MYSTERYSHROUDS
FATHER AND son
STRANGE COINCIDENCE MARKS
THEIR DISAPPEARANCE
Resident Of Sacramento County Drops
From Sight in December, 1901,
and His Son Did Likewise
Last Month
BY Associated Press.

by Associated ETeSS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-A
strange coincidence between the disap-
pearance of father and son has come tt
light. Alexander Hall IF Ma1love sta
ton, Sacramento county, disappeared
December l, 1901. He was adjudged
by the courts last December to have
been drowned in the wreck of the ferry
steamer San Rafael or that date, al
though there was nothing but circum-
stantial evidence that he was on the
steamer at that time. Today Patrick
Cassidy of San Rafael reported to the
police anG the coroner that on Decem-
ber 16 of last year Halls eldest sou
Robert disappeared under precisely the
same circumstances and every effort
to locate him had failed.
The mystery of this second disap-
pearance is increased by the fact that
The North Shore RGilroad company has
appealed from Judge de Haven's de-
cision awarding $1,000 to Mrs Hall and
her children on tbs ground that Hall
death had never been proved. This
decision was rendered on the day on
which Robert Hall vanished. Both
father and son were on their way to
visit Cassidy when last seen.

SHERIFF EARNED HIS FEES
Kept Busy for a Week by an Insane
Nan.

When Sheriff Ed Stanley Of ella
county yesterday received from the
superintendent of the insane asylum
q receipt for the person of James
Howard. he breathed 4 sigh of relief.
Howard had given him a week OF the
most strenuous experience of his OFF,
cial career.
Howard, formerly n fireman on the
ella Valley, Globe and Northern rail-
road. went crazy on the subject of
religion. he imagined that he wanted
to be 4 Mormon. From the very be
ginning he developed violent tenden-
cies. After his commitment to the
asylum, while he was sitting in the
Office of the sheriff awaiting transpor-
tatiou to Phoenix. he made a sudden
and most violent assault upon tie
sheriff. The sheriff is large and
powerful man while Howard is rath-
er under size. But he was vested with
TIE unaccountable strength which fire.
quently lies in the insane. Before the
sheriff could recover himself he was
badly beaten and marked about the
face. so much that he decided to de-
fer the rip for a few days.
After that he was on his guard
whenever he was within reach of the
mailman. He ironed him securely be-
fore starting for Phoenix and kept a
close watch upon him. When he
reached MaricOpa he bought a bed for
the night. It was an iron structure.
He fastened Howard to it and COM
posed himself to sleep. He was awaR-
ened out of a dream that he was in
a railroad wreck and that he had be-
come hopelessly entagled in the de-
bris. Howard was running away with
the bed which was rapidly. going to
pieces. The head of the bed was hung
on the neck of the sheriff, who finally
managed to extricate himself and get
control of his prisoner. The bed
though was a wreck, which set the
sheriff back $3.50.
There were no other mishaps en-
route. Arriving in the city the sher-
if put his man into a hack and set
out for the asylum. Howard was

and in an instant she was ahame from
head to foot. She lived two or three
hours after the fire. 1t was thought
late on Monday night that the baby
could not live.
This terrible incident developed q
youthful hero. Glenn, the seven year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Wintermute
who was also slightly burned about
the face and hands. When the lamp
exploded he tried to save his mother
and remained at his post until he was
torn away by later rescuers He
dragged the baby out of the fire zone
as soon as possible, and IN the fierce
heat of the burning house kept the
hose turned upon his mother. The
baby was not burned by the oil but
by the flames which had communicate
ed to the house which was almost in
stantly on fire after the explosion.
The first arrivals on the scene were
several women but n bulldog belong
ing to the Wintermutes would not al
low them to enter. Thus they were
helpless to render aid until men came.

TO ADVERTISE THE FAIR
Proceedings of Board of Trade Direc-
tors Meeting.

The meeting of the directors of the
board of trade held Tuesday night
was devoted mainly to n consideration
of territorial fair matters, though
there was one item of another sort
that was very timely. 1t will be re
membered that on the occasion of the
visit of the congressional party here it
was accompanied by Arthur Ruhl, a
correspondent Of Golfers Weekly. Mr..
Ruhl wrote for that paper an article
which recently appeared and which is
bound to do the valley a great deal of
good. 1t was written in very enter
tanning manner and set forth more
facts than is usual by writer's of that
sort of literature 1t was the kind
of an article that space could not be
bought for in q publication of that
sort, and it cost the valley nothing,
wherefore the least the board of trade
could do was to pass a resolution of
thanks to Mr.. Ruhl and appreciation
of the courtesy of Golfers Weekly in
its publication.
Secretary Tiaffny of the fair associ-
alton, who was present, announced to
the board that the association was
embarrassed in the building of 4 fence
around the grounds, by reason of the
fact that it could not secure the posts
at once, a plan formerly adopted haV-
ing failed. The association has ap-
piled to the secretary of the interior
for permission to cut the necessary
posts on government land and it asked
the board OF trade TO adopt and for
ward a resolution urging the secretary
TO favorably and hastily consider the
request OF the fair association. It was
SO ordered.
Fair Commissioner Clark addressed
the board on the subject of advertis-
ing the fair. He requested the board
to early undertake the matter Of help
ing in this work and to use it's in
fiuence with the merchants of the city
i'm getting them to advertise the fair
as much as possible on their station
cry. He suggested that rubber stamps
might be furnished the merchants with
which they could stamp d fair adver-
tisement across every letter head and
envelope used and those who use 4
great deal OF stationery might be pre-
vailed upon to have a line printed
across their paper calling attention to
the big show.

TRAGEDY AT CHA BEND
Mrs. D. E. Wintermuts Burned to
Death on Monday Night.

There was a tragedy at ella Bend
on Monday night. Mrs. d. L. Winter
mute was burned to death and her
small baby was so badly burned at
the same time that it was feared that
it would not survive. The first news
of this distressing affair reached this
city in the morning, but later in the
day w. J. Welcome of this city receiV-
ed a letter from his brother Frank ID.
Welcome, giving details Of the affair.
The house occupied by the Winter
mutes belonged to w. J. Welcome. 1t
was burned with all its contents. The
fire was caused by an exploding lamp
in the hands of Mrs. Wintermute. The
blazing oil was spattered all over her

both legs of the sheriff. There were
no broken bones in consequence but
some painful cOntusions.
Just as the sheriff was leaving Globe
for Phoenix on Monday night his dep
uty. D. s. Heron, arrived from Ala
mOgOrda, \. NJ, with the two Mexi-
cans who had been extradited on sus-
picion Of being the men who murdered
sam Plunkett and z. A. Kennedy near
Livingston on July u. The sheriff
said that they were identified as two
men who had been seen about Plum
kett's ranch about the time OF the
murder and he is of the opinion that
they are the men who have been SO
widely sought for.
They We're arrested by a deputy
sheriff in New Mexico for a burglary
which had been committed there.
Sheriff Stanley said that he had never
learned what clue led the arresting-
officer to suspect that they might be
the Livingston murderers. one of
them had blood on his hat and the
deputy sheriff took the hat to a doc
tor to see if the apparent blood spots
could be analysed. It was determined
that it was blood. The officer had
noticed no blood on the hat of the
other man but when he returned he
found that this prisoner had just fin
ished washing his hat.
The men do not resemble in the
slightest degree the earlier description
sent out of the supposed murderers.
One of them is a huge man and in
stead of being a very dark Mexican
ne is a rather light one. Both deny
that they We're in the neighborhood of
Livingston at or near the time of the
murder
The September term of court will
open at Globe on Monday. Judge
Tucker is now there, having returned
some time ago from his vacation spent
at his former home in Nebraska The
sheriff said that the judge spent no
part of his time in Washington as had
been reported. Nothing is known ut
Globe of the reported investigation of
the conduct of the judge.
