4 . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1896. e ——————————————————————eeee e ————————— e DAROUX'S VICTORY - AT SACRAMENTO. His Second Ward Delegates Seated in the County Convention. NO PROTESTS RAISED. Instead of the Expected Battle Harmony Marks the Deliberations. BRUSIE FOR STATE SENATOR. Catlin, Hart and Post Are Nominated for the Superior Judge. ships. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Aug. 10— The Republican County Convention was called to order at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon by Chairman of the County Central Commit- tee George Clark. The room was crowded with delegates and spectators, the latter made up for the most part of the Rhoades- Cavaraugh and Daroux factions, The expected battle between these factions failed to materialize, and the deliberations were harmonious. Senator William Johnson of Courtland placed Thomas H. Berkey in nomination for temporary chairman, and he was chosen by acclamation. J. Charles Jones was elected secretary, with Max Ginsberg assistant. A flood of nominations for assistants were referred to the committee on organization. It was moved that committees of seven be named by the chairman, to act on order of business, credentials and platform and resolutions, and a recess of a few minutes was taken while the chairman selected committee- men. When the convention reconvened, after naming commiteemen the chairman ordered that all delegations present their credentials to the secretary. Frank Daroux arose and stated that the delegates from the Second Ward in Sacramento had no credentials. Chairman Berkey requested Daroux to present a list of that delega- tion. A recess was then taken until 8 o’clock. On reconvening, the chairman of the committee on credentials reported that the credentials of all were correct, with the exception of those from tue Second Ward, and it had_ been deemed right to seat the Daroux delegation. The report of the platform committee was submitted. Its salient points were full indorsement of the plat- form of the National Republican Conven- tion, the favoring of total cessation of foreign immigration, economical adminis- tration of county and State affairs, good roads, legal and uniform taxation atac- tual value, and export bounty on agri- cultural products. It also fully indorsed the official acts of Representative Grove L. Johnson during the late session of Con- gress. Judson C. Brusie received the nomina- tion for State Senator by acclamation. Then the selection of three candidates for the Suverior Judgeships was consicered. Here it became extremely evident thatthe slate was not to be implicitly followed. Kven the Daroux faction had various opinions, and their leader demanded roll- call. The ultimate re-ult was that two slated candidates, A. P. Catlin and E. C. Hart, won, the latter by a very small mar- gin, while Charles N. Post received the big total of 180 votes. After the announcement of the result the convention adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. e OPPUSED TO SEWALL. Populist Delegate Gilstrap on the Atti- tude of His Party. VISALIA, CaL., Aug. 10.—W. H. Gil- strap, senior editor of the Visalia News and a member of the steering committee which managed the middle-of-the-road fight in the Populist National Convention, returned from St. Louis yesterday. ~ He sizes up the situation as follows: “I believed that the interests of the People’s party and its principles would be best served by nominating a straight Pop- uiist ticket. When we succeeded in re- versing the order of business, nominating a Populist for Vice-President, we achieved a substantial victory, thereby making it possible in each State to maintain the identity of the People’s party and its vrinciples intact, the object of first im- Qorlance to all trune Populists. I believe Mr. Sewall’s nomination and the disrup- tion of the People’s party would have most likely followed, since the fact that Mr. Bryan corld not have honorably ac- cepted the nomination would have been a telling nrgumem with all Bryan dele- gales. Ishall support Bryan and Watson, elieving that the future success of the party and its principles in a great measure depends upon theincreased vote of the People’s party at the coming elec- tion.” I am not worrying as to the course the Democratic party may-pursue con- cerning the Vice-Presidential nominees. The responsibility of electing Bryan rests with them now and cannot be nossibly achieved in any other way than by their supporting Watson electors. No true Populist will submit to any further con- cessions or in any way consummating any deal that would compel them to directly or indirectly aid in the election of Mr. Bewall, the National banker.” A SANTA BARBARA GERRYMANDER. Changes Made in the Supervisorial Dis- trict Boundaries. SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Aug. 10.—A small tempest has been brewinz in the Santa Barbara County political teapot ever since the Board of Supervisors proposed in July to make cerfain changes in the Super- visorial districts. To-day when the board in speclal session confirmed thes: changes many indignant comments were made on the streets. 3 Santa Barbara County has five Super- visors from as many districts. The Super- visorial districts at this end of the county formerly comprehended the territory from Carpinteria to Santa Barbara, then Santa Barbara itself, and then a tract from Santa Barbara up the coast and across the moun- tains to Santa Ynez, This last great terri- tory at present is represented by Ed de la Cuesta, while Santa Barbara has been rep- resented by Bascom Williams and the Car- pinteria and Montecito district by Super- visor Sawyer. The modification acopted at to-day’s meeting of the board gives Saw- yer two wards in Santa Barbara and adds to Williams’ territory the strip of rich farming country extending to Goleta on the west and reaching to the foot of the tollroad. ‘When the next election occurs the mass of population, comprising three-fifths of the county, residents of this extremity, will gontrol but two districts and elect but two Supervisors, while the remaining two- fifths of the population, situated at the | | | | | | | 1 upper end of the county, will be enabled to elect three representatives. The Supervisors explain that this change bas been made solety for better attention to the road interests of the districts, which have been enlarged and extended, and that the proposition bas been under considera- tion for the last four years, i Sadidinng GROVE JOHNSON'S STRENGTAH. His Renomination in the Scecond Distriot Appears to Be Certain. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Aug. 10.—Charles T. Jones, a prominent lawyer and Repub- lican of this county, in speaking of the vrobable chances of the nomination of Grove L. Johnson for Congress said to- day: *“In my opinion there is no possible doubt but that he wiil receive the nomina- tion by acclamation, and if so he will poll the full Republican vote of this Con- gressional district. In Sacramento County local pride in his career during the last session will insure him a large majority; for, as faras Ican judge from conversa- tions held and manifestations of the peo- ple in general, his record has given the citizens of Sacramento County universal satisfaction.” In interviews with THE CALL's repre- sentative by prominent business men the sentiment expréssed was that Grove L. Johnson was their first and only choice. In an interview with the candidate him- self he said: *1 have no doubt as to my nomination. Judging by the counties which have al- ready instructed for me, I already have a large majority. Mariposa, with 4 votes, Tuolumne 4, Nevada 9, Yuba 6, Sutter 4, Sacramento 22, San Joaquin 15, Inyo 2, Mono 2and Butte 11 are all mstructed. Placer, with 9, meets to-morrow, and 1 have heard from a friend in that vicinity that the delegation will favor my nomin- ation. I expect to receive the vote of Cal- averas, which is 8 votes, and the only ones from which Ihave not heard are El Do- rado 6, Amador 7and 1 votein Alpine County.” e Cloverdale’s Republican Club. CLOVERDALE, CaL, Aug. 10.—The Cloverdale Repablican Club has completed its organization and the campaign in this vicinity s now fairly on. Following is the list of club officers: ¥. W. Brusb, president; J. B. Cooley, vice-president; I. 8. Lewis, secretary; W. P. Ink, treasurer. The following executive committee was elected: T. B. Wilson, George B. Baer, W. T. Brush, H.C. McKoon and Julius Allegrini. About seventy names are now on the clubroll and as the campaign pro- gresses many more are expected. The first bie gun of the campaign will be fired next Friday evening, when Congressman J. A, Barham and i{on. D. E. McKinlay will speak at a big rally in Liberty Hall. Oregon Sound-Money Demoorats. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 10.—The sound- money Democrats of Oregon have ar- ranged to hold a convention this week for the purpose of electing eight delegates to the National Democratic Convention, which meets at Indianapolis on Septem- ber 2. Among the Democrats in this State there is a widespread interest over the issues involved in the coming Presi- dential campaign. While there are hun- dreds of Democrats who will vote to de- feat Bryar and the platform he stands on, there are others who want a straight-out Democratic ticket to vote for. This will be provided for them hy the Indianapolis conference. Oregon will give to the new movement respectable support. START FOR CRATER LAKE Portland Mazamas Will Climb the Steep Sides of Pitt Mountain. Government Commissioners Accom- pany the Party to Explore the Great Reservoir. PORTLAND, Ogr., Aug. 10.—The first party of Mazamas will start for Ashland, on the Crater Lake excursion, to-morrow morning. The party as made up at pres- ent consists of Professors Everman and Cox of the United States Fish Commission, Rev. Earl M. Wilburof the First Unitarian Church of this city, M. W. Gorman, Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson of Oregon City, Miss A.J. Smith and Miss Winfred Watson of Portland and Miss Newman of Freeport, Fla. C. H. Bholes leit for Ashland on Thursday on his wheel, and wi/l be joined at Eugene by Professor Edgar McClure of the State University, who will ride with him to Ashland. Those from Portland will leave in a special car and will reach Ashland Wednesday noon. They will climb Mount Pitt on the way to Crater Lake and will leave a Mazama register box on the sum- mit. This will be the largest party that ever climbed Mount Pitt, as its location makes it so difficult of access that few people have attempted the ascent. The party will camp at the timber line the day before climbing the mountain. On Mon- day morning Crater Lake will be reached, and they will spend the rest of the week carcping on the shore and making explor- ations on the iake and surrounding mountains, During the week other parties of Maza- mas will join the campers, and it is ex- pected that over 150 people will be present. The mountain in whose crater the won- derful lake is situated is to be christenea Mount Mazama, in honor of the famous osganization of mountain-climbers. The Government Fish Commissioners, who ac- company the party, will make a careful siudy of the waters of the lake, with a view to stocking it with fisb, and both the temperature of the lake and the amount of fish food it contains will be carefully noted. Government botanists and geolog- ists will also accompany the party and study the vegetation around the lake, and the {ormation of the country surround- ing it. A water-gauge and bench marks will be put in by the Mazamas, so that future visitors to the lake may note the height of the water at the different seasons of the year, and in this way gain some knowl- edge of the mysteries of its inland outlet. R SCORCBES AWAY FROM BANDITS. 4 Portsmouth Cyoler Saves His Valua- bles by Fast Riding. PORTLAND, Or,, Aug. 10.—Frank Pierce, a bicyclist of Portsmouth, met some of the Wilhoit stage-robbers yester- day afternoon neur Mill Creek, on the Mol- lala road. A single highwayman at- tempted to stop Pierce on the road. He told him to put his hands up. There was a good, clear road ahead and thecyelist saw no weapon in the highwayman’s hands, so he made a wild spurt for free- dom. A second robber came out of the bushes and made an attempt to stop the wheelman, but was knocked down. Pierce scorched in good earnest for the next ten miles and saw no more of the robbers, Who wore cloth masks over their faces, idsies ki Zirviven Erom a Reservation. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 10.—United States District Attorney Murphy has re- ceived instructions to defend Indian Agent Petet of Klamath reservation, who has been sued in the County Court of Klamath County by Henry O’Brien, 1ate teacher in the Indian school there, 'to recover §5000 damages for being put off the reservation. It is charged that O'Brien became so un- mindful o his duties and so obstreperous that the agent deemed it advisable to dis- charge him and forcibly expel him from the premises. INQUEST OVER SN JOSE'S DEAD The Murder of Crosetti and Miss Feilner Was Premeditated. FRED SCHIELE'S STORY. Says Allender Announced His Intention Shortly Before the Tragedy. SWORE HE WOULD SLAY BOTE. The Assassin Arraigned in Justice’s Court and Held for Exami- nation. SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 10.—A Coroner’s inquest was held here to-day over the bodies of Venanz Crosetti and Wally Feilner, the young people who were shot and killed on North Third street yesterday afterncon by Harvey Allender. The evi- dence at the inquest fully established the fact that the act was due to jealousy. Allender had for several years been in love with the girl. About a year ago she refused to have anything to do with him. Shortly afterward she became engaged to Crosetti. Allender for months did every- thing he could to break up the relations between the young people. He sent threatening lettersto them anonymously, some of the missives containing drawings of coffins, skulls and ciossbones, Allender was frequently warned to leave the couple alone, but refused to do so. At the inquest his former associate, Fred Schiele, testified that Allender often threatened to ‘“‘do the Dago,” as he called Crosetti. The last occasion was about fifteen min- utes before the shooting. Allender said he had a revolver and that he would kill both Crosetti and the girl, as he shortly afterward did. Schiele did not pay much attention, as similar threats had been made before without serious results. A number of witnesses testified to the details of the shooting. Crosetti was un- armed, and he rushed up and attempted to take Allender’s pistol away after the first shot was fired at the girl. Then he him- self was fatally shot. The jury rendered separate verdicts, to the effect that Venanz Crosetti and Wally Feilner came to their death from pistol shot wounds at the hands of Harvey Allender, theact having been premeditated and with malice aforethought, After the inquest Allender was arraigned in the justice’s court upon two charges of murder. His examination was set for to-morrow upon one charge, and for the following day upon the second charge. The prose- cution will be pushed as expeditiously as possible, and Allender may be tried upon the charges in the Superior Court next week, There will be a double funeral to-mor- row afternoon, and Allender's victims will be buried side by side in Oak Hill Cemetery. B R Arrvested for Forgery. SBAN JOSE, CaL.,, Aug. 10.—A woman, giving the name of Mrs. Jennie Williams, is in custody on a charge of forgery. It appears that a letter containing a check for $20 98 upon the Bank of San Jose, ad- dressed to Mrs. Jennie I, Williams, wife of Dr. W. N. Williams, was received by the prisoner, who appropriated the money to her own use. She often received letters that were intended ior another person and returned them as ‘“‘opened by mistake,’’ but poverty induced her to hold the mis- sive containing the check. e R Qualifications of Voters. SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 10.—Judges Rey- nolds and Lorigan, sitting in bank, to-day decided that a naturalized citizen who has lost his papers is entitled to register on presenting an affidavit stating merely the year of naturalization. Judge Reynolds also beld that persons having the right to vote when the educational qualification law was adopted could not be deprived of that right, although they could neither read nor write. SAN' DIEGO WATER SUIT Judge Welborn Hands Down a Decision in Favor of the City. Demurrer to the Original! Complaint Sustained for Want of Jurisdiction. Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CaLy,) 828 SourH BroADWAY, Los ANeELES, Cal., Aug. 10. ‘ A suit of great importance to San Diegans, and which has dragged its.weary lengzth along through two or three conrts, came to a sudden halt in the United States Circuit Ceurt here this forenoon. Judge Ollin Welborn filed an elaborate ovinion, sustaining the demurrer in favor of the defendants. The case is that of the Consolidated Water Company vs. E, 8. Babcock et al. and was before the court on demurrer to the bill of complaint. Itisa suit by the water company against 8an Diego City, its Auditor, Treasurer, City Council, the Southern California Water Company and E. 8. Babcock for a decree that the making of a certain proposition by the city of San Diego to the defendant, the Southern Cali- fornia Mountain Water Company, for the sale to the city of a water supply, and the construction of a distributing system, the acceptance of the proposition, and all the proceedings were the result of bribery and {raud, that the defendants had no power to enter into the contract, and that they be enjoined from doing so. The opinion sets forth at considerable length the allegations of fraud and bribery and the application for permission to file a supvlemental complaint, and holds that the first question to be deter- mined is the ground of the aemurrer that challenged tne jurisdiction of the court. After thoroughly discussing the law rela- tive thereto the conrt holds: I am satisfied that the San Diego Water Com- pany ana the San Diego Flume Compl:x are necessary parties to the litigation; and fur- ther, thet {f they were made parties to this suit the controversy would not be wholly be- tween citizens of different States, ere these two facts exist, as has been re| ala held by the Supreme Court of the Unites States, the suit cannot be entertained. There- fore, the petition for leave to file & supple- mental bill will be denied, and the demurrer to the or"li'lnll bill wiil be sustained for want of jurisdiction, and complainant allowed ;‘";lé‘ly daysto amend if he should be so ad- e e LONG BEACH QUARREL. The Disincorporation Election Case Car- ried Into Court. LOS ANGELES, Car, Aug. 10,—The Long Beach disincorporation tangle was transferred to the Superior Court to-day. Messrs. Schilling, Cosaboom and Alimein, three of the Town Trustees, having re- fused to canvass the returns of the elec- tion at which the question of disincorpor- ation was submitted, the Superior Court has been asked to mandamas them and compel them so to do. It is set forth that the proceedings calling the election were regular; that a petition containing the names of sixty-one qualified electors was presented to the Trustees asking for an election, that number being more than required by law; thai the Trustees or- dered the election; that it was properly aavertised and held on July 27. The votes were counted by the election officers, and 129 were in favor of disincorporation and 121 against. ‘The Board of Trustees should have can- vassed the returns and declared the result on August 3. On that day only Trustees Dann and Denio were present, the other three being absent. These two Trustees, in order to purge themselyes of any con- tempt, canvassed the vote, but as there Was no quorum their work did not count. —_————— CALIFORN1IA CLUB OPENING.

How Mrs. Fitzsimmons Collected a Bill From Her Daughter-in-law. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Aug. 10.—The fellow who wrote, ‘“There is no loneer anything new under the sun,” ignored the fertile brain of some mothers-in-law. Old Mrs. Fitzsimmons of this city not only claimed the right to hold her two grand- children for a bill of $20, but actually did it, and her daughter-in-law, the wife of Charles Fitzsimmons, was compelled to pay a double eagle in order to get posses- sion of her own children, The father was off among the mines of In{o Count; s0 could not intercede in behalf of and children. Even after mother-in-law Fitzsimmons had been tendered the $20 she would not let her grandchildren go until a police- man jarred her nerves by almost knocking her door down.

STOCKTON, Car., August 10. — The members of Hope Lodge No. 126, Inde- pendent Order of B’nai B'mith, are in- censed at the action taken by San Fran- cisco members of the order in attempting to induce the District trand Lodge to re- consider its decision to bold its coming convention in this city next January. At the last convention of the order, held in Ban Francisco last January, M. P. 8tein of this city was elected first grand vice- president, and at the next session he will be elevated to the presidency of the Dis- trict Grand Lodge, its nighest office. For that reason it was believed proper by many of the San Franciscans to endeavor to have the next convention beld in this city. The local delegates to the conven- tion did not believe that the lodze here could undertake so great a task as that of entertaining 150 or 200 delexates from all parts of the Pacitic Coast who would as- semble here, but the San Franciscans were s0 anxious that Stockton should be chosen as the next meeting-place that the Stock- ton delegates could do nothing else but extend an invitation, It was accepted by a unanimous vote of the convention, and ever since the return of the members o- Hope Lodge they have been making ar- rangements to provide a fitting entertainf ment for the visitors next January. At a meeting of the Hope Lodge’ held several nights ago it was decided to teli the District Grand Lodge, at its special meeting, that Stockton did not want the next convention, pidiadan o, Sale of a Seattle Daily.

NEWCOMER ON TRIAL AT SONORA Arraigned for the Killing of Colonel Caleb Dorsey. HE ADMITS THE CRIME. Self-Defense Will Be the Plea Advanced in the Old Man’s Behalf. SLOW PROGRESS BEING MADE. Each Side Is Proceeding Cautiously and but Three Jurors Have Been Sworn. SONORA, Car., Aug, 10.—It is doubtful if ever in the history of Tuolumne County as much interest has been taken in any trial as was manifested to-day when John T. Newcomer, charged with the killing of the late Colonel Caleb Dorsey, was brought into Judge Nicoll's court. The promi- nence of the parties, the property over which the trouble arose, and the fact, so far as now kunown, that no human eye save of the principals witnessed the trag- edy, contributed to make the case mostin- teresting, exciting and important. Dorsey was one of the best known men in Tuolumne County and was respected and esteemed. Besides his many property interests here, he was an extensive owner in Stanislans and San Joaquin counties. He took active part in all matters affect- ing the public, and at one time repre- sented Stanislaus County in the lower house of the State Legisiature at Sacra- mento. He was unmarried. Newcomer has lived in Tuolumne County for fourteen years, engaged in mining most of the time. He was born in the South, and has a family now in Texas, He is known to be hot headed and quick to resent an insinuation and isre- ported to have killed a man in a bloody conflict before seeking a homein the West. Prior to the present trouble, his reputa- tion in Tuolumne County for peace and quietness had been good. The killing took place at Newcomer’s cabin, on Knights Creek, and as there were no witnesses to the shooting all that is known of the tragedy is the story told by Newcomer, who claims that he shot Dorsey in self-defense. It is alleged that Dorsey charged Newcomer with cleaning up and appropriating the amalgam from their mine without Dorsey’s knowledge. Newcomer gave him the lie. Dorsey at- tempted to draw his revolver, but New- comer, being the quicker, fired, as he claims, in self-defense, and his old friend and partner feil fatally wounded. They were alone, the dead cannot speak, and, therefore, Newcomer's account of what happened is all that will be known of the sad affair—doubly sad from the fact that they were old friends who had both al- most reached life journey’'s end. Dorsey was 61 years of age and Newcomer is over 70. Tt is believed that on the day of the murder Dorsey rode ap and dismounting tied his horse and went into Newcomer’s cabin. There he entered into the dispute which resulted in his death. It wasap- parent that he was standing with his back to the fireplace when the stooting oc- curred. Newcomer left Dorsey in a dying condition, locked the door and mounting Dorsey’s horse rode to the mine two miles distant, where he gave the key to the cook. Then he came to Sonora, gave himself up to Sheriff Yancey and was lodged in jail. At 10 o'clock this morning, when the trial was called before Judge Nicoll, the courtroom was crowded to the doors. In- side the bar the defendant sat by his coun- sel, Byron Waters of San Francisco, ex- District Attorney Curtin and Judge Rob- inson. Prosecuting Attorney F. P. Otis was assisted by Bpecial Counsel F. W, Street. All the day was occupied in exam- ining jurors, of whom eighty had been subpenaed, but only three were accepted. LABOR RIOT AT SISSON, White Men Vigorously Resent the Employment of Chinese. Celestial Railroad Graders Driven Five Miles Out of Town With Stones and C ubs. SISSON, CaL., Aug. 10.—The projectors of the new McCloud River Railroad to the Fall River timber belt imported Chinese last week to do the work of grading, and there was a demonstration at 8isson on Sunday afternoon by white laborers, in- citing a riot. The crowd consisted mostly of men al- ready employed at vairous places here- abonts, some on the railroad, some of them hoboes, some floating gamblers, but a number—men out of work and needing it. The sentiment here in favor of Ameri- can lapor is very strong, and there is a disapproval of the employment of Chi- nese. After dark on Sunday evening a large crowd left for the railroad camps, four miles northeast of here. Reaching there, they took the wagons containing the equipment of the Chinese and drove the ongolions on foot to the McCloud River, five miles away. ‘There were about thirty or forty China- men. Several were bruised and cut with ;wn:u and clubs, but none were seriously urt Constable Andrews was at China Camp until about 8 o’clock on Sunday night, but remarked nothing indicating tronble, There are over 100 white men employed on the railroad besides the Chinese, "W. W. Van Arsdale, manager for the Siskiyou Lumber Mercantile Company, whieh is building the road, says the Chinamen were emploved as necessary to complete a portion of the road this season. An attempt will be made to_convict the leaders of the riot, and Sheriff Hobbs of Yreka will be asked for deputies to pro- tect the railroad building. The Chinese will be returned and kept at work. Van Arsdale says he prefers white labor if he could get the men, and 1t is under- %m : Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. stood the Mongolians get the same wages as white men, except board. It is doubt- ful if there will be any further trouble with the officers on the ground. — e BATTLE NEAR NOGALES. Outlaws Fatally Wound @ Mewxican Offi- cer Who Was On Their Trail. NOGALES, Arrz., Aug. 10.—The four men who attempted to rob the bank of Nogales several days ago had a fight yes- terday with two Mexican custom-line riders and shot one through the shoulder. His wound will probably prove fatal. Colonel Kosterlitsky, with forty picked men, coming from the east, drove the rob- bers back, and Colonel Garcia, with thirty men, is moving to intercept their retreat. The robber who was captured at Bisbee has been Leld to answer for participation in the robbery of tne Separ, N. M., post- office a week ago. He bhad $30 in nickels and dimes disposed of two days ago. The money is supposed to have been taken from the postoffice. ————. SALT LAKE CONVENTION. Two Hundred Chiefs Attend the Opening Session of the Fire Engineers’ Association.

MADERA, Cin, Aug. 10.—Edward Hebron and Eugene Tully, young men at Cascade, got into an sltercation yesterday with two sheepherders in the employ of John Daulton, during which one of the herders was shot in the arm by Hebron, the ball striking him between the hand and the elbow and coming out under- neath the shoulder. The wounded man was attended to by Tully and Hebron after the shooting and to-day he was brought to town and placed under the care of a doctor. Tully and Hebron own a garden near Cascade and were working in it yesterday when the sheep broke into the garden. Tully and Hebron attempted to drive them out and one of the herders started for Tully with a club and the other drew a revolver and began to shoot. He emptied his revolver without doing much harm, one of the bullets tearing Hebron’s shirt and auother knocking the pipe out of Tully’s mouth. He then got behind a tree and attempted to reload, butin doing so exposed his arm, at which Hebron fired. His aim was true. The herders then signi- fied their willingness to quit.

Jeffries, who is matched to fight Van Buskirk on September 2, left yester. day for the Seal Rock House to train for the contest. Inall probability Billy Smith, the Aus. tralian pugilist, will handle the big Log Angeles fighter. Van Buskirk bas not yet decided where he will do his bag-punch. ing and road-tramping; he will choose be- tween Stockton and this City. Professor Walter Watscn, who is looking after the interests of the Olympian, is desirous that Van Buskirk train in this City, as then he will have an opportunity of giving the professional some good advice, Big Joe McAuliffe played & series of handball games op Sunday, and yesterday he ran ten miles over the hard roadsin the vicinity of Professor Farley’s Hotel de ug. The Mission Giant is rapidly losing flesh, and as he steps upon the scales each evening to be weighed by the old pro- fessor, Barney’s face takes on the color of the setting sun as he gazed at the her- culean frame of the giant, and pronounces it the finest in the world. 2 On Sunday Barney was visited by a number of sporting men, and he kept his guests amused with anecdotes which re- latea solely to the ring and the great fighters of the day. “This boy Joe has been unfortunate ever since the time he fought Peter Jackson,” said Barney, as he settled down to one of his famous talks on pugs and pugilism. “1 did not want him to fight a nigger, as it is bad luck anyhow, but Joe was anxious to fight everybody, and he barred nothing, black or white.” Well, 'pon me word, gentlemen, I can’t understand how Jackson whipped him. I watched every inch of the fight, and when Joe knocked Peter down I was sure then that we had everything our own way; but Jackson was too old a general for my boy and whipped him on the strength of the knowledge he possessed of the game. I lost, of course, a heap of money on the match, but mark my word for it, gentle- men, T will win it all back again bofore the next two years,” and Barney heaved a big sigh and looked fonaly at the picture of big Joe which now hangs in a promi- nent place in the reception-room of the Farley residence. “Yes; Joe went over to England and they came near murdering the boy there. That fellow Maaden, who had him in charge, should have been electrocuted long ago, as he is a bad egg, and every fighter who was under his management regretted that they had anything to do with him. He reduced my boy from 270 pounds to 210 pounds in three weeks by that anti-fat preparation, and sure the stuff came near killing him entirely. He was laid up in bed for over two months after the fight, and if he wasn’t made of the right stuff he would not be bere to-day under my charge again. “Well, gentlemen, you know what he did to Slavin up to the time that his strength left him.” Why, he nearly kilied him aud they were betting 4 to 1on Mc- Auliffe when Joe fell from a blow in the ribs and was too weak to get up. He will never again be in tbat kind of fix, and ‘pon me word, gentlemen, I am positive that my boy is a better man now than he ever was in his life, and_if he don’t whip Choynezi I will promise iyou never to speak aFuin on prize-fighting and prize- fighters.” gMcAulifie has a wonderful appetite. He yohuhes off four large porterhouse steaks Al \ DOCTOR COOIX. MANHOOD SLIPPING AWAY! — He is nervous, irritable. He is bilious, liver torpid, circulation sluegish, diges- tion and appetite poor. He feels ran down, is easily tired and has frequent headaches. THAT'S WHAT HE TALKS ABOUT.

Not even to his physician, He goes to him with one set of symptoms and gets tex:npomy relief. As to the others—he thinks that he will take better care of him- self. He does not know that his first troubles are due directly to impaired nerve and sexual force. And he does not take care of himself. He can’t control his actions as he used to, Feeble desire gives place to unnatural lust. The ability to gratify decreases as the wanton cravings increase. His other troubles grow worse.
