MACON, Ca, Oct. 16.-A special to
the Telegraph from Camilla, Ca, saws:
Last night about 7 80 O'Clock the quiet
OF this city was disturbed by the firing
of pistol shots on Main street. After
the firing it was found that Mr.. B. B.
Watkins, the town marshal, and Mr..
William B. Swindle were the parties
engaged in the shooting. There were
about six shots fired by both parties
and the result was Mr.. Swindle was in
instantly killed, he being shot in five
or six places in the body and terribly
shot IN the head. He breathed his last
a few minutes after the firing had
ceased.
Mr.. Watkins, the marshal, was seri-
ously shot, his leg bone few inches
above the ankle being broken by one of
the shots. There had been bad feeling
between the men for some months, and
trouble was feared when they should
meet, as both were determined men.
The body OF Mr.. Swindle will be
buried here tomorrow. Mr.. Watkins
leg in all probability will have to be
amputated.

An Inquiry About a Dead Mans
Mine.

An Inquiry About a Dead Mans
Mine.
Adjutant General Schwartz yesterday
received curious letter from a man
named Oscar M. Amigh, of Schultze-
vile, Dutchess county, N. Y. The
writer says that a cousin of his, Moses
Conger, used to be a miner near Tucson.
That one day premature blast blew
his eyes out, and he returned to his
home in the east and died. Before his
death he told the writer that he owned
rich silver mines near Tucson. Mr..
Armigh wants to know if the adjutant
general knows anything about it.
The writer evidently labored under
an impression that the adjutant gen
eral was deaf. The letter is written in
crayon or charcoal upon two pieces of
MANILA wrapping paper about two and
one-half feet square. The letters are of
such heroic size that they can be dis
tinguished only by holding the paper at
arms length. Ii the reader is short
armed man he has to get some one else
to hold it, and thus enchantment and
legibility is lent to the view.

That She Was Coerced.
CHICAGO, Oct. l6.-It is a unique
charge which Mary n. McGavin brings
against her husband, James McGavin,
in her bill for an annullment OF their
marriage. She informs the court that
the death of her first husband, John
Hoar, unbalanced her mind so that she
lost the power OF resistance and could
be easily deceived or persuaded. Dur
ing the month of January last, prior to
her second marriage, she was persuaded
by her cousin, Jennie Murray, to attend
spiritualist meeting. and McGav1n ac-
companied them. She was informed
by the medium that it was the desire OF
her departed husband that she marry
McGavin.
She was persuaded to marry Nc
Gavin and was taken to the house of
spiritualist medium. There complain
ant charges, McGavin compelled her to
drink some drug which stupefied her,
and while she was under its influence
the medium performed the marriage
ceremony. McGavin and Jennie Muir
ray are accused of procuring the SER
vices of the medium to carry out the
conspiracy to get possession of her real
estate, which is worth about $4,000.
The mediums right to perform the
marriage ceremony is denied.

masked men. Shute was walking along
the county road en- route to the farm of

compelled him to give them the
com bination to the vault. Two
of the men started for town to
the bank while the others remained
as guard over Mr.. Shute. After time

threats they started toward town with

loose and disappeared.

and Mr.. Shute went to the residence of
J. D. Merriman, cashier of the bank,
and arousing him, told his story. They
found the city marshal and proceeded

AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.
Colonial Atonement for the Peo-
DIe'S Sins.

In the office OF Messrs. Fitch & Camp
bell hangs framed document which
Col. Fitch would not sell for its weight
in gold, frame and all. 1t is procla-
nation by his great grandfather,
the Honorable Thomas Fitch, colonial
governor of Connecticut, 130 years ago.
The proclamation eeIs April II, I765,
as day for fasting and prayer. In
giving his reasons for setting apart that
day TO go gloomy and unpleasant pur-
pose, Governor Fitch calls attention to
a series OF calamities, drouth, scorching
weather, sickness, mildew, etc., which
he believes to be unmistakable evidence
of Gods displeasure. He admits that
Gods attitude toward the people ef
Connecticut was just what might have
been expected. There had been ton
much stubbornness, pride, self viii,
profanity, lying and general colonial
cussedness. and the governor could see
no way out of it than for the people to
make themselves hungry and miserable
and in general and humble way assist
the Almighty IN visiting punishment
upon them.
The people were also called upon TO
remember in their prayers his gracious
majesty, King George, the Third, king
OF Great Britain, France and other
principalities.

The American Ship Ivanhoe Goes to

By the Associated Press.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-The gale
which has prevailed along the northern
Pacific coast since Saturday last has
undou btedly caused widespread disaster
to shipping interests. At least three
schooners are known to have been
wrecked There are grave reasons for
believing that the American ship, Ivan
hoe, has been lost with all on board
and there is little doubt that the South
ern Pacific company's raft of 10000
spars and piles, valued at over $50, 900,
has been broken by the elements.
The news of the next few days, it is
thought, will show still greater losses.
From Tacoma the schooner, Nora
Harkins, is reported wrecked at the en-
trance to Gray's harbor. One seaman
was drowned. The schooner, Portia, is
also reported wrecked at Stewards
Point. Her bottom was knocked out
on rocks and her crew narrowly escaped
with their lives.
1t is afro reported that the schooner
Electric was driven on rocks near Cam
bria on the San Luis Obispo county
coast. A few minutes before the crew
left her she broke in two and went
down.
The American ship Ivanhoe, coal
laden. from Seattle for this port, which
has now been out twentyone days, is
almost certainly lost. Capt. C. E.
Griffin commanded her and she carried
crew of eighteen men. Col. Fred
Grant, one of the proprietors of the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and ex-
minister to Bolivia, was passenger on
the Ivanhoe. Wreckage has been
sighted off the Oregon coast which re-
sem bles portions OF the Ivanhoe.

The Trim American Foot.

Several London newspapers have been
entertaining their readers during the
Whitsun holidays by lively controver-
sy over the respective size and beauty
of the feet of English and American
women. Some editors, in the face of
overwhelming evidence, confess that
English feet are out of running in such
controversy and console themselves
by asserting that the feet of Englishmen
are far more shapely than those of their
American brothers. There have been
many indignant protests against even
this admission. The shoe dealers, when
assured that they may speak incog, re-
gretfully admit that they are unable
to fit the trim American foot with any
shoe ready made for the. fat and fiat
feet of English women.
