DEATH IN THE WINE.
A MOST PECULIAR CHAIN OF CO.
INCiDENCES.
Drinking of Certain Wine Has
Been Many Times Followed by Il
Murder.

San Bernadino, Cal, June 2S.-A pc
culiar coincidence in connection with
the numerous tragedies which have
taken place in this vicinity for several
months past is the fact that they were
all brought about after the drinking
of a certain wine manufactured at
Cajon. Less than year ago, Thomas
Guriat drank some of this wine and
killed Jesse Taylor, for which he was
convicted and sentenced to serve
term of years in San Quentin. A little
later Joseph Colemont committed sui
eide after having imbibed this wine
too freely. A few weeks ago the COM
munity of Cajon was startled with
another tragedy. a neighborhood
gathering was had, and at the dinner
some of this wine was imbibed to en-
tighten the occasion, which closed with
the killing of James P. Medlin by w
L. Taber. The latter is now convicted
of murder in the second degree, and
is awaiting sentence by the superior
court.
The latest crime following the drink
ing of this wine was committed at
Hesperia, when J. 3. Douglas shot and
killed W. Z. Neal in a most cold
blooded manner. This chain of coin
cidences so full of tragedy has led to
the suggestion that something I'M
canny must be lurking in the wine.

Denver, June ga special to the
News from Colorado Springs says:
Colorado Springs has it's Svengalli
and its Trilby, the parts being imper-
sonated by Bert Graham and his wife,
and the police are untangling
strange story. They were called to
the Graham residence to arrest two
men who had attempted to abduct
Mrs. Graham, stating that they
wanted to use her at Cripple Creek in
locating gold mines. 1t see.us that
Graham has been in the habit OF hyp-
nothing her and is said to have made
some valuable discoveries by follow
ing directions given by her while in
trance state. The attempted kidnap-
pers made their escape before the po-
lice arrived, leaving Mrs. Graham
bruised and exhausted from her strug-
gle with Them
This afternoon, while in a trance,
Mrs. Graham located the men in a
certain saloon at Colorado City, three
miles from here, giving description
of them. The police followed her di-
rections, but found no suspicious char
acters there. She claims they went to
the wrong saloon.
The police tonight locked up Ora
ham on a charge of unlawful cohab-
itation. They claim the pair are at
tempting to fleece d wealthy Cripple
Creek mining man, whom they have
in their power, and that Graham has

of Puerto Principe.
Havana. June 2S-The facts about
the raid and the burning of San Ger
onimo, news of which was cabled on
Wednesday to the Associated Press,
as they are learned more in detail are
found to be of Importance. San Ger
nnimo is the most fiourishing village
in the province of Puerto Principe.
About o'clock in the evening Maxine
Gomez appeared near San Geronimo
at the head of 1900 men. He sent 10
the commander of the village, saying
that he must surrender or run the
risk of being killed, either by bullets OF
fire. The Spanish commander, Lieu
tenant Laborda, tore the note TO
pieces, replying, Tell him to come at
once and do what he pleases; that a
Spaniard will never surrender.
Addressing his men, he said: Sol
diers, get ready"
Throughout the night these men
waited to be attacked. The families
of the citizens, aware of Gomez S
presence in the neighborhood, left the
town. Meanwhile, the rain was fall
ing in torrents. The insurgents al
lowed the women and children of the
families to pass out of the city, but
held the men inside. AT sunrise Gomez
ordered the mayor of the town to tell
the Spanish lieutenant that he had
the town surrounded and that he
must surrender Immediately. After
wards the mayor returned, saying:
Under no circumstances will he sur
render"
Gomez then gave an order for 400
of his cavalry to dismount and attack
the place. At the same time they ad-
Vanced toward the town and ordered
70 n he
est houses. Gomez was heard to say:
That officer is a brave man. He
will not surrender in spite of shooting
and fire.
He then commanded that the whole
town should be burned. The fire in
creased rapidly through the town, and
the fort in which the garrison was
quartered was already burning. The
troops kept firing until suffocated by
the smoke, when the mayor lifted a
white flag. and the insurgents bugle
gave the signal to stop firing. Lieu
tenant Laborda, a lieutenant of guer-
1llas, fifty soldiers of the garrison and
twenty-five guerillas came forward,
and agreeing with Gomez as to the
terms of the surrender, delivered their
arms and ammunition. The MARQUIS
of Santa Lucia and Maxine Gomez
embraced Lieutenant Laborda, saying
to him:
you can shout viva Espana.' be-
cause you are a worthy defender of
her.
The officers and soldiers, with tears
in their eyes. revealed in their faces
the anguish they felt at their surren-
der, which they consented to although

The body swing OF the crew continued

the cheers and footing of the whistles

TO forty-one, but Yale at thirty-seVen

the three mile point was reached, Yale
had a lead of five lengths and was
gaining steadily. A stretch of rough

splashed considerably. The Harvard

failed to act together. They held on
bravely, although defeat was certain.

The boats were near the excursion

from this point and rapidly gained

held on pluckily. The Yale men with

The Yale boys did not slacken their
stroke after the race was won. but
continued rowing at good clip under
the big bridge, each one of the men
sitting upright and showing no bad
effects OF their arduous task. The
Harvard men showed signs of distress
and some of them were seen to weaken
as they finished 30 seconds later.

HERCULEAN TASK.
Attempt to Be Made to Purify Poll.

Kansas City. Mo. June 2S.-Tha
Civic Federation of Kansas City.
whose purpose it is to purify local
politics, has been formally organized
by the election OF a strong list OF
officers.
The constitution provides, among
other things, that the federation shall
study the condition and needs of the
city from a legislative, educational.
philanthropic, legal and sanitary
standpoint.
An effort will be made to separate
municipal and state affairs, and place
competent and trustworthy men in
office, without respect to party lines,
who will work for the upbuilding OF
Kansas City and the publication OF
municipal politics. Branch organiza-
tons are to be established in all the
wards of the city, and the work is to
be quietly pursued throughout the
summer and brought to d final cul-
mination during October.

OMAHA EXCITED.
People Have Had Enough of Doodle,
They Say.


They Say.
Omaha, June 2S.-A' proclamation,
signed by one thousand citizens, was
published here today calling upon tax
payers generally to join them in the
organization of a vigorous non-sec-
tartan and non-partisan citizens
movement for municipal reform. The
agitation is an outgrowth of the de-
falcatiOn in the city treaSurerS Office,
which revealed q sorry state of af-
fairs. Many city officials were shown
to have dra WI their salaries AR in adj
vance, and it was shown, too, that
city money was being used by con-
tractors, spectators and others with
political influence. The fight of de-
faulting City Treasurer Bollin. it will
be remembered, was followed by
investigation of the condition of their
funds. After Bollin's capture, he re-
signed, but not until tonight did the
council accept his resignation or name
his successor. The names of respect
able citizens repeatedly sent TO the
council by the mayor as successor TO
Rollin were as repeatedly turned
down and Bollin was left in Office.
The citizens proclamation seems to
have had its effect, however, for to-
night the council confirmed j. H Du
mont as city treasurer.
The proclamation issued today does
not mention the a. P A, which is a
controlling factor in city politics, but
there is a plain inference that the pro-
posed organization will have for its
object the wrestling of the city gov
eminent from the men who are now
in control.
