4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1595. ROAMS NEAR FRESNO, Two Woodchoppers’ Camps Visited by Outlaw Crowley. ADMITS HIS IDENTITY. The Fugitive Boasts That He| Will Escape From His Pursuers. OFFICERS PLAN AN AMBUSH. They Will Lie in Wait at a Point Likely to Be Passed by the | Bandit. | FRESNO, CavL., Nov. 30.—Phil Crowley, Alameda County’s outlaw, is still at large in the western part of this county, between Mendota and Firebaugh, about thirty-five miles from this city. Constable Adams and his deputy of Medota and Constable Swansen and his deputy of Firebaugh were out all last night and to-day looking for Crowley, but failed to find him. Crowley called at two woodchoppers’ camps on the river this morning and ob- tained food. At one place he traded his shotgun to a woodchopper for a coat, which the fugitive said he needed badly as he did not bave one. At both camps visited by the escaped convict he boldly announced that he was Phil Crowley, who had been so diligently searched for in Alameda County. He said that he was going to get out of the country and be a free man, or die in the attempt. Crowley’s actions were very strange, and the woodchoppers felt much more comfortable after he had left them. Constable Adams telephoned to the Sheriff's office here last evening, stating | that he was confident that Crowley was in this county. The constable told of the search he had made, and upon being ques- tioned by Under-Sheriff Berry, said that he needed help. Berry informed him that the Sheriff's office stood ready to assist in the chase whenever the constable should so desire. The Sheriff’s office did not send out a posse | this morning, as the conclusion was reached that the report of Crowley’s pres- ence in this county, as received last even- ing, was a hoax. Later to-night Constable Adams was called up by a CALL correspondent. The constable said that he had just returned, | after being out for twenty-four hours in | search of the bandit. He stated that he was positive that Crowley was in the | orush on the bank of the river between Mendota and Firebaugh. | It was his opinion that Crowley, who had learned during the day, judging from the remarks that he made to persons whom he met, that the officers were on his trail, would go up the river during the night and 1n the morning would be somewhere between Mendota and Herndon. Adams said that he would be at a cer- tain open point on the river early in the | morning waiting for Crowley to pass. The | country is thickly o¥ergrown with brash— “half a mile high,” as the constable ex- pressed it—and the fugitive can easily con- ceal himself with the officers only ten feet away. Adams will therefore lie with his posse at the open place on the river, which Crowley will have to cross if the Con- stable’s theory that he will go up the river to-night is correct. The officers will, at this place, have little difficulty in ambush- ing the fugitive. Constable Adams stated that his posse ive’s trail early this morn- ing, and they did not have much difficulty | in following his tracks in the sand. He | would sometimes go down into the river | bottom and then get up on the bluffsagain. | Constable Adams believes that he was close upon Crowley at one time during the day, but the outlaw doubled and by taking a different path slipped away. Crowley has been seen by several per- gons, and they are all positive that he is the man from Alameda County, as he claims to be. On Friday morning, about 9 o'clock, Crowley walked boldly through the town of Firebaugh. Many people saw him, and when shown the pictures and descriptions of the bandit, all said that it | was he who paid the town avisit. Deputy that Crowley was in Fresno about two weeks ago and disposed of some of the cutlery which he secured in the robbery of | a store at Danville, County. : The Constable knew that Crowley, who went by his right name while here, sold such goods in Chinatown, and suspected that they were stolen gooas, but the officer at that time had not received notice of the Danville robbery and had no reason to ar- rest Crowley. The Crowley who was here talliea exactly with the description and picture of the Alameda outlaw, but the officer did not receive this description until Crowley had left the cif JOY AT AN EARTHQUAKE. in Contra Costa Indians at Kyuguot, British Columbia,’ Thought the Shock Meant the Resurrection, VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 30.—Kyuquot, an Indian village on the west coast of Van- couver Island, received a severe shock of earthquake early this month which the natives avill long remember. Their little houses were shaken almost from their foundations, treesswayed and considerable damage was done. The natives regarded the strange dis- turbance as the ginning of the end, when their dead reiatives would rise from the earth and join them. They rejoiced greatly at the thought of such an event, and filled the air with sounds of gladness, firing off big guns, beating tin pans and otherwise creating noises heard for miles away. e g ALBANY'S YOUNG FIEND. Lioyd Montgomery Has Seemingly Be come a Kaving Maniac. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 30.—Lloyd Mont- gomery, the triple murderer, has to ail appearances become a maniac. Lastnight he was h .shouting in his cell, and when the jailer appeared he wua}uparam}y a raving maniac. He beat his face with his_fists, bit his hands and’ arms and crid, “they are trying to kill m Three physicians attended him and administered morphine and chloral. He soon became more quiet and this evening is apparently sane. Physicians are watching 'the case care- fully'and are not yet fully decided whether the madness is feigned for the purpose of making a plea of insanity or not. There is such an intense sentiment against the ssassin_ that, though a court should acquit him on the grounds of irsanity, the people would nevertheless demand his life., SHOT HIS PET MARE. F. D. Sheffer Thought He Was Firing at a Grizzly Bear. SANTA ANA., Car, Nov. 30.—F. D. Sheffer, a well-known rancher, residing in Trabuca Canyon, shot and killed his driv- ing mare, Annie Rooney, the other night, | mistaking her for a grizzly bear. Two large bears had been seen in that vicinity, and Mr. Sheffer was awakened about niid- night by a noise at his window. Looking in that direction he saw the head of the animal. Satisfied that it was one of the grizzlies standing on its hind feet, he procured his rifle and sent a bullet into its brain. The next morning he discovered that be had killed his faithful mare. The Sedgwick Corps, G. A. R., of which he is a member, threatens to give him a drum-head trial on his next appearance in this city. DITCHED A Great Novtnern Passenger Train De- railed by a Bowlder. SPOKANE, Wasn, Nov. 30.—Great Northern passenger train No. 4, west- vound, was ditched west of Troy late this | afternoon by striking a bowlder on the track. The engine, baggage and mail cars left the track. Engineer John 8mith was fatally hurt, and Fireman McDonald was injured. McDonald was badly scalded. A ‘wrecking train left this city for the scene of the accident. N EXILE AT IAMSA, P. A. Demens, Who Was Driven Out of Russia, Is Writing a Book. Incurred the Displeasure of the Czar Alexander II by Disobedience of Orders. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 30.—P. A. Demens, a Russian exile now a resident of Iamosa, twenty miles from this city, is writing a book on ‘‘America and the American System of Government,”” which will be printed in the Russian language and published in Russia. Mr. Demens fled from Russia to the United States in 1877, having been exiled by Alexander II. He settled in Florida, where he supported his family by working as a millhand at small wages. Since coming to California he has amassed a for- tune, and has now the leisure to inform his fellow-countrymen, through his cor- respondence with Russian newspapers of the doings of Russians in this country, and hopes to tell them something of value in his book. At one time he held a high official posi- tion in Russia, being a Grand Marshal of one of the leading provinces of the empire. In this position he was also at the head of the judicial system, being the Chief Jus- tice of the Court of Appeals. In orderto carry out his ideas of ruling a nation, Czar Alexander II created what was known as the Star Chamber Court for the purpose of disposing of all political offenders, and to the position of chief of this court the Czar appointed Mr. Demens. All offenders who were brought before this court left all hope behind, as the Czar’s orders in advance were to inflict the death penalty. But this manner of pro- cedure did not at all coincide with Mr. Demens views. He knew full well that under the laws of Russia the Czar had no right to establish the court, and when cases came for trial Mr. Demens, being satisfied that the accused had committed no crime that should require the death sentence, would decline to impose the sentence. Thus he incurred the wrath of the Czar, who exiled the Demens family and confiscated all their property. Poverty and hard labor had no terrors for Demens.” Arrivingin America a free man, his natural intelligence and thorough edu- cation brought him into the front rank of Russo-American citizens. He is a man of pleasant address, and is a great admirer of everything that is American. He has a beautiful home at Samosa, and 1s respected by all who know him. e SAN BERNARDINO SO4AP FACTORY. 1ilinois Manufacturers Find a Splendid Opening at That Place. SAN BERNARDINO, Carn., Nov. 30.— The present outlook is very bright for the establishment of a soap manufactory in this city by an Eastern firm. For some days past P. P. Goodnow of Salem, Iil., has been looking over the grounds in the matter and expresses himself as very favorably impressed with what he has so far seen. He has written to his brother in Chicago in regard to the matter and expects an auswer in a few days to go ahead and make arrangements and that his brother will join him. The latter is & chemist and thoroughly understands the soap business. It is the plan of the firm to make the finest of toilet soaps, tar soaps and the common yellow bar soup. They expect to 1st of January next. Mr. Goodnow claims they can manufac- ture the same quality of soap that the Los Angeles factory turns out at a cost of $3 to 375 for from $2to $250. He makes this assertion because all of the materials neces- sary, borax, soda, potash, etc., are pro- duced in this county, and in abundance. In conjunction with soapmaking Good- now Brothers will also manufacture starch and baking powder, making the latter in its pure state, and at a price which will undersell any of the Eastern makers. Mr. Goodnow has the support of the leading ‘property-owners. BT R ARROWHEAD - WATERMAN ROAD. The Deal at San Bernardino Closed and the Company Organized. SAN BERNARDINO,CAL., Nov. 30,—The transfer of the San Bernardino, Arrow- head and Waterman road was completed to-day. The new company organized with the old name. The directors are 0. H. Kohl, Walter Kohl, John_ Anderson, F. Kobl and Louisa Kohl; O. H. Kobi, presi- dent; Walter Kohl, vice-president; John Anderson Jr., secretary. On_the transfer Receiver Broderick of the defunct First National Bank received | $12,000 on account of the road’s obligation to the bank, nearly enongh for another 10 per cent dividend to the depositors. The road will be opened on January 1 next. Electric Line at San Bernardino. SAN BERNARDINO, Car.,, Nov. 30.— There is a movement on foot to convert the E street road into an electric line. The road runs from the Santa Fe depot through the business and residence portion of the city. Tt is believed the Santa Fe is behind the deal and will run the road in connec- tion with trains, to _overcome the advan- tages the Southern Pacific has from a cen- trally located depot. — Will Sue the Festival Committee, SAN BERNARDINO, Oan., Nov. 30.— The grand festival in September left a de- ficit of $1800, covered by a guarantee fund of over $2000. 8o far the guaranty signers have failed torespond. Creditors have de- cided to bring suit_for their claims, and have agreed to assign them to John Flagg, and employed attorneys. Many of the signers will pay without suit. e i e Died at Seattle. SEATTLE, Wasi., Nov. 30.—Abram Heilbron, a retired merchant, formerly engaged in the wholesale jewelry business in Boston, died to-night of Bright's dis- ease. Heilbron was a_ native of Dutch Gu'ana, and 69 years old, WANTS A LODI LINE Rumored Plan of the Val- ley Road to Secure an Extension. MAY ACQUIRE A FEEDER. A Probability That It Will Buy the Terminal Railway’s Rights. CONSTRUCTORS FORGING AHEAD Tracklaying Has Been Completed to a Point Twenty-Five Miles From Stockton. STOCKTON, Carn., Nov. 30.—A report has been circulated here to-day that the San Joaquin Valley Railway Company is about to acquire the rights of way, grades and improvements of the Stockton and . | have the factory in running order by the Constable Crutcher of this city believes | ; Lodi Terminal Railway, with a view of operating it as a feeder, and probably ex- tending it beyond Lodiinto the foothills. It is known that several railway com- panies are after the line, and it is thought that the Valley road has the inside track. The report will not be veritied by the Lodi Terminal people, but work on the line is at a standstill and it is very probable that a contemplated change of hands has caused a stop in the plans of the projectors in equipping it as an electric line. The Southern Pacific would naturally want the line, but the owners of the valu- able rights will not indicate their inten- tions. They will not even say that the line is for sale, but it is reasonable to sup- pose that if they received a tempting offer they would accept it. The Valley road track now extends twenty-five miles into the country and the construction gang is operating a short dis- tance above the Burwood schoolhouse. The timbers for the Stanisl#us bridge are being moved forward over the company’s own line, as they are nearer to the crossing point than the Southern Pacific. The work of making connection with the water front is nearly finished and materials will soon be hauled from Weber avenue on the company’s own cars, The rain delayed work only a few hours. It was feared that it might delay opera- tions for some time, but as soon as the sun came out the gang resumed work. e VALLEY ROAD ACCIDENT. A Teamster's Horses Struck by One of the New Engines. STOCKTON, Car., Nov. 30.—The first accident on the Valley road occurred this afternoon. Asoneof J. D. McDougald’s teamsters was driving a load of coal across the track running to the lumber yards one of his horses was struck by a loco- motive hauling a carload of rails. Theengine was stopped in time to pre- vent the horses being run over. 'The frightened animals started to run, throw- ing the driver out and cutting his face badly. The wagon was soon demolished and the coal strewn over the street. Investigating Couliterville Lands. STOCKTON, Car., Nov. 30. —In the United States Land Office there is a case under investigation relative to the mineral character of certain lands near Coulter- ville, which were entered upon and paid up under the the timber and stone act of 1878, The investigation is being con- ducted by a special agent, under the direc- tion of the Department of the Interior. In case it shows the land to be more valua- ble for mineral purposes than for timber the land will revert to the Government. SN JOSES WILL CISE Eva Rose Barron’s Motion for a New Trial Argued and Submitted. Attorney Leib Denies That the Widow Unduly Influenced the De- cedent. SAN JOSE, Car., Nov. 30.—In the pro- ceedings before Judges Lorigan and Rey- nolds on the motion for a new trial of the Barron will case, H. V. Morehouse took up one hour of the court’s time this morn- ing to conclude his argument on behalf of George E. Barron, the contestant. M. C. Hassett followed and spoke for an hour in opposition to the motion. Judge Garber began his closing argument at 11 o’ciock, and spoke nearly three hours, re- viewing the previous arguments and point- ing out the law in regard to the motion for the new trial. He made a masterly plea for his clients, the three minor children of Eva Rose Barron.- 8. F. Leib took: an hour and three - quarters to .present the case of Eva Rose Barron. He argued that if the second wife bad any influence over Edward Barron she would have induced him to make a will immediately after the marriage, but the evidence showed that no will was executed until the couple had lived together four years. “Mrs. Barron was a faithful wife for fourteen years,” said Mr. Leib, “during which time she did not get even a paltry $100 from her husband. She wanted a home in S8an Francisco and begged her husband to do that much for nher, but he never did. That does not look as though she had undue influence over him.” Nicholas Bowden, representing several charity bequests, made his closing argu- ment in just three minutes, and at 5 o_'c‘lock the motion was submitted for de- cision. WANTED IN SAN FRANCISCO. Swindler Arthur Avlington Arrested for the Third Time, SAN JOSE, CarL., Nov. 30.—Arthur Ar- lington, the aged swindler who succeeded in fleecing a number of working girls of this city out of various sums, was exam- ined before Justice Gass this morningon a charge of swindling Mary E.

OROVILLES BOLD BANDIT, Series of Hold-Ups Conducted by a Single Masked Road Agent. The Property of One Victim Returned Because He Declared That He Was a Poor Man. OROVILLE, Car., Nov. 30.—A series o robberies were committed three miles south of here this afternoon about 4 o’clock. The robber wore a red handker- chief over his face, black slouch hat, black coat and vest, blue overalls and heavy shoes run over on the side. He was about 24 years of age. Harvey Seeley of the Central House was the first to have a pistol pointed at him and commanded to hold up his hands. He was relieved of $225. A few minutes later John D. Westwood of the same place was relieved of his small change. Later came C. E. Porter driving a double team. He was also stopped and robbed, but the amount taken was not learned. Eben Boalt and C. D. Woodman of Palermo were the next called on to halt and turn over their change. Boait was robbed of $30 and Woodman gave up 9 cents. The latter was asked by the robber, “Are you a poor man?” Boalt answered “Yes,” and his money was given back. They then drove on a short distance and turned around with the intention of noti- fying the officers, when they were aeain confronted by the robber and ordered to return. On arriving at Palermo the officers were notified, and Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Thomas Dooley started in pursuit. It is supposed that this is the same man who tried to hold up the Forbestown stage a few days ago. Stole a Visalia Dog.

Only a Small Block of the One Hundred and Twenty-five Thousand Unsold. GRAND PANORAMA OF SCENERY. The Route Along the Mountain Will Present Admirable Advantages to the Traveler. MILL VALLEY, CaL., Nov. 30.—A com- pany will be formed in a few days to build the Tamalpais Mountain railroad. The cost of constructing the road has been es- timated at $100,000, and the operating ex- penses at $750 a month. It bas been fully decided to erect a power-house in Mill Valley, as engineers have declared the plan of conducting the electricity from San Rafael, as was the original intention, to be impracticable for the reason that one-fourth of the power is lost by coming a distance of more than ten miles, The capital stock of the company will be $125,000, all ‘of which, with the exception of $20,000, has been placed. ‘The $20,000 worth remaining will be offered to the peo- ple of Mill Valley, but in case they do not take it all, then the amount remaining will be taken up by those who have already secured g majority of the stock. Neither the North Pacific Coast Railroad Company nor the Donahue line will be allowed to control any of the stock in the road. It 1sthe intention of the projectors of the Tamalpais Mountain road to be en- tirely free of control by other railroads, and it is possible that the original plan to run boats in connection with the electric- cars will be carried out. The terminus of the road has not been decided upon, nor have the surveyors com- pleted their work; but itis claimed that the road will tap the lines of both rail- roads—the North Pacific Coast road at Mill Valley and the Donahue line at Reeds, some three miles from here. The majority of the stock of the Moun- tain road will be beld by the officers of the Tamalpais Land and Water Company, and they will have entire control. Sidney B. Cushing, representing the electric light company, will be the next largest share- hoider. E. Steele, a real-estate dealer, who bas the placing of the stock in Mill Valley, said that the people would undoubtedly take up the entire $20,000 worth that has been set aside for them. > Gus D. Avery, engineer of the survey corps, the man who first asserted through Tuk CaLr that an 8 per cent grade eould be obtained upon the mountain, and which virtually settied the, question of building the road, said to-day: “Our work of running the line is about cor. ¢ted, We lave gone over five miles oft /Wway and have only two miles yet to run®™hich we expect to finish within two weeks, 1 do not know where the terminus of the road will be. We have not run the line that far yet. Starting from a point just between the two highest peaks of Tamalpais, the road will run for one-fourth of a mile directly north, then westerly about two miles. On the first quarter of & mile there will be & tunnel about 150 feet in length. “This is the only tunnel on the entire distance of seven miles, and will form a unique feature of the route, for the traveler on coming out of the tunnel will catch the first glimpse of the Pacitic Ocean. On the two-mile strip one will be able to ontain an excellent view of the rugged coast of Marin County for a distance of twenty-five miles to the north and south. “The road will then turn, and for a dis- tance of three miles run in a northeasterly direction. On this stretch the road will wind in and out among the ravines and for the greater partof the distance over trestles. On this run a view of the bay of 8an Francisco will be bad, while in the distance Mount Diablo and the Coast Range will present a beautiful background for the cities and towns nestling at their bases. San Rafael and San Quentin are plainly visible from this point, and the change of scene from the vrecipitous cliffs by the ocean to the verdure of the valleys is one that appeals most forcibly to the traveler and sightseer. “The survey corps has already spent three weeks upon the mountain and we have had a good time with plenty of work to keep us busy. We also ex,{!fienced a number of amusing incidenfs. The first night on the mountain it rained and the ridgepole of the tent was broken by the force of the wind. We were compelled to sleep without shelter from the rain. We dug manzanita roots and with these we managed to build big fires and keep warm. “The balance of the survey will not be difficult and we will probably finish within two weeks. We are now about a mile and three-quarters from Mill Valley, and our line will be run toward the northeast so as to strike the head of Blythedale Canyun, down which the road will run into Mill Valley, but I do not know just where we will terminate. Mr. Cushing and others interested in the road will probably decide that.” i Running Out the Thieves. MILL VALLEY, Carn, Nov. 80. = A. Franklin and George Smith, otherwise known as ‘“‘Smithy,” were convicted to- day in Justice Fotrell's court of stealing bran from the cars of the North Pacific Coast Railroad. On condition that they left the valley to-morrow, never to return, the Justice allowed them their freedom. One of the men has already lett and the other says he will go to-morrow.

Sdtiiy s Cyolists Come to Grief. SANTA ANA, CaL, Nov. 30.—W. L. Hobleitzell, W. E. Sadler and George Meier are the names of three wdll-dressed bicycle riders who have visited Santa Ana this week. They started from Washing- ton, D. C., some time ago, without money, on a tour around the world. They were not to beg, but were compelled to earn their sustenance as they proceeded. Here their principal source of revenue was writ- ing cards. Wednesday night they in- dulged in a three-cornered fight, which re- sulted in Hobleitzell nearly losing a finger in Sadler’s mouth. Friday they were fined $5 each, and given a “floater.”” Hobleit- zell has telegraphed East for money to re- turn home. He has tired of being a “pro- fessional.” SR SO CRAZY HORSE AT SANTA ANA. Arthur Lyons’ Anlmal Frightened Until He Became a Raving Horse- Maniac. SANTA ANA, Car, Nov. 30.—The 14- year-old family horse of Arthur Lyons of this city was so badly frightened by a varade of trained ponies and dogs that the old fellow seemed utterly to lose his reason and became a raving horse-maniac. He commenced proceedings by ranning away with Mr. Lyons, in spite of that gen- tleman’s efforts to control his aged pet. Running through Robert Payne’s yard, he narrowly missed two children playing there, demolished a clothesline, and finally broke the cart to pieces, pitching Mr. Lyons up into an apricot tree, where he received a number of painful scratches. The horse then climbed a cypress hedge, and was there caught. Upon reaching home with him, which was accomplished with difficulty, Mr. Lyons turned the old fellow into a corral, where he again_abandoned himself to a perfect frenzy. He would dash from one side to the other, utcerly unmindful of the fence, crashing into it with a force that threw him off his feet. Finally he broke through the fence and dashed madly off, and has not yet been captured. The beast presented a terrible appear- ance, with bulging, glaring eyeballs and open mouth, and gave every indication of being crazy as a loon. STANFORD PRIZE TALKS, Orators Preparing to Contest for the Valued Carnot Medal. Dr. Gilbert’s Collecting Expedition to Central America—“Co-Eds” at Tennis. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Nov. 30. — On Thursday or Friday of next week Dr. Gilbert will leave the university in company with three students of his selection for a collecting expedition to Central America. Accumulation of rare species of marine life is the special object of the trip, the outline of which was first announced in THE CALL several weeks ago. During the coming week the Carnot medal debaters will be assigned sides, and from now until the intercollege debate for the Conbertin prize takes place there will be an increasing degree of interest taken in this debate. M. de Conbertin last year, in order to stimulate interest among American students in French contem- porary histoay. offered his beantiful prize. It is a gold medal, called the Carnot medal in honor of the late French Presi- dent. The contest for the medal is open to students of the two universities, who are to debate upon some current French topic. e medal becomes the private property of the winner, which fact causes a greater number to strive for the prize than might otherwise be induced to enter the contest. Last year Sandwick '95 of Stanford won it. This year the number of contestants in the preliminaries promises to be much in excess of last year's number. On Friday and Saturday the “Co-eds’ will play off the tennis tonrnament {o settle the championship among the ladics, Miss Anna Martin at present holds the title. Her place will be contested now by Misses Webster, Phillips, Rose and Mark- ham, all of whom are skillful wielders of the racquet. e ie INLERIT VAST ESTATES.
