The report that the Mallard Club has
forced its ark through the gate to
the Teal Club Enclosures is ground
less. No attempt has been made
to gain admittancs. The ark is located
outside the Huntington preserve, claimed
by the Teal Club. Action will probably
be brought against the latter club for
blockading navigable waters.
This slough is unquestionably navi.
gable one, and it is stated the water is
fully twenty feet deep, with regular ebb
and flow tide. The club however, claims
the slough is not navigahle.
Although strong feeling prevails re-
garding the barricading of the soughs, no
violent steps have as yet been resorted to.

tempt this afternoon he broke the record,
covering the mile in 1:47 fat.
But Foster was not satisfied with this,
and after short rest he again came out
on the track with quad team, manned
by Afford, Davis, Jones and Dow. After
going mile TO warm up they went to
work to break their former record. The
quad team worked like machinery, and
sent the big 109-geared wheel over the track
with marvellous speed; but the plucky
Foster never wavered, and he led them all
the way around. Coming into the
stretch with squirt that would have done
credit to the speediest of locomotives he
left the quad and dashed under the tape
unattended, making the mile in the re-
markably fast time of LAG 3-5. The quar-
ter was made in :25H, the half in so, the
three-quarters in 30.
Foster is not satisfied even now with his
performance. Wishing to reduce it below
l:45 he has therefore had his sanction ex-
tended until October 81, and will remain
IN Napa next week and go for the mile rec
ord again. Foster can surely ride several
seconds faster if he can get the pacing.

FOUND DOUBLED UP SCARCELY
TWO FEET BENEATH THE
EARTH.
PIERCED BY THREE BULLETS.
A CoRoNER's JURY Is STILL INvEs-
TIGATING THE MANNER OF
HIS DEATH.

UKIAH, CAL, Oct. 19-Arrivals from the
Round Valley and Mad River country
were numerous during the past week. The
latest advices from there are to the effect
that the inquest on the body of Jack
Littlefield, who was hanged by mob while
in the custody of officers OF the law, was
being held. Rumors concerning the affair
are numerous. 1t is evident that most OF
them are circulated to prejudice the public
mind in favor of one or the other OF the
rival ranchers.
1t is definitely learned that Sheriff Tom
+. Bergin, accompanied by ex-Sheriff
Bowie and Deputy Sheriff Box, all Trinity
County officers, and Sheriff Johnson of this
county, made a thorough investigation OF
the affair; in fact all are still busy with
the matter. A Coroner's jury empaneled
at Weaver was taken to the scene of the
ARRAY. There Littlefield's body was
exhumed. Three bullets were found, two
in the breast and one in the neck.
Those in the breast were made by 49,
caliber bullets, and that in the neck was
inflicted by 45-caliber revolver. 1t is a
significant fact that in all that country
only one pistol is known to carry such a
bullet as that which caused the wound in
the neck.
The hole in which Littlefeld had been
dumped was probably four feet long. The
body was almost doubled up when found.
His hat was thrown over the face. The
body was buried only a couple of feet
under ground. After the jury viewed the
body, it was placed in coffin and decently
inferred.
The jury, accompanied by the officers,
then went to Weaver to take evidence in
the case.
Sheriff Bergin of Trinity is making every
effort to trace the participants. Tonight it
was asserted by reliable persons that ar
rests are to be made at once, but it is rot
known here who the suspects are. 1t is
claimed that John and B. w. Van Horn
are among the number. The inquest is
being held 100 miles from here and sixty
miles from the nearest telegraph Office, so
particulars are hard to get.
Joe Gregory, accused of an assault upon
Jack" Llttlefeld several months before
he was lynched, was to-day acquitted by
the jury after brief trial.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct Ex-Governor
Budd is at his home again. He has been
spending some time at Alta and Towles,
well up in the Sierras, and his visit to the
mountains has restored his old-time vigor.
He will remain here until next Monday
when he will return to Sacramento. In
about a week he will visit the southern
part of the State, in response to a telegram
received this morning. While in the south
he will inspect the various State institu-
lions there; but the principal object of his
visit will be to look into the affairs of the
Sixth Agricultural district. Some charges
of mismanagement have been made, but
the Governor would not divulge their ex-
act nature.
The executive said, in reply to a ques-
ton, that he had not yet made up his mind
with reference to the removal of Bank
Commissioners Kilburn, MCGEE and Full
Ter. He added:
"a mass Of information has been laid
before me by Attorney Clunie, who repre-
sents the creditors of the MERGED bank,
and by number of others. I am now

NOT ALONE PRACTICE,
A Man From Stowe Who
Has a Few Remarks
to Make.
Worthy Fair Hearing, Because He
Is Honest.

'Practice makes perfect" is proverb On
old that it may be said to be trite. That il
does help skill to perform any given thing
will not readily be disputed, but there are
still some of the ''old school" so biooted
that they will aver, and that, too, with an
evident air of sincerity, that all a man
wants in this world-no matter what his
trade or profession may be-is "plentv Of
experience and practice" But modern
science has blown all these theories to the
four winds of heaven like chaff A good
groundwork of education is, of course.
necessary, and a great amount of skill
must back up both that and experience in
order to accomplish the best results A
plain case in evidence is that of the famous
Hudson Medical Institute (the most cele-
brated curative establishment on this con-
tinent, if not in the world), whose physi-
clans have made such record for the cure
of all durable diseases. They have had the
foundation of the most perfect educations
that has been backed up by their selection
by the management for their acknowl1
edged skill, and OF course their experience
is far greater than any twenty, or even
more, physicians in private practice coulds
have. 1t is plain to any man who ever has,
gone to them for treatment. Perhaps one
example of this is sufficient here. Mr.. K.
@. Taft was suffering from very serious
disease when he applied to the specialists
at the institute, but is now strong and well.
That he saw skill as well as practice is
clearly shown by the following letter:

Mr.. Taft shows his appreciation clearly
in this sound, common-sense view OF his

AN ATTEMPT TO SET ASIDE THE
Los ANGELES PRESBYTERY'S
RULING.
PLEADING HIS OWN CAUSE.
JUDIcIARY-RooM OF THE SYNOD
TRANSFORMED INTO A COURT
OF JUSTICE.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 19.-The number
OF complaints. appeals, transcripts and
books upon ecclesiastical law which
crowded the desk of DR.. W. B. Noble,
chairman of the Judiciary commission of
the Presbyterian Synod, in the lecture
room of the First Presbyterian Church to-
day, gave it decidedly legal appearance.
At one side of the room were seated Rev.
Burt Estes Howard, pastor, and II. T. Cor
don, elder of the First Presbyterian Church
OF Los Angeles who appeared as appellants
from decree of the Los Angeles Presby-
terry, which had suspended them from mem
bership for alleged characterization, and
opposite were seated Revs. w. Henderson,
W. 2. Craig, R. II. Hartley and w. J..
chichester, who appeared as counsel for
the respondents, the Los Angeles Presby-
terry. Rev. E. III. jerks was appointed
clerk and Rev. G. W. Lyon reading clerk.
Around the room were seated the twelve
commissioners who are to decide the ques-
ton at issue.
The complaint of j. K Hoffman against
the Los Angeles Presbytery was first
called. Upon motion it was decided to
defer this case until after the appeal of
WV Il IoleS IlOWdIQ, LIE suspended
pastor of the church, had been disposed of.
The appeal was read by Rev Mr.
Howard, who acted as his own counsel
Counsel for the defense moved dismissal
on technical grounds. The motion was
denied.
The appellant then sought to introduce
the records of the Los Angeles Presbytery
to show that that body had exceeded it's
jurisdiction. Counsel for the defense OBJ
jected, but the objection was overruled.
When the records of the proceedings be-
fore and at the time of the suspension of
Rev. Mr.. Howard were sought, it was
found that they were not at hand. This
stopped the trial of this case until these
papers could be secured.
The complaint of appeal of Elder H. T.
Gordon against the ruling of the Los
Angeles Presbytery was not taken up. Mr..
Gordon wished to have Rev. Burt Estes
Howard act as his counsel, but this was
objected to by the defense, who claimed
that, as Howard had been suspended, he
was not a mem Der of the Synod, and the
appellant could only select counsel from
members of that body.
The matter was discussed by many, but
the commission finally decided to sustain
the objection.
Mr.. Gordon regretted this action, as he
said it places him at disadvantage before
the commission, but he proceeded to pre-
sent his own case.
When the complaint and appeal were
read, counsel for the defense moved to dis
miss on the ground that complaint and
appeal were misjoined. This objection was
sustained, but Gordon was allowed to
amend his paper SO as to read simple
complaint"
The counsellor the defense then main

Commissioners? ?" was asked.
"That is a question that / am not vet
certain about. I shall submit the matter
formally to the Attorney-GeneraI if find
that the facts warrant my removing them
from Office. l have talked with him in
formally on the subject, but have asked
for no opinion as yet"

is that you have the power of removal,
will you take steps at once to Dust them
from office?'
Eyes, shall probably do So" was the
Governors answer, that is, of course, ii
the facts show that they ought to be re-
moved"
In speaking of the rewards offered by
him for the apprehension of lynchers,
Governor Budd seemed very much pleased
with the results growing out of the recent
proclamation.
"The other day." he said, "Secretary
McCabe received letter regarding the
capture OF one of the Tehama County
lynchers. 1t contains information which
leads us to believe that six or seven more
who were engaged in the same crime will
be arrested and convicted"

STARVING nv ALASKA.
Government Aid in escuing Stranded Miners
camped on Cooks Inlet Is
fnnprnfiye

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 9.-Intelligence
received here to-day says that the neces-
sity of Government aid in rescuing the
stranded miners now camped on Cooks In
let, Alaska, is imperative. The men are
penniless, and it is not probable that any
private vessel or owners will under
take relief expedition through philan-
throplc motives. The men must therefore
look to the United States for aid, and that
should be immediate. There are now
three or four revenue cutters on Puget
Sound, any one of which could be dis
patched to the scene within two days after
receiving orders
Persons who have never visited Alaska
can form no idea of the terrible jungle of
forests and underground covering the
mountainous sleeps of that country, the
interstices of the timber being filled with a
dense mat of creeping vegetation, through
which in many places it is impossible for a
man to cut his way. There are now be-
tween 200 and 800 of these men, nearly all
native Americans, in desperate straits, and
unless Uncle Sam goes to their aid most of
them will perish before the winter is well
over.

T,co 0uarrymem Quarrel and One Gets a
Ballet an the Neck.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Oct. 19.-Franb
Mccain of San francisco and Joseph
Boylan, workmen at the basalt quarry
quarreled at the Halfway saloon, five
miles out from Santa Rosa, on the
Sonoma road, last night, and Mccain
shot Boylan through the neck. The
wound is a dangerous one.
Mccain fed, but was captured to-day
on the Calistoga road by Deputy Sheriff
Weise. He was arraigned this afternoon
on charge of attempting murder.
Mccain claims that Boylan tried to rot
him, while the injured man declares the
shooting was done without provoeation
One story of the trouble has it that the
men. after drinking a good deal, started
out OF the saloon together, when McCanr
fell off the doorstep. He accused Boylan
of striking him. Boylan replied, 81 would
rather have man take shot at me than
to accuse me of hitting him when he was
not looking"
And Mccain, so the story goes, pro-
ceeded to accede to Boylan's preference by
unloading 3S-caliber pistol at him.

tanned that the complainant, according &c
! the rules of the church. had no standing
because he was not subject TO the judlcla-
| tory of which he complained, and. FUR
ther, that he was under charges at the
time of making the complaint.
This objection thoroughly aroused the
| Indignation of Judge Thornton, and he
censured the defense severely for wishing
to throw the case out of court upon its
simple statement OF disputed assertion
without an investigation of the truth OF
the matter
He maintained that the appellant could
be submissive to the presbytery without
being submissive to its decisions. He said
1t was an outrage to assume that the judg-
ment of the lower court was binding until
it was decided by a higher court to be
unconstitutional.
A majority of the commission decided to
deny the objection of the defense. n. T.
Gordon then began to read the part of the
records OF the presbytery relative TO his
suspension.
These records go back through a long
list OF meetings and discussions, showing
that trouble has been brewing between the
First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles
and the presbytery for some time. Mr..
Thornton was reading these records when
the commission adjourned at 80 o'clock
until tomorrow morning.
The session of the synod tonight was
devoted to discussions by Rev. II. c. Min
ton of San Francisco on Home Mis-
sions," and Rev. John Hemphin of San
Francisco on Foreign Missions"

Donald of Sacramento presided over the
meeting.
The attention of DR.. Robert Mackenzie,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of
San Francisco, was tonight called to a
published statement that he contemplated
reslgnlng his pastorate. Dr. Mackenzie
said:
