SHE WANTED KATY.
Annie Ford Tells Her Trouble to
the Police and Gets u Warrant.

the Police and Gets II Warrant.
She came in to see Clerk James, of
the police court yesterday. She said
her name was Annie Ford, and that
she wanted to swear out a complaint
against Kate Jackson. She was mad
all through and one count was not at
all sufficient. She wanted the Jackson
woman arrested for disturbing the
peace, using abusive language and as
sault and battery. When Clerk James
called for one thing at a time she
chose battery as the charge and the
complaint was made out accordingly.
1t was only another of those neigh
boris quarrels between women that
come in plenty to the police court
about this time of the year. In this in
dividual case, according to the COM
planning witness, there was no fault
on her side. She is a white woman and
her assailant is a colored woman. She
was laying in her bed yesterday morn
ing, so she says, when the Jackson
woman entered the room and seized
her unawares, taking her by the neck
and attempting to choke her.
"She kept me by the neck and threw
me around the room like dishrag,"
continued the excited complainant.
"She threw me against the furniture
and beat and kicked me in most hor
rible manner. My limbs are fearfully
bruised
The face of Mrs. Ford showed suffi-
cient evidence of i'll treatment. 1t was
plentifully bruised and scratched. Her
neck bore the blue prints of fingers.
In fact, she looked like much abused
woman. A warrant was issued for the
arrest of the Jackson woman, but she
has kept pretty well out of the way.
Her husband left yesterday morning
for the south, and it is thought she in
tends to sell her household belongings
and follow after him.
At late hour this morning the Off
Ger had abandoned the search for the
woman, who is still in the neighbour
hood and in hiding. She will be arrest
ed today.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 2s-Colonel
Philo Hersey, president of the Santa Clara
County Fruit Exchange, IN an interview
yesterday, said:
During the past week the dried-fruit
trade has been lighter than for some time
past, but the limited quantity on hand is
moving off satisfactorily. Reports from
the East state that the fruit held there is
being sold slowly in small lots. At present
there are no apricots in the exchange ware
house. There is about carload of
peaches and few carloads of prunes left,
and there is but little dried fruit held out
side the exchange. During the next two
months dried fruit will be extensively used
throughout the country, and the small
amount on hand will pass into the hands
of consumers.
"It is certain that there will be an aver
age crop of peaches, but the apricot crop
will be light The prune crop will not ex-
ceed that of last year."
Next Saturday the annual meeting of the
directors and stockholders will be held in
the exchange warehouse. 1t is expected
that large proportion of the 500 active
members of the exchange will be present.
There will be general discussion of the
fruit business and an election of officers.

Beat His Wite.

PORT TAMPA, FLA, April 2S.-Edward
Tucker, merchant of this place, was taken
from his home last night and numerically
whipped by female whitecaps. Tucker has
been in the habit of going home drunk and
abusing his wife. Some time ago he was
warned that he must treat his wife better
or he would be severely dealt with.
Last night Tucker went home drunk and
soon Mrs. Tucker was heard screaming.
Shortly after number OF men entered
fuckers residence and dragged him to the
outskirts of the town, where a number OF
women wearing white caps were waiting.
Tucker was stripped to the waist and
lashed to a tree. Then the women, each
of whom was armed with rawhide began
to whip him. fuckers screams were
heard a mile.
When the women finished the skin on
the victims back had been cut in dozens
of places and blood was streaming from
the cuts. Tucker promised never to abuse
his wife again. 1t is said several of the
most prominent ladies of the place were
engaged in the affair.

Organization of an athletic Club and d
Baseball Nine.
HEALDSBURG, CAL, April 2S.-Inter-
est in sporting events has been greatly en-
livened in this city by the organization of
a baseball nine and an athletic club.
With the organization of the athletic
club curious contest has been arranged
to take place at Truitt's Opera-house on
the night of May 4. Charles Moth, the
wrestler, who is in training here, has
agreed to throw G.. Merchant, champion
amateur heavyweight of the Pacific Coast
and Edward and James Petray, local ath-
letes, all in thirty minutes. A six-round
sparring contest will also take place be-
tween Moth and Merchant, and several
bouts will be participated in by local
boxers.

election of ]. J. McDonough, president,
and J. E. Ewing, manager. Grounds have
been secured and the opening game will be
played next Sunday, when the home nine

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 28.-The prohi-
bitionists of the Second and Third wards,
and part of East San Jose, recently filed
petition with the Board of Supervisors
asking that an election be called for the
purpose of organizing sanitary district.
The matter was referred to the District
Attorney, and yesterday he filed an
opinion in which he says the petition for
the formationof a sanitary district in this
county conforms to requirements of the
statutes, and will not interfere with the
exercise of the police powers of the city.
According 10 recent enactment the sani-
tary districts shall have entire control of
the liquor traffic within their limits. The
law has never been thoroughly tested in
the courts, and the saloon-keepers' organi,
zation will make determined fight against
the organization of the district.

WIPED OUT THE POSSE,
Four Officers Killed While At
tempting to Arrest a
Desperate.
They Are Moved Down by a Fusil-
lade Of Bullets Fired From
an Ambush.

CHICAGO, ILL, April 2S.-A Herald
special from Pittsburg, Texas, says:
In a remote section of Titus County, two
miles north of here, yesterday, Constable
Oliver attempted to arrest man named
Belcher for some minor offense. Belche1
resisted, and in the shooting which fol-
lowed Constable Oliver was shot through
the head. Oliver withdrew and secured re-
endorsements in the persons of three men
named Cooper, Frye and Ritchie.
Returning to make the arrest Belcher
and the male members of his family am
bushed the party at Blacks Ridge, on
White Oak River, just about dusk, pour
ing heavy fusillade into the posse from
rifles and revolvers and moved down the
entire party.
Oliver and Cooper were instantly killed,
and Frye and Ritchie fell mortally
wounded. The Belchers mounted their
horses and fed, leaving the dead and dy-
ing officers in the road where they fell.
Armed posses are on the trail, but it is
not believed they viii be captured alive,
and more bloodshed is looked for.

SEATTLE, WASH, April 2S.-In this
country of free elections and numerous
political revolutions, there are few instances
of an office persistently and everlastingly
seeking the man, yet King County has just
such case. For seventeen years j. NJ. E.
Atkinson, Treasurer of this city, has been
Postmaster of Newcastle, mining town a
few miles to the east of Seattle, and for the
past eight years he has made the most des-
perate efforts to get rid of the office, but
without success. 1t has become bugbear
to him, and it seems as if fate had ordained
that the Office should be tied to him until
his dying day.

Men Caught at Portland.
LODI, CAL, April 28.-When shown por-
traits of Smith, Green and Dudley, the
"bhnko-steerers' arrested at Portland and
charged with stealing $1,000 from Jacob
Brack of this place by means of the box
trick, H. c. Gillingham of Woodbridge, a
wealthy and prominent old landowner, at
once recognized the picture of Crooked
mouth Smith as that of man who came
to him week before the Brack episode.
and, representing himself as Los Angeles
banker, wanted to buy some of Gilling-
hams broad acres. The old landowner.
however, was busy at the time and could
not attend to business. The stranger
promised to call again the following Mon
day, but failed to show up, as he was en-
gagged in defrauding Brack.
Others have positively identified Smith
and Green as men who approached them
ostensibly to buy land, but who afterward
failed to keep appointments, and it is
probable that the three will be called upon
to answer for several additional crimes.

MODESTO, CAL, April 28.-The Empire
livery stable in this city was burned last
July and fourteen horses were cremated.
The property belonged to c.. c. Wright
and the business was leased to Samuel
Love. For some time a suspicion of in
cendiarism has rested upon John K. Love,
a son of the lessee, who was the manager
of the stable,
William C. Prescott, his 19-year-old
brother-in-law, to-day made deposition to
the effect that John K. Love set fire to the
stable. Another deposition was made by
Mrs. May Whipple, the widow Of Rev. Mr..
Whipple, who was killed near Crows Land
ing two years ago by S. A. Bauguess, also
charging Love with the crime Wright
swore to complaint and Love was arrested
and his bail fixed at $1,000 which was given.
The accused has long been a resident of
this city, and the news of his arrest caused
considerable excitement.
The dispositions state that Love told the
deponents that the buggies, stock and
horses were insured for more than they
were worth, and that business had not been
paying. They both claim that the hay was
saturated with coal oil before being fired.
In addition to the stable three small houses
were burned

of majority of those in attendance, and
consequently all events announced for that
day were declared off and included in to-
days sport.
The chief interest to-day naturally CEN
tered in the contest for the $500 gold-dust
challenge medal and the championship OF
the Pacific Coast. For this event, which
was twenty-five live bird one, with an en-
trance fee of $40, there were ten entries
representing the cracks of California. II
was won by.Dr. Taber of Riverside, with
twenty-one birds, Martinez Chick of San
Diego running him close second with
twenty birds. Crittenden Robinson, the
former holder of the medal, withdrew
after losing five out of his nineteen birds,
and others dropped out at various stages Of
the game.
All other events were keenly contested
and in view of the fact that the wind was
blowing a gale from the southwest, to-day
performances may be considered fal
above the average. Following are the
highest scores:

1t is the calculation to have the hull and
machinery completed within three months,
though it is hardly to be expected she will
be ready for trial by that time.
At the Office building the court of in
quiry commenced some months ago is still
in progress. When started it was pre-
dicted that a month would elapse before
the court would be able to determine
where the differences existed between the
commander and executive officer of the
Albatross, and the end is not yet.

first of the week. A lot of stores have ar

Strange Story Told by q Man Who TAINTED
to XIII Himself,


SAN JOSE, CAL, April 2s.-A. w. Bow
den was brought to the County Jail to-day
from Mountain View to serve thirty days
for vagrancy.
Bowden is either slightly demented or
else he is the victim of adverse circum-
stances. He says he came to this coast
about six months ago from Nebraska
in search of employment, and, be-
ing taken sick. what little money he had
with him went for medical attendance.
He claims to have $4,000 on deposit at
Wisner, Nebr., and large number of horses
and cattle, besides note for $775 signed
by his brother. He says all attempts to
draw on the bank at Wisner have proved
futile, as no one will identity him.
Bowden had laid down in front of train
near Mountain View, with the intention of
ending his life, and had to be dragged from
the track. His arrest resulted.
