According to the estimates of railroad men, fully 100,000 visitors have so far arrived, and dozens of trains running in two and three sec- tions, are still on the way. It is difficult to mention anything that could be done for the comfort of the visitors which has not already been provided. Numerous benches have been placed along both sides of all the downtown streets. They are rough affairs, fashioned crudely out of unplaned boards, but they afford|posed to the erection of a statue | A meeting of the executive commit- tee of the Grand Army was held to- day to determine matters of routine relative to the business meeting of the encampment. It is expected that considerable debate will result over the recent law passed by Congress driv- ing the canteen out of the old soldiers’ homes. Commander in Chief Tanner is in favor of passing a resolution depre- cating the purpose of this law, but a strong element in the organization is against such action. Another featdre that may crop up is the old fight over the proposed erec- tion by the women of the South of a statue of Henry Wirz, notorious for his atrocities while In command at An- dersonville prison. This matter came up in 1901, and has been more or less alive ever since. All members of the Grand Army are vehemently op- of a resting place for tens of thousands | Wirz who was hanged for his crimes, of weary pedestrians. No feature of bt mary of them declare that, in the encampment has been so product-| their opinion, the intention to erect fve of comfort and satisfaction. The eity itself is beautifully deco- rated. Flags, bunting and banners may be observed on all sides. The contest for national commander is growing warmer. The friends of Captain P. H. Coney of Kansas are making what is outwardly the most aggressive campaign, and claim to be fairly confident of the election of their man. Other candldates whose names are mentioned are R. B. Brown of | | | Zanesville, Ohlo, and Charles G. Bur-| fon of Missouri. There is no great ‘contest for any of the minor offices. a statue is not serious, and . as the matter now stands not worth the con- sideration which some are disposed to glve it The social features of the encamp- ment, which are numbered by the hun- dred, commenced today with Tregi- mental reunions and a reception given by Governor Johnson.

FIGHTS A RATTLER IN THE WATER. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 13.—D. Courtney, a young man well known in this city, had a hair-raising experience with a gigantic rattlesnakeé on the Lit- tle Mojave River headwaters last week. Courtney went to the mountains on a hunting and fishing trip. In leaping from the top of one big boulder to an- other he landed squarely on the big rattler, which was basking in the sun- shine. As quick as lightning and be- fore Courtney could make a move the snake whipped its head around and buried its fangs in the toe of Couft- ney's shoe. Courtney decided that there was not reom on top of the boulder for him and the snake both, and he leaped into a big pool, dragging the snake, whose fangs were fastened in the leather, after him. The water came up to Court- ney's chin, and he could feel the snake wrapping and colling and thres.ing about his legs. He was dancing a merry Jjig while confronted with the addition- al danger of going over his head in the pool. Finally the snake unhooked its fangs, and coming to the surface started for one side of the stream, and Courtney lost no time in swimming in the oppo- site direction. Once on land he gath- ered up an armful of rocks and went for the snake, which was making its way to cover. The reptile was killed, and Courtney has the rattles to remind him of his narrow escape. \ . —_—————— BELLE JILTS BOER WAR HERO .

Mrs. Arillia Schtck,} widow of the murdered man. She is| under arrest as an accomplige in the| crime. | Until the moment of her appearance it was not known positively that she! would be called, but the court room of Departmeént 1 was jammed with spec- tators—a majority of them women— before the opening of the morning ses- | sion. The crowd was so dense that the | lobbies had to be eleared to let the re-| lays of stenographers through. Mrs. Scheck made an unqualified con- | fession of her own gullt as an accom- plice and a seemingly straightforward denunciation of Stackpole, her former intimate, as the murderer of her hus- | band. Mrs. Scheck testified at length and | |in detail to the proposals for the kill-| |ing of her husband, made to her by Stackpole and as to how he and she; | discussed different means of putting | him out of the way. When this should | be accomplished, she would collect the | $500 insurance on her husband’'s life | and marry his slayer. | After gonfessing her illicit relations with Stackpole and deseribing the final | plans for the murder, Mrs. Scheck tes- tified as follows: My husband and I went to bed to- gethier about 11 o'clock that night. June 3 last. About 1:30 in the morning Mr. Stackpole's step outside the house wak- | ened me got up and opened the | kitchen door for him. He came in. He | wore a big black mask over his face. | | I turned and stood a little distance | | from the bed and put my hands up over | my face. 1 heard the click of the re- volver. Then I héard my husband raise | |up in bed and say, “Why, what's the matter?” Then I heard the two re- | |ports. "I went over to the bed and | saild to my husband, “Honey, for God's sake say somethin But he did not say anything. All I heard was the run- ng of the blood and that awful gurgle lin my ears. Then I rushed out and | told the neighbors that two burglars had shot Joel. as Mr. Stackpole had | | made me promise to do. The cross-examination of Mrs. Scheck | will be begun by the defense tomor-| row morning. As there was no other eye witness to| | the killing, and as the law provides | that a person cannot be convicted upon the uncorroborated testimony of an ac- complice, the burden rests ugon the prosecution to adduce testimony other than Mrs. Scheck's tending to connect Stackpole with the commission of the| crime. The District Attorney's olmel‘ | states that there is in reserve an abuhd- | ance of testimeny of this sort. | S O ey | NEW WATER S$UPPLY FOR SAN DIEGO IS TURNED ON Public Officials and Large Concourse of Cltize: Are Witnesses of the Important Even SAN DIEGO, Aug. 13.—In the pres- ence of members of the City Councll, the Board of Public Works and heads | of other departments, as well as a large concourse of citizens ahd representa- tives of the Southern California Moun- tain Water Company, the new sipply | of water for the ¢ity was turned iInto | |the distributing system this morning | by Mayor Sehon.

Yesterday the fair young athlete was married to Dunbar in Stoekton, an attempt to keep the mar- | riage a secret failed and the couple hastened back to San Francisco a bit disappointed over the alscovery of their matrimonial venture. It was Miss Genevieve Dowsett who | declared after Young Gray had asked her to excuse him from marrying her “that the next one she loved wouid be a man and not a cad.” Seemingly she in Dunbar. Early this summer Miss Dowsett was enjoying: a vacation in Mendoeino County, whither Al Coogan and Pren- tiss Gray also had gone for a little One day Coogan was taken with eramps while In bathing In the Russian River and the big football player went to his rescue. Suddenly it was noticed that both men were in a fair way to drown and the excitement along the river banks was at its height when Miss Dowsett, who I8 known as an expert swimmer, saved the pair. It was not long after this incident that the engazement ‘of Miss Dowsett and Gray was announced, but the pleas- ing news had hardly reached the friends of the young woman béfore they were shocked by the expressed de- sire of Gray to be absolved from his obligation to Miss Dowsett. Then it | was that she was quoted as saying that “the next male she loved would be a man and not a cad.” Fate had willed that this young woman ‘should not long wait fer a Wwooer, After she had returncd to her abode at Belvedere it was ~ommon talk on the island that young Dunbar was showing her considerable attention. He is the son of one of San San Francisco's prominent physiciahs and a former member of the student obody of the | State University. Dunbar and Mi Dowsett had en- joyed an acquaintance dating back be- fore her affalr with Gray, when she was his guest an frequent yachting trips about the oay. Wis devotion to Miss Dowsett then was a matter that did not fail to proveke corument among the friends of the counle, and that he should later prove himself worthy of the young woman's serious attsation surprises none of his acquaintan who are agreed that he is all that his bride could expect—“a man and not & cad.” ———— LEAVES FOR PARTS UNKNOWN WITH HIS BABY DAUGHTER Object Believed to Be Divoreed Wife Ob- talning Comntrol of Child.
