Hi5 COMPANIDN Charles Green’s “Un- loaded” Rifle Causes " a Tragedy. Aims Firearm at Maing’ Head | and Bullet Penstrates His Forehead. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 13. The “‘unloaded” firearm played its part again to-day in what may yet be a fatal result. Charles Green of West Berke- ley, aged 13 years, aimed his rifle in fun at the head of Charles Gregory Mains of ‘West Berkeley, 10 years of age, and in fun he pulled the trigger. Of course the gun went off, and Charley Mains now lies at the Receiving Hospital, a subject for the éurgcon's knife, hovering between life and eath. The Mains boy says the Green boy shot him accidentally. The Green boy says that the Mains boy shot himself, but the loca- tion of the bullet disproves this assertion. There are no powder marks, which wouid have been on the forehead had the wound been self-inflicted. Besides the Mains boy carried an air gun, while the other carried a .22 caliber rifle. Both hoys started out early this morn- ing to shoot sparrows, for which they get 25 cents'a dozen in the restaurants. They are peighbors’ children, who live near the corner of Grayson and Fifth streets, West Berkeley. They wandered around the streets and finally turned homeward this afternoon. At the corner of Dwight way and San Pablo avenue the Green boy took a shot at a sparrow and missed. Then he made some remark about not missing such a big sparrow as his companion, and, aim- ing the rifle at him, pulled the trigger. he result was a report and a scream from the wounded boy, who fell to the %round holding his head in his hands. reen saw that he was hurt and ran off to tell the boy's father, five blocks away. To the father he stoutly maintained that Charley had shot himself. ‘The father hurried to his son’s aid and subsequently the police patrol was sum- moned to take him to the Receiving Hos- ital. There the doctors found that the ullet had penetrated the yery center of the forehead. They operated upon him, but could pot say what the outcome of the accident would be. “He shot me accidentally,” the wound- ed youth said, as he lay on the operating table waiting for the physicians to treat him. *“He aimed the rifle at me in fun and pulled the trigger. He didn’t mean to shoot me. He said he didn’t know it was loaded.” X Charle?' Green was too frightened to give a lucid statement of the accident. He maintained, however, that Mains had shot himself. GOLDEN STATE PIONEER . DIES AT RIPE OLD AGE Chas. L. Parrish Overcome by Death While Visiting Sister in the East. XOAKLAND, April 13.—Charles L. Par- rish, numbered among the thousands who came to California in the fiftles to dig gold, died on Arru 6 in North Lawrence, N. V., while visiting a_sister whom he had not seen since his pilgrimage to Cali- fornia. He was overcome by complica- tions resultant upon old age and suc- cumbed to death just as he was about to return to his home in this city after an absence. of four months, The funeral of Mr. Parrish will be held from the late residence at 1076 Twenty- first street, the home he had known for twenty-eight years. The services will be conducted by the Rev. E. R, Dille, pastor of the First Methodist Church, with which the deceased affiliated for many years: Mr. Parrish was born in New York sev- enty-five years ago. He was a young man when the gold discoveries in” Cali- fornia excited the East and he crossed the continent in 1852. He settled in Jack- son, Amador County, where he was for years owner of the Big Bar toll bridge. In 1874 he came to Oakland with his fam- ily and has since lived here. e leaves two children, Dr. Harry Parrish of Calis- toga and Mrs. Edmund Watkins of San Leandro. —_——— Students Form Political Club.

LOVELY WOMAN’'S WAY IS MYSTERY TO MEN When She Makes Anybody Suffer She Makes Sure the Victim Knows It. A pretty girl in a pretty bodice at a tea the other afternoon attracted attention for something besides her prettiness. Every other button of her bodice, which fastened in the back, was unbuttoned. Had it been only a few buttons here and there undone —had the unfastening not been so regular —it might net have been so noticeable. As it was, there could be but one key to the situation—the deliberate intentional oversight of the kind friend or spiteful maid who had fastened the bodice. What- ever the motive, whatever the cause, those every other buttons agape stood for revenge achieved. Nobody, not even the hostess, apparently, knew the girl well enough to tell her and have the mischief repaired, but involuntarily the hand of every other woman in a corsage fastening in the back sought that fastening to see whether any kind friend or sPuetul mald had played her false, Possibilities for wreaking revenge in this way were sud- denly revealed as never before. “And to think she may never know about jti” sighed one woman to another. “Whoever buttoned the bodice up will probably un- button it, and its owner will be as bliss- fully unconscious then as now.” “Not a bit ‘of it," said the other woman, “If a woman—be she mald or friend—fastened that bodice—or - rather left it half unfastened—rest = assured she'll take precious good care that ‘her wvic- tim knows it. That's lovely woman’s way, No matter how crafty or clever or otherwise Machiavellian she may be, when she makes anybody suffer B‘l‘ei makes sure that the sufferer {s aware of it.” ———————— " Length of Consular Service.

Mrs. Hugh ONAS STORY BRINGS ON FELD People of Centerville Divided as to Its Authenticity. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 13. A religlous discussion that had for its theme the authenticity of Jonah's fish story provoked a feud among the inhabi- tants of Centerville this week. There have been eight arrests so far. Thomas Powers insisted that the whale couldn’t have swallowed Jonah, because a whale's throat is no bigger than a man’s. In fact, he said, it's not as big as a man's. Mrs. Martha Nortridge and her son Thomas resented this anemrg_ted impeach- ment of Jonah's veracity. They declared that sclence had discovered that the whale’s throat is elastic. John Enes sald that Jonah compromised his dignity when he spent the night in the whale’s stomach, Herbert Nortridge explained Jonah's redicament by showing that the whale gnd sucked him in through his spout. Antone J. Alvarnais tried to excuse Jo- nah by saying that he must have been the victim. of sharks. i ‘Willilam Cushing swore he didn’t belleve a word of It—that it was the greatest fish story ever told. 1 These conflicting opinions, of course, were bound to disrupt the peace of the de- baters, as they have confounded the friendships of many other deeply religious people, and the result was a general fu- l{‘lllde of contradictions. The combatants threw things around with a reckless dis- regard for the skins and feelings of their opponents and deadly weapons were in everybody's hands. After the smoke had cleared away-the belligerents looked up the Justice of the Peace and swore out war- fents for the arrest of euch other, as fol- ows: Thomas Powers had Mrs. Nortridge and her son Thomas arrested for disturbing the peace. . John Enes had Thomas and Herbert Nortridge jalled for the same offense. Thomas and Herbert Nortridge charged John Enes with assault with a deadly weapon. 3 Ax&?:?le J. Alvarnals swore to warrants for the arrest of Herbert and Charles Nortridge for battery.
