Young Renterias and Estrella quarrelea over a trifling matter. The forwer shot at Es- trella with a rifle and immediately took to the hills. Estrella was not injured, but Renterias was evidently of the opinion that he had killed him, for the young outlaw took pos- session of an old house in the mountains and defied the officers. He was inauced by strategy to come out, when his airest was effected. Young Renterias has twice been in the Whittier State School, but the authorities thera were glad when he es- caped the last time and no effort was made to get him back. s Pheniz Newspaper Attached.

WILLIAM BOURNE'S LUCK Shows No Bad Effects of the Fall That Almost Caused His Death. OWNS TWO STRANGE CURIOS. P(;rtions of His Spinal Column Held as Souvenirs of the Accident. SAN RAFAEL, Cav., Sept. 20.—Genial “Billy’’ Bourne, who made himse!f famous the world over a few months ago by suffer- ing a broken neck and living to tell how the sensation felt, is now summering in San Rafael and is as well as he was before he W. T. Bourne, Who Can Tell How It Feels to Have One's Neck Broken. fell over the balusters in the lodgine- housé at the corner of Kearny and Bush streets, i In the collection of curios in his room the most curious are two cervical verte- bre, white as ivory, fastened together by threads, They were once in Bourne’s own neck. It was found neces- sary to remove them while he was under treatment at the German Hospital. Bourne relates the story of the accident with a strong, hearty voice, and points to the deep scar of the incision through which the bones were taken with no ten- der touch. The oniy difference his friends notice in his appearance is a slight droop of his head forward. Formerly he stood very erect. “Following a severe attack of typhoid puneumorfia,’” saia he, “I became subject to occasional convulsions closely resem- bling epileptic fits. These would take me wholly without warning and wou!d last for several minutes. The morning when the accident occaurred I had got up to get the Sunday paper although I was feeling quite miserabl e at the time. Somebody bad taken the paper from the doorso I started out thinkisg I would get one at a newsstand. “A friend met me on the stairs and in- sisted on going with me, saying I looked very 1ll. Wuen we returned and were walking along the hall of the second floor 1 feit one of these spasms coming over me and pulled quickiy away from my friend. Thatis all I can remeinber until’ I came to in bed and found the doctor over me. I suffered no pain at all and tried to get up, but he pushed me back telling me that my neck was broken and that I ought by zood rights to be dead. My head rolled around. I had no control over it. “My fricnd told me that when I drew away from him Ithrew up my arms ard fell over the railing, down the stair- well, striking on my head on the hard floor twenty odd feet below. Itisstrange, out since then 1 have had no more epi- leptic fits.”” Tue remarkable menaing process that was used on the broken spinal columu has already peen described. It was a mooted question for a while whether Bourne would regain bis old strength and vigor. The sunlight of S8an_Rafuel nas completed the miracle, and Bourne declares he is itrongu and more active than ever be- ore. **Only,” he adds, if you happen to be an intimate friend and of robust build, please don’t slab my back with all your might. It don’t hurt particularly, but still you.might knock another vertebra out, you know.” CAUGHT AT PRINEVILLE. Runaway Bous Who Started to Join the Cuban Insurgents, PRINEVILLE, Or., Sept. 29.—J. F. Hogz of Caleb, Grant County, arrived on Bunday in quest of two lads—one his son and the other a youth namea West, aged 13 and 17, respectively.

Hogg was on their trail in a short time, and suc- ceeded in capturing the young hunrgenu here Sunday evening. They aad the horses and $85 in their possession.

SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Sepi. 20.— “Jack” Anderson, for some years cone nected with the city staff of the Daily Press and who has for a year or so posed ' as that paper’s business manager, watched with a suspicioas eye the arrangements made to expert the paper's books prepara- tory to a transfer of the journal to a new stock company, and suddenly departed on Sunday night's steamer going south. Anderson has been a feature of Santa Barbara’s streets for several years, being conspicuons for his immaculate white troysers and puttonhole bouguet of violets. He is an Albino of pronounced type and it will be difficult for him to escape detec- tion. The amount of his supposed shortage is not yet ascertained, but he isin debt to many tradesmen and succeeded in effect- ing cash loans, small and large, from numerous acquaintances on the eve of his departure. He was booked for Los Anceles. but left the steamer at Redondo, and is believed to be en route for the Mexican border, whither a warrant is pur- suing bim. ASCENDS QUILLAYUTE RIVER. Captain Boyle Avoids Treacherous Rocks by Utilizing Eieciric Lights Uncer Water. TACOMA, Wasn.,, Sept. 20.—Captain Lawrence Doyle last week made a re- markable ascent of Quillayute River, flow- ing from the Olympic Mountains into the Pacific Ocean. He describes it as follows; “There were six in our party. We pro- ceeded up the coast in the steamer Henry Russell. Previous to last July, when I made a similar trip, no steam craft had ever entered Quillayute River, because the bed of the river is rocky and dangerous to navigate, especially at low tide. Captain Johnson bad no fear of the water, al- though it was necessary to enter the river at night in order to cateh the beunefit of the high tide. It was too dark to see the rocks in the river, so a unique device was arranged to throw light through the water about the bow of the craft. A projecting iton hanger was made to run around the bow far down and on a level with the keel. To 1his hanger was attached a number of electric-light globes. Connec- tions being made with a dynamo on the boat an effulgence was thrown before the craft. We then took lenses from a tele- scope and placed them at proper distances in a long brass tube, which was thrust into the water over the bow. Every ob- struction showed up prominently and by proceeding slowly we avoided all jagged points and easily ascended the stream in a few hours. The Indians came out in canoes to greet us and as they gathered around the steamer called it the ‘big smcke ship.’ They were the most sur- prised lot of Indians I ever saw.'’ Captain Doyle intends patenting his de- vice and believes it can be made of general use. B R OVERDUE AT VICTORIA. Search to Be Instituted by the Dominion Officials for the Missing Chilean Bark Lake Leman. VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 29.—Captain James Gaudin, agent of the Marine and Fisheries Department, has received a let- ter from Chilean Consal Morris at Van- couver requesting that the Government steamer Quadra be dispatched on a cruise in search of the mrissing Lake Leman, for whose safety anxiety is daily intensified. The vessel is a Chilean bark, which was last heard of on Friday, the 18th 1nst., when it wuas run into by the Italian bark Lazzaro, which arrived at Everett from Pirie a few days later. The Leman was en route to Royal Roads from South America in ballast, and a thick fog pre- vailed at the time of the collision. The skipper of the Lazzaro, fearing that something of a grave nature had hap- pened through the accident, sent & boat 10 the Chilean vessel and offered assist- ance, which was declined, Captain Buzzo of the Lake Lemun saying that though his | headgear had been carried away he would bave no difficulty in arriving at his des- | tination. An bour later the vessels parted, and although many vessels have since been in from the cape not one has heard orseen anything of the long-missing craft. Captain Gaudin proposed to remain no longer in doubt, and would have dis- patched the Quudra yesterday in search of the Leman had the Government steamer been ready. To-morrow she is to go to Nanaimo for coal, sufficient to last her a month if needed. S STRUCK A SUBMERGED REEF.

The commissioners found that at the time tiie act creating Riverside County took effect (March 11, 1893), the total in- receiving a flesh wound. debtedness of San Bernardino County was $163,719 29 and the total value of the prop- erty of the county $213,526 98, which made an excess of property over liabilities of $40.80769. The assessed valuation of San Bernardino was $36,786.547 ana the as- sessed valuation in tle territory set apart was $8382572 The commissioners de- cided upon $15586 82 as the amount to | which Riverside Connty was entitled from | San Bernardino County. | Riverside County ciaims that the figures were erroneous. asseriing that San Bef-| nardino’s real debt was oniy $40,13942, | and that the commissioners added 1o that | $163,71929 for salaries and expenses of | Datroit, Mich,; second vice-president, | B. McFarlane of Buffal: county officers from March 11, 1893, fo | January 1, 1895, which they bad no busi- | ness to do, claiming it was not indebted- | ness in the meaning of the act. Riverside | Couniy further claims that the property estimate of San Bernardino County was erroncous and should be $465,45720. Asa result of the manner in wnich the plaintiff tigures it is claimed that Riverside County | is entitled to $132.02709, instead of| $15,586 82, and the court is requested t0 5o | adjudge. n_their answer to the complaint thel San Bernardino side alleges that far from | attempting to defraud Riverside County | many items were not included which | should have been by the commissioners, and that in reality Riverside County is not entitled to more than $10,000.

Wounded Every One in the Hoix'se, Looking for a Wite Who Had | Left Him. | HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 20.—Last night James Isaac Newton walked into the home of his fatuer-in-law, Thomas L. Lyons, with a pistol in his bands and began shocting. Lyons was shot in the head, Mrs. Thomas L. Lyons, his wife, aged 60 years, was shot in the right cheek, through the left arm and through the left hand. Thomas W. Lyons, a son, aged 30, was shot through the left side of the neck. The wounds of the son and oid lady will probably result fatally. He shot three times at his own son, 13 years of age, but none of the shots took effect. Mrs. Newton, his wife, was not | present, Newton was disarmed by young Lyons after the latter had been shot and held until officers arrived. Newton married a danghter of Thomas Lyons fifteen years ago. The marriage did not prove to be a happy one. Newton treated his wife badly, and she stood it until last July, when she decided that she could not bear itany longer and left him. | Newton became greatly enraged when he found what his wife had done, and fre- quently threatened that he would have his revenge. Last week he kidnaped his nine- year-old daughter, who had gone with her mother. Afier securing possession of the child, he demanded the surrender of her clothes, but Mrs. Newton refused to give them up. On thatoccasion he went to the house, threatening to clear out the family, but thought better of it. T T STANDS BY DR. BROWN. The Dubuque Congregational Conference Decides to Admit the Pastor as a Member of Its Body. DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept 29.—At its an-1 nual meeting at Strawberry Point to-day, the Dubuque district conference of the Congregational churches took up the| request of ° the Bay Conierence of San Francisco that -the ac- tion of the Dubuque body in condemn- ing Californians for expelling Rev. . O. Brown, after he had been acquitted by the church trial on charges of immoral con- duct with Miss Overman, be rescinded. The matter was discussed and the con- ference by a decisive majority reaffirmed its position in the case, not only refusing to rescind its resolutiqus, as requested by the Bay Conference, but decidinz to re- ceive Dr. Brown into its fellowship. This action was in airect line with that taken by the churcn in this city last week. It is predicted that the case will be taken to the highest tribunal in the church by the Californians, but the Dubugue confer- ence is determined to maintuin its posi- tion in Brown'’s behalf to the end. e ET T 0 NEW TORPEDO-BUATS, One of the Swiftest to Be Built by the Union Iron Works. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 29.—The Bath Iron Works of Maine will build two of the 30-knot torpedo-boats and the Union Iron Works of San Francisco has the contract for the remaining one; Wolft & Zwicker of Portland, Or., two 2214 knot boats and one of the little 22-knot boats, Herreshoff will have three, Columbian Iron works of Baltimore two and Hillman Bros. of Philadelphia one. This is the decision finally reached by Cnief Con- structor Hichborn and Engineer-in-Chiet Melville, to whom the numerous and com- plicated bids opened September 11 were referred. The two bureaus under these officers have devoted their energies unremittingly for the past two weeks to canvassing the relative merits of the designs offered by the various competitors for the work, and no doubt is felt that their recommenda- tions will be preciseiy followed in award- u\E the contracts. he policy pursued has been to obtain boats as large as possibl di - Lot el po: e under tbe pro: cure as many as the appro- priation of sl’.goo,mo would permit. pg‘he official revort of Commodores Hichborn and Melville to the Secretary of the Navy will probably reach Acting Secretary McAdoo some time to-morzow.
