MARRIED ABR( RL OF ROSSLYN IRINKING BOT Wealthy Farmer’s Son Slain by Stranger He Had Been Spending the Night With RN, Special Dispaich to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, March 21.— Sterling Roberts, whose father is a prosperous rancher in the Yucaipe Valley, this county, was instantly | killed last night by J. W. Pate in a duel on the old Poppett ranch, about twelve miles from Banning. Pate is a stranger in this country, having come here but a few weeks ago from Ba- kersfield. A man named Johnson was | the only witness to the shooting. The men had been drinking all night and when a quarrel was begun both reached for their weapons. Roberts got a Winchester rifle and Pate pro- duced a revolver. They faced each other in the moonlight, just outside the house in which they had been hav- ing a drinking bout. Before Roberts could raise the rifle Pate fired five shots, putting one bullet through his antagonist’s body. Roberts dropped upon the rifle he did not have a chance to use. Pate surrendered to the officers and is awalting at Banning the result of the inquest, which is to be held to- morrow. Roberts had many friends in this eity. CHEERING NEWS FOR NAVY VARD Ex-Congressman Bell Says Work on New Collier Will % Be Commenced at Once PO R VALLEJO, March 21.—Ex-Congress- man Theodore Bell, who is Vallejo as the guest of F. R. Devlin held an informal reception at the Elks' Club last evening. He received a cor- dial welcome from Vallejoites and was thanked for his efforts on behalf of Mare Island in the last Congress. Bell does not think the work on the new collier will be delayed by the fail- ure of the conference committee to al- low an additional $200,000 to defray the cost of certain changes in the plans of the vessel. the Bureau of Construction and Re- pair, Constructor Capps, informed him just before he left Washington that com- work on the collier would be menced at once. Bell has resumed the practice of law and will defend Cooper, the mess at- tendant on the cruiser Boston, who is charged with the murder of a ship- mate. ———e—— RESIDENT OF MILPITAS FOUND DEAD IN BED SAN JOSE, March 21.—Manuel Rodgers, an old resident of Milpitas, was found dead in his bed this morn- ing.

Kennedy, Alias “Yel-|Don Male Sent_to Folsom for Years for Burglary HIS CRIME 45 CONFESSES Felon Accused of Killing Officer Robinson in This City Heavily Epecial Dispatch to The Call. | nedy, alias “Yellow,” who after a sen- sational fight in the courts of San Francisco escaped punishment for his share in the murder of Policeman Rob- | inson, did not fare so well in the courts of Yolo County. He wag to-day sen- tenced to serve forty-five years in Fol- som for robbing a number of stores in the town of Dunnigan in this county last January. He left the courtroom smiling, for he had, in view of the fact that he had pleaded guilty and admitted a prior conviction in Iowa, ! expected the limit of the law, a life sentence. Kennedy’'s three companions in the Dunnigan crime all pleaded guilty and received heavy sentences. When his case was called to-day Kennedy re- fused to avail himself of the usual privileges allowed defendants. He would not take the stand in his own behalf or allow his attorney to offer any evidence in the case, evidently feeling certain that an effort to contra- dict the testimony of the prosecution | would serve him but little. In fact, it | was at his suggestion that the case was submitted to the jury without ar- gument. The jury took but one ballot, returning a verdict of burglary in the first degree after only a few minutes’ deliberation. When the verdict was announced Kennedy walved time and asked for sentence immediately. He got it—for- ty-five years-in Folsom. The case is one of the shortest criminal cases on record. It occupied but half a day. Kennedy’s share of the Dunnigan booty amounted to $19 50 and a dozen pocket knives. The knives, which were | buried near Woodland by ‘“Yellow,” were found by a lineman in the em- ploy of the telephone company. e TO PLEAD FOR HIS SON. Father of Alan Goucher Will Make Last Appeal to Jury. Two lawyers pleaded to save the neck of Alan (alias “Kid”) Goucher in Judge Cook’s court yesterday. One, T. Crowley, took the testimony of the prosecution as given by each witness and did his best to tear the fabric to pieces. The other, Reese Clark, after | verbose denunciations, of everybody connected with the prosecution, plead- ed in a lachrymose fashion for mercy, referring frequently to the scriptures. At the conclusion he painted a tear- ful picture of Mrs. Goucher witnessing the hanging of her wayward son. “Re- member,” he said, “every punishment you put on this boy will be a scar on his mother’s soul.” Clark began at 2 and talked without ;a break until nearly 5. Several times he announced that he was about to conclude, but often when he verged on the edge of a peroration, causing the jury's spirits to rise, he seemed to change his mind and broke into fresh denuaciation. “‘Senator” Goucher, father of the defendant. will make the final plea for his son's life this morning. Then Dis- trict Attorney Byington will close for the prosecution. The case will prob- ably go to the jury this evening. —_————————— S OF VALLEJO PLAN BIG CELEBRATION CITIZ Residents of Navy Yard Town Will Fittingly Observe the Birth- day of the Nation, VALLEJO, March 21.—The business men of this city are planning to cele- brate the Fourth of July this year in a manner that will attract big crowds from every portion of this section of California.

No men or representatives of the press were per- mitted to enter the hall and every ‘ef- fort at privacy was made, but the lo- cal hits and specialties of the winsome voung performers were so clever that the details of the performanee became the subject of general discussion to- day. S ')he Natlve Daughters took the names of well-known Native Sons, and the jokes each was made to suffer were comical in the extreme. The : young women, who comprise many of the prettiest girls in Sacramento, were attired in men’s full evening dress, tuxedo coats, expansive shirt fronts, trousers and all. Four particularly . dainty maidens, so arrayed, acted as | ushers, but the hall was not large enough to accommodate the women who flocked thither. The most dignified citizens of the town were made the target of jibes so caustic that many of them never would | have been uttered in a mixed audience, but the members of Califia Parlor deemed themselves safe in a house | made up entirely of their own sex.

TACOMA, March 21.—The death of Thomas Thurnbow to-day at Garfield closes another chapter in one of the tragedlies for which Whitman County is famous. One Sunday morning in August, 1903, G. E.

As the messenger from the heavens siruck the street, not over three feet from the policeman, it was broken into many pleces. A fragment somewhat larger than the others fell into a pool, where it spluttered - for some time. Enough pleces of the meteorite were gathered to show that it weighed about a pound when it reached the earth. This afternoon a fragment weighing seven and a half pennyweights was taken to a well-known assayer and subjected to various tests. Analysis showed the meteorite to be crystallized ite quartz. Part of the surface is athered” by intense heat. This “feathering” perforates the quartz so finely as to make it resemble pumice stone. —_————— WORKMEN SAVE FOREMAN FROM HORRIBLE DEATH REDLANDS, March 2I'—A.
