Sunday, April 22, 1906 Page 3 SACRAMENTO MAN KILLED BY TRAIN Failed To Turn Aside In Time And Is Hurled To Death, Companion Escaping By A Quick Jump WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), April 22 - Charles WHITNEY, of Sacramento, was killed near Swingle's Station last night, and J. PRIESTER, of Davisville, narrowly escaped a similar fate. WHITNEY and PRIESTER were in a buggy, the former driving. It is said he had been drinking. At any rate, he paid no attention to a warning of his companion that a train was approaching. PRIESTER jumped in the nick of time. The train struck the buggy, smashing it to splinters and killing WHITNEY and the horse. It happened that Clyde GRIFFIN was on the train and a witness to the accident. He took charge of WHITNEY's body and had it brought here, where it was turned over to Coroner KITTO. Claims Hogged by the First Comers VIRGINIA (Nev.), April 22 - Many persons are returning to this city from the scene of the sensational gold strikes in the Ramsay district. Hundreds of locations were made, but the best ground is said to have been taken by the Ramsey-Fletcher and the other combinations that got in early. The Ramsey-Fletcher crowd alone made 128 locations and three others took up nearly 200 claims. Prospectors who went in and could find no ground to locate are talking strongly about claim-hogging. The district is said to be good. The ore strongly resembles that in the Olinghouse district. Grew New Foot GARDNERVILLE (Nev.). April 22 - Several weeks ago a steer belonging to Edward TRIMMER, of Diamond Valley, lost its foot in a fence wire. It continued to walk about on the stump and finally a section of the bone came off, leaving a padded foot somewhat similar to that of a dog. The foot is not a hoof but is heavily padded and well rounded. The matter has attracted much attention and a number of students of science have gone out to look at the animal. Burns Prove Fatal RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), April 22 - Death has finally relieved the sufferings of Miss Minnie TIERNEY, who was burned last Tuesday while assisting her mother to burn brush at their home at the Bend.

Two Ranches Sold WINTERS (Yolo Co.), April 22 - Two important sales of real estate in this section took place last week. The CANNEDY ranch of 1400 acres has been purchased by Judge F.C. CLIFT and W.A. CANNEDY for $25,000, which is only at the rate of $17.50 an acre. The GOODYEAR ranch, formerly owned by the German Savings Society, has been sold to F.W. WILLIS. It contains 320 acres. Found Dead COLUSA (Colusa Co.), April 22 - The inquest held on the remains of the dead man found near the P.W. CLIPP ranch, on lower Grand Island, Thursday, failed to reveal his identity. No papers were found in his clothing. A verdict of death from natural causes was rendered. HUSBAND SOOTS WIFE'S FRIEND Only Shot To Injure, But Wound Is Likely To Prove Fatal - Woman Seems Indifferent RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), April 22 - Several days ago The Bee told of the trouble between Thomas LANGDON and his wife, due to the attentions paid to the woman by Charles BARLEY. LANGDON, it will be recalled, found his wife and BARLEY in a buggy last Monday and in a rage tore her hat from her head and rent it to ribbons. After that the trouble was renewed at the Sheriff's office. Then LANGDON went home and a day or two after his wife and BARLEY started for the place. Sometime Friday night, BARLEY was shot by LANGDON at the latter's home, twelve miles west of here, and it is thought he will die. LANGDON was arrested and is now in jail. He says he shot to wound and not to kill. The sympathy of the public appears to be with him. The woman appears indifferent to the whole affair. Made to Work MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), April 22 - Marysville's Fire Department Chief, her well-known policeman, C.J. McCOY, and Claude PHIPPS, a Yuba City editor, "took orders" in San Francisco yesterday and at the point of a bayonet removed a large pile of brick from one of the streets. In this work they were assisted by W.T. HENN, a well-known Oroville merchant, and S.E. WILCOXON and son, of Yuba City. The party had gone to San Francisco in search of relatives, and were riding to Golden Gate park in a wagon, when a soldier caused them to alight and go to work. There was an exhibition of passes, stars, and other passports, but to no avail. Not until the street was cleared of the brick were they permitted to continue their journey. House Was Moved BALLS FERRY (Shasta Co.), April 22 - Mrs. C.J. BALL, who recently moved from this place to San Jose, has written to friends here that her new home in San Jose was moved three feet by the earthquake, but she escaped all harm.

Will Lynch Indian CARSON (Nev.), April 22 - News comes to Carson that several ranchers in the valley below here are searching for a young Piute Indian that was caught while attempting to assault a 14-year-old white girl.

BAKER, aged 91 years, died at Etna yesterday, and to-day the remains passed through here en route for Iowa in charge of Mrs. BEARD, sister of deceased.

GIBBS died here on March 16, 1915, and was buried in the local cemetery. A nephew of the decedent, Fred MURRAY, arrived here today from Clearwater, Minn., to disinter the body and take it back to Minnesota for interment in the family plot. GIBBS left considerable property in this vicinity, including a valuable quarter section of timber land. After his death relatives in Minnesota directed Public Administrator LARKIN to take charge of the estate. They sent cash to pay all bills and expenses in connection with the administration.

Power Company Fails To Build Extension ARBUCKLE (Colusa Co.), March 9 - Farmers and residents living to the west and south of here along the proposed extension of the Northern California Power company's lines have taken up the matter of the failure of the company to build the lines with the railroad commission. Last summer the power company signed up sufficient power and light users to guarantee the line and promised immediate service. In a letter to Hart SHRADER, Jr., the commission incloses a letter from the power company stating that although they placed orders months ago they cannot get their material delivered. The completion of the lighting system for the town of Dunnigan is also being held up. Building Is More Active in Arbuckle ARBUCKLE (Colusa Co.), March 9 - Today C.R.

BROWN is now at work on the new residence of Edgar E. WIKER which is being built in the Balfour park addition. Pastor Loses Chico Church Membership CHICO (Butte Co.), March 9 - The name of Rev. A.A. HULL was stricken from the rolls of the Baptist Church by the board of directors of the church last night. The public has been led to believe that HULL was at one time assistant pastor of the church, but the present officers have failed to find any entry in the record books which would disclose this. One entry in the minute book made reference to HULL as acting pastor, and by a vote of the church this entry was stricken from the minutes as was his name from the membership roll. Gold Flat Ranchers Organize Farm Center GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), March 9 - Farm Center No. Five was organized at Gold Flat last night with F.C. LONGS as president, C.B. BOWERS as vice-president and Miss Marguerite MARTIN as secretary. There were present Garfield ROBSON of Penn Valley Center, Thomas CASEY, A. MARTEL and Mrs. M.B. CHURCH, also from Penn Valley, who assisted the locals with their organization. It was practically agreed at the meeting that the sixth farm center should be formed at Blue Tent, where there are sufficient farmers to organize a center.

Find Body of Grass Valley Man in Creek GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), March 9 - William COFFEY, a well-known young man of this city whose appetite for liquor has led him into the depths, was found dead this morning by a crowd of schoolboys who were passing along Colfax avenue on their way to school. The lads called the attention of several passersby to the body of a man laying face down in the creek, with several inches of snow covering his body. Coroner T.M. HARRIS was notified and within a short time removed the remains to his undertaking parlors. How COFFEY met his death will never be known, but it is the general belief that he was in a drunken condition and wandered into the stream without any knowledge of where he was going. He was recently in a cutting escapade that nearly finished him. Valuable Horse Is Stolen in Redding REDDING (Shasta Co.), March 9 - A horse thief is at work in Redding, as found by Mrs. William JUNKANS. Some time Wednesday night some one unlocked the stable door and took out a valuable riding animal, together with a saddle and bridle. The thief or thieves closed the door behind them. It was not known that the horse was stolen until yesterday morning, when the stall was found empty. Sheriff ROSS and the police are at work on the case. They have sent out a good description of the horse in all directions. Youth 20 Years Old Confesses Robbery to Sheriff of Yuba County MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), March 9 - Earl CAMERON, aged 20 years, was arrested today by Sheriff C.J. McCOY and confessed to robbing the stores of the Sacramento River Supply company and I.S. LOSEY at Meridian Wednesday night. CAMERON was arrested on D street by Sheriff McCOY on a meager description furnished by Sutter county officers. He confessed outright to the robberies and took the sheriff to his room in a Japanese lodging house where he had articles valued at $150, which he stole from the two stores. CAMERON told the sheriff he committed the robberies because he was broke and needed money badly. He was turned over to Sheriff NOYES of Sutter county this afternoon. Chico Vecino Water System Is Purchased By Buying McFeely Plant Steffens Consolidates Two Systems CHICO (Butte Co.), March 9 - By a deal concluded yesterday, in which he purchased the water system operated by J. J. McFEELY in Chico Vecino, B. H. STEFFEN of the Chico Vecino Water company became the sole owner of the entire water supply of Chico Vecino. The agreement was drawn yesterday by DAVIDS and NEVILLE, and immediately signed by the principals. STEFFEN has been supplying the residents on the east side of the Esplanade with water, and McFEELY those on the west. Some time ago it was deemed advisable to consolidate the two systems and the upshot of the transaction was that STEFFEN purchased McFEELY's plant outright. STEFFEN will immediately begin on the erection of an 80-foot tower supporting a 25,000 gallon tank. Contracts for the construction and material were let within a few minutes after papers of the sale were signed. In addition, STEFFEN will put in extra pumping equipment and other improvements in order to bring his system completely up to date. McFEELY was a pioneer in the water supply business in Chico Vecino, starting some 12 years ago. Five years ago STEFFEN put in a plant on the east side. The installation of this system aided largely in the development of that section of the community. Chico Man Is Member Of Aviation Corps CHICO (Butte Co.), March 9 - Edgar SCARBOROUGH, son of Mrs. J.W.

Daniel BARTON, reported in our telegram as wounded, is a laborer, and George MILLER, a colored barber. Captain WARNER, of the steamer Petaluma, immediately after the accident, decided to come down on his boat to the city, but remained behind, affording every attention in his power to the unfortunate victims of this calamity. YEOMANS' injuries are terribly severe, but he will probably recover. He is a pioneer resident of this State, and known as an attache of many steamers, in early days, on the Sacramento river. CHILD BITTEN BY A VICIOUS DOG - On Monday, August 27th, a savage dog belonging to John MORRISH, severely bit a child of Michael CARVIS, at Gold Flat, Nevada county. The child was knocked down and severely bitten on the leg and face. It was with difficulty that the child was rescued. LIME - Lime rock, apparently inexhaustible, has been discovered on the Hot Spring Ranch, Alpine county. The rock is at the springs, and is almost pure lime, requiring but slight burning. As this ranch is only about three miles from Markleeville, Silver Mountain and Carson and Hope Valleys can be supplied at reasonable rates. COMMISSIONER TO THE PARIS EXHIBITION - W.M. RYERS, M.D., has been appointed a Commissioner to represent the San Joaquin Valley District Agricultural Society at the World's Fair, to be held in Paris in the year 1867. AMERICAN MEDICAL BIOGRAPHY - The following notice, taken from one of our Eastern exchanges, will doubtless prove of interest to those who have deceased medical friends in California. The request to publish the same is extended to other public journals: Dr. J.M. TONER, of Washington (D.C.), is engaged in compiling and writing a biographical dictionary of all deceased American physicians of whom he can collect data on a sufficiently accurate character to enable him to give a brief sketch of their lives and labors. Physicians and others who have deceased relatives of friends who studied and practiced medicine in any part of the United States, and will take the pains to furnish the doctor with definite facts, comprising the full name of the individual, with his birthplace, date of birth, and death, his preliminary education, medical studies, place of graduation, location, success in any particular branch of practice, and whether filling any and what public stations during life, and if an author, the exact title of his publications, and where and by whom published, will, besides conferring a favor on Dr. TONER, serve the cause of medical literature of a very attractive and useful kind. It is expected the collection will reach ! about ten thousand names. AMPUTATION - About one o'clock yesterday, says the Stockton Independent of August 29th, METZGAR, who recently got badly wounded by the bursting of the burr in Humphrey's barley mill, had his leg amputated above the knee. Mortification commenced on Monday, about midnight, and therefore the amputation of the limb was the only means of saving the unfortunate man's life. In a short time, and with but little loss of blood, the surgeons successfully accomplished the work. The life of the patient, however, is still in great danger. The operation was performed at the County Hospital. FIRE IN MARYSVILLE - A fire broke out on the night of August 28th at Marysville, destroying a two-story wooden building, occupied at an early day by Dr. WATTS as a drug store, and owned by E. KATZENSTEIN, and also a small wooden building occupied by a Mexican woman. SUMMIT CITY (Nev.), ITEMS - A correspondent of the Carson Appeal, under date of August 24th, writes as follows: This afternoon, about three o'clock, an accident occurred on SMITH & PERKINS' new building, which PIXLEY & GRANT, of Carson, were superintending. They were erecting the rafters and roof, when the whole thing (forty-one rafters) gave way, with eight men on them at the time. All came down with a crash. PURDY had his right leg broken and shoulder dislocated, and was otherwise hurt so that it is thought he will not recover. Another workman was very badly hurt, but no bones broken. GRANT was banged and bruised up considerably, although no bones were broken. Quite an excitement prevails here in regard to the discovery of a rich quartz lode about eighteen miles from here, near Eureka, by C.A. BRAGG, Dr. SANDERSON and W.A. HAWTHORNE, all from Carson City. They have just returned from a prospecting trip and brought in some ore from their newly-discovered claims, which is very rich, and they have a ledge five feet wide, all of the same kind of ore. ROW AT ALTA - The Nevada Transcript of August 29th has the following: A man named Jim SAXTON went into the town of Alta on Monday last and cleaned the town. SAXTON got into a fight, when an officer attempted to arrest him, but got roughly handled. Outsiders came to the assistance of the officer, when a general fight ensued. SAXTON was unarmed and several shots were fired at him. He is a powerful man and knocked his opponents right and left. At one time they had him nearly handcuffed, but he got away and took to the woods. Here his friends supplied him with two revolvers, and he defied the officers to come and take him.
