HEROIC ACT At SPOKANE,
An Insane Man SAVED From
Death in a Raging
Whirlpool.
His Rescue Accomplished by Ser
geant Mccall at the Risk Of
His Own Life.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 11.-Sergeant
John ]. Mccall of Fort Sherman made a
remarkable and desperate rescue of an in
sane man to-day. He was in charge of
George Cummings, taking him to the
Government insane asylum. While wait
ing for delayed train, to humor the in
sane man, he was showing him around the
city.
While standing on the bridge of the
electric car line, just above the big falls,
the prisoner suddenly wrenched himself
from the grasp of Mccall and leaped over
the railing into the seething water below.
There is large dam across the river here,
making a strong current where the water
rushes through the gates at the power
house. Cummings, lighting upon his
stomach, was stunned by the fall and the
water was carrying him rapidly toward
the race below, which is a terrible whlrl-
pool from which nothing that has yet en-
tered it has again been seen.
Mccall was not idle for a moment, but
rapidly running around to the dam he
reached the power-house and found rope
hanging down in the water above the
rushing water toward which Cummings
was rapidly drifting. Grasping this, at
the risk of his life, he swung down into the
mad water and grasping the body of Cum
mings managed to pull himself and the
rescued man up to the power-house door.
The whole scene was enacted in a few
minutes, many spectators on the bridge
simply looking on in horror.

DEAD ON MOUNT SONOMA
Remains of Felix Renee Dis
covered-He Committed
Suicide.
Remarkable Letters From a Former
Inmate Of the Home for
Feeble-Minded.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, Sept. 1l.-Coro-
ner Young has just returned from Sonoma,
whittier he went to hold an inquest on the
remains of body found on the top of
Sonoma Mountain, six miles above Glen
Ellen.
On the 10Th of last May Felix Renee, an
inmate of the Home for Feeble minded at
Glen Ellen, mysteriously disappeared. On
Monday last party of hunters were scour-
ing the mountains in quest of deer, and
when on the summit of the high range
back of Sonoma City they came upon a
clump of bushes beneath which on bed
of brush lay the badly decomposed remains
of a man. The Coroner was notified, and
an examination proved that the dead man
was none other than the missing inmate of
the home. Beside him lay a Smith &
Wesson revolver, one chamber of which
was empty, and half dozen walls of
poison, none of which had been used.
The bullet from the empty chamber OF the
revolver had put him to eternal rest.
Close beside the revolver was bundle of
letters addressed to relatives and others,
the following being for the superintendent
of the home:
SONOMA MOUNTAIN, May 10.
Dear Comrdde: have just finished making
myself bed of little green bushes. Ny view
of the home is unobstructed. The Donahue
train has just gone by, so it is about noon.
Please do not worry about me, for die peace
fully in this quiet, lonely spot, with no one but
nature to commune with. Please try and for
get my many faults and remember me as
kindly as possible. bid you all an affection
ate farewell FELIX RENEE.
Another letter was found, addressed as
follows:
To My Fello,c- Men, will try and anticipate
some of your conclusions when you find my
remains, if you ever do.
No, am not insane.
No, am not morbid.
No, / am not diseased.
am in full possession of all my senses and
in excellent health. l am simply weary of liv-
ing in world where thereis nothing but in
ism will cure all this, but before socialism is
possible humanity must be educated, and this
will take time. Do all you can TO bring about
this desirable end. Study socialism and you
will know what it means.
My advice is study science in all it's
branches. Do not let our religions, political or
other fraud muddle your brain; but learn to
study and reason for yourself Above all
things pursue subject until you understand
it clearly.
Speak kindly and act justly to your fellow
man, for without this happiness is not pos
sible.
Read Max Nordaus books. They will en-
large your mental horizon. FELIX RENEE.
The Coroner was instructed in the fol-
lowing manner:
I came from the Home for Predetermined,
just below in the valley. If you have any re-
gard for my wishes, then please let me remain
just where am as do not wish to be buried.
Yours respectfully, FELIX RENEE.
The deceased was 55 years of age, Ger
man by birth and leaves relatives in the
East.

DECORATING HAS COMMENCED.
Twenty-Five Thousand Visitors Ex-
pected to Witness the Fes-
tlvitieS.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Sept. IL
The withdrawal of opposition by the HUI
name Society has stimulated preparations
for the Spanish fiesta next week and work
on the amphitheater is being rushed. 1t will
seat 5000 people. 1t is an immense struc-
ture, having clear arena 100 feet IN di-
ameter, which will give ample room for
the pony races between the Mexicans and
Indians announced for the second day.
Decorations were commenced to-day,
and by tomorrow evening the red, white
and green colors of the sister republic will
cover the business section of the town.
Captain Manuel Larin of Lerdo,
State of Chihuahua. who is captain
of a band of seven toreadors, ar
rived here to-day. He was more
then pleased with the arrangements, say
ing that the area was much larger than he
had any right to expect, and would enable
him to give a splendid exhibition. The
men needed all the room possible, and
here was an abundance. He suggested
change as to the entrance of the arena,
and the change was made at once.
The town already has a number OF
Spanish-American visitors and three
fourths of the hotel accommodations have
been engaged. Los Angeles promises an
attendance of not less than 5000. The
committee estimates an attendance of not
less than $4,000 during the week.
The company of toreadors will arrive
here Sunday morning, and the 200 Goa
huilla Indians, who do the fire dance, will
arrive Tuesday.
Great preparations are in progress for
the barbecue. Six whole. beeves will be
placed in the pits of Goals Sunday night
and allowed to roast until noon Monday,
when the free al fresco dinner will be
served.

Years.
He Reappears to Look After His

PETALUMA, CAL, Sept. Thames
Lightner, son of the late J. T. Lightner of
the old-time draying firm of Lightner &
Cox, Unexpectedly made lis reappear-
ance in this city on Tuesday evening, and
the few old acquaintance who recognized
him thought that they beheld ghost He
is well known Petaluma boy and was
born and reared here, yet after an absence
of fifteen years only two old friends-J. T.
Smith and Ben f. Cox-recognized the
wanuerer.
There is an excuse, however for this, for
Mr.. Lightner has been considered dead
even by his relatives, for several years.
At Bonneville, Mendocino County, wears
ago, he was shot through the body in some
difficulty, and it was given out that he was
dead. He, however, recovered and drifted
around the State.
His father and stepmother have died
and the property of the estate on Keller
street was last year sold, no effort being
made to secure the signature of Mr.. Light
ner, who was not thought to be alive.
Having heard of the sale of the property
he came from Woodland for a settlement.
He wears the full regimentals of the Saliva
ton Army soldier and states that the
army did great deal for him. His bust
ness will keep him in town for several
days, and in the meantime he is busily en-
gagged in renewing old COMMUNICATING.
His brother and sister did not know until
Monday that their brother was alive, and
when he surprised them by appearing un-
announced before them, the shock was a
severe one for both.

MACKEREL At MONTEREY.

Tourists Sailing Dozen Fish to Take
Home Nth Them.
MONTEREY, CAL. Sept. 11.-Never in
the history of Monterey has there been
such an abundance of fish caught in
the waters of this bay as this year. AT
present there are millions of "righta mack
erel running in the bay. For the past
three days this has afforded great sport for
hundreds of tourists as well as local sports
men, and the portion of the bay around
the wharf has been swarming with boats,
while the wharf is fairly crowded with en-
thusiasts Women figure in this sport as
we'll as men, and several have made excel
lent catches. There are no less than 100
boats out daily.
At any hour of the day one can see men,
women and children coming from the
wharf carrying string of mackerel, aver
aging about seventy-tve beautiful speci-
mems. To people from the interior this
sport is unusually interesting, and many
are sailing down barrels of the fish to take
home.
A remarkable incident occurred out at
Pacific Grove yesterday. The loungers on
the beach at that place, while looking to-

WOODBRIDGE DAM REPAIRS.
They Hare Been Con,nenced-Hard CIa,

They Haze Been Conntenced-Hdrd Clan
Is Being Used.
STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 1.-THE work
of repairing the Woodbridge dam has been
commenced. The water has been drawn
out through an opening in the main dam,
and the levee on the left side, where the
break occurred, is being built up. Hard
clay is used this time instead of sand,
which was formerly employed. A month
will be required to complete the work
When the water forced it's way through
the earthwork at the end of the bulkhead
it undermined the latter and carried it
away. The opening, including that in the
bulkhead, was about forty feet wide, and it
will require between $500 and $4,000 to
make good the damage done. Forty thou
sand feet of lumber will be required, and
of this, %, 900 feet is on the ground now
and the rest is ready to be hauled.
It is too late to do much good this year,
because it will be at least month before
water can again be turned into the ditch
but it is necessary to make the repairs
now for next year, on account of the high
water during the winter and the spring,
which would prevent the work being done
in time for irrigation next summer.
The ditch irrigates about 5000 acres Of
land, considerable portion of which is
planted to alfalfa. The inability to irri-
gate last month will cause the loss of one
crop of hay, but the roots will not be in
ured

1t Will Be SoIred ia the Superior Court
of San BernGrdino.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Sept. IL
Suit was begun the Superior Court to-day
against the Board of Supervisors by Miss
Margaret M. Mogeau to recover $50 for
eleven days services as a member of the
County Board of Education. The results
OF this suit will affect every county in the
State.
Heretofore these bills have been paid
without question, but when Miss Mogeau's
bill came up this month in the regular Or
der of business, the District Attorney re-
fused to indorse it, advising the board
that under his construction of the law the
compensation thus earned is fee which
should be turned into the county treasury.
Bills of this character from county super
intendents have been paid throughout the
State without question. Should the Su-
perior Court decide that the compensa-
ton earned by county Superintendent of
Public Instruction as m embers of the
Board of Education is fee to be turned
into the treasury, fifty seven counties in
the State will have grounds for suits
against ffy-seven Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, who served in 1893 and
1894, to recover moneys illegally collected
and appropriated to their own use.

Trotting and Pacing Races at the
Track interrupted by the
DoWnpour.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept 11.-All day
the rain fell in steady persistency, and
Sacramento's gala day fnery is in state
of utter Generalization. The colors in the
carnival draperies have run into each
other, forming wonderful and varied COM
binations that are at once shocking from
an artistic standpoint and comical in
effect.
The steady downpour has not been detri-
mental in a financial standpoint to the
Agricultural Society, as the great pavilion
has drawn a steady throng of busy sight
seers, who express unbounded delight at
the variety and excellency of the exhibits,
which are pronounced by all to be far
superior to those of former years, and the
directors are receiving unbounded en-
comiums upon the excellent method dis
played in all their arrangements.
During lull in the storm this afternoon
the tennis champions, Messrs. Hardy
brothers, competed with Messrs. de Long
and Whitney. The two latter never hav.
ing competed together before were unable
to withstand the heavy volley game put
up by the Hardy contingent, and suffered
defeat, the Hardys winning in one. two,
three order, with score of to 5, 6 to 4
and 6 to 4.
By all odds George de Long put up the
strongest individual game ever seen in this
city. His plays were brilliant, and de-
lighted the hearts of all the local talent,
who express the hope that this feature of
the prize medal contests will be continued
in the future by the State Agricultural So
ciety
