LIFE | Chekib Bey Plays the Part of a| Hero While Visiting in Boston. BOSTON, Mass., June 17.—Chekib Bey, | the Turkish Minister to the United States who is enjoying the attractions of the Hub | for a few days, to-night risked his life | 1d succeeded in ving the life of an- other. The Minister was returning to his | | apartments at the Hotel Touraine when | he happened to see a collision between u | troliéy car and a cab. One of the rear wheels of the cab was knocked off and the driver was thrown violently from his box to the ground. As the driver fell he clutched the reins for safety and the sud- den jerk forced the already frightened horses to ck. The cabman was almost underneath the wheels, but he managed to wriggle clear and then fainted {rom the pain of the wounds which he had received in his fall. The horses, however, continued to back and the unfortunate man seemed | doomed to a horrible death under their | feet. The Turkish Minister dashed to the res- cue, but just as he neared the spot, an- other electric car swung rapidly around the corner of the streét. The Minister, undaunted by this latest development, | sprang in_front of the fast moving car and seized the prostrate driver. To puil the unconscious cabman to right would have meant the death of both victim and rescuer. Quicker than thought Chekib Bey dragged the man from underneath the horses' hoofs and at great danger to himself dragged the cabman backward and underneath the carriage, The ister's hat was kicked from his head by | one of the animals and his clothing was covered with mud, but he soon reached a place of safety, drawing the driver after him. i SHARP RISE IN PRICE OF THE GOLDEN CEREAL | Much Excitement Accompanies an { Advance of Three Cents on | Corn. l CHICAGO, June 17.—An advance of | over three cents in ‘the price of July corn enlivened speculative trade in grain to-day. Opening at 643 cents, the price was rushed up to §6% cents within the first hour of trading, and much excite- ment accompanied the advance. Bhorts were responsible for the sharp Se in the price of the golden cereal. Un- easy over the stubborn manner in which the New York bull crowd trading through | Harris Gates and other big houses has protetted its July holdings, traders who | had corn sold. for next month’s. delivery | engaged in further covering in the course | of which they were forced to bid prices | | | | | | ! | | | | up sharply on themselves. Not until the price had advanced more than one cent | was there much-corn for sale, and then ! offerings were not sufficient to meet the requircment of the shorts. Harris Gates sold out a little long cern from time to time. but not enough to affect the price much. The shorts continued to cover late in the day, and July sold to 7% cents, closing at that price. < ANOTHER BIG ITEM Strikes a Cool Ten Thousand Dollars From Receiver Trumbo’s List | of Expenditures. i SAN DIEGO. Jume 17.—Judge Torrance | to-day granted a motion to strike out an adaitional $10,000 from the account of | Isaac Trumbo as receiver of the Golden Cross mine on the ground that the re- ceiver had no right to borrow the money ag he did from the First National Bank of San Francisco. A new motion is now before the court to strike out $49,000 more, It is the declared intention of Attorney Shaw- to make the receiver prove every | item of expense which has been mntioned in the account, and until these items are ! proved, he claims, the attorneys who ap- pear for the creditors have no standing in court.

EALDSBURG, June 17.—Captain King and his company of Oak- land veterans have so far been the chief attractions at Camp Matheson. Company A is kept under strict milltary discipline and woe to the civilian-who triesho sneak within the lines. The first arrest was made yes- terday by The Call representative who captured a straggler when he wasn't looking, and, marching him into camp, bravely turned Rim over to Captain King, who promptly shoved both captive and captor into the guardhouse.

BLACKFOOT, 1daho, June 17.—The Fort Hall Indian reservation, including 418,000 acres, nearly 100,000 of which consists of fine farming land, was thrown open for settlement at noon to-day. Exactly on the hour of noon nearly 2000 people, old men, boy: lr:;pans, who" had | been waiting eagerly, sonfe of them for | weeks, for the opening of the reservation, | rushed across the line in a wild scrambie ! for land and mining claims. Every con- | ceivable kind of transportation was used. Many had arranged for relays of hors in order to lotate and get to the Blackioot Land Office before others could file, pay- | ing as much as $30 for the use of one horse | for a few houis, . At Blackfoot long before the noon hour immense crowds of spectators formed in | front of the land office, and in the wi dows and on the roofs of adjoining build- ings watching for the first arrivals. . Mullen and ¥. E. Dekay of Pocatello were | the first to reach Blackfoot. 3 Shortly after 1 o'clock the - spectators saw a cloud of dust rapidly approaching on the road stretching out to the south- t. Soon two dusty, choking riders made out, whipping and spurring, running neck and neck on horses that seemed ready to dsop dead from exhaus- tion. . Exactly one hour and fifteen min- utes from the time they had.left Pocatello, twenty-six miles away, the two riders, Mullen and Dekay, leaped from their horses in front of the land office. Mullen secured the coveted first position. Each man had used four relays of horses en route. They finished not more than fif- teen feet apart. In spite of the vigilance of the deputies and reservation police, many ‘‘sooners’ succeeded in locating claimns and lined up with the others. busy this afternoon investigating contests on theése claims. of those who had located on claims, ar- rived in Blackfoot over the Oregon Short Line. It was packed to suffocation. Men ‘were on top of the coaches, on the tender, on the locomotive pilot, everywhere that afforded a foothold. Before the train stopped they swarnied from the coaches like bees and a mad rush for the land office took place. For more than an hour the force of deputies was helpless, but finally succeeded in forming the crowd into line. Only twenty-seven filings were made to- day. The filing of one claim was com- pleted before another wal taken up, and the work was necessarily slow. Thé scramble will continue to-morrow and for several days and numeérous contests will undoubtedly take place. Everything is quiet to-night, however, and no armed conflict is expected.

Quarrel Over a Land Claim the Causs of the Tragady. OKLAHOMA CITY, O. T., June 17.—E. W. Johnson vice president, of the Classen Real Estate Company and who served through the Cuban campaign with the Reugh Riders, was shot and killed here to day by W. T. McMichael as a result of | a centest over a land claim. Before he died, Johnson shot and fatally wounded | McMichael. L. E. Brown, editor of the Times-Jour- nral, one of the oldest newspaper men in the Territory, fired five shots at Mec- Michael in defense of Johnson, but none of them took effect. Brown.and McMichael were_arrested. There was talk of lynch- ing McMichael until it was learned that his wound was fatal. The shooting took place in Woodlawn Addition, in the eastern end of the eity. McMichael had been contesting for twelve years the homestead right to 160 acres of land in the addition. He was de- feated in all the courts and in Washing- toa, but was never ejected from the claim, wkere he lived with his wife and children. Ccrtez Brown and E. E. Brown, editors of the Times-Journal, bought lots in the addition through Johnson's company and | were improving tnem. Yesterday Mc-! Michael attacked Brown for entering the | land. To-day Brown and Johnson at-! tempted to lead away a cow placed on | Brown's lots by McMichael, when the! latter fired without warning at Johnson. Johnson fell with a buliet in his head and McMichael continued to fire at him, but without further effect. Brown drew his revolver and began firing at McMichael, and finally Johnson, dying, raised himself upon his elbow, rested his pistol on his wrist and fired twice at McMichael. One | shot struck McMichael in the abdomen, | the other going wild, and he dropped his revolver and ran for ald. i Johnson died in ten minutes. None of | Brown's shots took effect and he was un- hurt. A big crowd gathered and there was a move to lynch McMichael, but ! when it was found he had been wounded, | perhaps fatally, they desisted. Johnson was 24 years of age. He fought | through the Cuban campalgn as a _mem- ber of Company D of the Rough Riders and was personally known to President Roosevelt. At San Juan he was shot in| the knée, but recovered and rejoined his troop. McMichael had been involved in litigation so long that he had become des- p%rats-. The land in question is valued at ¥50,000. SAN FRANCISCAN DIES i ON AN ATLANTIC LINER John K. C. Hobbs Suffers a Stroke of Apoplexy While Returning From Germany. HOBOKEN, N, J., June 17.—J. K. C.

The electign of Hopkins pro- duced the only fight in the convention, but it was stirying enough to make uv" for the tameness that characterized the| other proceedings of the convention. The | day was full of clashes between Hopkins and Harrison. The two men indulged in an acrimonious quarrel in the St. Nicho- las Hotel during the mnmlnf. in which Hopkins bitterly resented criticisms made by Harrison of the campaign methods at- tributed to Hopking by Harrison. Later Harrison and his friends succeed- | ed in beating Hopkins in the district cau- | cus for State committzeman and elected Thomas J. MeNally of Chicago in his| stead. Hopkins' one chance to.be re- elected chairman was in the caucus of the general committee appointed to selgct the chairman—and the Harrison forced were Jjubilant, claiming Hopkins, was beaten be- | yond all redemplfom He was himself con- fident of the outcome, however, and the | confidence was justified when the com- mittee, by a majority of three, recom- mended his selection—the vote being Hop- kins 13, Harrison 10. % A minority report favoring the election of Harrison was made and the fight car- ried to the floor of the convention.
