Its Manager Looks Into a Pistol While the Cash-Drawer # Is Rifled. The Robber’s Crime Punishable With Death According to the Law of the Rand. RANDSBURG, CaL., April 11.—William H. Hev zer of the Great an Josquin Supply Company’sinterests here, was confronted in his office at3o’clock this moruing by a masked robber and liver over the contents of the forced to d c wer, amounting to $200.

Just then the masked man walked in, exclaiming: “Throw up your hands.” Hevren ar k Hum, the only other person in the place, at once obeyed. The robber kept bis revolver moving from one to the other as he edged toward the safe. He took Hevren’s pistol from it, and, aiter placing it in his pocket, said: nt your money.”’ ht; said Hevren. “I 0ok it out of the safe; it is yours.” Hevren shoved the drawer toward the robber, who t 4 bis revolver to his left hand and with the right took the tof the drawer and put it into t. Hevren asked him to leave a nicken feed” to open up on. About this time the robber became nerv- ous and did drop several coins. Backing out and gthe doorslowly, he warned them not to follow or he would kill them. The safe was wide open, with several packages of money and jewelry in full view. One sack, belonging to Willy Ken- contained $600, and a diamond ring $400 was in another purse, but the dit did not molest these packages. The robber was of medium height and wore a drab duster. His mask was made of dark cloth, with white-painted circles around the eyeholes. The fellow was tracked to Johannesburg, but there the trail was lost. This was the first genuine hold-up ever sttempted in this district and it has cre- eated much uneasiness. According to the unwritten law of the Rand, a robbery of this character is as serious a crime asa cold-blooded murder, and the perpetrator is responsible with his life to tne vigilance committee which has been formed by the miners.

SRRy e Fatal Ezploston Near Corvallis. CORVALLIS, Ok, April 11.—William Kerr, aged 24, was killed by a dynamite explosion yesterday. With two compan- ions he had been for two days dynamiting for fish in Woods Creek, a dozen miles west of town. One suck of the explosive re- mained, and they determined to explode itto avoid the danger of carrying it over the hills. Kerr, after lighting the dyna- mite, threw it down and waited for the explosion. The dynamite failed to go off end he stooped fo pick it up.

Colonel Alfred E. Buck, the New Minister to Japan. Alfred E.

He is 65 years of age. OREGON SHEEP STARVING. Owners Refused Grazing Privileges on the Verdant Ranges in Wash- ngton. PORTLAND, Or., April 1L.—E. A. Buck- ley, a sheep-raiser of Sherman County, has been told to keep off the grass by the County Commissicner of Klickitat County, Wash. This injunction will, of uecessity, be heeded, but 1t will greatly injure the sheep-raising industry of Northeastern Oregon. Buckley represents many sheep- men who have heretofore been allowed sc- cess 1o rich ranges in Klickitat County and the Mount Adams region, across the Columbia. 1t seems that the cattle and sheep men on the Columbia side want the ranges for themselve and procured the passage of a law by the Washington Legislature, which gives County Commissioners of the border counties the right tosay whether sheep may come across. Mr. Buckley, one of the most extensive wool-growers in Oregon, and another sheep man, were plainly told by tne Klickitat Commissioners that no permits would be issued. In consequence there is no summer range in sight for over 100,000 sheep which should be taken to ranges at once, as the hard winter has used up the available feed supply. Some of the sheep may be sold, but it is feared many bands will die, as the Oregon ranges are utilized by sheep from other connties. The Klickitat Commissioners say the tax heretofore coliected on migratory cate tie has added something to the county’s revenue, but does not amount to what reguiar iaxes collected from resident sheepmen would. They accordingly want to keep their yanges and stimuiate the cattie and sheep industry at home. EXPORTS FROM SEATTLE. Heavy Carjoes Carried Westward on the New Steamships ftor Japan. SEATTLE, Wasn., April 1L.—The Great Northern Nippon Yusen Kaisha's steam- ship Bakura Maru has cleared and will early to-morrow morning sail for the Orient with a cargo of about 2000 tons, valued at $160.500. Its manifest discioses principally cotton, lubricating oil, paper mill machinery and flour, consizneda to the ports of Hongkong, Kobe and Yoko- hama. The Sakura Marn left behind on the wharves awaiting shipment nearly twice as much cargo as it took. To a greater or less extent this has been the case since the arrival in this port, abont nine months 2go, of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha’s maiden ship, the Miike Maru. Of raw cottcn alone there awaits the arrival of the next vessel, the Tenshin Maru, over 2000 baies. For the week ending with the clearance of the Sakura the local custom-house receipts amounted to $37: Coming this way the Ninpon Yusen Kaisha’s steamers have not been so heavily iaden, Their cargoes range from about 100 tons, brought by the first, to 1500 tons by later vessels. It consisted mainly of teas, silks, rice, matting and Japanese curios. — CROWDS V15IT PORZ ORCHARD, Witness an Ineflcctual attemypt to Dock the Uregon. SEATTLE, Wasu., April 1i—An inef- fectual attempt to dock the battleship Oregon in the Government drydock at Port Orchard, that it might underso needed alterations and repairs, was made at noon to-day. Two thonsand excursion- ists, lured’ thither from Seattie, Tacoma and Port Townsend to witness the dock- ing, were sorely aisappointed. After the vessel had steamed up to the moutn of the docks the commandant decided that a more favorable condition of the tide could be obtained, so he announced a postpone- ment of the affair until about 1 o’clock to- morrow morning. The noon tide was not considered high enough by three inches to guarantee perfect safety. - STEIKE AT BALLAST POINT. Laborers on Government Fortifications Demand Better Food. BAN DIEGO, CaL, April 1L—Forty laborers on the Government fortification work at Ballast Point quit work last night and demanded their time from the pay- master, declaring they would work no more until better food was supplied at the boarding-nouse. No compromise has yet been effected, and the probabilities are noue of the men wiil return to-morrow. Trouble has been brewing for some time between the contractors, Gray & Co. of San Francisco, and the mien. The men are paid $1 75 a day, and $550 a deducted for bonrdy, lenvins;f uxem'l::l: ;; per week.

YUMA, Arrz, April 1L—Yuma’'s five- day fiesta closed to-day. The Plaza de Tores was the scene of two more Spanish bull-fights, and Matador James Meadows, a brother of ‘““Arizona Charlie’”” Meadows, the owner and manager of the Wild West show, was seriously wounded. He is the second man gored during the week. A magnificent black bull named Por- firio Diaz, in honor of Mexico’s President, was turned into the arena and made straight for Meadows, who moved the au- dience to applause by stepping to one side and then vaulting upon the back of the animal. But the applause died out in an expression of horror, for the next mo- ment he was upon the ground under the bull’s feet and the animal’s horns were in his body. Only the quick work of the picadors saved his life. There was no other matador in the troupe and the fight was ended by lassoing the bull and throwing him and placing bags containing corn upon his horas, whence the picadors took the sacks, Cege Attacked by Tramps Near Kitzcille, RITZVILLE, WasH, April 1L—Con- ductor G. B. Doane of thé Northern Pacific Railway bad a narrow escape from death at the hands of a tramp near here yester- day. Whie he was atiempting to drive from his freight train a number of tramps who were stealing a ride on the brake- beams one of the hobos drew a revoiver and from a distance of only abont ten feet fired at him. Fortunately the tramp’s aim was bad, and the bullet whistled by the conductor’s head. Doane stood his ground, sithough his train crew sought the shelter of the cars. In a minute or so the train had pulled up until the caboose was abreast of Doane and he got aboard. After he had done so the tramp fired four sbots into the caboose in anineffectual at- tempt to hit the conductor. BASEBALL AT ST{OCKTOY, Imperials of San Francisco Beaten Sy the Local Team. STOCKTON, CAL., April 11.—The base- ball season opened heie to-day with one of the largest crowds in attendance that has witnessed a baseball game in this city in years. The contesting teams were the Imperials of San Francisco and the Stock- ton nine. They put up as good a game of ball as any of the wildest baseball cranks could wish for. The great feature was the pitching of George Harper. This will be his last game on the coast this year, as he goes East in a few days to pitch for the Brooklyns. He pitched seven innings and struck out eight men—five in two innings. During the first seven innings only two men from San Francisco crossed t e home plate and they on errors. Loch head of Stockton took the batting honors, but when he took Harper's place in the eighth inning he did not pitch his usual game and the San Franciscans made two more runs. M. White and Harper of Stockton both lined out two-baggers. The fielding honors went to Murphy, the Im- perials’ speedy third baseman. He won the grand stand by a one-hand catch of a foul that he had to run forty yards to get. He made some splendid stops of fast grounders. Campbell and Long were the umpires and J. Harris Harlan scorer. The runs by Innings were as follows: Freano-Bakersficld Baseball Rumpus. BAKERSFIELD, Car., April 1L.—The baseball contest here to-day between the Republicans of Fresno and the Bakers- fields was deciared off at the beginning of the eighth inning, when the score stood 4103 1 favor gf the Bakersfields. The Fresno team was at the bat. The third baseman caught a ball, made a touch-out, and immediately tossed up the ball. Um: pire Burleigh of Fresno decided the man was sale, on the ground that the ball was juggled. A contention followed, when the game was called off. It was agreed to refer the matter to President Young of the National Leazue for decision. Con- siderable money was up on the game. A large crowd was present, and the contest was an exceptional one until the disa- greement arose. Won by a Santa Cruz Nine. BANTA CRUZ, Can, April 11.—The Oakland bascball team came here to-day, in the stead of the Caifornia Markets of San Francisco, to meet the Santa Cruz team at Ven de I'Eau. Santa Cruz beat the visitors by a score of 9 to4. It was a slow ame, because of the ease with which Eante Cruz played against the unequal chances of the Oaxlands. Doyle of San Jose pitched for the Santa Cruz team, striking out twelve men. A feature of the game was the heavy batting of the home team, e San Rafe m Wins. 8AN RAFAEL, CaL, April 11.—The game of basebail this aftsrnoon between the Tiburon and San Rafael teams resuited in a victory for the local nine by a score of 904 g Robin.

MOUNTED POLICE FOR THE YUKON The Government to Send a €quad of Patrolmsn to Alaska. Move Necessitated bv Highhanded M:thods of the Canadian Line-Riders, Protection to Bs Accorded to Ameri can Citizeas in Northern Mininz Regions. SEATTLE, Wasm, April 1L.—Sidney Stewart, late chie! clerk of the Northern Trast Company’s bank at Chicago, and J. T. Leight, a real-estate dealer of the same city, who are here en route to the Alaska gold fields, say that a squad of United States police is to be stationed on the Yukon this summer for the better protec- tion of American interests in that locality. This step, they state, is to be taken some time in June. and in furtherance of it Eli Gageand P. B. Weare, president of the North American Trading and Transport- ing Company, which maintains a line of steamers on the Yukon and also operates extensively in other waysin Alaska, are reported to have left Chicago last Satur- day for the National capital. Weare is a son-in-law and Gage a son of Becretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage. Some six weeks ago young Gage passed through Seattle, en route to Chi- cago from Alaska, and while here he inti- mated to friends that such a move would probably be made. It issupposed to have been hastened by reason of the action of the British Canadian Government in send- ing a second squad of Dominion police to look after the interests of England’s sub- jects in her far northern territory. The second British police squad, numbering twenty, arrived at Vancouver en route to the Yukon several days ago, It appears that the British Canadian Police have been particularly obnoxious and offensive to Americans engaged in mining on the Alaska side, in that they are given to rounding up all lawless and vicious persons and driving them over on to the United States, where they plunder and terrorize Americans. Unjust customs duties, it is said, are levied and complaints have been maie by Alaskans since the British_ mounted police was first stationed on the Yukon some eighteen months ago. Thorp had to pay a duty of 20 per cént of the cost price of the cattle he took before be could land them on the Yukon. Stewart ana Leigit are heading for the town of Dawson, N. W. T. They repre- sent they constitute an advance guard men going to the Klondyke to locate placer properties for the Gages and Cuda- bys of Chicag DURRANT IN SAN QUENTIN. No Vsitors Call at the State Prison to See the Morose Young Mur- derer, BAN QUENTIN, Civn, April 1L—Wil- liam Henry Theodore Durrant’s first day at the State prison at San Quentin passed without incident. He appeared unconcerned and spent his time in quietude. No visitors calied at the prison tosee him. His father did not come, nor were his legal advisers in evidence. According ‘o the rules of the prisona new prisoner must be measured. Durrant was compelled to submit to this ordeal, and the authorities put him through it in ashort time. He remained uncommuni- cative. The murderer finds that life hereis a trifle different from that in the County Jail in San Francisco. There he was free to see the papers and was granted other favors. Here the journals are not allowed to find their way into his hands and he is watched with considerable attention. B acut Seattle’s Distinguished Guests. SEATTLE, Wasm., April 11.—Colonel ‘W.
