HERCED, Cal, Jan. THE first Of a
great series of mass meetings will be held
here today in which a public protest will
be made against extending the famous
Yosemite National Park. A federal com

the first and in which they will endorse
resolutions opposing the extension on the
grounds that it will take many millions
Of dollars Of taxable properties out of the

A peculiar kind of call has been de-

a French army officer. This call,
which is called 1.-THE dog" is produced
by means of an instrument in which
a wheel carrying q series of strips of
steel upon its circumference and pass
ing between the poles of magnet
develops currents of variable frequen-
.cy. The circulation in the line OF
these currents produces in the receiv-
ers a characteristic signal, percept.
ible st distance, and exactly resem-

appear that the most enlightened ma
tions OF the day are not above follow
ing the methods adopted by the un-
tutor-d savage, whose favorite mode
OF transmitting signals, both in war
and in the chase, is Initiating the cries
of animals or the note Of wild birds.

AN EXCITING COMBAT.

tai in a Dangerous Cond itIon.

A fight occurred In prominent saloon

suit being that the latter had his head

About the hour above mentioned. they
entered a saloon on Main plaza and or
dered some drinks. johnson, who is
only "A boy apparently, began to feel his
oats" and called Baxter d.. Baxter,
who is q quiet BOY naturally, did not be-
come angry, but asked Johnson TO keep
quiet. This seemed to arouse the wrath
of johnson and he agar called BaX-
ter a tough name. This was too
much. The good natured fellow
had taken enough and in a quiet way
struck little Johnson in the face, with
his open hand, not hurting him in the
least Windsor, who is a large man,
stepped uD with the wrath of lion, and
gave Baxter an awfu! blow over the head
with his fist. The TWO clinched and a
rough and tumble fight enSued. While
the two were together, Johnson pulled
from his pocket a six shooter, and run
ing up to Baxter, struck him twice over
the head, causing him to fall in an I'M
conscious condition. The first lick was
on the forehead, and was deep, though not
long. The second was on top OF the head
and the cash is in the shape of a ~" 1t
is very long and deep.
Officer Halle heard the racket and en-
tered the saloon, just ia time to see Bax-
ter fall. Windsor and Johnson were ar
rested. the former on the the charge of
b ing diSorderly and the latter for carry
ing pistol and for beating and striking
Baxter was taken to the drug store of
West II BrIStOw and DR.. Graves was sum
mOned and dressed his wounds. He was
then conveyed to the Santa Rosa, or
Southern Pacific hospital, he being con-
ductor on that road.
This morning the cases against John
son and Windsor came up in police court
before Judge Devine. johnson was
fined 500 and 30 days Imprisonment for

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. :.
Special to the San Antonio LIGHT:
Mr.. Paul Handy, the sixteen year old
son OF Gen. Wn. r. Handy, committed
suicide by shooting himself through the
brain, while standing on the bridge cross
ing the Colorado river, at the foot of the
avenue. The deed was committed about
seven O'Clock last night and was done
with a self-aetion revolver, which had
been discharged twice, but 1t is thought
that the last shot was fired accidentally,
in falling. The young man has a ways
been very morose and peculiar, and re-
ports say that he attempted suicide last
September. but failed. Gen. Handy is
very prominent here in political and
financial circles and the affair causes a
