THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1895, W WAGING A VENDETTA, Rival Tribes of Indians at War in the Genesee Valley. FIVE REDSKINS KILLED. Fresh Murders Reported Daily by Runners From the Scene of Strife. SETTLERS ARE IN DANGER. Honey Lake Reds Threaten to Cross the Mountains and Exterminate Their Foes. QUINCY, Ca Nov. 15.—An Indian vendetta, which hasalready resulted in five waged between factions of Genesee Valley.

This is the culmination of an old feud between the Honey Lake and Indian Val- ley Indians, and the - patives around American Valley express fear that the Honey Lakes will cross the mountains and cimate their ranks. Great excitement prevailed among the Indians in Genesee and Indian valleys, according to reports brought by the last runner from that country, and it is feared that an outbreak has occurred since this runner left the seat of strife. were formerly m EXTEEKMINATING THE SEALS. Over Seven-Eighths of the Puget Sound Fleet's Catch Were Females. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Nov. 15— Enoch S. Fowler, United States Inspector skins of this port, has just com- ed an exhaustive report of his labors during the past season. Contained in this document is the official statement that of the 4014 skins taken by the Puget Sound t this season 3630 are those of females, he remainder being in the most part pups. : I‘r is the general belief among all who are interested in the subject that the final consideration of Captain Hooper’s report, backed up by the reports, which have been made in the same strain, by all the Seal Inspectors on the coast, will result in the Government passing stringent regulations which will stop sealing for at least five years. Unless this is done, it is said that three years will see the entire herd exterminated. e SANTA ANA ADVENTURE. Charles Ward’s Fight for Life With a Mad Boar. SANTA ANA, Can, Nov. 14.—Ex- Street Superintendent Charles Ward had a thrilling encounter in the willows west of this city yesterday with a wild boar. White kunting for hogs of his own, a big boar rushed suadenly upon him. Ward turned and ran, not having time to use the gun which he had with him, He stumbled and fell, and but for the presence of his two dogs the wild boar would have made short work of him. The dogs attacked the boar and drew his attention to them, giving Ward time to re- gain_ his feet.. Watching his opportunity, he {inally sent a charge of shot into the beast while it was fighting off the dogs, and it fell dead. The dogs were terribly lacerated. The boar, when dressed, weighed 326 pounds, and had tusks three inches long. g i POKT ORC RD DISASTER. The New Government Drydock Flooded by the Collapse of a Dam. SEATTLE, Wasm,, Nov. 15.—A Port Orchard special says the new Government drydock is completely submerged by water to-day, the temporary bulkhead, or cofferdam, the space for which was to have been occupied by the great gate, having given way last night. Recently the piles and timbers were re- moved, and the combined force of tide and wind became more than the dam could withstand. The water swept tons of dirt before it into the dock, doing dam- age to the amount of $20,000. The acci- dent will doubtless prolong the completion of the drydock several weeks. e Condemned the Shelby. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 15.—The sealing schooner Shelby, seized in Bering Sea, has been condemned by the court to forfeiture. Her owner sent $25 to Chief Justice Davie, who sent him to jail for a week and for- feited the money. — Bausalite’s Charitable Women. SAUSALITO, Car., Nov. 15.—A farce which two Indians | on the 23d for charity. Daniel O'Connell, the poet, will have charge of the stage, which the young ladies of this place are to decorate with greens from the hills of Sausalito. As a number of parties have engaged tugs for the occasion, the ladies expect to make the entertainment a great suecess. LEeRigeeliis "FOUND IN SANTA BARBARA. Recovery of a Tiny Watch After It Had Been Followed Across the Continent and Eack. SANTA BARBARA, Carn, Nov. 15— Two years.ago M. E. Bush of Santa Bar- bara was robbed of a tiny gold watch, smaller than a half-dollar piece, intrin- sically of considerable value, but chiefly cherished by its owner for personal rea- sons. Diligent search has been made for it ever since, not only by the local detec- tives and constabulary, but by the detec- tives all over the countrv. At onetime the little trinket was traced to Indian Ter- ritory. A week or two ago City Marshal Hop- kins heard that the watch had been brought back to Santa Barbara, and was in the bands of a person here. He tried the experiment of sending a notification to the suspect, informing him thatthe where- abouts of the article was known, and that unless it was promptly delivered into his hands the holder would be taken into cus- tody. Yesterday Hopkins received throngh the mail a tin; ed box of mysterious aspect. For s ime the officer hesi- tated to open it, fearing lest it be some de- structive missile. When he at Jast broke the seal, there lay the little watch which has been chased across the continent and awaits its back again, and which now right owner. e PASADEN'S CONVENTION.

Citizens Petition for an FElectton o Ex- tend the City Limits, LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov.. 15.—The Southwestern Association has secured the necessary 2500 signatures to the petition asking the Council to order another elec- tion to determine whether the people sre in favor of annexing to Los Angeles the districts of Rosedale, Vernon, University and Pico Heights, The names are now being compared with the great register, so that there will be no chance for the anti-annexation- ists to protest when the petition is.pre- sented to the council on Monday. Chairman Neville of the executive com- mittee of the association feels confident that annexation will carry. He says that many who voted “no” at tbe last election will vote “*ves’ this time. They have awakened to the fact thata greater prosperity in their respective districts will result from becoming a part of Los Angeles. —— DUPED BY EATON. Another Victim of the Missing Los Ange- les Caterer. LUS ANGELES, CaL, Nov. 15.—A war- | rant has been issued for the arrest of Charles Eaton, late of the Owl Buffet, for obtaining money under false prefenses. Eaton is a fugitive from justice. Just before he left he sold a half interest in his restaurant for $300. The purchaser ‘paid the money over, but received no bill of sale. Within two hours after Eaton got this money he decamfi. It is'thought that ton took between $3000 and §4000 with him. This he ob- tained from the numerous creditors he duped. A determined effort will be made to run him down and bring him back to answer for his duplicity. Eaton was one the best-known caterers and saloon-men entitled “The Arabian Nights” will be here.” He is supposed to be in San Fran- giren by the leading women of Sausalito | cisco. suing year were elected: President, Rev.- HYPNOTISM HIS PLEA Alleged Confession Said to Have Been Made by Kovalev. SAW THE WEBERS SLAIN. Tscherbakoff Charged by the Exile With Having Done the Killing. WAS FORCED TO GO ALONG Could Not Overcome thc Influence Which the Murderer Exercised Over Him. SACRAMENTO, Car, Nov. 15.—Has ivan Kovalev, the alleged murderer of aged F. H. L. Weber and his gray-haired wife, made a confession? Sacramento people have been endeavor- ing all day to answer the question. Atan early hour this morning the Bee displayed a bulletin, stating that Kovalev had made a full confession, while the Record-Union denied the statement. There seems to be little doubt that Kovaley has made a state- ment in the presence of his attorneys, in which he acknowledged thathe was in the Weber residence on the night of the mur- der in company with Matthusky Tscherba- koff. i It is said that when questioned by his Ivan Kovaley. [The Russian exile is said to have confessed that he saw the Webers murdered. Inhis alleged statement he says he was forced, by a hypnotic pouwer, to accompany the murderer. From his latest photograph.] attorney as to his whereabouts on the night of December 29, 1894, Kovalev said: “I was in Sacramento, in company with Tscherbakoff. We were i the Weber resi- dence that night, between the hours of 10 and 11 o’clock. We got into the house by way of the back stairs.” ‘When asked if he had murdered Mr. and Mrs. Weber Kovalev is alleged to have answered : S *‘That’s for you to find out.” But the story that has excited the great- est interest is one to the effect that during a conversation with Alga Gordenko, a Rus- sian woman who has displayed a great in- terest in Kovalev because of his nihilistic tendencies, he made a lengthy statement, the gist of which was that he and Tscher- bakoff visited the Weber residence on the night of the tragedy, going up the back stairs. On the rear porch they found a long- handlec ax, which Tscherbakoff took into his band and, having removed their shoes and stockings, they silently crept up the stairs. Kovalev stumbled and accidentally made a noise.; Tscherbakoff cursed him under his breath, as they heard the old man moving .inside the house, and they crouched in a dark corner of the porch, near the kitchen. 0Old man Weber came from a back room into the kitchen with a lighted candle in his band. “He is coming out,” said Tscherbakoff. Mr. Weber opened the kitchen door and stepped toward the closet. Tscherbakoff had the ax raised, waiting for him. Then he let it fall upon the skull of the unsuspecting victim. ‘Weber fell against the door and called to his wife, *“Murder,” or “I am being killea." Tscherbakoff struck him again, and the old man was silent. Then Tscherbakoff ran into the kitchen and killed Mrs. Weber. - After that they plundered the house and took the sack of money and the clothing. Kovalev excused himself for his partici- pation in the murder by saying that Tsch- erbakoff seemed to hold some kind of a mysterious power over him, and that he could not resist him. He seemed to be under some kind of hypnotic spell when- ever Tscherbakoff wanted him to do any- thing. § Major Anderson and Senator E. C. Hart, the attorneys for the defense, deny these statements absolutely, as does Mrs. Gor- denko, who, however. declines to say any- thing about what took place. District Attorney Ryan says that he has not the slightest doubt but that Kovalev made a statement as to his pres- ence in the Weber residence on the night of the murder, and that his object in so Joing was to gain the sympathy of the jury, in the hope of re- ceiving. a sentence of . imprisonment for life on the plea that, in reality, it was Matthusky Tscherkakoff who wielded the weapon that ended the earthly careers of Mr. Weber and his life partner, and that he, Kovalev,was an involuntary accessory. WARNING TO NOTARIES. Governor Bydd Announces That Their Work for the State Must Be Gratis in the Future. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 15.—The State Board of Examiners held its weekly session this- afternoon and audited the usual bills. A notary public’s charge of $1, in- cluded in the bill of the regents of the State University, drew forth a de- cided objection from Governor Budd, who- declared that ih the future if any notary charged eitker the State or its Sheriffs for affidavits he must not expect a renewal of his commission. 3 *‘Miss Todman,” said the Governor, turning to his secretary, “in the future please notify all notaries seeking commis- sions that the Governor requests that they make no charges for State business.” Tn examining the bids for supplies for the var ious State institutions it was found that there was a great difference in the prices paid; in fact it was seldom that the prices of any articles purchased by one in- stitution duplicated in amount tho prices paid by any of the others. “This fact has been brought to my at- tention so forcibly,” said the Governor, “that I have called a meeting of the vari- ous boards of directors to convene here next Friday, when we W}H try to arrange for the purchase ot supplies at the season of the year when_their price is the lowest. In this way there can be a great saving made to the State. Another thing which the board should bave jurisdiction over is the number of employes emploved. This would also result in a saving. 1f no satis- factory arrangement can be arrived at in the purchase of supplies by the various State institutions I am inclined to believe that this board wiil recommend at the ses- sion of the next Legislature that the con- tract of all these institutions be put under the management of one board, and in this way the desired result can be arrived at. I notice that an advertisement for sup- lies for the Institution for the Adult %lind that Tue CALL charges but $20, while the Oakland ‘Tribune charges $22 50. This should be looked intoand the Tribune office notified.”” The management of the State reform schools was mentioned and Secretary of State Brown gave great credit to the Whittier establishment, which had only one attendant to every six boys, while Preston had one to every four. In'Whit- tier it costs $22 per month for each inmate, "while the cost at Preston was $30. +That’s as much as it cost me to get my schooling when I was a youngster,” re- marked the Governor. 7 The Governor stated plainly that the board of directors of the Southern Cali- fornia Insane Asylum must by some means arrange to conduct the affairs of that institution without creating a de- ficiency. ALLEGE A CONSPIRACY, Sixth Agricultural Directors Ap- pear Before the Gov- ernor. Hearing of the Charges Preferred by Ex-Secretary Lewis Thorn Continued. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 15.—In an- swer to a personal request.of Governor Budd, six members of the board of directors of agricultural district 6—E. T. Wright, R. R. Brown, D. G. Stevens, J. C. Newton, George Hinds and W. H. Wiley—appeared at the Capitol to-day to answer charges which have been preferred against them by Lewis Thorn, ex-secre- tary of the board, for alleged misappro- priation of funds and an attempt to lease the grounds of the association contrary to law. The charges allege that the members voted themselves a compensation of $5 each per day during their régular monthly meeting. At the urgent request of their attorneys, J. W. Mitchell and F. A. Cattern of Los ‘Angeles, the directors who had not seen the full text of the charges until to-day were allowed a continuance until Mon- day in order that-they might be enabled: to file a formal answer to the complaint. The directors, through their attorneys, authorize the statement that they have a thorough defense to present against every charge.- In their answer they will show that the whole matter is due to ‘a conspiracy - of certain persons, _including _another director presumably Senator S. N. Androus and Attorney-General A. W. Barrett, who, al- though members of the- board, have not been included in the charges, to obtain possession and title to the Los Angeles fair grounds property. It is expected that their answer will elicit some sensational stories. 1t is claimed that the proverty which it is alleged certain persons have conspired |- to gain control of is worth $175,000, and that they expect to gain control ef it through means of a bill which they claim was hurried through the last Legislature. The directors feel confident that the Governor was 1n possession of only one side of the guestion, and that when their answer is fi?pd he will decline to take any steps toward removing them from their positions. e e RGUND MOUNTAIN'S MURDERER. Delaschmit, the Slayer of Harry Joyce, Placed Behind the Bars of the Redding Jail. REDDING, CAL., Nov.15.—Charles Dela- schmit, the murderer of Harry Ivyes at Round Mountain, yesterday, is now con- fined in the County Jail in this city, He refuses to talk of the affair, but scems to dread his coming arraignment for the crime. The prisoner is but 24 years of age. The murder was the result. of trouble over a mining claim. Delaschmit and Joyce were partners, and last week Dela- schmit sold his interest to Joyce. Itap- ears that on Wednesday Delaschmit oaded a rifle and declared that he would kill Joyce: Learning that Joyce was at work on the banks of Seamans Gulch he went there, guurreled with Joyce and shot him in the ip. Joyce staggered and ran ashort distance, but was fotlowed by Delaschmit, who again shot at the fallen man, killing him. The murderer then walked to a nearby house and told a man named Silvester that he had hurt Joyce. Assistance was se- cured and neighbors guarded the body all night until the Coroner arrived. The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was that Joyce came to his death at the hands of Delaschmit. —_—— FATE OF KENNETT AND ROEMER. One Sentenced to Ten and the Other Fif- teen Years in San Quentin, LOS ANGELES, Cin, Nov. 15—F. B. Kennett, the convicted slayer of Detective A. B. Lawson, and Frank Roemer, whom a jury found guilty of murder in the sec- ond degree for the shooting of B. M. Ullery at Downey, were brought before Judge Smith, in Department 1 of the Su- perior Court, this morning. In both cases motions for new trials had been made and argued some days ago, and to-day was the time set for the Judge to render his decision, hedenying both mo- tions. Kennett was then told to stand up, and Judge Smith imposed the full penalty that -| the law allows for manslaughter—ten years in the State prison at San Quentin. When Roemer’s turn came the court said that he did not believe the prisoner to be entirely bad at heart, and that he had robably acted hastily and without reflec- ion. The court, therefore, was disposed to be Jenient. Judge Smith then sentenced Roemer to fifteen years in San Quentin. In both casesa stay of execution until Monday morning wneduranled. The two ccnsest wili be appeal to the Supreme ourt. Port Angeles Embezzlor Sentenced. PORT ANGELES, Wasu.,, Nov. 15— Judge McClinton this afternoon, after hearing the argument for a new trial of M.

Clump’s counsel ?rt. notice of appeal to the Supreme o1 MENDOCINO A LOSER The County’s Suit Against Treasturer Ford Ends in Failure, VERDICT IN HIS FAVOR. Will Not Have to Make Good the Amount of His Shortage. DID NOT RECEIVE THE MONEY. The Jury Decides That Tax Collector Johnson Failed to Turn in a Large Sum. UKIAH, Cavn, Nov.15.—The trial of Mendocino County versus William Ford and forty-seven other defendants was to-day brought to a close. The defense rested at noon, and the afternoon was taken up in introducing evidence in re- buttal on behalf of the county. The charge of the court was very lengthy and exhaustive and presented the law on the subject very fully. - To the jury was submitted but one issue by argnment of counsel, and this was pre- sented as follows as a portion of the charge of the court: “There is only a single issue submitted for the determination of this jury, and I will read this, and from this you will de- termine what that issue is. On the 18th day of December, 1894, William Ford, as County Treasurer of Mendocino County, executed and delivered to James R. John- son, Tax Collector, a receipt for $68,012 34. “The question for you 1s this: Does this receipt include $3000 more than the Treas- urer received of the Collector 2—yes or no.” The jury, after having deliberated ten minutes, returned the answer ‘“yes,” which in effect decides that the Treasurer did not receive certain money the Tax Collector claimed to have paid him. This case is one which has gained con- siderable celebrity. Philo Handy, Under Sheriff and Deputy Tax Collector, claimed that on December 11, 1894, he paid to William Ford, the County Treasurer, $3000, for which at that time no receipt was given; that on the 18th day of Decem- ber Handy paid to Ford the further sum of $65,012 34, and that at that time a receipt was given to Handy by the Treasurer for $68,012 34, which included the ‘last pay- ment and the $3000 for which no receipt had previously been given. Shortly afterward the Treasurer discov- ered that he was short $3000 in the amount on hand. On March 22 he became con- vinced that he had erred in giving the Tax Collector credit and receipt for the $3000 alleged by the latter to have been paid on December 11, and that he had never received this amount, and he there- upon charged the Tax Collector with the shortage. The county, through the Dis- trict Attorney, brought suit to recover this amount from the Treasurer. The verdict rendered to-night holds that Ford is correct in the contention that he never received the meney. No doubt judg- ment for the defendant will be asked to- morrow morning on the verdict, and if granted the county will appeal the case to the Supreme Court. Special counsel has been retained by the Tax Collector, in the person of ex-Judge Rutledge of Sonoma County and T. i Carothers of Ukiah. The trial of the case “was one of the most stubbornly contested that has ever taken place here. BRIDGING THE STANISLAUS. South Approaches to the Steel Structure for the Valley Railroad Are Completed. STOCKTON, Car., Nov. 15.—Superin- tendent of Construction Wilbur of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad returned from the Stanislaus River thisevening. He re- ports that the south approaches to the steel bridge are completed, together with the two cnd\piem and a part of the eentral one.

ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 15.—Fears are en- tertained for the British ship Mowhan, which was sighted off the mouth of the Columbia over a week ago, and which was blown far out north- ward to.the sea by a hurricane five days ago. Nothing has been seen of the vessel. Although the gale has subsided, the wind has blown steadily from the south, and to make matters worse, a thick fog has settled down off the cpast. A tug started to meet the Mowhan the day it 'was sighted, but failed to find the ship. ———— PEACE IS DECLARED. Southern Pacific Suit Against the Corral Hollow Company Withdrawn. STOCKTON, CarL., Nov. 15.—Peace be- tween the Southern Pacific and the Corral Hollow railroad companies has ‘been de- clared. Late this evening Sydney & Buck, the local legal representatives of the Southerr Pacific, received orders from the head of the law department to ask a dismissal of the injunction suit against the Corral Hollow Company. These instruc- tions will, of course, be carried out. y A Corral Hollow gang went to French Camp to-night, and as soon as notified that ghe suit has been dismissed the cross- ing will be put in. i TR MUST LEAVE THE A. R. U. Rumored Ultimatum Submitted to Great Northern Employes. SPOKANE; Wasn., Nov. 15.—It is re- ported that the Great Northern road has issued an order directing that all employes who are members of American Railway Union sever their connections with that order and present to the company their card of withdrawal by November 18. Great Northern ofticials here deny this report, but admit that some action will be taken in reference to American Railway Union men. e o ARRESTED AT THE PRISON DOOR. A Pardoned Convict Charged With An- other Murder. PHENIX, Ariz., Nov. 15.— Deputy Sheriff F. Fairchild and R. W. Bell, of Coconino County, came in yesterday from Yuma with William Arnet, who will be taken to' Coconino County to stand trial for murder. Arnet killed a man named John Wilson in Gold Basin, Mo- jave Connty, in 1892, during a drunken row and was sentenced to the penitentiary for five years. He was pardoned Tuesday by Governor Hughes, and was immediately rearrested under the name of Tom Collins, charged with killing a man in Coconino County. The prisoner says he knows nothing of the second murder, and never knew a man named Tom Collins, which he says is not his name. —_— CARSON MINT CASE. Witness Madon Tells of Alterations Made in the Records. CARSON, NEv., Nov. 15.—In the trial of James Heney for the alleged theft of gold bullion to the value of $25,000 from the Government mint, Mason resumed the stand this morning and was handed the bullion records and computation books. A dozen or more bars were found re- corded on the computation-book and as- sayers’ certificates that were not credited or found on the refinery ledger; but wit- ness said in making his final deduction on the shortage he took all the bars into account, and that the spurious melt was not in natural order upon the records. He said the omissions in the record-rook make it impossible to trace some of the bullion or tell when it was handled. The records show that in July, 1894, 3509 ounces went to the refining-room and only 2205 ounces came back. The sul- phuric acid process was used in the mint ong{ on that date. ason said the deficiency could not have been caused by natural reasons, and to be loat in the processes was impossible. In working a large amount of gold very little could be lost through the sewers. Assayer Ellis, the next witness, ex- plained the routine work of his depart- ment and what he knew of the spurious melt. il gl THE TAMALPAIS ROAD. The Surveyors Have Completed Eleven Hundred Feet of the Way. MILL VALLEY, Car., Nov. 15.—The work of the surveyors on the Tamalpais Mountain road is almost completed. They have staked out about 1100 feet of the en- tire distance, and expect to finish running the line inside of seven days. Their work has been done under con- siderable difficulty, as the rains have made the sides of the mountam slippery and dangerous. E. B. Pond, ex-Mayor of San Francisco, was taken over the proposed route by Lovell White and Sidney B. Cush- ing. Pond, it is stated, will be a heavy owner 1n the enterprise, and it was for the pur- Eose of interesting him in the project that e was taken into the route. W. E. Coster, president of the San Fran- cisco and North Pacific Railway, said to- day that no arrangements had been made between the mountain railroad projectors and the Donahue line whereby the ter- minus of the road would be at Reeds statfon on’ the line of the San Francisco and North Pacitic Railway. HAS LONG BEEN OVERDUE, The Pacific Liner Strathnevis Not Heard From Since Leaving Tacoma. A Vessel Which Sailed Fourteen Days Later Arrived at Yokohama on Tuesday. TACOMA, WasH., Nov. 15.—The North- ern Pacific liner Strathnevis, which sailed from Tacoma on October 12, has not since been heard from &t this port. The steamer Victoria, which left here fourteen days later, arrived in Yokohama last Tuesday. Agent Pritchard says the Strathnevis may have put in at Yokohama and the news of her arrival there not sent here, or the intelligence may have been miscarried. The distance a telegram has to travel from that country to Tacoma makes telegraph- ing very uncertain and expensive. The lines may also have been out of con- dition. Mr. Pritchard says this office is usually notified of the arrival and de- parture of all the company’s steamers from Yokohama. The Strathnevis carried 125 passengers, all Chinese. O!d sea captainsdonot think she 1s in danger. A well-known ship- master said to-day: “Why. she may have only broken a blade from her propeller. That would impede her greatly. She did not set deep in the water and skimmed along like a bladder.

Had Secured a Deadly Drug by Claiming It Was to Be Given to a Dog. THE MOTIVE IS A MYSTERY. Wealth, a Good Position and Many Friends Cast Aside for the Grave. PORTLAND, Og., Nov. 15.—Harry E. Green, a nephew of John Green, the mil- lionaire president of the Portland Gas Company, committed suicide in the Porte land Hotel barroom this afternoon by taking cyanide of potassium. He was one of the most popular young society men here, notwithstanding that he had already squandered a fortune at the age of 23 years. There is a mystery connected with young Green’s suicide. He was well con- nected, had a good position and many friends, and beyond his convivial habits there was nothing in the world to discours age him, Green met Dr. Victor Smith this after~ noon and with him walked toward the Portland Hotel. As they neared the hotel Green remarked : “I’ve got to procure some poison to kill the dog down at the *sarehouse. The ani- mal has bitten me and yesterday tore my clothes. What would you advise as the best and quickest poison, Vie?”" Dr. Smith said chloroform would do the work. Both men entered a drugstore. Suddenly Green turned to hiz companion and laughingly said: “You must want to have me torn to pieces, How am I to hold that dog while the chlorotorm is taking effect? That won't do; give me something quicker.” Smith the suggested cyanide of potas- sium as the quickest-acting poison outside of prussic acid, and accordingly wrote out a prescription. The two men then left the store and separated, and Green went to the Hotet Portland barroom. Entering the saloon the young man walked up to the bar, and after conversing pleasantly with Barkeeper Kelly a few moments asked for an empty glass and a glessful of water. The two were placed before him. Into one Green poured the cyanide of potassium, and moistening it with the water drank tka contents. Staggered byithe excruciating agory pro- duced by the fearful corrosive poison in its almost instant action, Green made his way to a chair. “Good-by, Kelly. I've done it, and it's up with me,” the dying man uttered as he sank into unconsciousness and died ina few moments, At the inquest to-night nothing devel- oped to show the motive prompting Green to self-murder.

Fanned by a strong north wind it spread to the Lingo building on the east, and before the hosecartarrived the Thomp- son store building on the east and the Cal- liban residence on the west were afire. The flames then lapped over and took James Carrol's office on the south. By this time the volunteer hose company had two streams on and the fire was checked. The loss is about $5000, with but.little insurance. The Needles Market, adjoin- ing Thompson, was in imminent danger and the barn was on fire twice, but was soon extinguished.
