LIVED NEARLY A HUNDRED YEARS.
Death of w. E. Chamberlain, a Pio-
neer of '49.
Had Been Resident of Sacramento
for Forty-Six Years-Sketch
of His Life.

w. E. Chamberlain, pioneer of 40
and one of the most respected citizens of
Sacramento, died at his home, 1918 M
street, shortly before 1 o'clock this
morning He was in his 95th year, and
had been i'll for some time.
Mr.. Chamberlain was born in Dun
stable (now Nashua), New Hampshire,
in 1901, his parents being members of
early and prominent New England fam
lilies His father was a Boston mer-
chant and his mother the daughter of a
New Hampshire clergyman. She was a
relative of Daniel Webster, and Mr..
Chamberlain was intimately acquainted
with the great statesman.
His mother opposed his entering West
Point, so he entered the mercantile bus
mess in Boston, afterward lin 1920 re-
moving to Cincinnati, thence to Oxford,
o., and finally to Terre Haute, Ind,
where he remained until January, 1919,
when he started with small party for
the Golden State. They had a terrible
experience on the plains. All the MEM
bers of the party fell sick, one after an
other, and all turned back, except Mr..
Chamberlain, who was taken up by the
next train of emigrants and made the
journey with them.
Sacramento was reached in August of
that year, and Mr.. Chamberlain struck
out for the Costumes River, where he
engaged in mining. He returned in the
spring and purchased a little store from
Lindley & Booth. He was burned out
by the big fire of 1852, and in 1854 was
elected City Treasurer. The following
year he was elected City Clerk and
Auditor.
In the spring of 1865 he became con-
nected with the bank of D. o. Mills &
Co. and remained in it's employ until a
few years ago, when old age and in
trinity forced him to leave the desk and
seek rest in his home.
Mr. Chamberlain was married in
Searsport, Me-, to Miss Charlotte A.
Kidder, daughter of Nathaniel and
Sarah Kidder of Boston. She came to
this State in 1858 and died here in 1888
The eldest son, Edward, was educated
in Sacramento, became an assayer, and
died in Mexico in 1884 of yellow fever
Their daughter Florence is the wife of
Benton Julian, who has been identified
with educational interests in this city
William Edward, the youngest son, is a
resident of Oakland, but engaged in
business in San Francisco.

BILL APPLEMAN, ALIAS TEXAS. y
He Wants $4,000 of the Railroad
Company's Money.
Says His Good Character Was Damaged
by His Arrest and Trial
for Murder.

A telephonic message from the Wood
land Mail last evening announced
that w. H. Appleman, alias Texas, -
who was tried but escaped conviction
for completely in the wrecking of the
train in Yolo on July IL, 1894-by which
fiendish act Engineer Sam Clarke and
four brave soldiers were murdered
had sued the Southern Pacific Company
for $4,000 damages.
Appleman has secured the services of
Lawyer w. P. Harlow of this city, and
doubtless enjoys blissful dreams, both
day and night, of showers of railroad
sheckels falling from the Yolo skies
and almost submerging him in a sea of
gold.
In his complaint Mr.. Appleman,
otherwise known as Texas" charges
that the railroad company maliciously
caused his arrest and prosecution for
murder, and that it was instrumental
in having the details of the trial pub
lished broadcast over the country, MAX
ing him so notorious that no one will
employ him.
Mr.. Appleman, alias Texas fur
Their alleges that when he was arrested
at Fort Bidwell, away up near the Ore
gon line Ito which point the detectives
had pursued hin), the arresting officer
subjected him to great scandal by hav-
ing him "shackled, manacled and Ore
gon- booted" and in this awful pre-
dicament carried him back to Wood
land on railroad train.
For all of these outrages upon his
good name and character, Mr.. Apple
man, alias Texas" demands that the
Southern Pacific Company shall pay
over to him the sum of $4,000 as a
balm to his wounded pride, and recon-
pense for the wages that he has not
been allowed to earn by honest labor.
Perhaps when this case comes to
trial Mr.. Appleman. alias Texas, .
will explain to the jury why it
was that he left this locality so
suddenly after the train was wrecked in
Yolo and five men were murdered thereby
and why it was that he kept on going
until he was overhauled near the Ore
gon line. Apparently he did not stop
very often on the way in search of that
honest employment of which he says he
has been deprived by the railroad com
pany's prosecution of the charge
against him.
OOCS
at that time, though his destination ap-
peared to be the wilds of the Webfoot
State, where that class of footgear had
its origin.
Perhaps at this trial Mr.. Appleman,
alias "Texas," will explain what was
his mission over into Yolo with Worden
and his party on the fateful morning
that the track was loosened and Engi-
~
were hurled to their death while per-
forming their duty
Perhaps Mr.. Appleman, alias
Texas" may explain why-but what's
the use of further speculating on what
he may do when the case comes to trial?
1t may be worth while to ask, however,
IL he has been "queered" among en-
ployers of labor by what has heretofore
in connection with the Yolo
crime, what will be his chances for Sc
curing honest labor after he gets
with the case in which he is the

Easy If You know How.

A sporting gentleman, who had the
reputation of being a very bad shot, in
vited some of his friends to dine with
him.
Before dinner he showed them a tar
get painted on barn door, with bullet
right in the bullseye.
This he claimed to have shot at 1000
yards distance.
AS nobody believed him, he offered to
bet the price of an oyster supper on it.
On one of his guests accepting the
wager, he produced two witnesses
whose veracity could not be doubted to
prove his assertion.
Since they both stated that he had
done what he claimed he won his bet.
During dinner the loser of the wager
inquired how the host had managed to
fire such an excellent shot.
The host answered:
well, I shot the bullet at the door at
a distance of 1000 yards and then I
painted the target round tilt Bits.
