Seimiay il Agents of Attorney General Ford Do Daring Detec- tive Work. REDDING, Aug. 13.—Every member of the mob which took Calvin Hall and his three sons and Daniel Yantis from the custody of a Constable and his deputies |at Lookout, Modoc County, several months ago and hanged them to a bridge near town will be brought to justice. So declared Fred H. Jackson, who has made an investigation of the late tragedy for Attorney General Tirey L. Ford, and who passed through here last night on the way to San Francisco to make his report. | Jackscn is employed as a Wells-Fargo messenger on the Jackson and Ione stage |and made himself famous in the battle wkich resulted in the death of John Son- tag and the capture of Chris Evans, gin which fight he lost a foot. Shortly after | the Mcdoc lynching he appeared in this vicinity, ostensibly to spend several meoenths at his wife's former home on {naée out against each member of the eling, Mc- | y and | = | Churn Creek Bottom, near Redding, but in reality to assist the State in establish- | ing the identity of the lynchers. The pub- lic in general failed to suspect the occa- sion of his visit, but the guilty members of the midnight party of Lookout did so immediately. It now seems that their representatives stopped at a Churn Creek Bottom home, where Jackson spent a_few lays as a blind, and, waiting_upon him, warned him to depart. Unmindful of this, Jackson went straight to the stronghoid of the lynchers and, dvowing the purpose of his visit, began his-investigation. He | | was again waited upon after his arrival | | there, but declined to take cognizance of | eats made against him. He completed | investigation and departed without | molestation. Jack says that the hanging of the five men was entirely unjustifiable. He Zeels confident that a clear case' can be ynching part: ad, but refused to divulge. “They were not a very brave lot of men and they are now thoroughly cowed,” said Jackson. “They are all equally guilty and | will have to pay the penaity. T paid abso- lutely no attention to their warnings and | | threats, and think I can prove their guilt. | the names of whom he When shown the foregoing dispatch last | evening, Attorney General Tirey L. Ford | _“About a month ago I sent Eugene | Thacker, a son of the Wells-Fargo detec- | tive, and Fred H. Jackson up to Modoc to_obtain evidence against the lynchers. They have been working in the vicinity of Lookout ever since and haye ®ot enough evidence to make certain the conviction of Eades, Brown and Levan- ton, the three men now -in_custody for | participation in the outrage. You can alto publish the fact that these three men are | not_the only ones who will be made to answer for the hanging. “The trial will not take place until some time in September, as the defendants have | got out a writ of prohibition against Judge J. H. Harrington of Modoc County, and that will delay the case for a couple of months. The State has more evidence than it needs right now and is ready to go on with the trial to-morrow. We know the name of every man connected with the lynching and the exact degree of cul- pability of each individual, and we will make them wish they had respected the law befor@we get through with them. | “T myself, assisted by Charles N. Post and George A. Sturtevant, will conduct the prosecution. The outrmge was So gross, henious and glaring that the whole power of the State will be employed to punish them, and, as I said before, we are | certain of bringing the ringleaders to an- swer for their crime. The punishment of the convicted men will be either death or 1ife imprisonment.” | | GIVES THE EMPLOYES A MILLION IN STOCK General Palmer, Formerly of the Rio Grande Western, Shows His Generosity.

Senor Herran, Chafge d’Affaires of Co- lombia_here, is inclined to believe that there is some mistake about the report that Dr. Sanclemente’s friends are.con- tributing materially to the support of the insurrection. He received cable messages from Colombia until July 27, since when cable communication has been interrupt- ed, and his dispatches of much later date than July 8 contain no information con- firming mail advices received by the State Department. On the contrary, up to the time when cable communication ceased all | of Senor Herran's advices tended to show | that quiet was being restored throughout | Colombia and that only scattered guer- rilla bands were in the field in opposition to_the Government. Senor Herran will Jeave Washington to- morrow for New York, where he will meet members of his family, who will ar- rive from Colombfa. Later in the month he will sail for Europe to inspect the Co- Mombian consulates of European countries. He is convinced that if his Government considered the situatio ry critical they would not seni him away and leave no representative in Washington. For a Greater Colombia. The attention of officials here has been attracted to the manifesto issued by Gen- eral Uribe-Uribe, leader of the Colombian revolutionists, declaring for a ‘‘greater Colombia,” and although nothing of an officlal nature has been received on the subject vet it appears to bear out the ideas held for some time as to the scope of the present trouble. According to t manifesto Uribe-Uribe is seeking to uni the interests of Colcmbia, Venezuela and Ecuador. There is an entire lack of offi- cial information here concerning the pro- gress of affairs in elther Venezuela or Colombla. Whether ths Colombian Min- ister actually has left Venezuela, as re- ported in a press dispatch from Willem stad, is not known here.

Young Newton was accosted on Sun- day on the street by a strange young man and after some conversation was invited to eat some candy from a box. He ate several pieces and immediately was taken violently ill. The physicians pronounced it a case of arsenical poisoning and bare- ly saved Newton's life. The fact as to the poisoning was sup- pressed until to-day, when Newton re- ceived another anonymous letter filled with abuse ani stating that as the candy did not kill him they would get him yet unless he left town by to-morrow night. The letter has been sent to the postal authorities at Spokane for investigation. Three Dwellings in Ruins. MADERA, Aug. 13.—Three residences belonging to John Hosler, O. T. Redfield and D. B. Fowler were destroyed by fire late this afternoon. The loss was $1000, partially insured. the Minister would be in line with what was foreshadowed when the American Charge de’Affaires, Mr. Russell, in Ven- ezuela, asked for authority to represcnt Colombia in case the Minister withdrew. The Navy Department had no word io- day from the Machias. The latter is tak- ing on ammunition at Norfolk and the de- partment has telegraphed asking when she will be ready to sall. The department believes that the delay will not be over | two days at the most. —_— TURIBE REPORTED KILLED. Colombian Insurgents, However, Do Not Believe the General Is Dead.

The friends of General Uribe consider it sig- nificant that the Colembian Government has not sent the news by cable to its rep- | resentatives, for the Colombian Consulate here has not been officially notified. While there is nothing definite on which to base a denial of the report, the general's friends discredit it on the ground that severa! times during the rebellion a year ago General Uribe was declared Killéd in attle | No direct news has been received from General Uribe since June 15, when, it 1s said, he sailed from this city for Venezu- ela. Colombian officlals said that he went there to secure aid from President Castro in the shape of arms and ammunition for the rebellion. Since then Dr. A. J. Restrepo, the diplomatic representative | of the insurgents, has received indirect information that Uribe reached Colombia | safely and js fighting at the head of 15.000 men. Direct news from General Uribe was ex- pectad a week ago, but it did not come. | His friends were disappointed again_to- | day, when the steamer Zuilia of the Red D line arrived without bringing a letter from him. Dr. Restrepo sald to-night that he did not believe the report of General Uribe's death, and hoped to be in a posi- tion to give positive evidence in a day or | two that he is alive and fighting. Senor Eduardo Espinoza, ex-Consui General of Colombia in this city, also dis- | credited the story. against the Colombian invaders. | aut R e s e e S SR Y CENSURE FALS UPON BALFOUR LONDON, Aug. 14.—The House of Com- mons passed the factories bill to a third reading last night after a heated debate, which arose out of the action of the Gov- ernment in withdrawing a clause includ- ing laundries within the scope of the bill, because the Nationalists strongly objected to official inspectiop of the Catholic con- ventual laundries, on the ground that such_insoection would be subversive of the discipline it is necessary to maintain in.reformatory laundries conducted by nuns for fallen women. ' Ritchie, the Home Secretary, and Bal- four frankly admitted that this conces- slon was necessary, supporters of the Government hotly de- xtmlounced it as a surrender to Irish obstruc- on. The Conservative papers are anj at what they describe as & “cowardrs Sur: render” and ‘‘melancholy weakness.” They attribute the result to Balfour's mismanagement of the House in driving important contentious business into the last days of the session. - —_— In the South 5,000,000 cotton spindles are at work, or one-third the number in oper- ation in the North. , 13.—The Times to- | hority for this re- | but many of the| PROBE CHARGES AGAINGT POLIGE New York Officials Seek Evidence of Cor- ruption.

Frank Moss of the Society for the Prevention of Crime was present during the proceed- ings. % Twenty persons had been summoned to give testimony, among them Captain Wat- son A.

They came back in a few min- utes, bringing with them Retfer Delacey, proprietor, and three assistants of an al- leged poolroom on Park Row, which Frank Moss alleges was ‘“tipped off” by Captain Vrendenburg Friday night when the trap which has caused such a sensa- tion was sprung. rome was ask2d if anything had devel- oped so far which lea to the discredit of Whitney’s testimony or its corroboration. He_said: “Nothing has been adduced so far which causes us to doubt Whitney's testimony.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Dr. Jacob H.

LAW TROUBLES THE HAWAIIANG Serious Question Raised Abcut Land Owner- ship. HONOLULU, Aug. 6.—J. J. Dunne, act= ing United States District Attorney, has written to Washington for Instructions as to the enforcement of the clause in the organic act of Hawaii, which states that no corporation in the islands shall hold and acquire more than 1000 acres of land. The matter was brought up in a suit of J. B. Atherton against the Wahiawa Su- gar Company, the defendant making a claim that Atherton had no standing in & court of equity, as he was violating, ai trustee of a corporation, the provision re. ferred to.
