THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, DECEMBEKR 2, 1895, 3 POLICY OF GERMANY. Attitude Toward Turkey Has Given Salishury a Shock. SHIPS FOR THE LEVANT. The Kaiser Regarded an Increase of Guard Boats at Constanti- nople as Inopportune. ITALY AND AUSTRIA IN ACCORD. Three Powers. That Will Oppose All Efforts to Break Up the Ottoman Empire. BERLIN, GerMany, Dec. 1.—Without aiming at or in the slightest degree d ing to rebuff the policy of the British Gov- ernment to exert urgent pressure upon the Sultan of T v, the diplomatic action of v Constantinople has given a decided check. The re- nce of the Sultan to permit each r to send a second dispatch boat its of the Dardanelles has by the receipt of a com- | v the Sultan, which passed ands of the German Em- a Constantinople, intimating that the Kaiser regarded a naval demon- ionin the Levant or an increase of the number of guard boats at Constan- tinople as inopportune. Jologne Gazette, in its issue of last stated upon authority that the ments at Rome aud Vienna were in | ete accord with the Berlin Govern- nt in its Turkish policy. The Gazette makes the pomnt that Germany has not for permission to send a second uip through the straits and asserts authority that neither Italy nor would avail herself of the privilege ded by a firman allowing the pass g of a second boat, even if it should be nted. Whatever feelings the English Government may entertain upon finding their second dispatch boat debarred from the st s, England is unable to > action of the Sultan to a titude on the part of the Ger- 1 Governm: which has all sl been reluctant to ac that anything I coercion the Sultan was likely to be Ty change o & R erlin Government from the first | hat extreme measures would be ne and has steadfastly adhered 1 tolend Germa strength to the canrying out of any policy designed to break up the Ottoman empire.

Conse- had nothing what- do with any change in the situa- at may have taken place. If the of the powers has been disturbed tis due to the action of Sir Philip Currie, at Constantino- | the Ger- | ors to the | ption of extreme measures against the | . ccording to a report which is credited official circles here Sir Philip Currie | k it upon himself to bully the Sultan threat that the combined fleets of wers would force a passage through if the demands of the for permits admitting additional | not granted. | 3, the Turkish | | | to assent to inboat at Con- ole, upon the stren requested Admiral Sey yur, commandi the h M er- n squadron, to send a zunboat to the ] anelles forthwith, which request was | ged by the immediate dispatch 1boat Dryad to Turkish waters. however, the Sultan was af- F th the foreign | Embassadors with the result that ke was | enabled to resist the pressure of Great ain and the Dryad was obliged to go back to Saloniza. Despite the obvious differences among the powers as to a plan of action in Tur- s the German official press has been in- cted to keep up the fiction that the cert of the powers is unimpaired. The North German Gazette on Friday made an | < upon the policy of England as im- | ling the territorial strength of the | h empire, yet it still proclaims that cord of opinion among the powers, tke common aim of the Eu- ropean Governmeats, is being maintained. The Cologne Gazette strongly objects to the attempts to discriminate between the | the action of Germany and any other power, but declares that the idea favored by England of the disruption of the Tur- kish empire was never entertained by the German Government, the sole aim of whose diplomacy is to exert its good rela- tions with the Sultan for the benetit of the general interests of Europe. The wild schemes for the partition of Turkey which have been so widely and | pe tently discussed in the English press ! have made a most unfavorable impression | here. The North German Gazette calls | them fantastic and regrets the fact that they are not confined to the newspapers alone, but that their propagation prevails in higher circies. Public opinion in Great Britain,” the .tte adds, *is taking a direction en- ; different from that taken by Conti- | No German, Austrian o | i ti nental opinion. 2 statesman has ever talked about | p ble Turk’ or discussed the policy of breaking up the Turkish empire.” | The National Zeitung says: ‘Nothing | better could be desired to lead to a Euro- pean war than these plans of Turkish dis- ruption, the chief object of \\'hlch_xs to agyrandize the empire of Great Britain.” The Berlin correspondent states that Herr von Koeller, the Prussian Minister of the Interior, a day or two ago sought and obtained an interview with Professor Hans Delbrueck, the editor of the Preussische Jahrbucher, who was recently threatened with prosecution by Herr von Koeller for baving attacked the latter’s policy, nn_d particularly the methods pursued by his “political police,” the proceedings being suddenly dropped in deference to public opinion, which was strongly in favor of the professor. The two gentlemen, according to the Correspondenz had a very pleasant and amicable conference, with the resultof their parting in perfect friend- the ‘u | tion given by the methods being pursued | Captain Noble observed that the shore on | private letter from Yoro says that two | p o | across the bridge a few feet from the cap- with free discussion of the Ministerial policy, and the professor assured the Min- ister that he had no intention of offending or insulting the public. It is quite plain, the paper says, that Herr von Koeller finds the task of insulting the higher intellect of Germany far beyond him, and the papers which are diligent in acclaiming his thoroughness in his policy of repres- sion of socialism are confined solely to the Conservative and Bismarckian organs. The Hamburger Nachrichten, the meuth- piece of Prince Bismarck, and the other papers lauding Herr von Koeller are now obtaining official inspiration and glorify- ing the revival of the Bismarckian system as a triumph for the Prince. Under promptings from high quarters public agitation is being fomented in favor of areform of the suffrage. A significant meeting in this direction has been held in Hamburg at which 2000 electors were in attendance, but to this gathering neither Freisinnige nor Socialists were invited. A resolution was passed asking the Chan- cellor toprepare a measure which would stop the abuse of universal suffrage, either by raising the age of electors, by the en- forcement of a prolonged residence quali- fication or by any other means that would insure a restriction of the suffrage. A committee was appointed to prepare an ad- dress to the Emperor assuring his Majesty of public sympathy in the struggle he has undertaken against socialism. Similar meetings are being arranged throughout the country. The sugar taxation bill prepared by | Count Posadowsky-Wehrner, the Imperial | Minister of the Treasury, since its pm»{ | ions have been ful disclosed, has ovsed general opposition. According to he contentions of the opponents of the measure, the retail price of sugar, if the ; bill 1s passed, will increase 30 per cent, while only exporters drawing bounties can be benefited by the operation of the bill. Only a section of the Agrarian party is supportirg the bill, and it is likely to be | amended out of all semblance to its ori t lin and Frankfort syndicate or; is announced to be continuing | ns for a new Chinese loan of 300,- | 000,000 marks. Reports on the Bouise the syndicate with stipulating, as a | condition of their handling the loan, that e orders shall be placed in Germany to supply China with warships and railway | material. As the English banking are giving the loan the cold shoulder, it is | understood that the German syndicate | will seek to obtain a guarantee for it in | Russia.

MURDER OF THREE MINRQRS. Slain for Money and Their Bodies Left in a Shaft. TEGUCIGALPA, HoxpURAs, Dec. 1.—A | Americans, Lewis Young and Frederick Simmons, and an Englishman, Thomas | Clarke, who have been working in the | mines of that district, some weeks ago | discovered what they claimed was a most | valuable gold and silver minenear Talgua. This they worked on their own account and reported that they had amassed con- | siderable wealth. None of the three being seen for days, comment was caused and a search resulted in finding all three bodies at the bottom of a shaft in a terribly mu- tilated condition with many stabs. Noth- ing valuable was left in their cabin. The authorities made the usual pretense of an investigation, and are now trying to hush the matter up. A R Slain by Robbers. VALPARAISO, Cuire, Dec. 1.—Four American laborers on the railroad at Men- doza, who had four years’ savings, amount- ing to several thousand dollars, were found dead on the highway yesterday morning.

FOR GUERRILLA TACTICS Re-enforcements to Strengthen the Army at the West in With- standing the Spaniard. CAMPOS TO FORCE FIGHTING It Is His Intention to Bring the Struggle to a Close at Onmce, if Possible. BOSTON, Mass,, Dec. 1.—A dispatch to a morning paper from Santiago de Cuba states that the insurgents have given up all idea of making a direct assault on the garrison of that city for the present. Itis known that during the last few days a number of re-enforcements have been sent to strengthen the army of the west, which is withstanding the Spanish advance from Havana. Both General Gomez and General Maceo are satistied that the war is ended so far as the tern part of the island goes, and | that if they cared to risk their men the | capture of the city would be almost assur- edly carried out. They have wisely, there- fore, turned their efforts to holding in check the Spanish advance from the west, as with this accomplished Santiago de Cuba. will fall almost immediately. Notwith- anding the reports of reverses, the insur- gents have by no means lost hope. Gen- eral Maceo states that no stress can be laid | on the battles in the west in which the in- surgents were dofeated by the Spanish ad- vance, as at no time have they acknowl- edged their ability to withstand the heavy Spanish guns and the active cavalry. The remainer of the war will be fought mainly s it has been in the past—and the method is surely the safest for the insur- gents—that of ambuscades and guer- rilla warfare carried outon a slightly in- creased scale. General Campos fully realizes that the large force at his command, even with strong re-enforcements, would be unable to make any material gains against the in- surgents in this manner of fighting, and the whole methed of carrying out his cam- | paign shows that he means to bring the struggle to an issue at once, if possible. With the information from insurgent headquarters it 1s very doubtful if he will be able to further force the fighting, and now that he is on the verge of the moun- tainous district in which the insurgents | have strengthened themselves, the events of the next few weeks will show whether | the campaign is to be successful or not. A dispateh from Havana from Spanish sources states that battlcs are being fought every nity of Santa Clara and that the insurgents are now making their last stand. It is learned that the two expeditions from Key West and Hal- fax, with re-enforcements and ammunition for the patriots, have been landed safely near Cape Maysi NOT YET CONFIEMED. The Sentence of an Officer Who Surren- dered to Insurgents. MADRID, Searx, Dec. 1.—A dispatch to the Imparcial from Santa Clara says that Captain-General Campos has not yet con- firmed the sentence of imprisonment for lifi a military prison passed by a court- martial vpon Lieutenant Feijoo, who sur- rendered Fort Pelayo to the insurgents under Gomez. Sergeant Canovas, who was tried on the same charge, was acquitted. General Valdoz has defeated the insur- districts. The rebel leader Maceo has passed Trocha. Serious fighting is said to have taken place between his band and the Government troops, but the result of the engagement is not known. PLURDERED B TURKS Continued from First Page. News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople saying that the Port has documents, claimed to have been writ- ten by Armenians at Kharput, declaring the education given by the American mis- sionaries bas seduced their young men from rectitude and brought calamity upon them. The dispatch adds that elsewhere the officials force starving Armenians to sign papers declaring that the liberty en- joyed under Turkish rule is not equaled in any land. The Daily News will also publish a dis- patch from Odessa giving an interview | with Captain Noble of the British steamer Loch Rannoch, from Leith November 1 for Odessa, which arrived a few aays ago at Chanak, at the entrance of the Dar. danelles, a few minnutes after sundown. either side of the straits was lined with troops under canvas and that cannon were placed at close stages along the banks. Two blank shots, one from each shore, were fired at the Loch Rannoch. The captain did not heave his vessel to, thinking that the shots were part of some military maneuver. Soon three shells were fired at the steamer. The first shell dropped under the bow of the steamer, the second fell astern and the third whizzed tain’s head. Captain Noble instantly reversed the steamer’s engines. He was astonished and thought war had been declared be- tween England and Turkey. Hitherto the Turkish authorities have always aliowed a time margin for vessels arriving in the straits after sundown. The head of the Dardanelles is covered with torpedoes. ROME, Itavy, Dec. L—A semi-official telegram from Constantinople says that the American admiral who is' now at Smyrna recently asked permission to visit the Sultan on board his flagship. The re- quest was refused. et AR, ADMITS THE GUARDSHIPS, The Sultan Has Made a Compromise With the Powers. LONDON, Exa., Dec. 1.—The Telegraph will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Vienna saying it is reported that a com- promise has been reached between the for- eign representatives at Constantinople and the Sultan regarding the guardship ques- tion. The Sultan, it is said, will grant the firman necessary for the entry of the guardships into the Bosphorus on condi- tion that the powers will not use them un- less the lives of Christians are seriously endangered. The dispatch adds that Rus- sia scouts the Idea of a European confer- ence being held on the Turkisb question. STARVATION IN NEWFQUNDLAND. From Many Localities, Particularly Fishing Villages, Come Urgent Pleas for Food. ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Dec. 1.—The investi- gation by the Government authorities to- day in regard to the threatened famine in the island this year was finished to-day, and the report of the investigating com- mittee submitted. The report shows that already the terrible state of affairs which has prevailed during the two last winters is destined this winter to be surely aug- mented. The greater part of the investigation has been made among the fishing villages removed from the capital. Here the dread famine has not waited the arrival of winter to commence its work. as already from all sides comes the appeal for food, that the inhabitants are starving. At a meeting of the citizens’ committee held to-day, it was voted to make an appeal once more to the people of the United States and Canada for help. The British home Government has sent a large supply, but even when all sources are taxed the terrible state of affairs will be but slightly ameliorated and this winter will be the hardest in Newfoundland’s his- tory. SANTA CLARA SHIPMENTS Large Quantities of Dried Fruit Sent From the County’s Orchards. Many Girls Employed in Boxing the Product for Its Trip to East- ern Markets. SAN JOSE, Car, Dec. 1.—A large amount of dried prunes is being shipped from the Santa Clara County Fruit Ex- change and from the other exchanges throughout the county, and a large num- ber of girls are employed 1n boxing the fruit. Most of the prunes are being put up in twenty-five-pound boxes, but con- siderable is going forward in fifty, and eighty-pound boxes. The cost of packing in boxes is as fol- lows: In twenty-five pound boxes, one-half cent per pound; fifty-pound boxes, one- fourth.cent, and eighty-pound boxes, one- eighth cent per pound. The twenty-five pound boxes make fancier parcels, and are in greater demand among the retail deal- ers in the Bast. The graders are running iy, and a greater percentage of the sizes from forty to sixty are being secured than was anticipated. The price realized on the average for the four sizes is 414 cents. This means 63 cents from the sizes from forty to sixty. The market for dried peaches is dull, although there is some demand for the fancy fruit, but fancy prices are not offered. For prime peaches the quotations are 33{ cents and 1014 to 1214 for fancy peeled in boxes. There are not enough apricots in the market to reach the demand, yet prices remain at 7}4 to 8 cents for prime and 10 to 11 cents for fancy. Checkered Career of a Girl. SAN JOSE, Cav., Dec. 1.—Jennie Lind, a young woman 23 years of age, is in the Receiving Hospital in this city recovering from an attack of spasms which overtook her while en route to this city on the train last evening. The girl said she left San Francisco Fri- day morning with the intention of work- ing her way to Los Angeles, where she had friends. She walked from San Francisco to Menlo Park, at which place she earned enougli money playing upon an autoharp, which she carried with her, to purchase a ticket to this city. £he claimed to be a musician and actress by profession and said she had been upon the vaudeville stage since she was seven yearsof age. She was married to Frank Lind, a celebrated banjo-player, when she was 13 years of age, and they happily roamed the world together until nine months ago to-day, i when her husband died suddenly of heart disease. During that time she had seen nothing but trouble and sickness. S B Burned by Exploding Gas. SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 1.—Al Smith, a tinsmith at Campbell, had his eyes badly burned by an explosion while soldering a squirrel exterminator box. The box was used for blowing carbon into squirrel holes, and some of the gas remaining in the box took fire from the soldering iron. Smith’s wounds are not dangerous, but he will be laid up for some time. . Musician Parkman Interred. SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 1.—The funeral of Charles E. Parkman, the well-known musician who died in San Francisco Thursday morning, took place this after- noon. The funeral cortege was headed by a band of forty pieces from the Musicians’ Union, of which the deceased was the founder. MARGARET MATHERK'S MITE. ot to Contesi Pabst’s Nuit. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Dec. 1.—When Margaret Mather boarded a train for New York city yesterday it was with the inten- tion of never returning to Milwaukee as the wife of Colonel Gustav G. Pabst, the favorite son of Captain Frederick Pabst, the brewer, who is worth a score of mil- lions. This was her determination, if a story told by a prominent citizen of Milwaukee who is close to the Pabst family is true, and there is no reason for doubting his credibility. The ex uctress did not leave without a valuable consideration. She was paid $100,000, with the understanding that she would not contest the suit for divorce that was instituted by Colonel Pabst about a month ago, as a result of her fierce attack upon him with a horsewhip on October 2 last. At that time Colonel Pabst and his wife denied that any trouble had occurred, but within four weeks the colonel went to the law firm of Winkler, Flanders, Smith, Bottum & Vilas and directed them to start a divorce suit. Then he left the city, and ie hasnot been seen here since. His whereabouts is not known. It was reported he had gone to South Dakota for the purpose of acquiring a legal residence in that State with a view of avoiding the publicity that would follow the trial of the case in Mil- waukee, To-day it is said he 13 in Indian Territory. ‘When'the announcement was made that Colonel Pabst would sue, reporters who called at the Colonel's home were to'd that Mrs. Mather-Pabst was seriously ill with nervous prostration. At one time her life was despaired of. e Glass Plant Burnea. NORTH BALTIMORE, Onro, Dec. 1.— The plant of the Zieblmann Glass Com- g‘-ny was entirely destroyed by fire to-day. 'he loss is $50,000. The fire was cansed by an explosion of natural gas. John Berry, ) the watchman, was burned to death. Given a Fortune UMPOUA BAR WRECK. Details of the Bandorille’s Loss Told by Mate Nelson. CAPTAIN WINANT'S FATE Desperate Battle With Heavy Seas in Sight of His Crew. THE VESSEL'S CARGO SAVED. Destruction of the Grounded Steamer Will Be Accomplished by the First High Wind. PORTLAND, Og., Dec. 1.—Local United States Inspectors Edwards and McDer- mott yesterday received the following re- port from Thomas Nelson, mate of the ill- fated Bandorille. “We were at anchor off the life-saving station on Umpqua Bay on the morning of the 21st inst., and at 8:30 hove anchor, crossing the bar at 9 o’clock. “We were just over the bar and in twenty-five feet of water when several heavy seas struck the vessel and turned her head to the sonthward. More heavy seas followed and the steamer would not straighten up again. We were rapidly drifting toward the south beach. We tried to back in toward the channel again, but the rudder chain carried away. Cap- tain Winant and I went ait to get relieving tackle on. “While working with the tackle and try- ing to clear the tiller, which was foul, a tremendous sea struck the vessel on the starboard side and she went almost over on her port beam. Captain Winant lost his hold and went overbcard. I threw him a line, but he could not reach it. Then I threw a life-buoy, which he se- cured and put on. At this time the engine became dis- abled and the vessel drifted rapidly to- ward the beach. All this time Captain Winant was in sight, drifting shoreward about as fast as the Bandorille. We struck at 5 o'clock and the captain’s body reached the shore at the same time, but Ins life had gone out in the struggle against the waves. The life-saving crew wason hand shortly after and the steamer’s crew was rescued at 2 o’clock in the afternoon by means of the breeches-buoy. “The cargois all outand the steamer is resting easily in the sand. There is very little water in her yet, but if a storm should come up itis likely she will break to pieces.”” The Yaquina Bay News says: An ex- amination shows that Captain Winant met his death from the effects of a heavy btow on the leit side and breast, which would bave killed him even if he had not been thrown into the sea. Too much praise cannot be given to Cap- tain Bergman and his gallant crew of life- savers for their noble efforts in bebalf of the crew of the stranded vessel. Great credit is also due I. L. Smith for his kind- ness and consideration of the crew. Captain Winant’s body was brought to this city in charge of theI. 0. 0. F.and shippea to Alameda, Cal., for interment. e i SUES FOR DAMAGES. Action Brought at Portland Against a San Francisco Firm. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 1.—William J. Culligan yesterday filed suit against Caro Bros. of San Francisco to recover $5,000 damages and an accounting as to the profits of certain business transacted by the plaintiff for the defendants. Culligan charges that he was engaged by Caro Bros. on February 23, 1895, to con- duct their business at Portland, Ore., for a period of five years and was to receive one-fourth of the profits and to be allowed to draw $150 per month, to be charged against his interest in the business. He alleges that, pursuant to this written agreement, he came to Portland and managed the business until November 27, 27, 1895, when, witheut any cause, Caro Bros. dismissed him and took trom him the books and papers, and refused and still re- fuse to permit him to proceed further with his contract. —_— WOULD ANTICIPATE THE LAW. Novel Attempt at Suicide by an Oregon Murderer. PORTLAND, Og., Dec. 1.—Charles Asi- mus, now awaiting sentence in the Cowlitz County jail for the murder of Jack Green- wood at Mount Coffin, attempted suicide by cutting the veins of his arm with the metallic point that covers the end of one of his shoetrings. Texas, Miss Beulah Carter of Riverside. Miss Carter is the daughter of J. D. Car- ter, president of the Riverside Lumber Company. In June Leslie dropped into Riverside as a traveling salesman for Or- derff & Co. of Dallas, Texas. He was formerly in their employ, but forged their name and since that time they have vainly sought him. After a stay of two weeks in Riverside Leslie induced Miss Carter to elope with him, and they were married at Newport while Mrs. Leslie No. 1 was in Texas, ignorant of the existence of Nos. 2 and 3. For a bridal trip they took in Memphis and some Texas towns, returning to New- port after two weeks. By this time Leslie's funds were getting low and he felt that one was as much as he could care for. To get rid of Mrs. Leslie No. 3, he fixed up a telegram, ostensibly from Riverside that Mrs. Carter was at the point of death. While her daughter was going to her he forged a check on Mr. Carter for $175. Leslie has confessed his crime. il g B WILL SETTLE ORR’S SHORTAGE. Bondsmen of the Asylum Ewx-Treasurer Come to His Rescue. STOCKTON, CaL., Dec. 1.—It is under- stood that the hondsmen of Major Orr will make up his deficiency in accounts next week and that the late Secretary of the Asylum Board will not be prosecuted. Major Orr has some property which he will turn over to his bondsmen. HEADING TOWARD FRESNC, the Outlaw Crowley Eludes Posses Bent Upon His Capture. The Alameda County Escape Eats a Hearty Meal at the New Columbia Ranch. FRESNO, CAL., Dec. 1.—Phil Crowley, the Alameda County outlaw, is still at large in the western part of this county, having again given the officers the slip last night. When last heard from he was heading toward Fresno. Instead of follow- ing up the river, as was expected by Con- stable Adams, Crowley last night left the | brush in which he was hiding along the | river between Mendota and Firebaugh and started off in a southeasterly direction toward Fresno. About 6 o’clock this morning the bandit appeared at the New Columbia rancho, eight miles southeast of Mendota, and asked for breakfast, which was given to him. The entire West Side country is excited over Crcwley’s presence, but, although there were several men at the ranch who must have known or suspected that the visitor was Crowley, no attempt was made to arrest him. However, it is a very com- mon occurrence for tramps to apply 1or food at Miller & Lux's ranch-houses and | parficular attention may probably not have been paid to Crowley. Crowley ate a hearty breakfast and resumed his jour- ney on the road leading to this city. As Constable Adams planned last night, he was at a certain point upon the San Joaquin River with a posse early this morning waiting for the bandit to pass. But Crowley failed to put in an appear- ance, and after waiting until nearly noon | the posse returned to Mendota, where Crowley’s visit at the New Columbiaranch was reported. Constable Adams and his deputies had been out almost continuously for forty-eight hours, and being com- pletely tired out, did not continue the search to-day. There 1s much speculation here as to whether Crowley will come to Fresno or | not. It1s not considered unlikely that he will visit the town, arriving during the night or early in the morning. Ifhe does not come to the city it isex- pected that he will visit ranch-houses in the vicinity and will be heard from to- morrow. A resident of this city who re- turned from a visit to Mendota and vicin- ity thismorning said there wasno ques- tion but that the Crowley who was in this county was the Alameda outlaw. The startling report gained circulation late last night that Crowley had been cap- tured west of this city, and that Deputy Constable Tom Pickford had been killed in the fight. The rumor was evidently started by some practical joker. ‘CHINESE CAMP CRIME, {Ada McReynolds Confesses to a Diabolical Deed. VENGEANCE OF A GIRL. Caused George Morris’ Death Be- cause He Rejected Her Love. SHOT DOWN BY HER BROTHERS. They Attempted to Give Their Work the Appearance of a Murder for Robbery. STOCKTON, CaL., Dec. 1.—A telephone message from Chinese Camp states that Detective Riley of San Francisco has ob- tained from Ada McReynolds a full con- fession, in which she charges her brothers, | Albert and Wesley McReynolds, with the brutal murder of George Morris, the Post- master and Wells-Fargo agent at the camp, a few weeks ago. The girl says she was in love with Morris and he rejected her affections, even order- ing her out of his store one day. Shede- cided to have revenge and called upon her brothers to assist her. This they did by shooting down in cold blood the popular young agent and attempting to cover up their work by giving it the appearance of .an attempted robbery. The girl is under arrest and one of the bovs has also been apprehended. The other one is located and will be under ar- rest by morning. Excitement at the camp runs high and the officers will take the trio out of the county to prevent mob vengeance. The McReynolds family lives a short distance from Chinese Camp and has al- ways borne a good reputation. The boys are about 21 yearsold. The officers have been working upon the case for some time and claim to have enough evidence to con- vict the accused. Detective Riley has the girl’s confession in his possession and says it details the crime in as clear a manner as ink will make i I¥SON Enduring Needless Hardships in the Ficinity of Banta. STOCKTON, CaL., Dec. 1.—Little Moses Tyson, who has beer: in the County Jail like a common criminal since the fatal affair at Banta, in which his father killed Deputy Sheriff Buzzell, was taken before Justice Parker to-day and released. The elder Tyson is still in hiding, and the search by local officers has been practically abandoned, they relying upon outside officers to apprehend the fugitive. As the aifair stands now, it is almost certain that Tyson would be released on his preliminary examination, and the old man is, consequently, enduring unneces- sary hardships. e STILL IN HIDING. DISMISSED AFT. FOUR YEARS. End of a Suit of Long Standing Against a Stockton Collector. STOCKTON, CarL.,, Dec. 1.—A case of long standing was dismissed in Justice Parker’s court yesterday.
