The Indignant Reporter.

There is no man who is exempted from
the story-teller, the genius who draws a
group around him, generally before bar
or in hotel, and proceeds to relate all the
good things he has heard on his friends
and enemies alike, even reporters, who
are supposed to originate the anecdo tes
published about leading men and the
numerous things they have done.
One member of the craft recently told
this on another:
1t was when the reporter had juststarted
on his career. He was placed on a district
and told to get anything he could. On the
third day the reporter rushed in under
great excitement. Sitting down he dashed
off few lines concerning some unimpor-
tant local happening and started off in the
same rush.
The city editor stopped him and asked
the cause of such haste. The reporter re-
piled: There is a scoundrel down town
who almost killed his wife this morning.
Pm going down and help hang him."
And the indignant reporter darted off
on his mission of vengeance without hav-
ing written a line about the attempted
misunderstanding Post.

TWO SANTA ROSA WEDDINGS.
Miss Hattie 7aimage Married to G. L. Ayres
and Miss Alice Marshall to
John Farmer.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Dec. Is. = Miss
Hattie Talmadge and G. L. Ayres were
married to-day at high noon at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, at the corner
of Beaver and Cherry streets. Rev. T. A.
Atkinson of the M. E. Church South per-
formed the ceremony. The handsome
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Talmadge was
splendidly decorated in honor of the event.
A large number of invitations were issued,
and the house was thronged with guests.
An elegant repast was served after the
ceremony. Mr.. and Mrs. Ayres left on the
south bound train this afternoon for a
wedding trip 10 San Francisco and San
Jose. They will make their temporary
home at Forestville, this county.
Miss Alice Marshall and John Farmer
were married in Santa Rosa Tuesday at
the home of the brides mother, Mrs. Mary
Marshall, on Slater street by the Rev. E.
P. bennett. The wedding was a private
one, only intimate friends and relatives
being present. The bride is prominent in
social circles and the groom is in the en-
ploy of the railway mail service on the
Southern Pacific. They are spending their
honeymoon in San Francisco.

Growing Belief That Another
Woman Is Determined to
Take Her Life.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
For the Fourth Time the Girls
Pursuer Fails in the Attempt
to Murder Her.

HARRISBURG, Or, Dec. $50 far no
progress has been made by the detective
brought here from Portland to identify
and arrest the miscreant having made
several attempts to assassinate Miss Ethel
Riddle. She is a modest, respectable girl,
and nothing but jealousy can be ascribed
as the cause of the attacks made upon her.
While Miss Riddle was in the yard Of
her urcle's house for few minutes Nom
day evening, a pistol ball in very danger-
Gus proximity whizzed by her ear. Be-
wilderment robbed her of the power to
shrek for help, but she saw figure rise
from the ground not twenty feet from her
and dash away. 1t was enveloped in such
a manner as to make its identity i'm.
possible. The girls life has thus been in
jeopardy number of times in the past
four months. 1t is feared the cowardly
assassin may accomplish his or her pug
pose and pure, innocent life be sacrificed.
1t is known that Miss Riddle has been
keeping company with a well-known
gentleman here, but their relations are
only those of friends; yet the indications
point to a woman infatuated with this
man as being the person menacing Miss
Riddles life and rendering her existence
burden. 1t is not proposed to effect the
arrest of any one until sufficient proof is
at hand to secure conviction.
One evening Miss Riddle was going
home from her uncle's store, ana had gone
as far as the City Hall, when some one
sprang at her and she beat him off with
an umbrella.
The next attempt was made the last Of
October, two shots being fired at her as
she descended the steps to the basement
of her home. The would-be assassin was
concealed under the steps, but she was
evidently closer to the building than was
thought, for both shots missed her. Her
face was powder burned. She saw figure
disappear in the darkness; but could not
tell whether it was man or woman.
The third attempt occurred on the even
ing of November 20. Miss Riddle opened
the kitchen door to bring in her easel (she
is an accomplished ARTIST and was push
ing the screen door back when club was
thrown at her from the south side of the
building, striking the easel and knocking
it against the screen, which came against
her with considerable violence. She
plainly saw her assailant, who was masked
and wore dark storm coat.

William Sharratt's Promptness
Gets Him Into Trouble
With the Police.
THREE BARNS SET ON FIRE.
In Two There Was an Aggregate
Loss of $I3oo-Five Horses
Burned to Death.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 25.-William shar-
raft, 20 years of age, is i'll the City Prison,
held OH charge of arson. There were three
fires between II and 2 80 o clock this morn
ing, and Sharratt is supposed to have
started all three. He was the first person
at two of the fires. Sharratt has told sew
eral stories in accounting for his where
abouts during the night, but they are frail
and the police say they will have no
trouble in tearing them to pieces.
The first fire was in stable belonging to
W. w. Wright, at the northeast corner OF
Third and San Carlos streets. While an
alarm was being turned in Sharratt ap-
peared on the scene and succeeded in put
ting out the fire before any loss was in
Cured.
The second alarm was at l o'clock for a
fire in barn belonging to Manuel Perry
on San Salvador street, between Seventh
and Eighth. The barn, four horses and a
colt were burned. The loss will reach $500.
Sharratt, who was at this fire also, at
tracted the attention of Officer Pfau. The
third alarm was for the burning of the
barn of J. NJ. Gray at 456 South Tenth
street at 2:15 o'clock this morning. The
barn was destroyed. Loss about $500;
fully insured.
Sharratt, who had been conspicuous at
the two previous fires, was the first on the
scene at this one, and Officer Pau placed
him under arrest. There have been great
many fires of incendiary origin of late and
the police hope to connect Sharratt with
several OF them. Sharratt has figured in
the Police Court under accusation of being
a chicken-thIef and all-rouno tough, and
his reputation is generally bad.

ARRESTED At SAN DIEGO
George Hoffman, Wanted in Okla
homa, Captured by Officer
Ellsworth.
He Will Be Returned to the Territory
to Serve a Four Years
Sentence.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 25.-Officer
Ellsworth made an important arrest to-
night in the capture of George Hoffman.
who is wanted in Oklahoma to serve out a
four years sentence in the penitentiary
for robbery and assault. Hoffman was
formerly private in the Tenth Infantry
stationed at Fort Sill, and deserted. He
was captured and court-martlaled, and
dishonorably discharged.
Later he attacked a lieutenant at the
post, knocked him down and robbed him.
The military authorities again took him in
charge, and he received a sentence of four
years in the penitentiary. On the way to
prison he outwitted his guard and knocked
one of them down and escaped.
How Hoffman made his way to San
Diego is not known, but it was suspected
that he would eventually turn up here, as
his company was formerly stationed at
San Diego barracks. Letters were sent
here to the police describing Hoffman,
and Officer Ellsworth had been on the
lookout for the man for some weeks.
The other day Ellsworth saw Hoffman
in the Palace Restaurant, on Fifth street.
where the fellow was washing dishes. He
gave lHo haLne VI Wal I'LL, UuI aHS"eieu
the description of Hoffman. Last night
the arrest was made and it was then found
that he bore upon his arm three marks
described in the circular concerning Hoff-
man.
Officer Ellsworth turned his man over to
the officers at the barracks, and Hoffman
will no doubt be returned TO Oklahoma
under military guard. He practically ad-
mitted that he was the man wanted, in a
conversation with his captor, and added
that he only wanted permission to die.
He bought a big dose of morphine, but
Ellsworth took it from him. Hoffman was
slightly intoxicated when first arrested,
and by the time he reached the barracks
he was so drunk he could not talk so his
version of the story could not be learned.

abllng the growers to meet the early mar
kets, which are the most profitable. The
orange grown in this valley is thin-skinned,
of close texture, juicy and fine favored.
The extreme heat and light of the
months of July, August and September
develops the highest qualities of sugar,
favor and beauty in1he fruit of this val
ley, and the unlimited water supply for
irrigation purposes makes possible the as
surance of crops in all portions of the val
ley.
While the water supply is tapped by
many miles of canals, yet there are vast
volumes going to waste that await the
demand of the farmer, fruit-grower ana
home-seeker. Fresno County alone has
800 miles OF main canals and 5000 miles of
lateral bitches.
The claim that irrigated fruits were
lacking in sweetness and flavor and that
they would not stand shipment mas been
most thoroughly disproved in the San
Joaquin Valley as elsewhere in California.
And yet the fruit-growers of this valley
are still in the experimental stages of the
industry, but as they have supplied the
Nation with raisins so will they soon be
rivals of the famous Santa Clara growers
of prunes, which fruit they are adding to
the long list of the products of this section
OF the State.
Fresno will hold her first citrus, fair,
commencing on January 3, when fruits
from the various points here named will
be presented and their reputation for ex-
cellence will be sustained. Facts and
statistics and the fruits themselves will be
in evidence of the claims that have been
here set forth of the wealth of soil, advan-
tages of climate and opportunities for
irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley.

NEW CONDITIONS OF WAR.
A Magazine Gun That Is Practically
Irresistible.

Irresistible.
The arrival in this country of a Maxim
gun of the latest model is evidently not
considered an item of great importance,
and yet it is possible that the modern
rapid-fre gun may be a potent element in
determining the history of future war,
and in determining it in direction most
acceptable to the sensible, peace-loving
citizens OF this Republic.
This gum weighing only 127 pounds, and
consequently easily portable, and with
every part as efficient as an ordinary
breech- loader, with perfectly adjustable
sights and calculable range, has capacity
for placing 600 bullets a minute wherever
they will do the most harm. Inasmuch as
a line of infantry charging at the double
quick wolld not be able to cross the range
of the gun in less than eight or ten min
utes, it does not seem unreasonable to
claim than the gun cannot be taken. The
Pickett charge at Gettysburg thirty odd
years ago would not be circumstance
compared with the slaughter that would
await charge on battery of these new
guns.
A partial trial of the magazine gun has
beer made by the English in the Chitral
expedition and by the French in the NADIA
gascar campaign. In both cases the re-
suit was decided quickly and with COM
paratively little bloodshed. The magazine
gun was practically irresistible. A very
brief test sufficed to demonstrate this.
1t has been often urged that any in
crease in the efficiency of the weapons of
war meant a decrease i'll the horrors of
war. In the new magazine guns we have
reached perfection of efficiency which in
dicates that war may be rendered impos-
sible. Such consummation would be an
inestimable gain to humanity. The mere
prospect is enough to make all the friends
of peace wish success to the deadliest
machines of war.

wild man in the vicinity of Saratoga for

his sanity. George, who is middle-aged
laborer, has been living under bridge

fruit and vegetables. The last few days he
