Miss Poirier'S Life Will
Be Spared, Say Her
Physicians.
The Man Who Shot Her Is
Dying in His Cell in
ColuSa'S Prison.
Sheriff Jones Places Extra Men on
Guard to Prevent Attempts
at LynchIng.

COLUSA, CAL, Aug. 25.-Florine
Poirier, the young lady who was shot yes
terday afternoon by Pedro Vinelli q
Mexican, is resting easily and the doctors
say there is a good chance of her recovery.
She was removed last night from the
Bridge House to her home, the Colusa
Hotel. after which both of her wounds
were probed. One ball entered the left
side of the breast above the heart, took a
downward course and lodged just above
the left hip. 1he other penetrated the
left thigh and lodged under the spine.
Vinelli still lies in the County Jail ir a
precarious condition. One bullet has been
removed, but no trace of the other has
been found. The probe showed that one
entered the left breast and passed
through the lung. 1t was cut ont OF his
back several inches below the line OF the
point of entrance. He will probably not
live more than few days.
Sheriff Jones, hearing the angry NUT
terings of the crowds on the streets last
night, quietly added several extra guards
at the Jail This was a wise precaution,
for had the young Iady's wounds proved
fatal an attack would have certainly been
mdOe upon lAe pIAsOH'
1t was learned to-day that on May Z
Vinelli approached the girl on the same
bridge where the shooting took place and
was seen to draw a pistol in threatening g
manner. The affair was hush up to
avoid unpleasant notoriety. A few days
ago Vine,n was seen at the cemetery act
ing in a queer manner, throwing sticks
and clods at the trees. He also entered
the yard OF G. w. White and sat in front
Of the house for a halliday.
He LETT before White returned, and when
White went 10 town to have him arrested
he found that Vinelli was working peace
ably. Thinking his actions were the
freaks of a drunken man, he let the mat
ter pass from his mind.
Vinelli, few days prior to the shooting,
stopped in front of the house where Miss
Sabin and her mother live, in Cooper's S
Extension. The young lady was sitting
on the porch, and Pedro stopped, removed
his hat and stood gazing at the girl until
she became frightened and ran into the
house, after which he left.
1t is said that his ex-wife, who now lives
in Sacramento, left him because of his
harsh treatment of her, and is now blind
in one eye, her loss of sight having been
caused by blow from him. The town is
more quiet tonight, and unless the girls
condition changes for the worse, no Vio-
Iapca is faarrd

EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.
Professor Edwards Says They Should
Be Kept From School Until hine
Years Old.

SHASTA RETREAT, CAL, Aug. 25.-
The third days session OF the Northern
California Teachers Convention opened
this morning with lecture by Professor
George c. Edwards of the State University
on mathematics in Primary and Gram
mar Grades" He suggested that children
should not be sent 10 school until they
were eight or nine years of age. The law
permitting children OF six years to attend
school was good for rich society people,
who did not want to be burdened with
the care of their children, and for very
poor parents who worked for their living.
But even the restriction OF such young
children, the speaker said, stunted their
growth, physically and abnormally de-
veloped their minds. which was also in
furious to them. The professor aroused
some adverse expressions of opinion on
this SUBJECT, but he main tanned his posi-
lion with great earnestness.
In tie afternoon Professor Edward
Howard Griggs of Stanford resumed his
talk on History" He is one of the most
versatile and able lecturers present. State
Superintendent Black read a paper on
Graduation OF Primary and Grammar
Schools" He advocated a four years
course in al the high schools Of the State

California tonight lectured tor the second

After the meeting adjourned this after.
noon a large number of the teachers
visited Moss Brae Falls. There are so
many beautiful points OF interest near by
that it is task for some of the pedagogues
to be prompt in their attendance at the
morning sessions. and President Stout
has found it nt ,ssary to admonish them
to attend 10 their d duties first and seek
pleasure afterward. However, they dis
play re markable interest in the proceed
inGs of the convention, sitting in the hall
for six or seven hours a day. and taking
notes of the lectures that the pertinent
points may the more firmly be impressed
upon their minds.

Charles GlaZier of Reno
Shoots the Man Who
Wronged Him.
Pursues Elopers and Overtakes
Them Across the Cali
fOrnia Line.
Breaks Into a House Which Shell
ters Them and Opens Fire
With a Pistol.

RENO, New, Aug. Pa. A. Smith, a
ne er-do-well, eloped with the pretty
young wife of Charles GIazier of Keno on
Monday, the pair taking Glazier's two
children with them. Tonight Smith is
dying across the line in California, having
been pursued and shot by the wronged
husband.
Smith has been attentive to Charles
Glaciers wife for some time and on sew
eral occasions of late there had been alter
cations between the two men. Last week
Glazier warned Smith to keep away from
his residence or he would kill him. Gla-
zier was employed on a farm near by. On
going to his home on Monday night he
found the house vacant. but note on the
bureau informed him that his wife had
taken the two children and fed with
Smith. The irate husband hitched up q
team and drove to his mother-in-law' s
residence, and. joined by the latter,
started in search OF the eloping couple.
Early this morning the ranch OF
Henry Dean, in Long Valley, California,
was reached, and Glazier a.certained that
his wife and Smith were housed there.
Without ceremony he battered down a
door and began search in the several
rooms for Smith. lie found the latter
standing IN doorway, and, drawing his
revolver, opened fred on him. shooting
five times. Three OF the bullets took effect,
one shattering the right wrist, one pene
trating the shoulder and third passing
through the body on the left side between
the hip and ribs. Smith fell at the last
shot.
During the shooting Glaciers mother
in-law effected an entrance TO the room
occupied by the sleeping children, and,
taking them in her arms, carried them TO
the wagon outside.
Without waiting to see the effect of
his shots Glazier made his escape after
the fifth shot ana started for Reno with
his children, arriving there about mid
day. He reported the shooting to the off,
GERS and said he was ready for arrest, but
as the crime was com nitted in California
the officers saiG they had no jurisdiction
and would allow him mis- freedom until
asked to do something by the California
authorities.
1t is learned tonight that Smiths
wounds will probably prove fatal, as he
had to undergo a ride OF ten miles to
reach physician and was very weak
from loss of blood.
Glazier says ne Is perfectly willing that
his wife should remain with Smith, but
that he will protect his children with his
life. The woman is only 19 years old and
her lover is considered one OF the rough
est characters in this section.

Three Robbers Steal the
Clothing From a
Laundry.
Sing kee Roughly Handled by
His Trio of Midnight
Visitors.
but the Thieves Are Now
In Prison.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 25.-The annual
influx of la aborers to Fresno County from
all parts of the State with the opening OF
the grape season has brought with it the
usual contingent of hard characters, who
find opportunities to ply their vocations
when everybody is making few dollars.
Last night three Of this class of men looted
Chinese washhouse at Selma, fifteen
miles south of this city. They were after
ward captured and are now IN the County
Jail charged with burglary.
II was about midnigh; when the gang
proceeded to Selma's limited Chinatown
aud attacked Sing Kee's laundry. They
stationed themselves around the place to
capture the Chinaman should he at
tempt TO escape. Then one of the robbers
threw sack partially filled with coke
through window to get the Mongol out,
badly frightened he rema aimed inside.
Unsuccessful in the attempt to get the
Chinaman out the rascas broke in the
door and forced their way in. Sing Kee
sat covering and speechless with fear. He
would not respond to the robbers demands
for money, and they then began abusing
him. They beat him severely. but these
efforts to force him to give up his money
were of no avail, for the Chinese would
not say word. The trio of robbers then
searched the Mongol and ransacked the
house. Sings household effects and wash
ing outfit afterward looked as though a
cyclone had passed through them.
The robbers found no money, but they
took yerything else they could make use
OF, including almost all the clothing of
customers which the Chinaman had on
hand.
About this time the night watchman of
the town, attracted by the noise made by
the robbers. arrived and the trio fed
Sing Kee managed to tell him what had
happened, and Justice Meracle was
aroused and warrants were issued by him.
This morning the consta bles, who had
been watching the gang before, captured
them. Charges of disturbing the peace
were preferred to hold them, and later
complaints charging burglary were filed
in Justice fuckers court.
Tne prisoners were brought to the Couu-
ty Jail in this city this evening by Con-
stable Spencer and Deputy Deiashmutt,
and they gave the names of John O'Con-
nor, James Murphy and Jack Bates. The
clothing they stole has not yet been re-
covered.
