Whiskey Causes Near
Murder in Monfrose.

Montrose, Colo, Jan. 2s.-One man
was seriously wounded and narrowly
escaped death and another came near
being murderer as a result of the
heavy drinking of one man.
David Withrow, employed at livery
stable, was very drunk last evening.
He secured revolver in the office of
the stable and started to the front of
the stable to close the heavy doors.
He fell just outside of the doors. Mar
vim Edwards, another employe, rushed
from the rear of the stable to see what
was the matter. Reaching the doors
he put his head out and called to know
whatever was the matter. Withrow,
on the ground, whirled the revolver over
his head and pulled the trigger. The
bullet struck the heavy door about two
inches from the edge, went through
the thick wood and buried itself in the
stomach of Edwards. Had the bullet
missed the door it would have passed,
unimpeded through Edwards body and
doubtless have killed him as the revol-
yer was of heavy calibre.
Edwards wound is not dangerous as
the bullet remained in the flesh and did
not penetrate the intestines. He will
recover. Withrow is in Jail. The men
we're good friends. Withrow does not
remember what he was doing. He
greatly deplores his action.

DISTRICT SHOWS
REMARKABLE GAIN
Census Supervisor Issues State
ment Concerning Work
Done by Enumerators

OAKLAND, June 17.-In a lengthy
report issued today Census Super
visor James NJ. Burke, in charge of the
federal enumeration in the third con
gressional district, seeks to a1lay the
fears of Oakland that her full popula-
tion has not been listed, and that the
towns growth will not be correctly
represented in Uncle Sans official sta
tistics.
While I am not at liberty to give
out fgures,' said Burke, "I can say
that with one or two very minor To-
calities. every part of the district shows
a healthy and, in many instances. re-
markable growth during the 10 years
since the last census. The sections
where increase is not shown are ac-
counted for by the fact that 10 yea rs
ago the census was taken in June.
when large number of farm labor
ers were engaged on the harvest in
the rural districts. This year the GEN.
sus was begun in April, before har-
vest had begun, and the absence OF
the farm laborers and fruit pickers
in some of the rural districts was
very noticeable in the census"
Burke related in detail the manner
in which the enumerators worked in
Oakland He asserted that he had am
pie reason for believing that the CEN
sus work in this city was complete.

FERRY TRAIN JUMPS
TRACKS AT SLOW SPEED
Oakland Seventh Street Local
PIOWS Into the Curb

OAKLAND, June 17.-The engine and
first coach of the east bound local on
the Southern Pacific Seventh street
line were derailed at 1:55 o'clock this
morning between Broadway and
Franklin street and crashed into the
curb in front of the Schaffer building.
That many were not either seriously
injured or killed probably is due to
the fact that the train had just left
the Broadway station and was not
running at full speed, and the engine
crew, Engineer w. S. Skinner and
Fireman B. E. Wallace brought the
engine to a stop before it reached the
buildings on the north side of the
street.
The passengers were mostly resi-
dents of Fruitvale and Melrose. Be
yond a severe shaking up no one was
hurt. Those who could not find lodg-
ing in Oakland for the night were
obliged to walk home. The cause of
the accident is not known, but it is
believed that a rock had lodged be-
tween the rails.
The concrete curb in front of L. FL
genes grocery at 40S Seventh street
was plowed up and the engine badly
damaged. 1t was nearly 6 O'Clock be-
fore the wreclSing crew cleared away
the debris.

and their families are leaving for the
country, there has been little lessening
of the activity in real estate here in
the last week. There have been sew
eral important transactions in city and
business property and the residence
lots in the northern section seem to
have found as many admirers willing
TO prove their admiration with cash as
before.
This continued trading is. of course.
unusual at this time of the year, and
the people who are most surprised
are the dealers themselves: In all the
other residence sections around the
bay the trading in lots stopped almost
abruptly two weeks ago, and there has
been practically nothing doing since
that time. Many of dealers and sales
men have joined the crowds leaving
every day for seaside and mountain,
and many offices might as well have
been closed. Here in Berkeley but few
have gone for vacation yet, and it looks
as though the selling force will be
kept busy for another week at least
In Northbrae properties there is
plenty doing. The Southern Pacific
tunnel at "The Circle" with the steam
shovel and 100 mule teams; the Key
Route encampment with the gangs lay
ing the tracks; the gardeners tending
the parks; the graders and the concrete
workers making streets, Sidewalks and
curbs, to say nothing of carpenters
and builders working on half a dozen
residences in that district-al these
contribute to the enlivenment of the
scene in the new residence district.
The railroad companies will be very
busy in Northbrae this summer, and
after the end of July it is expected that
there will be boom in this section, as
there have already been many inquiries
for lots already sold. Offers as high
as so per cent above original selling
price have been made for particularly
choice lots, and many holders who have
only paid their deposits and one or
two installments could have cleared
handsome sum-in some cases double
what they had paid in.

Hunter Who Could Not

ALAMEDA, June 17.-Part of the
fire department was called out today
for a boy up a tree. The boy was
year old Ernest Losee of 2o33 Pacific
avenue The tree was the giant and
historic eucalyptus at the southeast
corner of Central and. Park avenues.
The boy was after an owl that he
had pursued for many blocks. When
the wise bird flew into the tall
eucalyptus and perched on the topmost
branch the boy sought to reach
He climbed first into a, pine tree close
to the eucalyptus and then grasping
a limb of the pine tree swung himself
into the eucalyptus.
When young Losee found that he
could not reach the bird he also found
that he could not reach the ground
by the way he ascended. He could not
get down the eucalyptus. 1t was too
large The boy, after remaining for
nearly two hours in the tree, began to
cry His weeping attracted the at

To MANAGE Mines
NOresh Chandra Chakravarti Ap-
pointed Superintendent of
Peruvian Company

BERKELEY, June 17.-Noresh Chan
dra Chakravarti. one of the half a
dozen Hindu graduates of the univer-
sity, who has attracted the attention
of big corporations in and about the
Goldfield district, since he took his de-
gree from the mining college, has been
appointed general superintendent for
the Pasco mining company of Lima
Peru.
This is an important position. as the
properties of the big mining company
are very extensive. and Chakravarti
will have charge of a large number of
men.
He came to the United States in 1904.
and, although he had studied English
in his native land, Chakravarti found
that he was handicapped when he reg
istered in the mining department
through his imperfect understanding of
English.
Nevertheless he was graduted with
creditable marks, and on receiving his
degree secured position which he held
until his recent appointment to the su-
perintendeney of the Peruvian mine.

OAKLAND. June 17.-Mrs. Phebe A
Hearst was sued today for $500 dam
ages by F. f. Frick. who bases his
claim on developments that grew out
of the operations of c. II. ToIiver as
an experimenter with airships on Mrs
HeaFSts summer place at Verona.
In 1907, he says, he decided land to
Mrs Hearst for the use of Toliver and
the latters airships. Frick declares
that the consideration for the deal was
that he was TO get certain dOW Of
water for his ranch. Soon after the
transfer Toliver became disheartened
by repeated bad luck, and he save
up his attempts at Verona
The suit brought today is for a re-
covery of the land and S2.500 damages
which the plaintiff says he has sus-
tained because the water was not fur
nished to him. ToliVer and numerous
directors and officers of the airship
company in which he figured also are
named as defendants.
