ELEVATOR ACCIDENT.
W. Fl. Wiggins of the Appraisers
 Building Mangled.

| W. H. Wiggins, the man in charge of | the elevator in the Appraisers building, was seriously injured yesterday morning by the sudden starting of the cage. He was caught between the floor of the cage
 and the top of the door frame and sus-
 tained a compound fracture of the right thigh. Then he fell out of the cage into the bottom of the pit, a distance of about twenty feet.
 Besides the fractured leg the unfortu-
 nate man was badly bruised about the body and cut on the head
 But for the presence of mind and the
 prompt action of J. w. Hamilton the engineer, Wfggins would have been crushed to death against the door frame.
 MT. Wiggins got to the elevator at SIPS the usual examination of the working parts within the cage He found some grit or sand in the quadrant, or slot, in which the hand lever was moved to and ITO to start and to stop the cage, and went into the basement for a handful of waste with which to wipe the slot. Engineer Hamilton proceeded to the cage for the purpose of making an eXamina. tion on his own account. Wiggins, in explaining the matter, stood with one foot in the cage and one foot outside with his hand on the lever, moving ii gently to and fro without, however, start ing the cage. Suddenly his right foot backward and starting the cage upward at full force. Wiggins was sitting strad- ding the outer edge of the floor of the elevator with his left leg handing down in the open doorway at the time he was caught. Hamilton, who was in the ele- Vator, at once threw back the lever and reversed the motion, but too late to pre- vent the accident. As the machine start- ed to descend, Wiggins fell out and down into the pit.
 The injured man was taken to the Har- Dor Emergency Hospital, where the frac- ture was reduced by Drs. Hill and Dig gins. He was then at his own request sent in the ambulance to St. Luke's Hos- pital. The injured man has a wife and two children depending upon him for SUD- port. His salary as elevator attendant was $50 per month, and he had been hold- Ing the position for only a few months. His father is assistant engineer on the steamer San Rafael

KLAMATH COMPANY
 MUST VACATE A Restraining Injunction Has Been Issued in the Cir-
 cult Court. An Interesting Case Involving the Possession of 8 Lumber
 Plant.

An injunction was issued Friday morn ing by Judge Morrow in the Circuit Court
 prohibiting the Klamath River Lumber Company from holding possession of saw mills and other property on the Klamath
 River which have been leased by the Pokegama Sugar Pine Lumber Company.
 The case is an interesting one owing to the excitement created by the seizure of the mills and property last month. The plant was originally owned by the Kla- math Company, of which J. s. Scott is president. The original owners were un- able to make the venture pay, and on March 30, 1897, the whole plant was leased for a term of years by Hervey Lindley at a yearly rental of $1, with privileges of extending the time of the lease, Lindley to pay the Klamath Company a percent age of the profits accruing, if any.
 Things went along smoothly for a time and Lindley began to make money out of the venture. In September 1897, he or ganiZed the Pokegama Company and sold the lease to 1t tor good round sum. The new company invested about 900 in the plant cut great quantity of lum- mills when a new company, which is said to be identical with the box pool, appeared on the scene and offered to buy the plant. The figures they offered were considered too low, and the Pokegama Company refused to sell. The new buy CTS then approached the old Klamath 1OHpdIS anu OlIelSo lO puIClldSc lIS plant outright, but would not offer fig ure large enough to satisfy the holders of the lease. The representatives of the Klamath Company then decided to force the sale, and accordingly appeared at the mill one night last month and drove the watchman from the premises with shot gun. President Cook took possession of the office al the works, stationed an armed guard outside and brought the business to a standstill intending to hold the fort until the lessees would be obliged to sell out for whatever they could get. The Pokegama Company then secured the services of Attorney E. s. Pillsbury, who at once sued for an injunction restraining the Klamath Company from forcbly hold ing the property The suit was hurried into the Circuit Court. as delay meant ruin owing to the rapid passing. of the was issued As the defendants are insol- vent no suit for damages will ensue.

E. J. CRoLY, the Victim Of Burglars Bullet

Jail, and now occupies the old cell Of Mortimer the murderer.
 The Chief of Police says there can be no doubt that the right men have been captured. He also says they are the same men who have committed other rObberies and burglaries in the city within the past few days. This is not the first time Jim Searight has been in jail in Sacramento. In fact, he has been locked up several times for petty thefts and on suspicion of having com mitted burglaries. There is a warrant on file now against him for having burglarized a store at Twentieth and M streets a few years ago. He came from a highly respected family. At one time his father was a prominent merchant in San Francisco. Meeting with financial reverses the father came to Sacramento and worked for a num- Der of years as clerk in a department store. Mrs. Searight died a couple of years ago in San Francisco while her son was in jail here for some petty offense. The officers turned him loose at that time to let him so and attend the funeral On the way to San Fran cisco he stopped at Suisun or Dixon and committed a burglary

Sandwich of the high school and the city school trustees, and procured from them the promise of the use of the high and primary school buildings, and from the Pacific Improve ment Company and the hotels very ad. vantageous terms for boarding accommo- dations for those who will attend the school. Indeed the proposition was re- ceived by all concerned with so much en- thusiasm that Professor Cox declares there is nothing to stand in the way of the school being removed here for this term and, perhaps, permanently.
 This summer school is entirely distinct from that. conducted yearly at the Hop- kinS Seaside Laboratory at this place, and is carried on for the convenience of teachers rather than pupils. It has from twelve to fifteen departments, each of which is presided over by Stanford Uni- versity instructor, and the school is, therefore, of great importance to teachers from all sections of California and other States. From three to four hundred per- sons attend the eight weeks session Of the school. The school will open June 6.

PACIFIC GROVE, March 2D.-The Stan ford University Summer School is to be removed from the university and this year will hold it's sessions in Pacific Grove. Owing to the recent decision of Mrs. Stanford, that the summer school should no longer be conducted at the university, it was feared the eight weeks of teachers work would have to be abandoned, but the question was considered by a com mittee appointed for the purpose, and the decision reached that if accommodations could' be secured the school would be re- moved to Pacific Grove.

FELL FROM A
 THIRD STORY Awful Plunge of Two LabOrerS Near
 Salinas.
Hurled to the Earth by the Breaking of a Large
 Plank.
Accident at the New Sugar Factory That Neither Man Is Likely
 to Survive.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS, March 21. As Garrett men employed at the sugar factory, were engaged this afternoon in hoist ing large plank to the third story it broke. The plank was to have been used in making a platform for one of the immense sugar pans and had been landed on the girders with the men seated on either end.
 Hope arose and walked on the plank to release the hoisting hook when the plank broke in the center. He seized hold of a rope and was rapidly lowered to the ground. He saruck an iron beam on the way down, which cut his face open. The palms of his hands were burned and rib broken close to the cartilage. His injuries are likely to prove fatal.
 Bullene was thrown forward from his end of the plank. He fell between the girders and in his descent struck against a concrete pier, tearing his nose half off and laying his left cheek wide open. Continuing in his fall head first, he struck the ground fifty-two feet from the girders that held the plank, striking on a small, sharp-pointed rock, which made triangular cut in the cen-
  unconscious. Bullene was found to have sustained concussion of the brain and severe internal injuries, which it is feared will prove fatal before morn ing. He is married and has wife and child
 No blame is attached to any one, it having been found upon investigation that the plank, which had been used for some time past, had what is known as a blind knot in the center If sound it would have been strong enough to support twenty men.

MOPOScO'S

Oliver Byron's '"The Upper Hand" thanks to the loyal support of the gallery. scored, from the point of generous ap- plause, most decided success at Moros- co.'s last evening. 'The Upper Hand" is in every sense of the word melodrama, in which the old reliable components of love, hatred and revenge are compounded in the old reliable manner. It has been played here before. Its story was told in an earlier issue. It is just the sort of play that goes at Morosco's, and last nights audience played the usual big part in the enthusiasm of the production. They like their plays on the old, old scheme at Morosco's, where the hero is entirely right and the villain wholly wrong.
 Frederick Tjader, as Ike Beetam. was fairly amusing, and La Petite Lund. one of those infant prodigies who have af- ficted the. stage for many moons. quite captured the audience. The company gave the usual positive performance of the usual parts.
