Banker Rawson's Wife Goes Cunning for
Lawyer.
CHICAGO, June 1st-A tremendous SEN
| sation occurred in Judge Jamieson's Court
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, while
the docket was being called Mrs. Meckie
Rawson was impatiently waiting for the
divorce case OF her husband, Banker Raw
son, to be called.
Colonel Fl. C. Whitney, her husbands
attorney, was sitting al side table writing,
when the Court was suddenly startled 10
hear pistol shot, and Colonel Whitney at
once disappeared under the table The
shot was followed by four more in rapid
| succession, and Mrs. Rawsan was seen pur-
| suing Whitney with a revolver.
Mrs. Rawson succeeded IN emptying her
revolver at Whitney before she could he
| captured. Two of the balls hit the lawyer,
one taking effect in the groin and the other
in the left leg. The wound near the groin
viii probably be fatal.
Judge Jameson at once ordered Mrs.
Rawsons arrest, and she was Immediately
| taken 10 the Sheritf's office.
THE WOMAN PROBABLY INSANE.
LArER.-This evening Lawyer Whitney
is resting easily, and IS in no danger, unless
blood poisoning should result from the
wound in his groin. But two bullets
struck him, one in the groin, inficting
quite severe wound, and one which
grazed the skin of the thigh.
Ralph Lee, Mrs. RaWson's son, who en-
| deavored to kill the banker last fall, did
not know of the happening of the day un-
| til his mother had been in Jail several
| hours. When told he inveighed bitterly
| against Rawson and lawyer Whitney, who,
he said, has bounded his mother and at.
| tackled her fair name until she had lost her
reason. He would not say more.
General Stiles, attorney for Mrs. Rawson,
said to a reporter that he had been afraid
she would do something desperate She
| has been driven frantic by the statements
brought against her character by Rawson
and his attorney.

The English Bantam, Murphy, Knocks
Out Williams,

BosToN, June 1st.-The fight tonight be-
tween Jack Williams, of Boston, and Frank
Murphy, the English feather-weight, who
is matched to fight Jack Havlin, proved
the hardest-fought battle ever witnessed in
this city. The fight was nominally for
fifteen rounds, but only one-third of that
number were necessary.
In the first round the fighting was very
severe, and Williams was twice knocked
down. In the second round Williams raj
lied wonderfully, and sent in slege-ham-
mer blows upon Murphy, one of which
felled him to the floor. The third and
fourth rounds were comparatively tame,
although both men were by no means idle.
The fifth round developed some terribly
hard fighting and Murphy ultimately
proved the victor. He planted a terrific
blow on Williams right jaw, completely
knocking him out.

MARYsvILLE, June 1st-The first car
load of fruit of the present season goes for
ward from Marysville tonight, consigned
to San Francisco parties. It consists chiefly
of peaches and apricots. A large quantity
of blackberTies from the Yuba foothills
were also shipped to-day, and half car
load of cucumbers was forwarded.
The brisk demand for combined harvest
ing machines and fruit boxes gives evidence
of q prosperous season in Yuba and Sutter
counties.
The Supreme Court decision that the
Wright Irrigation Act is constitutional has
stimulated with ective life the project for
the formation OF large irrigation district
in the foothills of this county between the
Yuba river and Honcut creek. SURVEYS
will be begun Immediately, and no doubt
is entertained that district will be formed
and bonds successfully placed on the mar
ket. Land is selling in these foothills,
without water for from $40 to $50 an
acre, and is unsurpassed for fruit produc-
ton.
A number of cherry growers in this
neighborhood have realized this season net
profits of from $500 to $40O per acre,
although the crop has been light.
The canneries here and at Yuba City
start up soon. White labcr will be en-
ployed almost exclusively.
