The cross inside the front room by the door shows where Hoz’mll fell, riddled with bullets. The cross on the porch indicates the spot where Deputy Sheriff Radford died. In the left-hand corner, as indicated by circled cross, rested a double- barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. If the highwayman had time to get this gun both Deputy Sheriffs would have lost their lives. Between the bed and the door, not more than one foot, stood the wife and little girl of the robber, the little two-year-old tot clinging piteously to her father’s leftleg. They escaped unharmed. YREKA, CAL., Oct. 15.—The body of Siskiyou’s Under Sheriff, who was murdered by the bandit at Delta yesterday, has been at the Radford home all day and has been viewed by a large number of friends. The funeral has been set for next Sunday morning, and will be one of the largest ever held in the county. Radford was the man who defied the mob which hanged four men in this place over two years ago, refusing to give up the keys and compelling the mob to break into the jail. He has a family of five children and a widow. He was a native of England, aged 58 years. he performance | City,” the plaster- » center of the .5 of the venpleteated in the parquet, | e was jairly well filled but not | PR e 0 e e e e e e e e Rk e R R K PEPPPRRTT PR RPN e X % | The Harbor Board met in special session in small particles at FRERIRIIAREARHAR I AR IR A I ISR AR KA IAR KRR KRR ARARRRARARIRRKARA KRR KRR A KA KRR AR A KAKARRAKIKKREIK AR KAAARRKAKAAKKRKARAX | yesterday alternoon to await the opinion form some of Ihe | gres central truss of the ceiling, 80 feet | Hospital.
