She performed many apparently miraculous cures of afflicted persons while in EI Paso. She again disappeared and next came into public notice as the chief actor in an army of about 1000 fanatical Mexi- | cans in the State of Chihuahua, Mexi- co. They had their camp just across the Rio Grande from Presidio del Norte, Texas, and the wonderful woman seem- ed to have full sway over her followers, This gathering of fanatics became so large that the Mexican authorities be- came alarmed, the report having reach- ed Chihuahua that they intended start- ing a revolution against the Mexican Government. A regiment of soldiers was sent out from Chihuahua to dis- perse the fanatics. The troops went to Sierra Mojada by train and then marched overland to the border, a dis- tance of 100 miles. The religious fan- atics refused to obey the order to dis- perse, and a conflict took place in which six soldiers and twenty fanatics were killed. Santa Teresa escaped across the river and kept in hiding in Texas until the excitement died out. She then returned te El Paso, where she lived until her recent disappearance.

Cooney, who has a ladles’ tafloring shop at 52 West One Hundred and Twenty- fifth street, 1s wondering whether he has $700,000 more than he had when he regis- tered a few days ago in the National Hotel, Far Rockaway, Long _Island, where his fami stopping.

Mr. Cooney says he had an uncle named Peter Cooney who amassed a fortune in San Francisco, which he left to his father, John 'C. Cooney. James Cooney’s father yesterday received a letter from the lawyers of his dead brother, saying he was heir to about 700,000, but owing to his feeble condition told his son if he made a trip to San Francisco he could derive the benefits accruing from bis journey to the Pacitic Coast. The son accepted the offer and started West as his father's representa- tive. Peter Cooney, it is sald, made his fortune in gold mines and in stock rafs- ing in Montana. e INTERESTS THE COAST.

The proces»1 TRIAL OF DESIRELLO At the First Trial the Jury Stood Six for Acquittal and Six for | Manslaughter. | REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 10.—The second trial of Frederick Desirello was set this | morning by consent for the 1Sth of Sep- tember. Desirello is charged with the murder of James Johnston, committed at Colma, in San Mateo County, on the 1Sth | day of last March. The first trial, lasting | from May 2 to 6, resulted in a disagree- | ment, the jury standing six for man- slaughter and six for acquittal. After the trial the defendant was released on | ball and has been employved since that | time in Baden at the Fuller Paint Works. The defense made by Desirello at the first trial was accidental shooting. The facts of the case the evening of the 1Sth of Johnston, a young man 17 age, in company with James Jensen and John | Baccari, two other boys, were driving on the main county road into Colma, their | destination being Bell's store at that | Desirello was at the White House, nce from the store, when the boys came along. From the testimony of Desireilo, borne out by other witnesses, the boys were either driving recklessly or the horses were running away. At/ any rate, Desirello thought they were | going at an unsafe rate. He called to | the boys to stop, but they did not hear or | heed him. He thereupon drew his revolver and shot at the horses in order to stop them, but unfortunately shot Johnston in the | neck, from the effects of which he died a few moments later. The boys, Jensen and Baccari, deny that they were driving at any othér than an ordinary rate of | speed and say_Desirello never called to them to stop. The Coroner’s jury charged | Desirello with willful murder in the first degree and the committing magistrate held him to answer for murder, but the highest offense voted for by the trial jury was manslaughter, as no motive or malice in the killing could be found. In fact, rello testified that he did not even know the unfortunate boy in his lifetime | and would have no object In injuring him. | A jury was drawn to-day to be in attend- | ance on the 18th of September. | ———— | SANTA BARBARA PARK | LEASED BY OIL MEN Steps Taken to Recover the Tract and Prevent Its Disfiguration | by Derricks.

USEFUL IN CASE OF RIOT GUN WILL FIRE FOUR HUNDRED SHOTS A MINUTE. e n i U The Major Intends Taking the Gun Overland to Washington and Exhibiting It to Army Officers. e e Special Dispatch to The Call. PEORIA, TII, Aug. 10.—An automobile gun carrlage upon which a Colt auto- matic rapid-firing gun wiil be mounted, s now being constructed here. It Is being | made on the order of Major Davidson of the Highland Park Mllitary Academy. The carriage will be a three-wheeled affair with seats for four men, who will constitute the crew, and provision for at least 1000 rounds of cartridges. The whole concern is expected to weigh about 1000 pounds. An ordinary six horse-power motor will be employed, and it is expected to drive the machine at a good pace over ground | of almost any. character where horses | de- | might be driven. The carriage s signed, however, principally for use’ in suppressing riots in the city streets. The gun is fixed upon a pivot or turning plate, so that it may be moved in any | direction at will. The gun Is fired by simply pulling a back trigger, and will continue to shoot as lon§ as it 1s held back. It will fire 400 shofs a minute, or about seven a second. Major Davidson intends to take the machine to Washington. It is his in- tention to run it overland from High- land Park to the national capital, where an endeavor will be made to interest army officials In it. The cost of the carriage will be only about $1500. S AUTOMOBILE USED FOR COLLECTING MAIL WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—With a view to the adoption of specially constructed automobile wagons for the collection of mail, James E. Bell, superintendent in the Washington postoffice, to-day made a preliminary test of collecting mall over one of the regular city routes in an elec- tric automobile made b the American Electric Vehicle Company of Chicago. The start was made about 2 o'clock and the route from Tenth to Eighteenth street, northwest on K and I streets, was covered. This is an easy route, as the streets were clear and the mail boxes are not numerous. Further tests will be made where conditions are more exacting. The test demonstrated that a large saving ot time is possible in collecting with an au- tomobile. to-day was very satisfac- e trial tory,” said Major Bell. “The collection route w covered in much less time than Getting in and out of a was not convenient, but suitable wagons will, of course, be built if the automobile is adopted for collecting mail. The de- partment spends an-immense sum annual- ly for horse hire, and it may be possible to use this money with greatly increased results if the automobile mail collecting wagon proves practicable. “The electric mobile was used to-day and the agents make a’ good point in rccommending it. They say that the mo- tive power would not cost us a cent here, as the batterfes in the wagons could be charged by our own electric plant, using the power which is going to waste.” A CLOSE CALL FOR STEAMER GOLD STAR| An Exciting Adventure in Five Fin- ger Rapids on the Upper Yukon. SEATTLE, Aug. 10.—Advices recelved from Alaska say the steamer Gold Star met with an exciting adventure in Five| Finger Rapids on the Upper Yukon. They were lining the steamer up through the Five Fingers and had worked up to a point where they entered a huge eddy. The cable was slackened from the capstan and steam turned on a bit. The vessel plowed ahead, and before she was under perfect control again her bow pushed forward into the strong current, throwing her nose around. At the same time the eddy caught the stern and threw it about up stream. The effect of this was to shoot the Gold Star straight across toward the opposite bank. The boat was just above the five ragged rocks in the river from which the rapids take their name, and so nearly upon them that it seemed impossible that they could avoid going upon one of them. The Goid Star went clear across the stream before | the cable was given the proper number of turns around the capstan to bring her about. This was done, however, and her TNose again headed up the swift current when she was within a few feet of one| of the pinnacled fingers. Many of the Gold Star's donned life-preservers.

He represents a | (he San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers. number of heavy speculators and has a | Jarge amount of capital to back him in his enterprise. He recently procured a | Jease of the Agricultural Park along the | beach, with the understanding that the park be used for agricultural purposes and that he would develop it into a botanical garden. He came here about two months ago, passing himself off as an experienced farmer, and said that in a short time he could irrigate the salt land Into fertile soil. His offer was imme- diately accepted on the foregoing condi- tion, as it has been the ambition of the owners of the property to beautify the barren tract which is now used as a race- track. Recently he ackuowledged to a| friend that he represented outside capital and was to invest it in oil digging. These facts became known to the lessee, who took immediate steps to revoke the lease by which Nelson holds the land, on the ground that he obtained it through fraud and misrepresentation. An_ action to have the lease annulled will be filed to- morTow. At N MILLS HEARING GOES OVER. Judge Buck Advises the Chathams to Join Issues. REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 10.—The Robert Mills estate was again before the court this morning, at which time Judge Buck announced that he would hear and deter- mine the proceedings commenced by the Chatham claimants under section 1664 of the Code of Civil Procedure to determine heirship as soon as the issues could be framed. A complaint under that section was filed by the attorneys for the Chat- hams on the 4th inst. The parties inter- ested in the estate have twenty days after service in which to appear and answer and then the matter will be in a condi- tion to go to trial. The court suggested that if issues couls be joined the case might be tried nex month, as there would be a jury in at- tendance on the 18th. The Chathams claim to be the son and daughter of Robert Mills and entitled to two-thirds of his estate, valued at more than $§250,000. Deceased left no legitimate children and died jntestate, hence his estate would go one-half to his widow and the remainder to his brothers and sisters and their chil- dren. The fight promises to be a bitter one. | Elliott, Special freight will be hay, flour, grain and lumber, and active competition with the old freighting lines is promised. "The incorporators are Stockton business men with the wealthy firm of Wright & Dickenson, hay dealers, as the principal shareholders, and . Wright, a re- fired capitallst, as another.

DR BARROWS DIED OF BROKEN HEART ' Belmont - Sloan Wed- ding Helped Cause It. e OVERSENSITIVE gt ADVERSE CRITICISM PREYED DEEPLY ON HIS MIND. g Robbed of Sleep, His Vitality Was Rapidly Exhausted and Medical Skill Could Not Save Him. gl Spectal Dispatch to The Cail. 'HE WAS NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Rev. Dr. Jo- slah Strong to-day received telegrams | announcing the death at Mackinac Is- land, Mich., of Rev. Walter Manning Barrows of Greenwich, Conn., who mar- ried Perry Belmont and Mrs. Sloane. | to- | Dr. Strong said in an Interview night: “Dr. Barrows was an extremely sen- sitive man and the misrepresentations | and criticlsms on his action in per- forming the Belmont-Sloan marriage ceremony preyed upon his mind, robbed him of sleep and reduced his vitality. It is the common conviction in Green- | wich that it was an important, if not the primary cause of his death. He | was very much broken in health and on his vacation went to the summer home of his brother, President John Henry Barrows of Oberlin College, a few weeks ago. His condition became so critical that Mrs. Barrows was summoned last Sun- day from Greenwich. A consuitation of Chicago physicians was held, but not- withstanding the best medical _skill, he continued to fail and died this after- noon. Dr. Barrows was born and bred in the West. His father was a professor at Olivet College, Michigan. Dr. Bar- rows was one of the first missionaries to Utah for the Congregational church. In 1881 he became secretary of the Home Missionary Society, New York | City, remaining here until he was called to Rockford, Ill., as pastor of the Con- gregational church there. A little over a year ago he accepted a call for a pas- torate of the Second Congregational Church at Greenwich, Conn.
