Flees in Company With the Woman Who Caused His Downfall. Neglected to Turn in Money Re- celved From Holders of City L censes. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. Town Marshal Wil- Selma has disap- about $500 of the nicipaliiy’s funds. He has not been beard of since last Thursday, when he left for the north, accompanied by two women, one of whom wae the cause ot his downfali. The Marshal is a young man, being between and 30 years old, He has alwavs had a reputation for honesty up to the preseut time and his most intimsate associates are much surpriscd at learning that he is a defauiter. During the last six wesks Delashmutt has frequently visited Fresno, and several times remained for a number of days. A female friend seemed to be the atiraction, and as he was not known to gamble it is believed that she had something to do with his downfall. Delashmutti received $10 a month as City Marshai and was a deputy under Constable R. E. Zimmerman. His dep- utyship raised his monthly income to about $40. This isnot a larze enough in- come to satisfy 8 man with luxurious tastes, but as the marshal was single and apparently economical his friends imag- ined that he was iiving within bis means. One explanation of the shortage is that while coliecting city licenses it was cus- tomary for the Marshal to pay his b lis by giving a receipt for the license. It seems that the merchants used this means of securing the payment of their accounts FRESNO, Nov.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL. FRESNO, Nov. 7.—Hi Schell is in the county jail, charged with grand larceny. He is said to be implicatea in the stealing of certain horses from Fresno and vicin- ity, and if the surmises of the flicers are correct they have the ringleader of a dar- ing bina of thieves. Constable Shas and his deputies, Will Henry and Con Angel, as well as Daputy Sheriffs L. P. Timmins and P. F. Peck, have all besn quietly in- vestigating the mystericus disappearance of so many horses during the past thiee months, and evidence has been obtained of the existence of a bind of horse thieves, who work in an industrious and cunning manner. Schell has a pasture on Laguna de Tache grant, south of here, and this has served as a rendezvous and resting-place while the thieves were ruunning the horses out of the county. The horses were taken from the pasture when convenient in towns in the southern part of the vailey. If the officers were too alert for the disposal of a stolen animal in this lley it was driven across the coast mounteins and so d. Atone timeSchell hed sixteen horsesin this pasture, and it is suspected that most of them were stolen. Three horses stolen from this county were found in Bakers- field, and they were sold about October 1 by Schell. It was discovered that another horse had been so'd, and it is likely that the animul is one that had been stolen. e PRINCE HENRY BUARIED AT SEA. Story Started by Sailors That Has Caused Princess Beatrice a Great Deal of Worry. NEW YORK, Nov. 7.—A World cable ‘When Prince Henry of Battenberg died on a British warship off the west coast of Africa it was siatea the embalming process had to be aban- doned owing to rapid decomposition. Consequentiy the casket was not opened on arrival in England. A correspondent now hears from 2 trustworthy source that the widowed Princess Beatrice received information recently that the body ot her | husband not only was not embalmed, but actually was buried at ses, and that the casket which was brought home and put in the tomb with pomp and ceremony st Whittingham Church was empty. This seemingly incredible tale was related with 80 much circumstance that the Princess has asked leave of the Queen to have the casket opened in order to set her doubts at rest. But Queen Victoria refused to consent to this course, and the refusal has greatly strengthened the be- lief prevalent on the Isie of Wight that Poince Henry's body is not in the crypt of Whittingbam Church at all, but long ago was food for fishesin the Atlantic. The story of the burial at « riznated with the sailors on board the warship on which Princy Henry died. Yoleano Kesidence Destroyed. VOLCANO, CAL., Nov. 7.—Supervisor A. B.

Siy That His ObjJact Was to Di!s- pose of Th:m and Steal the Schaooner. Special Dispatch 10 THE CALL. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 7.—The schooner Anita was expected to arrive in port to- | day from Santo Domingo and San Quin- tin, having on bo:rd H. M. A. Milter of San Francisco and the three miners who claim to have been poisoned by Captain Hall of the schooner Grace. Miller and another San Francisco capitalist outfitted Hall and the miners to make an epedition | to Santa Rosalia, this side of Santa Do- minzo, to devalop certain prospects that Hall claimed to have discoversd. Chief Russell is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Anita, as evidence is expected that will justify the arrest of Captain Hal! on the charge of attempted murder as well as that of grand larceny. Hall 1s Iying seriously ill of pleurisy at the Marine Hospital, and his sickness is likely to develop into pneumonia. A police of- ficer is detailed to watch him day and night, as he is considered to be the trick- iest and most dangerous criminal handled by the local police for a long time. Miller wired from San Quintin to Chief Russell, asking him 1o arrest and hold Hall for attempteda murder and grand larceny. Theattempted murder was the poisoning of the three miners and the sailor Barney Wilson on the scnouner Grace on the way to Santa Rosalia. The miners suffered more than Wilson, and one of them almost died. They suspected something was wrong, and after they dis- covered that Hall was feigning sickness they accu ed him of poisoning them. He saw the game was up, they claim, and threw the sack of flour overboard and | tried in other ways to hide the evidence of his crime, out the m.ners retained two flapjacks and will have them anslyzed. Mil.er daclares that Hall's object was to do away with the men and steal the schooner. From one of the crew of the schooner Acme, which picked Hall after he left the strandel! Grace, it was learned to-day that Hall and the sailor Barney Wilson hud a terrible battle on | ap- | the beach near the schooner. Hall parently intended to count on Wiison as an aily in stealing the schooner, but the | a fight with sailor reiused to go in on the deal. After hediscovered that Hall had used poison he watched the man caretully, snd when the Grece was run ashore in the gale he stuck clo-e to the vessel and had his revolyer handy, afraid that Hall wou'd gt posses- sion ¢f the vessel and drive him_ away. Hall-then attempted to drive Wilson away and the fight ensued. Hall was beaien and driven off and Wil- son remained with the schooner, which he floated, and is now bringing back to this port. 60LD FIND NEAR SALINAS. Reported Discovery Which Has Caused Excitement in Hontersy County. MONTEREY, Nov. 7.—The report of a rich gold find near Salinas has thrown this section into a fever of excitement, and all kinds of wild schemes for obtaining a vart of the gold are d scussed. The mystery surrounding the effair lends addea inter- est to an always interesting proposition, and :everal people have gone to Salinas to learn all that can be learned regarding the discovery. All that is definitely known isthata man—who he was or whence he came is known only to two or three persons—ap- p-ared casually in a Salinas cigar-store and exhibited some extraordinarily rich rold-vearing ore, which he said came from a mine he had discovered on another man’s land about seven miles from Sali- nas. He disappeared soon after and has not been heard o! since. Some regard it as a myth, afew even believing it a bunko game; but the ore was there and its richness apparent enough, and the Monterey gold-seekers think 1f such a mine is near Salinas it must be near Monterey also, and there is no special reason why Salinas should beat Monterey in finding it. ———— MONTEREY’S AGED NOTARY.

Blaney & Co., real e<tate dealers at 33 West Santa | Clara street, were presented several weeks ago with a draft for $50 for collection by the Wells-Fargo Company. It haa been drawn by Charles E. Jackson at San Francisco.

The factory will employ from fifty to ninety skilled men. MANY LOTS NOT TAXED. Numerous Errors Found in the As- sessment Foll of Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 7.—The office of the City Assessor and the important rec- ords attached to it are in a deplorable con- dition. The Grand Jury, now in session, is engared in an investigation which may result in an attempt to remove L. 8. Sea- man, the incumbent, from office. He was elected on the Democratic-Populist ticker last December, owing to a split in the Re- publican ranks. Errors in the assessment roll are daily coming to licht. Numbers of lots have been omitted from the roll, and in some cases whole blocks of properiy have been passed over. Vacant property has been assessed as improved. In instances the actval value of property has been enterea as the a<sessed value, which in thiscity 1s about 60 per cent of the aciual value. Double ascessments are reporied. Thes= errors in this department of the city government have ari-en through the employment of incompetent help. The City Assessor | imself has been a very sick man for about ten months and has been unable to give to his office any per- sonal #htention. v The Finance Committee of the City Council is conversant with the condition matters are in, and tbe Grand Jury is looking into the subject. Thus far no evidences of official dishonesty have come to the surface. e MAY HAVE BEEN HURDERED. Marin County’s Sheriff Asked to In- vestigate ths Drowning of an Italian Fisherman.

OARLAND OFFICE SAN FrArcisco CAL L) Broadway, N ) According to a well-authenticated re- port which 1eached this city to-night Robert Knudson, who lives mn Palomares Canyon, four mi.es Ircm Haywards, is digging pure goll out of is backyard. It panned out 80 cents per pan at first, and has continued showing good returns for several days, Kuudson keeps a saloon and was in need of more water, He hired Messrs. William Tratbhen and Robert Carroll to dig'a well. They started in, but met with poor success as far as water was con- carned. However, a pocket of gold was first discovered and thea the panning be- gan with theresult mentioned. A tonnel forty feet long, five by two and a half feet, has thus far been driven into the hill, and if the present results hold out Mr. Knudson says he will be tich soon. Much prospecting has been aone in that vicinity before with indiffer- ent success. The most that was ever found was by a man named Marx. He bas made a living, but many people wiil not believe there is gold there. Others claim to have seen the present find and declare that the metal found is g-nuine and in sufficient quantities to pav for the working of it. Ic is expected that to-morrow will see a rush for this part of the county. As the climate is all that could be wished for at this time of the year, the roads good and plenty of supplies near at hand, many who wanted to go to the Klondike will try their hand there first 7 and if there is any gold there they will bave some of it, SACKFUL OF COIN REPATS THER RISK Rich Haul Made by the Santa Fe Train Robbers. ONLY TWO MEN IN THE RAID., Obtained as Much Gold as One of Them Could Con- veniently Carry. FIREMAN CAUSED LOSS OF CARS. Sent the Engine Crashing Into the Coaches After the Outlaws Had Departed. Special Dispateh to THE CALL. ALBUQUERQUE, Nov. 7.—The train which was heid up at Grants, ninety-six | miles west of here, last nigh: at 7:50 o’clock reached Albuquerque at 11:30 this morning. None of the train’s crew or pas- sengers was killed orinjured. Theamount of the express company’s loss cannot be learned, but it is known to be large. The Santa Fe Pacific Railrcad Company lost a combination baggaye and express car, a day coach and a chair car. The holding up of the train was accom- plished by two men, who boarded it at Grants. At the stockyards, about a mile east, they put on the air brakes and began shooting at a number of tramps that were | scattered along the train. Most of the passengers and many of the trainmen thought that some of the crew were hav- ing fun with the hobos and wese not | alarmed until the robbers were in posses- sion of the train. The outlaws began shooting into the en- gine cab, and Harry McCarty, the en- | gineer, jumped off and went into the rear sleeper. Henry Abei, the fireman, was grazed across the cheek by a builet and was compelled to obey the orders of the robbers. He was ordered to uncouple the express car, und it and the cars preceding it were pulled up the track for a short dis- tance to the point where the work was done. When the shooting began Messenger Lord left the express-car, locking the door behind him, and went into one of the ! Conductor | cars in the rear of the train. Aldrich went back to Grants to telegraph for help as soon as the cars were un- coupled. The rest of the crew have not yet been accounted for. When the robbers found the express-car locked thev resorted to gianipowder to open it, and were obliged to fire three shots before it gave way. On opening the car thev went at once to the through safe and blew a large hole into it with one hot. Trefireman was compeiled to hold B iae e nidhny placed the money. They tock ail that could be conveniently carried by one man, and paid no atten- tion to watches and jewelry, which were scattered throughout the car. The job took the robbers abont an hour. No horses were seen, but it is presumed that a confederate was waiting with them at some point near by. When they left the fireman goton the engine and started back for the rest of the train. notice how cl¢se he wae to the other cars and struck them so hard that a stove in the day coach was overturned. Three of tie cars—ihe express, day coach and chair car—were entirely destroyed by fire. Most of the baggage was saved, although there was some loss. The contents of the three safes which were not cracked were almost entirely destroyed by heat. No clew whatever has been found as to the identity of the robbers. The general manager ol the Santa Fe Pac fic will, itis understood, offer a reward of $500 each for the out'awe, dead or alive. For some time Marshal Foraker has been trying to get authority ifrom the Mexican Government to arrest this gang. He has known the location of its sirong- hold in the mountains, and had hoped to be abie to bring the outlaws into the United States to :tand trial for the many | crimes supposed to have been committed by tbem in New Mexico and Arizona; but | the Government of Mexico re.used to give any authority in the matter, insisting that before any step was taken ail the | evidence against Black Jack and his gang should be Iaid before and be reviewed by Minister Romero at Washington.
