Hill Faction Jubilant Over the Result of the Bitter Contest. RESULTS IN OTHER TOWNS. Local Issues Predominate Over Par. tisanship in Influeacing Voters, SAUSALITO, Car., April 13.—One of the most exciting and hotly con- tested elections ever held in the town of Sausalito took place to-day, and as a and Alfred Brandes, the night watchman, town rang with the yelis of the victorious hill faction. : The hottest fight was over the marshal- ship; but, though the supporters both of Brandes and Hustace professed implicit 1aith in the triumph of their candidates, it was plainly to be seen that a majority was in favor of Creed. The number of votes polled for him clearly indicates the general consensus of opinion. Said General John H. Dickinson, him- self elected Trustee: ““We had a pretty hard time to incorpo- rate this town four years ago. Now there seems to be a sentiment in some quarters 1o disincorporate. I do not believe it is very strong. Taking an active interest in the welfare of the community I deem) it my duty to place myself where I can work for the welfare of the place. *“There has been considerable newspaper talk here recently anent the reeord of Creed. I am not one of those who believe that a man should be held down because he is alleged 2t one time to have been under a cloud. Creed has shown himself to be an efficient officer, has handled picnic crowds in a very satis- factory manner. and the majority, by their votes, prove that he is the best man for the place.” The town clerkship was another posi- tion bitterly contested. Pryor’s friends were the only ones that rolled the prophetic eye and named the winner. Events prove them true prophets. As Pryor himself said: “Theonly thing any- body has against me is that I want the earth. I hold three offices already and edit the News besides. If 1 am elected Clerk I shall be satisfied.” The election for Treasurer ywas also very close, but no bitterness of feelins existed between the candidates. Fiedler's small majority shows the men to be of about equal popularity. Besides the Brandes-Creed fistic contest, there were a number of other exciting bouts occurred during the day. Much blood was spilled, but nobones broken. The small vote polled for Brandes is said to be the result of his forwarding a request to the Sheriif for deputies to keep the peace during election. As one tipsy and indig- are under arrest—Creed on a warrant nant gentleman put it, “We ‘don’t want Joseph H. Pryson, Town Clerk-Elect of Sausalito. charging him with battery, sworn to by Brandes,and Brandes on acharge of carry- him by Creed. Bad feeli had existed between the two men for some time. The acconnts of the fracas between the two men is varied, as every man’s tale is colored by his partisanship. Creed’s tale is that he entered Friedler's store with a friend, not knowing that Brandes was | there. Hearing Brandes mention his name in a caustic manner he walked up to him and said : ‘“Brandes, you must cease talking about me. I will settle things with you after election.” Brandes thereupon, according to Creed, called him a foul name and reached for his pistol, when Creed hit him twice, knocking him down, disarmed him and arrested him for carrying a concealed weapon. Brandes, however, tells an entirely dif- ferent story. He says: I was standing in the entrance to the store, talking to Charles Ulrich, a reporter Deputy Constable Cramer, Cheered by a Hilarious Populace, Places Burly Marshal Creed Under Arrest. [Sketched by @ * Call” artist.] on a San Francisco evening paper, when Creed came up and struck me in the back of the neck, took my revolver from me while I was down and then arrested me. About two hours afterward I had him ar- rested for battery.” Creed was released on his own recogni- zance, but Brandes, after being bound over to keep the peace, was released on $100 bonds. ¥ The result of the election wasa great victory for the hill faction. The number of votes cast was 327, the largest number of votes ever polled at a Sausalito elec- tion. The votes for the various candis dates stand as follows: FOR TRUSTEES. C. C. Bruee 212, John H. Dickinson 166, M. Ambjornson 140, H. J. Crumpton 126, Jacob Stritimather 113, Commodore Harrison 75, John Richards 28, George Tasheira 46. FOR TOWN CLERK. 7. H. Pryor 121, G. W. Stmpson 62, Thomas F.

John E.Creed 202, Alfred Brandes 16, John people to think this election took place in Arizona.” But by far the most sensational and | amusingz event of the day was Creed’s ar- rest by 'Gene Cramer, a deputy constable. Creed weighs about 300 pounds and is a giant in stature, while Cramer is a diminu- tive fellow weighing very little over 100 pounds. As the small man gripped the large man -tightly by the arm as if he feared he might lr{ to escape, and led tbe lamb-like giant along the street to the office of the Justice of the Peace, the whole populace, irrespective ofi sex, color, or nationality, turned out to see the fun. Said a local politician, “I would rather have had my candidate beaten than missed the sight.’” et g Chosen by Ukiah Voters.

Hooper was denied a divorce | from J. E. Hooper. In the complaint she charged her husband with desertion. The testimony showed that the desertion did | not occur until November, 1895, and as | sufficient time had not elapsed to consti- | tute desertion the decree was denied. | They were married five years ago in Kan- sas, and have two children.

Comprising @ Chinatown Destroyea. BAKERSFIELD, Car., April 13.—New Chinatown, two blocks of frame buildings in the southeastern part of town and en- tirely disconnected from the main por- tion, was entirely destroyed by fire early this morning. The fire was started in a stable by incendiaries and spread to every part of the two blocks, burning as long as nything to burn. The loss is about §20,000, with only $1100 insurance. On account of the nature of the buildings the insurance rate was 10 per cent, and only one firm carried a policy. The fire could have been easily extin- zuished with buckeis when first started, out tbe Chinese were panic-stricken and refused to do anything to stay the pro- gress of the flames. Swarms of Mongols got their meager belongings out of the | structures and then calmiy watched the | spread of the flames, when they could readily have stopped their spread. sl el Healdsburg Votes for Bonds.
