[&] FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28 ton served the ejectment notice on young Flannelly, who was attheranch, and then rode to town. His father’s action seemed to arouse all the evil in the younz man’s nature, for balf an hour later he rode up to the door of nis father’s house and tying his horse at the gate entered. The bouse is a two-story coitage, with 8 neat garden about it. A sister of the yman opened the door. Striding past her without a word the murderer strode | up t!e stairs to the bedroom occupied by Parick Flannelly. Although it was early the ola man had already retired, as was Lis custom. Just what happened between father and son no one but the latter knows. Itis be- lieved that the subject of the ejectment was the topic of conversation between the men. The posit:on in waich the body of the old man was found aiter the bullets trom the son’s pistoi had robbed it of hife would indicate that Patrick Flannelly had sat up in bed and faced the murderer. He may even havedevined the murderous intention of his boy and have attempred to get out of bed when the fatal shots ruck him, for his body lay across the bed with tue head close to the wall and the feet dangling a few inches above the floo The men had been talking about fifteen minutes, for at the end of that time the oiher occupants of the house heard cries :nd then the pistol shots.

The | Sher:if then sent two of his men, Thomp- son and Barton, to wateh the window st | the back of Fianneily’s bedroom to pre- | veni the escape of the murderer that way. Butts, who was armed with a sawed doupie-barreled shotgun, was left to hoiu the nhorses and to keep a watch on the front door ot the house to frustrate any at- tem;t of the murderer to escape by that avenie, McEvoy and Mansfie!d went into the kitchen and thenc: to the dining- room, where a lamp was burning. The officers expected trouble and had their re- volvers ready. The door leading to the bedroom which was occupied bv Flannelly was <hut, but The Sneriff was slightly in advance of hisdeputy. He approacuea the door and called ouit: “A:eyou in there, Tom? Comeout; we want you.” There was no response and the officer repeated in a louder tone. **Wait a minute,” came the answer from the man within. The cfficer waited, but as_Flannelly did not make his appearance dicEvcy kicked open the door. As it flew vuck against the partition the beams from the lamp turewthe officers in bold relief and made | them conspicuous obj:cts to the mur- derer, who, in the semi-darknessof the 100m, had a great advantage, for while he could see them plainly they could nct make out his iorm, as he sat vn the bad, which was atone side and in the far ena of the room. As soon as the door swung open Flan- | nelly fired, the bullet from his Winchester | strikinz McEvoy 1n the arm and plowing its way through the flesh up to the shoul- der. Mansfield, who stood a little to the right of the Sheriff, was also struck by the bail that wounded his superior. McEvoy dropped bLis pistol when hit and stepped into the ballwav out of range | of the murderer's gun and began to grope about the floor for his weapon. Flanneliy, who was wrapped in blankets, did not lose any time after the first shot, but kept pumping lead in the direction of the offi- cers. M eid was not idie. His pistol | spoke simuitaneously with the second shot from Flannelly’s rifle. Then thers | ensued a perfect fusillade at short range. | The smoke hung in the air, partially cb- scuring the light from ihe lamp. Sheriff M s search for his pistol DrovIng ui g he shouted to Butts to bring in tie sho'gun. The deputy hur. ried to the aid of the Sheriff, but before the shotzun was brought into play Fian- neily cailed out: “Don’t use the shotgun; come and take me.”’ A Deputy Sheriff rushed into the room and pinioned Flannelly to the bed. He said nothing. An examination showed that he was bleeding from several wounds about thebody. Two ofthe balls had sunk into the large muscles behind the shou'- ders, a bullet had hit him in the left fore- arm, and traversing the biceps lodged in the shoulder. The other three missiles had entered his legs at widely different points. The officers thought that they had ac- counted tor all the bullets, but an exam- ination of the bedclothes brought to.ngnt six more leaden missiles which found their way into the bedclothes from the guns of tha officers. In the headboard of the bed were three bulilet holes which testified to the marks- manship of the Sheriif and his brave deputy. The holes were in line and about the height of Fiannelly’s head as he sat in the bea and pumped bullets at tne officers. Tue officers enzaged in the fight were lionized bv the people this morning. Sheriff McEvoy’s wound isa painful one and he suffered agony all night. He is being at.ended by Drs. Barrett and Ross, who are u peiul that no serious conse- quences will result. The S:eriff’s young wife is constantiy by his side, n:inist: ring 10 his comfort. She was married to him lest July in San Francisco, and every- body iu the town sy mpathizes with her in the first «ffiiction of her weuded life, Mansfieid’s wound gives him but little trouble. Hb was about «8 usnal to-day, servin legal papers, and regards his in- juries as of no more importance than mere scratches, Patrick Flannelly was well known and respected here. The little rose-embow- ered cottage was in gloom to-day, and mourning friends pass back and forth to pay their respects to the dead and offer sympathy to the living. Tue funeral will iake place this morn- ing at 8 o'ciock from the family residence. The interment wili bs at Holy Cro s Cem- etery. The deceased 1 aves a widow and seven cbi dren to mourn him.

FRESND LOCKS HORSS WITH HONTINGTON Written Demand That Streets Be Opened Across the Railway. Southern Pacific Ccmpany An- nounces That It Will Rasist the City Trustees. atch to THE CALL. FRESNO, Oct. 27.—The City Trustees heli a special meeting this evening and prepared a written demand on the South- ern Pacific Railroad Company, that it open all the streets across its tracks which run through the center of the city. The company is requested to give deeds for all the crossings and 10 open Mariposa sireet, the city’s principal thoroughfare, which 1s now closed. The railroad company has signified its intention of resisting any attempt on the part of the city to extend any more streets across 1ts tracks. The particular peint of | contention the opening of Mariposa | street, a crossing for which would be only a few yards from the passenger depoi. The City Trustees think thatthe main streets should not be obstructed, and the Southern Pacific veople say that the crossing would seriously interfere with the switching in the yard. Both sides have iaken determined atti- tuues in the matter, and an interesting fight is promis d. The railroad peop e say they will bear part of the cost of an overhead bridge, but this the Trustees will not have. A serious question has been raised as to the city’s title toany street crossings— | even those that are now open. A cerinin aeed filed by Charles Crocker in 1873 pur;orts to transfer the right of way, but upon inv-stigation the instrument ap- pesrs to be defective in several respects. The maiter will undoubtedly go to the couris, Pablic sentiment is about equally di- vided =s to ihe opening of Mariposa streer, but the majority of the Trusiees are in fuvor of tbe movement, —_——— Found Drad on a Highway.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—Hurry Lathrop, brottier of Mrs, Leland Sianford, came 0 New York recently and touk up his abode at the Bartholdi Hotel, which now is Judge Van Wyck’s headquarters. Strange tosay each night for a week he found he was minus a scarfpin. Mr. Lathrop has a collection of scerfpins which are famous from the Ciiff House to the Palace Hotel for their size and beauty, but he was not equal to thi< unusual strain, and he al- lowed the police to inquire into th= matter. This solves a mystery waich has puzzled many visitors to the Bartholdi of A dozen central oftice detectives have b-en observed about the hotel at all hours of the day and night. The thou- sand or more visitors who called upon Mr. Van Wyck have all passed under close scrutiny of the men from Mulberry street. 8o numerous and pervasive were the de- tectives that the hotel servants were on the point of enterinz an indigznant pro- test when all the officers disappeared as suddeniy as they had come. The manager refused to discuss the czuse, but Mr. Lathrop gave the informa- tion here related. Possibly the Califor- nian has recovered his scar{pins or pos- sibly he persuaded the detectives that the loss was not worth their efforts, for he said last nicht: *Yes, 1 lost a few of the choicest speci- mens of my collection of scarfpins, but it is oniy a trifle—a mere trifle, not worth telking abour.” DIGKSON'S TRAGEC DEATH RECALLED Suit Brought by the Adminis- trator of the Suicide’s Estate. Attempt to Break a Contract on the Ground That He Was an Incompstent. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 27.—Witness after witness nas gone upon the stand to-day in Judge Angellotii’s court and sworn that he believes tbat George E. Dickson, who ended his life by cutting nis throat with a razor in the Central Hotel hers last Jauuary, was insane some time before he committed the act. The case, which 1s being tried in the Superior Court, is de- ci-eily interesting. It is brought by Wi ham J. Dickson, as adm:nistrator of the estate of George E. Dickson, against Amanda 8mith and others. Amanda Smith is a woman of some business abilily, and, with a view to mak- ing mouey, conducts a resort at Ross Landing, in Marin County. In Octorer, 1894, she morigaced her prorerty at R ss to George E. Dickson for $5635, and gave him ber promissory note. Th:ings ran along some time when, interest having accrueq, Dickson told Mrs. Smith that he | wanted money and made a proposition to her in writing that if she would pay $3000 ne would accept that in fall payment and release her from her obliga:ions to him. Mrs. Smith, thankiul or this easy way of paying a large aebt, obtained the neces- sary §3000, but in the meantime Dickson commiited suicide. He drew the keen edge of & razor across his throat and bled to death before aid could reach him. Then Mrs. Smith went to William J. Dickson, brother of the dead man and sdministrator ot his estate, offered the $3000 and asked to be released from lier obligations. The administrator reiused to accept that sum, ana instituted pro- ceeaings against Mrs. Smith to compel her to pay the entire sum, including the accruea interest. The relatives of the dead manr claim he was out of his mind—in fact, had been acting strangely for some time—and con- sequently he was not capable of entering into a contract with Mrs. 8mith. To prove this they are calling numerous wit- nesses to testify that Dickson acted strange. Thecase goes on to-morrow. HEROIC RESCUE AT SEA. Twenty-Cne French Fishermen Picked Up at Midnight by the Crew of a Cunarder. QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 27.—The Cunard line steamer Catalonia, Captain Stephens, from Boston October 16 for Liverpool, ar- rived here this evening, baving been de- layed by the heavy weather which has prevailed recentiy in the Atlantic.

The rescue of the crex of the Vague was a very hazardous proceeding. Two boats manned by volunteers were lowered from the Catalonia in the midale of the night, The sea was running very high atthe time and the sky was pitch dark. Aftera desperate battle with the waves the French fishermen were taken off the sinking schooner and landed safely on board the Cunarder. g e iy BOMB WRECKS HIS HOUSE.

O’Brien Attempts to Smuggle a Drug Into the Prison. Had Been Relessad but a Few Days Ago After Serving T:me for Burglary. Epectal Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN QUENTIN, Oct. 27.—While at- tempting to smuggle a pound of opium into the prison early this morning Micha»] O’Brien, 2n ex-convict, was detected by zuards and placed under arrest. To-day, before Justice of the Peace George Rod- den in San Rafael, Sergeant Edward V. Eilis of San Quentin swore to a warrant for O'Brien’s arrest upon a charge of *‘car- rying and taking into the grounds of -the State Prison at 5an Quentin written and other communications without the con- sent or permission of the Warden or other ofticers having permission to zive it."” O'Brien was brought to San Rafael from the prison this morning in handcuffs and given up to the Mar.n County official . He was taken beiore Justice Roaden, where he pleaded guiity, and this after- noon was sentenced to 120 days' impris- onment in the County Jail. It appears from the recordsof the prison that O'Brien wes released from San Quen- tin penitentiary only last Thursday, hav- ing served a term for burglary. In the letter which be attempted to get into the prison with the opium he stated that he had purchased the “dope” with the money which had been piven him when he quit the penal institution. It is a rule that Wwhen a prisoner who has been confined in the penitentiary is released he is given $5in money. 1t was this sum that O'Brien used with which to purchased the opium. It was about 1 o'clock this morning when the guards patrolling the prison grounds noticed an object moving in the yard surrounding the Warden’s house on the hill overlooking the front ol the prison. An investization was instituted, and re- sulied in Guard Quizley placicg O'Brien under arrest. As the cuard approached he noticed O'Brien tear up a letter and th1ow the rieces to the wind. O'Brien was not quick enough to do away with all the evidence, and a search of his per- son revealed tweive envelopes containing orium in a powder, and also a letier which was to the effect that ten of the en- ve opes were for some convict on the in. side of the prison, while the *lifter” or the man who took it to him should have two for his trouble, O’ Brien’s purpose was to bury the opium at an sgreed-upon spot jin the Wardeu’s front yard, where the convict who worked in the garden would find it, and, coaceal- ing it upon his person, carry it inside the walls of the peniten:ary.

Speciai Dispatch to THE CALL. FRESNO, Oct. 27.—Eli Vandement to- day made application to the County Clerk for a license to marry Mrs. May Morgan of Kingsburg. When informed that the bride-elect was divorced from her former husband last February Deputy Clerk Williams refused to issue the li- cense. He did this after consulting Dis. trict Attorney Snow. Williams based his action on the law passed by the last Legis- ture—prohibiting a divorced person from marrying agatn within a year after the order of separation. Vandement at once began a suit in the Superior Court for a writ of mandate to compel the County Clerk to issue the li- cense. Vandement wouid have no delays, either, and as every one concerned was only too glad 10 accommodate the man Judze Riley set the hearing of the case for to-morrow, It appears likely that Vandement will obtain his license, as almost al. lawyers are of the opinion thai the new iaw, wnich was passed in April, does not appiy to this case, as it would amount practically to ex- post facto law. District Attorney Snow gave no opinion, and he asnd Deputy Clerk Willlams merely decided to have & test ca-e and -ettle the question. The new act, which hus caused so much annoyence 10 couples matrimonialiy in- clined, has given rise to a number of legal complications in vur.ous counties, and test cases are pending ail over the State. Ot course if Vandement and Mrs, Mor- 2an fail to obtain the license the tugboat foute is open to them.

McKenzie had taken up and magnified. Judge iorrance said he hourht the plaintiff was fully entitied to $1.00 casn for the injury to her reputation and her feelings. One of the witnesses to-day was the Rev. P Kipp, pastor of the First Pres- byterian church, of which Miss McLean is a2 member.
