Stranger Visits the Marshal and
Threatens Him With Violence.
United States Marshal Barry Baldwin
listened to a man call him ell sorts OF
unpleasant names yesterday morning,
and he neither resented it nor had the
fellow put out of the Office. The reason of
Barrv's quiet submission was that he had
loaned his gun to friend, and he also en-
tertained the feeling that the fellow doing
the talking had a bomb up his sleeve.
Shortly after the Marshal's Office opened
a big fellow with rusty knuckles and a
soiled shirt walked in and demanded to
see Mr.. Baldwin.
He gave the CLASSY eye to Mr.. Ferris
when that gentleman offered him the glad
hand.
Its Baldwin l want" he shouted.
"Where is Baldwin,
Barry was within arms reach, but Fer
ris, not knowing Just how his superior was
fixed, replied that the Marshal was out
in fact, he would not be in for a couple OF
days.
Then the stranger turned himself loose.
He said all manner OF unpleasant things
about acramento-soldiers and strikers
and other matters before the public two
years ago. He threatened the Marshal
with all sorts of vengeance, and then tell
ing Mr.. Ferris that he would call again
down the long corridor.
We'll, I'm - said Marshal Baldwin.
as he drew a long breath, the first since
the fellow entered the room.
The man is not known around the Fed
eraI building. He is supposed to be a
crank with grievance resulting from the
railroad strike of 1894.

REPUBLICAN COUNCILS.
The County Committees Brief Monthly
Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the Re-
publican County Committee in Shiels
building last evening was brief one, only
a little routine business being transacted.
Chairman c. W. Manwaring, Secretary
Jackson, and twelve other county com
mltteemen were present.
The only business of importance was
the announcement by Chairman Manwar-
ing of several appointments to standing
committees to fill vacancies caused by
resignations or otherwise. For the vacan-
cies on the executive committee caused by
the late designations of Messrs. Prender-
CAST and Watson and the death of J. E.
Donovan, Grove P. Ayers, John Brown
ing and Charles q. Clear were named.
The committee on club organization was
filled by the appointment of P. J. Walsh
and G. Bacigalupi in the places of Messrs.
Prendergast and Watson, resigned. The
other member of the committee is John
Jackson. Grove P. Ayers took the place
on the finance committee formerly filled
by G. c. Morris.
The present is rather period of rest
with the party organization. but it will
not be long before activity will be revived
in anticipation of the municipal cam paign.

HALF-RATE TICKETS.
Visitors to Conventions Will Get Them
Under Certain Conditions.

Visitors to Conventions Will Get Them
Under Certain Conditions.
The Transcontinental Traffic Association
met again yesterday in the Palace Hotel
and heard report from the committee
appointed Wednesday on half-fares for
conventions.
II was recommended by the committee
that practically half way fare be adopted,
but 1t should be governed by certain con-
ditlons, which the association should
determine.
The day was spent in endeayoring to
solve this difficult problem, after it had be-
come apparent 10 the association that re-
strictive measures should be adopted to
prevent the misuse of convention tickets.
The main bugaboo before the associa-
ton was the scalper, who would reap a
harvest upon these half-price tickets. To
make such thing almost impossible a
plan was nearly completed by which
agents at points of destination would
issue certificates to identified holders of
half-tickets. With cards OF Identification
the travellers would be permitted to return
on their reduced rates. Under this pro-
vision, too, scalpers would have hard
task to deceive ticket agents and con-
ductors.
The matter will be further discussed to-
day.

CONTRACTORS At OUTS,
Will Schmidt and John Stutt of
Berkeley Indulge in a
BraWl.
Schmidt Is Arrested on a Charge of
Threatening to Attempt to Com.
nit Murder.

BERKELEY, CAL, May 4.-Hostilities
were renewed yesterday between Will
Schmidt and John Stutt, two street con-
tractors, and before they got through it is
said that giant-powder cartridges were
about to be used as weapons. Last week
they INDUCED in an embroglio over the
right to use certain piece of land on
Wheeler street for carting purposes.
Schmidt swo-e out complaint for the ar
rest of Stutt and the latter to retaliate
had Schmidt arrested. This morning
Schmidt was brought into custody on a
| charge OF threatening to attempt to COM
nit murder because of the alleged intro
duction OF the giant powder cartridges
upon the scene of hostilities.
He is accused of having placed the pow
der under heavy pile of stones and touch
ing off the fuse with the purpose of
causing the destruction of S.utt and his
gang OF men,
Each contractor tells a different story.
The case of Schmidt came up before Judge
Lord this morning. He was present, with
Attorney Nusbaumer as counselor and
Stutt was represented by District Attor-
ney Shook. After the reading of the COM
plant. which charged Schmidt with at
tempt to commit murder, Judge Lord
Attorney TO determine if it is according to
law to issue a warrant under such cir
cumstances.
This afternoon Schmidt swore out a
warrant for the arrest of A. H. Broad, an
employe of Stutt. on the charge of mali
cious mischief, consisting Of tearing up a
portion of sidewalk, which act Schmidt
claimed was detrimental to his interests.
"Preps" Run the Gantlet.
BERKELEY, CAL. May 1.-THE few
remaining university students in Berke-
ley INDUCED in mild sort of hazing to-
day, taking for their subjects the embryo
freshmen who had come from various sec
tions of the country to take their entrance
''exes." All manner OF sport was made of
the young High School lads, and the
irick-loving collegians did not stop ar any
thing save bodily injury to make it inter
esting for the .'greenies," as they were
called. All day long they were haggled
and menaced, especially by the mem bers
OF the sophomore class to be.
The first thing this morning a crowd of
the "preps' were met at the west entrance
to the grounds and pledged not to cheat
in the ''exes" they were then taken to
the gymnasium and had a fake registra
ton worked off on them. Several of the
innocent young students were invited to
the various 'lrat" houses for lunch by
mel who had no authority to DO so, and
in consequence, when they showed up for
the MONDAY meal they were given the cold
shoulder.
AS further means of "jolIying up the
freshies," the sophs made them to run the
gantlet of dozen or more men. who
slapped them bare-handed on their heads
and made them to stand on tables and re-
late their histories. This last ordeal was

Frank Heckdrt Shot at T,cfce While Rid
ing Home 1T Night.
CHICO, CAL, May 14.-Last evening
Frank B. Heckart rode over from his home
in Clear Creek to Pentz. He was return
ing about 10 O'Clock in the evening when
his horse suddenly sprang to one side and
bullet whizzed close to his head. The
horse sprang forward and the rider leaned
over as low as possible, but a second bullet
was fired which seemed to almost touch
his back. The would-be assassins were
two in number and were standing close to
the road. The fash of a pistol enabled
Heckart to see a man holding pistol in
both hands and another man standing
alongside of him, but their hats were pulled
down so low over their faces that he was
not able to recognize them.
