one Brother Shoots Another for Trespassing
On His Land.
RENO, July 3.-This morning Alvaro
Evans shot his brother Newton Evans with
bird shot. The shooting is the outgrowth
OF trouble of long standing. Alvaro Evans
owns tract of land ON the western edge of
town and Newton owns a piece just beyond.
Alvaro has recently fenced in his land and
notified Newton not to cross it. Newton
this morning went there and tore down the
fence in order to let his men and teams
through into his field, where he is engaged
In putting up large crop of alfalfa. When
Alvaro was notified of what he had done he
seized shotgun and proceeded to the place
and emptied both barrels into Newton's
person. The wounds inflicted, however,
are but slight. Alvaro says if Newton
makes further attempt to cross his land
he will kill him. Both men are wealthy
and prominent citizens in the community,
and the shooting created much excitement.
Friends of both parties have interceded to
settle the trouble, lind it is hoped there will
be no further bloodshed.

Marin County

Marin County.
SAN RAFAEL, July 3.-The school census
OF San Rafael taken in May last showed a
decrease in the juvenile population since
last year Of nearly 800. This remarkable
falling off was all the more inexplicable in
view of the fact that our town has been and
is steadily increasing in population. County
Su perintendent of School Furlong refused
TO accept the Census Marshal's report and
ordered another census taken. The revised
census, just completed. reduces the loss
since last year to PIG children. The district
6 aims $500 by having the second census
taken, but Will still lose heavily in its ap-
pOrtionment of school funds for the present
fiscal year. The new census was taken with
the greatest care, yet the decrease in chill
