MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED
Marin County's Sheriff asked to In
vestigate the Drowning of an
italian Fisherman.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. 7.-Sheriff Harri-
son has been requested to investigats the
death of Antonio Bertoliro, the Italian
fisherman who's body was washed ashore
at Bolinas some days ago. The Coroner's $
jury returned a verdict of death by
drowning, but the friends of the dead man
believe that he was murdered by other
fishermen and the Sheriffs aid has been
invoked.
An Italian cook in the employ of J. W.
Person at Bolinas overheard quarrel be-
tween the fisherman ard another Italian.
during which the latter made threat.
Bertolino's friends assert that the dead
man made enemies because in his fishing
he was successful and refused to locate he
best fishing grounds for the Others VINO
pliPd the same vocation.
When the body was brought to the
Morgue the face was cut, presumably by
contact with the sharp rocks, but now it
is claimed that the cuts were the result of
fight with another fisherman. Weak
from loss of blood, Bertolino's friends con-
tend. the fatally wounded man attempted
to reach shore in his boat, but lost control

Town Marshal William
DelaShmutt Among
the Missing.
Flees in Company With the
Woman Who Caused His
Downfall.
Negle cted to Turn In Money Re-
CeiVed From Holders of City
L CenSes.
Special Dispatch to THE CALL.

FRESNO, Nov. Town Marshal Will
peared, together with about $500 of the
munich paliiy's funds He has not been
heard of since last Thursday. when he left
for the north, accom- panied by two
women, one of whom was the cause OF his
downfall.
The Marshal is young man, being
between 25 and 80 years old. He has
always had a reputation for honesty up to
the present time and his most intimate
associates are much surprised at learning
that tie is defaulter. During the last six
weeks Deashmutt has frequently visited
Fresno, and several times rem aimed for
a number OF DAYS. A female friend seemed
to be the attraction, and as he was not
known to gamble it is believed that she
had something to 10 with his downfall.
Delashmuttt received $40 a month as
City Marshal and was a deputy under
Constable r. E. Zimmerman. His dep
utyship raised his monthly income to
about $40. This is not large enough in
come to satisfy a man with luxurious
tastes, but as the marshal was single and
apparently economical his friends imag-
ined that he was living within his means.
One explanation of the shortage is that
while collecting city licenses it was Gus
tomary for the Marshal 10 pay his lis by
giving a receipt for the license. 1t seems
that tie merchants used this means of
securing the payment OF their accounts
against Delas shmutt, who used his mont thly
income fer other purposes than making
good the dehcIt TO the city. Delash-
NUTS object in leaving is said to have
been to prevent his mother from coming
to his assistance and paying the deficit.
She has little property and is very much
devoted to her son, and be knew she
would sacrifice everything to save him
from disgrace and perhaps the peniten-
tiary.
Delashmutt, it is believed. went to San
Francisco, and from there TO some point
in Oregon. Yesterday afternoon a meet
ing OF the City Trustees of Selma was
held. They found that the books were in
such condition that the MarshaPs short
age could not be exactly ascertained. All
that could be learned from ha,ty inves-
tgation was that the amount will be be-
tween $3.50 and 500

MAEY LOTS NOT TAXED.
Numerous Errors Found in the As

LOS ANGELES, Nov. The Office of

ords attached to it aresin de plorable con-
dition. The Grand Jury, now in session,
is engaged in an investigation which may
result in an attempt to remove l.. s. Sea-

last December, owing to split in the Re-
publican ranks.
Error, in the assessment roll are daily
coming to light. Mum bers of lots have
been omitted from the roll and in some
cases whole blocks OF property have been
passed over. Vacant property has been
assessed as improved. In instances the
actual value of property has been entered
as the assessed value, which in this CT ty Is
bout 60 per cent OF the actual value.
Double assessments are reported.
These errors in this department of the
city government have arisen through the
employment Of incompetent help. The
City Assessor / imself has been very
sick man for about ten months and has
been unable to give to his office any per-
sonal attention.
The Finance Committee of the City
Council is conversant with the condition
matters are in, and the Grand Jury is
looking into the subject. Thus far no
evidences of official dishonesty have come
to the surface.

tin, having on board H. NJ. a Miller of
San Francisco and the three miners who
claim to have been poisoned by Captain
II all OF the schooner Grace. Miller and
another San Francisco capitalist outfitted
Hall and the miners to make an epedition
to Santa Rosaia, this side of Santa Do
mingo, to develop certain prospects that
Hall claimed to have discovered. Chief
Russell is anxously awaiting the arrival |
of the Anita. as evidence is expected that
will justify the arrest of Captain Hall on
the charge of attempted murder as we'll
as that of grand larceny. Hall Is
living seriously i'll of pleurisy at the
Marine Hospital, and his sickness is likely
to develop into pneumonia. A police Of
ticer is detailed to watch him day and
night, as he is considered to be the trick
lest and most dangerous criminal handled
by the local police for long time.
Miller wired from San Quintin to Chief
Russell. asking him 10 arrest and hold
Hall for attempted murder and grand
larceny. The attempted murder was the
poisoning of the three miners and the
sailor Barney Wilson on the schooner
Grace on the way to Santa Rosaia. The
miners suffered more than Wilson, and
one of them almost died. They suspected
something was wrong, and after they d is.
coverrd that Hall was feigDing sickness
they accu ed him OF poisoning them. He
saw the game was up they claim, and
threw the sack of -four overheard and
tried in other ways to hide the evidence

Miller declares that Halls object was to
do away with the men and steal the
schooner. From one OF the crew of the
schooner Acme, which picked Hall up
after he left the strande Grace, it was
learned to-day that Hall and the sailor
Barney Wilson had a terrible battle on
the beach near the schooner. Hall ap-
parently intended to count on Wilson as
an ally In stealing the schooner but the
sailor refused 10 go in on the deal. After
he discovered that Hall had used poison he
watched the man carefully, ana when the
Grace was run ashore in the gale he stuck
clo.e to the vessel and had his revolver
handy, afraid that Hall would get posse s.
sion Of the vessel and drive him away
Hall then attempted to drive Wilson
away and the fight ensued.
Hall was beaten and driven off and Will
son remained with the schooner, which he
foated, and is now bringing back TO this

captain, as he sits toward the close of dav
moking in his office window, the quaint
easement and over-haDging tiled roof
making picturesque frame for the quaint

PRINCE HENRY BURIED At SEA.
Story Started by Sailors That Has
Caused Princess Beatrice
Great Deal of Worry.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA World ca BILE
from London says: When Prince Henry
of Battenberg died on British warship
off the west coast of Africa it was stated
the embalming process had to be ban
doned owing to rapid decomposition.
Consequently the casket was not opened
on arrival i'll England. A correspondent
now hears from trustworthy source that
the widowed Princess Beatrice received
information recently that the body OF her
husband not only was not embalmed, but
actually was buried at sea. and that the
caskct which was brought home and put
in the tomb with pomp and ceremony at
Whittingham Church was empty. This
seemingly incredible tale was related
with so much circumstance that the
Princess has asked leave of the Queen to
have the casket opened in order to SCI
her doubts at rest. But Queen Victoria
refused 10 consent to this course, and The
refusal has greatly streng thened the be-
lief prevalent on The Isle OF Wight that
Prlnce Henry's body is not in the crypt of
Whittingham Church at all, but long ago
was food for fishes in the Atlantic. The
story of the burial at sea originated with
the sailors on board the warsh ip on which
Prince Henry died.

FRESNO, Nov. HI Schell is in the
county jail, charged with grand larceny.
II is said to be implicated in the stealth 9
of certain horses from Fresno and vicin-
ity, and if the surmises of the fficers are
correct they have the ringleader of a dar-
ing band OF thieves. Constable Shaw and
his deputies, Will Henry and Con Angel,
as well as Deputy Sheriffs l.. z. Timmins
and p. +. Peck, have all been quietly in
vestigating the mysterious disappearance
of so many horses during the past three
months, and evidence has been obtain ed
of the existence of a band OF horse
thieves, who work in an industrious and
cunning manner.
Schell has a pasture on Laguna de
Tache grant south of here, and this has
served as q rendezvous and resting place
while The thieves were running the
horses out Of the county. The horses were
taken from the pasture when conven nient
and sold in towns in the southern part of
the valley. If the officers we're too alert
for the disposal of stolen animal in this
valley it was driven across The coast
mountains and Sc d.
At one time Schell had sixteen horses in
this pasture, and it is suspected that most
OF them were stolen. Three horses stolen
from this county were found i'll Bakers
field, and they were sold about October |
by Schell. II was discovered that another
horse had been sod, and it is likely that
the animal is one that had been stolen.

GOLD FIND NEAR SALINAS.
Reported Discovery Which Has Caused
Excitement in Monterey
County.

MONTEREY, Nov. THE report OF a
rich gold find near Salinas has thrown this
section into fever of excitement, and al
kinds of wild schemes for obtaining part
of the gold are scussed. The mystery
surrounding the affair lends addeo inter.
est TO an always interesting proposition,
and several people have gone to Salinas to
learn all that can be learned regarding the
discovery.
All that is definitely known is that a
man-who he was or whence he came is
known only to two or three persons-ap-
pared casually in a Salinas cigar-store
and exhibited some extraordinarily rich
gold bearing ore, which he said came from
a mine he had discovered on another
mans land about seven miles from Sail
mas. He disappeared soon after and has
not been heard OF since.
Some regard it as a myth, few even
believing it bunko game; but the ore
was there and its richness apparent
enough, and the Monterey gold-seekers
think if such mine is near Salinas it
must be near Monterey also, and there is
no special reason why Salinas should beat
Monterey in finding it.
