Will Link Brutality Murders Peter
Jones Both Colored.
THE MURDERER IS SOON CAPTURED.

The Dead Man Was an Ex-COnvfct and
the Murderer Had a Rad Reputation.
VIII Link a coIored boy 10 years old,
near the corner of Huntoon and Lincoln
streets about supper time last night
The cause of the murder as told by
those who were there, is to the effect
that Link and Jones were in a crowd of
young men standing on Huntoon street,
when girl oftheir acquaintance passed.
Jones made sighting remark about her,
and Link declared that Jones wouldn't
dare to make remark like that about
his (Link's) sister. Jones replied that he
might if he chose to, and didn't think
Link was able to do anything about it..
This led to calling each other names and
general profanity, but no blows were ex-
changed.
Link went home and got a sharp
pocket knife. He then returned to
where Jones was standing, and with one
vicious stab inflicted a cut on the lett
side of the neck that proved fatal in a
few minutes. The wound extended from
the right side of the neck across to the
front of the chin. The jugular vein was
cut, and also the right carotid artery.
The wounded man ran nearly two blocks
to Buchanan school, where he stopped
and leaned against a fence, almost ex-
hausted Two men who saw his condi-
ton made him as comfortable as posi-
BILE on the grass, but he died two minutes
later, before medical aid arrived
After committing the murder Link
ran west for two blocks aud then went
north towards Potwin. He had fully
thirty minutes start of the policemen but
he was captured at Valencia, sixteen
miles west of Topeka, this morning
about 1 o'clock and arrived in Topeka
about 4 a. N.
Three parties were put on the trail Of
the murderer. Captain Gardner, Henry
Aye and Pete Calliban in the patro
wagon traced him all the way to Valen
cia. Under Sheriff Tom Wilkerson anc
Officers Ewing and Pinkston walked al
the way but found traces of him the en-
tire distance. Sheriff Burdge and Dep

AGAINST PROHIBITION.
Commission Thinks 1t Would Not Be
a Good Thing For Canada

OTTAWA, Ont, April 25.-Two years
ago the Dominion appointed a prohibit
ton commission of five members to in
quire into and report on the question of
total prohibition for Canada The COM
missioners have come to the conclusion,
with the exception of Rev. DR. Mcleod,
the prohibition member. that the effect
of prohibition on the various provinces
of the Dominion would be to wipe very
large and important manufacturing bus
mess out
Operations in Kansas, Iowa and Maine
lead them to believe that the prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
cants could not be enforced in Canada
any more than in the states.

SPORT NEAR UKIAH.
Where the Lovers of Nature and
Angling May Go.

UKIAH, May II, 1S95.-The much
wished-for warm weather has set in and
the time is ripe for the full enjoyment of
trout-hshing, such as only Mendocino
streams afford.
For the benefit of the readers of the CALL
it might be well to give locations of the
streams reached from the San Francisco
and North Pacific Railway Company as a
guide to those desiring sport along that
line in Mendocino County.
number of the finest streams may be
reached. The distance is about four hours
from San Francisco, and either the morn
ing or evening train can be taken. Feliz
Creek, which runs through the town, in
itself affords, with its tributaries, as much
as ten miles of stream, upon which the
sport is always good. Pieta station, the
place on the railroad that Lake County
points is reached from. is in proximity to
good streams also. Pieta Creek affords
some five or six miles good fishing, and one
is always near his hotel and trains At
either of these points one can adapt his
| time if limited to either the morning or
evening train. If he desires morning fish
ing he can take the evening train, or vice
versa.
At any point on Russian River, in the
| main river, sport of the richest quality
| may be had in the deeper pools where the
"sporty boys" are lying close in the shade,
ready to give gamey fight to the angler
| that lures them to the hook. From Ukiah
any number of good streams may be
reached in drives of from thirty minutes
| to two or three hours.
| Mill Creek and Mcclure Creek, near the
asylum; Robinson Creek, about three
| miles south of town, affording four or five
| miles of as pretty trout stream as flows
Orr Creek, which flows through the cor
porate limits of Ukiah; Ackerman Greek,
Creek, but ride-shot from it; Cold Creek,
on the Potter Valley and Lakeport road
| Forsythe Creek, the main branch of Rus
| sian River, with its tributary, Mill Greek,
and its extension, the famous fishing
stream, Walker Valley Creek, are all easily
| reached from Ukiah in drives ranging all
| the way from thirty minutes to two hours.
| The lover of good sport can find enough
| to make his heart glad during the whole
season, and if sojourning at Ukiah can
change streams almost every day for a
| month. One does not need trunkful of
paraphernalia either. A rough suit of any
cheap but stout material a soft hat or cap
and pair of gum boots with leather sole
| and nails and a change of clothing to be
donned after the trip are enough in the
way of dress. A fairly good rod with reel
and an assortment of flies and creel OF
basket costing about 81, and one is
equipped for sport.
| / would advise an extra tip or two for
| the rod and hooks smaller than No. Say
| Nos. 10 or ID.
| The field briefly described here is chiefly
for those desiring hurried outings by way
of the railroad. The streams at a distance
and where longer trips and more prepare
ton are necessary, will be reserved for a

inent sportsmen are urging the formation
of a county organization, to be known as
the County Executive Council, to be COM
posed of delegates from the different ath
.letic and sporting associations of the
county. The objects of the council will be
to secure proper legislation for the protec-
ton of fish and game, and to see that ex-
listing laws are enforced. Such an organi-
cation could accomplish a great deal OF
good in this county, and it is to be hoped
that Mr.. Prindiville and his associates will
be successful in their efforts.
At present all the work of protecting
fish and game and enforcing the laws per-
tanning thereto has fallen on the Gilroy
Sportsmen' 8 Protective Association, which,
at its own expense, has had the streams in
that vicinity patrolled. The association has
had five arrests made for violations of the
game laws, and secured four convictions.

sanctum to think it over, and the result of
my thought is that the wheel is as proper
for women as for men. A woman on a
bicycle in street costume looks about as
well as one would on horseback in evening
dress.
We have simply reached that point of
our existence where we are going to be
sensible enough to dress for the occasion.
We surely would not appear at an after
noon tea in bloomers or attend the Gov
ernor's reception in a dainty morning
gown. Then why ride wheel in walking

+ Rumors or warI A little bird has whis-
pered in mine ear that new ladies' club
is to be formed, the objection to the old

and lack of club interest. This new club,
l am told, is to be conducted strictly upon
business principles. "A clubroom in the

COURT COULDN'T MOVE HIM.
Ex-Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue Murphy, Who Guarded
His Records, Speaks in Praise Of
Paine's Celery Compound.

Ex-Coilector of Internal Revenue Thomas.
f. Murphy of Maine. who was brought
into prominence all over the country dur
ing President Cleveland's first administra-
ton by refusing to allow certain civil
officials to peruse his records; heartily in-
dorses Paine's celery compound. -.
Mr.. Murphy isa keen observer. He is
writer of no mean ability; has been em-
ployed as editor and editorial writer on
several papers; is recognized throughout
Maine as forcibe and convincing speaker
and is universally liked. At present he
represents a big Boston house on the road,
where his warm geniality makes him well
come to every hotel and railway train.
In the smoking compartment of parlor-
car last week he was praisipg Paine's
celery compound to a fellow-passenger.
The person to whom he addressed his con-
versation had been laid up with the grip.
The malady left him in bad way-a sort
of depression of spirits and a disinclination
for business.

"After wrestling week with the grip it
left me depressed and weak. One flight OF
stairs was enough TO make me puf and

RICHARD WAS ROUGH.
Why Mrs. Murphy Had Warrant Issued
for His Arrest.

There was trouble in the house of Widow
Ada Murphy, 81 Natoma street, on Thurs
day night, and all because an ardent ad-
mirer, one Richard Hughes, insisted upon
courting her in manner in every way at
variance with the etiquette of Cupid.
According to all accounts Richard waited
upon the widow arrayed like the immor-
tai McGinty in his best suit of clothes, and
after a few preliminary skirmishes, which
were supposed to be indicative of his ten
der feelings, he proposed that they be
married. Mrs. Murphy was not inclined
to look with favor upon such a sudden
dash into the matrimonial sea and de-
clared herself in emphatic language.
Then, the widow says, the lovelight in
Richards eyes died away and he angrily
seized her by the throat and in genuine
border-ruffian style declared that she
would be his orwell, she got away from
him and yesterday morning appeared in
Police Court 2 and had warrant issued
for her would-be lovers arrest upon a
charge of threats against life.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May f7.-Local
gun-lovers are limiting strongly at State

to take place during. the time of the ap-
preaching State fair.
The Sunday shoots at the KimbaA and
Upson grounds have become fad.
Every one seems to be verging on the
insane in cycling circles in this city: old
and young, rich and poor, all affect the
wheel and roll merrily through the city
and its outskirts on moonlight nights; nor
is the fad confined exclusively to this city.
Stewart Epson, who holds goodness knows
how many records, states that there is an
unprecedented demand for wheels and
their accessories in Colusa, Red Bluff and
Redding, and that the majority of the
ladies of these vicinities have copied the
example set by the better class of their
Sacramento sisters in setting at defiance
the bygone conventionalities of society by
affecting bloomers. and are rapidly attain
ing rugged health and perfect form.
!: The century run of last Sunday week was
total failure, as the roads were heavy and
the threatening mist of early morning
developed into a heavy downpour. The
|. club men are not disheartened, however,
but will make another trial on June 2.
/ Miss Josie Shaw, the seven-year-old pet
of Sacramento cyclists, accompanied her
father and several other wheelmen in a
run to Folsom and return last Sunday, a
distance of forty-four miles all told The
run was made in easy stages, much to the
disgust of the little enthusiast who de-
clared her ability to make the round trip
without stagger.
Lovers of the rod are attempting to force
the season by whipping the smaller
streams that trickle down from the

success, as far as heard from, has not been

will leave June for month 8 fishing on
the McCloud River, and anticipates mint
of sport.
1t is stated on good authority that the
trout fishing in the Truckee River is being
ruined by the large quantities of sawdust
that is allowed by local mill-owners to be
carried into its waters. 1t is also claimed
that the fish ladders in the river are in a
wretched state, in fact, nearly impossible.
and considerable discomfort is said to exist
among local sportsmen on these two points.
Fish Warden Helms continues to be a
terror to the violators of the fish and game
law of Sacramento County. During one of
his daily runs in his duckboat he ran on
two men who were busily engaged in draw
ing a net to the shore, near the mouth of
the American River. AS soon as Helms
put in an appearance both men attempted
to give leg bail, but were halted by the
warden's gentle persuasion, backed with a
shotgun. Upon investigation it was found
