to surprise those who have the pennant

aged father and fmortally wounded his
mother. o.. .,A .,..
Gunther some time ago. was, released
from the Napa insane asylum at the
solicitation, of his parents, who be-
lieyed that he would be restored to
mental health by, the quiet. life Of their
ranch home.
Gunther at first improved but soon
again manifested signs of mania which
took the form of Threatening to kill a
brother who, fearful of danger, went to
San Francisco, hoping that his absence
would also improve his brothers condi-
ton.
Today after Gunther had used his
shotgun with murderous results he
went to the house of a neighbor where
he proposed marriage to the daughter
of the family, Rachel Meredith.
Gunther was armed and covered with
blood
The girl was quick witted and told
him to go to Clayton to get marriage
license.
Gunther started for the license, and
when he reached the town seemed to
have come to a realization of his acts.
He told friend: IT am crazy as hell.

today. however, he suffered a second
sinking spell and grew worse. His con-
dition became so low that his life was

Catholic church, Of which faith Mr..
Mccall was an adhereht, was SUM

church were administered to the
stricken man.
When all hope had been lost. Mr.. Me-
Call suddenly rallied. It was an effort
of the mind and will, however, and not
a physical improvement. The attend
ling physicians foresaw the approaching
end and so warned his family, who re-
NAMED with the patient from that time
TO the period Of dissolution.
Mr.. McCars mental effort TO shake
off his ailments was the result of the
report of the Fowler investigating
committeeman, composed Of directors
of the New York Life, who made pub
lie their findings ten days ago They
censured Mccall severely for certain
acts of his in connection with the lesls-
lative bureau established by him with

over the matter that it was decided
early last week to permit him to see 1t.
The recommendations in the report,
demanding of him a fuller accounting
Of the Legislative work than he had
made, are said to have been crushing
blow to the company's former presi-
dent. He declared to his family and
to the intimate friends who saw him
that he was determined to get well.
that he wanted to live to set himself
right before the American people. The
strain was too much: however, and
from that time Mr.. McCall's decline
was rapid.
