Cut off in the prime of life, and the midst of usefulness, the loss of Mr. JOHN is a heavy blow to the community, but the loss falls with peculiar severity upon his afflicted family, to whom he was much attached. Mr. JOHN was not one of those who formed rapid and extended acquaintances, but to whom every one who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, was strongly attached. The united verdict of all who knew him, constitutes one of the highest tributes which can be paid to the memory of a departed friend – “he was an upright honest man.” He had but just come here at the time of his injuries, to assume the duties of his office, and was preparing to bring his family hither to take up their residence among us. They have since followed him, but alas! , in sorrow and affliction, to a desolated home. At the time of his death, Mr. JOHN was about 38 years of age. He leaves a wife and four small children to mourn his untimely end, and with whom all our citizens deeply sympathize. NOTARIES PUBLIC. – Heman A. SCOFIELD, Esq., and E.G. HEIGHT, have been appointed, and received their commissions as Notaries for the County of San Mateo. GRAND JURY REPORT The Grand Jury convened for the November Term of the Court of Sessions, beg respectfully to report that they have found true Bills. 2 for murder, 1 for assault with intent to murder, 1 for robbery, 1 for fraudulent and malicious mischief. That they have examined into the official bonds of the several officers and find them satisfactory. Also, that they have examined into the condition of the county jail, and the circumstances attending the late escape therefrom, and considering all the testimony before them, cannot attach any blame to the Sheriff or his Under Sheriff. All of which is respectfully submitted CURTIS BAIRD, Foreman COUNTY COURT. – The following business was done in this court at its late Session. The People vs LANGAN et al. Def’ts convicted in court below of malicious mischief, and judgment here affirmed. STEWART vs EASTON. This was an action under the statue, against Def’t for receiving illegal fees as County Surveyor. Plaintiff had judgment below, but on appeal, Def’t proved an express contract, by which he was to have an extra price, if he would procure some competent assistant and do the work immediately, which he did; also that several of the chainmen and other assistants, were employed by him, which the charge within the legal fees. Upon clearly proving these facts, Pl’ffs counsel abandoned the case, and Def’t had Judgment. MIRAMONTEZ vs PARSHALL et. Al – review. The prayer of the petitioner was denied, and petition dismissed. UNDERWOOD vs WARD, by leave of Court, case place on the calendar by Respondent, and appeal dismissed. COURT OF SESSIONS. – This Court dragged “its slow length along” until Wednesday morning last, but really without accomplishing anything beyond the filing of four important Indictments, none of which have yet been disposed of. On Saturday morning last the Grand Jury came into court, and submitted five indictments, and their final report, which will be found in another column. On Monday L. WHITTINGHAM was indictment for misdemeanor, and the case set for the following day. But lo, when the case came up for trial, the prosecuting witness failed to appear, and after waiting two hours, a verdict of acquittal was rendered for want of evidence. The prosecuting witness was then cited to appear and show cause why he should not be fined for contempt. On Wednesday, the court having heard his excuse, and not deeming it sufficient, fined him $75. On Monday, B.F. STEVENS was arraigned on an indictment for assault with intent to commit murder, and the case set for Wednesday, but when Wednesday came, the defence were not ready, and upon Def’ts motion the case was continued for the term. The court then adjourned for the term. PAID. – Ex-Sheriff HOVIOUS has paid over to T.W. LATHROP Esq. the reward of fifty dollars for the arrest of MOONEY. Mr. L. arrest MOONEY at the American Exchange in San Francisco and placed him in the station house for safe keeping. Afterwards, a policeman, in violation of instructions, brought him out here, and claimed the reward. It was this claim which occasioned the delay. A FINE STEAMER The usual quiet of our city was somewhat startled on Wednesday Evening, by the shrill whistle of a steam engine on the Bay approaching the city. Upon further inquiry, we found it to be the Steamer ANNA, commanded by Captain TRUEWORTHY, just arrived and coming into port, having in tow, a very large and fine Barge for the purpose of taking on a cargo of posts, destined for different points on the Sacramento River. The Barge drew up at the Railroad Wharf of Mr. J.W. ACKERSON, for the purpose of loading, and we are informed that she will take with her on this trip about seventeen thousand posts, besides other freight. NEW GOODS. – Dropping into our friend J.V. DILLERS store the other day, we were not a little surprised to see the change in the appearance of his shelves and counters. The mammoth store seemed literally crammed with the new stock – and more coming. DILLERS assortment is more extensive than ever, and in prices he can successfully compete with the retailers of San Francisco. SUPPOSED MURDER. – Henry CROZIER of Santa Clara left his home some three weeks ago to visit San Jose, and has not since been heard of. He was known to have $150 on his person at the time, and is supposed to have been foully dealt with by some unknown persons while passing the Almeda. He was 22 years of age and about 5 feet high. – Mercury. Mr. N.C. ADAMS, driver on the Watsonville stage, stepped from his box, last Friday morning, to assist a lady to alight, handing the reins to a gentleman by his side, when, from some cause, the horses commenced to turn short around. Mr. Adams attempted to regain his seat, when the stage upset dislocating his shoulder and injuring him otherwise. – San Jose Mercury STATE NEWS MILITARY COMMISSIONS – The UNION says that military commissions have been issued to the following persons: Samnel Claudis ELLIS, Assistant Adjutant General with rank of Major, Second Brigade, Second Division, staff of General DOANE; John HILL, Brigade Inspector, with rank of Major, Second Brigade, Second Division, staff of Gen.

TUPPER, Captain Company F, Fourth Infantry California Volunteers, Charles Stuart BROOKS, Company H, Fourth Infantry California Volunteers; Isaac B. HALL, Second Lieutenant Company H, Fourth Infantry California Volunteers. BURNED TO DEATH. – On the night of November 9th, William VANNEST, brother to S.D. VANNEST, who keeps a store on Butte creek, four miles from Chico, was fatally burned by the ignition of camphene while filling a lamp, the wick of which was burning. The sufferer died next morning. The UNION says that a shocking murder was perpetrated near Fort Churchill, 11th inst. Wm. GOSHART killed one McMULLET with a knife. The murder was arrested, and narrowly escaped lynching. He was finally taken to Carson. A few days ago, at Fairplay, El Dorado Co., the cabin of one “French Pete,” a gardener, was consumed by fire. When the flames were discovered several gentlemen hastened to the spot, but arrived too late to save the life of the poor Frenchman who was in bed in the cabin. The door being opened his body lifeless, and partially consumed by the devouring flames, was the first sight that met their horrified gaze. The bones, only, were rescued. The old man was of intemperate habits. BRODERICK MONUMENT. – The Broderick Monument is to be commenced forthwith, although the sum at the disposal of the Committee is not so large as might be desired. Dissolution of Partnership The partnership heretofore existing between Messrs. James McGOVERN, John TAYLOR, and William BEASEMORE, in the Ranching Business, carried on under the name and style of MCGOVERN TAYLOR and BEASEMORE, is this day dissolved by mutual consent. The business will be carried on as heretofore by James McGOVERN & Co., who are authorized to attend to all unsettled business of the firm. JAS. McGOVERN John TAYLOR Wm. BEASEMORE Redwood City, Nov. 9th, 1861 Sheriff Sale By virtue of an execution issued out of the District Court, of the Twelfth Judicial District, in and for the County of San Mateo, against David MAHONEY, and in favor of van WEINKLE, et als., duly tested on the 9th day of November, A.D. 1861, and to me directed and delivered, by which, I am commanded to make the sum of one hundred and seven 25-100 dollars, together with accruing costs.

Aged about 40 years. BIRTH Near Redwood City, November 5th, the wife of Mr. CURTIS BAIRD, of a son. DEAD. – James SMITH, whose misfortune we noticed some time since, died on Thursday morning. A post mortem examination was made by Dr. COOPER in the presence of the Coroner, and of the attending physicians, Drs. McCLURE and ANGLE. An inquest was also held on Thursday evening, the result of which we have not learned. SERIOUS INJURY. – On Wednesday last, Alexander BAILEY, Esq., of Purissima, was seriously if not fatally injured by being run into by another party and thrown from his buggy. His lower jaw is broken, so also one of his ribs, and it is feared that he has received internal injuries which will prove fatal. As the matter is undergoing legal investigation, we refrain from further comment upon the circumstances. COURT OF SESSIONS. – This Court convened for the November Term, on Wednesday last, Judge TEMPLETON presiding. Justices GREER and DURHAM Associates. On account of sickness in his family, Justice WHITTINGHAM, who was elected Associate, did not take his seat, and the County Judge appointed Justice DURHAM in his stead. A Grand Jury was empanelled, with Curtis BAIRD, Esq., as foreman, and immediately, entered upon the discharge of their duties. At the hour of writing they had not concluded their labors, or made any report. The probability was that they would make their final report last evening or this morning. Upon calling the trial Jury, they were discharged until Friday morning, and on the opening of Court on Friday, they were discharged for the tern, the District Attorney announcing that there would be but very little if any business to come before the Court this term, and it being deemed advisable in case there should be any, to call a special jury, rather than detain the present one. ESCAPED AGAIN. – MOONEY, the ubiquitous, although most heavily ironed, since his return, again effected his escape on Monday last, while the Sheriff was at supper. He seems an old hand at escaping and we are strangely of opinion, that on both occasions he has been assisted by accomplices from without. He carried off a good pair of shackles, but undoubtedly got rid of them before traveling far. He escaped as before, through the back door, but how is a mystery, as it is known positively, that but a few minutes before, the door was double locked, and no possibility of any person getting at any of the keys belonging to the jail. He and his cell had also been searched regularly and thoroughly, every two or three days during his confinement, so that the means of escape must have been furnished him but a short time before they were used. GATEWOOD, a fellow prisoner, was in his cell at the time, and did not learn of the flight for some five minutes or more, but as soon as he did discover it, gave the alarm, and sent a boy for the Sheriff. Sheriff BOWMAN at once offered one hundred dollars reward for his apprehension, and strenuous efforts are being made for his discovery. NEW GOODS. – By reference to advertisement, in another column it will be seen that S.L STONE, has replenished his stock of goods, and in view of the approaching holydays, has supplied himself with a variety of articles in his line of business, suitable for making holyday presents, which he offers to his customers at very reasonable prices. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

MURDER IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY. – Two men named DONOHUE and McNAMARA had a difficulty at Sebastopol, in Sacramento county, resulting finally in the death of the former. McNAMARA accosted DONOHUE, saying that he could whip him. DONAHUE replied that he had no license for saying so; when they stripped and fought, DONAHUE whipping him. They then shook hands and parted, apparently good friends. In a short time afterwards, McNAMARA accompanied by some half a dozen friends, returned, jumped upon DONOHUE and shot him, the ball passing through his imperial and upward into the brain, causing death in a few minutes. McNAMARA and his companions were arrested immediately and await examination. – Sacramento News. BOOKS – We call attention to the card of A. ROMAN & Co. in another column. A classified catalogue of the books for sale at this house, with prices annexed, may be seen at our office. Some idea may be formed of their extensive assortment from an examination of this catalogue, which is a closely printed work of two hundred and sixty pages. Having already traded considerably with ROMAN, we can assure our readers, that any book he may send them will be as perfect as if they had selected it personally, or if not, he will make it so. The S.F. Herald has the following in relation to the murder of Geo. GORDON a mulatto, at San Francisco, on the 29th inst. It was charged by the wife and sister-in-law of GORDON, who keeps an extensive millinery establishment on the corner of Minna and Second streets, that SCHELL came to their place on Monday afternoon, and while they were in the working room back of the salesroom, leaned over the counter and took $11 from the drawer. They (as they assert) pursued him, and called for a policeman, but SCHELL made his escape at the time. The same evening GORDON and his wife met SCHELL in the street and charged him with the theft, which he denied. As this part of the subject has not been investigated SCHELL’s guilt of the larceny may be doubled. He informed some friends of the accusation which had been made against him, and it is probable that they advised him to take the course which he afterwards did. Yesterday morning, about 11 o’clock, he went to GORDON’s barber shop, (it appears that he had previously lurked around his house for an hour or two.) and said to him; “George that affa! ir last night, was not correct.” Some further words passed between them, when SCHELL struck GORDON Over the head with his cane, breaking the cane. They then clinched, when Ralph DORR, who with E.A. WILLETT had accompanied SCHNELL to the shop, attempted to separate them. He was unsuccessful, but the employees of the shop succeeded. As soon as they were separated SCHELL drew a Derringer pistol, which he had borrowed from Levi SOLOMON, and fired, the ball passing through GORDON’s breast. GORDON ran to the street, where he fell, and SCHELL followed and beat him over the head with the pistol. He was soon after arrested. FOR LOS ANGELES. – Lady Franklin and her niece Collector RANKIN and wife, Commodore WATKINS and wife, and William R. GARRISON, Esq., left San Francisco for Los Angeles on the steamer Golden Gate, which sailed on the 1st of this month where they will pass a brief sojourn among the hospitable inhabitants of the Eden of our State.

OWEN & COTTLE, the proprietors of this new enterprise in san Jose, have announced that they will publish the first number of the daily, on the 5th of November ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Wednesday, June 20, 1906 Page 7 TWO BULLETS IN HIS HEAD Dead Body of Missing P.O. Westman Found This Morning, He Having Ended His Own Life RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), June 20 - About 10:30 this morning, at a point two miles below this city, the dead body of P.O. WESTMAN was found, with two bullet wounds in his head, he having ended his own life. WESTMAN disappeared Monday morning. At first nothing was thought of his absence, but as it continued without word of any kind from him, his friends became alarmed, and yesterday began to look for him, with the result that his dead body was found this morning. WESTMAN leaves a wife and mother-in-law here, the latter having furnished the money with which he embarked in the saloon business on Main Street. She holds a chattel mortgage on the place. Monday he went from his home to the saloon, and then walked out, that being the last seen of him alive, except the report of an acquaintance, who saw him on the Corning Road. WESTMAN was a prominent member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the local Lodge was much interested in ascertaining the whereabouts of the missing member. He was said to have been very happy in his domestic arrangements and was a man with no bad habits, spending his leisure hours at home. He had been suffering from despondence of late on account of his poor business prospects and had been troubled with insomnia. No New Evidence MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 20 - The case of The People vs. John HOLLAND, charged with the murder of Josie ST. CLAIR in the tenderloin district on April 24th, is on trial in the Superior Court, Judge E.P. McDANIEL presiding. The following jury has been accepted by both sides: J.H. SCHULTZ, Thomas GORMAN, A.E. FITTS, Frank GRASS, D.C. CUDDEBACK, D.Z. LOOK, M.V. HENDRICKS, Ed WILLIAMS, N. WEBER, H.D.W. WULFF, R. POZZI and Cornelius SLATTERY. To secure the twelve men it was necessary to subpoena a special venire, the original having been exhausted. Thus far the evidence introduced covers the same ground as was detailed in The Bee at the time of the crime. Cowart-Swartout WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), June 20 - A wedding of popular interest was solemnized here yesterday morning when G.C. COWART, a prominent young business man, and Miss Mary Emily SWARTOUT were joined for life by Rev. A.M. RUSSELL, of the Grimes Baptist Church. The ceremony was performed at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. I.S. JENKS, in the presence of the relatives of the bride and groom and a few intimate friends. The newly married couple departed for the South on their bridal tour. Lake City Man Dies NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 20 - William D. BLACK, for forty years a resident of Lake City, died here late yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Randolph CARTER. He was brought here a month ago for medical treatment, but despite every attention he continues to sink. He had been in business at Lake City for many years. Deceased was a native of Missouri, and 63 years. Funeral arrangements will be made to-day. Death of Mrs. E.J. Atkinson; Pioneer ROSEVILLE (Placer Co.), June 20 - Mrs. E.J. ATKINSON, one of the oldest and most highly-esteemed residents of Placer County died here yesterday afternoon of paralysis, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R.E.L. LEAVELL. She was stricken about a year ago, and while she has appeared to improve at times, the state of her health has been very feeble for many months. Mrs. ATKINSON was a pioneer woman, she having come to California in 1852 by way of the Isthmus of Panama, landing at San Francisco in September of that year. She was born in Canada, December 23, 1830, but was brought to the United States when a child, and settled in Illinois, coming from that State to California, she being at the time a widow. In 1854 she was married to George HILL, at Sacramento, from which union six children were born. She was again left a widow in 1861, and some years latter married a man by the name of ATKINSON, whose name she bore at the time of her death. She possessed rare executive ability and accumulated a large fortune, at the time of her death being one of the three largest individual taxpayers in the county. Four children survive her, they being Mrs. R.E.L. LEAVELL, John A. HILL and Walter FIDDYMENT, of Roseville, and Mrs. Dr. W.N. FINNEY, of Lincoln, besides relatives living at Sacramento, Courtland and Santa Rosa. Funeral arrangements have been made for to-morrow at 2 p.m., and interment will be in the Roseville cemetery. One Teacher Less Than Last Season NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 20 - There is one less teacher on the salary list for the new school year, which will begin with the first Monday in September. At last night's meeting of the Board of Education one teacher was dropped, owing to the falling off in the number of pupils during the past year. The recent census returns showed a startling decrease in children of a school age, many families having moved away of late months, hence the action of last night. The following teachers were appointed: E.E. ARMSTRONG, Principal of the city schools, $160 per month; G.W. OGDEN and Mrs. McMORMICK, seventh grade instructors, $90 per month; Miss S. POWER, Miss Lizzie KEENAN, Lizzie RICHARD, Maude MURCHIE, Gertrude GOYNE, Mrs. Cora WADSWORTH, Mrs. Millie MORGAN and Miss Helen RANSOME, $70 per month; E.H. BARKER, Principal of the High School, $150 per month; Miss Florence KIMBALL, High School, $105; Miss Shirley WARD, of Woodland newly appointed, $100, to teach English and French. There will be no special French teacher this year, owing to lack of funds. Attorney Sent to Jail For 30 Days NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 20 - The novel spectacle of an attorney going to jail was witnessed here yesterday when George D. BUCKLEY, of this place, went up for thirty days in lieu of a fine of $30. He was given his choice, and said he would go to jail. BUCKLEY, an attorney, raised a disturbance one night recently, and when arrested demanded a jury trial. He was accommodated and after hearing the testimony of several witnesses, the jury quickly brought in a verdict of guilty. BUCKLEY conducted his own case, but failed to make much of an impression on the jury in the face of evidence offered by the prosecution. District Attorney GEORGE L. JONES prosecuted the case. Oroville People Marry at Chico CHICO (Butte Co.), June 20 - Early this morning shortly after midnight, in fact, Miss Ray FRANCIS and Dr. McGAUGHEY of Oroville were married here by the Rev. L.M. WILKINS, of the Episcopal Church. For some reason the couple desired the issuing of the license and the ceremony be kept secret, but they were unsuccessful. They left to-day for Southern California. May Reopen Deal RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), June 20 - J.A. DAVIS, of San Francisco, who was the local representative of the Turnbulls, millionaire lumber men of Minneapolis, in their deal for the purchase of the holding of the Sierra Lumber Company, arrived here last night. It has been reported that the old deal fell through, and of this there seems little doubt, but DAVIS' return here leads to the report that the Turnbulls seek to reopen negotiations. Methodists Meet WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), June 20 - The fortieth annual conference of the Methodist Church South, Colusa District, opened here this morning. Presiding Elder M. HODGSON, of Chico, occupied the chair. Rev. G.B. NEEDHAM, of Yuba City, was elected Secretary. Twelve pastors were present. Committees were named this morning and this afternoon various pastors made reports. Two Inquests ISLETON (Sacramento Co.), June 20 - Judge MEALER, acting for the Coroner, yesterday held two inquests over Chinamen. Lee HENG, a San Francisco refugee, died of heart failure while at work in a field. At Vorden, Chang SEE, 69 years of age, died from natural causes. Kills Himself RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), June 20 - George T. ROOT, a laborer, committed suicide yesterday in the Sutton House, near the Butte County line. Insanity was the cause. Le Doux Case Ends STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 20 - The taking of testimony in the LE DOUX murder case concluded at noon to-day, when a recess was taken, and the Court announced that argument would begin at 1 o'clock. It is expected that to-day and to-morrow and possibly part of Friday will be taken up with the argument. The trial has lasted about two weeks and a great many witnesses have been examined, and for that reason it is thought that the argument will be long, at least on the side of the prosecution. While the prevailing sentiment is that the accused is guilty, there is some feeling that the jury may disagree, for various reasons, such as the fact that the accused is a woman and the evidence is largely circumstantial. Wants Convention NAPA (Napa Co.), June 20 - A strong effort will be made by the local Parlor of Native Sons, at the Convention in Ventura of that Order, to have the next Grand Convention meet in this city. The delegates from Napa Parlor are: J.M. PALMER, A.C. AMATUTZ, E.L. WEBBER and Frank M. SILVA, and they have been instructed to do their utmost to bring around this end. Superior Judge H.C. GESFORD and Frank L. COOMBS will also attend the session of the Grand Parlor as Past Grand Presidents of the Order. Three Are Fined ISLETON (Sacramento Co.), June 20 - Humane Officer F.M. WOODSON yesterday went to Tyler Island and arrested three Chinamen for cruelty to animals. The men were brought before Justice of the Peace MEALER last night. Ah SONG and Ah CHOW were fined $20 each and Chan FOY $25. The cases against them were aggravated ones. Ono Man Dies CHICO (Butte Co.), June 20 - Charles A. ALBRIG, of Ono, Shasta County, died here yesterday. He had been in bad health for some time. The body was sent to Ono for burial. His sister, Mrs. Alice BAKER, resides here. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This message was sent to: CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

Tuesday, June 19, 1906 Page 6 FORGOT SWITCH, WRECK FOLLOWS Special Freight Carrying Oil and Threshing Machinery Comes To Grief In The Redding Yards REDDING (Shasta Co.), June 19 - A special north-bound freight was wrecked in the Redding yards by running in on the oil tank spur. A section man ran a handcar on the spur to keep out of the way of the special, but he forgot to throw the switch back for the main line and the freight followed the handcar, jumped the rails at the derailing switch and came to a stop when it had run into the bank. The engine, No. 2262, new and one of the heaviest on the division, was wrecked, as were the oil cars and a flat car loaded with threshing machines. One of the threshing machines was rolled down the embankment. The oil cars sprang leaks, and the creek near by became a running stream of oil. The mechanism of the locomotive was not damaged, but the tender will have to be rebuilt. Conductor JANAK, who was in the cabooses, was slightly injured by the sudden stop, being thrown against the stove. Engineer Henry WENTZ and Fireman A. RADER did not jump. Their escape from injury was remarkable, considering that the tender was jammed into the cab part way. The wreck being on a spur, the main line was not blockaded. 5 Win; 8 Lose REDDING (Shasta Co.), June 19 - Of the thirteen applicants who took the teachers' examination in this city last week, only five will receive certificates. Their names and addresses are: Miss Donna DENNIS, Redding; Miss Pearl PETTY, Sisson; Miss Nellie BIDWELL and Miss Burney BIDWELL, Burney Valley; Frank FITZWATER, Dana. Scarcity of Men Given as Excuse OROVILLE (Butte Co.), June 19 - At a meeting of the City Council last evening, letters were received from Chief Engineer CONKLIN and Attorney A.F. JONES, of the Northern Electric Company, relative to the failure of the Company to put High Street into condition as promised. It was alleged by these representatives that the Company was unable to get the men or equipment to do the work, and they asked that the public be lenient until they could secure help. Attorney JONES alleged that property owners were obstructing the street, and asked that such obstructions be removed before the Company was compelled to improve the street. The letters were placed on file and the Clerk instructed to ask the attorney the nature of the obstructions existing. Town's First Fire MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 19 - Hammon, the new dredger settlement, on the Yuba River, ten miles east of Marysville, experienced its first conflagration yesterday. The first reports to reach this point were to the effect that six of the new cottages owned by the company were destroyed. Investigation proved, however, that only one of the cottages was destroyed, that occupied by James BENNETT and family. They lost most of their effects. The building was fully insured. GALLANAR IN SAN QUENTIN Long Fight To Escape Penitentiary Results In Failure And Loss Of Time To No Purpose REDDING (Shasta Co.), June 19 - At last Shasta County is rid of George W. GALLANAR - for ten years, at least. He left for San Quentin prison this morning in charge of Deputy Sheriff BEHRENS to enter upon the ten-year term imposed for his killing Adolph GARMAN at Keswick, February 22, 1903. In the Superior Court yesterday afternoon Judge HEAD stated on the bench that he had received official notice from the State Supreme Court that GALLANAR's appeal had been denied and he directed Sheriff RICHARDSON to execute the judgement. GALLANAR wrote a farewell letter to the Sheriff thanking that officer for courtesies and the like, notwithstanding that in all these years GALLANAR has been a constant grpwier at the Sheriff and the rules of the jail. The last sentence of the letter struck the Sheriff's funny bone. "It would give me much pleasure," wrote GALLANAR, "to be present in the coming campaign and labor for your re-election." Mrs. GALLANAR has been faithful to the interest of her husband. For over three years she has visited him at least once a week in the jail and many weeks much oftener, always bringing with her something in the way of food or clothing. Her devotion to him, even when the hand of the law was heavy against him, has shown a beautiful trait of character that is seen only in woman. CLOUD OF WHITE MIST ON SHASTA Strange Sight Probably Due to Vapor From Hot Sulphur Springs On Top Of The Big Mountain SISSON (Siskiyou Co.), June 19 - Regarding the dispatch in last evening's Bee telling of "smoke hovering over Mt. Shasta's top," it is true that the great mountain appeared in a peculiar haze and caused some uneasiness here among Sisson residents. What appeared to be a white cloud of smoke evidently was something else. It arose from one particular spot and floated away to the southward. This remarkable phenomenon is accounted for by some of the fact that there is known to be a hot sulphur spring in the old crater just to the east of the extreme summit, as seen from Sisson, and it is claimed that vapor or steam arises from this spring, or well, at all times. When the wind is in a favorable direction, this vapor assumes the shape of dense fog or steam cloud, and for hours has been known to rise and float away to the southward. This has given rise to repeated stories about old Shasta being on the verge of eruption. From the foothills to the summit the mountain is covered with snow, and the people here reason that if there was sufficient heat to cause an eruption, the snow would surely disappear. The cloud that attracted attention Sunday evening resembled steam and was as white as the snow surrounding the crater. Most of the local citizens look upon it as a somewhat common occurrence, and are by no means alarmed. Since the recent San Francisco shake-up, and the many prophesies of direful calamities elsewhere, everyone is ready to look with suspicion on anything out of the ordinary about the old mountain. Gould's First Trial YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), June 19 - The trial of Cyrus GOULD before Judge BEARD in the Superior Court commenced to-day. As The Bee is already told GOULD is accused of six burglaries at Dunsmuir, the theft of that many watches. Afterward he left for Redding, where he was arrested and returned to Dunsmuir for examination. The Justice held him for trial in the Superior Court on each of the six charges filed against him. A jury will be secured to-day. Adopt New System For the Students STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 19 - The students of the High School next year will have nine courses to select from. A plan has been arranged wherein students can take a two-year course of arithmetic, grammar, penmanship, etc. This plan was no doubt that cause of Principal RITTER's resignation, as he was opposed to anything but the college preparatory course of studies. Six of the courses prepare pupils for the universities and three do not. The two-year course does not entitle a student to a diploma, but he can return and finish his four years' work and will then be given his sheepskin. Heretofore the commercial student received only five months' instruction in arithmetic. Now he can have a year with two years' review of the subject. The graduates of the grammar schools have been presented with printed slips of the courses of study, containing thirty-three subjects, from which they must choose. Working to Oust Justice of Peace STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 19 - Justice of the Peace SPURRIER yesterday filed a bond in the sum of $1000, to meet one of the points raised against him by Attorney Chas. LIGHT, who is seeking to oust him from office - alleging that SPURRIER had failed to give additional bonds, one of his bondsmen having died on October 14, 1904. LIGHT's main contention is that SPURRIER has neglected to do his duty by failing to be present at various times to hold Court. Judge SMITH has set the Justice's hearing for to-morrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The members of the legal fraternity are greatly interested in the proceedings. Feese Gives Bail STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 19 - S.N. FEESE, the Lodi blacksmith, accused of wronging a 12-year-old girl of that town, was released yesterday on $2000 bail. His bondsmen are Mrs. S.B. WILLIAMS, of Stanislaus County and J.W. STAFFORD, G.P. STAFFORD, C.C. GARNER and B.F. WOODSON, of Lodi. The defendant's home has been given as security for the bonds. ARREST OF DORA CHIPP IN OREGON Indian Woman Accused Of Murdering Mrs. Beale's Infant Child Caught By Officers At Bonanza YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), June 19 - Dora CHIPP, an Indian woman, wanted here to answer a charge of murder, has been arrested at Bonanza, Klamath County, Oregon. She is accused of killing the baby of Mrs. William BEALE and wounding the mother. HOW THE BABY DIED YREKA (Siskiyou Co.), June 19 - The report has reached here that Mrs. William BEALE, who was shot by the Indian woman, Dora CHIPP, is in a serious condition. A new version of the killing of the 17-months-old baby of Mrs. BEALE is given. It seems that the white woman did not jump from the buggy and run, leaving the infant in the vehicle. Mrs. BEALE, it appears, was holding the child in her arms when the first shot was fired. The noise alarmed the horse, and the animal sprang forward, running off, the sudden movement throwing the baby to the ground. There Dora CHIPP found it, and with a rock beat out its brains, it is said. It is thought here that the murderess escaped into Oregon. OREGON OFFICERS ALERT KLAMATH FALLS (Ore.), June 19 - The officers here were notified early yesterday of the attack made on Mrs. William BEALE and the murder of her infant child by Dora CHIPP, an Indian woman. Steps were taken at once to learn if the murderess crossed the line into Oregon, and every effort will be made to co-operate with the officers in Siskiyou and Modoc, who are now in pursuit of the fiend. Davis' Petition WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), June 19 -The hearing of the petition of William F. DAVIS, of Sacramento, for letters of guardianship and custody of the 4-year-old daughter of Charles H. WAUGHTEL has been continued to June 28th. WAUGHTEL, through his attorney, A.C. HUSTON, has filed an opposition to the granting of the petition. The case will be heard before some Judge other than GADDIS. Zeibright Strike NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 19 - Following close on the heels of the rich strike reported in the Zeibright Mine last week comes another and of far greater importance, from the same property. Last night work was sent to this city from the mine that in the upper tunnel a ledge eighteen feet wide had been struck, full of high grade milling ore and containing many beautiful specimens hanging with gold. This is the greatest piece of news from the Zeibright in years and insures its future as a paying proposition. Mining men will realize the importance of this strike whin it is said that it gives 400 feet of backs from the point where the ledge was encountered. NOYES NAMED FOR SHERIFF Republicans of Sutter Hold Primaries Under Crawford Plan, and Poll A Large Vote YUBA CITY (Sutter Co.), June 19 - At the Republican primaries held in Sutter County yesterday a large vote was polled. Considerable interest was shown in the candidates for Sheriff, and it was for this office that the principal fight was made. The election was held under the Crawford plan. It proved satisfactory as far as can be learned. Each voter had the privilege of designating his choice for county and township officers, and the candidates receiving the highest number of votes for their respective offices received the nomination. The Convention will be held in Yuba City on Thursday, June 21st at which time the delegates will meet at the Court House and ratify the candidates elected at the primaries. Fourteen out of seventeen precincts heard from show the following vote, the three small precincts from which no returns were received not being material: For Sheriff there were three candidates in the field - F.B. NOYES, F.E. LUYSTER and R.A. CARPENTER. CARPENTER was not in the race, and NOYES received seventy-seven votes more than LUYSTER, which gives him the nomination. D.D. GREEN, for County Clerk, led F.B. RAUB by 311 votes. Albert GRAVES, for Treasurer and Tax Collector, defeated L.V. BEST by 106 votes. BEST, the present Treasurer and Tax Collector, has only held the office since April 10th last, having been appointed to fill the unexpired term of L.J. COPE. Arthur BAILEY received the nomination for Auditor and Recorder. Lawrence SCHILLIG was renominated for District Attorney and L.L. FREEMAN for County Superintendent of Schools. A.A. McRAE's name was not printed on the ballot, but was written in by the voter, and he will receive the nomination for Assessor. P.W. ROWE was the only one of the ticket for Coroner and Public Administrator. Richard WALTON will receive the nomination for Supervisor in District No. 1; W.E. TUCKER for Justice of the Peace, and I.W. SMALLWOOD for Constable. For Supervisor in District No. 3, J.C. ALBERTSON will receive the nomination. George OHLEYER, Chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, informed a Bee correspondent to-day that the Central Committee will call a meeting this month and set the date for holding the Democratic primaries and Convention. They will not adopt the Crawford plan. New Armory MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 19 - A number of the members of Company D.N.G.C., of this city, have formed themselves into a Hall Association. Their first step was to secure a lease on Hopkins' Hall, which is on E Street, one block south of their present armory, and rent the quarters to Captain DIVVER for a drill hall and assembly room. The move is in anticipation of Turner Hall, the Company's present quarters, being converted into a theater. The officers of the Hall Association are: President, H.L. WYRICK; Vice-President, F.H. WOODS; Secretary, E.H. WHITE; Treasurer, G.B. BAKER; Trustees - E.T. MANWELL, W.O. SUTFIN and C.O. TAYLOR; Executive Committee - E.H. WHITE and G.B. BAKER. The lease of the premises covers a term of five years. Drops Dead MAGALIA (Butte Co.), June 19 - Emmit MILLER, aged 80 years, dropped dead here this morning while at the breakfast table. So far as known he had never had a day's illness. He was always hale and hearty. While eating breakfast he complained of pains about the heart and the next moment fell to the floor dead. The Coroner has been notified. Mr. MILLER lived in this section between thirty and forty years. Page 7 PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS OUT Suspended For Non-Payment Of Dues and Sierra Athletic Club Now Faces An Acute Crisis GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), June 19 - A ship without a rudder, an engine without an engineer - this describes the condition of the Sierra Athletic Club of this city at present. The President and the entire Board of Directors have been suspended for non-payment of dues and with them many members. In all it is said twenty-five have been dropped in a bunch. As a result the remaining members have engaged an attorney who will pilot them through the shoals attendant upon the election of a new President and Board of Directors. A demand will be made on the officers who have been dropped for all the books and the money now on hand. This club has had a somewhat stormy career during the past six months. It was duly incorporated under the State laws over a year ago, and for a time everything was lovely. Monthly boxing contests were pulled off and prosperity caused the club treasury to wax fat. The club, by the way, is an amateur affair. Then dissensions began to creep in and finally two strong factions faced each other. Matters came to a head when the Directors gave themselves and invited guests a banquet with the club funds. This roused the ire of the other faction, and for a few days there was considerable talk of legal action against the banqueters to compel the return of the money. Nothing came of it, but the feeling only increased. The time for annual election passed, it being impossible to obtain a quorum. Several meetings resulted and still no quorum. Now that wholesale suspension has taken place unless President STRAIGHT and the Directors conclude to renew their membership, a complete reorganization will take place. Under the direction of the attorney, who has been engaged, notice of the meeting and its purpose will be published and at the appointed time a Justice of the Peace will be called it to sit as Temporary President until the officers are elected. The club once had over 140 members. It now has about fifteen in good standing. Miss Morgan and J.H. Fuller Wed NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), June 19 - One of the most fashionable weddings of the year took place here last evening when Miss Betsy MORGAN became the bride of J.M. FULLER of San Francisco. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. MORGAN, residing on Main Street, in the presence of many relatives and friends. Rev. Francis A. LAMB of the M.E. Church officiated. The bride was attended by Miss Lenore CALKINS as bridesmaid and Miss Elizabeth MORGAN, niece of the bride, as maid of honor. The ribbon bearers were Edith, Alice and Rachel MORGAN and Adelle NILON. E.S. LIVINSGTONE of Oakland performed the office of groomsman. The bride is a native of this city, one of the most prominent society belles, handsome, cultured and gifted with a sweet personality, which has endeared her to a host of friends. Recently she accompanied her parents on a tour of Europe. Mr. FULLER is a rising young business man of San Francisco. They will make their home in Alameda. Cramsie-McGanney MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), June 19 - John CRAMSIE and Miss Anna McGANNEY, a well-known and popular Smartsville couple, came down from the mining camp last evening, procured a marriage license from Cupid EASTMAN and were quietly married at the Catholic Presbytery, Rev. COLEMAN tying the nuptial knot. The groom is well known politically and socially. "Jack," as he is familiarly known, is a member of several of the local Lodges and at all times takes an active interest in the workings of the Republican Party, being a recognized leader in his (rest of article cut off). LE DOUX CASE IS NEAR END Mother Of Defendant Faints In Court And Daughter Rushes To Her Aid In Great Distress STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), June 19 - The defense is putting in its testimony in the LE DOUX murder case to-day and when the noon recess was reached Attorney FAIRALL, for the accused, said that he would probably close this afternoon. The prosecution will then put in its rebuttal. During this morning's session Mrs. HEAD, the mother of the accused, startled the Court-room by fainting away, and falling upon the floor. Her daughter, the accused, sprang to her aid and gave her some water from a glass, after which the prostrate woman was carried from the Court-room by the bailiff and others. As Mrs. HEAD groaned, Mrs. LE DOUX burst into tears and was almost beside herself. She was soon herself again, however, and assumed the air of unruffled calm which has characterized her demeanor throughout the trial. The witnesses this morning were physicians, who testified regarding the relative action of various poisons, ante and post-mortem bruises, the blood and other matters of a like character. This testimony was introduced to support the contention of the defence that the deceased came to his death from cyanide poisoning, self-administered, and that he was dead when placed in the trunk. The Court-room continues crowded with spectators, some of whom come in two hours before Court convenes and remain throughout the day. Boy Drowns VALLEJO (Solano Co.), June 19 - A. HENDRICKSON, 17 years old, son of E. HENDRICKSON of this city, was drowned at Martinez yesterday afternoon while bathing. Can't Find Him LODI (San Joaquin Co.), June 19 - The family and friends of A.G. VASSAR, who mysteriously left Lodi on the morning of March 9th last, have been anxiously, but thus far vainly, seeking his whereabouts. The missing man was a carpenter by trade at the time of his disappearance and was engaged in building a cottage of his own in East Lodi. Mystery is added to the case by the fact that VASSAR had no bad habits. He was of a pleasant disposition and in his home life seemed happy and contented. VASSAR is 44 years old, medium hight, rather dark complexioned and weighs about 170 pounds. The family including five children moved here from Jackson about two years ago. They are highly respectable and well thought of. WESTERN NEVADA STATE NEWS Governor Hurt RENO (Nev.), June 19 - Governor John SPARKS is suffering from a badly bruised arm, hip and head as the result of an accident yesterday afternoon while driving from the city to the Alamo farm in company with J.H. NEVIN, the State bouillon tax collector, who had his right hand injured and his head cut also. The two were driving a young colt belonging to the Governor, when an automobile appeared coming up the road at a rapid clip. Not wanting to take any changes of the colt bolting the Governor drove the animal to one side, and in doing so one of the wheels went over an embankment and almost at the same time broke, throwing the occupants of the rig down the embankment on their heads. Auto Coaches RHYOLITE (Nev.), June 19 - The San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railway, which is being extended into the Bullfrog country, which later, so the company says, will enter Tonopah and Goldfield, has ordered several auto coaches, which are to be given a test on the new line as soon as the gold center is reached. The coaches will be used for passenger traffic only, and will run with either electric or gasoline power. The company expects to establish a frequent and rapid passenger service between the various mining camps. School Fund Steal RENO (Nev.), June 19 - One of the first matters taken up by the Grand Jury which met yesterday afternoon in this city was the Sparks school scandal. It is claimed that the Trustees and contractor connived to extort about $8000 from the school fund, and that such an amount was taken by the payment for extras. Books Show Large Thefts by Dobbins TONOPAH (Nev.), June 19 - H.H. CLARK, the Bullfrog millionaire miner, says the defalcation of Thomas C. DOBBINS, formerly manager of the United Manhattan Mining Company, instead of amounting to $6800 will run to the sum of $12,000. An investigation of the books has just been completed which shows that DOBBINS is guilty of embezzlement as well as forgery. DOBBINS is well known in the southern country, where he has been connected with the mining business for several years. Does Sparks Seek a Renomination? CARSON (Nev.), June 19 - In spite of Governor SPARKS recent announcement to newspapermen that he would not be a candidate for re-election as Governor, it is reported that he has intimated to close political friends that he may again consent to his nomination by the Democrats. Governor SPARKS, when he made his announcement of retirement, said his business interests had suffered since his election in office, but there is a possibility now of his name going before the Convention in spite of this excuse. Conservative politicians say there should be no surprise if the Governor followed the course he took two years ago, when he declined to become a candidate for Senator and a few weeks afterwards entered the fight. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This message was sent to: CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

April 28, 1906 Page 6 Told Conductor to Carry Away Hobos MONTAGUE (Siskiyou Co.), April 28 - At 8 o'clock Thursday evening a freight train from the south arrived here and the conductor and brakeman put off the train forty or fifty hobos and toughs. This somewhat enraged the citizens and they concluded that this tough gang should immediately leave town. Constable Frank MILES, accompanied by a large number of town people, went to the conductor and informed him that he would have to take them out of town, as California at the present time had enough earthquake sufferers to look after. The conductor opened a box-car door and told the "bunch" to get in, and shortly after the train pulled out for Oregon. Montague, since the late calamity in San Francisco and other towns in this State, has fed a large number of refugees en route to relatives in this county and others who belong just over the Oregon line, but to be compelled to feed forty or fifty hobos was asking too much. Allen Arraigned GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), April 28 - Jack ALLEN, who so fearfully stabbed his wife and father-in-law in this city a number of weeks ago, was arraigned before Judge FRANK to-day, charged with attempted murder. A complaint was sworn to yesterday afternoon by William JENKIN, son of Alfred JENKIN, who was so dangerously wounded, charging ALLEN with the attempted murder of his father and sister. Young JENKIN is determined to prosecute ALLEN without mercy, and should ALLEN be discharged, the young man is likely to wreak vengeance on him, if he keeps the vows he made some time ago. JENKIN is now out of danger and able to sit up for a short while each day. He was not able to appear in Court to-day. Left Relatives in Sacramento DELTA (Shasta Co.), April 28 - Mrs. L.C. CREEKS died here yesterday morning and will be buried this afternoon. She was aged 65 and was long a resident of Shasta County. She had been in poor health for a long time and her death was not unexpected. Mrs. CREEKS left a brother and a sister in Sacramento - Charles FARREN and Mrs. Henry HOFFMAN. Another, William FARREN, was fatally injured Monday by being struck by (rest of article cut off.) UNKNOWN MAN MADE ATTEMPT TO START CONFLAGRATION IN TRUCKEE Town Saved From Disastrous Fire in Nick of Time - Tough Characters Overrun Place TRUCKEE (Nevada Co.), April 28 - Between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock Wednesday morning some unknown individual deliberately took an old coat, wrapped it in several old newspapers, applied a match to it and threw the parcel in the woodshed at the rear of the Capital Saloon. But for the night cook for Ben KING, who conducts a restaurant in the saloon, the town might have suffered a heavy loss by fire. The range of the restaurant is close by the rear window, and the cook happened to be preparing a meal when the light in the woodshed attracted his attention. He rushed out the door and observed that the fire had not ignited other material in the building, but was burning only the coat. He stamped out the blaze and returned to the restaurant, thinking that he had entirely smothered out the fire. Ben KING, the owner of the restaurant, returned to his place of business about 6 o'clock. He went into the woodshed and discovered that the fire had not been extinguished. The burned coat was smoking, and he hastened to stamp out the fire. The man who threw the coat in the window is not known, but a certain individual is under suspicion, having been seen in that vicinity by other people a few minutes before the fire was discovered. The deliberate act to burn down the town has caused considerable talk among the business element of Truckee. At the present time there are a number of very tough characters in this place. Friday morning, Charles OCKER, Chairman of the Relief Committee, was compelled to use force to eject ten hoboes who insisted upon having hot water with which to bathe their faces and hands, near the relief headquarters. They were ordered out of town. Mr. OLIVER caught one man in the act of taking a package of coffee from the supply room. This man was given a start for the east end of the railroad yards. There is some talk on the street of calling a mass meeting to handle the situation as the tough element must be made to move on.

Balakalala Office REDDING (Shasta Co.), April 28 - The Balaklala Company, which is to erect an immense smelter near Kennett, has secured offices here, and this morning established itself in what is left of the old Depot Hotel building on the Souther Pacific tracks.

CLAIR, the woman of the half-world who was beaten about the head with a heavy iron bolt wielded by an ex-soldier named John HOLLAND, last Tuesday, has taken a change for the worse. At first her condition was not regarded as serious, but the Hospital Physician now reports that the chances are against her recovery. HOLLAND is held at the city prison awaiting the outcome. Pioneer Dead PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.), April 28 - W.A. LEWIS died at Smith Flat about noon yesterday, aged 79 years. Mr. LEWIS was one of the pioneers of this State, coming to California in 1852. He lived in Sierra County for a while, but later moved to El Dorado County, residing at Badger Hill and Smith Flat. He was a miner by occupation and had many friends among the old-timers in this vicinity. Mr. LEWIS was a native of Sweden.

DREW KNIFE AND RAZOR ON WIFE Sandwich Peddler, Insane From Liquor, Makes Two Attempts To Kill Woman And Fights Officers. OROVILLE (Butte Co.), April 28 - Constable REILLY and Officer RIPPERY were summoned last night to arrest a sandwich peddler names Sam STICKLE. While crazed with liquor, STICKLE chased his wife out of a tent in which they were living and attempted to cut her throat, first with a butcher knife and then with a razor.

Northern California News Article Text: The Evening Bee Sacramento, Cal. Wednesday, April 25, 1906 Page 6 Jealousy Leads to A Stabbing Affray VALLEJO (Solano Co.), April 25 - James CHASE, colored, a resident here, was cut by another colored man named D. MITCHELL, also a resident, on Monday night. MITCHELL telephoned for CHASE to meet him opposite a saloon in town, and when CHASE arrived attacked him with a knife, the blade being four and a half inches long. He made a stab at CHASE's heart, but a thick jacket and vest CHASE wore saved his life. MITCHELL then stabbed CHASE in the back of the neck, inflicting a wound four inches long and a half-inch deep, and another lesser wound in the head. CHASE's wounds were quickly attended to and the result will not be fatal. MITCHELL is in jail charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Jealousy regarding a woman was the cause of the trouble. Waiter Elopes with 15-year-old Girl RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), April 25 - M. CLIFFORD, a waiter in a popular resort, and Jennie HURLBURT, a girl of 15, planned and executed an elopement in the most approved style Monday night. They did not get farther, however, than Cottonwood, twelve miles north of here, where they were overtaken by an officer and a warrant and returned here on the noon train do-day. The warrant was sworn out by the mother of the girl, who charged CLIFFORD with kidnaping. On their return here the man was locked up in the County Jail and the girl was returned to her mother. Auto Carries Mail HAYFORK (Trinity Co.), April 22 - Mails and passengers will soon be carried between Hayfork and Weaverville by way of Douglas City in an automobile, the first to be used in the mountainous part of Superior California for public service. George REID is the mail contractor. He sent money yesterday by Walter DAY and Fred HOFFLEY, who left for San Francisco with a commission to purchase anywhere they could a good serviceable automobile. The distance between Hayfork and Weaverville is twenty-seven miles. Some idea of the remoteness of this place may be gathered from the fact that a San Francisco Sunday morning paper does not reach Hayfork until Tuesday evening. Take Over Office REDDING (Shasta Co.), April 25 - Charles W. LEININGER and Lloyd W. CARTER entered to-day upon their four-year term in the Redding Land Office, the first as Register, to succeed F.M. SWASEY, and the second as Receiver, to succeed himself and enter upon his third term. Their appointments were made several weeks ago, as was told in The Bee at the time, but they have just received their commissions. DEATH PURSUES THE BARNETTS Another Member of Ill-Fated Family, Three Of Whom Were Poisoned At Stockton, Passes Away CHICO (Butte Co.), April 25 - Three times during the last few months has death visited some member of the ill-fated BARNETT family, which figured so prominently in the Stockton poisoning case recently. At that time, the father and two children were killed by poison in a mysterious manner, and even yet the case has not been entirely unraveled. A short time ago, Alpha BARNETT, a sister, ended her life in Chico by inhaling monoxide gas in her room at the home where she was employed as a domestic. Now the sad news has been learned of the burning to death of Miss Lulu RAMSEY, a sister-in-law of the central figure of Stockton's case, in San Francisco's conflagration. The only particulars received so far in Chico indicate that Miss RAMSEY, who was 17 years old, was at a hotel in San Francisco, where she went soon after leaving Chico. Beat the Woman With Iron Bolt MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), April 25 - John HOLLAND, a young man who claims to have seen six years' service in the United States Signal Corps, is in jail here charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Yesterday he made application to the Western Union people for a position as operator, and later committed the crime for which he is imprisoned. HOLLAND visited a house of ill-fame on First Street, and because a woman named Josie ST. CLAIR would not return a dollar he had given her, beat her over the head with an iron bolt until she was almost unconscious. He escaped, despite that fact that several men were attracted to the scene by the woman's screams, but was captured later by Officer BECKER. HOLLAND's victim was taken to the County Hospital for treatment. Not Very Much Damage at the Soldiers' Home YOUNTVILLE (Napa Co.), April 25 - Two thousand dollars will probably cover the damages sustained at the Soldiers' Home from the earthquake. The shock was felt most severely in the hospitals, where there were over 100 patients, beside the numerous attendants. The drug-room was completely demolished and every ward in the building wrecked, the plastering falling out and in some instances entirely covering the beds where some of the most helpless invalids were confined. The houses of the officers and the quarters of the men will require numerous repairs as a result of the terrible shaking up. Forgery and Theft CHICO (Butte Co.), April 25 - Because of the suspicions of the proprietor of the Union Hotel in Chico yesterday when a young man presented a signed statement asking advanced credit for himself and two men credit for himself, two men are in the clutches of the law. (Sic) G. BAFLER, the man holding the statement, is accused of forgery. He acknowledged his guilt when questioned. M.H. HALL whose name was forged is also in jail because of the tale that FABLER told regarding his method of securing the "swill" from the local hotels. HALL would brush into a sack silver articles and butter chips from the tables in hotel kitchens, and would later sell then. He denies his guilt, but the case seems strong against him. Found Dead in Cabin STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), April 23 - George McDONALD's dead body was found in a cabin located in the rear of a saloon at Banta yesterday. McDONALD had been in the southern pare of the county for about three years, but very little was known about him. Coroner SOUTHWORTH sent a deputy after the remains which are now in the morgue in this city. No one has been found who knows anything concerning his relatives or family. An inquest will be held in a few days, death probably having been due to natural causes. NEGRO ASSAULTS WHITE WOMAN Gets Her To Barn By Pretext But Fails In His Purpose And Now Is In Yuba County Jail MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), April 25 - Confined in the County Jail here is a negro named F. WALKER, an ex-soldier, who is held on a charge of attempted assault. The complaining witness is a young woman of 20, who acts as nurse at the home of John SCHONLAN, nine miles east of town, near the KUPSER place. She avers that WALKER came to the SCHONLAN place at an early hour yesterday morning and asked that she go to the scales near the barn to see that some hay, which he desired to purchase, was properly weighed by him. Although her suspicious were aroused through seeing no rig in sight with which to haul the hay, she came out of the house and had proceeded only a short distance in the yard when she was struck by the negro in the face, the blow demolishing her eyeglasses and stunning her. Although she was overcome and her face was severely cut, she was able to resist and by screaming she attracted the attention of the SCHONLAN children, who ran from the house and toward the residence of a neighbor named KUPSER. This frightened WALKER, who hastily disappeared. It was not until toward evening that the young woman made complaint to her employer and then a search of the neighborhood was made with the result that WALKER was found buried in the hay mow at the KUPSER barn. A young man named William AVERY routed him from his hiding place with a pitchfork. Until the arrival of Sheriff VOSS, who was immediately telephoned for, the colored man was guarded by the neighbors, who had been searching for him with their firearms. It was with difficulty that they restrained SCHONLAN from dispatching him with his rifle. Had the attack been of a more serious nature in the morning there is no doubt WALKER would now be ornamenting a slab at the Morgue. WALKER showed to his captors papers of honorable discharge from the Army. He was greatly relieved when Sheriff VOSS took him into custody. The officer found a razor stored away in the fellow's sleeve on searching him. Two other colored men, supposed to be pals of WALKER, and who were in the vicinity of the attempted outrage, have proven that they were in no way connected with the affair. Train Kills Woman STOCKTON (San Joaquin Co.), April 25 - An unknown woman was run over and killed Monday night by the 7:10 Santa Fe train from San Francisco. The woman was driving in a cart, accompanied by a little girl, at Oakley, a station just over the border in Contra Costa County, when the train was coming. She got out of the cart and was crossing the track to open a gate on the opposite side when the train bore down on her. Her body was badly mangled. The Coroner of Contra Costa County has charge of the case. DEATH CLAIMS DAN McCARTHY Former Keswick Hotel Man, Well Known All Over The County, Dies At Fruitvale After Brief Illness REDDING (Shasta Co.), April 25 - A telegram was received here yesterday afternoon from Fruitvale announcing the death of Dan McCARTHY in that place earlier in the day. No particulars were given, though it is assumed that death was sudden, for Mr. McCARTHY was in robust health. Dan McCARTHY was one of the best-known men in Shasta County, where he had lived for twenty years up to three years ago, where he still has extensive property interests. When work was first begun on the Keswick smelter he moved from Copley, where he had been running a store, to the new town of Keswick, opening up a store that did not contain a wagon-load of goods, and he was in debt for them. He prospered as the town boomed and inside of five years made a fortune in the hotel business in Keswick. He built a hotel that cost $32,000 and a two-story brick building, the only one in town. He made fortunate investments in mines, paying $600 for a half-interest in a mine that yielded $20,000 inside of six months. Disastrous fires swept through Keswick but McCARTHY's property was always spared. He sold most of his Keswick property just before the decline commenced. He was always called lucky, but he had great business foresight, as well. McCARTHY will be remembered in every mining and smelting camp on the Coast. Leaving Keswick he went to Oakland, where he opened up a new cemetery, and he is reputed to have been making a great deal of money there. He and his family resided in Fruitvale, a suburb of Oakland. Three Men Dashed Seven Hundred Feet SANTA ROSA (Sonoma Co.), April 25 - A peculiar accident caused by the earthquake resulted in the death of three men at the Great Eastern, a Sonoma County quicksilver mine. As the cage was being hoisted from the mine a giant boulder dislodged by the shaking earth fell down the shaft. The cage was 150 feet from the top, and the boulder smashed it into the sides of the shaft, where it partially lodged. The three men in the cage - John HANSON, C. GORSKI and John MILLER, - were instantly killed. Their bodies were hurled to the bottom of the 700-foot shaft, where they were subsequently recovered. Hotel Burned MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), April 25 - Word has been received here of the destruction by fire of the hotel property near Brownsville owned by John PURDY. Very little of the furniture, etc., was saved. A defective flue was the cause of the blaze. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This message was sent to: CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

SAN FRANCISCO ITEMS – Capt. Daniel B. MOSBY of the steamer Bragdon, a native of Kentucky and aged 40 years, died yesterday. Capt. LANDRUM is said to be recovering from the effects of the accident at the crossing of Powell and Francisco street. August HECHT, who was run over by Empire engine lately, died yesterday of his wounds received. – S.F. Eve. Bulletin, 24th DRUG STORE FOR SALE. – We would call attention to the fact that the Drug Store in this place is now offered for sale, a notice of which will be seen by reference to the advertising column of W.C.T. SMITH in this paper. To persons wishing to engage in the Drug Business no better opportunity could present itself, for a profitable investment. The Stock is well selected and of the best quality, and the store at present has an excellent run of custom. Mr. SMITH will dispose of the stock on very advantageous terms to any person wishing to purchase, on account of having a great deal of other business to attend to which prevents him giving it that attention which the business requires. CARPETS & PAPER HANGINGS. – We know of no better place for our readers to supply themselves with these articles than with our patron, F.G. EDWARDS, whose card will be found in another column. We dropped in on him the other day, and found him supplied with a large and well selected stock, and upon examination judged that the goods were “marked low.” FOR THE EAST. – The following U.S. Army officers took their departure on the steamer Orizaba, for the East, which sailed on the 21st.

While engaged in stacking up a lot of lumber to season, on a lot where he was about to build a residence, the lot canted over, striking him in the back, and instantly paralyzing his whole body. Upon examination it was found that he had received a severe contusion upon the head, but the most serious difficult is with the spinal column. It is supposed is broken. If so, there is little hope for his life, he now lies perfectly lifeless, so far as any use of his limbs, or any feeling of pain is concerned. His mind is as clear as a bell, and he converses freely with his friends and family. This is one of the most serious accidents which has occurred in our place for many a day, and one which casts a gloom over the whole place. All hope for his recovery, but at the same time feel that it is hoping against fate. Yesterday, Mr. JOHN appointed W.F. STAMBAUGH Deputy Treasurer to attend to the business of his office. LARGE SALE. – On Monday last, J.W. ACKERSON, Esq., of Railroad Wharf, sold in one lump, and all lying in a single pile, three hundred and thirty-nine cords of wood, at $4.50 per cord. Wood is frequently sold at a better price, but so large a pile was never before sold here at once. ACKERSON is doing a thriving business, in the shipping, wharfing, and commission line. AUCTION – By reference to another column it will be seen that the great San Mateo farmer, Henry DUBBERS, will offer his entire stock of farming implements at auction on the 31st. instant. This will be an extensive sale, and one at which many valuable implements may be purchased at low rates. S. OF T. On Wednesday afternoon last, A.D. JONES, the Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance for the State of California being in town, a number of our citizens applied for a charter, almost impromptu, Redwood City Division No. --- was chartered and instituted, the G.W.P. officiating, assisted by District Deputy Andrew TEAGUE, acting as Grand Conductor. The Division was organized in due form. Temporarily adopted rates of initiation fixed at $2.50, and monthly dues at 50 cents. The following officers were elected and installed to wit: C.N. FOX, W.P., Wilson WHITLOCK W.A., J.W. TURNER, R.S., B.G. LATHROP F.S., S.H. BOWMAN T., B.A. RANKIN C., and J.L. SNOW A.C., and C.N. FOX Representative to the Grand Division after which they adjourned until last evening. Dissolution of Partnership The partnership heretofore existing between Messrs STEINHEISER & WEINSHENK in the Dry Goods and Clothing Business, and carried on under the name of STEINHEISER & WEINSHENK, is this day dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. STEINHEISER retiring from the firm. STEINHEISER & WEINSHENK The business will be carried on as heretofore by Mr. WEINSHENK alone, who is authorized to attend to all unsettled business of the firm. Maj. BIDWELL, of Chico, will manufacture this season some two thousand gallons of wine from grapes grown in his vineyard. Sheriff Sale By virtue of an execution issued out of the District Court of the 4th Judicial District of the State of California in and for the City and County of San Francisco, to me duly directed and delivered, in the suit of E.C. SESSIONS vs Dennis MARTIN, by which I am commanded to make the sum of one-thousand nine hundred and fifty-eight dollars and thirty-eight cents (1958 38-100) with interest and $17 50-100 accruing costs. I have levied on the follow property to wit: All the right title and interest of Dennis MARTIN, of in and to a certain tract of land situate within the limits of the present County of San Mateo, in the State of California, which tract is described as the place known under the designation of “Canada de Raymundo” bounded on the west by the Sierra Morena, on the East by the Rancho de las Pulgas, on the south by that of Senor Maximo MARTINEZ, and on the north by the great lagoon or Pond, said description being that contained in the original grant thereof to ! Juan COPPINGER, and also all the right title and interest of said MARTIN of in and to that certain other tract or parcel of land in said County of San Mateo, bounded and described as follows: Commencing at an oak tree situate at the junction of Seco, Dry, or Coppinger Creek and the San Francisquito Creek, thence 258 chains down the San Francisquito Creek to the junction of the Francas Creek, thence southerly up the Creek 35 chains to the Frenchmans crossing, thence S.W. 40 chains to a large oak tree, adjoining a fence thence west 10 chains to a large oak tree marked thus (III) thence S. 53.30 W. 166 chains to a large oak tree on the bank of the Suscal Creek and Dennis Martin Creek, thence down the said Dennis Martin Creek 35 chains to the junction of the said Dennis Martin Creek, and Corke Madeira Creek, then down the said Corke Madeira Creek 53 chains to the place of beginning, containing 1250 acres more or less.

SERIOUS AFFRAY – On Tuesday evening last, a dispute arose between S.D. GATEWOOD and James SMITH, both teamsters well known to most of the residents in this part of the county, which resulted in their coming to blows, when GATEWOOD drew a pocket knife and inflicted two or three severe and dangerous wounds upon SMITH. GATEWOOD was immediately lodged in jail and has since been fully committed to await the action of Grand Jury. SMITH is lying very low from the effect of his wounds, with very little ground to hope for his recovery. This sad affair has created much feeling and anxiety in the community – but as it has yet to go through a thorough legal investigation, we purposely refrain from stating any details of the affray. ASSOCIATES – On Monday last a Convention of the Justices was held at the Court-room, when John GREER and L. WHITTINGHAM Esqrs were elected Associate Justices of the Court of Sessions for the ensuing year. TOOK THEIR SEATS. – On Monday last the several new officers took their positions and commenced the duties of their respective offices. And in every instance the incumbent is here in person to attend to those duties. The retiring Treasurer squared up his books to the very hour of transfer, presented vouchers for everything, and counted over the money to balance. The same system and exactness was observed in every other department. The business of the county has so far increased that the Clerk and Recorder, though an untiring worker himself, has found it necessary to have a regular deputy and has appointed .T.W. LATHROP, Esq. to that position. No better selection could have been made. Upon entering upon the discharge of his duties Mr. BOWMAN appointed George W. FOX his Under Sheriff. No other officer has yet found it necessary to appoint a Deputy. Wm. GODFREY, former proprietor of this paper, has made arrangements to start a daily paper at San Jose, on the eighteenth of next month. We predict for this new enterprise a perfect success. No better field could be found than San Jose presents, and Mr. GODREY is just the man to manage such a concern and make it pay. His success in a business point of view will only be eclipsed by the “personal appearance” of his paper, for with him to superintend the mechanical department, our San Jose neighbors will soon boast the best looking daily in the State. Probate Notice In the Probate Court of the County of San Mate, State of California In the matter of the Estate of John W. KISLING, deceased. The People of the State of California, send greeting: In pursuance of an order of the Probate Judge, of this County, duly made and entered on the 7th day of October, A.D. 1861, notice is hereby given that Tuesday, the 5th day of November, 1861, at 2 o’clock, P.M. of said day, of the November Term, at the Court Room of the Court, at the Court House in Redwood City, in the County of San Mateo, has been appointed for hearing the application of Maria KISLING, praying, that a document now on file in this Court, purporting to be the last will and testament of John W.

We are inclined to think Dr. TRIPP would feel under obligations, if he would relieve him of an office which has been an encumbrance ever since the county was organized and now promises to continue so for two years more. CAUGHT. – MOONEY, the escaped jailbird ran against a snag on Monday last, and is now in his old quarters again. T.W. LATHROP, our Deputy County Clerk, was stopping at the American Exchange in San Francisco, and on going into the back yard was surprised to meet MOONEY, face to face. MOONEY declared stoutly that he did not know LATHROP, but it was no go – he had to abandon his quarter at the American, and take lodgings at the Cross Bar again. We think he will stay there this time. REMOVAL. – As we were creeping the mountain the other day, over the new road to Halfmoon Bay, we were surprised to find our friend, Supervisor BYRNES, half way to the summit. He was moved his stock of goods, building and all, to this new location, and seems now to be finely located, with a fair prospect of a thriving business. DENTISTRY. – It will be seen by reference to advertisement that Dr. E.S. GABBS, at his office corner of Santa Clara and Market Streets, San Jose still continues to do all kinds of work in his line of business where he may be found at all times prepared to wait upon his customers. Having had a long experience in the practice of his profession the Doctor is prepared to perform operations in the very best manner, on the most reasonable terms. STILL AHEAD. – By reference to advertisement, it will be seen that Mr. JAMES A. CLAYTON, corner of Santa Clara and Market Streets, San Jose, is still ahead in his line of business. The fact that Mr. Clayton has received over all competition, all the premiums for both Ambrotypes and Photographs by the last county fair held in San Jose is a sufficient evidence that he will render satisfaction to all who may give him a call. THE MORGAN HOUSE. – We would call the attention of our readers and the public generally, to the advertisement of the Morgan House, Corner of First and San Fernando Streets, San Jose, which appears in another column of our present issue. This well known Hotel, under the management of its present gentlemanly and accommodating proprietor, Mr. E.J. WILCOX, is fast finding favor in the eyes of the traveling public. HALFMOON BAY For the first time in several months we made a visit to this locality on Tuesday last. We found that Redwood City is not the only place in the county which is improving. At Halfmoon Bay we saw many indications of improvement – business seemed to be on the increase, and new buildings going up, or just completed. Leading among these is the Halfmoon Bay hotel, a fine new building just fitted up and opened by Messrs. ELLSWORTH & MORSE whose card will be found in another column. The flour mill which was once thought a doubtful experiment has proved itself a success has all the business it can possibly do and now has but one thing to fear and that is that the Spring Valley Water Co. may rob it of its motive power. We dropped in a moment on our friends BIDWELL & McCABE, whom we found full of business – as that kind of men will ever be short of help, and rapidly getting short of goods. The truth is they advertise freely…sell cheap, and they need more help and greater facilities for transportation, to keep peace with their rapidly increasing business. The new road over the mountain has now bee thoroughly tried for everything except winter travel and proves to be a great and to all present indications, a permanent improvement. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This message was sent to: CA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

DROWNED MAN FUOND -- The body of a man was found on Tuesday in the Stanislaus river, a short distance below the wire suspension bridge at Knight’s Ferry. He is supposed to be a Mexican who was missing at Six-Mile Bar, some 2 months since. An inquest was held by Judge STONE, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental drowning. The body had become disfigured to such an extent as to be beyond recognition. ASSASSINATION of JOSPEH L. WHITE -- Joseph L. WHITE, formerly President of the Nicaragua Accessory Transit and Canal Company; and who endeavored 2 years since to reorganize the Nicaragua and California Steamship line, with the Hermann and Washington, on this coast; and who left New York on the 21st December, for the purpose of purchasing of the Government of Nicaragua the exclusive right of gathering India rubber; was murdered at Point Icaw, on the 5th of last month, by Jonathan GARRITT. As WHITE was passing to his hammock, suspecting no attack, GARRITT, who was reclining in another hammock in the same room, shot him with a revolver, the ball taking effect in the leg, shattering it a little below the knee. The limb was amputated; but mortification set in and on the 12th ult., 7 days after the occurrence, WHITE died. GARRITT formerly kept a crockery establishment in San Francisco, is about 40 years of age and has a wife and children in Boston. The cause of the murder was GARR! ITT had been in Nicaragua several months on the same business that WHITE was striving to attain and he feared the latter’s success. GARRIT [spelled 2 ways] is now in prison. >>Saturday, 16 Feb 1861

VEACH, sworn: Mr. PALMER slept with witness; complained of having a terrible headache; I proposed to him to take a dose of pills during the night; he replied that he would not take any medicine; I got up a little before sunrise and PALMER still complained of the headache; I then made a fire and went out of doors; was gone from 25-30 minutes; was chopping wood and heard Mrs. PALMER scream, and she met me at the door and told me that PALMER had taken a dose of strychnine; when I cam in, a small vial was on a chair, by the side of the bed where PALMER was lying; I ran to him and said, “Green, what in the name of God does this mean? What id you do this for?” He said, “This woman is the cause of all my trouble.” I asked him if I should go after the doctor. He said, “No, it would be of no use,” and said, “I want to die and get out of my misery.” When I first came in, PALMER said, “Al? (the witness’ name) this is awful bitter stuff.” I told him I was goin! g for the doctor, and would stop at Mr. STEARNS’, and have him come up. He said it was of no use to go; he said, “If you are going, good bye,” and reached out his hand. DR. WILLIAM FICKLE, sworn: Mr. VEACH came after me this morning and said Mr. PALMER had poisoned himself; wanted me to go down and did something for him, but he thought that he would be dead before I could get there. I came here and found him dead; I did not make any particular examination, but came away immediately; I supposed from the appearance that he was poisoned. DR. WM. W. BELLVILLE, sworn: Testified that the bottle presented contained strychnine, and from the appearance of the corpse and the evidence adduced on trial, I am of opinion that the deceased came to his death through the action of strychnine. BEACH, recalled: States that the bottle brought forward for inspection is, he thinks, the same one he saw in the chair by the side of Mr. PALMER’s bed. He farther states that he bought a bottle of strychnine about 3 months ago; bought it to kill blackbirds that were taking his wheat and vermin that were taking my chickens. MRS. PALMER, sworn: When I got up this morning, Mr. PALMER complained of being sick; I was getting breakfast and he called me to fetch him some water, and told me to set it down in the chair; I sat it down in the chair, and commenced breakfast again; it was but a short time until he called me by my name, Mary Ann; I ran in as quick as I could; he had the dipper in 1 hand and a bottle of strychnine in the other, forcing it into his mouth; I said, do not do that; he replied that I was too late, his troubles would son be over; I searched for Mr. BEACH [spelled 2 ways] and met him at the door; I do not remember what he said to Mr. BEACH, but think he took him by the hand and said he was going to die; he took hold of my hand and bid me good-bye; then he told me to run and see if sny one was coming; I went out and ran down to meet Mr. STEARNS, and could not bear the idea of going back to see him died; when I got back he was dead; I thought yesterday that Mr. PALMER was out of his ! mind at times. VERDICT -- We the jury find that the deceased, Green PALMER, came to his death by taking strychnine on the morning of Jan. 26th, at his residence in Elkhorn Township, San Joaquin county, from his own hand.

2006 Year in Review for Newspaper Abstracts - Finding Our Ancestors in the News! Newspaper Abstracts started out over six years ago simply as a place to share old newspaper articles I had in my collection and has grown into a site with hundreds of contributors and over 30,900 articles - with over 9,100 contributed during 2006! There are currently over 1,500 registered members on the Newspaper Abstracts site and over 10,000 subscribers to the various Old-News mail lists. An average of 750 news items are added each month and over 1,317,000 of these articles have been read on the site in just the last 18 months! I wanted to take this time to remind all of our various members, subscribers, contributors and coordinators of some of the features of the site and clarify some others. If you haven't visited the site in a while, I encourage you to stop by soon to take advantage of many of the new features. Old News Articles Old news articles are submitted on the website at http://www.NewspaperAbstracts.com, and on occasion through one of the mail lists, by site visitors, regular contributors along with county and state coordinators. For more information on how to submit news articles and what type of articles are accepted on the site please visit http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=1588 and http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=1590. Mail Lists There are 53 mail lists associated with the Newspaper Abstracts website. Through the miracle of computers, all articles added to the site are automatically sent to two mail lists by the script on the website. The first mail list an article goes to is [email protected] This is the main list for Newspaper Abstracts and has the most traffic - normally over 600 emails per month. The second list the article goes to is the state specific list, for example, an article posted in any county in Missouri is sent to the [email protected] mail list, an article posted in Illinois goes to [email protected], etc. More information, including subscribe and unsubscribe instructions for the mail lists can be found at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/link.php?id=2339. Acknowledgements The actual submitter of any news article can be found on the website with the article. Under the title of the article is a by-line, which shows the chosen user name of the contributor. When an article is submitted to the site, an email automatically goes out to the appropriate mail lists and subscriber list. These articles are sent to the list from the administrative email address for the Newspaper Abstracts website, which is [email protected] This is NOT the email address of the actual contributor of the news article. To view and/or contact the actual contributor of the article, you will need to follow the link in the email message to the Newspaper Abstracts website. Newspaper Abstracts Registered Members The Newspaper Abstracts website allows visitors to register for a free account. Once registered, the member can choose to subscribe to a specific county and/or state. By subscribing, the member is notified each time a new article is added to the county and/or state that the member subscribed to. To unsubscribe, the member only needs to return to the main page for the county and/or state that they are receiving notifications from and click on unsubscribe. Alternately, a registered member can log in at the site and go to 'Options', then go to 'Manage Subscriptions'. This area will list all county, state and/or specific article pages that you have subscribed to and allow you to unsubscribe from there. A new feature for registered members provides you with another place to post your research information. Under your profile, you can now list items such as your family history web page, surnames you are researching, along with a limited amount of research information. You can set your account to receive private messages as well as have your own guestbook. You may turn these options on or off in your profile setting. The advantage of registering with the site and accepting private messages is in the ability to have others contact you without giving out your email address, thereby reducing the amount of unwanted messages.

Once a member has posted a number of appropriate posts, whether as comments, guestbook submissions or article submissions, their account is manually upgraded to a contributor account and their posts are no longer held pending administrator approval, though all postings are still reviewed and subject to removal if not deemed appropriate for the site.

O.B. STONE, Mr. Franklin HAMILTON to Miss Alice TRAVIS. JOCKEY CLUB. – Quite a number convened at the court-room on Tuesday evening last, to organize a Jockey Club. A lively interest seemed to be taken in the matter, several citizens taking hold of the matter, with an apparent determination to carry it through. Messrs. A.H. ALLEN, J.D. HAVENS, B.J. WHITTIER, A.W. CHEW, Geo. HELLER, Rufus MURPHY, B.J. SALSBURY and W.H. Clark were appointed to select sit for a track, find its probable cost and report at a meeting to be held this evening. FIRE COMPANY. – A fire Company was finally organized at the court-room on Monday evening last. Thirty members were enrolled, a Constitution adopted, and the following officers chosen; - Foreman, W.C. GRAY; First Assistant W.H. SHREVE; Second Assistant C.A. PERKINS; Secretary John AMES; Treasurer, J.W. ACKERSON. The organization is designated as Redwood City Fire Company No. 1, and holds its regular meetings on the first Monday in every month, a 7 o’clock P.M. ESCAPE FROM THE COUNTY JAIL On Sunday Evening last, William MOONEY, the prisoner of whom we spoke last week, effected his escape from the County Jail. It has been the habit hithero, during the day time to let prisoners have the liberty of the jail, that is, to let them out into the main room, locking them in cells at night. This was the course pursued towards Mooney. On Sunday Evening, at about seven o’clock, Mr. AMES, the jailor, took MOONEY his supper, which he left him eating, while he went for his own. In about half an hour, AMES returned to the jail, and found that his prisoner had fled, having escaped through the back door, and over the wall of the jailyard. From the best judgment we can form of the matter, it seems that Mooney must have got hold of a small bar of iron, and during the day forced the lock of the back door, then when the Sheriff came had it all nicely closed, so as not to attract attention, and as soon as again left alone, it being then dark, made good his escape. The door! nears evidence of having been opened in this manner. The escape of this prisoner has created considerable feeling and excitement in some quarters, on account of the desperate character of the man, and the inhuman manner in which the offence with which he was charged, was committed. Much fault is found with Mr. AMES, and we have heard one man even go so far as to charge him with having been bribed to let him go. We think such an idea wholly erroneous, - it would take very strong proof to convince us that there was a particle of evil intention on the part of Mr. AMES in the whole transaction. He is not the man who would intentionally suffer such an escape, even for pay. Yet we are not the apologist of the Under Sheriff, and do not think him wholly blameless in the matter. But his greatest fault has been an over confidence in human nature, and a fear of putting too much restraint on an unconvicted prisoner. He was frequently cautioned against this man, as a desperate fellow, and urged to keep him in irons. But MOONEY put ! on a pitiful face, and talked as if he liked his quarters, and would not run away, even if the doors were left open. In view of his apparent quietness, and of the fact that he had not yet been tried, he was treated with the same lenity as if there for the most trivial misdemeanor, and when an opportunity occurred, he took advantage of it. Our jail is none the safest, although much better than we used to have, and when a man of his stripe gets in there, our jailors cannot be too cautious in providing for his safe keeping. The Sheriff has offered a reward of fifty dollars for the arrest of MOONEY, and two Deputies have been in search of him during this week, but as yet without success. He had on when he left dark pants and vest, old shoes, and black slouched hat, is about five feet seven inches high, dark hair and whiskers – can be readily distinguished by a deep cut on the upper lip; has also a deep cut on one of his fingers. Any person who may arrest him will not only receive the regard, but will also perform an act of great justice to humanity; as we believe him, though a coward, one of the greatest villains in the State. FIRE IN MARYSVILLE. – A fire on D street, Marysville, on Thursday, burned the tannery of Mr. REDMAN. Loss $4000 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
