A Wild Scramble for Town Lots in
Spokane, Wash.
SPOKANE, WASH, Nov. 20.-When the
city awoke this morning it was con-
fronted by,sn extraordinary spectacle.
During the night 250 "boomers" had
rushed in aud located lots on the tract
known as Shantytown, 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
ago 1t was jumped by squatters, but
threey years ago the interior department
decided against them and they were
ousted. The recent decisions by the
secretary Of the interior, adverse to the
railroad, respecting lieu land selections,
started a rumor that this tract had
reverted to the government, and this
led to stampede for lots. Daylight
brought renewed activity, and before 8
O'Clock at least 700 men had staked out
lots. Policemen caught the infection
and joined in the work of grabbing.
During the day Shantytown was q scene
of great activity-hundreds of men
stood guard over their claims. Tonight
bonfires dot the site. 1t is not believed
the jumpers have cause for retaining
possession.

FRESNO, Nov. 20.-The case of the
people against Christopher Evans for
the murder of Victor Wilson was called
at 10 O'Clock this morning before Judge
H. X. Harris. The prosecution an
nounced themselves ready for the trial.
The defense was not ready and asked
for continuance till next Friday.
Judge Harris denied the motion for a
continuance, because the trial had
already been set for 50 days. and he
would not give further time. The work
of examining jurors was then proceeded
with. Up to the hour of adjournment
seven we're examined, one being passed.
All these, but ttis one, said they had
made up their minds for or against the
defense. They had read newspaper re-
ports and the testimony could not
change their opinion. One Juror, Will
liam Main. said he had come to deci-
sion i'll favor of Evans. But few ques-
tions were asked by the defendant's g
attorney, and these gave no indication
what the defense would be.
The crime for which Evans is now on
trial is the murder of Victor Wilson at
Young's cabin, September IL, 1892.
There are three charges against him.
all by indictment found by the grand
jury in September, 1892. There is an
indictment for the murder of Wilson,
one for the murder of McGinnis, and one
for the Coils train robbery.
The trial at present is for the murder
of Wilson. 1t is the same in substance
as the murder OF McGinnis, and the
same testimony will apply 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
fat early in September.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20.-The general
assembly of the Knights of Labor held
another stormy session today, and the
lie was passed more than once between

ticp is still defiant. All are disturbed
over the fact that their proceedings have

CIUDAD JUAREz, Mexico, Nov. 20.-
Thsre are reports of further engage
ments between revolutionists and fed
eral troops. The situation is favorable
to the revolutionists, as the country in
which they are operating is in sympa-

to troops on account OF its natural
roughness and snow. Palomas and
Conception have been invaded and the
former completely looted. President
Diaz has ordered that all revolutionists
caught be shot like dogs. At every

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The silver

ficient time has elapsed since the repeal
OF the Sherman law to chow that
it was not responsible for the hard
times. and that its repeal, instead
OF helping matters, has made them
worse by contracting the currency and
making it harder for the debtor class to
pay. He says he has private aesur-

who voted for repeal to make it evil
dent he can get majority in the house
for free coinage, and he has prepared a
bill for early introduction which
is practical revival of the
free coinage law of 1887. and
makes silver coins OF all de-
nominations free legal tender to any
amount. 1t is his purpose not to push
this bill at once. but to allow first rea-
sonable time for the passage of the
tariff bill. He thinks there should be
a heavy reduction in the tariff and a
large iRcome tax imposed.
