ing failed to carry out its policy. Be
sides, 1t is reported, on apparently good
authority, that the Union Pacific, which
ordered the payment of commissions to
cease on February lSt has countermanded
that order
As the matter now stands it looks as if
the Western roads had shifted the re-
sponsibility for the failure of the scheme
upon the Eastern lines, owing to the fail
ure OF the Board of Rulings to enforce the
proposed boycott.
A complaint having been made by
some roads that too much of the proceed
lngs Of the association get into public
prints, Chairman Midgley of the Western
Freight Association has sent out a
strictly private communication to the
members OF the association discussing
the matter, and saying that it is contrary
to the spirit of all agreements to furnish
copies OF the proceedings to non-memb-
ers to show to the public.

VENTURA OPIUM.
A Large Lot Of Five Tael Boxes
Brought In.

A Large Lot Of Five Tael Boxes
Brought In.
1t has been an open question for some
time. among coastwise sailors of how
much opium was being landed along the
coast from time to time, says the Ventura
Free Press. There seems to be no doubt
about the existence of smugglers, and
the frequent appearance of strange ves-
sells off the coast bears out the theory
that something of systematic business
is being carried on.
A man named Peter Jordon, sailor,
who has made several trips here on
schooners, and who was in Ventura a
few days ago, is given as authority as to
the manner of handling the drug. There
are several smart schooner-rigged ves-
sells employed in the business, accord
ing to the story of the sailor, and they
stand off and on in the track of ocean
going vessels, principally of the China
line steamers, and away out at sea one
of these vessels will take off what drug
is on board the ship, and beat off down
the coast to watch an opportunity to
land her stuff.
'.Iknow, said he, of one time not more
than month ago of lot of fve-tael
boxes which were landed at Ventura and
afterward shipped away. There is nc
trouble at this place. l am not going to
give it away, but l know what l am
talking about, all the same"

boats floating near, while Rogers was
nowhere in sight. Garcia was rescued,
the empty boats recovered and an un-
availing search made for the body of
Rogers.
1.-THE theory OF murder was based prin-
cipally on broken oar found in one of
the boats and the fact that Rogers was
an excellent swimmer. There were
other circumstances which were at the
time thought to be suspicious. Garcia
gave himself up to Captain Jinks, who
subsequently turned him over to the
authorities, and he was placed in Jail at
San Bernardino.
"a subsequent search recovered the
body of young Rogers, and an inquest
was held. The evidence showed that
the boat in which Garcia was on the
lake was that of his employer; that
Rogers boarded it and attempted to dis
possess Garcia and throw his bundle
overheard; that Garcia resisted, the
men grappled and both fell overheard
that the oar was broken several days
| prior to the accident, and that there
were no signs of violence apparent or
the body of young Rogers"

NOT A MURDER.

The Drowning Of Rogers in Bear
Valley Lake.
The Riverside Phoenix makes the fol-
lowing statement about the Bear valley
tragedy:
"a very sad casualty occurred at the
Bear Valley reservoir last Saturday al
ternoon, which was at first thought to
be a murder. Stephen 7. Rogers. OF
Redlands, lost bis life and Juan Garcia,
q Portuguese in the employ of Captain
links. was jailed on the charge OF hav-
ing murdered him.
HThe facts, briefly stated, are these;
Young Rogers and two companions were
stavine at the Bear Valley lake for
time. and they missed float which had
been detailed to their service by the
Rear Valley company. subsequently
thew saw Garcia on the lake in boat
which they took to be the one they had
lost. and Rogers got boat and started
