on each side of the wound held by
myself till the Doctor got things in
readiness to sew up the wound.
DR.. Rhodes sewed up the wound
and Lamblett is now resting easy,
but is feeble. Lamblett said that
as soon as his daughter, Mrs. Melto,
wife of Henry Melto, arrived, soon
after the murder OF Mrs. Lamblett,
that he (LambletO did not want to
live any longer since his wife was
dead. Yesterday, G. I. Jones, Dis
trict Attorney, interviewed Lamb
lett thoroughly. and left on the
noon train. He returned next night
with Deputy Sheriff Tim Lee, and
that, in connection with some of
the people here accusing him of
the crime, he fearing that he was
going to be taken to Sacramento,
and the parting with his children
so worked upon Lamblett, that, l
believe in fit Of despair, he de-
termined to put an end to his life.
Lamblett was questioned earnestly
to know if he had done this out of
remorse on account of numbering
his wife, but he declared positively
and earnestly that he did not hurt
his wife; that she was q good wo
man and that he loved her and did
not want to live as she was gone.
He is carefully watched. Thus far
no clue has been found which
throws any light upon the murder.
A great deal Of speculation is going
on among the people. About half,
without any cause to go by, accuse
Lnmblett of committing the deed,
but l have not sufficient evidence
to cause me to think anything of
the kind. AS soon as Lamblett is
well enough he will have an exam.
ination before Justice Sheldon, and
will be held il any evidence of guilt
can be established.

EUREKA, August 20.-The coal
Il frn
if IS posse attacked coal ranch a.
Fish Creek, between Sunday and
dark last evening. Many shots
were fired and five Italians killed
and six bodily wounded. Several
prisoners were also taken. A mes
senger arrived at four o'clock this
morning from the scene of the bat
tie. He Immediately returned, ac-
companied by Coroner Smith and
DR.. Thomas, the latter going out to
look after the wounded. The
bodies of the killed are expected in
this evening.
There is great excitement over
the affair, and all sorts OF rumors
are in circulation. None of the
Sheriff IS posse received scratch
in the fight. This causes many
people to believe that the coal
burners were not armed. On the
other hand, the messenger reports
that the Italians fired the first shot.
The exact truth cannot he ascer-
tained until the return of the Cor
oner.
The Sheriff's party numbered
seven men, as follows: Deputy
Sheriff Simpson, Billy Martin, Joe
Toomey, Bob Brown, Marshall
Rich, Jim Porter and John Storey.
The messenger asserts that they
were confronted by over one hum
dred Italians, all were armed. Gen
eral Sabin, commanding this di-
vision, had on yesterday issued an
order relieving the military compa-
MES from active duty. On learning
this morning of the Fish Creek
fight, he promulgated another or
der mastering them all in again.
1t is not unlikely if the Italians
show fight that there will be some
bloody work in the neighborhood
within the next few days.

house and several parties drank OF
it with no i'll effects. On Sunday
night about 10 o'clock Brewster re-
turned from his work and took q
drink out of the SAME bottle mixed
with sugar and water, mixing ii
himself. In about fifteen minutes
he said he would take another
drink. His wife undertook to get
it and prepare it. He drank it, but
complained of very bitter taste
and said he was poisoned. He was
shortly after taken with spasms
and commissions, which continued
until he died on Monday at 6 A. NJ.
He screamed very much and was
in great agony. An examination
before a Justice of Walla Walla
took place Tuesday night. Evi-
dence was given by the parties who
drank previously out Of the bottle.
a neighbours wife gave important
evidence to the effect that she was

that they went to drug store and
the wife purchased strychnine,
with the excuse that it was for
killing rats. rhe wife's sister, who
