CONVICTED THE HUNcHBAcK.
Charles AsimUs Found Guilty of Murder in
the First Degree for Killing Jack
Greenwood

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 27.-At Kalama,
Wash, last evening, in the case of Charles
Asimus for killing Jack Greenwood on
September q near Bushes Landing, the
Jury brought in a verdict, after twenty
four hours deliberation, finding the de-
PENDANT guilty, as charged, OF murder in
the first degree.
His attorneys will move for new trial,
but there seems 10 be very little hope of
getting it. Asimus is bunch back. The
question of his sanity was raised on the
grounds that the injury to his spine which
deIormed his back also affected his mind,
but there was no evidence to show that he
was not sane when he committed the mur-
der. Sentence was not passed and court
adjourned until November 81.
Asimus obtained judgment for a small
sum of money against Greenwood. and be-
cause he could not collect went 10 Green
woods place, demanded his money, and
NOT receiving it opened fire on Greenwood,
who was unarmed, shooting several times
after his victim had fallen. The hGnch-
back has never seemed TO realize the enor
nifty of his crime.

SAN DIEGO IMPROVEMENTS.
New Railway to Tia Junna and Additional
Irrigation Work Also in Pro-

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct 25.-Within
week trains will again run from this city
to Tia Juana, the gap caused by the floods
of last January having been closed by a
new road, built higher up above the flats.
The National City and Otay road has also
been completed to Sweetwater Dam, and
work on the enlargement of that structure
is also completed, the whole expense reach
ing several hundred thousand dollars.
All this is the work OF the San Diego
Land and Town Company. The engineers
of that company have several other i'm
provements of the great property in con-
temptation, which will be effected when
the financial affairs of the company are
adjusted
Another great work now going on in this
county is the construction of the lower
Otay dam, which will bring into cultiva-
ton several thousand acres of choice lemon
lands within few miles of the city. The
dam is more than half completed, and
when finished will impound several thou
sand inches of water.
The Southern California Mountain Water
Company is building the Otay dam, and
the city is now preparing to contract with
the same company for the acquisition of
the city water system, including the upper
Otay dam. Prospects are favorable for a
popular vote in favor of the contract, in
which case 81 800, 900 will be expended in
the dam, conduits and city distributing
system.

INVESTIGATORS.

BURNING MASS OF TREES
CAUSED COMBUSTION.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Oct. 81
The Mount Olympic volcano exploring
party returned this evening from five
days trip into the heart of that range.
They report that while the outburst is not
regular volcano, there is good ground for
the impression that fierce subterranean
confagration is in progress.
The examination made by the party was
necessarily circumspect owing to the in
tense heat and sitting smoke, but from
what could be discovered the explorers
have concluded that the puffs of smoke
alternating with flashes of fire, which were
plainly visible from here, result ted from
the consumption of huge vein of Ignite
coal, the outcroppings OF which have often
been reported. The deep gorges had in
time become filled with an impregnable
mass of fallen trees, and among these the
tire in some way started, and from this
intense heat the Ignite vein was ignted.
Even now puffs of smoke, not marked as
at first continue to issue from crevices in
the mountain, confirming the first theory
that explosions of coal gas occasioned the
fltful columns OF smoke and fire.
In brief, the interior of the mountain is
one molten mass. from which emanates a
terrific heat appreciate miles distant. The
perpetual snow, which in years past
crowned the peak, has melted away, and
the rivulets pouring upon the seething
furnace in the gorges fills the air with an
impenitrable steam

Nearly Four Hundred Acres Sold Within
the Past Week.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Oct. 27.-The
numerous sales of small farming tracts In
the vicinity of Santa Rosa have attracted
considerable attention from home-seekers.
Within the past week there have been sold
eleven pieces of farm land, aggregatlng
nearly 400 acres.
The good prices and steady market for
grapes and prunes have caused this in
creased demand for outside property.
Grapes realized S12 to $21 ton, giving an
income of $75 to 500 per acre for such
products. One orchardist sold twenty-five
tons of prunes from eight acres of ground
at cents a pound, making about $1,000
from his orchard.
Poultry is also an industry from which
handsome margins are realized, and per-
sons acquainted with this branch of small
farming are looking toward Santa Rosa for
profitable investments in this as in other
lines.
Climatic advantages and nearness to
market are further advantages that are
considered to the welfare OF purchasers.

Be RetoId in Court at San
Rer11r0in0

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Oct 81
Charles Button will again be placed on
trial on Monday for the murder of Gustave
Bohm. The murder was committed in
August, 1898, at a mining camp several
miles east of this city.
Button, Bohm and several other miners,
who were in camp at the time, had been
drinking heavily on the day when the
murder was committed. and in the evening
a quarrel took place. The evidence at the
last trial showed that when Bohm was
lying on the ground intoxicated Button
jumped upon him. stamping his face with
heavy boots and inticting serious in
juries.
Bntton then left for where his horse was
tied when Bohm assaulted him with a
hunting knife which was taken from him,
but he seized gun and renewed the at
tack.
Button, in the meantime, had armed
himself and secured the first shot, killing
Bohm instantly.
| when brought to trial. The prosecution
set up the theory that, owing to the pun
| lshment received, Bohm was incapable of
| Judging Buttons intentions, whether
| peaceable or otherwise; that Button was
responsible for the first attack and had no
right to kill Bohm when the latter still
believed that he must defend himself
Under these instructions the jury gave
verdict of manslaughter. A motion for
new trial was denied and an appeal to
the Supreme Court secured it. Button
| can now be tried for no graver charge than
manslaughter.

ley to induce the San Francisco and North
Pacific Coast Railroad to build branch
line to this point, in opposition TO the
North Pacific Coast Railroad, which now
enjoys monopoly of the trade.
The change in the timetable which went
into effect has caused great deal Of dis
satisfaction and many people have been
compelled to leave, as they are unable to
reside here and do business in the city on
account of the change.
A large number Of San Rafael people
have also complained and a petition was
sent to Manager Stetson, asking that the
early train be continued, but the new
timetable has gone into effect and the

HALFMOON BAY. CAL, Oct. 27.-The
recent survey of the line of the new cleo
trio railway, which is to run from San
Francisco down the coast to Santa Cruz,
has created good deal of interest here.
General W. II. H. Hart, president of the
company, is receiving much encourage
ment from the enterprising citizens of this
town and vicinity. The completion of the
road will be the means of attracting more
tourist travel here and popularizing HALF
moon Bay as seaside and mountain
resort.
With population of 700, six school
houses in the district having an average
enrolment of 400 pupils, and two
churches, Methodist and Catholic, the
foundation for progress is we'll laid. In
the line of industries there are three
creameries, q pillow factory, feedmill ten
general stores, two oil wells and news
paper, the Advocate.
The natural sulphur springs, two fine
summer resorts known as Seal Cove and
Moss Beach and three good hotels are
some of the attractions.
Levy Bros. operate two stage lines. one
running to Pescadero, eighteen miles
down the coast, the other to San Mateo,
fifteen miles distant over the mountains.
The scenery along these routes is inspiring
and is enjoyed by many tourists each
season. The new electric road will add to
the travel and Halfmoon Bay will soon
attract attention to something more than
it's name.

General MGceo Forced to Retreat Before a
Spanish Army.
BOSTON, MASS, Oct. pa dispatch to
d morning paper from Santiago de Cuba,
dated the oath, says:
During the last week the fighting in the
vicinity OF this city has been intermittent,
and practically the severest of the war thus
far. On Monday the regiments sent from
Havana TO strengthen the Spanish garrison
here arrived and the initiative was taken
at once. The rebels had taken advantage
of all the billy country, and had control of
all the highways and points of vantage.
On Tuesday General Robledo, brother
of Senior Romero Robeldo, the Minister of
Justice at Madrid, attacked a force of 1000
rebels, under Antoine Maceo in the hills to
the north of the city. The insurgents had
a very strong position and a powerful bat
terry, which mad been causing havoc of
late. The Spanish troops mum bered nearly
5000 men. and they had two field batteries.
The engagement began at daybreak, and,
although the insurgents artillery was very
destructive, it was not so much so as the
Spanish batteries. The woods were set on
fire by the shells in several places, and the
insurgents were obliged to retreat They
took up their stand in the Santa Rosa
Valley across the River Pintos, but were
unable to withstand the Spanish advance.
BY night they were in full retreat, with the
Spanish cavalry in hot pursuit.
The rebel loss is stated at 500 men, while
their whole magazine and stores fell into
the hands of the Spaniards.
Another dispatch, however, brings news
of a severe reverse met by the regulars on
the same day near Sabinica A small
Spanish force of 500 men engaged in
scouting expedition was caught in the cane
plantation by BODY of insurgents about
three times it's number. The regulars
made desperate fight, put were all either
killed or captured. Several soldiers who
later managed to escape and reach San
tiago de Cuba brought tales of cruelties
practiced on the prisoners. The insur-
gents are now overrunning the districts Of
Cosolacion del Sur, Palcios, Peso Real, San
Diego, Candelara and San Cristobeal, and
are making steady advances in the direc-

DROUGHT AT PORTLAND.
Bainy and Clear as Early Summer, the
Germs of Dread Disease Lurk
in the Atmosphere.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 27.-The present
month, in point of lack of rain, has been
the most phenomenal within the memory
of the traditional "oIdest inhabitant" of
Oregon. Throughout all of October the
atmosphere, temperature and sky have
been as balmy and clear as in the early
summer, and this unreasonable weather is
row breeding much sickness, particularly
in this city.
The grip and malarial fevers are on the
verge OF an epidemic, which is attributed
to the impurities in the dry atmosphere.
Should the rain hold off another fortnight,
very disastrous consequences are in store
for this locality.
From the interior come reports that
creeks are drying up and also that much
uncommon sickness prevails. More than
100 people, having lived here for twenty
five years or more, spoken to during the
week upon the subject, fail 10 recoIlect such
weather during any october.

LADY DOUGLAS AMBITION.
WANTS TO DISPEL THE ILLUSION
THAT SHE Is A MEDIOCRE
ACTRESS.
HAS No FEAR OF THE THREATENED
INJUNCTION TO PREVENT HER
APPEARANCE.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 27.-Regard-
ing the alleged numerous contracts re-
ported to have been entered into with diff
ferent theatrical agents and managers by
Lady Sholto Douglas, the little actress
said to-day:
'There is no contract existing between
myself and Mr.. Clayton or the Peoples
Theater in San Francisco, and as a proof
of it here is q letter from Mr.. Levy, who
was acting for Mr.. Clayton in the negotia-
tions, congratuIating me on my securing
an engagement with Mr.. Frawley's COM
pany. Regarding the contract with
Thompson & Shea of this city, who
threaten to enioin me from appearing to-
morrow night, we'll, here it is, specifying
that my engagement with them was to be-
gin on October Ia.
AFTER the contract was signed neither
Thompson nor Shea came near me until
after the 14th and utterly failed to send me
any instructions as to future engagements
After reading of my engagement with the
Frawley company one of them came to me
in an intoxicated condition and requested
me to enter into a new contract. This |
positively declined to do.
Il have splendid contract with Mr.
Frawley, and am studying now very hard.
| will have boys part in Hennequin's
comedy, The Three Hats later on. | am
delighted with the part, and think l will
be success IN it. / intend to be an artist
and efface the impression spread broadcast
that am only dive actress. California
NAV be proud of me yet"
Manager Frawley, when questioned
about his contract and the Injunction
threatened tomorrow, said:
Il think l am capable of looking after
Lady Shoto Douglas and her stage career.
She has developed splendid comedy talent,
and although she was so nervous on her
initial appearance with my company that
she lost her voice and nearly broke down,
she has done so we'll since that 1 have
every confidence in her. Messrs. Thomp-
son q Shea did have a contract with Lady
Douglas but they abrogated it by not jul
filling its requirements. They threaten to
prevent her from appearing tomorrow
night, but l don't think they will succeed
l am positive Lady Douglas has no con-
tract with the Peoples Theater. Next
week she will sing Little Red Riding
Hood, a new song by Ignacio Martinetti
of the 'Trilby' Company, who has been
coaching her IN it. On November IL Lady
Douglas will have her first speaking part
1 secured her through reading the article
and interview in THE CALL of the 18th and
found her just as she was about to sign a
contract with the Peoples Theater of San
Francisco. When San Francisco sees her
again it will be as a member of my COM
pany."

promised us a new station, but it has
never been built. | think with the proper
inducements we could get another road
and then with competition we might ex-
pect better service.
The other road referred to by Mr. Mar
tin is the Donohue line from Tiburon.
This road runs to a point about three
miles from Mill Valley, and to run a spur
track into the valley would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. The road would
commence at Reeds station and cross the
marsh near Alto station, on the line of the
North Pacific Coast road, thence parallel
with the county road running into Mill
Valley.
NJ. NJ. O'Shaughnessy, who owns large
piece of land near Eastlacd station, has
expressed himself in favor of giving it to
the Donohue road if they will run q
branch line.
