Iuvestigation elicited the info from members of the household th Creede had been accustomed to the use of morphine, one person being authority for the statement that he had habitually used the drug for the past fourteen years. The millionaire miner has for the past four rs lived in a fine mansion as the “Northam house’” on Figu street, having purchased the place abo year after arriving in this city to make his home here. Of late the only relatives he had in the great house were the members of the family of his brother-in-law, Mr. Pfeiff An adopted daughter two years of age is now visiting at Elsinore Springs and his wife has been away from him since las December. The movements of his wife may have a significant bearing upon the tragedy in that garden arbor, for she re- turned to the city a few days ago and, it is said, had already given great annoyance to him. Creede and his wife parted last Decem- ber, he giving her $20,000 cash as a settle- ment, the agreement being that she should not return to bhim. It is not known where Mrs. Creede has been during these months, but she reappeared on the scene so recently and to-night her hus- band lies in the morgue. There are no livine witnesses to Creede’s lastdeed. Whether he took only n his ordinary dose of morphine, bu: il- timed so soon before his dinner, or whether he deliberately swallowed a quantity of the drug to bring permanent surcease of sorrow, the Coroner will try to discover, The membvers of the household will not consent to the suicide story, claiming that both Creede and his wife were habitual users of the drug and hisdeath must have been accidental. Since cominy to Los Angeles from Colo- rado, about five vears ago, kept in comparative retirement, living in luxury at his Figueroa-street house. Last year he and his wife adopted an orphan girl, then but an infant, but domestic difficulties, the real nature of which is not commonly known, broke up the family, and after the had received a lump sum of money from her husband Mrx, Creede went away ana the child was cent to Elsinore. Creede is supposed to have retained his Jarge holdings in Coiorado mines, deriy- ing therefrom a great income. So far as known he did not make any extensive in- vestments in Los Angeles. His wealth has been computed far up in the mil. lions. L L i By CAREER OF CREEDE, Followed a Miner’s Fortunes and at Last Btruck It Rich. The career of N. C. Creede was one of hardship and adversity. After the war he drifted West and became a scout. As captain of a band of scouts he fougnt the Indians for several yearson the frontier. In the early seventies he went to Colo- rado and began the life of a prospector. For nearly twenty years he drifted up and down the Rocky Moantains, spending most of his time in this State. He suf- fered a!l the vicissitudes of hischosen life. Occasionally he struck it rich enough to sell out and obtain a year’s grub stake, but ‘more often he was broke and was torced to work at whatever he could to get enough money together to once more roam among his beloved mountains. He was always confilent, however, that tome day be would strike it rich. The winter of 1890 found him ‘“busted’’ in the little town of Del Norte. There a kindly butcher grubstaked him at the ex- pense of less than $100, with the resuit that both were made rich, and thegreat eilver camp of Creede was founded. The story of how it was accomplished was best told in his own words in an inter- view published two years ago. Said he: Iaman Indianian by birth. Iwas born at Fort Wayne, that State, in 1843. My parents 100k me to Towa when I was 2 Years old, and [ have never been east of the Mississippi since. In 1862, when I was 19, Ivolunteered in the United States army, and for seven years served as a scout witn the Pawnees. I re. ceived the pay of & first lieutenant, though I held no rank. : 1 went all through Nebraska, Colorado, Wyo- ming, Montana and the Bad Lands of the Dakotus in the early days. I was in the Black H:lis before gold was discovered, and when 1 heard of that excitement it set mo to think- ing about my lost opportunities. I began to talk to everybody I met who I thought had any knowledge of minerals, and by this meens 1 picked up sufficient knowledge to tell silver and gold float when I saw them.

I usually o0k a man along with me, though often I couid get no one for love or money to accom- pany me. I have stayed in the mountains'as iong as the snow would let me, and many times I have gone for months without seeing A human being. My outfit usually consisted of from twn to iour burros, laden with tent provisions to last four equipments and months. _ The commissary contained flour, meal, lard, butter, salt, pepper, pork and beaus.

De- tectives are looking over the city for the aeronaut and the girl. under the supposi- tion that they are in hidine here, but it is believed they have gone north. A number of Los Angeles people are anxiously awaiting news of the balloon man’s whereabouts. Among them 18 a woman he has been living with as his wite, and who is brgathing vengeance. D S A RUOUGH ON WHITTIER BOXS. Will Le Deprived of Their Usual Faca- tion Zhis Year. LOS ANGELES, CAL., July 12.—E ther to punish the cadets for their recent di:- play of insubordination or to make a notable departure from the policy of the previous administration, the trustees of Whittier State School have decided that the nsual summer encampment of the boys on Catalina Island will be omit- ted this year. The boys can get over the whippings they received for their at- tempted uprising, but to be deprived of the summer vacation on the island will make them “sore.” But ths trustees so decreed to-day that the edict “'goes.”’ Buperintendent Van Alstyne says that all the boys at the school are atfending to routine except six or eightof the re- bellious leaders, who are kept in confine- ment. The present administration ex- presses the opinion that the friction did not arise from the inexperience of the new force of officers and employes, but from the fact that under the previous management the boys were treated too well. The trustees do not fear the threat of prosecution for excessive punishment of the boys who led the recent so-called riot. - Jewels Taken by a Burglar. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 12.—Some time last night the jewelry-store of 8. Aufrichtig, at 358 South Brondway, was entered by a burglar and robbed of $1000 worth of watches, jeweiry and gold bul- tion. When the proprietor entered the place this morning the trays that had contained the valuable goods lav scattered upon the floor, they having been taken from a wooden safe in which they had been placed Saturday night. e R Aetor Ratoliffe’s Case Continwed.

Furthersearch revealed | great veins and ledges of coal. ! With the characteristic secretiveness of the trained gold-hunter, the two prospect- ors took ample samples both of the oil | and coal deposits. They came at once to | | Seattle and reported the result of their | | discovery to Charles F. Munday of the | | law firm of White & Munday. This gen- tieman had had tests made of the petro- | leam, which was pronounced productive, | | first-grade coal oil. He was informed, in | | short, that the great oil fields of Pennsyl- | | vania, Ohio and Indiana yislded no better oil; thatif be had a sufficient quantity he needed no other guarantee of a 1oriune. Mundaay enlisted a number of friends and citizens of Seattle, among them T. J. | Hamilton, who was United States Marshal | for the Territory of Washington during the first term of Grover Cleveland. Se- e | cretly they organized a company and sent | | five or six men, including three or four of | . - | the best oil and coal experts of the E: Seriously Wounded Jere Adams!to examine the discovery made ty the | prospectors. These men returned 1o a Quarrel Over a Game of | Seattle on the last Alaska steamer, the | Toveka. Their report, in brief, is that this lake | constitutes the greatest body of oi! ever | fice of the hotel. One of the bullets grazed Adams’ forehead, while the other | entered the skin under the jaw and, fol- lowing an upward course, passed through | the flesh, coming out just below the eye | and making an ugly wound. Dr. Jones of | San Rafael, who attended the injured man, said that the course of the bullet was pecaliar and, had the lead gone a quarter of an inch to the right or the left, an artery would have been severed and the chance of saving Adams’ life rendered | donbtful. As it was, the doctor said, without a doubt the wounded man would be brought around all right if blood poisoning did not set in. The stories told by the principals con- cerning the facts leading up to the affray differ somewhat. There were no Wwit- nesses present. The men were in the office of the Parisian House playing seven- up. McCue, who lives at Corte Madera, had driven over to San Rafael and dropped in to pay Adams a friendly visit. The | men have known each other for twenty years. The game was started and the limit was vlaced at 50 cents. As the evening passed and the excitement grew it was agreed to play for a larger sum, snd gradually it was rmised to $5. Then ndispute arose, and poth men madea grab for the money on tbe table. Adams scooped it toward nim. Blows followed. Up to this point both men agree, but regarding the affair from this point on the participants tell different stories, MecCue ass rts that Adams struck him, and in the gunarrel got him down upon the floor and commenced to beat him. When he found himgelt in this position he called upon Adams to let him up. | Adams would not do it, and McCne drew his revolver from his pocket, and from his position on the floor tired at Adams. Jere Adams is about 41 years old and a native of Switzerland. He has lived in Marin County for many years. To-day he lay upon a bed in room 21 of the Pari- sian House with his head bound up in cloths. Dr. Jones’ orders were not to allow any one 1o see the man, but Adams granted an interview to THE CALL repre- sentative who visited him. He was hardly able to speak, and what he said was ut- tered in whispers. ““We were playing seven-up,” said he, and I had found that McCue had counted one point more than he was enutled to, and I told him so. The boys told me earlier in ihe evening not to play, as McCus would ‘do me up’; but I have known him a long time and I did not think he would do what he did. It isdis- graceful, ““Well, when I told McCue that he'w: counting one point too much he didr’t like it and said that he had done no such thing. 1 made a grab for the money and he did the same, but I got the money, and then he pulled out his pistol and fired at me. I did not feel hurt, but the blood covered my face.”” Adams was asked if he had not got Mec- Cue down on the floor and commenced to beat bim. This he denied emphatically. When seen McCue said: ““1 considered that I had fairly and squarely won the money. When Adams got angty 1 started to walk away, saying I had all 1 wanted of the game, us there had been wrangling before. Adams foliowed me, and I said, ‘You keep away or you'll get hurt.’ “Then he grabbed me by the neck and threw me to the floor, nurting my leg borribly. He went for me like a wild beast, tearing my clothes, and fearing [ was going to be killed I pulled my gun and fired.”’ Peter O'Brien, 2 night watchman, went to the Parisian House and placed McCue under arrest. trict Attorney E. B. Martinelli was summoned and McCue was taken before Justice of the Prace George Roiden, where O’'Brien swore to a war- rany charging him with an assault to discovered.
