ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15.—In the Court of Criminal Correction to-day Judge Moore declined to hold as a fugitive from jus- tice Willlam R. Draper, the newspaper | correspondent, for whose arrest a war- rant was issued Saturday at Wichita, Kans., by the County Judge on.a charge cf criminal libel preferred by the Phila- delphla North American. The Judge de- clined to hear any of the evidence which Judge James Gay Gordon, the attorney for the North American, was ready to present, declaring that he would not hold Draper as a fugitive from justice, as the warrant charging libel was issued subse- quent to the bringing of the proceedings | in St. Louis. S. B. Amidon, law partner of County Attorney I. F. Conley of Wichita, who refused to issue a warrant Saturday, ap- peared for Draper. In court at the time were White Buf- falo, the Indlan who was the principal character of an alleged libelous story written by Draper and printed in the Philadelphia North American; E. C. Van Valkenburgh and Emory Foster, editor and Sunday editor, respectively, of that paper; and Lieutenant Colonel R. H. Pratt, superintendent of the Carlisle In- dian School. Judge Gordon, speaking in reference to the court proceedings, said: i | | | 1 The action of the jury to-day mercly de- | lays and obstructs our efforts. It will be as temporary in effect, however, as the action of the County Attorney at Wichita in refusing to give us a warrant. We got the warrant afterward directly from the Judge and we will, through other process and other tribunals, yet take Draper back for trial, The prosecution will not stop until every lawful agency is em- ployed.

FINDS SHELTER AND THEN DEATH Boy Killed by the Col- lapse of an Adobe Hut Roof. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 15%-Abbey Lau- derbach, aged 17 years, was killed in a peculiar manner at Ravenna, a small sta- | tion on the Southern Pacific Railroad be- tween Saugus and Mojave last night. ‘With Leo Denphy, a San Francisco mes- senger boy, he was beating his way to that city, and Sunday night the two were put off a freight train at Ravenna. The weather was cold, and in a storm they sought refuge in an abandoned adobe hut which had been built by Mexicans at the {time the railroad was constructed there. The roof of the hut was of earth, sup- ported by timbers, but recent rains had soaked the roof until its weight was too great for the rotten timbers to support. The boys built a fire and went to sleep, one on either side of the room. Some time during the night the roof caved in and both were buried under a great ‘weightyof broken timbers and earth. Den- phy managed to dig his way out and went for assistance. ‘When several men arrived and removed the mass from Lauderbach he was dead. It was found that he had not been killed by the falling roof, but had been pinned | down and had slowly suffocated. Gambling Ceases at Oxnard. OXNARD, Dec. 15.—Late yesterday af- ternoon representative citizens of Oxnard |. met at the clubrooms of the Masonic Tem- ple, their object being to take steps toward suppressing the gambling games which have been opened in the varicus sa- loons during the last few days. Captain A. D. Thatcher was appointed chairman of the meeting and a committee of five was chosen to notify the proper authori- ties of the violation and to have the same stopped at once. As a result all the games are closed to-night and that end was ac- complished without an arrest. o S N S An Acceptable Gift For the family is an inexpensive little home at beautiful Monte' Rio Park.

OTTUMWA, lowa, Dec. 15.—Every tax- payer in Ottamwa is to be made a stock- holder in a [water-works company if the plans now on foot in the city are carried out. It is said to be the second time ln' the history of the United States that such a scheme has ever been suggested. Ottumwa is beyond her debt limitation and the city desires to build a plant that will give adequate fire protection. A test case was made in the Superior Court as to whether or not a levy for a water- works plant could be included in the con- stitutional debt limitation, the plea being madd_that it was an urgent public neces- sity.’ The courts held that such a levy was not a part of the State debt. Thus the city found itself checkmated, but now determines to organize the whole municipality of 30,000 people into a gigantic corporation, making every tax- payer a stockholder.
