TERRIBLE DEED
Of CRAZY MAN
Ross Valley Near San RafeI the
Scene-Five People
are Killed

william Stephens, who lived at Ross
Valley, Marion county, CAL, Tuesday
murdered his wife, shot his five children.
three of whom died instantly, attempted
to murder passing mi kman and then
ended his own life after firing two bullets
into his body.
Stephens was about 35 years old and
was formerly a book agent, but lately
was said to be connected with a rubber
goods house of San Francisco.
The family also conducted a chicken
ranch at their home in Ross Valley.
Tuesday morning a passing mi kman was
startled to see Stephens emerge from his
home, revolver in hand, and fire upon
him. The mi.kman whipped up his horses
and Stephens pursued him for a couple
of hundred yards firing as he ran.
Stephens then halted in the roadway.
placed the revolver to his breast and dis
charged the weapon. The bu let id not
end his life and he sent second shot
through his brain.
When the neighbors and officers enter
ed the home of Stephens they came upon
a shocking scene.
In all of the beds were the members of
the unfortunate family, each with re-
vo yer wound n the head.
The wife and three of the chi dren were
dead and it is believed that two of the
surviving chi.d .dren cannot live. The chill
dren ranged from one to eleven years of
age.
There is at present no known reason for
the tragedy, but the theory is that
Stephens became suddenly insane, and
his murderous attack on the unoffending
milkman appears to substantiate that
belief.

wIINNEMUCcA QUIET.

Never before in the history of Winnie
mucca, old-timers say, was business IN
time. This condition may be accounted
for by the promised dry year. The farm
ers' prospect for big crops is not encour-
aging. While feed on the ranges OF
Humboldt was never better than now
people are going SOW and have not many
permanent improvements in contempa-
tion. Stockmen say that everything that
will make mutton and beef will be driven
to the shambles this fall in order to ease
up on the haystacks. 1t will probably b
as well, for the markets indicate gooo

Reno is reaping a rich reward II safe
crimes are indications of thrift. If one
can judge anything from the Reno papers
Reno is a great field for crime. Hardly

BUYING A WATCH.
FILLED Gases, Plated Cases and Good
| and Bad Movements.

Filled Gases, Plated Cases and Good
and Bad Movements.
mot many men know how to buy a
watch" said 4 jeweler, land to large
extent they have to rely on the honesty
of the dealer. So complicated is the
business that even we 60 to the fac
tories ourselves and arrange for spe-
cial work in order to get the proper ar
ticle, for, Of course, we could not as
say every case we receive.
"Now, how many people know the
difference between filled case and one
that is plated? A filed case, you see,
is a composition that resembles steel,
with plate Of gold on each side, that
on the outer being thicker than the in.
side. Such cases are guaranteed not
to wear through within five, ten, If
teen or up to twenty-five years, the
limit Of the guarantee made by the
reputable houses. If q man offers you
case warranted for thirty or forty
years you are going to be bunkoed If
you buy it. When you see watches Of
fered for sale as gold filed for So or
81 depend upon it they are plated, and
mighty thinly too. "~
I'm the matter Of watch movements"
he continued, 1.-The buyer is really at
the mercy Of the dealer. In one big
factory about 5000 movements are
made every day. There is certain to
be haste in that sort Of output, and the
name on the dial does not make up for
imperfections. To avoid these a first
class jeweler arranges for several hun
dred movements to be delivered q year
hence. ...
"a strictly first class movement re-
quires six months exactly in its pas
sage through the factory from the be-
ginning to the finished product ready
to offer for sale. Such goods are then
stamped with the name Of the firm for
which they are made and that firm has
to stand sponsor for them. The Swiss
watch, in its higher class, is the best
movement in the world today. OF
course there are cheap Swiss move
ments that you can buy for s. or 81,
but they keep good time" kansas City

THE KALLIMA BUTTERFLY,
An Insect That Perfectly Imitatea
aDead Tree Leaf.

An Insect That Perfectly Initiates
Dead Tree Leaf.
A moth usually rests with his fore
wings outspread over the prominent
pattern of his hind wings, says Waldo
mar B. Kaempffert in the Booklovers
Magazine. In any other posture he
would inevitably meet a swift death.
A butterfly, on the contrary, rests usu-
ally with his wings uplifted and
pressed together. Otherwise, the gaudy
upper surface would be as conspicu-
GUS as the black ink on this white
paper-a signal for attack by relent-
less and voracious foes. In order to
hide himself the butterfly has, there
fore, lavished all the resources Of his
initiative art on the under surface of
his wings. BY far the most astonish-
Ing instance Of this kind is afforded
by the East Indian Kallima butterfly,
the blue upper surface Of which ia
richly and ostentatiously adorned with
a stripe Of orange, but the under sur.
face Of which bears a truly staggering
likeness to a leaf, when the wings are
drawn together. Here we have an
insect that apes not merely the ap-
proximate shape and color Of dead
leaf, but also the midrib with the deli
cate veining, the sharp point, and the
short stem common to many tropical
leaves.
1t might be supposed that this imita-
ton Of an ordinary object is sufficiently
minute to protect the Kallima from its
enemies. Self preservation apparently
demands not merely dead leaf sim
ulated, but in touches even more ex-
Quisite, for the resemblance has been
20 crafty carried out that the light
er colored varieties, dead, shriveled
leaf fecked with parasitic growths,
stained and spotted to givesthe appear
ance Of holes eaten by caterpillars.

was being made too much Of. The fact
was he was being exhibited, charge

The trade Of toothstainer, followed
In eastern Asia, is as odd calling as
any. The natives prefer black teeth
to the whittier kind, and the toothstain-
er, with a little box Of brushes and
coloring matter, calls on his customers
and stains their teeth. The process is
not unlike that of backing a boot, for
a fine polish is given to the teeth. The
pigment used Is quite harmless. In
Arabia the trade Of "gossiper" has
many followers. The "gossiper'' col
iects all the news, tittle-tattle, Jokes
and stories he can get hold Of and
then goes from house to house retail
ing them. If he has a good manner
and can adapt his recitals to his audi.
ences he makes very fair income.

How owls Catch Chickens.

When was chunk of a boy shot
q horned owl, the spread Of whose
wings was four and one-half feet, and,
to the surprise Of the boy who had car
ried it for several miles, the weight
was only four pounds. They were
rather numerous at that time In that
section Of the country and were trou-
blesome about carrying OF chickens,
which mostly roasted In apple trees
about the farm buildings. The belief
that they could carry away full grown
hens was common one. It was also
commonly believed that an owl never
picked chicken on the roost, but,
aiighting on the limb, crowded the
chicken OF and az 1t few toward the
ground caught 1t on the wing. Forest
