Grand Jury Takes Up South
Slough Assassination
Investigation.
"Whothor tbo motlvo for tho mur
der of Jacob Evans, tho South Slough
rancher who was found dead In his
homo yestorday morning by Dill
Joiner, n neighboring ranchor, was
robbery or rovongo la a question that
Is now perplexing tho nuthorltlos.
No doflnlto cluo has yet boon found.
Shorift Gago, Prosocuting Attor
ney Drown nnd Coroner WllBon In
vestigated tho Bcono of tho crlmo
thoroughly yesterday afternoon and
It was decidod to dispense with tho
usunl coronor'a Jury and tako tho
mutter immediately boforo tho grand
Jury now In Besslon nt Coqulllo.
EvnnB was shot three or four
tlinos. Thoro woro four bullet holes
but until tho post mortem examina
tion, it will bo ImpoBslbto to dotor
mlno whothur ono of tho bullots
passod through tho body, making
two wounds.
EvnnB Is bolloved to hnvo boon
killed by a 32-cnllbro revolver. Tho
slayer ovldcntly Btood to ono sldo of
thu rear door and shot Evans ns tho
Inttor responded to tho knock or
noise. Evans was lying Just Insldo
tho door, feet towards It and fnco up
ward. Ho hnd ovldontly stnggorod
back after tho first shot.
A 38-callbro revolver which Evans
cnrrled moat of tho tlmo wns lying on
n tnblo nonr whoro ho foil.
A caroful investigation of the
house failed to dlscloso any ovldonco
of pilfering. Howovor, no monoy
was found. In tho house although It
wns general known that Evans kept
consldorablo monoy nbout tho pre
mises. No monoy wns found on his
portion. A buck-Bkln purse which
Evans generally carried with a lib
oral nmount of ensh wns found on
n deHk upstairs nnd It was empty.
This might Indlcnto that tho coin
had been removed from it.
Somo havo ndvnncod tho theory
that tho slayor had boon at Evans'
Iioubo and hnd been driven out nnd
later returned nnd shot Evans
through tho door. Tholr thoory Ib
basod on tho fact that Evnns' rovol
vor was lying on tho kltchon tnblo,
Indicating that It hndd boon rocontly
usod. Thoy figured that nt tho
point of n gun, Evnns had drlvon tho
visitor awny and tho inttor stealth
ily roturncd and opened lire boforo
EvanB could got his gun.
Evnns was occontrle and had tho
roputation of having "sovornl notch
es iu his gun." Gonorally when
strnngors or In fact anyono wont to
his homo, Evnns would frst poolc
out nnd seo who It was. Then ho
would open tho door nnd almost in
variably curry a big knlfo or gun;
if n knlfo ho would protond to havo
been sharpening it and if a gun, that
ho had been wiping off tbo barrol.
This over roadlnoss on bis part for
dofense , or trouble Ib said to havo
resulted from his past escapades.
Ho was also of a rather troublesome
nature nnd frequently clashed with
employes and neighbors. Not long
ago, ho nnd Jolnor had a clash and
Evans In his anger oxprossod a
threat to kill Jolnor. Later ho mado
up and tho two, Joiner says, woro
to havo como to town together yos
torday morning,
Ho also had troublo with cm
nloves and othors recently.
Thursday night, a man from Em
pire passed by tho Tarhool logging
camp and told somo of tho raon that
ho wub going to stny all night at tho
Evans nlaco. Ho was at Tarhool
about 4 o'clock. Ho will probably bo
called as a witness in tho matter,
Ho Is Bald to llvo at Empire.
Evans wns qulto woll to do. Frod
Holllstor of North Dead who has
boon looking after somo of his mort
gages, etc., Ib Bald to have recently
Btntod that ho had botweon $9,000
and $,10,000 out on Interest. Ho
Is nlso said to havo often "planted"
his money near his homo. After ho
sold tho Shore Aero property to L.
J. Simpson, ho surprlsod tho euro
takers of It about a year later by
returning nnd going to n socludod

Owlnc to this possibility of bnvlng

"I hnvo no objection to building

planned by tho Southern Pacific If U
properly safeguarded with provisions

nnd Is built In tho location outlined
by tho now survey of that company.
This Btntomont was mado this aftor

on tho BtcnniBhlp Nairn Smith last

Dny Point.
"Personally I would profor that

bo continued, "but wo need n rail

and a halt courso for all vcbuolrt.
1'IiIb with n 160-foot span would la
no manner luterforo with commerce
nnd If, ns I hnvo previously Btntod,
tho brldgo will bo built with a pro
vision that othor roads may uso It, I
can boo no objection to Its construc
tion, and ns 1 uudorstand it will bo
built practically under tho directions
nnd approval of tho War Depart
ment." "In roforenco to tho frnnchls
which tho company doslres, that is "a
matter for careful consideration.
Cortalnly wo should not pormlt ono
or two or moro Interests to kidnap
our greatest assot, nnd that la our
waterfront. Thoro is no other incoiv
tivo ho Krcnt for other rallwayu to
build In hero ns a deolru to roach

shut off our grcatcut assot. Tina
waterfront should bo kopt forovor

Hlblo to nil roads nnd this cannot bo
dono unions it Is hold nway from tho
cixcluslvo control of any ono Intor
est. I think wo aro not far nway
from moro tlinn ono road, and it
behooves us to bo propatod for thon.,
not only with n wolcomo, but with
tho facilities that they may roqulro
for tho transaction of tholr buslucnB
bore."
"The Southorn Pacific would not
bo hnmpored it It camo down ono of
tho back streets and with Its prosont
loxtenslvo ownership of wutorfront
at tho depot win always uo amply
protected. Tho thing wo should do
now Is to protect this wntorfront and
provldo for other railways whon Uuy
seek this great hnrhor.
"I feel now, aa I hnvo felt alwayji,
that Coob Day Is some tlmo to bo tho
slto of a great city and tho oltlzon
bhould be guided In tholr actions Jty
this knowledge and belief,, I uhouid
dislike to seo tho principal business
stroot made tho right of way for a

this and nil Its provisions should bo

to tho regulation of .rates. I think
this regulation should romnln with
