of four. But when he was taken away,
not only did the family lose his COM
paaionship but their means of sustenance.
In fact his death left them without money
and but for the charitably inclined they
would be in absolute want.
The call made by the PosT-INrFLLI-
eENcER for money for the relief of the
family met with variety of responses.
First, ten children, who gave their names
as Dick, Sam, Eddie, Varian, Monroe,
Carl, Ed, Willie, Ralph and Lulu. left
IS. 80, sum they had saved up for ''pin
money" Then Harold Samson, a news
boy who may some day be governor of
Washington, called and deposited half a
dollar for the family. The employees of
the W. T. chop house sent the sum of So,
and various other sums from modest per-
sons who signed their names cash" were
received. The Posr-INTELLIGENcER inyes-
tigated the case before a call for money
was made, and has shown its confidence in
the worthiness of the family by heading
the list with subscription of S25.
Several persons have promised to con-
tribute to the fund and they will probably
do so today P. E. Fisher, druggist in
business on Howell street, near the corner
of Ninth, says that he will furnish 81
worth of drugs at any time. The total
amount of money received by the Posi-
INrELLIGENCER is as follows:

THRASHED HER HUSBAND.
An Irate Woman Takes Vengeance O
Him with Her ParasoI.


A few minutes before the steamer Bailey
Gatzert arrived from Tacoma last evening
at $50 o'clock. a good-looking young
woman made her appearance on CONNER
ciai dock. She walked up and down the
dock nervously; there was wild look in
her eye, and every few seconds she would
bring her parasol down with thud that
BODIED no good for the object of her wrath.
When the steamer hove in sight her agita-
ton increased, and when the steamer
finally touched at the landing her anger
had reached such a pitch that her face was
aglow with color.
Presently dapper young fellow with a
grey suit of clothes came tripping lightly
down the gang plank. The moment he
reached the dock the woman swung her
parasol and caught him squarely behind
the ear with such force as to almost knock
him down. The fellow started to run but
the irate female caught him by the coat
tails and held him.
What do you mean by running away
from me- your wife-for another woman ?"
she demanded and then cuffed him
soundly with her hands.
A crowd gathered around and Police
man Kelley stopped further fighting. The
couple marched away, the woman still
holding TO the coat tails to guard against a
break for liberty. On Second street. near
Madison, the fellow did manage to break
away, however, and he soon disappeared
down an alley as fast as his legs could
carry him.
The woman's name is Mrs. Crook and
her husband is said TO be waiter.

BIG LAND CONTEST ENDED.
Decision Involving u $4,000 Claim q
South Bend.

South Bend.
T. C. Calhoun has returned from Van
couver, Washington, where he has been
for several days looking after his interests
in the famous Austin-De Goat land con-
test. A decision has been received at Van
couver from the commissioner of the
general land Office in favor of De Goat.
The cose involved 160 acres of land valued
at $24 900. "In October, 1889, G. c. De Goat
proved up on timber claim, In Pacific
county, near where the town of South
Bend Is now situated" said Mr.. Calhoun
yesterday. 1.-The proof of the claim was
accepted by Winfield Scott Austin, Demo-
cratic register of the land office, and
the same afternoon Austin went out of
Office at o'clock and turned his office
over to Republican successor. AS soon
as the land office was opened the following
morning Austin appeared and filed con-
test against the proof which De Goat had
made the day before. About this time I
purchased an interest in the land and later
De Goat and I sold the claim to South
Bend parties for $24,0O We fought the
case and, inasmuch as Austin was not
present to push his claim, the contest was
decided in our favor"

cabin. Moulton sat At one corner of the
table and negro named Lee Brendt at an
other. When Moulton laid 81 on the

over the money. In consequence quarrel
arose between the two men.
Moulton had evidently come to the

big navy revolver and belt full of cart
ridges strapped TO his waist. After the
disputants had cursed each other for few
minutes he whipped out his pistol just as
Rrendt drew knife. Moulton at once be-
Gan firing and the first shot smashed the
