HAMILTON ON TRIAL
CHANGED WITH SHOOTING SHEEP
HERDER GANsCHAU.
The Story Told by the Complsining G
Witness Is, That Of an Inexcus-
able Assault, While Defend
ant Claims Self-Defense.

Horatio X. Hamilton, who took sew.
eral shots at two sheep herders near hii
house in Soledad csfion. was on trial
yesterday in Judge Smiths court.
He was on trial upon the charge oi
shooting Bernard Ganschau on June
25th.
1t did not take long to empanel q jury
and the taking Of testimony occupied
the balance of the day.
The story of the shooting has been
told several times, and is quite simple
in it's details. Hamilton is q bee
rancher up the Soledad cafion and Ber-
nard Ganschau and Joe Camou drove a
band of sheep across his place. They
did not keep in the road, but spread
over at the sides.
Hamilton saw them on his place,
knew they would eat the seeds and de-
stroy bee plants. He started for the
place where he saw the wagon going
along and found Camou. He told him
that he did not want the sheep there
and they must pay him So damages.
Camou told him to see his partner,
Ganschau, and went with him to whore
| Ganschau was standing.
Hamilton repeated his demand for
damages and Ganschau made . reply
that he did not understand him. A row
] ensued, In which Hamilton pulled his
revolver and fred five shots. Two ol
them hit Ganschau, one grazing hif
thigh, the other lodging in hia abdo
men, inflicting serious but, as it turneC
out, not a fatal wound. Camou had {
close call, bullets whistling by him II
unpleasant proximity.
These facts were brought out during
the testimony yesterday, the materia
divergence occurring as to the actua
facts of the shooting.
Ganschau and Camou both swore that
Hamilton jerked out his revolver i'm.
medistely after Ganschau said he die
snot understand him, and began shoot.
ing. They both swore they had nc
weapons and made no demonstrations
towards Hamilton.
The defense began late in the after
noon, the defendant being the first wit
ness. The story of the incidents OF the
shooting differed materially from those
of the two sheepherders when he ar
rived at the shooting.
He asked. Ganschau, he testified, TO
pay him So for the damage done by the
sheep, and Ganschau cursed him. He
also pulled knife and made at him,
striking at him with it. He jumped to
one side and Camou tried to strike him.
He saw he was in danger of his life,
pulled his revolver and began to shoot
He did not deny shooting at the men,
but claimed it was done in self defense
The trial will no doubt be concluded
| today.

"For ways that are dark and tricks

selling patent egg fumigators. This
itinerant and somewhat ragged genius
not only has talent that will yield him
million a minute, but is willing that
some one else than himself should share
the glory OF the introduction OF the ar
ticle into Southern California.
A resident OF Ontario was in Los An
geles yesterday and reported the pres
ence OF the fellow to the chamber ol
commerce.
1t seems that the man with the egg
fumigator is a glib talker and has
the ability to apply it, but with what
Judgment remains to be proved.
The fellow will go to some house, the
family of which keeps chickens, and
after salutipg the housewife in the most
Chesterfelian style will remark by way
OF introduction that the climate OF that
vicinity is the best in Southern Cali
fornia. His next move is to compli-
ment the good woman upon what fine,
healthy looking chickens che has. This
always reaches her weak spot, and never
fails to create good impression.
His next move is to produce small
wooden box, which he tells the woman

"Oh. mol We don't want any OF those I;
the orcus chaly beus is going to do away
with all such expensive methods" she
replies, "and anyhow our trees are do

Madame, it is evident that you do
not understand,", he rejoins. this is
something by which you can preserve

flares up and smokes the eggs, leaving
them to do the rest,
taken from the box and the good woman
is told that they will last forever. They
will never break, spoil, rip. tear, burst
or dc .aything but stay preserved fresh.

say that he is satisfied to gladden. the
heart of another woman by means of his

Whenever he makes sale, however,
he produces the best Of guarantee for
the machine. He shows u paper where
in the machine is endorsed by the
Chamber OF commerce of this city, and
which organization pledgds itself to re-

stamped in red sealing wax.
When Secretary Willard of the
chamber heard of the fellows preform-
ances he ct once pronounced the seal as
forgery. Nor is red sealing wax ever
used in making it. No one seems to
know who the peddler is. but at all
events, he must be called rather sharp
