ARYSVILLE, Oct. 5— In the fighting of flames which all the latter part of last week burned over a great stretch of territory along ‘the border line , between Yuba _and Butte - ‘counties many exhibitions of | exceptional fortitude are re- | corded and several of real ‘he- roism. The most interesting, howeverl relates to the saving -of ~—three-year-old- . Florence - Rogers by Bruno, a dog of the reat- Dane variety, bélonging to the family. Not thinking that the wind might: year and cause the fire to alter its course so as to en- -«danger their little home in a re- “Cently _made clearing, Rogers and. - his - wife left Florence playing on the kitchen floor and hastened down the road ‘over-a mile to assist the near- ..est neighbors in fighting the In less than an hour i |- © the wind\shifted to the north, | _-and with a\roar as of a furnace the ‘fire seized upon the fresh supply of = underbrush and - parched trees and made its way rapidly: ‘along - the hillside toward the Rogers home. Realizing the:'danger, Rog- ers and his wife and three neighbors started on a run, but their pace ;did not equal that of the flames. Anxiety as to their daughter’s fate caused Mrs. ! Rogers to faint before the home was in sight, but the men kept on. When the. edge of the clearing was reached the flames were all about it and the grass was blazing near the house. Just as Rogers was preparing for a dash across the burning ground Bruno. burst through the kitchen window holding the little. girl in his great mouth.' He dropped her for a moment as he landed, but quick ly picked hér up again and, an- swering whistles and calls, raced across the stubble to the rescuing party. Florence’s face and hands were painfally cut and her clothes were scorched, but she will soon recover. Bruno’s glossy coat is no more, but while he is waiting for it to re- sume its old appearance noth- ing will be too good for him. 10LN'S FOES REBUKED AT HIS BIER s Contihued From Page 1, Column 1. { during the speeches, yellow leaves flut- tered down upon it. ¢ M. Chaumie was the first aker. He said the Government was in honor bound to participate in the funeral of one of the highest literary glories of France, whose death had cast the country inte mourn- ing. Zola’s life work has been dominated by anxiety for sincerity and truth, the gpeaker said—anxiety inspired by his great feelings of pity and justice. Alluding to Zola’s part in the Dreyfus affair, M. Chaumie said that whenever a cause appeared to M. Zola as a just one he regarded it as his imperative duty to defend it, although he had to brave un- reasonable anger, suffer furious insults and unjust hatred and most painful aban- donments for so doing. These clamors were already dying out, continued the speaker, and death was bringing with it appeasement and calm. It had hastened the definitive hour of justice, and all truly high-minded men, whatever part they might have taken in the struggle, now towed before this coffin. M. Herman, on behalf of the societies of authors and dramatists, then gave an eloquent review of Zola's labors. The final oration was delivered by An- talo France, one of the most ardent champions of the revision of the Dreyfus case. M. France said that Zola's work could be compared only to that of Tol- stol, but that Tolstoi had built up a city of resignation, whereas the ideal of Zola had been work, The speaker dwelt upon the democratic aim of the dead novelist’s works and then burst into a powerful tribute to Zola's part in the Dreyfus affair and a denun- ciation of his enemies. He said he would not maintain a cowardly silence before the coffin of his friend, and spoke of the | sinister situation in the country when the populace, misled by monstrous lies and excited by odious declamations, believed it had been betrayed and felt exasperated. Then Zola wrote to the President of France that terrible letter, in which he denounced forgery and felony. M. France recalled the yells of rage and shouts of “Death!” which had pursued Zola to the law court during the long trial, which he sald had been judged in voluntary ignor- ance of the case, on false testimony and amid the rattling %f swords. In those days, continued M. France, many good citizens despaired of the salvation of the fatherland and of the moral future of the country. s But all was saved. Zola's courageous words had awakened France. The conse- quences of his action were incalculablc. A new order of things had been founded; better justice and a deeper knowledge of the rights of all men had come from his act. ¥ Applause broke frequently from M. France’'s hearers during his speech . and the crowd at the entrance of the ceme- tery heard and re-echoed it. At the conclusion of the orations the ANCIENT SCOTTISH RITE MASONS MEET AND CONSTITUTE NEW LODGE Establishment of Two |ndéppndent Bodies in One . City Marks a New Departure for the Order in , the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States | ¢ SN ACBERT W M¢ KENZIE St @ N the night of October 1 there oc- curred an event in Golden Gate Asylum on Sutter street which .. marks a new departure in the An- : cient = and. Accepted Scottish Rite of Masonry for the Southern Jurisdiction of the The event was the a new lodge of perfection rite named and is the first instance in the Southern Jurisdiction when more than one body of the rite has been per- mitted in a city at the same time. The rapid growth of the rite in this city made it advisable, in the opinion of those most interested, that there showld 'be two lodges. On that night twelve Masons of the Scottish Rite, by authority of W. Frank Plerce, thirty-third degree sovereign grand inspector’ general, were consti- tuted as San Francisco Lodge of Perfec- tion No. 10, and the following named were duly installed as the officers: Frank B. Ladd, thirty-third degree, venerable master; Albert W. McKenzie, senior ‘warden; Fred J. H. Rickon, thirty- third degree, junior warden; James L. Hawks, orator: Robert K. Dunn, almon- er; Charles. Jellinick, secretary; John P. Fraser, treasures; Robert. H. Morrow, master of ceremonies; James C. Smith, expert; Thomas Trebell, assistant ex- pert; Harry R. Hathaway, captain of the guard, and William H. Hindle, tyler. The officers installed are old and tried in Masonic work and they feel confident of Guccess in the new venture. Frank B.

FATHER SLAY CHILD'S LOVER Remarkable Story Told | toaJury in Nevada Court. Aged Indian Murdered That He May Join a Girl in Death. Special Dispatch to The Call. CARSON CITY, -Nev.,, Oet. 5—Tip Lowe, an Indian, has been brought to this city by Deputy Sheriff C. A. Watkins of Elko County and placed behind the bars in the Nevada Penitentlary, where he will be obliged to serve two years for man- slaughter. Behind the crime commiitted by Lowe lies a story of human interest that weighed heavily with the jury in reaching the conclusion that the Indian was not guilty of cold-blooded murder, although his victim was over 100 years of age and had never raised a hand against him. Lowe had lived in a tepee near Elko for many years. With him lived his young Gaughter and the aged Indian whose, life he took. The latter had established him- self in the Lowe household twelve years before. He was about 110 years old amd had been driven from camp by his rela- tives when he became too feeble to be_ol service. Lowe welcomed him and .in- stalled him as one of the family. A daughter made her appearance in the and the Then to the aged Indian fell the charge of the infant and its rearing -umtil its epirit followed that of the mother to the happy hunting grounds. While tending to its wants a strange affection sprang in the wizen-faced redskin's heart for the baby. So intense did this become that the old man always expressed a desire to die with the child, saying she was only comfort of his declining years and that he did not wish to survive her in the event of her early death. This hope that the two lives might go out together he often stated to the father, but the latter only laughed at him. About thres months ago the daughter became #l. The medicine man was called and prescribed an herb as the only cure for her allment: The father left in search of the remedy while the aged Indian took up the vigil by the side of the fevered child in the tepee. Lowe searched the hills and valleys for the plant that would restore health to his daughter. He tramped many miles over heated deserts and looked in the most Then despair came fo m as he realized the hopelessness of bis task and he started back to seé his child dle. First he drowned his sorrow with whisky and was badly intoxicated when he neared the tepee. From a dis- tance he saw the aged Indian approach- ing him. The old man told the father how the girl had just passed away and reminded him of his long cherished desire to die with the child he idolized. In the morning they found Tip Lowe beside the road stupefled by liquor and near by lay the old Indlan murdered. e | Lowe admitted his guilt and after telling the circumstances asked ‘mercy from the jury.- This was accorded, for they found him guilty only of manslaughter and fixed the penalty at two years' imprison- ment. NOTED PRIEST'S BODY NOW LYING IN STATE Impressive Procession in Santa Cruz When Father McNamee’s Re- mains Are Removed. SANTA CRUZ, Oct. 5.—There was a | solemn procession to-day when the body of the late Father McNamee was removed from the parochial residence to the Church of the Holy Cross, where it is to He in state until Tuesday morning. A cross-bearer was in advance and was fol- lowed by the acolytes in black cassocks. Then came the Right Rev. Bishop George Montgomery. The casket was borne by the pallbearers. The deceased priest's niece, Miss Mary McNamee, followed on the arm of the Sister Superior of the con- vent, and then walked the Sisters of Charity, the Christian Brothers, the Young Men’s Institute in a body and the | sodalities of the church and members of the congregation.

A majority of those who marched wore a red flower, the socialist emblem, in their buttonholes: others. wore bou- quets of violets. Each delegation brought a wreath and deposited it beside the cof- fin. A deputation of miners, in their working costumes, carried bunches of flowers fastened to poles. The people plucked the flowers and ferns which had been strewn on the coffin during the cere- mony and carried them away as souvenirs until none were left. After the march past, the coffin was placed Jn a temporary vault. The proceedings were perfectly orderly until the delegations left the cemetery. Then several of the leading actors in the Dreyfus affair, such as Colonel Plcquart, Maitre Labori and M. Jaures, were recog- nized and loudly cheered. Maitre Laborl, who was greatly excited, addressed a few words to the crowd, but, fearing that his words would lead to trouble, the police induced him and Colonel Piequart to enter the cottage at the gate of the cemetery and remain there until the crowd had disapeared. A few scuffles occurred on the Boule- vard de Clochy. Groups of Socialists went by singing the ‘“‘Carmagnole,” and Na- tionalists responded with counter cries, but the imposing force of guards pre- vented serious collisions.
