CHRIS EVANS ON TRIAL.
Victor Wilson's Death to Be
Avenged.
A Strong Feeling for and Against
Him Makes it Difficult to
Get a Jury.


By the Associated Press.
FRESNO, Noy. 20.-The case of the
People against Christopher Evans for
the murder of Victor Wilson, was call
ed at 10 O'Clock this morning before
Judge II. K. Harris. The prosecution
announced themselves ready for trial
but the defense were not ready and
asked for continuance till next Friday.
Judge Harris denied the motion for con-
tinuance since the case has been set for
trial for sixty days and he would not
give further time.
The work of examining jurors then
proceeded. Up to the hour of adjourn
ment seven were examined, one being
passed. All but this one said they had
made up their minds for or against the
defense. They had read newspaper re-
ports and testimony could not change
their opinion. One juror, VIM. Main,
said he had come to decision in favor
of Evans. But few questions were
asked by the defendants attorney and
these gave no indication what the de-
fense would be.
The crime for which Evans is now on
trial is the murder of Victor Wilson at
Young's cabin, Sept. IL, 1892. There
are three charges against him, all by
indictments found by the grand jury in
September 1898. There is an indict-
ment for the murder of Wilson, one for
the murder of McGinnis and for the
Coils train robbery. The trial at
present is for the murder of Wilson.
1t is in substance as the murder of Nc
Ginnis and the same testimony will ap-
ply to both cases. Victor Wilson was
deputy United States marshal from
Arizona and was in charge OF posse of
nine persons who pursued Evans and
Sontag to Sampson Flat early in Sept

A Danish Sailor Writes Gov

He Wants to Make Connections
With the Governors Proposed
Interstate Railroad.


Dy Iue ASSOCldLSu IIeeS.
Topeka, Kas., Nov. 20.-Governor
Lewelling received letter this morn
ing from Alfred Christensen of Copen-
hagen stating he had read with interest
of the gulf transportation project under
consideration in the United States. He
is already working on such line of
steamers. The only thing in the way
of carrying out the project has been an
uncertainty of getting west bound car
goes, but he proposes to overcome this
by including the Mexican ports of Min
atitlan, Vera Cruz and Tampico and by
rail communication with the Pacific
ocean ports of California, Oregon and
Washington.
A trial voyage will be undertaken
in January. A steamer starting
from Copenhagen, touching at ports
in Holland, Belgium and France,
thence going to West Indian and Mexi-
can ports and making return trip by
the way of Galveston and New Orleans.
Christensen expects to have the aid OF
two strong banking institutions of Co.
penhagen and has ordered one steamer
which will be called the Urania, 1000
ton burden and will cost about $4,000.
Two others projected will cost about
$125,000. They will be sailed under the
Danish flag. Christensen intends to
start limited capital company in Den
mark. 1t is his desire if possible tc
have some stock taken in America.

Stevens Comment.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 2O.-A reporter
OF the Kennebec Journal called on ex-
minister to Hawaii, Stevens, at his resi-
dence here this evening regarding Com
missioner Blount's report. Stevens
said he firmly adhered to all his pre-
vious statements. He expressed great
surprise at the language of Blount as to
Stevens unwillingness to show him the
records of the legation. Stevens says
he feels himself at liberty to expose
Blount's remarkable conduct towards
himself commencing Immediately after
Blount's arrivalin Honolulu. A record.
Stevens says, the publication of which
will astonish all honorable minds,
bringing to Stevens no censure unless
it be that he tolerated such insulting
treatment without at once resenting it
by refusing all intercourse with the Of
tending person. Stevens two weeks
ago made an imperative engagement
out of the state which will occupy the
next two or three days. With reason
able promptness he will be heard in his
defense,

order received by the admiral COM
manding the British feet in the Pacific
that no British war ship should enter
the port of San Francisco save under
exceptional circumstances because of
the many desertions there, officials at
the admiralty say they place no cred
ence in the story. They say no orders
have been given the admiral not to al
low ships to call at San Francisco for
coal although he naturally could order
that his vessels should not enter port if
he deemed it necessary. The whole
story is believed to have been based
upon the fact that the war ship Royal
Arthur will not call at San Francisco.

SPOKANE BOOMERS.
A Reservation Opened in the Heart
of the City.


of the City.
SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 20.-When the
city awoke this morning it was con-
fronted by an extraordinary spectacle.
During the night 25O "boomers" had
rushed in and located lots on a tract
known as Shanty town owned by the
Northern Pacific railroad and situated
in the heart of the city, bordering right
upon the business district. This large
tract was long in dispute. Several
years ego it was jumped by squatters,
but three years ago the interior depart
ment decided against them and they
were ousted.
Recent decisions by the secretary ofthe
interior adverse to the railroad respect
ing its title started rumor that this
tract had reverted to the government
ani this led to a stampede for lots.
Daylight brought renewed activity and
before O'Clock at least 700 men had
staked out lots. Policemen caught the
infection and joined in the work of
grabbing. During the day Shanty
town was the scene of great activity
and hundreds of men stood guard over
their claims. Tonight bonfres dot the
the site. 1t is not believed the jumpers
will be able to retain possession.

Strangely enough, the graceful man
was so awkward that he dropped the

when he raised it her quick ear caught,
from lips that scarce moved, the hurried

"Inside pocket-warn him-danger-

With brain whirling from excitement
