WOODS PLEA
Declares That Rogers Fired
First and That He Was
Then Compelled to Shoot

WOODLAND, Feb. 23-Cy Wood,
who shot and killed his neighbor, Verne
Rogers, near Capay last Saturday. is in
the County Jail charged with murder.
Wood was brought down from Capay
Valley last night According to his
story the shooting was done in self-de-
fense- He declares that Rogers fired
first, and the subsequent statements of
Mrs. Wood. who seems to have been the
cause Of the trouble, support this YER
sion.
Wood in his story says that he re-
turned to his home from Woodland last
Saturday afternoon and was told by
the men in his employ that his wife had
sent for Rogers. who lives about a mile
east Wood says that he knew of an
infatuation existing between his wife
and Rogers and he was aware they had
planned to elope. Taking his rifle he
started to follow his wife, and soon
came upon her and Rogers sitting on
the edge of some bushes. AS Wood
appeared his wife exclaimed, There he
is now; you had best run Rogers,
however, remained seated, but Mrs
Wood arose and ran. Wood said that
he was wacthing his wife, but some
thing drew his attention toward Rog-
ers. AS he was turning he heard the re-
port Of a rife and felt a sting in his
right side. 1t was only a flesh wound
inflicted by the bullet from Rogers
rife. Wood then fired and the bullet
entered Rogers face close beside the
bridge of the nose, causing instant
death.
1t was late Monday afternoon-two
days later-before any one other than
members of the family knew of the af-
fair Wood remained at his home, leav-
ing the body of the dead man lying
where it had fallen in the brush. His
brother, John c. Wood, had occasion
Monday afternoon to visit the ranch,
and when apprised of the facts advised
that the officers be Immediately noti-
fed. Wood was brought to the County
Jail in this city about midnight Mon
day The Coroner left this morning to
hold an inquest.
Later developments tend to compli-
cate matters. There is little doubt that
Rogers was shot from behind. In the
back of the head just behind the ear is
a small bullet hole, while the front of
the face is horribly mangled, showing
that the bullet entered behind.
Deputy Sheriff Ernest Griffin said to-
night that Mrs. Wood is in Sacramento,
whittier she had gone from Brooks,
Capay Valley. and had promised to
come tn woodland.

WOMEN ALMOST COME
TO BLOWS AT FUNERAL
Miss GrOover and Widow of Percy
Calhoun Have Alteration at
Grave of Iatter's Husband.


LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23-Because
the young woman in whose presence
Percy c. Calhoun blew out his brains
demanded that the coffin be opened and
she be permitted to take a last look at
the dead man, and because she tried to
place a floral wreath upon his coffin,
there was almost a general fight at
Calhoun's funeral to-day. The deceased
was married. but he had been associat-
ing with Miss Pearl Grower. Yester-
day at the inquest the dead mans
widow swore that the Grower girl was
the cause of her separation from her
husband. To-day at Evergreen Gene
terry Miss Grower appeared just before
the coffin was lowered into the grave
and demanded that she be permitted TO
look al CalhOuns body. Mrs. Calhoun
stepped forward and refused the re-
quest, at which Miss Grover turned
upon the widow, and but for the inter
Vention of others near by there would
have been a hair-pulling match. AS it
was the young woman struggled to reach
the widow. but the latter stood her
ground. Then the girl demanded that
a floral offering she had brought be
placed upon the coffin, but the flowers
were hurled across the lot by a mem
Der Of the funeral party. Miss Grower
was finally induced to leave and the
funeral service proceeded.

FIXING BLAME
FOR EXPLOSION
COrOner's Jury Hears the Evi-
dence in the Case of the jack
son Point Disaster in Utah
LITTLE LIGHT Is GIVEN
Authorities Have Difficulty
in Placing Responsibility
for the Fatal Accident

OGDEN, Utah, Feb. 23.-As per ad-
journment the Coroner's inquest over
the remains Of those killed in the ex-
plosion at Jackson Point last Friday
met in ogden at 1:3O p. m. to-day and
continued hearing the testimony Of the
witnesses.
Under the supervision Of Justice of
the Peace William Horsley, who is
acting Coroner of Box Elder County,
the jury went TO the hospital to get the
evidence of the injured, who are under
treatment there. The Greeks were un-
able 10 understand English. so John
McCart and Arthur Mitchell, two
Americanized Greeks, were sworn in
az interpreters. It was a rather slow
proceeding and not much information
concerning the accident could be elic-
tied from the Greeks.
Besides these Greeks the testimony of
Sam Courtney, the conductor of the
water train, was taken. Courtney was
injured about the hips and back and
badly shaken up. He was questioned
as to the rules of the road in the make
up Of trains in which there is a car
OF powder and as TO whether it was not
against the rules to place a car of
powder so near the engine.
Courtney was asked as TO who, in
his opinion. was the person responsible
for the makeup of the train and for
the accident, but he refused to make
any statement. When asked if he had
any opinion in the matter he said that
he had, but did not care to state it at
present.
George Nosberg, being sworn, testi-
fed that he was a brakeman on the
water train, going east. He was riding
on the engine until he saw that the
air did not work and Engineer Luna
whistled for brakes. He then got out
on the cars and set three brakes and
jumped off when he saw they could not
stop in time TO prevent the accident.
In about five minutes after the col
lisiOn the explosion came. He thought
no one was to blame for the accident,
a the air did not hold.
A. II. Reed, the next witness, told
about the same story. The jury then
adjourned until Thursday al p. M.
when they viii meet in Brigham City
10 hear the testimony of Engineer
Stanton and Brakeman Reid.

TRIES TO SAVE
RECKLESS SIRE
Special Dispatch to The CAN

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 23.-RoyaI
F. Love charges his father, Fred d.
Love. with being a spendthrift and
yesterday filed a petition in the county
court asking that a guardian be ap-
pointed to take charge Of the fathers
property.
Fred d. Love is a son of the late
Captain Lewis Love and is one OF the
heirs of the estate, which is valued at
81. 900, 900. The son alleges in his Pc
tition that his father is spending his
time in excessive dissipation. Early
in 1903 Fred D. Love borrowed on ac-
count of his interest in the estate Of
Captain Lewis Clark $500 and few
months later $1,000, which money he
dissipated forthwith. He then sold
his interest in the estate for $500, far
less than its value, the purchaser
agreeing to pay the $4,000 he previous
ly borrowed. Immediately afterward
the father went TO San Francisco and
spent all of the $500 drinking and
carousing, returning here about a
month ago. 1t is alleged that he was
prevailed upon by a woman to deed to
her a house and lot he owns on Clin-
ton street. She is said to have taken
advantage of his weakness to obtain
the property without consideration.
He has only about $500 in cash re-
manning, which the son AYERS the
woman is also likely to obtain.

POLICE SPOIL
HER HONEYMOON

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 23.-Charged
with having been associated with Carl
Anderson in the wholesale fraudulent
land deals, to which he has confessed
Mrs. E. w. Allen, a bride of two days,
was taken into custody to-day in Pasa-
dena and brought to the Los Angeles
Jail. She confessed her guilt but claims
that what she did was done without
guilty knowledge of Anderson's inten-
tions. She was married on Sunday to
E. w. Allen, a wealthy oil man of Pas
adena. Before that her name was
Massey, and it was only by learning
that woman named Massey had been
married that the detectives were able
to locate her.
According to the woman's confession
Anderson came to her last September
and asked her to represent herself TO
be Mrs. Mary A. Griswold, with whom
he said he was in a, real estate deal. He
offered to pay her SIS, and for that sum
she went with him to the notary public,
signed a deed in the name of Mrs. Girls
void, made affidavit that she was Mrs.
Griswold and acknowledged the execu-
tion of the deed.
With this deed and copies of it which
he himself forged Anderson went to
Omaha and sold the property of Mrs.
Griswold to a wealthy citizen. Then
he went to Kansas City and then to
Chicago, selling the property at each
of the places and sometimes to sew
eral purchasers. The amount he Sc
cured was large and he returned here
a rich man, but was arrested Sunday
night and confessed. He declares he

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 23.-James H.
Williams began an action in the Su-
perior Court here to-day to have the
marriage of his daughter, Maude. to
Edward Martin Kidd annulled. The
complaint recites that when the cere-
money was performed the girl was
only 16 years of age, and that the
consent of her parents was necessary
to a legal wedding. This not having
been obtained, the groom perjured
himself when he swore that his bride
was IS. The action is brought by the
father against his sonin-law, and it is
probable it will not be contested.

Liquozone is the result of process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the constant subject of scientific
and chemical research. It's virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
part from the best oxygen producers.
By a process requiring immense ap-
paratus and "a days time, these gases
are made part of the liquid product.
The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source of vital
ity, the most essential element of life.
Liquozone is a vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. BEt germs are vegetables;
and Liquozone, which-lile oxygen
is life to an animal is deadly to vege-
