SACRAMENTO. CAL. March 16-Power
of San Francisco rose in his seat this after
noon and said that he desired to have the
Assembly investigate certain insinuations
of bribery made against him ana other
Assemblymen by the Examiner. He
therefore offered the following resolution: |:
WHEREAS. A committee was appointed for
the purpose of ofinvestigating the charges made
against J. w. Power in the Examiner of March
13; therefore, be it
Resofred That said committee be given full
power to administer oaths, to subpoena wit
nesses. and such other powers as may be neces-
sary for full and complete investigation.
The Committee on Retrenchment MEL
lex, chairman) was appointed as an inves-
tigating committee and will inquire into
the fake papers insinuations IN the morn
ing. 1t is expected that the investigation
will be short and sweet. The Examiner
will be given an opportunity to transmute
its innuendoes into accusations. This it
will be unable to do. and the Assembly
will waste no further time on the Ex-
aminer. That paper has become so disrep-
uts bic that no attention will be paid here
after to anything it may say.

large and powerful man, was like a

If assistance had not been at hand 1t
would have Jared badly with the officer.

FRESNO LAB08ER'S AWFUL DEATH
Becomes Entangisd in Lasso Thrown
Over a Mule and Is Dragged
fdr Hours.

FRESNO, CAL, March 16.-William 4.
Miller, farmland. met with an awful
death yesterday afternoon at the Bonni-
field ranch, sixteen miles east of this city.
While lassoing mules he became en-
tangled in rope attached to WHO
animal. The mule ran and dragged him
for several hours, until 1t completely ex-
hausted itself. The unfortunate mans
body was horribly mangied.
Miller went out with his brother-in-law,
Nathan Higgins, to catch number OF
mules which were grazing in pasture.
The animals were all very wild, and con-
siderable difficulty was experienced In
rounding them up. Miller succeeded in
throwing his lasso over the head of one OF
the mules, but it made lunge and Jerked
the rope from his grasp. Then the two
men set about to get hold OF the trailing
rope again. The mule ran around in mad
career, and finally Higgins gained posi-
tion Immediately in front OF tho animal.
The n, uIe was running with such speed
that, when the nan appeared In front OF
it and suddenly checked its course, 1t
reared on Its hind less and made vio-
lent turn to one side.
In doing so it sent the rope, which was
trailing behind it, twirling in the air. As
tU6 emu LQo ldsSO QcSCcuucu
who was directly under 1t, reached up TO
catch it,. His hanu missed il and the rope
twirled around his arm. 1t tied itself in
very peculiar manner into hitch, Sc
curely fastening the unfortunate iaborer's
arm. In an instant the mule had resumed
its wild race around the pasture, dragging
Miller at the end Of the rope. The animal
then jumped the fence and the mans
boay struck this with terrible force.
Higgins mounted horse and gave pur-
suit, in the hope of stopping the runaway.
For several hours he followed and tried to
head off the wild animal, but could do no
more than change it's course. Higgins
horse gave out and he had to give up the
chase. The mule did not stop until it was
sta gering, and then Miilers body was
freed.
Miller was "a years of age. His mother
lives at his brotherin-law's, where he mad
been working.

REDDING, CAL, March 16.-Oyer loo
men are diligently securing the country
in the vicinity of Cow Creek, near Bella
Vista, for B. F. Roberts. who disappeared
from his home a week ago Friday. NO
trace of the missing man has been iound.
The road he took from his home Tor
Montgomery Creek would take him over
some tabeland, the ending OF which are
steep cliffs and banks Of unknown depths.
1t is thought he became froz and blinded
with snow and STUN lied over into one OF
these fathom.ess depths.
Mr.. Roberts was recognized as one OF
the ablest political writer's in Northern
California and the last article from ms
pen appeared in the Democrat OF shls CITY
last Thursday. A strange coincidence,
taken with the supposition that he fell
over one OF these cliffs. is that his last
article was headed ''The Deepest Depths"
Search will be continued until his body
is found or his whereabouts become

LATE TRAINS FOR SAN RAFAEL.
Petitions Asking the North Pacific Coast
Railroad TO Better Its


MILL VALLEY, CAL, March 16-The
people of M rim County are about to petit.
ton the North Pacific Coast road TO run
night train from San Rafael and Mill Val
ley to San Francisco, to leave those towns
about 10 o'clock and to arrive in San Fran
cisco al about IL O'Clock.
The petitions are 10 be circulated in
every town on the line of the railroad be-
tween San Rafael and Sausalito and also
on the Mill Valley branch. The petitions
are being prepared and will be put in cir
culation tomorrow.
Wniie the North Pacific Coast Railroad
runs a boat to Marin County, leaving San
Francisco at IL 80 P. NJ, it has never at
tempted to run boat leaving this side
late in the evening except on special oc-
caSions
The most prominent men in Marin
County are putting this petition forward,
and it was not agreed to take action until
the opinions of large number of citizens
in favor of it were obtained. The p-tition
asks that the boat be run at least once q
week, on either Wednesday or Thursday
night
"The summer timetable of the North
Pacific Coast road will be issued in short
time" said one of the leaders in the move
ment in discussing the proposition to-day,
Wednesday nights from San Francisco at
a late hour it would be but trifing ex-
pcnse 10 make an extra trip, leaving the
Marin side at an hour that would allow
peope to visit friends across the bay and
return to their homes in San Francisco
the same evening.
1.-The petition which we will circulate
for signatures tomorrow has The approval
of the improvement club members IN the
various towns and other citizens, among
whom are Sidney B. Cushing, Judge
Thomas Foltreil and Commodore c. II.
Harrison. 1--WE believe the railroad will
grant this request for their summer time
table IS always excellent and the RAINING
of this train will add greatly to the
travel"
Following is the petition that will be
circulated:
J. B. StetSon, President North Pacific Coast
Railroad - DEAR SIR: We, the undersigned
residents and property-owuers living in Nj i'll
Valley and vicinity, appreciating the good
service you have rendered US in the past and
especially during last summer, respectfully
| petition that, if it is poss ibe, you will MAKE e
! en- evening trip to San Francisco, leaving Mill
| Valley somewhere in the neigh borhood of 10
O'clock
If you find 1t is impossible to run more than
| once week we would suggest that the trip be
made on Wednesday or Thursday nights We
| feel that the trip would pay the railroad, be-
sides adding to the social attractions of this

BUDD MAY VETO THEM.
Doubt as to HIS Action on the
Dredger and Restraining
Dam Bills

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 16.-The
ten days limitation on the dredger bill
and the bill enabling the State TO use the
joint Federal and State appropriation of
$500, 900 for the construction of restrain
ing dams will expire tomorrow, and the
Governor will send a message upon his
action with reference to the bills. The
enemies of the dredger bill say tonight
that the Governor will veto it. Assembly
man Gutter says that he will approve 1T
because, he said 10 a CALL reporter to-
night, the Governor was a man of his
word, and the Governor as good as told
him yesterday morning that he was going
TO sign it.
1t is known, however, that the Cover
nor's brother, John e. Budd, is bitterly
opposed to .he measure and has urged
him to place his veto upon it. John
Budd's objections are principally that
there are snags and gravel in the rivers
and that the lightning scoop-dredger will
be rendered almost useless by reason of
these distractions. The dredger worked
we'll enough in the Mississippi River,
argued John Budd, but it wouldn't work
in the Sacramento River.
In the minds of the friends of the bill
the issue lies between the Governors
word and the influence OF the Governors S
brother. If the latter influence shall pre-
vail and the Governor shall veto the bill.
il is believed that the ruInors OF bribery
uhoat at the time of the passage of the
bill will be used in justification OF The
veto. But friends of the measure say that
they have assurances from the executive
that he will sign . bill.
Tne Governor has assured Assembly
man Seward that he will sign the bill
