CHICO, CaL., Aug. 19.—This has been a hard day on the horses at the racetrack. The thermometer registered 103 in the shade, yet the horses stood it well and some fine races were seen. The one of most interest to the people was the gen- tlemen’s road race, which was a local affair, there being three entries., The race was won by Major Barnard’s Harry J. In the third race there would have been a serious accident but for the bravery of W. Cecil, driver of Central Girl. The horses were at the half pole, Central Girl a close third, wonen a line broke. She started to run, but Cecil gave a grand tunge and mounted her, ana with one rein be slowed the excited animal down. Mr. Cecil was the rccipient of great ap- plause when he reached the grand stand.

FRESNO OFFICER'S G0OD WORK. Single-Handed He Rounds Up a Gang of Robbers and Heads Them All for San Quentin. FRESNO, CaAn, Aug. 19.—One of the best pieces of detective work done in the valley in recent years has just come to light and reflects great credit upon the skill of an ex-Sheriff of Fresno County, 0. J. Meade, now a special officer of the Southern Pacific line, with headquarters at Bakersfield. On June 9 last, W. G. Whorburton, a capitalist of New York, died in a sleeping- car on the Southern Pacific line, near Goshen. His wife was with him at the time and had a hand valise with her in which she carried her money, jeweiry and valuable trinkets. She at once transferred the paper currency to her pocket, and while doing so some one snatched the handbag and made away with the other valuables. The Whorburtons were people of consequence in the East, and Mrs. Wherburton had the remains of her hus- band brought to Frcsno and embalmed and sent Eust for interment and accom- panied them on the same train, The rail- road authorities were aware that her hand- bag of valuables had been snatched by a thief through the window, but in her grief she was unable to give them any descrip- tion of the contents that had been stolen. On July 27 the Southern Pacitic Com- pany received from Mrs. Whorburton a letter enumerating the articies stolen and a description of them, and Special Officer Meade was detailed to trace the matter up. At this late date and with a fair de- scription of the property he took up this case, along with other matters, and with satisfactory results, as the sequel will show. On August 8 one of the parties, Jim Welsh, was_arrested in Tulare; on August 9, Jack Kelley was arresied in Vi- salia; August 11, John Maguire was ar- rested in Hanford, and August 18 Wil- liam Bonhard was arrested in the County Hospital at Vi-alia, In the meantime Meade had recovered a silyer hairbrush, a silver buttonhook, a valuable pair of eyeeclasses, a pearl-han- dled penknife and a gold hair ornament set with diamonds, all very valuable. Most of this property was recovered from women, to whom it had o en sold or pre- sented by the culprits. Kelley had his ex- amination before judge Holden of Visalia on the 17th inst., and was bound over to answer to the Superior Court, Welsh had his examination, also before Judge Holden, on the 18 h, and was also bound over to the Superior Court. After Welsh had been examined and bound over Kelley went before Judge Gray of the Superior Court of Tulare County and pleaded guilty to barglary in the first degree and was sentenced to San Quentin for six years. Maguire’s examination comes off to-morrow. He found that there was no use of trving to escape the toils and owned up. He then took Special Officer Meade toa weed patch about 500 yards from the Goshen station, where the valise was hidden with some of the less valuable of its content<. which are now in the possession of the officials. Itis said that the evidence secured by Meade against this gang is such as to con- vict those arrested. They have been car- rying on extensive operations for several months. e UTICA FLAMES UNDER CONTROL. Air in the Stickle Shaft Tested by Lowering a Dog—Tom Lane Hakes a Descent. ANGELS CAMP, CaL., Aug. 19.—Itis now considered a question of buta few hours when the flames of the Utica mine will be extinguished. A box flue was con- structed over the Utica ebait, and the gas and smoke drawn from this part of the mine by suction, while a heavy stream of water from the nozzle of a hydraulic giant was kept playing down the Stickle shaft. Karly this afternoon an experiment was made to test the quality of the air in the Stickle shaft by sending down a lighted candle, and later a lLive dog was chained to the cage and lowered tothe level where the fir« was discovered. The dog came back alive, but he was probably the worst scared dog on record when he reached the surface. About half-past 4 this afterncon Tom Lane and three others made a descent into the Stick'e shaft to station 34, a depth of about 700 feet, without accident, The gas and heat was very strong and their lamps were extinguished by the dripoing wter, but they succeeded in lo- cating the fire, and found that it had been confined to the slope where it started. The timbers of the slope are still smoldering and s portion has caved in. A hose has been rigged which will be joined to one of the maiu water pipes, and it is thought that the remainder cf the fire can be extinguished with little diffi- culty. The inhabitants of Angels and vi- cinity are much elated over the good news. L R - ecidentally Killy His Litile Sister. UKIAH, Can, Aug. 19.—Ella Iverson, the three-year-oid daughter of Mr. Iver son of Point Arena, was accidentally shot to-day by her brother Charles.

Irving Mann Is Released, but Will Be Needed in the Prosecution. | Apparition of the Murdered Man Nightly Invades the Cell of Dutcher. SAN JOSE, CaAL, Aug. 19.—District Attorney Herrington brought the Scho- field case before the Grand Jury to-day and a number of witnesses were exam- ined, mainly in relation to the conflicting statements made by Mrs. Schofield, Dutcher and Irving Mann, the nature of the wound which produced death and the position of the body upon the arrival of Dr. Higgins, Sheriff Lyndon, the Coroner and others. The District Attorney in taking this course was actuated by the laudable de- sire not only to systematize the proceed- ings but to save the county the unneces- sary expense of a preliminary examina- tion at a point eighteen miles distant from the county seat. The Grand Jury, after hearing the tes- timony presented to-day, found true bills of indictment against Mrs, Schotield and Dan Dutcher, leaving Irving Mann out of the prosecution. This action was faken after the adjournment of court. The in- dictment will be presented to-morrow morning. The ghost of George W. Schofield ap- peared to Dan Dutcher on Wednesday night in the Madrone jail and caused sleep to cepart and come no more. At least thatis the story which Duatcher told to Constable ¥ay when that officer opened the cell-door this morning. The prison- er's eyes were red with weeping and his face was gray and haggard. “Bull,” said he in a husky, tremulous voice, ‘‘he’s been with me all night.” “Who has been with you?’ asked the constaule. “Why, Schofield, of course. He walked up and down the room until daylight and I never slept a wink.” Fay advised him to correct his con- fession and tell the whole truth about the shooting, then the ghost might cease to walk. But Dutcher shook his head. He was not yet ready, he s2id, to make any further statement. Perhaps he would do 50 in time. In the forenoon he was brought to the county jail and placed in his old quarters. His old air of smiling bravado has left him and he is pale and serious-eyed. George Schotield, the 10-year-old son of Mrs. Schofield, has been located. He is in Soquel at the hovse of G. W. Hines, his grandfather. After leaving Madrone the boy went to Morgan Hill, where he re- mained until Tuesday morning, when he took the train for Santa Cruz. Mrs. Schofield says ste is a native of Tennessee, and that Stonewall Jackson, the great Confederate general, was her father’s grand-uncle. She is chafing under the restraint, though she believes that the delay in bringing the case against her to a legal issue is for the best. A point that is at present engaging the attention ot the prosecution is whether Dutcher was back of the shed when he killed Schofield or was bebind the wire fence which extends nearly on a line with the shed in a westerly direction. Irving Mann in his first confession stated that Dautcher was by the fence when he fired the rifle on Baturday morning. There the ground is several feet higher than at the woodshed door. To take aim at the fence at a person standing -at the shed door, a person must point a rifle or gun ata downward decline, whereas a shot from behind the eastern window of the shed must come from a rifle or gun pointed in a straignt, ornearly straight line. As the bullet entere¢ Schofield’s left eye and ranged downward, it is reasonable to sup- pose tha Irving Mann’s story is correct, and that Schofield was shot by Dutcher from behind the fence and not behind the shed. At the next court proceedings Irving Mann will be placed on the stand asa witness for the prosecution, There is & growing conviction in the minds of the officery that the reason which induced the fabrication of the story told by the three prisonersatthe Coroner’s inquest was fear of the consequences whicih might result if the truth were known. Tne District Attorney and the Sheriff believe that the truth has not yet come to light, and they are systematicaliy digging for it every day. e STAEBED WIIH a HATPIN, Outcome of @ Quarrel Between Two San Jose Boys. SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 19.—Robert Fel- ton, a 12-year-old boy, stabbed Jimmie Holmao, a companion a couple of years younger, in the cheek with a hatpin this morning in front of the Auditorium. The lads were plavinz in front of the theater when they quarreled over some trivial matter. Assoon as the deed was done young Felton ran_home, pursued by Hol- man. The wound iS not dangerous, and but siight inconvenience will be suffered by the boy. James Holman, father of the injured boy, this alternoon swore to a complaint before Justice Kirkpatrick charging the Felton boy with assault with a deadly weapon. The boy surrendered himself and was released on his own recognizance. S o Foreclosurs Swit . gainst Jucob Kich. SAN JOSE, CAL., Aug. 19.—The German Bavings and Loan Society of San Francis- co to-day began suit against Jacob Rich, formerly ownerof the First-street Electric Railwav, and Herman Levy to foreclose an $80,000 mortgage on a large number of lots in this city and several pieces of suburban property. The mortgage was giyen to secure a promissory note made November 22, 1202. Eight thousand dol- lars has been poid on the principal of the note. There is interest due since Decem- ber 17, 1896, at 7.9 per cent. ——— Salvationist Charged With Burglary. SBAN JOSE, Can, Aug. 19.—William Smith was brought back from San Fran- cisco to-day to answer to a charge of burg- lary. Smith was formerly a member of the Salvation Army and was rooming at the home of Mrs. Helen Brandon. He stole $20 from Mrs. Brandon and then left town. This cccurred in April of this year, but he wasnot located until the other day. Hot Wave Strikes Stockton in Streaks. STOCKTON, Can, Aug. 19.—At in- tervals yesterday and to-day a hot wave struck Stockton and speedily cleared the streets of padestrians. Yesterday the heat cut up queer antics, the hot air com- ing and going, but to-day the heat was intense ail the afternoon and of sucha nature that the old-timers who are used to a higher temperature here soughtu shady places, The hot air comes in streaks, for in one part of a block 1t would not be felt, while 1ifty feet away the air would be iike a blast from a furnace. b adbiiny KAPUS' BOGUS WJIUCHERS. New and Startling Turn Given to the Case—The Other Man Said to Be !mplicated. LO8 ANGELES, Car., Aug. 19.—A new and startling turn has been given to the now famous Kapus swindling game with bogus claim vouchers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, The young Napo- leon of finance has from the first main- tained that another man was really the head of the fraudulent scheme and that he was connected with the steamship company in San Francisco. This other man has been all along alivded to as C. Vincent, a pretended claim agent, but an impression has grown that Vincent was a myth, Dr. C. T. Pepper of this city, who has something iike $18,000 invested in the al- lezed fraudulent vouchers, is the only one of the many claim-nolders who in this cily saw the man introduced to him as Vincent, and the doclor has, since the ex- posure of the scheme, been looking for that man, whom he suspected as the arch- schemer. The doctor went to San Francisco. He did not see Vincent, but he did find a man alleged to have figured asthat much- wanted individual, and he is said to be George D. Graybell, until recently em- ployed as a clerk in the San Francisco ticket-office of Goodall, Perkins & Co., a position similar to the one formerly held by Kapusin this city. Graybell is said to be now in Balt Lake City. Advices from San Francisco are to the effect that Dr. Papper has in the Superior Court there filed an attachment_suit a-ainst George D. Grayville and J. W. Kapus to recover by civil procedure what be can to retrieve his 1os-es. Itsaid that the property sttached belongs to Gray- bell and consists of $12,000 worth of water- front lots at the foot of Powell street. Dr. Pepper usseris that Graybell is the man who, as 8. C. Vincent, claim agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, as- sured him that the vouchers offered him ata discount were good and would be paid by the company. There is a row on among the local holders of the Kapus vouchers, which ag- gregate in_face value anywhere from $40,000 to $70,000, for some of the victims assert that Dr. Pepper hus, in taking measures (o protect himself, outgeneraled them. They are making so much out of the circumstance of Dr. Pepper bringing suit in his own name, insteed of on behalt of the pooled interest, that some compli- cated litigation is bound to ensue, In the meantime a criminal prosecution of young Kapus is in abeyance. Holders of the Kapus vouchers will to- morrow send to Ban Francisco the papers for beginning action to declare George D. Graybell an ivsolvent debtor, hoping thereby to share in what may be gained from Dr. Pepper's attachment of the Powell-street lots. e LR o BRADBUKYS PECTED HOME, Iheir Los Angeles IResidencs 1s Being Put in Shape. LOS ANGELES, Car., Aug. 19.—Colonel John Bradbury and his wile are expected to arrive back in Los Angeles almost any day. Their house on the hill 1s being put in shape with new furniture and new servants, and there are other evidence of the early coming of its master. Colonel Bradbury is now visiting his mine at Rosarlo, Mexico, and will come home from that peint. The report that Colonel Eradbury s constrained to return home on account of depleted funds is scouted by those who know that he draws §1000 a month salary as president of the Bradburv mine, and that could, by close economy, be made to supply his needs. The attempt to stir up Los Angeles society on the question of bhow the Bradburys sheuld be received in the social circle was a failure for the reason that the so-called society is not seriously considering the subjectat all. e SUES H1S MOTHER-IN-LAW. Joseph Rogers Wants $20,000 for the sbduction of His Wife. LOS ANGELES, CAL. Aug. 19.—Joseph Rogers, whose wife left him three days after marriage and has since been eluding his pursuit, does not propose to resign himself to his forlorn condition. From the day his wife made her unceremonious de- varture, Rogers bas contended that her mother was the instigator of the de-ertion, if notactually the abductor of her daugh- ter. Though notes have come from her saying she did not love Rogers and assert- ing that she only married him because he exercised a bypnotic spell over her, the devoted husband charges all her unwifely actions to his mother-in-law. Failing in his attempt to reclaim his Annette, Mr. Rogersto-day began adamage suit against her mother, Mrs. Elmira Lewis, to recover $20,000 for enticing his wife away from him and harboring her. e Struchnine and Razor. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 19.—A mes- tizo, named H. 8. Smiley, living in that part of Los Angeles knewn as Dogtown, this evening gave to his ten-month-old boy baby a dose of sirychnine. Then he took a teaspoonful of the poison himself and cnt his throat with a razor. The cut was not sufficient to kill him, but the poison did iis deadly work shortly after he reached the Receiving Hospital. - BL3CK JAiCK’S BANDITS, Two Officers Killed in a Fight With the Gang. SILVER CITY, N. Mex., Aug., 19.— Later particulars of the raia made by Black Jack’s band of border bandits say that Black Jack, the notorious leader, was not killed as reported. At daybreak this morning he called a man named “Shorty” Miller to the door of his house, sixty miles west of here, and shot him down. A posse pursued, and about noou ran into the bandits in & small canyon. The posse was taken by surprise, but made a hard fight, in which Edward Moss was shot and in- stantly killed and Elgin Holt is reported missing. The bandits escaped and fled across the line into Socorro County. Sheriff McAfee and a posse are in pursuit. The men shot to-day are well known in this county. A Mg s TO CAMP AT PIsSMO BEACH.

GRAND CODNCIL OF THE Y.IL1 Business Before Yester- day’s Sessions at Santa Rosa. Flourishing Condition of the Organization Shown by the Reports. Electlon of Grand Officers Wiil Be He!d To-Day—Names of the Candlidates. SANTA ROSA, Can, Aug. 19.—“The days for business and the nights for feast- ing,” is the policy of the hundred or more brizht young delegates who are here at- tending the Grand Council of the Y. M. 1. This morning when Grand President Gillagher called the council to order scarcely a delegate was absent. The srand ball of the night previous had left no trace of weariness upon the features of the representatives from abroad, and they vroceeded to work in a manner which proved their hearts were in their task. The opening invocation was made by Rev. Father M. D. Slattery, the popular priest of the Napa parish. The prayer was brief and when it bad been concluded the roll was called and the minutes of Wednesday’s meeting were read and approved, The committee on credentials submitted a supplementary report, recommending that the following belated delegates should be seated: J. B. Couniban of Peta- iuma, N. C. Den of Santa Barbara, F. J. Cavanagh of Virginia City, T. J. Riordan of Balinas, G. Schwamm of Los Angeles, G. W. Lentz of Virginia City, Charles Brossart of Los Angeles, P. Princevalle of Menlo Park, R. J. Fitzgerald of Grass Valley, and John Riley and J. J. O'Toole of San Francisco. The report was unani- mously adopted. A letter from Mrs. Margaret Deane, grand president of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society, in which she expressed the bope that the Y. M. I. would continue to advance and prosper, was read, ana the grand secretary was instructed to_ac- knowledge its receipt and convey to Mrs. Deane the thanks orthe council.

HANFORD, CarL, Aug. 19.—Jacob Wil- son, aged 52 years, an employe of the Fe- licla Vineyard Company here, to-day re- ceived information that a lawsuit he had begun in New York in 1886 to recover $750,000, which he claimed as his portion of his father’s estate, had been decided by the United States Supreme Court in his favor. Wilson has been in this locality about three months, and has been working on the Valley road until about a week ago, when he went to work in the vineyard. Wilson was born in New York in 1845 of very rich parentage, his father being a banker and broker on Wall street and his mother having considerable in her own name. He was a roving lad, despite his opulent environment. After having re- ceived an eaucauion atv Princeton and a coarse in the Columbia Law School he left home and went to Melbourne, Aus- tralia, where he remained for fifteen years. He then returned to the United States and staved for fifteen vears, after which he returned to Australia and stayed there until 1883, when his father died in New York, leaving an estate valued at $15,000,- 000 to be distributed between five heirs, excluding Jacob, whom they thought to be dead. When his mother died she left $350,000 with trustees to be given to him in case he came back. He returned in 1886, and the trustees of the estate refused him his portion of the money on the ground that he was an alien, He brought suit against the trustees and the Superior Court of New York decided in bis favor. The de- fendants appealed to the United States Circait Court and the same decision was rendered. Tley then appealed to the Su- preme Court of the United States, and the news received is that a decision in Wil son’s favor was rendered there. Wilson teft for Fresno to-night and will soon go East to receive his fortune. —_——-— STATE EQUiLIZEKS DIVIDED, Probability That San Francitco W4l Be Rai.ed 20 Per Cent. SACRAMENTO, Car., Aug. 19.— The State Board of Equaligation this afternoor voted to cite San Francisco, Tulare, Sac- ramento, Siskiyou, Sonoma, Fresno, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, San Joaquin, Stanis- laus and Butte counties. An attempt was made to cite Alameda and Santa Clara counties, but Colgan was absent and the vote resulted in a tie —~Beamer and Arnold voting aye ana Chesebrough and More- house voting no. It is more than likely that Alameda will be taken up again Monday, wben Chesebrough may change his vote from no to aye. When the equalizers mef this afternoon they were plainly divided as to the taking up of the question of the cita- tion of counties. Beamer was anxious to proceed and made a motion to that effect, but there was no second. Chesebrough moved to postpone until Monday, but there was no second. Beamer then moved in turn to cite San Francisco, Alameda and Tulare, and Morehouse seconded the mo- tlon to cite Tulare. The motion was car- ried by the votes of Arnold, Morehouse and Beamer, Chesebrough voting no. Arnold then seconded Beamer’s motion ite Alameda. He and Arnold voted and Chesebrough and Morehouse no. Santa Clara met with a like result. The rest of the couaties cited were cited by the votes of Arnold, Beamer and More- house, Chesebrough assiduously voting no. It is understood that Arnold, Beamer and Morehouse will vote to raise San ‘rancisco at least 20 per cent. DR ey Fentura ewspapers Consolidate.

DBARK HATILDA - GOES ASHORE Runs on Tatoosh Island and Is Fast Break- ing Up. Will Prove a Total Loss, but No Fatalities Are Re- ported. For Many Years the Vessel Has Plied Bstween Pugset Sound anda Hawall. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasq., Aug. 19.— Word reached here this morning to the effect that at 2 P. M. the bark Matilda, in- ward bound, had gone ashore at Tatoosh Island and is in a dangerous position. It is said that no fatalities accompanied the accident. John B. Libby of the Puget Sound Tugboat Company received a mes- sage later on from Captain Gove of the tug Tyee confirming the accident at the hour announced and bringing the ad- ditional information that the vessel was fast going to pieces and would prove a total loss. The Matilda was one of the best known vessels visiting these waters, having been for many years employed as a lumbei- carrier between Puget Bound and the Hawaiian Islands. She was a bark-rigged craft of 819 tons, built in Searsport, in 1857, and was originally an East-coast packet. Some years later she came around to this coast, and on a voyage to Hono- lulu met with disaster. She was con- demned and Captain Calhoun purchased l‘:erk changing the rig from a ship to a ark. The vessel's career has been one of trouble and tribulation, accidents galore marking her history. A conspicuous ac- cident in her history occurred just a year ago, while the yessel was being towed from here to Port Blakeley to load a carzo of lumber. When the time came to change the watch Captain Svenson was nowhere to be found. A search of the vessel re- vealed his body at the bottom of the hold, into which he bhad pitched headlong in the darkness. Just when the accident oc- curred no one knows, for the unfortunate captain was dead when found. CRUSHLD 10 DEAIH Hsavy Wagon Passes Over the Head of o Stockton Boy. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 19.—With his head and face crushed beyond recogni- tion little Eddie Battilana, a seven-year- old boy, was lifted off the street this morning and carried to his home to drive his father and mother almost crazy. A heavy wagon loaded with grain had passed over him and death was instan- taneous. At 9 o'clock this morning a long grain team of twelve horses, to which were attached four wagons, lumbered along_Center street. It was one of the many country trains which come to town loaded with graimn, The team was driven by a man named Thomas Freeiand, and owned by M. Foster, the Atlanta rancher. As it reached the junction of Center street and the French Camp toll road several little boys, after their usual custom, boarded the wagons. The driver warned them to get off, and all did so but little Battilana. He jumped on the back-action tongue of the last wagon and was thrown beneath the wheels, Sl i Faoe Iiot as Roslyn.
