of money for the company, and is said
to have made away with 800 collected

the money.
The young man has not been seen

found in his desk at the office the fol-
lowing note addressed to a friend:

it is better for me to go in the woods
and shoot myself, and l will do it,

family. Do anything with my stuff

the other islands if he has not. as he
threatened, taken his life with his own

NAPA, March 15.-Five hundred cat
tie were recently shipped from Mon

At the time the cattle were unloaded
nine of them were killed by a passing
train and one heifer was left at a near
by ranch in payment of damages by
the stockmen. DR.. Kenon found the
hides of the dead cattle sand this
heifer to be infected with the Texas
fever tick. DR.. Charles H. Blemer, the
State Veterinary Surgeon, was commu-
nicated with and arrived in Napa this

MORMONS SEEK

GentileS Are Alarmed at the
Activity Displayed by the
Missionaries From Utah
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March 15.-Efforts to es-
tablish Mormon church at La Grande
and Pendleton, Or, are being offset by
a series of vigorous revival meetings
now being held there by Evangelist s.
Nj. Martin of st. Louis. Meetings are
being held in the Christian church and
nearly 200 converts have been secured
at Pendleton alone. The Protestant
churches are working together to coun-
teract the Mormon movement. The
Mormons are pushing the work at La
Grande on the finest tabernacle yet
constructed in the Northwest. 1t will
cost $4,000 including a fine pipe organ.
over a hundred men are at work, a
large number of whom are Mormons,
who contribute their work without pay.
Another tabernacle is proposed for
Pendleton and several are to be con-
structed in Idaho, where the Mormons
have already gained a strong foothold
Evangelical church circles are becom-
ing somewhat alarmed over the vigor
of the Mormon movement throughout
the Northwest. Churches have been
established in Puget Sound cities, in
Guiding Tacoma, and a number of
priests and exhorters secure new con-
verts weekly. Polygamy is not openly
advocated by Mormon adherents in the
Northwest.

TRAIN PASSES OVER

From a Disaster Near
ReddiDg.

REDDING, March 15.-As the Ore
gon Express, due at San Francisco
this morning, was running at the rate
of forty-five miles an hour past point
thirteen miles south of here at mid
night the engineer and fireman both
saw that they were bearing down upon
a washout, three rail lengths being
without ties. The unsupported rails
were not seen until the pilot was al
most upon them. The engine crew
applied the brakes and waited for the
catastrophe they felt sure would hap
pen. Wonderfully enough the entire
train, with the exception of the last
Pullman, passed successfully over the
washed out stretch of track before the
train could be brought to a stop. The
last car stopped on the unsupported
rail and toppled over. No one was
hurt. The passengers in the derailed
car were transferred to other cars and
the train proceeded.

Fertile Dairy Section Inun-

EUREKA. March 15.-The present
storm is the severest that has visited
humboldt County for years and shows
no sign Of abatement. 1t has been rain
ing necessarily since the I'd of Feb
ruary. during which month there was
a precipitation Of over 16 inches. In
the Eel River Valley, the dairy section
and the most fertile part Of the county.
the loss has been particularly severe.
A great many acres Of these rich bot
tom lands are covered with sediment,
rendering them valueless for the pur-
poses for which they have been used.
Many of the dairymen have sold their
herds and viii engage IN other occu-
pstions- Eel River has also cut away
much valuable land. the Pleasant Point
section being badly affected.

The san Francisco and Northwest

be a week before the road is open to
traffic between this city and Scotia.
A. present the trains run as far as
Alton and the mail is taken from that
point to Scotia by horseback.

was subjected to Monday, especially by
the few morbid women who attended
the session.
The Eastern witnesses on behalf of
the prosecution will arrive tomorrow
night over the Santa Fe. 1t will prob
ably be nearly midnight before they
reach the city. With them will come
John P. Dunning and his little daugh-
ter. Originally, he intended to be here
at the opening of the trial, but business
reasons compelled him to delay and he
Joined the other witnesses at Philadel-
phia and proceeded westward in their
company. He is the husband of the
murdered woman and the alleged mo-
tive of the crime was jealousy on the
part of Mrs. Botkin. The daughter is
now eleven years old. At the first trial
she was not present to testify. She
partook Of some of the poisoned candy
and her condition was so precarious
that she was unable to travel when
Mrs. Botkin was first convicted of the
murder.
NEW EVIDENCE FOUND.
DR.. T. w. Stone of Stockton has been
summoned as a witness for the State
in the case. 1t is said that his testi-
mony will be very detrimental to the
case of the accused. Mrs. Botlxin lived
in Stockton with her husband in 1898.
While she was i'll on July 2S of that
year, DR.. Stone was called in. When
her condition had improved she con-
versed at length with him, asking him
in detail all about arsenic. He thought
she was joking, and told her to ..se
morphine If she was going to commit
suicide, whereupon she remarked that
she did not intend to use any drug on
herself.
She asked if too much would not
cause vomiting and thus not poison the
person taking it. She went to San Fran
cisco a few days afterward and re-
turned on August IS, and DR.. Stone
was called in again. She was suffer-
ing from Mysteries.
Shortly afterward a woman who had
been sent here as private detective
called on DR.. Stone and asked him
what illness troubled Mrs. Botkin. The
doctor replied that it was Mysteries,
not wishing to make a conf1dant of the
detective. He kept his own counsel
about Mrs. Botkin questioning him in
regard to arsenic poisoning. 1t was
not until after she was convicted that
he spoke freely about it.
