THE SAN FRA MURDERED BABE FOUND IN A CAVE. Discovery of a Dairyman on the Fish Ranch Road. RIBBON ROUND ITS NECK Drawn So Tightly That Strangu- lation Was Sure to Follew. BORN BY THE ROADSIDE. Belief That It Is a Child Whose Mother Was Fcund Suffering by Dr. Rowell. OARTAND OFFICE SAN Frarcisco CaLy,] 908 Broadway, July 2. | An infant, which had been murdered, was brought in from Claremont to-day. The little body was found in a small cave at the side of the Fish Ranch road. For several days a search has been made for the body, which was reporied several days ago, but the cave was so hidden that a per- son not familiar with the locality would | never find it except by accident. | About three weeks ago Dr. Rowell, who | was called to a case late at night, was | driving out toward Claremont when he | lieard a woman screaming by the roadside. He at once stopped his buggv and went to where the sound came from. He found a young woman lying on the road, groaning with agony, und surrounaed by several young men. He examinea the woman and found that she was well advanced in the pains of maternity. He did all he could for the sufferer, and as his errand was as urgent one he was forced to leave. Before leaving the young woman the men promised that they would at once convey her to the Receiving Hospital. An empty buggy was near by and Dr. Rowell told the lads to drive to the hos- pital without delay. never been taken to the hospital, and after the matter was reported the poiice and Sheriff's office kept a lookout to try and clear up the mystery, but nothing has been learned further. A few days ago Dairyman Cohn, while out hunting, discovered the remains of a little infant. He reported the matter to the Coroner, and search has been kept up ever since. On account of the secrecy of the place the body was not found. This morning the dairyman’s son conducted Deputy Coroner Quellen to the spot where the babe was concealed. From appearances the infant bad been dead some time, as decomvosition had set in. The body was that of a fully devel- oped female child. around the neck and it had been drawn so tight that-it was almost buriediin the flesh. The infant appears to have been a healtby girl, and everything indicates that it was born alive. As soon as he received the remains Cor- oner Baldwin stated that an autopsy would be held to determine whather or not the child had heen murdered by strangn- lation. Owinz to the lack of evidence it is hardly probable that the perpetrators of | tbe murder will be found. It is believed that the young men were bringing the girl into Oakland at the time she was found by Dr. Rowell and that after the baby’s birth they became fright- ened and disposed of it.

OAKLAND, Cawn, July 2—The First | Methodist Cburch of this city bas abol- | ished the old-style communion service, | and at the service next Sunday morning will use, for the first time, the sanitary | communion outfit—individual cups.

Chap- man, D.D,, in that it is to be used at the | altar-rail instead of being passed through the audience. | Theoutfit is composed of three nests of | glasses, each nest containing thirty-six lasses and a cover. The glasses are filled | from a silver tube, which has six fincers that turn down 1nto the glass setting underneatn. The trays are elliptical and | have a halfiinch diamond-shaped surface into which holes are cut to sit the glasses, but have no handles to carry them by. | One nest of classes will be set on the com- munion-table with the bread on either side, while the other two will be shelved just back and above the table until needed. o, — TOOK HIS LIFE.

When he was not about this morn- | ing a search was instituted, which resulted | 1 finding the body. Beck was a single man and had no rela- tives in this country as far as known. He has lived around Haywards about ten years and is well known. ~ He was a member of the Mount Eden Gun Club and is reported to have drank heavily at one of their cele- brations.

OAKLAND, CaL., July 2.—The Pied- mont and Mountain View Railroad Com- pany has sued County Tax Coliector Bar- ber to restrain him from selling its prop- erty for allezed delinquency in the pay- ment of its taxes for the year 1895. It sets forth that the property was assessed at $232,000, when it should have been about $75,000; also that the:e figures were re- duced by the County Board of Equaliza- tion 50 per cent, to which reduction the company was not entitled, as its petition was not filed until after the life of the board had been extended by C. 1. Colgan without aunthority of the State Board of Equalization. The Tax Collector has re- fused to accept taxes on the basis of the reduction made by the Board of Equaliza- tion. ———— Killed a Rattler. NILES, CaL., July 2—While out waik- ]ing in the canyon Miss Susie Bane came G. Toyne, President of the Day of Haywards’ Fourth of July Celebration. 8t10:30. The president of the day will be G. Toyne, who will read the Declaration of Independence. Mr. Toyne is one of the oldest residents of Haywards, and he was with great difficulty persuadea to accept the presidency of the day’s exercises. He has a very powerful voice, and as there will be a very large crowd present, it was necessary to procure some one who could be heard all over the park. The platform will be appropriately 2 near being bit by a rattlesnake. There was a party tramping from one camp to another, when the rattler was seen coiled ready to strike about four feet ahead of the young :ady right in the path. Wil- liam Sohst Jr. reanzed the danger first, and, grabbing a stick, struck the reptile before it could spring. It was killed and the skin Yrsunud to Miss Bane, who will have it made into a belt as a memento of the occasion. HID THEIR TOOLS BENEATH AN OAK, A Complete Robbers’ Outfit Found Near Lake Merritt.

Braynard Wrathy. OAKLAND, Car., July 2.—Charles H. Braynard, the City Attorney of Redding, charged with complicity inan alleged foor- race swindle, was bro\lfht to this city by Constable Koch and allowed his liberty on furnishing a $500 bond. He maintains the race was run fairly, and threatens to make it warm for G. H. Williams, the minin man, who claims to have been bunk: out of $500 by Braynard, McDonald and Ryan, the racers, and Schaffer, the friend or the latter. New Car Fenders. OAKLAND, CaL, Ju% 2.—Superinten- dent A. K. Grim of the Oakland Consoli- dated Electric Road, fienenl!y known as placed iron fenders will be the means of saving more lives than any automatic fender offered. His idea is that when a person is struck or run down he gradps for something, and by having tne rods there death wili be averted. The Tast Day, OAKLAND, Car., July 2.—This was the last day on which taxes could be paid before the property on which they bad not been paid will be sold by the city.

B. in speaking of Mrs, Alice Church’s threat to bring legal proceedings toannul his divorce from his first wife, to- day said: “I know 1t is the delusion of a verfectly irresponsible person. Itishereai- tary in her case, and I‘have watched it closely for more than fourteen years. All who know her will nnderstand the matter, ila s, oy ; The Romantic Spot Near Lake Merritt Where the Fdllowers of Robin Hood Lived and Kept Their Robbers’ Kit. tern, a bowie-knife, a lot of skeleton keys and some very ingenious devices for turn- ing the keys of doors locked on the inside, were found. The latter are new to the police. Detective Williams, who bas the case in hand, received his first tip from a pawn- broker, who told him that he had pur- chased a revolyer from a one-legred man, who said he had found it hidden in the brush. He told the pawnbroker that with the revolver were several other things, all bridge. | The vacant lot south of the western end of the bridge is frequently used as a tryst- ing place by hard characters and the de- tective suspected that he might find some-. thing in that neighborhood. The result revealed acomplete burglar’s outfit hid- den under a tree. Near the tree is a spring and wild celery and ivy grow and the place is very pretty and secluded. There is a bucket ana an old mattress near the tree and it is very evident that the robbers lived there. Evi- dences of small fires are numerous. Although only half a block from an elec- tric-car track it wou!d be possible to live for weeks without being discovered. Creek pirates, tramps and hoodlums who are vagrants gather at the place and a watch was kept o the place last night. During the night a man giving the name of John Murray came across the bridge and made jfor the oak tree. He was at once arrested, but protested his innocence of any crime. He will be held till his story of himself is investigated, and if true be will be released. The ingenious devices for turning keys which were found in the burglar's kit were very peculiar. There are nine of them, all fashioned from penholders of different sizes, so that they would fit almost any ordinary doorkey. Each holder has a slit in it, into which the tongue of a key which might be left in the lock would slip and then the burglar could unlock the door by twisting the key around. The only way to prevent this device being successful is to fasten the keys so that they cannot be turned around. The outfit is designed especially for lodging-house burglaries, and the police | say that the devices for keys will open nine doors out of every ten. During the past month a number of petty room-robberies have occurred, and ‘lon one occasion, not far from the oak- tree hiding-place, three Chinamen were attacked and robbed. The locality is a very lonely one, and it is quite likely that the lakeside Robin Hoods have been hold- ing up people and committing small burg- laries for a long time. Suit Against Evers. OAKLAND, Car, July 2.—Chief Deputy Distriet Attorney L. 8. Church has pre- pared, and will file to-morrow, a complaint in bebalf of Alameda County against Henry Evers 8r., ex-Coroner, comprising a number of counts and 240 pages of type- written matter. It is sought to recover $3000 claimed to have been iilegally collected by Evers while Coroner, by collecting fees of $5 for each body taken to the morgue, and for mileage, also for inquests which, it is charged, were never held.

NCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1896. e 13 BULLOCK 15 How I VICTORIA Deserted His Wife Family Eight Years Ago. HE HAS MARRIED AGAIN The Dusty Warrant Based on His Daughter’s Testimony May Be Served. LOST SIGHT OF MANY YEARS. While Deacon of a Church at Hay- wards He Figured in a Big Sensation. OARLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcrsco Cavr, Broadway, July A. M. Bulloek, who left this cityin a great hurry eight years ago, has been found at Victoria, B. C. There is a war- rant in the Sheriff’s office for him and it is not improbable that efforts may now be made to serve it. Several years ago Bullock was a very re- spected member of a church at Haywards. | Heowned a ranch near that place and was a prominent man in the community. | One day the whole county was shocked | beyond measure at the story told to her Sunday-school teacher by his daughter Maud. For some time previous to the ex- pose it had been noticed that Bullock had been acting in a very peculiar manner toward his daughter. At that time Maude | was a handsome girl of 16, with a very at- tractive figure and was one of the belles of the ceunty. The stories of the father’s con- duct toward the girl were told to the authorities and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. Bullock evaded justice and disappeared, and the warrant was never served. Some time ago the daughter of one of his former neighbors ‘went to Victora and by a strange chance her friends lived next door to Bullock. The fugitive from Alameda County did not recognize the young lady, who was a girl when h= left, but the visitor at once recognized the ex- deacon, who 18 now in business, “Mr. Bullock is married again,” she said on her return, “and has some chil- dren. He is in theinsurance business and seems to be a very busy man. From in- quiries made up there no one seems to know anything of his past history. ‘I learned that he married a very esti- mable young lady. who was only 17 years of age at the time of the marriage. She was a regular attendant at the Methodist Church, and it is believed that she knew nothing of Bullock’s doings in this county. Knowing that he was a divorced man, she had grave scruples about marrying mm. The law of Btitish Columbia re- rarding diverces is very stringent. In no case can divorced parties remarry within a year, and in some instances they may not marry while their late partner in mat- rimony is alive. “‘These matters sorely troubled Bul- lock’s fiancee, but it is said he succeeded in overcoming them by producing a tele- gram which purported to show that his ex-wife was dead,” A recent arrival from Victoria, who was acquainted with Bullock at Haywards, said Bullock is still an active church mem- ber and that they recently attended church | together. | Soon after Mr. Bullock’s flight his wife obtained a divorce. Sheis still living in this county, having recently moved from Haywards to Oakiand. She has several children, and has had a struggle to bring them up, but she has done it without any help, and is & very independent woman. People who have investigated the matter believe that Builock rendered himself amenable to the divorce laws of British Columbia by his second marriage. He is now over 50 years of age, and old enough to be the father of his present wife. For many years no one knew what had become of him, except that he had ‘‘gone North.” Interested parties are now de- bating whether to diz up that dusty war- rant and procure extradition papers or whether to let the matter rest, out of re- gard for the feelings of the daughter, who is now married to a highly respected man in the employ of the Southern Pacific. WATER FOR BERKELEY. The Supp'y Greatly Increased by Two L SArtesian Wells Recently Driven. BERKELEY, CaL, July 2—Two new ar- tesian wells have been developed in Wild- cat Canyon by the Alameda Water Com- pany. One gives a flow of 97,000 gallons a day and the other 87,000. The combined flow of the two wells constitutes an in- crease of 25 per cent in the volume of the company’s supply. The company has been boring for water for several months past and will continue todo soin the hope of developing more wells. It is said that the new weils will enable the Alameda Water Company to supply ail of Berkeley with water, and it is anticipated that the long-agitated water question will reach a solution.

Both Sides Ready to Contest for Every Point. OAKLAND, Car., July 2.—The attorneys for Assessor Dalton have filed a demurrer to the complaint of the Pacific Postal Tele- graph Cable Company, wherein the latter seek to enjoin the Assessor from selling their property for the personal property tax. Ingranting the temporary restrain- ing oraer, Judge Ogden passed indirectly, if not directly, upon the sufficiency of the complaint, or at least that was the opinion of the company’s attorney. The demurrer will be argued to-morrow. Assessor Dalton, however, believes other- wise, but being dissatisfied with the man- ner in_ which District Attorney Snook | handled the case he secured these other attorneys to represent him. The matter isdto be contested on every point by each side. At the MacDonough.
