LIFELESS BODY is
FOUND ON A FENCE
Mysterious Death Of g. o. Canaziani,
Section Boss on the North
Pacific Coast Railway.

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 31.-Meager details
reached this city tonight of the death
of a section boss employed by the North
Pacific Coast Railway Company, which
occurred near Howards station to-day un-
der mysterious circumstances. The name
of the man was G. o. CanaZiani. He was
found hanging across a rail fence and
had been dead several hours. The north
bound train which connects with the boat
leaving San Francisco at o'clock in the
morning had reached a point about mile
south OF Howards station when one of
the railroad employees perceived the body
of .Canaziani hanging face downward
across a rail fence on the left side of the
road. The train was stopped and backed
up and the remains taken to Howards
station. AS the body was discovered
across the boundary line in Sonoma
County the Coroner was notified at Santa
Rosa and an inquest will be held to-mor-
row.
Though no visible marks of a wound
were to be discovered foul play is sus-
pected for several reasons. The peculiar
position Of the body and the imprObability
of the deceased going so far from human
habitation alone are advanced in support
of such a theory. while quarrels and bick-
erings among the members of Canaziani's S
race in this lonely region along the shores
of Tomales Bay have frequently resulted
in bloodshed and caused feuds of many
years duration.

Letting aid in the erection of a monument
to Charles Stewart Parnell. He sent the
following reply:
No man has a higher appreciation than 1
have for Mr. Parnell's work for Ireland and I
am equally sincere in my belief that a montl-
rnent should be erected. While 1t would not be
possible to erect one which would be in propor-
tion to the obligation, it must be done by Ire
land and the time has not yet arrived. The

quote willing to join Mr.. Redmond for the
same purpose The people of Ireland are rap
idly taking charge of their political affairs and
bringing about the condition which will alone
secure full justice being done to Mr.. Parnell's
memory. I believe that the time is near at
hand when most of the Irish leaders of the
past few years will have to go into retirement
and make room for men who viii again re-
unite the Irish people. When that is done I
will certainly do all in my power to carry out
the purpose now proposed and which 1 believe
