THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SUNDAY, AU FUST 30, 1896. ABLAZEAT ERVILLE Gregory’s Trial Interrupted by the Pealing of a Firebell. ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH DESTROYED. Round Valley and Lone Ridge Factions Join in Saving Property. FEUD OF THE CATTLE KINGS FORGOTTEN., George White and Ves Palmer Bear the Altar From the Burning Edifice. WEAVERVILLE, CaL, Aug. 20.—The trial of Joe Gregory for complicity in the lynching of *“Jack” Littlefield in Round Valley last September was interrupted.to- day by the pealing of the Weaverville firebell. For two hours court officials, wit- nesses and habitues forgot the Round Valley feud and battled side by side to stay a conflagration. When the bell sounded ai 11:20 o’clock, it was discovered tnat the rectory of St. Patrick’s Church (Roman Catholic) was on fire, and in a few minutes the church itself was wranped in flames. A strong wind was blowing from the east, and the principal business blocks of Weaverville were in danger of destruction. A bucket brigade was hastily formed, extending from a hydrant to the church.: (for a fire engine is an unknown device in Trinity County), and tin pails, oil cans and vessels of every deseription were pressed into service and passed rapidly along the line to the fire. It was the first serious fire that has oc- curred in Weaverville for years, and the excitement among the residents was in- tense. Men, women and children joined in the common fight against the conflagra- tion. Along the bucket line could be seen Chinamen, negroes, white men and Indians passing the buckets from one to another, but the remarkable part was the sight of the Lone Ridgers and the deni- zens of Round Valley standing side by side, passing the water, along the line with feverish haste, apparently oblivious of the mortdl enmity that has existed be- tween them. Tom Henley passed pails to “Hi’” Wii- burn, who gave anything but testimony palatable to the former a few days ago, and Buck Lacock, who is out on bail, stood between two witnesses and urged them to make all possible haste. But the grand coup of the day was when Ves Palmer and George E. White, the leaders of the two powerful factions now battling at law over the life or death of Joe Gregory at Weaverville, rushed ipto the burning church and emerged there- from bearing the sacred altar between them, which they removed to a safe dis- tance beyond the devouring flames. They were closely followed by Alec Perry of Covelo, a friend of White, with a life-sized statue of the Savior on his right shoulder. The church was built in 1859, and was considered one of the finest edifices in the northern part of the State atthe time of its construction. Many thousands of dol- Iars were contributed toward its erection, but in those days everything cost dearly here. Around the church was an old gravevard, the graves being for the most part marked by wooden headboards, for the enormous expense of transporting granite or marble tombstones by wagon over the steep summit of tie Trinity Mountains, a distance of fifty-six miles from Redding, the nearest railway town, would be beyond question except to the weslthiest. his graveyard was swept by the flames, and the boards that identified the graves destroyed, leaving nothing to distinguish one inound from another. The first witness to testify for the de- fense this morning was George E. W hite, tue cattle king, at whose door a portion of the conspiracy to kill Sylvester Palmer and “Jack” Littlefield is laid. Throughout the brief examination he was non-commit- tal and diplomatic in his replies. It would have been impossible for his worst enemy to have taken umbrage at his suave an- swers. Doolittle had told the witness that Palmer had taken all his cattle, and had now taken a mule, and he had replied he “would not let him take ail he had.” He faintly remembered having said some- thing about giving the lawyer a lien on the muie in prefereace to “planking up sound money’’ for his professional ser- vices. White had inferred from the con- versation with Doolittle that Palmer’s taking of the cattle was quite within the color and sanction of the law asit was construed in Round Valley. Charles Gregory, brother of Joe Greg- ory, next went on the stand. He stated that he had been at the Vinton cabin on September 27, with Joe Gregory, Fred Radcliffe and wife and Peter O’Neill. They went down to the river to fish that after- noon, and’ while there saw Bayles Van Horn, John Crow and “Jack” Littlefield going up the Wylackie ridge about 5 o’clock in the evening. His testimony was at variance to that given by Peter O’Neil and Mrs. Radcliffe, and many of his statements as to distance and time conflicted sadly. The vital point of the| testimony was the time that Joe Gregory and Radcliffe had returned to the cabin that eévening, it being of the utmost im- portance fo the defense to prove that they returned home before or at sundown. To this the witness swore positively, and also tnat the mule which Radcliffe had ridden had been shod twg days before with smooth shoes, as was also the horse which was ridden by Joe Gregory. ltsname was Cachunk, and it belonged to George White. George Lightfoot, uncie of Joe Gregory, was next sworn. Lightfoot’s memory was obscured and hazy on all points save that the mule ridden by Fred Radcliffe was newly shod, and that Peter O’Neill had held said mule’s head while he was being shod. O'Neili testified that the mule was barefooted. N Lawyer Rohrbough, 2 nephew of John Rohrbough and also of White, who is a evurQner of and manager for Georgze E. hite, was the next to occupy the wit- ness chair. His examination had just be- gun when the fire bell rang outside the courthouse, and with one accord witness and jurors grabbed their hats and made a rush for the door, the Judge shouting a parting admohition to them as their coat~ tails disappeared through the threshold. Court was again called at 2 o’clock, but as many of the jurors were wet from fight- ing fire, and as the Judge bad not recov- ered his breath,which he lost while sprint- ing homeward to protect his residence, it was aecided to take a recess until 10 o’clock Monaay mornin, Fate of Marin’s Defaulter, SAN RAFAEL, CaL, Aug. 29,—Judge Murphy to-day sentenced R. B. Soudon, convicted of embezzlement, to five years in San Quentin. Judge Darwin made a motion tor a new trial principally on ‘the grounds of the court’s refusal to give cer- tain mstructions to the jury, which was asked for by tne defendant. The motion was denied. Judge Murphy also refused to allow writ of probable cause, but granted stay of execution until next Wednesday morning to allow application to other authorities if desired. S SURROUNDED NEAR DBMING. Unrted States Troops Closing Upon the Band of Nogales Bank Robbers. SILVER CITY, N. Mex., Aug. 29.—Two companies of United States troops bave again been ordered into the field to assist Marshal Hall in an attempt to capture the gang of border bandits, and have been scouring the plains all night in company with deputies. The boldness of the bandits is something remarkable. After escaping from Skele- ton Canyon, where they were supposed to be surrounded, and passing the pursuers at Lordsburg, traveling 110 miles undiscovered, the men came within a few miles of Deming and passed the night with a rancher and in the morn- ing came into town, called at the posto:- fice, got mail, and their presence was not even known by the officers until they had left in a northerly direction, apparently in the direction of Colorado. There are 150 men in pursuit and a complete circle has been formed with a radius of twenty miles. Hall feels confident of making a capture. The robbers are thought to be hiding in Cocks Peak Mountains, eighteen miles north of Deming. —_—— BARKS LIKE A DOG. A Woman in BStockton’s Jail Suffering ‘ ¥rom Hydrophobia. STOCKTON, Oan., Aug. 29.—Laura Johnson was arrested on a charge of grand larceny here on Thursday and ac- cused of baving robbed a man of $100. She admitted her guilt and was bound over to answer before the Superior Court. This morning, in the county jail, she was attacked with what seems to be hydro- phobia. She panted like a dog and whined and barked. The autnorities had to strap her down. Onpiates were admin- istered to soothe her nerves. This is the second attack of the kind the woman has suffered. About six months ago a similar fit lasted several weeks. The case is a peculiar one and is exciting un- usual interest among the medical profes- sion. The woman is said to have been bitten by a doz some years ago. Nothing was thought of the bite at the time, as the dog’s teeth barely penetrated her flesh. SAN' JOSE'S COUNTY FAIR Plans Perfected at a Meeting of Citizens of Santa Clara Valley. Assurances of H:arty Support and Co-operation Received From Every Sc:ction. SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 29.—A largely attended meeting of representatives from every section of Santa Clara County was | held at the Board of Trade rooms this afternoon to perfect plans for a county fair to open on September 28 and continue | one week. Committees have been hard at work for a n.onth past, and when A. C. Darby, chairman of the executive commit- tee, opened the meeting to-day and called for reports of work accomplished the greatest enthusiasm was displayed, as from every quarter came assurances of encouragement and co-operation. As planned by the Board of Trade, there is to be an ola-time county fair, with ex- hibits in the pavilion ot every known product of the county, and a department devoted to home manufactures. The fruit and wine exhibits, from present indica- tions, will eclipse anything of the kina heretofore displayed in this county. Mrs. Robert Syer, prominent in social circles here, has been appointed lady man- ager, and next week a meeting of women from al! over the county will be held. In connection with the fair will be a stock exhibit, and each day will occur rousing events under the direction of the Afiricullural Society. Entertainments will also be given each evening. e O’CONNOR TALKS AT SAN JOSE. Declares Prosperity Would Follow the Election of Bryan. SAN JOSE, CaL.,, Aug. 29.—A meeting of the Democratic Central Club of Santa Clara County was held at Turn Verein Hall in this city this evening. There was an attendance of about 250. The meeting was presided over by Leo B. Archer. The first speaker was W. A. O’Counor of Napa. He replied to arguments in the recent speeches of 8. M. Shortridge and General W. H. L. Barnes, and asserted that the triumph of Bryan and free silver would mean the upbuilding of American manu- factures and commerce and ruination of England, as far as securing any market for her products in the United States and South America wasconcerned. The meet- ing was closed with a speech by N.T. Biddle, who predicted that with the union of Democracy and Populism the triumph of Bryan and free silver was assured. There was an addition of twenty-five names to the club roll, making a total membership of about 12 B SAN JOSE’S REFURM WAVE. Reckless Drivers and Wheelmen Will Be Vigorously Prosecuted. SAN JOSE, CAL., Aug. 20.—Peter Picetti, Enrico Arrighi and Ferno Zicoghi, three ltaiians, were arraigned before Justice Dwyer this afternoon on a felony charge. While driving along Orchard street, near 0Oak, Wednesday evening the men ran over Mrs. Louisa Bernal, an aged Spanish woman, inflicting serious injuries. Their examination was set for September 7. Bail was fixed at $500 each. Of late a great deal of fast riding has been indulged in by bicyclists and drivers of vehicles, and many serious accidents have happened. The arrests to-day are the first in a crusade inaugurated acainst reckless driving and riding. About two weeks ago Antonio Prusselli an aged Italian laborer, was run over by an un- known woman and seriously hurt. He is still 1n a precarious condition. e Marched to Alvis ASAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 24.

LIVED WITH INDIANS. Ledges Streaked With Gold Re- vealed to Him by the Redskins. COMING TO SAN FRANCISCO. Bears a Sack of Yellow Metal for a Wedding Present to His Grand- daunghter. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 20.—George 5. 75 years old, passed through here for S8an Francisco last night, after an absence of 40 vears., During that period he eschewed the society of his fellowman as much as | possible, never venturing into populated sections of Southern Oregon except when he needed supplies, and that was not more than twice a year. He located in the wilds some miles distant from Grants Pass nearly thirty-five years ago, and it is doubtful whether five score of people in that section of the country are aware of his existence. When Farnwell first located there the country swarmed with Indians and wild beasts. The Indians once made him cap- tive, but they soon came to regard him as supernatural being, and he was released. For the first time in almost a generation Farnwell broke his reticence while waiting for the departure of the train that was to carry him to the scenes that knew him when he was young. “After I had been with the Indians a few months, they driving me to all kinds of servile work,” said the old man, ‘'scarlet fever broke out among a dozen of their papooses. As early as that time I packed a chest of homeopathic medicines with me. When the Indians captured me they relieved me of my medicines, as well as all else I had, but because of some super- stition they left my medicine chest intact. When the disease broke out among the little ones and four of them died under aboriginal treatment I volunteered {o cure therest if my pox of mystery was re- | turned to me. The Indians feared to trust me at the outset, but after a consultation, during which another papoose died, my request was acceded to. “In the meantime ten more littls In- dians were attacked by the scourge, and I quarantined all of thesick. My medicines worked miracles, and under my treatment not a person died. 1was looked upon as a great medicine man, and after that my former masters became my servants. “Through those Indians I was enabled to locate a very rich mining property, of which to this day no white man but my- self knows anything. I have 1000 pounds of mixed gold stored away in a place where no one will discoverit. In yonder little chest I have 100 pounds of the metal, which I am taking to the San Fran- cisco mint. I mined merely to keep my- self occupied until death ciaimed me, for I never expected to associate with my kind again.” 3 Farnwell said that the only circum- stances tending to change his mind was a brief notice of an ensuing marriage of one of his granddaughters, which he saw in a San Francisco paper a week ago. Not once in five years did he glance at a news- paper and to him it seemed providential that he should have seen this one. “It appears to me to be a command from the Almighty,” said the old man, “that I must again mingle with my own flesh and blood. The article stated that the young lady’s grandlather had been receiving tel- ler with Page, Bacon & Co. in San Fran- cisco up to within a few months of the failure of the house during the panic of 1856. I being the man, I resolved to fix my son’s girl so she wouldn’t want_ for anything the heart desires in this life. That i,s why I am going to San Fran. cisco.” COLORADO DESERT STORM Traffic on the Santa Fe Delayed by a Dewnpour of Rain. Washou's Are Reported and the Over- land Train Is Held at Los Angeles. 828 South Broadway, Los AxGeLes, Cal., Aug. 29. The weather has been extremely sultry Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CAL‘L,} throughout Southern California to-day. Dark, heavy clouds have hung about the mountain crests-all day and rain has fallen in-many spots. This seems to have been a sequel to one of the heaviest storms ever known on the desert side of the mountains. Up to 6 o’clock this morning rain had fallen constantly all the way from Victor, on the line of the Santa Fe Railroad, to the Colorado River for a period of more than twelve hours. Wash- outs are reported along the Santa Fe Rail- road at many desert stations. Owing to these breaks in the track the overland train, due to leave here this morning, has been held here until the road can paired. How long this will take itisim- possible to tell, since at last accounts rain was still falling in torrents at many places on its line. This being the rainy season on the desert the chances are that more or less damage has also been sustained by the Santa Fa in New Mexico. Rainstorms are reported along the Yuma division of ti Bouthern Pacific, but no serioust damage had oc- curred up to 5 o’clock this afternoon. —_— Netw Scale of Wages. LO8 ANGELE, COan, Aug. 29.—The new scale of wages ihat has been agreed upon by the Carpenters’ Union and the buiiding contractors, ngruenung at least 90 per cent of the work being done in the city, goes into effect on Monday.

Wasn.,, Aug. 29.—To-day’s Alaske advices say that the Government commission, headed by Dr. David Starr Jordan, created for the purpose of inquir- ing into the status of the seal industry, has discovered that the herds bave diniin- ished in size and numbers to an insignifi- cant fraction of their former vast number; that it is extremely improbable that the company having a contract for taking $0,000 skins annually will be able to secure that many this season, even in the face of the fact that the age restriction es to bulls has been reduced one year. The Albatross, which vessel carried the commission from this pori, in continuance of her mission is. r?orted to have sailed to the Japan coas! - A 25 R AR ROMANCE OF S4aN DIEGO. Young Sweethearts Overcome Paternal Ubjeotions by Wedding at Sea. SAN DIEGO, Car, Aug. 29.—Scott Palmer, son of J. D. Palmer, the house- mover, wanted to get married the other day and applied to his father for per- mission. Scott is only 19, but big for his age, and with a pretty large amount of sell-reliance. The father refused, saying that the boy should wait until at least 21 years old before entering into the responsi- bilities of married life. The boy was not pleased Wwith the reply. He was ready right then to enter upon any responsibility connected with matri- mony. He did not say anything to his father, but consulted a good deal with the girl—Miss May Kendall, 17, and pretty. She was disposed to postpone the matter when she learned of the old man’s de- cision, but young Palmer wouldn’t have it, and then he broached, with a great deal of diplomacy, the propositicn to go to sea and get married. '1*3 this the girl de- murred, She had not been to sea much and she might get sick. Then she was not sure it was a legal marriage, and she didn’t want any other kind. ‘rhe publicity and every- thing else caused her to hesitate. When Scott saw her hesitate he knew he had won. He urged, implored, begged and explained until finally the girl con- sented. Captain George Chase, the urbane skipper of the junk Acme, was the man who tied the knot. On Thursday morning he engaged the launch Urania, Captain Paulsen, to go out on a fishing cruise. Captain Chase got his wife and hurried aboard. Young Palmer and Miss Kendall appeared by appointment, and all em- barked for the high seas, where the skip- per’s word is law, be he ever so humble, There, with the rolling waves and sea- birds’ ery for music, the young couple made their vows. Captain Chase tied a true love knot, and no matter how mad tke parents become the tie will bind. STOCKTON'S FAIR AIDS, Native Daughters Will Play an Important Part at the Carnival.

STOCKTON, CAL., Aug. 29.—There was excitement in the works of the Matteson- Williamson Manufacturing Company this morning, when one faction of the board of directors seized the works and office on ‘Main street and prevented those who had been in control from entering. There has been trouble brewing in the directorate of the company for some time. It culminated several days ago when the faction headea by H. £, Williamson, who bas been managing the concern, made a motion at one of the directors’ meetings to oust Don Mattason from the presi- dency. Matteson refused to entertain the motion and declared the meeting ad- journed. The three directors who favored the Williamson interests then held a meet- lng‘nnd declared the office of president va- cant. Last night a special meeting of the di- rectors was called, but the &illhmlon factior was not present. The Matteson crowd resolved to take possession of the works and books of the company this morning and prevent the others from en- tering. Thgy found tbat the corbination of the safe had been changed, but hid themselves until the bookkeeper put in by William- sou had opened the yault, when they took possession and discharged him, refusing toallow any of the others to enter the works. All of those connected with the exten- sive concern are wealthy and one of the most sensational lawsuits in the history of theflconntry will probably grow out of the affair. 7 —— Tragedy at Fresno.

FAILS N THE FIRST., DemoCrats at Napa Name a Candidate for Congress. CUTLER OF HUMBOLDT. A Harmonious Gathering, Where Proxies Outnumber the Delegates. BITTER WORDS FOR MONTEITH. The Populist Nominee Denounced Be- cause He Wou'd Not Withdraw. NAPA, CaL., Aug. 29.—Fletcher A. Cut- ler of Humboldt County was to-day nom- inated for Congress by the Democratic party of the First Congressional District. The District Convention met at 11:30 o’clock to-day at the Napa Opera-house, pursuant to adjournment taken here two weeks ago. In numbersand enthusiasm the gathering differed little from that of August 15, when Mr. Geary'appeared with his peckets full of proxies. The dele- gates were not so numerous but that they could be readily counted, and on the countenance of each perplexity rather than pleasure was written. J. C. Ruddock of Ukiah called the meet- ing to order, stated its objects and asked for the delegates’ further pleasure. On motion the chair appointed the following committee on credentials: -Saunders, Martin, Lane of Mendocino; Harris of Napa; Wells of Tebama. The following committee on resolutions was also ap- pointed: Wilkins of Napa, Duhring of Sonoma, Sellers of Humboldt, Wilkins of Marin, Braynard of Shasta, Andrews of Tehama and Taylor of Shasta. Recess was then taken until 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. On reassembling, the committee on cre- dentials reported forty-five proxies and a less number of delegates present. Ex- Congressman Geary reported for the com- mittee on fusion appointed at the first meeting. Its mission bad been embar- rassed by the position of Monteith, the Populist nominee, who refused to accept the decision of the committee of fifteen— six Democrats, six Populists and three Silverites—unless the decision was in his favor. Geary then proceedea to warm the Monteith personality with a speech full of bitterness and strong language, and moved that the convention proceed to nominate a straight-out Democrat, who would agree to submit his resignation to the commit- tee, which meets in San Francisco next Monday, and be willing to accept what- | ever might be done. After the reading of the resolutions, nominations were declared in order. Sellers of Humboldt presented the name of, Fletcher A. Cuvler'of Humboldt. The nomination was seconded by Ruddock, chairman of the committee. Ina neat speech, T. J. Geary of Santa Rosa placed Henry Hogan of Napa in nomination. Hogan has been one of the foremost Demo- crats of Napa County, and his name was received with much applause. The nomi- nation was seconded by B. S. Wilkins of Napa. Hogan would not allow his nume to go before the convention, and so Cutler was chosen by acclamation. Cutler, in accepting the nomination, pledged’ himself to do all in his power to advance the Democratic party and Demo- cratic interests. L PEEKINS AT PETALUMA, 4 Republican Gathering Addressed by the Senator. PETALUMA, Carn., Aug. 20.—Petaluma awoke from its politicai apathy, when this evening, under the auspices of the McKinley Club, Hon. George C. Perkins and 8. J. Duckworth spoke before a large and enthusiastic audience. Many ladies were present, members of the Women’s Suffrage Club turning out in force. The local theater was tastefully and profusely decorated, the club members being as- sisted therein by laaies who would vote for McKinley could they only be recog- nized as being superior to idiots and Indians. After appropriate National airs by the band, Lyman Green opened the meeting. The vice-presidents were: Colonel Fair- banks, Messrs. M. Walsh, W. H. Darden, William Hartman, W. B, Haskel, H, L.

Lewis, H. echam, A. Neuberger, L. Tomasini, J. B. Hinkle, J, L. Dinwiddte. el Chairman Dinwiddie made a few appro- priate remarks in a fervent Republican spirit, and greatly in favor of woman suf- {frage, ending with a g:ncefnl introduetion to the audience of Benator Perkins, who for some minutes, owing to tne noisy dem- onstrations, was unable to proceed. Fi- nally, the enthusiasm subsiding, he opened his speech with words in praise of Letaluma, being frequently interrupted by applause, especially when the names of cKinley and Hobart were mentioned. The Senator spoke of the unswerving titude of the Republican party that wi born with its first President, Abraham Lincoln. NevVer, he declared, had it been unfaithful or untrue to any promises made to the people. He held up the fallacious views of the Democrats and showed the weak points in their platform. in striking contrast to the stability of the Republican policy. The Senator's discourse was in- terspersed with many fitting anecdotes, all broaght to bear upon the subject, and atter holding his audience for aimost two hours, he retired amidst much applaunse to make way for the next speaker. Ex-As- semblyman 8. J. Dackworth of Monterey was introduced by J. L. Dinwiddje, and madeateiling and eloquent speech, and the meeting broke up with ‘‘three times three” for McKinley, protection and prosperity. gL ) RALLY AT VISALIA.

Daugherty presided over tbe meet- ing and speeches were made by Hon. W. J. Hill, G. A. Daugherty, Mrs. J. Winston and Mrs. H. L. Bradiord. The laiter two dwelt particularly upon the woman's suffrage plank of the Fintform. . McKinley’s letter of acceptance is uni- versally regarded among the Republicans here as the ablest production of the cam- ign. Many Populists and Democrats in different portions of the county have expressed their intention of voting for ‘‘protection and sound money,” and Re- publican prospects are brightening daily. —_—————— _BTOCKTON’S McKINLEY CLUB. Three Hundred MNames Enrolled at the Opening Meeting. STOCKTON, CaL., Aug. 29.—One of tl{a largest political clubs ever formed in this county was organized to-night, when 300 Republicans gathered at the headquarters on Hunter street, between Main and Mar- ket, and perfected a temporary organiza- tion under the name of the McKinley and Hobart club.

So quietly was the meeting called that manydid not know of it, and but for this reason there would have been fully 500 in attendance to-night. While the Democrats were making all the noise on the plaza the Re- publicans were organizing so guietly two blocks away that no one outside knew of the meeting. : A determination to win in this section seemed to dominate all the acts of those who conducted the meeting to-night.
