The plaintiff company shortly before had reincorporated under the laws of Colorado in order to bring suit in the Federal court. The Quincy Company filed an answer, claiming the apex of the lode and demanding $1,000,00 from the Daly West for mining on its lode. Several other suits were filed, mak- ing the total amount in litigation $3,000, 000. Injunctions were granted stopping all mining in the disputed territory, cur- tailing the output of both mines. Corps of experts were engaged by both sides and preparations were made for a bitterly fought and long drawn out legal battle. The litigation became complicated and it was estimated that at least $250,000 would be spent in legal expenses. A couple of weeks ago negotiations were opened for a compromise, resulting to-day in an agreement.

SAN RAFAEL, March 27.—Even though this city, the firebugs are likewise busily engaged in their nefarious vocation. The latest developments in the matter are that a man suspected of being impli- cated was taken in custody and the large new hay barn of James Cassidy was dis- covered prepared to be fired. Al nost four months ago Cassidy lost a baru by fire, and indications pointed conclusively to incendiaries. The structure was rebuilt, however, by the owner and only reeently restocked. To-day one of the speclal detectives dis- covered that kerosene had been scattered along the barn boards on the outside of the building. It was found to be identi- cal with the preparation made on Mur- ray’s livery stable two nights ago. The oil was fresh and it is believed was ap- plied some time last night or this morn- ng. It gave evidence of having been scattered from a bottle. A man was brought into San Rafael | to-day by one of the officers on susplcion of being implicated in the firebug work. He was placed under a “sweating” pre cess for nearly an hour, but nothing defi- nite could be ascertained and he was re- leased. \ 1902.

BRAVE PERILS " FOR FREEDOM Prisoners Who Left an Oregon Jail Suffer Severely. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, March 27.—The sufferings of Thomas Featherstone and N. M. Reed, the men who ‘broke jail at Jacksonville, Or., lend more interest to the remarkable story of thelr effort to escape the con- fining unpleasantness of prisen bars and the not altogether delectable flavor of penitentiary provender. Featherstone was captured at Fortuna, Humbalit County, and Reed is still enjoy- ing the sweet air of a liberty that the law has not allowed him. The two men left jail about a month ago. They made their way south through the Siskiyou Mountains by night. They kept away from the railroad and must have gone hungry for days. Lying in hiding by day and often losing their way, they finally reaclied the Klamath River. They stole a boat and began to travel to= ward the coast. They were forced to rob numerous cabins along the stream for provisions, and thus the officers got a clew to their trail. They left the river several times, but always returned. Final- ly they got work in a Fortuna lumber camp. An Oregon Sheriff mailed a descriptive circular, offering $100 Yeward for each of the men. Featherstone had a large red blotch, a birthmark, on his neck, which betrayed his identity. Sheriff Brown was notified by a fellow workman in the camp at Fortuna. The Oregon authorities have requested Sherift Brown to hold the prisoner until the arrival of an officer with requisition papers. Reed is still at large and Feath- erstone denles knowing of his where- abouts. e Owing to the dry season, navigation up case the gamblers will contest and coun- ter-charge the complainants with perjury. the Nile by steamers will be stopped four | weeks earlier than usual. AGSASGIN KILLS AGED GHINESE Defenseless Man Shot Down in a Bakers- fleld Hut. T Special Dispatch to The Call BAKERSFIELD, March 2.—Chuey Yun Get, an aged Chinese garbage man, was shot to death some time last night in a shack just south of the Jewett place, on Jewett lane. g The body was discovered this afternoon by a Chinese laborer. It was in a huddled position, face downward, on the dirt floor of the shanty. Get had received his death wound in the_ back, the bullet having ranged upward and coming out at the throat. A second wound was discovered in the murdered man’'s hand, and on the dirt floor two bullets were found. Near the body a pistol was found with three cartridges exploded. The officers say this was left as a “blind,” as a num- ber of cartridges of different callber were scattered about the floor. There is no clew to the identity or whereabouts of the murderer. The opinions of the authorities differ as to the crime, some saying the deed was committed by a highbinder, while others are inclined to the belief that robbery was the motive. An inquest will be held. —————— Fastest Sail Across Pacific.
