REDDING, CAL, May f5.-The insur-
ance war is on in earnest in this city and
to-day the opening skirmish was made in
the county Supervisors room at the court
house.
Some three weeks ago the local insur-
-ance agents formed combine to stand by
the old rates and make no cut in the pre-
miums now held by the companies repre-
scented by them. Yesterday Rod E. Smith,
representing an Eastern company, ap-
peared in the city, and his arrival, together
with thousands of circulars announcing q
, suspension of insurance rates, has caused
! CONSERVATION among local agents and Joy
among the policy-holders.
Rates are being slashed right and left.
} The agents who at first decided to keep up
rates are now attempting to meet the cut.
, A big fight ensued to-day at the court
house. The county has been paying S10SC
premium on $50, 600 worth of insurance
and tonight the county Supervisors will
60 to sleep with the consciousness of having
saved the county nearly clear $1,000 or
insurance alone. and it has all beer
brought about by the insurance war. The
Supervisors passed an order canceling the
old policies and insuring under the cu
rates, which are S5 per cent lower than the
rates now charged, and the county save:
S918.
Many of the heaviest property-owners ir
the city fastened to secure policies under

AIRED IN AFRESNO COURT,
Another Action Growing Out
of the Won Schmidt Family
Differences.
Alfred Sued by a Younger Brother
for an Accounting Of the
Large Estate.

FRESNO. CAL, May 15.-Judge J. R.
Webb to-day tried the suit of Edward A.
Won Schmidt against Alfred w. Won
Schmidt for an accounting. The plaintiff
is the well-known dredger of San Francisco,
and the defendant, who is his brother, was
arrested some time ago on the complaint
of his father, Alexey Won Schmidt, who
charged him with insanity. Alfred Won
Schmidt afterward brought suit against
his father for heavy damages, charging
that he had been imprisoned without cause
and had been i'll treated.
The present suit is an outgrowth of the
same family trouble. The plaintiff claims
a half-interest in 160-acre vineyard, held
by Alfred, alleging that it was decided Co
him by his father, who spent over $77, 1000
in improving the land. Alfred, it is al
legged, has advanced only $93 50 and will
now, unless restrained by order of the
court, dispose of the property and appro-
pirate the proceeds. The plaintiff asks
that the land be sold and that he be given
his share of the proceeds. At the con.
clusion of the trial, in which considerable
feeling was shown by the parties inter
ested, the case was submitted on briefs.

FIGHT NEAR FORT THOMAS,
Renegade Apaches Attack q
Band of Indians on the
Reservation.
An Attempt of the "Kid" to Carry
Off SquaW Resisted by Her
TribeSmen.

WILCOX, ARIz., May 15.-It was learned
to-day from the driver of the mail stage
between San Carlos and the abandoned
post, Fort Thomas, that the renegade
Apaches had fight with the Indians on
the reservation, killing one squaw, injur.
ing several others and carrying one away.
Later accounts would indicate that the
renegade kid" had hand in the fray, as
he has mania for taking new squaw
each time he returns to the reservation.
After the disturbance they left the reser-
vation travelling southwark. A detach-
ment of calvary under the command OF
Lieutenant Hartman and the Indian
police is in close pursuit. 1t is now gen.
orally known that for the past seven
months the Indians have invested all their
spare cash in ammunition, which is sig
nificant of dissatisfaction arising from in
sufficient rations. The settlers are fortify-
ing themselves and stocking up with arms
and ammunition.

CASHED A FALSE DRAFT.
He Had Defrauded Bank Just
Before Ending His Life
With a Bullet.
NO TRACE OF THE MONEY.
Experts Place the Amount OF the
Suicides Shortage at Upward
of $125, 900.

TACOMA, WASH, May 15.-The finan-
cial depths concerning the late Paul
SchulZe continue to be stirred, and few
more bubbles have come to the surface
where they can be seen. Schulze was
Henry Wizards confidential man on Puget
Sound, and general Western land agent of
the Northern Pacific Railroad land depart
ment, with headquarters here. His sudden
suicide several weeks ago shocked the en-
tire Northwest. Schulze was the son of
German Baron.
1t transpired here to-day that three days
before Schulze placed a revolver behind
his ear and blew his brains out, he went
into the Bank of British Columbia and
raised $4,000 by few strokes of his pen.
Schulze had done business at the bank be-
fore, and by this means his paper gained
the reputation of being all right on all oc-
casions. He wrote out draft for $4,000 on
a man at San Francisco, took it to F. w.
Low, the cashier, and had it cashed. Be-
fore the draft was heard from, Schulze had
departed by the revolver route.
When the draft was sheard from it was
found that there was no man in San Fran
cisco of the name that Schulze had written
on the draft. The bank is out Just $46OO.
Nobody kncws what Schulze did with tie
money. This has precipitated the resig-
nation of Cashier Low, after a continuous
service of fifteen years.
Thomas Cooper, Schulzes successor as
land agent, now says SchulZe's defalca-
tons will not reach less than $125, ,000, and
the investigation which is proceeding both
here and at the st. Paul office has not
reached bottom vet.

ply, arrested for attempted arson, later
sent to Jail for vagrancy, and who broke
from jail with four others and was recap
tured through the courage of Under
Sheriff Robinson, is still feigning insanity.
A short time ago he tried the dodge, and
was placed in dark cell. This brought
him to his senses, and he has behaved ex-
cellently until to-day, when he tried to
hang himself by using bale rope and
leather strap. Before the moose tightened
about his neck he was discovered by an
inmate of an adjoining cell. The cries of
the other man brought Under Sheriff
Robinson to the scene, and Murphy's life
was saved.
Murphy is considered thorough culprit,
and the general opinion prevails that the
alleged attempted suicide is merely plan
of his own to prevent his going to San
Quentin for iail-breaking.

H0rseDsedt In Large Quantities Shipped

PORTLAND, Or, May 15.-The Herrick
cannery at the Dalles has already begun to
pack horsemeat. Six cayuses have been
slaughtered and canned, and Mr.. Herrick
is nov feeding fine three-year-old fiIly on
grain for the purpose of noting the differ
ence in the flesh.
Dozens of people have sampled the
canned horse and are unanimous in pro-
nouncing it good, though there was not
one of them but confessed prejudice
against the eating of horsehesh. The only
trouble Herrick has met with in canning
is that the flesh cannot be packed into the
cans tightly enough by hand, but the diff
Guilty will be overcome by using ma
chinery, such as is used in packing corned
beef. The first horse killed made six cases
of forty-eight pounds each, but the others
ran little under that.
Herrick has samples in several Of the
larger Eastern cities and is confident that
there will be good demand for his goods.
He expects. If the demand that he antici-
pates exists, to commence business in
earnest at the close of the salmon season
and will be able to handle the carcasses OF
100 horses day.

quiring the city to show its right to furnish
Mare Island with water. Judge Buckles
granted peremptory writ, returnable on
the 9th.
The action will take the same course as
an ordinary suit at law, and the city will
demur to the petition of the Vallejo Water
Company on that day. Attorneys Harrier
and Gregory will have care of the city S
interests.
The Vallejo Water Company contends
that Vallejo has no legal right to supply
water to customers outside of the munich
pality. The city, of course, will take the
opposite view. The general law on the
question will be invoked, and the peculiar
relation of Mare Island to Vallejo will also
enter into the matter.
