The shock and loss of blood from | | the severad artery in her right arm are | given as the immediate cause of her death. : | The entire tragedy is shrouded in the | | deepest mystery. The young lady de- | clared positively time and again that | she did not see the party who shot | her, and had no idea who her assailant was. She had been in the barn for| some minutes when the shots were fired. It was some time after she had ran fainting into the house before any | one approached the barn, thus a party | secreted there would have had ample | time to escape unseen. i | To-day officers found the marks of | | three bullets in the roof of the side of | the barn, and Constable Handman found a bullet very much flattened on | the ground beneath these marks. It | was that of a 38-caliber revolver. To- { day a blood stain was found on the side of the barn opposite which the wounded girl made her escape. It was | | on the side of one of the small win- | dows, and looked as though some one with a blood-stained hand had clam- bered through this window. As it is not within the range of vision, | of parties at or about the houses, the | theory is advanced that the murderer | made his escape through this window. | As to the blood, two theories are worth | considering—either her murderer shot himself accidentally his hurry to pocket his weapon and escape, or he struggled with the girl after she was wounded. The last is contradicted by | | the young lady’'s own testimony, as well as by the fact that no blood was seen upon the hay, such as would have been the case had she remained many seconds after being shot. i Sheriff Wilson and District Attorney | Sexton came over to-day and remained | in Chico. An inquest will be held on the | remains at 10 o’clock to-morrow, but it not believed that any new evidence 1 be produced. —_— e WESTERN PACIFIC BUYS | THE TESLA RAILWAY | i New Deal Indicates That Proposed | Transcontinental Line Will Pass Through Stockton.

Yielding Shoots | Himself at the Door of Floren¢e Roberts’ Room PRBLSLT o WANTED TO BE AN ACTOR: Young Man Had Been Given a Trial in Some Minor Parts in the Company, but Failed LA R SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 10.—In a fit of despondency because he could not | secure an engagement with the Flor- ence Roberts theatrical company, now | playing in Spokane, George A. Yleld-! ing, an actor recently with the Paul | Gilmore company, stood before the door of the actress’ room at the Hotel | Spokane this afternoon and blew out his brains with a revolver. . He fell against the door, expiring instantly, while the actress went into a swoon. Yielding was formerly an engraver and is said to have a divorced wife in Rochester, N. Y. He followed the Roberts company for some time, ap- parently infatuated with the star, and was given some minor parts, but failed in them. Miss Roberts discharged him | and he joined the Gilmore show in Portland. | He appeared in Spokane to-day and was most importune in his pleading to be given another trial. He threatened to kill himself unless taken on again. A detective was assigned to watch him as it was feared he might do harm to the actress owing to his wroaght up| state of mind. This afternoon Yielding | | walked rapidly down the little hall leading to Miss Roberts’ room, while | the detective was standing in the par- lor near by, and committed his rash | deed before the officer could reach him. i Yielding was about 31 years of age! ! and was of a strangely morose disposi- | tion for an actor. ,He had been paying | considerable attention to Miss Roberts | whenever opportunity offered while a | member of the company, and it is said | he was discharged as much on account | of his unwelcome attentions as because | he was not a good actor. ‘, —_— e SHOWS A GREAT GAIN ' IN ASSETS AND SURPLUS | —_ | Statement of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Gives Evidence | of General Prosperity of Country. | NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—In the face of | | the general depression in financial cir- | cles and the shrinkage in industrial and other securities no better evidence of the general prosperity of the coun- try and the thrift of the people could be given than is contained in the re- cently published statement of the Met- ropolitan Life Insurance Company. This company shows a great gain in assets and, notwithstanding market de- pression, a handsome gain in surplus. It issued in 1903 $398,889,0 of new in- surance: a larger am nt than that jssued by any company in the world. It has done this for the last ten years. | It has 7,523,915 policies in force, which isa larger number than is held by all the cther regular life insurance companies in American put together less one; equivalent to pelicies on one-tenth of ithe total ‘populatien of ‘the Unites States; greater than the combined pop- ulation of twenty-nine States and Ter- ritcries, or, as the reports put it, great- er than the combined population of Greater New York, Chicago, Philadel- phia, Boston and St. Louis. When one realizes that an average of one out of every ten human beings--men, women and children—one passes on the street is insured in the Metropolitan Life the widespread beneficence «f this great | company can be appreciated. | The income of the Metropolitan Life 1in 1903 was $49,887,804 11, and it paid out to policy holders and added to its reserve fund $98, every business day of the past year. The company now holds assets of $105,636,311 60 for the benefit of its policy holders and a reserve fund ccnsisting of capital and surplus over and above every liability of $10,691,872. | The success of the Metropolitan has ! been so great that it recent an- ! nounced a special dividend, which will | amount to about $600,000 (in addition | to over four and a half millions paid | in the past seven years), for certain | classes of policy hciders who had con- tinued with the company, a dividend not nominated in the insurance con- tract, and which is a windfall to the policy holders. The growth of this j company, from 363,000,000 in 1883 to 1 $1,242,381.457 of insurance in force in | {1903, is one of the wonders of the in- | surance world. | & jago.

Besides cash, she has a home in this city and a ranch In Ven- tura County. The widow was told her brother-in-law was as good as his dead brother and would make her an ideal husband. She at once wrote to New York and asked him to come and marry her. He responded at once. Mrs. Grassi was not pleased with his looks and when she learned he had no money she refused to marry him. v Transit Company Incorporates With a Capital of $1,000,000.
