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!
