LOSE A LEADER the State, ‘died at his home at 33¢ North | FALLON EXPLANS TRGEDY'S CAISE Slayer of Meehan Tes- tifies in His Own Behalf, Says the Shooting Rcsulted From the Wrecking cf His Home, Special Dispatch to The Call. JACKSON, Nov. 26.—In the trial of Owen Fallon for the murder of Raymond Meehan to-day the defendant testified in his own behalf. He said that his first trouble with Meehan occurred three years ago, He was on his way to a funeral and met Meehan on the road. Later his father-in-law told him that his wife wnnted him to hurry home. On :xmv&rxu ther® he found Meehan reciining on a lounge, $moking, while Mrs. Fallon was rocking a sick child in a cradle and hold- ing her baby in her arms. When Fallon entered his wife said: i “Owen, 1 am nyot responsible for this. He has insulted me.” Fallon requested his wife to leave the coom and when she had gone he thrashed Meehan. He then took Meehan to a doc- tor and paid for having his bruises dressed. Meehan agreed never. to visit| Mrs. Fallon again. Since last July, said Falion, his wife had neglected her home. On one occasion he | found her at a wayside inn in company with a man, who ran when he appeared. | The lnndlndy said the man was Meehan | and that he and Mrs. Fallon had been drinking there. Fallon said that on thé night of the tragedy he and Mechan met and quar- reled. Meehan said he was not armed. Fallen replied, “Go and arm yourself, Sutter, but will be back.” At his home and in the presence of her { father he asked his wife if she had given | him up for Meehan. She did not answer. He then came to Jackson, and, meeting Meehan, both reached for their pistols, with the result that Meehan was shot three times. Frank Goss.and Willlam Walker were called to corroborate Fallon. Dr. Brown- ing testified as an expert that he believed Fallon insane at the time of the shooting. HUSBAND AND WIFE CAUGHT IN BLIZZARD Terrible Storm Overtakes Them and They Are Almost Frozen to Death. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 26.—A special to the Tribune from Mount Pleasant, Utah, says that Edward D. Cox and his wife were found in an almost frozen con- dition near Round Mills to-day. The couple had started from Southfield for Mount Pleasant on November 19 but were “overtaken by a terrible blizzard. | Their horses gave out and for several | days they wandered about the mountains without food or fire. This morning the woman fell to the ground exhausted and was unable to rise. Cox managed to reach town and after tolling where he had left his wife, be- came unconscious. Mrs. Cox will lose bcth hands and feet and perhaps her life. Both of Cox's feet,are frozen and may have to be amputated. 2 ACCEPTS CHALLENGE AND KILLS THE MAN Tragedy Results From Attempt to Shoot an Engineer’s Hat Off. EUREKA, Utah,” Nov. 26.—Barney Dunn, a night boss in a rallroad con-| struction camp on the Oregon Short Lire, was brought to this city m-d.y! and lodged in jail, charged with the mur- | der of Willilam Dryburn, an engineer on one of the work trains. - The killing was the outcome of a dis- pute regarding the relative marksman- ship of the two men. A rifie was pro-| cured and Dryburn challenged Dunn to shoot his hat off. Dunn immediately | raised the rifle and fired one shot. The | bullet, a “soft nosed” one, struck Dry- | burn in the forehead tearing off the en- tire top of his head and killing him al- most instantly.

MIKING READY 15 IF FOR WAR |Great Britain’s Naval Ac- tivity at Hongkong Continues. Oriental Advices Tell of Aw- {ul Cruelty to Siberi- an Exiles. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 2.—The steamer Olympla, which arrived to-day from the Crient, reports ‘that naval activity still prevails at Hongkong. The China Mail says the activity of the naval authorities portends far more serious work than the demonstration against China on account of the Hunan affair, which was settled by China acquiescing to the execution of the officials responsible for the murder of missionaries. From Siam | the steamer brought news of the defeat of a party of military police of Siam by the Shan rebels and the death of Captain Jensen, a Dane, in the service of Siam, who commanded the forces. | The gendarmes retired to a fortified posi- tion on the Makar River, where they met the Siamese troops. The Shans afterward attacked this place and were repulsed, leaving fourteen dead. Captain Jensen | was the only man lost on the Siamese | side. From the Siberlan conviet settlement at’ Alexandrovisk news was received that the convicts have gone on strike, refus-! ing all nourishment until they are more bumanely treated. A Shanghai paper | gives some horrible detalls of the treat- ment of these unfortunates, who are | | mostly educated men, sentenced for politi- | cal offenses. The paper says, on the au- thority of a recent arrival from Siberia, that they are laden with chains, herded in dark, unsanitary cells and not taken out into the air for weeks at a time. In- tectlous diseases have broken out among ! them and it is declared that bodies of thuse who succumb are left among the living. The wardens treat all convicts, healthy and sick, alike with incredible brutality. The convicts carried out the strike reso- lutely. On the third day many lost con- sciousness from fasting, but no suffering induced them to accept food. The condition of the convicts in the séttlement of Koktschetavsk isstill worse. Desperate revolts there have been quelled only after much bloodshed. The Japanese trading schooner Alsaka Maru, which was known to have been off | the Bonin Islands during the eruptions there, has been giren up as lost. The steamer also brings news from Yokohama of the discovery of a Japanese klondike. A rich placer gold field has been found in Konagawa Ken. A fire occurred at Fusan Cana on No- vember 5 which destroyed 300 houses and | rendered 1645 people homeless. Several lives were lost. The bark Aberstwith Castle, which left Peielee, Celebés Island, on September 21 for Humboldt, Cal., has put into Yoko- hama in distress. Severe typhon on October 14 when 250 miles off the Japanese coast, and all her topmasts, yards sails and rigging were carried away, leaving the vessel nearly a wreck. She was towed to Yokohama for repairs. Captain Nilsson had much dif- | ficulty in getting the vessel to port. WARSHIPS TO GATHER NEAR SANTA BARBARA Navy Department Plans Extended Winter Maneuvers in the Channel. SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 26.—Orders were received here from the Navy De- partment to-day and forwarded to Pan- ama, where the battleship Wisconsin has been for several weeks, directing that vessel to proceed at once to Santa Bar- bara. The cruiser Boston, recently from Sa- moa, is now in this harbor, and it is un-~ derstood the plans of the department are | to have extended target practice and | winter maneuvers in Santa Barbara | channel. The cruiser New York, which | was Admiral Sampson’s flagship' during { the battle of Santiago, is under orders to sail from Honolulu for Santa Barbara and the training ships Alert apd Mohican are expected to arrive here soon. The cruiser Marblehead, now in northern wa- ters, also is under orders to proceed to Santa Barbara. It is expected that all of the ships named will be here within a week or ten days and that they will remain in the channel fully a week after mobilization is perfected. — PEERAGE FOR LIPTON IF HE LIFTS THE CUP Bso e ZRS Good Digestlon is essential to good heaitn.

Rumor Has It That the Famous Yachtsman May Be Ele- vated. 7 NEW YORK, Nov. 26—A cable from Lendon says that King Edward has sug- gested to Sir Thomas Lipton that he would like to have him serve as guide, pkiloscpher and friend to the Prince and Princess of Wales if they go to America to attend the St.. Louis Exposition in 1904. The choice of Sir Thomas is due portly to a desire to honor the man who is on such friendly terms with both the King and Queen and partly to a notion that he would be the best man to show to the royal couple what is best worth seeing in the commercial development of America. Although Lord Salisbury refused to ac- cede to the King's request to make Sir Thomas a lord and resigned from the Premiership in consequence partly of the disagreement that followed, it can be pre~ dicted with safety that if Sir Thomas captures the America’s cup he will be made a peer before he begins his avork as cicerone of the Prince and Princess of ‘Wales. e g i Water for Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 26.—Proceed- ings were instituted in the Superior Court to-day by which the city seeks to cun- demn’ about 2000 acres -of land in Mono Flats, on the farther side of Santa ¥nez Mountains. The tract is intenlled for reservoir and retaining dam sites and ad- ditional land through which to extend an irrigation tunnel a distance of about three miles. The action was taken for the pur- pose of creating an extension to the pres- ent water tunnel and providing an. addi- tional supply of water for the city. It is propoged to impound the flood waters of Santa Ynez River and Mono Creek. et it ey , Burned by Carbolic Acid. SANTA ROSA, Nov. 26.—Miss Ina But- ler was terribly burned on the face ana neck last Saturday by the application of carbolic acid to revive her from a faini- ing spell. = Miss Butler fainted when in- fcrmed of her mother’s death, and in the haste to revive her a bottle of camphor was sought. Instead the carbolic aeid was secured and the mistake was not dis- covered until the acid had accomplished its work. The young lady probably will be marked for life. ji S P RIS ‘Framed Picture Sensation. ‘“How can it be done?” is exclaimed hy nll when they note the most moderate rices on the beuxmnl framed pictures pic the nd fle Just _the thin e ag.

Although the requisition papers have arrived at last from Tennessee, it is said they are de- fective. This merning Deputy Sheriff Hancbck of Memphis arrived here from Sadramen- to, where he had stopped with the requi- sition papers. Hancock had been expect- ed for several days. He was delayed, however, by a railroad wreck. Hancock took the papers to Foley, the seeretary for Governor Gage, in the ab- sence of the executive. Foley thought they were defective, but referred the case to the Governor in Los Angeles. When the case came before Justice Downing, a motion was made for a con- tinuance for one week, which was grant- ed without comment. Both Bryson and Miss Haqwell, with their attorneys, then went to- the office of Governor Gage, where the procedure was informally dis- cussed.
