After Murdering Her Child Mrs. Baago Kills Herself. in the history County occurred of Contra Costa at Sheep one and a half miles from g » station, Tuesd: afternoon. short time ago a in by the ne of Peter Baago, wife and ten-year- child located on the island, Baago en- in the dairy business. Last Saturday it appears the husband and wife ouarreled and agreed to se rate. They came to San Francisco, shocking crimes Island, 1899. 'DECAPITATED HER DAUGHTER WITH ONE STROKE OF A KEEN KNIFE bringing thelr daughter with them. Baago deeded all his property over to his wife and the couple separated. Baago secured employment as a cabinet-maker in San Francisco and his wife returned to Sheep Island with the little girl. Tuesday Hans Hansen, an aged dalryman resld- ing on the Island, ate dinner with them. Mrs. Baago expressed herself to him as satisfied with the condition of affairs, but Hansen thought she seemed down- hearted. In order to divert her mind from her troubles Hansen suggested a boat ride or a walk about the island, and Mrs. Baago consented to take a walk and promised to meet him at the quarry, some distance from the house. At about 3 o'clock, Mrs. Baago having falled to appear, Hansen feeling worrled, went to the house to ascertain the cause of her non-appearance. As he entered the house he called for Mrs. Baago, and get- ting no response, he opened the door of her bedroom. The sight that met his gaze paralyzed him for the moment. There upon the floor of the small bed- room lay the body of the little child liter- ally bathed in its own blood. The feet of the body were almost against the door, while the head was lying in the corner close by with the bloody knife under it. From all indications the mother had called the child Into the room and with- out warning grabbed her by the hair and with one strong stroke drew the knife across the little girl's throat, com- pletely decapitating her. After throwing the knife away she threw the head upon the floor, and, leaving the house, ended her« own life by jumping into the bay. That the Woman was insane is a cer- tainty, as she was often heard saying that she was tired of the kind of life she was living and would make away with the child and then drown herself, and the latter Is the theory held by the officers as to her whereabouts. Word was sent to Coroner Curry at Martinez about 8 o'clock in the afternoon and he, accompanied by Deputy Bheriff Johnson, hastened to the scene of the murder. The Coroner and deputy sheriff searched the island thoroughly and no trace of the missing woman could be found. Bhe left the following note, writ- ten in Danish: “Goodby, Hansen. I cannot stand it any longer. My husband has been bother- ing me for the last ten years. Hansen and Anderson can sell the cows and di- vide it, and the house can you sell and divide in three parts—m ster Jine one art, my brother Pete one part and my Pusband's sister Sine her part. regards. s ow can papa enjoy himself? I take my girl with me.” A6 remains of the child were taken to San Pablo, where they were viewed by the Coroner’s jury, after which they were taken to Martinez on a late train. The inquest will be held to-morrow after- noon, in San Pablo. Coroner Curry was interviewed and said: “It is one of the saddest cases It has been my duty to handle for the past ten years, during which time I have been Coroner of Contra Costa County. I was summoned to-day to come to Sheep Isl- and with all possible haste and accord- ingly went to San Pablo and there secur- ed a rowboat and went to the island, ac- companied by Deputy Sheriff Fred John- son. ““We were met by the farmhand, Han- sen, who conducted us to the house. "l)‘hder in a room, upon the floor, lay the 0 severed completely from the trunk. I found a letter left by Mrs. Baago, written in Danish. We made a thorough search of the island for the missing woman, but were unable to find any trace whatever of her. It is my opinion that she has committed suicide by drowning herseif. The island is a dreary place and is occupied by no one except the Baago family, Hansen and a fisherman. It is my impression the woman brooded over the trouble with her husband and became temporarily insane. I brought the remalins of the little girl to San Pablo, where they were viewed by a jury. I will hold an inquest next Friday afternoon.” Deputy Sheriff Fred Johnson was seen to-night, and he has the following to say: “T was summoned to Sheep Island to-day from Martinez, and witnessed one of the saddest cases I have ever seen in my life. Coroner Curry and I rowed to the island and upon learning full particulars of the case from the man Hansen I set about making a thorough search of the entire {sland. I visited every nook and corner and could find no trace of the missing womarn. I am morally certain she has committed suicide by drowning.” USTING UNION PACIFIC CLAINS Ten Million Dollars Dis- allowed. . Special Dispatch to The Howard S.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION S OBJECT TO AFFILIATION WITH ANTI-SATOON LEAGUE. ol o ced The second day’s sessions of the Con- gregational California State Assoclation churches convened at 8 o'clock yesterday morning in the First Church, Mason and Post streets, with the moderator, Rev. W. W. Scudder of Alameda, in the chair. The morning session was largely devoted to the business of the association. After devotional exercises Rev. W. W. Cross of Saratoga was called to the chair and the moderator proceeded to read the report of the National Council committes relat- | ing to the federation of missionary socle- t The report of the committee, whicj favored the Coppen plan, was approved. The report of the committes on te perance was presented by Rev. J Knodell, who declared that the work ready done had but aroused the en and he urged the necessity of continy the struggle with renewed energy. this end in view, he presented the folf} ing resolution prepared by the com tee, which he asked the association| adopt: That the preachers in all the churches m eme for work; that the edf! itinue to take his present hy nd upon this question; that we recognize the W.

Rev. C. R. Brown of Oakland opposed the proposition to organize leagues in the churches as proposed by the resolutions. He declared that the Anti-Saloon League was a political body, and as such had no place in the church. Dr. Knodell made an | address touching upon the work of the Anti-Saloon League and then a motion to refer the report of the committee on temperance was lost, the matter being made a special order for 9 o'clock this morning. The narrative of the churches, prepared [ by Rev. BE. S. Willlams, was read by Rev. | George B.

In the afternoon Rev. R. H. Sink of Stockton, assistant moderator, presided. Rev. Dr. 8. H. Willey of this city read a paper on “The Pacific,” in which he strongly urged the members of the asso- | clation to give more generous support to the organ of the church on this coast. Rev. Dr. James T. Ford read a paper on “The Early Days of Congregationalism in Southern California,” and Mrs. E. J. Singer read a paper on “The Gates Ajar.” The Congregational Church Bullding So- | ciety and the California Home Missionary Society had charge of the evening session.

Final action certainly will not be taken by this Gov- ernment until the President and Secre- tary of State understands the views of influential Senators with reference to the proposed disposition of the islands. In the meantime there is no intention on the part of the administration to be | pushed into hasty action by rumors of trouble in Samoa and the report emanat- ing from German sources that for the surrender of her rights in the islands of Tutuila and Savaii Germany should be given possession of Upolu and additional | compensation. It was significantly stated to-day that the President proposed to carefully guard every Interest of the United States in Tutuila_in view of American possession of the harbor of Pago Pago on that isl- and by this Government, and to require adequate compensation for the surrender of American clalms to the islands of Upolu and Savall. he authorities have determined that there shall be no additional commission appointed to settle the Samoan question, but the matter will be ended by direct negotiations between the three Govern- ments. It is apparent that these negotia- tions will consume several months, and as a_ preliminary to them it may be de- cided to pat Into force some of the rec- ommendations of the Joint High Commis- sion, which some months ago investi- ’m}te% the conditions prevailing in the slands.
