Aided by Confederates After Confess- ing Numerous Attempts to » Destroy the. Bar- racks. O R Special Dispatch to The Call. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 25.—The mystery which surrounded the repeated attempts to destroy the nmew military post at the | mouth of the Columbia is rivaled by that | attending the escape of the confessed in- cendiary, Pri Thompson, from the un- @erground prison in Which he was con- fined at Fort Stevens. At 5:30 o'clock last evening Thompson was in his cell when the sentry gave him his dinner, but dur- ing the night he disappeared as though | the earth had opened and swallowed him. All efforts to effect his recapture have thus far ended in faflure and there seems little probability that he ever will be taken It is learned that Thompson was the soldier whose arrest was brought about through the clever work of a secret ser- vice agent. The Government agent en- listed at the fort and singled out Thomp- son as the ringleader of the incendiaries. whose daring attempts to burn and blow | up the post had filled officers and men with terror.

Together the men went to Portland, where the soldier, in an outburst of confidence, made a sweep- | ing confession. implicating two other en- | listed men. { Thompson was at once placed under ar- rest and returned to the fort. There he was confined in the underground prison, | pending trial by court-martial. Subse- quently he made a written confession, in which he exonerated the men whom he | had previously implicated, assuming sole responsibility for the acts of vandalism. The other men were then released from custody. There are two entrances to thé under- | ground cell, and a sentry was stationed | in front of one of them. The location of the prison made it seem impossible that & prisoner could escape, but when the | guard went to the cell this morning with Thompson’s breakfast the soldier was gone. A ventilator extends into the cell, and it is believed some confederate pro- | wided the soldier with a wrench by pass- ing it through the tube, and that Thomp- son loosened the bolts of the door. A boatman had been observed on the river near the fort during the day, and! the officers- believe Thompson was taken aboard one of the ships in the harbor. The quarantine tug Electro was engaged to visit the vessels with a squad of men, | but no trace of the missing prisoner was | found. Search has been instituted through | the country surrounding the 'fort, but this likewise has resulted i failure. That the | culprit has made good his escape seems | probable.

The efforty of the officers will now be | @irected toward the arrest of the men who helped th® prisoner to escape. The | fact that he was aided tends to confirm the belief that Thompson was not alone in his plan to destroy the post, despite his contrary confession His written allegation RANCHER’S WIFE SHOOTS AT A VALLEJO HUNTER Bullet From Her Rifle Cuts Fprruw in the Scalp of Her Intended Vietim.

TINGLEY Southern Pacfic Fire- man Makes Peculiar Plaint. Special Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, Nov. 25.—W. A. West, a Southern Pacific fireman, has made an affidavit in reference to Mrs. Katherine Tingley, of whom he was formerly a dis- ciple. He says that while in SBacramento some years ago he heard her lecture, and when she turned to him and said, “There is somethirg in store for you,” he was much impressed and asked what it was. She repiied: “I cannot tell you, but it is something good.” West then went to Point Loma and be- came one of her followers, contributing trom his earnings to the support of the society, until he became convinced that he was gaining nothing and withdrew. | Since that time, he declares, he has been possessed by a “master mind,” directed which has sapped his strength of mind and body zo as to in- | terfere with his work and prevent his pro- motion to an engineer’s position. He has written to Mrs. Tingley several times, Dbegzing her to relieve him of the in- fluence of the “master mind.” and she re- | plied that he must suffer patiently for a while, as it was all for his own good. These letters were written by Pierce, Mrs Tingley's secretary. West asserts that, in some mysterious way unknown to him, Pierce has regained possesion of the let- ters. West savs that the disciples at Point | Loma are put through a course of train- ing in the occult sciences, called “Raja Toga,” which renders them completely subject to Mrs. Tingley’s will. The chil- dren are subject to this same course, the professed objeet of which is to kill the In his affidavit West speaks of Mrs. Tingley in bitter terms, and says if he had $190,000 he would “giadly give it all { to be freed from her influence.” The afidavit was made at the reguest of the Humane Society and was forward- ed to-night to New York, for use in the investigation ther: PROMISES BIG SENSATION. Gerry Talks of Mrs. Tingley’s School. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. -Commissioner of Williams says that the hearing in the case of the children before the special beard of inquiry on Ellis Isl- and, which was reopened at Mrs. Ting- ley's request, probably will be held early nex: week. “Of course, 1 do not know what Com- missioner Sargent saw at Raja Yoga School, or what are his impressions of it,” said Commodore Gerry to-day. ‘‘but if his impressions are favorable 1 think he will be very apt to change his mind rding Mrs. Tingley when he hears the mony the society will submit at the ‘Wext hearing. “In my opinion Mrs. Tingley is not a propér person to have the care of any child. She is perfectly frank to say that hers is the ‘religion of nature’—she be- lieves and teaches that ‘whatever is nat- ural is right.’ But the point is that chil- aren at the Raja Yoga School recelve no religious training. Nine of the eleven hiliren whom the court of special in- » has orddered back to Cuna are Cath- : two are Protestants. If they should arrive in Mrs. Tingley’s school all will be denuded of their parental religion which fs guaranteed to them by the constitutidn of the United States.” The struggle over the eleven children grows more bitter. Mrs. Tingiey's fol- lowers, some of whom are rich and in- fluential, declare that Commissioner Gen- eral Sargent’s report will completely vin- dicate their leader’s charzcter and firmly establish the Raja Yoga School.

ALMOST PERISH \ Tudor Tiedemann One of an Unfortunate Party. Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 25.—Tudor J. A. Tiedemann, general agent of the Scottish Tnion and National Insurance Company and a prominent sportsman of S8an Fran- cisco, who is in Victoria on a visit, suf- fered severe privations and had a narrow escape from death on Saturday last. In ccmpany with two Victoria gportsmen, C. Young and Frank Davy, he was lost on Braden Mountain, near Goldstream, and about seventeen miles from Victoria. They wandered for twenty-four hours in the woods and almost perished as a result of their exposure in the heavy gale which 1aged at that time. The three men left this city on Friday night and started to stalk deer on Braden Mountain on Saturday morning. Tiede- mann got a deer soon after they began to hunt, and they started to bring it out over the trail. A fog came up and en- veloped the mountain, and soon they could not see the blazes which marked the half-hidden trail. It was not long be- fore they- realized that they were lost, and they fired many shots in the hope of getting a signal from someé prospector's camp or the hotel at Goldstream, but without any result. They were compelled to abandon the deer, which Tiedemann was carrying, and found themselves walking in circles near the summit of the mountain. Rain began to fail, and everything be- ing wet and rainsoaked they were unable tc make a fire. Toward nightfall the weather became very cold and the trio were obliged, having failed in all their efforts to build a fire, to keep walking to | preyent freezing. I Their hands were swollen and they suf- | fered otherwise as a result of the ex- | rosure before they were found late next morning by =ome other hunters and shown the way to Goldstream, whence they drove to this city vesterday. They were without food for thirty-five hours. SMALL HOPE FOR SA—FETY OF THE GENERAL SIGLIN Cutter Manningkl;rings News That Indicates the Loss of the Schooner, SEATTLE, Nov. More definite news concernig the long overdue fishing schooner General Siglin is at hand from officers of the United States revenue cut- ter Manning, Captain C. H. MecLellan commanding, and their report only tends to intensify the fears entertained for the famous little vessel. The Manning passed the Siglin at 3:45 o’clock on the afternoon of October 13, both bound for Dutch Har- bor. At that time the Siglin was forty miles off False Pass, in the Aléutian ar- chipelago, and seven days out from the mouth of the Kupkokwim. With anything like fine weather she should have reached Dutch Harbor on October 15. The Man- ning made that port on October 14, or the the following day after sighting the Sig- lin. About 11 o'clock on the night of the 13th a storm set in, which gathered such force and fury that on the following day it was declared to be the severest of the season on Bering Sea. Nothing could have pre- vented the Siglin being caught in this ter- rible gaie and it is this knowledge that ‘s causing such anxiety. It taxed the sea- worthiness of the Manning, her 2500 horse- power engines being brought into full play before the vessel could reach Dutch Har- bor. where she sought anchor during the closing hours of the storm. The Manning lay at Dutch Harbor from October 15 until November 5, but during that time the Siglin, though within two days’ runm, did not put in an appear- ance. e Railroad May Build a Church.

REDDING, Nov. 25.—Otto Jensen, em- ployed at the La Grange hydraulic mines in Trinity County, had a thrilllng ex- perience on Saturday. Jensen was at work on the upper flume of the company. He put a board across the flume and started to cross upon it. One of his companions called to him from the rear and Jensen,, in looking back, lost his balance and slipped into the flume. The big V-shaped carrier was full of water and debris, and, being at an angle of about 30 degrees, it carried Jensen swiftly down stream. For fully two miles he was shot along, bobbing up and down among large and small logs -amd particles of timbers. At the end of this stretch he was dumped into the lower flume, a distance of twenty feet helow. Down he was carried in this flume for %00 yards, when he was shot out from the flume end and down twelve feet to the debris pile. He was caught up by some workingmen and carried to camp more dead than alive, but the hero of @ ride that few men can boast of, His injuries may be fatal.

The family had been taking an out- | ing at a city park and were returning| home. The mother, carrying a 2-year-old baby, had crossed the tracks, and the father was following. Behind him was the boy. The father saw the car ap- proaching and crossed the track ahead of it. Just as he turned to warn the child not to follow, the little fellow started to run across the track and the car struck and killed him. £ < The mother laid her babe upon the ground and threw herself upon the body of her boy and could not be moved except by force.

JACKSON, Nov. 25.—The trial of Owen Fallon, charged with the murder of Ray- mond Meehan on August 17, was called in the Superior Court to-day. Little diffi- culty was found in swearing a jury. The prcminence of the principals in the trag- edy, which was the result of Mechan's alleged attentions to Mrs. Fallon, drew a big crowd to the court house. James Meehan, father of the deceased, testified regarding the death of the young man. Deputy Sheriff Charleg, J. Grego{y testified that he was !t;ndlnist the bar in the Gem saloon with yoyng Meehan when Fallon entered and asked Meehan if he was armed. Gregory seized Fallon, but the latter threw him to one side and fired two shots at Meehan, both of which missed him. Then Meehan grappled with Fallon and both fell to the floor, where Fallon fired three more shots, all of which took effect. L. M. Martell, father-in-law of Falion, swore that just before the shooting Fal- lon had declared that he was going to Jackson to kill Meehan. On cross-exami- pation the witness said that this threat was made after Fallon had,asked his wife if she had given him up for Meehan and she failed to answer, but sat crying. This testimony created a sensatjon in court. FLOOD BURSTS UPON BONANZA Klondike Miners Tap Ewift Subterranean Stream. —_—— Special Dispatch to The Call. / DAWSON, Nov. 2.—Miners of Bonanza sPent yesterday afternoon trying to save their buildings and shafts and the rich gold dumps from the most curious winter flood that has ever occurred in the Klon- dike. From a distance of more than 210 feet up through the rock and frozen clay of El Dorado Creek a gush of water is coming that is causing more excitement and threatens more damage than any similar phenomenon ever witnessed in the north. L Sevlal layers of gold-bearing sands al- ternating with loose rock and muck simi- lar to the surface diggings were encoun- tered after the first 100 feet had been completed. The. theory of the promoters of the work is that after these loose lay- ers have been passed the genuine bedrock will be encountered and a great quantity oi gold will be found immediately above that. These layers have been passed through one by one, and yesterday at noon the ‘men were down 210 feet. At that depth the ground was still frozen with ice that could be measured only by the lapse of centuries, and thawing ma- chines and powder in plenty had to be used, the same as above ground. Yesterday the miners left for dinner and the steam thawers were hard at work. When the men returned they fcund water at the bottom, and the men who first descended had to return to the surface immediately to escape drowning. In six hours the shaft was filled to the brim. Then the overflow began to run down the hill. The torrent ran through part of the town of Bonanza, causing some damage by undermining small build- ings and making a new stream to the main river. Fully 500 inches of water, in a stream from twelve to eighteen feet in width, was soon coursing among the dwellings of the miners and washing a away a ravine for itself down the center | of the village.

LAY GLAIM 10 ACRES IN L05 ANGELES Mary J. Bell to éegin Sensational Attack on Titles. Will Sue for Large Tract in the Center of/the City. —— | Is a Niece of Jacob Bell, the Pioneer, for Whose Murder a2 Man Was Lynched in the Seventies. Special Dispatch to The Cally LOS ANGELES, Nov. %.—Secret prepa- rations are under way for the most sen- sational legal fight for land in the history of Los Angeles. Eastern heirs claim ownership and in- tend to sue for possession of property in the heart of this city aggregating in value several millions of dollars. Hundreds of titles are threatened. Among the many big properties claimed is the County Courthouse site; twenty acres between Second and Fourth streets and Main and Broadway; one-seventh of the %00-acre San Antonio ranch, and nu- merous scattered lots. The claimant is Miss Mary J. Bell, whose home is in Washington County, Pennsylvania. She is a niece of Jacob Bell, a pioneer of this part of the State d once one of the largest land ownmers in’ this city. In 1875 Bell was murdered by a man named Lechanus, who was lynched the day after the murder. At the time of his death Bell owned man; res of land, some of which is now in@ie center of the city and worth many hundreds of dollars per front foot. ' The estate was administered by Captain Cameron Thom, in whose report many parcels of land are mentioned as ‘“sup- | posed to belong to Jacob Bell,” but thero is said to be no record of any transfer of this land. The land was not valuable In 1871, for the city was little more than a hamlet. Miss Bell arrived hera from Pennsylva- nia three weeks ago and has since been searching the county records. She re- fuses to disclose the documentary evi- dence in her possession. She has retained former Supreme Court Justice John D. Works and Bradner W. Lee to prosecuts her claims. No formal demand has been made for the property, but preparations are being carefully made for the legal fight which will follow such demand. ARCHBISHOFP RIORDAN MAY GO TO CHICAGO Appointment of a Successor to Fee- han, Deceased, Not Yet De- cided Upon. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—A special to the Journal from Rome says: The question of a new Archbishop for Chicago is stiil complicated. The congregation of the propaganda is desirous of the appoint- ment of Bishop Spalding, but serious op- position has developed to that cleric. Let~ ters have been sent to the propaganda from America protestihg against and de- nouncing Bishop Spalding. This attack is not confined to Bishop Spalding, other candidates also being de- nounced. One result of this opposition is that the appointment to the Chicago archbishopric will not be madegbefore De- cember, and another result is that the nomination of Archbishop Riordan aof San Francisco to the vacancy caused by the death of Archbishop Feehan is among the possibilities. pecao R0 2%kl Line Up for Maneuvers.
