censed at the action taken by San Fran

San Francisco last January, M. P. Stein

president. and at the next session he will
be elevated to the presidency OF the Dis
trict Grand Lodge, its highest office. For
that reason it was believed proper by
many of the San Franciscans to endeavor
to have the next convention held in this
city. The local delegates to the conven-
ton did not believe that the lodge here
could undertake so great task as that OF
entertaining $50 or 200 delegates from all
parts of the Pacific Coast who would as
semble here, but the San Franciscans were
so anxious that Stockton should be chosen
as the next meetinr-place that the Stock
ton delegates could do nothing else but
extend an invitation. 1t was accepted by
unanimous vote of the convention, and
ever since the return Of the members o.
Hope Lodge they have been making ar
rangements to provide fitting entertainf

7. Jones, prominent lawyer and Repub-
lican of this county, in speaking of the
probable chances of the nomination of
Grove l.. Johnson for Congress said to-
day:
"In my opinion there is no possible
doubt but that he will receive the nomina-
tion by acclamation, and if so he will poll
the full Republican vote of this Con-
gresslonal district. In Sacramento County
local pride in his career during the last
session will insure him large maj aiority;
for, as far as l can judge from converse
tions held and manifestations OF the peo-
pie in general, his record has given the
citizens of Sacramento County universal
satisfaction"
In interviews with THE CALLS repre-
sentative by prominent business men the
sentiment expressed was that Grove l..
johnson was their first and only choice.
In an interview with the candidate him
self he said:

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 10.-The
Long Beach disincorporation tangle was
transferred to the Superior Court to-day.
Messrs. Schilling, Cosaboom and Allmein,
three OF the Town Trustees, having re-
fused to canvass the returns of the elec-
ton at which the question OF disincorpor-
alton was submitted, the Superior Court
has been asked to mandamas them and
compel them so to do. 1t is set forth that
the proceedings calling the election were
regular; that petition containing the
names OF sixty-one qualified electors was
presented to the Trustees asking for an
election, that number being more than
required by law; that the Trustees or
dered the election; that it was properly
advertised and held on July 81. The votes
were counted by the election officers, and
129 were in favor of disincorporatlon and
I21 against.
The Board of Trustees should have can
yassed the returns and declared the result
on August 3. On that day only Trustees
Damn and Denio were present, the other
three being absent. These two Trustees,
IN order to purge themselves of any con-
tempt, canvassed the vote, but as there
was no quorum their work did not count.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 10.-The
new home of the California Club in the
Wilcox building was thrown open to the
members only at noon to-day. The recep-
ton, while entirely informal, was opened

tirst-empire style, the general effect being
in blue. The woodwork is all of highly
polished white cedar, the ceilings of the
cafe and dining-room being finished in

nation.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 10.-A Coroner's
inquest was held here to-day over the
bodies of Venanz Crosetti and Wally
Feilner, the young people who were shot
and killed on North Third street yesterday
afternoon by Harvey Allender. The evi-
dence at the inquest fully established the
fact that the act was due to jealousy.
Allender had for several years been in
love with the girl. About year ago she
refused to have anything to do with him.
Shortly afterward she became engaged to
Crosetti. Allender for months did every
thing he could to break up the relations
between the young people. He sent
threatening letters to them anonymously,
some of the missives containing drawings
of coffins, skulls and cIossbones.
Allender was frequently warned to leave
the couple alone, but refused to do so. AT
the inquest his former associate, Fred
Schiele, testified that Allender often
threatened to "do the Dago," as he called
Crosetti.
The last occasion was about fifteen MIN
utes before the shooting. Allender said
he had revolver and that he would kill
both Crosetti and the girl, as he shortly
afterward did.
Schiele did not pay much attention, as
similar threats had been made before
without serious results.
A number of witnesses testified to the
details of the shooting. Crosetti was un-
armed, and he rushed up and attempted to
take Allenders pistol away after the first
shot was fired at the girl. Then he him
self was fatally shot.
The jury rendered separate verdicts, to
the effect that Venanz Crosetti and Wally
Feilner came to their death from pistol
shot wounds at the hands of Harvey
Allender, the act having been premeditated
and with malice aforethought.
After the inquest Allender was arraigned
in the Justices court upon two charges of
murder.
His examination was set for tomorrow
upon one charge, and for the following
day upon the second charge. The prose-
cution will be pushed as expeditiously as
possible, and Allender may be tried upon
the charges in the Superior Court next
week.
There will be double funeral to-mor-
row afternoon, and AIlender's victims
will be buried side by side in Oak Hill
Cemetery.

ranged to hold a convention this week
for the purpose of electing eight delegates
to the National Democratic Convention,
which meets at Indianapolis on Septem-
Der 2. Among the Democrats in this
State there is a widespread interest over
the issues involved in the coming Presi-
Dental campaign. While there are hun
dreds of Democrats who will vote to de-
feat Bryan and the platform he stands on,
there are others who want a straight-out
Democratic ticket to vote for. This will
be provided for them by the Indianapolis
conference. Oregon will give to the new
movement respectable support.

AFFRAY At CASCADE.
a Sheepherder Wounded In Four.
Cornered Fight.


Cornered Fight.
MADEIRA, CAL, Aug. 10.-Edward
Hebron and Eugene Tully, young men at
Cascade, got into an alteration yesterday
with two sheepherders in the employ OF
John Daulton, during which one of the
herders was shot in the arm by Hebron,
the ball striking him between the hand
and the elbow and coming out under
meath the shoulder. The wounded man
was attended to by Tully and Hebron after
the shooting and to-day he was brought to
town and placed under the care of a
doctor.
Tully and Hebron own a garden near
Cascade and were working in it yesterday
when the sheep broke into the garden.
Tully and Hebron attempted to drive them
out and one of the herders started for
Tully with a club and the other drew a
revolver and began to shoot. He emptied
his revolver without doing much harm,
one of the bullets tearing Hebron's shirt
and another knocking the pipe out of
Tully's mouth. He then got behind tree
and attempted to reload, but in doing so
exposed his arm, at which Hebron fired.
His aim was true. The herders then siSni-
fed their willingness to quit. No arrests
J ave been made.

O-O OVOIH DIkOhDW n
Los ANGELES, CAL, Aug, Il


A suit of great Importance to San
length along through two or three conrts,
came to a sudden halt in the United
States Circuit Ceurt here this forenoon.
Judge Ollin Welborn filed an elaborate
opinion, sustaining the demurrer in favor
of the defendants.
The case is that of the Consolidated
Water Company VS.. e. S. Babcock ct al.
and was before the court on demurrer to
the bill of complaint. 1t is suit by the
water company against San Diego City,
its Auditor, Treasurer, City Council, the
Southern California Water Company and
E. s. Babcock for decree that the making
of a certain proposition by the city of San
Diego to the defendant, theSouthern Cali
fornia Mountain Water Company, for the
sale to the city of water supply, and the
construction of distributing system, the
acceptance of the proposition, and all the
proceedings were the result of bribery and
fraud, that the defendants had no power
to enter into the contract, and that they
be enioined from doing so.
The opinion sets forth at considerable
length the allegations of fraud and
bribery and the application for permission
to tlle supplemental complaint, and
holds that the first question to be deter
mined is the ground of the demurrer that
challenged the jurisdiction of the court.
After thoroughly discussing the law rela-
tive thereto the court holds:
am satisfied that the San Diego Water Com
pany ana the San Diego Flume Company are
necessary parties to the litigation; and fur
theE, that If they were made parties TO this
suit the controversy would not be wholly be-
tween citizens of different States. Where

ships.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 10. - The
Republican County Convention was called
to order at 20 O clock this afternoon by
tee George Clark. The room was crowded
with delegates and spectators, the latter
made up for the most part of the Rhoades-
Cavaraugh and naroux factions. The
expected battle between these factions
failed to materialize, and the deliberations
were harmonious.
Senator William Johnson of Courtland
placed Thomas II. Berkey in nomination
for temporary chairman, and he was
chosen by acclamation. ]. Charles Jones
was elected secretary, with Max Ginsberg
assistant. A food of nominations for
assistants were referred to the committee
on organization. It was moved that
committees of seven be named by the
chairman, to act on order of business,
credentials and platform and resolutions,
and recess of a few minutes was taken
while the chairman selected committee
men.
When the convention reconvened, after
naming committeeman the chairman
ordered that all delegations present their
credentials to the secretary. Frank Daroux
arose and stated that the delegates from
the Second Ward in Sacramento had no
credentials. Chairman Berkey requested
Daroux to present list of that delega-
tion. A recess was then taken until
o'clock.
On Teconvening, the chairman of the
committee on credentials reported that
the credentials of all were correct, with
the exception of those from the
Second Ward, and it had been
deemed right to seat the Daroux
delegation. The report of the platform
com mittee was submitted. Its salient
points were full Endorsement of the plat
form of the National Republican Conven-
ton, the favoring of total cessation of
foreign immigration, economical admins
tration of county and State affairs, good
roads, legal and uniform taxation at ac-
tual value, and export bounty on agrl-
the official acts OF Representative Grove L.
Johnson during the late session of Con-
gress.
Judson c. Brusie received the nomina-
ton for State Senator by reclamation.
Then the selection of three candidates for
the Superior Judgeships was considered.
Here it became extremely evident that the
slate was not to be implicitly followed.
Even the Daroux faction had various
opinions, and their leader demanded roll
call. The ultimate result was that two
slated candidates, A. P. Catlin and E. G..
Hart, won, the latter by very small mar
gin, while Charles n. Post received the
big total of 180 votes.
After the announcement of the result
the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.

miles northeast of here. Reaching there,
they took the wagons containing the
equipment of the Chinese and drove the
Mongolions on foot to the McCIoud River,
