Murderous Assault, and Robbery
or q Safe.

SACRAMENTO. October ga bold
robbery, coupled with attempted murder.
was committed las. night at Arbuckle. q
station on the northern branch Of the
California Pacific Railroad in Colusa
county. The victim Of the assault was
@. ]. Frsese. agent Of the railroad COM
pany and Wells. Fargo i Co.'S express.
Mr. Frsese remained in his office until
such an unusually late hour that his
wife, who was in the house q short dis
lance from the station. became alarmed
at his not returning home. She con.
cluded to walk over to the office, and
did 30. On arriving there she knocked
on the door several times and called to
her husband. whom she supposed had
fallen asleep inside. Obtaining no re-
Spouse to her summons. she endeavored
to open the door. but found that 1t was
locked. She Was then about to return
home, thinking Mr.. Freese might have
gone there during her absence. As she
turned away she heard groans on the in
side OF the Office. and this circumstance
alarmed her to such an extent that she
at ouce summoned several neighbors and
related to them her Tears that something
was wrong. The party promptly pro-
ceeded to the Office. effected an entrance
there. and when they got inside all were
startled and Mortified to discover MIR,
Freess lying insensible on the floor in .
pool Of blood. with Q number OF ugly
wounds on his face and head. Efforts
were made to rouse the unconscious
man, In order that something might bt
learned from him as to how the sffail
had occurred. but these proved ineffect'
ual for several hours. At an early houI
this morning. however. Mr.. Freess re-
covered to such an extent AZ to relate
the particulars. He said that he wal
engaged in writing in the office ill
late last night. While he was thu,
employed two men entered the place
and inquired Of him a. to whethe,
they could not ride on train No. "a
when IL went out in the morning. Mr.,
Freess told them they could not, where
upon they attacked him with sand clubs
and beat him till he was ~insensible,
This 10 ell he knows Of the matter, and
he has no knowledge as to who the par
ties were. Subsequent investigation u
the Office. however. shows that the safe
was robbed OF between $500 and $4,000
In coin-moneys belonging to the rail
road company and Wells. Fargo X Co,
It is evident that the robbery was vel
planned and. beyond doubt. the work o'
old hands at such business. Mr..
Freess's wounds are serious, and 1t will
DO some time before their result can b
ascsrtainsd.

thing to say why sentence should not Be-
passed on him. he replied : "No. only
that man Mcclellan brought me to this.
he swors I stole his horse. didn't do
II. I was innocent, and hs sent me to
San Quentin for nothing" Here Fisher
appeared wrought up to . frenzy oil rage.
and in q tone and manner that expressed
. feeling OF fsndish vengsfulnsss, he
said: "Ths spirits tell me that be will
be burned up In his own house. hope
to Christ no will, and that bis family
will be burned up with him. May the
curse OF God rest on them all" After
tho Judge had pronounced sentence.
Fisher said: Ills It fourteen years for
the whole term. or each case 2" The
Judge replied: Fourteen In each case,
twenty-sight altogether" At this Fisher
seemed for . moment dazed, and a. he
stepped back from the Clerks desk he
muttered. "Tho s. OF . b-l I wish
to Christ I had killed the right man."
He says he expected that the sentence
would be about twelve years In oil. and
asked the Sheriff II anybody had ever
been sent up for 30 long . term, adding
that he would rather It had been for life,
for then he would have q hope Of par
don. He told Sheriff Williams, who
will take him to San Quentin tomorrow.
that il he was going to have Q pistol
with him he had better be on his guard.
"ior by c." said he. ~ shall kill you
II I can" Fisher Is perhaps the worst
villain ever sent from this county.

You going to do to prevents a man doing
what he lawfully may? You will recollect
that the constitution you swore to main
tain provides that every person may speak,

you, but to the law. What are you going
to do about it? Do you propose to send
your second son on an errand of mercy?
Don't. Come yourself"

1t contains one hundred and twenty-sight
pages, devoted to Kalloch's career in Mas
