Representative Wilson says he will make
a speech upon the fortification OF Puget
sound if opportunity offers.
What TO do with the naval vessels, now
that the Chilean excitement has died out,
is question that is agitating Secretary
Tracy's mind. The department will not
be in any hurry to withdraw Acting Rear
Admiral Walkers squadron from Monte
video, or the Boston and Yorktown from
the Southern Pacific, but a redistribution
of the ships, and some changes in naval
commands may soon be looked for.
1t is not unlikely that advantage may be
taken of the presence of the unusually
large number of vessels in both the Pacific
and South Atlantic stations to carry out
the long-contempiated project of dividing
the Pacific station into two separate com
mands, one TO be known as the North Pa

A Nove1-Reading Boy Shoots Neigh
Dor From q Hiding-Place.

DAVENPORT, Feb. Especial. The fol-
lowing particulars of murder, attempted
by 12-year-old boy near Mondovi last
Friday, have just reached this city. 1t
seems that last summer some one broke
into and ransacked the residence of ID. NJ.
Burge, tenant on the Brickell ranch, se-
curing some money and other yaluables
belonging to the family, and a watch be-
longing to Al Briggs, hired man. This
was traced to Herbert Shepperd, 12-year-
old boy, whose father owns an
adjoining ranch. Through this Mr..
Burge forbid the boy ever coming on
hls premises again. In the meantime Mr..
Burge had borrowed Winchester from
the Shepherds, which the boy called for
last Friday morning between the hours of
and O'Clock, stating that his father had
sent him for it. Not doubling the boys
story, gun was handed him, when he Sc
creted himself IN the barn to await
chance to get a shot at some of the family.
No one had occasion to go to the barn
during the day, and, as night was ap-
preaching, young Shepperd set up howl
to attract their attention. This brought
out Mr. Burge, who was Immediately shot
at by the boy. the ball taking effect in his
hip. Al Briggs. the hired man,
hearing the shot fired, rushed
to his employers assistance and
was also shot at three times, but escaped
injury. Late in the evening the women
folks saw Young Shepperd glide out of the
barn and start for his home. Arriving
there he met an older brother. who had
just returned from the woods with load
OF logs. Handing him the gun, he told
his brother that he would take care of the
horses if he (the brother) would take the
rifle into the house, fearing that he would
be questioned regarding the rifle by the
members of the family. He has, no
doubt, been pondering this deed over in
his mind for months, determined that
when the proper time arrived to have re-
venge on both of these men by killing
them on the spot.
He has been an ardent reader of lO-cent
literature. DR.. III. G. Whitney, of this
city, removed the ball from Mr.. Burgess
hip, and states that the wound is not
necessarily dangerous.

The whisky Trust Fight.

CHICAGO, Feb. ii. b. Greenhut has
offered TO retain the presidency of the
whisky trust This is positively stated by
certain directors no are here to attend to-
morrow's meeting. They further state
that the offer has not been accepted, but
this fact does not mean that harmony has
been restored. On the contrary, there is
every iH&ication of stormy meeting.
The opponents of Greenhut declare that
they own - per cent. Of the stock,
and that there is no reason except
baseless bear moven. cnts Why there should
be any decrease OF copkleace on the part
of stockholders of the company. They
say II was never more prosperous, its
profits being over $1,000 per day. The
talk OF prosecution as she government
they declare. is all nonsense and merely
part of a scheme 10 frignten stockholders
and allow the projectors 0i the plan TO buy
back in at a low price. Other directors
said tonight that unless vital con-
cessions were made tomorrow by the
men who confess they hold 20 per
cent. of the stock, not only Grcenhut, but
his friends, will Withdraw Ia that event
it would be fight betwceu the remnant
of the trust and the men who made it. 1t
IS said the president will demand tomor-
row, as a condition of retaining Office that
the price of spirits be further reduced and
that the trust shall purchase the three to
four million dollars worth OF propertie es
now leased by it and on which the leases
expire May /. Ii is urged by the Greenhut
party that the opposition, which loaded up
with stock as high as 81. is endeavoring
10 pnduly initiate prices and then
unload. The booming of stock, it is de-
clared, is vastly increasing outside compe-
tition by encouraging the building up of
new distilleries. The element described
as holding 20 per cent of the stock is said
10 be large spirit distributors i'm the East
with whom the management made an alli-
ance, giving them profitable rebates and
turning over to them TO purchase certain
limited blocks of stock. The dstrl-
butors, the Western men say, greatly ex-
ceeded the limit, and were buying
everything in sight, sending trust
stock skyward to fictitious values and
causing distilleries 10 spring up in all
directions. 1t was AT this state. it is
claimed, that the Western men began to
unload. and at an Auditorium meeting not
long ago each side accused the other of bad
faith. the Eastern men threatened first
to retire from Greenhut but, finding that
Intellectual, sought to induce him 10 give
them chance TO get ont without loss,
the means to be series of glowing state
ments of immense profits. Greenhut re-
fused, and the fight was continued

PORTLAND, Feb. Especial. .l-B. F.
Sherman has brought suit against the free
bridge commission OF Portland, to test the
validity of their appointment. The point
sought to be made is that the legislature
had no right to delegate the appointment
OF these commissioners to the judges of
the circuit court in MuItnomah. 1t should
have either appointed itself or left it to
the governor.
Mayor Mason was at his desk today,
looking not much the worse for his recent
almost fatal attack Of malignant sore
throat. During one entire day the strug-
gle against death was hard one, and his
physician was with him nearly all day.
When the mayor was enabled to breathe
with comparative ease the danger was
passed.

Bob. aged 26. wealthy Puyallup Indian,
died this morning from tine effects of a
blow with billiard cue, received Friday
night in the Arlington saloon billiard
room at Puyallup. Coroner Frank and a
deputy sheriff this afternoon started in
search of the murderer who is supposed
to be white man.
Friday night Bob. Chief Tommy Lane
and others played billiards in the Airing
ton saloon, and as result of some triiing
difference about points of play a white
man is said to have called the Indians
dirty siwashes." Bob resented the in
suit quickly and, as all had been drinking,
blows and more insulting epithets fol-
lowed. At this, it is said. the white man
secured billiard cue and struck Bob
terrific blow on the head, cracking his
skull. Bob fell UNCONSCIOUS to the floor
and was subsequently taken to his ranch,
three miles distant, in wagon. Blood
iowed freely from the ugly wound. The
reservation physician, DR.. Harriet, was
summoned and found a piece of Bob's
skull protruding through the scalp All
efforts TO rally him failed.
Lane can identity Bob's assailant. Be-
ginning at 10 a. m. tomorrow an inquest
will be held at the reservation school
house, when the remains of Bob will be
brought there for examination. The de-
ceased is son of the late Big Head Bob,
whose estate consists of l20 fertile acres of
Puyaliup bottom lands, much of which is
improved. The murdered mans half in
terest in this property will revert to his
relatives. Bob was, it is said, shortly to
