SANTA CLARA, July L—James Milne, | foreman at the Charles Baldwin ranch, | eight miles west of Santa Cruz, shot him. | seif through the head yesterday morning while intoxicated. The bullet penetrated the brain. Physicians who have been in attendance say the case is a remarkable one, as such a wound invarfably causes instant death. Milne has had charge of the automo- biles and was gencral superintendent of | Baldwin’s magnificent country home. Re- cently he had trouble with Albert Sala- | din, Baldwin’s French chauffeur, who re- signed ‘his position and left the place. Be- ing censured by Baldwin, Milne became | disconsolate and, after drinking freely for | several days, determined to end his life, This evening he was still alive, but the physicians say he cannot recover. TLEES FROM THE SCENE OF ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING El Rio Lad Who Killed Comrade Is Found Starving Four Days Afterward. OXNARD, July 1.—Henry Hasse, the boy who accidentally shot and instantly killed Earl Culbert near EI Rio last Thursday night, was found yesterday. in the Conejo Valley and brought home. He had wandered over the country without having tasted food and kept out of sight since Thursday evening. When usked-for an explanation of the affair young Hasse suid that Culbert was up a tree and he was standing on the i und, holding the rifle by the muzzle, w l’fle the stock rest- ed on the ground, when in some unac- countable manner the weapon was dis- charged. Although this explanation does not tally with the findings of the Cor- oner’s inquest, it was deemed best to ac- cept the testimony of Hasse and do noth- ing further. Both physically and mental- ly the boy is in a pitiable condition. RAILROAD MAY STRETCH ALONG PLACER CLAIMS Wholesale Filing on Mining Land Believed to Be in Interest of Company. OROVILLE, July 1.—What may prove the first step toward the building of a long-expected railroad up * one of the branches of Feather River, connecting with the overland at either Reno or Boca, is the filing in the Butte County Record- cr's office yesterday and to-day of eighty- four placer mining locations. The !oca- tlons are all signed by the same persons and embrace “a tract lylng along the north fork of Feather River. The filing of the locations has caused much speculation as to the probable ob- ject of the locators. but the theory that the object is to gain possession of land suitable for raflroad building is generally accepted. This theory is strengthened by | the fact that a large surveying party is at work on the north fork near Big Bend. ey Fin Drive Off the Alpine Grade. STANFORD "UNIVERSITY, July 1.— Edward Vandervoort and Miss Neil Buck- hout of Palo Alto, while driving down from Black Mountain on the Alpine road, met with a serious accident. The buggy in which they were driving slipped off the side of the road and fell twenty-five feet into the bed of San Francisquito Creek. Miss Buckhout suffered two broken ribs, while Vandervoort's arm was fracturéd below the elbow; and he was cut above the eye. The couple were discovered by old Sheff, the well-known La Honda guide, and conveyed to Palo Alto. Their horge had escaped unharmed. 2 s EREP A Palp Alto Editor Weds. : ) ALTO, July 1L—H. W.

THIKER CLAIN A NEW VIGTORY Axle and Wheel Men in Omaha Discontinue Their Work. OMAHA, Nebr., July 1.—The center of operations in the Union Pacific machin- ists’ and boiler-makers’ strike has been partially removed from this city to the west. The labor officials sent a large delega- tion of organizers to the shops at Evans- ton, Cheyenne, Rawlins and other points in the West, where the men are reported to have remained at work. The same train that carried men to Wyoming also took General Manager Dickinson, Super- intendent of Motive Power McKeen and Division Superintendent Baxter, w! &0 to safeguard the company’s interests and keep traffic clear. President Burt re- mains in this city, and with Master Me- chanic Barnum is watching the progress of the strike at this point. Locally the strike leaders claimed a new victory when the axle and wheel men Guit work this morning., This they de- clare will cripple the car department. Cheyenne has become the most important center of the strike in the West. The cempany had up to last night secured 150 men, who were to g0 on the payrolls at that point and be' ready to begin work at any time. The strikers had received no official in- formation of this up to noon to-day, but one of the leaders said they did not doubt the accuracy of the report, as they had been advised that the company was ship- ping men into Cheyenne. He said a car- ioad bad gone out within the last twenty- four hours and that they looked for the company to make an effort to start the shops there with the normal force. Some of these men are sald to be from the strikers’ own ranks and those who for- merly were employed in the shops.

Pettit in Pawhuska George Dickle, an Osage In- dtan graduate of Carlisle, was shot four times and killed by Judge Pettit, whom Dickie had attempted to kill by shooting.

Pettit Is a high Indian official and considered the finest attorney in'the tribe. 4 —— Tourist Ends His Life. LOS ANGELES, July 1.—A man sup- posed to be James Fairchild, a tourist, committed suicide in Pasadena to-day. Nothing is known regarding the deced- ent, who was about 65 or 70 vears of age. He is believed to have come from Ohio two weeks ago. The stranger went (:-,L a point on a lot on South Fair Oaks ave- nue and, when certain that no one was observing him, seated himself with his back to a pine tree, drew a revolver and shot . himself near the right ear. The only plece of paper found in his clothing | was_a receipt reading: *‘Chicago, May 24.—Recelved ?l:o Jfl}pfl Fairchild g’ on ic-l 0. count.—H. Wi DEMAND OF LAW HALTS A TRUST Important Suit Begun Against a Colorado Corporation. DENVER, July ‘1—James B. Grant, general manager of the American Smelt- ing and Refining Company’s plants in Col- orado, was served to-day with notice of the suit to be commenced in the Supreme Court for a dissolution of an alleged trust and for the appointment of a receiver for its property. This afternoon Assistant Attorney General George Post left for Pueblo and Leadville to serve notice on the officers of the Colorado, the Phila- deirhia and the Bimetallic smelters, which are also alleged to be in the trust. It is likely that the Supreme Court will decide Saturday whether to allow the State to file its suit. The Supreme Court is due to adjourn for the term Saturday, and arguments in behalf of the State’s case may not be heard before September. ““There is absolutely no ground for such an_attack upon the American Smelting and Refining Company,” said Joel F. Vaile, counsel for the company, to-day. “The company is neither a trust, combj- nation nor monopoly. -It merely bought up some properties that it wanted, just as a man in any other business would do, thereby enlarging his special business and operating it on economic principles. There is no State law prohibiting a man or cor- poration from buying what he or it wants and operating it. We have done nothing unlawful. Nor can it be shown that the company in its operation is in any way restraining trade.” Among the prime contentions on the part of the American Smelting and Re- fining Company will be the question of jurisdiction of the Colorado Supreme Court. The corporation is organized un- der the laws of New Jersey, and it will be stubbornly contendéd that such a case Is without the province of the Colorado Supreme Court. ~ CABINET DISCUSSES ‘PACIFIG~CABLE PLANS Company’s A_ppll:a_{ion for the Sur- veys Made by the Nero Is by ‘Submitted. WASHINGTON, July l—Secretary Moody to-day laid before the Cabinet the proposition. of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company to hasten the construc- tion of their cable across the Pacific, and offering important advantages to the Government in return for the use of the surveys made by the United States steamship Nero for a cable route con- necting San Francisco, Honolulu, Midway Island, Guam and Manila. The officials of the company state that they are ask- ing these plans solely in the name of their own company, and that no other cable company, domestic or foreign, has joined in the application. The Navy Department is earnestly de- sirous that the cable should be laid as soon as possible, but certain safeguards are desired, and these formed the basis of discussion before the Cabinet to-day. 1t is regarded as essential that the route shall be all’American, a point which will be secured by the use of Midway Island as a relay station, and a provision to aypid touching on foreign soil between fly terminals. Another point was that the United States Government should; have preferential in rates and time of transmission for its messages, and have the sole right In its discretion to use the cable in' time of war. The subject was re; as too important for an imme- diate decision, and it is probable that be- £ garded ‘ore the company’s nrplic-uo is finally acted on E ney Ge | be referred to the Attor- MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS MAKE THEIR NOMINATIONS Administration of Roosevelt Is In- dorsed and Cuban Reciprocity Provokes Debate.

Douglas, Clay County; Clerk of Su- preme Court, C. . Pidgeon, Wright County; Rallroad Commissioner, C. F. Staples, Dakota County. Most of the nominations were made by acclamation. The committee on platform spent the entire afternoon in consideration of the platform, or rather listening to the argu- ments of a few delegates who wanted to change it' from what had been agreed upon early. A few changes were made in committee, the principal ore being the more specific indorsement of President Hocsevelt for re-election and the adop- tlon of a paragraph on the labor question. However, when the platform was pre- sented at the end of the session Dr. Wat- gon of Cottonwood County moved to strike out the paragraph on Cuban reciprocity 0 insert a paragraph reading: e hereby indorse President Roose- veit’s high moral and high patriotic stand \akben on the question of reciprocity with Cuba.” After lively debate his amendment was tabled and the platform as reported by the committee was adopted.
