CLOVER VALLEY HEARD FROM
AGAIN.
Facts of What May Prove Another
Murder There.

A report reaches US from Clover Val.
ley to the effect that one day last week,
j. w. Waldron, one of the sub.contrac.
tors on the railroad line near that place,
beat one of his workmen with q whipple
tree or neck yoke Of wagon, and nearly
killed him.
1t is said Waldron was trying to cheat
the man, whose name is johnson, out of
his wages, when some words occurred,
and Waldron made savage attack upon
him, telling him to the ground and
beating him until senseless, and also
fracturing his skull. johnson lay for
some time on the ground and when he
showed signs of recovering, Waldron ex.
pressed himself to the effect that he
wished he had killed him while he was
about it. One of the witnesses to the
affair shortly afterward set out for Glow.
er to lodge complaint against Waldron,
learning which Waldron hitched up his
team to a blackboard aad loaded the in.
jured mani johnson, who was then wan.
deEing around in dazed condition, into
it, and, accompanied by his wife, started
for the State line on the east. 1t was
afterwards reported that he was met on
the road and johnson was not with him.
Some parties coming into Glover from
the camp still later, said johnson had
not returned there.
If the facts in the case are as bad az
represented, the offender should be speed.
lily and properly dealt with. The Grand
Jury will meet in few days, and should,
and no doubt will, fully investigate the
case.

collision between a baker wagon and
light cart this morning resulted in the sad
death of j. c. Hodge, who lives near Ag-
news, says the San Jose Herald of yester-
day.
The facts elected from the relatives of
the unfortunate man are that he, with his
son-in-law, John Dowle, started into town
early this morning from Agnews, where
Mr.. Hodge resided with his youngest son,
Leonard Hodge, for the purpose of taking
Mrs. Fortune, wife of Jack Fortune, the
East San Jose blacksmith, and a daughter
OF Mr.. Hodge, out TO the ranch to spend
the day.
When just this side of the narrow-gauge
depot the Garden City bakery team, which

threw the occupants to the ground. Mr..
D0wle struck the ground on his hands and
was considerably bruised, but not seriously
injured, but his father-in-law struck on his
head. He was picked up unconscious and
taken to the residence of his son, John Il.

called in, but Immediately saw that he was
suffering from severe hemorrhage OF the
brain and that death was but a question of
a few minutes. He died two hours after
the accident without resaining conscious
ness.
The deceased was CT years of age and
wagon-maker by trade. He came here with
his family from Kansas about two years
ago. He leaves a widow and five children,
one of his sons being now in Redwood City.
The latter was telegraphed for and will ar
rive this evening.
There will probably not be any inquest
held, as it is well known how he came to
his death.

No one wishes to spend much money in
furnishing cottage inhabited but few
months out of the year, and, indeed, fine
furniture would be out of place with the

the cottage a pretty and inviting retreat,

home.
