THE Milford boys are going TO try con-
illusions with the Frederick base ball
team, at Frederick, tomorrow Saturday
afternoon, at 3 p III. This game is to be
fairly contested one and it is especially
agreed that there shall not be any wrang-
ling or Directing to the umpires decis-
ions, both clubs having implicit conf
dence in the fairness and judgment of
the one agreed UPON to judge the game.
The contest will be an interesting one, no
doubt as in our estimation the two teams
are about equal in strength, with the
chances of success little i'll favor of the
Frederick boys, but so nearly matched are
the two teams that a close battle should
be the result of the contest Papa"
Lynch will be present III all his glory,
broken fingers aud all, and while he will
not attempt to play the game, he will sit
OH the bench and assist IN the coaching,
and those who are able to witness the
game will be highly elated and we'll
pleased with the musical ores Of his
melodious voice and the unlqueness of
his mode and style of urging his team to
win.

MADEIRA ARSON CASE.

Achille FoMrnier Bound Deer to the SUI
perior Court.
MADEIRA, CAL, Aug. 23.-The prelim-
mary examination of Achille Fourier
upon a charge of arson was concluded to-
day at o'clock, when the court held the
defendant to answer before the Superior
Court.
The examination has been in progress
since last Monday. During one stage of
the proceedings the defendant broke down
and wept and the court had to take re-
cess until he could control himself.
The defense attempted to prove that one
John Noble had attempted to suborn wit
nesscs for the purpose of convictlng Four
nier. Noble is the same man who induced
Anderson to make a statement in the Jail
duplicating Fourier in the commission of
the offense. Fourier was witness in his
own behalf ard gave an account of his
actions on the night of the conf1agration,
stating that he had gone to Ell Paso, Tex,
to escape from mob and had returned to
MADEIRA as soon as the unlawful feeling
against him had subsidized.
The theory of the defense was that the
fire took place by reason of ashes being
placed in the rear of the Tribune Office
from the steam-engine that was used to
run the printing press.

Mr.. BUDD WALKS ABOUT.
An Evidence That Strength Is
Returning to the Sick
Man.
Alarm Caused by a False Report
That He Had Received
Setback.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 23.-The re-
port that Governor Budd was worse is
absolutely without foundation. A San
Francisco newspaper man called to see
him, and was denied admittance to his
chamber, as is every one else outside of
the family, and it is thought the story
grew out OF this. Numerous inquiries
from anxious friends have been received
by telephone this afternoon after the re-
port was circulated as to his being so much
worse.
Instead of being worse the Governor is
better. This has been his banner day,"
for he was strong enough to put on his
trousers and walk about the room little
without fatiguing him much. YESTERDAY
he essayed to walk, but the exertion was
too great. Last night he did not sleep
well, and secured no rest until 8 O'Clock.
This made him appear trifle fatigued this
morning, but he frightened up as the day
went on.
The Governor managed to eat some toast
and boiled eggs to-day for the first time
since his illness. He continues to- take the
milk punches with raw eggs beaten up in
them to strengthen him.
The Governors mother said tonight
that she was well pleased with his prog
gress, and. especially with that made to-
day. 1t is slow but steady. He is still
very weak, but to-day's effort indicates
that this is passing away.

ARGUMENTS At SEATTLE,
Northern Pacific Receivers At
tackled by Ex-senator
Sanders.
The Principal Fight Made Over the
Jurisdiction Of Judge
jenkins.

SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. 23.-In the fight
of the Northern Pacific Railway Company
to GUST Receivers Payne, Cakes and Rouse,
in the United States District Court to-day.
ex-United States Senator Dolph of Oregon
finished the argument begun yesterday.
Dolph was followed by ex-Unlted States
Senator Sanders of Montana for the rail-
road, and he In turn succeeded by United
States Senator Mitchell of Oregon.
The question of the jurisdiction of Judge
jenkins in the original case has practically
been the only one touched upon so far.
Mr.. Dolph held that the rule of comfy,
Justly applied, requires that if for any
reason the Circuit Court for the eastern
district did not become court of primary
jurisdiction the Circuit Court for the
western district of Wisconsin should be
held to be the court of primary iurisdic-
ton.
Mr.. Sanders urged upon the court the
necessity of putting men in charge of the
road who live along its lines, and not men
from New York, who are almost foreign
in knowledge of Northern Pacific affairs.
The argument will not close before to-
morrow, when ex-United States Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin will probably close
for the receiyars

:: 6y Judge Reynolds.
e. SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug 23.-Judge Rey-
roids this morning rendered decision
that is of more than usual interest and one
that sustains the fee bill passed by the last
Legislature.
- a few months ago NJ. Malarin, capital
ist of Santa Clara, died, and his will was
admitted to probate. The estate was
appraised at $4,000, and when the
appraisers presented their inventory for
filing Clerk Pfister demanded $3.50 fees, as
prescribed by the new law. The executors
Nilsed to pay the fees and commenced a
mdndamus proceeding to compel the
clerk to file the inventory under the old
law, in which event the fees would have
amounted to Is cents.
Judge Reynolds denied the motion for
a mandamus, saying that if he granted the
motion he would have to declare the act
unconstitutional and made the following
order:
= This court is unwilling to declare an act
unconstitutional on an ex-parte motion.
Moreover, the clerk does not file the papers
tho filing is an act of the court, and the court
viii not mandamus itself. If such order is to
come it mast come from the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court is therefore the only
remedy

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 23.-Deputy
Sheriff Black obtained information this
morning that opium was being passed in
to Plutarco Quilado, an ex-conyict who is
serving 1873 days in the county jail for two
charges of petty larceny.
.Jailer' Gardner and Black brought Qui-

and made break for a piece of gaspipe
that was in the corner of the room. Black

after few minutes fight, during which

.subdued and submitted to being searched.
On his person. was found large quantity

ELEZER FRosTs DEATH.
An Effort to Fasten the Re-
sponsibiIity for the
Poisoning.
ECCENTRICITIEs OF THE MAN.
Insisted on Mixing His Medicines
In Spite of the Physicians
Warning.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 23.-The prelimi-
nary examination of DR.. Penry Case on
charge of manslaughter was commenced
before Justice Dwyer this morning. Dr.
Case is charged with having caused the
death of Elezer Frost on July 10 by ad-
ministering poison in the medicine he
gave the sick man.
Mrs. Asselin, granddaughter OF Elezer
Frost, was the first witness. She told how
she had thrown the powders IN the stove
after her grandfather's death, but the next
day had taken them out and saved them
at the suggestion of Mrs. Anderson. who
said it was better to keep the medicine.
She put the powders in a bottle and they
were afterward given to the Coroner.
Mrs. AsseIin said her grandfather was a
very strong-minded man and always made
the physicians obey his orders. For two
. or three years previous to his death he was
i'll. He was in the habit of mixing his
own medicine He would take a half
dozen patent medicines, mix some of each
in glass and take the dose. He thought
that if there was good in one medicine and
good in another he could mix them to-
gether and get the benefit OF all. Dr. Case
had often warned him against taking two
or three medicines together. The witness
had known Frost to mix Ayers sarsapa-
rilla, Mexican tonic and syrup of figs, but
; had never known him to mix powder
medicines.
:. Mrs. Dora Frost, the widow of the de-
ceased. was on the stand this afternoon.
She said she had followed she directions of
DR.. Case in administering the powders.
At Dr.. Cases last visit her husband had
asked him to give him good dose of NOR
phine, so he could rest easy. He suffered
intense pain during his sickness and slept
but little. DR.. Case gave him powder
composed of morphine and quinine, say
ing the quinine would stimulate the heart
and the morphine ease the pain. During
Frost's sickness he had been in the habit
of eating anything he pleased, and on one
occasion ate some strawberry icecream.
p: The witness said DR.. Case gave him an in
lection of morphine, but that did not seem
to relieve him any.
The examination was continued until
TOMORROW morning.
Judge Reynolds this morning made an
order fixing the bonds of Mrs. Dora Frost

country. The smoke has partially cleared.
but it will be some time before accurate
estimates Of the damage can be made.
In many sections of the Sound country
vast reaches of once forest-clad mountains
can now be seen to have been stripped and
laid waste, while other strips extending
from the valleys to the mountainous are
visible, and in some sections whole noun
tainsides and valleys are denuded of their
wealth of evergreen. The destruction of
the timber is lamentable and at one time,
from latest reports, there appeared grave
trouble ahead for whole communities in
the lower Sound country. Much cordwood
and logs were burned, and considerable
loss will probably be found to have re-
suited to farmers and millmen when a
thorough investigation is made.
The grand total of damages in Western
Washington by the destruction of standing
timber alone will amount to hundreds OF
thousands of dollars.

SPIRITS IN THE TREES.
Strange HaIt"cinatiom of a Rancher Near
Los Gdtos.

Strange HdLUcindtion of a Rancher Near
Los Gdtos.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. Backward Sui
liyan, an eccentric rancher who inhabits
little cabin in the mountains near Los
Gatos, is keeping neighboring ranchers in
a state of uncertain fear by his strange hal
lucinations. Sullivan imagines that a
mysterious parsonage inhabits every tree
trunk on his little ranch and that for every
tree that is felled on the place human
life is sacrificed. For hours each DAY he
can be seen going from one tree to another
and communicating with its supposed in
habitant.
Recently neighboring rancher named
Sabln swore out complaint charging Sui
Ivan with insanity. Sullivan was taken to
San Jose by the local authorities and quar-
tered in the County Jail for month pend
ing an examination as to his mental con-
dition. He was released about week
ago, since which time he has been tending
to his recently neglected twenty acres OF
wood land in the mountains and repairing
the damage incident to his months abb
sence in Jail.
Sullivan went to Los Gatos yesterday for
the first time since his release, and those
familiar with him could scarcely recognize
the man. His long, shaggy beard had
met the jaiPs tonsorial artist and his hair
was tightly cropped to his head.
81 do not like life in Jail one Bit" said
Sullivan yesterday. ''It's a horrible place.
They kept me there a month and then
turned me loose. | am going to move out
of the county where no one can bother me
and where 1 can talk with the atmosphere.
Say, do you know its pretty tough for my
neighbors to come to my place and cut
down my trees in my absence and kill all
my friends-cut them in two with an ak.
Why, when l came home l found spirits
all about the cabin, cursing me for letting
strange people chop them up"
Sullivan is furious over the wholesale
murders, but as yet his madness has not
done any particular damage, save that Of
making his neighbors a trifle shy of med
ding with his affairs or coming in very
close contact with his Dre miseS.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 23.-The con-
tractors who are laying the pipes for the
town water works at Santa Clara are ex-
periencing good deal OF difficulty in get
ting men to dig the trenches at cents per
foot. Out of seventy men who reported
for work yesterday morning only six went
to work, five of whom quit before 10
o'clock The other man stayed with the
iob.until he had earned 81 and then quit.
The trenches are feet inches deep and
the men think that cents per running
foot is too small pay. The contractors
claim that good man can earn So per day.
1t is thought that the contractors will have
TO raise the price in order to get the work
done
