SEEN RIDING ON A TRAvIN WAS ATTEMPTING TO REACH MEXICO. The Suspected Strangler Admits His | Identity and Will Be Returned to San Francisco for Trial. Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, April 30.—Harry Wil- son, the maulatto criminal who is wanted in San Francisco for burglary, and who is suspected of having strangled May McDermott and Bertha Paradis, was captured this noon by Chief of Police Rawle, and is behind the bars in the County Jail. Credit for | this capture is due to'Lee Rawle, son of the Chief of Police. Young Rawle is as watchman at Capitola, four miles from this city. Last even- ing he was at Capitola Station as the train passed through for Santa Cruz. Rawle happened to glanece toward a car window and got a glimpse of the face of a colored man he thought resembled the description of Wilson. He tele- phoned his father, the Chief of Police, who notified other officers, and a look- out was kept the entire night. This morning shortly before 6 o'clock young Rawle made the trip from Capi- on his bicycle, and started in search of the criminal. He found his man in the “O. K.,” a 15-cent restau- rant, and told Wilson he was an offi- cer. Wilson seemed to be much per- turbed. He told the Chief his name was Harrison, and that he was from Watsonville, where he had been at work for the past two vea He could not 'give the names of any per- sons from -Watsonville, and the Chief accompanied him up the street, where they met a Watsonville man who failed to recognize the mulatto.

They brought with them a repetition of | the story of privation and death and | many bore evidence on their bodies of the ravages of scurvy and frost. A man | named Young hobbled off the vessel on | the stumps of two legs. Another, named Alex Powell, had but one foot. F. C.

While camped In the interior his partner, Wesley Scheidecker, of Grand Ridge, TIl., fell sick with the scurvy and soon became unable to travel. Goodwin strapped him on a sled and started to the coast. After four days of almost her- culean labor he arrived at the mouth of the Chitna River, but his partner was | frozen stark and stiff to his sled. He buried him in the snow. Continuing his journey to the coast, he came across a tent in which there were two sick men with scurvy. They were Dixon Hutton of Memphis and T. B, Raw- | lins of Little Rock, Ark.

Light rain had been falling for some time and during the disturbance the downpour was quite heavy, although no damage was done t0 buildings. There were two seperate and distinct shocks, each of several seconds duration, the vibrations being from southwest to north- east. The Salinas dummy line train, which leaves this city at 2:45 o’'clock for Spreckelsville, was rounding the curve at Main and Sau Luis streets and the engine Jumped the track, but no particular dam- age was done, as the locomotive was run- ning at low speed.

JUST A SLIGHT SHOCK. | “Not Worth Recording,” Says XYro- | fessor Burckhalter. San Francisco was shaken by an earth- | quake yesterday afternoon, the selsmic disturbance lasting about ten seconds and consisting of two distinct shocks with | intermediate vibrations of the earth. The | first shock was felt at about 2:45 p. m., and while people were wondering whether it was really an earthquake the vibrations nearly ceased, and then the temblor seemed to take a fresh grip and with a final shake that rattled the windows of buildings all over town, subsided. It was a very ordinary ‘“quake,” and although felt in all parts of the city caused not the slightest damage so far as known. In fact, the disturbance was so slight that many were not aware of the presence of the subterranean visitor until after the shaking process had been concluded and normal conditions again prevailed. | The earthquake was felt on the other de of the bay, but the scientists in akland and Berkeley who recorded the seismic vibrations speak of it in a tone of disgust as an insignificant affair and hardly worthy of their attention. Profes- sor Charles Burckhalter, astronomer in charge of the Chabot Observatory in Oak- land, was in the act of removing a smoked glass from the seismograph which regis- ters the pranks of the temblors when a Call reporter arrived. there. “Wh: it really didn’t amount to much,” “I won't waste a plate on it. only one of those chatters, and the earth really did not No doubt it came a long distanc: uldn't | say vas slight, but ligh bet- | time was 2 , 29 seconds.

The principal motion was toward the west with a slight motion also to the north. By the Rossi el scale its in- tensity would be measured by the Roman numeral II.

Nature Once More Causes the Farm- er to Smile. SALINAS, April 30.—Salinas Valley in particular and the whole of Monterey County in generad has been treated to a rainstorm during the past week which was not only badly needed, but which w!l | insure an excellent crop of: hay, a good vield of grain and the production of sugar beets such as has. never before been raised. Although the precipitation has not been continuous during the entire period,.yet at times the downpour was quite heavy. The section of country around King City and Soledad, where dur- ing the March storm comparatively no rain fell, during this storm succeeded in gettting a most thorough soaking. The former place has already received 1.12 inches since April 24, while at the latter place the preéipitation has been .72 of an jnch, amply sufficlent for an excellent crop of hay and some barley. Wheat, however, was too far gone to be resusci- tated. Farmers in the heretofore drought- stricken regions, where destitution was reported several months ago, will be en- abled to tide over for another season. In the lrrlfia.ted sections of the county, where the Spreckels Comgany has thou- sands of acres in sugar beets, the pros- I earthquake | . | planted crop of sugar beets and did no 'CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION HALF CENT WEDDED A yne B.
