HE WANTED TOLL.
And Shot Sheep-Herder Because
1t Was Not Given.

Los ANGELES, June 25.-A shooting af-
fray took place this morningnear Ravenna
in the northern part of this county. The
facts as near as can be ascertained are
these. A man named Hamilton has taken
up quarter section near there, and is
living in a cabin for the purpose of ac-
quiring title to q homestead. A public
road runs through his land. Two Basque
sheep-herders. named Joseph CamOu and
Bernard Gauchou. were driving flock of
sheep in that direction and were about to
to pass over the road which bisects Hamil-
toms claim when he came out and told
them that they could not proceed unless
they paid him So for privileges of crossing
his land, claiming that he had received
that amount from another man a short
time previously.
Only one of the herders could talk
English, and he but slightly. He told
Hamilton that the road belonged to
the county and was free TO all, where
fore they refused to pay toll. The men
then began 10 drive the sheep along the
road, when Hamilton drew a revolver and
fred half dozen shots. two of which took
effect on CamOu, wOunding him danger
ousy and perhaps fatally. Hamilton then
turned and fled to the mountains. The
wounded man was placed on a passenger
train and brought to this city.

careful ca alculation of what he will prob
ably save by canceling passes places the

$500 year, not enough to keep the aver
age millionaire in cigars.
Truly, Mr.. Huntington is conupdrum.

"PASSES DON'T co.
No More Free Rides on Market
Street Cars.
Must Ride in Coupes or Else Walk.
Tailymen at the Ferries Count
ing the Passengers.

For reasons best known to themselves,
and which they refuse to divuge, the
managers of the Market-street cable sys-
tenn have cancelled all passes over their
lines. and even the politicians are walking
in consequence.
The Market-street line never was very
liberal with its passes. but occasionally it
was required that some one of Influence"
be presented with a little cardboard.
known in railroad parlance as an annual
pass.
Irshas even been rumored that President
Crocker and Superinten dent WilIcntt will
ride in coupe hereafter, but Mr. Willcutt
Indignantly denies this allegation. How
ever, officials OF the Market-street line
who are not way up at the top Of the
Southern Pacific's ladder will have to dig
way down and produce nickel when
they ride on the Market-street cars. as
also will all conductors when off duty.
This astounding stand taken by Hun
tington, who believes in taking care of the
cents and letting the dollars take care of
themselves, at first led people to suppose
that the Market-street Cable Company had
made failure of its investment and was
trying to take fall out OF its free list to
enable it to get even.
An investigation OF the business done by
the Market-street system revealed the fact
that the road pays nearly per cent month
on actual capital invested. watered valua-
tion not taken into consideration. This state
ment comes from an apparently reliable
source.
The cars of the corporation do an i'm
mense business. They are filled from
morning till night and there is no doubt
that the Southern Pacific is reaping a
large reward from this part of its invested
capital. The cancellation of passes there
tore must have been instigated by desire
on the part of Mr.. Huntington 10 get all
the nickels he possibly can, seeing that the
people of San francisco are rapidly oust-
ing him out Of some of his choicest bits Of
monopoly pie.
Huntington recently issued orders that
no more passes be issued at Fourth and
Townsend streets to employees. He wanted
to make good job of his pass-canceling
work. so ordered the streetcar 'annuala"
called in also.

cial session this autu mn said:
The appeal of the Sherman act and
the reform of the tariff are the two great
subjects with which we will have to deal.
The numerical strength of the free silver
vote is uncertain; bat this is certain. that
many members will oppose the appeal un-
less something nearer to free coinage is
offered.
when the tariff debate springs up
every protected industry in the country
will have a representative on the floor.
with the opposition so strong it will be
absolutely necessary to modify the rules,
else nothing can be done. 1t is as nearly
certain as anything can be that quite

the conference of the party leaders.
Last winter the committee on rules for

The rule declares that after the report of

direct and strong method of closure as
can be devised. and l have little doubt oil
It's adoption. BY this course the conduct
of the business Of the House will be placed
entirely in the hands OF the majority.
With regard to the sentiment of the South
