MAN’S MUTILATED HEAD IS FOUND AT EUREKA Ghastly Evidence of the Manner ‘in ‘Which a Hostler Probably Ended Life. EUREKA, Oct. 23.—A ghastly discovery | was renorted to the Chief of Poiice this of nd | in, 3| ty, in | afternoon. It was the upper portion of 2 man’s head, the lower jaw being miss, ing. From its condition 4t had evidently the | been recently torn from the body to which it ‘belonged. The finder of the head is John Reinger, an aged German, residing on the southern boundary of the city. In his opinion the head was torn from the body by some of { the sstray dogs of the region. A searcn of the immediate neighborhood failed to disclose any other parts of the hody. The skull indicates the manner of death. A bole in each side of ‘it shows that a bullet had entered the rignt side behind the ear and had emerged almost exactly opposite, tearing out a large ‘irregular section of bone on the left side and badly shattering the skull. It is thought by some that the finding of the head will clear up the mystery of the disappearance of Jacob Luft, a Geérman employed as a hostler, who suddenl} disappeared from his lodgings several months ago. He was suffering with cancer and had threatened to end his life. It is thought he went to some out of the way place and committed | suickie. The features pf the head were beyond recognition and it may be impos- sible to identify it. ———— Entertains President at a Dinner.

ENTER- TAINMENT. 3 COAL TO THKE LA OF O1L Southern Pac fic Decides to Retura to the Old Fusel Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 23.—The Carbon Hill coal mines, .at Carbonado, thirty miles east of Tacoma, have been ordered by the Southern Pacific Railway, which owns them, to ship to San Francisco 25,000 tons mouthly. The first shipment will be made on the steamer Aztec, leaving here November 15. This important announcement, which affects the entire coal mining industry of the Northwe *, was made to-day by Agent Winsor, local agent of the Carbon Hul Coal Company. The order of the Southern Pacific is a standing one and is taken to mean that the railroad has de- cided to use coal instead of ofl on its passenger locomotives. = Previous to ten months ago Carbonado coal had been used for twenty-three years by passenger locomotives on the Oakland-San Franeis- co ferries. It is understood here that the oil deposited too much bitumen in the locomctive flues and likewise produced such intense heat as to crack the boiler sheets, these results producing dead en- gines and bringing about the decison to return to the use of coal. Though the coal industry was seeming- 1y hard hit last year by the general use of oil in California, coal consumption has steadily increased and the mines are now working on full time.

At Echo Mountain House al- most half an inch fell between 10 olclock and midnight. At San Fernando the rain-{ fall amounted to .40 of an inch before 11| o'clock, and at Baugus, onthe other side of the mountain, there was .10 of an inch more. The rain at this time will not be wel- come to the ranchers. Hundreds of tons 0§ feed are not under shelter and a large quantity of grapes being dried for raisins will be spoiled if the rain extends over Southern California. FRESNO, Oct. 23.—Rain has fallen in- termittently throughout the day and the indications are that to-morrow will be showery. But little damage hag ' been done. as raisin growers efther had their product in' the packing-houses or their trayg stacked. The rain may result in some grapnes which would otherwise have been made into raisins being turned into the wineries, but inasmuch as Fresno County has already harvested one of the largest raisin crops in her history there is small cause for complaint. Grain farm- ers welcome the ‘rain, as it will make it possible for them to commence plowing at an early date. - BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 23.—After threat-| ening for the past twenty-four hours it began raining at 5 o'clock this evening and rain has been falling steadily since that hour. with the prospects for an all- night storm. The rain at this time is un- welcome to the stock men in the foothills | and mountains, for the reason that much dry feed will be destroyed. The rain will also injure some raisins which age still on the trays, though the damag% this direction will not be great. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Oct. 23. ain has been falling here most of the time since Tuesday morning, and the earth hds had a good soaking. The precipitation will amount to over an inch and the pros- pects are that the storm will continue through the’ night. The rain will do no harm, as crops have been generally gath- ered. LOMPOC, Oct. 23.—Lompoc Valley has been favored —with a good soaking, the rainfall for the present storm amounting to 1.62 inches. This insures good new feed and the dairymen and stockmen are jubi- lant. The bean and mustard crop has been taken care of and -the rain:will -do no damage.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 28 —Rain fell here at intervals to-day.- The fall for the season was .60 of am inch up to 3 o’clock and later in the afternoon there were several heavy showers, aggregating .50 of an inch additional. A great deal of fruit is still on the trays, but most of this has been protected by plling the trays and the dam- age will be slight unless the storm con- tinues two or three days. Some prunes are still lying on the ground under the trees. These will be a total loss.. A large part of the grape crop is still " on the vines. It is raining hard at 10 p. m. SANTA ROSA, Oct. 23.—The storm which broke three days ago still continues and to-night shows no sign of abating. Between twd and three inches of rain has fallen so far and the storm is one of the heaviest ever noted here at this season of the year. Damage has been dome to the grape crop. Thousands of tons are still unharvested and at the high prices pre- vailing at this season the loss will be a heavy one to the grape men. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 23.—The showers have continued more or less throughout the day, accompanied by a half-gale at times and the prospects are for more rain to-night. The continued rain will do some damage to the fruit growers who have not | yet harvested their crops, but the farm- ers are jubilant over it, as it will soften the soil sufficiently to enable them to cultivate their ground for hay and to put their summer fallow ground in good shape. On the other hand the grape grow- ers will be more or less damaged, as their shipping grapes were latar in ripening this year than usual and the shipments would bhave continued for two or three weeks longer had the rain held off. While the skin of the grape may not be cracked by the rain, it becomes tender and will not bear shipment as well. PETALUMA, Oct. 23 —The rainfall to- day was over one inch. Rain is welcome and will go great ood in preparing the earth for cultivation. Damage to grapes unpicked will be nominal. Thunder and lightning accompanied the rain. COLUSA, Oct. 23.—A thunder and lght- ning storm passed over Colusa at noon to-day. A quarter of an inch of rain fell in twenty minutes. is doing great damage to prunes on trays. NEVADA CITY, Oct. 23.—It has Been raining for the past two days and during an electrical display this afternoon the rain fell in torrents, every street in Ne- vada City being flooded. Lightning struck several places on the edge of town, but there were no fatalities. ° SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 23.—-This en- tire county was favored with a most gen- erous rainfall to-day, with indications -6t a continuance throughout the night. More than an inch of rain fell in this city, ‘while as high as three inches was report- ed from some sections near by. During the morning a light but steady fall oc- curred, but about 12 ¢'clock rain began to fall in torrents and -continued all af- ternocn. The loss to the bean growers will not be as great as was at first re- ported, must of the crop having been har- vested and put safely away. The good that will result cannot be estimated and farmers and stockmen are elated at the prospects. On the San Julian ranch 2.93 inches werp recorded. in less than six hours and the streams in that locality are filled with water. At Lompoc, Santa Maria and Santa Ynez, a large precipita- ticn has been reported. A southeast wind is blowing and a heavy sea is running at this point. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 23.—There are no in- dications of rain here to-night. A storm is not desired at ‘this time, as it would damage raisins.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 2.—A twenty- eight-mile race occurred here to-day be- tween Andrew J. Monihan, a Los Angeles attorney, and his wife for the custody of their 4-year-old son. It commenced at Mayer and it ended in Prescott. * The couple separated some time ago, the mother taking the child. Later Moni- han secured possession of it and placed it in a convent in Phoenix, Ariz., where he formerly resided. About four months ago the mother secured the child from the | Sisters and brought it t6 this county. She was stopping with her sister, whose husband is in charge of a rallroad grad- ing outfit near Mayer. ; Monihan came to Prescott last night, secured a team and drove out to Mayer. At about 8 o’'clock this morning he found’ the child some distance from the house, grabbed it up and drove rapidly toward Prescott, expecting to catch the noon | train. The whole neighborhood was aroused and citizens started in pursuit, several persons being armed. Monihan arrived only a few minutes ahead of the pursuers, but the officers had been notified by telephone and were awaiting his arrival. They took charge of the child. The case will be tried in the ! District Court on Saturday next. Miner Is Crushed to Death.

Y., on charges of ‘conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman,” was received at the War Department to-day. It was allesed that in 1500 he incurred indebtedness which he failed to pay. Captain Lynch pleaded not gullty to the charges, but guilty to so much of the specifications as referred to the indebtedness. The court found him “not guilty” of “‘conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman,” but guilty of ‘“‘conduct to the prejudice of good omder and military discipline,” and sentenced him to be reduced in his grade ten files.

CITY, Oct. 23.—Lightning played havoc among wires of the South Yuba Company and Nevada County Gas and BElectric Company this afternoon. It struck the trolley of the electric line be- tween here and Grass Valley, burned out the powerful dynamos and completely stopped traffic hgtween the towns. The lightning entered the substation and everything inflammable took fire. Fortu- nately the building is of corrugated iron and the damage done to it is slight. The expensive machinery, however, is almost ruined. —p by stage hands who had rushed forward at hearing the commotion. Miss Dalley was taken downstairs, still protesting against the treatment accord- ed her, and friends attempted to quiet her. Her emotions, however, were aroused to a higher pitch when Lask fol~ lowed to wash the hiood from his face. Jumping up, she made a second attack, adding a few additional scratches and bruises and would have continued to diss figure the manager’s appearance had not friends, as before, separated them. Miss Dailey, being excited over the in- cident, went to her home, but Lask, bath- ing his face in cold water, remained throughout the performance. B P P TROOPS ARRINE AFTER LYNCHING State Militia Move Too Slowly to Save a Negro. SEIL e TALLAPOOSA, Ga., Oct. 2.—Ben Brown, a negro, charged with having at- tempted to criminally assault Mrs. Hen- ry Dees, a white woman, at her home this morning, was taken from the County Jail here at 7 o'clock by a mob of 30 men and lynched. Brown was captured a few hours after his attempted crime and brovght to this town and placed in jail. As soon as ths news of his capture was learned a mob was hastily formed and marched to the jail and demanded the negro. Mayor Hutcheson wired Governor Cand- ler for troops and in the meanwhile en- deavored to persuade the mob to allow the law to take its course. Upon learning that treops had been < spatched fhe mob stormed the jail and after securing the negro carried him to a spot near Mrs. Dees’ house, hanged him to a bridge and filled his body with bui- lets.
