WITHDREW TIE DELEGAES
A Big Break in the Ranks of
the Building Trades
Council.
Two Large Carpenters Unions De.
cided to Attend to Their
Own Business.

The Building Trades Council sustained
heavy loss last evening by the with
drawal of the delegates from Carpenters
and Joiners' unions Nos. % and 4S3.
Upon assemb bling C. w. Page and Harry
Saunder of Union No. % announced that
they had been Withdrawn from the coun-
Gil, as well as r. III. McVlcker, who was
not present.
George McCloud, John Graham and A.
o. Arthur of No. 483 made the same state
ment, and the five left the room. Arthur
was the secretary of the council, and j..
w. Rose of the Paper-hangers' Union was
selected to fill the vacancy.
The delegates who Withdrew represent
about 100 carpenters, and from all ac-
counts the delegates from No. 304, the
amalgamated and the Italian unions will
also be recalled. There were several
reasons for this action on the part of the
carpenters. Under the bylaws every
union. great or small, is allowed three
delegates, vet the unions were assessed by
the council for running expenses at so
much per capita.
Thus the large unions. like % and 4s3,
stood the bulk of the expenses and had no
more voice in the proceedings that the lit
upon % was for $l20 and upon 4S3 for SAT.
Another cause was on account of the
Lathers' Union, which the carpenters
stated caused nearly all of the recent
strikes. AS fact the carpenters gave the
council to understand that if tie lathers
were not requested to leave the council the
carpenters would withdraw.
The council did not have any excuse for
taking such course, the latners having
lived up to all obligations and refused to
comply with the demand. And last night,
but not least, the shIngler question. re-
peatedly explained in The CALL, was an
other excuse for the carpenters desiring to
GO by themselves.
G. w, Page has already been appointed
walking delegate for the carpenters, and
on Monday morning the district council
will Issue new working cards to its MEM
bers.
The reason for believing that the other
three carpenters unions will recall their
delegates from the Building Trades Coun-
Gil IS because each of these unions Is

Before Election.

The following communication has been
addressed to the Republican Nominating
Convention of the Second Congressional
District:
To the Republican Nominating Contention Of

On the 10Th of July meeting of the Commit

how best to aid in the election of members OF

init the following facts to the consideration OF
the Republican nominating convention OF the
Second Congressional District which is TO be
held at Sacramento on the 18th inst, to name
a successor to the Hon. Grove L. Johnson, who

A WOMAN BADLY SCARED
She Was Aroused by a Burly
Intruder Who Cut a Hole
in Her Tent
Twenty Shots Fired at Invaders
of Camps Near Lark
spur.

In the endeavor to capture some sneak
thieves who have been pilfering the tents
of campers in Baltimore Canyon, about
hall mile from Larkspur, Wednesday
evening about twenty shots were fired. and
at least one man was hit by bullet, as
the traces of blood he left behind him
show.
Lsrkspur is a very popular camping
ground for those who desire summer
outing, and this summer about 100 tents
are pitched there. There are in all nearly
1000 persons in the little white city.
For about a week the campers have
missed various sums of money, valuable
pieces of jewelry and other small, portable
articles The amount of coin lost In this
manner aggregates more than $500, to say
nothing of the other things taken.
In many cases the tents have been slit
with a knife to afford ingress and egress.
AS a result, the women and children have
been in state bordering on Mysteries for
several days.
Wednesday evening lady named Craig
rushed from her tent. screaming that
man had Just cut a large hole in the tent
close to where she lay in bed. Several
men seated at a short distance round
fire at once rushed toward the tent, but
the invader had he'd. his footfalls ana
the crashing of brush indicated the direc-
tion in which he was running.
The men at once rushed to their own
tents for arms. and headed by William
Maxwell with a revolver, a gentleman
named Martin, who possessed a shotgun
heavily loaded with buckshot, and Robert
D. Duke, armed with small parlor rifle,
at once made off in active pursuit.
The fleeing men, for the thief had evi-
dentlY been joined by several mpanions,
headed their course UP the canyon. At
one time they were surrounded on three
sides. Then it was that the shooting
began. The pursuing posse at this juno
ture had several narrow escapes from
shooting one another in their excitement.
However. the thieves managed to escape
into the hills. Diligent search next day
revealed traces of blood on the ground
and bushes where the shooting had oc-
CURED. Nothing TO reveal the identity of
the thieves was found.
Last night several of the gentlemen in
camp sat up all night waiting for the
thieves to return. Evidently they were
satisfied with their experience of the night
before for no one showed up.
1t is believed that the malefactors are
wandering peddlers, many of whom have
lately been seen in the vicinity.

Past Sachem Edward Conoliey, chairman
of the banquet committee.
After the discussion OF an elaborate
menu, the master OF ceremonies proposed
the toasts and announced the responses as

This ''rising SUM- the council fires will
be lighted for the last time this year. The
main business before the Red Men and the

of a meeting place tor the next council.
The latter proposition has not been ex-
tensively discussed yet, though many
places have been suggested.
The council drawing to close is consid-
cred by members and representatives one
of the most successful in the history OF

|REDD|NG MINERS
At LOGGERHEADS.
Trouble Occurs Among the
Owners of the Alta
Group.
FORGERY Is CHARGED.
Clyde Fl. Williams, w. N. Rob-
inson and Attorney Robert
Ash Arrested.
ALL RELEASED ON BONDS.
Claimed That City Attorney Charles
H. Braynard of Redding Is at the
Bottom of the Business.

Clyde Fl. Williams. secretary of min
ing com pany owning the Alta group of
mines in Shasta County, was arrested yes
terday afternoon by Constable Eldridge of
Redding on Justices warrant charging
him with a felony, but there was nothing
On the warrant to show what the felony
consisted of. The complaining witness
was A. W. Graham, president of the min
ing company.
There were also warrants in the con-
stables possession for the arrest of w. w.
Robinson, treasurer of the company, and
Robert Ash, attorney for the company.
Attorney Ash at once applied to Judge
Slack for writs of habeas corpus, and they
were made returnable before Judge Bahrs
tomorrow. Their bonds were fixed at
$1,000. which were promptly forthcoming.
This is q trumped-up CHARGE" said At
torney Ash last evening. I'VE are charged
with forgery, but there is nothing in the
world to base the charge upon.
"Mr. Robinson has been here for some
time with the object of negotiating sale
of the mines to new corporation. John
G. Simons, the capitalist, who died the
other day in New York, was arranging to
hams interest. Unfortunately his death
put an end to that, and we wired to Gra-
ham, asking what to do, and he replied to
60 ahead and make new deal.
''Charles III. Braynard, City Attorney of
Redding. has been using his influence
upon Graham to get him to place the sale
of the mines in his hands, and our arrest
on the charge of forgery is the result.
The forgery is alleged to consist of chang
ing the name of the deed to the new cor
poration. 1t is typewriter, and how
could it be forged2
~ have in my possession documents
that will bear out every word that ha We
said"
According to Williams there is another
reason for their arrest.
Robinson and IT, said Williams, "are
witnesses against Braynard IN criminal
case against him which will come up in
the Oakland court tomorrow morning,
and Robert Ash is the special prosecutor.
'Braynard is charged with grand lar
ceEy and / am the complaining witness.
About the end of June was the victim of
a footrace to the extent OF $500. The race
was between Ryan and Mills alias McDon-
aid, and took place in Shell Mound Park.
1t was fake and 1 was out $500. I blame
Braynard for putting up the job on me.
at seems to me he had Graham 1nflri-
enced by some means or other to swear out
the warrants for our arrest on this trumped
up charge. so that when his case came up
tomorrow morning we would not be there
to give our testimony. But We will be
there.
~ am exceedingly surprised at Gra-
hams action. Robinson and own two
thirds interest in the mines, and we have
consulted in everything regarding the
formation of the new corporation. Every
thing we have done has met with his ap-
proval, as letters and kilograms in Mr..

of the Absconding Janitor.
The board of managers of the Empor.

last evening, to pay the wages of the EN-.

Brooks contracted to do the janitor work
on the Emporium building for stated
sum per month, and hired such men as
he needed to perform the service. Many
of the men have families dependent OF,
them, and actual want was staring them
in the face through loss of their July
wages.
The generous action of the Emporium
managers, who had already paid out the
money to Brooks, and who were in no
manner responsible for the mems wages,
was gratefully appreciated by the rascal 1

A few days ago w. F. Brooks, head JAM

considerable sum of money that he should
have paid to the men under him.
