There is a baby (actually a premature birth) girl listed in the Sac Old City Cemetery on July 11 1875, the daughter of Henry Eugenia. I have been unable to find a listing in the Union or Bee on that date. I am wondering if this was actually a daughter of my ggrandfather, Henry Eugene. We do not know when he started using the name Eugene, and this may have been an earlier form. We know this was not his birth name. Any ideas on how to find more information on this baby? Does the County Recorder have records that old? Also, the Cemetery list states that she is in tier 27 1/2 grave 29. Any ideas on how to find this in the cemetery? Betty

The Daily Record-Union Sacramento, Cal. Tuesday, June 29, 1886 Sudden Death Yesterday morning Mrs. Pauline CROWNER, a colored woman about fifty years of age, was taken ill while walking in the vicinity of Eighth and M streets, and, entering Mrs. Mary S. COWGUR's carpet weaving establishment, she requested the privilege of sitting down for a while. She explained that she was liable to attacks of asthma, and asked to be given some hot water, in order that she might inhale the steam, as that course of treatment usually gave her relief. Some water was procured but it had scarcely been brought, when she fell over gasping. A physician was sent for, but before he arrived she was dead. A post mortem examination made later in the day showed that death resulted from enlargement of the heart. The Coroner will hold an inquest in the case this afternoon. Deceased was married, her husband residing in Virginia City, but she had been living in Sacramento for some time in the family of Geo. W. BOOTH, Sixth street, between M and N. Police Court In the Police Court yesterday the case of Wing Chee, for burglary was continued until July 3d....Henry GILBERT's case of vagrancy went over until the 12th of July....The cases of Chas WETZEL and Wm. SHERLOCK, accused of battery, were dismissed, and the costs taxed against the prosecuting witnesses....John McCABE, arrested for having been drunk, forfeited his deposit....Wm. SHEAR, for carrying concealed weapons, was fined $2.50....Charles WOODS was convicted of vagrancy, and will receive judgement to-morrow....Twelve men arrested by officers McCORMACK and SULLIVAN Sunday night for sleeping in railroad cars were convicted and ordered to appear at 1 P.M. for judgement. Meanwhile they were allowed to go on their own recognizance, and, as there was no one holding them, they quietly moved out of town. Brought Here for Interment The funeral of Mrs. Laura CULVER took place from the residence of Dr. CLAYTON Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Deceased was formerly well-known in Sacramento. Of late years her home has been in Tuscarora, Nevada. A few weeks ago she went to Adrian, Michigan, to visit relatives. One afternoon while she and a lady friend were out driving, the horses became frightened and ran away. Both ladies were thrown out, and Mrs. Culver was so severely injured that she died in four days. Her wish had always been to be buried in the Sacramento cemetery, so Mr. Culver brought her remains here. The floral emblems placed on the casket by loving hands in the East had faded ere they reached this city, but were replaced, and they, with many others, hid the grave and left only a mound of flowers. The Klein Murder About the only subject of conversation upon the streets of the city yesterday was that of the Sunday night homicide. The large number of extra papers issued by the Record Union containing the interesting statement of Miss Weizel met with ready sale and were exhausted long before noon. That statement, one of the most cool and remarkable on record, was discussed from every conceivable standpoint. A reporter called at the city prison last evening and visited Miss Weizel in her cell. She said she did not sleep any Sunday night, had been quite ill yesterday forenoon, and looked pale and somewhat careworn. She greeted the reporter with a pleasant salutation, and said she was quite comfortable. She had received a call from both her father and mother during the day. She asked many questions about the deceased, especially regarding the post mortem. At the close of the conversation, which was brief, she said: "It's really too bad, isn't it? But then I don't regret what I have done in the least. He is better off than I am, my condition considered." The inquest will be held at the Coroner's office this evening. A post mortem examination was made yesterday, which showed that the bullet entered the back of the head, ranged forward, struck against the forehead and bounded back into the brain. The skull was shattered badly. A reporter stepped yesterday into the gunsmith store where Miss Wiezel purchased the pistol she used, and made some inquiries, which developed the fact that some weeks ago she visited the place and expressed a wish to purchase such a weapon. Mr. ECKHARDT, the gunsmith, expressed surprise, and she said her brother was going into the mountains and she wanted to make him a present. After selecting a pistol, she requested him to load it, and, when he doubted the advisability of doing so, said it would look better if her present was given in condition ready for use. Last Saturday morning she called at the store again and asked to change the weapon for another, and selected and "Indian bulldog." John SPICER, who has a watermelon ranch of ten acres near Bryte's milk dairy, above Washington, promised J.H. CORBIN that he would send him a ripe melon before any were in the market, and yesterday he redeemed his promise. His "fruit" is so far advanced that he will ship several hundred to-day. Though several boats were out yesterday searching for the body of Charles LIGHT, who was drowned at the mouth of the American river on Sunday, it has not yet been recovered. Two divers have been engaged to search for the body, and will begin this morning. The river at the place where he was drowned is twelve feet deep. L.F. SHEPHERD announces a reward of $50 for the body's recovery. William E. CARPENTER, familiarly known as "Lige" Carpenter, an old resident of Washington, was examined by the Commissioners of Lunacy on Sunday and committed to the Asylum at Stockton to which institution he was taken by Deputy Sheriff KARCHER yesterday morning. Sunday night, while confined in the County Jail he was very violent. He has been confined in the asylum heretofore. H.C. FRASIER, who has been on the coast many years as representative of the Westinghouse Air-Brake Company, left for Burlington last evening to attend, as representative of the Westinghouse Company, the meeting of the committee appointed some time since by the Convention of Master Car Builders, to test the workings of automatic brakes of various patents and designs. He will be absent about six weeks.

The Daily Record-Union Sacramento, Cal. Monday, June 28, 1886 HOMICIDE JACOB KLEIN SHOT DOWN IN THE PLAZA LAST NIGHT Statement of Miss Feaney Wiezel, Who Fired the Fatal Shot The entire city was thrown into a state of excitement about 9 o'clock last night, when the news spread quickly throughout the town that Jacob KLEIN, one of the cornet players of the First Artillery band had been murdered in the Plaza. The band of which he was a member was engaged in giving a public concert on the Plaza, and the grounds contained some two thousand or more people, men, women and children. Just before the band played the last piece, "Home, Sweet Home," Klein, who had an engagement to play at another place, was excused, and just as he was leaving the grounds at the southwest gate, a pistol shot was heard, and Klein fell dead. Hundreds of people immediately gathered around his prostrate form, and the air was full of all kinds of rumors. Some that he was shot by a man, others that a woman did the shooting, others that it was an accidental shot, and still others that it was a case of suicide. The body was picked up and taken into GOGING's drug store, afterwards to the Coroner's office, where it was ascertained that he had received a pistol SHOT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD "That had caused instantaneous death. The large concourse of people immediately scattered for their homes, and the wild rumors spread with amazing rapidity. Those standing near the man when he was shot had recognized the woman who had done the shooting, and officers were immediately informed, who went to her residence at the southwest corner of Ninth and M streets, where she was found, arrested, and taken to the city prison. When the news was broken to the father and mother, at their residence, No. 605 K street, they were nearly distracted with grief. Jacob was their pride and joy, a young man who had just passed his twenty-first birthday, and who had but just entered upon a manhood full of promise. The mother, as soon as the news that her son was wounded was told to her, immediately exclaimed that she knew Miss Wiezel had committed the act, "for she told me yesterday that she would kill him." THE GIRL'S STATEMENT. When the officers arrived at the young lady's residence, they found that she was expecting their visit and was ready to accompany them. She handed over the weapon that had done its bloody work - a small murderous-looking five-chambered pistol, with one cartridge exploded. Her coolness seemed to paralyze the arresting officers, and her glibness of speech in detailing the incidents of the bloody work paralyzed even the reporters when they were admitted to her presence in the private office of the Chief of Police at the Station-house. She was found sitting in a chair, in conversation with Chief DILLMAN, officers ASH and SULLIVAN, City Attorney HART and Police Judge HENRY. Three reporters completed the party. Miss Feaney WIEZEL is twenty years of age, was born in this city; tall, handsome of form and features, and of very pleasant address. She was very neatly attired in a dress of dark blue material, HER FACE BORE A PLEASANT SMILE, And but for a slightly finished and an excited expression of the eyes, no trace of the fearful tragedy that had just been enacted, of which she was the principal actor, was in the least noticeable. When asked her name, for fear the reporters would get it spelled wrong, she took one of their books, and in a splendid hand, not the slightest tremor noticeable in a single letter, wrote Miss Feaney Wiezel. When Judge Henry came into the room she looked up and remarked, "Are you astonished at this?" "I really am," replied the Judge. "Well, I shouldn't think you would. You know I told you that if he would not marry me I would kill him." "Yes," said the Judge, "you told me that and told the same thing to others, but I did not think you would do it." After a few preliminary questions by the officers and the reporters, Miss Wiezel related the following statement, which has been much abridged, but is preserved as nearly as possible in her own language. She said: About two months ago I bought a pistol INTENDING TO MAKE KLEIN MARRY ME. He had wronged me; he knew it, and I was going to make him right that wrong, so far as a marriage ceremony could do it. I did not care whether he lived with me or not. It was not for that purpose that I wanted him to marry me, but it was intended to save my character so far as such a proceeding would go toward doing so. We did not love one another, I am sure; yet it was the only way I saw out of the disgrace he had brought upon me. My first intention was not to shoot him, but to intimidate him, and if that did not succeed, then to use it as I have done. The pistol I first bought is not the one I did the shooting with. That was a bright nickel-plated one. It glittered in the dark, as I noticed on several occasions in my bedroom. Saturday I went to ECKHARDT's gun store, where I bought it, and exchanged it for the blue or dark-colored one, which I gave up to the officers. I was afraid the bright one would attract attention and be taken away from me. I made the exchange after Klein had positively refused to make any reparations - that is, marry me, that is all I asked - which he did on K street, between Fifth and Sixth, on Saturday. I said to him "I have just received my answer and understand that you have firmly decided not to marry me." He replied, saucily, "Yes, you need NEVER RECOGNIZE ME AGAIN Anywhere," and laughed and crowed over my condition in my face. I said, "See here, Jake, I will be revenged." He said, "Yes, you will but you haven't sand enough to shoot. You won't do it. If I wait for you to kill me I will live a thousand years." He said if I ever recognized him again on the street, or any place else, he would kick me in the ----. He dared me to injure him. I did not want him to live with me, but I thought he ought to marry me - simply to hide my disgrace. He said, to say no more to him about it, and declared that if he was a millionaire, even, he would not help me in the least. He had no feeling for me, and under those circumstances why should I have any for him. I hope this sad experience will be a lesson to other young men. Our conversation on Saturday was after our talk with Judge Henry, and in which he had positively refused to do anything. While we were in the presence of Judge Henry his every act was that of a coward, and when the Judge left the room for a moment to talk with the City Attorney he got up and opened the door, and acted as if he was AFRAID I WOULD HURT HIM. I told him he was a coward. I had promised not to come armed, and I did not; I kept my word. If I had not I might have injured him upon that occasion. He exhibited no more feeling for me upon that occasion than he would for a dog. I have known him since he was a child. About two weeks before the Turner masquerade, which I think was in the latter part of February, I met him at Thirteenth and J streets, about twilight, where I had gone to visit my sister-in-law. It was near dusk, and I was going home. He said, "Hello, Phene; where are you going?" I replied, "I'm going home." He said, "May I walk with you a little ways?" I said, "Yes, if you can behave yourself." He then said, "Let us walk up J a couple of blocks, and then down I street," to which I assented. We had kept company before, and were at one time engaged to be married, but the engagement had been broken. HE WANTED ME TO MAKE UP And renew our engagement. This I stoutly refused. He got jealous of me every time I went to a dance, if I danced with others, and I had fully made up my mind to have nothing more to do with him, and plainly told him so. As we were walking through the Grammar School lot he tripped me with his foot, struck me in the breast, knocked me down against the fence and accomplished my ruin. In the struggle I had my shoulders and breast bruised, and my face considerably scratched. I resisted and upbraided him and told him he would live to be sorry for his brutal act. Young KUEHLER, a brother to a brother-in-law of mine, came along at this time, and accused Klein of having dealt foully with me. Klein took the boy to one side, and held a private conversation with him for a moment, then ran off and left me. Yesterday when he met me, TAUNTED ME WITH MY SHAME And said he was revenged for my making him jealous. I was determined and fully made up my mind to be revenged somewhere and somehow. This evening after I had finished washing the dishes, I slipped on an old overdress over this one, put on a shawl and a large hat, and started for the plaza, before reaching which I cocked the pistol, and carried it in my hand. I was guided by the pieces, and knew about the time the concert was nearly through. Jake never plays "Home, Sweet Home." When they got down to that I entered the plaza by the southwest gate and edged my way through the crowd toward the music-stand. When about half way I met him face to face. Our shoulders almost touched as we passed, but neither spoke; don't know whether he recognized me or not. I immediately turned and followed him, and when near the gate raised the pistol on a level with the back of his head, about two feet distant, and fired. There was a flash, a report, and HE LAY DEAD AT MY FEET. I did not attempt to shoot again, for I was confident he was dead. I felt awful sorry when I saw him fall, but then I am not at all sorry for what I have done. My folks knew nothing of my going to the Plaza to kill him; although I have frequently told him and others that I would revenge my wrongs. Immediately after the shot was fired, a man who was standing near, said, "There is the lady that did the shooting." I said, "Yes, sir; that man took my character, and I have taken his life." I have heard it said that Klein's folks have threatened to kill three of my family IF I KILLED THEIR SON. On my return home after the shooting I said to my mother, "I have killed Klein. I am now willing to become a mother, but was not until the man's eyes were closed in death, who is the father of my child." I have won my part. I never fired a shot before in my life, and am a little surprised at my success at the first attempt. I have no lawyer; have not given that a thought. I have talked over my troubles with J.N. YOUNG, and had him as an attorney talk to Klein. Every one was coming to me, constantly telling me of scandalous and damaging stories that Klein was circulating about me. He was constantly making nasty, dirty remarks about me, and I would not stand it. I told his mother last week all of my troubles, and tried to prevail upon her to advise her son to do what was right in the matter, but she would not. I then told her that unless he acted in the matter as he should, and saved me the disgrace which he could, I should certainly kill him. He would not - he did not, and - well, HE HAS DUG HIS OWN GRAVE. At this juncture a reporter noticed her right hand, the palm of which was blackened with powder, and called her attention to it. She proceeded to wipe it off with her handkerchief, saying, "It must be powder, for I washed my hands clean just before I left home for the Plaza." Another reporter said: "Some of those present at the Plaza say that you fired two shots." "Oh, get out," she laughingly replied, "there was only one shot fired; if I had fired two shots I would say so. I feel greatly relieved. I know the authorities cannot more than take my life - and a life for a life is a fair exchange, and that is no robbery. The reason I shot him was because he accomplished my ruin by force, and got me enciente." She then related many incidents that had transpired in her unhappy existence; said she fully realized that she had done; that her work was satisfactory; that she was ready to suffer the consequences. She had been utterly and hopelessly ruined, her character taken from her by force, her future life blasted and treated with a contempt and insults which, added to the injury, was more than she could bear. At the close of the interview she bid the callers a pleasant good-night. THE OTHER SIDE On the other side, Klein's friends claim that he was the victim of a deep-laid plot to ensnare him and compel him to marry the girl. In an interview with a friend yesterday, at noon, he said he expected the that he would be shot if he did not marry the girl, but had fully made up his mind to face death rather than wed her. He has detailed the occurrence that happened on the Grammar School grounds to several, to all of whom he claimed that the fact that Kuehler was in the background and came up at the proper time, was evidence to him that he had been trapped. They had set a snare for him and he had been captured. Judge Henry had, at the request of the girl, several talks with Klein, but the latter, on each and every occasion, avowed that he was the victim of a conspiracy, and, knowing such to be the case, he would never submit to being married to the girl. He also to Judge Henry and the City Attorney detailed statements regarding the young lady, which, if true, were sufficient to cause any man to refuse to do as they insisted upon his doing. Last night all kinds of rumors were afloat; and, treating them as rumors, none of them will be referred to in this item. Klein's friends, and he had many of them, seem to be satisfied that he was the victim of a conspiracy, which, when it failed, so wrought upon the feelings of the girl, that in her present delicate condition she was hardly responsible for her acts, and does not now fully realize the gravity of the crime that she has committed. In the interview with the reporters last evening she was several times asked if she fully realized what she had done, and she would invariably reply: "Yes, A life for a life is a fair exchange, and a fair exchange is no robbery. He took from me my character, and I have taken his life. The authorities cannot take from me more than I have deprived him of." THE HARLAN TRIAL The testimony taken in the Harlan case at Woodland Saturday was not important. Rev. W.H. MARTIN testified as to Mrs. Harlan having attended service at the Christian Church on the morning of the homicide, and that the services concluded about 12:30 P.M. John D. STEPHENS bore testimony as to Harlan's good reputation for peace and quietness. Dr. W.W. McFARLANE's testimony was as to the bullet-holes in CRAFT's overcoat, and the wounds he had received. Also, relative to muscular contractions and relaxations after death. W.S. McFARLANE saw Harlan and BARNES go into the hotel before the shooting, but did not notice that either of them had a pistol. Thought Harlan had both hands in his coat pockets. Coroner KRELLENBERG testified as to where he found the body, the position of a pistol near it, the clothing, etc. The shift and underclothing he burned, as they were very bloody, not thinking they might be required afterwards. Court adjourned until 1:30 P.M. to-day. FUNERAL OF WILLIAM T. BIRD - There was a very large attendance yesterday afternoon upon the funeral of William T. BIRD, the member of the Fire Department whose death was caused by accidental injuries received while he was hastening to a recent fire. The First Artillery Band led the procession, followed by the Fire Commissioners and delegates from the different companies of the Fire Department in uniform. Following where were Confidence Lodge, Knights of Pythias, James Davis Marshal. The Odd Fellows' General Relief Committee came next, with H.F. DILLMAN as Marshal, and after the organizations a long line of carriages containing friends of the deceased. THE WHEAT YIELD - H.M LaRue, who is in town, states that the recent wind storm injured his wheat crop in Yolo county to the extent, he estimates, of 70 per cent. He is now thrashing, and from a section where he should have secured as mush as 1,000 sacks, except for the injury, only about 250 was obtained. Mr. LaRue thinks the damage throughout Yolo was much greater than at first supposed. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL M. ENGEL, manager for ZAMLOCH, the magician, is in town.

The Daily Union Sacramento, Cal. Wednesday, November 11, 1874 Death of an Old Resident - Last evening's Bee had the following concerning Michael FENNELL, who died in San Francisco last Monday: "He came to Sacramento in 1850. The first contract for building a State Capitol building in this city was awarded to Fennell & Nougen, and they dug the trenches for the foundations on the present plaza, Ninth and Tenth, I and J streets. Finding the location too circumscribed the authorities annulled the contract and settled with the contractors. Afterward the city purchased the four blocks upon which the present Capitol building stands, at an expense of $60,000, and donated the land to the State. Fennell also contracted for and laid the foundation on the original State Prison building at San Quentin. Sprained Ankle - A man named D.M. SMITH, a native of Council Bluff, Iowa, but who has been living for some time in the State of Nevada, arrived in the city by yesterday morning's overland freight train. In stepping from the car he sprained his left ankle very severely, and, not having any money, was taken to the station-house for temporary accommodation, but will probably have to go to the hospital. Numerous Canines - If the Poundmaster was in search of dogs to impound, he could not find any better hunting ground than in the vicinity of the court-house, Seventh and I streets, where canines have been so numerous for several days that a man with a scoop-net could gather half a dozen at a haul. The snapping, snarling, fighting and howling indulged in by the animals could only be equaled by a band of starving wolves. Didn't Go - A number of Sacramentans had intended to go down to the Bay to see the great trotting race announced to take place to-day, but as the weather threatened to be stormy, and it was probable that the race would have to be again postponed, there were more Sacramentans returned yesterday, of those that had previously gone down, than there were left the city. Circumcision - The rite of circumcision was performed upon the infant son of L. PHILLIPS (of the firm of S.J. Nathan & Co.) at the residence of the parents on Third street, yesterday forenoon, Rev. Mr. LOEWENTHAL officiating. Many friends of the family were present, and at the conclusion of the ceremonies a splendid collation was served. Substantial Garments - The observed of all observers in the city nowadays is Mayor GREEN, who has achieved a new suit of clothes, manufactured of genuine Irish frieze - an article of such lasting qualities that in the old country a suit of it descends from father to son for two or three generations, and finally is used in place of lace window curtains. Forgery, Also - Charles Morgan MUYGRIGGE, recently arrested for sheep-stealing, yesterday had a charge of forgery entered against him also, it being alleged that he forged the name of Justin GATES to a note of Angus MARTIN, of the International Hotel, instructing the latter to give Muygrigge board and lodging at this (Gates') expense. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN - In the register of deaths in this issue of the Union will be found that of Isaac FRY, an old and highly respected citizen of the county. The suddenness of Fry's death caused quite a shock both to his intimate friends and to the community at large. What the precise nature of the disease was with which he died, we presume is not known, as no post-mortem examination of the body was made. It is probable, however, that it was some organic derangement of the heart. He had, we understand, been subject for many years to violent attacks in the form of night-mare. He was particularly liable to these on lying down and going to sleep after having taken violent exercise. On the Monday prior to his death he suffered from a severe attack, which came on not while he was asleep but while he was engaged in, or just after he had been in, some very violent exercise. On this occasion life seemed to be extinct, and it was only by the most vigorous rubbing of his body and the application of the most pungent restoratives that, after the lapse of some two hours, he was saved from actual death. From this time till his death, on the following Sunday, he seemed despondent and to be in apprehension of another attack. At the time of the attack which carried him off, he had gone into the orchard to get a bucket of apples. His hard breathing after he had fallen to the ground was heard by MANNING, his friend and partner, who hastened to him as soon as he could. Though still alive, and in a posture as if attempting to get up, when he got there, he did not speak, but almost instantly sank back dead. Fry was one of our best and most enterprising citizens, and his sudden death, in the very vigor of manhood, will be mourned not only by his family and most intimate friends, but by the community at large. - [Yreka Union, Nov. 7th THE TERRITORIES Seven hundred polygamists are said to have become citizens through perjury in the past six months in Utah. The first number of the Utah Scandinaw has made its appearance at Salt Lake. S.J. JONASSON is editor-in-chief. The survey has been completed for the Colorado Central Short Line into Denver, and the profile for the grading prepared. The sheep owners of the Little Colorado and tributaries, Arizona, have taken their flocks to New Mexico or some other country, in order to get rid of paying county and territorial taxes. The Helena, Montana, Independent says: "The Trapper quartz district gives promise of being the best in Montana. At present the indications are that several of the lodes will prove permanent, and that millions of money will find its way down Willow creek." A Walla Walla woman wants a divorce. In her complaint, after alleging that her husband had cruelly treated and deserted her, she avers that the property of the household consists of a double-barreled shot-gun of the value of $20, which she prays the court may be set side as her separate property, and that she may be awarded the custody of the three minor children. Three children and a shotgun - what else could a woman want? The Denver News says: "The infamous work of poisoning whole flocks of sheep down in southern Colorado bids fair soon to arouse a spirit of retaliation on the part of the sheep men. We hear low mutterings of reprisals against such cattle men as are known to be engaged in the diabolical work of poisoning sheep, and there is a prospect that cattle may soon be afflicted with epidemic scourges. Such things are a blot upon our Territory, and should be stopped." Jeff. STANDIFER, an old miner and Indian fighter well known in the Northwest Territories, died at Fort Steele, Wyoming, September 30th. He had been complaining for some time, and was under the impression that the time had come for him to pass in his checks and travel the road over which he had sent many a pesky redskin. Jeff. was a noted plainsman, and his name is as familiar as a household word from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean. He was a great Indian fighter, scout and mining explorer, and has figured very conspicuously in the history of the Rocky Mountains for many years. Snow on the Yosemite Roads - M. HEDGES, with his family, who lived in the valley during the season, returned to Sonora on Saturday night. He left the valley on Wednesday, after a heavy fall of snow. He drove his wagon as far as Tamarac. It was nearly night; the horses were taken out, and the party pushed onto Crane Flat and took up quarters at Gobin's. The next day he went back and got the wagon. Hedges says that the snow was harder to get through on the grade from Crane Flat to Hogdon's than beyond there. It has been demonstrated by parties going over the two routes that the snow is not as bad on the Oak Flat road to Gentry's as it is on the McLean road, notwithstanding the claims that were made as to its being below the snowy belt. Hutchings' stock was driven out by the McLean road, and A. HARRIS went in that way. From these parties it is learned that the snow was more difficult to get through than by the Big Oak Flat was. - [Sonora Democrat, Nov. 7th

The Daily Union Sacramento, Cal. Tuesday, November 17, 1874 CITY INTELLIGENCE What Shall They Do With Him? - About 11 o'clock last night citizens Charles HIBBARD and Joseph KUNA delivered to officer CHAMBERLIN at the station-house a young man who gave his name as Wm. LOVELL. It appears that Mrs. GOVE, who keeps a boarding-house at Eighth and E streets, had been, with her daughter, in bed and asleep about an hour when the noise made by Hibbard, one of the boarders, in entering the house aroused her. Before she fell asleep again she heard loud breathing, apparently beneath the bed, and looking under saw a man! Considerably alarmed she called for help. All the boarders soon presented themselves, and the intruder was conveyed to the station-house, as mentioned above, though on the way he made a strong effort to escape. When the jailer commenced to search him he threw his hands up, without being told, and with such promptness that the officers immediately concluded that the had been in a lock-up before. He appeared to be stupid, possibly from the effects of drink, and scarcely answered questions put to him, though he did intimate that he came up from San Francisco two weeks ago. In reply to the question as to what he was doing beneath the bed, he responded that he knew nothing about it. He had in his pockets $26.75, which showed that he had not been compelled to obtain lodging surreptitiously. He was slightly acquainted at Mrs. Gove's establishment, having taken a meal there with a friend on Sunday, and he also had supper there last evening. Later in the evening Mrs. Gove went out shopping, and while she was absent, the front door being left unlocked for the convenience of the boarders, Lovell doubtless entered and quartered himself where found. The police do not know what charge to make against him, as it does not appear susceptible of proof that he went to the house to steal anything, and besides his appearance and actions are such as to suggest that he either is suffering from delirium tremens or is insane. THIGH BROKEN - A young man named Herman KRIDER, who had been riding with his father on the Riverside road, near Sutterville, Saturday afternoon, while in the act of jumping from the wagon, had his foot caught between the spokes of one of the wheels, and the wagon being in motion, his thigh bone was broken. ROBBED - Sunday afternoon some thief gained entrance to the basement of the building occupied by P. HART & Son as a grocery, and stole eighty or ninety pounds of butter. As a Chinaman had been seen hanging about the premises, it is thought that some one of his nationality appropriated the property. WATER WORKS REPORT - Mark FOSTER, Chief Engineer of the Water Works, reported to the Board of City Trustees yesterday that during the week ending November 15th, 7,267,500 gallons of water were pumped, and 26 5/8 cords of pine wood consumed for fuel. The works were running 92 hours. WILL PLANT - The City Trustees yesterday authorized the Street Commissioner to purchase, at twenty-five cents each, 300 Australian gum trees , to be planted on R and Tenth streets, and also at the Plaza, as a preventive against chills and fever. ARRESTS - The only arrests made yesterday were those of T. HOTCHKINS, by officers DUNLEVY and HARVEY, for being drunk; Charles SYLVESTER, by officer DOLAN, for the petit larceny of a vest, the property of Mrs. SMITH. BRIEF REFERENCE H. WACHHORST returned to the city from the East yesterday. Three car-loads of immigrants arrived yesterday from the East. Owing to the affliction in Judge CANTWELL's family, there was no session in the Police Court yesterday. At Tenth and I streets, about 1 A.M. Sunday, ______ SMITH was garroted by two men and robbed of $30. Philip SCHEID, who met with such a serious accident last Saturday, is doing as well as could be expected. Two healthy vagrant's are going about town calling at residences and requesting a few bits to enable them to leave for San Francisco. Charles CROCKER and D.D. COLTON went up in a special car to Radding yesterday, to inspect a coal mine about thirty miles from that place. W.A. DEWEY, having finished his contract for the construction of a wing-dam above Colusa, has returned with his pile-driving apparatus to Sacramento. At the Branch State Prison grounds yesterday morning two men were seriously injured by the explosion of a blast. A surgeon was summoned from Folsom to attend them. A dispatch from San Francisco yesterday mentioned a rumor that Al COURTWRIGHT, sent from this city, and three other prisoners, had succeeded in breaking out of San Quentin. James H. MOORE, a young man employed as a clerk by the Central Pacific Railroad Company, died at San Francisco Sunday. The remains will be brought to Sacramento for interment to-day. Among the passengers by the Sacramento Valley Railroad down train yesterday afternoon was a lady from near Placerville, who was violently insane, and was being taken by her husband to Stockton. The Sacramento Rifle Club, of which Phil SCHEID is President, did not have their regular shoot day before yesterday, but in a body paid their unfortunate friend a visit at Deterding's, his present quarters. CORONER'S INQUEST Coroner COUNTS had at first decided that it would be unnecessary to hold an inquest in the case of Mrs. CANTWELL, who committed suicide Saturday evening, but on more mature consideration, decided that it was his duty to do so, and accordingly an inquisition was held yesterday afternoon at Judge CANTWELL's house. This interfered with the arrangements made for the funeral, and it had to be postponed until to-day. The following evidence was taken: MISS KATE L. M'MILLEN Testified: Was at home last Saturday evening when my sister was sick; Judge Cantwell told me she had taken strychnine; I saw her a few minutes afterward; she did not deny it; said, "You do not know what I have to contend with;" all she said up stairs was that she and Herbert could not get along; this has been my home since last April; do not know of any further trouble she had with the family; she never confided in any person; she never intimated to me an intention to commit suicide; for several days she had complained of a severe pain in her temples, but on Saturday she said nothing about it, although she had an unnatural color in her face; was not aware of there being any poison in the house - thought I had thrown it all away; she was down town Thursday afternoon; went alone but returned with Herbert in a street-car; she always thought her husband was kind to her, and her last words were that she loved him and that she never expressed a desire for anything that she did not get." DR. A.B. NIXON Testified: On Saturday evening last, about 6 o'clock, I was summoned to see Mrs. Cantwell to consult with Dr. NELSON; when I arrived I found Mrs. Cantwell insensible and in convulsions; I was informed by Dr. Nelson that she had taken strychnine, and that the convulsions were the effect of that drug; he told me that mustard and sulphurate of zinc had been administered as an emetic, but they failed to operate as such; he told me that he had tried to use the stomach pump, but on account of the convulsions and spasms about the throat he had been unable to introduce it into the stomach; I suggested that we could try again to introduce the stomach pump, and after considerable effort we succeed; we pumped warm water into the stomach, as much as it would hold, and then pumped the contents of the stomach out; we repeated this twice, when we concluded that the stomach had been well washed out and emptied of all its contents; chloroform in moderate quantities was administered to keep down spasms, but they continued to occur at intervals until death closed the scene; in my opinion death was caused by strychnine; was present when she died; never knew a case from the effects of strychnine, after unconsciousness caused thereby (similar to this one), to recover, and I have seen many in the course of my practice; this I remarked to Judge Cantwell at the time." DR. H.W. NELSON Testified: I am a practicing physician in this city; Saturday evening H. Cantwell desired me to come up to his father's house immediately and bring a stomach-pump with me, stating the Mrs. Cantwell had poisoned herself - had taken strychnine, and to hurry; I got the stomach-pump immediately, took also my satchel containing medicines, etc., and went to the druggist's (KIRK's) and procured the medicines that I presumed would be needed in the case; when I arrived I found Mrs. Cantwell lying on the bed dressed, surrounded by her mother, sister and husband; I said, "Mrs. Cantwell, I am sorry; why did you do this?" she answered, "Doctor, I am not sick; I don't feel bad." Her husband stated, "Yes she is; she has taken strychnine, I believe." I asked her, "Have you taken strychnine?" She answered, "Yes." "How much did you take, Mrs. Cantwell?" "Don't know, but I think about a teaspoonful." "When did you take it?" Judge Cantwell answered, "About an hour ago." She answered, "Yes." I remarked that if she had taken that about an hour ago it was strange that she was not dead; I brought a stomach pump with me, and, after the conversation, I got it ready and sent for some hot water. I asked the Judge to raise her in order to facilitate the introduction of the pipe or tube of the pump, the water and pump being ready; while attempting to introduce the tube, she took a spasm, and I could not get it down, and was compelled to pour down her nostrils everything that was for some time injected into her stomach; I suggested to Judge Cantwell that we must send for another doctor we sent for Dr. Nixon, and he came immediately; we were compelled to use a spiral instrument to pry her mouth open in order to admit the tube of the stomach pump; when we finally introduced the pump, we washed her stomach but three times, I think, and twice, I am positive; during the spasms we gave her chloroform to shorten them as much as possible; I requested Dr. Nixon to remain with the lady, and he did so; I went down town, and on my return the lady was dead; in my opinion death resulted from poison - strychnine; undoubtedly. W.R. CANTWELL Testified: On last Saturday afternoon I came home about 4 o'clock; she had dinner all ready; I said, "Go on, I will be ready in a moment;" she met me on the porch and kissed me as affectionately as she ever had, and walked out on the porch and took the bottle from her pocket, and I ran out and grabbed the bottle from her and threw it into the stove; she took some out in her hand and threw it in her mouth, and I then asked her if she had taken any of it, and she said, "Yes, I have; and I want some more;" I then took the bottle and threw it in the kitchen stove; last Summer (a long time ago) I bought some strychnine, and I do not know that there was any of it left; I bought it to poison cats with, and did poison the cats with it; I do not know whether this poison or a portion of it was what my wife used, or whether she bought it herself; I never saw the poison since I used it for the cats; I notified her sister at once that she had taken poison; her sister came down perfectly frantic; Gussie tried to pacify her; they came into the house; went up stairs and she threw herself on the bed; she talked to her mother and told her she had done it, and then took off her rings - one, a diamond, she wished given back to her brother (one given her by him). She said she loved me as she loved her own life, and could not live only for me. She and I never had any words at any time; she spoke of Herbert; she and Herbert had some differences; I told her not to mind him, that they must get along together and have a happy home altogether. She did object to my drinking, and that might have been one of the causes that led her to this. She put her hand to a chain that I had given her on out marriage day, and said "give this to Herbert," and our marriage ring she gave to me. "And the balance of my things give to my sister Kate." THE VERDICT The jury returned the following verdict: We, the jury impaneled to inquire into the death of the deceased, do find that Mrs. Gussie M. Cantwell committed suicide in the city of Sacramento, on the 14th day of November, 1874, by taking poison. Signed: W.D. GOODELL, Wm. M. PETRIE, W.A. CHITTENDEN, N.L. DREW, C.C. BROWN, J.L. DONNAILE.

SEYMOUR, President of the Board of Supervisors, which took place yesterday afternoon, was one of the largest that has taken place in the city for several years. The exercises at the house were conducted by Rev. M.C. BRIGGS, and at their conclusion very many of the friends present availed themselves of the opportunity to take a last look upon the features of the deceased. The procession, which was under the Marshalship of Albert HART, consisted of the Odd Fellows' Battalion, in full regalia, under the command of A.E. POWERS; Capitol Lodge No. 87, and Occidental Encampment No. 42, I.O.O.F., and such a large number of friends in carriages that the latter portion of the line had not crossed the R street levee when the advance reached the City Cemetery. The pall bearers were S.W. BUTLER, William ROBINSON, S.M. JACKSON and R.W. LEWIS, of Capitol Lodge; S.S. NIXON and A. HENLEY, of the Encampment; and P.R. BECKLEY and L. ELKUS, of the Board of Supervisors. At the cemetery religious exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr. BRIGGS, and the burial service of the Odd Fellows was read by George B. KATZENSTEIN, Noble Grand, and Ezra PEARSON, Chaplain, of Capitol Lodge, while the funeral ode was sung by the many members of the Order who surrounded the grave. SUICIDE A Prominent Citizen of Oakland Plunges into the Sacramento About 5 o'clock Saturday morning, when the steamer Amador was within a few miles of Sacramento, one of the passengers, who had registered his name as H.A. JOHNSON when he procured a stateroom on the previous evening, jumped overboard. It is stated by a hotel runner, who saw him sitting on the guard rail and solicited his patronage for a Sacramento hotel, that at that time he had his ankles tied with a handkerchief. He did not show any uneasiness or singularities of conduct, and the two men had a conversation of a few minutes. When the runner came back, after having been away a very short time, Johnson had disappeared, but his hat and cane were lying where he had been last seen. The alarm was immediately given, and a number of persons looked anxiously in the wake of the boat to see if the unfortunate man was visible, but nothing could be seen of him. An examination of his room was made, and there was found on his bed three vials, each of which had contained laudanum, a purse containing $8.80 in coin, a pair of spectacles and a pencil case. The hat had pasted inside a piece of paper bearing the name "H.A. JOHNSON, Oakland." There were also found two unsealed notes, one of which, directed "My Dear Wife and Daughter in Oakland," read as follows: STEAMER AMADOR, Room No. 24 SACRAMENTO RIVER, May 19th. To my Dear Wife and Daughter, in Oakland: The time is now arrived for me to take my awful plunge into the river. My brain is on fire. I am now losing my senses fast. I shall commence in a few moments to take the poison, after which I shall jump overboard and hope and trust that my body may never be found. Adieu! adieu! for you have been a good wife to me, and may God bless and protect you both. H.A. JOHNSON, alias B.F.F. P.S. - I wrote to you and some others just before I left San Francisco. Very fortunately for me there is not a single person on board that I have ever seen before. The other note was without address or signature, and read: I wrote to you just before I left the city of San Francisco, also to M.G. and T.M., and my daughter A., and put all those letters in the iron box on the corner of Market street and some other street - the first box you come to on the right side after leaving the Oakland boat, up Market street. On the arrival of the steamer at Sacramento Coroner WICK was notified by Captain FOURATT of the facts, and the effects of the deceased were turned over to him, including a letter addressed, "Mrs. B.F. FERRIS, Oakland," which the suicide had written on the previous evening and handed to the purser of the steamer with a request to him to mail it. This letter the Coroner forwarded to its address. It was subsequently ascertained that the unfortunate man was Judge B.F. FERRIS, of Oakland, one of the founders of the First National Gold Bank of that place, and that he assumed the name of Johnson in order that he might take passage by the steamer and make away with himself without being recognized. He appears to have become embarrassed financially recently, and before leaving San Francisco addressed notes to one or two intimate friends intimating what he intended to do. Friday morning he left his home as usual, remarking that he believed he would remain in San Francisco and attend the theater in the evening, and return home by the last boat. He did not return, however, and as he had not been away from home over night for ten years, his family passed the hours in sleepless anxiety. Early Saturday morning they found in his room his watch, diamond ring and safe key, from which he was never before known to be separated, and the forebodings they entertained were most painful. When Saturday morning's San Francisco mail arrived in Oakland a letter was found from the Judge to his wife and only child, a young lady, containing the sad, crushing words that he would leave on the evening boat for Sacramento, and that he intended to take four ounces of laudanum and throw himself into the river; that he could not survive the losses he had met in stocks, and that his hat could be found on the steamer in the state room of H.A. Johnson. The letter was dated San Francisco, May 19th, 3 o'clock P.M. Judge Ferris came to California in 1850. In 1865 he was elected Mayor of Oakland and has been quite a prominent man there ever since. STORY OF A HEAD-BOARD - Away out on the plains, beyond the "Rockies," on the river Platte, there was a solitary sandy grave, its location marked by a single, simple wooden slab. Through rain and sunshine, summer and winter, the pine board remained pointing out the spot where a stranger's bones lay moldering. That out on the desert, remote from the habitations of men, in a lonely spot, on a desolate plain, some kind heart was moved with the humane impulse to set up a head-board for the fallen unknown, should have been enough to have protected the leveled grave from desecration. Perhaps the same generous impulse secured the dead the honor of a grave, though only scooped out in the sand, with the hands it may have been, and shallow as the soul that would rob the poor sepulcher of its identity. Be that as it may, an emigrant train was delayed a brief time near the spot the other day, and some incoming vandal seized upon the weather-beaten head-board, undeterred by its ghastly inscription, and its ghostly associations, and transferred it to a car, where, laid from one seat to another it served as a bed until the train arrived at Ogden, where he still clung to his prize, transferred it to the Central Pacific cars, and slept on it till the train reached Sacramento, where it was left to the mercy of the car-sweepers. It is some four feet high by fourteen inches wide, and is made of Minnesota pine. One of the upper corners has been knocked off and part of the inscription with it. It was carved by some kind and patient hand, evidently with a common blade, but was cut with much neatness and care, and reads: ___NOWN MAN, ___LED BY INDIANS. Sept. 12, 1874. Whether this unknown man was killed by Indians September 12, 1874, or whether that was the date on which humanity remembered that though unknown, the dead was once a loving man, it is impossible to tell; but certain it is that a few days ago only was the date on which this poor head-board was wrenched from above the bones of the unfortunate by sacrilegious hands. It is full of bullet holes, some being very fresh and some of the leaden messengers yet sticking in them. The pointed end bears the earth stains where it was held beside the fleshless skull of the unknown man. INTERESTING POINTS - M. DIXHEIMER and James CODY, hotel runners, imprisoned for violation of a city ordinance relative to their vocation, were before Judge CLARK on Saturday on a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was issued by the District Court Commissioner, and to this the District Attorney objected, but judge Clark held that the Code authorized such issuance and overruled the objection. The attorney for the prisoners then presented the point that the Board of Trustees - nor any municipal board anywhere - has the right to enact an ordinance to punish for the violation of ordinances by imprisonment for more than ten days. To give the District Attorney time to look into that question the cases were adjourned over until this morning at 9 o'clock. ARRESTS - The following arrests were made Saturday and yesterday: Samuel MAY, by officer TRYON, for disturbing the peace; Ed. DEVINE and Ellen DEVINE, by officer GREEN, for disturbing the peace; Cal. I. FOSS, by officer TRYON, for battery; Maggie MORGAN, by officer DOLAN, for disturbing the peace; Lizzie JENKS, by Deputy Sheriff HARRISON, for being drunk; Joe KELLER, by officer MARTZ, for being drunk; Perry COON, by officer MARTZ and Deputy Sheriff COON, as an escape from the insane asylum; E. STREHLE, by Deputy Sheriff DUBOIS, for disturbing the peace; Barney KIERNAN, alias Dan COFFEE, by officers DOLAN and COFFEE, for battery; John RENO, by officers DOLAN and SHELLARS, for petit larceny.
