YOUNG MAN KILLED BY A CRAZY LOGGER' ‘Was Assisting Officers to Arrest the Man When He Was Laid Low by a Rifle Ball. | Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. {8 ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 19.—Lake Moore, a voung logger living about ten miles south of this city, was killed about tiis afternoon while aiding the county autkor- ities in an effort to apprehend Mat Hii- strom, a crazy logger. The demented man labored under the hallucination that the woods were full of gorillas, and tt.ree times this week attempted to kill L. R. | Abercrombie, -a_ neighbor. Twice Mrs, | Hilstrom quieted her crazy spouse, but or Abercrom- | bie on a road and took a shot at him. The | bullet did not miss Abercrombie’'s head by more than an inch. Abercrombie then came to the city and acquainted the cuun- ty_authorities with the situation Deputy Sheriff Trullinger and Consta- ble Wickman left for the house. -On tne way out they met young Maore. who agread to accompany them and point out Hilstrom's abode. When they reached the place Moore sug- gested that it would be better that he should go to the door, as he was quained with the crazy man. Mrs. Hilstrom appeared in response to the knock at the 0or. Moore asked where Hilstrom was and he had no sooner uttered the words than the report of a rifie rang out. Moore staggered back-| ward and with a groan fell dead. The body lay only a few feet from the door and the officers deemed it folly to at- | tempt to recover it, as Hilstrom would doubtlessly shoot them when they ap- peared In sight. Constable Wickman re- mained at the place while Deptuy Trul- linger hurried in the launeh to the city. A posse left at once for the scene and the house is now surrounded. Further bloodshed is feared when the effort to get him from the house s made. GENERAL ANDERSON IS TO BE RETIRED President Has Already Named Gen- eral Ludlow as His Suc- Cessor. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Brigadier General Anderson, commanding the mill- tary department of the lakes, with head- His retirement has been anticlpated by the appointment of General William Ludlow as brigadier general. The President’s ac- tion in filling this vacancy by sending General Ludlow’s name to the Senate in advance of its existence is said to be | without precedent in the army and was | avowedly taken to spare the President from further importunity. General J. F. Wade, commanding the Department of Dakota, has been ordered, in addition to his present dutfes, to take temporary command of the Department of the Lakes until a permanent appointment can be made. General J. R. Brooke, who was recently 1elieved by General Wood as commander of the division of Cuba, may be assigned to the Department of the Lakes, but the general impression is that he is more likely to be assigned to relieve General Wesley Merritt on the latter’s retirement next June. General Brooke is now at St. Augustine, Fla., recuperating. - Ex-Justice Robison Dead. Speetal Dispatch to The Call. WILLOWS, Jan. 19.—Ex-Justice 8. A.

DRUNKEN QUARREL ENDS N MURDER Manuel Fialho Struck With a Demijohn. Special Dispatch to The Call LAYTONVILLE, Jan. 19.—The tragic death of Hugh Gallagher, chief logger at the Usal Redwood Lumber Company's | mills, yesterday has cast a gloom over the community. Gallagher, who is well | and favorably known, was superintending the logging of immense redwood trees from the mountain side down to the mill | chutes and had just completed the ad- | Jusiment of the huge chains on an un-| commonly large tree. After instructing | the men to be cautfous in liberating this particular piece of timber Gallagher pro- ceeded to inspect the proposed route the timber was to roll anrf shoot over. He had only gone a short distance when the huge binding chains that held the tree snapped and with a roaring crash this im- mense tree, contalning some seventy thou- sand feet of lumber, plunged down the mountain side, gaining frightful mo- mentum with ‘each bound. Gallagher's effort to escape from the path of the roli- Ing tree was pathetic. He appeared con: founded, running frantically about in a circle. The massive trunk of the tree leaped upon him, passing over his body without m!mi a degree of its original momentum, The body was found ground and encased into the earth to a perfect level. Its ap- pearance was beyond all semblance to a human bod Deceased ‘was a married man and orig- | Iy came here from Philadelphia. A dow and two children survive him. HIS NOSE CUT OFF . WITH A BEER GLASS | Richard Feally of St. Helena on Trial | for Assault With a Deadly Weapon. Speciai Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, Jan. 19.—Richard Helena was on trial in Court here to-day on a char; Feally of St. the Superior : of assault | with a deadly weapon which was com- mitted upon George Newman. The cir- cumstances of the assault are very pe- culiar, as Feally cut Newman's nose off his face in a saloon brawl at St. Helena about the latter part of November. On the witness stand to-day Newman stated that the defendant struck him with a beer olass and cut his nose off his face, that he kept at the Crystal Springs for twenty-one days before his nose grew on again. That a piece of flesh had been cut from his shoulder to be used in graft- ing the nose on-his face again. Newman further stated that he 1 some trouble with Feally before the assault. The defenaant testified that Newman was the aggressor and in order to pro- tect himself he struck at Newman. Both parties are well known residents of St. Helena and the outcome of the case fs awaited with interest. 'Feally had to be brought into court three times during December before he was finally arraigned s he was drunk on three occasions. The case goes to the jury Saturday. - MARSHALL RELEASED. Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Granted. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 19.—W. A. Mar- shall, whose frequent attempts to test Marin County’s pumpgun ordinance have brought him frequently before the courts, appeared before Superior Judge Angellotti this morning on a writ of habeas corpus. A week ago Marshall, in company with his attorney, Charles Wheeler, went to Tomales. Marshall went hunting with one of the proscribed pumpguns and was Q‘rom]\lly arrested on the instance of ‘heeler and brought before Judge Tur- ner of Tomales. urner found Marshall uilty and sentenced him to pay a fine of 20 or spend twenty days in jail. Wheeler then informed - the Judge that he was about to swear out a writ of habeas cors pus before the Supreme Court, and asked that Marshall be released pending the fs- suance of the writ. The Judge thereupon released Marshal on his own recog- nizance. The case excited some attention at the time, for legal men questioned the court’s power to bring before it on a writ of habeas corpus a man who was at lib erty. Tills morning Wheeler brought Marshall over here and surrendered him to Sheriff | W. P. Taylor. The reason for this step was that the Supreme Court refused to institute habeas corpus proceedings un- less the writ was first issued by the Su- erior Court. As soon as Marshall was ncarcerated Wheeler petitioned Superfor Judge Angellotti for a writ of habeas cor- pus, which was immediately granted. In his petition Wheeler claims that it s not within the powers of the Board of Supervisors to prohibit the use of a re- peating shotgun. The case comes before the court next Friday and will arouse much interest among the sporting fraternity, as on Judge Angellotti's decision hangs the uestion of the validity of the cordially letested pumpgun ordinance. s ey Poisoned by Toadstools. Special Dispatch to The Call. PACIFIC GROVE, Jan. 19.-—-A case of poison from eating toadstools has just | occurred here, and although the persons affected are now out of danger, they had a very marrow escape from death. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Root, who are among the grove's winter visitors, bought some mushrooms, as they supposed, from a Chinese vegetable peddler, and shortly after eating them were taken with vio- lent cramps and other unmistakable symptoms of poisoning. A physleian was at once summoned and succeeded in ad- ministering antidotes before It was too late. The cause of the poisoning is sup- posed to be the presence of one or two | toadstools among the lot of mushroom for those examined by Mrs. Root befo being cooked were undoubtedly mush- rooms. —e Denied a Pardon.

Both were residents of Span- | ishtown, | Fialho succumbed this morning at the | Poor Farm to injuries Inflicted upon him in Spanishtown on Saturday night last by Aviles, who struck him upon the head with a demijohn. The row occurred in the house occupied by Aviles about 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening. Aviles, Fialho and a man named Man- uel Brown had been drinking heavily. | A demijohn of wine had been emptied. In filling the glasses the last time there was not enough wine to go around, and | 50 Aviles, who was_pouring it, only par- | tially filléa them. Fialho took exception to this and demanded a full glass. Be- t, he threw the giass at Aviles, and, as the lat- ter says, attempted to strike him with a | wine bottle. It was then that he struck | Fialho with the demijohn, knocking him down. Aviles floc made a bed for him on the - and made him as comfortable as | possible under the circumstances.

Dt Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, Jan. 19.—Reports come to San Diego by letter from Strawberry Val- ley that smoke and steam are fssuing from between the rocks and boulders of the basin of Mount Tauquitz and that the people are looking for an eruption of the big volcano of many years ago. Strawberry Valley is now in Riverside County, but was formerly a part of San | Diego County. It is a dozen miles from the Hemet Valley reservoir and the scene of activity is about ten miles beyond the valley in the San Jacinto Mountains, one peak of which is old Tauquitz. The hotel in the valley is now under the direction of Mrs. Keene. She says that ever since the big shake on the morning of December % the whole mountain has been in a state of quiver, and that the rumbling is being heard and the trembling plainly felt all the time. She says that | the tremor is so great at times that water | and other liquids are spilled out of ves- | sels that are set on the tables. These | continuous shakings have led to a sur- | mise that some big outbreak will take | piace in the near future. The place is not | very far from San Jacinto, the scene of the greatest damage on Christmas morn- ing, and the people there have been fig- uring somewhat on the chances of further damage if the activity of the-old volcano becomes more pronounced. The writer of the letter, Mr. Lovesize, who seems to be perfectly familiar with the country around Tauqguitz, says that the volume of steam and smoke issuing from the ground has been on the increase rather than on the decrease, though the tremors have been less pronounced. He sayvs that in the event of an eruption, which he seems to think is quite an un- likely occurrence, there will be no danger to the inhabited portion, as any lava which came from the mountain would | break out on the eastern side and run | toward the great Colorado Desert. POLYGAMOUS STATUS OF UTAH APPOINTEES Representative Grosvenor Makes a Flat Denial of the Statement of Lentz. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The investi- gation as to the alleged polygamous status of certain Federal appointees in Utah was resumed to-day by tne House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads. Before the committee met the members discussed informally the right and propri- ty of asking the President's secretary to submit_to interrogation, Chairman Loud maintaining that such a course would, in effect, amount to the summoning of the President and an inquiry into executive affalrs. Mr. Grosvenor made a flat denlal of the statement made by Mr. Lentz as to the words, “We have not let the grass grow under our feet” in reference to the charges. ln‘?pl_\' to many questions Mr. Gros- venor emp ed his sweeping denial of the language and inferences attributed to him by Mr. Lentz as reported in the news- papers. Mr. Lentz and Mr. Grosvenor explained the talk between them, showing the differ- ence was mainly as to words and that Mr. Lentz did not seek to place any inference on them. The hearing went over until next Tuesday, when Mr. Bristow will be heard further.
