EFFICIENT woRK.--In Tuesdays issue
the Tacoma News says: Omitted States
Marshal James @. Drake has, during the
past few weeks, made the best record Of
any marshal Ia the west. He has arrest
ed more prisoners and secured more con-
victions than any marshal that ever held
Office In this or any other state. There
are 1000 Indians on the Yakima reserva-
ton, and 10 these redskins there are
always number Of men employed In
selling liquor. 1t is not so hard to secure
the arrest Of the culpgits. but to secure
their conviction Is another matter. When
the Indians are drunk they are menace
to the white farmers all through that sec
ton, and the danger to the seller cannot
be underestimated. In addition to this
danger OF life, the farmers are greatly in
jured in the gathering Of their crops.
Out OF 70 prisoners recently arrested by
Marshal Drake IS have been found guilty.
four are on trial and only one has been
acquitted. No such record was ever be-
fore made by United States marshal.
This is also the largest criminal calendar
ever before the United States courts In
this district. and was disposed OF 10 Eve
days. Judge w. B. Gilbert was the pre-
siding judge. Unusual praise is accorded
Marshal Drake for his exceptionally eff
cient work"
The walla Walla Statesman, in a re-
cent issue, said:
"While the Statesman believes, as doss
President Cleveland, that the present fee
system in United States criminal cases.
especially selling liquor to Indians,
should be done away with. still we must
acknowledge that this district is served
faithfully and honestly by an efficient
complement OF officials. By careful in
qniry it is learned that during the hop
picking season in Yakima county the
lives OF citizens were endangered and it
was considered great risk to go unarmed
On account OF the hordes OF intoxicated
Indians who had means OF obtaining
vhiskey from the lower class Of white
men passing through the country. The
traffic could not be stopped by local
authorities, and at last became so fragrant
that United States Marshal Drake and
his deputies were called upon to stop the
evil. This they did in a summary man
ner; wholesale arrests were made on in
frmation that could not be doubted, and
the criminals are now being brought to-
justice. The United States officials made
no mistakes, which is shown by the re-
suit of the largest days work OF the term
friday, when 33 prisoners charged with
furnishing liquor to the Indians were ar
raigned, and every one either plead
guilty or was. convicted and Sc ltenced to
terms in the penitentiary ranging from
me month to one year. This comprises
,nly about one half OF the men under
arrest. The United States officials are
necessity in such cases, and have done
their duty faithfully and we'll, as by law
provided."

LODI, May a.-Yesterday evening just
at dark as Mrs. Sam Howe and Miss
Beardsley were going to the home of the
former they were met by a negro on horse
back, who ordered them to halt.
On their refusing, he stopped their horse.
Mrs. Howe began flashing him with the
whip, and he caught the whip and jerked
her out of the buggy. Miss Beardsley
jumped, and made her escape to farmers
and the horse ran away, leaving Mrs Howe
alone with the negro, who beat her most
numerically over the head and chest.
She got TO her feet and ran. pursued by
the negro, who soon overlook her and beat
her again. and then asked ner to leave the
public road with him. She escaped again
and got to her home, more dead than alive,

TITLE BY FORCE.
Encounter Over a Mining.
Claim.
THIRTY INTELLECTUAL SHOTS.
A Bloodless but Successful Attempt
to Jump Property Near
Carson City.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

CARSON, New, May 31.-There is fight
on in the Buckeye mining district which
reminds old-tm of the halcyon days of
the Comstock, when good nerve and a
sawed-off shotgun outranked a United
States patent to any claim on the lode.
For some time there has been dispute
over the Blackhorse property in that dis
trict, the contending parties being the Ray
croft brothers, Thomas and Arthur g., and
their relatives, and Pete Mellich and his
retainers.
Up to yesterday the Raycroft Brothers
had nine-tenths OF the law on their side,
for they had posse ssiOn. To-day it
is the other way. No one was
killed in carrying out the exchange,
nor was valuable consideration
passed between the parties in interest, but
some thirty shots were fired to make the
transfer binding, the evidence of the
fusilade being manifest to the naked eye
in the condition of the Raycroft cabin.
Main attention was paid to Arthur J..
Raycroft by the jumpers, sixteen shots
being fired at him as he lay escOnced in
his hut. Tom Raycroft was shot at seven
times
The remainder of the thirty mentioned
were distributed among the divers persons
in the employ of the Raycrofts. No one
was Injured but one of the attacking party
Pete MelIich, while sneaking on Ray
croft's cabin. was shot through the coat in
the left side, the ball just grazing the flesh.

Three men-Pete MeIlich, Bob and Will
Trimmer-approached the cut with cooked
rifles and said, You fellows leave this
claim at once. We have come to take pos
Sc ssion.' None of US were armed, except
with picks. We parleyed as long as pos
sible, but finally the jumpers became des-
perate and ordered US to move at once or
we would be packed out. l insisted upon
going to my cabin, which l considered my
home, but Mellich showed me ahead and
ordered me over the line.
"Three others of the Black Horse men
meanwhile were driven off in another
direction, and when all had left l was
taken back to my cabin, accompanied by
two guards, armed with Winchesters,
where l was allowed to change my gum
boots for leather boots before l walked
back to Carson. Ifound the cabin ridded
with bullets fired at Arthur Raycroft, who
had also been driven off with the Chinese
cook. About twenty men now have pos

Warrants have been issued for several
arrests. Two armed men On horseback
followed myself and George Jaqua three
miles from the mine to be sure we had
left"
1t is not known whether any one was
injured, but further trouble is expected
The owners of Black Horse say they will
fight for the claim, which they consider
their own property according to. law.
There is great difference of opinion as TO
the legal point.

RICHMOND, Va, May 31.-Jeff Davis

New York.
The refinement ceremonies have at
tracted to the city one Of the largest
crowds ever seen here
The decorations in the rotunda of the
Capitol, where the remains lie in state, as
well as elsewhere in the city, were simple,
but impressive. Black and white were the
prevailing colors.
A continuous stream of people passed
through the room in which the coffin lay
all morning Five thousand school children
viewed the casket, each dropping flower
on it. By this time the mass of flowers on
and around the casket amounted to several
wa gon loads.
AT $3.50 o'clock the body was removed to
parisoned 10 black, and with big military
and civic escort the long line of march
was taken up for Hollywood.
John B. Gordon, chief marshal, and a
staff of some fifty prominent Confederate
officers. headed the procession. Flowers
were strewn along the route in front of
the catafalQue, and the bells of the town
tolled while the procession was in progress.
On arriving ct Hollywood Cemetery the
distinguished guests formed circle about
the grave. On the bluff to the tight of the
grave the cavalry and artillery were drawn
up. and next came the infantry.
Association after association of Confed-
crate Veterans formed the third ring OF

was the dense crowd, thousands upon thou.

The grave was lined at the head with
the Confederate national flag, at the foot
with a battle flag, and on the sides with
broad stripes of red and white-the Con-
federate colors.
The band played funeral dirge as
soon as everything was in readiness, and
a selection from the Scripture was next
read. The hymn" How Firm a Foundation
was then sung by the assemblage. and at
its close DR.. Hoge offered a prayer and
Rev. Mr.. Parten pronounced the benedic-
ton.
Immediately afterward the casket was
lowered into the grave. After the bugle
signal came taps, and the infantry fred a
salute, which announced that the services
were over. The column then moved to
Gettysburg Hill, where the annual memo
rial services of the Ladies' Hollywood
Association took place.
