Monterey Hermit'S Last
Sleep on a r ailWay
Track.
Antonio CaraSellaS Struck
by a Locomotive and
Killed.
Some Credence Given Theory
That He Was Drugged and Left
There to Die,
Special Dispatch to The CALL

MONTEREY, Oct. 20.-Antonio Carasel-
las, who because of his peculiar manner
of living has long been known as one of
the oldest of Montcrey's many odd per-
sonages, met his death last night IN a
manner which accorded we'll with his
strange career. While lyin: drunk upon
the railroad track he was struck and killed
by an incoming train. When his body
was examined not q Gu: o. scar of any
kind, except one small bruise on his back,
could be found. An old rusty pistol lay
beside him, with it's barrels empty.
Many persons believe that Carasellas
was placed upon the track by enemies
while drunk.
Antonio Carasellas has long been one OF
the characters of Monterey, living i'll a
measure the life of a hermit in his queer
half boat, half house, which stood below
high-water line on the beach near the
Southern Pacific freight depot His
shanly was one of the CuriositieS of the
town. He was fisherman by trade CO.
ing always alone in his boat. Though an
Italian he was dubbed bv the other fish
ermen here "Espanolito" meaning little
Spaniard. because of his dIminutive size
and swarthy mplexion. He had been
drinking very heavily ot late, and yester-
Qay afternoon had started nome from one
OF the saloons. That was the last seen Of
him until he was found on the track after
the incoming evening train was supposed
TO have killed him.
The engineer was bringing his train into
Monterey station at half speed when he
noticed an object on the track. He was
too close to stop before reacuing it, and
the engine struck it and threw it from
the track. The train was stopped and the
body of a man was found beside the rails.
Life still remained, but after the unfortu-
nate had been conveyed up town he ex-
pired.
The theory that CaraseHas was placed
upon the track by enemies while ne was
drunk or that he was drugged or poisoned
and then left between the rails may be
borne out when the inquest is held. An
autopsy is to be conducted TO determine
whether he had awallowed any drug inst
prior 10 his death.
Though living and laboring alone, Cara
seIlas was known to have 4 few stauch
friends and some bitter enemies, and
being man who never forgot one nor the
other, the poisoning theory is not incred-
ible- His house, which was built with q
keel bottom and long PROV. was made
stationary in the sand by braces in dry
dock fashion. and at high tide was always
surrounded by water. He never explained
why he built it in this way. To-day it
was torn away and the lumber carted off.

MAY Be A Big
CYCLE DEAL
Bright Prospects for the
California Associated
Cyclists.
President Orr of the Canadian
Wheelnen's Association
Has Arrived.
Afiliation With Canada Means Reoog-
milton by the International
Cyclists Union.

George H. Orr, president of the Cana
dian Wheelmen's Association, arrived
here yesterday, accompanied by his wife
and is at the Palace. Mr.. Orr left Toronto
October on his bridal tour and has
spent some time in British Colum bia.
Washington and Oregon. He is com bin.
ing business with pleasure, as the sec.
ondary object of his trip is to find out
the extent of the control OF the California
Associated Cycling Clubs over the cycling
affairs of the Pacific Coast and to deter
mine whether his association should
recognize it as a contemporary body. in
which event he would recommend that
the California association be admitted to
mem bership in the International Cyclists
Union, the largest governing body in the
world covering this sport.
Mr.. Orr spent yesterday afternoon visit
ing prominent officials of both the c. A..
c. c. and the League of American Wheel
men, and last evening q conference be-
tween him and the c. A. G. G. men was
held, at which the position of the new
BODY was laid bsfore him.
When seen by CALL reporter Mr.. Orr
was inclined TO be rather uncommunica-
tive. There isn't much for me 10 saw ~
ne salO. Il am out mere on my wedding
trip, and came this far West particularly
10 look into this fight between the Cali
fornia Associated Cycling Clubs and
the League of American Wht telmen.
Ii l determine that the C. A C. C. is In
full control of the racing interests of the
Pacific Coast, when l go back l may possi-
bly, recommend to my association that we
recognize the California body and also
present its application 70 the Inter-
national Cyclists Union.
You see, The whole thing is this: Our
riders up in British Colum bia want to
compete with the coast riders BELONGING
10 the G. A. C. c. As We have an agree.
meut with the l.. A. w. to recognize each
others suspensions and sanctions, and as
the l.. j. w. has suspended all G. A. c. q.
riders, TO authorize our British CoIum bj a
men to do that would be an open viola
ton of our agreement. However, the L..
A. w. cuts so little figure with us or in
the racing world generally we would be
perfectly willing to do this II we thoug hit
1t best. In other words, we will protect
our British Columbia riders, even at the
exnense Of severing our relations with the
L. A. W."
Mr.. Orr is going to Monterey to-day.

SACRAMENTO, Oct 20.-Tre inter-
views published in to-day's CALL have
been the talk of this city since the paper
arrived
Why" said a prominent Republican
to THE CALL correspondent, "to hear the
supporters of Hubbard and Stephens talk
one would think that the respectability Of
this community was confined 10 those
who are Hubbard and Stephens men.
Those interviews in to-day's CALL will, /
think, open some peoples eyes. Ii you
can pick out more representative lot of
Sacramento's best men than that list con-
taIns / d like 10 have you do it. / tell you
that list is 'corker' on Stephens and
Hubbard, each one of whom is claiming a
monopoly Of the respectable element OF
the town."
George Ryder, the downtown politician,
had no relish for that sort of a dish and
said: "Of course there must be some
supporters OF Land and ne will get pretty
good vote. | will place to Land's credit
when the polls are closed between 100
and 800 votes, the proba bilities being that
he will not touch the latter figure"
How many will Hubbard have?"
Somewhere nigh on to 10000, and he
vii! be the next Mayor, and don't you for
geti said George, as he dropped into a
chair in Captain Siddon' 'read ng. room" ="
The trouble with you fellows is you're
trying 10 make butter out of skinned
milk. The material you're working with
has had The cream tarken out of it. A
Republican nomination amt worth
noth!n' no more. ALI the good men have
left the party. Now, there's Ben Stein
man and Howard Kim brough and Luhrs
and L. l.. Lewis. When these kind of men
ran with you you had some chance, but
with nice creamy men like them ia ken
out your cak.'s all dough. No, sir; you
cant win. Hubbari's the man.
Now, there's another man you fellows
used to have. He amt with you no more.
He's with us good people, like me, and

rest OF the White Wings. We don't de-
pend on no party when We ct the itchin'

The Health Department is worried over
the cases of DR.. AttiIo GianninI and

stricken down at the City and County
Hospital. Since attending E. Miller, who
died OF typhus recently at the Twenty
sixth-street hospital, they have been very

said to indicate typhoid fever rather than
typhus, and the authorities have hopes
that the two men who so heroically rlsked
their lives may yet avoid the terrible dis
ease.
More fear is entertained for Nurse
Hawkins than for the physician, as his
fever increased all day yesterday, and his
tenn perature late last night was 104 and
gradually increasing. DIR. Giannlni was
slightly improved, his fever not being so
hirh.
