Sunday, April 22, 1906 Page 3 SACRAMENTO MAN KILLED BY TRAIN Failed To Turn Aside In Time And Is Hurled To Death, Companion Escaping By A Quick Jump WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), April 22 - Charles WHITNEY, of Sacramento, was killed near Swingle's Station last night, and J. PRIESTER, of Davisville, narrowly escaped a similar fate. WHITNEY and PRIESTER were in a buggy, the former driving. It is said he had been drinking. At any rate, he paid no attention to a warning of his companion that a train was approaching. PRIESTER jumped in the nick of time. The train struck the buggy, smashing it to splinters and killing WHITNEY and the horse. It happened that Clyde GRIFFIN was on the train and a witness to the accident. He took charge of WHITNEY's body and had it brought here, where it was turned over to Coroner KITTO. Claims Hogged by the First Comers VIRGINIA (Nev.), April 22 - Many persons are returning to this city from the scene of the sensational gold strikes in the Ramsay district. Hundreds of locations were made, but the best ground is said to have been taken by the Ramsey-Fletcher and the other combinations that got in early. The Ramsey-Fletcher crowd alone made 128 locations and three others took up nearly 200 claims. Prospectors who went in and could find no ground to locate are talking strongly about claim-hogging. The district is said to be good. The ore strongly resembles that in the Olinghouse district. Grew New Foot GARDNERVILLE (Nev.). April 22 - Several weeks ago a steer belonging to Edward TRIMMER, of Diamond Valley, lost its foot in a fence wire. It continued to walk about on the stump and finally a section of the bone came off, leaving a padded foot somewhat similar to that of a dog. The foot is not a hoof but is heavily padded and well rounded. The matter has attracted much attention and a number of students of science have gone out to look at the animal. Burns Prove Fatal RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), April 22 - Death has finally relieved the sufferings of Miss Minnie TIERNEY, who was burned last Tuesday while assisting her mother to burn brush at their home at the Bend. She was about 20 years of age, and her untimely taking off has caused much sorrow. Two Ranches Sold WINTERS (Yolo Co.), April 22 - Two important sales of real estate in this section took place last week. The CANNEDY ranch of 1400 acres has been purchased by Judge F.C. CLIFT and W.A. CANNEDY for $25,000, which is only at the rate of $17.50 an acre. The GOODYEAR ranch, formerly owned by the German Savings Society, has been sold to F.W. WILLIS. It contains 320 acres. Found Dead COLUSA (Colusa Co.), April 22 - The inquest held on the remains of the dead man found near the P.W. CLIPP ranch, on lower Grand Island, Thursday, failed to reveal his identity.

HUSBAND SOOTS WIFE'S FRIEND Only Shot To Injure, But Wound Is Likely To Prove Fatal - Woman Seems Indifferent RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), April 22 - Several days ago The Bee told of the trouble between Thomas LANGDON and his wife, due to the attentions paid to the woman by Charles BARLEY. LANGDON, it will be recalled, found his wife and BARLEY in a buggy last Monday and in a rage tore her hat from her head and rent it to ribbons. After that the trouble was renewed at the Sheriff's office. Then LANGDON went home and a day or two after his wife and BARLEY started for the place. Sometime Friday night, BARLEY was shot by LANGDON at the latter's home, twelve miles west of here, and it is thought he will die. LANGDON was arrested and is now in jail. He says he shot to wound and not to kill. The sympathy of the public appears to be with him. The woman appears indifferent to the whole affair. Made to Work MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), April 22 - Marysville's Fire Department Chief, her well-known policeman, C.J. McCOY, and Claude PHIPPS, a Yuba City editor, "took orders" in San Francisco yesterday and at the point of a bayonet removed a large pile of brick from one of the streets. In this work they were assisted by W.T. HENN, a well-known Oroville merchant, and S.E. WILCOXON and son, of Yuba City. The party had gone to San Francisco in search of relatives, and were riding to Golden Gate park in a wagon, when a soldier caused them to alight and go to work. There was an exhibition of passes, stars, and other passports, but to no avail. Not until the street was cleared of the brick were they permitted to continue their journey. House Was Moved BALLS FERRY (Shasta Co.), April 22 - Mrs. C.J. BALL, who recently moved from this place to San Jose, has written to friends here that her new home in San Jose was moved three feet by the earthquake, but she escaped all harm.
