Judge C. N. Sterry, chief counsel of the Santa Fe Railway of lines west of Albu- querque, is up from Los Angeles to re- open the Kern County oil rate case. He will file a petition in the United States Circuit Court to-day asking that the Rail- road Commissioners be enjoined from forcing the new oil rate between Bakers- field and this city. The document that Judge Sterry will file sets forth that should the Railroad Commissioners enforce the rate which duel fought last Thursday at Jena, in the duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, in which Lieutenant Thieme of the Ninety- fourth Regiment killed a student of Halle University named Held by shooting him through the heart, are producing a deep. sensation throughout Germany. - The duel resulted from a party of stu- dents having jostled some army officers in the streets. Held was with the stu- dents and he slapped the face of Lieu- tenant Thieme, who was in plain clothes. About the same time that the court. of honor was arranging the details of this duel Emperor William’ was receiving new year congratulations from the German generals. According to gossip current in military messes the Emperor on this oc- casion directed that the doors of the salon be closed and talked for several minutes about dueling. The Emperor is reported to have sald that so far as he was con- cerned he did not expect to trouble him- self with what the subalterns might do, as he looked to the corps copumanders. and’ Wwould hold them personally responsible to himself for the prevention of unnecessary duels.

ALTURAS, Jan. 6.—The arrest of fifteen men and other sensational developments of the last two days do not seem to hav~ | had a tendency to improve the tempers of court and counsel in the case of the people vs. James W.

The Testifies Against Brown. After the disposal of the writ the trial of Brown was called. The first witness examined was Robert Gibson, a sawmill hand, residing near Lookout. He said that he was in Lookout on the day of the in- quest over the bodies of the mob's vic- ! tims, and in company with four others heard Defendant Brown say that it had been public talk in Lookout for some time Hall and the others would be Iynched. Abe Rowley, one of the crowd, asked Brown. why, if that were so, had not made some preparations so that the prisoners could defend themselves in | | case of an emergency. Brown replied that he believed it was against the law to pro- | vide weapons with which prisoners could protect themselves. In the cross-examination Attorney | Raker asked Gibson if he had not been a witness in a case In Lassen County, and if it were not a fact that he was im- eached in that case. Gibson was not al- lowed to answgr, and Raker applied for a subpoena for the men who were jurors in that ‘case. The application was denied. | Raker then said that he could prove that the witness was impeached, and was told by the court that if he repeated that statement he would be imprisoned. Some time was consumed in an ex- change of compliments between the court and Raker. During this argument much of Raker's “testimony,” as the prosecu- tion has begun to term it, went before the | jury. In answer to a remark from the court Judge E. V. Spencer of the defense ex- claimed’ that he had practiced law for more than forty years and believed that | he knew something about it, and he would | have just as good an opinion of himself | after this case was concluded, provided he was allowed to live through it, as he had before it commenced.

He said as _he would never pay another dollar to the Modoc County Treasurer; he did not propose to ! be bankrupted by paying fines. After some wrangling on both sides and an hour's lecture from the court on the disgraceful conduct of counsel and the ignominy they were bringing upon the proceedings in this trial, Judge Harring- ton remitted both fines. mainder of the afternoon things went | along smoothly. WARRING TONGS ARE AGAIN SEEKING TROUBLE Fighting May Grow Out of Revoca- tion of Privileges at Washing- ton-Street Theater. The tongs in Chinatown have repudiat- ed the peace agreement they recently | made ana are again preparing for war to the knife. The threatening trouble, it is | claimed, has grown out of the refusal of | the proprietor of the Washington-street | Theater*to issue any more passes. A few nights ago the doorkeeper of the well- known Chinese theater was changed, and | the. highbinders who had so long enjoyed | the .privilege of free entry were refused served.

They left the theater and went to Ross alley, where they attempted 40 rob a gambling-house. The repulfi they received only served to heighte) their anger. The police have been given doubled their precautions. Extra men have been placed in all the dark alleys, where trouble is most likely to break out, and the utmost vigilance is being exer- cised to_thwart the bloodthirsty highbind- ers in their search for revenge. ————— “PORCH-CLIMBER” GETS AWAY WITH DIAMONDS Bold Thief Enters the Home of Mark Lichtenstein and Secures Costly Jewels. A “porch climber” is at work in the Western Addition and the police are hot on his trail. He has been warking with success and the residents are loud in their complaints over their losses. Last night the daring fellow .climbed into the upper story of the home of Mark Lichtenstein, at 1227 Taylor street, and managed to get away with . valuables worth $3000, The family was at dinner at the time of the robbery. The thief entered Mrs. Lichtenstein’s apartment and extracted from her jewel box a watch studded with diamonds. a diamond pin and locket and a gold brace- let. He was about to search other rooms when he was surprised at his work. Mrs. Lichtenstein was on her way to get a handkerchief when she saw the burglar.

BREAKS THAOUGH IGE ON THE YUKON Klondike Mail Carrier Battles for Life in Bitter Cold. Special Dispatch to The Call. Escapes Drowning, but Will Lose Both Reet From Frost Bites. | SEATTLE, Jan. 6.—Late Dawson ad- | vices tell of the narrow escape from death by freezing of Benjamin Downing, | a down-river mail contractor and carrier, who at last reports was in a Dawson kospital, suffering greatly from injuries he had received. It was believed that | amputation of his feet would be neces- sary. He was brozen from his knees to the tips of his toes while making a Te- markable trip from Eagle to Dawson. The story of how Downing went through | the ice on the Yukon, his subsequent mi- raculous escape and his struggles for life | after getting out gives outSiders a faint Gea of what the ploneers of the Yukon country have to contend with. The spot | wheré Downing went through the ice is | 150 miles from Dawson. His struggles re- | sulted in further breaking of the ice and the freezing man repeatedly fell back into the water. By a desperate endeavor he finally managed to climb out and hastily made such additions to his dress as was possible. The thermometer had previously regis- tered 42 degrees below zero and the near- est place, a roadhovse kept by John Wagz- oner, was eight miles away. Night had fallen before the eight miles were cov- ered. Approaching the cabin, the suffer- ing man -could see no smoke from the chimney and when he burst in the door he found the interior cold and cheerless. His coat was frozen so solidly to his body | that it was impossible to bend or re- | move it. | When Wagoner finally returned to his cabin it was to find Downing with his face, hands and feet frozen. Coal oil, the | only’ remedy at hand, was employed in removing the frost, and when this was | accomplished the unfortunate carrier was in_awful agony. On the next day Downing started for ; Dawson with his mail, entreaties and ex- { postulations from Wagoner having no ef- | fect. He was determined to - finish his | journey and set out, alternately hobbling and riding, when the condition of the road | would permit.” Before Star, the next sta- | tion, was reached blisters as large as a hand had formed on the frozen feet and the lonely man made a camp on the snow | for himself and dogs. Open water again | interposed between the traveler and his haven of safety, and the arrival of an- | other traveler, Dow by name, was provi- dential. The blisters were opened and the feet bandaged and the rest of the jour- ney marked another agonizing struggle. When Dawson was finally reached the man's feet were in a bad condition and he was instantly taken to a hospital for treatment. Amputation of the extremi- tles may save his life. BOOKMAKER HENRY HART ENDS HIS OWN EXISTENCE Henry Hart, one of the best known bookmakers in the country, committed suicide some time yesterday in his room at 47 Post street by inhaling illuminating gas.

They are kncwn by various names, but are due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. ‘To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per- manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. Eternal is the price of a hoautiful complexion when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. Shobe, 2704 Lucas Avenue, St. Louis, Mo, says: ** My daughter was aficted for years with a disfiguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with- out result, until we decided to try S. 8. S.,and by the time the first bottle was fimished the eruption ‘began to disappear. A dozen botties cured her completely and left her skin perfectly smooth, She is now seventeen years old, and not a sign of the embarrassing discase bas ever returned.” S. S. S. is a positive, unfailing cure for the worst forms of skin troubles. It is and Wil the greatest of all blood purifiers, and the only one guaranteed purely vegetable. Bad blood makes Yid complexions. _ purifies and invigo- rates the old and makes new, rich blood that mourishes the | body and_keeps the skin active and healthy and in proper condition to perform its part towards carrying off the impurities from the body.
