O. Howe. When n States tried to secede from Major Howe enlisted in the cause, and fought through the honor to himself and success the Union northern war with to his first effort to quell secession. Then the major married and settled down to tha raising of a large family, v, and came to Californla. | which he | e into his life from all First it was a political seces- jor Howe had been an earnest Republican, like most old soldiers, but when he settled in_the Sonoma Valley | he seceded from the Rerubl(can party and | became the first Populist candidate for Congress in that district many years ago. Following that, the major came to Oak- | land, and during the Presidential cam- paign of four years ago he became quite excited over the prospect of the election, and withdrawing from Oakland to a small |island in the Sacramento River he an- { nounced his secession from the United | States of America. He raised his own | flag over his island and declared that he would never set foot in the United States | of America as long as Hanna was in the Senate. Secession became uncomfortable after about three weeks of experiment, and the major came back under the flag. | ‘When Mrs. W. O. Howe decided to se- cede from the Howe family things took on a different complexion, and now the mflajur wants to be avenged by the courts, and he demands a_divorce. “Professor’”” W. V. Durbin came into Major Howe's life some months ago when he appeared at the Howe printing office and wanted some job work done ?n the interests of the science of ‘“‘solar biol- ogy,” of which he was the ‘‘professor.” | The major liked the “‘solar blologist” and | the “solar blologist” liked the major's | wife, and that was how it all came about. | The major took the ‘“solar blologist"” to his home, and, as the complaint filed by h> major now asserts, the “solar biolo- took the home away with him. don’t know_what olar biologist® i said Major Howe, “but T know that that fellow was a fraud.

WOLCOTT LSt OF THE PILOT Mining Expert Benjamin's Thrilling Deseription of the Wreck. ——— Extraordinary Heroism of a Fireman and the Cowardice of a Passen- ger—Cast Away on a Nar- row Beach. (R, Edward H. Benjamin, the well-known mining expert, who was a passenger on | the Pacific Steam Whaling Company's | steamer Wolcott when that unfortunate vessel was wrecked on Kadlak Island, Alaska, on the night of January 31, is at | his home in Oakiand, having arrived from Seattle on the Oregon express last night. George C. Mayon and wife, who were also in the wreck, were passengers on the train that brought Mr. Benjamin from the north, and are now stopping with Mrs. Mayon's parents, who reside in Oakland. Mr. Benjamin was met at Port Costa by his wife, and several friends were in walting at the Sixteenth-street station to | greet him as he stepped off the traiv and to congratulate him on his miraculous es- eape from almost certain death. The pub. lished reports of the disaster to the Wo! cott give but a meager idea of the ter-| rifying experiences through which the yaasen ers and crew of the vessel passed rom the time the ship struck the rocks until the final rescue by the steamer Excelsior. The officers and crew ot the doomed_ship displayed remarkable hero- ism under most trying circumstances, in glaring contrast to the abject cowardice | exhibited by one of the passengers, Dep- | uty United States Mapshal L. L. Bowers | of Unger, who was on his way to Sitka in | charge of three Federal prisoners. i It is sald that not only did this creature leave his prisoners locked up in a room to die like rats in a trap unless they could | force their way out, but he was the first | man over the side of the ship when the | boats were finally cleared away, pushing Mrs. Mayon aside in his frantic endeavors to make sure of saving his carcass. This | act of brutal cowardice nearly cost the | deputy marshal his life, for the o‘her | passengers and the officers of the ship | were so incensed that nothing but the ab- | solute necessity of devoting every second | to saving their own lives prevented sum- mary justice being meted out to him, The hero of the occasion, according to | Mr. Benjamin, was the fireman, an old | man-o’-warsman named Charles’ A. El-| rick. Elrick was a gunner on the Trenton | when that warship was wrecked at Apia, Samoa, and he shipped on the Wolcott under the neme of Rowell. Although he had changed his name the man was there. | Elrick shoveled coal into the furnaces of the sinking whaler, until the water rose to his shoulders, in order to keep up steam until the doomed vessel could be beached. At last the water was so high that it was useless for him to remain longer at his ost, but before reporting off to ¥ngineer glorflsl he made one final effort, diving | idden | i | of coal. The bulldog courage that caused him to remain at his post was not with- out reward, however, for as the fires un- der the boilers went out the keel of the vessel ted on the sandy bottom a few hundreflards from the shore. 3 “I never want another such experience, said Mr. Benjamin last night. “It was God's will that we should saved or I | would not be here now. The afternoon of | January 31 was - perfect. The air was | balmy and the sea as smooth as glass. | “We passed Karluk heads at 9:30 p. m. | and were headed for Unyak Bay, twenty- two miles distant. Our course lay past Cape Unyak, and although the night was dark, the weather was clear and no dan- ger was apprehended. A strong north- | west wind sprang up and when we re- tired to our bunks at 10 o'clock it was| blowing pretty strong and there was quite | a sea on. Captain Snow went to his state- | room at 10:30, leaving the ship in charge | of Pilot Keen, and an hour later we were | on the rocks. It appears the pilot thought | he saw the lights of the Pacific Steam | Whaling Company’'s cannery, which fis| located on Unyak Bay, and headed the| vessel in shore. In view of the fact that the log showed we had made but nine, miles since passing Karluk heads and the distance to the entrance of the bay was | eighteen miles, the action of the pilot ap-| pears inexecusable, but as I am not a navigator I will not attempt to pass judg- | ment. The vessel first struck on the rocks | at the bow. A second later a wave ralsed | her and carrying her forward thirty feet or so dropped her on the rock amidships. | The ship was again lifted and swept for- ward by the waves until her stem crashed | against the rocks. By this time we were afi on deck and knew the ship was! doomed. The wind had developed into a ale, and it was impossible to launch the ats. Captain Snow backed the vessel| off the rocks, and crowding on all steam headed the steamer out to sea until she | rounded Cape Unyak, and then turned her prow toward the shore. Our only hope was to beach her inside the point where the water was not quite so rough. Tt was an anxious time, and we would | never have reached shore alive but for the heroism of Fireman Elrick and the coolness of Engineer Theodore Morriss, who, by the way, is a San Francisco man. “The boats were finally cleared away. and the passengers conveyed safely to shore, followed by the crew. We landed on a little strip of beach scarcely fifty feet wide at the foot of gigantic perpen- dicular cliffs 500 feet high. Between the foot of the cliffs and the water there was about fifteen feet of beach at low tide, and fortunately the tide was out when we landed. At high water the beach was overflowed, but there was a narrow gorge between the cliffs extending inland and packed with snow. This gorge w: gcarcely twenty feet wide, but it was our salvation. When the tide came in we scrambled up on this snow, and when it was out we camped on the beach. A drizzly rain fell continually, but fortu- nately it ws warm, otherwise we would have perished.” The party succeeded in getting plenty of supplies ashore and after three days they sea subsided somewhat and they e their way in the small boats to the can- nery, nine miles distant, where they were found by the Excelsior on February 27. Mr. Benjamin has only words of praise for Captain Snow, J. H. Rand and E. B. Wood, first and second mates of the Wol- cott, for thelr coolness, skill and bravery. Captain Snow will arrive in San n- clsco to-da: WILCOX'S MEMORY GOOD. Three Shots Were Fired Into His ‘Wife’s Body, as He Stated. Special Dispatch’to The Call. SANTA ROSA, March 16.—Although George F. Wilcox, the wife murderer, claims to have been insane when he com- mitted his brutal deed and although he says that as soon as he fired the first shot into his wife's prostrate body he com- pletely lost himself and has no distinct recollection of what followed, he certainly recalled some of the detalls of the affair very clearly. This was prove to-day when the body of his victim was exhumed and examined by the authorities. At his preliminary hearing Wilcox stated that he fired three times, all of the shots taking effect. He said the first bullet en- tered his wife's head back of her left ear, the second struck her in the left eve and | the third shot was fired while the revolver was held close to the prostrate woman's cheek. The testimony introduced at the Coroner’s inquest was that but one bullet had struck the victim and that in her head. The conflicting statements led to the body being exhumed to-day for examination as stated. examination_took place at Kelsey- Wilcox was buried last Sunday. Sherlff Franic P.
