Jury Says Accident, but Tragedy Is Still a Problem. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 1.—During the inquest over the remains of Gartardo Madona certain facts were brought out | which tend to show that his death is | not easily explained. Madona was found dead upon the California Northwestern Railrogd | tracks near Novato yesterday morning. His skull was fractured and his watch | and money were missing. The injury, it is belleved, was due to Madona be- | ing struck by an engine Sunday night, | but the position of the body and the loss of the dead man’s valuables have called forth a searching Investigation | by Sheriff Taylor and District Attorney Boyd. | Novato has been infested by tramps | | for the past week. On Sunday two men appeared at the residence of Mrs. W | | Matthias on Grand avenue and forced | admittance to her home. She had to | seek help to efect them. The same | tain Leon’s place, but were frightened | | off. Gartardo Madona was last seen alive | nday afternoon in Novato. At that | ne he displayed considerable money { and jewelry. During the Inquest this | | afternoon Joseph Gambetta, who is a | ranch hand on the Mattonl place, the | same ranch upon which Madona was employed, testified that he last saw Madona on Sunday. He knew he had money and saw his watch and chain. | Gambetta remained in Novato that | night, but Madona left town en route‘ fhome about 6:30 p. m. Yesterday | morning Gambetta left Novato about | 6:30 for the ranch by way of the rafl- | road track. When just out of Novato, G.nrm:mnal | says, he passed a stranger coming to- | ward town. The man saluted, but| passed. quickly. A short distance far- | ther down the track Gambetta discov- | ered his friend's dead body. He re- | turned to Novato and reported it, but before -any one went to the scene the Santa Rosa train en route to San Fran- | cisco arrived and the corpse was taken | aboard. Conductor John P. -Smith of | this train testified to having picked up the body. He stated that from exam- | | Ination of the wounds it would seem that the man had been lying at Tight angles to the track, but when discov- | ered was parallel to the rails and about | four feet from the ties. | Engineer Garcia, who ran locomotive No. 31 up country on Sunday night, | -testified that he presnmed his engine | struck Madona, buf that he was not | aware of it. - He passed the spot about | 7:50 Sunday night, saw no one andf heard no cries. He further stated that if | the man had been walking when struck | the body ‘'would have been hurled many feet farther than it was, while the limbs and other portions of the body would have borne evidences of injury. Dr.. Wickman, ‘the autopsy surgeon, | testified only to the Injuries sustained, and would give no theory as to the! cause of death. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. — e YEARS A TOTAL OF $700,000 Refrigerator Rebntn Alone Amount | to That, and Railroad Rake-Off’ Is Yet to Be Figured.

Southern Pacific Accused of Objection to Garden City Line. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Dec. 1—Strenuous ef- |forts are being made by some un- known corporation or persons to block the San Jose and Alviso Electrio Rail- way ij securing a right of way into | {this city. The general Iimpression | arouna the city is that the Southern Pacific 1s back of the move. V. A. Scheller, attorney for Mehling & Lock- | wood, the promoters of the Alviso line, made such & statement at the meeting of the City Council this afternoon. When the sale. of a franchise on First street from the northern city limits to Taylor street, thence up Tay- | lor to Second, and along Second to St. |James and down the latter to Market, came up yesterday, E. D. Crawford of Gilroy ran the price up to $6127. This franchise would give the Alviso line an entrance to the heart of the city. Crawford deposited 10 per cent of the sum, and when the Council mét to-day to ratify the sale he refused to pay the balance. Crawford demanded the | sale of the franchise to him at $110, | the first amount bid, and the return of the balance of his’deposit. The Council denied this request and ordered the sale rescinded and the de- posit forfeited. Bids yere then called |for the sale of the franchise again. | Mehling bid $100 and Crawford raised this 10 per cent. Bidding continued till the franchise ran up to $5500, when it went to Crawford. With each bid Crawford deposltod the money to cover 10 per cent of the Increase. This blocks the Alviso-San Jose road for a time at least. Crawford has un- | til 5 o'clock to-morrow ev: ening to pay the balance on the franchise. It is be- lieved he will bring suit to compel the Council to sell him the franchise on the first bid of $110 made yesterday on the ground he was the only one depos- iting any money. Crawford is a law- yer of Gilroy and will not state who he represents. The Alviso seek another road will now have to entrance into the city. Mehling and Lockwood propose put- ting on a fast line of steamers between | Alviso and San Francisco and it is be- lieved the Bouthern Pacific is. trying to head off this competition. ——e— RECEIVES MANY LETTERS THREATENING HIS LIFE Attempt Is Made to Intimidate At- torney Who Is Unearthing Crime in Chicago.
