LOS GAT0S' HEROINE.
Phucky Mrs. Leach Shoots at a Burglar Wit
Attempts to Gain an Entrance to
Her Residence

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 11.-Mrs. Leach,
the wife of Los Gatos photographer, is a
plucky little woman and in the future
burglars will give her home wide berth
Last night as the family were about to
retire for the night Mrs. Leach thought
she heard noise on the low standing roof
at the side of the gallery on West Main
street. An investigation, however, failed
to discover the cause and the family re-
tired for the night. About II o'clock they
were awakened by the sound of steady
steps on the roof and Mrs. Leach and her
son Don stole quietly to the front windows
and peered out. They saw the form of a
man crouched down directly under the
window sill. As they stood there the man
arose and began lingering the window
sash.
Mrs. Leach ran to the secretary and

Desperate Fight for Life
With a Mad Buck
at Ukiah.
GSCHWEND'S CLOSE CALL.
Killed the Animal With a Pen
knife After a Struggle of
Twenty Minutes.
HIMSELF TERRIBLY WOUNDED.
Fell Painting From Loss of Blood After
He Had Dispatched the
Beast.
HIMSELF TERRIBLY WOUNDED.

UKLAH, CAL, Nov. ia resident of
Anderson Valley, Alfred Gschwend, ar
rived in town yesterday evening to attend
to business connected with new bark
crushing industry near Boomville. He is
an athletic young man, well built and ap-
parently able to defend himself under any
and all circumstances; but after supper
last evening he had an adventure which
he will not soon forget.
While out for stroll Gschwend wan
dered into the eastern part of town, near
the railroad depot, and for some reason
entered the field OF B. B. Cox, in which
there were grazing large six-prong buck
and doe, together with spike buck and
fawn. Gschwend had hardly set foot
within the Enclosure before he was set upon
by the old buck, which viciously cut the
intruder with his sharp hoofs. Gschwend
grasped the animal by the antlers and re-
treated toward the fence. When he got
there he attempted to get over, but the
buck as soon as he found himself free, re-
newed his attack on GschWend, and,
charging with lowered antlers, brought
him to the ground.
Gschwend called for assistance, but no
one heard him or responded to his cry.
He was becoming weak and was terribly
bruised and lacerated from the sharp hoofs
of the enraged animal, and it was apparent
to him that unless help came soon he
must kill the deer or be killed. In sheer
desperation and suffering from his fearful
wounds he in some manner succeeded in
drawing small knife from his pocket and
with his teeth opened the blade and jabbed
it into the throat of the buck again and
again. The animal reared and plunged,
and then fell lifeless, while Gschwend was
too weak to rise from the ground.
In the battle, which lasted about twenty
minutes, Gschwend received wounds the
scars of which he will bear to his grave.
B. B. Fox, the owner of the deer, has pro-
cured warrant for the arrest of Gschwend
on a charge of malicious mischief for hav-
ing killed the animal.

RESPITE FOR POTTER.
The Proceedings against Him Brought t.
u Sudden CLose

The Proceedings against Him Brought to
Sudden Close.
REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Nov. IL
The proceedings against Jesse Sheldon
Potter were brought to a sudden close, as
far as the prosecution is concerned, in
Judge Bucks court at Redwood City to-
day
f. S. Potts was recalled by ATTORNEY
Pillsbury on crosse-xamination, and an I'M
successful attempt was made to refresh
Mr.. Potts memory about the conversation
with Henry Miller, where Mr.. Miller re-
ferred to Mrs. Lux as MRS. Potter" The
witness evaded the issue and would not
corroborate his former testimony
D. NJ. Delmas made a good point and
then closed for the prosecution. He asked
that several of the papers relating to the
case be placed in evidence and then asked
the defense for three papers heretofore
withheld relating to the visit of ATTORNEYS
McEnerney, CARRIER and Herrin to Judge
Bucks chambers previous to the trial,
when an effort was made by the defense to
have Jesse Potter reinstated in his posi-
ton as executor Of the Charles Lux estate
pending the present proceedings.
Attorney Pillsbury claimed that the
defense was not bound to produce the
papers, but he stated that the defense had
nothing to conceal, and as the papers had
been asked for he now produced them and
they were placed in the custody of the
court.
Early in the trial Mr.. Delmas tried to
get this information, but it was withheld
and he remarked at the time, well, gem
tlemen. it may take long time to do it,
but l will bring all this out before l get
through" And he kept his word. The
case now goes over until Wednesday of
next week, Novem Der 90, when it will be
taken up by the defense, who expect to
finish in four days.

PUNCTURES STEEL PLATES
One of the New German Rifles in
the Possession of a
Californian.
Marvellous Force of the Weapon Shown
in Test at San Der.
nardino.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. IL
BY some means one of the new rifles with
which the German army has Just been
armed has escaped the vigilance of the
officers and been carried out of the empire
and its present owner was in this city yes
terday. It now belongs to A. Alderman
of Sacramento, and although Emperor
Wilhelm has tried to regain it and the
German Consul at San Francisco has
standing orders to get possession of it if
possible, Alderman keeps his prize and
yesterday in some tests made at the Com
pany Il range in this city he, for the first
time, realized the full force of it's terrific
power.
The rife sped a bullet through half
inch steel plate at 200 yards, through seve-
raj inches of planking behind it and
buried the leaden pellet in the earth. 1t
left an opening through the steel plate as
clean as though it had been drilled.
The cartridges, as well as the gun, are
manufactured by the German Govern
ment, but in some way Alderman is able
to keep supplied with them. The car
tridges used are three and half inches in
length and are carried in small metallic
frames, five cartridges in a frame. This
frame fits into the magazine of the
gun and the five shots may thus be fired
III Idp4u succession, the apparatus py
which a shell is thrown out and another
placed in position working very quickly.
The trigger pulls with three pounds
weight. The Springfield rifle used by
United States troops pulls at nine pounds.
At the test yesterday quarter-inch
iron plate, three-eighths of an inch and
a hal-finch steel plate were placed in posi-
ton one at a time and each of them per-
forated by steel bullet, it cutting hole
half an inch in diameter and leaving nc
ragged edge. The half-inch steel-plate
test was surprise even to Alderman, who
did not think the gun capable of such

SANTA ROSA, CAL. Nov. 11.-Mrs.
Mary Goodman, well-known music
teacher Of Santa Rosa attempted so take
her life by an overdose of Iaudanum this

Before taking the poison Mrs. Goodman
went out to the City Cemetery, where she
was found by the keeper of the cemetery
stretched over the grave of her little child.

phoned for an officer. Officer Yoho and
DR.. Menerary soon arrived at the Gene
terry and applied medical restoratives. 1t

Pistol Fight.

Three Redwood Talley Men Engage in a
Pistol Fight.
UKIAH, CAL, Nov. n.-Charles Bran
mum, a blacksmith OF Capella, was shot in
the right leg near the hip by Gus Gray of
Redwood Valley last night. The wound is
not considered dangerous.
Brannum and Charles Bailey had had a
difficulty during the day about some stock.
Bailey went to church where Uranium
was and called him out. Uranium re-
fused the request and Bailey applied an
epithet to Uranium, which the latter re-
sented with blow on Bailey's head with a
lantern and followed it up by drawing a
pistol and firing two shots at Bailey and
Gray. Then he ran. Gray shot at Bran
mum as he retreated and the ball lodged in
his leg.
Uranium to-day procured a warrant for
the arrest of Gray and Bailey and tonight
they were brought to town by Constable
Harbert. They refuse to discuss the trou-
BILE, but claim they were justified in their
acts.

Killed Striker Stescart.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 1.-There
Is a strong probability that Captain B. K.
Roberts of Troop K, Fifth United States
Artillery, Non-Commissoned Officers and
Privates John Smith, Charles Morrison,
Charles Weiss, G. Hug, Gustave King, j..
Kropp, N Day and William Hjelmberg
and four other members Of the troop will
be called upon to answer to the charge of
murder in having killed man named
Charles Stewart in this city during the
railroad strike troubles of over year ago.
Alvin Udell, Los Angeles attorney, has
the matter in hand, and is at present in
this city attempting to obtain warrant
for the arrest of the participants III the
affair. Udell claims that the regulars who
were here possessed no authority, and that
in killing Stewart they took the law into
their own hands. His grounds for this
statement are that the men who did the
killing were in the employ OF tue United
States Government, and that the killing
grew out of their alleged duty in executing
the law of the United States, but to the
claim that they were performing their
duty it was sufficient answer that no man
in or out of office-not even the President
has the constitutional power TO use the
regular army or navy forces of the Nation
for the enforcement of the laws OF the
Nation. but that the constitution gives to
Congress alone the authority to call out
the militia to execute the laws OF the
country.
The attorney asserts that on the 18th OF
Septemb Der he addressed a communication
to District Attorney Ryan requesting that
be take such necessary action as would
cause the arrest of these troopers, but that
official has taken no notice OF his request

DEMENs, FATE IN THE BALANCE.
Closing argument in the Trial of the
alleged Young OuttaU Begun.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. IL
Closing arguments in the Demons case
was commenced this afternoon The de-
tense did not put the youthful prisoner
upon the stand, and only introduced wit
nesses to show that about the time of the
attempted robbery there was a man seen
in the neighborho God who answered the de-
fendant's escription and who said to sew
eral: ~ have been run over the country
enough by such people as you. I am dead
broke, and | am going to have money some
way"
The prosecution generally exploded this
theory by proving that this man bought a
ticket for San Bernardino two days before
the attempted robbery In the argument
so far the detective who made the arrest
has been severely scored, as has the prose-
cution's witness, Mr.. Bohns. The case
will probably go the jury tomorrow after
noon.
