PACIFIC GROVE MOURNS. Funeral of Frank ‘Oyer, the Victim of Tuesday Night's Disaster on Toro Grade. PACIFIC GROVE, CarL., Oct. 14.—Frank Oyer, the lad who was killed Monday night in the carrlage accident on the Sa- linas road, was buried to-day at 2 o’clock from the picturesque Episcopal church of St. Mary’s-by-the-Sea. Long before the appointed hour friends gathered at the church and with sympathetic hands made it beautiful with quantities of flowers. The bier upon which the coffin rested during the service was a simple but beautiful bank of white roses and ferns. At 1:30 the pupils of the Pacific Grove High School and the highest grade from the Monterey Grammar School, attended by the principal, Mr. Hickman, assembled at the school building and marched to the beat of a muffled drum to the home of Mr. Oyer, father of the dead boy, and from there acted as escort of honor to their comrade’s remains, At the head of this column of school hoys and girls walked the color-bearer, carrying the High School colors drapea in black. At the church door the corpse was met by the Rev. Mr. Fackenthal, rector of St. Mary’s-by-the- Sea, according to she church ritual, with the solemn words, “I am the resurrection and the life.”’ The service was impressive and deeply affecting. When the funeral cortege left the church for El Carmelio Cemetery the line formed was the larzest even known i c Grove. At its head rode the Sali football eleven, against which the Pacific Grove boys had played on Monday. Then came school pupils on wagonettes, accompanied by their teachers, led by Professor Sandwick, the principal of the High School, and Charles Rosendale, who coached the focal football elrven just pre- vious to its match with the Salinas eleven, He is a post graduate of Stanford Uni- versity. Next rode the honorary pall- bearers, the remaining nine of the football team, the tenth, James Mori, being too ill to attend. The active service was verformed by other boy friends of the deceased. as the members of the team had not sufficlently recovered from their injuries to act. Rev. Mr. Fackenthal and the family followed, and after them a long line of private car- riages containing relatives and friends. The business houses of Pacific Grove were closed during the hours of the funeral services. The Bank of Monterey, of which the father of the unfortunate youth is a stockholder and director, was also closed and draped. The floral tributes were many and elegant. Among the handsomest was & natural-sized broken wheel of biue and white violets, sent by the Salinas High School. o Sl ASIR TACOMA ABDUCTION CASE. David Patterson Arrested for Carrying Of a Girl.

VCTINZE A DRUMWER Montana Bunko Men Pick Up a Tenderfoot From Sleepy Philadelphia, ~ The Stranger Drugged and Then Robbed of His S:mpl: Case of J welry. PORTLAND, Oz, Oct. 14.— Leopold Adler, representing Pkiladelphia jewelry manufacturers, arrived in Portland last night minus his sample case, containing $7000 worth of jewelry. He departed on to-day’s train for Livingston, Mont., where he hopes to recover'at least a por- tion of his missing valaables. Adler is not more than 26 years old, and this is his first irip to the ‘‘wild and woolly” West. A few hours before the train on which he was a passenger reached Livingston two well appearing young men engaged him in conversation, which finally wound up in a friendly game of whist. While the play was progressing a third genteel-looking fellow invited the party to join him in a bottle of wine. The invita- tion was accepted, and not only one'bottle but three were emptied before the trio re- turned to the game. Before the end of the second deal Adler was sound asleep, and he awoke only after the train had left Livingston several miles behind it. His three social frienas had left the train at that point. Adier paid no attention to his valuable sample-case until the train rolled into the Union depot at Portland. He then found all his other packages of baggage, butthe most valu- able one was missing, and in it was $7000 worth of diamonds and jewelry. The young drummer, quickly realizing that his friends on the cars had drugegd and robbed him, having by some means ascertained he was a jewelry drummer with a valuable stock in his possession, wired to the Sheriff at Livingston a de- scriotion of the confederates. He received a reply later to return at once to identify his men, who are notorious bunko sharp- ers in that locality and within reach of the authorities. gl o CAUGHYT AT RIVERSIDE, Officers Apprehend a Forger Wanted in New York City.

DIED IN A SAN EMIDIO CANYON Corpse of a Lone Traveler Found on a Desert Tract. - Proved to Be That of Edwin O. Hahn, a San Francisco Attorney. HAD SUCCUMBED TO THIRST. Effects Found Near the Body Leave No Doubt as to Its Identity. BAKERSFIELD, CaAL, Oct. 14—The remains of a man, believed to be Edwin O, Hahn, a young attorney of S8an Francisco, were found on Saturday morning, about sixty miles west of here, in a canyon of the desert foothills of the San Emidio Mountains and near a wagon road leading from Bakersfiela to San Lnis Obispo. A French sheepherder made the discovery. The information was received by Goroner Helm of this place Sunday evening. The sadly grief-stricken, ana his jpoor mother was completely prostrated. He was the only son and 24 years of age. The young man was born in Baltimore, Md., and came to this State with his parents twenty years ago. Hahn received his education in the Hamilton Grammar School and the Boys’ High School. He was graduated from the Hastings Law Colleze and » year and a half ago was admitted to grucnca in the profession of his choice. Since then he has devoted much of his practice to land cases, and for a young man was very successful. He was highly respected and had a large circle of intimate friends. His family at once sent to Bakersfield to have the body forwarded to this City for interment, and the news that it had been buried somewhere away in the des- ert added to their distress. REDWOOD CITY FAIR. Catholic Ladies of Mount Carmel Church Open Their Benefit Expo- sition. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Oct. 14.—The ladies' fair for the benefit of Mount Car- mel Catholic Church was opened to-night under most favorable auspices. Germania Hall had been for several days in posses- sion of the decorators, and its appearance was ample evidence of the taste and originality of the ladies who had designed the decorations. Judge Edward F. Fitz- patrick delivered the address formally opening the fair. There are three fancy tables. The first is in charge of Mrs. Kearse, assisted by her daughters Mrs. Winters and Miss Dollie Kearse. The Misses Flannelly and McCarthy, assisted by Mrs, McCarthy, conducted the second table. Mrs. James Curran, Mrs. P. J. Foley and Miss Minnie Stafford preside at the third table, assisted by Miss Mnide Dolan and the Misses Solen. Mrs. M. Hedge and Mrs. Reynolds are in charge of the lemonade table with Miss_Rose Swift and Miss May Hanley to assist. The icecream booth is looked after by Mrs. Miramontes and the Misses Mira- EDWIN O. HAHN, the Young Attorney, of San Francisco, Whose Corpse Has Been Found in a Canyon of the San Emidio Range. next morning he sent Jean Pool as his depnty to hold an inquest, and it was not until this afternoon that Pool returned. Pool says the body was located in a lonely canyon, in a country nothing mors than a desert. There was neither in- habitant, timber nor water within miles of it. The body was lying on its face, close to the road, apparently where 1t had fallen. Every indication tends to prove that the man had perished for the want of water and food, for there were no marks on the body to show that death had re- sulted from violence from either beast or man. The body was coatless, and beside it lay a hand-satchel and a memorandum-book. Light trousers,!a black shirt and black felt hat constituted the main portion of the clothing. The hair wasbrown and the beard, apparently of a week’s growth, was of a reddish cast. The satchel contained papers and several business cards of law- yers and real-estate men, all showing con- nection with San Francisco and that the man had resided in that city. Among the cards were & number unused, bearing the following: % EDWIN O. HAHN, Attorney and Counseilor-at-Law, 522 Montgomery street, Rooms 1 and 2. This name appeared on the front of the scratch-book, which contained many notes regarding lands, etc. Many of them were in shorthand. The book and entries are just such as an ordinary attorney might carry into court with him and in which he would jot down casual notes. Among the entries was one showing the name of “Dan A. McColgan, attorney-at- law, 22 Montgomery street,” and another “Henry L. Horn, notary, corner of Wash- ington and Battery streets.”” In the satchel was also a steamship ticket from San Francisco to Port Harford and return. The ticket bore the date of October 2. It showed that it had been used by him or some one else to ride to Port Harford. It apvoeared that death had resulted something like two days before the body was found. The man was about 28 years of age, and the body indicated that it had been thatof a man who did not toil. 1t was buried nesr where it was found. The unfortunate man was evidently coming toward Bakersfield when over- come. —_——— UNDOUBTEDLY HAHN'S BODY, The Unfortunate Man’s Relatives Are Left No Ray of Hope. There is no doubt but what the body of the unfortunate younz man found in a San Emidio canyon was that of Edwin Otto Hahn, the rising young lawyer of this City. He resided with his parents at 2787 California street, and occupied an office with Bernard McKenney at 522 Montgomery street. Carl O. Hahn, his father, who is a furnishing-goods dealer at 233 Kearny street, stated that on Friday, October 2, the young man went by steamer to San Luis Obispo to attend to a matter involy- ing the title of a large tract of land some- where in the eastern part of that count: or the western part of Kern County. week ago he received a letter from his son stating that his visit to San Luis Obispo had been very satisfactory,and that he was intending to visit the land in question and had passed through Santa Marguerita and Simmler’s place. W The land he said was still farther east, and he expected to meet people who would guide him to the Plnce he was in search of. That wasthe last heard of him, and his family has been anxiously await- ing a second letter. He was expected home to-morrow. As may be expected, the family was montes. Miss Kate Nealon and Miss Kate Murphy are in charge of the postottice.

SUIRES OF LINES LOST [Continued from First Page.} washed away and great damage done to the San Tomas tunmel at Cande!aria. D. M. Burns & Co. are considered to be the heaviest losers at San Vicente and San Dimas. They also lose heavily at Cande- laria. Mining operations, of course, were entirely suspended. Z The losses in mining and agriculture between Elota and Centa are .estimated at $200,000, but the loss of life was small. At San Augustin, on the San Ignscio River, one body was found and at Hu- maya two more bodies. Three children were found at Lacienaga, where they had been washed from above. At Ixpalino ten houses and all the cattle and horses be- longing to the San Vicente Mining Com- pany were lost. At the same place the houses and stores of Donemilio Verdugo ana H. M. Edina were a complete loss, in- cluding two retorts full of silver amal- gam. Francisco Beceda, Jesus Ruiz and two laborers were drowned. Four peons were drowned at Zapotito. Miguel Rodriguez of Piaxtla lost his wife and two children. The San Ignacio River at its height dragged the family in. He and his wife tried to save their four chil- dren. He reached land with two and saw his wife and the other two children drowned. At Mazatlan the seas ran over the jetty of Olas Altas. The waters of the bay reached as far in as Plaza Machado. The Mexican schooner Occidental is nowon shore at that port. The Arizona Railroad, between Guaymas and Nogales, was washed out in places and communication shut off. The Orizaba ran up to Guaymas and La Paz and back to Mazatlan and communi- cations were so limited that the only news obtainable from the devastated districts was from messengers who brought bullion from the San Jose de Gracia, San Dimas, Candelaria and otber mines. They all re- port the loss of life as heavy in the aggre- gate and the suffering of those surviving as extreme. Crops along the rivers were entirely destroyed, granaries and stores washed away and communication stopped 50 that the supplies cannot reach the re- mote districts for a long time. Courters were sent from the mining camps and river points along the San Ignacio and Santa Polonia rivers to Culia- can and word was thus sent to the City of Mexico. Relief expeditions were promised, but so far as ascertainable they are piti- fully inadequate. Unless prompt relief is afforded there will be many deaths from starvation. _ e Angry Riverside Citizens, RIVERSIDE, CAL, Oct. 14.—The people of this city do not take kindly tothe action of Governor Budd in interfering with the sentence of death pronounced against John and Cesar Cummings, who murdered T. C. Narramore a year ago in this county. Citizens here are indignant that the Governor s.onld commute the sentences, and a call for a public meeting to be held to-morrow to protest against | the executive’s act has been issued.

FRESNO, Can, Oct. 14—What may prove to be the most sensational civil ac- tion in the history of Fresno County was instituted to-day in the Superior Court. Samuel Jackson, the well-known attorney, is accused by Rebecca A. Rawlins of hav- ing misappropriated many thousands of dollars. In her complaint Mrs. Rawling asserts that during the month of August, 1891, she entered into an agreement with Jack- son, under the terms of which he was to invest certain sums of money for her. In all $3500 passed through Mr. Jack- son’s hands, it is alleged, and only a small portion of this sum has been ac- counted for. Saran F. Jackson, wife of Jackson, has been made a co-defendant in the action. It is charged that much of the money allezed to have been freudulently ob- tained by Jackson was, by devious means, transferred to the possession of his wife. It is furthe: alleged that much interest money paid 1o Jwekson has been by him diverted from its proper channel. H. H. Welsh_is the plaintiff’s attorney. The case will be bitterly contested. e LS RAISING THE UMATILLA. Damages to Vessel and Cargo Will Come Within $100,000. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasa., Oct. 14— Unless all the plans fail, the steamship Umatilla will be floated from its sandy bed near Wilsons Point and brought to Port Townsend to-morrow by noon. All the big pumps are now in place for the final effort which will be made to-morrow morning. Over 100,000 tons of water was discharged from the leaking vessel in eight hours yesterday, so it will no doubt be pumped out suceessfully with all pumps running. The Umatilla will be docked at Quarter- master Harbor for repairs. SEATTLE, WasH., Oct. 14 — Local Agent Trowbridge of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, who has just re- turned from the scene of the Umatilla dis- aster, estimates that the damage to the vesse! aud cargo will come within $100,000. T OREGON'S WARRING STOCKMEN. Bundreds of Sheop Wontenly Killed by Cattle MITCHELL, O=., Oct. 14.-More out- lawry is reported from the ranges as a result of the quarrel between sheepmen and cattlemen. Some sheep -from the Mitclell country moved on_to territory which the cattlemen say shall not be in- vaded. Fourtsen men visited the tres- passing band of sheep and one of the|of party, who was masked, relieved a herder of his gun and gave him some pointers as to the inadvisability of his remaining in that country if he placed any valua- tion on his life. The whole party then fired into the band of sheep, killing and wounding from 200 to 250 head. They burned the camp outfit and departed, promising to return if the sheep were found in that locality again. L o PORTLAND’S SENSATION. Woman of a Good Social Position Ar- rested for Alleged Pocket- Picking. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 14.—Mrs, Nellie C. Jones, occupying a good social position here, is under arrest for alleged pocket- picking at the exposition last night. For some time pickpockets have had a good harvest in the exposition building, and last night the wife of Superintendent George W. Baker lent herseif as a decoy. In the pocket of her jacket she carried a stuffed purse, projecting almost two-thirds above the edge. An ex-detective who ar- rested Mrs. Jones declares he saw ner take the purse and drop iton the floor, but the part of the building where Mrs. Jones is alleged to have committed the theft was very much crowded, and it is quite pos- sible that the pocket-book might have been jostied out of the decoy’s pocket by the packed, surging mass. Mrs. Joues is a fine-appearing, well-man- nered and intelligent woman. Before her release on bail this evening, she said: ““This is simply terrible. Idid not realize my position in the excitement of the mo- ment following my arrest. But duaring the night, when I awoke, the horror of the cbarge against me presented itself. Par- ticularly tnis is so when I realize that 1 am perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing. ‘While I do not wish any one any harm,”’ she said in conclusion, *‘yet I sincerely hope that the persons having picked pock- ets at the exposition may be arrested. The crimes can easily be proven against them, while I shall be establish my inno- cence.” MRS, BOOTH AT STANFORD The Commander of the Volun- teers Talks to Students and Faculty. Explains the Necessity of a Separa- tion From the Old Salva- tion Army. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaAL., Oct. 14.—Mrs. Maud Baliington-Booth lectured here this afternoon to a larze audience of students and faculty members. The chapel was crowded long befors the lec- ture hour, and when Dr. Jordan stepped forward to introduce the speaker there was not even room for standing, every available vantage point being taken. Mrs. Booth’s discourse was delivered in that sincere, ringing style which has made ber fame as a speaker so great. Mrs. Booth said that she came to address those presant as the representative of an organi- zation that believed in practical work rather than in talk. “Our movement,” said she, ‘is very young as yet, but with the love of God, by whom it is inspired, it will grow in size, strength and usefnlness. We may be de- rided, contemned and criticized at first, but, looking to the power that guides the movement and not the movement itself, we know that victory is assured.” Referring to the separation of the Volun- teers from the regular Salvation Army Mrs. Booth said: “We came 1o find from constant relation ana work with the peo- le of this land that we were broadened y its democratic character. We loved the land and the people and we found that ‘'we could - better serve those we wished to reach by changes from the regular order; but it was necessary to send miles away across the ocean to those who didn’t understand the conditions and needs and requirements for permission to make these changes. And then the answers would come back. ‘No, you can’t do it. We don’t do it that way here and you mustn’t there.” “We came to feel like throwing these answers into the ocean as the tea had gone into Boston harbor before it. We came to feel that this was too broad, too varied a land to have its policy outlined 3000 miles away. So we forgged the Volunteers of America. Webegananew, independent of all churches and every church, to do that work which they couldn’t do or were not doing. We gave up to the old order everything we possessed and started out with just $100 of borrowed money. We did not endeavor to gain by per- suasion a single adherent from the Salvation Army, for we desired only such as came to our standard volun- tarily. We desired no mushroom growth that flourishes in a night and dies in the day. Now we have over 400 commissioned officers and 416 commissioned posts, be- sides great offices in New York and our own printing establishment. Our mission is the mission of hope and we pray God that he may bless it and prevent it from falling into any rut that would curtail its usefulness.” 5 PETALUMA CONVENTION, Officers Elected by the Women’s State Christian Temperance Unton.

DELAY MEANS IMPRISONMENT, Predicament of Llewellyn Williams’ Heiress and Her Husband and Son. SACRAMENTO, Car., Oct. 14.—The fol- lowing cablegram was received by Gove ernor Budd this afternoon : CANNES, France, Oct. 14, 1896. To Bovernor Budd, Sacramento. Cal.: Find C. W. Clarke, Wife, boy and self starving. Come pel him to cable me $1000 immediately. De- lay means prison. HEREWARD HOYTE. The foregoing message is from the huse band of the former Sacramentan, Mrs. Lucy Williams Auzerais-Hoyte, who at the present time is evidently in serious financial distress in the sunny South of France, Mrs. Hoyte was the adopted daughter of thelate Llewellyn Williams of Sacramento, who bequeathed to her something like $175,000, which she proceeded to ‘‘blow in” in unprofitable theatrical ventures. About $100,000 was also left to her young son, tor whom C. W. Clarke, the wealthy stockman of Bacramento, is guardian. The funds of the young son are in the handa of trustees, and as Clarke is absent from the city it is impossible to ascertain whether he will consent to accede to this demand or not. At all events it in no way concerns the executive head of the State, and as far as can be learned the Governor will take no official notice of the demand other than to place the cablegram in the hands of the attorney for Mr. Clarke. NEW WHALCOM AFFRAY. Mayor Demattos and Citizen Dibble Fight tn Public NEW WHATCOM, Wasm, Oct. 14.— James P. Demattos, Mayor of New What- com and silver candidate for the Legisla- ture on the Populist ticket, and Carmi Dibble, a prominent and well-to-do New Whatcom citizen, had 2n encounter near the ‘Bellingham Bay and Columbia depot yesterday afternoon, as a result of long- standing il feeling, intensified on Dibble’s art by the recent reversal by the Supreme %nnn of the decision of the Superior Court of Whatcom County in the Demattos- Jordan case. There were very few wit- nesses to the fight, and accounts vary as to which was the aggressor. Demattos broke his cane over Dibble’s head, cutting a long gash, which bled pro- fusely. Dibble then wrenched the cane from Demattos and thrashed him badly, so that he is still confined to his room. NEW TO-DAY.
