Near by on a| side hill was a mining tunnel, the en-| trance to which had caved in. In the| wagon was sufficient food to have sup- plied a large party a long time! The find was reported to Sheriff Ham- | mel, who sent a man to-day to make an | investigation. The mine tunnel will be c n opened, and_the contents of the wagon some examined. It is believed tragedy will be revealed. Fannie McIntyre, in the role of Lisle Mar- tel, gave an impersonation that was arti tic in the highest sense.

On | Thursday Horgan, Murasky and Teddy left for Sacramento. Horgan seemed to have plenty of money and the boys wore new clothes and hats. They came back broke on Sunda, An effort was made to see young Hor- gan yesterday, but when he sought to tell his story he was interrupted by a man who told him te “Shut ug.” The lad ad- mitted, howevér, that he had gone to Sac- ramento on his journey to Washington and that he returned because his money ran short. To a youthful companion he said that life on the road was not what it was claimed to be and that he would prefer to read of the exploits of thief- catchers rather than suffer their actual exngerienlces. - rs. Laman woyld not permit youn; Murasky to be ln(e‘{'v!ewed.pshe sfl{d lhg matter was not of public concern ana that since the return of the lads they had promised to do better. They are voracious readers of nickel detective stories and their imaginations were fired by the thrill- ing tales they had read. The escape of Tracy, followed by his remarkable ex- ploits, succeeded in turning their brains to the extent that they resolved to follow him. Who supplied the money for the venture by means of theft is not clearly demonstrated, Horgan shifting the re- sponsibility upon Teddy and the latter claiming Horgan was delinquent. The boys will be watched in future and at their first effort to repeat the experiment they will be sent to a reformatory. CTUATED by a desire to win fame as the captors of Tracy and filled with boyish fervor:to imi- tate the example of certain gen- tlemen of the road whose daring exploits have shocked the world, three vouths of this city departed for Sacra- mento last Thursday. Thelr dreams were dissipated within forty-eight hours and the lads returned Saturday. bedraggled, repentant, penniless and footsore, re- solved never to do it again. Unfortunately for the lads in question, there is an element of crime attached to | their venture. One of the boys succeeded | in carrying off some $7 belonging to his | father, with which two wicked looking re- | volvers, two sombreros and two pairs of | overalls were purchased. What was done with the remainder of the money does not appear, but it is certain a portion of it was disbursed for railway tickets, while another portion went for board in the | capital city. The lads were Harry Mur- asky, living with Mrs, Laman at 43 Ivy | avenue; Danlel Horgan, son of Denis | Horgan, a_carpenter, living at 10812 Oak street, and 2 boy known as “Terrible Teddy,” whose residence is unknown. The facts of the escapade were first divulged by Frank Mullaney of 133 Hayes street. All of the boys mentioned are un- der 15 years of age. Mullaney says that early last week Horgan told him that he intended to start in pursuit of Tracy and he asked Mullaney to go with him. “I aidn’t like the job, 0 I refused,” sald Mullaney yesterday. ‘‘Horgan offered me $10 to go with him and when I asked him ' PURGES DANIELS OF CONSPIRAGY Judge Smith Declines to Hold Enquirer’s Manager. HUNTRESS KILLS MOUNTAIN LIONG ‘A Redding Woman the Heroine of a Thrill- ing Exploit. 12 Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, July 21.—Mrs. A, F. Dobrow- sky, the pretty young wife of a local jew- eler, killed two mountain lions yesterday at Bear Mountain, twenty miles from Redding. Mr. and Mrs. Dobrowsky arc ardent sportsmen. They go into the wnods every Sunday after game. Mrs. Dobrow- sky has killed deer, bear and wildcats, not to mention quail and grouse, but never before yesterday did she shoot a lion. v Mrs. Dobrowsky was alone on the mountain side when attracted by the bay- ing of her hound. She found the dog had arge lion up a tree. As she preparcd to shoot it she saw a second lion glaring at her through the thick foliage. Just then her husband came up, attracted by the baying of the dog. At the count of three two rifle shots rang out and two tawny brutes fell clawing and screaming to the earth.. They were both mortally wounded. As they rolled in their death struggles Mrs. Dobrowsky saw a third lion higher up the tree than its fellows had been. She killed it with one bullet. A shn? iookout was then made for more of the dangerous beasts, but without result. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 21 Basing his decision on the ground that G. B. Daniels, president of the Enquirer Publishing Company, had not been shown to have been connected with the alleged conspiracy by which the county of Ala- meda was mulcted out of $1500 for unde- livered books, Police Judge Smith to-day refused to hold the newspaper man to answer before the Suverior Court. The proceedings in the Police Court this morning were short and sweet—sweet for Daniels. Both sides to the controversy were represented by their counsel—Attor- neys Snook and Hill for the defense and District Attorney Allen and M. C. Chap- man for the people. Without any prelim! naries Judge Smith announced: “] have gone over the evidence pre- sented in this case very carefully, and, after considering the matter fully I am of the opinion that even if a crime has been committed, the evidence does not connect the defendant with it. The defendant is therefore discharged from custody.” That was all. The session dispersed im- mediately. It was as if some smoke was clearing away. All that remained was Daniels, surrounded by his friends, who supplied him liberally with congratula- tions. They escorted him into the hall- way and upon the steps of the City Hall, where they congratulated him some more. Daniels did not make any bones of the fact that he was both pleased and sur- prised. He rather expected to be held, so that his quick acquittal was all the ore welcome. mThe next scene in this drama of dollars and books will be shifted to-morrow to the Superior Court, where County Asses- sor Dalton will be tried under a Grand Late Shipping.

Story of the Lake Sawyer Fiasco Leaks Out at Seattle. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, July 21.—Sheriff Cudihee was given the “double cross” by Outlaw Tracy’s friends. This is an open secret now-in the local under-world and “Tat- too Red” is crédited with having worked up the plot. Lewis Ward, a dime novel enthusiast, had nothing to do with the JLake Sawyer attempt to capture Tracy and it is now accepted as a fact that Tracy was neéever within miles of the deserted cabin. Sheriff Cudihee has not even taken the trouble to contradict Ward's hoastings. Ward was a despised outsider in the entire proceeding. Fred Floyd, allas “Tattoo Red,” and ancther man offered to deliver Tracy into the hands of Sheriff Cudihee, and to them alone was due the fact that Cudihee was “deceived into allowing Tracy to escape from the Green River Wulley after his ap- pearance in the Potot house. Soon after Tracy appeared at the Potot house, “Tattoo Red” and his companion arranged a meeting with a well-known sporting man at Kent and then and there outlined to him their plan to capture Tracy. The Seattle sporting man was one of Sheriff Cudihee's warmest personal friends, as well as his stanch supporter in politics, and was as badly deceived by the story of the two outlaws as was Cudihee. In tenderloin parlance, the whole thing “looked good.” Floyd and the other man said that they had been in close touch with Tracy for days. They had met him near Renton about a week betcre, they said, and had been giving him aid ever since; but, on account of his cowardly conduct in murdering Mer- rill, they Had determined to play him false. . Merrill, they said, was a warmer friend of theirs than Tracy had ever been, and they were ready and willing to give up the latter to justice provided they were given a big share of the reward offered for Tracy's capture. The information was immediately im- parted to Cudihee and he determined to accept the offer. One condition insisted upon by Floyd, it is said, was that all the deputies in the field should be called in, in order that they might not claim a share of the regard when the outlaw was given up to the Sheriff. Cudihee was so im- pressed with the good faith of their state- ments that he agreed to call off the man- hunters and send them back to Seattle. In this he kept his word. At the first conference Cudhiee, it is as- serted, stipulated that the outlaw should be delivered into his hands alive if pos- sible. Floyd demurred strongly, but fin- ally agreed that they would catch Tracy napping if possible, but that he was a desperate man and they feared they would have to ‘“‘croak” him to get him. ‘When Floyd and his confederate de- parted it was for the purpose.of return- ing to the Sawyer Lake cabin, where they | alleged Tracy lay grievously wounded and practically helpless. They were to come back within twenty-four hours with news of Tracy's capture or death. Cudihee and the few who were “next” to the plot be- lieved that failuré was impossible and that the Oregon outlaw was as good as in_their hands. Hours went by and “Tattco Red” and his cofifederate failed to show up. Fear- ing bad faith, Cudihee at last raided the camp. It was empt Railroad Into Butte Forests. MARYSVILLE, July 21.—When the Dia- mond Match Company purchased an im- mense acreage of timber land in North- ern California a few months ago it was apparent that to tap some of its richest holdings would require the building of several branch railroads. It may now be announced that a broad gauge road will be built from the Southern Pacific line at Nelson, thirty-one miles above Marys- ville, to the company’s timber purchases in the Butte County mountains, via Ma- galia. Surveyors are already in the field | and in a few days 100 graders will be at work. Ol S Gold Strike on the Yukon.

Gill and Wright, two prospectors on whose claims the strike was made, were given this claim for five days’ work done for another miner on Glen Gulch. Gold Run parallels and Is separated by a small di- vide from Glen Gulch, on which the big | strike was made a year ago. NEGRD BATTLES WITH UK MEN One of the Combatants Wounded and An- other Missing. ——e Special Dispatch to The Call. MARYSVILLE, July 2L—William Bell, colored, and four white men are in the county jail in Yuba City as the result of a shooting affray which occurred to-night. Two other participants are missing, one of whom is supposed to have been killed or_drowned. Bell came upon a party of white men a quarter of a mile above the railroad bridge. They were drinking beer at a lively rate and the effect of the stimulant is supposed to have caused the trouble. Bell claims to have been thrown into Feather River by the carousers. He says that when he emerged from the water ns drew a pistol and fired seven or eight shots, reloading the weapon once. The white men say Bell announced that he was Tracy and demanded plenty of beer. This was refused, and he then be- gan to shoot. Thomas Tereney was W(_F)llnded ltn lhie I'll;l( elbow. e most serious feature of the a the disappearance of Bdward .

FIRE IN OIL WELL IS PUT OUT BY STEAM JENNINGS, La., July 21.—The oil well fire was extinguished this afternoon by the use of steam and without the aid ot chemicals. Nine boilers of large capacity connected with two lines of four-inch pipe were set in the fleld to the nertheast of the burning oil. One of the lines was stationary and the other mov- able, so as to follow the flames. A man was stationed at each boiler to keep the steam pressure up to 125 pounds. It js estimated that the combined bollers gave a 225-horsepower force. The four-inch ‘water lines were lald from the north, | volver and once with a with four two-inch connections, and fifty feet of hose on each connection, and were 50 arranged that the flames could be cov- ered from the east, north and northwest.

SPEND MONTH: PLOTTING MURDER Woman Killed by Sam- uel Lake His Own Wife. Story of an Elopement Back of the Triple Tragedy in Seattle. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, July 21.—Back of the shoot- ing of Mr. and Mrs. David Thomas—the one killed and the other fatally wounded— and the suicide of Samuel H. C. Lake in the Fredonia House on Saturday night there is a remarkable story that came to light only to-day. The victims of the shooting were not married; in fact, the woman was the wife of the man who shot her. For the past four months she had been compelled to live with both Lake and Thomas. All that time Lake was awaiting a favorable opportunity of killing the couple. The confession of Mrs. Thomas was made to Coroner Hoye. The first story of the woman, that Lake was her brother, and that the fatal quarrel was over the purchase of an $I8 hat, was doubted. To get other evidence Coroner Hoye and his deputies searched the rooms at the Fredonia House this morning. A bit of paper was found that explained everything. It contained the following: I hereby certify that on the 7th day of June, 1000, I did marry by authority of a license, Samuel H. C. Lake of the town of Micha in the county of East Kootenay, Province of British _Columbfa, Dominion of Canada, and Mary J. HancocK of the town of Michael in the county of East Kootenay, Province of Brit- ish_Columbia, Dominion of Canada. Witness my hand at Fernie, B. C., this Tth day of June, 1900. REV. D. L. GORDON, Officiating Minister. A “further search also found where the marriage bans had been published, as well as the naturalization papers of aMry J. Hancock, made out in the State of Utah. In Lake's trunk was found an al- bum, on the flyleaf of which was writte: To Mary J. Hancock, from mother. The pure in heart shall see God. It seems that Mary Hancock Lake was born in England. She went to Canada, and in Fernie, B. C., met the man who became her husband. Lake was a miner, earning $6 a day. He had money enough to buy a little cottage and was well able to care for his wife. Then David Thomas came to Fernie, and it was the old story. Fourteen months ago he and Mrs. Lake fled io- gether from the mining town. Six months ago they came to Seattle. Lake picked up the trail and followed them. Four months ago he quietly walked into their lodgings in this city. In her confession to-day the woman said: Sam coolly sat down and we all talked it over together. There seemed to be no help for it, he said. He realized that he had but a little time to live, and that, having con- sumption, he was in no position to provide for me. He agreed to make no trouble if we would let him live with us. He kept his prom- ise for months, but all the time he was plan- ning to kill us both. s. Lake refuses to tell where the parents of Lake, Thomas or herself lived. The woman still lingers, but death must come soon. DIPLOMAT IS SUED FOR DIVORCE WHILE IN JAIL Dr. T. de Velez, Who Went Gunning for His Wife, Is Charged With Cruelty. Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 21 The romance & Elouise 8. de Velez, be- gun under the tropical skies of Santa Ana, | San Salvador, where she was wooed and won by Dr. T. de Velez, Spanish dipio- mat, capitalist and linguist, will come to an abrupt termination in the divorce courts of this city. On Saturday evening last the husband returned from Mexico unexpectedly and went to the home formerly occupied by his wife in Temescal, but found her ab- sent. Consumed with burning jealousy, Senor de Velez traced his wife to th> hcme of friends near the corner of Mar- ket and Fourteenth streets. The meeting of the couple was a dramatic one, the husband drawing a revolver and threat- ening to kill his wife. The high-tempered physician was arrested and taken to the City Jail, where he was charged with carrying concealed weapons. The wife to-day instituted proceedings for divorce, alleging extreme cruelty. The | wife says her spouse is possessed of a consuming jealousy and an ungovernable temper, which manifested themselves on different occasions by the husband at- tempting to kill her—twice with a re- knife. The wife also alleges her husband so far forgot his Castilian sense of politeness that he spat in her face and heaped all the impreca- tions on her head that the mellifluous Spanish language permits of. She also al- leges he accused her of being an adven- turess, and pronounced contumely over her head on account of her mother hav- ing been married twice. Dr. de Velez has had a meteoric career. He is of French extraction, but under the regime of General Blanco he was the Premier of the Philippine Islands, and virtually governed them. He is wealthy and has now, according to his wife, an income of $2000 per month. Mrs. de Velez comes of a fine San Sal- vadorean family and Is independently wealthy. They were married in 1896 and have a girl 8 xenn of age. The plaintiff does not wish any ali- mony, but asks the custody of the child. e - BRITT HAS AN X-RAY TAKEN OF HIS HAND Lightweight Pugilist Suffered a Broken Bone in His Battle With Lavigne. Jimmy Britt is extending his left hand again to his friends. Jimmy is still suf- fering from the fracture received during his battle with “Kid" Lavigne last month. Britt had an X-ray taken of the injured hand and discovered that one of the bones was _broken. The lightweight boxer had the bone set and the hand put in a plas- ter cast. Britt is hopeful that he will be able to fight next month. When asked yesterday whether he would fight Joe Gans for the lightweight championship in the event the champion won next Thurs- day night in Oakland, Jimmy sald: “Now don’t try to make any matches for me. 1 have given this matter a great deal cf thought, but have not made up my mind. 1 am not afraid of Gans or any other lightweight in the world, but T am averse to fighting a colored man. If I am forced into such a battle I may consider it, but 1 would rather not meet Gans.

JAPANESE RIOT ON THE FRAGER Orientals Drive Off In- dian Fishermen and Cut Their Nets. Even Seek to Intimidate Union White Men by Force of Arms. - Special Dispateh to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., July 2l.—Japanese fishermen on Fraser River concluded a morning riot wo-day by holding up ladian fishermen and (orcing them at tae puinc of the rifle to cease fishing. The Japan- ese started the troubls befors daylight. and fcr a half nour a force of policemen under Superintendent Hussey had a lively time. The strife began in a Japanese board- ing house where some Indlans had eatsn breakfast. There was a brief era of “rough house.” Later in the morning a boatload of Indlans came in from the fishing grounds with a startling story. They seid that a patrol boat m which were eight armed Japanese had come up to them; that the Japanese had cut their nets and ordered them to ston fishing. The Indians declared that they had re- fused and told the Japanese to mind their own business, whereat the Orientals drew revolvers from their pockets and rifles from under the gunwales of their boats. Thus equipped, they compelled the In- dians to haul the remnants of their nets and start for shore. All this oc- curred while a police steamer was in full view. Several Japanese were afterward arrested for complicity in the held-up. The Japanese are the cause of all the trouble this year and both the white union fishermen and the cannerymen are bitter toward them. The white umions have agreed upon a price for fish for the scason and have comm ‘work, but the sulky Japanese are still. hoiding out for a higher figure and are actually try- ing by force of arms to intimidate the white fishermen into_joining them. Boats ere being stolen and nets cut to nightly ¢nd rewards are cffered by the canners for the comviction of the guilty Japaness. A large force of special police has been sworn in and officers are con- stantly patrolling with boats.
