Special Dispatch to The Call. WINNEMUCCA, Nev., July 27.—After | two Coroner's juries had deliberated in the case of John T. Read of Paradise Val ley a verdict that murder had been done was rendered. Relatives of Read from California are now in the State and will | employ detectives in -Bupting down the perpetrators of the crime. Read, who was a well-known farmer, lived in O'Neal Canyon. His body was found on July 20, with the skull fractured by a blunt instrument and the finger marks of a strangler about his throat. The | body was in a state of partial decomposi- | | The body was taken to Paradise and on | the same night an inquest was held by Judge Bradshaw. No investigation was held and no physician had examined the remetns, consequently the verdict was that Read came to his death from natural causes. The verdict gave dissatisfaction and Dr. Rice was sent for. The physician, after viewing the fractured skull and throat, ordered a second inquest. On the skull were two wounds, either of which would have produced death. On the neck were the marks of a thumb on one side and three fingers on the other, the imprint of_the nails showing unmistakably. Read was last seen alive on July 2, when supplies were sent out to him by relatives. | His brother, Sam Read, went to the place on the 20th of the month and, not finding the rancher at home, commenced a search for him. His body was found near the creek, lying on its face and attired only in undergarments. The footprints of bare feet can be traced from the cabin to the spot where the body was found.

TAKES MACKAY'S LIFE FOR THEME Dr. Baker Eulogizes the Character of Dead ‘Pioneer. Declares the Bonanza King Excelled in Grit and Loyalty. e ettt Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, July 7. ‘With “Success” as his theme and that achievement as exemplified in the life and character of the late John W. Mackay, high tribute was paid to-night by tha Rev. Ernest E. Baker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, to the capa- bilities of the late bonanzg king. Dr. Baker said: California Is a name to conjure with. I question whether any State in the Union is as widely known in all parts of the worll. hief among the charms of this remarkaole communwealth are the picturesque personalities produced by pioneer times and conditions. Il “Forty-Niner' will always be unique, and later times will do him justice and give him | permanent place among the heroes of Ameri- can civilization. | rapidly disappearing. These striking characters are With the world we mourned last week the sudden death of the last of the bonanza kings. 1 take the extra- ordinary career of the late John W. Mackay as an lllustration of my theme this evening, which is ‘‘Success." JUDGED MEN UNERRINGLY. Like so many of our fellow countrymen, he was poor, Jt is contended that poverty is an advantage“at the outset of life. That It puts 2 premium on struggle and effort, while the possession of means discourages active attempts to succeed. One thing is clear, that poverty in itself does not prevent success, even if it Again and again Mr. Mackay knew what it was to be ‘‘busted.” and with high courage he persevered in the face of obstacles sufficient to appall a less determined man, with the final result of daz- zling success. _I call attention here to the gospel of grit. No one will make the most of himself of of his opportunities who lacks the grace of stick-to-it-iveness. A dogged persistence along the line of purpose will do much toward com- pelling successful lssue to what otherwise would be utter failure. Seif-denial and seif- control enter into this staying power as all & portant factors. Mr Mackay also possess: an almost unerring judgment of men. Iy made a mistake in the selection of bis ) tenants. Next to self-knowledge it iy impe tive to know men, for life is not all competi- tion, it s largely co-operat - where Mr. Mackay excelled. He stood by him with a loyal'y rhat knew ro wavering. The secret of nis luvisn generowity in later years can be founi in his faith in men and a genuine feeling of brotherhood for them. He was enterprising in a large way. After the mining triumphs he became banker and then entered into contract to lay the Atlantic cable, which has been a national credit as well as a ‘profitable investment. The Pacific cable enterprise in which he was interested at the time of his death shows that this was a per- manent trait of his character. It takes a strong man to repeat his successes in widely various fields of effort. Versatility enters into commer. cial success to-day. Concentration and special- ization may do for the scigntist and student. but for the man of affairs ah all around knowi- edge of business principles alone will suffice. No success worthy the name will ever come to a man who looks at the clock and shirks. Only the eager, earnest, enthusiastic worker will ever come to the goal of his ambition. The crown of Mr. Mackay’'s career is his character. The man is more than the money. With all his wealth and fame he remained Simple, approachable, sincere, sym- pathetic, he sought how best he could serve his friends and fellow men. Story after story is told of his delicate thoughtfulness of others less fortunate in the stern struggle of life, Widows and orphans and fellow miners and even com- parative strangers shared his bounty, whi was always given without ostentation and with- out advertisement. At one sitting he is reported ‘| to have destroyed obligations of others amount- ing to more than $1,000.000! Money is not the measure of manhood. The use of money shows the man. . Not possession so much as distribu- tion. Here lies both the peril and the priv- {lege of wealth. Self-aggrandizement on the one hand and belpful service on the other. Let the final measure of succes be ethical rather than financial, for “‘a man’s life doth not com- sist in the abundance of the things he pos- sesseth.”” Sealing Schooners Are Returning.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Wash., July 27.—The resi- dents of the recently incorporated city of West Seattle disapprove of “blind pigs. They demonstrated their prejudice in a “Carrie Nation raid” last night, and when they got through there was not much lefs of the refreshmfent and bathing parlors of Brown & Dee, heretofore located on the beach stretching down to Puget Sound. The men of West Seattle, fifty in num- ber, after invoking the assistance of their lecal justice court, armed and masked themselves. With axes, picks and shoveis they stormed the resort after theedpr?.-x- etors had been arrested and hauled off to jall. They battered in the heads of every barrel and cask and broke every bottle that might be supposed to contain lquor! Then they smashed the mirrors and other furniture. To-day the place is a wreck. Brown & Dee opened up a soft-drink place and bath house several weeks ago. Recently they asked for a lience to sell liquor. Feel ing sure of favorable action on the appli- cation, they ordered and received a big supply of whisky and wines. est Seattle people assert that they at once began their sales without the for- mality of official sanction and Brown & Dea claim that they had not sold an in- toxicating drink and were dmgly get- ting ready for the season. Anyhow the West Seattle folk became impatient. At 10 o'clock last night Brown & De: who sleep at the resort, were aroused from slumber by the local constable who had warrants for their arrest. They were lodged in jail and had to stay there 4li night, as _the local justice could not be found to fix the amount of bail. As they were marched away by the officer the two_proprietors noticed an unusual at- tendance of visitors and remarked that a number were masked. They realized what was coming and were not suryrised to- day when they found the refreshment and bath parlors a mass of ruins. The West Seattle committee had done their work thoroughly, there was not enough_of the plant left to do business with. Brown & Dee claim to have rec- ognized a number of well-known citizens and declare that they will cause their ar- rest to-morrow. Three Girls Killed by an Engine. CHARLOTTE, N.
