.LUNATIC KILLS
FORMER SHERIFF
Fugitive From Asylum
Has Revenge for Fan
cied Wrong.
Man Who Once Arrested Him
in Oregon Shot at
Guerneville.

SANTA ROSA, Sept. S.-A. ]. McKin-
non, former Sheriff of Washington Coun-
ty, Or, was shot and instantly killed this
morning at Guerneville, twenty miles
northwest of here, by an escaped lunatic
from the Ukiah asylum, named Jerraud.
McKinnon came here two or three years
ago, after having resigned his office in
Oregon, and purchased a ranch not far
from town. 1t seems that while Sher-
III he was once compelled to take Jer-
raud to an asylum in Oregon and for that
the latter cherished resentment
As McKinnon and Jacob Joos, the lat
ter a well known business man of this
place and Guerneville, were sitting to-
gether on Joost's porch Jerraud came
along, pulled a pistol and fired without
warning. His aim was perfect and Nc
kinnon toppled over dead.
McKfnnon's death is deeply regretted,
as he had made many friends since TAX
ing up his residence in this county. Jer-
raud escaped, but officers are on his trail
He got away from the Ukiah asylum two
months ago

MAYOR GUSTS
COL. GRIFFITH
Los Angeles Capitalist
No Longer Park Com
missioner.
Accused Arraigned and Court
Will Await Wife's
. Recovery.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. s.-ColoneI Grif-
fifth ]. Griffith failed to send to Mayor
Snyder to-day his resignation as a mem
Der of the Board of Park Commissioners
and in conformity with the announcement
made yesterday the Mayor issued an Of
fetal statement Of his removal from that
office
Under the provisions Of the city charter
the Mayor has the power to remove a
Commissioners with the approval Of the
City Council, and there is little doubt
but that body will approve his action.
A successor to Griffith has been decided
upon, but until it is known that he will
accept official announcement Of his ap-
pointment will not be made. 1t is con-
sidered probable that Colonel Griffith will
take no steps to prevent the City COun-
ell from approving the Mayors action,
but that he will pay no attention to the
matter
The case against Griffith on the charge
of attempting to murder his wife was
called in the Police Court to-day. Grif-
fifth appeared in court, accompanied by
his son. After he had been formally ar
raigned the attorneys agreed upon Oc-
tober as the date for the examination.
The agreement was reached that If Mrs.
Griffith is unable to be present on that
date the time will be extended.
Mrs. Griffith is slowly recovering from
the effect of her injuries. The danger
point is not yet passed, but with con-
tinuation of the present favorable condi-
ton her ultimate recovery will be only
a matter of weeks. 1t was announced to-
day by her physicians that she proba-
bly, will not be able TO leave the hospital
in less than a month.

TROOPS WERE TARDY.

According TO programme, there should
have been two companies of the First
Regiment of the National Guard to follow
the police and act as escort but they
came to the rendezvous as the process
sion was well under way. To make up
for lost time the command Double
quick was given and after a lively run
down Mason street they got into posi-
ton before the head Of the line reached
Market street. and it was a run that
brought out the perspiration and gave
the boys in blue an object lesson that will
no doubt serve them in future when they
agree TO serve as escort to a civic body.
The military escort consisted of Com
panies A and G. commanded by Captains
Ballinger and Wall, respectively. and then
followed the grand marshal with Harry
I. MulcreVey, his chief of staff, and
mounted aids Then came the different
parlors, some in uniform. others in citi-
zens' dress, but all enthusiastic and keep
ing step to the music of two bands hired
for escort duty and the rataplan of 100
drums, each drummer trying to get as
much noise out of his sheepskin as there
was in it,
The parlors which made the most at
tractive display were Stanford, with its
immense banner: Bay City, the members
of which carried golden hued flags with
the name of the parlor printed thereon;
Alcalde, with its fancily dressed drill
corps; Army and Navy. in khaki uni
forms: Marshall Parlor, in miners suits:

shaded themselves from the rays of the

MAYOR sCHMITz WALKS.

Mayor Schmitz who had been selected
as an aid to the grand marshal, evidently
had an objection to horseback riding for
he marched with the parlor in which he
holds his membership.
The streets along the line of march were
crowded with people who Justify cheered
as the boys moved along and spoke words
of encouragement to many ~who did not
reconcile corns with uneven pavements.
Bombs and red fire added to the dis
play and when the marchers reached the
Townsend-street depot there was rush
for the train in order to secure seats. As
the Natives were passing through the
gates they were cheered by their friends.
who reminded them that they would see
them in San Jose in the morning
The following was the order of the pro-

Then came a long line Of Native Sons,
in which was Olympus Parlor and drum
corps, California Parlor and drum corps,
Alcatraz Parlor and others. Red fire
was burned and Roman candles were dis
charged. The people along the line
cheered the natives and these responded
number Of the visitors carried cowbells
and horns.
During the parade a perfect pandemo-
mum reigned and the streets were so
crowded that it was with difficulty that
the parade moved. The line of march
was up First street to San Antonio and
back
At 1870 the Twin Peaks Parlor arrived
and with it's fife and drum corps paraded
the streets. Many of the parlors that
came on the later trains went straight to
their headquarters. After the parlors
reached their headquarters the members
disbanded and started out to look for
friends. Every hotel in town is crowded
with Natives. The headquarters of the
local parlors in Native Sons Hall was
visited by hundreds. Never before have
San Jose streets shown such life at night
At midnight the whole town was filled
with jollification, and shouts and songs
of the parading Native Sons showed that
a merry birthday anniversary was in
store for the Golden State.

the streets vari-colored streamers of ban
ners have been strung and in each block
there are large bear and American flags.
From each Of the large buildings flies a
flag and nearly every business house has
its front bright with bunting. Electric
lights have recently been put in place
along the principal streets. Never was
the town more prettily decorated. But
this exterior show is not all 10 for the citi-

do not propose that this time there shall
be any lack of hOsDitaIity
