Los Angeles Tries in Vain to Sc

the Santa Cruz
Delegates

Special to The Herald
OAKLAND. June 20.--The Demo-
cratic state central committee met to-
day and selected Sacramento as the
meeting place for the state convention.
September II is the dete agreed upon.
sacramento had a strong delegation
present and Santa Cruz was also an ap-
plication for the convention.
Los Angeles wanted it, but the dele
gates saw the fight was hopeless after
little preliminary missionary work
and made no open campaign before the
committee.
The claims of Sacramento were pre-
sented in few words the central loca-
tion of the capital and its telegraph
facilities being the principal arguments
advanced.
The Santa Cruz delegation saw the
drift of sentiment and did not present
its case. Sacramento was then selected
by acclamation.

down the hall to fight with the man
and was reinforced by the two Ket-
ring boys.
Edwin Retiring their oldest son, who
Is 20, tried to seize the weapon and put
up hard fight but the father, who is
AZ years old, and of stalwart build,
pushed him aside and deliberately fired
at the young mans head.
Edwin lodged in time to avoid the
natiron that Gordon Ketring, aged 49,
had thrown from upstairs with excel
lent aim. 1t struck its intended victim
in the back.
Edwin Retiring, son of the man who
did the shooting, said:
II was upstairs when I heard the
shooting in the front room. l think
there were four shots before I reached
the room where my mother lay
Il saw her and my aunt lying in The
room, both bleeding and moaning then
saw my father going out the back
way.
when I saw him I ran to stop him
and then he shot at me.
"Soon after that my younger brother
threw flatiron at my father as he left
the rear door.
my father entered by the front door
and when 1 saw him he was in his
stocking feet. He had q key to the
front door 1 believe and used it when he
entered.
after he left the house he ran out
the back way and pumped over fence
and 1 saw no more of him.
Women May Recover
Surgeons at the receiving hospital, to
which the two women were conveyed,
stated at o'clock this morning that
unless unforeseen complications set in
both would probably recover.
Mrs. Retiring, after being shot con-
tinually, put her hand to the back of
her head, saying that she could feel
the bullets in her neck.
Police were stationed at the Retiring
house in case the husband should come
back, though this was regarded as a
very remote possibility, and every avail
able officer was furnished with de-
scription with orders to bring in every
man who looked like Retiring.
The fact that he was in his stocking
feet and blood stained, may lead to his
apprehension before daybreak, Ser
geant Craig stated.

'.The idea that a razor needs frequen.
grinding or honing is not in keeping
with my experience" said a man who
shaves himself. II have a razor that !.
got ten years ago which has never been
out of my possession, never had I'M
other treatment than stropping, and Is
today the sharpest and best of six. A
razor can only be kept in this condition
without honing, however, by using a
hard strop-that is, one which Is rigid
instead Of flexible and not the kind
that makes an arc OF a circle when you
use it. This latter sort will sharpen a
razor for awhile. but it also makes the
edge round until at last it ceases to cut.
Why do I have six razors? Well, that
Is to use them in regular turn and give
each one of them a rest. I shave every
day, which I find the least troublesome
method, and if l use the same blade
every day it would soon play out. The
edge Of g needs rest, just like
every other machine"

Row and then, not often, ghostly ap

county of Durham 'Gabriel's hounds"
were for long. long years believed to

him who heard and saw them. But
prosaic modern research proved them
to be nothing but f1ocks of wild geese

Of winter and choosing dark nights for
their journeys. Similarly the ghost of
Irbydale, in the Lincolnshire wolds, a
goblin who terrified travellers at night
with its h%eartrending cries and who
was said to be a witch who had been
worried to death by dogs in a long past
age, has been shown to be nothing but
an owl. On the other hand, no true
Cornishman will ever be induced to re-
linquish the belief that the spirit Of
