PEELED to Take to His Heels

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA ROSA, Oct. 7.-Gil P. Hall, a
Petaluma attorney and hotel man, had
a lively scrap there this morning with
officer Pat Mego.
The details Of the fight differ, Hall
contending that the policeman attacked
him without provocation, while Mego
alleges that while he was passing Hall
on the streets the latter made a move
ment as If to draw a weapon. Fearing
an attack he dubbed Hall with the
butt end Of his revolver, inf1icting sew
eral scalp wounds. Halls hat broke
the force of the blows and saved him
from severe injuries The headgear
was battered to pieces.
Trouble had been brewing between
the men for more than a year and the
bad feeling that has existed has caused
the belligerents to watch each others
every move. To-day when Mego saw
a movement that did not look right to
him he started in to secure an adyan-
tage. Hall was unarmed and finally
ran from his assailant.
Hall will take the matter before the
Board of Trustees at their next meet
ing. Mego has been engaged in fights
before in Petaluma, but has a good rec
ord as a policeman. He has been on
the force there a number of years.

afternoon, thirteen minutes before the
scheduled time, the battleship Nebras-
ka left her ways al Moran Brothers
shipyard in this city and slid gracefully
and majestically into the waters of
Puget Sound. The launching was en-
tirely successful and no hitch marred
the proceedings. The only reason the
vessel was launched ahead of time was
that by a slight miscalculation the
poppet Ga wooden brace at the bow wac
raising the vessel too high, and in the
opinion of experts it was better that
the supports be knocked away without
delay.
Fully $4,000 people viewed the cere-
monies and saw the big vessel slip into
the water. She created but a very small
wave as she took her maiden plunge
and floated out gently and gracefully

stated that it was the most successful
they ever saw.
The Nebraska weighs more than any
vessel ever before launched for the
United States navy. Immediately after
the launching the big Alaska liners
that hovered about her, with decks
black with excursionists, looked dimin-
utive beside her.
Miss Mary Main Mickey, the daugh-
ter of Governor Mickey of Nebraska,
christened the vessel.

Who Raff1ed OF His Acres.

FRESNO. Oct. w. c. Wilkinson
of Laton has won a $500 ranch from
A H. Liese on a rafting scheme, but
he cannot get a deed to the property.
He threatens to take the matter into
the courts and have the property con-
fiscated by the State. Liese, who was
formerly a Santa Fe conductor with
his home in this city and who is now
living in Oakland. sold tickets at 81
each for thirty-five-acre ranch, sup
posed to be in Kern City, Monterey
County. 1t was advertised that the
person holding the number corre-
spending to the one winning the first
prize in the lottery drawing August 13
would win the ranch. Wilkinson held
the winning ticket, but when he
claimed the ranch Liese wrote him
that he had no rights in the courts as
IT was a game of chance

old statute which provides for the con-
fiscation Of such property to the

script door, the rector leading the way
and reading from the burial service of
the Episcopal church. The casket was
borne to the chancel by eight uniform
ed postal carriers After them walked
the pallbearers-Secret Hay, Secre-
tary Hitchcock and Secretary Wilson,
the only members of the Cabinet who
were able to reach Washington for the
funeral.
Mrs. Payne entered the church sup
ported by Charles S. Jones and his
sister. Miss Louise Jones, the nephew
and niece of Mrs. Payne, and followed
by a few personal friends.
The service was read by Rev. Mr..
Smith and his assistant, Rev. Mr.. Dun
lap. the only alteration in the regular
order of service being the offering of a
special prayer for Mrs. Payne. The
hymns sung during the service were
Lead, Kindly Light" and Jesus.
Lover of NV Soul" For the reces-
sional. the vested choir sang "Hark,
Hark. My Soul" The selections were
made by Mrs. Payne and are her ia
Vorite hymns.
The chancel was fragrant with flow
ers sent by friends from all over the
country. The only flowers on the cas-
ket were those of Mrs. Payne, large
sheaf of Faster lilies, a wreath of
white roses and carnations from the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and a
cluster of violets, gardenias and palms,
the offerings of Miss Jones.
The members of the diplomatic corps,
out of respect for the dead Cabinet Of
ficer, were dressed in black.

and the funeral party to Milwaukee
left the Pennsylvania station this aft
ernoon. Secretary of Agriculture Will
son is the only Cabinet officer who
went with the train, but the plans
