SCANDAL AND A KILLING.
An Enraged Father Shoots
Three School Dr.
reCtOrS.
They Had Circulated Stories Re.
flecting on the Shooter and
His Daughters.

COMO, CoLo., May THE Coroner
jury to-day found the killing of School Di-
rectors Wyatt, Taylor and McCurdy of the
Tarryan district, by Benjamin Radcliffe, to
be felonious. The triple murder was the
outgrowth of most unsavory scandal.
Radcliffe lives with his two young daugh-
tiers alone.
The girls have never been allowed to
visit town or even neighboring ranches.
Months ago passers-by claimed to have
seen things rejecting upon the father.
Radcliffe had dislike for the school
board because they had refused to build a
schoolhouse on his ranch, and be
imagined the members originated the
stories about him.
This week he heard of rumor that his
daughter was in delicate condition, fol-
which Radcliffe was held responsible. Yes
terday he went to the schoolhouse, know
ing that the school directors would be to-
gether. He waited for awhile for E. R.
CroZier, whom he also connected with the
matter, to arrive. Finally he entered the
schoolhouse and killed his three enemies.
Crozier was only saved by his hardness.
Leaving, Radcliffe went toward Como
looking for Crozier, but missed him. Last
night citizens held a meeting at Jeffer-
son and made arrangements to go to Fair
play tonight to lynch Radcliffe, but Sheriff
Wilson spirited his prisoner away, and his
whereabouts is still a secret.

tie of flowers on Saturday will also be a
novel feature. The Indian pony races and
exhibition of rough riding will prove inter-
esting, bat the main feature in the amuse-
ment line will be riding tournament. In
former years these tournaments was very
popular in Scnoma County. and this
region boosted some of the best horsemen
in the State. So the contest, which is for
liberal prize, is exciting deal OF inter
est. Many teams have entered the fitting
battle, which will take place Friday after
noon. Not fewer than fifty knights on
fiery steeds will try to win the trophies.
In the way of floral exhibits, banks of
ferns, maidenhair, strawberry vines and
wild flowers will compete with the choicest
buds and blossoms of dollhouse and gar
den. From twenty miles in every direc-
ton the gardens will be robbed of all their
blossoms to make up the display In
Healdsburg. Representatives OF the asso-
citation are securing the country to secure
this collection, and everywhere the farmers
and townspeople are willing to send every
flower contained in their gardens. While
amusements will be furnished the amuse
mentioning class the floral display will
interest all.

TO ARREST THE GOVERNOR
Dissatisfied State Employees
After the Scalp of Mr..
Morrill,.
He Says He Offered to Pay Them
for Extra Work Out of His
Own Pocket.

TOPEKA, KANs., May 7. - Governor
Morrill, has returned to Topeka, but
no warrant to arrest him has been
sworn out. Attorneys for Warden Chase
still insist, however, that the ar
rest will be made. Referring to the
vouchers, which are causing him all
this trouble, Governor Morrill, said:
1.-The employees in the Office came to me
and said that they thought they ought to
be paid for the work they did for the State
prior to Inauguration. agreed with them
and proposed to pay them out Of my own
pocket, as we Gid vast amount of work
during that time.
"They would not listen to my PROPOSE
ton to pay them, but insisted that the
work was done for the State, and the State
should pay for it. They asked that vouchers
be made for that work, for extra services
during the LEGISLATURE could not listen
to that.
81 supposed that if had made out those
vouchers for extra services we would
never have heard of it again, but don't
propose to do business in that way"

ately decorated city.
Strangers are already beginning to

plain that the full capacity of the city to

to the test, but it is confidently believed
that all who remain over night will be

the Athen eum following the coronation

vehicles of every description. No less than
200 bicycles gorgeously decorated will take

States law in this instance, adding, II will

DR., Porter, the State health officer, will
visit the quarantine station tomorrow, and
the Infante will be thoroughly examined
end then released tomorrow night.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May THE
action of the Florida State Board of Health
officials in refusing to release the Infanta
Isabella was communicated to the Treas
ury Department to-day.
Secretary Carlisle SAID tonight, in view
of this action, there was nothing more for
his department to do in the matter. If
the vessel is now being held by the State
of Florida under the State laws, that was a
matter with which he could not interfere.
The United States having waived the
provision of the quarantine regulations
through which the Isabella is detained, it
would not be surprising if the Spanish
Government took official notice of the in
cident and lodged complaint with the
department.

Crooked Transfer.
DENVER, Colo, May William h.
Bolthoff, son of Henry Bolthotf, boiler
manufacturer, was arrested yesterday on a
warrant charging him with obtaining
$500 in a mining deal under false pre-
lenses.
George F. Wheeler, wealthy West Vlr-
ginia capitalist is the complaining wit
ness. He alleges that upon October 80,
1894, William H. Bolthoff and Samuel Z.
Corning transferred to him the placer
claims Liebolt, Iron Mountain and Dead

were rich in free gold. November 90 the

HEALDsBURG'S COUNCIL ACTS.
Money Appropriated to Beatttify the Cits
for the CdraiUaL.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, May I'm the
battle of ballots to-day Miss Emma Wild
lund received vote sufficiently large to
retain her in first place. The admirers Of
the Lytton Springs belle are pressing her
claims in manner that is causing the
friends of the candidates from Healdsburg
some uneasiness. Miss Livernash Is Sec
ond in the race, Miss Lena Zane third,
Miss Zoe Bates fourth, Miss Carrie Moul-
ton fifth.
The City Council of Healdsburg desires
to make the flower festival success. This
was evidenced at meeting held by the
board last night, when every request made
by the Floral Association delegates was
granted. The municipality will appropri-
ate funds with which to properly decorate
the City Hall and plaza. 1t was also or
dered that the Street Commissioner see
that the streets are properly sprinkled and
cleaned on carnival days.
"Healdsburg will be at a test at that
time" observed Mayor Young, "and we
must all see that our town is in ship
shape"
So this morning a score of men are at
work in the residence portions of Heads
burg identifying the thoroughfares.
Many seem to be under wrong impress
sion relative to the floral festival. All the
exercises connected with the carnival will
be had in the open air, in full view of the
visitors. The coronation ceremony will
take place in the public square, the plat
form erected being sufficiently high to ena-
BILE all to witness the ceremony. From
this throne her Majesty will issue all
edicts, and she will ride in state through
the business and residence streets.
On Center street all the races will take
place. Men and teams will be put to work
and this broad thoroughfare put in condi-
ton for the races. Rows of seats will be
erected on either side, thus insuring fine
view of all the contests free of any expense.
The floral festival is not money-making
scheme entered into by the people of
Northern Sonoma. Instead, it is a three
days fete intending to give visitors a
proper conception of the floral wealth of
this section, and amusement and recrea-
ton.
The contests are filling finely. In the
several bicycle races not less than 100
wheelmen have already entered. The bat

CHICAGO, ILL, May 7.-Officer Ross
Whitaker of San Francisco arrived in the
city last night, having in custody A. ].
Whitman. The latter was arrested in New
York two weeks ago on charge of forgery.
The officer is taking Whitman back 70 San
Francisco, where the offense it is said, was
committed. Whitman is IS years of age.
Four years ago, it is said, he was Mayor of
Duluth, and he has also been me IN Der for
several terms of the Minnesota Legislature.
His father was A. J. Whitman, a wealthy
lumberman who died five years ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at nearly 81, 600 900.
Several months ago Whitman, it is said,
was in San Francisco. While there it is
claimed he presented check for $500 at
the Nevada Bank. 1t was drawn on the
Farmers and Traders Bank of New York,
and was signed by Frank Dixon and in
dorsed by A. ]. Whitman. 1t was claimed
the check was forged. Whitman was ar
rested in Detroit, but was released on
habeas corpus proceedings. In New York
four attempts by the same means were
made to secure his freedom, but Officer
Whitaker finally succeeded in getting him
started for San Francisco. The prisoner
spent last night at the Central Station
and will be taken West this evening.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May THE ex-
aiming trial of Fulton Gordon, who
killed his wife and Arch Dixon Brown a
week ago, was to-day commenced in the
District Court.
The evidence produced TODAY was in
substance the same as has already been
published regarding the tragedy. There
was hot argument over the admission OF
Gordon's statement to the officers after the
killing. Gordon's counsel claimed that he
was in such condition both mentally and
physically as not to be able to make an in
telligent statement.
The prosecution contended that all the
evidence went to show that Gordon had
acted coolly and deliberately and that his
confession to the police officers should,
under the laws of evidence, be admitted.
Judge Thompson said he would take the
question under consideration until to-
morrow.

resolutions were adopted reciting that for
many years past the constitution of the

institutions of like nature, from which
they cannot be released except by expen-

CYCLONE SUFFERERS.
Many Kansas Families Are IN Great
Distress.

NEWTON, KANs., May 7.-Twenty-five
families rendered homeless by last Wednes-
days cyclone are badly in need OF help.
Committees have been at work in Harvey
and adjoining counties, but the returns are
not sufficient to fulfill the requirements of
the sufferers. 1t is expected. however,
that in day or so more supplies will come
and the needy will be relieved.
Resolutions have been passed by mass
meeting asking the County Commissioners
to make an additional appropriation of the
funds of the county to aid the sufferers. 1t
is probable that about one-ffth of the de-
stroyed property will be restored to the
losers by the charitable institutions of the
county.
