The Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity HROLSED FROM SLEEP BY BRUTAL BEKTING Monrovia Man May Die From Effects of Desperado’s Attack. will | | | Special Dispatch to The Call. MONROVIA, July 8.—A daring hold-up and what may prove to be a brutal mur- der occurred at the Old Mission yester- day, a short distance south of Monrovia. | William Morales waylaid Jose D. Huges, | and, besides brutally beating him about | the head and forcing a poisonous liquid | into his mouth, stole his watch and Morales has a bad reputation. He is a brother of Jose Morales, the desperado ho shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Wi h in Monrovia several years ago and escaped. Willlam Morales has been mixed in several ugly scrapes, but has alwa: managed to escape the clutches of the law. Huges, the injured man, was for- merly a conductor on a railroad in Ari- zona, and was later a deputy constable in Los Angeles. He had been out to El Monte and. returning home, lay down by the roadside and went to sleep. While sleeping he was attacked by Morales and before becoming aroused was so weak from the injuries inflicted by the Mexi- can that he could not defend himself. Huges' head is badiy injured, and it is not known if he can live. Though in a weak condition, he positively recog- Morales as his assailant. very nizes BABY GIRL BORN ON *SAN RAFAEL TRAIN Little One Comes Into the World While Cars Speed Toward Sausalito.

The little one came into this world about half-way be- | tween this city and Sausalito. Mother and child were made as com- fortable as possible. and upon reaching Sausalito the services of Dr. Crumpton were enlisted. Word was telephoned to | this city and a neighbor took the next train, carrying clothes to the mother and | the dainty” wardrobe that had been pre- pared for the ckild.

WOODLAND, July 8.—Attorney Pills- bury, representing the Sunset Telephone Company, had an inning with the County Board of Equalization to-day. Last year the board raised the assessment of the | company to the extraordinary figure of | $150 per box, which is $125 per box higher than the assessment in any other county. | The company notified all its Woodland subscribers at the time that the Woodland | exchange would be discontinued on a cer- tain date. The business men of this city made a strong appezl, promising to use their influence to obtain a lower assess- ment this year, and the company rescin ed the order discontinuing the exchange. This year Assessor Smith valued each box & $50, and to prévent any raise and se- cure a further reduction if possible At- torney Pillsbury appeared before the board and made an argument to-day. The matter was taken under advisement, but remarks made by members of the board indicate that an Increase is probable. It is certain that there will be no further reduction. —_— Inspect a Canal Route.

SAN JOSE, July 8.—The compromise set- tlement that has been pending several | months in the attempt of the depositors | of the long defunct Union Savings Bank | to close its affairs is off, and the war in the courts has begun again, not to close | this time until the last dime of assets has | been distributed to the depositors. Late this afternoon Attorney Welch for the depositors filed a swgeping suit in equity, which involved 310 persons of this county as defendants and which outlines the present condition of the bank and prays the court to grant a decree that will im- | mediately compel the stockholders to pay the limit of their statutory liability and the directors of the bank to close its af- | fairs within a given time. In the event | of their failure it is asked that a commis sioner be appointed by the court to act In the complaint Welch charges the di- | rectors of the bank with breach of trust. | “It was their intention,” so the com- plaint s “to sell the stock of the bank | in settlement of a $10 assessment that was | levied, and they would have done so had | they not been prevented.” And again, “that said board of directors { has been guilty of other breaches of trust. It has unnecessarily delaved the | winding up of the affairs of the bank. Its administration of said bank has been ex- pensive and inefficient. There is now no prospect that tke directors will speedily ?riect_v‘nomlcally administer the bank’s af- airs. ‘‘President Rea has delayed the winding up of the bank affairs for his own inter- est long enough,” said Attorney Welch in speaking of the subject. “I am going to take a rest and come back to fight this thing to a close. I have never known of anything so scandalous or outrageous in my life. The bank closed its doors two and one- half years ago. Since then $160,000 has | been ‘paid the depositors, and $376,599 is | still due them. FRESNO'S NEW CHARTER NOW IN WORKING ORDER Mayor-Elect Stepfis Appoints Non- Partisan Boards and Com- missions.

SANTA ANA, July 8.—One of the most important real estate transactions in Orange County since the boom days has been closed. Colonel R.J. Northam has sold his splendid Mesa ranch at Bolsa Chico, consisting of 1600 acres, to the Western Coast Land and Water Company for a consideration of $100,000. The prop- erty has a beach frontage of three miles, and one of the first steps of the present owners will be to lay out a townsite for a pleasure resort on the Smeltzer branch of the Southern Pacific. Nearly every foot of the big ranch is under plow, and among its many improve- ments is a $14,000 pumping plant, which supplies sufficient water to irrigate 300 acres, and there is an abundance of water as_vet undeveloped. Under the contract a cash payment of $10,000 is required, which has already been made, the balance to be paid $5000 each year, with4nterest at 4 per cent. The un- usual condition is that if Colonel Nor- | tham's death should occur at any time | prior to the completion of the payment of $100,000, the sum then paid shall be deemed full settlement for the ranch, and a clear | deed passed accordingly. In other words, if Colonel Northam should die within the | present year the purchasing corporation | would secure the h for $10,000; next year, for $15,000, and so on. But as the colonel now appears there seems little doubt of his living the entire eighteen years required for him to receive the full ,000. The company, is capitalized at $200,000, all of which is subscribed. _ RESULTS OF RACES ON THE EASTERN TRACKS CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 8—Newport sum- mary: First race, seven furlongs, _selling—Brown Vail won, Polly Bixby second, Nannie J third.

HERE was another yachting fa- tality last Sunday. While the Thelma was homeward bound down Napa Creek the dingy went adrift. Without a moment’s hesi- tation Hugh McA. Marshall, brother of Commodore Marshall of the California Yacnt Club, jumped overboard to recover the boat, and being taken with cramps drowned before the eyes of his comrades. Early last week a party of yachtsmen made up their minds to go for a cruise. Among them were Carl Foard, W. W. Thompson, W. Ramsey, 4. Potter and W. Winter. Marshall had just returned from Monterey, where he is engaged in mining, and was asked to go along. He at first refused on the ground that he ought to be back at his pdst béfore the party ex- pected to return from the cruise. At the last moment he changed his mind, how- ever, and went along. The start was made from Oakland Creek last Wednesday at noon and Napa was reached early on Thursday. There was a liberal supply of fireworks on the yacht and the party celebrated the glorious Fourth in proper style. few short cruises were made, and during one of them Marshall was struck on the fore- head by the boom and received a lacerat- ed wound. It did not amount to anything, however, and a plece of sticking plaster fixed it up. After spending three most enjoyable days In and about Napa the yvacht’s head was turned for home Sunday morning. Both wind and tide were against them, so the progress was not very rapid. About 3:15 lp m. the Santa Rosa drawbridge was in sight, and just at that time the dingy went adrift. When Marshall jumped overboard after it none of the others paid any attention, knowing that he was a L e o ] ) SLAYERS OF MEREDITH ARRAIGNED IN SEATTLE Prosecution Tries to Prove That the ex-Chief Was Not Aggressor. SEATTLE, July 8—The preliminary hearing‘of John W. and Thomas Consi- dine, charged with the murder of ex- Chiet of Police W. L. Meredith, was be- gun to-day. From the evidence intro- duced it is evident the State will try to prove at the trial that some one not yet named began the fatal affray by firing a pistol shot at Meredith in the street be- fore Meredith fired upon John Considine with his double-barreled shotgun. The sixth-shot theory is a new one. Hereto- fore it has been agreed by all the wit- nesses that but four shots were fired and all these inside the drug store where killed. M]sf':nden‘;fvvtll’lse witnesses who testified to- day to having heard a pistol shot before Meredith began shooting was near the scene of the killing, and none saw any one shoot. All were more than the width of the street from the drug store. The eyewitnesses of the whole affray, of whom two testified to-day, have so far mentioned no shooting before Meredith opered fire, and Meredith has heretofore been ‘regarded as indisputably the ag- gressor. The testimony of the witnesses was conflicting, some saying the first re- ort was faint and some that it was very d. o%he ‘hearing will not be finished before to-morrow night, and it is attracting a great deal of public interest. Justice George’s courtroom was crowded to suf- focation. g POPULAR YOUNG YACHTSMAN WHO LOST HIS LIFE LAST SUNDAY. £ & good swimmer. The main sheet was at once let go, however, and the yacht brought_around. and headed after the dingy. The keeper of the “draw” then be- gan to signal those on the yacht to hurry, and_when the boat was about tweniy yards from the swimmer they could see that he was black in the face and appa- rently drowning. , Carl Foard seized a life buoy and threw it toward Marshall. It dropped right over his upraised arms, but_he never attempted to grasp it and sank out of sight. The Thelma was hove to and everybody on board watched anxiously for the body to come up, but it did not. Then they grappled for it, but without success. Fi- nally Foard and Ramsey went ashore and taking the train brought the news to the city. - The other members of the party are still aboard the Thelma and will not leave Napa Creek until the body is recovered. ‘The deceased was about 26 years old and was a_great favorite with all who knew im. He leaves a father and mother, two sisters and four brothers to mourn his oss. LOSES A PROMOTION THAOUGH EFFIGIENCY Revenue Office Clerk Cannot Be Spared to Take Higher Position.

Enraged by the Cutting of Pipes Supplying Her Residence. i Special Dispatch to The Call SAN BERNARDINO, July 8—J. H. Carruthers, general manager of the Anglo-American Canaigre Company, the Fortuna Development Company and the | Chicala Water Company, encountered a woman’s wrath on Saturday and figured as a principal in the first public whipping in this county in years. Mrs. Thomas, the woman who handled the rawhide, is the wife of H. B. Thomas, one of tha most prominent business men in Rialto. Carruthers, acting in the absence of George H. Towsey, collector for the wa- ter company, called at the Thomas resi- dence on Friday with a bill amounting to $6, which he said was for water used by the Thomas family during the months of May and June. The bill was challenged by Mrs. Thomas, who produced a state- ment covering those months which had been duly receipted by Towsey. - Accord- ing to Mrs. Thomas, Carruthers again put in an appearance at the Thomas home on Saturday, this time presenting a bill for $9. Mrs. Thomas refused 2 Carruthers declared t i would be paid or the water shut off from the Thomas residence. Suiting his actions to his words, he called a small boy and ordered him to procure a pick. Then Carruthers threw off his coat, and in the brolling sun worked energetically at dig- ging up the water pipe. Carruthers had cut the pipe and was hammering the edges together when Mrs. Thomas angrily protested. She says that Carruthers then used disrespectful lan- guage toward her. Seizing a blacksnake which lay in a wagon close by, Mrs. Thomas pulled up her sleeves and 'laid the lash across Car- ruthers’ back In quick, stinging blows. The whipping took place on the public street, and In a short time a large crowd gathered, and with taunts for the man and loud cries of encouragement to the little woman. Before Carruthers suc-e ceeded in wresting the Whip from her his white shirt was torn into shreds and great red welts stood out en his arms and face. After the whipping Mrs. Thomas.was escorted to her home by an admiring crowd and Carruthers rode off in the op- posite direction. Two hours later _the arm of the law was evoked and Mrs. Thomas has now all the water she can use. UMPIRE O’'DAY NEARLY MOBBED AT ST. LOUIS NATIONAL LBPAGUE. ST.
