A RACE TO ESCAPE INDIANS.

The Drivers Never Remembered That
They Had Guns.
In August of 1866 / was running bull
train between Helena and Fort Benton
After going about two miles / shot ard
wounded an old doe antelope, accompanied
by two fawns, and L determined that
would have all three of those animals
and gave chase, firing whenever l could
get within range, until had exhausted my
ammunition, says writer in the sun
River tMont1 sun. This was before the
days of bTeech loading gurs. i finally
got the two fawns and tied them on be-
hind my saddle ard started TO catch up
with the tran" l was as much as six
miles behind, without a cap or a bullet,
only two empty six shooters ard a rifle.
| noticed that my saddle pony kept turning
TO the left. Finally looked over that way
myself and could see the head ard shoulders
of a person down in the coulee. l spurred
into gallop ard in a moment could see that
there were eight persons fpstead of one,
and also that they were Piegan Indians
in full war paint ana feathers. They i'm
mediately gave chase and for the rext six
miles occurred one OF the most exciting
races that / ever took part in.
Seeing that the weight of the fawps was
telling on the speed of my horse, / cut
them loose and at the same time threw
dN dS NY oNeiCodt- ana, tdklNS tHe ram
rod out OF my rifle, used IL as whip
and gained a little on my pursuers.
The last two miles of the race was IN
plain view of the train. The train halted
and l supposed that one OF the drivers
would come to my assistance, but no re-
lief came; they dropped their whips and
jaws at the same time and waved their hats
and hands and halloed: RUM" | was
doing the best could The Indians chased
me to within about $50 yards OF the train,
when Bob Chestnut now of the Chestnut
Valley, came in sight from the direction of
Sun River ard opened fire on the Indians
They stopped chasing me ard ran the
other way. II never occurred to the
drivers that they had guns until Mr.. Chest
nut commenced firing

DAMAGE TO MENDOCINO CROPS.
Hop Fields Suffer From the HeGpy Rain
sfOr91y.

UKIAH, CAL, Sept. 13.-The rainfall
which has prevailed in this part of the
country for the last two or three DAYS has
done large amount of damage, ard it is
feared that if the rain does not so9n cease
the hop crop this year will be total fail
ure. As it is now, the price of hops this
season has been so low that many growers
have preferred to let their crops rest in the
fields rather than be at the expense of
picking. Many who were picking have
been obliged to stand by and see their
pickers leaving the fields in order to seek
shelter from the rains. Taken all in all.
there is good prospect that next year
many fields that now present the pictur-
esque sights of hop-picking will be devoted
to the culture of grain or fruits. In the
language of one of the most prominent
hop growers in the valley: "Hop-growing
is no longer what it is cracked up to be-"
The grass, which affords so staple food
for the sheep and cattle which roam the
hills, has had all the strength taken out of
it by the rain, and stocknen will be
obliged in many cases to feed their live
stock until the young grass springs up. 1t
is feared, also, that much more water will
cause the grapes to crack.
The prune crop this year is light, but
they are not yet ripe enough to be injured
by the rains, and full crop is expected.

ALL HEALDSBURG MOURNS
Death of Professor Lester A.
Stevens After Years of
Painful Illness.
Had Long Been a Sufferer From a
Wound Received During the
Civil War.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, Sept. bah
Healdsburg mourns the death of Professor
Lester A. Stevens, which occurred early
this morning at his home in this city,
under most painful conditions.
During the Civil War Mr.. Stevens did
valorous work for the cause of freedom
and he received fearful wound, rife
ball passing within two inches of his heart
and tearing out three ribs. Since that
time he had never been well man, al
though he has been able to be up and
about. Twenty-three days ago he was
seized by dropsy of the heart, and up to
the time of his death he sat upright, being
unable to lie down. In the most intense
pain, the good man prayed for the relief of
death, and this morning the long struggle
ended.
Lester Stevens was born in Ohio fifty
three years ago. For the past twelve years
he has resided in Sonoma County, being
one of the most thorough instructors in
this section and taking an active interest
in educational work. The funeral will
take place Saturday, the ceremonies being
conducted by Healdsburg Lodge No. 50,
/. o. o. F., and Rod Matheson Post No.
16, G. A. r., of both of which organizations
he was a member.

n barking of coyote goes up from the great

they ought to be making not only good hvings
from their holdings, but moderate fortunes.
Doubtless high freight rates do contribute to
the small profits that these promoters of pomol-
ogy make, but there has appeared an Eastern
genius who imagines that he knows the secret
which keeps the f1uit-grower's nose eternally
at the grindstone. He talks a great deal, and
even if what he says h as no foundation in fact
it is so original that some of his remarks may
bear repetition here. He says: "The trouble is
that your people are as yet unable TO properly
distinguish between mining for gold and grow
ing the festive orange. The old schoolbooks
tell us that gold does not grow on gooseberry
bushes, but on my word some of your orchard
lists think it does. Set them on a racetrack and
what do they do? They are not sin it If they
cannot play as heavily as most Eastern sporting
men, and if you catch one of them, as you will
often do, in game of draw why, he wants to
put the limit so far out of sight that you could
not find it with aman-o'war's searchlight. No,
sir! these two evils are eating the vitals out
of the Californian fruit-grower. Why don't
they play whist or some quiet game that Isl

did they would all make their fortunes in no.

SHOOTING At SEATTLE.

bN q Rejected S,Gifnr.

a Young Girl Probably Fatally Wounded
by Rejected Suitor.
SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 13-Because
she had repeatedly refused to marry him
Frank Johnson, an Engishman 35 years
old, at about 8 o'clock tonight shot
and dangerously wounded Miss Daisy
Wilson, a very pretty girl of sew
enteen summers. Like midnight
assassin he stole up from behind,
shooting the girl three times. The first
ball passed through her right arm; the
second tore off the top of her left ear and
the third, fired while Miss Wilson was w.
ing PROSTATE upon the ground, passed
through the upper portion of her head,
badly fracturing the skull.
Johnson believing he had killed the girl
turned and walked deliberately away, but
was arrested half hour later. Miss Will
son was accompanied at the time of the
shooting by her little sister, 9 years old,
but the child was not harmed.
A year ago when Miss Wilson's mother
was on her deathbed Johnson begged that
she give her consent and urge her daughter
to marry him. This the mother refused to
do, and since then the girl, though never
having encouraged her sutton, has had no
peace of mind.
Johnson seven or eight years ago shot
Mrs. Mcknight in Portland because the
woman had refused his attentions. For
this he was sentenced to seven years in
the penitentiary, but he was pardoned at
the expiration of three years.

NEWS OF Los ANGELES.
William Busby, the Poisoner,
Gives Violent Evidence
of Insanity.
Mrs. Platt Convicted of Applying
the Match to Her Home-A
CycIer Injured.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 13.-William
]. Busby, the colored man who sent bot
tie of wine and strychnine to Pullman
chaircar porter, which killed two other in
nocent men, may be crazy. Early this
morning the trustees of the city jail were
notified that Busby was acting queerly.
He began tearing off his clothes little by
little and by noon had scarcely stitch
left on him. He would run around the
narrow confines of his cell like dog and
bark like one. He became so violent this
afternoon that the iailor was obliged to
tie him down and strap him to the cell.
After tearing off his clothes he began to
tear away at his flesh and threatened to
kill all who came anywhere near him.
DR.. Bryant was summoned after the man
was tied and examined him. He does not
think that Busby is feigning, and two
other physicians who were admitted to the
cell say that Busby has all the symptoms
of violent dementia. Busby's father
stated that at one time several months ago
his son was temporarily insane, and both
he and his mother were greatly worried
over his condition. a watch has been set
over Busby and all his symptoms are being
carefully observed.
A complaint charging Busby with muir
der in the first degree was filed to-day in
the Police Court.

SONOMA'S GRAPE CROP,
The Rain Ceased Falling in
Time to Prevent it's
Destruction.
Increasing the Capacity of Many
Of the County'S Big
Wineries.

HEALDSBURG, CAL, Sept. 13.-The
rain quit falling in the nick of time.
Yesterday the sky cleared and cool wind
commenced blowing from the north which
is continuing to-day. 1t was the turning
point to the successful marketing Of the
10000 tons of grapes in Northern Sonoma.
Yesterday forenoon, when the clouds
were scurrying across lowering sky and
showers came at regular intervals. the faces
of the grape-growers and the dried fruit
men were gloomy. This morning, how
ever, under the influence of the smiling
sun and ripping breeze, their countenances
have taken on changed appearance.
Miller & Hotchkiss, the cannery men
of this place, have some $4,000 worth of
prunes in their drying yard, and had the
rain lasted forty-eight hours longer, the
entire lot would have been dead loss.
Very substantial additions to the capacity
of the various wineries in this district
have been made of late. Probably 200
carpenters and coopers have been engaged
in charging and refitting the various large
wineries and distilleries in the northern
part of Sonoma County. With the largely
increased facilities for handling grapes, it
begins to look as though buyers must
make something of a scramble If they sue
coed in getting the number of tons they
desire.
F. c. Albertz, near Cloverdale, is intend
ing to crush 1000 tons for the purpose of
manufacturing grape syrup.
The large Walden distillery at Geyser-
vile proposes buying 1000 tons to be used
in making brandy.
The plant governed by the "big seven"
at Windsor is in the market for 5000 tons.
which will be converted into sweet wines.
The must condenser at this place has
raised the current price of Mission, Nal
voisie and white grapes 81 per ton. There
will be a large second crop of those varie-
ties this year and the must condenser is
ready to purchase them all.
Taken all in all the grape business will
be very active this season.

TACOMA, WASH, Sept. 13.-Eight Chi

tomorrow will not 60 out.
The Mongols were brought here two
weeks ago from Buffalo. n. Y, where they
had been sentenced. They have since re-
manned in the County Jail, and the Sheriff

Uncle Sam pays for their board, at the
rate of 80 cents per day for each man. The
Deputy Marshals who brought the Chinese
here made no provision for board bill /,

eral authorities have wired to Buffalo for
instructions.
SEATTLE, WASH. Sept. 13.-Seven Chi
nese, the first to be deported from this dis
trict under the exclusion act, were sent
back to The Flowery Kingdom to-day by
Federal Judge Hanford. They claimed to
have been on the Columbia River during
the registration, and SO far from internal
revenue officers that they could not COM
ply with the provisions of the new law.
Upon these presentations Judge Han
ford told the accused that they could pay
the costs of arrest and take out certificates,
but this the Chinese failed to do, claiming
they did not have the money, and the
order of deportation was accordingly car
rled into effect.

NEW POsroFFIcE BUILDING.
Congressman johnson Will Fork for an
Additional ApprOpriatiOn.


additional appropriation.
STOCKTON, CAL. Sept 13.-P. a. Buell.,
president of the Commercial Association,
has received a letter from Congressman
Johnson, saying that he would be able to
visit this city next week to gather data
which will be used by him in an effort to
secure an additional appropriation for
postofice building in this city when Con-
gress meets. The Congressman wrote that
he would like to meet some of the people
of this city in reference to the matter.
Mr.. Buell. read the letter to a number OF
the members of the executive committee
OF the Commercial Association last night,
and although a quorum was not present,
those in attendance decided that they
would act on a matter OF that nature. The.
president was instructed to invite num-
Der of business men to attend a meeting to
be held next Tuesday night, at which time
it will be decided whether or not to hold
mass-meeting on the following Saturday
night.
In March, 1891, A Caminetti, who then
represented this Che Second) Con-
gress1onal District, obtained an appropria-
ton of SIS, 200 for the purchase of site
and the erection of postotfice building
here. When the property was bought
that at the southeast corner of California
and Market streets only $53,877 45 re-
manned for the erection of the building.
AS the people of this city considered the
amount too small for the construction of
suitable public building, it was decided to
wait until an additional appropriation
could be obta ined.
