THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 28, 18Y6. FATAL ATTEMPT 10 FORD A RIVER, Sad Death of Amos U. Rugg, a Prominent Mining Man. ALMOST REACHED SHORE Attacked by Cramps While Swim- ming Toward the River Bank. GREAT MOURNING IN OROVILLE Over Two Hundred Townspeople Escorted the Remains to the Railroad Station. Amos U. Rugg, a prominent and popular young mining man of Plumas County, while attempting to ford the north fork of the Feather River last Friday evening, | was swept from the back of his horse and was drowned in the river in sight of a lady companion, who looked on powerless to &id him. Rugg had been showing some visitors around the mines and had been leading their horses along the steep mountain trails. Wishing to o from Cleighton to Cox's bar and thinking to make a short cut by fording the stream instead of going | around by the trail, he had proposed to | c the ladies to cross the river on horseback. | First, however, to make sure that there | was no danger, he volunteered to ride | across and then assist the ladies over. Rugg rode boldly into the stream at the point where he supposed the ford was, but the horse stepped into deep water and | commenced to plunce, shaking his rider | into the pool, which was at least twenty | feet deep. Rugg struck out for the shore, | however, and was within ten feet of the | bank, when he was seen to throw up his | bands and then sink from sight. It is | supposed that he was seized with a cramp { and could swim no further. The body of the drowned man was re- | covered early Saturday afternoon. A rough box was made, and about 3 o’clock the dead man’s father-in-law, J. H. Thomas, and his brother, W. B. Rugg, started with the body to drive to Oroville, eighty miles away. They arrived there about 8 o’clock Sunday morning. Over two hundred people in Oroville, where the young man was well known, escorted the remains to the railroad station. The body was forwarded to Fruit- vale, where the father-in-law of the dead man lives. The funeral services will be held at the | handica, | bis most formidable competitors at the | coming meeting. 1 cilers _are any more liberal in their prices Association will hold its third annual meet on the association’s magnificent and perfectly appointed course. The programme for the two days’ racing was issued yesterday, and with some five to six eveuts down for decision each day, some grand sport is in store for society. Last year the meeting was a most ronounced success and the Paris mut Eaxcs afforded the speculatively incli ample opportunity to get rid of their loose change. On tbat occasion the crimson with gold maltese cross colors of Walter Hobart were very popular and no doubt at the coming meet will be seen well to the fore in the different events. J. Talbot Clifton, he of the many ex- ploits, owner of racehorses and the coach Meteor, was alsc a conspicuous figure at the races last year and no doubt his pres- ence will be greatly missea—especially by those looking for match races. £ Entries_ will close on August 15 with Major J.

This was determined upon at a meeting of the executive committee of the Carnival of the Golden Gate, after a tion of the committee. Mr. Pillsbury, who will serve as clerk of the committee throughout the campaign, is bright and clever writerand a man deeply versed in political history and economic science. The members of the literary committees Who are present in this City met yesterday with several members of ihe Republican League of Editors to further outlive the f‘feplralion of campaign literature. A.B. emmon presided at the informal confer- ence, and among the others present were T. G. Daniels, editor of the Alameda Ar- g‘fla and president of the State League of tepublican Editors, G. M. Francis of the Napa Register and A. J. Pillsbary. he Republican campaign literature to be issued will be prepared mainly along two lines. It will present the doctine of bimetallism from a Republican stana- point, showing the true stand of the Republican party, which is not a gold party, but one which favors the largest possible use of goid and silver which can be brought about by obedience to sound economic laws, Alonfinother line the campaign litera- ture to be put forth will present the value of protection to the country and its es- vecial yalue to California. This State has many industries which depend maialy on @ protective tariff for their success and prosperity, and the lines upon which pro- tection is QBFecinlly desirable to California will be clearly and forcibly set forth. _Chairman McLaughlin, Secretary Hig- gins and the other members of the com- mittee who are especially active just now are still giving much attention to urging registration throughout the State before registration closes. The Republican press of the State and the various county com- mittees have done much toward urging registration during the brief and early period in which it goes on under the new law. The Btate headquarters in the Palace Hotel are daily visited by the leading Re- publicans of the State as they happen to drop into town. Hon. Johu A. Barham, who has a practical certainty of re-election in the First District, was one of the callers 10 BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY NOW Proceedings Agaiinst C. 0. Swanberg and H. W. Westphal.

Rugg, Who Was Drowned While Attempting to Ford the North Fork of the Feather River. ‘Weather Observer Hammon was before | the committee yesterday and presented statistics about the weather. He was at- tentively listened to by the committee. November, immediately following the eleciion, and February, preceding the in- | auguration, were suggested as good months | in which to hold it. But Mr. Hammon’s | figures were against both months, on ac- count of the rainfall record. Carnival Director Friedlander was one of the strongest advocates of postpone- ment. In company with several members | of the committee he has been canvassing | mercantile establishments, and nearly afi uxpressed an opinion against the fall. " He cited the case of the Palace Hotel, which would contribute $500 for a fall celebration and $1500 if it came off in the spring. A letter from James D. Phelan was read at this juncture. He strongly favored the carnival project as a means of bringing people to San Francisco. “I am also of the opinion,” said he, “that the time is too short in which to prepare a carnival worthy of the City and State. I have con- suited with artists and business men. The business men say they do not want it this vear because everything is so unsettled. Artists say that the deocorations would require many more months than you have at your disposal.” Henry J. Crocker also advocated post- ponement, but suggested that the preseunt | organization be mergea into a carnival | club to carry outtheidea. W. H. Mills advocated postponement, saying, ‘‘for years the interior has monpo- lized that form of entertainment which | has become a feature of California life. It is the duty of the people of S8an Francisco to get up such an affair that we may point the way, and let others follow. I will agree to pay myém) Tata to meet expenses -to keep the affair before the public.”” The months of July and August, Feb- roary and March were mentioned, when the smallest number of people are usually in the City. By a unamimous vote it was decided to select April, and fix the date at least ten days in advance of any carnival in the State. The headquarters in the Mills building | will be retained, and the work of can- | vassing continued. General Warfield is | trying to induce & young, active business | man to take hold of the chairmanship of the finaice committee in place of R. B. Soule, who has resigned. The party has | given a partial promise of accepting. | W. H. Mills suggested that the support | of the California press be enlisted in the Brooklyn Presbyterian (‘hurch, East Oak- land, to-day at 3:30 p. m. The interment will take place at Mountain View Ceme- tery, where the Golden Gate }Masonic Lodge, of which the deceased was a mem- ber, and the Brooklyn Lodge of Masons will perform the last rites to the memory of the dead. Amos U. Rugg was born in Compton County, Canada, January 22, 1865, and was raised on a tarm. He graaua‘ed with honors from the Quebec Military College at the age of 18. 1In 1887 he came to Cali- fornia and engaged in the real estate busi- ness. In 1890 he married Miss Loutse V. Thomas of Fruitvale. His wife and two children, a boy of 4 years and an infant daughter, survive him. His principal efforts for the past few years have been in and around the great hydraulic fields of Laporte, Plumas County, where, with his father-in-law, J. H. Thomas, he has mined successfully. Lately he has been working the well- known rich bars on the north fork of the Feather River in Plumas Couity. » Mr. Rugg took & prominent part in the organization of the Gold Bar Consolidated Mining Company of this City.

He has not yet fairly begun his canvas, but the especial cry for protec- tion which goes up from the wool, lumber, fruit, wine and other industries of that part of the State, added to Barham’s record and to his personal popularity, make his election one of the few certainties of this campaign.

One of them has gene; we do not know where. Perhaps he has gone to China. “If he has not, if he is still in this coun- try, I think it likely we shall overtake him.

There will be many ramifications in the matter, and many persons, some of them occupying more or less exalted positions, will be implicated. We have been work- ing on this business for three weeks.

Proceedings of the Thirty-First Assembly District Club. A large and enthusiastic gathering of the Republicans of the lower end of the Thirty-first Assembly District was held at Sullivans Hall, 1114 Bryant street, last evening, the occasion being the organiza- tion of the Imperial Republican Club. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, James J. Graham; first vice-presi- dent, D. E. Sullivan; second vice-presi- dent, August Planz; recording secretary, Edward Dunning; treasurer, Joan Collins; marshal, Joun Reilly., securities to the amount of $1800 1n my care, to_meet any obligations that might arise. No draft was made upon me in the matter. “‘Corriveau returned, but soon after died, while I still held the securities. Edna Dean, who claimed to be his widow, demanded the securities of me, but I turned them over to the Public Adminis- trator. She has been after me ever since and has tried to blackmail me and 1s still wrying. But 1 will not be blackmailed. That is all there is to it. “I never had nng property of Corriveau’s in my possession but this $1800 and that, as I say, I turned over to the Public Ad- ministrator. “‘This whole thing is an outrageand a shame. They seem to arrange to bring these things up when Swanberg is away. They charged him with running swn{ in the Pacific Bank mratter. I calied him | back by telegraph, greatly to his annoy- | ance and expense. I will notdoit again.” | Mr. Dorn, Mr. Westphal's attorney, who | is sick in bed at the St. Nicholas, said | briefly last night: ““There is substantially | nothing to this affair at all except an at- ! tempt at blackmail. Mr. Westphal’s only offense is that he had dealings with a man who is dead. I knew Corriveau per- sonally. *‘He uad had an experience with a broken bank ana had refused to intrust his money | toanother. He put some of it in the Safe | Deposit vaults and sent much more of it to Canada. When this money referred.to here was returned to him a check was offered. “He refused it—he would have no checks. He insistea on money and money was given him. It was for the satisfaction of | a mortgage. No receipt was taken. It is not the custom in such cases. I know that there is nothing more in this case | than an attempt at blackmail that failed.” | The facts connected with the Corriveaun | estate have been made public from time | to time. Corrivean was su{vpcsed to be uite wealthy at the time of his death, in arch, 189. Edna Dean claimed to be | his widow. Corrivean owned a building on Geary street, between Stockton and | Grant avenue, at one time. This property he sold for $60,000, and of this amount he deposited $20,000 in the People’s Bank. ‘When that bank suspended payment Cor- riveau went to the paying-teller's desk, and at the point of tne pistol eollected the $20,000 standing there to his credit.
