The Mexicans took the camp by storm, destroyed the surveying transit and blew | up the outfit with dynamite. The three Americans there drew guns and by keep- ing a sentry posted all the time saved their lives.

Elliott of Oxpard, Cal., at 10 o'clock to-night shot | 7. W. Sherman in a brothel at 71 North | Market street, and in half an hour Sher- man was dead, not having spoken intelli- gibly after the shooting. Elliott, who is a native of Lancashire, England, and a little less than 22 years old, says that he shot Sherman because the latter nad placed his (Sherman’s) wife in a aouse of ill-fame. Elliott, in ex planation of his interest in the matter, says that in San Francisco five years ago beside the dead father of Bessie Bray, then 15 years old, and in the presence of uniforms her mother, he raised his right hand and | swore that no harm should ever befall the girl. Though boy and girl, they were plighted lovers. He says about & year 4go the girl married J. W. Sherman. Three weeks ago while at Oxnard he, heard that the girl was in trouble, and went at once to San Francisco. There he was informed tnat she and Shermian had disappeared. Elifott says that after two weeke search . in San Francisco he yesterday Jearned that Sherman and his wifé: were in Ban Jose, an early train, arriving at noon. An hour later he met Sherman on the street and Sherman, under compulsion, admitted to him that his wife was leading a life of shame. In the evening, he says. he ac- companied Sherman to the house, and when he met the girl was overcome ani drew his pistol to shoot himself. . Sher- man ran toward him, apparently to'seiz: the weapon, when Elliott changed his mind and shot Sherm: @ i e WILL BURN EFFECTS OF CIOLGDSE| Continued From Page One.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 27.—The press is made the medium for the last message from the father of Leon Czolgosz to the condemned assassin who will pay the pen- alty for his terrible deed in Auburn prison on Tuesday morning. In an interview this afternoon “the elder Czolgosz was asked what he had to say finally to his unfortu- nate son. The old man's eyes filled with tears as he replied deliberately: “Tell Leon that I hope he may rest in peace; that he will become reconciled to God, and will meet his end bravely. Tell him that as much as 1.and all of our fam- ily regret his most unhappy plight, we can do nothing to interfere; that he alone 18 responsible for his unforiunate sin, and that he must meet his_punishment as a consequence.” 2 Further .conversation effeited that the purpose. of Waldeck sZ's visit to Buffalo is for ‘the diSposition of the body when the law’s mandate shall have been carried out. Up to this afternoon no in- formation has been recelyed .by the elder Czolgosz from Waldeck, and this is taken 10 mean that the father's Presence at the death .scepe is_not .desired. The entire family arrangements in Waldeck’s hands and what steps grwlfl take is a matter of uncertainty." The ‘expense of | conveying the body from Auburn to Cleve- land is one of. the.comsiderations that causes hesitancy in the announcement of definite arrangements. Paul Czolgosz, the father, sald that there was some fear ;of mutilation or other undesirable oceurrence if the body were broufht to Cleveland ‘immediately alter the electrocution. “This fear had led to the consideration -of ' cremating the body in Buffalo or in some other city. Some anonymous communications to the Czolgosz family bave mentioned the fact that the body mlgm& valuable as; a scientific object to medical people and would bring a good.. of money, but further than mere hints.mo definite offer has_been made. It was said that such en @ r would be distasteful to the fam- ily wod would mot be considered.

OFFICERS TALK OF FOUL PLAY Violept Death of Man at Corning Arouses Suspicion. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call, CORNING, Oct. 2.—Willlam Bailey was found dead near the railroad track at the north end of town early this morn- ing and his passing from life is hedged about with just enough mystery to puzzle | the county authorities. The manner of the man’s death is now being investi- gated. According to the testimony of a num- ber of persons here Bailey indulged to a considerable degree in intoxicating drink last night. With him was a companion to whom he made known his purpose to commit suicide. It is stated by those who watched the actions and heard the con- versation of the two men that Bailey’s friend sald he also was tired of life and would gladly join in.the tragic business of self-destruction. The men left the saloon where both had been drinking and walked a_short dis- tance down the railroad track. Bailey drew a revolver and spoke again of sui- cide. His companion, either from fear or a return of good judgment, changed his mind and put as much distance between himself and Bailey as his fleetness of foot would permit. All that Bailey did between the time of the friend’s reconsideration and abrupt departure and the former's death is a matter of conjecture, but it is generally considered that he took his own life. There is, however, one circumstance which appears to disturb the theory of self destruction. This is that no powder burns are to be found near the place where the bullet entered. The authorities are disposed to attach some importance to this fact and suspect that there may have been foul play. e RNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AT 'SPECIAL SERVICES Members of the Order Honor the Memory of the Discoverer of America. ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Cardinal Mar- tinelli and Dr. Rooker of the Papal Lega- tion, the Rev.

The greatest damage was done at Port Essington, just above the Indian village of Inverness..

The gale struck the little ‘town late.in the afternoon and raged all might.

Special Dispatch to The Call. | i UKIAH, Oct. 27T,—This morning suci early risers as chanced to stroll around | the Courthouse square in this city no- ticed a long rope pendant from, the roof of the County Jail and reaching to the ground. An Investigation followed, and it was- discovered that four prisoners hal escaped from jail during the night. The surprise was great, as heretofore the jail has been considered perfectly safe. The four who escaped were George Mi- chael, awaiting trial for horse stealing; Fred ‘Housman, awaiting trial for for- gery; Jim Dempsey, serving time for petty | larceny, and Lorenzo Jeft, a half-breel | Indian, committed for battery. Five other | prisoners refused to escape. The manner of escape was ingenious | but simple. Within the main room of the | Jail there is a iarge cage of crossed bals | of steel, and into this tne cells open. On three sides this cage does not touch the wall. The prisoners were not locked in thefr cells, but were allowed the joint | use of the large space of the cags | Along the east end of the cage |is ( movable bathtub. A few days ago the| |-eement floor beneath this tub was prokea | up to fix some defect in the plumbing, and the broken part was mended with fresh cement. | Removing the tub, the prisoners, with | a wire shovel and caseknives, dug and brokeout.a hole in the cement and crawl- | ed under the steel grating to _the corridor, | which surrounds the cage. They found a large sea-grass mat of the kind which is | first made into a kind of rope and thea coiled from the.center outward. Cutting | the stitches which held this together, | they coiled a strong rope some sixty fef | long. Next they climbed to the top o: | the cage, threw the rope ovér the steel girders, about twelve feet above, and pulled 'tnemselves up. Standing on the | girders, they opened a pane of the sky- light, climbed fo the roof, let down their | rope on the outside and descended haml under hand. They broke through the cement floor | about 9 o’clock, but did not complete the | escape until about 2 o'clock this morning, |'as reported by the remaining prisoners. The night was very stormy, and on ac- | count of a burned-out dynamo the streets were not lighted. It was a most favorable ) night for the attempt. Sheriff Smith im- | mediately sent deputies out on all roads, | but at this hour none of the escaped men | have been overhauled. | lDUCHISB OF MANCHESTER | GIVES BIRTH TO DAUGHTER Both the Mother and Child Are Re- ported to Be Doing Well.
