GOT PLOCHE FAIR PLAY.
He Was Too Quick for the California Des-
PeradO.

He Was Too Quick for the California Des-
peradO.
From the Santa Paula Gazette.
Joe Dye, the bad man of Ventura county, has
gone the way of his sort. He got "Ploche fair
play" at the hands of a man whom he had
threatened to kill, and double load of buck
shot made 80 many holes in him that the doctors
couldn't keep him alive. The threatened man
laid for Joe at a second-story window and when
he came along the street the man called out,
Hello, Joe, having some scruples about taking
q man entirely unawares and shooting him
when he wasn't looking. Joe looked up, saw
the man with the gun, and pulled his pistol, but
just as he raised the weapon the man turned
loose both barrels, and that was the end Of the
man who had been the terror of the southern
counties for years.
In dealing with man like Joe Dye, who had
a record of several homicides, public opinion
in California requires only that his attention
shall be called to the fact that he is about
to be shot, and il the warning and the shot are
nearly simultaneous no harsh criticism is heard.
Draw and-bang-defend yourselfn' That
is Phoebe fair play. Joe got it, and his slayer
will be acquitted on the ground OF self-defense.
Joe himself had been acquitted on no better
grounds several times.
the only man who ever was too quick for
Joe DYE before this magical event was Petro-
leum scott, the OLD ventura oil man, tall,
wiry, nervous chap, who would be the terror
of stenographers if he were public speaker.
Phillips Brooks is a leisurely drawler compared
to Scott Scott and Dye had legal contest
over an oil claim on the Sespe, and while the
case WIS pending Scott prudently avoided dis
cussing it with Joe, whose temper and trigger
finger were notoriously quick and apt to act in
concert.
One day Scott and Dye met in a Santa Paula
saloon, and sitting down at a table together
clinked glasses and chatted about things in gen.
eral. Scott carefully abstained from talking
about oil claims, hut Joe finally broached the
subject and made some statement about the
record that was not correct. This is the way
Scott tells the story: without thinking said
Joe. you are a liar. and as soon as the words
we're out of my mouth he yanked his revolver
and stuck it under my nose. But I was too
quick for him. / took it all back before he
could shoot"

LIEUT.. PEARY's LEG BROKEN.
The Steamer Kite Brings Back News of tn
Greenland Expedition.

The Steamer Kite Brings Back News of the
Greenland Expedition.
A st. Johns, N. f., dispatch to the New York
Herald today says that the arctic steamer Kite
arrived there yesterday with reports of inter-
esting experiences in Greenland, which include
a struggle of three weeks with bergs and foe
ice in Melville bay, during which period she
made only 100 miles. Lieut.. Peary, his wife
md five associates were landed in Mccormick
bay, Murchison sound. Whale sound, his origi-
nal destination, was frozen over and inaccessi-
bic by reason of ice islands and bergs.
While in Melville bay Peary broke his leg be-
low the knee and he was landed from the Kite
on a stretcher. The accident occurred on July
II, about latitude IS degrees, longitude So de-
grees 81 minutes.
The steamer had been jammed in about the
same position for some time. In the evening
of that day a strong breeze came up and the
ice opened o little and the vessel commenced
cutting her way through. The Kite came to q
heavy bar of ice and the order was given to 60
astern and then charge the obstruction. Lieut.
Peary was behind the wheel house, unknown to
the officer on the bridge. The rudder struck Q
large cake Of ice and was knocked over to port.
The wheel was sent flying out the hands OF the
two helmsmen, the iron tiller hitting Lieut..
Peary on the right leg below the knee, break
ing both bones.
It was clean break, and everything looked
favorable for rapid recovery. He was carried
below and o couch rugged up for HIM in the So
loon. His private physician, Dr.. Cook, de-
cided that the occurrence need not interfere
with the expedition, as he would probably be "a

the accident

ANXIOUS TO EMIGRATE.

Another Scheme to Send Negroes to Liberia.
An Atlanta. Ga, special to the New York
Times says: The negroes of this section are
again excited over a scheme by which they are
to be transported to Liberia. The author of
the present movement is the Rev. Benjamin
CASTOR OF Monrovia, Liberia. He arrived in
Atlanta three weeks ago. held a meeting al
Scheltz Hall and unfolded his scheme. CASTOR
explained that he only asked for the sum OF
5000 to carry over the first load of negroes.
He would start with not less than 200 or more
than 700, but the $4,000 had to be raised be-
fore he could start. The ships in which he pro-
posed to carry over the negroes, he says, arc
owned by himself and Elder, Demsey 4 Co. of
Liverpool, England. He calls his company the
African Emigration Company.
The minister told glowing story of what the
Liberian government would do for all those who
went there. 1t was not exactly forty acres
and mule, but it was twenty-five acres and
six months rations. The promise of such sud-
den riches staggered the negroes, and they be-
gan the task of raising the necessary $4,000 to
get the first installment of them off. For three
weeks enthusiastic meetings have been held.
secretary and treasurer were elected and
the grand movement was started. 1t is now in
full blast and about 800 or l, 700 negroes have
joined in it. They are patiently waiting for the
required sum to be raised 30 that they can sail
for Liberia.
CASTOR is an intelligent looking negro, sixty
years of age and well educated. He claims to
be Baptist minister. He says he was born in
Baker county, Ga, and left in 1866 for Liberia

How to Get a Pretty Necktie.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
There is a new fad among sentimental young
women, and one that is being warmly en-
couraged by those of their admirers who have
pendants for pretty neckties. The most these

necktie stock is to compliment judiciously the
dainty new crepe and silk gowns of their fair

Maj Pollard of Gen. Ordway's staff, brigade in
spector of rifle practice. Capt. Parmenter, the
-quartermaster general, was a busy man at the
station, where good many of the non-shoot-
ing guardsmen had assembled to bid adieu to
the riflemen. The captain had thousand and

EXPLORING THE NORTH.
Natives Of . Boring Sea Island Who Live
on Walrus Flesh Only.

on Walrus Flesh Only.
Victoria, B. c.. special to the New York
Herald today says: The Boring sea commits
ment have returned from the north and are now
at Nanaimo, where they arrived yesterday morn
ing. Professors Mendenhall, Hart and Mer-
RAM, United States commissioners, came down
on the Albatross the United States vessel that
conveyed them to sea. The Albatross. after
coaling, will leave Nanaimo direct for Tacoma,
where the commissioners will t,ke the Northern
Pacific railroad and proceed to Washington to
make their report to Secretary Blaine.
Mr.. Ivan Petroff, the United States special
census agent returned on the Albatross with
the commissioners. He has been engaged in
taking the census Of the natives of Nunivak
Island. located in Boring sea- in the Goth de-
gree of north latitude He found the porula.
ton to consist of over 600 natives.
1t was previously supposed that over 800 peo-
pie lived on the island. There are no white
men there, and the natives live in a most prim-
walrus and their only possessions and wealth
consist Of ivory obtained from the tusks of that
animal. There are few land otter to be found
on the island, but aside from these the natives
catch no fur-bearing animals, and they are ex-
tremely poor.
The iabors OF the commissioners of both ma
tions have been concluded and the Danube is
now on her way down with Sir George Baden
Powell and DIR. Dawson and may be expected
here any day. Mr.. Petrof states that Profs.
Mendenhall and Merriam were busily engaged
all the way down on their report, which is now
ready for submission to the government
The schooner Sayward arrived at Victoria
from Boring sea Saturday afternoon. She re-
ports having captured 500 skins in Boring sea
in two weeks. She saw nothing of the revenue
cutters or gunboats, being out Of the beaten
track, and received no warning. The captain
returned simply because he was scared and for
no apparent reason.

A SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTs.
Discovery of Frightful Crimes Committed
by Couple in Colombia


by . Couple in Colombia
The village of Tomas de Zamora, near Ban.
field station, in the United States of Colombia
is the scene Of as startling sensation as the
annals Of crime contain. 1t consists in the dis.
covery Of a series of murders, beginning in
1859 or 1860 and continuing to 1890 and result
ing in the death of ten sons and daughters and
the three grandchildren of the murderers. The
author Of these crimes is Marciano Medina. and
his wife, Paulina Benavedes, and his daughte,
Remigia have been the accessories, if not the
accomplices, in several of the murders.
The discovery Of Medins's crimes was due
indirectly to the action OF Remigia, his daugh
ter, in leaving her fathers home to elope with
her lover. Remigia charged that Medina and
his wife had killed a number Of their children
and buried them on their ranch.
MEDINA AND HIS WIFE
were arrested. They at first denied thu
charges, but at length were induced to fully
confess their crimes. According to the con
fession. Medina and his wife lived formerly ir
Les Flores, where they were married in 1858
They lived in an inn Of the village, the husband
being man of all work. and his wife attending
the kitchen of the establishment.
The first murder occurred after they ha6
been married year and half. A son haG
been born to them, who, when few months
old. was afflicted with a touch of fever. One
night Medina took the child away from home
ON horseback, under the pretext of consulting
a doctor. While riding along he placed the
child's breast against the pOmmel of his saddle
and crushed the breath out of its little body
Then he carried it to the shore of Lake Blanca
and buried it on land belonging to DR.. Monies
DE Oca.
A year later, a second son, Guadaloupe, si1
weeks old, was taken from home by the father
The baby was murdered and its body was
taken home and buried in the presence of the
mother, who again became accessory to the
crime by her silence. The next victim. baby
boy, was killed by strangulation when three
months DID, and the body was buried in
neighboring ranch. The next two unfortu
nate babies were girls, Felipa, who was smoth
cred in her cradle when four months old, anG
Tellja, whose brains were blown out by Medins
when she was five months old.
These murders were followed by others equally
horrible.
The list of Medinas crimes was not restricted
to his offspring, but included the murder o.
three sons Of his unmarried daughter, who
were also beaten to DEATH They we're buried
on the ranch.
The discovery of these crimes has occasionet
intense excitement in Lomas dc Zamora ant
the adjacent towns. Excavations made on Me
dina's ranch have resulted in the finding o.
the skeletons of some of the murdered chill
dren. Medino says that he killed his own chill
dren because he had not the means to supper
them, and killed Remigia's SONS to hide hi
daughters shame.

The Presidents Carriage Damaged,

A Cape May Point special to the New York
Herald today says: The presidential carriage this
morning was wrecked in the Sea Breeze Hotel
yard, having been out on racket last night
While Mrs. Harrison and her friends were attend
ing the children's carnival last evening William
Turner, the White House coachman, drove over
to the Palace pharmacy to make some pur-
chases for Mrs. Harrison, leaving the spirited
horses unguarded. No sooner had Turner
reached the store than the horses leaped
into the street and started down toward the
beach, where they dashed along the beach
boulevard at a great speed. Nearing the Sea
Breeze Hotel the presidential carriage came
into contact with Adam Lopers wagonette and
smashed it into toothpicks. The presidential
carriage lost wheel but the horses were un-
injured. They were caught after short chase.
Another carriage and pair were hastily pro-
cured. and when Mrs. Harrison and her party
came out from the entertainment she was con-
veyed to her home before she became aware Of
the accident.

Lake and eyed the bellies and buds with a field
glass.
Il know Just what I'm talking about" he
continued. There is no protection for the
eyes under those rick-rack straw hats and the
gauze-covered parasols are as good as tissue
paper. If you will take the trouble to observe
you will find that all the fashionably dressed
women on the beach have to squint like sailor,
to sec where they are going.
Now, that makes wrinkles gather around the
eyes across the nose and forehead and FIRE
quently about the lips. They don't como in
pairs. but in companies, and, what is worse
they come to stay.
ITO save your life You can't get them away
but with q good shade for the eyes, either from
