Sensational Statement Made About a Supposed Suicide. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. BUTTE, Mont., March 28.—The startling assertion was made in the District Court to-day in connection with the trial of a case growing out of the bribery and scan- dal over the building of the State educa- tional institutions for Moxtana that John C. Paulsen, the State Architect, who was supposed to have committed suicide in March, 1897, is not dead, but is living at the present time somewhcre in Germany. By a scheme of bribery and xraft it had been charged that Paulsen obtained from the contractors, J. A. Riddle, C. E. $8000, for which he secured contracts for them, approved their accounts and made large and excessive estimates of the work done in their favor. When the disclosures were made by the discoveries of Riddle, who was not a party to the corruption, Roach made aj confession and implicated a number of other people. Paulsen was forced to a confession also and promised to make res- titution. He went to his home in Helena money, | anda few hours later word was sent out that he had died, that rcport being fol- mitted suicide. The body was al once placed in a receiving vault by his wife, who had refused to admit any one to th: house to see the body. An insurance company which carried $6000 on Paulsen's life became suspicious | and had a local agent investigate the | death and he saw the body in the vauit, but stated that the face of Paulsen wi very lifelike.

SHAM ATTACK AT NIGHT | | the Battleship Wisconsin TUnperceived. SAN DIEGO, March 28.—The torpedo- boat Farragut slipped out of the harbor soon after dark to-night with the fell de- technically torpedoing the big ying at anchor off Coronado beach. The Wisconsin had been notified that she might expect a visit from the destroyer at any time between sunset and the rising of the 1aoon at about midnight. On board the battleship the same watch was kept and the same precautions taken as in actual war. The conditions were that the Farragut must | get within 1500 yards of the battleship be- The darkness favored the torpedo-boat and she glided along toward the Wiscon- sin, narrowly missing a picket-boat. When from 1000 to 800 yards from the bat- | tleship the latter's searchlights found her and a rocket proclaimed the fact. Those on the Farragut claim that they won and theoretically sent the battleship to the bottom of the Pacific.

The Gage organs are now bent on dragging the State University into poli- tics. The Berkeley Gazette offers this | suggestion: ‘‘There is no question that | the university owes much to Governor | Gage for his earnest and fearless efforts | in bebhalf of the university. At his sug- gestion a general blll was passed which gives $100,000 a year extra to the uni- versity for a mumber of years.” One of the best and noblest friends that the university ever had was Judge Wi- nans of San Francisco, who fought man- fully in the constitutional convention of | 1878-79 to keep the State's great institutlion of learning out of politics. e succeeded in placing this provision in article 9, sec- tion 9 of the constitution of Californla: The University of California shall constitute a public trust. * * * It chall be entirely independent of all political or sectarian influence and kept free therefrom in the appoinc- ment of its Regents and in the ad- ministration of its affairs. The Gagelings of the press who are try- ing to win applause for Gage from the faculty and student body of the um- versity are getting close to the danger line of politics. Gage took a solemn oath to support the constitution of the State of California and that constitution dis- tinctly commands - that the university shall be entirely Independent of all politi- cal influence and kept free therefrom in the administration of its affairs. Must Violate Oath. Gage cannot drag this institution into his campaign for re-election without knowingly and willfully violating his oath of office. It is common gossip that the State Normal School at 8an Jose has been thrown into the pool of politics, but the hint of the Berkeley Gazette i3 the first intimation that the State University is to be worked. 1t may be worth while for friends of the university to know that the Jaw providing a permanent tax of one cent for the mairtenance of the uui- versity was passed during Governor Per. kins' administration, and further that tne law providing an additional tax of one cent was enacted during Governor Budd's administration. When Gage went into of- fice the revenue of the university was es- tablished and the institution was cut of politics. It is his duty to keep it entirely independent of all political influence. Let him restrict his political operations to the Home for Feeble Minded in Sonoma County and the Harbor Commission of San Francisco. Governor Gage appointed the following Agricultural rectors yesterday: ¥or Napa County—H. H. Thomas, F. W. Bush, C., D. Falconer, George Berry, R. F. Taylor, A. H. Brown and D. E. Osborne. ., Tnyo and Alpine counties— George L. Albright and John B. Jones. The Dibble Republicans. The Dibble Republicans in the Forty- first Assembly District heid a meeting at Pixley Hall last night. The meeting was presided over by Frank W. Marston. A etter from Governor Gage expressing his regret at being unable to attend the meet- ing was read. The attendance, which was very small, was addressed by Henry C. Dibble, Dr.- W. E. Smith and Robert Gier. The following delegates were then chosen to represent the district at the convention | to be held at San Jose next month: W. C. Van Fleet, W. Cluffr, H. J. Crocker, J. A.

Mrs. Grace Duncan, formerly Grace Martin, who was married on March 19 to W. W. Duncan, a motorman employed on the Mission-street line . of the Market- street Railway Company, swallowed a dose of carbolic acid about noon yester- day and is now lylng at her residence, 44215 Twenty-ninth street, in a precarious condition. Her relatives claim she took the poison by mistake. Mrs. Duncan Is about 18 years of age and is said to be the daughfer of a Mrs. Inch. Her father is Thomas Martin, who runs a ranch in the vicinity of Stockton. He is expected to arrive in the city this morning, having been apprised of his daughter's serious condition. It is rumored that family differences caused the young woman to take poison, notwithstanding the assertion that the| taking of the polson was accidental. It is said that her mother objected to her recent marriage and that this preved upon her mind. Members of her family say, however, that she was playing the piano and singing at noon yesterday and did not give the least intimation of de- spondency. She was found by her mother writhing in pain soon after she had taken the poi- son. Physiclans were at once sent for, and everything possible is being done to relieve the young woman.

CASPER, Wyo., March 25.—Charles Francis Woodward, the condemned mur- derer of Sheriff W. C. Ricker of this| county, was hanged in his night clothes at 1 o’clock this morning by twenty-four masked and armed men on the scaffold | erected for his legal execution.

Sheriff Tubbs was immeaiately bound and the keys were secured. After this there was no resistance to the .iynchers. ‘'hey soon found tne prisoner and led him to the scaffold erected in the jail yard on which ‘Woodward was to have beem hanged to- day but for the intervention of a respite granted by the Supreme Court. A rope was quickly fastened to a beam and a noose placed about Woodward’s neck. While this was going on Woodward talked rapidly. His woras were partly inco- herent, but this was gathered from his talk: Appeal on the Scaffold. Boys, lét me pray. I want to pray for all of you and send a message to my biessed little wite, 1 love her dearly and want you to teil her that. 1 pray that you will have the papers print it. 1 pray for you, Charles Ricker, and for all ot you. 1 nmever had a grudge against Sheriff Ricker, never in God's worid. 1 never meant to shoot him.

Kicker of Natrona County. . Killing of a Sheriff. Woodward, with his wife Bertha and brother Clarence, was arrested previously on the charge of stealing ciouning and provisions from a ranch. It was aileged that Woodward's: ranch was the head- quarters of a band of cattle and horse thieves. At the preliminary trial Bertha Voodward was released from custody. e brothers were held to the District Court, but were unable to furnish bonds. On the night of December 30, 1901, they sawed off the bars of their cells and a window and got away. At the stock- vards east of town Charles Woodward se- cured a pistol which had been piaced | a horse and rode to his ranch, reaching the place on the evening of January 2, 1902. Instead of finding-friends ready. to assist him he found Sheriff Ricker and two deputies at the house, who were looking for him. _He went to the barn, intending to_abandon his horse and steal | one of the officers’ animals. It was about 7 o'clock In the evening, and was quite dark. He mounted one of the Sheriff's horses and was ready to ride away when the Sheriff came out of the bhouse, and, approaching the barn, ordered him to sur- render. Woodward instantiy shot the Sheriff through the body, and the officer fell to the ground, mortally wounded. Woodward then, it is sald, went to the | dying man and struck him on the face with his six-shooter. CHEYENNE, Wyo.,, March 28.—Acting Governor Chatterton this afternoon sent to A. T. Bueler, Prosecuting Attorney of.{ Natrona County, the following telegram: | “In the brutal lynching of Woodward the fair name of Wyoming has been dragged in the mire, the order of our Supreme Court disregarded, the law grossly violated. The reports indicate that no precautionary steps were taken | bY the officers of the law to prevent its violation. 1In the name of the law which has been violated and as the acting ex- ecutive of the State I call upon you, the county prosecutor, to institute and make a thorough investigation of this crime, with a view to the punishment of the guilty parties.” THOROUGHBRED COLT WITH A CAMEL'S HEAD Queer Freak Is Born at the Ranch of Samuel Parker Near Milpitas. SAN JOSE, March 28.—A curlosity in | the shape of a colt with a camel's head | and one large eye in the center of the| forehead was born this morning at the ranch of Samuel Parker, near Milpitas. The animal otherwise is a perfect speci- men of a thoroughbred colt and well de- veloped. A nose was lacking and as it could only breathe through its mouth it lived but a short time. The jaws and lower part of the head are those of a camel. The lower jaw is very long, while the upper one and the lip are short. On the upper lip is hair the same as on a camel's lip and the mouth re- sembles that of the humped animal. Above the mouth is an abnormal eye as large as two ordinary ones. This opiic is open. Above on either side of this cvcloplc member are two other eyes. They are covered with skin, but can be platnly felt. The ears are those of a orse. but are turned around more thaa ordinarily. The mother of the colt was at the race- track this winter while Norris & Rowe's show was in quarters there and the mon- strosity is supposed to have been due to a prenatal influence. Fail to Launch New Vessel. TACOMA, March 28.—The launching of the steam schooner Albion River, set for last night at Everett, did not take place because the steamer stuck on the ways and would not slide into the water. The tallow which had been used to lubricate the ways froze fast, preventing the hoat sliding down. A tug was hitched on but she parted her lines twice and scarcely moved the steamer. This morning the big tug Tyee parted a tweive inch hawser and succeeded in moving the vessel only eight feet. By this time the tide was too low to warrant further pulling. Thig afternoon the steamer was reblocked and the, ways retallowed. It is intended to launch her to-morrow night. The Albion River has been built for Hoyvt & Swayne of Ban Francisco to ply between Albion River and San Francisco, carrying red. ‘wood lumber. Winthrop Mines to Be Opened.

In dyspepsia there is a loss of nutrition which 1s felt by brain as well as body; the mind grows morbid -as the body loses vigor.

Paine’;Cel_ery Compound Triumphed After the Failure of Physicians. Mrs. Tallman of 191 Redmond St., New Brunswick, N. J., grateful for the rescue of her little boy from suffering and death, writes as follows: “I have used Paine's Celery Compound for our little boy. He had been under the doctor’s care for five months, but did not seem to get much better. The physician saild the child had spinal trouble. He s L!hree years old and was obliged to creep on/ his hands and knees and was too weak to sit up long at a time. We bought a bottle of Paine’s Celery Compound, and before it was half gone we saw a big change in the boy. He is now real fat and strong, and can walk all around the house, and has red, plump cheeks. Paine's Celery Compound cured him.” In the face of such testimony who can deny the fact that Paine's Celery Com- pound restores to strength, vigor and new life? Hundreds of such letters as Mrs. Tallman's are on flle for the inspection of doubters. When your children are weak, run down, nervous, fretful, despondent, have loss of appetite, slow circulation of blood, give them Paine’s Celery Compound for a week or two, and note well the cheering results in returning health and vigor. We strongly urge the immediate use of the great medicine for all sickly and weak boys and girls. DIAMOND DYE True to name and color. Nothing equal them.
