Last evening they became involved In a
quarrel, during which Mrs. Snyder went
to another room, and taking up shotgun
started toward her husband, who ran out
of the room. slamming the door after him.
His wife fired through the door, u good
portion of the charge striking him ip the
right forearm, causing severe wounds. A
few shots also struck him in the body and
hip. Snyder ran from the house, and,
crossing the street, made his way TO John
McAIthur's residence.
John Damon. who was sitting on the
porch, was struck in the head by some of
the shot. causing slight injury.
Immediately after the shooting Mrs.
Snyder took her two little children and
hurried off to the home of another relative.
She expects to soon have third child.
She claims that Snyder abused her when
they lived al Fresno. and that she left him
on that account and came back here to her
folks. She returned a few weeks ago, and
short time afterward Snyder followed
her. They made up and went to living to-
gether again.
Since his arrival here Snyder has been
engaged in hunting work and has obtained
two or three jobs at his trade-that of
painter and paper-hanger.
Mrs. Snyder is young woman and has
been married three or four years. She
justifies her a tlon last evening on the
ground that Snyder threatened to whip
her, and she did not intend to let him
carry out his threats. AS yet no arrests

IN BUENA VISTA VALLEY.
Citizens Think the City Pays Too
Much for HydraHtS.

The Buena Vista Improvement Club
met last night in Franks BALL.
A communication was received from the
Board OF EducatiDn's Committee on Class-
fication in reference to the petition for an
evening class in connection with the
Hearst Grammar School. The Board of
Education desires list of those children
or pupils who Will attend such a school.
When the list is furnished the matter Will
be considered at the meeting of the Com
mittee on Classification on Tuesday even
ing.
1t was stated that there were at least
forty pupils who will sign guarantee or
petition promising 10 attend the school.
Attention was called to the failure of
the authorities to place gas lamps on Ger
mania street, between Webster and Steiner.
The delay in the building OF the Church
and Fillmore street cable-rOadS was also
complained Of
Mention was made Of the high charge
imposed upon the city in the purchase and
setting OF flre hydrants. 1t was stated by
several taxpayers that the city paid S95
TOT each hydrant-the setting included
while the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, as we'll as interior towns and cities,
secured as good hydrant for S5 25, set
ting also Included. The only reason given
Tor the dinerence was that the hydrant
nSed IN this city is patented, while the
otner IS only the water pipe or main, with
conclete cover, stead Of the cast-irOn
used In San Francisco.
AS the city Intends to purchase aud To-
cate ZOO0 additional bydrants it was
tnougnt proper matter to discuss

BERKELEY.

Tho agitation demanding the removal OF
the Pinole Powder Works is settling down
as result of sober afterthought. For
while the people of Berkeley urged their
Trustees to cause the removal of the
works, but as they realize that an explo-
sion at Pinole would not affect Berkeley
and that 10 powder is manufactured south
Of there the matter will be allowed to drop.
Overhanging Hedges.
Some time ago the Board OF Trustees
ordered property-owners to cut off all over
hanging hedges. as they became receptacles
for dirt to be showered again upon pass
ers-hy. AS yet the ordnance has not been
obeyed, aSd 1t may be necessary for the
town authorities to enforce the regulation.
Cement Sidewalks.
Some residents are objectIng to the uni
form plan of cement sidewalks adopted by
the Board of Trustees, claiming that those
already laid crack and break up. These,
however. were laid withont proper regard
for the local conditions. Berkelsy's soil be-
ing an adobe, which shrinks 10 the summer
heat away from the stone walk, leaving it
easily breakable. AS. however, it is but
necessary to sufficiently increase the sand
layer on which the walk Is laid to do en-
tirely away with this objection. the pro-
tests against cement walks will not re-
ceive serious attention.

Mrs. Ben Morgan will accompany party

SALMON = FISHING.
A Fad Which Has Caught
Santa Cruz.
TROLLING IN THE SCHOOLS
One Days Catch of Fifteen Fish
Weighing Over Three Hundred
and Ten Pounds.

Since the time that the first line and
hook were cast into the waters of this
coast by white men there has not been such
treat offered in the way Of fishing as is
now to be had In Monterey Bay.
For three weeks past the sport of SAL
mon-fshing has been enjoyed bv numbers
of people. Every day anglers are leaving
this city equipped with bass rods and
strong tackle for the waters where the fish
abound.
During the past week between three and
four hundred salmon, running in weight
from ten pounds to fifty pounds, have been
taken from Monterey Bay and shipped to
this city.
The cause of the unprecedented run of
salmon in the waters of Monterey at this
time of year is entirely owing to the large
schools of sardines which made their ap-
pearance about two months ago and still
remain sporting in their element.
Among the lucky fishermen who cap
tured numbers of salmon last week were

mitted Suicide.
SPECIAL to THE MORNING CALL.

SEATTLE. July 21.-An unknown man
and a woman were drowned In Lake

aboard steam launch to be struggling in
the water.
The woman signaled the launch, and
when it came alongside she was weeping,
but declined 10 get on board.

married Alexander E. Gould. and for a
number of years the pair lived happily
together. A daughter, whom they named
Ruby. was born to the couple eight years
ago. There were no other children.
During the past tlo years friends of the
family noticed that"there was not perfect
harmony between Mr.. and Mrs. Gould.
The husband was much away from home
and became neglectful, while the wife
grew jealous. nor did she attempt to con
ceal her jealousy.
The unhappiness eliminated in the filing
of complaint for divorce by Mary
Gould against Alexander E. Gould last
April. The grounds upon which the di-
vorce was asked we're habitual drunken
ness, extreme cruelty and unfaithfulness,
Julia Craig being named AS correspondent.
The divorce case has not been heard. 1t
Is supposed that the unfortunate woman
lost her reason as result of brooding over
her marital troubles. The child Ruby is
being cared for by her maternal relatives.

DALEY ON TRIAL.
History of the Terrible Tragedy at
the POtrerO.

the POtrerO.
The trial Of. Daniel Daley for man.
slaughter was commenced in Judge Sea-
wells court yesterday. Daley it was who
shot and killed John j. Lawton at the
Potraro, on the morning of the 7th of last
May.
Assistant District Attorney Hinkle is
conducting the prosecution, while General
Dickinson and Attorney j. II. Long repre-
sent the defendant. The dead mans
widow and Mrs. Michael Lawton. con-
cerning whom the whole matter arose,
were IN court; and Michael Lawton occu-
pied seat close to the prosecuting attor-
ney.
Hinkle in his opening address to the jury
gave the facts and the history of the case
at considerable length. While admitting
that the charge of murder could not pos
sibly prevail in a case like this he urged
the jury to convict Daley of manslauRhter.
Against this rose Attorney Long, who
spoke very energetically at the jury in his
endeavor to impress upon them the ncon-
trovertible fact that no intimacy had ever
existed between Daley and Mrs. Michael
Lawton. and that the men broke into
Daley's room on that memorable morning
for that purpose. and that when Daley
fired it was in terror af his life and simply
pure case of self-defense. And SO the
first witness was put on the stand.
Michael Lawton said that he resided on
Connecticut street and had worked for
tweDty-three years at the Union Iron
Works. Daley had roomed at his place for
three months prior to the shooting. Law
ton in giving his evidence did not appear
the least abashed, but told tho story of
how he had never had cause to suspect
his wife before. and how he would not
have done so in this case had not the
neighbors told him enough to convince
him that something was wrong. "Why,
don't you know" said one neighbor,
daley wants your wife. not you." and so
forth.
Then Law ton went on to tell of the
artful way in which he had laid trap for
Daley. The whole story OF the sofa and
the hole in the cellar was served up again
for the appreciation of crowd of curious
listeners. He testified to giving the signal
agreed upon at the right moment, and to
his brother and friends rushing into the
room. He heard four shots. but he did
not see who fred them.
There was very little difference between
the proceedings yesterday and those
previously taken befBre the Coroner and
in the Police Court. Michael Lawton',
testimony lasted the whole day. The trial
will be resumed to-day
