attempted Fife Murder.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL. Aug. IL
Some time last night Mrs. Thomas Young,
who resides at her home near Steeles sta
ton, received a fracture of the skull which
may result fatally. There are several con-
lectures as to how she received the wound,
one being that she fell from her carriage
while driving home yesterday. another
that she was struck by some one.
Mrs. Young and husband were in town
yesterday attending to legal business in
the settlement of the estate of Mrs.
Young's father, Peter Kelly, deceased. 1t
is said Young became slightly intoxicated
during the day, and Mrs. Young, 1t is be-
leved, drove alone 10 their ranch, six
miles from here. AS to what occurred
from that time until late in the evening
no one seems to know, but shortly alter 8
O'Clock Young brought his wife to town
In an unconscious condition, and called
DR.. Norton, VINO is attending her.
This afternoon warrant was issued for
the arrest of Young and he was jailed this
evening. Young has been married only
few months.

noon and it was learned from one of the
ranch hands that Mrs. Young had returned
to the ranch early in the evening. Young

DEATH At SANTA CRUZ
DR.. William c. Parker, a Pioneer
of Pioneers, Passes to
the Beyond.
He Crossed the Plains in 1876 as
Surgeon in Stevenson's
Regiment.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Aug. IL. - DR..
William G. Parker pioneer of pioneers,
died in this city this morning. He was 73
years old and had been in feeble health
for some time, though he was always
cheerful, even when he realized that he
must die. Only recently he humorously
apologized to his friends for having lived
so long.
Parker was native of New York and
had just graduated with high honors in
medicine and surgery when he secured the
position of surgeon in Colonel Stevenson's
famous regiment, which was dispatched
from New York for California in 1916.
He was a man of high attainments in his
profession and at one time was.w within an
ace of appointment as surgeon-general.
In San Francisco DR.. Parker abandoned
the practice OF medicine and engaged in
business and was at one time very wealthy.
His fortune finally disappeared in the
great crash which wrecked so many others
and sent w. C. Ralston TO his death in the
waters of the bay. This loss did not effect
DR.. Parker's courage. He took up the
burden of life with the same cheerful
bravery which always characterized him.
He was neither cast down nor soured, and
to the very last was as ready to divide his
slender purse with the needy as he was in
the days when his dollars were counted
with seven figures.
The body will be cremated at San Fran
cisco in accordance with the doctors fire.

will be inferred in Odd Fellows Cemetery

FRIDAY about 9 o'clock a petition from
the Portsmouth and Suffolk Water Com
pany was presented to Judge A. 8. Watts
asking that the Portsmouth Lumber
Manufacturing Company be placed in
the hands of a receiver. The court after
considering the petption appointed Mr..
w. w. Robinson, of Berkeley. receiver, to
take entire control and possession OF the
Portsmouth Land and Lumber Compa-
ny's property, books. accounts. etc. 1t
also authorizes him to prosecute all
suits or actions as he may deem nscessa-
ry for the protection of said property and
TO dispose of the same.
1t also directs him to take an inventory
of all property on hand and to give "a
bond of $40, 900 for the faithful perform
nnce of his duttts. The security Is to be
satisfactory to the clerk OF the court.
The amount which that company IS in
debted to the water company is 81 .626.9 &c.
The failure is due to the contraction of
the lumber market. The umb compa-
ny. in its answer TO the petition for the
appointment of n receiver, confesses its
inability TO protitably continue its bust
ness. but asserts that th- assets may be
made to pay the liabilities in full and

will be filed with the count. There are
no preferred creditors.
