THE MAN KILLER.
New Story About Wyatt

carp.
The conversation turned on KILLERS
and other bad men, at an uptown
club the other day, and a resurrected
San Diegan perpetrated this truthful
tale, says the San Francisco News Let
ter:
Among the "killers" at San Diego
during the boom, was Wyatt carp, of
the notorious carp brothers, known as
'gun-fghters" and men slayers from
"way back" So we'll established was
his reputation as quick pistol puller
and dead shot, that the minor toughs
kotowed to him, and frequently allowed
disputes to be settled by his arbitration.
If a shooting match were on, both men
to it were held off by their
friends until carp had invest-
gated the matter, and his decision
was final. Bob Cahill ran 'bank" at
San Diego in those days. The limit was
$25. A man named Kelly was regular
player. One night he was in good luck,
and began forcing the game. Several
times he placed $50 on a card, notwith-
standing Cahill's protest. Finally Bob
told him that he would have to stay
with the limit or quit the game, as he
did not intend to have any one come in
his own bank and break him. Kelly
bet $50 again, and his card won.
II told you not to top the limit" said
Cahill, as he pushed him $25; that's
all you get"
fifty?" Kelly asked, sullenly.
''No, sir" said Cahill; II told you
several times to stay with the limit" Z
"Well, guess you better pay me, ]"
said Kelly. and he dropped his right
hand for his gun.
swell, l guess not" said Cahill, who
also reached for his revolver. Immedi-
ately the other players fed, and in a
minute there would have been fusil-
lade, if Joe Bell. a friend of Kelly, had
not caught him by the arms and hustled
him into another room. Cahill was also
taken away. Then the friends of both
men, instead of summoning the police
or the sheriff, sent for Wyatt carp to
get the benefit of his experience in the
matter. carp, it was conceded, knew
more about the ethics of man killing
than any other man in San Diego.
He came and listened to explanations.
Then he saw Kelly and said, "You want
to kill Bob, eh ?"
''That's right, Wyatt" said the gam
bier.
Cahill was next interviewed by the
boss manslayer.
"You want to kill Kelly, do you p"
said carp.
"Well, want to prevent him killing
me. WYATT" said the dealer.
carp then returned to the gambling
room and weighed the testimony, the
gamblers waiting in respectful. silence
for his decision. Both disputants were
summoned by his orders, and then
stepping over to Kelly, carp said /:
kelly. I've heard all the testimony in
this case, and from all the evidence, l
don't think you've got no kill a-coming.' y
"All right, Wyatt, that settles it; let's
all take drink" said Kelly. He and
Cahill shook hands, and everybody
drank; then there was round on the
house, and Kelly and Cahill resuming
their seats at the faro table, the game
went on.

SILVER COINAGE.
Senator Stewards Letter to the FL
Paso Convention.

Senator Stewards Letter to the FL
Paso Convention.
At the recent convention of the advo-
Gates of silver held at Ell Paso, letter
from VIM. M. Stewart was read, from
which the followieg extracts are taken !:
The friends of free silver are uanani-
nous in their desire for the free coinage
of silver equally with gold. Anything
short of that leaves silver commodity,
subject to the caprice of speculators.
The gold advocates since the adjourn
ment of the last congress have made q
vigorous effort to defeat the free coinage
party, by suggesting that it would be
American product than for free and un-
limited coinage, have made diligent in
quiry and find that free and unlimited
coinage will secure the votes OF all mem
bers of the two houses who believe in
honest money. 1 know of but one sem
ator who would vote for the American
product who would not vote for free
coinage; and also know that there is a
majority in the senate who will vote for
free and unlimited coinage who would
not vote for free coinage of the American
product. l am satisfied that free coinage
of the American product would get few,
if any, votes in the house.
The charge against the silver miners
is that they desire to sell their bullion
for more than it's market price. Under
free coinage the miner would not re-
ceive more than the market price for
his bullion, because if 4l21s grains of
standard silver could be exchanged at
the mint for dollar, the market price
of that amount of silver would be fixed
at a dollar. No one would sell silver for
less price than he could obtain at the
mint.
The only way to bring silver back to
par is to rehabilitate it with all the
privileges which it formerly possessed,
and to coin it on the same terms and
conditions which pertain to the coinage
of gold.
1 earnestly hope that your convention
will pass resolution urging congress to
enact law restoring silver to the place
which it occupied previous to the pas
sage of the mint act of 1873. Such a
resolution would be opportune, and give
aid and comfort to those engaged in the
great contest between the parasites who
absorb wealth and those who are en-
gagged in the production of property.
Yours very truly,
VIM, M. STEWART.

GENT OF THINGS UNKNOWN.
The Veil to Be Drawn Sunday Night at
the Los Angeles Theater.

The Veil to Be Drawn Sunday Night at
the Los Angeles Theater.
Tomorrow Sunday. January Sd, at the
Los Angeles theater, DIR. Cooke and other
noted mediums will give seance for the
purpose of demonstrating spirit power in
the full gas light. DIR. Cooke is a myste-
rious being who has mystifed the world
by his superhuman powers. He appar
emily defes all laws, natural and spirit
ual, and produces such unbounded evil
dence as to convince either the believer
or unbeliever. The clergy, the press,
learned synods and counsels, sage, phil
osophers and scientists, and in fact the
world have proclaimed the philosophical
idealisms to be an astonishing fact. The
manifestations which take place in his
presence have been submitted to the
cold, bright steel of scientific minds, who
experience nothing but facts. There is
not member among them but who says
that in the presence of DR.. Cooke there
is wonderful intelligence outside of the
physical body which can annihilate
space. But what that power is there is
diversity of opinion. Some believe it
is the spirit of the dead-a night of
wonderful manifestations. The veil is
drawn so that all may have an insight
into the spirit world and see many
things that are strange and startling.
Scientific men and great men have be-
lieved there was grain ct essential
truth in the claims OF spiritualism. 1t
was believed more on account OF the
want of power to deny it than anything
else. The idea that under some strained
and underlined possibilities the spirit of
mortal man may communicate with the
spirit of the departed man is something
that the great heart of humanity is prone
to believe, as it has faith in future exist
ence. DR.. Cooke will fully demonstrate
the various methods employed by such
renowned spirit mediums as DR.. Foster,
Mrs. Hoffman, Professor Taylor, Charles
Slade, Richard Bishop, DR.. Arnold and
others, in plain open light, and every
possible means will be used to enlighten
the audience. A small admission will be
charged

GALATIANS JAG.
He Gets into Trouble With a Train
Butcher.

Butcher.
A trackwalker on the Southern Pa
cific, named Callahan, who operates be-
tween Indio and Seven Palms. is con-
fined in the Banning livery stable on a
serious charge. Callahan rides a BIZ
cycle from Seven Palms to Indio every
day, and comes back on the overland.
Monday when he boarded the train it
was evident that he had been toying
with the double-distilled lightning
liquor for which Indio is noted, and was
more or less under the influence. Once
on the train, he grew blooded and
bought the best cigar Thornburg, the
news butcher, had, and lighting it, pro-
ceeded to enjoy himself Thornburg in
timated mildly that the cigar was worth
Is cents, and he would like to have the
money; but Callahan said he never
paid for cigars. Thereupon the
butcher made some remark
about the various WAYS to
''bum" cigar and walked away.
Presently Callahan came up to him and
said he did not propose to be called
"bum," at the same time drawinga Elk
shooter. Thornburg talked him out of
his murderous designs, and Callahan,
probably realizing that he had made a
bad break, jumped off the train. Mr..
Curtis, the vigilant conductor, saw him
get off, and thinking he had fallen, rang
the bell and backed up the train. When
the train got back to where the man
was standing, Curtis inquired if he was
hurt. Callahan said, "Well. wonder
if am hurt!" and jerking out his pistol
drew bead on the conductor. A pas
senger says that for fat man Curtis did
some OF the liveliest moving he ever
saw. He turned back handspring,
alighting in the middle of the smoker,
and then ran through until he struck
the end of the baggage car with such
force that he cracked three of the
boards. Curtis denies this, but he says
that he didn't see anything more OF
Callahan after the pistol was drawn.
When the train got to Beaumont the
matter was reported and an officer went
down on No. 10 and brought Callahan
back. He will be examined before
Justice Morris today on a charge of
assault with deadly weapon.

RELICS OF A ev-ooHe AGE.

The ssed ad Great Lake Pound in a To-
ledo Excavation.
The excBvations for the foundation of
the National Union building on Huron
street near Adams, Toledo, bring to
Light the relics of by-gone age, and
furnish plenty of food for study and
contemplation on the part of the geolo-
gist. To commence with. this is the
deepest foundation ever put under
building IN the city. The practice here
tofore has been to level the earth off
enough to make good basement and
then drive piling for the foundation
stones TO rest upon. In the case of tho
National Union building it was deter
mined to have no pile foundation but to
dig down into the bowels of the earth
until terra frma was found William
Spear received the contract for putting
down the foundation and started q
large force of men at work o few days
ago on the excavation When tho
shovelers got down about eighteen feet
below the level Of the street, on about
nine feet below the surface of the nat
.ural eayth, they struck vein Of sand
It was found necessary TO put cribbing
in to keep the sand from rushing in.
After digging few inches deeper 1t
was found that it was genuine lake
of river sand and gravel As it was
thrown ont and carefully examined, it
contained traces of an age of vegeta-
ton. anterior to the days of the landing
Of Columbus Large walnuts. butter
nuts, hickory nuts, shells and impress
sious OF water species of various kinds
were found in the sand, also trees and
vegetable remains
Hundreds of people saw the strange
and mysterious things hidden for centu-
ries few feet below the surface. The
opinion of all present, according to the
Blade. WIS that old Lake Erie at one
time rolled and tossed In all its gran
deur and fury over the very spot where
an immense temple is about TO be
erected as a monument of charity to
the widows and orphans. The sand Is
purely lake sand and gravel and every
one who has made any study OF the
strata of the earth claims that large
river or lake at one time existed over
the very spot where the foundation is
being put down. The indications are
that the body of water was not river,
for the sand is too deep and compact.
