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!
