Many Persons Have Been Swept to Death From This
Pier, Which Is Supposed to Be Closed.

TIME treacherous waves that beat
increasingly against the iron pill
lars of Olympic pier, on the ocean
beach below the Cliff House,
claimed another victim yesterday.
George A Wigney, a resident of Ala
media, while lounging about the end of
the long pier, lost his balance and
pitched forward into the sea. When he
came to the surface his arms were
crossed upon his breast and his eyes,
while open. were glazed as in death.
His companions threw him a rope. but
he paid no heed to their cries and ges-
ticulations.
The body floated in an upright posi-
ton, riding the waves buoyantly. The
tide carried it gradually to the north
ward. When near Seal Rocks 1t dis
appeared from the view Of thousands
of spectators who had seen the tragedy
enacted before them. William Nc
Donald, who was one of the little
group at the end of the pier, ran to
the lifeboat station when he saw the
man was beyond the reach of any or
binary assistance. Captain Varney
and his men launched the lifeboat as
rapidly as possible and rowed to the
scene of the accident. Willing hands
pointed out the course taken by the
body, but no trace of it could be
found and the search was abandoned.

LOCKS HERSELF IN A ROOM AND
DEFIES THE POLICE.
The Infuriated Woman Declares That
Her INTENDED Victim Was
Conspiring Against
Her.

Ida Nolan, an attractive young woman
of % years, last night made a desperate
attempt to kill Alfred Rosenthal her
brother-in-law. Thinking that he was try
ing to turn her mother against her the
impulsive young woman fired two shots
at him, neither of which took effect.
The shooting occurred at 1923 Bush
street, where the mother of the young
woman lives. Rosenthal was married to
Miss Nolan's sister, who is now deceased.
Two comely children were the result of
the union Since the death of the wife
Rosenthal has been living with his moth
er-in-law at the Bush street residence.
Recently Miss Nolan, thinking that Ro-
senthal was trying to usurp her place in
the affections of her mother, frequently
declared her intention of killing him.
Shortly after 6 o'clock last evening Ro-
senthal was sitting in the dining room of
his mother-in-law's residence playing with
his two children, when his fair assailant,
who was armed with a 38-caliber Smith &
WeSson revolver, crept from her room,
bent on filling him with lead as she
expressed 1t. Stealthily approaching the
room in which were seated Rosenthal and
his two innocent cildren the infuriated
woman raised her revolver and fired Ro-
senthal jumped out of his chair and closed
the door before his murderous assailant
had a chance to fire another shot Evil

will be among the first named.
1t is stated that w. H. Mills WI ~
the chairman of the board and that
Mark Mcdonald of Santa Rosa and
Ben C. Truman of Los Angeles VIII
represent the two other divisions OF the
State. This news has sent friends OF
Frank Virgins, secretary OF the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, into the
depths of a brown study. At least two
weeks will elapse before the adJutant
general is announced. Should Colonel
George Stone decline, owing to his
contract on the surf line Of the South
ern Pacific the place will go to Colonel
Currier or Colonel Smedberg OF San
Francisco. Major Baugham OF Pasa-
dena is looked upon as the coming as
sistant in the adjutant generals Of

Mitchell will not be retained in the
Whittier Reform School directory: The
new president of the Whittier board
will undoubtedly be DR.. Walter Lind

of such institutions is worldwide. DR..
Lindley first established the school and
later made it model Of its kind. Gov
ernor Gage is known to think very

HE HAS MICROBES.
Gage Says He Suffers From
Sacramento MicrObeS-His
State Appointments.

Los ANGELES, April 14-Sacra-
mento air and water have not worked
wonders for Governor Henry T. Gage.
He has malaria in his system, as
gift for his three months devotion to
duty. The Governors physicians here
have informed him that there is no
telling how soon or when the germs of
the disease will leave his system. This
is the reason why Governor Gage did
not take the Owl train for the north
tonight as had been contemplated and
for which many preparations had been
made. In an interview tonight with
the Governor by telephone at his Dow
ney ranch he said:
II am not feeling we'll and am not
prepared to say when 1 will go to Sac
ramento. l shall do so as soon as pos
sible, for am anxious to dispose Of a
mass Of accumulated official business
l have tried to free myself from the
cares Of state and to prepare myself for
the future labor my office imposes. I
have received thousands of applications
for the offices at my disposal There
are many disappointments in store
Those who have been chosen will be
made known within a short time after
l arrive at the capital. A number Of
offices will not be filed at all at present
The reason for this / decline to state -
The Governor added that he would re-
turn to Los Angeles and participate in
the harbor jubilee celebration, which
opens April rs, and further, that he
would be in Los Angeles tomorrow to
transact private business.
Mrs. Gage and Lucille will not go
north with the Governor, but will re-
main on the Downey ranch until such
time as suitable house for a Gov
ernor's residence can be secured in Sac
ramento. Party leaders here say that
Gage has given orders to have his mail
forwarded to Sacramento and that he
will go direct to San Francisco to con-
fer with those clothed with political
power upon questions of patronage and
similar topics.
1t is stated, and the news comes from
the inner recesses of the push, that the
Governor while in San Francisco will
find out from Colonel Dan Burns how
far he has progressed in his efforts TO
tie up the Republican majority in the
Legislature for a caucus upon the
United States Senatorship. Whenever
Colonel Burns can make proDer show
ing on this subject, it is asserted that
the Governor is prepared to call an ex-
ira session of the Legislature. The i'm
portant appointments will be made by
Governor Gage next week. Three
