DASHED TO DEATH.
John Mitchell Falls From the Catholic
tbsdraJ and Ia KiIled

John Mitchell Falls From the Catkoli,
Cathedral and is Killed.
At 2:20 P NJ yesterday John Mitchell, g
painter employed on the Catholic Cathe-
dral, fell from scaffolding suspended from
the cornice on the northwest corner, dis
tance of seyenty-five {, ct, and was instantly
killed. Mitchell and young man by the
name of Menke were at work ON the scat
folding. Mitchell undertook to loosen the
rope to pull his end of the scaffold up a
little higher, when the rope slipped and he
was precipitated to the ground, the ladder
and scaffolding falling on top of him.
Parties working near by rushed to his as
sisiance, but the unfortunate mans neck
was broken in the fail. Menke, when the
ladder started, grabbed hold of the hook
and cornice and held by his arms, sus-
pended in the air, until he was rescued.
When Mr.. O'Neil, who has charge of the
painting, hired Mr. Mitchell a few days
ago, he said, Jack that is rather danger
Gus place to work" "Oh that's nothing -
replied Mitchell Pm Just as safe up there
as | would be on the ground"
The body was removed TO the Morgue, and
afterward taken to the family residence at
1929 P street. He was native of England
ana % Years Oi age. O6CedS6Q was men,
Der of the Catholic Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton, of the old Volunteer Fire Department
and of the old Emmett Guard He leaves a
wife and four children, two of the latter
grown. He came to Sacramento in 1861 or
1862, and prior to that served in the Volun-
teer Department fighting Indians on the
frontier.
Sad indeed were the scenes enacted at the
home Of the unfortunate man when his
mangled body was borne thither by
friends. His little daughter was in another
part Of the neighborhood playing with
some children, and when she was sent for
and the dreadful news unfolded her, cries
and lamentations were pitiful in the ex-
treme. Mrs. Mitchell and other members
of the family were also prostrated with
grief, despite the efforts of friends to allie
viate their anguish. Mr.. Mitchell was
known to his neighbors as one of the best
husbands and fathers ever blessed with a
family. When not engaged at his calling
his time was devoted entirely to them, es-
peclally to the younger children, and they
will miss him as. unfortunately, too few
fathers are missed when called away by
death. He was q temperate, industrious
and frugal citiZen-one whose life was a
daily succession of good examples for
Others to profit by. And, though he
moved in an humble sphere, his many
shining virtues and cleanness of life were
known to and appreciated by large circle
of friends and neighbors, who mourn his
sad and untimely death, and whose sympa-
thies are with his bereaved family in their
atfiictlOn

A Lively Bear Fight.

Henry Schulmeyer, who lives at Sixth
and Y streets, had three year-old CHINA
mon bear which was quite pet. Yester-
day it got loose and hid in the tunnel
where the sippage from the city escapes
Just below the levee. James Mitchell and
Harry G. White went out to recapture bruin,
who was quite tame.
They went in, one at each end of the
tunnel, and closed in on the bear. The
latter did not ike their familiarity, and at
tackled Mitchell. The latter shot the bear
twice, threw away the gun, and in hand
to hand combat finished him with a dirk
knife. Mitchell was considerably bruised
and scratched, and had very narrow
escape. The bear. when dressed, weighed
$50 pounds.

Mr.. Moulton made an address cxplana-
tory of the movement now being pushed

declared most emphatically that they did
not want prohibition, and then In their

them what they say they want-"non-prU
hibition." In that same petition, Mr.. Moul
tion said, the dealers stated that there were
