- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1896. 9 VENGEFUL MEN OF RANDSBURG Officers Save John Buster and His Son From Lynching, Miners Had Resolved to Mete Justice for the Taking of Human -Life, THWARTED BY LAW’S MINIONS The Two Men Hurried to Mojave's Jai —Details of Thursday’s Fight. BAKERSFIELD, CaL., Oct. 30.—John Buster Sr. and John Buster Jr., two of the principals in the shooting affray yester- day morning- at Randsburg, the mining town on the Mojave Desert, were loaged in jail at Mojave to-night. They were hurried out of Randsburg by officers to prevent a lynching, the miners at the camp having recently agreed to hang the next man who shot a fellow human, it be- ing hoped by the hardy toilers that by making an example of some one they would check lawlessness at the aesert mines. From later and more complete details of the affray it appears that if the Busters were not the aggressors, they were at least guilty of attacking a man whoa few minutes before had ‘‘the drop” on them and spared them Thompson's saloon, in which the shoot- ing took place, is a frame and canvas structure on Jerusalem Flat, at the junc- tion® of Fiddlers’ Gulch and Randsburg road. George Wooster was in the place playing poker with John Buster Sr. Bus- ter bad'been in camp some time, and a few days ago was joined by his son, John Buster Jr., who came from San Pedro. Wooster accused the oid man of cheating by the aid of his son. Young Biister at once drew a knife and started for Wooster. The Iattér:stepped back, and the bar- keeper, a youth.named Fesler, passed him a Winchester rifie which had been stand- ing vehind the bar. Quick as a flash Wooster leveled it at Buster and shouted: “Throw-up your hands, or I'Il blow your head off!”’ Up went Buster’s hands and down went the knife on the floor. The old man picked it up, but as he made no attempt to use.it Wooster gave ti:e rifi: back to thebarkeeper and went out. In a short ime be returned and immediatety on en- ng the saloon he “was attacked by the usters. The younger man got Wooster up against the wall and held his arms to his sides while the old man stabbed him in- the -thigh™ and- back, inflicting bad wounds: The ac confused. t of the affray now grows A rifle wasseen in Wooster's hands and aiterward in young Buster’s, and then the shooting began. Bartender Fesler got gut a-six-shooter and _joined in. Quite a number of shots were fired and the Busters ran out of the saloon. When the fight was over it was found that a man lay in the road .some 200 or 300 feet away. He was Frank Ault, who had recently come -t0 Randsburg with his stepfather, James Stewart of Visalia, George Stewart, “editor of the Visalia Delta. Ault had not been in the saloon at all and was going tp the road to look after his team when he met his death. An examination of the body showed that he had been shot in the back, the bullet pass- ing completely through the abdomen. ‘After passing through the body the bullet went over 100 feet and struck a post in a blacksmith-shop. Ault lived . for. some time after bein shot. Deputy Sheriff J. M. Crawiord and Constable Claude Bohannon were asleep at the time of the affray, but heard the shots and at once hastened to the scene. The two Busters weré put under frrest, as was young Fesler, who, it is said, eon- fessed that he did some of the shooting, but-that he was trying to protect Wooster from young Buster, who was firipg his rifle promiscuously. It was found that a bullet had passed through the younger Buster’s ear, but neither of the men was ctherwise injured. Fearing the result should the prisoners be kept in camp until the tragedy became known, after the miners’ .decision to lynch the next person who shot any one, 2 team was at once procured and as soon as possible Crawford and Bohannon start- ed with the Busters for Mojave. The rage of the miners was great when they learned that Ault had been killed and his sup- posed slayers were out of their grasp. SLOOP BIEDIE MISSING. Has Undoubtedly Gone fo the Bottom With Her Passengers. TACOMA, Wasa., Oct. 30.—The last issue of the Alaska-Mining Record, which was received to-day, says: The sloop Birdie, of which Dr. Gardner, formerly of Juneau and well known in southeastern Alaska, is owner and master, sailed ‘from Cooks Ilunlet for Juneau early in July, with two or three passengers. Nothing has since been seen or heard of the sloop. It was Gardner’s intention to at once return to the inlet. The boat was adouble-ended craft of three or four tons burdeh, and there is little doubt that she has gone to the bottom. The names of ner passengersare unknown at Juneau. e SUICIDE AT OAK FLAT. Witliam H. Martin Ends His Life With a Rifle Ball, WEAVERVILLE, CAL., Oct. 30.—Wil- liam H. Martin committed suicide yester- day at Oak Flat, on Stuarts Fork, near the Brittan cabin, by shooting himself in the mouth with a 44-caliber Winchester. Martin was a witness in Redding ona mineral land case on October 14, and there seems to be some suspicion that he has met with foul play. Latterly he seemed to have been depressed about'the testi- mony he gave in reference to the case. The Coroner and posse started on horse- back for the scene of the tragedy to-night. 3 A Protestant Orphan Asylum Legacy. REDWOOD CITY, Caw., Oct, 30.—The will of James Quentin, who died at San* Gregorio in this county the 20th inst. was filed last evening in the clerk’s office. ‘After the payment of certain bequesis to iriends the residue of the property, va- riously estimated at $40,000 to over $100,000, is to be divided among the Protestant or- phan asylams of Sacramento and San Francisco. Deceased was an old resident of this county. He left no known heirs. e Officers Elected at Petaluma.

Valuable Mining Froperties Being Opened Up .in the Vicinity of Vancouver and Victoria VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 30.—The British Columbia mining fever, which started in Eastern Canada, has swept over the mountains and broken out in this province. When the large cities in the East wers nervously exited over the reporis circu- loted broadcast of rich strikes in the British Columbia mines, the people of the | province were not at all agitated, and for over a year there was not the slightest evidence of a boom. But the excitement in tne East, coupled with the.continued arrival of mining experts sent here by English and American syndicates, has at length aroused the phlegmatic British Columbians to a proper realization of the situation. At present the greatest excitement pre- vails in Vancouver and Victoria, owing to the splendid strikes that have been made within a few miles of this city. The Golden Cache mines—which average $500 orover to the ton, with a& million tons practically in sight and a probability of an unlimited quantity uncovered—are about 200 miles frrm Vancouver or Cayuse Creek. They are being developed, also the Tascado Island mines, some forty miles from Vancouver, specimens frem which run thousands of dollass to the ton i free milling goid, which can be dug out with a penknife. The Charm Mming Company’s claims are on Philips Arm, a short distance from this city, on which a large gang of men atwork and which shows good indications and actual results that the stock has doubled during the past week. The Philips Arm quartz claim, near by, is a shipper at a big profit, and numerous excellent properties at Hour Sound, a few miles distant, and at Pitt Lake, some twelve miles distant, are sufficient reasons for the present to warrant citizens of the coast towns in declaring that the sea- board mines, and those other than are known as inland properties, will receive the greatest prominence of any in the provinee within a very short time.

COQUILLE RIVER FIGHT, Salmon Cannery Manager Resists Two Masked Hobbers. MARSHFIELD, Or, Oct. 30.—A. H. Simmons, manager of the Parkersburg salmon cannery on the Coquille River, was held up in his office last night by two masked men, who demanded that he open the safe. Simmons refused and the rob- | bers began an assault upon him with their revolvers. They attacked him with such fury that he changed his mind, but the desperadoes did not hear him say that he would open the safe. During the scuffle Simmons caught hold of the mask of one of the robbers and tore it from his face, se that he recognized nim. This frightenec the robbers away. Simmons has several flesh wourds on his head and is under a doctor’s .care. ‘Who the robber whom he recognized. is, he will not disclose. No arrests have been made. —_——— SAN JOSE LIBEL SUIT EMDED.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Caw., Oct. 30.—Stanford musical organizations com- manded the attention of the student body this afternoon. At the last meeting of the executive committee constitutions of the variotis musical clubs were submitted. These constitutions practically removed the glee, mandolin and banjo clubs from general student control. Action on the matter was deferred until the next meet~ ing of the committee. This proved un- | satisfactory to the clubs concerned, and a | student body meeting was called. After the usual preliminaries the ques- tion was resoivad to this: Whetber or not action shouid be taken on the proposéd changes until after the student body en- | tertainment Thanksgiving night. The motion that action be deferred pre- vailed after an hour of discussion. Zion 94 and Wilson '96 spoke for the ‘clubs. Bell '97, O'Ncal '97 and Brown '97 spoke for a delay in action, urgii:g that as | arrangements had been made for the ap-. pearance of these clubs on Thanksgiving night the student body should protect itself by postponing legislation until after the entertainment. LOS ANGELES PRIZEFIGHT. Young Dempsey and Jack Burkhardt Quit With Honors Easy. 1.0S ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 30.—A large crowd saw the boxing exhibition before the Los Angeles Athletic Club to-night. The principal event was a fiiteen-rouad go | between Young Dempsey (Jack Watson) and Jack Burkbardt, both of this city. H ‘The men weighed 135 pounds each and were well matched, putting up the best fight ever seen at the clab. ;. Dempsey, who was the cleverer of th two, got his man when he led and had the vetter of the mix-up generally. He was remarkably’quick on his feet and had no difficulty in escaping from a corner, Burkhardt vainly poking the atmosphere, While Burkhardt was deficient in science he made up for this in strength and grit, and kept at bis opponent all the time following him about the ring and doing a big part of the leading. He took plenty of punishment. Burkhardt gave Dempsey a lively brush in the fifteenth rourd, but the latter was too clever and kept out of *he otier's reach. The fizht was exiended t. eighteen rounds, the last especially being fast and furjous, but the mill resuited in a draw. LI e On Eastern Tracks.

ASTORIA, Or., Oct. 30.—An unusually heavy gale outside has prevented the steamer Columbia from sailing to-day. From present appearances it wilf be able to start for San Francisco in the morning. THE ARAGO INQUIRY It I8 Now Claimed That the Wreck ‘Was Caused by Adverse = Currents, Supervising Inspector Bermingham yes- terday instituted an inquiry into the causes which brought about tne wreck of the steamer Arago October 20, whereby fourteen lives were lost. Inspector Bolles conducted the investigation, and as he was new to such proceedings only four witnesses were examined, further inquiry going over until Monday. From the evidence introduced it appears that the wreck was caused by an adverse and hitherto unknown current, combined with a heavy sea and a dense 1og. The first officer, A. G. Banke, swore the weather was hazy and that the engines were stopped to watch a “smooth cuance’’ to cross the bar. Just before the vessel struck he noticed a current settling to the northward. The witness also swore that no soundings were made and that the vessel sank within ten minutes after she struck. o Peter Borgman, who was at the wheel, said that when opposite tlie jetty two or three big seas came which threw the Arago completely off her course. He turned the wheel to the starboard, but the vessel did not promptly respond. She then began to come back, finally striking her stern. F. Grogan, first assistant en- gineer, swore substantially to the facts above recorded, dwelling particularly on the adverse currents. Probably the most important evidence of the day was found in an affidavit made by the life-saving crew. Itreads as fellows: EMPIRE CITY, Or., Oct. 25, 1896. In connection with the recent wreck of the steamer Arago ou October 20, 1896, on the Government jetty on the north /side of Coos Bay, we, the undersigned members of the United States life-saving crew of Coos Bay, who manned tho lifeboat on that morning, wish to state that we found the current in that locality of the jetty and wreck running strong d in an opposite direction to what the current usually runs or has run in that locality at that stage of the flood tide.

Those Whom Mr. Sutro Would Like to - See in Office. 3 The following letter and list are self- explanatory:* Fellow - citizens: Election day has arrived. Every political party, faction and clique has made up itsticket, and the result is a mass of names utterly embarrassing to the confused voters. 2 In dismay well may they ask, “For whom' shall we vote ?”” Without a most elaborate and extended investigation it seems inipossi- ble to meke & proper selection, and so, blindly, from habit, they may vote a party ticket and thus‘urry into office the very men they do not want. Out of the tickets on file® in ' the Registrar’s office I had at firstintended to choose an entire ticket, but ultimately, for sufficient reason, conecluded to confine the selection to the Board of Supervisors. The question of the good government of the City is not political; it is local and appeals to allindependently of any National considera- tion. Under our present laws the Supervisors are the ruling power and direct practically all the affairs of the City. They settle tue basis of taxation, they look after the disiribution of all the money ana have the entire control of finance. Their right selection is therefore of the utmost importance. & In choosing a board I bave, of course, to'take the material at my command, and in offering the names on this list I cannot persovally uarantee the outcome, though inseveral cases know personally and in the others have been assured by competent men that the members chosen are the best that could have been se- lected. As regards tbe charter, I have finally con- cluded to oppose it. Under it, practically, the whole power of the City isinvested in the Mayor. If the “bosses’” and the corporations have heretofore managed our elections and been generally able to control the selection of the Supervisors, they Wwill, in_my opinion, when it suits their purpose have the like {mwer to choose the Mayor, and for that reason donot think it the part of wisdom to vote now for a new charter. ‘We have the power of selection. Let us try & good board, such as is supposed 1o be contained in the list hereto appended. If they prove really good the Mayor will be of mino- consequence; if they prove derelict in their duty there wil! then be time enough to frame a new charter that will give the Mavor greater but not such arbitrary power. Re- spectfully submitted, ADOLPH SUTRO. The following are the Mayor's selec- tions: SUPERVISORS. First Ward, Lawrence Devany, voting num- ber 111; Sctond Ward, Charles Zeile, 124; Third Ward, Jonn L. Hanly, 129; Fourtn Ward, William H. Phelps, 132; Fifth Ward, Washington Dodge, 138: Sixtu Ward, John Lackman, 145; Seventn Ward, T. A.

Alameda Republicans Close Their Cam- paign With Enthusi- asm. ALAMEDA, CAL, Oct. 30.—The Republican campaign was closed in this city to-night wita & monster street parade and speeches in the armory. The parade wasa great success. The drilling of the Plumed Knights, Young Men's Llub and the Alameda club was heartily cheered, The noite upon the street was deaf- ening at times. E At the hall E. A. Taylor called the enthusi. astic audience to order and introduced George H. Payne as the chairman of the evening. He m turn introduced Judge A. L. Frick as the speaker of the evening.. Mr. Frick took up the silver arguments of the Popocrats, and one by one answered them in a.manner-highly satisfactory to his hearers. He closed by paying a glowing tribute to the county candidates, and urged his audi- dience fo stand by them at the polls on Tues- day. He made a personal appeal for Con- eressman Hilborp, who beat him at the pri- maries last spring. He was wildly applauded at the mention of Hilborn’s name. Hon. James A. Waymire, candidate for the Legislature from this district, urged his hear- ers not to be fooled by the plea for free silver as likfx!ey were four years ago on the cry of free tariff. Hon. 8. G. Hilborn was greeted with three rousing cheers as he appeared. He prophe- sied a Republican victory next Tuesday and declared that it would set the wheels of pros- perity whirring for the next thirty years. ILLINOIS SAFE. Senator S. M. Cullem Has No Doubt That His State Will Go for. McKinley. The following letter is self-explanatory: CHICAGO, 111, Oct. 25, 1896. Hon. P. L. Koscialowski, San_Francisco, Cal.— My DEAR SIR AND FRIEND: Your favor of the 19th inst. has been received and noted. 1 am pleased to hear that Caiifornia will most surely give its electoral vote to -Major Mc- Kinley, our candidate for President of the United States. There is aot the slightest question 1n my mind .but that IL!inois will give & very large® majority for McKinley and for thé whole Repubiican ticket, including our candidate, for Governor, which will resuit in the defeat of John P. Altgeld, the present oecupant of that office. I nave no doubt whatever but that McKinley will be elected President of the United States by an overwhelming majority ; neither do I have any doubt about the result as to the House of Rep- resentatives. If we shall be able to control the Senate, we will have the administration and a Congress in harmony with it, which will insure the return of confidence and which will result in & revival of business; the hard times of the last.three and a half years will Wu away and good times will eome in. ishing you good hcalth, I &m, as ever. very .

THE CALL recently published a copy of a circular letter sent out to Postmasters in California by Chairman Alford of the Democratic Campaign Committee. Some of the persons have replied and some have ignored the communication altogether. In the majority of cases it is believed that the boy manager of the boy orator’s campaign has not derived much.aid and comfort from the answers returned. The Redding Free Press of ihe 27th inst. pub- lishes the following epistle from Asa T. Fitzpatrick,a Postmaster in Shasta County, repudiating the Democracy of the Bryan brand, and it is sure that this letter ex- presses the sentiments of a great many Democrats throughout the country: UNITED STATES POSTOFFICE, BUBNEY, SHAS1A COUNTY, CAL;; October 20, 1896. Hon. William H. Alford, Chairman Democratic Siate Central Committec—DEAR SIR: Yours of the 15th inst., calling on me fora contribution to your campaign iund of 3 per centof my salary as Posumaster, received. With this ap- plication you say “Do not force us to the con- clusion by your silence that you consider the proposition unfavorably, bui let us hear from you at once,” and I take the earliest oppor- tunity of settiug your mind at rest on the subject. I am not in sympathy with the principles romulgated by the Chicago convention. I lieve that “ihe laborer is worthy of his hire” in honest dollars, and that he will not receive them if aemagogues succeed in foisting upon this country an unstable currency by the frce and unlimited coinage of silver. In this con- nection I will say that gny bread and butter depends more on the sale of products, raised by my labor from the soil of Burney Valley, than it does from the “canceilations” of Bur- ney Postotfice, and when I sell those products Iwant to receive tpny for them in a money the fluctuations of which Iwill not have to “cipher ont” in order to ascertain its yalue. Ihave been taught to regard the Supreme thnu of the United States as the bulwark and safeguard of our form of Government, and I cannot countenance the threat to reconstruct it in the interest of enarchy. That I may not be considered inconsistent or ungrateful to the party that has honored me I beg to remind you that I hold my com- mission from a Democratic administration which represents the true principles of Democracy and has nothing in common with and is uncompromisingly opposed to the ruinous principies to which you ask me to subscribe. 3 Hoping that- the un-American and unholy doctrines which you are adyvocating will be put so soundly to sleep on the 3d day of No- vember that even the tooting of Gabriel's horn on the morning of the resarrection will not awaken them, I am very respectfully yours, AsA T. FITZPATRICK, Postmaster. LIQUOR MEN ASTIR. Out With a Ticket—Arranging for a Picnic Sunday.

He has been a resident of Yamhill County ever since, serving many years as County Commissioner, and has al- ‘ways been a reliable publie servant. He is now 70 years old. The exposure and hard work incident to pioneer iife has most seriously affected Mr. Brutscher’s health. Of late years he has suffered with rheumatism, luag trouble, constipation and piles, a general run down condition of the system and loss of memory. After many physicians had failed to render him any assistance he began on Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills with the result, as he says, they have done him more good than all other remedies combined—his system is built up, rheumatism gone, bowels regular, and he feels brighter and younger by several years; his memory is restored, has no trouble to speak names readily, and this of itself is a great satisfaction to him. He says he can recommend them to any one similarly afflicted, believing they will be greatly benefited by their use. John D. Boatman, & farmer living one mile from Newberg, is a veteran of the late war. He enlisted for three years and after his dis- charge at the expiration of that time re- enlisted and served to the end of tlie war. He was a member of ‘the Fourteenth Regiment Cavalry, Kansas Volunteers, and is now a aembgr of Kilpatrick Post, G. A. R, at New- rg, Or. In an interview Mr. Boatman said he had kidney trouble from the time of coming out of the army. Later he had rheumatism, nervous trouble and general debility. Has been treated for a long time by two asgood phy- sicians there are in Yamhill County, all without avail. His money was all spent, his time was gone and he was in a worse condi- tion than before. - He hed heard of a remarkable cure in this county by the use of Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, 80 two years ago bought two boxes of the pills and began using them ac- cording to the directions. He was soon con- vinced that he had struck the proper remedy. ‘He was soon free from pain, nerves steady and. felt so well that after he had taken the pills for & time he thought himself cured per- manently. But from exposure and hara work he found that he had discontinued their use 100 soon, so he bought more, took them and now considers himself well and is able to do any farmwork required. He does not take any of the pills now, but keeps a box of them in the house all the time, nowever, and says he will never be without them if he has tosell a horse to get the money with which to buy them. John E. Smith, & respectable citizen of New- berg and a prominent member of the Metho- dist church, who came to Oregon irom the Mississippi Valley some years ago, has been aflicted nearly all his life with liver and nervous troubles, neuralgia, etc. He has taken great quantities of medicine with but little effect. Some tiwe ago he bought some of the Pink Pills and now says he has received more real benefit from them than all other medi- cine he has ever taken. These testimonials are given voluntarily by conservative and truthful men, each one say- ing that he would not misreprésent the facts nor would he try to deceive any one, but they have simply given the result of their own ex- periment with the pills, with which they are well satisfied. J. C. SAWYER, Postmaster, Newberg, Oregon. This is to certify that Iam acquainted with the persons ng the above testimonials and that they ate representative and reiiaple citizens of this community, and knowing nothing to the contrary believe their state- meunts made herein to be true. A. M. HADLEY, Reporter, Newberg, Or. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pilis contain, in a con- densed form, all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and re- store shattered nerves.
