Bouton yesterday morning from
which we are permitted to extract
the following:
will be in Wednesday or Thurs
day. had an exciting event hap
pen me last night In going from
here to the ranch. Three masked
highwaymen waylaid Mr.. Collins
and myself, and got our hands
chained together behind us and
chains around our necks, and Mr..
Collins chained to the buggy wheel.
Two of them were leading me off
into the brush to kill NE, as we
both think, when 1 slipped link
In the chain and got one hand free.
drew my revolver, which l still
had in my hip pocket, and shot the
one who was holding q shotgun al
most against me and then the one
leading me. The third came run
ming towards me and gave him
shot that sent him on the ground
into the brush. 1 then ran and re-
leased Collins and we got away
with the team. We came back
this morning and found the
body of the leader in the road about
half mile from the place where
the shooting occurred. Men are
looking for the other bodies.
Yours in haste, e. BOUTON.

FAN PAriicuiars of Gen. Bouton's
Ruma.tic Experience.
COTTON, Cal, July 29.-By the
Justice of the Peace of San Jacinto,
who has just arrived, / get full par
ticu!ars OF the fatal shooting which
occurred near San Gorgonio Mon
day night. Gen. Bouton arrived at
San Gorgonio, on the cars, at $3.50
M. He was met by his partner,
J. G. Collins, when the two
started in a light wagon
for their ranch in San Ja-
Slnto Valley. About three miles
from The station they were halted
by three masked men and their
hands chained behind them. Col
Inns was chained TO his wagon
wheel with the chain about his
neck. With a chain around BOu-
toms neck, they started to lead him
off to the brush, but had gone but
a short distance when Bouton got
his hands loose. The man in the
rear, noticing his movements, at
once cried "Halt," when Bouton
wheeled and shot him. Then, turn.
ing he shot the one in front. Bouton
hen ran to the wagon to release
Collins when the third man came
leisurely walking up the road,
thinking, 1t is supposed, that 1t was
his party doing the shooting, when
Bouton fired and felled him. Bou-
ton and Collins Mt once put whip to
their hurses and drove to Justice
Kennedy's oflioo, about nine mile
from the scene, when n posse was
started. They found that Wake
field had mounted his horse aud
ridden about q half-mile, then dis
mounted and died. An inquest WAS
held on his body. The jury re-
turned q verdict that he came to
his death from a gun-shot inflicted
by Gen. Il. Bouton in self-defense.
The two men who are still at large
are said to be Bill Covington, well
known in this valley. and one
Tripps, of San Diego county. Dep
uty SherIffs Mckinney and Thomas
left here on last nights train to
join In the pursuit. Wakefield's
body was brought here this moru-
ing and taken charge of by his rel
atives, who live at San Bernardino.
An old business feud is said to be
at the bottom of the trouble, and it
is believed that the murder of
Bouton was intended.

Republican Hypocrisy

The attention of those republicans who
are Indignantly lamenting that Southern
democratic majorities persist in sending
white democrats to Congress instead of
radical negroes. is called to the fact that in
an almost solid republican North not q
single district has ever been represented
by any other than a white man. The
colored citizens throughout the coun-
try are rapidly coming to sense OF
the hypocrisy of radical pretensions oil
regard for them or their rights and privi-
leges, and will soon be as divided upon the
political issues as are the whites.

The debate 10 the house, which will shortly
be renewed Ia the senate, is a very FORUM
ate one for congress as we'll as the coun-
try. The republicans have learned more
about constitutional law than they have
ever known before, and the average north
ern reader, who has interested himself IN
the discussion, has undoubtedly imbibed q
healthy supply of the doctrine of state
rights. The discussion, has been not
able one not only on account of the moral
victory it has given the democrats, but on
account of the Importance of the question
under consideration. 1t is for this reason
that we desire to see no abrldgement of
the debate in the senate. We want the
leaders of both parties to discuss the ques-
ton upon its though it is not pro.
bable that the republican senators viii
meet the issue with any more candor than
