His last charge was at Indepen- dence, Or., where he is said to have raised money recently by fraudulent means, on the occasion of his resignation and removal from there. The specific charge upon which the warrants for his arrest are issued is the mortgaging of his farm and other prop- erty at Independence and then selling the same as free from incumbrance at a high figure. Besides this, he has several other charges against him gaining publicity, all of a financial character and Involving his honesty. Osborne recently left his Meth- odist church membership to pursue post- at San Mateo, where he now is. Osborne is grand lecturer of the Order of United Werkmen of Oregon and prior to going to California had been giv- ing illustratgd lectures along the South- ern Pacific "Railroad, from Portland to Ashland, at a salary of $200 per month. He is a magnetic speaker and a fine singer, and as far as yet known has al- ways borne a good reputation. By friends it is believed that the unhappy event will turn out to be only spiteful work of those who dislike Osborne's defection from the Methodist denomination. Osborne is an Englishman by birth and is married. He has no family. His change of church membership, he claims, was at a great personal sacrifice finan- cially, involving the loss of salary as lec- turer for the Workmen. SAN MATEO, July 28.—The Rev. How- ard Osborne arrived here June 10, accom- panied by his wife. He is taking a spe- cial course at the Episcopalian Divinity School. He said this evening that the Portland warrant had probably been is- sued at the instance of a photo supply lantern slides he had used in fllustrating a course of lectures. He owes, he says, $58, and is willing to pay that sum. The Portland firm, however, claims $32, and a ago sent him, he says, a letter 7 they threatened criminal pro- the larger sum. The - reverend debtor is considerably worried over the affair. If his alleged of- fense Is extraditable he will go to Port- land. In any event he declares he will commence suit against the Oregon firm for substantial damages. — e Bt General Ramos Surrenders. CARACAS, Venezuela, July 25.—General one of the four chiefs ordered’ to remain in the field, who had a camp near Santa Lucia, has surrender- ed to the government together with 400 men, their arms and ammunition. heart and instantly killed. Two young men, Howard Harrison McClellan and Bresmo Martin, who were implicated in the killing, are now In jail at this place, having surrendered themselves shortly after the shooting, claiming that the sad affair was wholly the result of an acci- dent. Martin admits that the fatal shot was fired by him, though he was unaware at the time of the presence of the boys near by. Deputy Sheriff Butts refused to allow the young men In jall to be interviewed, but stated that they came to his office about 3 o'clock and surrendered them- selves, saying they had killed a boy while shooting at a mark. They were shooting at a pole with a 38-caliber revolver and a 22 rifle and did not know that anybody was in the vicinity. ' Their shots were di- rected toward th rsh. About 600 yards away in line with the shooting the de- ceased. together with D. W. Sharon, A. J. Higgins and C. W. Wold, were swim- ming in the creek. Suddenly young La- Palm cried out “I'm shot” and fell back dead. The Sheriff's office will make an investigation to-morrow. The body of deceased was brought to this place by Coroner James Crowe and is now in his care. —_—ee————— HUNTERS FIND PLENTY GAME IN PLUMAS COUNTY Two Modesto Men Bag Many Deer and Succeed in Killing Three Bears. OROVILLE, July 28.—One of the most successful hunting trips for some years occurred lately in Bucks Valley, Plumas County. Lee Rutherford and Roy Woods of Modesto visited the valley prepared to hunt any kind of game. Rutherford as a boy knew the country thoroughly. He and his companion were very successful in hunting deer, and one of the bucks killed was the largest seen in Plumas for some years. Cows and yearlings had been killed in the v: ber of men were engaged in hunting them, Rutherford and Woods set traps and were successful in catching three bears. These were shot while still held in the trap with the exception of one very large one, which had been caught by one foot in a steel trap. The bear gnawed at his foot until he ate it off, and was thus enabled to es- cape. ———— Fall Kills American Consul. LONDON, July 28.—John D.

It is said that more than 100,00 Chinese will have been brought over by the ciose of the present | year, The influx has become so great that the Mexican Government is said to be seri- ously considering issuing a decree re- straining further immigration. Informa- tion in the hands of United States author- ities shows that the object of many of these Chinese who are brought to Mexico is to reach the United States and that they cross the border without detection. ———— HAWAIIAN HOME RULERS DESIRE INDEPENDENCE Would Have a Government Similar to That Established in Cuba. HONOLULU, July 28.—At to-day's ses- sion of the Home Rule Convention ex: Delegate Wilcox urged that Congress be memorialized to grant Hawailan indepen. dence. He also strongly favored the es- tablishment of a government for the isl- ands similar to that of Cuba. His re- marks were received with much applause. It is probable that a petition embodying the views expressed by Wilcox will be prepared for presentation to Congress by Delegate Kalanianaole. Such an appeal would doubtless receive the signatures of many natives. The platform adopted by the party de- nounces the administration of Governor Dole as oligarchial, the charge being made that Governor Dole and a select clique control the affairs of the Territory in a selfish and wasteful manner. The admin- istration is charged with being corrupt. FRAMING BRYSON PICTURES THE “LADY IN GREEN,” Next Sunday’s Call.
