whats the matter with that duck Jack
Rice for Assemblyman from the Forty.
third? or course he amt much of talker,
and he don't know nothing about making
laws, but he is willing to stand in. See?
And then it was decided to put Rice on the
ticket.
Rice is a man with reputation. He Is
one OF the most notorious barroom brawlers
in the city, and time without number has
been mixed up in free fights in public bars.
A year ago he became involved in dis
pute with wel-known doctor in this city,
and the result was that they adjourned to a
cellar from the barr0om in which the row
occurred and regular battle was fought.
1t was regular Marquis of Queens berry
set-to, only that gloves were dispensed with
and bare knuckIes substituted.
The result was that Rice was knocked out
In few rounds, and his friends were COM
PEELED TO carry him away to patch up his
injuries.
The most unfortunate part of it all, so
lar as Rice is concerned, was that 1t kept
him off Market street for several days.
This was blow of the worst character,
for Rice is quite a handsome young man
and likes TO show himself on the street. He
is often seen about the entrances TO the
theaters on matinee days, and has a reputa-
ti0n as masher.
In fact, he is known about 16 Third street
rs the ladies' man, and he prdes himself on
that fact.
There is probably nothing really vicious
about Mr.. Rice. and his unfortunate connee-
ton with barrOom rows is due largely to an
overheated brain after numerous confer-
ences with the bartender.

RICE AS A PUGlLIST.
Another of Boss Kelly's Pet
Assemblymen.
AN OLD BARROOM BRAWLER.
He Fought to Finish in a Cellar and Was
Knocked Out by a Doctor in
Short Order

When Martin Kelly and Philip Crimmins,
the two obnoxious bosses of Third street,
took upon themselves the impossible con-
tract OF sending Mike de Young TO Wash
ington to misrepresent the State of Calfor-
mia In the United States Senate. they picked
out about as rotten lot of candidates for
the Legislature MS could have been found IN
the city of San Francisco.
The list of ward-heeers and suffers who
do their dirty work was gone over carefully,
and in nearly every instance where man
could be found who was particularly OBJ
noXl0us to the PEOPLE he was selected. In
TINS way they managed TO pick up about as
DAD crew as could be gathered together.
30 bad was the entire lot that 1t became
open rumor Tor time that they had been
selected to be beaten, and that The bosses
were merely carrying out wel-laid plan
to turn the Legislature over to the Demo-
Gratis.
= In making out their ticket. after selecting
such names as those of Craven, Van
Setback and Jack" Martin for the Sem
ators, they went ON down to the Assembly
men, and when the Forty-thlrd District
was reached Kelly went into the back room
OF his saloon and looked around.
One OF the first men he saw was John +.
Rlce. who draws a salary from the County
CLERK Office IN rayment for work at the
primaries, and who. at the time in question,
was sitting with his feet upon the card
table absorbed in the mental task OF tracing
out the hgures on the paper on the ceiling.
When Kelly caught sight of Rice he went
back at once to the dingy little back room
to say TO Phil that he had found the man.
"Say, Phil" was Kelly's first remark.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

Ell PAso, Tex, Oct. 27.-Tne news Of the
humiliation Of the Temochians, people
who inh&bt the village of Temoehic and
who are nearly pure Aztecs, received here
last evening, is more circumstantial than
first Indicated. Temochic is situated on
the direct road TO Guerrero and Jesus
Maria. in the mountains of Southeastern
chihuahua, Mexico and the inhabitants
have been in open rebellion against the
State and Federal Governments for more
than year on account Of excessive taxation
and extortion by the Government officials
and Government interference in their religi-
GUS belief.
F. Two months ago the Government sent the
One Hundred and Tenth Battalion, in COM
mand Of General Ranjel. to make the peo-
pie pay the tax required and accept the
Government officials appointed to take
charge or kill every one Of them. This al
tentative was openly boosted of by the
officers ia Chihuahua before the troops
started for the town. and when the Temo-
chians heard Of it they decided to fight il
out. as they knew even should they receive
the soldiers peaeeably they would be shot
Oh the slightest prOVocaton.
When the soldiers made a descent on the
village they were met and driven off. with
several officers and fourteen men killed and
Two officers and forty men taken prisoners.
The prisoners we're confined on the top of
an adobe church. General Ranjel was the
only officer who escaped.
When the news OF this affair reached the
ears OF President Diaz he decided to an

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Oct 27-Rev. T.
r. Young Methodist missionary In the
north Tor many years. states that he was
sent for by an agel dying Indian some time
ago, who confessed that he accompanied one
Of the Sir John Franklin relief expeditions

low. and there was danger Of starvation.
Before deciding to return the commander
sent this Indian and another across An is
land TO look on the other side. They
crossed and discovered in the distance three
masts rising out Of the ice. They were
nearly exhausted, and knowing il they told
the commander Of their discovery he would
go to the place, they decided 1t would be
better not to tell him, for they feared the
starvation of the entire party In the event

Gently Died
LONDON, Oct. 27.-By the death OF Harry
Vane MilbaDk, the eldest son of Sir Fred
erck Acclom Milbank, tie succession of
the bRronetcy falls to Powlott Milbank, the
second son. He does not resemble his dead
brother IN any way. AS evidence of this,
PowlOtt has agreed 10 contest the Parlia-
mentary district of Radnor in the Conser-
vative interest at the next election. Harry
Milbank had no liking for any occupation
that would take him for a single moment
from what he called the pleasures OF life.
His death has recalled many stories of his
career as an amOrist and duelist. He hid
from the public the knowledge of his early
association with the notorious Mabel Gray,
and never said much about his marriage TO
Alice, the widow of Edward BeIlerOche.

his famous duels with the husband of the

OF whom fell victims to his deadly weapon.

LONDON, Oct 27.-The difference between
the two sections Of the Irish Parliamentary
party over the Paris fund is at last on the
verge of settlement This fund was mostly
contributed by Irishmen In the United
States and Australia in 1885 to defray the
expenses of the Irish members of Parlia-
ment fighting for home rule. In 1856 part
OF the fund not Immediately required was
deposited in Paris with Munroe & Co.,
bankers, in the names Of Biggar, Parnell
and Mccarthy. as trustees. After the split
occurred in the Irish Parliamentary party,
and after the deaths of Parnell and Biggar,
fight arose over the ownership of the fund,
