ON A RAMPAGE.
A Gang of Toughs Shoots Up
 the Town.
The Authorities Are Asked How ( Recurrence of These Incidents
 Can Be Prevented.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning citizens in the south end of town were awakened by the report of pistol, fol- lowed by loud shouting and yelling. After few minutes another shot was heard and then still another and an. other.
 About thirty shots in all were fired before the shooting ceased at this end of the town. Still later shots could be heard ia Sonora town accompanied as before with loud shouts and tall swear ing. gang of rowdies amusing them selves was the explanation for it all.
 Why no complaint has been entered or arrest made is a mystery, as the names of all parties are or must be well known to the constable. This is not the first time this has occurred, for every time certain individual gets drunk he gets on one of these wild rampages. Luckily no one was hurt by the flying bullets, but several close calls are reported. This kind of work must be stopped and the officers should see that the law is enforced even if they have to arrest their best friends and packers.

UNDERGROUND RIVER FOUND
Farmer Allen Discovers a Subter-

Farmer Allen Discovers a Subter-
 ranean Stream.
 AUGUSTA, H., March 5.-[Associated Press. "A mysterious underground river has been discovered four and one half miles northwest of this place. A few days ago William A. Allen, a farmer, dug a well on his farm in that locality, going to depth of 32 feet. Not finding as much water as he wished, he dug A feet farther, and suddenly the augur dropped through the bottom of the well. What water had accumulated also fell through the hole. The hole was plugged up with clay and debris and the we'll again filled with water, but soon the entire bottom fell out, carry ing all but about five feet of the walls with it. Nothing was then left but a deep hole in the ground, at the hottom of which could be seen swift rushing stream. All efforts to fill up the mys- terious hole have proved futile. Rub bish, stones, logs and other debris have been thrust into the hole, but the rush. ing current carries it away almost in- stantly. Efforts have been made to sound the depth of the subterraDean stream, but they, too, are futile. The find is deep mystery.

me strange case Reported from a
 Tennessee Village.
 MILAN, Tenn, March 25.-[ Associated Press. l-There is much excitement in the community of Marshalps Chapel over the death of Robert Bell. He ap- parently died after short illness of typhoid fever. His body was prepared for burial and preparations made for the funeral. In the midst of the services a noise was heard in the coffin. Quckly bursting the lid Mir. Bell sat up, was re- moved to his home and in few hours was feeling much better. He claimed to have been in heaven and saw many friends. His wonderful stories drew many people to the house. Last night he became sick and suddenly called out "They are coming for me-" and fell back dead. His physician claims that he was in a trance, and awakening in the coffin his mind was wrecked.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS STRIkE.
Refuse to Read an Unexpurgated
 Edition of Hamlet.


 Edition of Hamlet.
 SAN FRANCIsco, March 25.-[ Associ- ated Press. l-0akland high school girls have struck. They have refused to read in mixed class an unexpurgated edi- ton of Hamlet" which Prof. Burrill had ordered. He instructed the class to buy a cheap edition of Hamlet" and assigned the different parts to boys and girls. All went well until the boy who was reading "Guildenstern's" part skipped a line. Then the girl who was to read "Ophelia's" song declined to do SO, and told the professor she did not think the edition fit for class room. He made light of their protest, but they held a meeting and appealed to the principal, who called the professor down and told him he should have selected a school edition of the play.

 The evidence introduced was similar to the evidence in the other cases of this nature which have been tried here lately. Counsel, jury and witnesses all wishing to go to the wild west show at PhGnix the court kept going without an adjournment. Both counsel summed the case up in few words and it was then submitted to the jury, who after a short dellberation brought in verdict of not guilty.

WILLIAM TELL COLEMAN.

One OF the most conspicuous figures in
our local history has passed away. VIII
liam Tell C0iaman died at his residence In
this city on Wednesday. He had reached
very near the ripe age of 20 years. and for
some months had been far from we'll
Still, the intelligence of his death causes a
shock even TO the rising generation, who
know the deeds of the man rather than the
man himself. The name of w. T. Cole
man will always be most wildly rsmem-
beTed for the part he took In the Vigilance
Committee of 1856. History hardly affords
8 parallel for this uprising of whole pe0-
pie, who held absolute power for several
months and disbanded voluntarily with
out having committed an excess. Possess
ing unlimited power the committee did
not abuse it. Rising above the law it OBJ
served all the forms of law. Facts and
accusations were carefully sifted and the
mandate ''Let justice be done though the
heavens fall" was religiously observed.
The mental and moral characteristics of a
leader in this movement must have been
of high order. The verdict OF the Fed
ersl Government OF the manner in which
the RESPONSIBLE duties of the committee
were performed was given when the de.
cision was reached to disregard the tenn
porary defiance of Federal authority.

THURsToN AND BLouNT.

There is one point Of difference between
the report of Mr.. Blount and the reply of
Minister Thurston. The latter aceords
with known facts while the former is
merely the reflection of the opinions of
certain men whom Mr.. Blount intervle wed.
Mr.. Thurston's recital of the events oil
1887 and 1889 does not depend upon the
writer's word; it is revival of facts and
conditions already known. In 1898 the
same men came TO the front who had held
the King in restraint at the two periods
mentioned. The royalist party was in the
three cases practically the same. It was a
King or Queen trying to vest themselves
with absolute power against the white res
idents of the islands. The few white res
idents who did not take part in the revo-
luton Of last January were court favor
ties who regarded Government as a means
OF getting living ana having IN gen.
eral way a good time. The men who put
the Provisional Government on its feet
were the men who had twice prevented the
King from doing what the Queen propos ed
to do in January. The presump tIon is fair
that the solid citizens of the islands did
not organize the revolution from mere
love of mischief. as Mr.. Blount's report
would seem TO indicate.

STATUES OF THE DEAD.

Travellers who have visited the beauts.
full city of Montreal will remember the
statue of Lord Nelson which adorns
jacques Cartier square, having been
erected by the English residents in ft Of
patriotic enthusiasm. On Monday even
ing last, in wild ebulIition Of French
nations lism, three French Canadian law
students attempted 30 blow mp the statue
on the ground that Nelson was an inc0r.
rigibie enemy of the French, and that his
name should not be comme moratcd in a
city whose Inhabitants are of French ORR
gin. The little incident raises the ques-
ton how far one generation should re-
spect the loves and hates Of the genera
tions which went before it.
One OF the first acts Of the Sons Of
Liberty in New York when independence
was declared was TO pull down the statue
Of George the Third. 10 knock liz head of
and roll 1t In the cutters. The act was
soothing to the patriotic mind. but the
Bowling Green would have looked none
the worse to-day for statue of the stupid.
honest. pig-headed old monarch. There
was Russian who was better advised.
He left statue of one of Napoleon's
manrauding n arshals standing on foreign
soil, and merely Inscribed on the base
''Vu ct appTouve par nous Com
mandant Russo de la Vile de CObIeptz."
The French sans culottes left few of the
statues Of the later Bourbons standing.
but when it was proposed to haul down
the statue Of Henry the Fourth on the
Port Neuf. the Partisan blood rose, and The
icouoclasts were fain TO retreat from the
bridge with much detection Of tail.
If. whenever peoples minds change. the
works Of art erected under one regime are
torn down by its successor cities will be
bare of artistic adornmeDt. There ia
probably no point as to which Frenchmep
are more generally agreed than the con-
vIcti0n that France has had enough Of the
Bonapartes; but what would Paris be
without its records in bronze and marble
Of the Little CorpoTal-above all without
that somber mausoleum which has no
parallel In monumental gloom outside OF
the pyramids?
After death has closed mans account
with the world he Is judged in part by the
soundness of bis policy and In part by the
purity Of his motives. No statues are
raised 10 Benedict Arnold or Robespierre
or the Duke of Ava. But Lord North In
bronze would not be nbecoming TO an
American museum Of stasnary. The stat
ues of Philip Ii arouse no indignation

attorney OF the board should not have
informed them of tins existence of such a
law. There is something more in this than
a mere oversight The law provides for
the construction of tracks along the water
front for general use. The object of the
law is TO secure 20 any railroad company
that might enter the city the common use
OF tracks on the same terms as any other
railroad. OF course there could be no
doubt OF the party to which the privilege
OF laying the track on reserved ierritory is
granted. The Market-street Railroad
Company secured the franchise and turned
IL over to the Consolidated Stree. Railroad
Company. When the Southern Pacific
Company wants anything there does not
seem to be much trouble about getting il.
