FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1902 FIRES TRAVERSE SONOMA VALLEY to Great Destruction Forests and Fields of Grain, Flames Orossing Mountain Ridge Afford Magnificent Spectacle. s Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, Oct. L—A forest and ficld fire which is said to have had its in- ception in a spark from a freight engine on the Soutk r Pacific yesterday after- noon has bul md ov about five hundred acres of land in this county, and has ex- tended far into Napa County. A brisk wind has been blowing from the north for two days past, and the fire will be beyond control until the wind subsides. Most of the area burned over is grain land, and many tons of hay and grain have gone up in smoke. Last night the flames made great progress and denuded the mountain on both sides of Nuns Canyon. The fire began on the William Ashe ranch, between Glen Ellen and Belltame, and swept everything in its path. So far & haif dozen residences and outbuildings have been burned. That the number is so small is owing to the diligence of the farmers in the vicinity, who have had to back fire in order to save their home- stends. The flames the valley as far as the eye can see, and last night they spectacle as they passed over the moun- tain top. Practically all of the fall feed in the hay fields has been destroyed in Sonoma Valley. The heaviest losers are William Asbe, A, 8. Woods, Alexander Roff, A. L. Youngman and Mrs. Delmar. Farmers in Napa County have started fires in the direction of the burned dis- trict, hoping to arrest the progress of the main confiagration. The hills are cov- ered with chemisal, which burns fiercely. On Monday afternoon Alexander Sol- date was blasting rock in his pasture in Two Rock Valley, between Petaluma and Bloomfield, and a biast biew out into the grass. Before the flames were checked they had burned through seveniy-five acres of fine feed land and left it as bar- ren as a desert, besides destroying a number of chicken houses and a couple of miles of fencing. By hard work on the part of the neighbors the residences and outbuildings in that locality were saved. The largest of the fires now burning is in the northwestern part of this county, in the vicinity of Cazadero. last Sunday on Austin Creek, between Duncans Mills and Cazadero. About two square miles of timber has been de- stroyed. A large number of men are fighting the flames. The North Shore Railroad has a large force protecting its bridges and other property. As yet the company has lost little, but it is feared that the strong wind now blowing will assist the flames in doing a great deal of | damage. Two more forest fires are in action. One is between Guerneville and Mercury, on the top of the ridge. This has been burn- ing since Saturday, and once was under control, but to-day it took & fresh start and is doing much damage. The other is between Guerneville and Duncans Mills. The greatest loss in this fire is in the destfuction of corded wood. Miles of fencing have disappeared. These minor fires are supposed to have been started by the carelessness of campers. THOROUGHBRED STOCK AT SANTA ROSA FAIR Some Fine Exhibits of Horses, Cat- tle, Hogs, Sheep and Poultry.

Clough, ‘Western manager for the Diamond Match Company, announced to-day that the Big Doon sawmill near Lovelock, recently purchased by his company, would begin in a few days the cutting of railroad ties and bridge timbers to be used in the con- struction of a raflway that corporation will build to tap its immense timber pur- chases.

AT Sl Prisoner Is Hanged Despite Raising of Doubt as to His Guilt. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NOME, Alaska, Sept. 19 (via Seattle, Oct. 1)—Fred Hardy, convicted of the murder of Ccn and Rooney Sullivan on Unimuk Island on June 7, 1901, was hang- €d at 9:40 o’clock this morning. The ex- ! ecution took place in an addition built to the ice house on the lot opposite the jail. Hardy's neck was broken and in nine minutes and forty-eight seconds the pulse | ceased to beat and the physiclans pres- ent deciared life extinet. He died with- ocut asserting his innocence. The execution was under the supervis- ion of Deputy Marshal Eastabrook and the arrangements were complete. Father Caraldo administered the last sacrament. The death warrant was read to Hardy in his cell by Marshal Richards and a few minutes later the procession started for | the gallows. Hardy showed wonderful compesure. Up to last night he slept well. He arranged all his earthly affairs | and until yesterday was cheerful. Almost | until the last moment he seemed to hope that scmething would happen to give him Icnger lease of life. The last mail from”Nome brought an issue of the Nome Gold Digger containing an article in which it was declared that new evidence had been discovered indi- cating the innocence of Hardy. It was {n- timated by the Gold Digger that if Hardy were executed a horrible blunder would be mede. As Nome had no communica- tion with the outside world, except by steamer, there was no means by which a stay of execution could be obtained. According to the Gold Digger a man named Samuel Allison had predicted the killing of the Sullivans by Indians, and his actions were so suspicious that they gave the impression that he was seeking to hide something was implicated. FLOOR OF A CAGE IN MINE GIVES WAY | Two Men Are Killed and a Third Fa- | tally Injured in a Klondike Accident.

As no breaks could be found, tne engineer was signaled to lower the cage, which was sent down empty. On fits return it was again examined and thought to be safe. It was then the accident occurred. Me- Kinzey and Haddock stepped on the cage and it seemed to be all right, but when Frank Mills joined them the floor separated from the cage and the three | men fell to the bottom, a distance of 114 feet.

MARYSVILLE, Oct. 1.—Ah Joke, an in- sane Chinese, made an attack upon At- torney Wallace Dinsmore yesterday that would have resulted seriously had not Officer McCoy opportunely arrived on the scene. Ah Joke called at the lawyer's office and demanded two million dollars, which he claimed Dinsmore owed him. On being refused, he grew violent and made a rush for the attorney, saying he would take the gold from his pockets. A fierce struggle ensued, during which the maniac seized Dinsmore's whiskers with a grip that nearly pulled them out by the roots. The noise of the fight attracted attention, and an alarm was sent in to the police station. Officer McCoy. re- sponded, and finally succeeded in landing Ah Joke in jail. Dinsmore is suffering from nervous shock. o i A B Witnesses Defend the Pickets. OMAHA, Oct. 1.—The Union Pacific strikers began their testimony in the in- junction case in which the railroad seeks posting pickets in the vicinity of the shop yard. About twenty-five witnesses testi- fied and in nearly every case their testi- mony was to show that pickets were given orders to use only moral suasion in their efforts to induce men to quit and that they were threatened with fines and expulsion from the strikers’ ranks in case of violence or intemperate language. The testimony will all be in by to-morrow noon. A PR E Babe’s Murderer Convicted.

WILSON WHISKEY That’s Alll JAKE JOBEPH, Representative, 300 Battery Streety San Francisco. in which he himself | to restrain the striking shop-men from | ITH more than military promptness the army trans- port Thomas, which is bear- ing Lieutenant General Miles to the Philippines, cast loose yesterday from the Folsom-street whart. The time ball on the ferry build- ing flagpole, which drops to the base of the staff at exactly 12 o’clock noon, did not fall until the Thomas had half her bulk out in the stream. All the passengers were on board, however, | and as Major Devol had everything ready for a prompt start the {llustrious passen- ger was sent off on his journey with a promptness which would have aroused | the ire of a ferry commuter. Major General Hughes and his staff were conspicuous in the smartly dressed throng that crowded the dock in fare- well courtesy to the departing soldier. Two military bands played martial airs for an interval before sailing time, and as the trooper hauled out into the stream the brass orchestra, transferred to the deck of the tug Slocum, turned loose the | strains of “‘Auld Lang Syne.” As the Thomas straightened out for her start | across the Pacific, the Slocum followed | her into the stream, the band changing | the tribute from “Auld Acquaintance” to “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” General Miles, seated with his wife on the bridge deck, watched the scene with grave interest and, although he made no demonstration, volunteered neither a bow nor a wave of the hand. The old soldier seemed pleased at the hitchless start and the enthusiastic but decorous good-by. When the trooper reached the stream two of her rapid-fire guns barked fifteen times in honor of the three starred flag at her masthead. The Albatross and the Oregon acknowledged the troopship’s sa- lute by dipping their colors, an honor which most of the vessels anchored in | the harbor or tled up along the wharves | accorded the Thomas as she passed out to sea. The Thomas will call at Honolulu and Guam to enable the commanding general to visit and inspect the posts at these places. In addition to about sixty cabin passengers, the Thomas carried twenty- nine casuals, four signal corps men, twenty-four members of the hospital corps, seven members of the burial corps and two members of the Coast and Geo- detic Survi The cabin passengers were: Licutenant General Nelson A. Miles and wite, Lieutenant Colonel M. P. Maus and wife, A. S! Flint, Henry C. Rouse, Frank Wiborg, Lieu- tenant Emory §. West, Charles S. Hoyt. Julius Barteman, Lieutenant Colonels J. L.

The steamship Poplar Branch, which left Kuchinotzu September 9 for this port, has not vet arrived, and in consequence has lost a charter very much better than anything the market now affords or is likely to offer for quite a while. Her charter to load for St. Vincent at 25s 9d expired at midnight on Tues- day. She was chartered by Eppinger & Co. and her failure to arrive has saved that firm a snug sum of money. The Poplar Branch is a sister ship to the Lime Branch, which was here a few. days ago. She is a British tramp and has a cargo capacity of more than 10,000 tons dead weight. The British ship Netherby, which arrived the other day from Australia, reached port just in time to save a 80s charter. City of Sydney Arrives. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamship City { of Sydney arrived vesterday from Panama and way ports. She was off the harbor early in the day, but on account of the fog remained at anchor on the bar until late in the after- noon. She brought 3066 tons of cargo and treasure valued at $81,949 74. She had eighty- four passengers, which included thirty-elght Chinese en route to Hongkong. Among the passengers we Mrs. A. C. Wrempner, Otis Hidder, Mrs. A. | & Thomson, Mrs. L. Richardson, Douglas Daw- | son, Luis Ortega, L. M. Gray, L. B. Hawkins. Lo Ay il Heavy Fog on the Bay. Heavy fog overhung the bay yesterday and seriously impeded the traffic of the harbor dur- ing part of the morning. The early ferry-boats ran on an hourly schedule and the Sacramento River steamers found navigation a business fraught with not a little danger. The steam- ship City of Sydney, which arrived from Pan- ama, spent the day at anchor in the neigh- borhood of the lightship, her captain not caring to run the riek of another Rig disaster for the sake of savimg a couple of extra meals to the passengers. Buys Watet Nymph. | Captain Louls Harvey has bought the water steamer Water Wymph from the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and will hereafter manage her in his own interest. The Water Nymph is the only vessel of her kind in the harbor and is used for supplying vessels with water. Breaks ‘Both Legs. C. A. Patterson, who lives at 437 O'Farrell street, fell from a lumber pile yesterday at Lombard and Sansom: streets. He fell under the wheels of a passing truck and had both | legs fractured. ‘Will Discharge Part Cargo.

SEATTLE, Oct. 1.—Jesse Bartlett was tc-day identified in the county jail as the man who shot and killed Martin Johnson at Franklin on March 7. Thomas Hyde, owner of the saloon in which the murder occurred, is positive that Bartlett is the man. “I would know Bartlett's voice any- where,” said Hyde to-day. “He has a strong nasal twang that is particularly noticeable when he speaks in a loud tone, as he did when my saloon was held up. There is no doubt that he is the man.” Bartlett was also identified by John McKenzie, John Bishop and John Axel- eon, all of whom were in the saloon dur- ing the hold-up. As to Kestler, the wit- nesses are less positive, but all of them are of the opinion that he was Bartlett’s companion, although they may not be able to swear to the identification. Both prisoners maintain that they were in California last March and their stories will be investigated by Sheriff Cudihee. The men are at present held on the charge of having robbed John Michael on Monday afternoon, Jesse Bartlett is a desperate character. He seized Deputy Sheriff Collins’ rifie when he was being searched, although Collins had a revolver in his possession at the time. According to his own state- wments, he was born Town in distress, will there discharge about five hundred tons of cargo to allow of a survey between decks. e No Quarantine Against Alaska.

L i e e B e e 2l ) WITHOUT WATER FOR FOUR DAYS Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 1—The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Corona, while on her regular trip south, having left San Francisco early this morning, picked up a lifeboat belonging to the schooner Mary Buhne. In the boat were three men, a portion of the crew of the schooner, which was lying off some dis- tance, becalmed and unable to make any progress. When the crew of the schooner saw the Corona approaching the boat was put to sea apnd made toward the steam- ship. Its signal was seen and the three men were taken aboard. They told Captain Nopander of the Corona a story of suffering undergone by Captain Donnering of the Mary Buhne and his crew of six sailors. The schooner was short of provisions and for four days her crew had been without water, The captain of the Corona gladdened the hearts of the men by giving them a boun- tiful supply of provisions and water and the Corona passed, while the boat has- tened back to the Mary Buhne. The schooner had been at sea fifty days and had yet many miles to sall before her destination, Eureka, were reached. She had come from Topolobampo, on the : Gulf of Mexico. =z MINNBAPOLIS, Oct, L—’rhajl o turned a verdict convi convicting ex- lef !‘ndedct W.

An important point has been raised by Attorney George D. Collins in the libel proceedings against Dr. Dudley Tait insti- tuted by Dr. Carl W. von Tiedemann. The constitutionality of a provision in the | charter regarding libel cases will be test- ed through Collins’ contention. Attorney Collins, who represents the complainant, went before Superior Judge Cook and denied the jurisdiction of Police xdge Cabaniss to hear the case, on the ound that the charter provision giving Police Judges jurisdiction in’ the trial of libel cases was in conflict with the consti- tution, which gives Superior Judges ex- clusive jurisdiction in the trial of these cases. Judge Cabaniss had decided that he had jurisdiction and was trying the case of Dr. Tait, Coilins said. Judge Cook said that he would hear the arguments on the application made by Collins for a writ staying the proceedings before Judge Cabaniss to-morrow, with Judges Lawlor and Dunne sitting In bank, and requested the attorney to no- tify Judge Cabaniss of that fact and ask him to refrain from resuming the trial till a decision on the 'application is reached. “7hen the Talt case was called before Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon, At- torney Collins notified the Judge of the application and the request of Judge Cook and asked that the matter be continued till to-morrow afternoon. If the three Judges decided, Collins sald, that a Po- lice Judge had no jurisdiction a trial Jjudge, then the case would go on before Cabaniss sitting as a committing magis- trate for prelimi: hearing. Judge Cabaniss id he had always as- sumed that he had jurisdiction, but the question was a debatable one. On the theory that he had jurisdiction he had tried seyen or eigiit libel cases since he had been on the bench. Attorney Dunne, who represents the de- fendant, sald he was ready to go on with the case, but the Judge sald in view of Judge Cook’s request and in deference to him he would delay the matter as re- quested.
