Crutcher, Mrs. R.J. Nugent and other news items Article Text: The Evening Bee Sacramento, Cal. Tuesday, July 17 1906 Page 7 Badly Burned in Buck's Bar Fire PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.), July 17 - A fire originated in the house of James AHART at Buck's Bar, which resulted most seriously. When the flames were discovered they had gained such headway that they were soon beyond control and all effort to save the burning building or contents proved futile. James AHART, aged 72 years, was badly burned before he could be rescued from the building, as also was the 6-year-old son of George S. AHART, who was asleep in the room when the fire started. Both were badly burned about the face and legs, and are in a critical condition. It is supposed that the children left a candle burning, and the wind, blowing the curtain against the candle, set it on fire, the flames from which spread very rapidly through the building. Red Bluff Man in Howell Estate Suit NAPA (Napa Co.), July 17 - The hearing of the fraud charges in the estate of Hattie M. HOWELL, deceased, was up again in the Superior Court here this morning. Captain J.W. HOWELL, it will be recalled, alleges that Albert D. CHARLES, a son of the dead woman, and a resident of Red Bluff, conspired with a member of the firm of Holt & York to defraud him by persuading him to sign away his right of administration for $1000. This morning Theodore A. BELL took the stand and denied in total the allegations of HOWELL, stating that he, and not his brother, as charged, had made arrangements with plaintiff and that the latter fully understood the matter. He agreed to accept $500 in addition to $500 allowed him by the will. W.J. JOHNSON of Red Bluff and BELL represent CHARLES, and A.J. HULL appears for HOWELL. The case is still in progress. Weber Looks to Governor For Aid AUBURN (Placer Co.), July 17 - Adolph WEBER thinks that by bringing all his influence to bear he can induce Governor PARDEE to commute his sentence. He had made up his mind to fight it out on this line, and he is as stubborn and determined about it as he has always been against the insanity plea. WEBER yesterday sent for Lawyer SLADE and engaged him to get rid of Lawyer Grove L. JOHNSON, and papers were filed accordingly. The hearing was set for Monday. WEBER says he does not want JOHNSON, TUTTLE or any other lawyer to ask for a re-hearing before the Appellate Court. He has retained Lawyer TUTTLE to prepare his case before the Governor, as he deems that is his only hope. JOHNSON claims to have been retained by WEBER's guardian. Another phase of the murder case was argued in the Superior Court yesterday. Attorney PULLEN, for John ADAMS, maintained that ADAMS was still WEBER's guardian, and would be until next October, a year after WEBER had become of age. He argued that WEBER was civilly dead, and had been ever since his conviction, and as such could only do those acts provided for in the Statutes. WEBER seeks to dismiss ADAMS as his agent. Must Hang For Murder of Wife NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), July 17 - At 10 o'clock next Monday morning William J. TREBLICOX will be brought into Court, before Superior Judge NILON, to be resentenced to be hanged for wife murder. Such was the order issued by Judge NILON yesterday to Sheriff WALKER. TREBLICOX is now confined in San Quentin, where he has been since an appeal was taken by his attorneys in the case. Recently the Supreme Court delivered an opinion sustaining the decision of Judge NILON. There is no hope left for the condemned man unless the Governor intervenes, which he is not likely to do. TREBLICOX killed his wife in cold blood in Grass Valley over a year ago. Details of the killing have already appeared in The Bee. At the same time TREBLICOX also attempted the life of his wife's cousin, Charles ALLEN, sending a bullet through his thigh. Auto Alarms Horses and Stage Is Upset TRUCKEE (Nevada Co.), July 17 - Last night Albert STREET, who drives a stage between Truckee and Sierraville, came very near losing his life as a result of his four-horse team taking fright at an automobile owned by Arthur DAVIES. STREET was on his return trip to this place when he met DAVIES on the Prosser Creek hill. At this particular point there is a sharp bend in the road, and DAVIES, coming at a high rate of speed, ran on the team before he could stop his machine. The leaders turned around in the road, upsetting the stage and throwing the driver beneath the vehicle. STREET had seven passengers in charge and how they escaped without a scratch is a puzzle. STREET is badly injured about the legs. Log Broke His Legs RED BLUFF (Tehama Co.), July 17 - Walter D. COYNE, employed as logger at Lyonsville, where the Sierra Lumber Company sawmills are located, had both legs broken by being caught beneath a heavy log which rolled from the top of a truck.

COYNE was taken to the Company's hospital, where it was found that he had sustained numerous fractures on both legs below the knees. Second Wife Makes Plea For Bigamist RENO (Nev.), Miss Emma PETRIE, the second wife of Bigamist William B. YATES, arrived here from Oakland yesterday and to-day went to Carson to interview members of the Board of Pardons and to consult counsel regarding a pardon for her deceiver, who was sentenced to a year in prison but two weeks ago. Miss PETRIE, although YATES married her knowing that he had a living wife, says she expects to remarry him as soon as he is liberated and can obtain a divorce from his first wife. She is a young woman and formerly lived in San Francisco. YATES' father, a prosperous Oregon lumberman, is here from Portland to also appear before the Board of Pardons, which is to hold another meeting on August 15. Rig Stolen DIXON (Solano Co.), July 17 - A horse and buggy was stolen Sunday from a hitching rack in this town, where it had been left by the owner, Peter TIMM, Jr., a farmer who resides about six miles from Dixon. TIMM had left his rig only a short time before it disappeared, and he thought it a joke played on him by some of his friends. It was late yesterday afternoon before he realized that his property had been stolen. He reported the matter to the local officers. No trace can be had of the missing rig further than a report that two men were seen driving very rapidly with an outfit answering the description of the stolen rig in a southerly direction at about 10 o'clock Sunday night. Killed by Log AUBURN (Placer Co.), July 17 - William HERRMAN was killed in the Reed Lumber Company's logging camp at Emigrant Gap yesterday by a log rolling on him.

Page 6 Claims He Secretly Wed Miss Loveless MARYSVILLE (Yuba Co.), July 17 - The verdict of the physicians who conducted the autopsy in the case of Miss Nora LOVELESS, whose sudden death was mentioned in last night's Bee, is that internal hemorrhage caused her short-lived illness and demise. The remains were shipped to Oroville last night for burial. Deceased was a native of Kansas and 23 years of age. The post-mortem examination was made at the request of the relatives of the young woman. A peculiar side of the case is that a young man named J.W. KISTER called at the Morgue yesterday and asked to see the remains of his wife. As the physicians were holding the autopsy he was told to call at 1 p.m., but instead of returning he took the 2 p.m. train for Palermo. In the face of this, the relatives of the young woman deny that she was married. The young man stated that they were married secretly owing to the objections of his parents, who are wealthy and did not want him to marry until he is 21 years of age. As a matter of fact the postmortem proved that the young woman was enceinte, and that the hemorrhages which produced death were the result of an irregularity with one of the organs playing an important part during the early stages of that condition. There is no hint of suicide. Mrs. John McKinley dies at St. Luke's YUBA CITY (Sutter Co.), July 17 - Mrs. Wallace PLASKETT received a telegram yesterday from San Francisco stating that her aunt, Mrs. John McKINLEY, died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning in the city.

First Woman of Year on Mt. Shasta's Top SISSON (Shasta Co.), July 17 - The first woman to reach the summit of Mt. Shasta this season is Miss Jessie PAGE, who is visiting her aunt, Mrs. L.B. OSBORN, of this place. There were four in the party, two young men and two young women. L.H. OSBORN, cousin to the young woman, was one of the party. Only two succeeded in reaching the Summit - Miss PAGE and Mr. METCALF - while Mr. OSBORNE and Miss MOON could only make Thumb Rock, three-quarters of a mile from the summit. The trip to Shasta's summit is one that severely tries the endurance of any one, and while the number of women that make the attempt each season is numbered by the score, yet the percentage that get to the top is about one out of every twenty that start. Has Diphtheria GREENVILLE (Plumas Co.), July 17 - A case of diphtheria is reported here in the family of Mrs. Jessie BONNIE.

He was humanely conveyed to Ashland, Oregon, that being the nearest point at which surgical or medical attention could be obtained. Arriving at Ashland, the officials of that Oregon city, learning that COATS has been injured in California, would have nothing to do with the case and would not summon physicians to give first aid. On the contrary, the human sufferer was bundled aboard a southbound passenger train with orders that he be conveyed to Yreka, "where he belonged." COATS, still unconscious, arrived in Yreka Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, and was promptly attended to by Dr. COLLAR, who did not stop to inquire about the geography of the place where the injury had been received. He found that COATS' skull had been fractured and should have received attention at the earliest possible moment. Over twelve hours of precious time had been lost in passing the sufferer over the State line, back and forth. All was done for COATS that could be done, but he died in the County Hospital at Yreka yesterday afternoon. Carl COATS had been employed all Summer at Hilt in the lumber yard. He was a young man of steady habits. His home was in Monmouth, Oregon, in the State whose officials are more particular about the geography of a State line than they are about relieving human suffering.

A double team belonging to the Western Pacific became frightened at an automobile and dashed headlong down the street.
