EMMA GOLDMAN UNDER ARREST
NOTORIOUS ANARCHIST NOT PERMITTED TO HOLD
MEETING IN
SAN FRANCISCO, January 15 - Emma GOLDMAN, the
notorious Anarchist, and BEN L. REITMAN, who is widely known as the “King of
the Hobos,” were arrested last night as they were about to hold a meeting. They
are now in the city prison on eight charges of “conspiracy to rout.”
“Rout” is defined by the State Statutes as
the assembly of two or more persons at a meeting where measures are advocated,
which if carried out, would lead to riot. The police acted on the theory that
each of the meetings announced constituted such a conspiracy, and bail was
fixed at $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond on each count.
William BUWALDA, who was dishonorably
discharged from the Army and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment on Alcatraz
military prison of this port by a Court-martial for shaking hands with the
Goldman woman at a meeting held by her some months ago, was placed under arrest
also because of his vigorous protest against the action of the police. BUWALDA
was only recently released under a pardon from President Roosevelt.
FATHER IS DEAD
ROCHESTER (N.Y.), January 15 - Abraham
GOLDMAN, father of Emma Goldman, famous for her anarchist doctrines and
speeches, died here yesterday at the age of 85. He was proprietor of a

KILLED WHILE READING BIBLE
WOMAN SLAIN BY YOUNG MAN WHO JUST WANTED TO
KILL SOMEBODY
SALT LAKE CITY, January 15 - While reading
her Bible, Matilda ECKLUND, 47 years old, living just outside the city limits
of Sandy, was shot and killed shortly before midnight last night by Axel
CARLSON, 20 years old. CARLSON fired at her through a window, two shots taking
effect. Unsatisfied, the murderer entered the house through the front door and
fired another bullet into his victim’s temple. Carlson then went to a nearby
saloon, and after partaking of three glasses of whisky, told of the deed.
He was immediately placed under attest. Carlson made a long rambling statement, the purport of which was to the effect that he had been “wronged and hounded by union men until some one had to die”.It is believed that he is insane.

WOULD FORECLOSE $20,000 MORTGAGE
Glenn Judge Presides in
The case on trial is one of considerable
magnitude, being a suit to foreclose a $20,000 mortgage on the
LACEY resists foreclosure of the mortgage,
alleging that his agents, who bought the mine for him “whip-sawed” him, or
charged $20,000 commission illegally. F.B. ROSSI brings suit to foreclose the
mortgage. He is only trustee of the mortgage. There is no taint of fraud about
his part of the transaction.
The evidence is all in. The attorneys are
arguing the case to-day.
HUSBAND-TO-BE BUSY, SO WIFE-TO-BE GETS
LICENSE TO MARRY
WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), April 13 - Judge FARNHAM
Sunday united in marriage Miss Catherine Veronica O’BRIEN and Harry ROSSEK, of
Elk Creek. On last Saturday afternoon the bride came to Willows and secured the
marriage license, saying her prospective husband was at work on a farm in the
Elk Creek section and could not leave. The groom until recently was in the shoe
business and the bride was formerly of
VERDICT OF SUICIDE
Unknown Stepped in Front of Engine and Was
Killed.
DUNSMUIR (Siskiyou Co.), April 13 - An
unknown was struck by a light engine just north of Shasta Retreat Sunday and
literally ground to pieces. Constable FISK at the inquest identified him as a
stranger who had eaten breakfast at the Birmingham Hotel that morning.
The man had acted in a peculiar manner and
had taken a newspaper forcibly from another boarder. When FISK remonstrated
with him he said he was going where no one would have anything to say to him
and started up the track.
Engineer CREASON stated that he gave the man
plenty of time to leave the track but that he stepped directly in from of the
engine.
The unfortunate man was of light complexion
about five feet nine inches tall between 35 and 40 years of age, and wore
overalls and a brown coat.
The jury returned a verdict of suicide.
LIVESTOCK INSPECTOR
Glenn Supervisors Give
Appointment to M. Jensen.
WILLOWS (Glenn Co.), April 13 - The Supervisors
of this county have deemed it necessary to protect the live stock from disease,
and have appointed M. JENSEN, D.V.S., as livestock inspector for
In the past few years things have changed,
and now instead of Glenn being one large wheat and barley field, there are
thousands of head of live stock raised yearly. On numerous occasions it has
been found that live stock were afflicted with glanders,
and as this is contagious, there must be a close lookout kept.
On last Saturday the new county inspector
killed two horses which he found to be suffering from glanders,
and yesterday he killed the third. He thinks now that he has all the diseased
animals of this immediate vicinity out of harm’s way.
WILL RECOVER
SUSANVILLE (Lassen Co.), April 13 - Mrs.
George W. WATSON, of near this place, underwent a very delicate operation last
Sunday afternoon. Dr. W.E. DESLER performed the operation, which was
necessitated by an ailment of several months’ duration. The operation was
successfully performed and the patient is getting along nicely.
HINDU PRISONER IS TRYING TO STARVE HIMSELF TO
DEATH
AUBURN (Placer Co.), April 13 - Kwpr SINGH, the burly Hindu who was recently sentenced to
serve a term in San Quentin Prison for attempted robbery of several of his
countrymen on the Branstetter ranch, just east of
Loomis, his motion for a new trial having been denied by the Court, is in a
very despondent frame of mind, so it is reported, and it will probably take
heroic methods on the part of the officers to compel the prisoner to eat.
For the past eight days Kwpr
SINGH has scarcely eaten anything, and openly stated yesterday morning ,through an interpreter, that he would much prefer
to die than to serve a term in prison. It is not thought that the man is
bluffing, but that on the contrary he might attempt to starve himself, if
permitted to do so.
However, the
BOUNTY IS PAID ON 300 COYOTES AND 4 LIONS IN
SISKIYOU
YREKA (Siskiyou CO.), April 13 - The bounty
on noxious animals is quite a little item of expense to the county, as is
evidenced by the fact that at the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors
claims were allowed for 300 coyote scalps, amounting to $600, and four panther
scalps, amounting to $40, making a total of $640 which was allowed to various
citizens throughout the county.
The claims were mostly for one or two scalps
to each person, with the exception of one party, who had forty-four scalps. The
ordinance as it now stands makes it obligatory to present the scalp within ten
days after the animal is killed, together with an affidavit stating how, when
and where the animal was killed, so that there is very little chance for market
hunters to run in a lot of scalps from some other county or state.
INQUEST NOT ENDED
Coroner to Further Investigate Train Killing
Near Nord
CHICO (Butte Co.), April 13 - At 4 o’clock
yesterday afternoon Coroner John WALLACE held an inquest over the mangled body
of an unknown man, supposed to be Abraham LIKES ,a
farm hand on the Gable ranch at Nord, who, as told in
The Bee yesterday, was found dead near the track, but the testimony adduced was
not sufficient, so pending a further investigation the case went over until
Saturday.
When Abraham LIKES left Nord
for the Gable ranch he carried a whisky flask and a scorched newspaper. These
were found near the remains, according to the testimony. The features of
deceased were so mutilated identification by this source was impossible.
Coroner WALLACE is at Nord this morning
investigating. It is believed the man was struck and killed by one train and a
second passed over his body, which was left on the track.
MOTOR CAR FROM
Southern Pacific Planning New Services to
North
It has been suggested that we run a motor car
from Chico to Redding or Kennett, leaving Chico at 8 a.m;
Red Bluff at 9:30 a.m.; Redding 11 a.m.; arrive at Kennett 12 noon.
“Leave Kennett
“Would like each of you to train-gram me
immediately with any suggestion you may have regarding this connections with
other trains and best time of departure from your station, etc. Would like
answer by Wednesday, sure.
The telegram indicated plainly that the motor
car service is to be given a trial, at least. There is little doubt that it
will create enough new business to make it pay and that it will not seriously
curtail the receipts of the local trains at present provided for.
The schedule, as announced by the General
Passenger Agent, is satisfactory in every particular so far as
As it is now a Redding business man wishing
to visit Kennett must leave home at 7 a.m., and he cannot return home until
10:45 p.m., unless he steals a ride on a freight train, in which event the
railroad of course receives no fare.

COMPETITION FOR N.C.O. RAILROAD
ALTURAS (Modoc Co.),
May 17 -
The war between the business men and
merchants of this country on the one hand and the N.C.O. Railway on the other,
over the exorbitant freight and passenger rates on this road, now seems to be
on in earnest.
Upon the solicitation of the business men of
the country, Mr. G.M. SWOBE, Vice President and General Manager of the McCLOUD Railroad, paid

of the country and then in company with S.R. BUNCH, made a trip across the

The business interests of this vicinity are
on the verge of taking in hand the matter of fixing up and reconstructing the
road between here and Bartle. The road can be
improved and shortened sufficiently, it is believed, to bring the rate down to
75 cents per hundred.
During the past few years much freight for
this section has been hauled via Bartle, and more would have been shipped this way if it had not
been for the poor facilities for handling freight there and for the poor
accommodations for the teamsters. It is understood that these matters will soon
be remedied.

has been placed in charge as foreman. The mine is equipped with a fine electric
pumping and hoisting plant, sufficient to enable the mine to be sunk to a great
depth. At present the shaft is down only 400 feet and is full of water.
Foreman TORPIE estimates that within thirty feet
the famous “hard bar” so distinctive of Deadman’s
Fist, will have been passed, after which sinking will be easier and the ledge
will come in regular formation, instead of being badly broken up as has been
the case.
