Especial Dispatch 10 The, CALI
SAN RAFAEL, July 23-Frank Riede
a local sportsman, was kicked over a
so foot cliff in Lucas valley this morn
ing in a struggle with a wounded deer
Riede had shot the animal, and, rush
ing to where it fell, attempted, to throw
it across his shoulders
The hunter was somewhat too hasty
however, as the buck was still alive
though mortally wounded. 1t fought
desperately. Unwilling to part with
his game, Riede held on.
Deer and man rolled through the
underbrush like a pair of Japanese
wrestlers. When near the brink of the
cliff the wounded beast shot out a
vicious left to the solar plexus. Riede
was catapulted over the mountain side.
AS he descended he clungs to an out
growing tree. After time he Olsen
tangled himself, returned to the scene
of the conflict, and there found the
buck breathing its last.
The dogs had scared up the deer
and had given chase until it passed
within range of Riede's rifle. At the
first shot it fell, apparently lifeless,
but it proved to be an extremely active
specimen.
No sooner had Riede laid hands on
the apparently dead deer than the ami
NAL lurched forward upon his knees
and struck the startled hunter. with
his horns and hoofs. Fearing the buck
would escape Riede clung to. him
Although weighing but 100 pounds the
young deer fought like an old stag at
bay. Armed with his knife, the hunter
grappled with him, the deer lying upon
his side kicking with his sharp hoofs.
For a minute or more the man and
angry animal battled furiously, Riede
trying for an opening with his knife
and the deer fighting for his life.
Then the hunter thought he saw his
chance, and drove his knife forward.
But the buck was quicker than the
man With his legs drawn back he
shot them with terrific force into the
pit Of Riede's stomach. hurting him

was detective in the employ of the

questionings of the attorneys for the
defense he declared that he had been
requested by Governor Gillett to in

gather data on the case.

He was put on the stand by Attorney
General Webb. who contented himself
with asking him how he came to be
drawn into the proceedings. Through

Passing of Grants


The plan to develop these immense
holdings gives illustration anew of the
passing of the old Spanish grants. For
years they have been retained in their
original form, but the press of popu-
lation to California has necessitated
their subdivision.
1t is stated that 100000 will be ex-
pended as soon as possible on the
Moulton ranch in order that it may be
made as attractive as possible to set
very great and it is the intention of
the new owners to develop it to its
fullest capacity
The engineer in the syndicate is w.
the employ of the government and did
much of the pioneering on the klamath
project in the northern part of the
state.
All concerned are very enthusiastic
over their new purchase and believe
it will prove most inviting to colonists.
This represents a new development
in the state of California" said Doctor
Macomber, member of the syndicate.
"She time has come when the old
grants must give way to the smaller
tracts where intensive cultivation is
possible. We expect settlers to come
to California in great numbers, and
we will begin as soon as possible to
prepare the land for them"
