been received by Everson. The question
was ruled out of order and the witness
was withdrawn.
Mrs. VIM. Everson testified that her
husband had come to his death on June
10th last. She had been married Is
years and had boy IL years old. Her
husband was 38 years of age at the time
of his death. She had lived in the State
three years and in the county two years.
On the day in question she had seen the
defendant drive away from his home
about O'Clock in the afternoon, and had
seen him drive in his fathers driveway
about O'Clock that evening. Ten min
utes afterwards she heard shot fred,
and five minutes later she saw him drive
away with his brother in another direc-
tion. After she heard the shot she heard
her little boy cry and ran out to see
what was the matter. She ran to where
the body of her husband lay and found
that he was dead. The horses were near
by, standing quietly, looking at the body,
which lay on its side, with the left arm
extending upward. The lines of tie
horses were by the side of the body.
Mr.. Joseph Hankins was the only one
who was near the body when she ar
rived.
Earl Everson testified that he had
seen his father in the road, dead, on
June 10th. A few minutes before he had
seen his father at we'll, watering his
horses. They had been stacking hay
that day, aud having finished the work
went to the we'll. The boy had the COW
and remained at the we'll after his father
had lett with Mr.. Joseph Hankins, who
had also been at the we'll. He had not
seen Erastus Hankins that evening.
At this point the case was continued
until tomorrow morning at $50 o'clock.
The prosecution announced that it had
five or six more witnesses to examine in
this line of testimony.

Few WashOuts.
The heavy rainstorm early yesterday
morning sent perfect deluge of water
pouring down the Cajon Pass, and the
trackmen on the California Southern dis
covered that goodly piece of the road
was washed out this side of the summit.
The news was at once telegraphed to
Superintendent G. W. Sanborn, at San
Bernardino, who got together big gang
of laborers and proceeded to the scene OF
the trouble. 1t did not prove 80 dis
astrous as was at first anticipated, and
the road was fixed up after delay of
three hours to the overland passenger
train bound for this city, which was at
the time considerably late, owing to
trouble on the A. & P.
The Southern Pacific officials report
that the rain extended long way south
on the desert, where the downpour was
unusually heavy. Only few washouts
occurred, however, and they were very
slight, No. 20, the Pacific Express, being
only delayed two hours altogether.

THE OIL SUPPLY.
The Demand Growing Greatly in

The Demand Growing Greatly In
This Section.
"There is only half enough petroleum
produced here to supply the demands of
Los Angeles" said an oil magnate to
a HERALD reporter yesterday afternoon
during conversation on the fuel supply.
"At the present time the city is consum-
ing an average Of 300 barrels day and
if we could ship in three times that num-
Der We could dispose of them all in this
section. Over twenty applications for
oil have been received from steamers
and tugs since the law permitting them
to burn oil as fuel was passed, but we
cannot supply them as we must attend to
the wants of the town first. There is no
doubt that we must sink more wells for
as we get about So barrel you can get a
good idea what there is in the business. /"
"Are there not number of wells be-
ing bored now," asked the reporter?
Eyes, think there are twelve in all.
Let me see-Hodgson & Stewart are
sinking four, VIM. Lacey three, the
Pacific Coast Oil Company two, Nc
Dougall, Walker & Adams l, and the
Whittier people THAT makes twelve
doesn't it?"
"About how many barrels does we'll
give out day." was the next question
by the news-gatherer?
sit is impossible to say" was the re-
ply" Some of the wells have named
may give no oil at all, others three
hundred barrels day, while there is a
possibility of running the total up to the
famour Baker well in Russia which gives
so 900 barrels day, but I need scarcely
say it is very unlikely that our wells
will ever play the limit. Good-day, )"

waved his hand frantically at a passing
street-car and then plunged into the

Afternoon session.

Constable Blakeslee was called at the
afternoon session. He testified as to re-
oeiving the revolver that was used on the
fatal evening. 1t was given to him by
the elder Hankins at his (Hankins' res
idence, just after the killing. Cor oner
Meredith handed him the revolver. 1t
was Colts make. He kept it until the
next day and handed it back to the Cor
oner. Mr.. Damron here handed the wit
ness the revolver that Hankins used in
the killing of Everson. The witness
identified it as the one given him by the
Coroner.
Josiah Russell said he had lived at
Florence for twenty years, and he knew
William Everson, and saw the body OF
the deceased on the night of the 10th.
1t was lying on the porch of the Everson
residence. The witness had examined
the body and noticed the wound on the
arm.
Coroner Meredith was called. He said
the revolver he received was large one
IA or 46 calibre. He received it at old
Joseph Hankin's house. The witness
said he could not tell whether it was
loaded or not when he first received it.
DR.. Wallace made the post-mortem ex-
animation OF the body. The pistol never
posed ont of his hands from the time he
6rst received it until he turned it over to
N officer of the court.
Mr.. Meredith asked to correct his state
ment regarding the revolver. He said
he gave it to a constable and that official
brought it to Los Angeles.
Ernest Clark, lad of IA, said he saw
Everson few nom ants before he was
killed. Everson was watering his horses
ct the we'll near Clark's store. Ever
sons little boy was with him. After the
horses were watered the owner started
home with them. The little boy was left
behind and watered his COW. A short
time later-two minutas-he heard shot
fred. The witness then went to where
the body of Everson lay. He caught the
horses that Everson had been leading.
They were inside of thirty feet away from
where the body lay. Mrs. Everson was
near the body and was screaming. Old
man Hankins stood near the body.
Everson's little boy also stood near the
body as it lay in the road. While Ever
son was watering his horses at the we'll,
old Mr. Hankins was also there. and the
two engaged in friendly conversation.
A moment later the two walked off to
gether.
DR.. Cocbrane was recalled and was
asked question relating to his opinion

celebrity as a medium. Her exhibitions

she is capable of invoking the aid of de-

Cars I'm Demand.

District Superintendent Elwood, of the
Pullman car service, informed HERALD
man yesterday that since last June his
company has been called upon to build
twenty-five new sleepers fer the South
ern Pacific on account of the increased
California travel. The Santa Fe has
also added ten new cars to it's stock and
will probably need more if, as is antici.
pated, the bulk of the tourist travel takes
place after the New Year. Mr.. Elwood
said that every Pullman car operated on
the Southern Pacific is supplied with a
buffet service, and this enhancement o
creature comforts while travelling has
proved very successful to those who are
financially operating it.

THE CHINESE. BILL.

The Senate Refuses to Reconsider Its Aciion,
and Sends the Measure to the President.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Sept lin his effort to make
party capital out of our international difficulties,
the President has got himself into q very
tight place. The passage of the Chinese exclu
sion bill, to day, in the Senate, has placed that
troublesome matter entirely in the hands of the
chief executive. Having given his approval to
this extreme measure, he cannot consistently
refuse to sign it, and yet there are quite num-
Der of Pacific slope congressman who express
considerable doubt as to whether the bill will be
approved. At the State Department there is 10
doubt expressed as to the condition OF the
treaty. They say that the treaty has not been
rejected; that. in fact, il has not been acted
upon in any way. The passage of the bill to-
day was owing to a change of base on the part
of Senator Stockbridee. On Friday he voted
for reconsideration, and to-day he turned around
and voted against the motion of Senator Blair.
AS the motion was lost but By one vote it would
have been carried had Senator Stockbridge held
to his action of Friday. The refusal Of the Sen
ator to reconsider came quite as a surprise.
While it was generally admitted that the vote
would be close one, yet Mr.. Sherman's speech
was expected to save the Senate from such
hasty action when in possession Of the positive
assurance of tho State Department that the
Chinese government had not. as yet. bad time
70 consider the treaty, much less reject it.

If the Indianapolis News is doubtful of the
truthfulness of this quotation from the Lon
don Spectator
"Grover Cleveland has done more to ad-
vance the cause of free trade than any Prime
Minister of England has ever DONE
1t should consult the Hartford Courant. The
Hartford Courant is good authority, and it
says in reply to the New York Evening Posts
assertion, that nobody pretends he ever saw
the passage which purports to come from the
London Spectator
s.Why, bless your ignorant eyes, the Cour-
ant copied that from the Spectator itself as
soon as it appeared, and set it going. and
we've got the copy of the Spectator still in the
Office"
AS to another disputed English quotation,
stated to be from the London Times
1.-THE only time that England can use an
Irishman is when he emigrates to America
and votes for free trade
Ben Butterworth says he read it in the
London Times several years ago. Mr. Butter

avoid he'force of the English Endorsement Of

six months by Justice Field, of the United

Sharon case. in the United States Circuit Court,
few days ago. petitioned the court for revo-
cation OF his sentence. Justice Field announced
the decision Of the court to-day, and denied the
petition. Judge Terry claimed in his petition
that he did not intend to do or say anything dis
respectful to the court, and that he did not as
sault the marshal until that officer had first as
saulted him. Justice Fields decision, which was
very lengthy reviews the circumstances of
the contempt. and declares that when the mar
shall undertook to execute the order OF ths court
and remove Mrs. Terry from the courtroom for
her language to the court, Judge Terry inter
fered and struck the marshal, and afterwards.
Judge Terry, whom just outside of the court
room, drew q knife which he was prevented
from using by deputy and others present.
Justice Field, in denying the petition, declares
that Terryis statements are not in accord with
the facts they occurred under the immediate
observation Of the court, or with the accounts
OF other parties present. he also declares tina.
Terry violated the law by coming into the court
room with deadly weapon concealed on his
person, and, as An attorney, committed out
rage upon professional propriety which rem
dered him liable to be disbsrred. Justics Field 5
