He refused anything further than that he fired | in self-defense. William Ragsdale, the only eyewitness to the shooting, gave the authorities an account of the’ tragedy and the causes | ieading up to it. He had lost a cow, and with “Indian Ed,” who works for him,{ started on horseback in search of ner. They had traced the animal to Van Gei- sen’s ranch. Van Geisen came out with rifie in hand and ordered them to move on. | They started to go, when Van Geisen lev- | eled his rifle at Ragsdale. The Indian re- | sented this, jumping from his horse and | taking the weapon away from Van Geisen. | Ragsdale and the Indlan then started | homeward, but had not gone far when | Van Geisen overtook them. After the ex- | Lange of a few words the Indian fired a from the rifie, killing Van Geisen in- | tly. Van Geisen fell from his horse, when he was picked up a cocked pis- tol lay by his side, | Van Geisen d Ragsdale have been at enmity for years, and the Indian and Van Geisen had had trouble.

Harri- man, who is looked upon as the successor of the late Collis P. Huntington in railroad matters in California, are not as familiar to the general public as those of the recently deceased president of the Southern Pacific Company. Collis P. Huntington was not averse to posing before the camera, and it was of- ten possible for an artist to sketch the famous financier and secure a striking portrait. Mr. Huntington would often ac- commodate newspaper artists and spare some of his valuable time for a *sitting.” Not so, however, with Mr. Harriman. He has declared many times that he will not be & subject for the man “who snaps the shutier,” and that his time is too valu- able to allow him to sit in repose long enough for an artist to transfer his fea- tures to paper. Harriman, however, has been conquered by a disciple of the kodak. Recently, wher. the railroad magnate and financier was driving near his stock farm at Tux- edn, N. Y., he was “‘shot at” with a kodak camera, and ing picture was se- cured. The photo printed herewith is the first of Mr. Harriman ever published on the Pacific Coaost. Edward H.

If he is as successful in the next dozen years as he has been in the past decade, he will be like Alexander the Great, “sighing for more worlds to conquer.” Harriman went from his conntry home to New York when he was but a lad. He drifted into Wall street and spent some years there as a broker. Then he be- came a private banker and at that time became associated with Stuyvesant Fish, the present president of the Illinois Cen: tral Railroad. The influence of Stuyve- sant Fish induced Harriman to give up his banking business and start out as a pro- moter. From the time Harriman became a promoter he has rapidly gone forward. To-day he virtually rules the Union Pa- cific and Southern Pacific raiiroads, shrewd deals having placed him in pos- session of controlling interests in these vast properties. Some say that Harriman simply secured the Southern Pacific stock for a ‘“‘deal” and that when it reaches a certain point he will unload on the market. There is little likelihood, however, of this rumor being true, as the Southern Pacific is ex- PLANS A FINE HOTEL FOR THE ANGEL CITY Charles A. Leighton to Ex- pend $400,000 on Mod- ern Structure. > Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 4.—Charles A, Leighton has arranged for the erection in this city of one of the largest and finest hotels in the West. The building is to be constructed under the supervision of Archi- tect John Parkinson. Its cost will ap- proximate $400,000. It will occupy nearly ar quite a block on Sixth street, extend- ing from Alvarado to San Juan streel. This site will give a wide view toward the mourtains on one side and the ocean on the other. The building will be about 300 feet long by 2% feet wide, built in L shape and on the old mission style of architecture. There will be 300 rooms, each pair having one bathroom, or 150 bathrooms in all. This is a third larger than the big hotel being built at Fourth and Spring streets. Broad verandas will be a feature of the new caravansary. Railway Builders Blocked. EUREKA, May 4.—The tracklayers of the Californian Northern Railway Com- pany were stopped this morning from put- ting down ralls on the Vance property on D street by Attorney C. M. Wheeler and Constable Webster. The track had been built up to the west side of the Vance prorerty and was being put down to con- nect with the track on the Kingston property. When Assistant Superintendent man was summoned he promptly ordered his men to restore the Vance half of the street to its former condition and then to go to work on the Kingston side. Newcastle Celebrates. NEWCASTLE, May 4.—The rebuilding of the town of Newcastle, which was al- most totally destroyed by fire in July last, was celebrated here to-night with a_grand opening at the Hotel Pomona. The First Regiment band and an excur- sion trainload of people attended from Sacramento and all local points were rep- resented. —_—— Saloon-Keepers Arrested. SANTA CRUZ, May 4—The owncrs of thirteen saloons in Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond and Ielton were arrested (his afternoon for violating the liquor ordin- ance, which prohibits saloens in this county outside of Santa Cruz and Watson- ville. " Five saloons are now closed in Boulder Creek. The arrests were expect- ed and the saloon men are ready to fight the case through the courts. Senilrniduid Murder and Suicide. PORTLAND, Or., May 4—A special to the Oregonian from Burns says: John Maher of Harney, while temporarily in- sane, shot and Kkilled James Wyatt and | then turned the revolver on himself with fatal results. pending a large amount of money in im- provements, rolling stock and trackage. Harriman Dislikes Interviewers. Collis P. Huntington was always acces- sible to newspaper reporters and very rarely refused to be interviewed. In fact, he rather liked to talk for publication. Not so, however, with Mr. Harriman. He has been known to have his special car sidetracked in order to avoid representa- tives of the press sent to interview him upon important matters. In order to seek relaxation from money making Mr. Harriman often hies himself to his superb stock farm at Tuxedo, New York State. He has a hobby for raising Jersey cows and blooded horses and takes great delight in handling the ribbons be- hind a fast equine. It was while engaied in this pursuit that Mr. Harriman's pho- tograph was secured, rs. Harriman, who was Miss Averill before her marriage, shares her husband’s tastes for rural life as a relief from the | noise and bustle of the city.

SAN RAFAEL, May 4—Little Oliver | Franklin narrowly escaped death in a | well on his father's ranch, near Point Reyes, yesterday afternoon. After re- maining in the well two hours he was | rescued by his parents. | _Oliver, who is 13 years old, attempted fo | Graw a’bucket of water from the well. The bucket became fast at the bottom and it was while trying to free it that His | foot slipped from the curbing and he fell headlong to the water twenty feet below. Fortunately he was not stunned suffi- ciently to prevent him grabbing the rope and holding himself above the water. Not until two hours later did his parents locate him. He seems none the worse for his experience. COLLEGE OF HERALDS ‘WROTH OVER CRITICISM LONDON, May 4.—That venerable insti- tution the Herald's College is jealous of its ancient privileges and has no intention of allowing them to lapse with the twen- tleth century. William Henry Weldon, Norroy king of arms, has brought a curi- ous libel suit against Ellis Marks, pro- prietor of the British and American her- aldic office, on the ground that Marks, in a circular to the Mayors of new munici- palities applying for an order to provide them with a coat of arms, impugned the authority of the Herald's College. Marks said he could do for £5 what they would charge £130 for doing. The circular main- | tained that the college’s charter had lapsed and that it was in a ‘“‘bad way and bolstered up by falsehood.” For expressing these sentiments Marks ‘was committed for trial. Counsel for Nor- f-Arms Weldon averred that the Heral Coliege was the only body ‘which could legally grant bearings, and was “so old that it was almost lost in | antiquity.” It transpires that the eriti- | cisms of the college were not very pro- ductive, for the British-American concern stopped doing business in January.

Lawyers Fail to Bring Out Evidence of Property Transfers. ARRE el Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, May 4—A stormy scene | was enacted in the Superior Court room | her2 to-day before Referee G. W. Towle Jr., when, in accordance with an order of the Superior Court of Tuolumne County, John J. Crooks and his wife were exam- ined regarding the wealth of the husband and the circumstances surrounding the transfers of property to his wife. Crooks was represented by Attorney J. K. John- | son, and the judgment creditor, Attorney Wijllam Grant, by Attorney M. Mulaney. To-day’s proceedings grew out of an ac- tion in Tuolumne County, where Grant | obtained a $30,000 judgment against Crooks. The case is on appeal to the Supreme Court and in the meantime the plaintiff is trying to get hold of some of the Crooks ‘wealth. To-day’s proceedings resulted in little beyond a vast assortment of objections by Attorney Johnson. The forenoon was tak- en by the consideration of the fate of a The horse was the creation of a hypothetical question, which was ar- gued by referee and attorneys and made certain testimony of Mrs. Crooks'. Mrs. Crooks Refuses to Answer. “Did you ever see any deeds made by your husband to you?' she was asked. Attorney Johnson objected and advised S5k o and she didn’t. The proposition. This afternoon the animal was turned out to pasture and the exam- ination continued. Mrs. Crooks was called to the stand. She testified that she had been married eight years. Her property interests were in charge of Jeremiah Burke and she did not know of her husband giving her any property. J. J. Crooks was next called to the stand.” His examination started with ref- erence to 9000 shares of stock in the Tuol- umne County Electric Light and Power Company. These, it developed, had been turned over to his wife two or three months ago. The witness testified that during the last two or three years he had | borrowed between $110,000 and $150,000 from | Mrs. Crooks and that he had placed this | | stock in_the safe deposit for her. He told | how he had borrowed sums varving from $10,000 to $50,000 from her at different times as though the amounts were merely car fares. When Mullaney pressed the ques- | | tons it was further developed that | Crooks now owns no real estate: that all | { of his property has been deeded to his wife by a deed drawn in 1367 by Plaintiff Grant, who at that time was his attorney. Mullaney also took a fling at Prince Poxi- atowski. “Do you know a Ponlatowski, sometimes called ‘Prince? " inquired Mullaney. Concerning a Marble Quarry. | marble quarry from Crooks and Paul | Jarboe, the defendants. Further question- | ing on this subject was headed off by an objection. The witness was next asked if he had deeded his New York property. | This his attorney objected to and, though Referee Towle ordered it answered, Crooks, on the advice of his attorney, re: fused to answer. When asked if he owned any property at all Crooks sarcastically replied “Yes; I own an equity of redemption in a valuable marble quarry in Tuolumne County.” { This was his fling at Grant. In conclu- slon Mullaney said: “So, Mr. Crooks, you are thoroughly, teetotally and completely bankrupt?” ‘Attorney Johnson here objected to the language and for the time being the ex- amination concluded. Mullaney asked the referee to refer back to Judge Nicol of Tuolumne Coun- ty the questions that Crooks refused to answer and get his ruling as to whether they were proper or not. For this pur- pose the examination was continued for three weeks, by which_time Jud, Nicol will have béen heard from. If he holds the questions good—and there are about The Prince and others had leased t}le. 1200 of them—Mr. and Mrs. Crooks will have to answer or be punished for con- tempt 15 DR.

LOUIS, May 4—A fire, probably started by a careless smoker, broke out underneath the center of a grand stand at National League Baseball Park at :30 this afternoon, and in a short time the grand stand, pavilion and office of the company were a mass of ruins. The fire spread with amazing rapidity, but the | spectators acted coolly and got out of the grounds without injury. The flames were fanned by a high wind, and for a time threatened to spread to other buildings in_the vicinity. The races were on at the Fair grounds. just across the street from the ball park, and the immense sheets of flame and huge billows of smoke created consterna- tion among the race patrons. The race- track fence caught fire, but before the flames could spread to the clubhouse and grand stand the Fire Department arrived on the scene and threw itself iato the breach. The loss is $30,000. WITHDRAWAL OF THE FRIARS. NEW YORK, May 4—A special to the Press from Washington says: Archbishop Ireland, who has been here for several days from St. Paul, has completed his conferences with the officials of the War Department and will return to the North- west. f:'is an open secret that the Govern- ment has asked Archbishop Ireland to as- sist in obtaining the assent of the papal court to a withdrawal of the friars. He also has been asked to further canvass the situation and determine upon some feasible means of providing for the friars. The Archbishop is exceeding reticent as to the object of his visit to the national capital and as to the results which may accrue from his conferences. It is known that he came to the capital at the invita- tion of the Government to discuss the question of the future relations between church and state in the Philippine Islands.
