The cost OF owning yacht is less this

learned that Defender cost $4,000 and
that Valkyrle came not far from $4,000,
and when IL was noted how small were
these boats and how untitled for ordinary
pleasure parties. the spirits OF ordinarily
circumstanced sportsmen sank AT the

that all sportsmen are not necessarily
yacht owners. Many of the finest, most
thorough sportsmen In the country do
not possess a set OF white sails OF their

Oliver Mccall Dead.

On last Tuesday evening Oliver Nc.
Call, one Of the oldest settlers in Web.
ster county. departed this life. In 1871
he came to Webster county from the
east, and took up his home in, what WAS
then, a wild frontier country. lie took
DIP his home near where he has lived for
so many years, having homestcaded a
quarter adjoining his fine farm, tour
miles west OF the city on the south side
Of the river. lie was an industrious
farmer and succeeded in securing enough
OF the worlds goods to make him and
his family comfortable during life. He
WAS u pleasant gentleman and was
thoroughly alive To the times. He was
born at Parker's Landing, Penn, in 1885
aad was consequently I'll years Of age at
the time Of death. When the war broke
out he was one OF the first TO respond to
Uncle Sans call and enlisted in the
l03d Pennsylvania Volunteers. and gave
four years OF his life to the service OF
his country. During his career he was
promoted to sargent and then to n lieu
tenancy, which positions he filed with
honor TO his country. He was captured
during n OF the many battles which
he was in and served nine months in
Libby prison. During the time that he
was there the treatment OF prisoners
was OF such a fearful nature that he
made an attempt to escape and did 30,
but was finally recaptured by blood
hounds and taken back where he was
finally paroled but his confinement in
that living hell caused him great bodily
suffering; from the effects OF which he
never fully recovered. His death was
caused from heart disease and he had
been seriously suffering for many month";
past. A few minutes before dissolution
he arose in his bed, helped himself to
glass Of water. then quietly laid bach
his head and passed into that grea'
sleep that knows no waking. He wal
married twice. to his present wife nearl!
thirty years ago. He was the father o
ten children, some of whom have pro
coded him to the other world. He wal
a kind and affection'te husband anC
father and his loss will be severely fell
by those who knew him best. He leaves
q wife, several children and two brothers
Alfred and Sylvester Mccall, to mourn
his death. The CHIEF with his very

FOLSOM, CAL, Sept. 4.-Georgs Wash
ington Roberts was hanged here to-day
for the murder of Walter Freeman in La
trobe on April IA last. There was nothing
sensational about the execution. Roberts
walked from the cell to the trap with q
firm step. The cap, pinions and rope
were adjusted and the trap sprung within
space of ten seconds time. The body
hardly moved a muscle after reaching the
end of the rope, and, the pulse stopped
beating in twelve minutes.
Among the witnesses were: Sheriff
Hilbert of FL Dorado County, Sheriff Con
roy of Placer County, Drs. Dixon and
Browning of Sacramento and several
friends and relatives of the murdered M an
Three ladies, presumably members of the
Freeman family, applied for permission to
witness the execution. but were refused
admittanoe by Warden Aull.
The murderer passed last night quietly,
sleeping soundly at intervals. A light
breakfast was served in his cell this
morning, of which he ate heartily. He
exhibited considerable brayado, laughing
and chatting with his guards until the
time set for the execution began to draw
near, when he became serious and silently
awaited his fate. Just before he left the
cell for the gallows the sacrament of the
franciscan church was administered to
him by Father Plus of Sacramento.
The crime for which the murderer
suffered was peculiarly atrocious one, as
he and his victims were friends. It ap-
pears that a short time before the murder

haae a wrestling match. Freeman con-
scented.

While they were drinking in the place,

went away. Later he met Freeman and
engaged him in a pleasant talk. He
smiled as he took large jackknife from his
pocket and opened it very slowly, so as
not to excite the suspicious of Freeman.
Suddenly without word of warming he

Roberts pleaded self-defense at his trial.
but all the evidence tended to show that
the crime was cold-blooded murder

had been one of the jolliest prisoners there.
He said his only regret was that his lawyer
did not appeal the case. Last night he

PARKER CONTEST AT SAN JOSE
The Taking of Testimony Begun in the
Second TriGiADelmas Wins
q Point

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 4.-The taking
OF testimony IN the second trial of the
Parker will contest was begun this morn
ing. By agreement the testimony of Ellen
w. Law, given at the first trial of the
cause, was allowed to be read, it being
stated that it was impossible for the wit
ness to be present in court at this time on
account of the illness of her husband.
Just before the noon recess a point was
reached in the testimony being read by
Attorney Nicholas Bowden to which Mr..
Delmas objected. The particular ques-
ton and answer is one relating to George
II. Parker's close friendship and love for
his sister, Jane Pomeroy, and the influ.
ehce 1t is alleged she had over him and
her bitterness toward Emma Parker, the
contestant.
In point of time the question relates
back to 1873, some ten or fifteen years
before the will was made, Mr.. Delmas
urged that the time was so remote that the
question and answer should be stricken
out.
After an extended argument the point
made by Mr.. Delmas was ruled by the
court to be well taken, and the question
and answer that were objected TO in the
testimony were ruled out.
At the conclusion of the proceedings this
afternoon the further hearing of the case
was continued until next Tuesday morn
ing.
