An Important Capture by Deput
Sheriffs at Stockton.

An Important Capture by Deputy
Sherifs at Stockton.
STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 22.-An import
ant capture of counterfeiters was made
here this afternoon by Deputy Sheriffs
Benjamin and Cassidy, and lot of
bogus $5 pieces were found in the pockets
of the prisoners. Counterfeit s. pieces
were passed here several days ago and
the officers have been on the lookout
for the men. Today the sherif's dep
uties. who were watching a man named
R. A. Msddux, saw him hand bogus
piece to q young man named j. A.
Scott, and they Immediately placed both
men under arrest. Maddux had in his
pockets $420 in counterfeit IS
pieces and the young man had
one piece. Maddux had only few
pieces of good silver coin. Notice OF
the arrest was wired to Secret Service
Officer Harris, and he will arrive to-
night. Maddux was formerly hotel
keeper at Upton, in Tulare county, and
when he came here last Monday he said
he was selling patent churn, but he
was working off bogus money, the
officers say. The counterfeit is not q
bad imitation of good money, but it is
light and has a poor ring. The milling
is good, but the face of the stuff looks off
color. The stuff would readily pass in
the hurry of business at the holiday
season.

official traditions. cit is quite

A MARVEL OF SURGERY.
HOW A NEW YORK DOCTOR SAVED
BOYS LIFE.
The Medical Profession Stirred Up by n
Remarkable Surgical Operation
Performed by DIR. AL
bert Skunk.

4 New YORK, Dec. 22.-The medical
profession is much stirred, 30 far as it ia
yet familiar with the details of the case.
by q story of remarkable surgical
operation performed few days ago by
Dr.. Albert Skunk Of this city. James
McCaughey, aged IL, was suffering from
appendicitis, or, as it is vulgarly called,
inflammation of the blind gut. The
trouble was caused by some foreign
substance entering the vermiform ap-
pendix. The doctor, when called, found
the patient in a bad way and recon-
mended an operation, diagnosis show
ing that an abcess was formingaround
the vermiform appendix. The parents
delayed the operation until the arrival
OF relatives who had been summoned,
When finally ready for the operation,
the doctor discovered that the abcess
had just broken and that the pus
was flooding the abdominal cavity.
In this crisis it seemed clear
that the boy was dying. The
doctor told the relatives that it
was barely possible that an oper-
alton might save him, but the chances
were many times against it. They in
sisted on his proceeding. The patient
was anaesthetized, and as soon as an
opening was made in the abdomen there
was plenteous flow of pus. At almost
the same moment the pulse ceased to
beat, the heart stopped. and there was
every evidence of most complete COL
lapse that betokened the presence of
death. The doctor instantly enlarged
the incision, and, holding it open with
one hand, poured with the other the
contents of a pitcher of hot water in the
abdominal cavity. In few minutes
there was renewal OF heart action,
and aided by hypodermic injections, the
boy slowly returned to life. The foreign
substance was quickly located and re-
moved. The operation was completed,
and the boy is now on the road to re-
coVery.

PARIS, Dec. 22.-At last there is clue

thought he possessed all the facts about

men, with the purpose Of involving

cal enemies. The real story OF corrup-

A CHANCE FOR HUNTINGDON.
The English Syndicate Abandoning

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-The Chron-
lcle this morning had the following: 1t
is learned from London sources that the
English syndicate which has been oper-
ating in the northern half of Lower
California and of which Sir Edward
Jenkinson, X. @. B is president. has
given up the effort to develop that
country and will forfeit its concession.
When the English syndicate took hold
OF matters below the line it promised to
build railroad from San Qnintin to
Yuma, with branch to San Diego. 1t
also laid plans for an irrigation system
pack OF San Quintin. covering the great
mega which extends over 40 miles east
ward to the coast range. AS the
territorial concession, which COW

limitation of the time in which to build
the railroad, the decision of the English
syndicate to leave the field means that

ON THE FIELD OF HONOR
CLEMENCEAU AND DE ROULEDE
FIGHT A BLOODLESs DUEL.
The Arbitrator in the Affair Would Not
Let Them Back Out-Honor Sat-
isfied After Three Shots
Each Were Fired.

PARIS, Dec. Z2.-Gen. Felix Gustav
Saussier, military governor of Paris, and
veteran of the service in Crimea, Italy,
Mexico and Africa, refused to act as ar
hitrator between De Roulede and Glenn
enceau. The idea of arbitration is every
where ridiculed as an evidence of COW
ardice on the part of De Roulede. who
suggested it, and Saussier himself is said
to have uttered very emphatic remark,
which showed his view of the case. and
put stop to any idea OF using tie old
soldier as a buffer to prevent collision.
Upon Saussier declining to have any
thing to do with the affair, Des Laudes
was appealed to, and at once proceeded
to arbitrate in way to bring things
to climax. He decided that
De Roulede and Clemenceau should
have an opportunity to take six
shots at each other. The propo-
sition to come as near as FIVE
PAGES he considered too murderous
and altogether contrary to the traditions
of French dueling. He held that the
combatants should be placed 25 PAGES
apart, with the privilege of advancing
three steps during the firing, the one
that happened to be perforated first to
have the opportunity of stating, if able,
whether his honor was sufficiently satis
fed; if not, then the firing to continue
until the Shots or the combatants were
exhausted.
Although not made an open stipula-
tion in the programme, it was under
stood that Clemenceau was not to get
out an extra of La Justice announcing
the result until the other newspapers
were notified, and De Roulede to have
the privilege of having camera and re-
porter on the spot to take snap shots,
provided Clemenceau chose to do 90; in
the event OF fatal result, the dying
words to be faithfully reported.
Both combatants bade an affectionate
farewell to their weeping friends before
departing for the bloody field of honor
and distributed locks of their hair to
sorrowing admirers.
Arrived at the dueling ground, 25
PAGES were measured off and the surgeon
prepared his instruments for immediats
use. The antagonists appeared pale but
resolute. They faced each other and
received the weapons from the hands of
their seconds.
At the word "fire" both pistols were
discharged simultaneously. The bull
let's flew wide of their marx. The spec
tators hastily slid down from the adj
joining fence and the seconds moved a
little further off before the second
round.
Again the weapon of death barked,
but didn't bite. Then friends rushed
forward and expressed the hope that
honor was satisfied, and that the muir
derous encounter would be closed.
Both, however, demanded another shot,
and the solicitious friends hastily re-
tired to distance.
Again the puffs Of white smoke and
sharp reverberation, the only result of
the third round.
The seconds then insisted that the
murderous work must end, and the
principals reluctantly accepted their de-
cision. The duelists were overwhelmed
with congratulations on their courage
and coolness.

STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.
A Police Scandal of Gigantic Proper
tiOns at Superior, Wis.

A Police Scandal of Gigantic Propor-
tions at Superior, Wis.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 22.-The
discharge of Captain McRea of the Su-
perior police force has led to startling
developments. The details of the story
have not yet been obtained, but there is
no doubt of its Importance. For some
time the United States government has
been in active pursuit of the largest
and most daring gang of counterfeiters
known in the past 20 years. For the
past few weeks silver dollars and half
dollars, well executed, have been foated
in immense quantities. Thirty secret
service officers have been employed on
the case. No arrests have vet been
made but they are. expected. Among
the men said to be involved is one OF
Superiors's prominent Business men.
Chief of Police McRea was suspended,
it is said, for indiscreet use of his
knowledge Of the above affair, and po-
lice scandal of big proportions is
promised.
