The Infant Stolen by a Rival for the Affections of Its Mother. ABDUCTOR KILLED BY THE ST, LOUIS CYCLONE. Confessss on Hlis Deathbed and Gives a Clew to the Missing Boy’s Whereabouts. 2.—The last act of real life as was the rom rs occurred and a grown bo a hay- met iale-aged man ammond of € v was reared in San enforced separation years between them. For ten or more the father has wandered, , searching for the countable disappearance when e wife and na y grave. i Gus Clark's ad- of Pheenix there came (o him a letter, sirned by Dr. Ham- of St. Louis, asking him for any formation as to the where- sbouts of a young man named Henry Creelman. It is probable that the Chiefs of Police or City Marshals at all promi- nent points on the coast received the same ry at that time; but only Gus was able to give any news of the young man. Such a person had been in the employ of the Rio Verde Canal Company for a long time and had then been lost sight of at Prescoit. Dr. mond immediately came to the Ter- ; and began fresh inquiries at Pres- cott. It was only a matter of a few days before young Creelman was traced to Mesa City, where he had sccured work on | a ranch. The meeting between father and son | was affecting in the extreme, particularly on the father's side. Tue Loy quit the ranch at once and went with his father to the Kimbail House, where they passea 1the night—perhaps such a night as boy | aud mun never passed before—ihe boy in ! telling of his sardships and wanderings, the fatber in relating a most remarkable narrative, the details of which could hardly be given in the limits of a newspa- per article. It reaches back to a placid rural scene inan Ohio town—Ashiabuia—twenty-two years ago. Then and there a Miss Don- a dson, the only daughter of a very re- spectable family, was the belle of the yil- lage. Buitors for her hand and heart sue numbered by the score, but of them all the one most favored was a young lawyer of great promise—Edwin Creelman. Ina onths they were to have been wed, { the papas and mammas of the town = culled it & fine match and predicted suc- | cess for the lawyer and a happy, prosper- home for the future bride. there came to al college graduate—this same Dr. the middle-aged man who er the bright stars of an Ari- ky and tries to make s elieve that he once had a lovin and still bas a fond father. ring the absence of the family physi Miss Donaldson was taken seriously . Andnow began the long life drama. Dr. Hommond was catled to the house, The story writers would say it was love at first sighi, but it is sufficient for the para- grapher to sum up the net result of that ym s und summe meeting. Tue maich with Creelman was broken o 1 at the wedding the princi- | pals were the new doctor and his first pa- tient, The green monster made a demon of the rejected suitor. He upbraided unis false sweetheart in quite the fashion of the melodrama stage villain, and he swore to be avenged upon the couple, though it took a lifetime to accomplish it. That oath was kept to the letter, for in real life the Great Dramatist i< not bound by the stage rules {hat require a happy ending and the showy triumph of virtue. Four years after the marriage of Dr. L. H. Hammond and the belle of Ashtabula their only child, Leo, was stolen trom his home, ana from that day until the meet- ing at Mesa City yesterday the child never knew or saw or heard of his par- ents. Large sums of money wera spent in endeayoring to gain some clew to the child, and a good deal of this money vassed through the bands of that prince of detectives, Allan Pinkerion. All the searching came to naught. The theory at the time was that gypsies had carriea” off the babe, and this was true, but not all of | thestory. A year afterthe kidnaping the grief-siricken mother received a letter in familiar bandwriting with an Australian postmark. It was from the rejected lov who calmly acknowledged tue cowaraly theft of the child, and as coolly declared that its parents would never see it again. Thus his oath of vengeance was fulfi ied. Then the mozher died, and the father, now quite alone and broken-nearted, began his wanderings. thought his sufferings bad unseatea his reason. He went to Australia and frem there to South Africa, but covid find no | trace of the villain of his life’s drama, nor of the stolen child. A few years ago ie settled dowa in St. Louis and resumed his practice as a physician. Even the elements play a vart in this story and serve to bring about, in fact, its chief denouement—which, agnin, is con- trary to the modern rules of romance and drama. When the cyclone passed over 8:. Louis about & year ago, in the pub- lished list of the wounded was the name of Kdwin Creelman. Dr. Hammond saw the name and soon the wronged man stood at the bedside of his foe. Only the fact that Creelman was at death’s door averted a scene of violence and probable blood- shed. The dying man confessed his crime— confessed that he had paid a gypsy woman 10 stesl the child, that tbe child had bsen taken to San Krancisco and lodged with a poor family which was paid by Creslman jor his keeping. Creelman posed as his father, and gave him the name of Heury. For several years remittances came regu- larly from Australia. Then they ceased, and the boy was put out to gain his own living. Even Creelman, upon his return to America, could find no trace of him. ‘When the confession was ended tha victim ot the vengeance of the clements went to least—wept in | son | sutabula a young | Mauy, peopls | | | | | MISS MYRTLE HAYWARD, Who Will Personate the Goddess | of Liberty in Woodland’s Fourth of July Demorstration. sesa City, when a middle- | . | his long accounting, and the father re- newed his search.

WILD NEGR:S5 AT SACRAMENTO. | Shot a Cofored Person, Slapped a Bar- tender, Smasked Furniiure and Lance: in Jail. t SACRAMENTO, CaL., July Shortly after 5 o'clock this evening a colored } woman named Ione Fisher entered the | back door of a saloon on L street, owned | by a colored man named Charles Yates, | and drawing a pistol, sa:d: ““You're the | fetllow I'm after.” | Then she fired a shot at the proprietor. | | The builet whizzed by hishead, and Yates | stood not on the order of his going, but | left immediately. He dodged into the next house and ran through 1t into the | yard, closely followed by the infuriated woman. As he reached the foot of the | ! stairs leading into the yard, the woman, | standing on the porch above him at a | distance of about six feet, took deliberate | jaim and fired again. The bullet struck Yates directly on top of the head and staggered him, but he recovered his balance and ran awzy. The woman finding that her yietim had | escaped returned to the saloon, stood the | bartender up in the corner at the point of | her pistol ana slapped his face until she | tired ot that amusement. She then | smashed all the glassware and mirrors | and had started to demolish the furniture when the patrol wegon arrived. City At- torney Brown, who accompanied the | wagon on the sapposition that Yates was dead or dying, placed the virago under arrest and took her to the City Prison. Shortly afterward Yates walked into the Receiving Hospital and the City Physi- ian removed the ball. The leaden mis- | sile baa flat ened out on the skull as thin as a sheet of paper. | ""As soon as the lead was removed and | the wound dressed Yates walked back to 92 | his place of business and began clearing { up the wreck. He said thatno litile thing | like getting hit in the head by a bullei could keep him from working. It appears that the couvle have been living together for about seven months, but of late the course of their love has en- countered howlders and they separated. | To-day the woman sent to Yates fora pair | of old slippers she had left behind, and as | they were not forthcoming she went to ! the house of a colored man named Wil- tiame, stole his revolver and went on the | warpath, - — 'HOPPERS IN NEViDA COUNTY, Army of Pe:tr Adrancing Along the San Juan Ridge. NEVADA CITY, CaL, July 2—For the past five days a vast army of grasshoppers hias been moving up the San Juan ridge | from the South Yuba River, devastating that beautiful and fruitful portion of Ne- vada County. Tihe fruit and grain crops on all the ranches up to French Corral have been destroyed and the invaders are continuing their onward march. Where they come from no one can ascertain, for there is no trace of their having been on | the south side uf the river. The residents of the afflicted districts have dug trenches and builit lines of fire to stop the progress of the pests, ‘but their efforts have been unavailing.

To-morrow excursion trains from the country will arrive, and it is ex- pected that by evening the town will be crowded with visitors, who will come from all parts of the county to witness the il- luminated Venetian water carnival on the bay to-morrow night. The main topic of conversation is this Venetian display. Everybody is inter- ested, and the chief solicitude of the peo- ple lies in the fear of an unfavorable changs in the weather, which has given evidences of forwardness. Tuoe main feature of the Venetian car- nival will be the irradiated parade, which will take place as soon it becomes dark enough to make the illuminations effect- ive. The varade will be led by the Vene- tian barge, which will wafi Queen Carri her maids and retinue over the resplen- dent waters, This barge is very beautiful and is built on the galley type, after one of the McMonnies World’s Fair designs.

BAN RAFAEL, Car., July 2.—A strange case of youthful depravity came to light in San Rafael to-day upon the arrest of two little girls for malicious mischief. The complaint was sworn to before Justice Rodden by Mrs. M. A. Howe. The chiliiren have a record which is ap- palling, and the reason assigned by the people of San Rafael who know them is that they lack the heed of a restraining hand. Ever since they have been able to walk they have done as they plessed and bave been into more mischief than any other two girls in the country. They are Frances Morras and Rosa Morras, and their ages are 11 and 12 years. According to Mrs. Howe, the girls got on her property and, with the aia of Iarge sticks, destroyed her fruit trees. They broke the branches and ruined the fruit and in other ways attempted to do malicious mischief. When seen in the County Jail the chil- dren looked innocent enough, and the elder of the two replied 1o the questions put 1o them. She said sbe had been ar- restea for stealin: apricots, and she ad- mitted that she did take the fruit, but denied having broken the trees or done other mischie: i It seems that the giris have bcen al- lowed to do everything and anything, and to steal seems with them to be a second nature. Not long ago they went into the front yard.of a vprivate residence, and, seeing a guitar lying on a porch, made away with it aimost under the eyes of the owner, who caught them and made them give it up. Probably the greatest mischief the little tots ever got inio wrs the smashing of the organ in the Presbyterian church. They affected an entrance into the church in some way. The sight of the organ was more than they could stand, and they vroceeded to demolish it. They broke the flutes. An effort was made about this tiae to reform them, and one was sent to an institution, but returned after a time. It is not thought that Mrs. Howe will press the prosecution, and the children will again be free. An effort will again be maae to have them put into some institution, where they will be trained proverl; - 8polane Salrationists Arvested, SPOKANE, Wash., July 8.—The entire local Salvation Army corps was arrested to-night.

ORATOR BRYAN'S TRAIN DELAYED Fails to Reach Reno Until Early This Morning. Disappointment of Nevadans Who Had Planned an Ovation. Callfornla Dates for the Sliver Champlon’s Spseches Will Not Be Affected. SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 2.—William J. Bryan, who was scheduled to arrive in Sacramento at 5:40 o’clock in the morn- ing, will not reach this point before 9 or 9:30, owing to detention of trains in Ne- vada and the fact that he is expected to address the people of Reno, Nev., shortly before daybreak. Iun this cily extensive arrangements have been made for his re- .| ception, and a warm welcome will be ac- corded him by the lccal Democracy and representatives from neighboring cities. Tuhe sleeping-car Roseburg, which Bryan will occupy after he leaves this city, was taken out of the paintshop this morning and stationed at the western end of the depot, where the women’s commit- tee boarded it and prepared it for the dec- orations. On each side of the car is fastened a large shield, on which is painted a fac-simile of a stanaing silver dollar and Bryan's name, with “Sacramento’’ be- I P ———— neath. The windows of the car will be bedecked with wreathes of ivy, and the National colors are festooned all over the exterior, while the interior is a mass of floral decoration of the most expensive description. e o NEVADAMNS DISAPPOINTED, Bryan’s Train Delayed Because of Poor Connections. RENO, N&v,, July 2.—The citizens of Reno act as though some great calamity had befallen the town, and all because the Southern Pacific train on which William J. Bryan is a passenger was reported some four hours late, the delay being caused by Christian Endeavor trains and poor connections. This delay not only affected Reno, but will necessitate short stops at other points where Bryan is btiled to speak in order that the orator sball reach Los Angeles by July 4. The reception which was to have been tendered Mr. Bryan by Reno citizens if his train had arrived on time wouid have been an ovation seldom, if ever, equaled in the Silver State. Special trains baa been chartered from Virginia and Carson and were later canceled. Several resi- dents of the Comstock, however, drove over the grade in carriages to listen to the short address which it is understood Bryan will deliver from the car platform. The citizens of Ormsby County will pre- sent Mr. Bryan with a letter of welcome. Itis engraved on a silver tablet, on which is sketched a picture of the State Capitol building and other beautiful scroll work. The letter engraved on the tablet ex- presses Nevada's appreciation of the gen- tleman’s visit and laads him for his efforts on behalf of silver, I S California Not to Be Divappointed. OGDEN, Urag, July 2—Bryan’s train left Ogden, two hours behind schedule time this morning. The delay will effect the programme in Nevada, but will not interfere with arrangements in California. SAN JOSE WINERY SEIZED. Deputy Inspector Flennery Learns of an Infraction of the Revenue Laws, SAN JOSE, CaL., July 2.—The Cuper- tino, on San Carlos street, near Sunol, was seized by Deputy Internal Revenue Collector D. J. Fiannery to-day for an in- fraction of the internal revenue laws. The proprietors are Antonio Zeicovich & Sons, and the proverty seized is wortn many thousands of dollars. The offense upon which the seizure was made is claimed to have been perpetrated last night. The Federal officer learned this morning that during the night there had been a mysterious activity in the dis- tillery at the rear of the winery on Sunol and San Carlos streets, and he discovered that unstamped liquors had been hauled from there to the residence of Antonio Ze:covich, at 260 O:chard street. Fiannery visited Justice Gass this morn- ing and secured a search warrant for the Zeicovich premises. The cellar of the wine manufacturer was invaded and three barrels of brandy found, aegregating something over 200 gallons. Thisis pre- sumably the load taken from the distil- lery, and, as the tax upon brandy is §l a gallon, the profit to be made by evading the 1ax collector, had such evasion been successful, won!d have been considerable. It is impossible to estimate accuratel at present the value of the property suzu{ as there is a large undetermined quaatity of wine stored in the cellara, Probab'y there is in the neightorhood ot 500,000 gallons there, and. though this is the property of a Sar Francisco syndicate, it s subject to seizare.

Last of the Lecture Couise on Plan's and Pests Closes With Thanks fo Mr. Biolett', WRIGHTS, CaL., July 2.—The leciure to-day on “‘Insect Parasites” concluded the course given by Mr. Bioletti. He had endeavored, he said, in developing this series of lectures, to do o in a logical, connected way, bringing out general principles with the hope that each intei- ligent farmer who attended the course would be able to apply the principles dis- clos>d to any particular set of facts. He had explainea the structnre of the plant and its cells and the functions and mutual dependence of its various parts, the man- ner in which the plant grows and the con- ditions which are favorable, as well as unfavorable, to- its growth, and the na- ture, characteristics and life history of the various parasites and the manner in which they get teir foothoid in the plant and do their damage. * In such a btief course of lectures he could not say much in a practical way about spray pumps and how to use them, etc., but cou.d lay down general prin- ciples so that the farmer could study for himself the character of the remedy needed and how to apply it. He com- pared the insect and fungous injuries and showed how, in many ways, they are igentical. From a consideration of the various in- sect pests, he said, according to their method of attack, their peculiarities of structute and their habits and ways of feeding, he would be enabied to formulate some general rules as to methods of treat- ment. The terrible phylloxera is a root parasite, and while time without lim t and fabulous sums of money have been expended in ibe Oid and the New Worid for iis study and the aiscovery of a remedy the pest still was with them. The cultivation of immune or 1esistant varie- ties of plants, however, he said, was the most promising remedy for this, as well as many other pests.. Professor Wood- worth of the State University, he said, was investigating the grasshopper pest at Fresno and had discovered several prac- tical and simple remedias, The remedfes used for insects are of two main classes, depending for their ef- ficiency on the feeding habit of the in- sects. Those insects which feed on the outer parts of ths plant can be killed by poisons and those which feed on the in- terior by caustics. The following is a summary of remedial measures for insect injuries: Killing the insect by poison, by ic washes and by mechanical means, such as the hopver-doser, hand-picking and traps, the metnod of starvation and the rotation of crovs, the cultivation ot immune varieties and the spreading of in- fectious diseases among the pests. A vote cf thanks was tendered to Mr. Bioletti by the farmers for coming among them and giving them the valuable in- structions which they had received. . e Zos Angeles Lineman Killed. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 2—Death in its most sudden form came this afternoon to Frank McAtee, s lineman in the em- ploy of the Los Angeles Electric Light Company. He was engaged at work on the top of a pole on Spring street stretch- ing = wire, when watching spectators saw him suddenly fall forward upon and across the wires and lie there suspended jand limp. Smoke asirom a pisto] was seen to arise from him, and his fellow-workmen engaged beneath him hurried to him and found that the unfortunate man had been electrocuted. As quickly as possible the stricken lineman was taken down, but he was dead before the hospital wagon ar- rived. e San Joaquin Grapes Damaged. STOCKTON, CaL, July 2.—The recent hot spell has played havoc with the grape crop in this county. Henry Armbrust, one of the County Board of Horticultural Commissioners, reports tbat the Tokay variety, particularly, suffered greatly, Some of the bunches are so baaly burned that they are worthless. The burned ber- ries look like roasted coffee. Mr. Arm- brust says a great deal of damage by heat can be overcome, ana has given the vine- yardists the benefit of a treatment recom- mended very highly to the board. This relates more, however to the saving of the vines, anda it is considered that the loss already will run into hundreds of tons. -— Zeprosy on Roberts Island. STOCKTON, Car.,, July 2.—A second Chinaman has been found on Roberts Island who bears indications of leprosy, and next Sunday Dr. Harkness, the coun- ty Health Officer, will examine more closely into the cass. The Chinese par- deners on the island are much alarmed at the visitations of the Health Officer and are not inclined tolend him any assist- ance. As many sell vegetables in the city, it is the intention of the officials to ascer- tain whether or not this spot has been chosen by the afflicted for their residence. The leper discovered last week is still at large, the officer not knowing what to do with him, ey Stockton Damage Suit, STOCKTON, Can, July 2—A. H. Matheson, who was employed s a brake- man by the Corral. Hollow Railroad and was injured a year ago, to-day brought suit against the company for $50,000 damages. Matheson was engaged in coupling cars when the accident occurred. His leg was o badly crushed that it was amputated. He has been at a private hospital since. Tne plaintiff blames the company for the accident. It zeems that Superintendent Foy had invented a new kind of block for blocking cars, and it was locked with a padiock. It was something new to Matheson, and his foot got caught in it gt Drowned in the San Joaguin. * 810CKTON, CaL., July 2.—George Phil- lips, who has been working on the Fisher ranch at St. Katherines, down the river, weni in swimming yesterday with a companion.
