HAD A SHOT ACROSS BOWS
American Vessel Under British COlOrS
OVerhauled by SpaniardS.
Captain Lowry Of Bark Nellie Brett Has Uneasy
Half HOur-The Spanish Vessel Sunk
Later by Americans.

The bark Nellie Brett, from
New York, fears for the safety of
which vessel have been lately ex-
pressed in local shipping circles,
owing to her lengthy voyage, ar
rived in port on Tuesday, Oct. IL,
says the Auckland Herald. The
voyage of the vessel has been
somewhat out of the ordinary run,
as besides having to encounter ca.
tremely bad weather, the preva-
lence of war between the United
States and Spain had to be taken
into consideration, owing to the
fact that the Nellie Brett was an
American built vessel, and shows
her nationality in every line. Be-
fore leaving New York for Auck-
land, the bark was placed under
the British flag, and her crew
were shipped under British arti-
cles. Captain f. b. Lowrey was
The only American on board, and,
as when he left New York, the
war between the two nations was
in full swing, he was naturally
somewhat anxious as to how mat
ters would eventuate, should he
be overhauled by a Spanish
cruiser.
All went well until June Is, the
vessel being then % days out, ard
in latitude 2755, n, longitude
Hal W. The vessel was lying
becalmed, when the smoke of a
steamer was discerned 10 distance.
There were two large English and
one French vessel in view, all with
their ensigns flying, which was a
matter that Captain Lowry did
not understand at the time.
The steamer which was bound
away to the eastward, suddenly
altered her course, and made in
the direction of the Nellie Brett,
and coming up in close proximity,
hoisted a signal which Captain
Lowry could not make out, al
though he was watching very
closely, No notice being taken Of
the signal from the steamer by
those on board of the barque, the
former sheered closer, and fred a
gun across the barqus's bow, at
the same time running up the
Spanish flag. That" said Cap.
tain Lowry, decided me as to the
course l had to pursue, and al
once ordered the ensign to be
hoisted. l sfterward found out
that the signal was, show your
ensign"
A boat was then lowered from
the steamer, and went alongside

MORSE BROTHERS
DECLINE TO ACT
Not Willing to Cause
Arrests.
CITIZENS NOW WILL MOVE
DETERMINED TO AvENGE AGED
MRS. MORSE.
CITIZENS NOW WILL MOVE
Her Sons Having Refused to Form
ally Accuse the Suspects, the
Townspeople Will Appeal
to Governor Budd.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


POINT ARENA, Aug. 31.-The muir
der of aged Mrs. Morse is to, go I'M
avenged so far as her relations are
concerned. For want of evidence the
sons Of the dead woman have decided
not to cause the arrest of suspected
persons. The detective who has been
here for some time vainly striving to
complete the chain Of circumstantial
evidence will leave tomorrow for San
Francisco. He has made lengthy re-
port to the Morse brothers, and, while
he does not state positively who in his
opinion committed the crime, recon-
mends that suspected persons be placed
under strict surveillance.
Now that the investigation has been
abandoned leading residents of this
town intend to take the case into their
own hands and endeavor to land the
criminals in Jail. In a few days COM
mittee will be appointed to wait on
Governor Budd and request him to Of
fer a reward for the apprehension of
the persons who were instrumental in
causing the death Of Mrs. Morse. After
this is done the same committee will
appear before the Supervisors of this
county and ask them to add $500 to the
reward offered by the State.
I'VE do not intend to brook any fool
ishness," remarked one of the leading
spirits in the movement to-day. Jus
tice has been outraged and we demand
immediate reparation. The evidence
thus far obtained seems to me to be
sufficient to cause the arrest Of the
parties under suspicion. 1t has been
apparent to me since the investigation
was begun that there was a determined
attempt on the part of some Of the rel
atives of the murdered woman to shield
the guilty parties. Had we taken hold
of the case instead of relying on those
who are directly interested the Grim
inals would now be in Jail awaiting
trial for the horrible murder"
Both of the Morse brothers will
shortly sell their interests here and go
to- San Francisco, where they intend to
locate.
I'VE have done everything in our
power to locate the murderer or muir
derers of mother" remarked LIE Grand
Morse this evening, but our efforts
have gone for naught. It is true that
we have found bits of circumstantial
evidence but not enough to warrant
us to cause the arrest of the suspected
parties. / am bitterly opposed to hav-
ing any. one arrested on such a serious
charge unless the proof is positive. AS
the evidence is wholly lacking in this
case I have decided not to proceed
criminal1v against the suspected par
ties, but hope that some day they viii
be made to suffer for the foul murder
of my dear mother.

ELOPEMENT ENDS
IN A PRISON CELL
Fifteen-Year-old Los Angeles Girl
Arrested by San Jose
Police

SAN JOSE, Aug. S.-Ella Hoffman,
fifteen-year- girl, is being held here at
the police station pending the arrival OF
ner. mother from Los Angeles. The story
In connection with the girls arrest is a
romantic one. Until a couple of months
ago she was an obedient daughter and
resided with her widowed mother, Mrs.
Alice Hoffman, dressmaker at 139 North
Olive street, Los Angeles About that
time she became acquainted with Charles
Murdoch, young hack driver. The young
people fell in love with each other, and
when a month ago, Murdoch told the girl
he was coming north to live in San Jose
she said she would come, too. Plans for
an elopement were made, but Mrs. Hoff
man learned of and frustrated them
Murdoch, who is just of age, finally
started for San Jose in q buggy. The
parting with the girl was a sad one. in the
presence of the girls mother, who was
led to believe the young couple had part
ed for good. But the. lovers had re-
start alone in the buggy, and the girl was
to join him at Ventura Consequently in
a day or two Ella sold a gold ring she had
and bought ticket for Ventura; There
by team to this city. Mater Hoffman sur
missed that. her daughter was up this way
and telegraphed to have her arrested,
Murdoch and the girl engaged lodgings
at the ST Charles Hotel on their arrival,
and there the police found them. The
girls mother is expected to arrive from
Los Angeles in day or two to take her
home.
Ella Hoffman is small for her age, and
does not look to be over Is years of age.
She is bright and rather good looking.
The girl is deeply infatuated with Muir
dock, and even behind prison bars is set
in her determination to marry her lover.
Murdoch is now employed in an orchard
near here He has not called to see her
since the arrest

FIREMAN SMITH PERIsHES
ENGINEER HANSON BELIEVED
TO BE DYING.
Accident Due to the System of Rigid
Economy Practiced by the
Southern Pacific
Company.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

.REDDING, Aug. 31-The worst
wreck of a series of six bad smash-u ups
on the Shasta division of the Southern
Pacific Company occurred at 11:20
o'clock to-day at the Blue CUT about
sixty miles north of this city,
A special through freight from Port
land, known as ...'the cannon ball spec
1al, was making the usual time down
sacramento. Canyon when the engine
left the rails at a curve and plunged
down the embankment into the river.
Fireman Smith. a resident of Sacra-
mento, was instantly killed. Engineer
George Hanson, also of Sacramento,
was so badly injured that it is believed
he cannot survive. The train was in
charge of Conductor Terrill of Sacra-
mento. He and the rest of the crew
escaped injury ~
The place where the accident &C.
Cured is near the mouth of tunnel
between Sims station and Chromite
siding. 1t has not heretofore been re-
garded as a dangerous point, and rail-
road men are at a loss to account for
the accident, except by the spreading
of the rails. =.
Besides the engine seven loaded
freight cars left the rails, two of them
plunglng over the embankment and
crashing in on top of the wrecked loco
motive. Wrecking crews from Duns-
muir are now at work clearing the
debris, but traffic will be delayed some
time.
Coroner Earnest left for the scene of
the wreck on special north bound
freight late this afternoon An inquest
will. be held on the remains of the dead
fireman, and the wounded engineer will
be taken to the railroad hospital at
once if he can stand the journey.
This makes the sixth or seventh
smash-up on the Shasta route between
this city and Dunsmuir in the last few
months, and each wreck was due to the
system of rigid economy practiced by
the company. The route through Sac
ramento Canyon is a series of curves.
In repairing the track it is the custom
to change the rails from one side to
the other and to turn the cross ties bot
tom side up, using them as long as they
will hold a spike. When the heavy en-
CINE with a loaded train strikes a curve
there is a terrible strain on the ties,
and if there is a weak spot the engine
leaves the track, the train piling up be-
hind.
