Chris Evans Trial.

FRESNO, Cal, Nov. 2l.-The selection of jury for the trial of Chris Evans, on the charge of murdering Vic Wilson, was continued before Judge Harris this morning. It is notable that the defense is asking many apparently trivial and useless questions and the impression is they are trying for some reason to delay the work of getting jury. Not withstanding the lengthy examinations, six jurors were accepted today.
 At the close of the session the de- fendant's attorneys objected to Sheriff Scott's deputies having charge of the jury, on the ground that the sheriff is interested in the reward for the convic- tion of Evans. The objections were sustained and J. w. Smyth was ap- pointed by the court as a special officer. Altogether thirty-three jurors have been examined. The regular venire will probably be exhausted In the morning and a special issued.
 It is said the defense will object to Sheriff Scott or his deputies serving the summons for a special venire on the same ground as the objection heretofore mentioned was based.

Postmaster DeGroH.

It IS now Postmaster DeGroff. This morning MT. DeGroff's commission arrived. Coming as it did prior to the 1st of December the new official will take possession at the corner of Congress street and Stone avenue the 1st of December.
 A rather sweeping change of force will be made. Miss Emma Smith will be retained at the corner window as of old. The other familiar faces will be there no more. Anthony Coenen will be money order clerk and Burt Orndorff will assist in the registry and mailing departments. MT. DeGroff IS himself an old mail clerk and will keep himself busy at the new work.
 The new force will undoubtedly be a good one, politics excepted. Very much so too was the old one, politics included.

AVENGED A SEDUCTION
Killing of a California Telegraph
 Operator.
A Brother of the Wronged Girl Shoots Her Seducer- -Done
 in the Dark.

DAvIsvILLE, Cal, Nov. 22.-A mys- terious murder occurred here last night. H. M. Eaton, night telegraph operator, was shot and killed on the platform of the depot. After receiving the fatal wound Eaton crawled some distance, where he was discovered in a dying condition. He was unable to speak and there is no clew to the murderer. Indications are that he was shot while leaving the depot, by persons concealed on the platform.
 LATER-A CASE OF SEDUCTION.
 DAvIsvILLE, Cal, Nov. 22.-It trans pi-es that Charles Dodge is the slayer of Eaton. In an interview with Chris Olsen, a partner of Dodge, the following facts were elicited:
 Some moments before 10 o'clock last night Dodge requested Olsen to go with him to the depot as he wished to see Eaton in regard to the seduction of his sister. Dodge made no threats and showed no great agitation and together the two went to Eaton's office. This was at 10 o'clock p. m., or a few moments later.
 Dodge knocked on the door, which was opened by Eaton, but on discover ing who his visitor WAS he threw him. self upon Dodge, forcing him to the floor. The struggle lasted few minutes, Dodge finally getting his opponent under. The two then separated. As Eaton raised to his feet Dodge fired. Both Dodge and Olsen left while Eaton staggered across the street for assistance and died at the door of the Lilliard house.
 Mrs. LilIiard from her chamber over heard the rattling of the office or saloon door and afterwards a fall, but as such sounds were not unusual paid no atten- tion. It was not until some minutes later that Eaton was discovered, but he was then about dead and never spoke.
 Olsen is under arrest and Dodge has surrendered himself to the sheriff at Woodland. At present public sympathy is strong in favor of Dodge, whose sister is bright intelligent young lady and general favorite with those who know her. Dodge in his confession differs but little from the foregoing statement made by Olsen.
 It may be proper to add that Miss Dodge is at present lying at deaths door as the result of Eaton's crime, which If rumor may be credited carries with it consequences graver than generally occur in cases of seduction.

FINAL COUNTY NEWS.
Tribune.

James D. Thomas, having tired of official life at Yuma, has sent in his resignation as guard at the prison. He has gone into partnership ia the livery business in Florence with George Crandle.
 In the case Of Juana Walker against A. J. Doran, administrator, to have the bond and appeal set aside, Judge Rouse decided against Juana Walker and set the trial of the case for December 18th.
 Good Looking, the Apache Indian who murdered a squaw on the San Carlos reservation last summer, and who pleaded guilty, was sentenced, Friday morning, to ten years impris- onment. Sheriff Drais will start for Yuma with him this afternoon.
 From a resident of Mammoth who was in town this week, it is learned that It IS the general impression that the Mammoth company will soon com mence operations on a larger scale than ever. It is sincerely to be hoped that such is the case, for the opera tion of this mine is an important fact or in the prosperity of the eastern end of the county.
 T. F. Marquand, Francisco Montana and Mateo Romaro were brought ul before Judge Rouse this week on 8 charge of tampering with the gates oi | the Florence canal. As the defend ants did not understand that their ac tion was contempt of court, and as il was their first offense, Judge Rouse let them off with the light punishment of costs, but, in a strong lecture, eau tioned them not to again commit such an act.
 Ever since T. D. Hammond tool charge of the Florence canal it ha. been kept booming full of water. Al a consequence those places whIci were formerly forded are now almos past fordIng. The water at the Glob, crossing is so deep that it runs int, the vehicles and vets any baggag, that may be in them. The count, has a lot of bridge timber on hand and it would be good idea, as vel
 as convenience to the public, for tn
 board of supervisors to put a bridg
 across the canal at that point.

Salvationists Hold Forth.

The Salvation army held services yesterday and last night to good at- tendences. The SalvationIsts seem much in earnest with their work and expect to do good in Tucson. Their methods are not those of churches but they seem to draw we'll.
 They say they are not out proselytlng. They only expect to draw from those who do not attend the churches-the mavericks of the Tucson herd they are after. Certainly the unbranded are numerous enough here to give them all the material they could want.
 The three exhorters here speak with fair ability and sing very we'll.
 The opera house last night had good attendence. The collection was re- sponded to with the characteristic liberality of Tucson.

King Will go to Florence.

Frank King will leave tonight for Florence, where he will appear before Judge Rouse on writ of habeas corpus for his release. on the same grounds on which Dunbar, his chief, WAS released It is more than probable that King will be released. The judgments pronounc- ed on King and Dunbar were iden tical, except in number of days and dollars So Judge Rouse will probably release King also.
 MT. King wishes now he had gone at once before Judge Rouse.
 Judge Sloan sent tue release of King Saturday. but on the condition that attacks of the nature of the offense for which he was committed, through the Gazette, cease. MT. Dunbar refused to agree. Attorney General Heney, to whom the papers were sent, also dlsa- greed to the conditions, it is alleged.

1000 MEN FOR BISBEE.
An Increase from 300 to be Made
 There.
The Big Copper Plant to be More Than Doubled 56-Cent Dol
 lars in Nogales.

Bisbee is about to outdo herself on a big scale, Harshaw is still begging away and Nogales is not in such depths of business depression as might be ex- pected with ''adobes" at fifty-six cents, says Charles Hoff, just returned from a business tour of the southern part of the territory.
 One thousand men will soon be work ing at Bisbee, replacing the force of 300 now there. The plant, after the present methods of reduction, will be increased to the extent requiring 700 additional men, including the increased force of miners required.
 The change will be completed about the first of the year. A lay-off of fifteen days of all departments will be taken while the change is made. The ore is worked as fast as taken out. and will not be mined and dumped awaiting the new plant, so the miners will do nothing during the change.
 The increase of 700 men should fur nish employment for some of the silver miners of the territory whom the repeal bill has forced out of their mean Of livelihood.
 AT HARsHAw.
 The Hermosa mill at Harshaw was pounding out silver to the last minute of the life of the white metal. The day the repeal bill passed that day the mill stopped.
 The Trench property under Captain Burgess is at work. Regular shipments are being made.
 Richard Farrell IS working gang of men and making regular shipments.
 AT MORALES.
 Nogales draws great deal upon the | bounties of Mexico. When Mexico is | up Nogales prospers. When Mexican | dollars are quoted around the 56 figure trade drops in the degree corresponding with the drop in the dollars. Prices in | Nogales are all Mexican figures, and | accordingly goods are marked up to meet the depreciated value of the money. The trade, too slackens. With the change ln money wages have not chang ed. Therefore the laborer who comes to the town to spend his dayis earnings gets the worth of fitty-siX cents, instead | of eighty cents as of old. Practically the same number of dollars as before are spent. The difference in trade there fore IS that of fifty-six cents and eighty cents on each eighty cents.
 Still Nogales is not dull enough to encounter any failures. The merchants all are making living.
 Nogales has for some time had the privileges of self government. This has been deemed expensive, however, the way times were some time back and was withheld by the appointees of the board of supervisors.
 A city election has been called and will -ake place shortly, after which the town will enjoy all the privileges of incorpora 5ion.

AROUND CALABASAS.
Increased Fencing of the Range
 Winter Irrigation.

More fences have been put up in the vicinity of Calabasas by Colin Cameron, says George Atkinson, just in from there. The fence torn down, several miles in extent. has been rebuilt. In ad- dition, of two square miles, he estimates 1t, has been made. The total enclosure of the Calabasss grant he estimates at thirty square miles. That at San Rafael as as much more. This land he says is, as the general range stands, comparatively free of cattle. When feed becomes low on the ranges the San Rafael brands will be turned in.
 MT. Atkinson says the enclosures do not impede wagon travel, through they do crossing the range horseback.
 He is of the opinion that DO more fence cutting will be attempted.
 Mir. Atkinson says that the matter will be again brought to trial when the present court is changed.
 The rain of day or two ago around Calabasas amounted to sixty-fiye hundredths. It will do much to revive the failing water for winter irrigation.
 A good deal of farming is in progress around Calabasas.
