Willard Field, a young C v man and member of a prominent Alameda family. He rode through the city at breakneck speed on a steed with- out saddle or bridle, controlied only by a halter rope, discharging a pistol at the homes of the slumbering people, yelling like a madman. The whole night force of the Alameda | | station Police Department attempted to round up | the young man, and when Officer Dennis | e S O e B e S o SCRS S S R Scis Sl SeCon Secin il SR oo S i e i o to the belief of the police, it was emptied for the second time when it was dis- charged at Keyes. At 2:50 o’clock Officer Welch, who had returned to Central ave- nue and Lafayette street, heard a horse coming up the avenue from the direction of Grand street. Field had doubled back on his pursuers and was again in the vi- cinity of where he had started on iis escapade. The horse had been badly used up and was moving slowly when it came up to Welch. The officer recognized the | rider_and, stepping in front of the ani- mal, spoke to_young_Field. “Tiold om, Field, I want you,” said Welch, at the same time reaching for the halter rope. “You don’t come any_ of that on me,” was Field’s answer, and almost instantly he leveled his revolver at Welch, who was but a few feet away, and fired twice. The first shot nearly grazed the officer’s ear. The second went through the crown of his hat, ranging downward and cutting the rim, missing Welch’s head by less than an inch. The policeman was stunned for a . mo- ment by the doncussion and thought the top of his head had been shot away. When he pulled himself together and drew his pistol Field had wheeled his horse about and was again galloping down the avenue, shooting right and left until every chamber in his weapon had been emptied. The officer took a shot at the fleeing horseman, but the bullet failed to reach him. Welch went to police headquarters, where he was seen shortly after his ar- rival by a Call_correspondent. He was badly scared and hardly able to talk. He professed ignorance of any shooting, de- nied that a bullet had gone through his hat or that he knew the identity of the man who had awakened Alameda from its slumbers at such an unseemly hour. It was not until late in the afternoon, after the efforts of the police to suppress the truth had failed, that he consented to talk. Officers Brampton and Lawrence found Field at his father's house sleeping off the effects of his carousal. At the police Sergeant Kamp insisted upon booking him on the felony charge of as- sauit with intent to commit murder. Some peculiar work was done at once.

Field eluded the police until 5 o’clock in the morning, when he was ar- rested by Officers Brampton and Law- rence as he was peacefully sleeping in his room at his father's home, 717 Paru street. The Police Department for some un- known reason made a determined effort to protect the man who had nearly mur- dered one of its members. Everything done to keep the facts from pers, and Field was assisted by them to freedom and nominal punish- ment. Some members of the force are in- dignant at the leniency shown Field, and the public severely condemn the officlals for their action in the matter. H. Willard Field is the third son of H. K. Yosemite Valley Commis- S manager of the New 1.]{ e Insurance Company. ield Sr. is away in the country, and Wil- lard took advantage of his absence to in- dulge in a night of the wildest revelry with a party of three companions. Early Monday evening they hired a carriage at a local livery stable and visited the way- side resorts along the San Leandro road, returning to Alameda about midnight. The quartet then repaired to the Field mansion and had soon drained of their contents the bottles of liquor on the side- board and consumed much wine that was stored in the cellar. 1t is presumed that this occupied their time until about 2 o’clock this morning, for at that time the lights in the house were extinguished. What happened im- mediate! afterward is not known, but at 2:30 o’clock three pistol shots startied the neighborhood of Morton street and Central avenue, many blocks away from the Field residence. This was followed a crashing of glass, a series of demon- like yells and the noise of a horse’s hoofs < | as it galloped along Central avenue. The man’'s arms were waving above his | head and the bright barrel of a revolyver could be plainly discerned shining in the moonlight. Officer Lawrence, who was that section of the city, gave chase, but the mad horseman easily distanced him. The sound of the galloping horse died away in the distance and the town pre- pared to resume its slumbers when two Thore shots rang out in the vicinity of Union street and Clinton avenue, nearly a mile away from the scene of the first Gisturbance. It was here that Officer Welch started on the chase. He ran in the direction from which came the sound of the shots, but had covered but little ground when another report came from the direction of Walnut street and San Antonio avenue. By this time the whole night patrol was alarmed and running through the streets in an effort to locate the pistol wielder. When Welch reached San Jose avenue and Willow street Field dashed by him riding in the direction of Park street. The officer shouted to him to stop. The answer was two shots fired in the air. At Park street and San Jose avenue the pistol bopped twice more. Riding across Park street to Broadway Fields met Officer Keyes, who tried to head him off. He had to dodge three bullets for his effort to_stop the young man in his wild career, There ‘'was no more firing for at least ten minutes. Field had stopped occasion- ally to reload his revolver and, according atrolling | with influential friends and relatives of the prisoner, with the result that Officer Welch was not permitted to prefer the felony charge. He was allowed, however, to swear to a complaint before Justice of the Peace Morris charging Field with dis- turbing the peace, and another before Recorder St. Sure charging him with vio- lating a city ordinance which prohibits the discharge of firearms within the city limits. To both of these charges he plead- ed guilty and was fined $20 in each case, | H‘IF rfiluti\ es at once spirited him out of e city. During his ride Field sent bullets into houses along the route taken, smashing windows and doing other damage. Sev- eral of the missiles nearly hit the sleeping occupants of the houses.

SEATTLE, dJuly 2.—George Webster, who was to have been hanged at Spokane next Friday for the murder of Mrs. Asp- lund, was granted an extension of life to-day by United States District Judge Hanford, who refused his application for a writ of habeas corpus but granted him leave to appeal to the United States Su- preme Court. Pending a decision on the appeal the execution of Webster is sus- pended. In their application for a writ of habeas corpus Webster's attorneys al- leged that one of the jurors that convict- ed Webster was an allen, while another was a client of the prosecuting attorney. ———— Governorship Contest Ends.

The first duty that was undertaken yes- terday was the preparing of about 750 in- vitations under the direction of the com- mittee appointed at the meeting held last Monday night. The list will include every society of whatever character that the committee can learn the name of, and there will be invitations to Federal, State to officers of the army and navy. It is the desire of the committee that the pa- | lowing the | Golden State, shall be the largest th: ever been planned in this city. The suggestion that was made in the National Guard column of The Call last Sunday has been taken up by the com- | mittee, and it is likely that the several companies of the Fifth Regiment of In- of the Second at has from the following points, where the com- panies are located: A, at Oakland; B, San Jose; C, Petaluma; D, San Rafael; B, Santa Rosa: F. Oakland: G, Alameda; H, Napa, to enable these guardsmen to greet their fellow-soldiers on their return. The Signal Corps of the Second Brigade will, | as well as Troop A, cavalry, take part {n the reception. ‘A feature that the committee has under | consideration _is the placing of all the public _school _children by schools along the line of march, provide them with flags to wave and flowers to shower-on the heroes as they And it is probable that an march past. M he children of effort will be made to have t private schools do likewise. The subject of having appropriate floats in the parade has been discussed in some of the parlors of the Native Sons and of the Native Daughters, but as yet no defl- nite conclusion has been reached. still it is thought that some will be introduced. The Exempt Firemen, whose headquar- ters are on Brenham place, and the as- as soclation known as Sons of Exempts, well as the Assoclation of Veteran Fi men, who have their headquarters in the Pioneer building, 1l turn out with the | trappings of the days “of old, and each organization will man the ropes of appa- Tatus that was in vogue when the volun- teer system was in operation in this city.

James Cassin and John Beach Escape From Transport Tartar While Drunk and Abuse Citizens on the Street. Two soldiers who ran amuck on the Barbary Coast early yesterday morning narrowly escaped being responsible for a murder before thed were landed in the California-street station by the police. Both were scheduled to sail on the trans- port Tartar on Sunday night, but before the vessei left the wharf thgy changed their plans for the Manila trip, and, se- curing two loaded Krag-Jorgensen rifles, escaped, hatless and coatless, to shore and immediately became the terrors of the dance halls and saloons on the Barbary | Coast. About 2:30 yesterday morning they landed in a saloon on the first floor of the Prescott House at 933 Kearny street. Both were drunk, and after driv- ing every one from the place one of them discharged his rifle at the ceiling over- head. The bullet passed through several | boards into a room occupied by Gustav Weiman, who conducts a jewelry store at | 622 Merchant street. In tearing its way through the floor of the upper room it | struck a gas pipe and glanced. Had the missile continued in a straight path it would probably have killed the jeweler. After deserting the Tartar the soldiers, whose names are James Cassin and John Beach, entered saloon after saloon, in each place driving out the occupants and threatening life. While on the street they rrodded pedestrians with their bayonets :nd usually had the sidewalk to them- selves. In several houses they smashed whatever they got their hands on and | tore the blinds from a building on Mont- gomery avenue. When the shot was fired they again started on_thelr rampage, but were met by Police Officers Peters and Cavanaugh, who had been detailed to round up the murderous soldiers. When the officers ap- proached both of the men made motions as if to shoot should any attempt be made | to arrest them. By strategy the officers | succeeded in getting close enough to the fellows to seize their weapa A struggle commenced and_the soldiers, disarmed of their rifles, reached for knivés which they | carried in their belts. Officer Cavanaugh quickly subdued his man, but Peters was not fortunate with his. The scuffle with the latter was long, during which | the solgler made repeated efforts to get at | his knife. At length Special Officer Dag- | gett and several citizens came to the of- | ficer’s assistance and soon had the culprit | handcufred. At ihe police station Cassin was recog- nized as the man who did the shooting and in addition to being booked for dis- | turbing the peace he has a charge of dis- charging firearms within the city limits placed against his name. Beach will have to stand trial for disturbing the peace. The military _authorities were notified | yesterday and will take action on the Jisgraceful conduet of the soldiers. Of- | | ficer Peters visited the Presidio and laid | the matter before the authorities. |GOING TO PARIS TO SECURE HEADQUARTERS C. L. P. Marais, a well-known local | newspaper man, was appointed assistant secretary and commercial representative of the California commission to the Parls | Exposition at a meeting of that body yes- | terday at the Occidental Hotel. The ap- | pointment was made on the recommenda- | tion of Raphael Weill, the presidents of | | the different French banks and leading | members of the French colony. | Mr. Marais will leave for Paris on the 15th of next month to procure headquar- ters in the business portion of that' city and 1o generally look after the business of the commission until it arrives. Pacific has hit upon a co- | ing scheme. It will erect | a building of its own at the Paris expo- ition, where will be exhibited the re- Sources of such portions of the State as are tapped by its various lines. For this purpose the company has set aside = the sum of $50.000, and its expenditure has been placed in the hands of W. H.

In compliance with the wishes of the de- ceased no religious services were held, the services of his order were read at Druids’ Hall by Past Noble Grand H. J.

Wood has been assailed, and a lengthy and bitter legal battle will oc- cupy the courts before the order for dis- tribution of the estate is made. Yesterday afternoon the children of the deceased capitalist filed a contest to the will, on the ground that the deceased was of un- sound mind when he affixed his signature. Evans & Meredith have been retained by the contestants_to make the attack upon the will. Decedent’s estate has been ap- praised at $273,000, and it is for the largest portion that the children intend to fight, and for that purpose have joined forces. —_———————— Death of H. C. Lambert. One more of the number who arrived in Yerba Buena in 1849 has passed away. This time the telegraph announces death of Henry C. Lambert at West Ncw- ton, Mass., on the 18th inst. at the age of §7 years. The deceased was born in Eng- | land in 1812. On arriving in the United | States he located in Massachusetts, where he was ordained a minister of the Unitarian church. Previous to his leaving Massachusetts in 1849 he fitted out two vessels for the Golden Gate, one of which was the Dux- bury, and which put into Bolinas, which circumstance gave to the reef at that | place the name of Duxbury Reef. Be- sides his widow, who is now 83 years of | age, and several grown-up sons and | daughters, the deceased leaves a brother, Charles Lambert, a resident of Oakland, to mourn his demise. ————————— FATHER SEMERIA CHECKED.
