The WIFE WAS DRINKING WITH
ANOTHER MAN AND
WAS CAUGHT.
CHILDREN LEFT ORPHANS.
JEALOUSY WAS THE CAUSE, AND
WITH REVOLVER He Took
HER LIFE.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 25.-News comes
from Centralia of a horrible double tragedy.
A Ledger special says that J. A. Phillips,
logger, 30 years of age, shot and killed his
wife, Estella, at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
After writing note explaining the ira
gedy, he blew out his own brains. Both
died within an hour.
The affair grew out of Phillips jealousy
of his wife. Phillips had been at the log
ging camp during the week and returned
unexpectedly. Shortly after his arrival his
wife came from town accompanied by q
young man named Jap Bowen. She went
into the house leaving Bowen at the gate.
She had scarcely stepped across the
threshold before neighbor heard shots.
When first seen Phillips stood in the
doorway with a revolver pointing at
Bowen, who was running away. Three
more shots were heard and the neighbors
rushed to the house and broke in the door,
which was locked. Mrs Phillips lay gasp
ing in pool of blood on the floor. she
had been shot in the arm and again through
the left temple.
Phillips was on the bed, holding the
revolver in his hand. He had sent a bullet
crashing through his BRAIN On the table
lay d nue. SiShcu py L u1lllpS, winch READ
as follows: "As 1 can't live without
my wife, 1 have taken this way to
keep her with me. We have no
friends to mourn us, and let this be a les
son to all not to fool with other mems
wives. Good-by to what friends 1 have.
Get us into the ground as soon as you can"
Mrs. Phillips had borne good reDuta-
ton, but it is said she had been drinking
in the back room of a saloon with Bowen
before going home. She had two children,
but these Phillips gave away ten days ago,
and on that occasion his wife tried to COM
nit suicide with morphine.
The couple were stricken with poverty,
and the miserable little house in which
the tragedy occurred presented pitiabe
spectacle when the neighbors broke in.

JUDGE MYRICK Was ANGRY
MISS TREADWELL SAYS SHE
NEVER ENGAGED HIM AS
HER ATTORNEY.
He REFUSED A SETTLEMENT, BUT
THE COURT ALLOWED HIM
$500.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 25.--Judge Reynolds to-
day heard the final account of DR.. C. w.
Breyfogle as guardian of the estate of
Thalia Treadwen. The young lady has
reached her majority and DR.. Breyfogle
now asks to be discharged.
The guardian was put upon the stand
and testified as TO the items of his ac-
counts. They showed that about $50, 900
mad passed through his hands during his
incumbency. No objection was made to
the accounts, and Miss Treadwell then
stated that she considered $500 reason
able amount to allow Or. Bresfogle for his
trouble.
Judge Myrick of Myrick q Deering, San
Francisco, then presented claim. He said
he had appeared in the Supreme Court in
the interest of Miss TreadwelI, and had
made numerous visits TO this city on her
business. He refused to appraise his SER
vices. saying he had fixed too many fees
himself for other lawyers to care now to
suggest his own compensation to Judge.
He intimated that $3.50 would be low
figure for the work done in the Supreme
Court.
Judge Reynolds said an attorney was
the one best fitted to place a value on his
own services, but he considered $3.50 was
reasonable for work in the higher court
He asked Miss Treadwell what she thought
about the matter.
81 don't think / ever employed Judge
Myrick TO do all these things he says she
said. 81 went to his Office and told him if I
wanted him 1 would telephone 1 never
retained him.
THAT is all new to me-" exclaimed
Myrick, his color evidently rising.
II am inclined to think" said Judge
Reynolds, 'that this is matter which
Miss Treadwell can either recognize or re-
pudiate. 1t lies wholly with her, and you
must hand in your claim and have a settle
ment with her."
81 will accept no settlement" said
Myrick. 81 will send in no claim, and
after to-day would accept no settlement /"
Judge Reynolds said, after thinking it
over, he had come to the conclusion that
Judge Myrick was entitled to $3.50 for his
services in the Supreme Court Judge
Myrick left the courtroom, intimating he
would never accept the $3.50.
In few moments he returned and Judge
Reynolds asked him if he had anything to
say as to why his claim should be allowed.
Judge Myrick said his visits to San Jose
were in connection with the case in the Su-
preme Court. In that case Judge Reynolds
thought he was entitled to $3.50 more, and
an order was made allowing him $500.
Miss Treadwell vigorously objected to
this, saying that if she did employ Myrick
she was then minor and had no right to
do so
G. D. Wright who has acted as attorney
for the guardian, was allowed $3.50 for his
services.
DR.. Breyfogle's resignation was pre-
sented, but was not acted upon.

This MEANS A RATE War.
THE ATCHISON ROAD MAKES ACUT
EASTWARD FROM Los
ANGELES.
BLOW TO THE TRUNK-LINE
COMMITTEE.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.--The Atchison road
has given notice that beginning Wednes-
day next it will reduce one-way rates from
Los Angeles East by 81 90. The cut is
openly made, according to the Atchison,
because the other lines have for some time
been making it in connection with the sale
of tickets over the Texas Pacific road.
The cut has been diverting business from
the Atchison, and that road has made up
its mind that it could not longer stand such
conditions. The action of the Atchison has
been heavy blow to the Western Trunk
Line committee just as it is prepared to go
into active operation.
All the connections of the Texas Pacific
deny in strongest terms that they have
had any share in the cut, and the Alton
and one of the lines accused of being in
with the Texas Pacific has shown conclu-
sively that it has not had a Texas Pacific
ticket within the interval in which the cut
is said to have been made. All manner of
heavy pressure is being brought to bear on
the Atchison to induce it to rescind its ac-
ton, but so far nothing has been accom-
plished.
Los ANGELES, Feb. 25.-The action of the
Sante Fe in announcing cut of 81 so in
second-class passenger rates has not pro-
voked any retaliatory measures on the part
of the Southern Pacific. For the present
the latter road stands pat, but it is hard to
say what the next few days may bring
forth. HI. E. Huntington, assistant to the
president OF the road at San Francisco, will
be in the city tomorrow, and probably
something will be decided upon at the con-
ference to be held with the local officers.
1t is certain, however. that if the plan
decided upon by the Santa Fe is carried
into effect and the cut in rates is put into
effect Wednesday there will be war of
rates which in all probability will again
disorganize the passenger traffic of all the
Western lines.

Speeches were made by Messrs. Adolph
and Walsh, and G.. w. Baker, who ap-
peared as attorney for the association,
made an extended argument. He was
asked if the bill passed would it not be
recognition of the liquor traffic by the
State, which would prevent supervisors or
town authorities from prohibiting its sale.
He declared that it would not. The
committee held, however, that it would.
Quite a delegation of ladies opposed to
the liquor traffic were in attendance to use
their influence against the bill. The COM
mittee decided to make an adverse report
on the measure.

asked of the murderer to-day in the Santa

from the courtroom.
"Well, [ hardly know" he answered,

tfOUo from du1Cutts
CHICAGO, Feb. PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
"All of the persons who have been
given the privilege of leaving the Ha-
wailan Islands for the good of the re-
public" said Minister Thurston, 'have
been foremost in stirring up trouble
among the Kanakas in the past, and with
their withdrawal from Honolulu there
will be marked change in the condition
OF affairs. Such men as A. P. Peterson,
Charles Creighton and A. Redward, who
have been prominent in politics, have
always had certain following composed
OF the most lawless elements at Homo
lulu. None of the natives would ever
have attempted to create the disturbance
directed against the Government save
that the white men inspired them to do
1t. They were then left to bear the brunt
OF the consequences of their actions,
their alleged leaders keeping out of dan
ger as much as possible. What is to be
done with Mrs. Dominis, Nowlein and
Robert Wilcox has not been communicated
to me by the home Government as vet,
the court-martial not having agreed upon
the form of sentence to be imposed upon
them. Most assuredly, however some
thing definite will be decided upon before
the close of this month, inasmuch as the
majority OF the prisoners have been tried
or permitted to escape this ordeal upon
promising to leave Hawaii. If we can get
rid of some of the ringleaders of the revo-
luton permanently there will be little or
no trouble in the future, for our people
seem disposed to acknowledge the republic
and the complete overthrow of the royal
lists Such is the tenor of communications
made to me from public and private
sources of information, and affairs are get
ting quieter and more settled every day. 1t
is likely my next mailpouch from Homo
lulu will bring the final decree of the court
in the cases already tried, and until then it
will not be known what is to be the fate of
the law-breakers who have been incarcer-
ated under orders from Dole and the Ad-

MASKED MEN CUT OFF THE WRONG
CAR AND FAIL TO SECURE
PLUMBER.
DARING WORK IN A PASS.
THEY CARRIED DYNAMITE IN A
SACK, BUT FLED BEFORE TRY
ING TO USE IT.

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 25.-When the west
bound Southern Pacific overland train
reached Stems Pass tonight shortly after
6 O'Clock, two masked men appeared on
the station platform armed with six
shooters.
One of then got into the engine and
covered the fireman and engineer, while
the other commanded brakeman to cut
off the car next to the engine and tender,
and as soon as this was done the engineer
was ordered to proceed.
When they had gone about three miles
they stopped. The bandits carried a sack
full of what appeared to be dynamite.
This they placed beside the road bed
when the engine stopped and then discov-
cred that they had left the express-car be-
hind.
The bandits INDUCED in considerable
strong language and then, mounting
horses that were fastened to tree near by,
they rode to the south. The engine and
car returned to the rest of the train.
The passengers, as is always the case,
were scared nearly to death. Many crawled
under their seats and remained there un-
til assured that the danger was over.
Southern Pacific Detective Breckenridge
left here at IL o'clock tonight for the scene
of the hold-up. He is of the opinion that
the attempted robbery was not committed
by the two men who held up the overland
several weeks ago at Wilcox. He says
that the holdup was the work of very
