THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1895. VICTORIES FOR BOTH. FURIOUS BATTLES BETWEEN CUBAY INSURGENTS AND SPANISH. AT THE HOTTEST POINT. HARDLY AN HOUR PASSES WITH- OUT SOME KIND OF AN ENGAGEMENT. NATIVES FIGHT LIKE HEROES. AWAITS RE-EN- BEFORE GOING Oct. 28.—According to d by a morning paper from Santiago de Cuba, the rebellion is now practically at its hottest point, and ngle hour passes without some ragement. With the arrival of the rcements from Havana, the regulars have been able to make some ad- , and during the week have suc- d in forcing the insurgents to relin- sh nearly all the advantageous points h they had taken in the vicinity of the city. The latter were obliged to take this course owing to the strength of the Spanish field batteries, which proved very destruc- tive. But beyond this slight success, the Spanish have not been able to make any advances and the insurgents still prac- v bave the control of the whole east than ever toward the west. The one great evil which the regulars have to face at present is the action which the insurgents have taken in putting a stop to all railroad traffic by means of bombs and mines. The dispatch says that nearly every day a train is blown up with great losses, and that raiiroad service bas practically been discontinued. Word is also received of another severe battle fought in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba on the 23d. The Cubans, who had been obliged to vacate the strong earth- works which they had estab: ed a little north of the city, took refuge in the woods near the river Pintos. They were followed by a large force of Spanish cavalry and a general engagement was brought ou. The cavalry were re-enforced by 1500 regulars, but it was impossible to bring up any of field batteries. Without these they were practically at the mercy of the insurgents, who fought with desperate bravery and who had the odds of position. The Spanish line re- peatedly charged, but suffered heavily by the rifle fire of the insurgents. Toward night they retreated across the Pintos, but renewed the struggle early next day, when they were once more driven back and forced to retreat to their headquarters at Santiogo de Cuba. Their loss was very large. General Campos has not as yet taken the field, but will do so as soon as re-enforcements are received from Spain. HAVANA, Cusa, Oct. 28.—General Gasco reports from Bayamo that, having been advised that the rebels under Maceo and Rabi in force had strongly fortified Los Negros, he ordered Lieutenant- Colonel Redon with 550 soldiers of all arms on October 6 to attack them. The rebels attempted to prevent the column from crossing, but after charges executed with great gallantry were made by the Spanish troops the rebels were driven off. The Spanish column continued its march toward Jiguani and again met the same bands of rebels at Cruz del Yarey, and a ht ensued which lasted an hour, with th It that the rebels ‘were completely dispersed, leaving on the field twenty killed and sixty wounded. The Govern- ment had one killed and twelve wounded, including four officers, The condition of the director of the Diaro de La Marina, who was seriously wounded by a negro who attacked him on the street with an iron bar Saturday night, is improving. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 17 (via Ky T, FLA.)—A party of insurgents, aided v several of the residents of the village of Hogolosongo, twelve miles from Cobre, set fire to Hongo on the 12th inst., after se ing all the arms and ammunition they could find in the place. The volunteers went with the rebels. On the banks of the Bayami River be- tween Corojo Santa Barbara, a short dis- tance from the city of Bayamo, there was a short but bloody encounter on September 22 between part of the followers of the rebel leader Rabi, under his commana, and a strong Spanish coiumn, 800 in number, under Colonel Tovar. The rebels were lying in ambush on the right and left of the road, along which the Spaniards were advancing. They allowed the vanguard, 200 in number, to pass unmolested, as well as a section of guerrillas, but when the mainy body of the column arrived, 300 of Rabi’'s men, armed rifles, opened fire from their positions and almost destroyed the main column. After the fire had lasted an hour Colonel Tovar, seeing that he was losing many men, ordered his vanguard to be re-en- forced and ordered the use of the bayonet. Rabi lost no time, but with 250 of his famous cavalrymen attacked the Spanish center and rearguard. The Spanish com- mander could not resist the attack and ordered a hasty retreat, leaving on the field forty killed anda wounded whom his men were unable to carry with them. The rebels had five killed and ten wounded and captured a quantity of arms and ammuni- tion abanduned by the Spaniards. This engagement proves how untrue was the report that Rabi and many of his men were about to surrender. JUST A PLAIN “FAKE.” No Truth in a Yarn About Two Women Being Cremated. BALTIMORE, Mbp., Oct. 28.—The story of two young married women being burned to death at Mount Winans last night, as reported by sthe Chicago Associated Press, was read with a great deal of interest to- day by the women whose charred remains were said to be reposing under tons of ashes and debris of one kind and another. 1t was a thrilling story: “The husbands were away from home; the unfortunate females were asleep in the second story of the builaing, a8 small frame residence, which caught fire from a kitchen-stove; the women were burned to deatn.” There was an element of truth in the Chicago Associated Press story. A little blaze "did light up a section of Mount Winans last night, a cottage was burned, but the only living thing in it was a home- less cat, whose pfiimive notes of‘{nrotest against being ariven out in the col i are pushing forward more rapidly | excited the sympathy of the neighborhooa, but did not in the o‘rinion of any residents give suflicient foundation for the Chicago Associated Press report that two women had been burned to Senth. e ALL THREE FATALLY INJURED. Farmer Rutherford, His Wife and Daughter Badly Hurt igp a Runaway Accident. NEVADA, Mo., Oct. 28.—This afternoon George Rutherford, wife and daughter were thrown from their wagon by a run- away team and all were fatally hurt. Mr. Rutherford is a farmer residing about five miles east of town, and was on his way home with his family. In driving off Cherry street the wheels of his farm wagon slipped along the streetcar track, throwing him out and the wheels passed over his body. The team then ran about a block farther. Mrs. Rutherford was thrown out, her clothing catching on a wheel and she was whirled around two or three times. The daughter, a grown young woman, jumped after the team had run another block and was knocked senscless. No bones were broken, but it is thought all three received internal injuries that will prove fatal. GREATEST OF DEMOCRATS, SENATOR HILL INTRODUCED AS SUCH TO AN OHIO AUDIENCE. THERE SHouLD BE No PUBLIC Tax- ATION, HE SAID, EXCEPT FOR PuBLIC PURPOSES. CLEVELAND, Omro, Oct. 28.—Senator David B. Hill of New York addressed a meeting in Sangerfest Hall to-night. Fully 12,000 people were present and great en- thusiasm was manifested. Ex-Congress- man Foran introduced Senator Hill as “the greatest living Democrat.” | Mr. Hill devoted a great part of his ad- ress to an exposition of the distinguish- in litical parties. Mr. Hill opened his discussion on the tariff with the statement that this was not | a paternal Government, as Republicans understand it to be, and that it had no | constitutional right to enter into partner- ship with individuals to promote their | business interests. | “The Democratic position on this subject | can be readily understood by every man, woman and child; it is there should be no public taxation except for public pur- poses.” Before addressing the Cleveland meet- ing the Senator spoke at Elyria this after- noon. e~ WITH A CARGO OF TURTLE SOUP. Result of the Oruise of a Schooner in Southern Waters. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 238.—Loaded up to her deckbeams with cans full of green turtle soup, pompano and guava jelly the little two-masted 19-ton American schooner Gracie T anchored in the upper bay yester- day after a cruise of six months in West Indian waters. A curious feature of this very curious cargo is that it was all manu- factured on board the schooner and there- fore is not supposed to be subject to duty. Therein lies the secret of the original ex- edition planned months ago by Benjamin Wood of Pine street and his associates. They expect to undersell the importers. When the Gracie T left New York on April 10 last she was fitted-up as a floating cannery. A chef was taken along to over- look operations and the rest of the party regular crew of the vessel, under Captain Wilber. One hundred and fifty thousand { empty cans were put aboard, the vessel was provisioned and her sails were spread i she started on her queer errand. She ied a small cargo of calico and cheap goods to exchange for guavas or game wherever a profitable trade could be ar- though Captain Wilber relied on his crew for the cargo the Gracie | T was toobtain. After leaving port little was heard of the Gracie T until she returned to New York yesterday. She has been cruising along the coast of Costa Rica, and her crew for months have been engaged in capturing huge green turtles and converting them into soup and canning it. The meat also was preserved. The chef looked aiter this, and also superintended the manufacture of guava jellies. Captain Wilber was greatly pleased yesterday over the success of the undertaking. The cargo will prob- ably be landed to-day. —_— ANTI-TOXINE FOR LOCKJAW. Williamsburg Physicians Interested in the Experiment. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 28.—Williams- burg physicians are watching with great interest the result of anti-toxine admini tered in a case of lockjaw. The victim is Joseph Revere, 12 years old, of 38 Metro- politan avenue, and he was still in a criti- cal condition yesterday from tetanus, or ockjaw, due to blood-poisoning, the result of a kick by a horse two weeks ago, Late Saturday night when it was thought the boy was likely to die in one of the fre- quent spasms which attacked him, a bottle of anti-toxine, specially prepared for cases of tetanus, was procured from Dr. Gibier of the Pasteur Institute in this city. It was atonce administered with hypodermic injections of morphine, and yesterday the spasms had become less frequent. The attending surgeons from St. Catherine’s Hospital had some hopes of saving the lad’s life. After the accident the child was taken to St. Catherine’s Hospital, where the wound was dressed. Thence he was sent to his home. On Friday last the spasms began and on Saturday, when water was offered him, the boy foamed at the mouth and acted so wildly that a number of physicians were called in. They deter- mined on the use of anti-toxine as a last resort. —_ CAPTAIN BECK VICTORIOUS. Acts of His Indian Police Sustained by a Court Decision. LINCOLN, Ngge., Oct. 28.—Judge Shiras in the United States District Court of Nebraska, acting for Judge Dundy, handed down his decision to-day in the case of the Indian police matter at the Winnebago Indian Agency, near Pendar, this State. The Indian police were employed by Act- ing Agent Beck in evicting theisettlers on the Klournoy lands. They arrested Wil- liam H. Garratt and John F. Myers, and application was made for a writ of habeas corpus for the release of these men on the ground of illegal arrest. Judge Shiras beld that these Indian policemen were not strictly United States deputies, but as the writs had been placed by the agent in their hands for service he held that their actions in arresting Myers and Garratt were legal and hence the apvlication for the writ was denied. This is another clear victory for Captain Beck. I S Suicide of a Veteran. WATERTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 28.—Dr. J. B, Carpenter, one of the wealthiest citizens of Gouverneur and a brother-in-law of ex- Governor Flowver, locked himself in a closet this morning, shot himself in the side and died instantly. He had been in poor health for years, and it is thougnt he became temporarily insane from suffering. world 1 Dr. Carpenter was a veteran of the war, lifferences between the two great po- | | consisted of six expert canners and the | PACIFIC COAST NEWS, FLINT URGED TO CONTEST FOR THE LIEUTENANT- GOVERNORSHIP, MAY MAKE THE RACE.

LOS ANGELES, Car., Oct. 28.—Gov- ernor Budd has entirely recovered from the fatigue of his journey to Los Angeles, although he is not a well man by any means. To-day the gubernatorial party was driven over the city, and this after- noon was at Mount Lowe. The Governor may go in the morning to San Diego, having been invited to make a visit. He | | | and closed the door with his elbow. The doorsnapped with aspring lock. A minute afterward the shooting occurred. There was no loud talk preceding this, only some mumbling, which he took to be Kennett's voice. Two shois came close together, then a single shot. He heard a deep roan, and when he opened the door his father was dead. L——— SUKRENDERED ITS CONTRACT. Main Street Will Not Be Paved by the Union € LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 28.—The Union Paving Company, through its presi- dent, F. M. French, to-day notified the City Council that it would not fulfill its contract by paving Main street. The reasons given by the company were that the proceedings were faulty and incom- plete and that the outcome of the case which is Dow in the Supreme Court is uncertain. Under this State of affairs it contends that the assessment made to pay for the work couid be resisted. The company asked that the proceedings be abandoned. The Council = thereupon ordered all proceedings abandoned and instructed the clerk to advertise for new bids. This was the largest paving contract | ever awarded on the coast, involving an | expenditure of ver $150,000. MANAGER FEAWLEY'S VICTORY. ZLady Douglas Not Enjoined Upon Her Appearance in Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES, CaALn., Oct. 28.—The evening papers were full of the impending injunctions that were to be served on Man- ager Frawley and Lady Sholto Douglas to prevent the latter's appearance at the Burbank Theater to-night. As a conse- uence the theater was packed to the oors. Manager Frawley, anticipating trouble, advertised Lady Douglas to appear between the third and fourth acts, smuggled her ladyship early in the evening through the HON. THOMAS FLINT, PRESIDENT OF SENATE. [From a photograph by Hodson.] THE CALIFORNIA STATE will return to San Francisco by steamer. The Governor will discuss no State busi- ness. A dispatch from Fresro Saturday night to the effect that the Governor had been upbraided by Senator Pedlar and others during his stay there because of the ap- pointment of Jeter is denied. Fresno people this morning sent the following message to the Governor by wire: The reception to Governor Budd was most cordial. He and his wife were recipients of handsome floral tributes, and the discussion on public matters was in every friendly. A. J. PEDLAR. M. W. MULLER. 8. 8. WRIGHT. Prominent Republicans are urging Hon. Thomas Flint to take the oath of office as Lieutenant-Governor before one of the Superior Judges of this county, but he has not yet acted. Should he do so there will be two men claiming the office of Lieutenant-Governor. He refuses to be interviewed on the matter, but the foeling here is such that his friends may eventually force him into some such action. ——— 01L FOR THE STANDARD. | The Big Corporation Forced to Buy From Local Producers. LOS ANGELES, GAn., Oct. 28.—The Standard Oil Company has at last made a move in this field and succeeded in pur- chasing a large amount of oil. W. C. Mil- ler, the Pacific Coast manager for the cor- poration, to-day made a purchase from the Oil Exchange at a very profitable tig- ure for the producers, and it is a matter of congratulation to the oil men here that they are in such a well-organized shape that, notwithstanding the enormous cap- ital and influence of the Standard Com- any, no individual producer could be induced to break over the lines, and the company was forced to go to the Exchange to get its fuel. The sale was consum- mated at 4 o’clock this afternoon. One instance of the widespread interest the Los Angeles oil fields are exciting is shown by the following letter received to-day by Sscretary Willard of the Cham- ber of Commerce from Morgan Brothers’ Company, founders, machinists and boiler- makers of Seattle, Wash.: *We understand you have a large amount of crude petroieum for which you are hunting a market. We contemplate using such for fuel in heating furnaces in our shipyard, ‘provided we can lay it down here at a reasonable figure. Will you kindly put us in correspondence with the proper people in this line? We should like some information as to tne value of your oil for fuel as compared with the best coal.” —_—— HOW LAWSON WAS KILLED. Testimony of Witnesses in tha Trial of : Murderer Kennett. LOS ANGELES, Carn., Oct. 28.—The prosecution opened this morning in the Kennett murder trial with Deputy Sheriff Dennis Kearney on the'stand. Mr. Kear- ney was a brother-in-law of Detective Law- son, and was in the office at the time of the shooting. He testified to having heard the shots, when he rushed into the rear office door. Kennett opened it, the smoking pistol in his hand, and surren- dered himself, admitting that he had }txl{ezj‘anson. Kearney then lodged him in jail. .A. B. Lawson, a son of the deceased, tes- tified that he was in the office at the time of the shooting. He saw Kennett enter the outer office. He wasin a jovial mood and sat joking with some of ‘the young men in J.Wg.Kemp’s office. His father came in and Kennett asked to have a few moments' conversation with him. Law- son replied “Certainly” and the two stepped in the outer office. Kennett had his right hand in the pecket of his coat WAY 1008t | scene door, barricaded the stage door and had Lady Douglas appear between the first and second acts of “The Ensign.” His maneuvers circumvented the enemy, as the servers of the expected enjoining papers did not materialize. T REGRET MILLARD’S DEATH. Resolutions of Respect Passed by the Los Angeles Bar Association. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 28.—In De- partment 4 of the Superior Court this morning the committee appointed at the bar meeting last Saturday to draft appro- priate resolutions of respect to the mem- ory of the late Lieutenant-Governor Mil- lard presented its report. The resolutions paid a touching tribute to the life and career of the deceased and his sterling qualities, and the sad event of his long sickness and his death while upon the threshold of a brilliant and hono:=- able career in public life were gracefully alluded to. TOUCHED A LIVE WIRE, A STOCKTON LINEMAN RECEIVES FRIGHTFUL BURNS AND INJURIES. SHOCKED INTO INSENSIBILITY, HE Farrs FroM A TALL PoLE TO THE GROUND. STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 28. — William Hinthurn, a lineman in the employ of the Sunset Telephoue Company, had a thrill- ing experience with a live wire this after- noon. He ascended a telephone-pole at the corner of Hunter street and Weber avenue to make repairs, and failed to no- tice that a wire on the electric light sys- tem had been crossed with the telephone wire and was resting upon the cross-arm of the pole. He threw one leg over the cross-arm and in some way came in con- tact with the live wire. People in the vicinity were first apprised of Hinthurn’s position by two terrible screams from the unfortunate man. Look- ing up they saw him fall from the cross- arm directly across the wire, and he seemed utterly unable to release himself. People near by heard him utter afew moans, and ran to render him any assist- ance possible; but in a few ‘seconds his limp body slid down from the network of wires and fell to the hard cobblestones, thirty feet below. He was picked up ap- arently dead, and a hasty examination Ey a physician showed that his leg was broken and his hipbone fractured. His clothing was burned and his hands liter- ally roasted. = inthurn regained consciousness through the application of restoratives and was taken to his home on East Weber ave- nue. He presented a pitiable sight. His face was scarred and bleeding and he seemed to be in the agony of death while being conveyed home in a hack. In spite of all this he was resting easily this even- ing and hopes for his ultimate recovery are entertained. —_— Kovalev's Trial Continued. SACRAMENTO, OCaL, Oct. 28.—The trial of Ivan Kovalev, accused of the Weber murders, set for to-day, was continued to December 19, in order that Captain Lees, now attending the Durrant trial, may be present. Kovalev lately acted as though attempting the insanity role, but the jail attaches joked him into a pleasant mood and he has seemingly abandoned his in- tentions. His, attorneys claim that they can “establish his innocence beyond a | doubt. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, PEACE QUICKLY RESTORED IN THE CEUR D'ALENE COUNTRY, MILITIA NOT NEEDED. DISTURBING ELEMENTS COWED BY AN IMMEDIATE SHOW OF FORCE. CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD. UnioN MEN DENY THE CHARGE THAT THEY THREATENED NonN-UnNioN MINERS. SPOKANE, WasH., Oct. 28.—The threat- ened trouble in the Cceur d’Alenes ap- pears to have been nipped in the bud. All is quiet now and the citizens in the min- ing towns seem to think that trouble will not result. Public sentiment is strong in favor of crushing out any lawlessness and the officials declare that the time hascome when men must be protected in honest work. When the special train from Mullan reached Wardner last night 300 arzied men responded to the bugle blast and waited for the order to march to the mines. As there was no trouble the order was not given. Colonel Morrow mustered in a company of militia at Mullan to-day, many being miners. Members of the Miners’ Union declare that their committee did not order the men in the Hunter mine to join the union or leave the country. Citizens declare they did and that the threat was not car- ried out because of the prompt show of re- sistance on the-part of the officials. Itis believed this will have a salutary effect, by showing that the first attempt at violence will be immediately put down by armed forces. Superintendent Curran of the Hunter mine said to-day: “A committee called upon me on Fri- day and wanted to know if I had any objections to its members talking with men employed in the mine. I told them no. They then went up to the mine. The next day, while I was away on business, the committee went up to the mine again. When I returned I went up to the mine and told them that the mine was of low- grade ore and I could not afford to have the men kept from their work and that I thought the one visit granted them was sufficient fo transact their business, I then ordered them off the premises. “On Saturday afternoon Mr. Boyce called on me and asked if I had any objec- | tions to my men joining the union. I re- plied that all the men employed in the mine were free to act for themselves, as any free American citizen should be—that I had no strings on them.” State Senator Edward Boyce, National organizer of the Federation of Miners, who accompanied the committee from the Miners’ Union that waited upon the men in the Hunter and Morning mines, made the following statement to-night: *The members of the committee, seven in number, called upon the miners at the Hunter mine on Friday and solicited them to join the union. At that time Superin- tendent Curran ordered them off the prem- ises. On Saturday the committee, accom- panied by myself, went to the Morning mine. I asked Superintendent Larson if he had any objections to our interviewing the men, and he said he had nothing to say one way or the other. We then so- licited them to join the union, showing them the benehts of organized labor and telling them we would keep the hall open from 3 o'clock to 8:30 p. M. on Sunday, in order to give both the day and night shifts an opportunity to join. We then returned to town, where we heard that Superintendent Curran would not allow any of his men to join the union. I went to interview Mr. Curran, and told him we had heard that he had said that any of his employes who joined the union would be discharged, and asked him if it was so. He said: ‘I don’t give a d—n what they join.’ That ended the interview. “‘On Saturday evening, after the inter- view with Curran, we talked with the men again. They said that on Friday he had told them that if they joined the union they would be discharged, and on Satur- day had informed them he would not work a mixed crew, but wanted them all to join the militia, as he could get plenty of guns from Governor McConnell. The best of good nature prevailed, and some of the members of the committee took dinner with the workmen at the Morning mine. Of the committee of seven all nationalities were represented. We are going to repeat this action rightalong, peaceably soliciting men to join the union, and this is the only warfare we intend to wage.” A man named Edlund was found on the railroad track a short distance from the Gem last night badly beaten and bruised. He said he met some men who asked ,him where he was going. He told them he was from Montana and was going to get work in the mines. They asked if he was a union man and he said no. They said he must join the union if he expected to get work, They went away, and in a few minutes returned and beat him, robbing him of all he had. There is no proof that the robbing was done by union men except the man’s own statement. MAJOR ORK'S SHORTAGE. Bondsmen Desire a Further Experting . of the Books. STOCKTON, Cax., Oct. 28.—There have been no new developments to-day in re- gard to the recent discovery of the defalca- tions of Major Orr, secretary and treasurer of the State Insane Asylum Board. H, H. Hewlett, one of Major Orr’s bondsmen, is quoted as saytng: “The Major is so muddled that he does not know where he stands. We do not know yet how much he is short, as no ex- pert has vet made an examination of the books in his behalf, When we are satis- fied from the report of some expert ap- pointed by us, no doubt the bondsmen will ay whatever shortage is found to exist. }I)’he bondsmen have not had any consulta- tion regarding the matter.” Attorney Louttis, the legal adviser of the asylum board, is waiting for further instructions from Attorney-General Fitz- gerald beifore taking any action in the matter of authorizing the demand to be made upon the ex-Treasurer. These in- structions he expects to receive to-day. A R Company B Election. STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 28.—Company B, Sixth Regiment, Captain Simpson, held an election for lieutenants this evening, Lientenant Elliott was re-elected and Charles Dasher was made second lieu- tenant in place of Charles A. Merrill, re- signed. S ARt ELOPED AND WERE WEDDED. 4 Runaway Couple From Jackson United by a Stockton Justice. STOCKTON, CaL., Oct. 28.—Miss Roxina Trevaskies and John Rosovich, better known as John Rose, eloped from Jackson, Amador County, and were married here by Justice Parker, at the residence of Charles H. Townsell. When securing the license Rosovich gave his age as 21 and that of his prospective bride as 18, Their ages were in reality 20 and 17. Their names were given as John Rose and Roxina Travehes. The youthful groom is a son of Stephen Rosovich of Jackson Gate, and the bride a daughter of John Trevaskies of the Ken- nedy mine. For several days an officer from Amador County has been hovering about Justice Parker’s Court looking for the runaways. When Parker was asked to marry the youthful Amador couple he as the license was in order and showed the contracting parties to be of age, he could not do otherwise than unite them in mar- riage. After the ceremony Rosovich admitted that they had driven from Jackson in order to keep ont of sight. PORTLAND'S BAD DUELIST DR. AUSPLUND ON TRIAL FOR THE SHOOTING OF DR. HOLMES. DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR OF HONOR RELATED FROM THE Wrr- NESS-STAND. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 28.—Dr. A. Aus- plund, who on August 16 engaged in an impromptu duel with Dr. H. H. Holmes in which both were wounded, the affra; growing out of maliclous gossip concern- ing a woman doctor, is being tried in the criminal court charged with a felonious assault. On the witness-stand Holmes related in detail the facts of the shooting. Aus- plund came to his office in the Dekum building and wanted a retraction of cer- tain statements alleged to have been made by the witness reflecting upon Ausplund. Holmes showed the position of the two when the shooting bezan. He said Aus- plund had the drop on him and held his revolver in his lap, halt-concealed by a paper. Dr. Holmes, in answer to questions of the jurors, described his sensations on re- ceiving the bullets. He thoucht at first he had been shot through the heart. One bul- let struck him above the knee, and it felt as though the bones between the kree and ankle had been shattered by the charge. Holmes testified that he bore no personal animosity toward Ausplund, such as would lead him to shoot.
