NEVADA CITY, May 2—That eight men were not incinerated this morning at 2 o'clock was due entirely to the acciden- tal awakening of Peter Goff, one of the | men employed at the Keystone mine, one | mile from Sierra City. | With Goff, Mike H. Mead, one of the | | largest stockholders in the property, and six other miners were peacefully slumber- ing in bunks in the upper story of a build- | ing used as a combination dry house and sleeping quarters. At the hour named Goff felt the stifling effects of smoke and | arose from his bed and looked out of the window. The entire building was envel- | oped in fiames. Goff, without taking time to attire him- | self, rushed through the aisles, awakening | the men. Mead and Thomas Botting were | | reached py flames before they could es- cape by the stairs. Botting jumped through a window to the ground ‘twenty | feet below. His night clothes were on fire, but by this time ald had arrived from | Slerra City and Botting was rolled on the | ground to smother the flames. Besides re- ceiving burns he had badly injured one leg in jumping. Mead has burns about the | S{:‘:‘, body and head.

Walter Black, another miner, did not take the window route, but ventured through smoke and flames, finally making | his way to the ground. When rescued he was in a pitiable condition. After having escaped he was bewildered and in his dazed condition wandered back into the burning building to secure some personal effects. Miners finally rescued him. The other six miners were more or less in- Jjured. The fire started in the dry house below where the miners hang their clothing after coming off shift.

Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, May 2—The boldest bit of criminality ever attempted by a desperado in this county was reported at the Sher- iff's office to-day by Constable Samuel Stingley of Reedley. The victim of the desperado was Henry Bollin, a mer chant. About 1 o’clock this morning Bollin was awakened by a rapping on his front door and was told that Constable Stingley his clothes and started for the store. When about half way thither he was sud- denly stopped by a masked man with a revolver, who told him to lead the way to the store and there to open the safe. Bol- lin asserted that he did not know the com- bination, but was nevertheless compelled to go. At the store the highwayman made numerous threats, but Bollin's nérve held out and he protested vehe- mently that the combination was known to one of his clerks only, The highwayman then compelled Bol- lin to lead the way to the residence of this clerk, who was awakened and toll to dress and join them. He was marched to the store with Bollin. The clerk, too, protested his ignorance of the combina- tion, ciaiming it was known by the book- leeper only. The robber was a determined fellow, for he made the two men march ahead of him to the home of the book- keeper, who was awakened and told to dress and come to the store. The trio then marched back to the store to walt for him. The highwayman ordered the merchant and his clerk into the cellar and gave them instructions to stay there under penalty of death if either attempted to climb out. He waited some time for the bookkeeper, but the latter did not ap- pear. Subsequent investigation brought out the fact that the bookkeeper had net been thoroughly aroused, and while he was wondering whether or not he should arise he went to sleep again, After waiting some time for the third man the robber became fmpatient and started out after him, warning the men in_the cellar not to attempt to leave. Bollin and his clerk remalned in the cellar for what seemed to them hours. Finally, hearing nothing, they crept out and soon spread th‘e report of the at- tempted crime. To Constable Stingley they gave an excellent description of the robber, whom they believed they recog- nized, in spite of the mask he wore. The cool, familiar manner in which he con- ducted himself would indicate that he was a man experienced at the business. However, he was not a stranger, as he was famillar not only with the town, but with the interior of the store. Constable Stingley said to-day that he knew his man, but he refused to give saying, however, that he would arrest him before anothere day passed. | pected there will be a crush. || BAKERSFIELD CITIZENS WHO HAVE CHARGE OF ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE STREET FAIR. 8 RO A R T L gala attire has been commenced. The bandstand across the street. also is re- celving the attention of the decorators. Early this morning linemen began string- ing electric lights across the main thor- oughfares and this work will have been completed before o-morrow evening, when the city will be ablaze with light in the colors of the fiesta. Already it is noticeable that Bakersfield is filling up with strangers and it is ex- Reports that come from all points of the State as to the crowds that will be here con- tinue to encourage the promoters and it is believed this ciiv will never have seen so many strangers as will come and go during carnival week. The wire was strung to-day from the Western Union office to the grandstand, where the flesta will be formally opened TROOPS SUFFER FOR SYMPATHY Refusal toA Fire Upon Rioters Causes Pun- ishment. LONDON, May 3.—A dispatch received by Reuter’s Telegraph Company from St. Petersburg, dated April 30, says: The most serfous feature of the political situ- ation is the growing disinclination of the tioops to act against the people. Punish- ment has already been dealt out to 800 men of the Suma: Regiment for refusing recently to fire on the rioters at Moscow. They have been transferred to service in various remote provinces. A detachment of marines stationed here will, it is said, be disciplined in the same manner for similar action at the time of the student riots in March. ST. PETERSBURG, May 2.—The insti- gators of the peasant riots in the Voronej and Uharkoff governments, who succeed- ed in bringing the former serfs and land owners into collision by circulating the report that the Czar had ordered the lands of the nobles to be divided among the emancipated serfs, prove to be identi- cal with the organizers of the student movement here. After the student agitation was stopped the press bureau turned its attention to South Russia and the ‘“‘underground” press and turned out thousands of bogus proclamations, with the Czar's forged sig- nature attached to them, directing the peasants to partition the nobles’ land and distribute their goods among themselves. The proclamation set forth that the peas- ants should disregard the officials, who would probably interfere, as the latter always tried to thwart the Czar's will. Labor troubles have broken out at No- vorossisk, on the east coast of the Black Sea. Nearly all the southern mines and steel mills have been closed the whole winter and the laborers returned to their native villages, where they are now sweli- ing the ranks of the famine-stricken. It is reported that fifty-seven military officers have been arrested here. RAILWAY THROUGH UTAH, IDAHO AND OREGON Salt Lake City and Coos Bay Will Be Termini of the Great Central. PORTLAND, Or., May 2—Articles of incorporation have been filed with the County Clerk of the Great Central Rail- road Company, with a capital stock of $10,000,000. The Incorporators are J. Tho- burn Ross, John K. Kollock and John E. Acheson, all of Portland, but it is under- stood that Eastern capital is back of the movement. The articles of incor- poration state that the vroposed rallroad, with its eastern terminus at Salt Lake City, will run through Utah, Idaho and Oregon to Coos Bay, on the Pacific Coast. The Empire Construction Company was incorporated to-day with $1.000,000 capital. It is understood that the construction company is organized for the purpose of building the Great Central Railroad.

Poses as a Millionaire and Cashes Check That Is ‘Worthless. PORTLAND, May 2.—George E. Leslie was arrested here to-night on a charge of | forgery, on the telegraphic request of Charles H. Downing, Constable of Suisun, Cal. SUISUN, May 2.—George E. Leslie, who styled himself George E. Littell and posed as a New York millionaire, came to Sul- sun on April 4 and registered at the Ar- lington Hotel. The next day he visited W. H. Edwards, manager of the Hatch orchard in Suisun Valley, owned b; - Robbins. Edwards had met Litteil whi in New York a little over a year ago and Jjourneyed homeward across the continent in the latter’s company. Littell's gentle- manly demeanor and his display of many credentials convinced Edwards that the man was all he claimed. DEALS IN BIG FIGURES. During his brief visit here Littell spent money frecl{aund ended by contracting for the purchase of Robbins" 900-acre or- chard for $300,000, the deal to be closed by May 1. Before leaving, however, he ar- ranged for the expenditure of an addi~ tional $40,000 on improvements on the place. ‘s Answering a hurried summons to meet his New York attorney in San Francisco, Littell gave Edwards a worthless si draft on the National Shoe and Leather Bank of New York in payment for $0 advanced. An answer to a telegram to that institution revealed the true charac- ter of the stranger, and as a result a war- rant was issued charging Littell with ob- taining money under false pretenses. Littel! undoubtedly came to Suisun to conduct his line of business on an exten- sive scale, but before he could carry out his plans he was recognized by a local resident who had met him in Healdsburg two years ago. When Littell learned that he was known he took a hasty departure. WOMAN GIVES A CLEW. Constable Downing, who returned this evening after a two days’ hunt in $ Francisco and Oakland, brought back the information_that Littell spent the winter months in Honolulu. Returning in March, he passed under the name of Captain George E. Leslie and since his return has stopped at the Ocel- dental Hotel in San Francisco and the Metropole in Oakland. An Oakland young lady whom he met on the steamer gave the Constable much information concern- ing him. From her it was learned that Littell intended going to Portland. Captain George E. Leslie registered at the Occidental Hotel from Boston on March 26 of this year. He remained there until April 3and later returned and stayed at the hotel from April 15 to 17. He claimed that he was formerly an officer in the army and that he had seen service in the Philippines. A few days before he left the Occidental for the last time he exhibited a large sum in gold. A few nights ago the police took a supposediy forged check to the clerks of the hotel and compared the writing with Leslie’s signature on the hotel register. There was a close resemblance. Schooner Amethyst Saved. VICTORIA, B. C., May 2.—The lumber schooner Amethyst, which turned turtle in the February storm off the Oregon coast, her master and crew losing their lives, has been saved by George Bishop, a contractor of this city. She drifted on Village Island, on the west coast, and Bishop and his men righted her and are tary. Nearly all of the Grand Parlor del- egates have returned to their homes. now repairing the vessel. She is not bad- ly damaged. MARCONI Wi ADVERTISEMENTS. THE RELESS TELEGRAPH CO.
