AN INDIANS MISTAKE.
Taken by a Sheriff to a Base
ball Game of the Pale
faces.
Thinking the Crowd Mad Mob He
Runs for Liberty and Is
Shot.

WICHITA, kANs., June ia special
from Ell Reno to the Eagle says the shoot
ing of Red Lodge, the Indian who had
been arrested for assaulting an old woman
at Arapahoe last Saturday, promises to be-
come a very serious matter, and may end
in an outbreak against the white settlers
at any moment.
mutual hatred exists among the Indi-
ans and whites, and the greatest caution is
required to prevent an armed collision.
Captain Woodson, the Indian agent, tele7
graphed the Eagle tonight inquiring con-
corning the accuracy of the reports that
the shooting took place and that it was
wanton and evidently prearranged.
The Sheriff of G County, who had the In
dian under arrest, it is charged, took the
Indian to a baseball game, and upon ar
irving there the Indian took the assembled
crowd for mob and made a break to get
away, when the Sheriff shot him through
the bowels.
Captain Woodson SAYS that Captain
Mackey's troop of cavalry is on the scene,
and that he has sent detachment of In
dian police to mingle with the Indians and
keep them quiet.
sit is proper. to add" he says, ''that 1
think Red Lodge was entirely innocent of
the outrage on the old lady, and that sew
eral white people volunteered to testify in
his favor at a preliminary trial"
A dispatch from Arapahoe also states
that the Indians are very excited, and that
general collision is feared.

work in the orchards, vineyards and hop
yards of California.
The character of this proof is not strong
enough from legal standpoint, however,
to warrant them in putting the Govern
ment to the expense of trying the culprits
in the courts. 1t is very likely, though,
that an arrest or two may yet be made
and certain evidence was obtained in San
Francisco and here that will probably re-
suit in the deportation of two or more
Japs held on the steamer Mexico and the
arrest of the fellow who brought them
from Victoria.
The contractor is now in hiding, having
been warned in time to escape.
The Commissioners found the line dis
tinctly drawn in this section on the cody
labor question, and the large orchardists,
while claiming to be in favor of white
labor, are in fact more favorably disposed
toward japanese and Chinese. Their rea-
sons were given in the reports of their
testimony in the CALL of to-day. They
said they have found coolies more relia BILE
and steadier workers than the white men.
The latter were too prone to get drunk
and not work when they have few dol
lars.
The other class, the town people and
small farmers, who have time to spare to
"work out" are emphatically opposed to
cody laborers, and they did not hesitate

THE SANTA CRUZ MURDER,
Joe Rodriguez Arrested for
the Killing of William
Benson.
Statements Of EyeWitnesses Place
the Spanish Ex-Convict in
Bad Light.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 18.-Joe Rod
riguez, a Spaniard who was engaged in the
fight in which William Benson was killed,
was arrested last evening by Sheriff Besse
and Chief of Police Rawle and lodged in
the County Jail. Rodriguez is commonly
known as BLACK Joe' and was released
from Folsom but few months ago. hav-
ing served a years sentence for assault
with deadly weapon. Since his release
he has also served term in the County
Jail. His two companions, John and Pete
Sawyer, were arrested this morning at
o'clock at their home on Santa Cruz street
in North Santa Cruz. The three were
locket in separate cells, SO they were un-
able to communicate with each other.
This morning statements made by each
were taken down in shorthand by the
court reporter, and they substantially
agree. According to their account, the
Benson brothers and their friend were on
their way home from town about o'clock
Sunday morning. One of them was play
ing horn and another an harmonica. Pre-
ceding them were the three Spaniards, and
when they met Rodriguez passed re-
mark in Spanish about the horn, which
Benson attempted to repeat, without much
success. Rodriguez then applied an cpl
tnet to Benson, and when the latter re-
torted in kind ran up and struck Benson
in the back of the neck and kicked him.
They were soon engaged in rough-and-
tumble. The men on the sidewalk spoke
OF separating the combatants, but Benson
would not let go, as he was afraid of
treachery on the part of Rodriguez.
Finally Rodriguez released his hold and
Benson Immediately did the same, but no
sooner had he done so than Rodriguez
knocked him down. His head struck the
ground fracturing his skull. Benson never
regained consciousness after the fall.
Rodriguez appears to have been the ag-
gressor in the whole affair. His state
ment was made in bravado fashion,
he not being aware that Benson was dead.
He claimed that Benson commenced the
fight, and that he did not kick him. The
inquest will be held tomorrow afternoon.

OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.
Governor Hughes of arizona May Soor
BE Retired.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 18.-As
predicted in the CALL there appears to be
no doubt whatever that Governor Hughes
of Arizona will either be dismissed from
his position or allowed to tender his resig-
nation. Inspector Olive of Secretary
Smiths staff who was sent to Arizona to
investigate many charges against the
Governor, has filed his report with the
Secretary. The report, it is understood, is
decidedly against the Governor Mr..
Olive is now in Wisconsin on official
business. When he returns the Secretary
will go over the report with him and
render his decision in the matter.
Governor Hughes is in the city, but
not at the direction of Secretary Smith.
The Secretary did not order him to Wash
ington. If the Governor has left his reser-
walton without first obtaining leave of
absence from his superior officer, the Sec
rotary of the Interior, he has violated an
expressed rule of the department and is liza
BILE to censure for his conduct. There are
a number of candidates who are anxious to
succeed Governor Hughes. Ex-Governor
Znlick's friends are putting up a fight for
him. They are, however, proceeding in a
very unwise way if they expect their favor
lite to win. They are giving out story to
the effect THAT Secretary Smith is fairly
begging the Ex-Governor to take the office
Governor Zulick's overzealons friends
may, by their indiscretion, injure his
chances to succeed Hughes.

GILROY, CAL, June 1S.-The Southern
Pacific section-house at Sargents station
seven miles south of Gilroy, was entered
by sneakthieves yesterday afternoon
while the men were at work, and three
suits of clothes, an overcoat. a pistol, and
$50 in coin were stolen. 1t is supposed four
men were implicated in the theft, as at
noontime a suspicious looking quartet
asked for dinner at the house, and waited
there until the employees had returned to
work. The officers have no other clew,
and it is probable the thieves boarded the
3 80 train for San Francisco.

majority of the people are with you,'' said
Mr.. Chittenden, the storekeeper to Com
missioner Fitzgerald. Similar expressions
are being voiced on every side.
The Japanese in this valley are almost
beside themselves with fear and anxiety.
and they apprehend that the investigation
will result in their being deported; or, what
would be almost as bad, repetition of
their experiences when the industrial army
visited this valley year or so ago. On
that occasion the coolies houses were
burned by the unemployed, and they were
violently driven from the farms and ORCH
ards. They fear deportation more than
any violence that might arise from an
anti-cooly agitation. The first would send
them back to their old life and habits in
the Mikado's realm, but in the case of a
local trouble they would be able to go to
work again as soon as the trouble would
be over.
In order to checkmate the investigators
the Japanese worked hard all of last night.
Dogcarts and buggies were hired in this
town as soon as it was dark, and the Jap
anese Paul Reveres FASTENED up and down
the valley warning their countrymen OF
their danger. About daylight these mes
sengers came struggling back to town, dusty
and weary, but out of the 300 japanese in
the Vaca Valley there is not one that had
