AUBURN, Oct. .—The Democrats and People’s party men made a big showing here to-night in honor of their standard-bearer, Judge James G. Ma- guire, and E. L. Hutchison. While theE demonstration was an immense affair it | by no means came up to the one given the Republican nominees last week, either in point of numbers or in mag- nificence. Judge Maguire, E. L. Hutchison and H. A. McCraney, the latter candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court, spoke at Placerville last night and to-day made the trip to Auburn by private conveyance, stopping at Georgetown, Greenwood and Ccol en route. They were met at Georgetown by the follow- ing Auburnites: Sam J. Pullen, chair- man of the Democratic Central Com- | mittee; John Davis, secretary of the| 2 AMADOR COUNTY OUTLOOK.

REA FIGHTING IN HIS LAST DITCH Santa Clara’s Gang Is Demoralized. LOSING FOLLOWERS DAILY BOSS AND HIS HENCHMEN IN SORE STRAITS. Their Campaign Directed Against Four Members and Nominees of the Good Government League. Special Dispatch to The Call BAN JOSE, Oct. 28.—The Rea gang is thoroughly demoralized by the 'condi- tions that confront it. Since Rea's con- viction of slander there has been a de- fection in the ranks, and many old- time supporters of the ring now pass Until lately few men in business dared to oppose Rea or the Mackenzies, as that meant the ruination of their busi- ness. The boycett was the weapon of these gangsters, and they applied it effectively. This is all changed now. The convie- tion of Rea announced a new era for San Jose, and it Is a question of only a short time when Rea and the Mac- kenzie family will be retired to private life. This condition will come as a re- sult of the victory of the reform forces on November 8. A county government by the people, economically adminis- tered, instead of one by boss rule, will be a relief to the taxpayers of the county. ! The great number of the people who | are rallying to the support of the Good | Government League ticket is urging | the gang on to more desperate efforts | Rea has given it out | to his lieutenants to do anything to de- feat the reform ticket, and especially James H. Lyndon for Sheriff, L. J. Chipman for School Superintendent, E. | ‘W. Conant for Treasurer and A. T.| Herrmann for Surveyor. These four are members and nominees of the Good | Government League, and the gang is to | center all its power on this quartet. | | Lyndon and Chipman have made excel- | Accidental Shooting Causes a Mexi- lent officials, while Herrmann and Con- | ant are well qualified for the positions | to which they aspire. The Good Government League is over | 2000 strong, and it will support its en- | tire ticket from top to bottom. These | Republicans who have had manhood enough to break away from the boss- | ridden party in the county are to be | taught a lesson, and the gans while it | will work to defeat the whole union | ticket, will make an especial effort to | down these four. | The California Club, the Reaites | headquarters, is the scene of great ac- tivity just now. Conferences are held daily and plans of campaign being ar- ranged. Money is being collected from gang officials and friends for a corrup- tion fund, and city and county officials have been given orders to get out and | work for voters. | Boss Rea Is trying hard to re-elect his brother, G. E. Rea, to the Board of Supervisors from the First District. | Voters are being colonized and money used in Rea’s behalf, but it looks very much as though R. M. Phelps, the anti- gang candidate, will win. A meeting of | the Good Government League at Gllroy this week was the largest ever held | there. Gilroy is the home of the Rea | family, and always considered a hot- | bed for gangsters. The defeat of Rea’s | brother there would be a direct slap in the face of the gang. It is afrald of this result, and Vic Bassignano, super- | intendent of the County Infirmary here, has been sent down there to herd the voters into line. Bassignano formerly | lived there. The fact that this county | official should leave his duties here and | g0 to Gilroy to electioneer for Rea is causing much unfavorable comment. The Police Department of this city also Is taking a hand in politics, con- | he and his pets on the force are out fighting Lyndon, the Good Government candidate for Sheriff. The Fire Depart- ment, likewise, is doing service for the gang, and even the lady teachers in the School Department are button-holing friends and asking them to support the Rea ticket. DICK LOWE BRINGS GOLD FROM KLONDIKE Arrives on the Cottage City With a Hundred and Fifty Thousand to His Credit. SEATTLE, Oct. 28.—The steamer Cot- tage City arrived in port this morning from Alaska with a large list of pas- sengers, some of whom left Dawson dur- ing the first week in October. They caught the Cottage City at Juneau, com- ing down from Skagway in a small steamer. The richest passenger was Dick Lowe, who is sald to have $150,000 to his credit here, part of which he brought out with him, while part was gold sent down the Yukon. He came out over the Dalton trall, and has been in Alaska several years. Lowe has a fractional claim on Bonanza Creek, from which he has taken $250,000. His biggest clean-up this year was $45,000, the result of thirty hours’ sluicing. The best prospect was fifty-one ounces to the pan, worth $867. News of the death of O. M. Cole of Illinois by accidental shooting at Minook Creek has reached Juneau, where Cole formerly lived. He was with H. Hart and a party of six coming down the creek in a small boat. In some manner his gun was_discharged, inflicting a fatal wound. He died three hours after, and was buried on the creek banb. Cole once mined in the Cassiar country. Captain Wallace reports stron head winds on the trip, which was otherwise uneventful. The Cottage City had 226 passengers, many of whom were mine- owners, who had started for Dawson but were compelled to return, as the steam- ers have stopped running. FRUIT SENT TO HAMBURG. Solano County G1Tw7er5 Find a Profit- able Foreign Market. SUISUN, Oct. 28.—Large demands have | '} been received here from Germany for dried fruits. Suisun has been made the headquarters of an influential firm that two years ago commenced shipping dried fruits to Hamburg. Consignments were at first made on a small scale and the fruit sent was of first-class quality and neatly packed in boxes. The enterprise proved a satisfactory one, and In con- sequence a permanent market has been established which promises such an ex- tension of business and increased demands that an additional avenue for the dis- posal of California dried fruit has been opened. The scason opened with - the shipment of dried apricots, peaches and pears. The demand at present is for prunes, and during the past week six carloads have been shipped to Hamburg. A large quantity remains for consign- employed. BULLET HITS THREE MEN. can Soldier’s Death. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 28.—An accidental shooting occurred at Ensenada yester- day morning by which three men were wounded with one bullet, one being al- ready dead. The drill sergeant having in_ charge the training of the Mexican soldiers stationed at Ensenada was en- gaged in instructing a squad in _the use of muskets, Madinf and firing. He was standing nearly in line with the men. His own musket, unknown to him, was load- ed and as he raised it suddenly the trig- ger caught in his clothes and the gun was discharged, the ball going through three privates in the ranks, one of whom has since died. Clark Protests Innocence. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28.—In the mur- der trial of Harry Clark, charged with killing a Chinese laundryman, Clark went upon the stand in his own behalf to-day in an attempt to strengthen his alibi. He testified that he borrowed a shotgun and some shells, but that after the Chinese came he left the house and went hunting. When he returned he found Con- stable Hunter in the house and the Chi- nese_gone. He denied all knowledge of the killing. LR Davidson and Light Acquitted. SEATTLE, Oct. 28.—D. B.

PASSENGERS AND CREW SAFE ESCAPE IN SMALL BOATS TO THE SHORE. The John C. Barr Is Fast on a Sand Bar Near Fort Selkirk and Probably Will Become & Total Wreck. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 28.—The large Yukon River steamship Anglian was wrecked near the confluence of Hootalinqua and Thirty-mile rivers three weeks ago, according to a report brought to- day by passengers on the steamship Cottage City. The Anglian had tried to reach White Horse Rapids, where she was to go into winter quarters, but failed on account of the very low water, which usually precedes the freezing up of the Yukon’s uppex waters. The steamship was accordingly turned around, with the intention of returning to Dawson. After proceeding about twenty miles down river she struck a sunken rock. A few hours later she went down, as the water steadily gained on her pumps. She undoubtedly will be a total wreck, as nothing can be done to_raise her before the ice breaks up. By that time she will have been entirely demolished. Her passen- gers and crew escaped in small boats and camped on shore until provisions could be procured to enable them tq reach Dawson. The steamship John C. Barr, belong- ing to the North American Transporta- tion and Trading Company, recently went ashore on a sandbar forty miles below Fort Selkirk. Great efforts were being made to get her off. If they fail she probably will be broken to pieces by ice jams when the river freezes. The Barr was taking a cargo of cat- tle to Dawson for Pat Galvin’s com- Being new to the upper river her a sandbar at the end of it. In trying to turn around she was forced on the bar and the swift current made it next to impossible to release her. CLEARS A MYSTERY OF TWELVE YEARS AGO Confession of an Astoria Man Shows that Herman Johnson Was Murdered. ASTORIA, Oct. 28—According to the confession of Herman Roikala, the death of Herman Johnson in this city about twelve years ago was a cold-blooded murs der.

The introduction of the speaker was the sig- nal for prolonged applause, which was eviidently given in recognition of Mr. White's station, rather than in approval of the cause he is espousing in the cam- paign. He began with a comparison of the two candidates for Governor, assert- ing that on account of his knowledge of olitical affairs and experience in the | alls of legislation the “Little Giant™” was the better fitted for the position. To the rallroad company would the credit be due were Maguire defeated. The single tax issue wag not gone into at any length, the speaker claiming that it was not an issue in this campalgn. His tribute to the volunteer army was most eloquent and aroused much patriotic enthusiasm. He had words of commendation for the local legislative nominees, and exhorta- tions for the support of Maguire and Hutchison concluded his speech. | i | | 1 Republicans Gain in Monterey.
