 Laudanunn.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BEDDING. Jan. 20.-While on her way home from school late this after noon Mary Christensen was shot twice by Sam Shields, a lover whose infatu- ation was not reciprocated. She had reached the alley between Court and Oregon streets, on the West Side, when she was met by Shields. who said:
 ''Mollie. I am going to kill you"
 The girl attempted to ward off the pistol, while pleading: 70, don't do that; for Gods sake, don't do that"
 Without needing her entreaties, the wretch fired point blank in her face, the ball cutting an ugly gash in her cheek.
 With blood streaming over her clothes the girl fled toward her home, screaming: T am shot. O, I am killed"
 Her murderous assailant then ran up behind her and fired again, the ball striking her in the left shoulder and coming out above the breast. This shot set her clothing afire. The third shot did not take effect.
 James N. Logan Jr., District Attor- ney Rose, John E. Reynolds and Night Watchman Johnson ran to her assist ance and disarmed her assailant:
 The young woman is staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James N. Logan Jr., whither she was carried. Her wounds are not dangerous. Shields was locked up in the County Jail. He at tempted suicide by taking laudanum but succeeded in swallowing only a few drops. He is a shoemaker by trade, in the employ of w. P. Buck, and is a man of about 35 or 40 years of age. Miss Christensen is a daughter of Colin Christensen, an expert accountant of Gas Point. Shields first became ac- quainted with the young woman in that section.
 James N. Logan Jr. says that Miss Christensen complained of Shields at tentions and he ordered him off the premises. It was feared that Shields might attempt something desperate and Marshal Eckels was warned. Lo- gan also spoke to Shields employer but he considered him a harmless fel- low. Several months ago Shields wrote an anonymous letter to the girls mother. making slanderous accusa- tions. The mother forwarded the let ter to her daughter, who is 16 years of age and one of the brightest pupils in the public schools of Bedding. A few days since she carried off a s10 prize for making the most changes in the sentence 'Homeward the plowman plods his weary way" in "Gray's Ele- gy."
 Had the young girl been fatally wounded her slayer would not have lived till morning, and as it is, threats of lynching are freely and openly made in all quarters of town. Shields is fearful that he may be lynched. He submitted to interviews, but could not be prevailed upon to tell why he had shot the girl.

has the audacity to endeavor to either mulct the people of close on to $2,000, 900 or to force a renewal of its lease and continuation of the present water service, which is disgrace to the city"
 Councilman Edward L. Hutchinson, in discussing the matter, said: Con sidering the fact that almost every residence in this city is built of wood, that all the school buildings but two are huge wooden structures, that many of the so-called business blocks are of wood, that most of the flats and tene- ments of the city are of wood and that many of the buildings wherein great crowds assemble for purposes oS amusement are of wood, and the ad- ditional and appalling fact that most of the water mains are of two-inch pipe, making the facilities for coping with conf1agrations absolutely inadequate, it Is almost miraculous the fire demon has not already wiped us from the face of the earth. It is fortunate for the hundreds of pupils who escaped death at Pico Heights to-day that the teach CTS of this city have long recognized the supreme danger and have frequent ly drilled the children systematically for just such emergencies. If the city water company and the syndicated sy-. cophants of the press manage to con- trol the water supply of this city much longer a special fire drill' should be ar ranged for the grown people who con- gregate in buildings where there is hardly enough water to drink, to say nothing of extinguishing confagra- tions'
 By the way, what has become of nearly all the huge wooden hotels that ornamented this city a few years ago? Wood-built cities that are careless of water vanish sooner or later. Our buildings are as dry as powder houses and almost as inflammable When a holocaust occurs here, as it surely will occur, should not like to answer forthe City Water Company, for it's syndicate press nor for those who aid and abet them in their nefarious schemes to keep this fair and f1ourishing city from hav- ing one of the finest and most econom- ical and efficient water systems in the world

Special Dispatch to The Call.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 20.-In the Su- perior Court at this place this morning Judge Buck pronounced the death sen tence upon Harry Winters, one of the murderers of c. A. Andrews. Before court convened the entire seating ca pacity of the courtroom was full to over- flowing, even to the jury box, and stand ing room was at a premium.
 At 10 o'clock Sheriff Mansfield brought the prisoner handcuffed to the courtroom He looked pale and worried, but kept composed during the trying ordeal of the passing of the death sentence.
 Attorney Nagle asked the Court to de- fer passage of sentence for a month in order to allow him to move for new trial This the Court refused to do. Nagle then made his motion for a new trial on the statutory grounds and also moved an arrest of Judgment. The Court refused both motions.
 Winters was then told to stand up. and was asked if he had anything to say why the sentence of the court should not be passed upon him. He had nothing to say, contrary to the expectations of all present in the courtroom. The Judge then sentenced him to be hanged by the neck until dead, and the time for carry ing out the sentence was fixed for April s next.

LNWARDKESS OF THE GREAT CONSPIRACY 70
 FLEECE THE PEOPLE.
Powerful Combine to Dispose Of compara- fveiy Worthless Wuter Plant and
 Control City Politics.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.-Each new disclosure made in connection with the issues that have grown out of the School Board scandals shows clearly that a powerful and interruptions ring has been endeavoring for more than a ye ar past to secure control of the gov ernment of the city of Los Angeles.
 Back of all the peculiar manipulation that has been going on is the powerful corporation which is now seeking to unload upon the people of Los Angeles a rust-eaten and otherwise worthless water plant at nearly three times it's actual value, namely, the Los Angeles City Water Company. Its plan of op- eration has been shrewd and subtle. It has also had as able allies the Los Angeles Lighting Company. the Los Angeles Electric Company and the Los Angeles Electric Railway Company.
 Realizing the importance of securing the support of or gagging the local press their first efforts were put forth in this direction. The Herald and Ex- press were brought under the domina- tion of these corporations by direct pur- chase of an interest in them. From all that can be learned the money for this investment was provided by the Los Angeles City Water Company. Just how the support of the Times in behalf of these corporations and the objects which they are seeking to accomplish was obtained is not definitely known, but numberless residents do not hesi- tate to fix the price for which the influ- ence of the Times was purchased. The figures vary from the price of small advertisement to a respectable sum in cash.
 With the three papers mentioned thus virtually forced to talk with the tongue of the Los Angeles Water Company and it's allied cvorporations, the next step in the great conspiracy to rob the peo- pie of Los Angeles of their money and their rights as free-born citizens was easily taken. This was the formation of an organization dubbed the League for Better City Government, c. D. Will lard being used to make the prelimin- ary arrangements This organization, while being coddled and nursed by the Times Herald Express syndicate into vigorous life as an ostensible purifier of local politics, was simply laying the ground work for capturing the city

THE MODERN CAIN AND HIS VICTIM.

urday. The officers claim to have suf- ficient evidence to convict George Clark of the murder of his brother.
 NAPA, Jan. 2O.-George Willard Clark, who was arrested at St. Helena this morning for the murder of his brother, William Anderson Clark, was brought down to the county jail this afternoon by Sheriff Mckenzie He was seen this afternoon and said:
 ''I have lived fin California for about eleven years. I have been in Napa County for over six years. 1 have been a Christian for more than five years, having first joined the Methodist church, then the Salvation Army. Later I reunited with the Methodist church, but now I belong to the Seventh-day Adventists. AS God is my witness, this is the first crime of which have ever been accused. I protest my innocence and shall fight the case to the last Would I murder my brother? Never have my suspicion as to the murderer but I will not divulge 1t. I am 37 years of age and was born in Ohio. Last night I retired to bed between and 10 o'clock, after attending prayer-meet- ing. I room at pr. Osbornes in St Helena, and have roomed there since my brother and I had a falling out, some time ago. The only thing I know is that early this morning, between 6 and ' o'clock, City Marshal Johnson called at my rooms and stated that he wanted me. I was surprised, but sur rendered readily. I was taken to the local jail and there was visited by three Christian friends before noon. These friends expressed their belief in my in- nocence and will contribute their aid to my defense. God will see me through in this matter"
 Were you near your brothers resi- dence last night?" was asked.
 NO, was not" he replied.
 How about the footprints that cor respond with yours?"
 'I know nothing about them. I am innocent"
 How about the attempted poisoning of your brother on two different occa- sions last month? Do you know any thing about it?"
 'I did not do 1t, as God knows. I told you had had suspicious against a cer- tain person. I have told the officers whom I suspect. I shall be proven in nocent at my trial. My brother also suspected another"
 Were there ever rumors that you were unduly intimate with your brothers wife?"
 Such rumors are false. They are monstrous. My brother and. l had trouble and I left his house, but not over differences of that sort. Nothing of such horrible character ever oc- cured"
 The prevailing opinion at St. Helena is that George Clark is the guilty man. He is of dark complexion, medium stature and has a dark mustache. He looked The Call representative square in the face as he remarked: II am both sorry and glad over this tragic affair. I am sorry my brother has been murdered and am glad that l am in- nocent." He was particularly inquisi- tive about the appearance of his brother after death, and when told was very much affected. He seems little detected behind the bars of the County Jail and appears to trust in the Lord.
