A genuine American story of a family that comes out of the West, with all the West’s breeziness, independence, humor, and sturdy democracy,—the cardinal na- tive traits. A really great piece of contempora- neous fiction, Louisville Courier-Journal says ; “If there is such a thing as the American novel of a new method, this is one. Absolutely to be enjoyed is it from the first page to the last, founded on the ele- mental truth that “the man is strongest who, Antacan- like, stands with his feet upon the earth.”” LOTHROP PUBLISHING COMPANY, DERS LSON PrICE, $1.50 Nashvllle American says : “Nothing toogood can said about it.

Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 6. Registration of voters for the fall elec- tion is backward in Alameda County, electors not realizing that they have only two weeks more in which to register. To the end that the dilatory voters shall be aroused to the necessity for im- mediate enrollment the Republican Coun- ty Central Committee to-day decided that each of the members shall constitute him- self a committee of one to canvass his district and awaken the slothful citizen. County Clerk Jordan has appointed a large number of deputles for registration purposes. There is one deputy on duty at the rooms of the county committee, 1636 Broadway, and every effort is being made to reach the voters of the county with as little inconvenience to them as possible, Preparations have been made by the County Clerk and his chief deputy, J. P, Ceok, to facllitate the work of registra- tion, and to provide for the rush to en- roll that must come as soon as voters realize how short is the time in which they can be listed on the registration roils. Besides action in this matter the county committee was organized to-day for the campaign. Chalrman Crowell appointed the following sub-committees: Executive—A. H. Breed (chalrman), J. B, Lanktree, W. W, Blair, Dr. H. N. Rowell, Printing—J. §. Glover (chairman), D, J. Mullins, Georze Wales. Auditing—A. L. Ott (chairman), W. wW. Morrison, A. Gove Roberts, Arrangements—C. L. Tisdale (chalrman), J.

Roberts and George Wales were named as a committe to re- port upon all of the printing offices in Alameda County, the county committee having decided that its printing shall go only to firms which use the label of the Typographical Union, GRUSHES afULL OF COMPANION Canvasman at the Wild West Show Slays a Fellow Workman, Loses Temper .in a Trivial Dispute and Uses Heavy Tent Stake. Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 6. In an ugly fit of bad temper Charles F. Wild West Show, smashed the skull of Edward Kolley, a fellow workman, this afternoon, inflicting fatal injuries with the heavy tent stake hc used for a weapon. Kolley died later at the Receiving Hospi- tal. The deadly assault occurred shortly after 5 o’clock at the West street side of | the grounds, Thirty-eighth street and San | Pablo avenue, where the show was ex- hibiting. Kolley was felled to the ground by the heavy blow, which crushed and | fractured his skull from the forehead to | the base of the brain. The bludgeon his | assailant used was a stake, four feet long, | four inches in diameter and capped with a | heavy iron ring. It was with difficulty Police Hadgkins, who was on the scene a minute after the blow was struck, saved Hunt from the angry mob of circus | men, who threatened to lynch him. As soon as the Chief clapped handcuffs on Hunt the officer grabbed a club and pressed his way through the tumultous crowd of circus hands, who were cursing and yelling, “Lynch him! lynch him! as the officer flanked by Police Detective George Kyte, rushed his prisoner out of harm’'s wa TEMPER OVERCOMES HIM. The assault was so quickly made that the witnesses among the group of tent- hands hardly realized what had occurred until they saw Kolley drop like a shot, unconscious and bleeding from the crush- ing blow on his head. As soon as Chief Hodgkins arrived he sent for physiclans and the patrol am- bulance. Meanwhile he Javed the injured man's head and forced Hunt to assist. Kolley was taken quickly to the Receiv- ing Hospital and Hunt was sent in charge of the police to the City Prison. According to the prisoner the assault was the result of a trivial quarrel, which led to high words and oaths. Hunt made a statement to the police, saying: One of the men and myself were talking about something, when ‘‘Blackie” (meaning Kolley) broke in. I told him he was not con- cerned in the talk, and he replied he would talk as much as he wanted. He called me vile names, when I told him to get out, and he started toward me. Then I picked up the stake and hit him. My temper got the best of me and I couldn’t help it. Hunt was put in a cell and was regis- tered in a detinue book pending Kolley's death, when murder will be the accusa- tion against him. LYNCHING IS AVERTED. Chief of Police Hodgkins said: The men had just finished their supper, and a group of them were standing near the stable tents at the west side of the grounds. 1 had been over to the teuts, and was looking at some Indian curios when the assqult occurred. Rush- ing over I found Kolley on the ground. Kyte came up almost immediately, and I ordered him to keep an eye on Hunt while we were attending the injured man. ‘When Hunt started to walk away I caught him by nis suspenders and handcuffed him. At first the other men did not appreciate the seriousness of the case. But as soon as they realized their comradé’s condition they sur- rounded us, and with oaths and clenched fists started to mob the prisoner. I had to stand them off with a club. It was an angry mob of cursing circus men who were quite ready to avenge their compan- fon’s injuries. For a minute it seemed as If the angry crowd would try to lynch the prisoner. At the Receiving Hospital the surgeons gave temporary aid to the injured show- man, but they sald he was dying when brought into the operating room. It was useless to attempt any serious operation, as the patlent was almost gone. The wound extended from the left eye across the forehead and the head, and a much less powerful man than Hunt could have done the same damage with the ugly club he used. The police have the weapon in their possession. Kolley was 27 years old, and his home was at Altoona, Pa. He joined the show at Cleveland, Ohio. From the same Ohlo city came Hunt when he went on the pay roll. He is 34 years old and his home is in St. Louis, Mo. that Chief of Eight rooms of excellent furniture moved to H. Schellhaas’ store, 1.

MAGHINE SHOPS MAY BE MOVED Department Heads Make Recommendation to Harriman, ~ Freight Will Be Pu in Touch With Deep Water, All a Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 6. The machine shops of the West Oaklang yards in all probabflity will be moved from the present site to one of two places that are now under consideration by the department heads. It was thought for z long time that the machine shops would be extended to the westward along thé land recently reclatmed, but this profect has been abandoned and the shops either will be moved near the Peralta-street slin or will be moved to the southwest, ox land that has not yet been reclatmed. The reason assigned for the contemplat~ ed changes is that the yard requirements have grown so great that the reclaimed land cannot be spared. The machine shops are now directly in line with the new sidetracks put dowm on the fill and the other portion of thd freight’ yards. To get even a single car on to the new side tracks it is necessary, to haul it over a mile. It must first be taken toward the pler and then backed on to the sidetracks. MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, By removing the machine shops there will be a direct line of track between the extreme east and extreme west of tha freight yards, and cars can be shifted by moving them a hundred yards or so, in- stead of over a mile, as is now the case, The department heads have already fore warded their recommendations to Presi- dent Harriman and in view of the grea$ economy in bandling freight it is thought that the work will be ordered commenc~ ed at once. By the removal of the shops #t will mean that all the freight will be in touch with deep water. Where there is only one track which is contact with deep water shipping, the entire freight yards wilk border on deep water if the chapge is | made. Not only will the freight yards be ben< efited by the change, but the shipyards will also receive a measure of benefit. It has been found necessary to send much of the ship work to Boole’s or other ship- building firms. With the machine shops out of the way the territory of the ship yards can be increased to an extent suf- ficient to accommodate all boats and ves~ | sels ot the company. WILL REPAIR LOCOMOTIVES. It has been the intention of the com- | pany to materially increase the capacity of the machine shops and to provide new machinery which will put the company in a position to not only repair locomotives to the smallest detail, but also to build them if necessary. The new machinery cannot be well in~ stalled at the present quarters. The new: shops will be arranged differently, so as to produce much economy of time. The additions to the shops have come irreg~ ularly and the machinery could not al+ ways be placed to the best advantage, The new shops will obviate all present ine ccnveniences. — DEWEY THEATER REVIVES “A.
