Captain Seymour decided, after hearing the result of the autopsy, to keep Mc- Grath in the prison till the Coroner's In- quest and If the Jury exonerates him from all blame he will be discharged. ' Policeman Tillman found McGrath at 5 o'clock In the vicinity of Tenth and How- ard streets. Tlllman says that on the way to the prison McGrath told him he had hit Hennessey on the head with a club. This McGrath denies, and gays he and Hennessey were the best of friends. Dr. LuiglDomenico Bacigalupt. autopsy surgeon for the Coroner, found that acute alcoholism wa» the cause of Hennessey's death. The heart was also in a bad state, and the liquor drunk by Hennessey caused collapse. Through abundant caution, however. Dr. Bacigalupi sent the stomach and contents to the City Chemist for analysis. The report of the chemist will be received within the next two or three days. There was a slight abrasion over the left eye, but Ithad nothing to do with the death. When Cummins reached Tenth and Mar- ket streets he was ordered to stop by Mc- Grath. who got out and staggered down Tenth street. Looking Into the hack. Cummins saw Hennessey lying on his side on the seat. He was unconscious. The driver notified Policemen Fraher and Till- man. who told him to drive to the Re- ceiving Hospital. Hennessey was dead when the hack got there. McGrath and Hennessey attended a lodge meeting on O'Farrell street Monday- night and both became intoxicated. They visited several saloons and missed the "last car." finally reaching a saloon on Stockton street. The bartender at this piece put them Into W. G. Cummins' hack and told mm to take them home. , The body of Charles J. Hennessey Is In the Morgue and Henry McGrath. who was a friend of Hennessey, Is in the "tanks" at the City Prison pending the result of a Coroner's inquest.

It is said, that have passed between the Rock Island and Union. Pacific officials leave no room for doubt that the Union Pacifle. particularly since Its acquisition of the Southern .Pa- cific, claims the Southwestern territory as Its own peculiar field and resents the In- trusion of the Rock Island. Ostensibly the projection of the exten- sion is to open tip valuable mineral ter- ritory In Southwestern Utah, Nevada and California, but the real purpose, accord- ing to railroad men. is the inauguration by the Union Pacinc of a counter move- ment to a projected extension of the Chi- cago, Rock Island and Pacific road, which has under construction a line KS miles long from liberal.

RIVAL ROADS HURRYING WEST Bemis was apprised of his wife's death at a saloon at 777 Market street, and he went out to the Receiving Hospital He declined to speak of the causes leading to the woman's death. In the places which he frequented, the employes said that the relations of the couple were extremely happy. and no reason could be a-sitmed for the action of the woman in taking poison. The mystery will probably have to be sClved by the police. Some six weeks ago Beinl3 and his wife took rooms at 305 Eddy street with the family of H. M. Templeton. But little was seen of the couple. The husband sper.t the greater portion of his days away from home. Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon Mrs. Berais was taken to the Tera- pleton residence from some hotel on Bush street. She came in a carriage and was ac- companied by a young woman who said Mrs. Bemis was ill. She was carried to her room and received such attentions as her condition seemed to warrant. About four hours later Dr. J. A. Macdonald of 313 Eddy Ftreet was called In and found her In-a state of collapse. He administered tonics and stimulants, but as her condition did not Improve he suggested that the woman be sent to tho Receiving Hospital. She reached there about 8:30 o'clock and died about two hours later without the doctors being able to render her any assistance. Her body was later removed to the Morgue. At her late residence H. M. Templeton raid that nothing was known as to where she came from or tisa r.ame of the woman who brought hex to the house. Temple- ton said a partially emptied pint bottle of wood alcohol was found in her valise. Mrs. Herbert E. Bemis of 333 Eddy street .died last night at the Receiving Hospital from the effects of poison, the nature of which Drg. Murphy ani Thrasher were unable to determine. Mra. Bemis and her husband . formerly conducted a roadhouse near Cahunga. Los Angeles County, and came to this city about two years asro.

Is Brought Home Sufftring From Poison and Dies in Hospital. WOMAN'S DEATH SEEMS PECULIAR Buckland is a German and 37 years of age. He claims that he was discharged from Company E. Thirty-fifth Regiment, for insanity in October last. John Buckland. a laborer, created a dis- turbance in the saloon at SOI Keamy street while drunk last night, and after being twice ejected returned to the saloon and fired three shot3 at close ranse at Charles H. Harriman. the proprietor, without doing serious damage. That Har- riman escaped being killed is little short of a miracle. He was leaning on the b|r, reading a newspaper, when Buckland pushed open the swinging doors and, standing almost against tne saloon man, drew a small-caliber revolver, and point- ing it at Harriman's head, fired. The bullet whizzed past Harriman's face and lodged In the wall. Again Buckland pulled the trigeer. the leaden missile this time tearing through Harriman's coat sleeve, but without inflicting any injury. ¦ Buckland backed away and. taking de- liberate aim. nred a third shot. The last ball struck. Harriman in the abdomen and went through his shirt and under- garments, but with no other effect than to leave an abrasion no larger than a pin- head on his skin. Buckland ran from the saloon toward Pacific street, where Spe- cial Officer Sam Daggett tried to stop him but was held at bay by the fleeing man, who threatened to kill him. Datrcett watched his chance and grappled with Buckland, whom he soon overpowered. With the assistance of Policeman Cava- naugh Daggett brought the man to the Central Station, where he was locked up on a charge of assault to commit murder. John Buckland Fires Three Shots at C. H.

Gibson, the first of the retailers to reopen, decided to let his clerks go at 6 p. m.. but to ke°p his store open later, tend- ing it himself. His action has provoked threats <-if boycott. Mr. Gibson said yes- terday that he found it to be a necessity for him to reopen and that he would per- sist, for he cou!d not make the business pay ifhe closed at « p. m.

Other members of the asso- ciation are conslderir.g' the came pro- cedure, and the address to the public may precede the reopening by nisrht of stores that have been closed at 5 p. m. since the beginning of the year. Indoinz this they an> oppose! to the Retail Clerks" Union. Two circular* have been already issued by the Retail Merchants" Association. In one of th*?* the alms and purposes of the association are f taied. One purpose is "to encourage an 8 p. m. closing, not Interfer- ing with the 6 o'clock closing stores nor with the smaller stores that may desire a later closing hour." Opposition to the boycott is also pro- claimed a purpose of the association. In another circular it. is set forth that "it is the aim of this association to concen- trate -the Interests of retail dealers in all lines."

ESTIMATES FOB TUNNEL ON MONTGOMERY STBEET A meeting of contractors was held yes- terday In the Montgomery-street ofHces cf Charles A. V.'arren to take actlcn re- garding the strike of sand and gravel wacon teamsters. Contractors Warren. O'Brien. OShea. Tuttl<?. Cray Brothers, the San Krancisco Construction Company and the City Street Improvement Com- pany, controlling about 253 of the 300 patnl wagons in the city, were represented at the meeting. After a short dl=cuF=ion the contractor* concluded that the demands of the teajn- sters were without right and Impossible of fulfillment and hence no effort to effect a compromise with the strikers will be made. The contractors agreed to g'> ahead with their work as usual, take In new har.ds to manage the teams and to refuse any offer to return to work that may be made by the strikers. The impression was given out by the striking teamsters that thfJr union Had be*n recognized by the San Francisco Trades Council and would be taken in by th&t erranizatfen. It was stAted at the m«*<?tir:s of contractors that the teamsters had b*en misled and doubtless led Into their present difficulty through the belief that tht:r union would b-e accepted by the Trades Council, which, for the present ?lt least, if said to be without foundation. The contractors pointed out that the teamsters had but little right, by reason <"f th» natur" of th*ir emplc}*niAnt. to ex- pect to become part and parcel of the Trades Council, and though the applica- tion of the Teamsters' Union for admis- sion is now with th? Trades Council, the same will net be acted upen for some time. A^i<i» from the team*tprs=" apparent lack of support the contractors point to th? fart that the teamsters— not In any sense of the word being skilled laborer.*— are raid fair waets- frcra Jl 3 to S2 a day. Thf-!r demand for I. Z- 1 diy. shorter hours and otht-r concessions will, hence. not be granted. The contractors also raised the point that even if before the strike the teamsters were entitled to be heard, tneir lack of consideration for their employers, many of whom have contracts covering Icr.g periods ahead, no longer entitle? them to this privilege- The brarcir.g-house plan, which is in use by some of the contractor*, is another source of grievance to the t"am«t?r*. "While it is true that a few contractors have boarding-houses, which, in their de- fens-?, the contractors say keep nUiny of th<? e»s away from saloons and in a con- dition to work, all do not run these places, notably Gray Brothers: but the teamster- did not discriminate between contractors who did or did not conduct boarding- houses. This fact, in addition to others stated, swerved as a further Incentive for the contractors to go ahead and ignore the Teamsters" Union. Many teams were running yesterday. Advertisements inserted in the dally papers called many teamsters to labor and within the next few days the con- tractors say they will be running full force and the Teamsters' Union will have lost its fipht. The striking team drivers are awaiting a chanc in weather conditions before phowirs: their strength. They met In force yesterday at their headquarters at 1155 Mission street and discussed their plans for the future. The storm prevent- ed much outside work.

Feb. 13. The water around StocXton has been rising: steadily all day. Every ditch and slot:gh Is booming near the danger point. The surrounding coun- try as viewed^ from the Courthouse dom\» just before dusk presented & scene of swollen streams aa.i scores oi big lakes In the lowlands. The valley is dotted with sheets of water. \ .;." = There has been a steady movement ol water from the foothills all day. The Cal- averas. Mokelutane and Saa Joaqala rivers are being swelled not only by the rainfall, but by melting snow. Mormon Slough, which carries away the water menacing: Stockton from the east, is with- in a few inches of leaving its backs. Stockton Channel lacks abou: two and a half feet of reaching the streets and should the day's averajce of a two-Inch rise an bear continue during the- night a dangerous condition would exist. So far the big levees protecting the lowland and reclaimed U!and3 are holding, but those who have millions of dollars at stake will j.i^s an anxious nisht. A message from LJnden thia afternoon stated that Mormon Channel was bankfull at that point and ns:n? fast. The Cala- vera3 River had overflowed and flooded many farms and a part of the town of. Unden. The Prather and TVltherly ranches were under water. At that time it was raining hard and LJndea residents were moving goods out cf their cellars. The operator sent word that Fair Oaks people be warned to look out for very high water before morning.

ONE CRUSADER BADLY HTJRT- L.EAVENWORTH. Kans., Feb. 19.— Twenty masked farmers with shotguns attempted to raid a saloon in Millwood, a small place fourteen miles north of here, last night, and in the melee that followed Mrs. Rose Hudson, wife of the bartender, v.as instantly killed, her head being com- pletely blown off. William Webb, one of the raiders, was shoi.in the arm and two or three others were slightly injured. One hundred shots were nred. To-day John and Henrs "Wilson, ycung farmers, mem- bers of the mob. were arrested and war- rants are out for others implicated. The town is in a fever of excitement and further trouble is threatened. The saloon was run by Mrs. Michael Lochn^r She had been warned to close tre place by Monday, but refused. At 10 o'clock last night twenty men. all armed and wearing handkerchiefs for masks, approached the saloon. Two of the num- ber. Jo* Turner and John Wllburn. en- tered and ordered drinks. Bartender Hud- son had scarcely oet the glasses on the bar when the men eave a signal. Imme- diately the door -was burst open and the marked men rushed into the place. Half a dozen shotguns were raised to the celling and nre«.i. apparently to show the saloon-keeper that the raiders meant business while two men approached Hudson ' with leveled guns. . Hudson prabbed the barreis of both for an in- stant then fell to the floor. The runs ¦were discharged as he fell, the charge from one striking the wall and that from the second piercing the stove. Mrs. Hudson rushed to the scene from the living rooms in the rear and stood in the doorway. She had barely reached the spot when a gun was leveled at the door and discharged. The shot struck her In the forehead above the eyes, and she fell, mortally wounded. Hudson rushed to his wife's side to ftld her, but she died before he could carry her to another room. During the shooting William Webb, one of the raiders, vram accidentally shot In the arm, and two or three others -were wounded slightly. A few more shots were fired, but the mob. alarmed at the killing of Mrs. Hudson, quickly left the place without stopping to destroy the Iiquor3 and fixtures. Anticipating the attack. Hudson had gathered about him ten armed men. They, however, being taken by surprise, were stampeded, and this fact and the killing of Mrs. "Hudson probably prevented a bloody riot. The affray lasted but a few minutes, and details were not learned until this morn- Ing, the raider? having" gone quietly to their homes. The members .of the party are all believed to be young farmers who live near Millwood. Murder an Incident of a Eaid by » Tanners on a Saloon. BARTENDER'S WIFE KILLED. WICHITA, Kans..

So alarming has become the situation that Mayor Al- bright this afternoon issued a proclama- tion declaring ' Winfield in a. state cf ter- ror and orderinc all good citizens to go armed to-morrow and use their be?t In- fluence to prevent bloodshed. The Mayor savs the situation is critical and he ex- pects bloodshed unless the -saloon men go. No less than a thousand temperance "peo- ple have armed themselves to run out the saloon men tomorrow at noon and smash all their fixtures. The saloon fixtures have been stored and the saloon men re- fuse to ship them out of town. A visrllance committee to-day issued an order threatening to hang any saloon man ¦who harmed any crusader. Women will go with the ministers and other temper- ance people. Raids are expected on the Winfield Commercial Club, which Is com- posed of young business men.

LOJvDONV Feb. 13.—Lord Kitchener,commander in chief of the British forcesin South Africa, telegraphing from Pre-toria to the War Office under date o5February IS, says:

"Dewet is reported still moving northand now is west of Hopetown. He prob-ably will double back to the southwest.The troops are prepared Tor this. A trainwas derailed between Vereeningin andJohannesburg this meming. but the Boerswere driren off before they securedmuch." v

Captain Seymour decided, after hearingthe result of the autopsy, to keep Mc-Grath in the prison till the Coroner's In-quest and Ifthe Jury exonerates him fromall blame he willbe discharged. '

Policeman Tillman found McGrath at 5o'clock In the vicinity of Tenth and How-ard streets. Tlllman says that on theway to the prison McGrath told him hehad hit Hennessey on the head with aclub. This McGrath denies, and gays heand Hennessey were the best of friends.

Dr.LuiglDomenico Bacigalupt. autopsysurgeon for the Coroner, found that acutealcoholism wa» the cause of Hennessey'sdeath. The heart was also ina bad state,and the liquor drunk by Hennessey causedcollapse. Through abundant caution,however. Dr.Bacigalupi sent the stomachand contents to the City Chemist foranalysis. The report of the chemist willbe received within the next two or threedays. There was a slight abrasion overthe left eye, but Ithad nothing to do withthe death.

When Cummins reached Tenth and Mar-ket streets he was ordered to stop by Mc-Grath. who got out and staggered downTenth street. Looking Into the hack.Cummins saw Hennessey lyingon his sideon the seat. He was unconscious. Thedriver notified Policemen Fraher and Till-man. who told him to drive to the Re-ceiving Hospital. Hennessey was deadwhen the hack got there.

McGrath and Hennessey attended alodge meeting on O'Farrell street Monday-night and both became intoxicated. Theyvisited several saloons and missed the"last car." finally reaching a saloon onStockton street. The bartender at thispiece put them Into W. G. Cummins' hackand told mm to take them home. ,

The body of Charles J. Hennessey Is Inthe Morgue and Henry McGrath. who wasa friend of Hennessey, Is in the "tanks"at the City Prison pending the result ofa Coroner's inquest.

At first It was thought that the UnionPacific's proposal to build was somethingin the nature of a "bluff" to prevent thecarrying forward of Senator Clark's'pro-jected Salt Lake and Los Angeles propo-sition, but communications. Itis said, thathave passed between the Rock Island andUnion. Pacific officials leave no room fordoubt that the Union Pacifle. particularlysince Its acquisition of the Southern .Pa-cific, claims the Southwestern territory asIts own peculiar field and resents the In-trusion of the Rock Island.

Ostensibly the projection of the exten-sion is to open tip valuable mineral ter-ritory In Southwestern Utah, Nevada andCalifornia, but the real purpose, accord-ing to railroad men. is the inaugurationby the Union Pacinc of a counter move-ment to a projected extension of the Chi-cago, Rock Island and Pacific road, whichhas under construction a line KS mileslong from liberal.

Bemis was apprised of his wife's deathat a saloon at 777 Market street, and hewent out to the Receiving Hospital Hedeclined to speak of the causes leading tothe woman's death. In the places whichhe frequented, the employes said that therelations of the couple were extremelyhappy. and no reason could be a-sitmedfor the action of the woman in takingpoison.

The mystery willprobably have to besClved by the police.

Some six weeks ago Beinl3 and his wifetook rooms at 305 Eddy street with thefamily of H. M. Templeton. But littlewas seen of the couple. The husbandsper.t the greater portion ofhis days awayfrom home.

Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after-noon Mrs. Berais was taken to the Tera-pleton residence from some hotel on Bushstreet. She came ina carriage and was ac-companied by a young woman who saidMrs. Bemis was ill. She was carried toher room and received such attentions asher condition seemed to warrant. Aboutfour hours later Dr. J. A. Macdonald of313 Eddy Ftreet was called In and foundher In-a state of collapse.

He administered tonics and stimulants,but as her condition did not Improve hesuggested that the woman be sent to thoReceiving Hospital. She reached thereabout 8:30 o'clock and died about twohours later without the doctors beingable to render her any assistance. Herbody was later removed to the Morgue.

At her late residence H. M. Templetonraid that nothing was known as to whereshe came from or tisa r.ame of the womanwho brought hex to the house. Temple-ton said a partially emptied pint bottleof wood alcohol was found in her valise.

WOMAN'S DEATHSEEMS PECULIAR

Buckland is a German and 37 years ofage. He claims that he was discharged

from Company E. Thirty-fifth Regiment,for insanity in October last.

John Buckland. a laborer, created a dis-turbance in the saloon at SOI Keamy

street while drunk last night, and afterbeing twice ejected returned to the saloonand fired three shot3 at close ranse at

Charles H. Harriman. the proprietor,

without doing serious damage. That Har-

riman escaped being killed is little shortof a miracle. He was leaning on the b|r,reading a newspaper, when Bucklandpushed open the swinging doors and,standing almost against tne saloon man,

drew a small-caliber revolver, and point-ing itat Harriman's head, fired.

The bullet whizzed past Harriman's faceand lodged In the wall. Again Bucklandpulled the trigeer. the leaden missile thistime tearing through Harriman's coatsleeve, but without inflicting any injury.¦Buckland backed away and. taking de-

liberate aim. nred a third shot. The lastball struck. Harriman in the abdomen

and went through his shirt and under-garments, but withno other effect than toleave an abrasion no larger than a pin-head on his skin. Buckland ran from thesaloon toward Pacific street, where Spe-cial Officer Sam Daggett tried to stop himbut was held at bay by the fleeing man,who threatened to kill him. Datrcettwatched his chance and grappled withBuckland, whom he soon overpowered.

With the assistance of Policeman Cava-naugh Daggett brought the man to theCentral Station, where he was locked upon a charge of assault to commit murder.

ESTIMATES FOB TUNNELON MONTGOMERY STBEET

A meeting of contractors was held yes-terday In the Montgomery-street ofHcescf Charles A. V.'arren to take actlcn re-garding the strike of sand and gravelwacon teamsters. Contractors Warren.O'Brien. OShea. Tuttl<?. Cray Brothers,the San Krancisco Construction Companyand the City Street Improvement Com-pany, controlling about 253 of the 300 patnlwagons in the city, were represented atthe meeting.

After a short dl=cuF=ion the contractor*concluded that the demands of the teajn-sters were without right and Impossibleof fulfillment and hence no effort to effecta compromise with the strikers will bemade. The contractors agreed to g'>ahead with their work as usual, take Innew har.ds to manage the teams and torefuse any offer to return to work thatmay be made by the strikers.

The impression was given out by thestriking teamsters that thfJr union Hadbe*n recognized by the San FranciscoTrades Council and would be taken in byth&t erranizatfen. It was stAted at them«*<?tir:s of contractors that the teamstershad b*en misled and doubtless led Intotheir present difficulty through the beliefthat tht:r union would b-e accepted by theTrades Council, which, for the present ?ltleast, if said to be without foundation.The contractors pointed out that theteamsters had but little right, by reason<"f th» natur" of th*ir emplc}*niAnt. to ex-pect to become part and parcel of theTrades Council, and though the applica-tion of the Teamsters' Union for admis-sion is now with th? Trades Council, thesame will net be acted upen for sometime.

A^i<i» from the team*tprs=" apparent lackof support the contractors point to th?fart that the teamsters— not In any senseof the word being skilled laborer.*— areraid fair waets- frcra Jl 3 to S2 a day.Thf-!r demand for I.Z- 1 diy. shorterhours and otht-r concessions will, hence.not be granted. The contractors alsoraised the point that even if before thestrike the teamsters were entitled to beheard, tneir lack of consideration for theiremployers, many of whom have contractscovering Icr.g periods ahead, no longerentitle? them to this privilege-

The brarcir.g-house plan, which is in useby some of the contractor*, is anothersource of grievance to the t"am«t?r*."While it is true that a few contractorshave boarding-houses, which, in their de-fens-?, the contractors say keep nUiny ofth<? e»s away from saloons and in a con-dition to work, all do not run these places,notably Gray Brothers: but the teamster-did not discriminate between contractorswho did or did not conduct boarding-houses. This fact, in addition to othersstated, swerved as a further Incentive forthe contractors to go ahead and ignorethe Teamsters" Union.

Many teams were running yesterday.Advertisements inserted in the dallypapers called many teamsters to laborand within the next few days the con-tractors say they will be running fullforce and the Teamsters' Union willhavelost its fipht.

The striking team drivers are awaitinga chanc in weather conditions beforephowirs: their strength. They met Inforce yesterday at their headquarters at1155 Mission street and discussed theirplans for the future. The storm prevent-ed much outside work.

Bartender Hud-son had scarcely oet the glasses on thebar when the men eave a signal. Imme-diately the door -was burst open and themarked men rushed into the place.

Half a dozen shotguns were raised to
