Modoc Lynching Case Gives Promise of Some Sen- sations. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. ALTURAS, Dec. 19.—The impassioned remarks of lawyers, the frequeht flaring up of hot-tempered witnesses and a good- sized crowd of attentive and picturesque auditors made this day interesting in the Brown case, or as it is more popularly called, the Modoc lynching case. The morning session of the court was pretty much devoid of incident, but the afternoon developed enough of sensation to satisfy even the most exacting of metropolites. It was a session brimful of excitement and the wonder is that it did not end in serious encounters. Witness Courtwright was again put on the stand for cross-examination by the defense. “He stated that he never said anything about a halter, ropes or splicing ropes, “and the record of my testimony to that effect taken by the reporter is in | error,” he declared.

The witness rushed from the stand and struck at Raker, who in turn struck Courtwright on the head with & rod. The | Sheriff separated the combatants and the’ court threatened the witness and Raker with punishment if the offense was re- | peated. Raker moved to strike out all the testi- mony of the witness on the ground that | the court refused the defense the right | to cross-examine. The witness then tes- tified that John A. Brown and Charles Auble and some other lawyer were fol- lowing him around and listening to what | be said since he had been in Alturas. The court ordered the witness off the stand during the recross-examination and a half-breed child, Agnes Wilson, was the next witness. She testified that she knew Hall and Brown. She was present at the arrest of Hall and stated that the defend- ant swore at Hall and punched him in the | back with a rifle. Ernest Bonner, District Attorney of Modoc County, said to-night: “‘Relative to an article which appeared in one of the dallles of San Francisco on the date of December 17, I never accused | Foreman Kistler of the Grand Jury of bulldozing his fellow-jurors into bringing indictments against any one. I did oppose further indictments by the Grand Jury until such time as the cases now on trial should be determined. I did this belleving such to be a proper and a business-like course to adopt, it being estimated that | | the trial of three cases now under indict- ment will leave a deficit of about 320,0001 in the county treasury. District Attorney’s Statement. “T never wrote any article or suggested any article for any paper of this county | or outside denouncing the prosecution of | these cases and the editors of county pa- | pers will substantiate my statement.” The | only articles 1 ever wrote or suggested are Alturas notes for the Adin Argus and | Cedarville Record and scattering locals | | for local papers, none of which locals or | articles have in'any way been connected | with the Lookout s. | "“T never denoun the Attorney Gen- | | eral’s office except for one thing, publica- | tion of my private confidential communi- | cations last October.

IN BAKERSFIELD FIRE Fifteen Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Property Destroyed by the Flames. BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 19.—A fire which for a time threatened the office buildings in the southern section of the city broke out to-night in the Union Lumber Com- pany’'s office at Chester and Railroad avenues. The blaze is thought to have been caused by crossed electric light wires, but many persons are of the opin- jon that the fire was of incendiary origiu, The damage is estimated at $15,000, par- tially insured. A fire of unknown origin destroyed Mil- ton McWhorter’'s refinery just east of the Southern Pacific round house in Kern City to-night. Two outside stills and some lumber were saved, but the principal por. tion of the plant, including one still, much asphalt and many barrels of oil was de- stroyed. The refinery was_ erected last spring and as it supplied this city with distillate as fuel for ofl-burning stoves, the loss of the refinery will be felt by others than the owners. The loss cannot be accurately estimated to-night. Court Orders His Acquittal. SAN JOSE, Dec. 19.—A. Paladini,: a wholesale fish merchant of San Francisco, was to-day acquitted in the Superior Court of violating the fish laws of the State by selling a quantity of salmon in this city. Last September Paladini ship- ped the fish to Paul Haagen of this city and a few days later he was arrested by Game Warden Foster. The fish was sold in San Francisco and Paladini's attorney contended that the trial should be. had there. There was a variance between the indictment and proof of venue and Judge T.origan ordered the jury to return a ver- dict of acquittal. He held that trial, it had at all, should have been in San Fran- cisco County. ——————— ‘Postage on Christmas Edition.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—~Chicago Is facing a coal famine, and 15 degrees below zero within twenty-four hours is predicted by the Weather Bureau. Throughout the en- tire city big consumers of hard and soft |.coal are begging shippers to supply them, without avail. he severe weather ::fi the floods throughout the coal min- ing districts have tied up railroads to such an extent that shipment is almost impossible. To add to the serious short- age rallroad companies are exerting their prerogative of confiscating car lots of coal as fast as they arrive here and are putting them to their own use. Large business houses are suffering severely for the want of coal and many concerns are [ hampered by reason of insufficient steam power. To-day many owners of large buildings were besieging coal dealers and begging that they be supplied with enough coal to tide over the zero weather. At midnight a number of coal dealers who had been canvassing the situation in the city reported that there was not more than thirty hours’ coal supply in the city. If relief 'does not come by that time there will be much suffering and many manu- facturirg plants will be forced to close. ‘The prediction of the Weather Bureau is for a new record in low temperature for Chicago in the month of December. At midnight the mercury showed five degrees above zero and was falling slowly. President Nominates Two Negroes. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—The President has nominated Dr. J. R. A.

AGREES WITH SENATOR HANNA Payne Says He.Is Not to Becorue Leader of . Republicans. MILWAUKEE, Dec. 19.—Henry C. Payne, the newly appointed Postmaster General, arrived in Milwaukee from the East to-night. Payne declined to be inter- viewed in regard to his policy as Post- master General. He sald the portfollo was the only one on the list that he would have accepted, and it came to him per- sorally through President Rooseveit. Payne expects to leave for Washington about the end of the first week in Janu- ary. In regard to a statement to the ef- fect that he was to succeed M. A. Hanna as the head of the Republican party of the nation, Payne said: “There is nothing whatever In that statement. No man in this nation will mcre sincerely rejoice at my appointment than Mr. Hanna. Between Ke and I there is probably as close a personal, as well as political, friendship as exists between two men in the United States. All this talk of friction between the President, Mr. Hanna and myself is the sheerest nonsense. —— The Christmes News Letter.
