HELENA, Feb. 12—A big meet- ing was held here to-day by the Wine Makers’ Corporation for the purpose of conferring with the producers with a view to strengthening the organiza- | tion. The meeting was arranged by Charles A. Wetmore of Stockton and J. | R. Miller of Sonoma, the committee ap- | pointed to conduct this work in the in- terest of the corporation. The morn- ing train from San Francisco brought Henry J. Crocker, president, and W. J. Hotchkiss, manager of the corporation. The meeting was held in the town hall at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and was largely attended, men being pres- ent from Napa, Pope and Chiles val- leys, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford, Calistoga and other parts of the coun- | try. Seneca Ewer called the meeting to order, and Henry J. Crocker was elect- ed chairman, and secretary. Mr. Crocker outlined the ob- jects of the meeting, saying that the 80 per cent of the wines now outside of the association and corporation. ‘With this amount added to what had already been pledged, the growers | would be enabled to control the market and again name and receive fair prices for wine. There were many outside the corporation, he said, who were wanted because by united action the producers could have eontrol of the situation, and the support of these outsiders was nec- essary to the success of the movement. W. J. Hotchkiss reviewed the history of the corporation, telling what it had | done and its objects. He spoke of the | urgent necessity of the producers | standing together in order to place the | market on a secure foundation. The | men outside the corporation who sold to the "jation were, he said, fur- nishing ammunition with which to fight the growers. Resolutions were passed commending the action of the corporation in its ef- forts to protect the wine men against unnecessary losses, and declaring that its projects are entitled to serious con- sideration and immediate attention. Speeches strongly® favoring the cor- poration and its efforts to win over additional men were made by Charles A. Wetmore, J. R. Miller, 8. Ewer, H. W. Crabb, C. N. Pickett, C. L. Larue and Henry Lange. Messrs. Wetmore and Miller will re- main in the valley for several days personally interviewing the growers | and urging them to unite with the corporation.

Slayers Had Removed All Evidence Which Might Lead to an Identification. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call, TACOMA, Feb. 12—Tacoma has a murder mystery. The victim was killed nearly twe months ago, and the body concealed in the woods four miles south of the city, near Fern Hill. Everything which could afford the slightest clew to his identity was removed with one exception, and that clew leads the Cor- oner and police to believe that the man came from San Francisco. It consists of a stamp in his soft black hat, which shows that it was procured at the San Francisco Hat Works, at 111 Fourth street, in that city. . Alfred Cushing, who came from San Francisco in November, is missing. His description tallies with that of the body found last night, except that Cushing wore gray clothes when last seen, while the murdered man was dressed in a new suit of black diago- nal cloth. Cushing was ; oing cut near Fern Hill looking for land, which strengthens the belief that he may be the murdered man. The body was found last evening by boys, but was not recovered until to- day. Itlay on its back, with the hands stretched out by its side. The dead man wore a sack coat, light striped shirt, celluloid collar and four-in-hand scarf. Beneath the vest was a short knitted brown wool jacket. His pockets con- tained a black silk handkerchief, $9 35 in silver, some cartridges, a bottle half full of whisky and a carpenter’'s fold- ing rule. He was five feet six inches tall, weighed 160 pounds and was from 30 to ars old. His teeth may afford a means of identification, being pecu- liar in that an extra tooth protruded through the roof of his mouth just to the right of the center of his lower jaw. One lower tooth was decayed to the roots and two upper teeth were miss- ing. All his clothing was new and of good quality, including underclothing and shoes. Ten feet away was found a cheap small caliber revolver.' His pockets bear evidence that all papers had been removed from them. Everything indicates that the stran- ger was murdered by having his throat cut, for his windpipe was completely severed. Rodents and insects had gnawed at his face and neck, but care- ful examination shows that no bullet had entered his head or body. Blood had run down his body, which it would not have done had he committed sui- clde and died on the spot. The police are working on several theories, being inclined to belleve that he was murdered for his money and carried into the bushes by the mur- derers, who removed his letters and papers, placing a whisky bottle and re- volver near by to indicate suicide. The leaving of a little money in his pockets would also tend to divert suspicon. Alfred Cushing, who came here in No- vember, rented a room on Tacoma aye- nue until February 20. He returned from one land-hunting expedition, and started out on another shortly before Christmas, intending to start a chick- en ranch, when he found the right lo- cation. The fact that he has not re- turned has aroused suspicion, and it will not be surprising if he and the dead man are found to be identical. ‘Whether he has relatives in San Fran- ecisco is not known, as his room con- tains absolutely nothing- that reveals who his friends were. The remains were buried this after- noon. PNEUMONLA CA NOW BE CURED An Important Discovery Made by Two Brooklyn Physicians. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Considerable discussion has been caused among mem- bers of the medical profession by news of the discovery by two physicians of the Borough of Brooklyn of a remedy which they believe will cure the dread disease pueumonia. Dr. Charles Lundbeck and Dr. Carl Elfstrom, who have worked to- gether in developing this cure, are posi- tive that it will be a success. Dr. Lund- beck has the greatest faith in the cure, and while he hag tested it on only half a dozen patients the results fully satisfy him that he has & method which will revolutionize the treatment of pneumonia. Dr. Lundbeck at his home to-night said: “There is not the slightest danger at- tached to the treatment, and it is pain- less. No drugs are used. I simply draw a quantity of blood from the patient. The amount is determined by the condition of the patient. To give an idea of the quantity I may say that it is very small, about fifty grammes, or little more than one ounce and a half, in most cases. This blood is prepared by a process in which heat as well as time s a factor in pre- paring the serum. Tt is prepared in a vessel something like an incubator. Tt takes several hours to prepare it and it is then hypodermically injected into the patient. “In one case where the patient’s Tungs were solid and she had the greatest dif- ficulty in breathing the lungs began to melt in ten or twelve hours, and she is now fully restored to health. There is no secret about the method. It is simply as to the preparation of the serum that we have had malinly to experiment. The serum acts in making the bacilll harm- less and that is what effects the cure. As soon as I have perfected all the meth ods I will inform members of my profe: slon. There is no desire to keep an: thing secret. It will be for the good of humanity.” MORRISON’S SALARY MATERIALLY REDUCED. Justice ‘Wallace Decides the Case of 8 the San Jose Street Superin- - tendent. SAN JOSE, Feb. 12.—Justice Wallaceto- day decided ,that George M. Morrison is Street ‘Superirtendent and not Street Commissioner, and consequently is en- titled to’ drdav:'a salary of only $100 a month under the new charter. This deci- gion was rendered in a suit brought on a claim assigned from Morrison to recover $125 a month salary. 3 Morrison was chief deputy under Street Commissioner Bennett, and at the lat- ter's death was appointed his successor. Under the old charter there was the office of Street Commissioner, but when Morri- son was appointed to the vacancy the new charter was in effect, and the office of Street Superintendent had been creat- ed with a salary of $100 a month. In the meantime Morrison presented a claim for $125 each month, which the Council refused to allow. KLONDIKE KING SHOT 10 DEATH Hector C. Bollong Mur- dered by a Former Friend. Tragedy at Seattle Followed by the Suicide of the Slayer. Were Partners and Boon Compan- ions, but Quarreled Over Prop- erty Rights. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Feb. 12.—Hector C. Bol- long, one of the men that made small fortunes in the golden Klondike last year, was murdered this morning, The deed was done by his former boon com- panion, Andrew 8. Annan, who then turned the revolver to his own head and blew out his brains. The two men were friends in Schuy- ler, Nebr., and came to Seattle in 1888. Bollong invested considerable money in tide land property, improved ft, went into the cattle business and later took Annan in as a partner. The prop- erty became involved in litigation and Bollong and Annan quarreled as to whether or not they should fight the case in the courts. Annan refused to put up any money for the litigation. Bollong spent considerable, and the outcome of the case was a partial vie- tory for the two men. Bollong in- sisted that Annan put up his share of the court expenses, but Annan persist- ently refused. A year ago came the Klondike ex- citement and Bollong went north, leaving his parents to represent him in the property. Annan lived with them in a house on the disputed land. Bollong had hardly been out of the city when Annan began a series of unsuccessful efforts to abtain sole possession of the land. While he was engaged in this effort Bollong re- turned from the north. He had pushed over the passes, entered the land of pebbly gold and obtained possession of claims that are now admitted to be worth $75,000. Annan continued his efforts to get the land, and one day recently, meeting Bollong in the streets, he accused him of crooked work in connection with the litigation. Yesterday they met again. Hot words followéd, and when they separated Bollong remarked to a friend that Annan was “a little off.” Last night Bollong retired at about 11 o'clock. W. B. Willlams, an old friend, stayed with him. Annan, who was still & member of the household, occupied a room opposite that of his former friend. This morning, when Bollong left his bedroom to go down- stairs, Annan stepped out, revolver in hand, and commenced to fire. Three bullets took effect and the un- fortunate victim staggered into the kitchen, dving a few minutes after- ward in the arms of his parents. As he was breathing his last another shot was heard in Annan’s bedroom. Investigation showed that the mur- derer had taken his own life. Bollong leaves a father, mother, three brothers and four sisters to mourn his death. Two of his brothers live in Fairhaven, this State, and the other in San Bernardino County, Cal. Two of his sisters live in this city and the other two in California. All of his sisters are married except one. Annan is believed to have had rela- tives in Schuyler, Nebr.
