committee of the California Press
Club Association w. A. Filcher of
the Auburn Herald, G. M. Frames
of the Napa Register, A. G. Lem

bers and their wives. The editors
will represent almost exclusively the
country press of the United States
and Canada. Free transportation

An insane Slavonian stabbed the
little four-year-old daughter of At
torney Geo. A. Bates, last Sunday
evening while she was walking beside
her mother on Market street. The
blade of the knife penetrated the
skull and broke off the point just
touching the brain. The child may
recover. The man had recently been
discharged from the Agnew Insane
Asylum. His mania is to "kill some
one so as to break the rule and free
the Slavonians.
The Bell-Jacobsen murder case is
just now the theme of everyone.
Last week Campbell, the principal
witness against Bell, swore that he
had perjured himself, and left for
Chicago. Mrs. Campbell then con-
fessed and said that her husband had
told the truth the first statement that
he made and that the last was false.
Saturday Edward Campbell made
confession in Chicago in which he
says that Jacobsen was shot by
Henry Swartz, Miss Hattie Jacob
sens sweetheart. Swarlz was bar
keeper and tin horn gambler and his
intimacy with the Jacobsen girl was
violently objected to by her brother.
The murdered man on coming home
that night caught Swartz in the house
and assaulted him. This accounts
for the Indifference of the Jacobsen
girls and their desire to hush the
scandalous matter up. Campbell
says he perjured himself in the first
trial because of his fear OF the officer
who was interested IN placing the
crime upon somebody and prevent
the scandal being made public. Bell
is now certain of new trial, al
though to save family scandal it is
believed the case will never come to
trial the second time. 1t is reported
that Captain Lees, the chief of
police, will be arrested for perjury
to-day. He is placed in very I'M
favorable light.
