just before the POLLS closed in this city
this evening large crowd gathered at the
polling place in the Odd Fellows building.
1t had become known that the Redwood
vote would be centered on Miss Neuman,
although there were nearly dozen worthy
candidates. There was a delightful air of
uncertainty hanging over it all, as voting
was also being conducted at Menio Park,
Belmont San Mateo. Millbrae and South
San Francisco, and the ballots in each
place were held back until nearly the last
mo ment.
AT 4,3O o'clock Miss Neuman had 600
votes at Redwood City, but just then the
courthouse contingent filed into the poll
ing place, and it began to rain gold and
silver.
1t did not come by quarters and halves,
but gold was showered down by tens and
twenties. When the first pile was counted
it meant $50 votes for Miss Neuman. but
the clinking of coin never stopped until
the great bell on the High School tolled
out o'clock, and within twenty minutes
over 1900 votes had been cast for Miss
Nerman, making 1912 votes for her at
Redwood City alone. She received 1871
votes at Woodside. making her total 1888
votes.
There were three other very popular
candidates-Miss Goggin of San Francisco,
Miss Henrietta Lawlor, who finished Sec
ond, and Miss Nellie Hammerson, both of
MEMO Park. Each OF these Charming
young ladies received most compliment
tary vote. and the only regret is that but
one queen could be elected out OF the

SAVES FOUR FROM DEAT TIL
A Seaman of the Cutter Perry
ReScues the Crew of a
Capsized Boat.
Swims to Their Aid With Lifeline
Through a Heavy Sea-A
Boatswain Drowned.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, April 21.-
The cutter Commodore Perry arrived here
this afternoon from San Francisco, and
Captain Smith reports one of the toughest
voyages he ever experienced, with terrible
head winds and high seas all the way from
the Golden Gate. On Saturday morning
the cutter had the misfortune to lose a
man overheard, the unfortunate person
being Boatswain Alfred Halfeli, native
of Switzerland. who had been with the
cutter two years, and was one of the best
officers in the service.
Halfeli was attending to routine duties
at clock, with rubber boots and storm
clothes en-. A terrible sea was running,
and he was suddenly swept overheard by
big wave. His heavy clothes carried
him down. The ships boat was soon over,
manned by Gunner Johnson and Seamen
Thorpp, Jacobsen and Dykes. More than
an hour was spent in searching for the
boatswain, but the body was not seen
after he first struck the water.
When the ships boat attempted to re-
turn to the cutter it was impossible to do
so because of the terrible sea running,
and finally the boat was capsized when
attempting to round to the cutter. The
four occupants were sent headlong in to
the sea, and as it was impossible to lower
another boat for them it seemed certain
that they would perish in the chilling
waters.
about to be abandoned by Captain Smith,
a young man named c. c. Moulthropp, an
ordinary seaman, quickly threw off his
coat and boots, seized a line. jumped over
board and swan toward the drowning
men. His efforts are described by the

]. T. Newcomer, the Homicide,
Claims That He Fired in
Self-DefenSe.
QUARRELED OVER PROPERTY
He Walks to Sonora and Surrenders
Himself Into the Custody of
a Sheriff.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 21.-Colonel
Caleb I. Dorsey was shot and killed at
l 80 O'Clock this afternoon, at mine fif-
teen miles from Columbia, by ]. T. New
conner. The latter fired twice, both bullets
striking Dorsey. The killing resulted from
a dispute over a mine in which the two
men were interested. After the shooting
Newcomer went to Columbia by the trail
leading from the mine to the town. When
he arrived there he was almost breathless
from the trip, which he made on foot. To
Telephone Agent Davis he said that he
had killed Dorsey in order to save his own
life, but he was too excited to give any
further particulars, and hastened op to
Sonora, where he surrendered himself into
the custody of the Sheriff.
The only witness to the killing of Dor
sey was the nephew of the murdered man,
and he could not be reached at a late hour
this afternoon. As soon as the news of
the killing was received at Columbia a
number of men started on foot for the
mine, among them the Coroner. They
had to make the journey over the same
trail by which Newcomer came in from
the mine.
Dorsey was shot twice, one bullet enter
ing the stomach and tie other striking
him in the side. The murdered man was
well known here, as he was frequent Wis.,
itor to Stockton. He was about So years
of age. He has a brother living in San
Jose. Dorsey has owned the mine over
which he was killed for the past twenty
years, the property bearing his name.
About six months ago Newcomer came
from Texas to Columbia and purchased an
interest in the mine. He had very little to
say about the affair after surrendering to
the authorities at Sonora, and merely
reiterated the statement made to the ope-
rator at Columbia that he shot in seIf-de-
fense. Dorsey is connected by marriage
with the family of DR.. Young, one of the
physicians on the asylum staff here, and
has a sister living here-Mrs. L. E. d.
Ewing.

for the convention, stated her views in
this positive fashion:


| Joaquin Miller presented a lion that must be
conquered by underhanded and unfair means.
! We are not seeking our ends by any manner of
unfairness. We are openly opposed to the
| liquor traffic and propose to accomplish the
| death of this lion of intemperance in brave,
| open fight on the lines of battle proposed by
| our organization. Mr.. Miller showed US the
] lions and then gave us to understand that we
couldn't beat them even by the methods he
| proposed. We gained nothing by listening to
! him. The money paid him for an hours talk
was simply thrown away.
The feeling of dissatisfaction was apparent
! in the very restlessness of the audience. Be-
sides being an inappropriate lecture for the
occasion, it was, from literary point of view,
uninleresting. He rambled around good
deal and talked In disconnected way that was
unpleasant to listen to. His delivery was ex-
| ceedingly unhappy. The fact is that Joaquin
Miller is not an orator a lecturer.
1t is simply painful to listen to him and dis
| agreeable to look at him. He looked as though
| he had just come out of the mines and made
! one big jump from the days of 40 to 1896 and
| landed in that convention as though he had
| just dressed himself hastily and neglected to
| draw his trousers down over his boots. 1t may
| be very picturesque, that attire of Joaquin
M1llers, but it was very unbecoming; and the
man himself was entirely out of place lectur-
ing to women on the subject of temperance.
| Mrs. S. G. Brown is quiet little woman,
who is an earnest worker in the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union and who has
some very positive notions about the
drinking habit. She believes in teetotalism
| or nothing. In referring to Joaquin Mil
ler's lecture she was mild of voice, but
very firm in her opinion, saying:
Joaquin Miller told us that he drank wine
that he had it on his table every day. He
might have stopped at that statement We had
no desire to hear him further. That is the way
he introduced himself to US, and he showed
plainly that he is not the Kind of man to lee
ture on temperance to a Christian people
His kind of temperance is not the kind the
Bible teaches, and we are following the Bible
idea. l could see by the expressions of the
faces of the women who heard him that they
were all as thoroughly displeased as 1. They
had no need to express their dissatisfaction in
words-their faces told the fact plain enough
l care nothing about the mans appearance
1t was his words that displeased me. If he
drinks wine he had no business talking to us
of temperance. We are not wine drinking

There is in these interviews the sum
and substance of the estimation in which

is held by the Woman's Christian Temper.

lungs but the terrible drain and waste
go on all over the body. The only way
to get rid of consumption is to work on
the blood, make it pure, rich and whole
some, build up the wasting tissues, put
the body into condition for a fight with
the dread disease. The cure of consump-
ton is fght-a fight between sound
tissues and the encroaching germs of
disease.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
fights on the right side. 1t drives the
germs back, forces them out of the body.
It will cure e9 per cent of all cases of con-
sumption if it is taken during the early
stages of the disease Its first action
is to put the stomach, bowels, liver and
kidneys into good working order That
makes digestion good and assimilation
quick and thorough. 1t makes sound
healthy flesh. That is half the battle.
That makes the Discovery" good for
those who have not consumption, but
who are lighter and less robust than
they ought to be.

JACK FROST FAVoRs FLoRIN.
Lattte Damage Has Been Done In the
Famous StratcberrH Belt.


Famous Strawberry Belt.
FLORIN, CAL, April 21.-The heavy
frosts which have recently prevailed in
nearly all parts of the State touched this
vicinity lightly. Florin being the ship
ping center for all growers of strawberries
within radius of twenty miles, good
idea can here be cleaned as to the extent
of damage done. W. o. Davies, one of the
most extensive truit-growers in this Sec
ton and manager Of the Florin Fruit
growers Association, says:
"The cold snap so far has effected us
little or not at all. With the aid of smoke
from smudges the frost has been banished
from our vineyards, and as to strawberries,
the only thing we now fear is heavy rain,
which would do great damage to ripening
berries. Should the rain hold off we can
look forward to one of the most prosper
Gus seasons we have had in years."
Large shipments of strawberries are
made daily to Portland and all the princi-
pal cities throughout the Northwest, and
the present price is considerably above
that of the same time last season.

WOODLAND, CAL, April 21.-The pre-.
hminary examination of Collum and Shep-
herd, ,proprietors of the Woodland Wooden
mills, charged with firing the plant on
January 27, was resumed to-day. Seven
witnesses were examined, all of whom
were employees OF the mill at the time
the property was burned. Their testi-
mony was in direct rebuttal regarding the
amount of wool in the mill on the day of
the fire. Of the AZ, 800 pounds claimed by
the defendants to have been DESTROYED
not over 1000 pounds, so far as the witnesses
knew, was in the mill on the day of the
flre, and that amount was. alleged to have
been waste wool.
During the examination of Miss Neff
Attorney Clark objected to the District
Attorneys line of questioning in terms so
strenuous that all those inside the railing
were on their feet in an instant, and for
few moments the courtroom presented
lively scene. While Judge Lam pton
was loudly rapping for order Clark, above
the din, was shouting:

longer bulldozed and browbeaten by the
District Attorney and this court. and
