Oct. 25.—Argument in ths trial of Dan Dutcher for killing George W. | Schofield was opened this morning by | Deputy D.strict Attorney Partridge. Judge Lorigan’s courtroom was crowded with spectators, an unusuaily large number of women being present. Dutcher’s father and sister sat beside him, while Miss Lena Schofiela and Mrs. Clark Johnson, daughters of the murdered man, occupied seats near District A'tor- ney Scheller. Just before the opening of court a pretty and stylishly dressed young woman walked up and laid a beantiful bouquet of flowers on the desk before A:- torney Scheller, counsel for Dutcher, but retired before her identity could be | learned. Deputy District Attorney Partridge said he would open the case by going over the testimony presented and would leave the argument for District Attorney Herring- ton to make. He saia the testimony of Mrs. Schofield and Dutcher could not be relied upon, for they had perjured them- selves at the Coroner’s inquest by telling the story thev had concocted just after the murder. They had lied then and wby would they not again lie atthe defend- i English. OFFICERS CLASH WITH NEXICANS Battle Fought on the Desert West of Yuma. | | Striking Railway Employes Resist a Sheriff’s Posse. Several Membsrs of ths Mob Shot Down and One Deputy Wounded, pecial Dispatch to THE CALL. YUMA, Oct. —A bloody battle was fougut at Mammotk Tank, jorty-five miles west of Yuma, this afternoon at 3:30, between Yuma County officers and 260 striking railroad employes. The strikers | are Mexicans from Sonora, and speak no | The officers were not ia the county to guell the disturbance, but were | in search of Juan Juerves, who murdered | a Mexican at Fortuna, this county, sev- | eral aays ago. It is thought he partici- vated in to-day’s battle at Mammoth | Tank, but when the officers reached there | they had not one man, although hinself | desperate, to capture, but a mob of 26) in. furiated Mexican strikers to subdue. Deputy Shenffs George Wilder and | James Jones were met at Mammoth Tank by Sheriff Mel Greenleal, who was on the eastbound passenger train, returning home from Los Angeles, where a telegram reache! him informinghim to stop at the point of disturbance, join his subordi- nates and arrest the instigators and lead- ers of the trouble. The mob of 260 Mexi- cans were gathered two or three hundred | yards from the track, and were armed with all manner of weapons. The foreman who bad charge of the sec- ant’s trial in order to save their own lives? He sail: Was Dan Dutcher in fear of hislife at the time he fired the fatal shot and was he afraid that Mrs. Schofield would be killed ? This the question, gentlemen of the jury, you have to suswer. Innnswering this you will deter- mine whether Dutcher is guilty of murder in the first degree, the second degree or of man- slaughter. In considering the question and arriving at an answer you will look back to the marriage £ Mrs. Schofield with her husband. Mrs. Scho- field knew her husband ten years before she married him. With this perfect knowledge of him sig cast ner lot with his. There is no tes- timony lere 10 show any reflection ou the murdered mau prior to his marriage with Mr- Schofield. Rememoper tbat Mrs. sch knew bim well, aud vet she comes here and there testimony offered that within one | year after the marr.age (roble began. Schofield was twenty years th wife. It is staled that he wasa jealous man atd that the woman was often abused. Taey have it here that Schofield haa threatened his wiie with guu, knives, hammers and what | | not. butit s notceabié er put any of his tnreais execution. He was bluffing ihen and blufliag oaly. She stood | this for years, for she knew le meant no serious harm to her. Schofieid was forced to do this to meke her behave herself. Itsoured his temper, as he hud to be threatening her to keep her trom doing wrong. Had this women any more reason to fear for ner life on August 6 last than at any time dur- ing all the years past? She comes now and | says she was efraid ber husband wou:d kill her. If those stories be true, why had she suf. fered it all these tweive or thirteen years? Wny didn’t sbe leave the place? Auy court would have xranted her relief. Why did Mrs. Schofieid continue # live with the man? She left him once—now why did shereturn tohim? It 1s significant that she mauifested no fear vntil she had puta homesiead on the place, and'had then a man take up the cudgel for her. She had this defendant ready to kil her husband. He was the man ready to wreak vengeance. Attorney Partridge contended that Mrs. Sciofield nud no fear of her husband, or she wouid have left the place the morn- ing of the murder after her husband had tureatened her life. He arkued along the line of the improbability o the story of the defense. The defendant and Mrs, Schofield could have rendered the gun harmiess the night belore the murder had they so wished, and thus prevented Schofield fror doing any harm ‘ He asked the jury not to allow its sympathy to be worked upon by the pieas of defendant’s connsel, and to find a verdic: according to law and | the evidence produced. | Attorney Scheller followed. He spoke for an hour and a half and wiil concludie hisargumentin tue morning. He claimed tie killing was in self-defense. Dutcher | and Schotield had been [riends up to the | night before the murder, and there was no motive for the defendant to kill the rancher. As 1o a conspiracy existing be- tween Mrs. Schofield and Dutcher, he said it was absurd. He said there wasa discrepancy in the tesiimony of the prose- cution’s witnesses, and the evidence tendered to show ihat Du:cher killed Schotield in defense of himself and Mrxa. Schofield. FURBEARING HERDS FAST DISAPPEARING Thousands of Pups Die on the Rookeries Becauss of Palagic Sealing. Dismal Reports Brougiht From the North by ths Revenue | Cutter Perry. Special Dispatch 10 THE CALL | ASTORIA, Oct. 25 —The revenue cutter | ! { | Perry, on her late B:ring Sea cruise, trav- eled 10,000 miles inspeciing sealing sta- tions and islands. Inall this cruiss not over 300 -eals were seen in the water. Thirty American and Canadian sealing vessels wers engaged during the season, and uv to September 20 their catch was about 12,000 seals. The highest number taken by any vessel was about 1400, the average being 400. Tuousands of pup seals died on the rookeries because of the pelagic sealing. It seems to be the policy of the British Government not to interfere with the plans and operations of Canada. The Canadians care little or nothing for the future of the sealing industry. They want what they can get out of if present.

The officers, realizing their | | inability to cope with tne Mexican horde, | secured their dead or wounded comrade— | | they knew not which ihen—and retreated to the train. The run into Yuma was made as rapidiy as possible and a large posse is now forming to wreak vengeance and secure the men the officers tried so hard to get. Wilder will not die probably, although his vounds, which it seems were all in- flicted with rocks, are desperate. More troudble will surely ensue, as Yuma is wrought 10 a high pitch of excitement.

CAST INT0 PRSON John Augustine Arrested by Nicaragua Officials on a | Flimsy Pretext. However, Minister Baker Inter- | fered and Caused the Release of the Accused Man. Special Correspond-nce of THE CALL MANAGUA, Nicaragra, Oct. 11— | John Augustine, an American cit zen, was of | the San Juan River, on September 24, by order of President Zslaya’s brother, and | without any pretense of a trial was im- | prisoned in the penitentiary.

On | September 17 Mr. Augnstine was ordered by a Government official to direct the | | movements of the boats, apparently for | the purpose of getting the company to | feed and pay the men on board. This | Augustine refused to do unlessthe boats were turned over to the company and he | received orders from the latter to comply | with the Government's demand. Under | these circumstances, Mr. Augustine re- | questea the Nicaragua military officer commanding at Fort San Carlos 1o tele- 10 the company for iastructions. But instead, itis asserted, this officer tele- graphed something to his superior officer, | which caused an order for the arrest of Mr. Augustine to ba issued, ‘‘whether he is a citizen of the United States or not.”’ FISHING FILLAG=S FLOCDED.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25—The Union Pacific reorganization committee has maae the following announcement : “The Attorney-General has notified this commitiee that he propcses to ask the court for an adjournment of the fore- closure sale of the Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific railway property to Decem- ber 15, so as to postpone the final dis- position after Congress shall have met. This action is no doubt taken to free the adminis:ration from embarrassment. “The reorganization committee however, reacued the conclusion that the interest of the security-holders rep- resented by it, and of the syndicate fur nishing the funds to finance the reorgan- ization, requires a settiement without any turther deluy. Io this situation the com- mittee contemplates, in order to gain prompt possession of the Union Pacific | line, to oppose any adjournment of the sale of the main line and tobid it in, if need be, for the fuil amount of the Govern- ment’s claim, the additional sum involved in this being about $8,000,000. “‘As to the Kansas lines the foreclosure upon the subsidized di- visions of the Kansas Pacitic Railway will be energeuically pressed, and when these foreclosures shall be accompiished the reorganization of the Kansas Pacific line will be completed as planned. “All allotments under the plans of the Kansa< Pacific hoiders, amounting to about $15000,000 in new bonds and 000,000 in preferrea stock, will remain re- served for the reorganization of the Kan- | ine.
