human Treatment on q Chilean
Bark

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct 2S-In the per-
sonal libel case of Louis Bolden, a negro,
against the Chilean ship Atacama and
Captains Jensen and Mclean, Federal
Judge Hanford this afternoon awarded the
plaintiff $500 and costs for injuries re-
ceived at the hands of the defendants while
the vessel was en- route from Valparaiso to
Puget Sound. 1t was claimed that Bolden,
who was member OF the crew, had been
mutinous. Mclean, one of the alleged
owners OF the vessel, and Jensen, the mas
ter, placed the sailor in irons, and accord
ing to the evidence subjected him to the
most lnhuman treatment.
When the Atacama was libeled at Port
townsend early in September Captains
Mclean and Jensen refused to give bail
and went to jail, where they are at pres
ent: Both are disposed to make an inter
national affair of the matter, Captain Nc
Lean claiming to be British subject and
merely passenger on the boat, while his
brother prisoner proclaims allegiance to
Norway. There has already been much
correspondence between this country and
Chile, where the Atacama is owned. and
also with the Norwegian Government

RED WOOD ESTATE CASE.
Partial distribution of the Late Acme
Boscie's Property Ordered,

Partial Distribution of the Late Agnes
Bo'cie's Property Ordered
REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Oct. 28.-Tbe
application for distribution of the estate
of Agnes Bowie, deceased, was heard in
court here to-day. Three of the petition
ing heirs, represented by Harold Wheeler
as counsel, asked for a distribution, while
two of the heirs represented by Duncan
and Bruton Hayne, raised material OBJ
lection concerning certain water rights of
value and over which there is conflict of
opinion. The point involved is whether
certain concessions granted by the Spring
Valley Water Works ran with the land and
should be partitioned, or whether the
water rights are appurtenant to the land,
the joint property of all the heirs and in
indivisible.
Accounts in settlement of the estate were
then filed and distribution ordered as TO
all the property except the portion in dis
pute, that part being held subject to fur
ther consideration. 1t is believed that all
differences between the persons in interest
will be adjusted out of court and that to-
day proceedings virtually amount to a
final distribution.

A MOB SURROUNDS THE JAIL AND
CALLS FOR MURDERER
HOBART.
HELD AT BAY BY ARMED DEPUTIES
AND FINALLY INDUCED TO
DISPERSE.

PRESCOTT, AR1z., Oct. 2S.-Hobarr, the
murderer of John Miller in this city, was
captured by Sheriff Ruttiner yesterday at
Mayors Station, thirty miles south. He
was brought 10 Prescott to-day and lodged
in Jail.
A crowd surrounded the jail tonight
and called for vengeance upon the MUIR
derer. The Sheriff Immediately placed an
extra force of armed deputies around the
prison and warned the mob that he would
fire upon it if an attempt to pass the door
was made.
For two hours the mob kept up it's
clamor, but the absence of a leader and
the fear OF the deputies finally resulted in
the abandonment of the lynching scheme.
and at IL o'clock the crowd broke up and
dispersed.
Hobart admits the killing of Miller, and
says it was the frenzied action of drunken
man. He was wounded in the arm by one
of the posse in his pursuit.

FOR STANFORD'S MUSEUM
AN EXPEDITION TO START ON A
CENTRAL AMERICA FISHING
EXCURSION.
UNIVERSITY "Co-EDs" ORGANIZE A
DEBATING CLUB-THE GLEE
CLUB FORMED.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct
28.-Dr. Charles H. Gilbert, professor OF
zoology, has completed his preparations
tor making an extended collecting trip
throughout Central America, but prin-
clpally about Panama. The object of the
expedition is to add to Stanford's already
large collection of fishes Two Or three
OF these parties go out each year and here
tofore they have proved decided success.
DR.. Gilbert spent some months in Central
America several years ago and collected a
valuable assortment Of specimens for the
University of Indiana, but the entire lot
was destroyed by fire.
Professor Gilbert is thoroughly familiar
with the regions he is to visit and stated
that the field was very rich one. He will
be gone about two months and will be
accompanied by three students in the de-
partment. So far but one of these for
tunate students has been named. e. c..
Starks IS the man. He has already been
on several OF these tours and is well posted
on marine life.
The expenses of these expeditions are
borne by Timothy Hopkins, who, how
ever, is partly repaid by the orders for Sc
rles OF extra specimens from other univer-
stiles and museums. All curioSitieS are
brought to Stanford and are studied and
reported on before any OF them are sent to
other museums. This will be the second
winter expedition to be made. Last winter
DR.. Jordan and party left for Mazatlan and
were gone six weeks.
To a CALL representative DR.. Gilbert said ::
"On these trips we depend chiefly on
local fishermen, who, for small consider
alton, will lay aside all peculiar fishes for
us; but as there are many specimens of
marine life that fishermen never bring we
go prepared with nets and all other para
phernalia incident to the making of large
collection. We expect to do a great deal
of fishing ourselves"
The Stanford Glee Club has at last an
nounced its composition, the following
gentlemen being successful in their at
tempt to get places in the club: First
tenors-Weldon, Sewall and Sutherland
second tenors-Decker, Wigle, Bush and
Schneider or Mcneil; first bassos-Abbott,
Young, Pinkham and Dillon; second
bassos-Kaufman, King, Schlak and Coch-
ran or Snipes. The club is practicing
faithfully, and notwithstanding the loss of
several of its best voices this year it will
be in creditable shape by the time its SER
vices are first called into use.
Several young women on Saturday even
ing formed a debating and literary society,
to be known as the Saturday might Club.
This is the first organization of its kind
here, and the only debating club at which
'co-eds' are admitted The Alpha for
merry admitted men and women on equal
footing, but at its reorganization ''co- eds"
were ruled out, and have had no chance
since to display their oratoricaI abilities
until this club came into existence. The
members are to devote themselves to dis
cussions of current topics and literary sub
iects in general.

HAD FIRST PLANNED TO KILL THE
WILLIAMS FAMILY WITH
DYNAMITE.
EXPECTED PAY FROM ANOTHER.
THE JURY CoMMENDS SHERIFF
ORME FOR HAVING SHOT THE
ASSASSIN.

PHOENIX, ARIZ., Oct. 29.-An inquest
was held to-day at Mesa over the body OF
Dr. J. NJ. Rose, the midnight assassin,
killed by Sheriff Orme Saturday night.
The verdict was that Rose came to his
death while trying to assassinate DR.. c. j..
Williams and wife and Mrs Mary Rose,
the wife of the de ceased, and that the
shooting by the Sheriff was simply in
commendable discharge of official duty.
The testimony at the examination was
of startling interest. Burt, the in
former, was the main witness. He said
1t had been at first determined to blow
up the Williams home. Twelve sticks of
dynamite brought by Rose from Yuma
were placed under the floor, beneath the
bed Of the two women. Later the plan
was abandoned because of the risk of cap
ture by the crowd the explosion would
bring, and the dynamite was removed
brought to Phoenix and here buried. Rose
had insisted that while he personally would
be benefited by the death of the three
persons, there was another man who would
make $4,000 by the deal and who had
offered $4,000 to have it done.
Suppose he doesn't pay US, though pr
Burt had inquired
Then We'll kill him." answered Rose.
"Ahl" reioined Burt, ''then we would
have killed four persous for glory"
On this indefinite showing Burt turned
informer. Mrs. Rose, the widow of the
dead man, told the story of her marriage
with Rose three years ago, and OF their
residence in Arkansas, where Rose was a
successful practicing physician. He COM
mitted a felony there and fed, and after
she and her parents removed to Arizona
he traced them here. He had threatened
her life, and was jealous of a dentist
named Doss, whom he also threatened to
kill.
Mrs. Rose is highly educated and self
possessed woman of 26 years and told her
story concisely. She ana Burt, by their
testimony, implicated as party to the
attempted assassination a sister of Rose,
who is now in Phoenix.
Sheriff Orme and DR.. Williams told the
story Of the shooting. Burt had passed
to the inside of the room, ostensibly to
kill Williams, and Rose was standing with
horseshoe hammer, ready to brain the
occupants of the bed, who had been re-
placed by dummies. He failed to throw
up his hands when ordered and after re-
peating the command and waiting several
seconds Orme fired both barrels of a shot
gun loaded with buckshot into Roses

A Phoenix Lawyer Clears the Mystery Sur
rounding the Death of Farmer
Gree1

PHOENIX, ARIZ., Oct 28.-The body of
John Green, a Graham County farmer, was
found four years ago, partly cremated, on
a lonely mountain trail southeast of
Phoenix. The body was disinterred to-day
by District Attorney Jones of Graham
County, who has at last succeeded in get
ting to the bottom of what was at first a
dense mystery.
Green, it is now known, was murdered
by his partner, Follett. after the latter
had succeeded, in some way, in securing
correct deeds to Green's ranch. Green had
been shot from behind through the head
and his body then tossed into a big camp
tlre. Follett afterward returned to Ora
ham County and took possession of the
| property, soon selling it and going to
Europe.
Jones has no doubt of FoIlett's guilt and
VIII seek to have him traced and returned,
ana Will institute action to restore the
property to Green's lawful heirs.

SANTA ROSA ISLAND WRECKS.
Remnants of the Crown of Enqiond Recov-
eTed-The Last of the Great
Ship GoSford

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Oct. 2S.-
captain McGinn, formerly master of the
wrecklng scow San Pedro, left here this
morning on the schooner Cleone, bound
Tor Santa Rosa Island, where he will take
on cargo OF wreckage gathered by his
men from the Crown of England, which
Will be carried to San Francisco. While
on the island the captain will make a
thorough survey of the wreck, with view
to future operations.
The captain states that there is no longer
any visible sign of the wreck of the Cos
1ord, the great coal ship lost on the coast
IN the vicinity of Gaviota nearly two years
ago. For a year and half the Gosford,
with It's hull apparently intact and masts
erect, lay on the rocks in the vicinity, in
constant sight of all coast vessels 1t was
valuable ship, and it is estimated that
ef1clent work at any time during this
period might easily have saved its owners
from $40,O to $50 900 worth of material,
for the Gosford was comparatively easy of
access. But for some extraordinary rea-
son no attempt was ever made to save any
portion OF the ships block and tackle or
any, part OF its hull, and it has now gone
to the bottom
