CUT 10 PIECES.
J. Ross Myers Takes His Last Ride in
This World.
He Fell From a Freight Train Near
Swingle Station and Was Hor-
ribIy Mutilated.

What remains of human form that
was two days ago full of life and health
lies at the Morgue to-day, wrenched and
torn to pieces and fragments.
A terrible accident occurred some time
yesterday morning, before daylight, just
this side of Swingle Station, the victim
being J. Ross Myers, formerly of Toledo.
o., but who has been for the past month
in and around Sacramento, earning his
living as a sign-painIer and painting ad-
vertisements on fences and elsewhere.
How it happened no one knows, and
the cause can only be conjectured. 1t is
supposed that the unfortunate man had
been riding on brak e-beam or between
the cars of freight train. Be that as it
may, he was seen by Conductor Hood of
the Oroville and Knights Landing train
yesterday morning lying along the
side of the track, near Swingle, dead.
Hood telegraphed back from DaVisville,
and switch engine was sent out and
brought the body here, where Deputy
Coroner Newton of Washington took
charge of it and placed it in the Morgue.
1t was found that after he had been run
over and his legs and one arm cut off be

where he was recognized by some parties
who had known him, and also identified
by cards in his pocket which bore his
name and occupation.
He has, or had, a brother, who is only
a boy, but who some time ago was in the
city, but it is not known whether he is
here now or not.

CHRISTMAS FOR THE POOR.

The Salvation Army VIII Feed the

To-day will be- busy one for the Sal
vation Army. They have been for some
days soliciting contributions for Christ
mas dinner for the poor. which they ex-
pact to give on large scale to-day from
3 P. u. to Z p. NJ. Although many have

things and will be grateful to those who
will contribute. The contributions should
be sent either to their rooms at 507 X
street, or TO 1910 Third street, where the
dinner Will be given.
The committee has been visiting the
haunts of the poor and distributing tick
cts to the dinner. Six hundred tickets
have been given away. Across the ends
of the tickets are the sentences: Jesus
said, I am the bread of life,' and Him
that cometh unto me l will in no wise
cast OUT" and in the center, Free

Those who cannot be accommodated
for lack of room are asked TO remain at
507 X street until the first table has been
| laid.
The army officers worked all Fri
day and Saturday nights ana last night
began their work at l o'clock, in order
that they might have everything ready
for the Christmas dinner in time. The
other members of the army have also
assisted them to the best OF their ability.
Captain Harmon states that the officers
would like all further contributions OF
provisions and other articles delivered as
early to-day as possible.
In addition to the dinner the army will
to-day distribute baskets of food as well
as clothing to number of poor families

CHRISTMAS SERVICES.
Special Features To-day at the Cath

Special Features To-day at the Cathe-
draI and st. Paul's.
The churches generally were largely
attended yesterday. and the special
features of the services were very inter
esting and impressive.
A number of persons who had not care
fully noted the published announcement
of the Christmas services at the Cathedral
went there expecting to witness the
special features, and were disappointed.
These will take place this morning at
1880 O'Clock, when pontitical high mass
will be celebrated, Bishop Monogue otfi-
ciating, assisted by Fathers Grace and
Walsh and Brother Lamand.
The choir will render Cimarosa's s
"Grand Military Mass" which is con-
sidered one of the finest compositions
written for sacred music.
The accompaniment will be by the
organ, flute and four stringed instru-
ments, Miss Lizzie Griffin and Messrs.
Neale. Franz, Coggeshall, Lindenmeyer
and Lewis being the performers.
The main altar and four smaller
affairs will be beautifully decorated, and
the church will undoubtedly be crowded
with worshipers.

pal Church will be at 1880 A. NJ. and II

O'Clock service, as heretofore published.
The congregation of Mount Zion Bap-
tist Church had Christmas tree on Sat
urday evening in Pioneer Hall, which
was handsomely decorated. Beside the
distribution OF presents there was a very
interesting musical and literary pro-
granme rendered.
At the Theosophical headquarters,
610l l street, a Christmas service was
held last evening. The Secretary pre-
sided. and, in opening the exercises, read
a selection from the Bhagarad Gita, fol-
lowing with statement of the aims and
objects of the Theosophical society. Dr.
J. S. Cook was introduced as the speaker
of the evening, his subject being 1.-THE
Mystery OF Christ" which he treated
from the Theosophical standpoint and in
an interesting manner.

PEPPERING THE PIGEONS.
The Pelican Gun Clubs Shoot
Yesterday.
Strong Birds and Good Scores-Cham-
pion Robinson Gathers in Most
of the Ducats.

The trap-shooting tournament given
yesterday at Agricultural Park under the
auspices of the Pelican Gun Club was.
All things considered, one of the most
successful events of the kind that have
taken place here. President Morrison
and several members of the club were on
hand to direct the affair, which was ex-
cellently managed throughout.
The weather was very disagreeable. but
the club had a comfortable tent on the
ground, and although rain fell during
most of the time, the shooters were well
protected. Care had been takon to pro-
cure good, strong country birds, and the
way they sped from the traps was a
caution. The shooting was under the
American Association rules.
Among the visiting sportsmen present
were the veterans Crittenden Robinson
and Ed. Fay of San Francisco, George
Zentgraf, L. Hoxie and j. Burston of
Green Valley, FL Dorado County,
Messrs. Montgomery and Fendner of
Solano County, aud CA. Merrill and son
of Stockton.
The feature of the day was the re-
markable skill displayed by the younger
Merrill who is only Il or 10 years of age.
Out OF forty-three birds shot at during
the day he lost but three, and made a
stand-off with his father in each OF the
four matches.
Robinson shot in great form and cap
tured the lions share of the money,
losing but one bird during the day. The
visitors got away with the bulk Of the
prizes.
The sport was opened with six-bird
match. as a sort of appetizer. The other
conditions were 81 so entrance, divided

UNSUCCESSFUL oRACKsMEN.

They Try to Open the Safe at the
American Cash store.
An unsuccessful attempt was made on
Saturday night to rob the American Cash
Store.
As the place was kept open until II
P. NJ. and no signs of entry or exit can be
found, it is thought that while the place
was crowded some one familiar with the
premises must have slipped down in the
cellar and secreted himself or themselves.
They drilled two holes in the outer
shell of the safe, but when they struck
the inner one. which is of chilled iron,
they were unable to penetrate it and gave
it up as bad job, and taking about two
dollars worth Of pennies which were in
the Office, they left without, as far as has
been discovered, taking anything else
from the store.
They would not have made alarge haul,
however, had they been able to open the
safe, as the proprietor had that day de-
posted upwards of 5000 in the bank and
| paid off his employees at night.
1t is evident from the style of work
that they were not professionals.

him a better insight into human nature

He came to town with a good supply of

two others joined them, and there bun

to open fire on them with a Clarksburg
howitzer unless they disgorged. They
tried to compromise for a small sum, but
the youth was ineXorable and made them
disgorge the entire sum.

about five inches in diameter. One

succumbed TO His Injuries.

The injuries of Tom Nathan. the young
colored man whose legs were alnputated
at the County Hospital Friday afternoon,
proved fatal and he died on Saturday
morning. Nathan was run over by a
train near Arno and his legs so badly
crushed that City Physician Terry had to
amputate one above and the other below
the knee.
The fact that Nathan lay in the rain for
several hours after the accident probably
lowered his vitality so that he was unable
to recover from the shock.
