Gains Access to Their Rooms at Night and Fires Upon Them. ENDS HIS OWN CAREER IN A NEARBY BARN. Failure of His Suit for the Girl's Hand Had Driven Him to Madness. FRESNO, Car., April :8.~Mad with an unrequited love James Brooks sought in 2 most tragic manner the life of pretty Neoma Quslls at her bome, sixteen miles east of this city last night. lady’s mother appearing upon the scene the desperste man tried to murder her also. After he had shot and wounded the girl he adored Brooks' nerve gave way, and in response to her appeals he spared her, although he was hoiding a hatchet over her head ready to to strike a fatal blow. But, in accordance with the plan he had probably mapped out, the wretch ran toabarn about three-quarters of a mile distant and ended his own existence. The hay took fi the gun with which he shot himself, and to-day his charred remains were found in the ruins of the building. Brooks’ purpose was to cnact a tragedy which would have been one of the most awful ever perpetrated in the history of the State. It was about 2 o’clock in the morning when be stole into the home of the Qualls, where mother and daughter were sleeping. He hiad been at the house the evening before and ascertained that Mr. Qualls and his two grown sons were away 1n the mountains and that the ladies were at home alone and without protection. Going to their bedroom doots, neshot at them with a shotgun as they sprang, startled, from their beds. Hisaim was poor and he Lit them in the arms, Miss Qualls’ injury is not serious, but her mother’s condition is dangerous because of loss of blood. The cause of Brooky' desperate act was an insane love he possessed for the young lady, who isa very handsome blonde of 19 years. e has worked as a laborer for the rast six years in the vicinity, and about two years ago he was employed at the Qualis ranch. It wus then that he formed an ardent love for the girl. She rejected all his proffered attentions. Only once did she ever accept an invita- tion to go riding with him. -Learning what the man’s intentions were she. re. fused after that to have anything to do with bim. He remained at the ranch for several montlis, but his persistent efforts to gain the friendship of the girl finally became so unbearable that ber father dis- | charged him. Brooks refused (o leave, and for three or four days he stayed around the ranca without food. He wou'd often come up and sit on the rear porch of the house and salk for hoursat a time. Finally, after the man had refused to heed the repeated orders to feave, David Qualls, the girl's father, attempted to eject bim forcibly. Brooks resisted and made a threat that be would kill the whole family, The authorities were then ap- pealed to ana the laborer was sent to_jail toserve & senteace ior making the dire threat., This had not the effect of dampening | the mad love of the unfortunate man. As s0on as he was released from jail he re- turned to the community and went to work on a ranch. Off and on he wouid offer to pay attention to the young lady, but she would bave nothing to do with bim. 1t was not until last evening that Brooks v further demonstration. About he drove up to the home of Tieing his horse into the house, 1 and her mother were at itchen. Being alone at at the barn, he walked wh g work in the home they became somewhat alarmed at his appearance. They invited him to have supper, but he refused, sayirg that he had already eaten. A CALL representative to-day visited the scene of Brooks’ rash attempts, and Miss Qualls made the following statement, she still being up, although her wound pained Ler considerably: “While we were ali in the kitchen Mr. ssrooks asked me to go riding with him, I told him I could not do so, but he 1n- sisted in & coaxing manner. I positively Tefused, and aiter we had been talking back and forth several minuies mother said we had better go into the siting. | room. Tnen Mr. Brooks said he wouid go home, and started out of the house. In the yard he met my little brother, to whom he remarked, ‘I guess =he'll talk to me the next time I come.” While he wa- in_the Kkitchen taiking with us mother said that she expected 10 take a trip Kast this summer, and Mr. Brooks mada the peculiar remark that he did not think she would be able to go. “After the man left we were frightened. There was no one here other than mother and I and three children. Before retiring we fastened all the doors except the rear one, on which the lock was broken. We placed a chair against tnis and weighted it down. ‘‘At about 2 o’clock this morning I heard the rear door being pushed open, the bair making considerable noise'in scrap- ing on the floor. Then I heard some one enter. The door of my bedroom was open 1o the sitting-room, mto which the man entered. We bad left a light burning in the situng-room, and when I arose in bed I saw Mr. Brooks standing in the door- way of my room. He had a lantern in his left hand and a shotgun in his right. Pausing a minute Le raised the gun and pointed it at we, and I began begging him not to shoot. He announced that he had come to kill me because I would not settle with him. 1 impiored him noc to kill me. “Mother, who was in the ad joining bed- room, heard us talking ana wasawakened. She recognized Mr. Brooks’ véice, and then she knew that our fears of the even- ing before were realized. She jumped from bed and I heard her screaming, ‘Oh| oh!" “Bhe then tried to get o:n of the win-ldhd in great agony, The young | from the discharge of | dow. It was fastened and she tried to break it. She broke the panes out with her han but the sash would not yield. Mr. Brooks then stepped to the door of her room, which was also open, and told her to come back. There being no way o get oul, she obeyed his command and ad- vanced toward him. When she was about three feet distant from bim be fired. The charge tore away the under portion of ber left forearm and a few scattering shot lodged in her breast. Sbe then ran past him and out the rear door, which was standing open as he had lett it. “The man had set his lantern on the floor, and after firing at mother reloaded thegun. Then he siepped to my bedroom door. 1 was still sitting up in the bed, screaming and not knowing what to do. He advanced a few steps toward me. ‘Say your prayers!’ he commanded. At the same time he raised the gun and dis- charged it ut me, the shot faking effect justabove my left wrist. Ifell over and iost_consciousness for u minute. “When I revived, Mr. Brooks was stand- ing over me, pointing the muzzle of the gun at me. 1 sprang from the bed, intend- {ing to make an attemp: to run away. He then changed the gun to his left hand, and with his right whipped out a batcbet. He stopped me and held the instrument over my head, with the stern injunction, ‘Don’t you run. “My memory is a blank after that until Mr. Brooks and I reached the yard together. How we got there, 1 do not know. The next thing I remember we were standing out near the rear porch. ‘I have burt vou, und I will be hanged for it,” I heard Mr. Brooks say. ‘Yes,’ I replied ‘let me go and get my arm pandaged.’ Then the man iaid his head on my shoul- der and cried, sobbing that he wus sorry that he had shot me. He kissed me, and said he couid not bear to see me go with Frank Hutchings. I said nothing, but only begged him to let me go. He finally reléased his bold of me and went to the | rear of the house. I saw noihing more of him. “I ran out to the gate and down the driveway to the public road. About 150 yards from the house I found mother lying at the side of the road, sobbing and crying. She had tried to get to some neighbors, but fell exhansted on the way. Istopped with her a moment and then ran to the place of William T. Burnett, a neighbor, screaming all the way. I called for help, and Mr. Burnett, Frank Hutch- ings and Elmer Smith, who were there, responded. Iran back to where mother The men arrived a few minutes later and on a sled conveyed us back here to the bouse. “This is an awful sffair, and I am not over the shock yet,” continued the young lady. *Icould not accept any of the at- tentions Mr. Brooks tried to pay me, ashe was very repulsive to me. I tried alwa; to treat hum kindly, but nothing furthe: The young lady told ber story very in- telligently. Sheis quite a beile in the |district in which she resides. She is | pretty, and very ladylike in her manners. When Mrs. Qualls ran past t'e mur- derous fiend and out of the house she | staried for Mr. Burnett’s house to get as- sistance. Her wound bled profusely, 2nd { she had proceeded only about half the distance o the place, when she fell ex- hausted. She managed to crawl to the side of the road, and remained there until found by her daughter. She is an eideriy | tady, and the excitement and the run- | ning also told severely upon her. | s supposed that Brooks took the trail leading through a grain field to a barn owned by Mr. Qualls, about three-quarters of a mile distant from the house. When the neizhbors had made Mrs. Qualls and Miss Qualls as comfortable as tuey could i the bedrooms where a few moments bafore they had gone through such an awrul experience they began look- |ing around for the would-be murdsrer. About a halt-hour later they saw the fire at the barn, and immediately came to the conclusion that Brooks had starteu it. Hutchings remained at the house, while the other two proceeded to the barn. They suspected that the desperate man’s remains might bein the ruins, but on ac- count of the heat could make noc investi- gation. They returned to the house, and with Hutchings began to make investigations with the aid of the lantern. Here they found evidence of another insane attem 't of Brooks to destroy the girl and her mother. The fiend had tried to set the house on fire directly under the window of Miss Qualis’ bedroom. He bad poured kero- sene on the boards and applied a match. The fire charred the wall over a space about a foot in diameter and also burned |a nhole through; but the biaze had died out, and it is supposed that after failing in 1his way to effect his evil work he entered the house for the more bold proceeding of shooting the women. This forenoon the charred remains of | Brooks were discovered in the ruins of the | barn. The shotgun was pointing upward | above the ashes, and what there was of the man was found at its side. His hatchet was also at his side, the handle having been burned out.. Coroner Long held an inquest to-day, and the jury arrived at the conclusion that Brooks nrst sbot himself and that the discharge ignited the hay where he had chosen to end his life. Dr. Jacobi of Centerville was called to attend the two injured women. He found Mrs. Qualls’ condition serious, she having lost a great deal of blood. The shot had carried away the fleshy part of her arm on one side. The doctor hopes for her re- covery, but has given orders that she be | closelv confined to her room. He dressed Miss Qualls’ wound with bandages, and it wiil heal in a few weeks. David Qualls and his family are pioneer residents of Fresno County. Miss Qualls was born on a ranch about a mile distant from their present home. The family is wall to do and well connected. Little has been learned as yet of James Brooks’ his- He was aiways considered a strange individual, being of a very suspicious dis- position. He was a native of Indiana and 30 years of age. It was not ascertained to- day where he procured the shotgun with which he tried to commit the two terrible murders and with which heended Lis own career. Messengers have been sent after Mr. Qualls and his sons, who are cncaged in planting corn at their foothiil ranch. SANTA BAKBAKA ACCIDENT, Tizner Badly Burned by an Explosion of Gas. SANTA BARBARA, Car, April 25— Rudolph Workurka, a tinner employed by Roeder & Ott, had a very narrow escape | from death this morning. He was clean- { ing a fire-pot, and in taking off the burner failed to turn off the air. The gascom- muricated with the flame of another pot standing close by. There was a flash, and ibe man appeared for an Instant to be on ire. With his clothes burning he picked up the flamine pot and ran into the open air 10 save the building. He was told to lay down and drop the pot, whicn he aid, and his feilow-empioyes covered him with dirt and extinguished the fire. Tice burns he recsived extended from his waist to bis tace, also covering his hands and arms. Itis believed his l1fe will be saved. AL iy San Bernardino Election Cont est. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., April 2. At the city election on April 12 returns from the Fourth Ward indicated the elec- tion of J. C. Wees (R.) over R. Pop- vett (F.) by & majority of two.

Impromptu Picnic at Menlo Park Concludes a Pleasant Outing. REDWOOD CITY, Car., April 23, —The Native Sons representing the order in Grand Parlor had an enjoyable outing this afternoon as a diversion from dry discussion on grievances and points of or- der. In buses, surreys. four-in-hands double rigs and single rigs the procession started from the Alnambra shortly after 1 o'clock. The column was headed by Ron- covieri’s band in a band - wagon. The fine residences of Menlo were seen, the grounds inspected and the occupants sa- luted with strains of music. In the quadrangle of Stanford Univer- sity, where the columz halted, the band played, and the students cheered and sought to “josh” Finley Cook of Berke- ley, who proved to be equal to the occa- sion. Another balt was made at the mu- seum of the university, and then the par proceeded to the Palo Alto stock- iarm, where Frank Covey, the superin- teudent, exhibited many of the horses of great renown. tion with a few remarks of tribute to the memory of Governor Stanford, which brought cheers from the Native Sons. Flambean, Advertiser, Dexter Prince, Pico, Beautiful Bells, Rosamond, Laura C. Lulu Wilkes and other horses of note were trotted out. Advertiser was men- tioned as the horse that Governor Stan- ford had been offered $150,000 for. A great send-off was given to Dexter Prince. Covey said the borse was owned by Adolph Spreckels, one of tle greatest Native Scns in the State, and the crowd cheered to the echo. When a vote of thanks was properly extended to Buperintendent Covey the procession, guided by ‘“Jack” Schroeder and George de Gots, made a dash for Kuck’s Grove, where the Menlo Park Par- lor had arranged to give its guests the glad hand and some sandwiches and liguid cheer. Grand President H. C. Gesford was met in the suburbs of the town by a commit- tee. He was then escorted to an old- fashioned rig drawn by a mule of & pre- vious decade and a horse of uncertain age. H. C. Hull gave to President Gesford the keys of the town. Gesford accepted the guft and became the possessor of the keys without a lawsuit to question his title thereto. The Menlo committee, consisting of M. E. Dovle, Frank Roach, Bert Clute, F. W. Kugler and D. E. 0'Keole, gave the Native Sons a great welcome, and cheer after cheer was eiven in the grove for Menlo Parlor No, 185. The grove and the avenues leading 10 the trees were tastefally deco- rated in honor of the Grand Parlor’s visit. The run home from Menlo Park to Red- wood was a e-for-all three-mile dash and many fine bursts of speed were made on the way, while the band played on. It is lucky that no vehicles were wrecked. The drivers of the four-in-hands were highly complimented for their skiil. The only mishap during the day was the smashing of a surrey wheel at the Stan- ford stockfarm. At the session of the Grand Parlor this afternoon a telegram from Grand Vice- President George D. Clark was read. He acnounced sickness asthe cause of non- attendance. A reso'vtion calling for an appropria- tion of $2500. to be invested in 2500 shares in Mission Parlor building, met with an adverse repert and the report was adopted. The sajary of the grand secretary was, by resolution, fixed at $2300 per annum. The committee on state of the order recognized the Sloat monument at Mon- terey in the following recommendation : We recommend that the request of the Sloat Mouument Association for tue Native Sons of the Go.den West to furnish a stone with suit. able inscription thereon to be placed in the Dbase of the Sloat monument, be complied with, and we further recommend that the in. coming board of grand trustees be instructed to furnish said stone. The report was adopted, The stirring State song, *“Hail Califor- nia,”’ composed by Josephine Gro, was by resolution referred to the ritual commit- tee, with a reccommendation that it be in- corporated in the rituelistic work of the order. James L. Gallagher moved that the ac- tion taken yesterday abolishing the office of second grand vice-president bs recon- sidered. On motion of James P. Dockery the whole subject matter was made a special order for 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. The election of officers of the Grand Parlor will take place to-morrow, and the chief interest to-night centered in the con- test of Frank L. Coombs of Napa and Judge Rust of Amador for grand orator. The friends of Coombs claim tnat he is steadily gaining. Judge Davis, who is conducting the campaign for Judge Rust, is as sanguine as ever that the Amudor orator will win the prize. The event of the Native Sons' celebra- tion in the estimation of the youth and beauty of this end of n Mateo County was the ball at the pavilion to-night. The interior of the structure was profusely but artistically dJecorated in pink, blue and soft tint=. Many representative society people were in attendance. The grand march at 9:30 o'clock was led by Grand President Henry C. Gesford of Napa and Miss Turner of Redwood City. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. James A. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. C. Josselyn, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Schroder, Mr. and Mrs. George Mrs, L. P. Behrns, Mr. and Mrs. William B. Law- rence, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Cooper, Mr,and Mrs. Cluness, Mr. and Mrs. J.

When the St. Louis came out Mr. McClure was trans- ferred 10 ber and later be went to the Montana. While on the latter steamer he was granted a few days leave of absence and while he was away the steamer turned over and sank alongside thedock. 1t was & common saying on the beach at the time that the “Montana went down out of grieving over the loss of Bili McClure, if even only for a few days.” The raising of the Montana occupied three months, and when the job was com- | vleted Mr. McClure made trip in her | and then joined the Alaska.

Arrives at Vancouver With Two Sick Chinamen on Board. Passengers and Crew Ordered Into Quarantine for Fourteen Days. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 28—The Canadian Pacific Reilway Company’s steamer Empress of China arrived in port yesterday floating an ominous yellow flag, as a signal that there was smallpox aboard.. In spite of this fact the steamer Maude, having on board the usual crowd of hotel runners, newspaper men and Government officials, put off to meet her. Dr. Watt, the Government Health Officer, mountea the deck of the big white. licer and motioned the crowd back. No one | but J. A. Fullerton, representing the Can- adian Pacific Railway, was allowed on board. Watt is a new appointee of the new Government, and he at once showed that he meant business by telephoning to Victoria that the crew, cabin passengers | and coolies must be kept at the quarantine station for fonrteen full days and comply with the law as far as fumigation, baths | and change of clothing is concerned, and any one coming in contact with tke steamer would also be detainea. This news caused great consternation on board, as more than 1000 passengers— some of them titled aristocrats, and proud—would have to be housed in small quarters, like stock in a pen, the accom- modations being inadequate at the sta- tion, while the big ship was fumigated from stem to stern. One dignitary, the Marquis of Bredalbain, an English Privy Councilor, is compelled to submit to the common fate with the motley crowd. All are victims of an accident, for in in- specting 700 Cninese who boarded the steamer in the Orient the doctors were most rigid 1 their examinations, but two succeeded in passing their prac- ticed eye—two in which the germs of dis- ease were lurking. The China is loaded to her fullest ca- pacity, and has on board 110 cabin pas- sengers, a crew of 200 and some 700 China- men—200 bound for Victoria and the rest for various destinations on the mainland. Dr. Watt states that the steamer ean- not vroceed to her distributing point 1n Tew is replaced by a fresh one, and even tken not until three days have elapsed. This is a serious problem for the Canadian Pa- cific Railway to solve.

MAE BSHOP SFARENELL The First Annual Music Festi- val Comes t> an End. An Undertaking That Loses Money, but Has Good Artistic Results. At the matinee of the California Music | Festival Association in Metropolitan Hall | Mme. Genevra Johnstone-Bishop proved | that she is as great a mistress of operatic | music as she is of oratorio, and thatasa | lyric singer the beauty and hightness of | her touch is marveious. | In the grand aria from “‘Der Freischutz” Mme. Bishop beautifully expressed the | various emotions which succeed each | other in the heroine’s mind—the hope, | the prayer and the expectation. Her other songs, being varied in character, | were equaily well rendered. PBach’s | “Evermore Lost to Me,”’ a toucning lament, was as sweet and sad as “La Zingara” was bright and dashing. | Bernbard Mollenhauer evoked warm ap- plause for his playing of Leon D. Saint Lubin’s violin fantasia in *Lucia Di Lam- mermoor,”” which was extremely well ren- | dered. Miss Cook,” who accompanfed Mme. Bishop, played several pianoforte solos charmingly. | The Etude by Rubinstein and Liszt's | Ra:sifxml were especially brilliant. Ho- | mer Henley sang a_song composed by J. | H. Howe, “The Sea,” a bri d bree little _composition, _and Not His | Word” (irom the “Elijah”). The latter | suits Henley’s voice and he sang very well. There was a much better attendance last night than on the opening evening, and no doubt if the festival could be pro- longed for several days it would attract large andiences. Unfortunately, how- ever, last night's wes tne closing per- formance, and there will be no chance of | hearing Mme. Bishop again tuis season, as her bookings compel ber}lo coniinue her tour at once. | Mme. Bishop was in spendia voice | again last night and showed’ herself very | complaisant in responding to encore: She sang Chaminade’s “Sleep, Little Rose- bud” and Koethner's “If My Love Were Like a Fiower’” with exquisite expression, and she was equally at home in an aria from Massenet’s ‘Cid.” By special re- questone of Mme.
