SANTA ROSA DEDICATION.
The New High School Building
Opened With Imposing
Ceremony.
A Pretty and Commodious Struc-
ture, Modernly Equipped In
All Departments.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Oct. THE new
High School building on Humbold street
was formally dedicated to educational pur-
poses this morning. The programme ar
ranged for the occasion was an appropriate
one. The chief feature was the address by
Rev. William Martin, formerly of Oak
land and now pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church here. 1t was full of good
points, and was frequently applauded by
the vast audience that crowded the assem-
bly, hall and the Railways leading into it.
The formal act of dedication was made
by r. G. Moody, president of the Board OF
Education. The new building presents a
handsome appearance. From the founda-
tion it stretches up until at the top of
the fagpole height of 125 feet is reached.
There are $4,000 bricks in the huge Chin
ney. The school lot is commodious one,
300x200 feet in dimensions.
The building has cost about $50, 600, the
sum voted for that purpose four months
ago. The work of erection has been car
ried on rapidly and reflects credit on the
Board of Education. The interior is equally
handsome and very conveniently arranged
The blyroom is 70x52 feet in size,
the various classrooms are 30x32 feet, and
the height from floor to ceiling IA feet.
The rooms are furnished in mountain pine
and the seats are armchairs with rests.

PASADENA FRUIT-GRoWERs.
Reports of the Output During the Asso-
ciatio1s's First Year.


PASADENA, CAL, Oct. THE Pasa-
dena Fruit-growers' Association held its
annual meeting this afternoon at the City
Hall, and reports of the years work were
submitted to the stockholders. This is the
first year of the association, and while
there is a general dissatisfaction among
growers over the results, especially in re-
gard to receipts, the general sense of the
meeting was that the past year was pecul-
iarly disastrous to growers through various
combinations of circumstances, but that
the future of California's fruit industry IS
largely dependent upon cooperation and
a continuance of the association.
The secretary's report showed 21,010
boxes of oranges and lemons handled dur
ing the year, and that the net proceeds to
growers was as follows: Fancy navels,
81 81 per box; choice navels, 81 33; stand
ard, 92 cents: choice, n cents; standard,
SO cents; choice seedlings regular, 27
cents; choice seedlings, off, u cents;
standard, regular, 511 cents; choice Med
iterranean sweets, regular: % cents; choice
Mediterranean sweets, off, % cents;
lemons 70 cents.

A SHOOTING At FRESNO,
Policeman CaufieId Wounded
by RanCher Pero In a
Saloon.
Brutal Attempt to Murder Follow.
ing a Quarrel Over
Dice.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 7-Police Officer P.
a. Caufield was dangerously shot tonight
by rancher named Henry Pero in ba OK
room of Mills saloon, at the corner of and
Kern streets.
The bullet entered between the Sec
ond and third ribs below the right
shoulder. passed through the top OF
the lung and lodged IN the shoulder.
Pero and Csufield had been shaking dice
for drinks and an alteration arose over
the payment of % cents for the
drinks, Hot words were passed, but
the trouble was amicably settled. Pero
then bought drinks for both, and from all
appearances they were the best of friends.
Presently Pero called Garfield out into a
back room, and there, according to the
latter's statement, Pero whipped out a
pistol and exclaimed: 81 will give you
what you are looking for" He pulled the
trigger and CaufeId fell.
No one else was in the room at the time
of the shooting, but when Barkeeper
Casey heard the shot he rushed toward
the room. Pero came out of the door
with the smoking revolver in his hand,
and seeing Casey, eveIed the pistol at
him. The barkeeper jumped back and
cried out TO Pero not to shoot him.
Pero then ran out through a side
door and hurriedly untying his team,
which was hitched there, jumped into
the wagon and started away with
the horses on gallop. Shortly
after Pero had left, CaufieId, who had re-
mained in the back room, called the bar
Keeper and told him that he was shot.
The barkeeper then sent for medical as
sistance.
The wound, though not necessarily fatal,
is a dangerous one. At the time of the
shooting Caufield was off duty and un-
armed.
Caufield and Pero, and especially the
latter, were much the worse from liquor
when the shooting occurred. Pero is a
well-to-do rancher and bears hard repu-
tation.
Officers have gone out tonight in differ
ent directions after Pero, although it is be-
lieved that he will make for the noun.

TRAGEDY ON A STREET.
Four Shots Fired While Spec
tators Tried to Separate
the Men.
THREE BULLETS TOOK EFFECT
A DISPUTE Over the Payment of
Bill Led to the
Murder.

WILLOWS, CAL, Oct. 7.-Editor W. A
sehorn this evening shot and killed J. E.
Putnam, a member of a local firm OF drug
gists.
The tragedy took place IN fr0lt of Put
nam's store on Tehama street, In the view
of a score of spect ators, who tried vainly
to prevent it. Four shots were fred,
three bullets burying themselves in Put
nam's body.
1t appears that during the settlement of
accounts on the first of the month between
Editor Sehorn and Putnam & Walker
there was a difference OF a few
dollars in favor of the latter, and
they made a demand on Sehorn for
the amount. At the meeting of Sehorn
and Putnam this evening the trouble over
the bill was renewed. Angry words were
exchanged; then Senorn drew a pistol
and shot four times at Putnam, three of
the bullets taking effect in his body. One
entered the abdomen, the second the dIa-
phragm and the third lodged in the neck.
The men were standing on the sidewalk
IN front OF the drugstore when the shoot
ing commenced, but friends tried to
separate them, but when the fourth
shot was fired Putnam fell in the mid
die of the street. He was Immediately
carried into the drug store, but life was
found to be extinct. Sehorn was taken
away from the scene of the tragedy and
soon gave himself up to Constable Thomas
O'Brien, and later was taken into custody
by Sheriff Stanton.
J. E. Putnam was the senior member of
the firm of Putnam & Walker in the drug
business. He leaves widow and daughter,
the latter the wife of his partner,
Mr.. Walker. He was an old resident of this
city, and was president of the Board of
Trustees. He was one of the leading mem
bers of the Baptist church and also a
member of the Masonic lodge.
DR.. w. A. Sehorn has been editor of the
Willows Daily and Weekly Journal for
about two years. He is dentist by pro-
fession, but has not followed that call
ing since taking charge of the
Journal. He has wife and one son, and
many relatives in Willows.

Death Of DR.. Buck at His Mountain

SAN JOSE, CAL. Oct. 7.-Howard Rob-
ertson, the 6-year-old son of R. T. Robert
son of Los Gatos, was badly burned about
the neck and arms yesterday afternoon.
While playing around fire with other
children his clothes became ignited. The
children had built fire in lot near the
boys home on Cannery street, Los Gatos,
and were roasting potatoes.
The boys clothes caught fire from a
spark, and enveloped in flames he ran up
the street. A passer-by stopped him and
extinguished the fire, but not before the
boy had been terribly burned. He was re-
moved to his home and a physician called.
The burns are not fatal, but it will be
some time before he will recover.

EUREKA, CAL, Oct. I'D. Giacomini,
rancher living at Kneeland Prairie, COM
mitted suicide this morning by swallowing
the contents of bottle of strychnine. He
took the poison on the street and died in a
wagon on the way to a drugstore. Giaco-
mini was under arrest on a charge of
arson and was unable to obtain bail.
Several days ago a large barn filled with
hay was burned at night. Giacomini had
it leased, and his hay in it was under an
attachment. His watch was found after
ward near the scene, and suspicious tracks
caused his arrest.

DIED IN THE SACRAMENTO
Deb Whites Body Found Near
Where Mrs. FlaVilIe Was
Drowned.
1t Is Thought the Woman Attempted
Suicide and He Tried to
Rescue Her.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. THE mys-
terry surrounding the drowning of Mrs.
David Flaville and the disappearance of
Deb White, river boatman, at midnight
Thursday is deeper than ever. Whites
body was found tonight short distance
above where the woman's was found a day
or two ago, and her watch was secreted in
his pocket, showing by the hands that it
had stopped at 1 20 o'clock in the morning.
This removes all suspicion of murder,
and the only tenable theory seems to be
that the woman gave White her watch
and then jumped into the river; that he
sprang in to save her and both were
drowned.

were no excuse for not producing the

attachment against the three, holding
them in contempt, and they went to jail
pending the procuring of bail.
