son, popular youth, IL years of age, was
accidentally shot near this city this morn
ing while on the way to the Spring Valley
lakes to hunt ducks, in company with
Linton Keating. Nelson and KeatIng left
here in cart to hunt near the Spring
Valley lakes. They had not gone far
when young Nelson dropped the reins and
began TO load his gun despite Keating IS
protest. Having loaded the weapon he
stood it in the cart. butt end down, and
they continued on their way.
They had gone but few yards when
they heard the report of gun, and they
called to teamster who was passing, ask
ing who was trying to shoot them. The
teamster replied that the gun in their cart
had been discharged. So sudden was the
shock that Nelson did not realize that he
had been shot until he saw the blood on
his clothes. Heating took the reins and
immediately drove back to the San Mateo
Hospital, where his companion was given
all the relief possible, but in vain. The
charge was found TO have entered his left
lung and death came to end his suffering
two hours later.

VERY GRoGGY AT THE FINISH
But the Referee Does Not See 1t That
Way and Decides the Contest
a Draw.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 16 6-"Spike"
Sullivan of Boston fought tifteen-round
draw with Danny Mcbride OF New York
at the Broadway Athletic Club tonight.
1t was Sullivan's first appearance as star
in this city and he put up game battle.
For the first ten rounds 'Spike's" style
was not prepossessing and he was wild and
awkward. Mcbride punished him badly,
cutting open his right eye and punching
him ard on the face and jaw. At the end
of the eleventh round Spike" began to
find his way to the body and sent in a
series of terrific swings that weakened his
opponent.
Sullivan rushed at Mcbride like wild
man in the thirteenth and landed a series
of swings on body and Jaw that quickly
dazed Mcbride and the bell saved him.
The local man was better handled than
the Bostonian and came up fairly fresh for
the last round, but Spike quickly took the
starch out ofhim and he was groggy at the
end. Both studied for all they were worth
in the opening of the fifteenth round, but
"Spike" had all the pest of the rally and
Mcbride was all but out. The referee de-
clared the bout draw.
In, the preliminary bouts Jack McKeck
defeated Al Allen and Casper Leon fought

bantam champion. In the opinion of the
audience Leon should have had the de-

exhibition of citrus fruits, raisins, dried
fruits and other products.
The fair will be general as to exhibits,
but display of the citrus fruits of the
valley will be made special feature. The
business men OF the city are thoroug hlv
In accord with the movement started by
the Chamber of Commerce. 1t was
proved at the fair held last winter that
Fresno County could make very credit
able display of citrus fruits. This year it
is the intention to bring in the other
counties of the valley, and with their aid
an elaborate display should be made.
Every packer in the city will display raisins
and dried fruits.
The fair will probably be kept open for
week, aud it is expected that many
visitors will attend from all parts of the
State.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 16.-The
wife of William G. Taylor, newspaper
man of this city, who, it is said, has been
smarting under the attentions accor ded
her husband by Miss Beatrice di Luna for
about two years, fired two shots from re-
volver at her rival in Third-street res
taurant this afternoon. Miss di Luna was
for time a society reporter under Taylor.
She and the editor were often seen in each
others company and when they were sub
sequeptly discharged from one paper the
scandal-mongers wagged their tongues
with much glee.

had a pistol under her cloak. She followed
the pair into Jerry Iliich's restaurant en-
tering the place immediately behind
them.
The editor saw trouble brewing and tried
to dissuade his enraged wife from COM
hitting any overt act, but all to no pur-
pose. She pushed her way past her hus-
band and bang bangl went her pistol at
the covering form of her rival few feet
away. The wife's mark smans hip was poor
and no damage resulted except that Miss
di Luna was put into fit of hysteria. She
fell as if killed by the shot, but soon re-
vived.
After the shooting Mrs. Taylor accom-
panied her husband to the police station,
where she was locked in a cell in state
of great mental excitement. Miss di Luna
is member of an old, highly respected
and formerly wealthy family of this city.

FIRST COACH

Regular Passenger Service
Begun on the Valley
Railway.
Residents Of the San Joaquin
Eager to Patronize the
New Line.
GROWING FREIGHT BUSINESS
Long Trains, Laden With Produce
or Merchandise, Arrive
and Depart.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 16.-The San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway
Company commenced regular passenger
service to-day over its road between this
city and Stockton. A coach is attached to
the freight trains, which have been run
ming regularly for the past three weeks,
for the accommodation of passengers.
The first freight with the coach lett
Fresno this morning at 6 O'Clock. There
were a number of passengers, but not as
many as there would have been had the
fact that the road was commencing gen.
eral passenger service been more widely
known. The train which arrived from
Stockton this evening brought coach
full of passengers. Many Fresnoans. who
were in San Francisco had heard of the
coach being put on, and took advantage
of the opportunity for ride over the new
road.
Every one is eager for the first ride.
The people OF Fresno are desirous OF
patronizing the competing road and show
ing their appreciation of what Claus
SprecEels and the other San Francisco
capitals have done for them. 1t Is
doubtful if one coach will be sufficient to
accommodate the immediate travel.
There is also an eagerness among business
men to give their business to the COM
pany. The long trains which leave and
arrive are conclusiv proof of this.

BURNED TO DEATH AT LYKDEK
Fate of q Man Who Was About to Be
Arrested for the Tacoma Ballot
Box Theffs in June.

TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 16. - Frank
Boyce, who was severely burned in the
house OF ]. F. Miller near Lynden, What
com County, on Wednesday night, died
to-day just in time to escape arrest on the
charge of stealing the ballots from the
city hall in Tacoma in June last.
Detectives had evidence proving his
guilt. and NJ. P. Bulger, ex-chairman OF
the State Populist Committee and mem
Der of the City Council. was on the way to
secure his arrest.
The ballots were those cast in the city
election. The theft was discovered durin g
the progress of the contest case of Orr
against Fawcett, who had been declared
elected. The crime created intense ex-
element at time and large purse was
offered for the arrest of the perpetrators.
Orr was recently seated by the Supreme
Court. Boyce, it is alleged, left Tacoma,
fearing discovery, and went to the Miller
place, Miller being a relative. During the
absence OF Miller and his wife at Popu.
list meeting at Lynden, their house caught
fire, and Boyce was badly burned in a
fruitless attempt to save Mlller's three
children, who were burned to death.

EUREKA DAMAGE SUITS,
Heirs of a Mad River Bridge
Disaster Victim Bring
Action.
Second Case Resulting From the
South Jetty Accident Is Also
Commenced.

EUREKA, CAL, Oct. 16.-The first suit
growing out OF the wreck on the Arcata
and Mad River railroad resulting from the
evening of September Is was commenced
here to-day against the railroad company
by Henry c. and John G. Burke and Mary
J. Hopkins, brothers and sister respec-
lively of George w. Burke, the engineer
who lost his life in the wreck. The plain
tiffs are the sole heirs of the deceased.
They demand $25, 900 damages, alleging
that the faulty construction of the bridge
and the neglect to maintain 1t in repair
were responsible for the disaster. The de-
fendant corporation is composed entirely
of the Korbel brothers and their family OF
San Francisco.
A second suit against John G. Bull, as
contractor for the Government work now
being done on Humboldt bar, was also
commenced here to-day. This grows out
of the accident on the south jetty on the
night of July II, when Edward Inman
and Angus Mcdonald were carried over
board with two falling rockcars and
drowned.
A sister of Inman, in the name of his
child, has already commenced suit for
1000 damages, alleging faulty construc-
t;ol of the cars, and now come John and
Catherine Mcdonald of Prince Edward
Island, who demand like amount on the
same allegations for the loss of their son,
Angus Mcdonald. The San Francisco
Improvement Company is heavily in
terested in the contract, but it is said
the company is secured against loss in
damage suits by insurance. a third suit,
probably for the same amount, may be
commenced soon by relatives of Kenneth
Ferguson, who was injured in the sa me
accident and died two days later from
blood poisonine

Los ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 16.
"My wife was i'll and my children starv-
ing. / could not stand the sight of their
suffering and took the tools. sold them
to buy food. Yes, am guilty. In giving
me sentence pray that the court will
bear in mind the circumstances which
caused my default"
That was the way Don e. Abbot
pleaded guilty this afternoon to having
taken 50 worth of tools from q. Buhrege,
who lives at 211 Temple street. He told
more. He told how he had watched his
wife sinking hour by hour for the bare
necessities of life; how his children had
come to his knee and asked for bread.
"Only little bread, papa; that's all we
want" He had heard them say that and
feeling in his pockets found them empty
money gone, credit gone, position gone.
The usual question was asked:
''Have you anything to say why the
Judgment of court should not be pro-
nounced upon your"
"Nothinl more tn an / have said"
''Then sha sentence you to pay fine
of 500 and suspend sentence during good
behavior" and Don Abbot with a smile
upon his determined face hurried out OF
doors, for his wife was i'll and when he
left the bread his crime had purch ased
was nearly gone.
