ST. HELENA, CAL, July 14.-Saturday
man giving his name as Tom Collins
came to town driving handsome span
of horses attached to light top buggy,
and interviewed several citizens, trying
to sell the rig. He started down the
valley at noon. Deputy Sheriff Charles
Howard received word from Sheriff Nc
Kenzie that the team and buggy were
stolen property, and instructions to ar
rest the thief. Howard at once started
down the road, finding his man at T. H.
Inks, three miles south of here, trying
to sell the outfit to Mr.. Ink The dep
uty sheriff drove up and called on the man
to surrender. The fellow jumped from
the buggy and started to run with shot
gun in his hand. Howard called to him
to stop or he would shoot. Instead of
doing so the thief wheeled around and
fred at Howard, missing him, and con-
tinued to run. Howard, Ink and
Charles Mooney started in pur-
suit. Collins being close pressed left
the road and ran into a vineyard.
Howard again called to him to halt, and
then fired at him, hitting him in the
ankle. Collins, thus wounded, made
slow progress, and when Howard was
within fifteen feet of him, turned and
discharged the remaining barrel of his
shot gun full at Howard's breast, filling
him with heavy bird shot and lacerating
one hand. Though fearfully wounded
Howard closed in on his man, knocked
him down with his pistol and hand
cuffed him, and a moment later, when
the rest of the party came up was found
lying across the thief's body, weak from
the loss of blood. Mooney and Ink
brought the two men to town. Howard
was taken to his home, while Collins
was lodged in Jail. Later Sheriff Nc
Kenzie drove up from Napa, and took
the prisoner to the county seat, fearing
he might be lynched if Howard s wounds
proved serious. The thief is hard
character, and stole the rig from For
tiers stables at Red Bluff Howard's
wounds are very serious and it is feared
will result fatally.

THE CLOTURE RULE.
Republican Senators Considering 1T in
Caucus.


Caucus.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-At q conference
OF Republican senators tonight twenty
nine members were present to consider
the rule to be reported by the committee
to limit debate. The rule was discussed
thoroughly for two hours and half,
and reports agree that unanimity pre-
vailed. The strictest secrecy was OBJ
served, however, respecting the terms of
the rule, and various versions are cur
rent. The one most largely accepted is
that after a proposition has been de-
bated for three or four days it shall be
in order for any senator to move that
the debate thereon shall be limited un-
der the rule. That motion shall be
put without debate, and il adopted
debate shall cease at the end OF six days
thereafter. 1t is understood that almost
every one present was in favor of the
adoption of this method of limiting de-
bate. Chairman Platt says the rule has
been recommitted to committee. An
other senator says the rule has been
practically adopted. Its recommittal
is due to disposition on the part of the
majority to postpone putting it into opera
ton until the necessity arises for it's useS
The intention of the Republican sena-
tors, he said, to consider the election
bill, is settled, and if necessary, the new
rule will be applied to the tariff bill in
order to reach it.

AN EYE-wITNEss's STORY.
Terrible Work Of the Cyclone at Lake
Gorvais.

Terrible Work of the Cyclone at Lake
Gervais.
ST. PAUL, July IA married daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Good, who was in her fathers
cottage when destroyed at Lake Gervais,
tells the following story: "Our family
noticed the storm approaching.
Some of the household suggested
that we get into the cellar. The storm
looked as if coming right down on the
house of Mr.. Schurmeir and ours. After
great spinning the storm reached the
center of the lake. l saw the water
divide and overflow the banks forty
feet. Then Mullanche's cottage was
swept away then our barn was thrown
broadside against our house. Just at
this time my husband threw me bodily
down the cellar stairs. Then he
threw Miss King and Mr.. Nc
Pherson and jumped after. My
husband tumbled down and called the
others to follow. The building was
crushed in upon us, then portions of it
were hurled skyward. Trees were blown
by and huge ice chest fell into the Gel
lar and pinned us all down as
we lay there. We heard the Schur-
meir house about fifteen feet
from our house crash, and for fifteen
minutes the timbers and furniture of
both houses were hurled about. After
our release from the cellar we began
looking for the members of the house
hold. We found them scattered about.
Miss Minnie lay in the road with her
head cut and mouth bleeding badly.
Carrie, her sister, was pinned under a
tree, hurt internally. George Miller Law
dead and mangled in the road. His wife
was also buried beneath the wreck and
hurt badly. Mrs. Hastings and daugh-
ter Stella were badly bruised.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-15

completely demolishing five houses and
slightly injuring the occupants.
At Frank Getzke's place on the north
east shore of Lake Gervais, beside him
self and family of four, there were about
twenty visitors who had sought shelter.
The cyclone struck the house and lifted
it bodily from its foundations, but fortu-
nately not one OF the inmates was In
jured.
The Course Of the Storm.
The storm really commenced between
Snail and Turtle lakes, passed over
them and striking the northern part of
Little Canada, thence on to the Schur-
meir and Good cottages across Lake
Gervais to Gctzke's place; thence in a
northeasterly direction to Farmer Will
liam Browns place, where it lifted and
disappeared. Its track was about forty
five miles long, and from a quarter to a
half mile in length.
The bodies of Mrs. Schurmeir and her
son Charles and Rev. Mr.. Phaeffle had
not been recovered up to late hour to-
night. 1t is almost certain they are at
the bottom of the lake, as search of
the debris failed to find any trace of
them.
Late tonight it is learned definitely
that the only fatalities in this vicinity
were those at Lake Gervais. Between
st. Paul and that place the storm did
tremendous damage to crops, and not
little to farm buildings.
A Pioneer Press special from Plain
view, Mimi, says: A terrific wind storm,
accompanied by hail, in the townships
OF Highland, Glasgow and Beaver, last
night, did 800, 900 damage to crops.

Patroling the Waters.

fatrOIlnS the w WaCerSs
During the morning systematic
patrol of the water over which the boats
drifted after being first struck by the
gale, was kept up by the citizens of Lake
City. After the last bodies had been
taken from the hulls, General Mullen
pressed into service all the row boats
within reach, and with his soldiers be-
gan this afternoon thorough dragging
of the lake along the scene of the disas-
ter. No bodies were found up to dark,
when search was abandoned for the day
Dynamite will be used in the morning.
There were good many who made
use of life preservers, but probably none
had as good a service as had Robert
Adams, the seventeen-year-old son of
DR.. Adams, of Lake City, and another
ooy. They secured three life preservers
and were in the water for six hours be-
fore being rescued. Young Adams could
swim, but his companion could not.
They had the good sense to float quietly
and not attempt to fight against the
waves. During the six hours they were
buffeted by the pillows and blown
hither and thither by the gale. They
drifted about a mile down past the
town, and then change in the wind
carried them up the river to Frontenac,
seven miles from here, where they were
rescued by DR.. Kain and party, and to-
day are nearly as we'll as ever.
Captain Wetheren Censured.
Captain Wetheren, proprietor and
commander of the Sea Wing, has been
severely blamed by citizens and others;
they allege that it was criminal negli-
gence on his part in pulling out into the
lake with such a crowd when the sky
looked so threatening. The captains
wife and two of his three children lost
their lives underline waves, and that fact,
together with the loss of his vessel and the
great loss of life, so unnerved him that he
kept pretty much out of sight during
the day, and those who did see him got
but imperfect statements from him.
The first is that he did not consider the
danger very great, and thought he saw
break in the clouds promising the
clearing away of the storm. This
is not we'll taken by the people
in this neighborhood, who say the sky
was black with the most threatening
kind of clouds, and that it was clearly
evident that very heavy storm was
about to break. The other excuse (if
such these may be called) is that the
manager of the excursion, whose profits
would be cut down by any delay in the
departure of the boat, was so urgent in
his insistance upon immediate depar-
ture that the captain yielded and took
the boat out tc her destruction.
Saved by a Joke.
Many incidents of the awful night are
being related. James Webb, of Red
Wing, and a young lady companion had
just jokingly finished fastening life
preserver to each other. when the storm
struck the vessel, and their joke proved
their salvation, for both were saved.
The cannonading which went on during
the morning did not bring any bodies to
the surface, and was abandoned during
this afternoon.

The little city of san Gabriel | found

iards and some Chinese form the popula-
ton of the place. As drove by stopped
to say a word occasionally to the Spanish
children. who mo Sabe lngleS. but who

On the same trip to the San Gabriel
valley visited the Baldwin ranch, which
would no doubt be considered a pretty
big farm back i'll Ohio. 1t is an $1,000
acre ranch, owned by Lucky Baldwin, of
whom it is said that he is 50 rich that he
cannot estimate his worth. There are
over one hundred men on its pay roll,
which averages $1,000 month: another
$1,000 month does not more than meet
its running expenses. 1t has 5000 worth
of machinery for its grain harveStS alone.
1t has 2U,UpO sheep, l2O work horses and
mules, and 30 thOroughbredS. 1t has 800
acres of oak grove, 1900 acres of grain,
800 in grass for hay. $50 acres in orange
orchard. 30 of almond trees, 60 of walnutS,
p of pears, % of peaches, 20 of lemons,
and 800 in vines: also, orchards of chest
nuts, haZelnutS and apricOtS, and thOuS-
ands of acres of good pasturage. Lakes,
beautiful birds, ostriches, peacocks, also,
wild deer are found about the place. and
around the mansion house a wilderness
of flowers. The house is furnished like a
palace, and the only regret one has in
viewing all this glory is, that it is held by
such an one as this immoral, diSSOlute
Baldwin.
On our return drive to Pasadena We
passed through the Sierra Madre Villa, a
beautiful place on the side of the noun
tain, and also the Abbot Kinnie ranch, a
place almost equal to the Baldwin ranch
in beauty, although on a very much
smaller scale.
