Results of Sunday Baseball Games in Stockton, Santa Cruz and Other Cities STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 15.—The base- ball game at Goodwater Grove tn-day was a great disappoiniment to the lovers of the National game, The 8. N. Woods of San Francisco came to defeat the al. most unveaten Stockton nine, but they were never in the game, and the local team did just as it pleased with them. Afier making twenty runs Stockton let tne visitors run up their score just to cheer them, although it was evident to the people on tne grand stand and bleach- ers that the visiting team could have been held down to almost a shui-out if the local men wanted to play ball. Perrine and Mulvey were the battery for the vis- itors and Whalen and Billings for Stock- ton. Stockton has probabiy the strongest team on the coast and wouid like to cross bats with the Reliance men again, having beaten them once ard been beaten by them only when the regular nine was not in the fieid.

The contest was one of the bestof the kind ever witnessed here, there being a spir- ited rivalry between the two teams. The game was played to settle an o!d grudge as well as to decide the disputed cham- | ~ionship of the San Joaquin Valtey. The Fresno boys outclassed their opponents in batting, base-running and fielding.

FRESNOQ, CaL., Aug. 15.—There is con- sternation among the members of the police force, the paid men of the Fire Department and other city employes over whom the Council has power of appoint- ment because Trustee Joseph Spinney has announced his intention of “‘firing"” them all and then resigning himself. In an in- terview with TuE CaLL correspondent the Fifth Ward statesman declared vigorously | | | | | | the municipality for the *‘kicks” ol the public. He had labored earnestly and faithfully, he said, and had sacrificed his own time to the detriment of his own business in the interests of the city. All tue reward he received was abuse from the peovle. Continuing, the dissatisfied Councilman | stated that the Fire Department was | rebellious and was overriding the Tru tees; that members of the police force were also defiant, speaking to the Trus- tees in a contemptuous manner. Spinney deplored the state of affairs when em- ployes ignored the board, to which they should be thankful for their positions. When the City Trustees meet to-morrow night, said Spinney, he would begin at the | top of the employe list and go to the bot- tom, discharging every mau on the way down, and after thisyfeat had been accom- plished the Trusteé would resign his office. Spinney bolds the balance of power on | the board, two of the other members | being Republicans and the other two | Democrats, His politics is hard to fol- {low. He has been Povulist, Republican and Democrat at various times and is now | a Democrat. While he is unable to resd and write the trustee is a very cunning schemer. He is now serving his second term as representative of the ‘‘Bloody Fut” ward on the board. It is believed that Spinney’s matrimo- nial infelicities are partly reponsible for his strange and unreasonable conduct. A few moatis ago his first wife, whom he from him becauae Joe had been caught in the scciety of younger and fairer women. Inafew weeks the trustee wed- 7 | ded a lodging-house keeper, having to go | to Reno, Nev., to have ithe koot tied in order to escape the law passed by the last Legis ature. But Spinney’s matrimonial | biiss was not to last long, for three weeks | after their marriage bis second wife fled, after having collected considerable of his rents. It is velieved that she went 1o Stockton. Since herdeparture Spinney has | been gruff and sullen. —_————— FRESNO COUNTY'S HARVEST. Season’s Wheat Yield Estimated at Forty 2housand Tons. FRESNO, Car, Augz. 15—The prain | harvest season is nearly over, and it is now possible to make an accurate esti- mate of the yield in Fresno County this year. The output for the county is placed at 40,000 tons. This is considered a two- thirds crop, the average yield being about 60,000 tons. The quality of the grain this year is good, and it brings the highest prices. The heaviest crops in the county were grown on the reclaimed land in the slough country, on the west side, an aver- age of from twelve to fifteen sacks a nacre being threshed. Tuere are several thousand acres along the aloughs connecting Tulare Lake and Holds the Balance of Power that he was tired of working in behalf of | married in Maine in 1875, secured a divorce | tne 8an Joaquin River which have been reclaimed at considerable expense by the | erection of levees. The soil is a rich sedi- | ment, deposited by the overflow of the sloughs during seasons of high water. By | the system of levees the land can be irri- | zated, and the grain of this year had been | watered one and two times while growing, There will be a large outputof cereals from this section during the next few | years, but it is feared that sunflowers and | cockieburrs will ultimately gain possess- ion. This has been the ditliculty with all land which bas been reclaimed zlong the | slough. After the farmers have overcome the ever-present wire grass by repeated plowing for a season or two, they have enjoyed the fruits of their labors for only a few years, because the weeds would ap- | pear and baffle all efforts to eradicate | them. They grow over and kill the grain sown. | CHANGES AT STANFORD. | —_— ! Personnel of the Palo Alto University Faculty for the Coming Year. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaAr., Aug. 15.—Although the entrance examination will not be given until August 30, pros- pective freshmen are already beginning to | arriye at Palo Alto and with the matricu- lated students who are impatiently await- ing registration day and the renewing of | old acquaintances have given the univer- sity quite a lively appearance. There are to be several changes in the faculty for the new col.eze year. Dr. George E. Howard, head of the history | department, will spend a year of study in Europe. During his absence Professor | Claude A. Daniway, a craduate of the Cornell and the Harvard Law School, will give a course in American history in ad- dition to a new course in forensics. Dr. Amos G. Warner of the department | of economics and sceology, who was forced to give up his university work on account of 1li health, has returned much refreshed from a two years’ restin Arizona. He will again take charge of his various | classes. The Rev. Mr. Parsons, Yale 95, rector of the Episcopal Church at Menlo Park, will give a course of lectures on “The His- tory of Philosoply,”’ besides conducting one of the seminary courses. The course in elementary law given last year by Instructor Polley will be in charge of Ctark Whiittier, A.B. Stauford 93, LL.B. Harvard '96. Professor O.iver . M. Johuston, who comes from Bryn Maur, is to be one of the new professors in the department 'of Romanic ianguages. The work in German given last year by Miss Wickham, who is now in a New York college, will be under Instructor Schmidt, Stanford ’95. Mr. Schmidt gavs a course in Anglo-Saxon last year. Miss Mary McLean, University of Cali- fornia '95, after a year’s study at Radcliffe | and twelve months spent in Europe, will | be an as istant in the English depart- ment. Miss McLean is a daughter of Dr. J. K. McLean, president of the Pacitic Theological Seminary. During the absence of Professor Bolton Coit Brown, who is to spend a vear of study 1n New York, Miss Zoe Fiske, a zraduate of Syracuse University, will give several courses in art. A special feature will be made of the iife c!ass work. George W. Peirce, a grad uate of Harvard and a professor at Indiana University last year, will be one of the new men in the department of botany. N The courses in education will bs given by Profe-sors Starbuck, Schallenberger | and lLostructor Maitland. Mr. Starbuck comes from Clark University, where his original researches attractea the atten- tion of Professor Jordan. Dr, ;Richardson of the department of cuemistry, who was recently taken with a second attack of appendicitis, has had an operation performed at the Lane Hospital in fan Francisco. At last accounts he was resting quietly. Dr. Richardson is catcher on the faculty ball team, and one of the most popular men at the university. Dr. Jordan is due in Seattle on August 26, and will probably be at the university in timo to give his annual address of wel- come to the new class. Mrs. Stanford 1s not expected to return from Europe until October. It is very probable that upon her return work will immediately begin on the new auditorium, a building which is very much needed here at present, as the chavel is entirely inadequate to meet the demands of the growing student boay. ——— Crooker at Santa Barbara.

HAS NOT GIVEN ALL THE FACTS Weak Places Found in the Confession of. Dan Dutcher. It Is Believed He Shot to Save Himself Instead of Mrs. Schofield. Irving Mann Admits It Was the Chore Boy Who Threw Stones at the House. SAN JOSE, CaL, Aug. 15.—The whole story of tne murder of George W. Scho- field, the Llagos rancher, was not told in the confessions made Eaturday by Dan Dutcher and Irving Mann., There were a number of discrepancies and 1mproba- bilities, which did not escape Sheriff Lyndon, his deputies and Deputy District Attorney Pariridee, and for the past twenty-four hours they have been work- ing on clews which promise sensational developments. In the firat place it was looked upon as a singular thing that the incident of the stone-throwing in the night should have been invented to give coherency and strength to the false story prepared im- mediately after the shooting. There was no need of such an addition. The ficti- tious statement was cozaplete without it, and if the stone-throwing never oc- curred then its introduction into the pre- pared story of the three witnesses of Schotield’s death must have been con- ceived by a brain littie short of idiotic. It was the opinion of Sheriff Lyndon that the store-throwing actually occurred and that Dan Dutcher was responsible for it. It wasalso the opinion of the officers that Dan’s story lacked completenessin other respects; that while he might have told much of the truth, yet there were partsof his confession that had been mod- ified and changed in order that his con- nection with the tragedy might appear in the most favorable light. The truth in regard to this matter came out this evening. In the presence of the representative of THE CALL Irving Mann stated that Dan Dutcher not only threw the stones against the house but also called upon Schofield to come out and be filled full of boles. He was asked if Scho- field went out, and replied that he did not; that his stepfather did not leave the house that night. “But he heara Dan’s voice, didn't he?” he was asked. *‘He must have heard it.”’ *“How many stones did Dan throw?’ “Idon't know how many.”” “Did the throwing last long?"” “Not a great while.”” “Do you know where Dan went after fir- ing the shot from the porch?” “No. He was outside somewhere." Bit by bit th2 truth is coming out. Bit by bit is the evidence accumulating that Dan Datcher killed Schofield, not so much for the protection of Mrs. Schofield asin defense of his own life. But was his life in danger? ask some of the officers. If the firing of the shot on Friday evening placea him on Schofield’s book of deadly enemies why did he not leave the house and piace himself far beyond the o'd man’'s fury? These and other questions Dan Dutcher will have to answer when he appears for examination before Justice P.nard on Tuesday. | Dutcher says he went to bed shortly after shooting at Schofield from the din- ing-room porch. Did he? And was he| awakened next morning by Mrs. Scho- field’s screams, or was he out of doors be- fore Schofield, ready to drop the old man should he appear within shooting dis- tance? Dutcher was seen in his cell to-day by THE CALL repressntative, but reiused to admit that he either threw the stones or called on Schofield to come out. When be was informed that Irving Mann had told the truth about this incident he began to cry, and said: *'lrving's story will have to go.”” It is still an oven question whether the killing was done on Friday night or Sat- urday morning. Perhaps the examina- tion may forever set this question at rest. The stone-throwing mystery, coupled with other actions of Duatcher, have given rise to the theory that Schotield, if he was about on Saturday morning, went out of doors with his gun more for the purpose of shooting his nineteen-year-old boy than to renew his murderous warfare against his wife. If so, the question at issue was: Who would get the first shot? A meeting between the men would mean the death of one or the other. Mrs. Schofield was confined to her bsd to-day. The excitement of Saturday had completely unnerved her, ana she passed a sleepless night and a succeeding day of worry and trouble. Acting under instrnctions from Attor- ney Scheller she refused to make any de- tailed statement. Scheller said to-day that she had confided her story to him, and that, generally speaking, it was the same as the one told by ®an Datcher to Sheriff Lyndon, Constable Fay and ThE | CALL representative on the road between Madrong and San Jose. She claims that her life was in danger when Dutcher fired the shot. Sheriff Lyndon and Deputy Sheriff Benson went tothe Schofield ranch to-day to make a further examination of the premises. The correctness of the state- ment made by Dutcher in regard to his position and the position of Schofield at the time the fatal shot was fired was tested and the conclusion arrived at that Schofield might have been killed in the manner and at the place described. A search was made for the rifle - shells thrown away by Datcher, but none of thery could be found. 3 George Schofield, the 10-year-old son of Mrs. Schofield, was interviewed concern- ing statements made by him to outside persons respecting a family row that had occurred in the house two or three days before the tragedy. The story he told was a repetition of that partof the con- fession of Dutcher relating to the rumpus at the braakfast table on Frilay morning. When asked if the row did not take place on Friday instead of at the time he had mentioned the boy burst into tears. About the happenings of Friday night and - Sat- urday morning he knew nothing, as he was in bed and asleep. Sheriff Lyndon made the statement that during the interview he had with Mrs, Schofield on Baturday evening she said that stones were thrown at the hous> on Friday night, but refused to admit that Dutcher did the throwing. e Cut His Throat With a Rasor, SAN JOSE, Can, Aug. 15.—Johann Victor Hill, a laborer, 36 years of age and a native of Ireland, committed suicide at San:a Clara to-day by cuiting his throat with a razor. He had been on a prolonged spree, and was without mon=y. DOOMED 70 DI:, BUT ESCAPES. Dr. Kelly, Whose Ceath Was Lecreed by Peru’s President, feaches Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Aug. 15.—Dr. J. Kelly, recently of Lima, Peru, was in this yesterday, having made a hurried trip from the South American republic, where he had lived for twenty years, but which can be his home no longer. Forty-four days ago the doctor left the seaport of Cailao between two days and sought refuge on the British man-of-war Comusg, then in the harbor. The Feruvians wanted to detain the doctor, not that they loved him, but because they wanted to stand him up against a wall and shoot holes through bim. The crime for whbich he would have thus suffered was, according to his story, his being on the wrong side of the political fence. Kelly had been so long in Peru that he had been through many revolutions and | had served under many Governments: but | he was a partisan of President Caceros, who went out of power last December and was succeeded by Piercla, who again made self provisional President. “The Pierola party, in its efforts to rid the couniry of ali of the friends of Cace- ros, finally” came around 1o Dr. Kelly, who had been active in support of tho de- | posed President, and the intrigues of per- sonal enemies assisted in puttiug around him a net designed for his undoing. He succeeded in eluding the soldiers sent to get him for execution, reached the sea- shore, claimed ana obtained refuge on the Comus, and by that vessel was taken to Mazatlan, whence he came to San Diezo on a coast steamer and to Los Angeles by rail. He will to-morrow depart for Ari- zona. Dr. Kelly will file a claim against the Peruvian ~Government, notwithstanding he was beaten on a previous occasion when he sougnt United Siates aid to force the Peruvian Government to pay him for his drugstore at Payta, burned by a squad of revolutionists. He says that claim was defeated because the matter was referred tothe American Consul, an Italian named Dr. Columbus, who had a personal grudge against Kelly and reported against him. s e FIRE DES1KOXS A MANSION. | Picluresque Paul Kesidence at Santa Barbara Burned. SANTA BARBARA, Can, Aug. 15— The residence of Mrs. Smith Paul, 605 Dela Vina street, was destroved by fire last night between the hours of 12 and 1 o’clock. It isnot known how the fire originated, but it is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a gaso- line stove in a storeroom in the rear of the building. i This building was erected many years | ago, at a cost of $10,000, ana was one of | the picturesque places of Santa Barbara. Uutil a short time ago the building was insured for $6000, bui the owner had the insurance reduced to $4000 because of the bard times. Most of tue furniture on the first floor was saved, but that on the sec- ond was totally 1estroyed. —_——— Rails Laid into Fresno.

HOURNERS AT A CANINE'S GRAVE Flowers Carried Daily to the Tomb of a De-~ parted Dog. Mr. and Mrs Ben Napthaly’s Affection for a Dumb Animal. It Fell a Victim to the Polsoner, and They Have Not Ceased to Grieve. SAUSALITO, Car., Aug. 15.—One of the strangest cases of affection for a dumb | animal has come to light in Sausalito and strange to say Ben Napthaly, the well- known Police Court lawyer, figures as the principal character. It seems that about a month ago, when a dog-poisoner visited Sausalito and scate tered death to the fine canines in the town, the splendid thoroughbred spaniel owned by Napthaly ate some of the poisoned meat and died from the effects, No clew could be obtained as to who was doing the dastardly work and one by one the good dogs turned up their toes and gave up the battle of life. Napthaly was at a loss to learn who the culprit was and does not know to this day. The dog which he and his wife thought so much of was given a royal burial. Soon the incident was forgotten and the death of the Napthalys’ canine occasioned no further remarks until lately, when people have neen commenting about tha visits of the Police Court lawyer and his wile to a lot near the water front. Regularly twice a day and sometimes three times & day the pair would wend their way to the lot with a bunch of fresu picked flowers—choice ones at that—and place them over a little mound of earth. Beneath the mound lie the remains of the dog. This is the attraction that brings Naptihaly and his wife to the lot so frequently. INSIST> UPON 3iAKVING. Puyallup Farmer Who Refuses Food Is Sent to an Asylum. TACOMA, WasH., Aug. 15.—The case of Ote Moen, a Puyallup farmer, 65 yearsold, is puzzling the authorities, For a year | past he could not be kept at home, but in- sisted on going into the woods, where ha would stay until nearly starved to death. Then he would return to his farm and his family would prepare food for him. Usually he would refuse to eat and on several occasions it was found necessary to force food into his stomach in order to keep him aiive. After recuperating a few days he would again return to the woods, where he slept in a hut made of trees and boughs. Last week his friends brought Moen to town to allow physicians to examine him. They could not sid him and yesterday he was committed to the asylum. It was fonund that about a_year ago he was taken with severe pains in the head and since that time has been growing worse. He refuses to talk and will give no account of himself. The doctors concluded that it would be unsafe to allow him to remain longer at large.
