STOCKTON, CAL, March 19.-News of a
sad accident that happened yesterday after
noon six miles east of Pennington has
reached here. The two sons of Benjamin
Williamson, wealthy farmer, went to
play in an clubhouse OH the farm which was
occupied as sleeping place by the men
employed on the ranch.
The boys were aged and years respec-
lively. They got hold of loaded pistol,
aud as result the younger of the lads was
shot through the head. He died last night
from the effect of the wound. The elder
brother was so terrified that he could give
no explanation as to how the accident &C.
Cured. 1t is not known whether he had
the revolver and accidentally shot his
brother, or whether the latter was playing
with the dangerous weapon and shot
himself.

with you on that proposition from one end
OF the line to the other, whatever the route
may be- =
William Hammond Hall, discussing the
two routes from Golden Gate Park, said:
The east or ridge route presents the
most decided advantages in scenic attrac-
lions, and if the details of grade are not
decidedly prohibitory it is the better route.
Considered purely from pecuniary stand
point l should say that if the property
owners mentioned along the ridge route
are willing to give the right OF way and
construct the road through their lands,
and those. along the other route are not
willing to assist to the same extent, l
should favor the ridge route.
This boulevard, 1 suppose, is to be for
pleasure travel and light traffic, and under
our system of road government we have no
power apparently to regulate travel. These
so-called Objectionable grades would act as
natural tollgates against heavy and unde-
sirable travel and would not materially
interfere with the travel for which the
boulevard is intended"
The persons owning property along the
ridge route, mentioned in yesterdays CALL
as being willing to do the work on the road
way through their property, reiterated
their offer, and said they had no desire to
oppose the other route if that should be
selected. They favor the boulevard and
are ready to do their share of the work if
it is made possible for them to do so.
There is possibility that both routes may
be laid out and completed, in which event
coaching parties and other drivers of teams
may take their choice.

THE BOULEVARD LINK.
IT WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE
HALF-MILLION CLUB.


HALF-MILLIoN CLUB.
The desirability of a boulevard through
the city from north to south, connecting
Golden Gate Park with the terminus of the
San Jose grand boulevard, is recognized
by members of the Half Million Club and
the proposition outlined in the CALL yes
terday will be presented to that organiza-
| ton by Mr.. Sonntag. But that route will
have no preference over any other through
the city, unless its promoters may be able
| to show its superior advantages.
| Mayor Sutro declared yesterday that this
route is Objectionable, because it is not di-
rect enough and encounters some unde-
sirable grades.
81 have no objection to the building of
such a driveway" he said yesterday,
though it couldn't be called boulevard.
1t is not straight and level enough to be
thus distinguished. II should be from
north to south all the way to escape the
east and west winds. Here is a better
| route"
| Mayor Sutro indicated on a map about
| where he thought the boulevard should
run. 1t is a feasible route and has prob
ably less percentage of grade, but lacks
something in scenery. 1t would, however,
accomplish the same object, an almost di-
! rect line from the park to the southern
| limit of the city. This is practically the
| route he suggested: A line leaving the
Almshouse road at point near the juno
| ton of the Market-street extension, run
| ming south along the west side of Italian
| Hill, then bearing to the west along the
| San Miguel road and striking again into
| the Market-street extension at point
where that street turns abruptly to the
| west. Thence the route will run directly
| south along the west side of the new race
! track and along the east side line of
| Rancho Laguna de la MERGED.
81 am not in favor of building boule-
| ward on particular route merely because
| certain property want it to run
through their lands. This should be a
driveway for the people, not for land
owners"
"Who owns the land on the route you
propose?"
81 own the most of it. The Spring VAL
ley Water Company owns some at the
south end"
"Who will build the boulevard over the
route you propose-will your"
ssNo. I will give the right of way
may be. But the other routeSi not the
one for boulevard. The route I suggest
park south to the limit of the city. 1t
ought to be built by the formation of as
sessment districts y
Charles Webb Howard, president of the
Spring Valley Water Company, when
asked if his company would do its share
in building the boulevard, replied:
1--WE never oppose the majority. What
ever the m aiority of those interested agree
| to, we will agree to. l incline to the route
| suggested by Mayor Sutro, because think
it an easier and better one, even if the
scenic attractions are not equal. But if
Mayor Sutro will not do his share-well,
that makes a difference in favor of the
other route.
! "The whole boulevard scheme from the
Golden Gate Park to San Jose is grand
one. 1t ought to be carried out. I am

ROBBERY At ARROYO GRANDE.
Ttoo Masked Men Hold Up the Station
A1eat and Operator.

Ttco Masked Men Hold Up the Station
AGENT and Operator.
ARROYON GRANDE, Mrrch 29.-Two
robbers entered the railway depot at $50
o'clock this evening. One wore mask
and covered Agent H. E. Fry and the
other. who had no mask, covered Operator
Hartwell.
Fry was ordered to open the safe by the
masked man, which he did at the point of
the robbers gun. Then he finished with
the safe and contents, which consisted of
the remittance bag, containing $72 81 and
some checks. He did not take the checks.
The other robber kept his gun nervously
trained on r. w. Hartwell, who was at the
operating table near by.
The masked man found a small watch
belonging to the agents sister, which he
put down, but deliberately took a watch
and chain of the agent valued at 500, and
bearing the name Harley E. Fry in the
case.
The robbers kept their eyes steadily on
the agent and his assistants, and kept
them continually covered with revolvers.
The Sheriff is here, and has men out in
all directions looking for the robbers. A
special arrived with the manager of the
company and others to investigate the rob-
berry.

THE KILLING OF LEE SUNG.
ThrotCn From His Wagon While Pursat-
ing Boys annoying Him.

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 29.-When the
examination of Charles Haggerdon, the
16-year-old boy charged with causing the
killing of Lee Sung, was called in Justice
Goss' court to-day on motion of District
Attorney Harrington the charge was re-
duced to manslaughter. The complaint
had been altered after it had left the Dis
trict Attorneys office so as to make it read
for murder. Young Haggerdon's exam
ination for manslaughter was set for
Thursday, April 4, at 10 A. NJ. Bail was
fixed at $4,000.
District Attorney Harrington in an in
terview this afternoon stated that he
thought it likely that the new complaint
would be dismissed after all, as from the
evidence so far secured the boy is not
guilty. He says he will certainly ask for
dismissal, as he has learned that after the
stone-throwing the Chinaman turned his
horse around and pursued the boys, whip
ping his horse into run, and it was while
he was in full pursuit that the wagon cap
sized, killing the Chinaman.

the real estate market has awakened with
the sale of several large properties. I'M
proyement is in the air all at once.
This situation explains largely the pros
poets of success with the boulevard Every
body is encouraged; the spirit OF enterprise
IS spreading, and everybody is ready to
take hold of a great enterprise tnat Will
mean so much to them. The same general
arguments are advanced by all the leading
men who have taken hold OF 1t. 1t would
meanea rapid increase in desirable popula-
ton, great increase in property values
and the greatest advertisement the county
could receive. The increase in the tax rate
consequent on issuing 100000 or even
5000 worth of bonds would be inslgnifi-
can't, While the consequent increase IN
values would soon, i1f fact, lower it.
So Redwood City people are anticipating
the boulevard with almost as much GER
tainty as the valley road The project has
already been carried so far and been taken
hold OF SO universally by the leading pro-
gressive citizens that the only important
question which can raise doubt of success
is that OF the result of the bond election
that will probably be held within three or
TOUR months. Here, as at San Mateo, the
main fears are of the western side of the
county, but there is a growing belief that
the scheme will be favored there if that
part OF the county is given its share of the
money. Here and there common people
who have not considered the proposition
remark that it would be a rich mans road,
and part of the educational work that
will be done during the bond campaign
will be to show that it would be directly
and indirectly poor mans road as we'll.
There is confid ence that when the PROPOSE
ton is fully canvassed before the public all
classes will unite in its favor almost unani-
mously.
Another promise for the boulevard is
contained in the fact that the country
press Is doing vigorous work in its favor.

wood City, the foothills run out to the bay
and then they sweep backward and on
south across the county line clear to Los
Gatos, leaving between them and the bay
rich and magnificent stretch of valley
plain. The valley along the line of rail-
road and along the county road now holds
nearly all of the population and it will soon
hold vastly increased number of people.
The sweep of foothills offers as lovely and
picturesque sites for homes as can be found
in California. and is as attractive region
as the one that spreads far about San
Mateo. But with the exception of Belmont
and the canyons back of it, where Ralston's
old home, Reeds School and other fine es-
tates nestle unseen amid incompatible
loneliness and the few magnificent estates
back of San Carlos, little to the south,
notably those of Nat G. Britain and Tim
othy Guy Phelps, this stretch of foothills is
unoccupied.
What the bay region of San Mateo
County needs is people who will come to
find homes. Its destiny is to be the great
est and finest suburban region of San
Francisco, and its progress in wealth and
development depends upon it's homes
A"SNSA eAAs1Ai pm ohy iOl1l VI
That is the keynote of the foundation
arguments advanced here in favor of the
boulevard. 1t would do more than any,
thing else to bring people here to build
homes in the quiet valley and dot the
broken, oak-covered, sun-bathed foothills
with the most beautiful homes on these
western shores. The unoccupied foothills
lie mile and half or more west of Red
wood City, and whenever tide of settle
ment sets in this way they will soon be
peopled. Ease and convenience of access
is what will people them.
Redwood City and the rest of this region
is just waking up to vague, glad sense
that time of life and growth is at hand.
Six months ago the big boulevard project
would have been laughed at. But here
the people have fully caught the fever of
life and enterprise that has sprung up
through the State. The valley road first
walked them up, and now that it has just
been assured to them they are jubilant and
confident of the future. Great things are
expected from the valley road, for it will
give them the one great thing needed
quicker and more frequent trains and
cheaper fares. Then in the last few days
