At 3 oelock afternoon a special train of teen cars, bearing the regiment, led out of the depot. There was 2 large crowd present to bid good-by to the young soldiers. The fair sex predomi- nated and th good-bys and au revoirs had a note of sincerity in them. The leave-taking was a sad one and seemed to be made more so by the band’s rendi- tion of “Auld Lang Syne.” As the train pulled out of the depot the cheers of the cadets found an echo in the shouts of the residents of Napa. Coupled with these were the shouts of half a bat- ta of cadets, who were left behind in leave on schedule time. ieutenant Colonel McGloin discovered in ck time that many of the men failed 10 get aboard.

SHIP CAPTAIN SAVES A WOMAN FROM DEATH 4 o Bluff City Tries to Kill Lena ‘Walton. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., July 2L.—A tragedy was narrowly averted on the steamer Elmore by the quick action of Captain Charles Davis. _The United States Court at Nome had decided that Carl Perry was a jumper on mining prop- |erty on Black Guich, near Bluff City, which was claimed by Miss Lena Wal- ton. After the decision had been ren- dered all parties boarded the Elmore for Bluff City to take possession of the cov- eted claim, and just before the steamer reached that place Miss Walton and Perry had some words. The latter whipped out his pistol, but before he could pull the trigger Captain Davis disarmed him. When Bluft City was reached Perry, fearing arrest, disappeared and Miss Walton reached the mining claim, posted her notice and was in possession. The property is said to be one of the most promising in that district. Claims the Nelson Estate. WILLOWS, July 2L.—Walter Harrison, through his attorneys, filed a petition in the Superior Court yesterday to have himselt declared natural heir to the es- tate of H. W. C. Nelson, deceased.

Great piles of wheat and dried fruit are still smoldering near the town. Men, women and children worked heroically last night to stay the flames. The work of the women of ‘Winters compels the highest praise. It is probable that the cause of the fire will never be known. It started in the packing-house of the Winters Dried Fruit Company and was discovered at 6:30 o'clock, not over twenty minutes after F. W. Wilson, the manager of the institu- tion, and his bookkeeper had gone to din- ner, At 3 o’clock the one fire in the build- ing had been carefully extinguished, and the place was put in good order at the close of a hard week’s work. ‘Wind Spreads the Flames. The strong wind caused the flames to spread to Chandler's office, sheds and lumber yard. These made a tremendous blaze. There was so little water that it was useless to try to put out any fire, and wue efforts of the townspeople were turned toward preventing its spreading to ad- Joining buildings. Acrcss the street, to the south, was J. L. Harlan's fruit pack- ing house, a large two-story building, anu then came the loading sheds and warehouses of the big shipping com- | panies, all filled with many thousands of | dollars worth of lumber and crates as well as fruit. Men swarmed over the building with wet blankets and buckets of water, and, de- spite the intense heat, prevented the structures from igniting. On the north side was the Buckeye Grangers’ Ware- . house Association’s warehouse No. 1, | which was partially filled with grain. An effort was made to save it, but there was soon destroyed: child able to carry a bucket was on duty and saved the dwellings, but two barns were destroyed. They were the last to go and made an end of the fire. The losses are as follows: Losses High in Thousands.

Since the shooting the town has been in a state of turmoil, and for a time there was, prospect of a lynching. This afternoon there was a meeting of 800 angry citizens in Cleveland Hall and the greatest excitement prevailed. All classes of citizens attended, from the superin- tendent of a Sunday school to the ordin- ary laborer. The crime was vigorously denounced and measures were taken to rid the town of objectionable characters. * The shooting was the result of the Mayor's effort to preserve order among persons who insisted on fighting on the street. Four machinists, Charles Wax- smith, George Gregg, H. W. Wokly and John Bottoms, ended their_work at 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Shortly after 7 o’clock they were under the influence of liquor.

The disturbers were then given leave to depart on their promise of good behavior. Tries to Use a Knife. The quartet walked down the street a short distance and then turned loose on a second Mexican, who drew a knife. He slashed Waxsmith' across the forehead,cut oren the left side of his face and ripped his coat. O’Hara and Baker were watch- ing the machinists. The Mayor ordered Constable Beard to arrest the offenders, but he sald he had no warrant to do so. ‘Waxsmith = rushed into Lagomarsino’s saloon and came out with a carving knife, but bystanders prevented him from using it.
