UK|AH'S BANDIT
PLEADS GUILTY.
John Schneider Sentenced
to Twenty Years in
Prison.
GIVES UP THE FIGHT.
The Prisoner Confesses After
Having Been Convicted on
One Charge.
SORRY HE SHOT STANDBY
Sheriff johnson Believes the Stage
Robber Was the Slayer of
Sheriff Pascoe.

UKIAH, CAL, April 1.-THE trial of
John Schneider, alias Haller. on charge
OF robbery, was concluded this morning.
Twenty-Five minutes after the jury retired
it returned with verdict finding the de-
fendant guilty OF the crime of robbery, in
having on January Is robbed the stage
running from this place to Willis, taking
the express-box and contents, about SIT.
Schneider's trial on the charge of having
robbed the same stage on December 81 had
already begun when the verdict in the first
case was returned. After a consultation
with his attorneys the bandit stated his
desire to withdraw his plea of not guilty,
which he had previously entered to the
charge on which he was about to be tried.
Permission was granted by the court, and
he thereupon entered plea OF guilty as
charged in the information. Time for
Judgment was waived and the court at
once passed sentence upon Schneider in
both cases, ordering that he be confined
for term of fifteen years for the crime OF
which he had been convicted and five
years for that to which he had pleaded
guilty. San Quentin was fixed by the
court as the place of his incarceration.
Schneider will be examined before Jus.
tlce Chritchfield tomorrow on a charge of
having assaulted ex-Sheriff Standley with
intent to murder, and, if held to answer,
the information will at once be filed and
the case tried at this term of court. Since
his plea of guilty this morning Schneider
has confessed, it is said, to Sheriff John.
son that he committed the robbery, and
stated that the only thing he was sorry
for was that he had shot Standley.
Sheriff Johnson claims to have sufficient
evidence in his possession to justify him
in charging Schneider with tn murder O.

CAPAY VALLEY AROUSED,
Feeling Against Mcmillan May
Result in an Attack
Upon Him.
Residents Angered Because He Seized
the Land Of the Man His
Sons Killed.

WOODLAND, CAL, April 17.-Deputy
Sheriff Hughes returned tonight from the
scene of the Maxwell murder, in the foot
hills near Capay. He reports that the
feeling in that vicinity against Mcmillan,
the father of the boys who did the shoot
ing, is bitter, and.is likely to break out at
any moment. McMillan's attempt to
jump the dead mans claim as soon as his
death was reported has incensed the peo-
pie almost to desperation. That Mcmillan
has been spared thus far is because the
evidence against him is not positive.
The Mcmillan boys, who are mere lads.
stoutly deny that the shooting was done
Intentionally. When questioned to-day
by the officers the elder boy said that ne
shot at bird and that Maxwell, whom he
did not notice, was in direct range. 1t
was through fear that he ran away when
he realized what he had done. instead of
going TO the old mans assistance No ar
rests have as yet been made, but the Dis
trict Attorney has the matter in hand.

CHIEF LLOYD ARRESTED,
Another Move of the Accused
Gold.Brick Swindler
Root.
Oakland's Chief of Police Appre
hended, but Released on a One
Dollar Bond.

OAKLAND, CAL, April 17.-One of the
boldest tricks yet played in the history of
the god-brick swindlers was attempted
tonight. but it failed to work. About 10
o'clock Attorney Nusbaumer and Deputy
Sheriff Al White marched into the police
station, and the attorney laid his hand on
Chief of Police Lloyd and told him he was
under arrest.
He turned his prisoner over to the
deputy, and the Chief was taken to the
County Jail, where he was charged with
felony for having sworn to misdemeanor
against the goldbrick man, Root, on in
formation and belief
Chief Lloyd suspected what the game
was, and before leaving the City Hall he
told Captain Wilson if bonds were pre-
sented for the release of Root to imme-
dlately rearrest him on suspicion of
felony.
minutes before Attorney Reed walked
into the prison and presented bonds for
the release of Root. Bail had been or
fered for $1,000 on each of two charges.
When the bonds were presented there was
no alternative but TO accept them and re-

diately rearrested on suspicion of felony

fifth time he has been released and been
rearrested. Tomorrow the habeas corpus
mill will be worked for the sixth time.
Chief Lloyd was turned over to the
Sheriff and was shortly afterward released
on bond for 81. Every effort is being
made to hold Root till the Grand jury
meets Monday. The only direct evidence
against him is that of the Dixon banker.
Stephen Little, and as he will not swear to
a complaint, Root can only be held on an
indictment by the Grand: ury.
The District Attorney could present Lit

sembled and ali indictment would at once
issue. 1t is declared by the Superior
Judges who have already ordered Roots
release on habeas corpus that the evil
dence is not sufficient to hold him and his
attorneys declare that his frequent arrest
merely to get him brought within the
jurisdiction of a grand jury is an outrage.
Chief Lloyd will now make more strenu- :
Gus efforts than ever to hold Root till the

DISMAY IN THE DINING-ROOM,

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, April IL
Captain j. G. Hunter, master of the steamer
Umatilla, has had many experiences in
his life on the sea, but the strangest OF
all came last evening as he was carefully
guiding his vessel around the treacherous
rocks of Cape Flattery and into the straits.
The vessel was proceeding under easy
steam, when the outlook forward reported
something floating that looked like an
overturned schooner. The Umatilla's
powerful glasses were at once turned on
the wreckage, and the experienced eye of
Captain Hunter told him it was nothing
but whale, although it was monster.
1t was the work of a moment to decide
what to do, and Captain Hunter swung
the Umatlla around on a bee line with
the sleeping monster and rang down to
the engine-room for full speed. The Una
tilla answered quickly and was soon leap
ing through the water toward the levi
athan. A moment later and the vessel
struck the whale, and for about ten Sec
onds there was oil poured on troubled
waters. The passengers felt the lurch of
the craft and rushed on deck in time to
see the two ends of the half-severed NAM
NAL dangling at the PROV of the steamer.
The force OF the blow had not driven the
steamer entirely through the whale. and,
in preference to pushing the remains into
Victoria, Captain Hunter backed away
from it. Then it could be seen that the
whale was one of the humpback variety,
over fifty feet in length. Several camera
''6ends" were aboard, and secured good
negatives of the unusual sight.
There were four passengers on deck at
the time the whale was struck, but it did
not take long for all to get there. The
bump against the sleeping monster sent
soup and tea flying in all directions in the
dining-room, and it looked for time as
though there was going to be a panic.
Everything quieted down as soon as the
passengers were informed of the cause of
the shock

sixteen horses were to be put on board and
all the passengers rebeiled.
After two days parley the matter was

return OF half fare to two passengers who

their full fare and are taking legal steps to

raisin grapes for this year. The Malagas

is expected that the second or later crop
