Or. LEACH DIES AT FRESNO.
One of the FIRST Wkite Men TO Settle in
tho Counfy-An Incident of
Pioneer DAYS.

FRESNO, CAL, March 1s.-Dr. Lewis
Leach died in this city this evening at the
age of "A years. Inflammation of the
bowels and general debility were the cause
OF his death. He was confined to his bed
only since last Saturday.
Dr.. Leach was one of the first white men
who came to Fresno County and settled
here. He came overland from the East
with body of adventurous spirits in 1850.
After enduring many privations and elud-
ing band of warring Indians near Tuiare
Lake by a strategy carried out by DR..
Leach they arrived on the San Joaquin
River at Major Lanes store. All the men
except the doctor went up the river and
engaged in placer mining. Dr. Leach was
dissatisfied with tne country and was
about to set out for the East when boy
whose arm had been chopped off by In
dians in the WoodvilIe massacre near
Visalia and who was in pitlable condi-
ton was brought to him for treatment.
In order to save the lads life the doctor
changed his intention OF returning East
and remained saving the boys life.
DR.. Leach took prominent part in the
war with the Indians in the next few
years. When the savages were finally put
down DR.. Leach went into business at old
Fort Miller OH the San Joaquin. When
the county seat was moved from that
place to Fresno he moved with it and en-
gagged in the practice OF his profession
He has always been prominent in county
affairs and enjoyed wide circle Of friends
He leaves q widow and considerable
estate.

Beat and Rob an Italian on
a Railway Track in
Idaho.
They Then Place Their Victim
in an Unconscious State
on the Rails.
He Escapes the Awful Death Inteaded
for Him and Ident fies the
Villains

RATHDRUM, IDAHO. March 18.-Sner IF
Pease returned to-day from Tekoa, having
in charge John Velk and Tony Volk,
arrested by the Marshal of Tekoa on the
charge of robbery alleged to have been
committed near Harrison Friday night.
The crime with which the Volk brothers
are charged is most atrocious one, and if
reports are true murder may be added TO
the charge of robbery. The victim is an
Italian laborer named Dominick Tent.
Tent left Harrison last Friday evening in
company with the Voik brothers. walking
along the railroad track toward his cabin.
about a mile from town. Later in the
night some parties passing that way found
Tenti lying across the rails in an uncon-
scious condition. He was badly injured
about the head, where he had been struck
numerous blows.
The fingers OF both of his hands were
badly frozen. When he was brought TO
later In his cabin he said that the Volk
brothers were the perpetrators of the act;
that they had robbed him OF $50 and laid
him across the rails so that passing train
would run over him and thus cover up
their crime.
Sheriff Pease stated that when he left
Harrison Tent was not expected to sur
vive. At the request OF magistrate the
accused men were taken before their vic
tim and were positively ide ntified by him.
Upon the advice of the attending physi-
clan an ante-morlem statement of the in
jured man was taken.
The Volk brothers, when seen at the
County jail, were non-committal, ass, rt-
ing that they had nothing to say what
ever. They would neither affirm nor
deny tha. they were in any way implicated
in the matter.

is being taken in the project by the peo-
pie, and considerable influence will be
brought to bear upon the railroad people
to secure from them the granting of the
concession.
The originators of the petition claim
that the trip will soon pay the railroad
and increase the population in Marin
County. On the ferry-boats plying be-
tween Sausalito and San francisco the
petition has been circulated and extern
sively signed. 1t will be presented to
President Stetson by committee of
prominent citizens from Marin County
before the North Pacific Coast Railroad
issues its summer timetable, which will
be about the middle of next month.
