Take a Trip Over the California
Northwestern Railway and Get
Deer the Next Morning,

This is easy. A few hours ride over this
road will take you right into the deer hunt
ing grounds. Deer never before were so plen-
tiful in Sonoma and Mendocino counties as
they are this year. They have been carefully
protected during the closed season. For the
past two months the ranchers all through
these counties have been commenting on the
great number OF deer that are being seen. The
season in Sonoma County lasts from July t15
until August 81. and in Mendocino County
from July Is until September so. The best
deer hunting in California is to be had in
these counties and they within only a
few hours ride of San Francisco over the
california Northwestern Railway, "the pic
turesque route of California" !"

OAKLAND, July 1T-Under the post
mortem knife a bullet wound that
could not, in the opinion of the autopsy
surgeons, have been self-infiicted, was
disclosed to-day in the brain of the un-
known man whose body, buried under
newly cut tree branches, was found
yesterday afternoon by ]. w Chard of
San Francisco, in a lonely canyon in
the Piedmont hills.
That murder was done is the convic-
tion of the surgeons who made the post
mOrtem examination at the Morgue. To
DR. o. d. Hamlin who had charge of
the autopsy, the location of the wound
and the course of the bullet were con-
vincing evidence that the dead man
did not fire the shot that caused death.
The injury to the brain was such that
the victim could not have moved after
he had been shot. Death was instan-
taneous, say the surgeons.
The revelations of the autopsy,
coupled with the futile search by the
officials for a pistol or other firearm
near the place where the body was
found and the further strange con-
cealment of the corpse under its cover
ing of twigs, tend to convince the in
Vestigating authorities that the un-
identified stranger was killed by an
other than himself. Close examination
discovered a series of scratches extend
ing across the forehead, cheeks and
nose, all running in the same direction.
These looked as if they might have
been inflicted by dragging the body,
face downward, by the legs. Dr. Ham
lin, who studied the scars minutely
declared they could readily have re-
suited from such violence.
The bullet was lodged under the skull
in a line above the left eye. The i'm
pact had caused a bad splintering of
the skull. 1t had entered the head
from the back, just below and back Of
the right ear. The external wound
was so small and so hidden by the
matted hair that it was not discovered
until the surgeons knife had been
used.
NOT A SUICIDE.
Strangely significant to the surgeons
was the absence Of any powder marks
on the skin. The hair had been slight
ly scorched, but not a trace of powder
burn was visible. In discussing this,
the surgeons said they could not be-
lieve the weapon had been held close

SAYS ANOTHER DOCTOR
PERFORMED OPERATION
Peculiar Pleading Only One of Many
in Affidavit Supporting Motion
for NeNy Trial

The peculiar predicament of a man
who, unconscious at the time. did not
know the surgeon that operated upon
him, and has since been sued for fees
by a doctor who did not operate. is set
forth in an interesting affidavit filed
yesterday in support of a motion for a
new trial. The document is also an ad-
mission of an attorneys oversight in
the prosecution of his clients case.
Percy E. Fuller, holding an assigned
claim for $3.50 from DR.. ]. A. Silverman
against David Bernstein, sued the lat
ter for the amount and the case came
to trial on December 10, 1903, but was
continued until April Of this year, when
Fuller got judgment
The affidavit on appeal is made by
Leon Samuels, attorney for Bernstein.
In the first place, Samuels says. he did
not believe the case would be tried on
the date set and he did not prepare for
it. His reason for so believing was
that Silverman was in Alaska and a
deposition obtained from him was sign
ed by notary, A. NJ. Randol, to whom
the court had issued no commission.
For that reason he never examined the
deposition and his objection to it's use
in evidence was sustained at the first
hearing. But in April the Silverman
deposition was admitted in evidence,
and 1t said among other things that
Bernstein had promised to pay the doc
tor well for the operation. Samuels de-
clares he is in possession of a letter
in which Silverman says that he only
assigned a claim for $500. In the way
of other new evidence Samuels adds
that when Bernstein was operated upon
he was unconscious and none of his
relatives was present. 1t was not
learned until later that the operation
In reality was performed by DR.. Henry
Barbat, and that Silverman was only
an assistant.

MAMIE TRAINER TELLS
Or 4 FORGED ORDER
Writes to Coroner Explaining Attempt
Of Undertakers to Get Possession
of Sisters Body.


Coroner Leland received a letter
yesterday from Mamie Trainer at Gil
roy repeating TIE charge that some
one. on behalf Of the United Under
takers, had forged her name to an
order for the body Of her sister. Clara,
who died in this city July Z. The
writer inclOsed copy Of the follow
ing telegram sent by the undertaking
firm 10 GilrOy after Mamie Trainer
had left for this city for the purpose
Of taking charge Of the body:
san Francisco, July Z, 1904. Clara
Trainer dead Wire instructions,
UNITED UNDERWRITERS.
The relatives answered the tele-
gram by requesting the United IN
dertakers 10 take care Of the body
until Miss Mamie Trainer arrived
here. At 4 o'clock the next morning
and then again at O'clock the under
takers telephoned the family at Gil
roy and said they had charge Of the
body and asked for authority to sign
the order for the body. This was re-
fused, the family saying that Mamie.
who had gone 10 this city, would at
tend 70 the matter.
The letter has convinced the Coro-
ner that the order was forged.
