Tuesday, April 17, 1906 Page 6 DAY OF DEATHS AND ACCIDENTS Davisville Section Selected By Fate Monday To Receive The Grim Reaper And To Suffer Sorrow DAVISVILLE (Yolo Co.), April 17 - The day following Easter was seemingly an off one for this community. First, Elmer HARRINGTON, a young man who resides with his parents in this city, lost the end of the index finger of his left hand while holding to the handles of a big road plow that was breaking up the roadbed for grading. About 4 o'clock came the news of the death of Charles BECKER, an old resident of Northern Solano, at his home three miles southeast from Davisville. He was about 80 years of age. He butchered in Sacramento in the latter 50s, and was there during a big fire. Later he removed to Berryessa Valley, and about 1864 settled on the land where he died, having accumulated a large estate. About 4:30 o'clock Arthur BRUNSON, who is employed in the shops of the Schmeiser Manufacturing Company as a machinist, while engaged repairing a belt hammer, was floored by a blow from the pitman of the hammer, it making a revolution from some unknown cause. He was unconscious for an hour or more, but is now doing well. At 5 o'clock Mrs. Deborah Alida PUGH died at her home in this city after an illness dating over a period of several months, her affliction being catarrh of the stomach and bowel. She and her husband, David PUGH, resided at Swingles Station many years. He died a little more than a year ago at the Sisters' Hospital at Sacramento. Mrs. Susan MONTGOMERY, aged 78 years, and one of the very old settlers here, was laid to rest in the local cemetery Sunday. She crossed the plains in 1854. She and two other women of the same train were attacked with cholera. The other two succumbed but she survived, only, however, to be taken down with typhoid fever. In the same house was a male member of the train stricken with the same disease. The man died, and she again recovered. She was the mother of fifteen children, eleven of whom survive her. Together with a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her husband, Alexander MONTGOMERY, died in 1884 at Woodland. Her funeral was largely attended. Decision Modified WOODLAND (Yolo Co.), April 17 - Judge GADDIS filed a modified decree yesterday in the case of Nettie ANDERSON vs. Frank ANDERSON. In the original decree, as was published in The Bee, Mrs. ANDERSON is denied a divorce, but was awarded $50 for her support and $12.50 for each of the two children. In the modified decree the wife is not allowed any support, but she is to receive $25 for each of the two children. The modified decree is a result of a decision to which the Court's attention was called since the case was decided. It states that where a wife abandons her husband a judgment for separate maintenance is unwarranted and will be reversed. ANDERSON will probably appeal the case. Sold to Kleinsorge LODI (San Joaquin Co.), April 17 - An important business deal was consummated here Saturday when the interests of E. OPPENHEIM and the Openheim Fruit Company were purchased by H. KLEINSORGE, of Sacramento. The deal includes the largest store in Lodi, the immense packing sheds at Lodi and Woodbridge, and all Mr. Oppenheim's interests at Florin. Mr. OPPENHEIMER will install a substation of the American River Power Company at Florin and Elk Grove. St. John's Rector REDDING (Shasta Co.), April 17 - As already told in The Bee, Rev. A.L. MITCHELL, of Redding, has been elected rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Marysville, one of the oldest parishes in the State. Rev. MITCHELL came to Redding from Ferndale last October and has given excellent satisfaction in this city. St. John's, in Marysville, is a much more important charge than that of Redding, and although the parishioners here regret to see Mr. MITCHELL leave, they rejoice that he is promoted. He leaves to-day for Marysville. Gasped and Died OAK (Shasta Co.), April 17 - Frank GEYER, of this place, attended Easter services at Redding Sunday, drove home in the afternoon, unhitched his horse, went into the parlor of his father's house, sat down in a chair, gave one gasp and died. He had not complained even of feeling unwell. Heart trouble is the assigned cause of his sudden passing. He was a fleshy man and was aged 27 years. The funeral took place this morning from the Catholic Church in Redding, where he attended Easter devotions Sunday. House Owned by Sacramentan Burns HONCUT (Butte Co.), April 17 - The residence on the WOOD place, one mile east of this town, burned to the ground last evening. The fire started in the attic of the kitchen, while supper was being cooked. J.F. VANCE and family resided there and discovered the fire soon after it started. They devoted their attention to fighting the flames for some time, so that when they decided to try to save the furniture, the fire had attained such headway that but little time was left to save household effects. They got an organ and some bed clothing out, but lost several hundred dollars worth of furniture. The building was owned by Mrs. A.E. WOOD, of Sacramento, and valued at $2500. It was completely destroyed, and no insurance was carried unless it had been places within the past two weeks. There was no insurance on the contents. Wants to Lose Head and Heart OROVILLE (Butte Co.), April 17 - George CARLSON, a native of Norway, standing over six feet in his stocking feet, was brought down from Berry Creek by Deputy Sheriff DUBOSE and a charge of insanity placed against him. When the Court House was reached it took six men to land the giant in the padded cell, so violent had he become. He was at once placed in a straitjacket. Carlson has an idea that if he could get rid of his head and his heart he would be all right. He was examined before a Commission in insanity and pronounced insane and committed to the asylum at Napa. This is the sixth laborer in the Western Pacific camps up the river who has gone insane. Seeks Freedom OROVILLE (Butte Co.), April 17 - Fannie ROBE has brought suit for divorce against H.J. ROBE. Both parties are residents of Chico and were married in Reno, Nevada, May 22, 1900. Plaintiff alleges that the defendant deserted her at Stirling City in June, 1905, without provocation, and since then has neglected and refused her with the necessaries of life. New Town Board Assumes Control WHEATLAND (Yuba Co.), April 17 - The old Board of City Trustees met last evening for the last time, and put the finishing touches on a successful year's labor by paying off all bills and then turning their books over to a new Board, which was organized an d sworn in at the same meeting.

REICHERS was elected Chairman of the new Board, after which he made some appropriate remarks and then entered at once on the order of business by appointing the following officers and Committees: A.K.

It required the affirmative vote of Mayor HALL to decide in favor of the petitioner, Edmund WALS. The latter will now occupy the two-story frame building recently erected by him at the northeast corner of First and Oak Streets, in the tenderloin district. The petition of Bruce SUTLIFFE for the removal of his saloon business from the corner of Third and B Streets to an addition recently made to the DAWSON HOUSE, was granted by a unanimous vote of the Council, all the property owners in the half block adjacent to the new site signing the petition of SUTLIFFE. JUDGE NILON DOESN'T SUIT Home And Champion Mining Trial Date Set, And Latter Company Suggests An Outside Judge NEVADA CITY (Nevada Co.), April 17 - It will not be long before the great legal battle between the Home and the Champion Mining Companies will be under way. Superior Judge NILON yesterday set the date for May 1st. The Champion's attorney immediately filed notice on County Clerk ARBOGAST, requesting him to communicate with Governor PARDEE, asking that an outside Judge be sent to preside, alleging that the health of Judge NILON would not permit him to sit through the case, which promises to be long and very complex. Judge NILON being able to be in Court yesterday, the County Clerk refused to do as requested. The suit will be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in the history of mining in this county, as it involves virtually the life of one of the mines in question, the dispute being over the ownership of the ledge which both companies were working when their underground forces came together. Miner Injured GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), April 17 - Henry STUART, an employe at the Union Hill Mine, lost one thumb yesterday and part of the other through an accident. He was adjusting a shooe in the battery at the mill, when the ponderous steel stamp dropped, though it was supposed to be held safely, amputated his right thumb at the base and fearfully crushing the left. Dr. JONES, who attended the injured man, hopes to save part of the left thumb. STEWART resides on the verge of town. Rocklin Man Dead ROSEVILLE (Placer Co.), April 17 - Jeremiah Cash GIVENS, an old and respected resident of Placer County, died yesterday morning at his son's home at Rocklin, aged 76 years.
