show that the witness had told James
Heffner, a farmer residing at Elizabeth
lake, that Chormicle was unarmed at
the time of the first scuffie, but this the
witness denied Dime acknowledged
that he had testified before Justice
Austin that the shanty in question be-
longed to Chormicle, but stated that he
had since learned that Juan Liebes
claimed it as his. The defense dwelt at
considerable length upon the fact that
there was patch of growing volunteer
barley near the house, and questioned
the witness very closely as to whether
or not Walton drove the wagon over the
barley in hauling the lumber. Olme ad-
mitted that they had driven through
the barley, but insisted that they
followed wagon trail, which had been
used prior to the occasion when the
shooting occurred.
Then the story OF the shooting was
repeated and gone into minutely. Dime
was positive that Chormicle did not
come out of the house before the shots
were fired, and tell Walton to take his
lumber away. He insisted upon his
statement that both defendants fired
from the inside of the house and that he
could see them; and when asked who
shot Cook, he said: Gardener shot
Cook. 1t could not have been Chormicle,
because distinctly saw Gardener shoot
him." In reply to question by the
court as to what the man and boy were
doing all this time at the side of the
house, Dime stated that the old man re-
manned sitting down, and the boy stood
at his side. Cooks pistol was produced
and identified by the witness, who was
then closely questioned with regard to
how he carried it and where it was
found, and at this juncture court ad-
journed until tomorrow morning.

THE CASTAC CASE.
Cross-Examination of Dime Occupies a
Dav.

cross-Examinatio of Dime Occupies
Day.
In department of the superior court
Yesterday morning the Castac canon case
was resumed before Judge Cheney and
Jury, the whole day being devoted to
the cross-examination of the witness
Joseph Dime, who told graphic story
of the shooting on Thursday last. He
testified in effect that he was born in
this county and was 20 years of age. He
was a brother-in-law of the deceased
Dolores Cook, and was living at Cooks
house. He had done some work tor
Cook, but had not received any pay for
it. He then repeated his former story
of the quarrel over the first load of lum-
ber, in detail, and this took up the time
of the court until the noon recess.
On resuming the hearing after lunch,
the defense went very closely into the
positions occupied by the defendants
with relation to the shanty, and Dime
stated that Gardener stood near the door,
Chormicle being about ten PAGES dis
tant and within three feet of Walton.
Before they came out of the shanty the
door had been ajar, but they pushed it
open wider to allow of their coming out.
The wagon was then twenty PAGES from
the house, Cook being twenty-five OF
thirty yards behind it. When Gar
dener came out with loaded rifle in his
hand, the witness was seven or eight
PAGES from the house.
An effort was made at this juncture tt

HOW FARMERS ARE CARED FOR

An interesting aspect Of the Tariff contro-
versy is the effect Of Protection upon the
farmer and agricultural wo,kmen who have
all along been the objects OF especial solicit
tude with Free-Trade attorneys, from Mon
gredien OF the Golden Club to the little
meeting. Farmers are urged TO believe that
their interests were purposely ignored in the
preparation Of our Tariff laws, while in fact
agriculture has been neither overlooked nor
Disseminated against. Quite as many prod
ucts OF The farm ale enumerated in the Tariff
schedules as OF any other single industry.
All the cereals, vegetables, metal, wool,
products OF the diary and orchard are defend.
ed by duties ranging from ten to fifty per
cent. of theil value. And the 'reformer'
who argues through all the other schedules
that the price OF the domestic products is
materially enhanced by Tariff on competing
foreign products, only stulli6es himself in
.contending that The farmer gets no benefit
from the tariff Of 40 cents bushel on foreign
grown wheat, and half as much on oats and
barley raised across the Canadian border
and sold in the United States. The 20 per
cent Tariff collected on am importation OF
81, ooo, 900 value Of live animals in the last
fiscal year was to that extent as complete a
Protection as the Tariff on silks or any other
product Of foreign manufacture. Further
proof that the farmer has not been discrinn-
ated against in national legislation is to be
found in our homestead law. Under this
law any citizen who will occupy and improve
the land is given tract Of SO to 100 acres,
according to location, upon the mere payment
of fees for survey and record OF patent. No
equally liberal treatment has been accorded
to any other industry. And it may be well
to remember that this policy ofgiving homes
TO farmers found vigorous opponents among
the same class Of philanlhropists who are now
working for the untaxed admission Of farm
products raised in foreign countries.
1t is quite safe to class all Tariff reform
wailings over alleged unjust discrimination
against the farmer with the equally hollow
pretense that the house building trades COM
mand relatively higher wages because they
are not enumerated in the Tariff schedules.

JONES, SILVER SPEECH.

The San Francisco Chronicle, which has
used more good sound argument in favor
of the free coinage of silver than any other
paper in California, has the following 10 say
OF Senator Jones and his silver speech;
s'There is no man in either House OF Con-
gress better equipped to discuss the silver
question in oil its varied bearings than Sem
ator Jones Of Nevada. For this reason his
speech on the subject, made in the Senate
on Monday and Thursday, should be read
carefully by every one who takes an interest
in the question. and there is no good citizen
Of this country who can avoid being interest

gold men in the belief that gold has always

to enhance the value Of money by reducing

yet it would be no more crime against sound
