Cheeseman lived in North Oakland, where he tried by jumping from a wind- | mill fan to end his life, foliowing that by | leaping from a ferry-boat, by taking poi- son several times, and each time escap- ing death. After his first discharge from a State hospital Cheeseman was rational for a time, but in August, 1898, he shot | and killed Henry Brook, stepfather of Miss Etta Payne, whom he also shot at ! their home, 136 Seienth stzeet.

Cheeseman made his escape from the asylum by sawing the bars and padlocks of his room. bars Cheeseman used a piece of rough-edged wire, with a nail in it, and twisted and twisted until one of the bars bent enough under the strain to be removed from its place. He then let himself down to the ground by | a rope made out of sheeting and took to | | the hills back of the asylum. His escape | was soon discovered by the night watch. ! Cheeseman is a dangerous man and has given the asylum authorities here a great | deal of trouble. Medical Superintendent Dozier of Napa believes that Cheeseman 1s not insane. He belleves that he should be sent to a ‘pienllenllary and not to an insane asylum. e says he would have discharged Cheese- man long ago, only he felt that such ac- tion would only result in the fellow being | sent back to an asylum again. !

Rea and Dr. McGraw, the latter. hLaving recently developed reform pro- clivities, had attempted Lo hold a meeting of the County Republican League an choose delegates to the State Convention ! of the Repuplican League Club. McGraw, who was president of the league, called the meeting for this afternoon at 2 o'elock. He had passed the word around among his friends to be present in force. The Mackenzie clique got word of what was going on and marshaled a force of some- 350 followers_ which compietely routed McGraw and Rea. ‘When McGrew and Rea saw they had been outflanked and were powerless in the hands of the Mackenzieites, they wanted to adjourn the :meeting for week. Rea appealed to the gathering to let it go over, in the interest of harmony. This started a wrangle, in which Rea found that he was alone, not a corporal’s fiuard of workers being 1eady to assist im. State Senator Oneal led the’ opposition to Rea. He objected to a postponement. It was an Oneal meeting and the crowd was with nim. There were cheers for Oneal, but there were rothing but hoots and ridicule for Rea, who made a valiant fight against big odds. The hissing was almost more than Rea could stand, and once or twice he seemed on the point of turning on the crowd. Once he said he ‘“‘did not propose to be set down upon by men I have cre- ated,” meaning Mackenzie, and then Le sald he had done more for “Johnnie” Mackenzie than for any one else. 1t was decided to proceed with the elec- tion of officers. Louis Oneal was unani- mously elected president. McGraw at once gave up the chair and beat a hasty retreat from the hall. Allen Brant was elected vice president, A. G. Bennett sec- retary and W. F.
