That ne'er depend on time or creeds,

WOODLAND, CAL, Jan. 30.-The papers
in the case of Karl S. Whitfield vs. ex-
Sheriff D. H. Wyckoff of Yolo County,
transferred from Calaveras County, were
filed IN the Superior Court of Yolo County
yesterday. Suit is brought to recover DAM
ages for $4,000.
The defendant alleges false imprison-
ment. He was arrested in Calaveras Coun-
ty by ex-Sheriff Wyckoff on suspicion OF
being one of the counterfeiters who muir
dered Louis Todhunter of Washington on
the Sacramento River in April, 1898.
Wakefield was in custody but few days
when he was released upon the arrival OF
young Moody of Oakland, who was with
the murderer. and who was afterward cap
tured and turned States evidence.
WakehelG's arrest was due to a confes-
sion by his mother-in-law, made to the
Chief of Police of Oakland, charging him
with con- plicity in the crime. The arrest
was made in Calaveras County by Sheriff
Ben Thorn, who wired the Yolo County
official to come and get the suspect. At
the time of the arrest il was not the opinion
of Wyckon that Wakefield was the man
wanted. During his incarceration here
he was treated with due consideration, and
upon his release was furnished with trans
portation to San Andreas.
Several years ago the plaintiff was ar

the murder of an old man in Alameda
County, but the evidence adduced would
not justify conviction.

THE ESCAPE OF THE ENGINEER.
Workmen Made a Dash for Safety and
Some Succeeded in Saving
Their Lives. 81

HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa, Jan. 30.-The
most disastrous accident that has hap.
pened in this section for years occurred
here this morning, when a boiler exploded
in the large roiling-mills of the Holidays,
burg Iron and Nail Company. Three per
sons were killed, four may die and twenty
others are more or less injured.
The dead are: George Lane, aged IS
years, married, bricklayer, found crushed
to death under the debris; Morrill, Treez,
aged Is years, top of skull torn off and
died in about half an hour; Cornelius
Evans, aged 16 years, skull crushed and
ribs broken, died shortly after he was
found.
The most seriously injured are: Samuel
Kephart, aged SO, married, skull fractured
and injured internally, will die; Frank
Kramer, aged Sc, married, superintendent
of mill, skull fractured and four ribs
broken, may not recover; Samuel MarksA
aged so. skull fractured, jawbone broken
and badly burned, in a critical condition
Robert Marks, aged 25, puddler, cut about
head and wrists and leg broken; Finley
Ferguson, aged 80, married, puddler, cut,
burned and scalded, in dangerous condi-
ton; John Woomer, aged 45, married,
puddler, skull fractured and internally in
iured, not expected to recover; Robert
Murray. aged 40, unmarried, puddler, skull
fractured and in critical condition. The
others were not seriously hurt.
When the accident occurred this morn
ing at 7 rs o'clock about 100 men were at
work at the mills. A 30-feet cylinder
boiler exploded, spreading death and ruin
in Its course. The report of the explosion
was heard all over the town. The men
made a wild dash for safety, and the ma
jority escaped with but slight injuries.
The cause of the explosion is mystery.
Engineer Kramer was standing by his
engine at the time of the accident. He
says the boiler had 100 pounds of steam
on. He was not hurt. The boiler had
been repaired and tested about sixty days
ago.
1t is thought there was no water in the
boiler. The boiler was placed over pudd-
ling furnaces and heated from their fires.
When it exploded it went through the roof,
tearing out the entire end OF the mill and
was then hurled about 200 feet.
1t crushed through the mill roof, throw
ing the beams and iron in all directions.
completely wrecking that part of the
plant. AS the steam escaped from the ex-
plosion the furnaces were demolished and
stacks were thrown down. A number of
puddlers were buried in the ruins. The
end of the boiler was found 500 yards from
the mill.
Just before the explosion a tramp was
seen cooking piece of meat in front of
one of the furnaces, and it is supposed he
was killed and buried under the ruins, as
he has not been seen since the accident.
The loss to the company is about 5000.

wounded Patsy Connolly in Vallejo last
December. He was found guilty of an as

OF Savings against D. Bargetto and E. +.
$3.50 90 deposited with the court, was par
TALLY heard before Judge Lorigan to-day
Last April Bargetto was arrested at Red
wood City on criminal charge and en-
ployed Attorney Fitzgerald to defend him.
In order to guarantee Fitzgerald his attor-
ney fee Bargetto gave him his bank pass
book and an order for the $3.50 go.
Bargetto was subsequently released and
sued out an Injunction against the bank to
restrain the payment of the money to Fitz-
patrick. Bargetto says that he believes
his arrest was made without complaint or
warrant and none was ever made against
him thereafter. While imprisoned Bar
getto says the attorney told him his
offense was serious one and might cause
him to go to prison for fourteen years, but
that he (Fitzpatrick) could secure his re-
lease for $500 and upon the further con-
dition that Bargetto leave the State in
twenty-four hours.
Believing this and being terrified Bar
getto paid $50 and assigned the bank &C.
count. some Tune a1ter, through the IN
strumentality of others and not FitZ-
patrick, and on account of the refusal of
the District Attorney to prosecute, Bar
getto was released, having been detained
ten days in prison. Bargetto says that the
attorney performed no service except to
terrlfy him into assigning his bank ac-
count to him and is not entitled to the
money.

and which proved her infdelity.
He also said that he would prove that
upon that afternoon Mrs. Hart had shown
him other letters in which his wife stated
to her lover Hart) that since she had met
him her husband had grown repulsive to
her.
Armed with this terrible knowledge he
had gone home that night, and after sup
per he had said to his wife with beads of
agony standing out upon his forehead:
My God, Emma, you have deceived
me. have seen those letters which YOU
wrote to Hart, in which you said that YOU
love him. Ny God, you say that since
you met Hart have grown repulsive to
you, Emma"
"This is what we will show" continued
defendants counsel, land we will show
that when this man with his whole soul
rent with the agony of the moment said
these things to his wife she laughed
at him.
"We will then show that this man, who
had been so terribly wronged by this
women that he loved, seized his revolver
and thatall became a blank to him. He
does not know what happened then. His
brain reeled, and he was at once in a
trance
During the address the courtroom was
so still that had it not been for the voice
of the speaker the dropping of pin could
have been heard. The sensation which
had been expected had been sprung.
In relating his sad history Christ said !:
when told Emma of the letters l had
read and accused her of not loving me any
more my wife laughed and said, sheer
ingly: We'll, what if [ don't2 What are
you going to do about it?'

upon the stand to prove the universal
good character of the accused, many of
whom were among the leading men of this

ALBANY, Or, Jan. 30.-The prepar-
atoms for the execution OF Lloyd Mont
gomery are completed. The scaffold was
erected to-day and an Enclosure sixteen
feet high has been built around il. The
execution will take place tomorrow fore
noon, exact hour of which will not be
known until midnight. The murderer's
little sister, Eva, and younger brother,
Orville, visited him in his cell to-day. His
sister Joined the church last Sunday, and
the condemned man exacted a promise
from his brother that he would also join
the church. He admonished him to profit
by his example and be good man. He
wept bitterly at parting with them.
The prisoner has become much inter
ested in the Salvation Army. Members of
the army have visited him several times,
and Montgomery says he likes their re-
ligion. When seen in his cell last night
he said he had made up his mind that he
must die, and he is ready for it. He
added:

would as soon be hanged tonight as on

He still adheres to the impossible story
that he killed McKercher after the latter
had killed his father and mother, and said
he would tell the people on the gallows
that he is innocent.
While the noise of the workmen build
ing the seaffold could be plainly heard in
the Jail Montgomery sat complacently
playing his fiddle. He remarked, "'The
Devil Among the Tailors' is good tune to
keep mans courage up in an emergency
like this. Those who think I will break
down at the last will get fooled"
When talking to reporter he smoked a
cigar that had been handed to him with
evident relish. 1t is believed, though, that
on his short march to the gallows to-mor-
row he will break down. His Indifference

shock and fright nearly caused Mrs.
Langevin's death, she being an invalid.
If the culprits can be detected they will be
prosecuted to the full extern. of the law.
These prosecutions of Langevin have con-
money paid him in the Heney trial. The
evident purpose is to force him to leave
the city; but he says he knows who threw
the rocks. and will bring the matter before
the Grand Jury.
Nothing has yet been done in the Coffin
contempt case, and it is surmised that the
matter until after the Jones trial, as such
a course would cause the disbarment of
Jones attorney if he were convicted, and
deprive Jones of his services. 1t will
therefore come up before the Grand Jury
after the Jones trial.

Committee will soon issue call for

however, will depend upon the decision of
the Supreme Court in reference to the
primary election law passed by the last
Legislature, the validity of which is being
inquired into by that tribunal. If the
court should decide in favor of the new
law it will be necessary to call the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee together
about February %, to prepare for the
primaries in March. Ii this decision is
not reached by the Supreme Court it will
not be necessary to bring the members to-

Governor Budd does not seem to be in

nowadays, and the GOODNESS between the
two is marked. Mr.. Gould SAYS the ru-

with high hand at Agnews were started
by Budd' s friends.
