Cilas. Schweitzcr Acquitted for the
Killing Of n. n Pifer.
He il Released in a Very Unusual
Manner.

The trial Of Chas. Schweitzer, who was
Pifer GU the 18th of last December, ended on
last Friday afternoon in a rather uncommon
manner. which was very pleasing to the
prisoner. At the close of the defence, and
Just prior to the usual arguments. District
Attorney Hogg asked the Judge to charge
the jury to acquit the defendent, which was
done without the jurors leaving their chairs.
Lyman !. Henry and u. C. Fink were on
the defence. These gentlemen thould be
highly complimented in regard to the Legal
manner in which they handled their side of
the case. Mr.. Henry was untiring in bis eff
forts aud he showed himself to be an able
cross.examineE.
Mr.. Fink also deserves great credit. Not
only did he work with all his might in the
capacity of lawyer, but he also acted as in
terpreter for the schweitzer boys, wh9 were
understood by the court and jury.
In the evidence it was claimed by the pros
ecution that the deceased intended no harm
to Schweitzer or bis brothers, who were
cupying the disputed claim, but it was after
wards proven that the deceased had made
many threats of a serious nature against them
which they, not being acquainted with the
ways of the west, took for granted he would
carry out. On the evening of December is,
1889. n. ". Pifer, accompanied by his brother
drove by the cabin in which the defendant
and his brothers were eating supper, soon
the deceased and his brother returned and
drove SO close to the cabin as to tear of enc
corner, whereupon Schweitzer sprang out
and after some words had passed between
them, Schweitzer, who grabbed his gun when
he first went out, raised it and fired before
he got it to his shoulder, the ball, 45
calibre, striking Piier in the abdomen, pass
ing clear through him. Pifer Immediately
drove home, where he died several hours
later.

The Iron Molders' Strike
Still On.
NO PROSPECT OF A SETTLEMENT.
The UnemplOyed-A New Steamship
Line-RailrOad Building and
Wet Weather.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERA1D
SAN Francisco, March 6.-The execu-
tive committee of the Iron Manufactur.
ers' Association this afternoon formulated d
statement for publication, refuting the
assertions of the striking Union molders
that they never maintained the restric-
ton clause regarding the am cunt OF labor
to be done in day. The executive com.
mittee of the Molders' Union received a
letter from the Sacramento Union. in
which 81 800 was placed at the disposal
of the strikers.
Mr.. Scott, of the Union Iron Works
said today; "We intend making prepsr-
atoms for long siege, if necessary. The
strike may last a month or may last a
year. When the time comes we will
send East for our castings, and, if ne .es.
sary. send to Europe.v
Some of the striking molders, wher
interviewed, ridiculed the proposition O
sending East for castings, saying the
freight alone would be from two to three
cents pound.
This afternoon the Engineers and Iron
founders Association issued an address
to their employees, pledging protection
to the men and boys now at work, and
making proposition to enter into con
tracts with the molders for term o
service extending over one or two years,
at wages varying from So to 81 day OF
ten hours, according to the ability of the
workman
