The witnesses and the law- vers in the lynching case have apparent- iy exhausted themselves, and it is pre- dicted that they. will not hereafter live quite a¢ streuously as has been! their wont. Still, Mr. Raker may continue to enliven the proceedings. “How long will the trial last?’ is the question one hears every day, and it is one very difficult to answer. The defense says it will take two weeks more to in- troduce all its evidence in behalf of Jim Brown, the defendant, if everything runs smoothly. The words “if everything runs moothly” carry with them much ground for speculaion. If everything had run smoothly in the past the case would have been in the hands of the jury long ago. It is now entering its tenth week. 1f ‘there was the least spirit of con- | ciliation-on either side the fate of Jim three weeks, but there has been so little hars mony displayed by counsel in the past that 1t 96 only a natural deduction that the future holds little hope for peaceful anu more rapid progress.

A lone footpad was operating in the ten- derloin district early yesterday morning, ome of his victims was Samuel Palmer, an employe of McGinn Bros., un- Palmer lives cn California street, and shortly before 4 o'clock he got a éall from the office by telephone to attend to a Pacific Carriage Company’s office, at Sut- ter and Kearny streets, to hire a hack. He had his overcoat and undercoat bul«l toned and was walking with his hands in his overcoat pockets on Dupont street, a | few yards from Pine, when a tall man stepped out of a doorway in front of him and presenting a revolver at his head eaid, “Hands up, pal.” Palmer looked into the muzzle of the revolver, which had assumed an abnormal size, and promptly threw up his hands. ‘The footpad, covering him with the re- volver with his right hand, deftly unbut- | toned his overcoat and undercoat with his ! left and went through his pockets.

DOLE AS GOVERNOR. SEAS DISNBLE TIHD STEAMERS Northern Storm Causes Immense Damage to Vessels, Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Wash,, Jan. 26.—The two Nome' steamships, Oregon and Roanoke, were engaged to-day in a marine con- flict similar to that of the steamers E. D. Bmith and Greyhound during the re- cent storm which put Seattle out of business, and with far more disastrous consequences. The Oregon is serfously disabled, as a hasty informal survey of the liner re- vealed, but the Smith was totally wrecked, although her entire loss does not equal a quarter of the damage done to the steamship. While only a thorough marine survey will reveal the full extent of the damage, well informed marine men- estimate that it will take $20,000 to place the Oregon in as good condition as she was before she and the Roancke came together. Twelve of her iron frames were broken and cracked, her deck beams opening and some of her plates are bent and indented. The Roanoke had three or four frames broken or injured and sev- eral plates bent and sprung. A regular survey of the vessel will be made Mon- day, Manager Snowden of the North American Transportation and Trading Company, which 6wns the Roanoke says, and until’ then the full extent of her in- juries will not we known. The Oregon is owned by S. G. Simpson. For several weeks she and the Roanoke have been in company at Moran’s, under- going extensive repairs. They lay along- side of each other, and the great force of the wind and seas brought the ships together. Here they lay throughout the storm, pounding away, .and at times with appalling force. Under the circum- stances they could not be separated. Their officers and crews, it is claimed, were powerless to do more than try to soften the blows. Bales of hay were thrown between the steamships to render the clash as harmless as possible.

THE WARSHIPS y Russia Not Permitted to Purchase Naval Squadron. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 26.—A group of powerful Chinese officials, headed by Vice- roys Liu of Nanking and Yuan Shikai of | Chihill, are taking steps to reorganize | China’s army and navy and place (hem{ on a modern footing. Viceroy Yuan Shikaf | is raising a new army of 100,000 men which | is to be drilled by foreign army officers and used solely in Chihili and Shantung. ‘! The viceroys named have peremptorily ordered the breaking off of negotiations commenced by the late Viceroy Li Hung Chang for the sale of the Pel Yang naval squadron to Russia. This squadron com- prises five modern cruisérs and several torpedo boat destroyers and torpedd boats. Russia was to pay a sum much less than their cost. Viceroy Liu declares that “weak and poor as China is, she must have a ‘good navy at all risks.” The vice- roys will employ American and British naval officers to take charge of the Chi- nese navy. Tientsin will be made the naval and military headquarters. Numerous peacock feathers and high- sounding titles are granted to the highest officials of the Chinese empire by a spe- cial decree issued in December by the Chinese Emperor, acting under the direc- tion of the Empress Dowager. The Empe- | ror states that it is found fitting to re- ward those officers whose statesmanlike conduct during the past two years has preserved China to the throne. The chief honors conferred are the fol- lowing: Grand Secretary Young Lu. two- eyed peacock feather and brevet title of | senior guardian of the heir apparent; Grand Secretary Wang Wenshao, two- eyed peacock feather; Prince Ching, dou- dble pay and allowances of a prince of the first order; Liu Kunyi, brevet title of sen- ior guardian of the heir apparent; Chang Chitung and Yuan Shiakai, each a brevet title of junior guardian of the heir appa- rent.

More than that, for several months Fur- tado had not been among his pets, as he called them, and the big fellow that at- tacked him was not in a mood to enjoy the intrusion of one who appeared a stranger. . It was his love for the elk that cause his death. The young man had nurs and petted the hérd, made them his par- ticular care during all this time, until other duties caused him to give up the work. A new keeper was installed, but instead of going into the paddock as Fur- tado had done, he was satisfied to pitch the dally allowance of hay and grain over the high fence. The elk had become ac- customed to this style of feeding, say the park people, and wege not ready for their old friend and keepet when he went down to-day to give them their grain. According to the bereaved brother, the young man had heard that the big elk ‘was becoming ugly, and he wanted to re- new his acquaintance with his old com- panion. Sunday was the regular keeper’s day off, so young Furtado decided he would go to the inclosure and once more take care of his pets. The inclosure runs for several hundred yards across the park. It is wooded and on all sides the rail and barbed wire fence keeps the inmates within bounds. The elk have been in this park for sev- eral years. On two occasions the big bull has butted down a section of fence. Even then the keepers had no difficulty with the freed animal. He submitted to be re- penned without any fuss. Leslie Spencer, the 14-year-old boy, who was Furtado's companion at the paddock, resides at Peralta Park, Berkeley. He was not employed at the grounds and only joined the young keeper in the visit to the inclosure out of curiosity. He said: It was just after Frank had gone into the corral with the hay and I with the grain: that the big elk started for him. Before Frank had a chance to move he ‘was knocked down and the elk had caught him with his horns. Then, with Frank on his antlers, the big animal started on a wild run around the inclosure. Frank was dangling over the elk’s head, but he wasn’t erying or making any noise at all. He must have been knocked senseless. Then the elk went at him. ‘“The elk tore around the ?lme, making strange snorts and gasps. If was a couple of minutes before he threw Frank over the fence. “I went after help, but before I found anybody another boy who had seen the trouble had attracted the attention of Frank’s brother.” After Joseph Furtado and Manager Ha- vens had turned the case over to the Coroner, Furtado went to his hom®, at 239 Haven street, where his mother re- sides. There last night in his distress and grief he sald: Elks Were Frank’s Pets. “My brother’s kind heart brought about his death. The elks were his special pets, and when he heard yesterday that the new man who has cared for thetn for the past three months fed them from outside the fence instead of going among them, as had been his own habit, he was afraid his pets would get wild, so he went down there to-day to fondle them a little. Then the old bull caught him unawares and it was soon all over. “I was standing about 400 yards from the elk pen at the time of the accident, talking to Mr. Havens, the manager. Mr. Havens suddenly said: ‘Who is that man running wild? I looked up and saw some one running toward us and heard him shout: ‘The elks are killing a man!" ‘You must be joking,' T reptied, for the elks are ordinarily tame as kittens. “ started toward the pen, but I dldn’t run far before I found that the big bull was no longer tame. He was bellowing hoarsely and squealing with rage, and 1 could hear him butting against the fence. “1 caught up.a pitehfork as I ran, and as I came within sight I saw the form of a man on the ground close to the’ fence on the outside and_the bull trying to get Frank through to him.

The bloody fork with which he vainly tried to defend himself was still clutched in his hand. His hat lay in the middle of the inclosure, showing where the brute caught him, and a trail of blood from there to the fence showed where the animal tossed him along to the fence and threw him over. “If only nk had been a few minutes later.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.—W. G. Nevin, general manager of the Santa Fe lines west of Albuquerque, died suddenly and unexpectedly this morning after an in- terval of unconsciousness lasting thirty minutes. The immediate capse of death is thought to have been paralysis of the cariac nerves. Nevin retired' at an early hour SBaturday evening in the best of spirits. This morning he was about to rise, when, with a scarcely audible ar- ticulation he turned over on his side, ap- parently dead.

She hastily summoned ber son, d the two endeavored to re- suscitate xe stricken man, but in vain. Before the arrival of a-physician Nevin died without regaining consclousness. In January, 1901 evin partially lost the use of his right arm and upon con- sultin; afphy:tclan found that he was lufler?ng rom what is called’ “ergeping paralysis.”” He was advised to give up a1 active work and accordingly secured @ six months’ leave of absence. While in the East he consulted a number of emi- nent physicians and tried various meth- ods oy treatment. ‘After an absence of about three months he returned to Los Angeles, greatly im- roved in health. He resumed his duties n the local headquarters of the Santa Fe, and it was not until January 18, when he was confined to his home by a !llght at- tack of grippe, that he again absented himself from his office. His illness on this occasioh was not of a serious nature and he declined medical aid, being ground- ed in a bellef in Christian science. It is understood that he received treatment from a practitioner of this faith. He im- proved rapidly and on the day before his death so far recovered as to dictate a number of letters during the morning and take a drive in the afternoon. William G. Nevin was born in Philadel- phia in 1855. At the age of 16 he went to Denver and began his business career as clerk in a mercantitle house. 1In 1876 he entered the service of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway as a bill clerk. Two years later he again wended his way westward and became identified with the construction department of the Santa Fe lines in Kansas. In 1830 he secured the osition of material agent of the Sonora Ratlway, in Mexico, and after six years residenca in the southern republic he re- turned to Philadelphia, engaging in the coal trade there.
