AN ACTOR TRIED TO KILL HIS WIZ
J. *. Emmet, Jr., Pulled Away From His
Victim Just in Time

J. *. Emmet, Jr.. Pulled Away From His
Victim just III Time
san francisco, June 81. X Emmett
Jr., the German comedian, ATTEMPTED
to murder his wife last night and was
only prevented from executing his de-
sign by the forcible interference of
neighbors. Emmett had been about town
all day and in the evening returned
home In drunken condition. He and
his wife had an alteration and EN-
met pursued the woman into the street
and fired a pistol at her at close range.
Then he caught the unfortunate woman
and beat her about the face with the
butt of the weapon. Two young men
pulled the maddened actor from his
I victim and turned him over to the DO
lice.
Mrs. Emmett was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital where she refused to allow
her wounds to be examined. She had
a violent attack of hysteria and the sur
geons could do nothing with her. She
insisted that she had not been shot and
said her husband was too big a coward
to shoot her. There was a slight wound
in her temple and the police surgeon
thinks that the bullet glanced and
lodged under the scalp,
Emmett and his wife concluded an en-
gagement at local theater, where they
played comedy called Fritz In a Mad
house."
Mrs. Emmett Is a California girl and
is known as Milly Layton. She mar
RED Emmett about three years ago. At
ter refusing to be examined at the hos

Emmett was bailed out of Jail tonight.
His wife's injuries are not serious. Mrs
Emmett had recovered her self-posses-
sion today and refused to discuss her
trouble with her husband. Emmett him
self said he had no cause for shootins
his wife and attributed his deadly as

WHEAT WILL BE SHIPPED EAST
Pullman Buyers Find a Ready Market
In the Lake Region

Pullman, Wash, June l0.-The wheat
market continues quiet and dealers are
still anxious to buy all in sight, Forty
four cents is the general price for small
loads and car loads bring no more, The
coast market does not warrant such a
price, but most of the dealers have east
ern contracts which they are doing their
utmost to fill. William Chambers, of
Chambers, Price G. Co., was in Spokane
during the week and managed by offer
ing more than the market warranted
to buy 10000 bushels for eastern ship
ment. Unless the coast markets i'm
prove in the near future, much of next
seasons crop will undoubtedly find its
way toward the eastern cities as a larg-
er price will be obtainable there than
elsewhere, taking into consideration
the difference in the freight rates.
The weather during most of the week
has ben cool and pleasant although
sunny. A good warm wave would bene-
fit crops in general If not too prolonged.
The prospects are that it will be forth
coming and grain and garden truck
reap the benefit shortly. While the cool
weather has proven beneficial a change
would make an appreciable advance In
the growth of everything. Garden
truck is recovering somewhat from the
first of last week and warm weather
would do much to facilitate its improve
ment.

WHITNEY SAYS 1T is A CRAZE
The Silver Question lie Believes win
Assume Great Proportions

Boston, Mass. June 10.-Ex- Secretary
of the Navy William c. Whitney was
interviewed at the home of his mother
in Brookline last night He said
Il am not and will not be q presiden-
tial candidate. If the silver men should
carry the next democratic convention
1t will split the party. The democrats
must stand for sound money. There
are many sound-money men in the west
and south, and the Memphis conven-
ton, l think, helped the cause along.
Carlisles speech was an excellent one
and deserves to be widely read. 1t I'M
doubtedly had influence in the south.
think the people win eventually treat
this question as they did the greenback
question. They want sound money now
just as much as they did then"
Whitney said he felt, however that
the free-silver question was liable to
assume the same proportions, or even
greater ones, than did the greenback
question. He intimated that an organ
lied educational movement was neces-
sary to counterfeit the spread of the
'free-silver craze"
Il do not think the republicans will
care to open the tariff question again"
he said. They see they could gain
nothing by it, The money question will
dominate everything in the next cam
paign, unless there is radical change
in sentiment within the next year"

They went stealthily and yet hur-

in dozen places. Hurrying to ascer-

house. some 20 or 80 sheep men, found
gallons of kerosene in the place dis

HAS TWO RECEIVERS
Short Line and Utah Northern in
a Sad tumble.
HEAVILY LOADED WITH DEBTS
Before the Order Is Operative a Vast
sum in Interest Must BE
Paid Over.

Salt Lake, Utah. June 1O.-Judge
Merritt of the Third district court
handed down a decision in the oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern case to-
day. He appoints John NJ. Egan of st.
Paul and w. II. Bancroft of Salt Lake
receivers of the entire property within
the jurisdiction of the court. This Is
upon the condition that the interest
now due on mortgages be paid by July
l. and all interest falling due thereafter
be paid within 80 days from maturity.
Otherwise the property shall be sur
rendered to the receivers of the Union
Pacific road. Bancroft is one of the
general superintendent of the Union
Pacific system
The decision has been the all-absorb-
ing topic in railroad and commercial
circles today. Before the order of the
court is operative. it makes it incum-
bent upon the American Loan and
Trust Company to pay $734.0O0 interest
due on the mortgages July l and to pay
all interest falling due thereafter with
in 80 days after maturity. This includes
the interest due on the Utah Southern
mortgages. If default should be made
on the interest, the road is then to be
1t was also stipulated that the entire
rorn should be operated in one interest.
No 'eference was made to the issuing
of receivers certificates. The loan and
trust company made strong fight for
a single receiver, claiming that the ap-
pointment of an associate receiver
would defeat the objects of the suit. In
some quarters ii is claimed that the
loan company will not accept the condi-
tons imposed by the court. This opin-
ion is in part shared by Mr.. Egan him
self.
The friends of Mr.. Bancroft point to
his clean and successful management
of the Rio Grande q Western railroad
during his six years management as
receiver and general superintendent
also the vast improvements made by
him on the Oregon Short Line, and
think that his association with such an
able railroad manager as Mr.. Egan
could not fail to bring satisfactory re-
suits to every interest involved.
Mr. Egan leaves for the east tonight
and Senator Thurston goes to Idaho
for few days recreation.

IMPROVING TRANS PACIFIC MAILS
The pOstoffice Department Takes Action
to Facilitate Their Transmission

Washington, June 1O.-The best meth
cd of facilitating the sending of trans
Pacific mails (Which now leave the I'm
tied States from San Francisco and
Tacoma), is the subject of an order is
sued to postmasters by Third Assistant
Postmaster General Cragin. In
asmuch as it is not practicable for most
of the postmasters throughout the
country to keep accurately advised of
the dates of sailing of steamships of
different lines from different ports, Mr.
Cragin instructs them to send all trans
Pacific mail to the postmaster at San
Francisco, unless specially addressed
via Tacoma" Special instructions will
be given to postmasters at several of
the large cities to carefully note the
time required for train dispatches be-
tween their respective offices and Ia
coma, Washington, having reference to
dates advertised for steamship sailings
to China and Japan, and when expedi-
ton can certainly be gained for regis
tered mail not specially addressed to
go otherwise, they will bill such regis
tered mail to the San Francisco ex-
change office.
