SLAIN IN HIS DWELLING The Victim's Wife Under Arrest for Complicity in the Killing. | MURDER FOLLOWS A QUARREL. I Intimate Friend of the Woman Believed to Have Assisted in the Homicide. TON, a, a bootbl Car., April L — Andrea k who formerly kept | hach’s saloon, was | ght. His wife is now in jail on suspicic wving been implicated The officers are con waskilled by her or re now looking for the in the homicide. tibat V after 1 o'clock this morning, Mrs. Vacaressa rushed from her house, which is located on Washington street | two blocks east of East street, and ran to | the honse of Manuel Silva. She awakened Silva and told him that burglars had en- tered their home 'and were trying to kil band. Sitva did not feel like ven- alone into the place, so he sought i of a neighbor, Antonio Rovetta. is neighbor and Mrs. Vacaressa he ) the latter’s home, but all three raid to enter without further as- sistance. They went to Constable Howe’s place, not far and aroused him. Howe hurrledly dressed, but. by this time nearly a half hour had elapsed. When the Constable reached the place he found the front door open &nd Vaca- | ressa’s body Iying in the doorw: About | the man’s neck was a small clothesline drawn tightly and tied to the knob of the door. Blood was gushing from his nose, mouth and ears, and he had been dead but a few minutes. There was every indication that there had been a desperate struggle, and the | house was in a state of disorder. The | drawers of the burean had been jaken -out | and the contents strewn about. Several | trunks bad been ransacked, as though the work had been done by burglars. There | was no great amount of money in the | bouse, and Vacaressa possessed no valua- | bles that would iempt thieves. | Howe notified the Sheriff’s office, and | séveral deputies hastened to the scene of the murder. Investigation led tothe be- | lief that death had not resulted from stran- gulation, but that the dead man had been struck over the head with some blunt in- strument and killed that way. The rone was not drawn tightly enough about the neck to cause death, and the opinion of the officers was that it was merely put there | to mislead them. There was blood on the foot of the bed and blotches of blood on | the floor in the two rooms, indicating that | Vacaressa had been killed in the bedroom and the body dragged to the front door. The Sheriff’s deputies soon learned that | the bootblack had a violent quarrel with | his wife earlier in the night and that they were fightine when a young man named Hall, who lives in the neighborhood, passed by the house. So violent was the | quarrel that a pane of glass was broken. It was slso learned from Italians who knew the couple well that the wife was enamored of another Italian, and that this was the cause of much trouble between her and her husband. According to the story told the officers by Mrs. Vacaressa, her husband came home intoxicated and went to bed with bis clothes on. This led to a ‘quarrel be- tween them, but she cldaimed that their troubles nad ended and that he was lying on the bed when the burglars entered. She at once flew outof the house and sought assistance. The officers doubted her story and conciuded to take her to jail. Investigation to-day confirms the be- lief that the woman knows who killed her husband. District Attorney Nutter interviewed Mrs. Vacaressa at the jail through an in- terpreter and had her answers taken down by a stenographer. “I do not know what time it was,” said the woman, “‘but it must have been after 1 o’clock, when a man came into the room where I was lying in bed. He was tall and wore a mask. He asked me for motiey, placing his fingers on my throat. I told him I did not have any, except $2 or $3 which I had 1n my dress lying near the bed. ThisI gave him, and. then he de- manded more. Itnhen told him that per- haps my husband had more money, but that I had not.. My husband woke up while we were talking aiia the man went around the bed to where he was. - He then attacked my husband and I ran out of the room, taking the children with me and their clothes and mine. I put my dress on outside of the house and went over to Mr. Silva's place. There 1 asked for shelter and told what had happened.” “Did the man speak to you in English or Italian?” was asked. “He spoke in English,” replied Mrs. Vacaressa. “There was only one burglar. He had on dark .clothes, but I could not tell anything else as to how he looked, for I was so frightened. I ran out of the house as soon as he attacked my husband.” “Did the man have anvthing in his| bhand ?’’ asked the District Attorney. “Yes; be had something that looked like a round ball in one band, but I do not know what it was. They were strug- gling when I left the nouse.” Mrs. Vacaressa “said that she did not scream or make.any outcry to alarm the neighbors after léaving the house, ag she was aimaid the man would follow her ana harm the children or herself, The investigation made by the District Attorney and the deputy sheriffs this morn- ing early sLowed that the rope that was tied about the murdered man’s neck had been cut from a clothesline in the back yard, the cut being a fresh one. The watchdog that is.usually tied in the yard was niissing, and- his collar was hanging from the chain, where it had been cut from him. The woman claimed to know nothing about the dog’s disappearance, but admitted he had been let loose by some one earlier in the day and tied up again dered Vacaressa was found, had been pried open with a chisel.. The officers are inclined to the belief that this was done as a blind, as the woman was not asleep at the time and claims to have heard no noise until the man stood beside her by the bed and spoke to her. The inquest to-night developed the fact that the murder must have been com- mitted by Mrs. Vacaressa herself, but the Coroner’s jury rendered a verdict of death by strangulation at the hands of some person or persons unknown. The District Attorney will probably enter a formal charge of murder against the woman to- mOorrow. g Combine of- Bakers. STOCKTON, CaL., April 1.—The princi- pel bakers of this city have combined and the result of their combine went into effect to-day. They have been contemplating the move for some time, but it was not un- til Jast night that the matter was got into definite shape. The bakers say that the combine is not for the purpose of getting a “corner” on bread, but simply to decide upon a uniform price. Their action is di- rected at the restaurants and hotels partic- ularly and the restaurateurs and the hotel men are wroth and threaten to refuse to buy bread from any in the combine. 1t bas been the custom here for some ne for the suppliers of bread to the pub- eating-places to also furnish a boarder or two to the hotel or restaurant patroniz- bem. Sometimes an employe of the ry would beard at the hotel or res- taurant and he would get special rates, while the bakery would be charged the regular price for his fare. Thus at the end of each month the baker’s bil! would be in part offset by the account of the res- taurant or hotel man. The bakers decided to do away with that, so they fixed a wholesale rate for bread to be furnished to the restaurants and hotels for cash. A fine | of $100 was agreed upon as a penalty for each violation of the compact. oE s gty Brewery for Stockton. STOCKTON, Carn., April 1. — Samuel Henery, formerly Chief of Police of this city, has returned from San Diego and brings the news that Stockton has a good chance to secure another big industry. A number of Minneapolis men, he says, are anxious to start a brewery in this State, and they are said to bave expressed a preference for Stockton. They will locate the plant here, provided they can secure a suitable site. A $75,000 brewery is now being built in San Diego by Minneapolis men, and one of the members of the com- pany told Mr. Henery that another com- pany would soon be organized in that city, and would establish a brewing business in this State and Stockton stood an excel'ent chance of securing the plant. Mr. Henary will bring the matter to the attention of the Commercial Association. > Woodbridge Canal Claims. STOCKTOYN, Car., April 1.—An effort is being made by the creditors of the Wood- bridge Canal Company to organize for the | purpose of bidding in the property of the | company to satisfy their claims. The | movement is headed by J. C. Thompson, a capitalist of this city, and a number of | the other large creditors are also interested | in the movement. At present the system | is not paying, and is in the handsot E. C. | Chapman as receiver. Ever since its start | the concern has gone behind, and the men who built the canal have not received the | ruoney for their work. Altogether, ac- | cording to Mr. Thompson, the company | owes something like $150,000. Would Forgive His Wife. STOCKTON, Car., April 1.— Hawky | Nelson, whose wife eloped from Templ ton with Charles Paulson and was arrested | with the latter here yesterday, arrived | here to-night. He says that if his wife will_return home to her children he will | | forgive her, but-if not be will prosecute her and Paulson. A constable will be here to-morrow night with warrants for their arrest. GUESTS OF SANTA The Vanderbilt-Depew Party Shown the Sights of the Pretty Town by the Sea. SANTA CRUZ, Car., April 1.—The Van- derbilt-Depew partv was entertained by John R. Chace of the Sea Beach Hotel here this afternoon. Upon the arrival of the special train Mr. Chace, through Division Superintendent Frasier of the Southern Pacific, presented Mayor Effey, Liutenant- Governor Jeter, Judge Logan of the Supe- rior Court and Richard Wells-Fargo Express Company, and the visitors, including their guests—George R. Fearing of Newport, John Hone of New Jersey and C. F. Crocker of San Francisco, were teken by Mr. Chace for a drive over the clifi road, returning to the Sea Beach Hotel. They vis.ted several pointsof in- terest, passing Lighthouse point and stopping at the residence of Judge Logan, situated on an elevation of nearly 300 feet, from which they gained afine view of the surrounding country and the sea. Mr. Depew de- clared this the grandest natural promi- nence that he bad seen in Caiifornia, and said the half hour spent there among the flowers and trees would furanish the locals for several after-dinner stories that would be no discredit to California. Mr. Vas derbilt was far more free and expressive than he is accredited with being. ‘When they returned, the Santa Cruz gentlemen spent a pleasant ‘quarter of an hour in the cars, which, Mr. Vanderbilt said, would have carried them 8000 miles when they returned to New York. “And out of twenty-two nights,” he added, speaking with some difidence, “we have spent eighteen in the cars. We have every accommodation, every can- venience—and he looked with a show of pride at the magnificent caparisoning—all that one could ask traveling about the country behind a locomotive.” “Except a. telephone,”’ remarked Mr. Depew, dryly, without looking up from a telegram he was writing. “But we can tap the wires,” rejoined Mr. Vanderbilt, with a slight blush. UKIAK - SPORTSMEN ACT. Fish Commissioner Hollingsworth Accused of Violating the Game Laws. Warrant for His Arrest Is Sworn Out and He Will Be Vigorously Prosecuted. UKIAH, CAL., April 1.—A warrant was sworn out this afternoon charging J. Hollingsworth, resident Fish Comm sioner, with a misdemeanor in having caught trout during the closed season. On Monday evening a meeting of the Sports- men’s Club was neld, at which a letter was read charging Hollingsworth with having committed this offense. The Commis- sioner was surprised at the accusation, but finally acknowledged having been fishing during February. Hollingsworth had been particularly active in the pursuit of iliegal d’t’aer»hunlers and illicit trout-fishers, and only last week had arrested a man from San Fraucisco and succeeded in having him fined for trout-catching. The culprit was made to pay $50, and Hollingswood had gone to the meeting of the Sportsmen’s Club in the expectation of receiving the informer’s portion of the reward, when the surprise was sprung on him. The warrant was sworn to by J. C. Ruddock, on bebalf of the club, and the offender will be severely toward night. - N The froLt door, near which the mur- punished, 1t is said, in case he is con- victed. | is assured.

ASPIRANTS FOR REDWOOD CITY’S CARNIVAL THRONE. MISS SALLIE NELSON. REDWOOD CITYS ROSE CARNIVAL. San Mateo Citizens Absorbed in | the Choosing of a Queen. FOUR NEW BOOTHS OPENED. Three Pretty Misses Who Find Many Admirers—Opera by Local Talent. REDWOOD CITY, Car., April 1.—The | carnival ball has just received a large | | share of attention at a meeting of the rose carnival dir-ctors. County Treasurer P. P. Chamberlain and ex-County Assessor George W. Lovie will act with the directors in making this fanction the success of the | season. It will take place at the Alhambra Theater on Wednesday evening, April 29. An important change was made by de- ciding to hold the flower show at Germania Hal'l instead of at the Gymnasium. A high standard of merit will be aimed at in the floral exhibits, and a most interesting dis- play of roses, foliage and decorative plants | hibitor will, among other things, show eighty varieties of sweet peas alone. | Renewed interest is being shown in the | voting for carnival queen, and to-day four new booths were opened in Redwood City where ballots may be deposited. Miss | Alta Turner, Miss Eugenia Turner and | | Miss Sallie Nelson are three charming | young ladies who have been nominated, | and who will also take an active part in the rose carnival. The concert and operatic performance to | be given at the Alhambra Theater on | Wednesday evening, April 8, for the bene- | fit of the fund for rose carnival floral | awards, will include the second act of | “Martha,”’ 1n costume; recitative and | jewel song from “Faust,”” in costume, by Miss Florence Doyan, soprano; solo from “Carmen,” in costume, by Miss Daisy May Cressy, the talented young contralto, and a full concert programme by dis- tinguished artists. SANTA ROSA’S RIVALS. Burris Again Wrests the Lead From Miss -Hall. SANTA ROSA, Car., April 1.—The re- sult of the voting for a carnival Queen to- | day shows that there will be only two belles in the race, out of the forty starters. They are Mrs. L. W. Burris and Miss Sara Hall. The buik of the votes cast to-day | were for these two, as it has been thought | | for several days that the honor would fall | F to one of them. The large vote to-day resulted in placing | Mrs. Burris once more in the lead, by | | something over a hundred votes. The | lead has alternated between Mrs. Burris | and Miss Hall for more than a week, re- | | sulting in a friendly rivalry that has en- | rolled the whole town on one or the other | side. Either of the candidates would fill the queenly office with a grace and dig- nity that would reflect credit upon the fes- | tival. The voting will close on the even- | ing of April 11. SOLANO COUNTY PRESERVES. Mrs. Cordelia Shooting Club Will Make Another Effort to Monopolize Hunting Privileges. SUISUN, CaL,, April 1.—A motion will be made in the Superior Court of Solano County to obtain a new trial in the case of C. W. Kellogg, trustee of the Cordelia Shooting Club, vs. William King et al. An action was brought by this club last November to restrain the defendants from hunting on the Chamberlain tract, on the ground that irreparable injury was done to the hunting privileges of the members. The case occupied the attention of the court for some time, and much interest was taken in the xroceedjngs, The de- fendants maintained that the club had no legal existence and had a license only for forty members to shoot over the grounds in question. The decicion of Judge Buckles ‘was lengthy and covered every point advanced | by the respective counsel. The Judge was obposed to the estabiishment of preserves | on the Suisun marshes, which he stated | savored strongly of English landlordism. He denied the injunction asked for and ave judgment for the defendants. Judge %uck es maintained that the lease gave the members of the Cordelia Club a license ! gronnd, and they had no right to prevent | other people from going on the marshes to bunt if they did not molest the rights of others. 1f the motion for a new trial is refused an :{pul will be made in the Supreme Court. e PORTLAND DAMAGE SUIT. Cash Demanded for the Alienating of a Wife’s Affections. PORTLAND. Og., April L.—Twenty-five thousand dollars is the sum that Fred Mossman demands from Captain Charles Hill of the steamer Governor Newell, a trading boat. hiossman claims that Cap- tain’ Hill slienated his wife’s affections.

To Purcell the man seemed to be in a desperate frame of mind. This afternoon, during the introduction of testimony, the plaintiff offered the deposition of *‘Captain’’ Minnie Hall, wite of the defendant, who is now in San Fran- cisco. Mrs. Hill states her knowledge of the occurrences set up asa basis for the complaint for damages. Captain Hill and his lawyers claim the suit is_an attempt to blackmail him, and they will show in defense that it is partly the result of a family row. i G SANTA ROSA’S ELECTION. Democrats Believed to Have Seated Their Mayoralty Candidate After a Lively ! Campaign. SANTA ROSA, CaL., April 1.—The live- here to-day. Nearly 1400 votes were cast, There were three regular tickets in the field—Democratic, Republican and Popu- list—with independent candidates for wmany offices. The offices of mayor, mar- shal, clerk, treasurer, city attorney, re- corder, assessor and street commissioner | were to be filled, and three councilmen and five library trustees chosen. The main fight was over the mayoralty and the offices of Street Commissioner and City Marshal. Over 450 votes were polled in Precinct 2, which makes it impossible to finish the count before morning. From present indications. the ogices will be evenly divided between the two old | parties and the following gentlemen will undoubtedly be selected : Mayor, Dr. J. W. Jesse (D.); Marshal, W. J. Steadman (R.); Clerk, C. W. Mob- | ley (D.); Attorney, O. O. Webber (R.); Street Commissioner, John McMinn Sr. | (D.); Assessor, R. L. Johnson (R.); Re- corder, W. K. McCorkle (D.). For Councilmen it is believed the Demo- crats will elect M. J. Bower and J. M. Car- candidate, will be the third. For library The official retiirns wiil not be given out until a late ifour in the morning, but un- less unlooked-for changes occur at the last moment, the complete ticket will be as STANFORD GIALS TRAINING Ball Team Regrets Lack | of Enthusiasm. Fair Athletes Demand a Grant of Varsity Sweaters—Condition of the Trackmen. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Caw, April 1.—The basket-ball girls are meeting bere. First, there is the trouble of secur- ing Varsity sweaters for the members of the team, and—worse still—the team of a real game. Last evening there were but eight Starford giris on hand to meet the Castilleja team; but they managed to win the game by a score of4 to 1. Captain McCray can’t understand why her players do not enter with the required amount of enthusiasm into the practice, when the match with the Berkeley girls is to come off so soon. Wereit not for the Castilleja girls, who volunteered to practice with the Stanford team, the latter would be in poor condition for actual work with its Berkeley rivals. The trackmen are to have a training- table from now until the field day with Berkeley. Mostof the athletes are getting | back to work after the vacation..The track is in very poor condition, but wilil probably be remedied before long. Most of the runners are in fair eondition now and will merely have to maintain their | present state. The glee ana mandolin clubs returned | from their southern tour last evening fa- | tigued, but with pleasant recollections of | their trip, Treasurer Hinsdill, who ac- companied the clubs, states that they | came out loser to the extent of $200 or $300, but plans were under way for making up | this deficit. Before the executive commif- | tee permitted the clubs to make this trip | it required a guarantee of $400, which was | given. In this manner the student body was protected against any loss. The gen- | eral feeling here 1s that the clubs did ex- ceedingly well, considering that it was their first tour. To-morrow aiternoon Chauncey M. De- pew is to address the students in the | chapel and everybody is planning to hear | the brilliant New Yorker. b5 ey Portland Druggists Fail. PORTLAND, Og., April 1. — United States District Judge Bellinger to-day in chambers appointed F. K. Arnold re- ceiver for the wholesale drug firm of Saell, Heitshu & Woodward, with bonds fixed at $5000. This action was precipitated by Munyon’s Homeopathic Home Remedy Company of - Philadelphia, which last week eniered suit in attachment against the drughouse for §2450 58. Tue London and San Francisco Bank is the heaviest creditor, and a trust deed covering the drug firm’s property, amounting to $60,- 000, was filed to-day” conveying the prop- erty to the bank. o g YO Swicide at Nogales. NOGALES, Amiz., April L.—W. Webb Sr., the father of Samuel F.

SAN BERNARDINO'S VOLCANIC CAVE Discover& of the Probable Source of the Arrowhead Hot Springs. FLAMES FROM A DEEP CAVERN. Lake of Lava Uncovered by the Blast of a Heavy .Charge of Dynamite. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., April 1.— A wonderful and interesting discovery has been made near Arrowhead Springs by Thomas Hatten, a pioneer resident of S8an Bernardino, and the owner of a big ranch near the foothills. He has found the proba- ble source of the warm water in and about Arrowhesd Springs. Hatten on Tuesday started in .quest of sheep that were missing. Following an old trail over Waterman Canyon, he came upon ¢ natural basin formed by rocks. While gazing about the littie valley he saw at a distance of about 350 yards a thin white column of smoke issuing from be- bind a boulder. Believing it was a camp- fire, he went toward it fo ascertain if the campers had seen his sheep. When Hatten reached the rock he found no sign of life and the smoke had disappeared. Hatten determined to investigate. The big bowlder was in the way, and he went to a quarry some distance away and pro- cured dynamite. One of the quarrymen, named Burke, accompanied him back. They put-a big charge of dvnamite under | the rock, and it was blown to atoms. From the spot where the bowlder stood issued a sheet of flames. throwing out in- | tense heat. After the flames subsided the men approached the spot and discovered a | cave of some depth, at the bottom of which there appeared to be flowing lava. It will | probably be some time before the cavern | can be fully explored, owing to the intense | beat issuing from its mouth. | In various parts of the mountains in the | vicinity of this discovery are lava forma- | tions. Scientists have been trying for some time to fathom the origin of the many warm springs in and about Arrow- | head, but the honor of the discovery has fallen to Hatten. e ———— BUNKER HILL'S HOT SPRING. Boiling Water With Medicinal Progerties From the Pipes of an Artesian Well. SAN BERNARDINO, Cair., April 1.— An artesian well of hot water has been struck at Bunker Hill, just south of this city, on the Southern California motor road. When work was commenced on the well the persons boring it had no idea of what was in store for them. For nearly three | months past a steam well-borer has been | sinking a 7-inch pipe. After boring down a few feet trouble commenced and more or less difficulty was encountered until two weeks ago, when the big pipe was lost and broken. - After several attempts to pull up the Pipe it was decided to run down a smaller one. A five-inch pipe was placed inside of the larger one and the work renewed. When the iron tube was down 500 feet the workmen met a peculiar obstruction in the shape of an outburst of sand, steam and hot water. . Inashort time the lowlands were cov- ered with boiling water. The water rises in a stream five inches in diameter to a heigi t of several inches above the mouti of the pipe, and retains a temperature of 108 degrees. It is siron with sulphur and other chemicar proper- g}}_\- impregnated | ties, which fill the air with an anpleasant odor. Civil engineers in this city are of the opinien thut the water comes from the same strata that furnishes the tamous Arrowhead Hot springs, to the north of San Bernardino. Hundreds of people have visited the w-1l, and one person who claims to be suffering from acute rheuma- tism says that he bat ed his arms in the waters and feit immediate relief. e BRIDEING THE MERCED. Satisfactory Progress Made by the San Joaquin Valley Road Constructors. Grant Brothers Will Soon Move Their Camp to the Chowchilla River. FRESNO, CAL., April 1.—Assistant En- gineer Edes of the Valley Railroad was in Fresno to-day. He reports very satisfac- tory progress in the work of construction all along the line. The bridge now build- ing over the Tuolumne River will soon be completed and the piling for the Merced River bridge is nearly done. It is ex- pected that the bridge being built across | the Merced River will be completed som.e time about the last of this month. The work of laying the track between the bridge and the town of Merced will require but a few days time. Grant Brothers, who have done most of the grading, will do the grading through Madera County. 1t is expected that they will move their camp to the Chowchilia River within the next ten days. Work will be commenced on the San Joaquin River bridge some time during the latter part of April. The plans have been completed and accepted, but ina- bility to secure the required timber for the superstructure has necessarily delayed the commencement of the work. The committee of ten here has about | concluded its labors in securing rights-of- way through Fresno County. There are a few small strips which have not yet been purchased owing to the failure of owners to agree upou terms. Asa final resort these pieces of property will be made sub- ject to condemnation suits, which will be instituted by the company in a few days. glie WSt JOHNSON’S PLAINT DENIED. Answer of Fresno Citizens to the Evan- gelist’s Charges. FRESNO, CaL., April 1.—Evangeli: Johnson’s complaint against five promi- nent citizens of this city who were alleged to have forced him to retract a statement reflecting on the chastity of Fresno girls was met by a prompt denial and answer to-day as follows: Now come the defendants named and, an- swering to_the complaint of plaintiff herein, allege and deny as follows, to wit: That they have no information or belief upon the subject suficient toenable them to answer the first aliegatian contained in said | complai*t, and placiug their denial upon that ground; deny that the plaintiff is now, or at any time has been, a regularly, or in any man- ner, ordained minister of any church, or has during any period of time, or is now, engaged in any work of any church.
