English Military Operations on the Indian Frontier Concluded and Columns Return From Khyber Pass. LONDON, Dec. 28.—A dispatch from Peshawur says: The British columns have returned from Khyber Pass, after punishing, with slight opposition, the Zakka Khels in the Bazaar Valley. Military operations the frontier are now ncluded. Afridi and Orakzai valley has been visited. It now appears that the enemy’s loss has been more severe than was at first believed, and out of all proportion to their possible fighting strength. Their trade th English centers for the nec- essaries of life has been closed and their autumn tillage prevented. The complete submission of the Orakzais is now accomplished. Many hitherto unknown strategical frontier routes have been surveyed and mapped out. The vaunted prestige of the Afridis has been lowered and their punishment has paved the way for the permanent settlement of the country. It is firmly belleved that, cut off from India and threatened with a reinvasion of their country in the spring, they will now submit. It is also expected that the internal friction resulting from the operations will prove almost as severe a punishment as the operations them- selves. s Death of E. J. Estep.

NAPA, Dec. 28.—A daring burglary, some shooting and a very clever cap- ture took place in Napa since last mid- night. At 3 o’clock this morning a man broke into the residence of L. W. Mather, a merchant of this ecity, and silverware. dow and lighted a candle. The noise he made in prowling through the lower | Mather, husband, akened Mrs. it was her apartments aw who, thinking | called out, “Is that you, Tom?” This caused the burglar to scamper of the house, and Mather was aroused. He seized his revolver, and, opening a front window, beheld the in- vader running across thestreet. Mather fired at the fellow, but missed. His escape for the time being was effected, but there are some clever offi- cers in Napa. Constables Allen and Secord, who are known and dreaded by the burglar fraternity, learned the di- rection the man had taken by the bark- ing of watchdogs. hur to the vicinity of the railroad depot, and, after waiting a few mo- ments, a man approached their place of concealment. They ordered him to throw up his hands, and as he did so a clock belonging to Mrs. Mather fell from beneath his coat. He was taken to jail, where everything stolen from the Mather residence was found upon his person. He confessed his guilt, and laughingly remarked that the job was hardly the success he had wished for. He will plead guilty, he says, and “take his medicine” like a man. His name he gave as James Rupp, and he told the officers that he hailed originally from Oregoun, but had of late made his home in San Francisco. He is a tough-looking character, and Sheriff McKenzie is of the opinion that the perpetrator of all the recent burg- laries committed in Napa is now behind the bars. EDITOR McCLATCHY NOT GUILTY OF CONTEWPT. The Supreme Court Decides That Judge Catlin Erred in Imposing a Fine. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 28.—The Su- preme Court of the State of California, Accordingly they | | | Justice Van Fleet writing the decision | and Justices Beatty, McFarland and Gagoutte concurring, with Justices Henshaw, Temple and Harrison dis- senting, has just decided the contest case of the editor of the Bee in favor of the petitioner and against Judge P. Catlin. On June 5, 1898, C. K. McClatchy, the editor of the Bee, was 500 for contempt of court, such alleged con- tempt consisting of an editorial which he had written in denunciation of Judge A. P. Catlin for certain state- ments of the latter from the bench in the Talmage vs. Talmage case. The editor was not allowed to put in testimony to prove that he was in the right and the Judge in the wrong, and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. In the decision written by Justice | Van Fleet only one proposition is look- ed into, and the case is decided against <on the ground that “the petitioner was denied his constitution- al right to be heard in his defense.” In the concurring opinion of Justice | Beatty he goes farther than the others | and says: “The report of the newspaper was not an attack upon the court or an in- terference with the proceedings of the the man, for which, if it were malicious and unfounded, he had the same and no other means of redress than the law gives to every citizen who is the victim of a libel.” In the dissenting opinion the posi- tion is taken that the editor of the Bee was granted all his rights in the matter by Judge Catlin and that he was clearly in contempt of court.

Possibly Fatal Accident to a Monterey County Resident. SALINAS, Dec. 28.—John Larsen, a resident of Chualar, met with an acci- dent this afternoon that may resuilt in his death. He was hauling water in casks that were tied to the bed of a wagon drawn by spirited horses. The horses became frightened and ran away, upsetting the wagon and throw- ing the driver and the casks to the ground in a heap. Persons who wit- nessed the accident went to Larsen’s assistance. His right ear had been torn off and the scalp peeled around to the opposite side of his head. The in- Jured man, unconscious and unrecogni- zable, was taken to Chualar, where an examination revealed the fact that the right jaw bone had been broken in two places. As yet it is not known whether he will recover. e g n e Monterey Stockmen Organize. SALINAS, Dec. 28.—The organiza- tion of the Monterey County Stock- men's Association was perfected yes- terday afternoon by the election 6f the following officers: President, Hon. J. R. Hebbron; vice-president, S. L. Mat- thews; secretary, B. V. Sargent; treas- urer, H. E. Abbott. A board of trus- tees was selected, consisting of promi- nent stock raisers of this county.

Accused by Sausalito’s Land Company of Stealing Liquid Property. Why the Electric Light Plant's Boilers Were Empty on Sev- eral Occasions. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, Dec. 28.—The dove of peace no longer hovers over Sausalito, for the breeziest sensation that has rufled the calm spirits of the town people for some time came to light to- day, and war to the death has been declared bet n the Sausalito Land and Ferry Compar 1 the North Pacific Coast Railroad. SuPerintendent M. M. er of the Land and Ferry Company swore to criminal complaints against Master Mechanic Thomas of the North Pacific Coast road and Edward Franklin, an employe of the railroad at its shops near here. The charges allege that Thomas and Franklin tapped the water pipes of the Land Company and stole the wa- | ter; that they did this without the pé&r- mission or consent of the Land Com- pany, and that at the time they well knew that they were doing an unlaw- ful act. Such are the allegations of the com- plaint which Superintendent Grover swore to, acting under the instructions of Commodore C. H. Harrison, presi dent of the Sausalito Land and Ferry Company, who in turn asserts that he is only following the course laid out by the directors of the Land Company. The railroad authorities are indig nant, and President J. B. Stetson and Superintendent J. H. Shoemaker of the North Pacific Coast road say in positive terms that the suit is induced | by spite and that there is no truth in the charges. “It is an Infamous lie,” said Superin- tendent Shoemaker this evening, “and we pay for every gallon of water we take from the pipes of the Land and Ferry Company. The water which they allege was taken was used to fill the tanks on the hill above the railroad shops and is used for fire purposes. Thomas obtained permission from Grover of the Land Company b re he used the water and there was no stealing whatever. We intend to make it hot for these people now."” ‘While the denials of the railroad peo- ple are emphatic the story related by the Land and Ferry Company is inter- esting. It seems that the electric light plant which supplies Sausalito’s homes and streets with illumination was closed on the nights of November 25, 26 and 27, for the reason that no water could be obtained to run the boilers. The Elec- tric Light Company recelved its supply from the Land Company, but on those nights the pipes were dry and with the absence of water came an absence of light. This situation caused no end of wor- ry to the Land Company’'s people, and they set out to investigate, learn- ing, as they claim, that Thomas and Franklin at midnight attached a hose to the pipe and drew the water for the use of the railroad. M. M. Grover, with two assistants, camped on the night of the 25th of November near the railroad shops and kept an outlook. They claim that the employes of the railroad came to the pipes late in the evening and tapped them. Grover laid in wait for three nights. He intimates that over 120,000 gallons of water has been taken in this manner from the pipes by Master Me- chanic Thomas and those acting under him in the employ of the North Pacific Coast Rallroad. The matter was brought to the atten- tion of District Attorney Martinelli by C. H. Harrison and M. M. Grover. They said that on November 28, Grover placed Franklin under arrest for tam- pering with the water pipe. lin was taken before Commodore Har- rison, where he said thet he was act- ing under instructions from Thomas. Thomas has acknowledged giving or- ders to Franklin, but said that neither Superintendent Shoemaker nor Presi- dent Stetson of the railroad company know anything about the tanks being empty. . The next night Grover again caught them at the same act. Commodore Har- rison lectured the men and they prom- ised not to do it again. However the very same night Grover found the hose attached to the pipe for the same pur- pose. pon Grover's oath the war- rants for the arrest of Thomas and Franklin were issued and placed in the hands of Constable John Gannon for service, Railroad | Frank- | WEBB™S GUILT NOT PROVED School Director Acquitted on a Charge of Malfeasance. Attempt to Remove Him From His Office Meets With Failure. Contradictory Evidence Given by the Two Witnesses for the Prosecution. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 28.—In Judge | Van Dyke's department of the Super- |ior Court to-day it took a jury jusli | three minutes to declare Walter L. | Webb of the Board of Education not | | guilty. Webb was charged with mal- | | feasance in levying upon a Janitor’s | v, and the proceedings were to re- | e him from office. The witnesses | against him were C. H. Axtell, super- intendent of school buildings, and J. F. Adams, who lately resigned from the ol board. Both of these men ad- mitted having perjured themselves be- fore the Grand Jury, and their evi- | dence was a mass of contradictions | and evasions. Adams swore that his memory was defective, and, while he swore he paid Webb money, if Webb denied it he | would rather trust Webb’s word than | his own memory. The three daily papers of this city, which have urged this prosecution of Webb and assailed him bitterly, have now turned the vials | San Francisco. of their wrath upon Adams and have | driven him to his bed. { The impression is that Axtell and | Adams_will both be indicted by the Grand Jury. | of FEducation was resumed to-night, | | and the evidence was very much in his | favor. His attorneys have declared | their intention of putting every | teacher, janitor and other employe of | | every merchant from whom supplies | were bought, upon the stand to prove that Webb never asked nor took any | money for them. If this is done it will | cost the city something like $10.000 in | stenographers’ fees alone, which will represent the net good the League for Better City Government has conferred upon the municipality by the prosecu- tion of Webb. BOOTI-TUCKER'S TRIP DELAYED Will Not Arrive in Time to Attend Saturday’s Coloniz- ation Meeting. | Startling Charges Made by Him Re- garding Mrs. Ballington Booth’s Illness. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Dec. 28.— Commander | Booth-Tucker will not reach San Fran- | cisco in time to participate in the big meetings arranged for next Saturday | in connection with the furtherance of colonization schemes. He arrived on the limited nearly three hours behind time, too late to catch the Santa Fe | overland, and will be forced to remain twenty-four hours in Chicago. Regard- | ing the colonization scheme he is very | sanguine, and says he is greatly en- | couraged by the outlook. To a reporter who asked the leader | of the Salvation Army regarding Mrs. | Ballington Booth’s illness he made the | startling statement that at no time has | that lady been seriously ill and charged Ballington Booth with having dictated | exaggerated bulletins regarding his | wife's condition, with a view toward | arousing public sympathy not so much for the allegedly sick woman as for | | the American Volunteers, of which the | Booths are the head and front. | | Since Mrs. Booth has been con- fined to her bed in the Presbyterian Hospital it has been freely and openly | charged that her illness is largely due to the treatment accorded her and her husband by General Booth and other members of her husband's fam- ily, which at times amounted to per- | secution. | These stories, Booth-Tucker says, | were fabrications, having no founda- | tion. in fact, and told with a view of | doing the Salvation Army an injustice. | Booth-Tucker will look over the Chi- i cago headquarters to-morrow and to- | morrow night leave for San Francisco, which he hopes to reach some time Saturday night. The trial of Webb before the Board | | tive | comes as a shock. COWARDY'S HAND DEALS DEATH When Murdered by His Foe Rancher French ‘Was Unarmed. The Oregon Millionaire Shot as He Turned to Ride Avway. Had Quarreled Bitterly With a Stranger, Whose Identity Is Not Known. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WINNEMUCCA, Nev.,, Dec. 28.— David Crow, a messenger, arrived here to-day bringing further particulars of the murder of Peter French, the mil- lionaire stockman of Eastern Oregon, who was shot dead on his Harney County ranch cn Sunday afternoon by an unknown stranger. Crow had been in the saddle for forty-three hours Wwithout resting and had changed horses nine times. Crow says French and a party of vaqueros had rounded up a band of cattle and were about to drive them into a fleld on his ranch. French went ahead on horseback to open a gate, and, having done so, started back to the cattle. A man on horseback inter- cepted him and they seemed to be dis- puting for several minutes. French started- to ride away, but got only a few feet when the man drew a pistol and shot him. French feil to the ground dead, with a bullet fn his brain. The murderer rode away and French's men, being unarmed, made no attempt to capture him. Notice was at once sent to the offi- cers at Burns, forty-six miles from the scene of the tragedy. French's men Te too far away at the time of the killing to recognize the man who did it. He is thought, however, to be one of a band of squatters who have been an- noying French, and against whom he had law suits pending. French was 48 years old, and one of the best known cattiemen on the coast. His Oregon ranch is valued at $2,000,000. His divorced wife, a daughter of the late Dr. Glenn of Colusa, Cal., lives in His will, made three yvears ago, has been forwarded from here to F. C. Lusk, an attorney of Chico, Cal. It is understood that the bulk of the estate is bequeathed to his 14-year-old son, living with the mother. French had many violent enemies in the section where he lived, and often | expressed the belief that he would be murdered some day. He was in the habit of going armed, but was without a weapon when shot down by the cow- ardly assassin. WELL KNOWN IN CALIFORNIA. Rancher French Won Fame in the Border Wars With Indians. SAN JOSE, Dec. 28.—Private dis- patches received here to-day state that the slayer of Rancher French was one Oliver and convey the impression that the crime was committed on a street of Canyon City. French and Oliver had quarreled over land. Peter French was a rich cattleman and well known in California. He was the son-in-law of the late Dr. Glenn of Colusa, and was for a long time asso- ciated with him in his big wheat and cattle ranch enterprises. He was a brave, generous man, and had an exciting career, hav- ing won fame in border war with Indians. Of late years he had been raising cattle in Oregon, spending some time there and some time in San Fran- cisco and at other California points. His headquarters in Oregon were on the Glern ranch, in HarneV County. He had returned but a few days ago from Chicago, where he sold 1000 head of cattle and was to have been here with- in the next four or five days. The Misses Bert, Mrs. Tuerman and Mrs. Rooker, residents here, are rela- and to these and other numerous acquaintances the news of his murder PREVESA FORTS AGAIN FIRE OR GREEK GUNBOATS. This Action Is Supposed to Be Intended to Be a Precedent for Closing the Gulf of Ambracia. LONDON, Dec. 28.—The Athens cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph says; As the Greek gunboats to-day were leaving the Gulf of Ambracia they were fired on a second time by all the Prevesa forts. The garrison, which was outlying the quay, also fired re- peated volleys, though no damage was done. This action, after Turkey had apologized, is supposed to be intended to create a precedent for closing the gulf. The forts at Prevesa fired upon the Greek gunboat Actium on Saturday wast as she was leaving the gulf of Am- bracia. The Actium and several other gunboats that were following her were compelled to return to their anchor- ages. The Greek Government instruct- ed Prince Mavrocordato, Greek Minis- ter at Constantinople, to ask the Tur- kish Government for a friendly expla- nation, and the Porte replied that the incident was due to a misunderstand- ing. CORBETT MUST GET A RECORD This Condition Still Im- posed by Champion Fltzsimmons. Willing to Fight After the San Franciscan Has Whipped a Heavy-Weight. Will Meet McCoy, Too, When the “Kid” Has Defeated a Good Man in His Class. Speclal Dispatch to The Call CHICAGO, Dec. 28.—Martin Julian to-day on behalf of Robert Fitzsim- mons made the following signed state- ment: : “Fitzsimmons will defend the right to the title of champion. Mr: Ft!;- simmons has released him from his promise of retirement.” Referring to the conditions on which Fitzsimmons will fight Corbett and McCoy, Julian's statement says: “These conditions are as follows: Let Corbett beat a man like Maher or Choynski and establish his right as a member of his class; let McCoy beat his way up to a commanding position and come along with his challenge afterward. But first McCoy must fight a fit opponent at the middle weight limit and not at catch weights.” The statement concludes as follows: I am not going to allow Mr. Fitz- simmons to accept offers from inferior men. When the proper time comes Fitzsimmons will meet them one after another in the same ring, if needs be. MARTIN JULIAN, Manager of Bob Fitzsimmons, world's champion middle weight and heavy veight. W YORK, Dec. 28 —William A. Corbett’s manager, smiled knowingly when he read Fitzeimmons’ ditions for a battle with Corbett. Corbett will never fight Mabher, Sharkey or Choynski,” said Brady, de- cidedly. “The only pugilist he will agree to make a match with is Fitz- simmons. Jim lost the fight with the Australian at Carson City through carelessness. As it was, he had all the better of it up to the time he was knocked out. Corbett is thoroughly in earnest about another contest with Fitz, and he will sign articles at any time the Australian names. If he thinks Corbett is blufing I will post $2500 with Dan Stuart, George Siler or Louis Houseman as a forfeit for a match.” “Kid” McCoy was delighted when shown Fitzsimmons’ statement regard- ing the conditions under which the champion would agree to fight. “I wish Fitzsimmons had accepted my challenge,” said the Kid; “but I will agree to meet any middle-weight he names. To show you that I am thor- oughly in earnest in the matter, I in tend to post a forfeit of $1600 with Al Smith to-morrow to bind a match with any mid- dle - weight in the world Fitz may seiect. I challenged Fitz to fight me for the middle-weight championship of the world at the middle-weight limit—158 pounds. He has replied that he would fight me only after I had fought and defeated some man in my class. I accept Fitzsimmons’ terms and my money will be up to-morrow. Let the Australian pick the middle-weight he wants me to fight,” continued Mec- Coy, * and I will make the match at once. If I defeat the opponent Fitz- simmons selects I will expect him to keep his word and make a match with me for the middle-weight championship of the world, a side bet of $5000 and the largest purse offered.” SO - BICYCLE MEN FIGHT. Michael's Manager Strikes One of the Trainers ‘of Taylore. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—There was a short but lively squabble at Madison Square Garden to-day that showed the ill-feeling left by the result of the Michael-Chase race of last Saturday. Michael-and Taylore, the French cham- pion, have been training for their race on next Saturday and this afternoon were out for practice, with about twen- ty pacemakers each. In the course of the afternoon A. A. Chase and his brother came out“on a tandem and paced Taylore a few miles. David Schaefer, Michael's manager, objected to Chase’s presence on the track, and, when his remonstrances were mnot heeded, picked up a bit of scantling and was about to throw it on the track in front of the Chase brothers’ tandem, when comebody seized his arm and held him. Chase dismounted and got into an argument with Schaefer. Accounts differ as to what followed, but all agree that Schaefer struck Chase a heavy blow with his fist, and when Chase was about to reply in kind bystanders stepped in between them. Chase says he will take the matter before the League of American Wheelmen. Ela A, EVEBHARDT AND DALY DRAW. Both Men on Their Feet at the End of the . Tenth Round.
