HIS RECOVERY DOUBTFUL
The Victim Terribly Mutilated
by Blows With a Brush
Hook.
10th CULPRITs IN PRISON.
After Leaving Their Man for Dead,
They Filled UP on Wine and
Then Fled.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 2S.-Peter Al
berigi an Italian charcoal burner on
Lewellyn Halls ranch in Alexander Valley,
was savagely attacked and terribly multi
ated with brushhook by two Indians
Tuesday night. The latter have been ar
rested and are in jail here awaiting trial,
which will commence next Tuesday.
Alberigi was lying in bed at his cabin
when the Indians raped at the door.
Upon his refusal to admit them they
broke in the door with a mattock. The
unfortunate man took hold of a brush
hook with which to defend himself, but
the Indians took it from him and COM
menced to beat him upon the head back
and shoulders. Twenty four times they
did this before desisting, believing that
their victim was done for.
In the rear OF the hut the murderous
villains found a couple of barrels of wine,
and after imbibing freely they mounted
their horses and fled to their camp on the
Alexander Valley bridge, across Russian
River, dropping the knife on the way.
After the Indians left Alberigi managed
to crawl to the burning pit where another
Italian was at work. The poor fellow was
covered from head to foot with blood and
was extremely weak from loss OF blood. A
doctor was summoned, and an examina-
ton revealed the injuries to be very
dangerous. His head and shoulders were
horribly gashed. His left ear was severed
from the head, the index finger of the
right hand almost cut off, and on his right
arm the flesh was ripped in a terrible man
ner. He is not expected to recover.
The culprits say that they went to him
to get some wine, and that the Italian first
attempted to carve them up with a knife
One of the Indians, Yrico, attacked al
berigi a year ago, but with less violence
than on this occasion, because he refused
to give him some chewing tobacco.

WoMEN SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
Santa Rosa Is likely to Hare T,ro on
Its Board.


SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 27.-On
Saturday the election of two Trustees for
the Courthouse School District takes place,
and for the past week or so there has been
considerable talk OF there being two ladies
coming forward as candidates. A CALL
representative called on these ladies and
ascertained that both are willing to accept
the Office. Neither of them had thought
of anything OF the kind until urged by
many of the school patrons who felt sure
that the educational interests of the city
would be promoted by their acceptance OF
the trust.
One of the candidates, Mrs. Geary, said:
"Aithough a novel proposition to the
people of Santa Rosa, the selection of
woman to the position of School Trustee is
by no mears new in older communities,
and to me it appears eminently fitting that
the mothers of children should have
voice in carrying forward the instruction
begun by them in the nursery. The present
board" Mrs. Geary continued, SIS COM
posed of five men, and the election OF
women to succeed tie two retiring mem
bers, while still giving the men the ma
iority, would give the mothers a repre-
sentation which they ought to have
Mrs. Geary was one OF the first gradu-
ates of Santa Rosa's High School, has had
five years experience as teacher and is
the mother of five public school pupils.
and if elected it will be her earnest effort
to advance the interest OF the schools
Mrs. Eva J. French, the other candidate,
said that she had in no way sought the
office. She considered it an office of pub
lie trust, and if elected will act true to this
principle. Mrs. French was a teacher for
a number of years and is deeply interested
in the progress and efficiency of public
schools. She believes that the schools ex-
list for the benefit of the pupils and of the
should not be dulled by the interference of
personal ambitions or political methods in
their management.
Everybody awaits with great interest the
result of next Saturdays polling.

Trustee Eden.

FRESNO, CAL, June 27.-School Trus-
tee W. w. Eden was assaulted with the
butt end of a revolver by ex-Supervisor R.
B. Butler on the street this morning. The
trouble grew out of the Terry block pur-
chase by the Board of Education last

Eden was one of the committee to meet
and fix details. Butler was agent for the
sale of the Terry block, and the house
standing on the lot was to be his commits
sion.
Eden told Butler he would hold him to
the strict letter of the contract. Butler in
terpreted this as an effort to rob him of his
commission, and words ensued. While
Buffers father-in-law held Edens arm
Butler struck Eden over the head with the
butt end of a revolver, inhicting severe
scalp wounds. Butler was arrested.

trim little vessel mentioned below, which
visited this port about two years ago,
then being named the Eta A, Watts,
and also her jolly skipper Capt Jack
v ilber, who is we'll known in this city
as jolly good fellow and one of the best
coast pilots and navigators that ever
sailed along the Florida coast.
The two masted American schooner,
Oracle, T., has finished fitting out at
East river pier for an unique cruise in
South waters, She will be, practically,
floating cannery. She will sail today
for Port Royal, Jamaica, and thereafter,
until the fall, she may be seen in West
Indian, Floridian and Gulf ports. Until
a few weeks ago she was owned by
James Tregarthen & Son.
Benjamin Wood of 81 Pine street,
with several speculative friends, bought
her and had her prepared for the COM
mercal expedition which it's promoters
hope, will yield big percentage of
profits. The schooner was formerly the
Eta A. Watts, and flew the British
ensign hAiling from Lunnenburg, Nova
Scotia. She was wrecked and, after
receiving extensive repairs, in an Amer
lean port, was bought by an American
and got an American register.
She had excited much interest among
the shellbacks of South street for the past
week. They were surprised to see an
eight horsepower boiler taken aboard,
and wondered what little 1OO-ton
schooner wanted with boiler. Then
three 25 gallon copper cauldrons were
shipped. Machinists set up the boiler
just forward of amdships and con-
nected it by pipes with a circular cast
iron "process KETTLE" more than half
of which protruded through the deck.
Trucks drove up and unloaded hundreds
o. boxes filled with tin cans. The shell
backs couldn't stand it any longer
They sailed right in and asked questions
At first they thought the schooner might
be fitting out for service Cuba, as there
were a few rifles and saot-guns in the
queer collection of Things put aboard.
They finally found out what Mr. Wood
told reporter.
The Oracle T.. carries six Gamers
and chef, besides her skipper, Captain
WILDER, and a crew of several men.
She has aboard 100000 empty cans,
which will, it is expected, be filed with
turtle, pompano, guava jelly and fish and
game and fruit of m any kinds before she
returns to his port in the fall. The
turtles will be caught in the West Indies
and off the Florida coast. Some may
be acquired by exchanging for them
cheap manufactured articles, which
form part of the schooner's cargo.
