit from the great chiefs and a large delega- tion of members from other tribes at their council on October 29. A 0. U.
