INSANE FRESNO RANCHER
USES RATCHET ON WIFE
AND CHILDREN.
(By United Press.)

FRESNO, CAL, Dec. 22.-Charles
Chevuront, an insane rancher, to-
day butchered his wife and family
with a Ratchet at his home in the
northwestern part of this city. After
viewing the results of his bloody
deed, he field to the Southern Pa
cific tracks and threw himself in
front Of passenger train. He was
virtually ground to pieces.
His wife is dead and their two
little girls, both under IS, fatally
wounded and expected to die. The
third child Is injured, but will re-
cover. His son escaped uninjured,
while the tragedy was being en-
acted.
At 5 this morning Mrs. Chevuront
arose to prepare breakfast. The
four children were asleep in bed.
While the woman was bending over
the stove Chevuront stealthily
arose from his bed and crept be-
hind her, armed with Ratchet.
Without warning he rained blow
after blow upon her body. She sank
to the floor, covered with blood.
The insane man, still brandishing
his weapon, entered his childrens'
bedroom and completed his bloody
work. When he had finished the
interior of the home resembled a
slaughter house.
Chevuront then ran from the
house to the Southern Pacific
tracks. There he waited until the 6
o'clock passenger train arrived and
threw himself in front of the loco
motive, death resulting instantly.
1t is stated that Chevuront owned
a ranch east of town. Last summer
he became insane, but was nursed
back into apparent good health.
Later the ranch was sold that the
husband might be brought to town
and cared for by physician.

mark today is divided into three
camps as far as DR.. Frederick
Cooks claims to the discovery Of
the north pole are concerned. A
handful OF people, including the in
spector of North Greenland, still
believe Cook reached the pole. A
large number believe Cook thinks
he reached the pole and an over
whelmng majority brand the ex-
plorcr as the greatest imposter of
modern times.
The generally accepted view is
that Cook wandered around the
arctic region in search of the pole,
but without sufficient scientific
knowledge to know where he went.
He emerged from the arctic, his
critics declare, with the determine

FOR NEW
OFFICIALS
Under Commission Plan
Greene, McBroom, Wag-
oner, Corbaley.
DETAILS OF PLANS
DETAILS OF PLANS

The probability of the adoption OF
a new city charter, providing for a
commission form of government,
means the election of new set of
city officials Immediately after the
charters approval. While it may
be possibly looking a. long way
ahead, as several steps are yet to
intervene before a new charter is
secured and city election held,
politicians are already discussing
available timber for the five COM
missionerships provided for in the
proposed new city charter.
At present the salary agreed upon
is $4,000 per year and the term of
office five years. which would mean
a nice berth so far as political posi-
tons go. 1t is admitted, however,
that the term of office is not yet
finally settled, as the commission
is divided on the five year continue
ing term plan.
Among those mentioned for the
commissionerships are F. P.
Greene, former county auditor; Fred
McBroom, chairman of the board of
county commissioners; E. f. Wag-
oner of the Union Fuel & Ice Co.,
and Gordon c. Corbaley, real estate
manager for the Arthur D. Jones
Co. The commissioners elect the
mayor under the proposed plan.
Ex-Auditor Fred B. Greene, who
has been mentioned for mayor as
the choice of the republicans of the
city, said this morning that he
stood for commission form of
government even though to do so
would have the effect of preventing
him from responding to the urgent
requests of his friends that he con-
slider making the race for mayor
Mr.. Greene said he stood for the
commission form of government for
this city and wanted the charter to
be so drafted that the interests OF
the people as a whole will be fully
protected by the initiative, referen-
dun and recall.
Under the proposed charter the
elections will be nOnpartisan. Pri-
maries will be done away with and
every fellow can run who can Sc
cure petition signed by 100 voters.
Under the plan of preferential vOt-
ing every voter will have a chance
to express his first, second and
third choice for the commissioners

friends, remains loyal. He declares

MUST REDUCE PRICE OR
LOSE UNION DEPOT, CLAIMED

One of the most persistent advo-
Gates of the proposed union passen-
ger station Is the North Coast rail-
way. The North Coast seems to
think, however, that unless the city
council reduces the price of the city
hall property $4,000 there is no
show for the union depot project
going through.
Hence the chief counsel for the
road, l.. r. Hamblen. former attor-
ney for the city. has been calling
councilmen to his office, one by
one, and interviewing them on their
feeling toward cutting the price
placed on the city hall property
from $500 to S275,000, The first
figure was agreed upon by the city
council after careful deliberation
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-12-22

The second figure is the one
adopted by the union depot COM
mittee.
There may be some cut in the
city hall price, but it will not be
great. The councilmen say that the
sale of the site to the railroads will
mean the mourning of an expense
by the city of from $250,000 to
100000 more than the railroads
will pay. On this basis it is figured
that the proposed sale of the city
hall and the erection of new
building Is a financial transaction,

Two mysterious thefts that be-
wilder the police and seriously EN-
6arrass the victims, at least finan-
cially. were reported to the officers
last night. Anton Hess, rooming at
the Wilbur lodging house, made the
woeful discovery that $75, which he
had placed in his trunk for safe
keeping, was missing when he
went to his bank to replenish
his funds. The room was undis-
iurbed and the trunk was locked
as usual.

that John Sandon of the Carney
hotel hurried up to the desk officer
with story of how he was shy"

able to give the officers any clue
to the mysterious disappearance OF
his coin. All he knew about it was
that it was not where he put 1t.
