F:ARMER éfiOOTS HIS SON-IN-LAW | Painter Bassett, of Bad Repute, At- tacks Rancher Cooper’s Daugh- ter and Is Slain by Her Father. Special Dispateh to The Call. | RED BLUFF, Aug. 1—At Paskenta, | Tuesday night, Arthur L. Bassett was | shot ana killed by his father-in-law, G. | W. Cooper, while the latter was seeking to protect his daughter from Bassett's at- | tack. | Sherifft Bogard and Coroner Bailey started for the scene of the killing on hearing of the affray, and District Attor- ney Gill and Court Reporter Brownlee started later. From meager reports it is learned that Bassett, who married Cooper's daugter on May 22, 19, was working in Paskenta at his trade as a painter, and each night went to the Cooper ranch, three miles from town. He would go home drunk and run the women out of the house with a nife. He did this Tuesday, and Mr. Cooper was sent for. When he arrived Rassett started at him with the knife and Cooper shot him. | Mr. Cooper Is 56 years old and has a | family of grown children. He has the reputation of being a peaceable and law- ablding citizen, and the opinion prevails Last night he was at the | ag lPaskenta that the killing was justifi- able. Bassett, who was 33 years old, had a very unsavory reputation. He shot a woman in San Francisco several years ago and was sent to San Quentin. While making a break for liberty, he was shot in the arm by a guard and it had to be amputated. He also figured as a “private detective” in the Hayden trial at Weaver- ville, and a few weeks ago stabbed a man in Redding.

ANOTHER TUGBOAT TO ROUND CAPE HORN Special Dispatch to The Cal NEW YORK, Aug. 1-—Tugboat trips from New York to San Francisco are still unusual enough to deserve comment, al- though one vessel of this type recently completed the journey without incident and another is now on the way., The last to essay the voyage is the tug L. Lucken- bach, a craft which was recently sold by | & Co. of San Francisco. The Luckenbach is to sail as soon as she can be equipped for her long voyage. Captain McCoy, who will command her on the trip to the Golden Gate, has no doubt that he will take her safely through the Straits of Magellan and to her des- tination. The Luckenbach is of the type called ‘“‘ocean-going,’ and it is the boast of those who sail this type of tug that they can outride a storm which would swamp much larger steamers. The Luckenbach is one of the biggest of her cla measuring 135 feet in length. Her gross tonnage is 260. Steaming at a twelve-knot gait, the vessel can carry coal sufficient for three weeks. CRAZY CHINESE YELLS AT CROWD FROM CUPOLA Ah Jim, a Chinese domestic, was taken to the Receiving Hospital last night and placed in the detention cell to await trial before the Insanity Commissioners, Jim in some manner got on the roof of the Pioneer bullding on Fourth street and cried lustily for help. Officer Me- Cormick went to his assistance, but when he reached the roof the Chinaman had climbed to the high cupola of the building and attracted a large crowd on the street below by his loud vells. When the officer started to go through the cupola Jim slid down the flag rope and jumped to the roof of the next building, about thirty-five feet below. McCormic! followed, and when he reached the crazy man he was surprised to see he was un- injured beyond a sprain of one wrist. The officer was compelled to use his club in order to subdue him.

That is the game that has been played with them for the past nine years. | The death of thelr Indian mother and the desertion by their unnatural father, an English lawyer, threw them upon the charity of the cold world. They were sent to this city to be taken care of, but the | immigration officials, fearing that they may become public charges, refused to al- low them to land. Their case is very peculiar, if not mys- terious. Their names are Lillie Gertrude Low, aged 14 years; May Low, 12 years; and Arthur Low, 10 vears. They arrived on the steamer Walla Walla yesterday morning, and Mrs. McMahon of 42 Hayes street was at the dock to receive them.

Mc- Mahon replied that she was a Jesuit, but she was unable to give the name of the riest in her parish and excused herself z saying that she seldom attended church and that the parish priest was changed so often that it was impossible to keep track of him. She admitted frank- ly that if Father Nickolal failed to send her the money she would be unable to support the children. Her husband is a carpenter and is at Cape Nome. Lillie, or Gertrude as she is commonl. called, said that her mother was a dnr‘ woman and her father a British lawyer. She is a bright girl of modest demeanor.
