A CUTTING AFFRAY.

Cutting.

Associated Press Dispatches. |

SAN Francisco, June Late Satur-
day evening a serious cutting afray oc-
Cured outside the boathouse of the
San Francisco Yacht Club, as the result
of which Prescott Sawyer, son of Judge
Lorenzo Sawyer, of the United States
circuit court, passed the night in
the Sausalito jail. He was charged with
feloniously cutting and wounding one
Herman Frantz, lately bookkeeper Of
the club, and at one time in the employ
of young Sawyer, who was owner Of the
yacht Linda. So intense was popular
feeling Immediately after the cutting
that Sawyer was removed to jail by
Constable Creed, who passed the night
with him in strong apprehension of the
arrival OF lynching party,
From the testimony of impartial wit
nesses it appears that an alteration took
place between Sawyer and Frantz, con-
sequent ON the former peremptorily or
dering Frantz from the clubs wharf. 1t
is claimed by the friends of Sawyer that
Frantz struck him heavy blow
on the head and that Sawyer, be-
ing the weaker, drew pocket
knife and cut Frantz in three places.
The witnesses are, however, by no means
ready to support this theory, and aver
that Sawyer struck the first blow and
that he sustained no injury whatever
in the conflict with Frantz, while Frantz
was picked up bleeding and nearly dead.
The most serious evidence against
Sawyer is the finding on his person of a
blood-stained knife with which the cut
ting was done; also pair of brass
knuckles and five cartridges intended to
fit a 30-calibre pistol. The pistol is miss
ing.
Constable Greed took his prisoner to
San Rafael this morning, where after a
brief examination before Judge Mahon,
Sawyer was held in 900 bail to await
the result of Frantz's injuries. The
physician attending Frantz said he
would give no decided opinion till to-
morrow morning, the setting in of er3~
sipelas being the chief cause of appre-
hension. The bail bond was given by
Judge Lorenzo Sawyer. and W. F. Good,
banker of this city.

UNLUCkY VOYAGE.
Seven Out of a Party of Young Men Boat
ing Drowned.

Seven Out of a Party of Young Men Boat
ing Drowned.
BosTON, June S.-This morning eight
young men started out for ride in a
sailboat. When about mile from
Thompson's island, n Dorchester bay,
the boat was struck by squall and cap
sized. All but one were swimmers, but
instead of trying to swim ashore they
tried to climb on the boat, which was so
heavily ballasted that their added weight
would force the boat beneath the sur
face, leaving them struggling in the
water. In this manner the strength
of the men was exhausted and they
sank one by one until only one was left.
The survivor, Michael Quinlan, had
sunk for the last time, when the boat in
rising, came up and lifting him above
the surface. He tioated in an unconscious
condition for some time, when the boat
was seen from the shore by the employ
ees of the gas works at Cow Pasture
point, who went out and brought him to
shore and resuscitated him.

Eugene Cowles AtOnes for
His Perfidy.
Sensational Shooting Affair at
Montreal.
The Result of the Recent Cleveland
Abduction Case.
A Timely Shot by a Big Brother Saves a
Wife from Being Murdered by
Worthless Husband.
Associated Press Dlspat ches. |

MONTREAL, June S.-A sensational
shooting affair occurred at O'Clock this
afternoon on st. Catherine street, as the
result of which Eugene Cowles, son of
the late Edmund Cowles, wellknown
editor of Cleveland, Ohio, lies in the
general hospital with a bullet wound in
the neck, which may result in his death.
Cowles and his wife, who is the daughter
of Mr.. Hale, a wealthy Cleveland
banker, have not been living together
for some time. Cowles has been in
business in Lockport, N. Y, and his
health failing, he recently determined
to go on a trip. He made a
visit to Cleveland to see his
mother and friends, and on leav-
ing there last Monday took with him
his 1O-year-old daughter, Florence, un-
known to her mother. The child's alb
sence was soon discovered, and search
began. When Mrs. Cowles learned that
her husband had taken the child, she at
once began suit for divorce, and an order
was issued by the court giving her
possession of the child, pending the
nearing OF the case.
Cowles had gone to Toronto, and
thither went Mrs. Cowles, accompanied
by her brother, sister and attorney,
Judge Ingersoll of Cleveland. When
they reached Toronto they found Cowles
had gone to Montreal, taking the child
with him. He had previously said he
was willing to have an interview with
70 1,,1t fol
else. 1t is alleged that his object was to
obtain an additional allowance.
-Four months ago, on the death of his
of ~, 800. Previous to this it is asserted
that he had been living at rapid rate
in company with woman of question
able character named Clara Lienen-
schlows. She is at present at st. Cath
crimes, having followed Cowles there
from Buffalo.
Cowles' had been twice to Europe with
the woman, and on one occasion had to
cable to his wife to come to his aid.
She did so, and when he recovered from
his illness he left her and returned with
the other woman to America. On an
other occasion he lived with her in San
Francisco, they occupying adjoining
rooms, and he alleging that she was his
widowed sister.
The pursuing party arrived at Mont
real this morning, and an interview
was arranged. Cowles, in the morning
took the child to convent and in
structed the mother superior not to give
her up without written order from
him. He then returned to the hotel
ready for the interview, which he
wished to be private with his wife
Her brother would not consent to this
and accompanied them in cab for {
drive. The interview was in progress
when Cowles suddenly made move
ment to draw revolver. Hale in
stantly drew his gun and shot him, witt
the result as above
The doctors tonight think Cowles i:
not in danger. Sympathy here is al
with Hale and Mrs. Cowles, and it il
believed Cowles intended to kill her
Hale is in prison. Judge Dugan will
issue mandamus tomorrow to get tn,
child from the convent, when guardian
will be appointed.

IT WAS LOADED.
A Negro Shoots His Wife in Struggling
for Pistol.

SACRAMENTO, June S.-Last night a
young colored man, named Whitaker,
and wife were about to enter buggy in
front of their residence, to go to moon
light picnic in the suburbs. The wife
put her hand into her husbands over

took it out. He said he was taking it to
a friend, but she replied neither he nor
the friend needed it, and started to take
it in the house. Whitaker caught her
hand, and in trying to take the weapon
away, it was discharged. The ball en-
tered the wife's side, causing her death
this morning. The struggle for the
pistol was in the spirit of humor, and
the accident is deplorable. The parties
had been married but one month, and
were greatly attached to each other.
