DANGEROUS WOUND.
The Accidental Shooting OF mrs. Tom
Williams, Jr.
Stockton Mail, July s1st. !

On Wednesday night last DR.. Washing
ton received telephone message from
Union Island, stating that Mrs Williams.
wife OF Thomas II. Williams, Jr. formerly
Susie hcMulln) had shot herself and ap-
peared to be mortally wounded.
The physician drove Immediately to the
Kidd ranch, the scene of the shooting and
found Mrs. Williams surrounded BY her
brothers and husband She was suffering
greatly from the pain Of the wound, and
occasional sushes of blood caUe from her
mouth.
An examination Of the wound showed
that the ball had entered the left breast.
and had passed directly through the body,
lodging near the surface of the back.
Opiates were administered, and the leaden
bullet was extracted with the aid OF the
knife. 1t was found to have split into two
pieces by striking against the shoulder
blade.
The ball passed about three inches above
the heart, and narrowly missed the subclav-
ian artery. Had it severed that artery, the
lady would have bled to deaf n before surgical
aid could have been obtained The ball
passed through the upper portion OF the
left lung. Blood from the torn veins of the
lung collected in the lower lobe causing
hemorrhage from the mouth
Mrs. Williams recently arrived, in COM
pdIl VIII HtI uEOluelS, from N)Sll 10 san
Francisco. She and her husband were in
this city on Wednesday, and drove TO their
home that night.
The pistol was a Smith & Wesson, 32-cal-
iber weapon. Il lay on shell in one of
the rooms of Mr.. Williams residence.
Mrs. Williams picked i; up, ont of curios-
ity, to examine it. She held the pistol in
her right hand With the muzzle pointing
inward. The hammer was haif-cocked,
and with her left hand she turned the cyl
inder. An accidental pressure on the trig-
ger discharged the self-cocking weapon
The wound is dangerous though not
necessarily fatal one The danger lies in
the fact that Inflammation is liable to set
in from the wound itself es the muscles
are badly torn.
The hemorrbage Of the lungs continued
all night ana until o'clock yesterday
morning, when the attending physician \
left the patient A telephone message
from the island states that the hemorrhage
continued all day yesterday and all last
night, though the discharge was slight.
This morning Mrs Williams was resting
comfortably.
Or. Washington left for the island again
this afternoon.
A message from the isl.nd at o'clock
this afternoon stated that the lady was get
ting along first rate.

THE HOP MARKET.
An over-Production-New Crop and Stock
Hand.

An Oyer-PrOduction-Ne Crop and Stock
Hand.
The hop market both in England and
America, is quite duh, and trade continues
TO drag. In New York 10 cents may be
considered the top price for last years
growth. The best California hops are
quoted in the Eastern market at cents
The crop in this section is very light, the
best yards yielding but little more than
half the usual amount. Hop-growers are
discouraged. Some are even thinking of
letting IL .ir crop go without picking, think
ing the production will at present not pay
the cost of labor required 10 pick. care and
bale. Emmet Wells Circular, dated New
York, July 24th, has the following, which
will no doubt prove of interest TO all who
are engaged in the business We can see
no good reason why prices should go still
lower, hops now being considerably below
the cost of production but with a heavy
yield of the new crop. and with little or no
export outlet, the price may run down to 5
cents, or even lower within the next sixty
DAYS in fact, it IS reported OF good author
ity that cents IS all England Is willing TO
pay for our hops to-day. Referring back
to our file of Gireddys we find that prices
have not been as low IS now since June
A. 1878, when we quoted best States at 10
10 cents, On August q, 1863 they were
quoted TO 10 cents Could anything be
more discouraging for growers than the
present situation? The saying is, " While
there is life there is hope" There is yet
time for great changes TO take place in the
crop. 1t will be remembered that on or
about August %, 1867. the lice got into the
yards in this State and destroyed nearly the
entire crop within forty-eight hours. Our
| dealers were then Obliged to go to Wiscon-
sin for fine hops, and they got them, too

'' Grizzly ReelfoOt" Brought to Grief AT
ter Desperate Fight.
Two months since the citizens of How
ards Station, on the California, Oregon and
Idaho stage line, offered $3.50 reward for
the scalp of an immense grizzly bear that
had for months prior thereto been depre-
dating the stock ranches Of Siskiyou coun-
ty. The bears career as robber of the
corrals extended over four years, his last
being TO kill a -year-old steer, perch
himself upon the animal and proceed to
make meal of him. The reward i'm
PEELED several of the most noted bear
hunters to look for him, but in very wary
way, for bruin had made minCc meat of
dozen or more dogs, besides being alive and
healthy after four Winchester balls had
been planted in him and after he had lost
portion of one of his feet in great trap
" Grizzly Reelfoot has been the name by
which he has since been known, owing 70
his consequent ambling gait.
Thomas Jones and Charles Meredith, of
San Francisco, went mp on The California
and Oregon Railroad two weeks ago for q
hunt. They returned Saturday, and report
that Henry Woodburn and jim Wilson, of
Linkville, Or, with themselves, succeeded
at last in killing him. They got on his
trail in the deep woods Immediately south
of Howard's station, and. with the aid of
Wilson's four trained dogs, succeeded in
freeing him, after following him through
canyons and jungles for over seven miles.
Hearing the dogs haying, Wilson, who was
III the lead. rushed forward, only to find
two of his favorite dogs lying dead on the
ground. Blood covered the bushes, and
great shreds of flesh appeared here and
there. Looking upward, the bear appeared
vending his way on 4 distended limb about
forty feet from the ground. He was show

he made n vicious fight, killing one dog
and tearing the coat of Meredith, who had
volunteered too near, off his back. A final
shot from Jones, however, finished him.
The grizzly weighed over 800 pounds.

Flame.

Great Fire in Toronto Half Nile OF
Flame.
ToRoYTo. August 3d-A. M-Fearflllly
destructive fires commenced about 1880
this morning in the large brick building
erected by the Toronto Sugar Refining Com
pany. on the Esplanade 4 strong wind was
blowing from the east, and carried chunks
of burning timber along the Esplanade, ig-
hitting wooden buildings as far west as five
or six blocks. In short time nothing was
left of the sugar refinery but the walls and
smokestack. The buildings of Saulter
Evans, Heakcs, Gunselles and Ibbottson,
all boat-builders Reid & Co. and Welch &
Co, lumber merchants; Currie, Martin &
Co., boilermakers, and other buildings, are
in flames, and unless the wind changes, the
whole south side of the Esplanade will
have to succumb. Sparks are flying and
lodging on the roofs of the large ware
houses on Front and Wellington streets,
and fears are entertained that several of
them may take fire. The fire brigade are
and have been working manfully, but their
efforts seem powerless. The streets are
lined with thousands of people. The loss
will be enormous. Schooners are burned
to the waters edge. The fire is now half n
u,iio in length
