MURDERED IN THE HILLS Ghastly Find of a Deputy Sheriff Near the County Road. STORY OF A COMPANION. The Deceased Was Known to Carry a Snug Sum of Money When He Left Home. OAKRLAND OFFICE SAN FrANCIECO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Dec. 2. Felice Varni, an Italian, was found dead on the Haines ranch, near San Leandro, under such conditions as to make it cer- tain that a murder was committed. As Deputy Sheriff Hellar was driving along the county road this morning he saw a figure about 200 feet from the road, on the hillside. He at first thought it was a man asleep, and then the idea flashed across him that it might be the bandit, Crowley, back in this locality. As he ap- proached the man he saw that his head was covered with blood and that he had been killed. There were four charges from a shotgun in different parts of his body. With one exception the shots bad all been fired at short range. One shot destroyed the left side of the head; a second had penetrated the middle of the spinal column; a third had carried away a large portion of the upper right arm, and a fourth had entered the neck, just beneath the chin. ‘The matter was reported to the Sheriff's office and Deputy Al White went out and examined the vicinity of the t Five empty cartridge shells of a di pattern from those found in Var were on the ground near where the body lay. The gun which belonged to the de- ceased was lying by his side, and the offi- cers think from the way in which it was found that the murderer, after making sure that he had killed the man, placed the weapon by his side to create theimpression that it was suicide. After the body was brought to the morzue it was identified as Felice Varni, a young scavenger, who resides at 711 Myrtle street. Yesterday miorning he went out with four companions to hunt. His com- yanions_were Arata Felice, M. Ghirardelli, ohn Figono and De Vinchina. They all returned home yesterday at differsnt times. They say that after eating lunch together in the hills the\y all went different ways and no one saw Varni. When the murder was known in the dis- trict where Varni resided Mr. Ghirardelli, one of his companions, went to the morgne and made a statement to the Coroner. | said that after eating lunch at 9:30 yester- | day morning the hunters separated.” Varni | was in company with Arata, Devenchensa jand another man whose name is not known. After going a short distance | Avata said that he separated from thc | others about 10:15, and that was the last { he saw of Varni alive. Ghirardelli says that the agreement among the hunters was that they should all meet at Johnson’s saloon on the San Leandro road. He was first there, then Arata and Figono came, and they decided to go home alone. That was all any of them knew of Varni, as they had not seen him since. The deceased’s landlady, Mrs. Pizzolo, called at the morgue this evering an stated that she thought the motive for the murder was robbery, as Varni had $75 in his possession when he left home. This evening John M. Ghirardelli, Arata Vinci and G4 Layaretto were take» to the Sheriff’s officd and the deposition of each was taken. The only story that lacked completeness was that of Ghirardelli, ana in many respects it differed materially The_ Sheriff re- leased all but Ghirardelli, but decided that there was too much that was suspicious to warrant his release at present. JUNIORS ARE UP IN ARMS, They Are Looking for the Man Who Countermanded Their Order for an Orchestra. Convention of the College Young Men's Christian Association — Brief News Notes of Interest. BERKELEY, Cir., Dec.2.—The junior class of the university is overflowing with indignation. They are after the individ- ual who countermanded their order for the orchestra at their farce last Saturday. In consequence of this order not a musical note was heard during the entire perform- ance save the few short selections ren- dered by the '97 Glee Club. The lack of music, of course, detracted much from the success of the production, and what makes them feel so keenly wrought up is the fact that the lack of music was due to no fault of their own. Several persons have been suspected of having bad a hand in the af- fair, but no definite clew seems to have yet been arrived at. The same trick of telegraphing the musicians that their ser- vices were not wanted was played on the freshmen at their gleeabout six weeks ago, but the members of '97, thinking that upper classmen were above such petty tricks, did not post the musicians. Some of the more irritable members of the class declare that if the person who Xerpef.mted the ‘“freshman game'’ is found out they will make it more than warm for him. College Y. M. C. A.

OAKLAND OFFicE Sax Frawcisco CALL,] 908 Broadway, Dec. 2. | Robert Smilie, the owner of the lumber at the foot of Harrison street, which was removed by Mayor Davie when he opened the street Thursday night, intends to get satisfaction from somebody. He does not know whether to sue the city or the Mayor individually, but is ot the opinion that he will proceed against the Mayor. “I have had lumber there for a couple of years,”” said Mr. Smilie, “and I was not simply holding the ground for the purpose of improving the titie of the railroad com- pany. I paid rent for the premnises. The reason for extending the trestle from the entrance place on First street across the lines of Harrison street to Alice is that teams would drive on atone end and off at the other. If the trestle does not ex- tend across Harrison street it would be of no use atall.” i3 Mayor Davie says that Mr. Smilie’s in- tentions or the ideas of the Pacific I'm- provement Company do not worry him in the least. The street should be open to the water front and he has the right to remove any obstructions. About two years agzo there was a resolu- tion passed by the Council declaring that all streets should be opened to the water { front. The matter wes considered by the attorneys who were employed at that time by the city and they so advised. No de- fense can be made to stealing a street and the Mayor does not fear consequences from opening them. If the city takes advan- tage of the street now open it can easily build a wharf at the foot of Harrison street, similar to the Franklin-street wharf. This should be done at once and the filling should be commenced at once. Should Mr. Smilie bring suit it is not likely that he will recover any damages. When Mayor Pardee opened Broadway the raitroad company brought several damage suits against the Mayor, the city and the Councilmen as individuals, but nothing came of them, and it is not likely that Mr. the corporation. and completing the grade was taker from the urgent necessity fund and the work cost $200. This is the cheapest street opening that hus been done in Oakland. A policeman is kept on guard, but o at- tempt has as yet been made to close up the street. ————————————— THE STOCK MARKET.
