H An Exciting Game Is Expected on Wash- ington’s Birthday. { VALLEJO, Car., Feb. 20.—There prom- ises to be an exciting game of football at | Vallejo on Washington’s birthday between Farragut eleven of Vallejo and the St. | Mary’s College eleven of Oakland. It will be remembered that the St. Mary’s boys defeated the Farraguts just a year ago, and since then the Farraguts have strengthened their team considerably, and have won several games during the past season; in fact, they have only been de- feated twice since they have been organ- ized—once by the St. Mary’s team, then by the Peerless eleven (comprising some of the best players of the Olympics) after a hard-fought game. The Farraguts and St. Mary’s are pretty evenly matcued for Saturday’s game, and those who have seen the Farraguts play are of the opinion that the St. Mary’s eleven will have their hands full when they £0 on the gridiron at Vallejo. The St. Mary’s have with them such good men as Hanlon, Huff and McHugh, who greatly assisted the Reliance team in scor- Ing so many victories the past season. The make-up of the teams is as follows: Positions, O'Hara.. Kavanavgh ([ap Sroee INTERESTING TO WHEELMEN, Final Bulletin by the Retiring Racing Board of the League.

Raising Money to Secure the Services of a Big Chicago Coach. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Feb. 20.—The baseball management has hit upen another plan for raising money, but it is the threadbare method of voluntary subscriptions, and whether it will resultin the production of sufficient money is a question. The management is desirous of securing the services of William Lange, the big Chicago fielder and catcher, as a coach for the baseball nine. If enough money can be raised, Lange will teach the plavers what he can about our National game. The first inter-class field day will take place on February 29 between the sopho- mores and freshmen. Eventshave not yet been decided upon, but a large number of men of both classes are working to be in shape to enter the competition. — SUICIDE AT An Aged Man, Tirved of Life, Ends His Existence. SPOKANE, WasH., Feb. Daniel Ga- leucia, aged 65 years, who lives near Chat- taroy, this county, committed suicide this morning by shooting himself throuch the heart with a rifle. The gun was placed against the wall and the trigger pushed off with a stick. His life was somewhat of mystery, it being said that he once was a man of some prominence.’ He has lived with an old man called Peavine Jimmy for the past eight years. From papers on his person it 1slearned that he hasa wife at Peabody, Mass., but neighbers say he was divorced. Despondency is supposed to be the cause. THE WILLOWS TRAGEDY, All the Eye-Witnesses of the Killing Are Not Compelled to Testify. MPOKANE. The Prosecution Announces That It Is Ready to Rest Its Case. WILLOWS, Carn, Feb. 20.—In the Sehorn murder trial to-day, J. B. Wil- liams continued his testimony as follows: “I went up to arrest the defendant and was prevented by one McNorton, who said he had him under arrest. Loud talking and a gathering crowd caused me torun to the scene. The t shot was fired when I got whthin six or eight feet. Am pretty e one of the shots was fired around Mr. Hulett.”” H. W. Walker, son-in-law of deceased, identiiied a receipt for $42. signed by the defendant, June 1, 1895. He had refused to allow Lawyer Geis to take it away when he came for Sehorn. G. J. Furnish of Galt testified: “Iwas in Willows on the day of the shooting. w defendanton the eveningof the homi- cide. I was onmy way to the hotel. De- fendant induced me to turn around and accompany him to Putman’s store, re- marking that Putman claimed he owed | him §$4; he also said Putman had accused Lim of having influenced the Board of Su- pervisors.” After waiting for half an hour for a wit- ness who did not put in an appearance, Attorney Swinford announced that the prosecution rested. The defense was un- prepared for this and begged the court for | a little time to get ready, and were granted one hour. Attorney Albery insisted on the court | corrpelling the prosecution to put on the | stand all of the eye-witnesses to the | tragedy, which was denied by the court. | Attorney Albery then outlined the de- | fense, saying that the defendant would | show that he was on a_perfectly peaceable mission to settle a bill at the request of deceased. That when turning to leave the scene he was dealt a heavy blow and shot to save his life, as he supposed. G. J. Furnish testitied: *I wasat the scene of the shooting. Sehorn said, ‘If I owe you $4 I will pay you.” Putman'com- menced the difficulty by striking Sehorn in the face, knocking him partially down."’ Witness was turned over to Swinford for cross-examination. The witness’ testi-| mony was very contradictory to that given at the preliminary examination. At the hour of recess Swinford was making it exceedingly warm for the witness. SHATA CRUZ COURTHOLSE The Supervising Architect Is Removed on Account of His Unsatistactory Work. Bondsmen Will Be Held Responsible for Any Damages That May Result. SANTA CRUZ, Carn., Feb. 20.—A reso- lution was to-day adopted by the Board of Supervisors discharging N. A. Com- stock, the supervising architect from San Francisco of the new courthouse, and in hisstead Thomas Beck, the superinten- dent of constructon, was selected. He will instruct Contractor McCabe to resume work to-morrow, the first thing to be done being the strengthening of the tower wall, the defect in which was the original cause of the stoppage of work. The board will hold the bondsmen of Comstock responsible fordamages that may have resulted may yet result from his work. The preamble to the resolution states, in part, that ‘‘Comstock has willfully neg- lected to supervise the construction and erection of such building; that by reason of the neglect and failure of said Comstock as supervising architect to perform the duties required of him as aforesaid, the said courthouse building is not bein erected in accordance with said plans an specifications; that said Comstock as such supervising architect has allowed insuffi- | cient and defective work to be done upon such building, and poor and insufficient material to be used in the construction of said building, and has willfully and know- ingly allowed the construction of said building to proceed, in many important particulars at variance with the said plans and specifications both as to the mechani- cal work and the materials used therein, contrary to his duties as supervising archi- tect and greatly to the damage of said county of Santa Cruz.” c——— Freano’s First Chinese Voter. mm= FRESNO, Carn., Feb. 20.—I1 Moan, a Chinese, was to-day registered as a voter in Fresno—the first in the history of the county.

BRUTAL MURDER T EDOIN: A Young Man Shot by a Faro-Dealer Without Provocation. HAPPENED IN A SALOON. The Victim Was Joking With the Proprietor of the Place at the Time. DIED WITHOUT A STRUGGLE. The Murderer Is Captured and Nar- rowly Escapes Being Lynched. REDDING, CAL., Feb. 20.—This evening at6o'clock & murder was committed at the Tiger saloon on California street, in which Johnny Ward was killed and a man named Ryan is his slayer. Ryan is a fat Irishman, weighing about 210 pounds. About two months ago he came'here from Oregon, and since that time he has been dealing faro and other games at the Tiger saloon, owned by John Neail. Attimes he would tend the bar during the absence of the regular bar- keeper. Heis a quarrelsome fellow and about 40 years old. The victim, Ward, isa voung man not over 26 years of age and has always been known as a quiet fellow. He was em- ployed in a bridgegang on the Iron Mount- ain Railroad and was a hard worker. To- day he had been drinking around at vari- ous saloons and was in the habit of joking with the barkeeper about paying for the | drinks, but he invariably put up the cash. At 6:15 o’clock this evening he sauntered into the Tiger saloon. He was perfectly sober and, stepping up to the bar, called | for the drinks for himself and three of his | friends. Ryan was standing near by, but | not drinking. John Neail, the proprietor, was tending bar, and after serving the drinks asked, *Well, who's to pay for these drinks?”’ Young Ward remarked in a jocular way, “Why, you're going to pay for them,” ad- dressing Neail, at the stame time reaching his hand in his pocket for the cash. At this Ryan, who was standing about four feet away, pulled a pistol from his pocket, walked straight up in - front ot Ward, placed the muzzle at Ward’s face and deliberately fired, remarking as he did so: “You — — — ——, don’t you treat | the oid man so.” Ward fell to the floor with a bullet- hole through his cheek and the jugular | vein severed. A great pool of blood lay at bis head. He died without a struggle. The murderer, after firing the shot, broke | and ran through the rear door of the sa- 1oon and escaped in the darkness. The | officers were notified, and in ten minutes | the murderer was found hiding on the | roof of the Welcome Restaurant, on Te- hama street, He was taken down, placed under arrest and immediately conveyed to the County Jail. A great mob followed him to the jail, eager to get hold of him, but the officers carefully guarded the prisoner. Ward and Ryan are said to have been perfect strangers. It is said by some that Ward whipped Ryan u year ago, but no credence is given to the rumor, as Ryan is twice the size of his victim. The pistol with which Ryan did the shooting belonged to Neail and was taken | from behind the bar by Ryan some time during the day. This alternoon Ryan was seen to step from the sidewalk in front ot the saloon, pick up a couple of rocks and put them in his pocket. What this action meant no one knows. | There are hundreds of Iron Mountain | workmen in town to-night and the feeling | among them runs high against the mur- | derer. Should he fall into their hands it | would go hard with him. The body of the murdered man was re- moved to the Morgue at 7 o’clock and an inquest is now being held. Ryan says be pointed the pistol at Ward | simply to intimidate him. He says he | did not know the pistol was a self-cocker and is sorry for the killing. Ward’s father is a drayman, living at Red Bluff. He has been notified and the remains will probably be taken there for burial. WAS IT PHILIP CROWLEY ? Desperate Encounter of a San Jose Constable With a Bold Highwayman. The Officer Narrowly Averts Death and the Prisoner Makes His Escape. SAN JOSE, CaL., Feb. 20.—A desperate highwayman made a bold and. successful break for liberty this evening shortly after 8 o'clock and attemptied to murder Polics- man Menroe. The affray occurred in the. business por- tion of the city at the corner of Santa Ciara and First streets at 2 time when the streets were filled with people. The highwayman, whose name is un- known, but who is suspected to be Philip Crowley, the Alameda outlaw, was ar- rested by Constable Ed Haley on Santa Clara street. The offizer suspected him of havinz robbed Charles Berryman, a hack- driver. The latter was held up by a masked man on the Los Gatos road at 7 o’clock and robbed of a gold watch and $10 in coin, t Mr. Berryman was driving from Los Gatos and was accomvanied by his wife. The affair was reported to the officers, and from the description furnished by Berry- man Constable Haley made the arrest. The robber was a powerful man and Haley decided to take no chances, so he drew his pistol and placed the muzzle against the supposed robber’s side. In this manner he walked with the man to First street, where he asked Officer Monroe to take charge of his prisoner for a few minutes until he could step across Lqe street and get Berryman to identify 1. ‘When Hale; turned to go across the street the ro ber drew his pistol and the pistol aside and as he did so the robber fired a shot and the bullet struck the pave- ment. Monroe had his overcoat buttoned and was unable to reach for his pistol. He pulled his club and struck the man over the head. The burglar then attempted to shoot the officer in the face and as he did | 50 Monroe knocked the pistol aside with his lelt arm and struck his assailant with his club. The robber then struck at the officer and fired a shot, the bullet going through Monroe’s coatsleeve. The robber then made a dash for liberty and ran through Fountain alley to Second street, pursued by Officer Monrée and Constables Haley and Coschina. A fight in the alley fol- lowed, in which twelve shots were fired by the officers in pursuit. The robber turned twice and returned the fire. Afterleaving thealiey he dashed across Second street and made his escape through a yard to Third street. During his encounter in the alley with the officers he was probably struck by one of the bullets fired by the officers, for drops of blood were found four blocks away where he had gone after his fight with-the officers in the alley. No further trace of the robber could be found from this point. R Austrian Colony for Mendocino Cownty. UKIAH, Car., Feb. 20.—A party of fifty- four immigrants arrived in this city to- day. They are Austrians and have pur- chased the Eden Valley ranch, forty miles north of this city. The colony will consist of nearly 300 families when all shall have arrived. Theleader of the party is a priest named Father Jeram. SAN DIEGD IS WAKING 0P, Talks of Establishing a Steam- ship Line With Japan- ese Ports, All the Officers of Ships in the Har. bor to Be Banqueted by Business Men. SAN DIEGO, Car., Feb. 20.—Consider- able interest is being manifested by busi ness men in a letter lately received from | Japan looking to the establishment of a steamship line connecting 8an Diego with a Japanese port. It appears that about all the cotton used | in Japan is obtained in this country and the proposed line of vessels is to be usea primarily in the transportation of this class of produce. Since the Japanese con- tracts for cotton in vast quantities were placed with American firms not long ago, over 1200 carloads of the product have been shipped through the port of San Francisco. The agent of the Japanese manufacturers, it is reported, is A. H. Butler, formerly of | this city, and whose untiring activity was at the bottom of the establishment of the Otav watch-factory plant in one of the | Japanese cities. He recommended this port to the projectors of the steamship line in guestion and the Chamber of Com- merce has been instructed to keep up an active correspondence with the Japanese representatives. The Chamber of Commerce took steps at a meeting to-day looking to a grand ban- quet to be tendered by the business men of the city to all the officers of the ships in the narbor. Within a few daysthe Alert, Marion and Thetis will be in port, and their officers, with those of the flagships Philadeiphia, Monterey and Albatross, will make a goudly number. The date of the banquet has not been fixed, but it will probably be given within a few days. In | extent and elegance it is intended to make it like the banquet given by the business | men of the city several years ago to the officers of the Itata, Mexican warship Democrata, and other vessels, WILD RUSH FOR WEALTH The Colville Indian Reservation Opened for the Location of Mining Claims. A Repetition of the Exciting Scenes and Incidents of the Cherokee Strip. SPOKANE, Wasm., Feb. 20.—The intel- ligence that the President had signed the bill opening nalf of the Colville Indian Reservation to the location of mining claims was received here a few minutes after the signature had been affixed and from here the news was spread by tele- graph and mounted couriers to thousands ot gold-seekers, who for four days have been gatbering on the borders of the reser- vation waiting to make a rush into the new gold fields. When the news reached the various points a wild scramble for wealth began. The vast majority are entering that wild region with no clear idea of where they will seek the great stores of hidden min- eral known to exist there. They only want to get there first, somewhere, any- where, so as to get the richest claims, Tt is well nigh impossible to prospect that region at this time owing to snow, but this fact does not in the least check the mad desire to join in the rush. It is only a question of ‘‘sooners,” as they will not be able to make any kind of locations until the snow goes off. Every one going into the reserve is heavily armed. It isan oven secret that if “‘soon- ers” are found located in advance they will be run out of the country or given short shrift. Hundreds are preparing to leave this city in the morning to join in the race for wealth. A MADMAN IN THE PULPIT Sacramentans Thrown Into a Panic During the Marshall Revival Services. Terrific Struggle With the Officers Before the Man Was Overpowered. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Feb. 20.—Shortly helfxre the commencement of the Marshall revival services this evening, which are being held in the Sixth-street Methodist Church in this city, and while the edifice was crowded with the waiting congrega- tion, an insane man entered the church and assumed possession of the pulpit. After announcing that he had been anointed by the Creator he began a series of antics ti‘;nt spread dismay among the congregation. The police were sent for and acting Police Captain Ash and Officer Douglas promptly responded. A ‘terrific struggle ensued, creating the greatest excitement among the congrega- tion, but the officers eventually succeeded in throwing him to the floor and hand- cuffing him, after which he was conveyed to the police station. . As far ascan be learned he is a stranger in the city. He gives the name of Henry Bluomington, and_when searched at the | case if service had only to be made in the JESSE POTTER REMOVAL SUIT A Motion to Reopen the| Cause Is Denied by Judge Buck. A SENSATION IN COURT. Potter Held to Be Guilty of Per- jury, but Competent to Act as Executor, ORDERS ENTERED BY THE CLERK | There Is Now No Straw to Indicate How the Litigation Will End. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Feb. 20.—The Potter removal suit was before Judge Buck’s court again to-dayon a motion made by J. H. Campbell, attorney for the German heirs of the Charles Lux estate, toreopen the cause for the hearing of further testimony. Mr. Delmas, who is associated with Mr. Campbell in this smt, was absent, and so also was Mr. Pillsbury, senior counsel for Jesse Sheldon Potter. Mr. Campbell, in support of his motion, wished to present the depositions taken relating to the Sadie Young incident and the John Brown note, but Mr. Campbell was interrupted by Mr. McEnerney, who stated that he would object to the hearing of the motion, his contention being that the ten days’ notice of filing the motion, as required by law, had not been given, and that counsel for plaintiff was evi- dently laboring under the idea that five days’ notice was sufficient, as would be the same county in which brought. Mr. McEnerney further argued that an- other motion covering the same matter was alreadv under advisement, and that | under sections 182 and 183, Code of Civil Procedure, only one opportunity could be | taken to secure the relief that was desired. The facts were, that on last Thursday a motion was made to recpen and introduce new evidence; an objection was made and the matter was taken under advise- ment; on the same day a scheme was de- vised by plaintiffs to introduce the depo- sitions in another manner, and it almost | amounted to contempt of court. Under any circumstances, Mr. McEnerney said, | they had not received the ten days’ notice required by law. Mr. Campbell therefore glanced through | the coaes, and said yes, they had actedl under the assumptign of a five days’ no- | tice, and if ten days were required he | might as well stop right there. At th same time, the notice was an oversight | that had occurred in the routine of office- work and without his knowledge. He suggested that the matter might be cov- ered by filing a brief. Judze Buck interrupted Mr. Campbell and said that the filing of a brief would not be necessary. He should not grant the motion anyway, and the question was | not debatable even. Mr. Campbell said that, unfortunately, Mr. Delmas was absent, and that as it had fallen upon Mr. Delmas to conduct the case, he hoped that an opportunity wounld be granted for Mr. Delmas to be heard, | and that Mr. Delmas would not be fore- | closed. Judge Buck stated that he should not | consent to reopen the case. He held that | Jesse Potter had committed perjury, but he thought with Mr. McEnerney, that the | opinion of Judge de Haven was good, wherein the latter held that because a per- | son has committed perjury, it does not disqualify him to act as an executor. This ruling came as a peal of thunder from a clear sky, because when Judge Buck announced last Thursday that he | would hold that Jesse Potter had commit- ted perjury, it was taken as an indication that Jesse Potter would be made to suffer accordingly. At the above point in to-day’s proceed- ings Judge Buck directed Court Clerk Schaberg to enter the following orders: “In to-day’s motion to reopen the Potter removal suit, Mr. McEnerney’s objection sustained and motion dismissed. In the motion to reopen made February 13 and argued by Messrs. Delmas and McEner- ney, motion denied.” To-day’s action throws an element of uncertainty about the Jesse Potter litiga- tion, and there is now no straw to indicate which way the decision may go. The naming of Jesse Potter’s successor is ihe hone of contention. The various Charles Lux, Jesse Potter, Miller & Lux and out- side interests appear to be pulling togeth- er, but in opposite directions, in hope of securing the prize. The ninety day’s time within which a Superior Judge may render adecision does not expire in this instance until about the middle of March. TULARE'S FORTY THIEVES, Joe Middleton, Leader of the Gang, Is on Trial for Robbery at Selma. A Few of His Numerous Criminal Ex- ploits as Narrated by a Witness. the suit was FRESNO, CaAL., Feb. 20.—Joe Midd!eton, a former member of the Tulare forty thieves gang, who has just completed a term in the Kings County Jail, had his preliminary examination before the Jus- tice of the Peage at Selma. to-day, on a charge of robbing a sheepherder named Antone Palmitel last June, some miles south of Selma. Charles Barlow, 2 witness for the people, by the advice of Sherift Buckner of Kings County, gave some extremely sensational testimony tending to convict Middleton not only of the charge against him in this, but of many robberies and thefts in Tulare, Kings and Fresno counties. In the depredations, Middleton, so wit- ness declared, was associated with E. M. Jefferds and Claud Armstrong, both of whom are now in State prison. He said that Middleton had formerly been asso- station in gold coin was found upon ciated with the famous Dalton gang of train-robbers. The witness had -himself been an unwilling witness to some of Mid- | dleton’s crimes. A striking feature of Barlow’s testimony was that it exactly coincided with that eiven by the Portu- guese, Palmitel, who had been robbed. At the conclusion of Barlow’s testimony Middleton was held to_the Superior Court of this county with bail fixed at $3000, which he failed to give and is now in jail. Officers of both counties regard Barlow’s testimony as of the greatest importance, since it clears up many cases of theft and robbery heretofore wrapped in complete mystery. It is further betieved that by means of Barlow’s sworn statement the remaining portion of this band, which has been a sore affliction to stockmen in the counties named for many years, may be | completely broken up. Barlow, with great deliberation, located the three rendezvousof the outlaws, which | were at Camp Badger, famed by Evans and Sontag, Wildflower and Tulare Lake. G Sale of the Kansas City Times. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb, 20.—The Kansas City Times, a morning daily of Democratic principles, was sold under mortgage foreclosure = this afternoon. Wiley O.

He has fewer traits that leave a disagreeable memory than most of the rugged types of the world; and he has more of the genuine manly spirit than most people who get lauded for their conspicuous bravery. Accus- tomed to face hard times as well as ‘“‘the har- vest of plenty,” he learns, without knowing it almost, to sympathize with the “weak and weary.” And when things do not look par- ticularly roseate with him he accepts the con- diton of affairs with a complacency that is matchlessas well as admirable. One of the younger men who to-day are to be found try- ing to carve out for themselves “name and fame” in the mines {s Mr. A. Burton, Who is now In the great gold-bearing section of Grass Valley. Mr. Burton isan honest, good-natured fellow. He has had his share of misfortune right in the middle of his work with & most dangerous disease {t scemed as though fate had determined to “down him.” But he imme- diately “struck out” for the Hudson Medical Institute, the institution which has become so famous on account of the, wonderfully clever work of the specialists practicing there, and as a result he is back at work again, and thank- ful for what has been done for him. He has written as follows to the managers: GRASS VALLEY, CAL, Aug. 15, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco. Cal.— Gentlemen: I have received three letters from you which were sent to Downievilie. Ihave been to Gold Val to Nevida and through nearl all the mining camps ever since, and that was the reason that [ did not get my mail before. The medicine that I took did me lots of good, and shall scon send for some more. Yours respect fully, A. BURTON. So although Mr. Burton has not “struck it veryrich” in the mining camps recently he certainly made no mistake when he became, sick as to where to go. But every one has the same experience who applies 1o this “‘Meco: street. This morning there were bicycle races at the park, and most of the prizes went to Tucson. Slater, the Arizona won- der, was in three rnce:,i:ut did not get a place. The special train carrying the Los An- geles Merchants’ Association, 100 strong, leaves to-morrow for home, baving spent two days here.

SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Feb. 20.—The | water question received an electric shock | to-day, when a proposition was submitted to the City Council by James L. Barker, Assemblyman from this district, offering to supply the city with water from his tunnel in Cold Springs canyon, at the rate of $2000 for the first ten miner's inches, and $1500 for each additional inch. Mr. Barker’s tunnel, which he began | boring last summer on his own individual | responsibility, is now preducing an excess | of twelve and one half inches, and is being steadily pushed into the mountains with | every prospect of finding new streams as | it progresses. Experts agree that the sup- | ply is a permanent one, and as the entire | present supply of the city scarcely exceeds | the flow from the Barker tunnel in the dry | season, the offer becomes an important | one, and will receive serious consideration. | The site of the tunnel being bored at the expense of the city is only a few hundred | feet from the Barker tunnel, and it is altogether likely that the city will make‘ terms with Mr. Barker and unite the sup- ply from both tunnels in one supply pipe. | JETHEVERY BESTONETO EXAMINE YOUR oyes and fit them to Spectaciesor Kyegiassss with instruments of his cwn invention, Waoss iperiority has not been equaled.
