BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 19. — Jobhn C. Davis, a man who lived constantly in dread of death by foul means, lies in the morgue here to-night with a buallet in his brain. Around the identity of the assassin there hangs a cioak of mystery that few believe will ever be drawn fe. Davis was killed instant!y last night at 8:30 v’clock and it is cert that he never knew he was in immediate danger or that a foe bent on murder was near him. He was a barber by trade, and that hour he closed his sbop and, in company with Morris Borgwardt, brother of the Sheriff of tnis county, started for home. Just beyond the business portion of the city Borgwardt entered bis house. Davis went around the corner of the block and had not gone over a hundred feet when he fell from a wound in the left temple. So close e pisto! held that the powder rned ceep into the flesh and turned it black in a circle five inches in diameter. The weapon could not have been more than four inches from his face when fired. Borewardt heard the shot and came out of his pack door and listened. He heard a man run across the Panama Slough bridge aud called out: 4 ou being h-ld up, Davis?’ No reply came, and as the footsteps died away in the direction of Davis’ h a block to the north, Borgwardt bec some one’s dog and run away. He wen: vack into his house and knew nothing of he rder until this morning, when he lea that his companion of last night had been slain and had lain for six hours a few steps of his yard. . Davis, knowing her husband’s fear veing killed, waited anxiously for his coming until 10 o’clock. Then it was she remembered ths pistol-shot early in the evening and hurried across ths street to alarm Frederick Wilson and beg him to ge out and look for her husband. Wilson did so and followed the route usaally truveied oy Davis in going to znd from bis shop. Hewent up to the shop, looked around for him, and then retraced his sieps, of r g no trace of him he, too, ame alarmed and made a thorouzh ch of the neighborhood. At last, at :30 o'clock this morning, he discovered the body in the shadow of the Baptist church on the south side of the slough, but not close enough to it for the assassin o have hidden in the bushes. A near- by telephone pole probably screened the raurderer from detection until his victim was against the muzzle of his revoiver, when the trigger was pulled and Davis fel, The body was Iyinz on its back, feet crossed as though Davis had balf turned be- as he fell.

While a groupof men was standing over the body Mrs. Davis, hearing their voices, arried down to the bridge and was met v Night Watchman Tibbet. She said to m *I know my husband was killed, for I heard the shot. He 1s dead near kLere and they have hidden him in the bushes.’’ She was taken home and the truth withheld from her until this morning.

He came to Bakerstield three years ago from Fresno, and indirectly from Stockton. What this life may bave been and what enemies he made before coming here no one seems 1o know, ana his wife is too deeply affected by nis death to talk, or tell what she knows, if anything, which might throw suspicion on the proper person, or explain from what quarter her husband expected deaih. here since the 1 the orchard« is the general to Fresno was so great that some lime ago he hired a lawyer to go to that city and look after some simple matters of business rather than expose himseif to the unknown dangers which lurked in that Davis was the first man 1o cut the price of shaving to 10 cents in Bakerstield, and since doine so he had repeatedly refused to join a comn ne and raise prices to their former scale, the last refusal being about three weeks azc. On this account he was unpopular with the members of his trade, and once or twice his place has been threatened by incendiary fires and more or less demolished by unknown enemies. Many believed this was due to his action in regard to cutting rates, but in view of tbe iragedy «f iast night the popuiar be- Jief is that he was followed by a toe whose grievance, whatever it was, weighed on his mind until atlempts at petty annoy- ance no longer satisfied and murder alone would do.

Special Dispatch to THE CaLL CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Whether to risk being held to the Grana Jury on a charge of assault or to part with a vortion of his cuticie so that his victim may benefit by a skin-grafting overation is the alterna- tive which faces Paul Ozyet, a 14-year-old lad, who two weeks ago threw hot water on Anton Kwytke, scalding bim so se- verely that an operation is made impera- tive. In Justice Sabath’s court to-day the boy was given his choice of two evils snd al- lowed until October 28 to consider the proposition. He lives with his parents at 1818 Forty-eigh.h street, and was em- ployed by the Wing Nickei Piating Com- pany. Anton lives in the same vicinity | ana was employea by the same concern. Two weeks ago tae boys had some diffi- cilty while at work in the shon and Paul in a fit of anper seized a bucket oi boiling | waier and threw it upon Anton.

Oct. 19. — Consul | O'Hara, at San Juan ael Norte, Nicara- | gua, bas made a further report, supple- menting the one made last summer, con- cerning a contract made with the Atlas | Steamship Company by the Government | of Nicaragua. In the formerd sratchitap- | peared that an Italian, F.T. Pellas, owned all the boats on the San Juau River and | Lake Nicaragua, also a mschine-shop which formerly belonged to the Maritim- Canal Company. Although the cons:itu- tion of Nicaragua provides that no exclu- sive contracts shall be granted the con- trect .of the Government with the Atlas Company provides that for thiriy years the company shall have the exclu-ive right to navigate by sieam the Silico La- zoon; that for the same time it shall have | the exclus:ve right to construct tramways | and railways along the San Juan River route to avoid obstacles in the river, and | that for thirty years the Government | shall not grant sub-idi»s to sny other steamship line on Lake Nicaragua. The other concessions to the Atlas Company were considered extremely favorable, In bis dispatch, just received by the dep:rtment, Consul O'Hara says that a survey has been made of the Silico La- goon and track work will commence this month. Mr. Peilas, who owned the steam- boats, and Louis Wichmann, agent of the Atlas Company, have gone to Managua to secure a modification of the contract of the company with the Government, the company having asked modifications be- fore closing the purchase of the boats from Pellas. They had not, at the time the last d1.patch was sent, accomplished their mission, but it was not known whether the failure was attributabie to the Gov- ernment’s disinclination or because the recent political trouble aiv Granada en- grossed tne attention of the officials. During the Granada outbreak a small party of insurgents forcibly 100k posses- sion of Pellas’ lake steamer Victoria, but ~ubsequently abandoned her and the Gov- ernment 100k pos-ession of her. Agents and employes of Pellas at Granada ‘and Custillo were arrested, but on what charges is not known. A mail just received from the interior brings a rumor that the Government has | tmpo-ed a fine of $100,000 on Pellas, and | embargoes his boais 10 secure payment. A private jetter siated that Pellas was unab'e to learn from the Government why his property had veen sdized, und ne would appeal to the Italian Government.

In the contract with Pelias, as in that with the Atias Company, ihe Government reserved the right to take possession of the boa's during a time of | war and to compen-ate the owner. e—— Cresds of Manford Frecimen.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—The meeting of Catholic Archbishops to consider ques- tions of policy and adm nistration of the church in America and to pass upon the affairs of the Catholic University has brcught iogether a notable assembiage of Catholic digniiaries. All of the promi- nent figures of the church are represented, including Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Martineili, the papal deegate, Arch- bishop Corrigan of New York, Archbishop Irelard of St. Piul, Archbishop Ryan of Pniladelphia, Archibishop Williams of Boston, Archbishop Chappelle of Sania Fe, Archbishop Keane, the American rep- resentative at Rome, Archbishop Rioraan of S8an Francisco, Bishop Farley of New York, Bishop Foley of Detroit, Bisaop Horstman of Cleveland, Bishop Maes ot Covington, Bishop Hogan of Erie, Bishop Revun, Bishop Prendergast, Monsignors Gnffin, McMahon and Sbaretti. The meeting of the directors of the uni- versity b gins at 10 A. M. to-mcrrow. Un- usual interest is attached to the meeting, owing to reports that charges would be preferred against Mer. Schroder, who oc- cupie« the chair of dogmatic theology in the university, with a view to his removal. Mgr. Schroder has been a conspicuous member of the faculty, owinz in part to his identification with the Ge man mem- bership of the church and his efforts to establish a chair of German languages, oward which many German societies have contributed. It developed in the course of the discus- sion of the subject that Mgr. Schroder had received assurances from Rome which, in the opinion of his friend~, will be decisive in putting an end toany move- ment toward his removal. It was stated by those conversant with the controversy | that this assurance was in the form of a lett er from the Pope in substance stating that Mgr. Schroder must not be disturbed in his present field of work. The icitiai feature of the gathering of c hurchmen occurred at the University chapel this afternoon, when Dr. Conaty, r ector of the university, was invesiea with the title dignity of a mousignor. The as- sembied prelates wore their robes of office. Vice-Rector Garrigan read the papal brief, in whici tiie Pope 1akes occasion o pay a high tribute to Dr. Conaty, giving bim absoiution, making him a Roman prelate of the pontifical household, with the titie of monsignor. Cardinal Gibbons performed the cere- mony of investiture and Archbishop Keane made the add. The Archhishop spoke of his long service wi:h the univer- sity, of its Americanism and of the sup- port which the Pope had given it at all times. . In ghis connection Archbishop Keane said that when he went to Rome a year ago, the Pope said to him that the whis- perings then current against the univer- sily were that they were inspired by men who were enemies, notonly of the Archbishop, but of the university—refrac- taries, who oppose the nolicy of the Pope. He would show, the Pope said, by the manner he treated the Archbishop, how e bonored and trusted the university. Monsignor Conaty delivered an addres« acknowledging the houor conferred upon him, and outhining the aspirations of the universiiy. Later Archbishop Keane addressed the students, placing beiore them a high ideal of citizenship and manhood.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL REDDING, Oct, 19 —A sensational re- scene of the recent double trasedy at Delta, connecting the name of William Henry Harrall, the dead bandit, with the mysterious disappearance of two pros- vectors named Henetz and Davis, who were either murdered or accidentally drowned about two years ego near Slate Creek, some three mlles above Delta. It is said that among Harr: effects has been found evidence of his guilt. Wilen it was discovered that these two miners had vanisned tbeir tools and outfit there was a great commotion, and the news was telegraphed toall quarters.

Henetz left the county and I have never heard of him since.” Joe Earnest, who is now and was then Coroner of Shasta C,unty, remembered all the details as related by Sheriff Hous- ton.

He with a bullet hole in it had been found, that murder had been committed, and since the double tragedy at Delta he was more than ever convinced that the theory of murder, and for gain, was the only ten- able proposition. “Besides the shirt,” said Ernest, “one of the prospectors’ has was found, which ssion of tue Sher:!
