cubator in the public school, on Fourth
street, near Shaver, which was used by the
progressive principal of the school to give
his pupils object lessons in the matter of
the development of chickens from the eggs,
came near causing the destruction of the
building this afternoon owing to the explo-
sion of lamp used in heating the incuba-
tor.
1t was at 4:45 P. NJ. that an alarm of fire
was sounded and the lower basement floor
of the school was seen in flames, while
smoke was coming out of the windows all
over the building.
Professor Dunn, principal of the school,
was on the top floor at the time of the fire,
instructing a pupil in private lessons.
When Dunn and the pupil noticed the
smoke they fastened to notify the ianitor,
and the THREE endeavored to extinguish
the flames with the chemical apparatus
used in the school, and also with buckets
of water, but their efforts proved unavail-
ing, and then the Fire Department was
notified. There was north wind blowing
at the time, and there was great fear that
the entire schoolhouse and the large Epis-
copal church adjoining would be burned.
If such had been the case tine best part of
the business portion of San Rafael would
have been in ruins. The Fire Department,
however, soon extinguished the flames.
The damage to the building is about $1,000
by fire and water. The loss is covered by
insurance. This is the second time within
year that the school has been on fire.

Who Examined Blood-StainS on
His Clothing.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, Aug. g.
Frank Feliz was placed on trial to-day in
the Superior Court, charged with the MUIR
der of Jose Ygnacio Villa. The case is
stubbornly contested and promises to be-
come noted one, both sides having ex-
tensive family connections in this county.
On the morning of April II Jose Ygna-
clio Villa, wealthy rancher, was found in
a yard in the rear of questionable house,
with his skull fractured by the blows of
some blunt instrument. At the inquest
strong circumstantial evidence YVES pro-
duced against Frank Feliz, Perfirio Alyiso
and t. Lalolu, who were Immediately ar
rested and charged with the murder. On
the day following the crime bloodstains
were found on overalls worn by Frank
Feliz, who explained that he had been
bhtchering a beef. Thomas Price, we'll
known expert, made an examination of
the stains, and his testimony will have an
important bearing on the case.
A special venire of forty-one citizens was
exhausted and an extra venire for twenty
five was necessary to obtain the twelve
jurymen to try the case. The town is
overrun with the large number of wit
nesses summoned, together with the many
interested on either side.
District Attorney F. A. Dorm is prose-
cutting, and Graves & Graves are conduct

RED MEN At REDWOOD.
Chiefs of Thirty-TWo Tribes
Unite in the Great
Council.
Public Reception Given in the Bril-
llantly Illuminated Indian
Village.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Aug. 6.-The
Great Council of Red Men organized this
morning. Repre- sentatives from thirty
two out of the thirty-nine tribes of the
State were present. The committee on
credentials reported gain of twenty-five
new representatives. One hundred and
twenty-five members answered the roll
call
Reports of the great chiefs were read and
referred to a committee. Several minor
amendments to the constitution were made,
and the remaining time of the council was
taken up in considering the proposed en-
dowment plan of fraternal Insurance, as
outlined in the last report of Great Sachem
O. F. Seavey. The matter was finally re-
ferred to special committee, which, it is
expected, will report tomorrow.
Tonight the Indian village was lighted
by hundreds of lanterns. There was a
band concert and public reception. The
whole town was brilliantly illuminated,
strings of lanterns crossing the streets in
many places, and being hung in double
string 100 feet high from the flag pole in
front of the Courthouse. There was also a
very interesting programme of vocal and
instrumental music at the public school
gymnasium building, and speech of well
come to the Redmen was made by Alexan-
der Gordon, Mayor of Redwood.
The programme for tomorrow will in
clude a continuation of the business of the
great council, competitive rendition of

SAWDUST AND FISHES.
Bring Suit Against the Truckee
Lumber Company.

Lumber Company.
The Fish and Game Commissioners were
considerably annoyed last year by the
Truckee Lumber Company, which per-
sisted in dumping the refuse matter from
their mills into the Truckee River, regard
less of the orders issued by the Commits
sioners- The upshot of the matter was
that the Commissioners threatened the
company that suit would be instituted
against it unless the dumping of delete
rious stuff into the river should cease i'm
mediately. The request of the Commits
sioners was complied with finally, and the
river assumed its original and sparkling
appearance.
But again the Fish Commissioners COM
plain. They allege that about month
or so ago the Truckee company tried TIC
hoodwink the Com missioners by dumping
the sawdust of its mills into the river un-
der the cover of night. OF course this
ruined the sport of the anglers, and las,
week Deputy Fish Commissioner Davis
was dispatched to Truckee to look into the
matter. He says he detected the mill
employees in the act of pitching the saw
dust and shavings of the mill into the
stream, and for this he placed the trans
gressors under arrest
The Commissioners say they will compel
the lumber company to observe the law,
and that the river must not be used as a
dumping place by any of the lum Der COM
panies whose mills are located on its
banks. The law on this matter is very
clear. 1t reads:
Every person who places or allows to pass
into any of the waters of this State any lime
gas, tar, cocculus indicus, sawdust, shavings
slabs, edgings, mill or factory refuse or any
demeanor. Any person found guilty of vio-
lation of any of the provisions of this section
shall be fined in a sum not less than 300 or be
imprisoned in the County Jail in the county in
which the conviction shall be had not less than
fifty days, or be punished by both such fine
and imprisonment.

The preliminary examination of G. B.
Henderson, alias Con S. Sullivan, the
bunko man, on the charge of numbering
Clarence Barr the Chinatown guide, in
the Baldwin Hotel bar on July IA, was
held before Judge Low yesterday afternoon.
The same witnesses who testified at the
Coroner's inquest gave their evidence, and
no new facts were brought out. 1t was
shown that twice after Barr had slapped
Henderson's face for calling him liar he
returned to the bar, and on the second &C.
casion he plunged the knife into Bars
abdomen without any provocatiop.
Judge Low held Henderson to answer
before the Superior Court without BAIL
When Henderson was asked as to
whether he was Con Sullivan he has always
denied it and said he would tell the name
of the firm he travelled for and give other
information at his preliminary examina-
ton. but nothing was said, as his identity
as Sullivan has been too clearly estab-
lished by the police.
