The “men ordered | KrAuse to give up his money, at the same time placing a revolver at his head.

He quickly recovered and tried ito protect himself from further injury |and was knocked to the ground. The | footpads then became alarmed and de- » | camped Dr. T. J.

It was ascertained that | the footpads had made an attack on an- other citizen. The name of the second man held up was not ascertained, but two of the bullets passed through Dr. Crow- ley's office windows and one bullet lodged in the side door of his residence. g Do 3 A AT Changes in Police Department.

Jones, young man who had been em- | ployed «in the purchasing department of | the Santa Fe. and who received a fatal | wound in the forehead from a stray bullet fired by a New Year reveler. | Hanna and two companions were among those who ushered the | motse, Hanna using a aliber revolver, tridges. As tlie trio passed in front of a | house at which Jones was visiting with friends Hanna raised h into the air, but held it at such an angle | that the bullet struck Jones, who was standing on the front balcony Hanna knew at the time. it is believed, his shot took efiect, as it was he had thrown away all his | loaded shells on Second street, not far from the scene of the shooting. but when charged with it last night he denied it strenuously until the detectives fronted him with proof of his guilt. Then he confessed and expressed penitence for the deed, which admittedly was uninten- tional. Hanna is in jail and will probably be charged with manslaughter. The two men who were with Hanna were also found. One of them proved to be W. W. Burton, also employed by the telephone company. e was able to prove The that he had fired blank cartridges. other was John G. Todd, a fireman of Engine Company No. 3. He used a 33- caliber revolver and had both blank and i lcaded cartridges. | DEATH MARS PLANS FOR THE NEW YEAR WALLA WALLA, Jan. 1.—Just before the hour struck the new year, which he had expected to bring especial happiness, James Hayes, a ploneer farmer living on Dry Creek, died of heart disease at his home, some distance northwest of here. Hayes sold 814 worth of land yester- day, and Guring the day related his plans for retiring and taking things easier. That night, six hours after he had put himself in position to carry out his plans for 1903, he died. . The -little_grandson of Mr. Hayes, the irfant child of his daughter, Mrs. F.

The cable rate to Honolulu will be 60 cents per word, but when the line is finally com vieted to the Philippines it will probabl ! be reduced to 35 cents a word, ““We do not count on the Honoluiu cabla as a money-making enterprise, but as soon as the Philippine line is laid, it will | be so. Of course, the Honolulu line will casily pay for its maintenance, but that is all we expect of it.” e Gives Merry Entertainment. The Young Men’'s Christian Association enteriained its members and friends yes- terday with a New Year's day entertain- ment. There was singing by the F waiian Quartet, a soprano solo by Miss Bertha Willlams, a monologue, “A Tele- rhone Romance,” by Miss Ivy Perkins, and a farce, “Who Is Who?" was played | by clevér amateurs.

Curious Old Court Records. Among the treasures of the Philadel- phia Historical Soeciety is the complete record of the “Court Held at Uppland in Delowar River from 1676 to 16SL" This was the court conducte? by the Swedes, Dutch and English previous to the grant- in of the State to Penn and previous to its being named Pennsylvania. %he rec- ord is quaint. One entry is of “Jan Cor- neliisen of Amesland. complayning to ye Court that his son Erix is bereft of his naturall - sences and is turned quyt madd”; whereupon it was ordered that ““three or 4 persons bee hired to bulld a little Blockhouse at Amesland for to put in the sd. madman.” In the sult of Constable Andries Homman it appears from the rec- ord that: “The Pit. complains that this Deft hath pulled him by the Beard and twisted his neck, and desires to know ye reason.” On October 16, 1680, Claes Clam, win- ning an action for slander against Hans Peterss, the punishment meted out to Peterss was that: “The Deft. not being able to prove what he hath sald or any part thereof. the Court ordered that ye Deft, openly shall deciare himself a Lyar.—New York Tribune. .
