 SAN BERNARDINo, Cal, March h. James P. Medlin was shot in the left arm by William Taber at Cajon last evening. Death resulted from the wound about o'clock. Taber and Medlin were good friends, living on ad- joining farms. Medlin invited Taber and his wife and one or two neighbors to a Sunday dinner. Taber's wife cooked the dinner, and after the meal the men, Medlin, Taber and Sam Holt went to a Frenchman's not far away and drank wine together.
 On their return a quarrel arose be- tween Taber and Medlin about what no one seems to know. Taber became greatly excited and ran on ahead of the others. Soon after Sam Holt saw him returning with dou ble barrelled shot gun.
 Coming up with Medlin he fired both barrels cutting off the forearm of the left arm. After the shooting Medlin said, "Taber 1 won't let any one know you shot me for the sake of you wife,"
 Holt hastened away for help leaving Medlin alone as Taber and his wife left at once. Before any one reached the wounded man again he had crawled 300 yards into the brush bleeding copiously all the time.
 Some blankets were thrown under him and he lay on the ground all night dying about two o'clock in the morning of hemorrhage. Taber has not yet been apprehended.

A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
John Ward Thrown from Carriage by Runaway
Horse and Seriously Injured.

One OF the worst runaways in Augusta
for many months occurred, Thursday
afternoon, on Union street, as the people
were going home from the base ball game,
resulting in serious if not fatal Injuries tc
Mr.. John Ward
AS the teams and foot passengers were
leaving the grounds, horse attached to
an open wagon, the outfit belonging to
John Burns of Hallowcll, dashed around
the track, and into the driveway. AT the
gate the team collided with a carriage,
which was somewhat damaged
The frightened beast kept on and when
opposite the residence of DIR. A. G. Young,
collided with the accommodation carriage
driven by John Ward, and occupied by
himself, e. c. Dudley, Thomas Leigh,
Jr, DIR. d. p. LeClair and X. Courte
manche.
Mr.. Ward was told that runaway was
close in the rear and commenced to pull
out, but just as he did SO the wagon at
tached to the runaway horse caught the
wheel of his carriage and in an instant
upset it, throwing Mr.. Ward violently to
the ground.
Mr.. Dudley, Mr.. Leigh and Mr.. Courtc-
manche jumped out, but DIR. LeClair was
caught under the top of the carriage being
released by Mr.. conference.-the
After overturning Wards carriage the
horse went but short distance before
being stopped by George Baker of the
Remedies, without doing further damage
Mr.. Wards carriage was very badly
smashed, as was Mr.. Burns The gentle
men in Mr.. Wards carriage escaped with
out injury but were considerably shaken
up.
The most serious of the whole affair
was the injuries Mr.. Ward sustained.
When the carriage was righted he was
found PROSTATE and insensible, and at first
it was thought the was dying.
Doctors Young, Harris, lie Clair and
Croker were soon busy rendering him
medical aid, but it was half an hour be
fore he was restored sufficiently to be
taken to his home on School street
Last evening, Journal man called at
the house and learned that Mr.. Ward was
n great pain and only partially conscious
Doctors Croker and lie Clair were pre-
sent and informed the reporter that as far
as they had examined no bones were
broken. The trouble seemed to be almost
wholly from conclusion, but they were
unable to determine, last night, the full
extent of his injuries.

NupoIeon's Prediction.
Norfolk Ledger)

In 1902 when President jefferson sent
commissioners to Paris TO treat for the
purchase OF Louisiana, which had been
coded by Spain to France two years be-
fore. he found that Napoleon was more
than willing to sell the territory then
known as Louisiana TO the United states.
Indeed he was anXious- TO do so. ana
the ease with which the commissioners
effected their purpose was due. In part,
to the desire OF Napoleon to see mari
time nation established which would be
able to cope with Great Britain FOR con-
troll of the seas. After the papers re-
IatIng TO the transfer had been signed,
Napoleon is reported as saying that by
selling Louisiana to the United States
he had been instrumental in assisting
the growth of a power which one day
would prove Great Britain's most formi-
dable rival on the ocean.
Since the war OF 1872 nothing has &C.
Cured TO cause the United States to
develop their resources with view TO
disputng the control OF the sea with any
European nation, but IL may be that
the cloud which is now appearing In the
direction OF Venezuela may produce a
change which will prove that Napoleon
saw farther into the future than most
men of his day when he parted with his
vast possessions on this continent for the
sum of si5.Oo0.O00
Should the necessity arise, the
United States could with its vast re-
sources which are greater than those OF
ans other nation on the face of the globe
chase and construct navy which
would so cripple England's colonial policy
as would prove the truth OF Napoleon's
prediction
