SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10-News comes
from Ensenada of the tragic death OF
Frank Cook, Norwegian carpenter, who
was well known here and throughout the
lower peninsula as far south as San
Quintin.
In a rocky part of the mining district
Of Santa Catarina in the Rosario section,
two men who were hunting found on a
hill near canyon the body of an indi-
Vidual covered with horrible wounds
which had evidently been made by the
bites OF some carniverous animal On
their return to their homes they immedl-
aNely gave notice to the auxiliary Judge
nearest that point, who went TO the place
Where the body was found, and upon an
investigation OF the surrounding lands a
large cavern was found which was moth
ing less than the ir Of a mountain lion
lnere was every eVlCence that the beast
had attacked the man and after a des-
perate battle had succeeded in killing
him.
Cook had been employed by Harry
Johnson in San QuIntin, from which place
ne set out for the Santa Catarina dis
trict in August last. He had been work
ing since tnen at Santa Catarina, princi-
pally on the group of mines called Julio
Cesar. and had suddenly disappeared
from there. No one knew what had be-
come of him.
After a few days of constant watching
IN front of the cavern hunters killed the
animal. It was giant mountain lion
with splendid skin. Cook was the sec
ond man TO fall by its attacks.

it was supposed that he was suffering
from an attack of the grip combined with
neuralgia and rheumatism. He had been
in falling health, due mainly to close ap-

No apprehension was felt as to his con-
dition until last Thursday morning, when
summoned DR.. Gallwey and other physi-
clans, and while they hoped for the best
they could give no assurance of recovery.
Since Chief Sullivan was stricken Cap

of the office. The announcement Of Chief
Sullivan's demise will be received with
deep sorrow by his hosts of friends and
citizens generally.
1t is predicted that Captain Whitman
will be elected to the position made
vacant by the death Of Chief Sullivan. If
this prediction is verified he will be elect

Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Nov. 10.-There is an in
crease instead Of lessening in the scare
ity Of cars along the Southern Pacific
lines on the Oregon and the Shasta route,
and the lack of adequate rolling stock is
interfering with both the business of the
railroad and of private individuals and
corporations. Cars can only he had in the
most urgent cases for local and way
freight, and the mills and box factories
OF S1Sklyou County, as well as at points
along the line, are greatly interfered with.
1t was thought that the ending of the
labor strike in San Francisco and the
moving of the crops would relieve this
state of affairs, but these incidents ap-
pear to have had little effect in a favor
able way on the situation.
Redd1ng is feeling the freight car scare
ity in many ways. More than $3.50, 900
worth of building is going on in the city.
With the rainy season approaching and
the demand for room increasing, every
small delay is very costly. Work on sew
eral large buildings has been delayed
for weeks for want of supplies which
could not reach here. 1t is now almost i'm
possible to bring lumber from Portland
Offers of premiums even fail to get the
cars. One local lumber yard whose sup
ply comes from Oregon has failed la
mentally in keeping up its stock, and as
a last resort has ordered the lumber
shipped from Portland by water to San
Francisco on the chance that it may be
possible TO obtain cars to bring it here
from San Francisco.
The Bully Hill smelter has had a diff
cult time in shipping its copper ingots to
New Jersey to be refined. At length great
quantities OF coke were>Qrdered from the
East AS fast as it was delivered at Bella

with copper ingots and billed to Jersey
city A train of cars loaded with coke
went north through Redding Saturday.
The coke was loaded in cattle cars and
strips of board were nailed over the ap
ertures along the sides of the cars to
keep 1t from streaming out. Even then
the loss was considerable. Work at the
Sweepstake mine has been DELAYED be-
cause of lack of cars to bring the pipe

Explanation Made Why the Japanese
Marquis Was Reported in
Poor Health

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 1O-Marquis
Itos recent illness in this country caused
much alarm in Japan when first an
nounced there. Some papers did not print
effect.
Japanese advices arriving tonight by
the steamship Victoria state that the Jap
anese Minister at Washington cabled an
explanation of Ito's illness which caused
much satisfaction in Toxic. He said Mar
quis Ito found it necessary to plead ILL
avoid the opportunities of Chicago brok-

chase Japanese bonds. This resulted from
a rumor which preceded him to the effect
that his purpose in visiting America was
to negotiate a large sale of bonds.
