IKE BRoKAw.-At the Coroner's in
quest held In san Francisco day before
yesterday, OH the body Of Robert Ev-
ans, killed by Ike Brokaw, the follow
ing was among the testimony elected,
as reported IN the Chronicle Of yester-
day b. Howard Colt, sworn-I live
in this city ; knew Brokaw since Sep
TENDER 1st; he Is casual acquaint-
ance; know nothing of my W knowl-
edge concerning the trouble between
him and Evans; saw BroIaw after the
shooting at about six O'Clock, in the
City Prison /; asked him how the trouble
happened, and he told me that he went
to see Evans about some family mat
tiers, in relation to his tBrokaw's)
wife. He told Evans that he had heard
that an intimacy existed between him
and his wife, and it must end immedi-
stely and that he must not visit her
any more. Evans thanked him for his
warning, and said he would not. He
said it had been settled. and that he
and Evans went into the saloon and
drank together. When coming out
Evans turned to him and said he would
visit whom he pleased, and do what he
pleased. Brokaw replied, "You are u
liar, and you shall not" lie then
struck him with his left hand. He
said Evans stepped back and made n
motion to draw 4 weapon, when lie
drew his revolver, intending to beat
him over the head, when the pistol,
which was a self.cocker, went of acci-
dentally. I said, "Then you didn't
intend to shoot hin?" and Brokaw
answered, "So; II l had I would
have shot him higher up" The above
statement was made to me by Brokaw
In the City Prison before he knew
Evans was dead.
The NOVEMBER METEoRs.-It was
noted by all observant persons In this
section that the annual meteoric shower
occurring OH or about the 18th Of No
vember, amounted to almost nothing
this year. only a very few stars more
being noticed to fall on the night of
the 18th than OH any other night Of the
season. Relative to this meteorologi-
cal phenomenon, the Philadelphia
Ledger Of the 9th ult. says: 1.-The
November meteors were watched for
OIL the morning Of the 18th, at Yale
College, by six observers, who counted
l53 In four hours and forty minutes.
Last year the number was much larger,
and in 1868 there were about 1000 seen
OIL one morning by a party Of observ-
ers. From these observations, the ill.,
ference Is drawn that the great meteor
stream had this year passed by the or
bit of the earth ut the time Of observa-
ton in November. This belt of me-
tooric matter. 1t has been calculated,
Is about one thousand millions Of miles
long and fifty thousand miles thick,
spreads over about one-fourth OF Its
orbit, aal has a velocity of one hun
bred thousand miles M hour. The
November meteors, it Is believed, will
still be visible for several years, but In
smaller numbers each year until they
disappear entirely, to return again
with great splendor in the year 1900"
