SHOT DOWN BY HIS SON.
Sad Ending to a Family Feud at Snake
River, Oregon.

BAKER CITY, Ore. Aug. 28.-Particulars
have just been received Of pstricide which
occurred last night on Snake River, II
miles from Huntington.
James Reedy Jr.. q years of age, shot and
killed his father. aged AZ. using Win.
chester rife.
a Coroner's inquest, held this morning,
revealed the fact that an old feud existed
between the father and son.
The latter bought his fathers half interest
In an orchard, and oRa.James refusing to
trade back the deceased threatened to kill
his son.
The young man ordered his father away
and forbade him to again trespass on the
premises:
Reedy senior left his wife and two small
children, remaining away one year.
Last week he wrote his wife stating that
he would visit them Saturday and en-
deavored TO keep his, promise, arriving
about o'clock in the evening.
James, armed with Winchester. met his
father about 30 yards from the house where
the tragedy occurred.
When the Coroner's jury arrived this
: morning the deceased was lying where he
fell. face downward, and. in his right hand
was tightly clinched a bulldog revolver,
: cooked, but the mainspring was broken,
which probably prevented double tragedy.
The murderer claims that he did the
bloody deed In self-defensr, but the Coro-
ner's jury failed to ex0neratc him.
his hearing is set for Tuesday.

have been knocked overheard by the shock.
Some On board the ship stated they had
seen the captain OF the schooner jump over
board at the moment of colliding, but this
was not corroborated by those on his own
vessel. All that was known was that he
and two of the crew had disappeared.
q Close search was only rewarded by the
discovery of the captains hard hat split
open and floating on the water, and the
conclusion arrived at was that both he and
his men were struck down by the rigging
and at once sank.
Meantime the vessels with their inter-
locked stays, dragging sails and broken
gearing presented a terrible scene of con-
fusion apparently ineXtreable.
But the Rescue speedily attached line
to the Maid aud hauled her off. Everything
that held was cut away with axes, the wire

Eventually all was cleared and the dis

A SOrr0w-Stricken Boy Attempts
to Commit Suicide.
He Jumped From the Newark, and After
Swimming for Ten Minutes Was Rescued
by the San Rsfael-His Romance.

1t is well for Charlie Bailey that he
learned how to swim In the happy days Of
his childhood.
If be had not done so it is very probable
that he would now be an unlovely corpse at
the bottom of the broad pay of San Fran
CISCO.
Bailey. who is but 10 years old. attempted
10 commit suicide at o'clock last night by
leaping from the lower deck of the steamer
Newark as 1t was nearing the slip on this
side of the bay.
Man overboardw yelled a young fellow
who was standing with Bailey by the rail
when the unhappy youth set out for the
vale Of shadows.
The steamer was stopped. and after sew
eral minutes fumbling around the davits
boat was lowered.
When Bailey touched the water his de-
sire TO die began 10 fade away from him.

made good use Of his knowledge of the art
OF swimming. Iet with death glaring at
him over the dark waves the thought came
10 him that the hands on the steamer were
mlraculously slow in coming to his rescue
While the Newark crew were trying to
get their boat into the water the steamer
san Rafael, bound ror Sausalito, came up
and seeing Baley's attempt to keep himself
ahOat took hand in the rescue.
Their beat was quickly dropped from its
tastenlngS and set out TO the place where
Bailey was struggling in the water. He was
gasping IN the last effort to battle death
Ills strokes were becoming feebler. In a
lew seconds he would have sunk when q
member of the crew of the San Rafaefs
boat grasped him and drew him on board.
lie WAS taken 10 the Central station and
put IN bed In the City Prison Hospital
I'm very glad that / was saved" said
Bailey when questioned in tie prison. ''I
wanted to be saved Just as soon as L struck
the cold water"
Bailey is a mOlder employed in the Pa
cihc Rolling Mill. He came TO this city one
year ago and resides at the Nevada House
on Napa street Three months ago he was
married, and yesterday he went to Shell
Mound Park with friend named Jack
Green, who Is employed in the sulphur
works. At Shell Mound he met Young
woman with whom he had been acquainted
prior TO his marriage and to whom IL is said
lie had been engaged. On the way back TO
this city he expressed deep sorrow for the
mistakes Of his life, and as the steamer
neared the shore he turned TO Green, who
was standing at his side near the stern, and
exclaimed:
"Good.by Jack. have nothing more to
live for"
Tlen he plunged head first into the water
and began TO swim.
Greene says that his friend was fully 10
minutes IN the water before the Newark's
boat was lowered. The same authority
states that young Bailey jumped overheard
because he feared that his wife would learn
that he had been flirting with another
woman.
Bailey went home as soon as his clothes
had been dried In the prison kitchen.
