JOHN SMITH.
He of the Very Uncommon Name Set at
Liberty Yesterday.

He of the Very Uncommon Name Set at
Liberty Yesterday.
Constable J. G. Ammons of Clarksburg,
4olo county, who brought to this city a
man whom he suspected of having been
concerned in the murder of Milo Hawes
several days ago, says he arrested the man
on account of his strange actions. He first
noticed him in the brush near Clarksburg,
walking to and fro, and seemingly worried
about something. At times be would come
out on the levee, look up and down, and if
he saw anyone would again go back into
the thicket. He continued doing this all
day, ana when arrested he did not manifest
much surprise.
Chief Lee had an interview with the pris-
oner yesterday morning, and the latter gave
a very good account of himself for the past
week. He had been working on ranch
on the Riverside Road, then he went to
Courtland and Walnut Grove, and came
back on the other side of the river TO Clarks-
burg. He had been working at different
times in breaking horses.
bartender in Washington, who claims
to have seen the men in company with
Hawes on the morning of the tragedy, was
brought over to identify the man, and
after taking good look, said he could not
positively identify him. The coat CORE
sponded with that of one of the men, but
he was quite certain that the party he re-
ferred to was an Irishman, while Smith ap-
peared to be German. Chief Lee thinks
the right party has not yet been found.
AND NOW THEY WANT HIM.
Smith was taken by the Yolo officials
yesterday to place in this city where he
said he could prove that he was on Sunda,
last, the day of the murder. The propri-
etor of the place substantiated his state
ment, and he was then turned loose.
Later in the day man showed up who de-
clares that he saw him over in Yolo on the
same day, and now the smart officers over
there are kicking" themselves to think
how stupid they were in overlooking the
fact that person might be both here and
few miles beyond The river on the same
day.
1t is said that circumstances now point
strongly toward the so-called Smith as one
of those concerned in the terrible crime,
and the officers of Yolo are securing the
country for him again. 1t is possible that
he is not half as simple-minded as he pre-
tends to be-

BOOKED FOR SOLDIERS.

The Sons of Veterans Likely to be At
tached to the National Guard.
1t is understood that there is plan on
foot to have the Sons of Veterans of this
city mustered into the First Artillery Regi-
ment as a company. There are a goodly
number of young men in the organization
at present, aud it is thought they can be re-
cruited so as TO form fine company. II
admitted into the National Guard they will
receive 800 every month from the State,
besides new uniforms, rifles and equip
ments. They will have room i'll the
Armory set aside for their meetings, and
can also use the large hall for drilling pur-
poses.
1t is thought that beyond a doubt the
State Board OF Location and Organization
-Governor Waterman, Adjutant- General
Orton and Major-General Dimond-will
readily give their consent to the admission
of the company, and it would indeed be q
novel thing for the First Artillery Regi-
ment TO have among its companies one
composed entirely and exclusively of young
men whose fathers had served the Union
as soldiers.
The Veterans Sons would no doubt be
glad to be annexed to the National Guard,
! as this would not hinder them from main
tanning their Order In a short time theirs
should become the best drilled company in
the service, as their membership would not
change as often as that of other companies.

UNDER THE ENGINE.
BRAKEMAN ROBERT A. WILSON MEETS
AN AWFUL DEATH.
The Folsom Gravel Train Wrecked Yes
terday-Four other Traiuhren
Severely Iaiured.

Yesterday morning an accident hap
pened upon the Sacramento and Placer
vile Railroad which resulted in the killing
of one man and the injury Of several
others. The gravel, or granits-train, which
carries material from near Folsom to Sac
ramento for filling in about the new
switch-yards, started on its regular trip
from here yesterday morning about s
o'clock. When little beyond Saulsbury's
Station, about six miles this side of Folsom,
the engine struck broken rail- ran off the
track and turned over on its side, and six
fiat cars were piled up in heap over the
engine.
Brakeman Robt. A. Wilson, who was at
the time of the accident standing on the
tender of the engine, was thrown to the
ground, and the tender falling on him, he
was killed instantly.
Engineer Allen and fireman Geo. Vice
barely escaped with their lives, and both
were considerably injured about the head.
Aliens leg was also severely hurt. Con-
ductor Wright and brakeman Supple were
also injured by being thrown over by the
jar.
The wreck took place where there was a
slight grade, otherwise the engine would
probably not have toppled over but as it
was it simply ran out 10 the edge of the
bank and then fell over en- one side.
Conductor Wright promptly secured a
conveyance and drove to Natoma, from
which point he sent information of the
unfortunate affair to Sacramento. In 3
very short time afterward the railroad COM
pany had a wrecking- crew upon the scene,
and the work of extricating poor Wilson's
body aud clearing the track was executed
with all possible haste.
The injured men were taken to the
Railroad Hospital in this city, where their
injuries will receive proper attention.
Robert A. Wilson, who met such tragic
death in this unfortunate occurrence, had
only been married short time. His wife
is at Placerville. He has a brother in-law,
Frank Smith, in Sacramento.
During the afternoon Coroner Clark sent
his assistants TO the scene of the accident
for Wilson's remains, and an inquest will
be held upon the same on Monday.
The wreck was cleared away by o'clock
in the afternoon

CARRYING THE TARGET.

UP THEIR BURDEN.
Burke Scatter" " the Ball, and the Other
Players Generally Make a Show
of Themselves.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15th.-The home
nine hit Burke hard in the first inning to-
day, and in the second the big pitcher was
very wild, and when tie inning ended the
San Franchises had seven runs to their
credit. 1t was an off day for good plays,
several members of each team making
errors. Goodenough and Stockwell each
muffed fys. The formers chances were
hard. Newbert could not get his hands on
the ball at all, and the veriest amateur
could have accepted his chances.
The visitors braced up towards the last,
but were unable to overcome the lead of the
home nine. Stupid base-running was one
of the causes of their deteat-Krehmeye
Veach and O'Day failing to advance on the
lines when opportunity offered. The fea-
ture of the game was Powers one-hand
catch of high-thrown ball to first. Fol-
lowing is the score:
