SCANDAL CLOAKS SERGEANT'S NAME Aged Woman Sues Offi- cer of Lios Angeles Police. Alleges That WithSham Love He Won Control of Her Property. - Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 5.—Amanda Rich- mond, a maiden lady 70 years of age, com- menced sult to-day against W. T. Jef- fries, who for the past twelve years has been a police sergeant in this city and is reputed to have amassed a consider- able fortune. Miss Richmond sues to compel Jeffries to restore to_.her all the property he is alleged to have taken from her during phe past ten years® and, in addition, $! Which the ~defendant is alleged to have recelved for the plaintiff from the sale of property and which he neglected to turn over to her. According to the complaint, Jeffries, in 1882, rented two rooms from Miss Rich- mond, and for a number of years there- after continued to live in her house. Jef- fries had not resided there more than two months when he proposed to Miss Richmond that she become his house- keeper. “I will pay all household expenses,” he said, “‘and keep the property in good re- pair. You can pay the taxes, because you own the place.” This arrangement lasted until Novem- ber, 1900, Continuing, Miss Richmond avers that the defendant falsely pretended he was greatly in love with her and made fre- quent proposals of marriage. It is al- leged that he persuaded her that he was a man. of considerable ability and won her confidence to such an extent as to get her to deed all her property to him, that he might take care of it. In return for this he had a life insurance policy for $2000 made out in her favor, and promised her that in the event of selling any of the property belonging to her he would give her a check for $4000. As a matter of fact, plaintiff claims, she néver re- celved a cent from Jeffries. About four years ago Miss Richmond remarked that in the event of Jeffries’ death she would be left with nothing and no tangible evidence of having any hold whatever upon any of the property which he owned, but which, in reality, belonged to her. Accordingly, in order to appease her, Jeffries made out a note for $4700 on June 20, 1898, which he gave her and which bore interest at the rate of 7 per cent a year. Afterward, it is alleged, Jef- fries ‘got possession of this note, of the insurance policy and of everything Miss Richmond owned. In 1899 Jeffries broke the news to Miss Richmond that he was about to marry Viola Sheward. Miss Richmond, he said, was perfectly welcome to come and make bher home with him and his wife, and he would take care of her, provided that she never breathed a word about their busi- ness transactions. Miss Richmond continued to live with the Jeffries until November, 1900, by which time, the complaint charges, Jef- fries had secured everything of wvalue formerly owned by the plaintiff. Last November Miss Richmond asked Jefiries for the. note he had made out to her, for the insurance policy and for the $1500 e Moscow P struggle. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE REFECT FRUSTRATED Man With Dagger Tries to Force Entrance Into Trepoff’s Office. OSCOW, April 5.—Another attempt to assassinate M. Trepoff, the Moscow Prefect of Police, was frus- trated yesterday afternoon. A man seeking a per- sonal interview with the Prefect applied at M. Tre- poff’s office and upon being refused admittance drew a dag- ger and attempted to kill the official in charge of the ante- room. It was evidently his intention to force an entrance into M. Trepoff’s private office. / The would-be assassin was 'disarmed after a hard NODSE WS WALTER EORDON Double Murderer Will Be Executed in June. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., April 5.—Walter Gordon was to-day sentenced to be hanged on June 28 for the murder of two men at Whitewater, Manitoba. Gordon enlisted in Vancouver on De- cember 24 last in the second contingent of Canadian Mounted Rifles. He was en- rolled under the name of John Gray and departed for Halifax on Christmas day. In July, 1800, Charles James Daw was murdered at Whitewater by Walter Gor- don, who also killed Jacob Smith, Daw's bired man. Immediately afterward Gor- don disappeared. To the recruiting offi- cer here Gordon, allas John Gray, gave the name of his rext of kin as John Gor- den, Brookline, Ontario, and it was that slip on his part which gave a clew in the murder case to the Manitoba police. It was later ascertained that after dis- appearing from Whitewater Gordon had gone to South Dakota and enlisted in the United States army at Fort Meade under the name of John Gray. When it became known early in December of last year that another contingent was to be sent from Canada to South Africa Gordon de- serted from Fort Meade and made his way to this city. Had he remained at Fort Meade it is unlikely that he would bave been apprehended. @ iivisieiivinieiiiviniieiee - @ that had accrued from the sale of certain property which he negotiated.

He says flour, sugar and salt are selling in the camp for $3 a pound, but fresh beef can be bought for 18 cents a pound and the supply is plengiful. From 80 to 1000 men are now in the camp and the new arrivals number from sixty to seventy daily, coming from all directions. The first pack train to arrive this winter broke its way through the snow this week. Irving says the tralls are now well opcned for footmen and when coming out he 71d not have to use snowshoes. ELK CITY, April 5.—The Shisler pack train has reached Thunder Mountain by way of Big Creek and the trail is now open to horge travel. The horses' com- prising the train drew rawhide loads of supplies, each cargo consisting of 400! pounds, and the animals were the first to reach the new camp this spring. A second train is following the Shisler party and a third will leave Stites, Idaho, to-morrow. Partles arriving at Dixle from the new camp report passing 200 men and about seventy-five horses on the trail. At the camp the stampede resulting in the re- cent discovery at Indlan Creek was still in progress and reports are to the effect that the discovery is richer than the Dewey mine. The scarcity of food in the camp has resulted in many acts of petty thievery and the matter of the organization of a vigilance committee is being- discussed. -] 8er and freight business in Bakersfleld, at MAY BOYCOTT ~ THE RAILROAD Bakersfleld Is at Outs With the Southern Pacfic, Resents Ccmpany’s Refusal ‘to Build a Depot in the City Limits. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, April 5—By its re- fusal to establish a depot for its passen- the intersection of its tracks with Chester avenue, the Southern Pacific Company has caused a feeling of the deepest indig- nation here and its action probably will result in the:loss of thousands of dollars’ ‘worth of business to the company. The refusal has just been made public through a communication from -Jullus Krutt- schnitt to the ‘Board of Trade and has been the sole topic of conversation on the streets here to-day. More than one mer- chant has signified his intention to trans- fer his business to the Santa Fe until the Southern Pacific shows some disposition to consider the welfare of Bakersfield. The Southern Pacific, when it construct- ed its road, left Bakersfieid off Its route and established its depot at Kern City, a mile and a half distant. It persists in designating the latter place as “Bakers- field!” though Kern is a separate corpor- aticn, kaveng a municipal government of its own. Residents there have petitioned frequently to have the station designated by its proper title of Kern City, but thelr | petitions have been refused, and as a re- sult neither Bakersfleld nor Kern has been satisfied with the condition forced upon it by the rajlroad. Recently the citizens of Bakersfield de- cided that the time had arrived when they had the right to insist that this city be recognized by the company. For the past two years Bakersfield has given more business to the Southern Pacific than any other point in the San Joaquin, not ex- cepting Fresno and Stockton. In view of the importance of the city as a shippin, point it was believed that the request of the Board of Trade would find a ready bearing. In consequence much surprise was created when the letter from Gen- eral Manager Kruttschnitt was received. The next step is likely’to be a move- ment for a boycott of the-Southern Pa- | cific. LOS ANGELES, April 5.—President E. H. Harriman of the Southern Pacific has departed from the company's local lines, Accompanied by Julius Kruttschnitt and J. C. Btubbs, the train conveying Harri- man left at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon for Santa Barbara. As one of the results of the visit of President Harriman it is sald the South- ern Pacific Company is to own Here the most commodious headquarters buildings possessed by the company anywhege on its system. The Arcade station s to ba enlarged so that the present structure will scarcely be recognized. The proposed new structure .will cost about $250,000.

Special Dispatch to The Call CLOVERDALE, April 5.—The bodies of Mrs. Farley Abshire, her sister, Miss Vio- let Crow, and Mrs. Frank Daniels, who were drowned yesterday, have been re- covered from Russian River by Indian divers. The funeral of Mrs. Abshire and Miss Crow will be held to-morrow at 12 o’clock from the Methodist Church South. Mrs. Frank Danlels will be buried to-| morrow afternoon. Though the drowning occurred at -3 o’clock yesterday afternoon the first body was not found until about § o'clock and the second an hour later. . Abshire’s, body was found first, being located as it occaslonally neared the surface by the red waist which she wore. The body of her sister, Miss Violet Crow, was found by Indlan Lee lodged against the roots of some willows in the middle of the stream and at a point about five feet below the surface of the water. The other corpse— that of Mrs. Frank Danlels—was not re- covered from the water until §;15 o'clock this#morning, when it was discovered by an Indian named Charley Lamoon. A purse of more than $100 was soon raised and presented to the faithful redskins. ‘While assisting in the search Hans Neil- son attempted to swim his horse across the river, but was washed from the ani- mal and would have perished had it not been for the timely assistance of a friend, George Hall, who plunged into the stream on his horse and swam to a point below Neilson. By the time he reached the spot Neilson’s wits had left him and he grab- bed frantically at the horse. He precipi- tated Hall into the stream, but the horse swam safely to shore with Nellson cling- ing to him. Hall, after some difficulty with the current, drifts and eddles, sucs ceeded in reaching the shore. To-day Indian Molica, while searching in the stream for the last of the unfor- tunate women, got into a whirlpool and barely escaped with his life, a rope being time. Populists Are Reorganizing.
