BANTA ROSA, June 19.—Joe Lock- hart is in jail at Ukiah on a charge of having attempted to kill John Mc- Kay. Both men are Indians and lived on the reservation at Round Valley. Recently while engaged in gambling and drinking Lockhart made an as- sault on McKay with a keen-bladed knife and all that prevented the sever- the knot of a handkerchief which was tied around the victim's neck. United States Deputy District Attorney D. E. McKinlay of this city and United States Deputy Marshal Dingley went to Round Valley the early part of the | week to look into the case and lhel arrest of Lockhart is the result. He was held to answer before the Fed- eral court by United States Commis- sloner Goldberg at Covelo. Several parties who have been furnishing liquor to Indians at the Round Valley reservation will probably be indicted by the Federal Grand Jury. —e————— CHILD'S REMAINS BURIED ELEVEN YEARS AFTER DEATH | Undertaker Retiring From Business Inters Body of Infant Left in His Hands by Father.

SACRAMENTO, June 19.—As the re- sult of a quarrel several weeks ago, Roland Holmes this evening fired five shots at Willlam Harbinson. The shots took effect in the abdomen. Harbinson will die. The shootinig-occurred in a saloon on Fourth between J and K streets Holmes was discharged from the county hospital yesterday, after having been treated for three weeks for in- Juries inflicted by Harbinson in an al- tercation on a public street, while both were om a spree. Although Harbinson is much the smaller in stature, he inflicted such shocking injuries upon his antagonist that it was feared Holmes would die. He was made permanently deaf in one ear and blind in one eye, while his tongue was so injured that he has not recovered speech since the assault Holmes during his confinement at the hospital, constantly brooded over his troubles, and several days ago sent a note into the city to Harbinson warn- ing him that while he had not prose- cuted him in court he would take re- venge upon him for the injuries re- ceived at his hands, and that when he did so he would “fix him good.” Harbinson paid no attention to the warning and was standing against a chair in the Fourth-street saloon to- pight when Holmes entered, and ap- proaching him unawares and without uttering a sound, ‘placed a revolver against his body and emptied the chamber of five cartridges. As the first shot was fired Harbinson was heard to beg Holmes not to kill him, but the frenzied man kept up the fire and Harbinson dropped to the floor. Holmes was placed under arrest and Harbinson taken to the Sisters Hos- pital. The' surgeons sald he would surely die.

June 19.—The Vice Presi- and the tariff plank in the plat- CHICAGO, dency » were the principal subjects s on among the delegates of the Republican National Convention to- day. | From present appearances Senator anks will be the choice for V President, as a sufficient number leaders have declared for him and an- nounced the probablie support of their gations for him to indicate his se- tion. The Indiana Senator was seen for a few minutes in the corridor of the Auditorium and was greeted by -a throng of men, who indicated to him their desire to see him named for sec- ond place on the ticket. He remained non-commital, as usual, his posftion being that the nomination would neith- er be sought nor refused. The knowledge that the Senator will not refuse hs communicated to the delegates 1d has largely increas- ed the prospects for his nomination The movement to-day for Represent- ative Hitt seems to have been prompt- ed to some extent by those who feit that Fairbanks should make a declar- ation. Then, again, the Illinois men feel that, in view of the action of their State convention, they must make an earnest effort for Hitt. It is a faet, however, that the recent iliness of Hitt in Washington has dampened the ar- dor of his support who acknowled that this will work to his disadw tage. Two active Vice Presidential aspir< | ants were about the Auditorium cor- ridors dusing the evening—John Les | Webster of Nebraska and John W. Springer of Coldgado. 'AND PAT” THE SLOGAN. Senator Lodge arrived from Massa- chusetts with a draft of the platform in his pocket. He was notified that he would be recognized to move the appointment of the committee on reso- lutions and this means his selection as chairman of the committee. All in- terest in the platform centers in the tariff plank and the sentiment is that there will be a straight declaration for protection, without promises for future tariff revision or reciprocity. Senator Allison of Iowa has been consulted regarding the tariff plank and has advised against making any pledges for future action. It is also understood that such a course will suit the President. There is no doubt expressed about the selection of Secretary Cortelyou for chairman of the national committee, although many men prominent in the party are found who do not hesitate | to privately express some disappoint- | ment that a more experienced peoliti- | clan was not chosen. | CULLOM TO NOMINATE HITT. | INinois has decided to make an ac- tive and aggressive campaign for Hitt | for Vice President. A caucus was held to-day in the State headquarters and | a campaign in the interest of the Illi- nois Congressman was decided upon. After a discussion between the leading men of the delegation, it was arranged that Senator Shelby M. Cullom should present the name of Hitt to the con- vention and seconding speeches will be made by at least two delegates, one from the Middle Missippi Valley and the other probably from New York. After the adjournment of the caucus (it was announced by some of the Ii- | linois men that the seconding speeches | would be delivered by Senator Dolliver | of Towa and some one eise yet to be { selected. The Senator was out of the | city to-day visiting friends and could ’nnt be seen, but members of the Jowa delegation scouted the idea that he ! would speak for Hitt. According to { them, he had received and not accept- |ed the invitations to speak for the nomination of Senator Fairbanks and | John L. Webster of Nebraska and | under the circumstances it was not |at all probable that he would second the nomination of Hitt. Moreover, | there is a decided sentiment among the | Towa men in favor. of Fairbanks, al- { though a number of them are for Hitt. | The Michigan delegates, after learn- | ing of the statements made after the | Illinois caucus, declared they were in Oondnledonruvl.ofi-vl.
