White screens transformed a corner of L ward into a courtroom and inclosed the bed in which lay the plaintiff, too ill to be moved, and shut out from view the | other invalids who lay in their narrow cots along each side of the long room. To the left of the sick man's bed was a plain deal table and a plain oak chair. These were for the Judgé. Ranged around the white screened room were | chairs for the counsel of plaintiff and de- | fendant, and a chair was placed close be- side the Judge's table for the witnesses. It was a curlous spectacle to see the white-frocked nurses moving quietly hither and thither in this room, where almost a tragedy had been committed and where justice was going to be meted | out. |~ Justice had to be done, and Judge Con- | 1an saw only one way to do it. The plain- | tift was too il t6 come to the court. It was necessary, to avoid further delay, for the court to come to him. And that is exactly what the court did. The case that brought the Judge all the way to the City and County Hospital and turned L ward into a courtroom was one in_ which an inmate, Patrick Henry Shields, alleged that on June 18 he had been assaulted by one of the night attendants, Charles Flint, and severely | battered about the head. | “The defendant was arrested and has been kept in the City Prison awaliting rial. | "Fiint pleaded not gullty and walved a | jury, and the trial began. | PLAINTIFF TELLS OF ATTACK. | Shields told his story simply and with | a slight tremor in his voice. He stated that he had been confined to his bed for | some months with stiffened joints, and | that on the night of June 18 he had oc- casion to call the night orderly, Charles Flint, who objected to granting him a simple request. There were a few words between them, when suddenly Flint seized him by the throat. In defense Shields grabbed a bottle that was stand- ing on thé table and struck Flint over the head with it, breaking the bottle. Flint then, the defendant continued, rained blows with his fist on his head and face until he was nearly choked with his How to money G we*have made big and fresh i1 $79.50; you make us a cash payment on this of $15.00 and pay the balance at the easy rate of $6.45 per month.

Gilbert, whose home is supposed to be in Fresno, was shot and killed at 1 o’clock this morning on 2 ranch one mile south of here. During the past four months ranchers In this part of Los Angeles County have | lost more than 1000 chickens, the thefts being conducted in a systematic manner. For weeks the farmers have been looking for the miscreant. Gilbert drove through Downey late last night and arriving at Cyrus Brown's ranch, tied his horse, a fine animal, at- tached to an expensive rubber-tired bug- EY, to the fence, donned a pair of over- alls, and with a gunnysack under his arm approached the chicken house. Just as he was entering it he was shot and was seen to stagger and fall. The man who shot him did not wait to see the effect of the shot, but sent two young men to Downey to notify the officers. This morning at daybreak the man's body was found 100 feet from the chicken- house. It had been riddled with buckshot, forty-one of the pellets having lodged in the man’s back. His horse was also found and later identified as one from a Los Angeles livery stable. The body was identified by means of a letter, evidently written by the deceased in reply to a mat. rimonial advertisement in a San Fran- cisco paper. It stated that his name was R. Gilbert, that his homé was at Fresno, that he had been on the coast nine years and that he was receiving a large month- iy income. A card was also found, writ- ten by A. W. Bagby, a livery man at Fresno, recommend(ygacllben to livery men throughout the te. In the buggy were found several sacks with feathers in them, showing that they had been used to carry chickens. There was also a sult case of fine clothing, in- | Be Sentenced To-Day i THE CITY ano COUNTY HOIPITAL . 1 & | SCENES IN INFIRMARY DUR- ING TRIAL OF EX-ORDERLY 1 FOR BATTERY.

This closed the case and the people rested. ~ Attorney Caldwell, who had been in- structed by Judge Conlan to defend Flint, stated that only a fiend incarnate would strike a defenseless invalid were he in his right mind, and he considered that owing to the epileptic fits and the liquor he had imbibed Flint was not on the night of the 18th responsible for his ac- tions. Attorney Caldwell asked the court’'s lenlency in consideration of the fact that Flint had already been in jail one month. Assistant District Attorney Weller made the argument for the people. Judge Conlan in summing up said he was convinced that Flint had struck the plaintiff when he was in a bad frame of | mind, and believed ?st his temper and | ill will got the bettel of him that night. The Judge sald the fact of Flint asking for the privilege to take a last look at Shields and then deliberately striking one more vicious blow stood out strong and black against him. Judge Conlan. then declared the prisoner gullty as charged. He remanded him to the charge of the balliff, to be brought up for sentence this morning. TURKS MASSACRE REBEL POPULAGE Cut Down Macedonian Men, Women and Children. VIENNA, July 16—Official dispatches received here describe a formidable Mace- donian rising in the vilayet of Monastir, European Turkey. According to these reports the rebels, entrenched on the banks of Lake Ostrovo, withstood the at- tacks of 1000 Turkish regulars and several hundred Bashi Bazouks for a week. Finally the Turks placed the Macedon- ian women and children in the front as a screen and stormed the position of the rebels. The latter maintained a murder- ous fire and many women and children were killed by their own husbands and fathers. After dispersing the rebels the Turks massacred the population and looted and burned the houses of the inhabitants. Te the East in a Tourist Sleeper.

Experience of Passengers Fraught With Many Perils, —_—— Remarkably Early Breaking of the Floes All That Saved the Vessel From Being Crushed in the Far North. gt Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NOME, July 3, via Seattle, Wash., July 16.—The steamer Jeanie, which left for Nome on May 1, has just arrived after a long and perflous trip. The first two weeks after her departure from Seattle she experienced unusually fine weather, which gave promise of an early arrival in Nome. The first ice was encountered about 150 miles north of the fur seal isl- ands in Bering Sea, but ordinarily at this time of the year ice may be seen as far south as the Pribilofs. Two days later, following what is nau- tically termed a “blind lead,” the Jeanie ‘was completely encircled by ice. A dense fog settled down, making it useless to at- tempt to move. It was belleved that a good wind from the north would separate the_ice and enable the vessel to reach Nome in due time. As the days passed the Jeanie drifted north to within thirty-seven miles of Nome, but she was so securely fast in the ice it was impossible to direct her course. She was thus placed at the mercy of the wind and tide. This was June 2. The Jeanie rapidly drifted northwest from Within thirteen miles of Sledge Island to Kings Island. She remained in that lo- cality for a day. Then, as the wind and tide became stronger, she was carried helplessly on toward Cape Prince of ales. LOWERING OF BOATS. As she neared the cape, it seemed she would inevitably run aground on the sand spit which extends for four or five miles off this, the most westerly point of land on the American continent. The' boats were lowered over the sides and made ready in case of accident and the flag was hoisted to the mizzen mast, union down. This was a very critical position, and it was seen that in case she escaped being ground to pleces on the spit, she would be carried into the Arctic Ocean and pos- sibly crushed in the heavy ice to be found off Point Barrow. it Believing that It might be possible to land the passengers on the ice a party of five men was organized. When within ten miles of Cape Prince of Wales these men started for land over the rough and broken ice—a most daring and tedious journey. When yet within sight of those aboard the steamer one man was seen to fall through the ice into the freezing waters and was slowly drawn out by the remaining four by means of a rope. Finally, after running and jumping over miles of broken ice the party came within one mile of shore amd found that the ‘| broken shore lcc was being carried off shore in an opposite direction at the rate of six miles an hour. Lame and footsore, the plucky party regained the ship, which since they had left had drifted miles away from the cape. PORTLAND IS SIGHTED. The Jeanie, being still bound, fast in the ice, was carried northward around the cape through Bering Straits to the Arctic Ocean. The current sets north here at the rate of four miles per hour, and the Jeanie, drifting past the Diomede Islands, Was carried a fow miles off East Cape, the most easterly point of land on the Asiatic coast. A meeting was called and it was agreed to cut down the food supply, as it was berely probable the ice would not break up or melt for months. On the seven- teenth day out, May 17, the steamer Port- land was sighted about twenty miles to the northeast of St. Lawrence Island, having been caught in the same trap. For thirty days these steamers drifted around in the Arctic Ocean, surrounded by miles and miles of ice with no chance of escape until the breaking up of the pack. The Jeanie’s rudder, which was se- Verely wrenched, was unshipped to guard | against further injury. gI( was believed the ice would break up by the middle of July, but fate was more generous, and_after forty days the ice parted from the ship, leaving a lake 100 yards in diameter, which enabled the ves- sel to come about. At first it seemed hopeless to try to break through the ice and after making several attempts it was declded to tie up. Next day the outlook was better and the prevailing north wind helped to part the ice. Three days of hard bucking brought the Jeanie and the Portland out of the solid pack into com- paratively open water. The run to Nome was made without LONE SHERIFF 3tEKS FIGHT WITH TRACY Cudihee, the Outlaw's Pursuer, Strangely Disappears. Mystery Shrouds the ‘Where- abouts of a Washington Official. Murderous Fugitive Again Doubles on His Track and Is Thought to Be Somewhere in the White River Valley. ————— Special Dispatch to The Call AUBURN, Wash., July 16.—I\ the mat- ter of sudden and mysterfous disappear- ances Sheriff Cudihee’ has proved himself the equal of the outlaw, Tracy. The of- ficial pursuer of the murdering desperado passed out of the ken of his numerous posses yesterday afternobn and even his most intimate associates appear to be ignorant of his purpose or whereabouts. It is presumed that Cudihee acquired definite knowledge of the movements of the convict and started, perhaps with a couple of trusted lieutenants, on a still hunt in the mountains. 'The general be- liet is that the Sheriff is somewhere on the Palmer cut-off. Unless he walked through the woods or drove in a buggy along unfrequented roads he has not left that region. From Ravensdale has come the following message: “John Currington reports that he dis- covered some bloody rags in an old shack one mile west of here yesterday. Nearby were the ashes of a campfire. He says the rags looked as if they have been used in dressing wounds. A little later two railroad men saw a mysterious man car- rying a gun and hiding behind trees in the same section.” TACOMA, July 16.—Convict Tracy has doubled back again from Natchez Pass trail, and if he follows in the direction he is now going he will land back in White River Valley, about two miles from Enumclaw. Tracy traveled several miles up Natchez Pass and then turned north near Fuller's ranch and over a bridle ath about eight miles from Buckley. He yound Natchez Pass too hazardous, and it is thought he will make another effort to get through by Palmer. ‘When at the Gardner house Sunday Tracy sald he was going to Tacoma in order to receive assistance from friends he has here. While at the house Tracy compelled one of the Gardner boys to shave him, and many are surprised that the boy did not cut Tracy’'s throat, but Tracy held a loaded revolver while being shaved. The inquest over the body of Merrill, the dead convict, has developed the fact that he had served terms in the Mon- tana pentitentiary at Deer Lodge, one term under the name of McTague and the other under the name of Carroll. In- formation is needed from Deer Lodge as to four false front teeth Merrill wore, which the Oregon penitentiary officials falled to discover when examining him. Convicts at Salem have since told the Warden there that Merrill had false teeth, and this fact was telegraphed to the Coroner at Chehalis this morning. TRAIL OF TRAIN ROBBERS IS LOST BY THE HOUNDS SAGUACHE, Colo., July 16.—Special Of- ficer Brown of the Denver and Rio Grande started out this morning confident that he had headed off the outlaws who held up a Denver and Rio Grande train last Mon. day, but he was compelled to admit this afternoon that the trail was hopelessly lost. Sheriff Willlams, who came in here with his tired out force, believes that the outiaws have doubled back on thelr traci and gone northward. Brown is confident that the camp he discovered yesterday morning was that of the robbers, as he found where clothing had been burned re- cently. The camp equipment was aban- doned. It is thought that it was the out- laws’ camp and that they came down the creek some distance and then retraced their steps purposely to throw the pur- suers off the track. Brown's force found their trail going down the creek from the camp, but dark- ress soon came on and the dogs had al- ready given out, so they had to guess at the trail. Brown has gone back toward Marshall Pass, as Williams found evi- Gerce that the dynamite used to blow open the safes was bought in Aspen and thinks that the robbers may have come frcm there. mishap. There is no case on record of any steamer being placed in a similar po- sition to that of the steamers Jeanie and Portland and no steamer has ever ar- rived off Cape Lisburne at such an early ate.

Most of the conveyances formed into a funeral procession and drove down to Park City. SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES. None of the victims of the catastrophe are more sincerely and generally mourned than the two rescuers who gave up their lives in the attempt to save others. John McLaughlin and John Eckstrom, after having made several descents, became un- conscious while working in the 1200 foot level, and the miners with them, who also were staggering {rom the effects of the gas, could not get them to the cage and were forced to leave them in order to save themselves. On arriving at the surface one of the party sald McLaughlin was still alive. Another crew at once volunteered to so after McLaughlin and Eckstrom, but owing to the fear that more lives would be sacrificed the cage was not lowered again for thirty minutes. When it re- turned to the surface it bore MecLaugh- lin, who was barely alive. The physicians Worked hard to save him, but he expired a few minutes later. Eckstrom was re- dead. pql’";\eedbo(ly of George Garvin was found only 200 feet from the powder magazines and was not mangled, which leads to the belief that the mine isustained no great lamse by the explosion. a8 iners who escaped say there were no smoke or fumes in the mine and the air was so clear that the men did not realize that they were being asphyxiated.

ENDEAVOR IS MADE TO BLOCK MAYOR'S PLAN SAN JOSE, July 16.—A move was made by the Mackenzie School Board to block Mayor Worswick in his plan to relieve the schools from the control of politi- cians. The deposed School Trustees, Jones, Ryan and Wheeler, had Mayor Worswick served with a notice this after- hat to-morrow morning they would :gg?ytto the Supreme Court in San Fran- isco for a writ of prohibition in their lc’l:ac:‘lnxq for malfeasance before the Council to-morrow evening. - By this they expect to take the matter out g‘fea{}‘xse haynd! pof the City Council and throw it into the courts, where they might be able to postpone the matter in- definitely. Jones; Shumate and Ryan are charged with malfeasance in office in that they caused expenditures to be made which exceeded the quarterly allowance for their department. They are also accused of entering into a conspiracy with the old board, which they succeeded, to oust City Superintendent Russell and elect A. E. Shumate to the place at an in- creased salary of per year, notwith- standing a deficit in the school depart- ment of $000. If the writ of prohibition is issued the hearing will probably be tied up and the matter fought out om points of law in the Superior Court.
