MODESTO, Dec. 24. —City Marshal Robert D. Young was shot and probably fatally wounded this evening by Daniel Isom. Isom was also shot, but not seri- . Young received his wourf=while charging the duties of his office as Marshal. He was trying to subdue Isom, who was under the influence of liquor and in the Mim saloon on I quarrelsome, street. Isom became abusive in the saloon, and when the bartender,” Thomas Love, re- monstrated with him he backed into a corner, and, flourishing a revolver, dared tany one to interfere “with him. Marshal Young entered the saloon by the rear door and began speaking to Isom, walking toward him at the same time. Isom halt- ed the Marshal when he was about ten feet away, warning him not to approach any closer under the penalty of being shot. Tsom declared that he was not go- ing to be arrested. Marshal Young then told Isom he would have to keep quiet and put up his revol- ver. Young turned toward the front door to go out and as he was about to push the' door open Isom fired. The Marshal got outside and Isom continued shooting after him. Young then drew his revolver and, returning to the satoon, fired one shot. It is believed the first shot fired by Isom hit Young. After the shooting Isom ran out of the saloon with a knife in his hand, declaring he would kill Young any way. As he approached Marshal Young shot him in the upper part of the leg, dropping him Marshal Young then walked away toward a doctor’s office, pro- ceeding about one hundred feet before he collapsed. Three physiclans were sum- moned and it was found that one of the bullets had entered Young's left side di- rectly below the heart. It lodged against the backbone, from where it was cut out.

He is a most conscientious worker and demands absolute obedience from his sitters.

B e e e e e AR R T ) FIERY STREAKS ILLUMINE HILLS The Iron Mountain Mine Uses Flashlight to Protect Plant. Special Dl!Dllch to The Call. REDDING, DEC 24.—The mysterious flashing of light and fiery streaks along and over the hills and mountain sides in the vicinity of the Iron Mountain mine has uat last been explained. The flashes have been caused by an exceedingly strong searchlight that the Mountain Ccpper Company has installed at the| rafrie. The big searchlight was put in working order for the first time Sunday and during the night and at fre- quent Intervals since then great streaks of brilliant light have been shect and fiashed over the surrounding hills to the worderment and alarm of many people. The searchlight is .one of the most rowerful made and can throw light on cbjects for miles around, rendering them eoxily distinguishable. The light has been rlaced on a high platform at the com- pany’s upper bunkhouse at the Iron Moun- tain mine and by its aid the company guards can see what Is going on at every roint of the company’s property. The light was put in to prevent depredations as'a result of the strike, or at least to add in maintaining a watch that would result in lessening the danger of depredations by persons antagonistic tc the company. ©On a dark night the flashes can be plainly seen for miles and the display is pretty. Thé pumping plant at the Iron Mountain minc mysteriously ceased operations yes- terday. An investigation revealed th fact that some one had attempted to biow vp the dam across Boulder Creek, about two miles from the Iron Mountain mine. The water of Boulder Creek is that used by the mine and the destruction of the dam would cut off the water supply and result disastrously to the company. A first report came to the effect that the at- tempt was successful and that a large cuantity of giant powder had been used. That the attetapt was made there seems to be no doubt, but it was a failure and the cnly trouble that ensued was the tem- *- p!o’rary stopping of the pumping ma- chinery 19802 STRONG ENTAY OF FIELD D0GS Pointers in the All- Age.
