FREES SUSPECTS IN SILUA CAGt Sheriff Bishop Confirms Truth of Their Ex- planations. Contra Costa Officers Are on the Trail of Two Men in a Cart. A Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 15. Charles Nathan and Julius A. Tift, ar- rested Saturday under suspicion of com- plicity in the attack last Tuesday on Mary Silva at Orinda Park, were released this afternoon by Sherif Bishop. The men’s straightforward explanatlons about their wheréabouts the day, of the crimé were corroborated completely to-day. Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa County was satisfied the pair would prove to be inno- cent, but as a matter of official precau- tion the statements were thoroughly in- vestigated. The Contra Costa County Sheriff, w'thin whose jurisdiction the ault occurred, has been at work -day and-night since the crime was reported tc him trying to get a clew to the brutal assailants. He has been hampered much by the inability of the girl to give good descriptions of the men. Sheriff Veale says the girl feels confi- dent, however, that she can identify the | man who took her off the horse she was | riding after the couple had accosted her. | { The victim had better opportunity to see him than his companion, who leveled a of the pair. | In searching the country the Sheriff has | come across a trace of two men, appar- | n a They stopped Tuesday morning at | ently hunters, who were . driving cart. Jacob Klelss' roadhouse on the S8an Pablo oad and asked the way to ranch, where the Silvas reside. The men were seen Tuesday afternoon on the same road the girl took when she was at- tacked. A general description of the men in the cart tallles with that given by Mary Silva of her assallants. Other than this Sheriff Veale has un- covered nothing of value. He says he will not relax his efforts until every possible move has been made in the search. Sher- iff Bishop and the Oakland police are co- operating.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 15.—The Supreme Court to-day quashed the writ of quo warranto in the case of Attorney General Crow against the Missouri Pa- cific, Santa Fe and eleven other railroad companies. This Is the reconsignment case. Judge Burgess wrote the opinion, in which all his associates are concurred. It is a victory for the roads, In that the court sustained the plea made by the raliroads that this proceeding was prose- cuted solely in vindication of private rights and the redress of private griev- ances and therefore ordered the writ quashed. The court holds that a wrong to a private individual or individuals can- not be corrected by a quo warranto pro- ceeding. The court says that the statute provides ample relief for remedy of such private wrongs as are complained of in this proceeding at the hands of the rail- road and warehouse commissioners and to those cominissioners such matters should be referred for adjustment. . . the Smith | maid of honor will be Miss | Josie Hanlon and the bridesmalds will be | Mise Jennie Hartman and Miss Florence | Mr. and Mrs. | renholt, who has been | CLOUDBURST'S LONG RECORD OF DICTIMS Continued From Page 2, Column 4.

The town is built on the banks of Willow Creek in the neighborhood of the converging point of four other moun- tain streams that drain a large area of rolling and hilly country that reaches from three to twenty miles to the foot- | hills and along the course of Willow Creek itself for a distance of twenty-five miles to the base of the Blue Mountains. To the west and east of the town run- ning southwest and southeast respectives Iy, until they empty into Willow Creek, are two deep gulches which run back some miles Into the foothills as they nar- row to form the valley in which th | town is located. Flowing almost directl: | south to the Willow and joining but a half mile or so above the town is Balm | | Creek, which draine in its course to the | foothills for a distance of fifteen miles a wide region of hilly country. Next cemes the main watercourse, Wil- low Creek, with an immense area of drainage that extends northeast for a dis- tance of twenty-five miles to the Blue Mountains. Farther east, four miles, is Hinton Creek, that runs practically paral- lel with Willow Creek for a distance of twenty miles, having its rise in the foot- hills and entering into the most easterly | gulch a few miles south of Heppner.

His family is in Portland, but his father- in-law and sister are at Heppner, and up to a late hour to-night he had received no news from them.

Residents of Brooklyn Township have ‘begun a battle against the saloons and resorts along the San Leandro road from Seminary avenue to San Leardro Creek. Protests against the granting of saloon | licenses to any person in Precincts 1 and 2 of Brooklyn Township were filed to-day with the Board of Supervisors, in accord- ance with the provisions of the new local option law.

Where they will be taken is not known, but even if they are admitted to bail the Deweys will hardly dare to remain in the country, as the settlers would doubtless avenge the deaths of the Berrys at the first oppor- tunitv. Eastern capitalists are already asking the Deweys to place a price on their ranch. with the idea that the set- tlers would not allow the Deweys to re- main there, even if they should get out of the present trouble, but Dewey says he has no thought of selling. e NINE WEDDINGS OCCUR AT QUARANTINE WHARF Japanese Women Desiring to Land at Honolulu Marry Men They Claim as Husbands.

Fre- | quent violations of the immigration laws have caused the Federal officials to ex- | ercise more care and when the Japanese women arrived on the Korea and claimed | that their husbands were in they were compelled to prove it. A Japan- ese minister was secured to tie the nup- tial knot a second time before the wom- en were permitted to land.

The resolutions appeal to the toilers of the nation so to array themselves on the political ground in 1904 and use the fran- chise of citizenship to overthrow at the ballot box a system that demands for its derous implements of barbarism. e r—— Fellow POLITICS | THIRTY-FIRST FORMS CLUB.
