Nick of Time.
Little three-year-old Perry Clarke
and his father, Francis II. Clarke,
narrowly escaped a watery grave
lust night, and that they are living
today la duo to the hciolc efforts of
Frank Smith, superintendent of the
Coos river fish hatchery; John
Shook, and an old-tlmo sailor named
Mitchell from Myrtle Point.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, with their
family went up Coos river yesterday
morning for a day's outing, and
started back on the launch Tioga
In tho evening. Mr. Clarke was sit
ting In one of the chairs on the rear
deck and tho little boy, Perry, was
standing near him. In some man
ner Mr. Clarke lost his balance 'and
went overboard. Tho child fell over
also, and it Is thought he must have
been holding to the chair, as Mr.'
Clarke was not aware that any one
but himself had fallen in the river.
Smith's Quick Work.
As the boat was going down
stream it gained several feet before
Frank Smith, who was running it,
could take action. The cries of the
mother conveyed the full purport of
the danger to him and he did the
only thing under the circumstances
running the noso of tho boat into
the bank of the river. Ho then
jumped ashore and ran down oven
'with the spot where tho child had
disappeared under the water for tho
third and last time. The little boy
was about twcity-flvo feet from the
shore. Smith, with all his clothes
on, jumped Into the river and, swim
ming to where tho child wad; reached
down and brought It to the surface.
The little fellow had taken In quite a
goriu deal of water and was uncon

;When Smith, .started, after- the
clUJd John Shook', who' was, on the
launch, unloosened the,-ts'mrlUjJboit
which was on the forward deck 'and
paddled up stream lo.fhe spot where
thejj boy had gone downJ , Just as
Smith clutched -"th'o Jfttfe fellow' and
brought him to tho surface. Shook
camo up with tiie 'boat, and Smith
laid the child in- it and climbed in
also. The boat was then rowed
back to the launch.
, .Father's Attempted Rescue.
When Francis Clarke fell over
board he struck 'out for the shore,
about fifty feet away, but when with
in a few feet of t the cries from tho
boat attracted Tilm and, turning
around in the water, ho saw his little
boy's danger and started to swim
back to save him. It was apparent
from his efforts, that the water
soaked condition of his clothing was
beginning to Impede his efforts, for
his scrokes began to show the effects
of' exhaustion. Frank Smith called
t& him that he would save tho child
and Mr. Clarke, Seeing that Smith
was'nearer to hhvaon than he, again
turned toward' tho shore. To every
one, on the boat (IJ was apparent that
tho father's strength was beginning
to' wane, as ho made no perceptible
progress, only keeping his head
above the water. It was then that
the "climax to that evening's record
of heroic deeds was reached. .
Mitchell's Swimming Feat.
An old-tlmo sailor, named Mitchell,
from Myrtle Point, saw Mr, Clarke's
Imminent peril, and not waiting to
discard any clothing, jumped into
thq jjwater and, with long, steady
strokes, pulled to tho rescue of tho
struggling swimmer. It is believed
that ho reached Mr. Clarke in the
nick; of time, for tho latter was about
spent, when, aided by the strong
arms of Mitchell, he was assisted

Frank Smith and John Shook, with
little Perry Clarke, rowed to the

Over riding Objections From the
Defense Judge Dunne Disquali
fies Sheriff In Charge Jury
LAWYERS HAVE WORDS
Attorney Ileney Threatens to Send
Barrett to Jail for Objec
tionable Language.
San Francisco, June 4. The jury
was completed this afternoon for the
trial of Mayor Schmitz on tho first
of the five Indictments returned
against him by the Oliver grand jury,
by which he is accused jointly with
Ruof of extortion from the French
restaurants. Judge Dunne, upon
motion of the prosecution and over
the determined and spirited objec
tions of tho defense, formally dis
qualified Sheriff O'Neil and Coroner
Walsh as unfitted by, personal b'las
to perform any functions In connec
tion with the trial, and appointed
William J. Biggy, elisor, to have
charge of the jury until the verdict
had been rendered or a disagreement
reached. Shortly after the adjourn
ment Biggy marched the jury to the
St. FrauJtls Hotel, where it will be
kept uiufpr lock and key all the time
it is no't sitting In the trial. Judge
Dunne has decided tho jurors shall
have no newspapors to read until all
articles l elating to the casehave
been censored. They "may receive no
general mall nor be communicated
with "by their families except undo?
scrutiny of tho elisor. The State
hopes to put all its evidence in this
week.
Tho defense fought tho appoint
ment of Biggy as elisor "Because he
is part and parcel of the prosecu
tion," and because he employed De
tective Burns, "Than whom no man
Is more zealous for the conviction of
this defendant." Judge Dunne re
plied that he had no confidence in
the Sheriff's office, but he did fin
Biggy. He said ho knew if Biggy1
had charge of the jury It would jbe
subjected to no outside influence.1
"That is jus$What we want to jbe
sure of," retprted Campbell of the
counsel 'ior'defonso. li ij
"That," isneered Johnson, of tho
prosecution, '"Is evident from tho con?
duct of the., defense." f t
"But It is not evident from thtj
conduct of thq,Statej"j was tho sVft
rejoinder,
"We do not forget," Interjected
Barrett, one of the Mayor's attor
neys, "that you have-money batnd
you."
"Thank heaven this is not dirty
money," retorted Johnson.
"Now," said Heney, rising in
wrath, "I am goings tp ask your
honor to commit Darret to jail for
contempt if ho does not cease his
slurring Interruptions of this pro
ceeding. I "
"This court, I take it, Is not going
to send mo or anybody to jail at the
behest or to suit the purposes of
Heney," observed Darrett.
"Both of you take your seats,''
commanded Dunne.
At which, complained Heney point
ing his finger at Darrett, "He's been
talking all afternoon I haven't had
a chancp to talk at all."
"And naturally ihat pains you,"
soothed tho Mayor's lawyer, wjth
wliom wa"s the laugh.
Judge Dunne ended the discussion
by saying ho would instruct Biggy
not to employ any ono connected
With tho prosecution or tho defenso
unless he employed both. The Judge
said he did not care how many pep-,
pie watch the eljsor, but ho did not
propose to have anyone except tho
elisor watch the jury."

family had been reunited again the
boat Tioga was held and all repaired
to a nearby ranch, where dry cloth
ing was secured for the Httlo boy
and Mr. Clarke, Tho boat then con
tinued toward the bay, arriving at
Marshfleld about 8:30 o'clock.

Boise, Juno 4. Through James
H. Hawley, senior of the group of
prosecutors, tho State or Idaho to
day made the opening statement
against Haywood, and then began a
presentation of the testimony by
which it hopes to prove the indict
ments laid against him. The open
ing statement was a broad, sweeping
arraignment of tho leaders of tho
Western Federation of Miners who
wero charged with plotting whole
sale murders, and hiring assassins,
all in a gigantic conspiracy of ven
geanco upon those who obstructed
their sway; to destroy the opposition
by terrorism, to control the political
destinies of communities covered by
tholr organization and to perpetuate
their own power within tho organi
zation. It charged a widespread
conspiracy, dating its inception from
the north Idaho disturbance fifteen
years gone, reaching down to the
murder of Steunenberg and whoso
murdered victims, by bullet and
bomb, numbered scores.
Hum ley's Hitter Arraignment.
Hawley declared whenever In the
mining sections of the coast States
the Federation had been In control
there had been left a trail of blood
to mark its operations. Of the
hired assassins he cried, "To them
