STANFORD MEN
WILL GO EAST
Athletes to Compete in the
Field Events at
Chicago.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
Eight Wearers of the Cardinal
Expected to Capture the
Championship.
RAISING FUNDS FOR THE TOUR
Receipts From the Sale of the Senior
Classbook Generously
Contributed.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., May
11. — Stanford's track team is going East —
at least that is what Track Manager Brown
and Captain George Toombs say. Already
plans have been made which promise
financial success and application has been
made for entry in the Western intercol
legiate championship meet, which takes
place in Chicago on June 6. Not all the
men will co, but eight prize-winners have
been selected whom, it is believed, stand a
good chance of winning a great victory for
Stanford. Those selected are Brunton,
Bernhard, Brown, Dole, Reynolds, Wil
bur, Toombs (captain) and either Frazier,
Jack, Hazzard or Fickert, as may b8 de
cided hereafter by their individual work.
"With this aggregation," said Manager
Brown, "I'm -willing to go against any
like number of men from any college. Of
course I wouldn't expect victory steadily,
but all the contests would be exciting and
we wouldn't be outclassed. With the
Western Intercollegiate Association, of
which Berkeley is now champion, I feel
certain we stand a good show of winning.
We mean to make a good try."
The whole scheme has been kept very
quiet up to this time, as it was uncertain
just what could be done. After Stanford's
virtual victory in the intercollegiate meet
many enthusiasts thought than Stanford
could pick out eight or ten men who could
win most anything and now they are
■willing to help the boys show what they
can do. Three weeks yet remain before
the team will leave and all the men will
go into training at once. Captain Toombs
cays that they will be all the better for
their lay-off, and that they are in fair con
dition now was shown by individual per
formances during the San Jose carnival.
Coaches and rubbers will be obtained at
once and the training-table started. The
estimated cost of the trip will be $1100.
Ten or twelve days will be occupied by the
team in its tour and it will enter but the
one meet.
The scheme which is to furnish the
wherewithal for this venture is due to
Messrs. Hanscom and Colliver, students,
who are issuing the senior claasbook.
Already they have orders enough to pay
the expenses of their undertaking, and as
the sale of the volume promised to be very
large they generously offered to divide
evenly with the track team all volumes
sold over and above those necessary to pay
expenses. The sale is expected to reach
at least 500 copies, which would mean be
tween $700 and $800 to the team. The re
maining amount will be made up by the
men themselves or through plans which
are now being arranged
The senior claesbook is one of the most
elaborate pieces of work ever attempted
by a Western university. It is got up in
large album style, strongly bound in an
engraved cover, witn the senior class
colors — straw, gold and cardinal. The
boon is devoted entirely to photogravures
of interest to Stanford University. It is
to be a souvenir of this institution, and
will contain individual photogravures of
the Stanford family, the university faculty
members, of every member of the senior
class, large group engravings of the
Varsity and class football, baseball and
track teams, and between fifty and sev
enty-five views of the campus, including
views of the quadranele, exterior and in
terior of buildings, Palo Alto, residences
(including Mrs. Stanford's mansion), fra
ternity houses, athletic grounds and snap
shots; also views taken after and during
the recent celebration when the victory in
the great Stanford case was decided.
The Junior Class Annual — the third
book of its kind issued from this univer-
Bity — appeared to-day and nearly 400 copies
were at once disposed of. There has been
a feeling of general anxiety on the part of
the students, for no one knows that he
may not be bit in the "joshes" and
"grinds," and no one can tell just how
severely the sting may affect him. It is
safe to say the "grinds" in the present
volume will cause no hard feeling; none
show the slightest touch of malice, but all
are good-natured and recognized as perti
nent.
This annual, issued by the class of '97, is
superior to any of its predecessors in many
respects. The design on the cover is taste
ful aad unique; the binding itself is in
white, gold and cardinal. One of the most
striking features of the whole work is the
amount and the excellence of the illustra
tions — all tne work of Stanford artists and
chiefly from the class talent. R. K. Cul
ver '97, now of The Call staff, was in
charge of the art work, and his talent is
proved by some of the finest pieces in the
volume. The design of the cover is his
creation. He was assisted by Messrs.
Allen, McCartney, Johnson, Ely and
Hyde ami by the Misses Holly and Mor
ton. Certainly the art work is far superior
to anything ever issued here. There are
no less than three-score full-page engrav
ings and more than a hundred half-page
small cuts.
There are pictures of the board of ed
itors, of nine faculty members, of most of
the fraternities, athletic team and student
organisations, of Stanford's debaters,
literary societies and local scenes from
photographers. Then there are elaborate
foot pieces and head pieces, pen
and-ink sketches ad infinitum. In ton
ing none of the work surpasses Miss
Hoilv's, while Miss Morton's efforts in
the Decadent style and following Beards
ley's innovation are remarkably uood.
Dane Coolidge '98 toofc the prize for the
best short story, while Irving Outcait '96
has the prize poem.
The "Qu:ia" is printed on the highest
grade glazed book paper and contains
nearly 300 pajres.
Edwin Maslin Hulme, the editor-in
chief, was born in London 23 years a*:o,
and came to America at the au;e of 14. In
.Portland, Or., Mr. Hulme became con
nected with the Review as musical and
dramatic critic. His work brought him
into prominence, and his poems, which
be^an to appear about this time, brought
him encouragement from some leading
poets and writers of the day. Mr. Hulme en
tered Stanford three years ago and has been
connected from the first witn the Sequoia,
of which he has just been elected editor
in-chief. Associated with Mr. Hulrae in
the publication of the "Quad" were the
following juniors: Sherrili B. Osborne,
J. H. Timmons, R. J. O'Neil, J. M. Ross,
J. F. Barnett, J. W. Bell and Miss Jessie
A. Ryan. R. H. Spencer was the business
manager. There has been a very heavy
sale of tne book and it will undoub tedly
prove a financial success.
Plans have been drawn, and Resident
Architect Hodges is arranging for the let
ting of the contract for building a large
auditorium here. The building will be a
frame structure, but of expensive con
struction. It will be built with special
reference to its acoustic properties, and
will probably be completed during the
year. Heretofore there has been a great
nee<i of such a building, and this is the
first want to be satisfied. The great stone
chemistry laboratory will next be built,
but, though the contract is let for its con
struction, it will not be begun this year.
When completed, however, it will be the
fin- st building of its kind on the coast.
On Thursday next the 'U6 and '98 class
baseball teams are to settle theclass cham
pionship in a match game, and on Friday
evening tue glee and mandolin clubs are to
give their final concert here.

xocneif of their Cause.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 11.— The
campaign work in behalf of the eleventh
amendment to the State constitution,
conferring the right of franchise upon
women, is going forward in all parts of
Los Angeles County. Tne committee
opened headquarters in room 300 of the
Byrne block in this city this afternoon,
where the executive committee will meet
every Monday afternoon. The committee
has offered first and second prizes of $10
and $5 to grammar school pupils of Los
Angeles County for the best essays of 800
words on the question of suffrage, the
essays to be ready for submission on or be
fore July 1.
General Campbell of Kansas will soon
take the stump in California in behalf of
the cause. Mrs. M. T. Maynard, president
of the local committee, goes to Lancaster
to-night to take part in the Woman's Par
liament and Farmers' Institute to-morrow.
This afternoon the follow ng resolution
was unanimously adopted:

VISALIA'S OUTLAW BAND.
Lovren and Ardell to Be Tried
Separately for Train
Robbery.
Under-Sheriff Dasgett Recovers From
the Wound Received in the
Goshen Holi-Up.
VISALIA, Cal., May 11.— Si Lovren and
Charles Ardell were arraigned this morn
ing for complicity in the attempted South
ern Pacific train holdup on March 18,
when Dan McCall was killed by Officers
Daggett and Reed. The reading of the in
formation was waived and the defendants
both pleaded not puilty. District Attor
ney Howard then demanded that, as the
defendants had insisted on separate trials,
the case of Lovren be called first. The
defense demurred to this, but the District
Attorney had the right to designate which
should be tried first, so the order was made.
The next move by the defense was for
time. The prosecution was ready to pro
ceed, but Lovern's attorneys wanted at
least a month in which to make prepara
tions. Judge Gray su.-gestect that both
cases be disposed of before the summer
vacation. They were finally set for June 1.
Under-Sheriff Earl Daggett, who was
wounded by Outlaw McCall, returned to
Visalia on this morning's train from
Tulare. He was accompanied by his
mother and father. A closed carriage
met them at the depot, and as soon as they
dismounted from the train they entered
the carriage and were driven home. Quite
a number of the wounded deputy's friends
were present to welcome him back. Young
Daggett was well wrapped up in a big
overcoat and was looking well. He had a
narrow escape from death.
ARRAIGNED AT STOCKTON.
Mrs. Jennie Vaccaressa Held for the Alleged
Killing of Her Hus
band.
STOCKTON, Cal., May 11.— Mrs. Jennie
Vaccaressa was to-day held to answer in
the Superior Court to the accusation of
having slain her husband by strangula
tion. The charge against the woman was
reduced to manslaughter, bail being fixed
at $5000.
Mrs. Vaccaressa went to the house of a
neighbor named Silva shortly before mid
night on the night of March 31 and told
Silva that a thief had entered the house
and, after robbing her of what little money
she had, turned upon her husband, and
was struggling with him when she left.
Silva at once secured assistance, and, on
going to the Vaccaressa home, found the
husband dead, his body lying near the
front door. About his neck was a rope,
with which he had been strangled.
Mrs. Vaccaressa's stories were so con
flicting and regarded as so flimsy by the
authorities that she was arrested and
charged with the murder of her husband.
To a Call correspondent she started to
tell the story of a fight with her husband,
but was checked by the advice of her
attorney. Her husband frequently beat
her, and on the night he was killed he
had assaulted her, threatening to beat her
to death with a musket that he bad earned
into the bedroom.
Mrs. Vaccaressa's bail is supplied Dy the
wealthiest two men in the county.
SANTA BARBARA INVENTION
Electric Lights Which Do Xot Illuminate
Surrounding Lots.
BANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 11.—Wil
liam Kencaid of this place has obtained a
patent which is destined to mark a great
stride forward in the electric lighting of
city streets. He has devised an ingenious
contrivance to be attached to mast lights
at the intersection of streets, and which
shuts the light off from surrounding lots,
where it is not desired, and sends four
powerful beams, in the nature of search
lights, down the streets.
This invention was successfully tried in
the city before an application fora patent
was sent to Washington, and it was saiisr
fa^torily demonstrated that by the light it
shed fine newspaper print could be road
two blocks distant. Without it, the same
print could witn difficulty be deciphered a
block distant.
S«» Luis Ojtisbo Hold-Up.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Cal., May 11.— Dr.
J. W. Gregory, a phy ician residing near
San Jose Valley, arrived here late last
l.igbt, and putting his team in a livery
stable started for his town residence, some
distance from the center of the city. When
near home he was met met by a man whom
Le thought was his hired man, but the fel
low proved to be a stranger, who dealt the
doctor two terrific blows behind the ear
with a sandbag. The footpad robbed the
doctor of $55.
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1896.
SAD ROMANCE OF
SANTA BARBARA.
Miss Gaty Wedded at the
Bedside of Her Dying
Father.
JOY DIMMED BY DEATH.
The Ceremony Hastened at the
Wish of the Stricken
Parent.
HIS LAST WORD A BLESSING.
Mourning in a Home Which Was to
Have Been a Scene of Gayety
To-Day.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 11.—
There was a marriage and a death in the
Arlington Hotel this evening. The one
event, which Santa Barbara society looked
forward to with expectancy, was saddened
by the other. It was a romantic wedding,
but the touch of the Reaper that made it
j so chilled the romance and left mourning
where there should have been happiness.
For some time past E. W. Gaty, one of
the proprietors of the Arlington, has been
a very sick man. He was afflicted with
Bright's disease of the kidneys and with
jit heart trouble. This morning his con
! dition changed for the worse and he died
at 6 o'clock this evening.
Mr. Gaty's daughter, Ada, was to have
married N. T. Powell, the cashier of the
Arlington, to-morrow, but when the
change in htr father's condition came a
clergyman was called and the couple were
made man and wife and received the con
gratulations and blessing of the dying
man.
Mr. Gaty was well known in Santa Bar
bara politics, and many a time he swung
his forces into line and snatched victory
out of what seemed like hopeless defeat.
He was twice Mayor of this city and was
an upright, honorable geutleman, whose
demise is deeply mourned.

itors were welcomed by J. M. Mannon of
Court Redwood. After dinner various
places of interest in the vicinity of Ukiah
were visited.
The committee on jurisprudence and
supervision, to whom was referred some
120 proposed amendments to the general
laws, will, in all probability, ask further
time in which to submit its report. It is
said it will report favorably on the proposi
tion to allow the consideration of amend
ments proposed on the floor of the High
Court meeting; also that of holding bien
nial in place of annual sessions.

"JIMMY" JACKSON AT SEATTLE.
Safe Return of the Daring Mail Carrier
Who Tramped Into the Yukon in
Winter.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 11.— The steam
ships Willapa and Alki arrived in port to
day from the North bringing the latest
Alaskan advices. The Willapa had as one
of its passengers "Jimmy" Jackson, the
intrepid Alaskan half-breed, whose return
to the Sound closes a 12000-mile winter
journey made for the purpose of taking to
the imprisoned miners on the Yukon a
supply of mail matter to break the tedious
ness of the long Arctic winter. There
were five in the mail party- three Indians
and two white men. The whites were L.
S. Hodge and N. McNeil, both of whom.
Jackson says, undoubtedly perished. He
and tlie other two Indians deserted their
white companions, »vho from excessive
cold and hunger had become very slow
travelers, late in December and no word
has since been heard Imm them.
Jackson's arrival on March 22 at Forty
Mile, his destination, created the greatest
excitement. He was a "Dig man" at the
diggings and nothing was too good for
him. The trin was one of hardship and
suffering and was made only after the last
dog (several having been taken along for
sledding purposes) had been killed and
eaten as a precaution against what ap
peared to be in sight— starvation. Jackson
expects to carry mail into the Yukon again
next winter and by the same route, but
this summer he will establish stations be
tween Takou harbor and Takish, at each
of which he will cache clothing and food
supplies.
The Canadian mail which carriers at
tempted to convey into the Yukon in mid
winter lies entombed in snow on the sum
mit of Chilcat pass.
THE WEAVERVILLE TRIAL
John Vinton Swears to Having
Been Ambushed and Shot
by Littlefield.
Displays in Ccurt the Scars From the
Wounds Inflated by the
Vaqu ro.
WEAVLRVILLE, Cal., May 11.— When
the trial of Constables Crow and Van
Horn, for complicity in the lynching of
"Jack" Littlefield on September 27, 1894,
was resumed this morning, J. M. Vinton
was called to the stand. Vintonis "King"
George E. White's right bower, and it was
at his demand that Littlefield was ar
rested. He claimed to have been shot by
Littlefield, and because of this alleged
shooting the vaquero met his death at the
hands of the lyncbers.
Vinton told of having been shot from
behind a tree by a masked man, who ran as
soon as he had fired. He recognized the
attempted muraerer as "Jack" Littlefield.
He tried to raise bis rifle to return the
shot, but was partially paralyzed end soon
fell from the horse and fainted from loss
of blood. Every one in the courtroom
crowded forward as Vinton bared his
bre ast and showed the scars of the wounds
and described his narrow escape from
d eath.
He told of reaching Haydon's place that
night in a desperately wounded condition.
On his arrival he sent for Constable Van
Horn and demanded the arrest of Little
fiel d. Vinton said that he owned one-half
inte rest in a cattle herd with John Rohr
bough, a nep hew of George E. White.
Fred Radcliffe, a picturesque cowboy
wearing fringed buckskin trousers, was the
next witness. He was questioned by the
prosecution as to his movements and
whereabouts, particularly when in com
pany with Joe Gregory on the 17th of Sep
tember ; and as to being at Haydon's place
and going out with "Buck" Lacock, Joe
Gregory. Thomas Haydon, Constable Van
Horn, Deputy Constable John Crow and
Geordon Van Horn to the scene where
Vinton was shot.
Following Radcliffe Thomas Haydon.
the owner of the ranch to which Vinton
came, took the stand and named the differ
ent persons at his house on September 26
and 27.
The lust witness of the afternoon was
Ehsha Kane, a splendid physical specimen
of the old forty-niner. He testified to
having gone to Haydon's ranch after hear
ing of the shooting of Vinton. He sat up
with the sick man i and first heard from
Vinton that Littlefield had shot him on
the night of September 26. He also
named the persons who came to the Hay
don place while he was there.
The object of the line of testimony in
troduced by the prosecution to-day seems
to be to prove a conspiracy, with the de
fendants as the tools.

Killing His Wife.
MARSHFIELD, Or., May 11.-Judge
Fullerton, in the State Circuit Court at
Empire City, to-day sentenced Carl Au

stituted divorce proceedings. Aubrecht
did his utmost to get her to return, and the
day before the crime said that he would
talk no longer but would kill her the next

INDIANS JOIN THE
MADERA CHASE
Camping on the Trail of
Outlaws Laverone and
Roberts.
HOUNDS OFF THE TRACK
Trace the Fugitives to a Creek
and There the Scent Is
Lost
MANY POSSES IN THE HILLS.
Officers Believe Starvation Will Soon
Drive the Escapes From Their
Retreat.
MADERA, Cal., May 11.— The pursuit
of the fugative outlaws, Laverone and
Roberts, who escaped from the jail at this
place after a desperate struggle with Jailer
Wells las: Thursday, is growing exciting.
The Indians of Picayune ilancheria have
joined in the chase. It is the first time
they ever volunteered their services to
capture a white criminal ; but they want
revenge f6r the killing of the old squaw
Mane, about eight months ago, by a
white man who covered his tracks so well
that they were unable to capture him.
Sheriff Westfall is working near Fine
Gold; George Wells, a son of the jailer,
and James Ham ikon are at the head of
the posse at North Fork; Samuel Prewett
has a posse under him at Table Mountain,
and the constable at Pollasky has had
guards stationed at the bridge on the San
Joaquin ever since the day of the jail
break. Unless the bandits have secured
help from an unknown source, they will
have to show themselves to get provisions.
The only person who returned with any
news from the hills to-day was Jailor
Wells. He started yesterday afternoon to
join the chase, but he had not gone far
before th« wounds in his hand ana arm,
received in the struggle with the outlaws
on the night of the jail-break, caused the
member to swell to such a size that it be
came necessary for him to return.
The outlaws are surrounded in the foot
bills or else they have completely duped
the officers and have escaped into Auberry
Valley or crossed over the mountain range
in the snow into Mono or Inyo county.
Yesterday, when Deputy Sheriff Jones re
turned to the hills with the bloodhounds,
he succeeded in putting the dogs on the
trail which had been identified by Lily
Larsen, and the hounds started baying.
They set such a rapid pace tnat the offi
cers, who were well mounted, could not
keep up to them, as the dense growth of
! underbrush made it impossible to get
through the gulches at a very rapid pace.
They soon lost sight of Ye dogs, which
started in a southerly direction and circled
around the southern end of the Table
Mountain and then led off toward the San
Joaquin.
Some of the other men who were on the
lookout saw them, and, knowing that
they were trailing, followed them until
the dogs led them into a deserted sheep
camp, here the animals lost the trail,
as there were numberless tracks of the
herders. There was a stream a short dis
tance from the camp, and it is the theory
of the officers that Laverone and Roberts,
learning that the dogs were in pursnit of
them, walked in the water for some dis
tance to throw the dogs off the scent. The
officers took the dogs and patrolled both
sides of the stream, Doth above and below
the crossing, but the hounds were unable
to pick up the trail.

IRON MOUNTAIN ACCIDENT
A Redding Liveryman Hurled Over the
Edge of a Chasm.
REDDING, Cal., May 11.— J. If. Welsh,
a liveryman of this city, met with an acci
dent near the Iron Mountain mine last
evening that may cost him his life.
Welsh left this city at noon yesterday
with a mining man, bound for Iron Moun
tain. The two, in a buggy drawn by two
fiery horses, arrived at the copper mine of
the Mountain Mines Company at 4:30
o'clock. Welsh volunteered his cervices as
guide for his companion through the mine.
The works had been temporarily closed,
and he was advised by the mine authori
ties not to venture underground. Not
heeding the entreaties of the miners he
started on a tour of the subterranean
caverns.
That was the last seen of the two by em
ployes of. the mine. Two hours thereafter
their buggy, without team or driver, was
discovered about three miles below camp.
A diligent search resulted in the finding
of Welsh in a chasm below the road, which
was built on a high grade, bleeding and
suffering from severe injuries and gashes
on his head and body.
His horses had become unmanageable
and ran away. In their course down the
grade they ran against a tree and threw
the driver to the gulch below. He was
carried to a cabin, where he now lies in
the care of his wife.

GALE AT SANTA BARBARA
Trial Trip of the Battle-Ship
Oregon Likely to Be
Delayed.
Will Not B5 Sent Over the Course
Until the Wind Blows Less
Strongly.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May U.— lt
is blowing half a gale here to-day, and
unless there is an abatement the battle
| ship Oregon will not go on its trial trip to
morrow. The Oregon is now lying in the
channel, and while the other veEsels
1 heeled over to the blasts until they almost
I dipped their yards in the water it never
made a motion and seemed as firm us a
rock.
As the wind may die out to-night, Ad
rriral xteardslee believed it would bebet
tei to send the stakeboats to their posi
tions. The McArthur got away at day
break for its position near Point Concep
tion. The Albatross sailed next for Goleta
Point, but the Gedney was delayed over
I an hour by an order from the admiral to
j Captain Osbornc to "Come aboard!" It
i appears a mistake was made in the laying
out of the course, and the captain was
wanted to consult with the officers of the
navy in rectifying the error. After that
was accomplished, the little survey boat
went on its way. The men on the three
boats will have a lively time of it.
Admiral Beardslee and Irving M. Scott
went aboard the battle-ship this morning
I and will not leave it again until after the
trial. According to tne weather sharps
here this will not be fox three or four days,
as they say a gale here always lasts three
days. The only guests on board the Ore
gon are Mr. Small of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co.. General Graham of the Presidio, Dr.
Chismore and J. E. Tucker, United States
Appraiser at San Francisco. If it is de
cided not to send the battle-ship on its
trial to-morrow, Mr. Tucker will return
home on the first train.

magnetic presence would make everybody
happy around him. -Why is it not so? One ol
the principal reasons is the universally prevail-
ing tobacco habit. Tobacco kills nerve, Stay

disgust instead of -love and affection. No man
who uses tobacco can be as much of a man at
