CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Colonel r. e. Croft
ton, commander Of the Fifteenth infantry
at Fort Sheridan, narrowly escaped death,
or at least severe wound at the hands
of Lieutenant S. S. Pague of Company
T., Fifteenth infantry, this afternoon
The Lieutenant fired three shots at the
commander. One passed through the
fold of his overcoat, just over the right
groin, and the second and third passed
close 10 the body. Pague, few months
before. had escaped f,om the hospital,
where he had been undergoing treatment
for mental trouble occasioned, it is said,
by over-indulgence in liquor. At the
fort tonight it was said that the lieuten-
ant was not responsible for his act. and
that his meeting with Crofton was a
chance meeting. The shooting OCCASION
ed great excitement at the fort, both
because of the universal good favor in
which Pague is held bv his comrades
who regret exceedingly his mental
trouble, and because it was the secun d
time that AL officer Of the Fifteenth in
fantry who was suffering from dementia
has attacked Colonel Crofton.
Pague some time ago spent several
weeks at liquor cure establishment.
fetal to him. A few weeks ago. however,
his comrades ana superior off GERS noticed
that his actions were strange and not
those of man mentally responsible. 1t
was then concluded that the treatment
had affected his brain. During the visit
of General Merritt at the fort recently,
Pagues actions were so bad that he was
ordered sent to the post hospital for
treatment This afternoon while the at
tendants were busy in another part of
the hospital Lieutenant Paguo escaped
from his room. He went Immediately
to his home. in distant part of the post
grounds, and securing a revolver, walked
out on the parade ground and fired the
shots at Colonel Crofton as told above.
The shots brought several officers to the
spot and before he fired again he was
seized and dlsarmed. According to the
officials who rook him in custody. he dld
not seem TO realize what he had done.
and fow moments after did not seem to
remember that he had fired any shots at
all.
Lieutenant Pague is about 40 years OF
age. He graduated at West Point about

west. He is considered an able officer.

POLAR SEALSKIN HUNTERS
The Americans Couldn't Kill Any Seals
With Spears
The Britishers Used Rifles and Got Seals tut
the Skins Were Confiscated and
Vessels SeilSd

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3-The seal
ing schooner J. Eppipger, Captain White,
has arrived from the Bering Sea with
very few seals on board. Captain White
is indignant at what he declares was the
discrimination OF the revenue cutters in
favor of English sealers. The Victoria
men, he says, were permitted to carry
fire arms INTO tho sea and they used them
to such an extent that the Americans
could not get near seal to spear one.
"All the Americans received lnstruc-
tions." said Captain White, ito seal or
land all firearms. | was obliged 10 give
up even my revolver. No such orders
were given to the British captains and
they went away with their arms and am
munition on board their vessels. The re-
suit was that when we put into Bering
Sea on every day that was fitting for
sealing we could hear the popping OF ii
fies from all directions, Boat after boat
from the Eppinger came back empty and
the omplaint OF my men all the time
was that the shooting scared the seals
away. The Britishers and their Siwash
Indians used firearms. while the Ameri-
can government compelled its citizens to
go back to the weapons OF n century ago,
which were of no use whatever. Amer
lean citizens pay taxes to the govern
ment and the British reap the benefits of
them.
"Finally the revenue cutters awoke TO
q sense of their duty. The Rush swouped
down on the Beatrice and the j. B. Mar
win, and finding skins on board showing
shot marks, the vessels were seiz ed and
sent to Victoria. We found the ssals so
wild that we dec;ued to come home.

broker Oppenheim's shop. He said the
ring was of common kind, b ut when
asked by the prosecution to compare it
with similar ring introduced by the de-
fense. an objection was sustained.
The defense endeavored to show by f.
W. Ross, student at Cooper Med ical
college, that on the afternoon that
Blanche Lamont was murdered he and
Durrant took walk from the college to
the vic nifty OF Golden Gate. Ross re-
membered that he and Duirant bad taken
such walk but said he could not fix the
date.
G. l.. Garvin. the medical student who
testified that he did not attend DR..
Cheney's lecture, although he is recorded
present on the roll call, will probably be
recalled for further examination. HIS
testimony was great surprise to the at
torneys Tor the defense who interposed
objections afterward to almost every
| question asked him by the prosecution
| Garvin's denial that ne attended the
lecture shows what the prosecution ha:
long been trying to prove-that the roll
call book is unreliable and that it should
not be assumed from the fact that Dur
rant was recorded present in the book
that he actually attended the lecture.
The importance of the testimony
sought to be obtained by Miss Cunning
ham lies in the fact that it is apparently
the last hope of the defense to break k
down the strong testimony of how she

The proposition for a Greater Los An
geles has evaporated SO far as the four
southwestern districts, which it was in
tended to make a part of the city, are
concerned, at least for time. The peo-
pie inside the CITY were perfectly agreea-
BILE, but the residents in the section to
be taken in were coy. They went to the
polls and put keen-edged knife into
the proposition, defeating the election by
seventeen votes. The majority in favor
of the Greater Los Angeles inside tn
nine wards of the city was 500 votes.
Pico Heights cast two votes against the
proposition, University sixty-one votes
against and Rosedale forty-six votes
against making a total of 109 votes
three precincts named. Against this
showing Vernon could only muster ma
jority of nlnety-two votes Tor annexation.
That decided the skirmish. Annexation
had lost by narrow margin. but never
theless margin big enough to have
made itself felt.
Twenty-eight votes were thrown out at
Vernon for alleged irregularities, of
which number all but ten are said to
have been for annexation, and nine
votes were dumped at Rosedale. Poo
Heights threw out nine votes against and
seven Tor annexation. Inc discarded
Vernon votes may result in an entire re-
count of the precinct, which the annexa-
tionists claim will carry tho whole prop
osition for the larger city through.
While the election was remarka oily
quiet affair in the various city wards, it
was more than ordinarily warm in the
outside precincts. The annexationists
there were the better organized. but the
opposition was too strong. The claim is
made that had the 500 odd votes at Yer
non been cast, the majority tor annexa-
tion would have been such as to carry
the proposition through against all Of the
com bined opposition Of the other three
suburban districts.
The Vernon Irrigation company. which
is composed OF land owners inside OF this
city, fought the proposition hard, the
majority of the voters in the precinct
being for annexation because of ths per-
picking water question which has heen
serious problem with the people of the
district for years.
Today the people or Highland park will
have their inning and the result OF yes
terday's election makes success of the
second round in the battle very doubt
full matter, even inside the city.
The city will have to foot all OF the bills
for both elections. The total cost of the
matinee will be in tie neighborhood of
81 900.
