MUST Be TRIED.
Frediani, Scatina's Slayer, Must Again
Face Jury.
Affidavits From San Francisco Physi.
clans Regarding His Alleged H.
ness-He is Not Dying.

Eduardo Frediani, the aged Italian
lime peddler, who fatally stabbed Guis-
seppe Scatini several months ago, is to
be tried again.
It will be remembered that shortly after
his last trial, which ended in disagree
ment Of the jury. it was stated that FIRE.
diani was in dying condition and would
probably not live to be tried again. In
consequence his trial was postponed in
definitely. Later on, however, District
Attorney Ryan became possessed of in
formation which caused him to believe
that Frediani was playing 'possum.
He went to San Francisco, where Fredi-
ami was alleged to be confined in a hos
pital. He learned there that the old man
was long way from being the one-foot-
in-the-grave individual represented.
NOT so VERY SICK.
Frediani's case was called up in the
Superior Court yesterday before Judge
Van Fleet, but Albert NJ. j Johnson moved
for another continuance on the
the principal attorney for the de-
fense, was not in the city, and
on the further ground that the old lime
peddler was still very i'll.
District Attorney Ryan was on hand,
and said that while he would not object to
a continuance on account of the absence
of attorney Grove L. Johnson, he did OBJ
ject to the defense resorting to the sick
ness plea. He then produced an affida-
Wit made by DIR. Mclaughlin of San
Francisco, to the effect that Frediani's IS
malady was chronic, and one that he had
suffered from for years-before the kill
ing Of Scatini. While the disease was
troublesome, it was not dangerous, and
would in no way prevent Frediani from
coming to Sacramento for trial.
ANOTHER OPINION.
This was quite strong point for the
prosecution. But the defense was there,
too, with an affidavit.
The document presented by attorney
Johnson was sworn to by DR.. Lobie, also
of San Francisco. This physician con-
sidered Fredianfs case quite serious, and
while he was fearful that the journey to
Sacramento would prove detrimental to
the patient, yet he thought that the trip
could be accomplished with safety by
easy stages.
Judge Van Fleet said the trial would
have to be proceeded with and the case
put on the calendar. He allowed the de-
Tense until July 23d to have the lime ped
dlar in cOUrt and he ready for trial

WHO'S THE oHLoRoFoRMER2
Two More Alleged Victims of th
Mysterious Villain.

Mysterious Villain.
Since the recent story of the chloroform-
ing of young lady on the Freeport road,
the garrohng fad will probably die out,
and now the festive pedestrian will be
put to sleep" in more humane manner
The new stories began to roll in yester-
day. An Italian giving the name of
Joseph Davis, and who says he recently
came from Sierra City, dropped into the
police station and told of a weird adven-
ture. He said that couple of days ago
he formed an acquaintance with a mySte-
rious individual, and the two crossed the
ferry to Clarksburg together. Suddenly
the mysterious individual seized the Ital-
ian, and holding him fast with one arm,
placed cloth saturated with some loud
smelling liquid over his nose--and that
was all he remembered. When he re-
gained consciousness he had headache,
but didn't have his money-something
like $500 all told.
The police are inclined to doubt the
romance, but say they will look into the
matter.
Last evening man who gave his name
as Adams was telling a crowd in front of
the Western Hotel of a chloroforming
experience he had gone through. He
stated that late in the afternoon he took
a stroll down the river front, and when
reaching point near the gas works two
men accosted him and asked for ten
cents. He replied that he had no money,
whereupon one of the men seized him
around the neck and the other put a
damp cloth over his face. He struggled
fiercely and succeeding in partially free
ing himself from them, yelled Justify for
help. The men then took fright and fed.
Adams said he was positive that the
cloth was saturated with chloroform.

ILLUMINATION.

Fine Success of the Fourth of July
Committee on illumination.
The Committee on uluminationltfor
the night of the Fourth of July yesterday
canvassed street from Third to Seventh
to ascertain who would agree TO illumi-
nate. The committee met with splendid
success. The parties consenting will
illuminate with fancy lanterns, or lines
Of tapers, or both, with open windows
and all lights turned on, and in other
ways. Many will burn colored fires and
discharge fireworks, and in some cases
there viii be unique designs and devices
of illumination. The district on j, from
Seventh to Tenth, win be next canvassed,
and then X street will be taken in hand
and a canvass made, and lastly, the sec
ond and third floors of buildings on both
streets.
Five heads of business houses were not
seen yesterday, one was contemplating
absence from the city, two took the mat
ter under advisement, three refused point
blank, and did not want any Fourth of
July IN theirs. All others, over eighty in
all, gladly, and some enthusiastically, as
sented 70 the request, and promised
especially Tine displays. The committee
was greatly encouraged, and states that 1t
believes that there viii be ut least 400
buildings illuminated on and X streets
alone, and many on the north and south
streets also.
The names secured of those agreeing to

General Allen was not satisfied with

In the Name of the Prophet,

Figs! cry the vendors of the fruit in Con-
stantinople. Certainly great cry over
a little wool" Scarcely less foolish is the
practice of those who fly to violent phys
licking for costiveness. They dose them
selves violently, weaken their bowels by
so doing, and disable them from acting
regularly, so that, verify, the last condi-
ton of such people is worse than the first.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the safe
and effective substitute for such vast ex-
pedients. But no, let us not call them
expedients, for it is by no means expedi-
emf to use them. What is needed is a
gentle but thorough laxative, which not
only insures action of the bowels without
pain or weakening effects, which also pro-
NOTES healthy secretion and flow of bile
into it's proper channel. Dyspepsia, de-
bility, kidney complaints, rheumatism
and malaria give in to the Bitters.

EVENING MEETING

The subject was 1.-THE Church and the
School" A good audience gathered in
Calvary Baptist Church to listen to the
speaker, DR.. Gilbert. The church, he
said, must go out from its own couimu-
nifty to care for otners-to bring them the
gospel and to relieve their wants. 1t
must also carry an educational word
along Bible lines. 1t must bring its
church members into the Sunday-school
and hold them there as long as they live
1t is the place for all people, young and
old.
Teachers should be duly prepared for
their sacred office and Solemnly inducted
into office. They are the pastors helpers
in preaching the gospel. The Office
should be magnified and made most
sacred and dignified.
Children, he held. should be regarded
as in the vestibule of the church, and in a
sense church members. Pastoral over
sight should be extended to all children
in the Sunday-school. The minister
should aim and work to get them into the
church. Many boys and girls are relig-
ious and no one encourages them in it.
The instruction was enjoyed throughout.
To-DAY's EXERCISES.
This afternoon, in the audience-room
of the Congregational Church, the subject
will be, The Infant Class"
This evening, in the same place, DIR.
Gilbert will give his popular lecture,
How to Save the Boys" He desires to
meet young unmarried men between Is
and 30 years.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 3.--One of the most
disastrous forest fires ever known in st.
Louis county has been raging for the past
three days in the west portion of the
county. Thousands of dollars worth Of
valuable property has been destroyed,
and unless there is rain within a few
days, the losses will reach an enormous
figure.
Montgomery, Ala.--A forest fire about
a mile west OF Vernon has been burning
since Thursday morning and its path is
now about mile wide. The flames
have been famed by strong wind and
have been beyond all human control.
Another forest fire is reported in Coosa
county, spreading rapidly toward the
river. The fire is burning houses and
barns on its way. There has been no
rain in several months.

are afraid to attempt any arrest or car-
ture, as the Indians nearly always 60 in
bands and are always ready to overpo wer
any attempt to bring them to justice.
After their escape to the reservation it is
nearly impossible to tell which Indian is
the guilty one Complaint made to the
Indian agent or any request made of him
to keep the Indians on their reservation
has hitherto failed in single instance to
receive any notice. The Navajos make a
practice of driving away horses and cattle
and holding them for ransom. 1t is no
unusual occurrence to see band of
drunken indians about the settlements.
Where or from whom they get the whisky
is mystery. 1t is reported that there is
still on the reservation for the manufac-
ture of iptoxcants. Repeated demands
of the agent for the arrest and punish
ment OF the malauders has been ignored.
The grand jury then goes on to say:
"As representative body of the peo-
pie of San Juan county, we most en-
phatically insist that imm edate action be
taken to stop these depredations and
afford protection to our citizens, and to
this end We would earnestly urge upon
the United States authorities that a
prompt and vigorous effort be made to
discover and punish the parties guilty of
furnishing liquor to the Indians; that the
Navajos be strictly prohibited from leav-
ing their reservations except on neces.
sary business, and then only with writ
ten permit from their agent, and that the
sheriff of this county be allowed to 90
upon their reservation, when necessary,
in pursuit of criminals or to recover stolen
property"
Judge Seeds, in his remarks to the
jury, promised the above matter should
be placed before the proper authorities.

The report of the San Juan county

evidence adduced before that body shows
the Navajo Indians are repeatedly per-

and among the settlements of residents
of that county to and in their houses and
about their premises, or wherever else
they choose, always carrying the best
equipped modern firearms and doing dep
relations of every kind in the most
threatening manner. They have stolen
horses and cattle by the hundreds and
driven them away to their reservation to
be slaughtered; have even come among
the settlements and on the ranges many
miles from their reservation to steal
property and stock. They have
been repeatedly caught in the
very act of lawessness, and the citizens
