ing. Anderson and Brisbow were un-
til recently partners in the livery busi-
ness at Delamar. They Quarreled over
settlement, and it is supposed the
shooting grew out of revival Of the
business difficulty. Anderson and Bris-
bow met in front Of Tom Halls saloon,
and few words passed, when Ander-
son suddenly whipped out a revolver
and commenced firing at Brisbow. He
fired three shots, one Of which passed
through the right lung and lodged un-
der the shoulder blade.
Constable Pascoe at once deputixed a
man named Scadden, and the two pro-
ceeded to Anderson's house. Anderson
appeared at the door with revolver
in his hand and told them he never
would be taken alive.
Scadden and Pascoe then retreated,
the latter armed himself with shotgun
loaded with buckshot and the two again
started after Anderson. They proceed
ed a short distance in the direction Of
Anderson's house, when their man APP
peared. He was told to throw up his
hands, and complied. A moment after

and pulled his revolver. Leveling the
weapon at Pascoe. he said

Pascoe raised his gun and fired a
load of buckshot, taking effect in An
derson's abdomen and stomach. Ander-
son reeled, but before he fell he fired
three or four shots at Pascoe, none Of
which took effect. Anderson fell and
died in about 10 minutes.

FEDERAL courts. In one case the law was
pronounced constitutional, in the other
unconstitutional. Mr.. Choate called at
tentlon to this fact and said that in
view OF this fact the cases ought to be
heard by full bench. To this sugges-

IT was obvious that the Tregera case

Attorney General Harmon will make
motion in the United States supreme

here with the view Of procuring a final
decision as early as possible. About
$15,OOO.O00 is involved. Mrs. Leland
Stanford had an interview with the at

prepared, it is understood, to make a
plea to allow the case to rest where it
is, but when she ascertained that 1t

general in the opinion that the gov
ernment's interests, the interests Of the
Stanford university and her own in

the earliest possible final decision.

SOUDEN'S SHIP At LONDON.
Tho Missing Ft. Wayne Man En- Route
Home to Indiana.

NEW YORK, April 26-A young man
walked into the Maritime exchange and
asked for a list of steamers sailing
from Cape Town, South Africa, to Lon.
don. He ran over the names with fever
ish eagerness, until he found the name of
a ship that had reached London from
Cape Town. Then he gave n sigh of re-
lief. The young man gave his name ~
w. H. Souden, of Fort Wayne, Ind. He
said his father had disappeared four
months ago, and had just landed in Lon
don from Cape Town.
He tol6 his story as follows: Daniel
II. Souden, who is AZ years old, was one
of the best known citizens of Fort Wayne
and for four years ending last fall was
county clerk of Allen county, the strong
est Democratic county in the state. The
Republicans made a desperate effort to
capture it last fall, and charges were
made that SouGcn had made large over
charges. The statement, though not
true, cut Souicn's majority below 1000.
and Souden imagined himself personally
responsible for the slump In December
he came to New York. Souden had been
run over by a railway train and had two
artificial legs below the knees. At Elk
ton, Nd, the son found an almost perfect
counterpart of his father, the same mus
tache, hair size and, most remarkable,
the man had artificial legs.
1.-The other day" said the son, "a letter
came to us in fathers handwriting. 1t
was from Cape Town, and said he had
found himself there, but did not know
how to account for his being there. There
was something in the sentences that
showed the pain in the head. to which he

said he was coming home by the next
steamer via London. The letter was
dated March Is" Mr.. Souden had about
81, 900 when he left home. He wrote that
no money need be sent to him The son
does not know how to reach him. The
only thing that can do is wait" he said.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, April 25-A few
days ago, on complaint of one Burmeis-
ter, Lord Sholto Douglas was arrested
for insanity and put in Jail. His insan-
ity, 1t seems, took the form of desire to
marry pretty actress in one of the thea
tres here, and it is said the complaint was
melted by the fact that Burmeister was
also stuck" on the same girl. Lord
Sholto is q son of the marquis of Queens
berry, whose attacks on Oscar Wilde have
brought that prophet of the ideal into
such an odorous corner. The cxamina-
ton was setfor yesterday. and the accused
and accuser appeared, the latter, it seems,
only to withdraw his complaint, not be-

Sholto was, therefore, promptly released.

About 1 p. m. the mystery was solved.
His lordship was on his muscle. He went
into The Californian office and asked
George Weeks, the editor, if the Chronicle

Constable Scroy swore to the complaint
and Douglas was fined S5 3D. Weeks gives
q different story of the encounter. He says
that Lord Douglas, after saying that he
(Weeks) had been publishing id lies
about him, struck him. The lord
missed his aim and before he could try
again he was thrown into the street.
Douglas left, saying he would return

general as result, and that the precedent
thus established would in no way prove
dangerous. They have scoffed at the
idea that the application of their prin-
ciple would be widened until it mbraced
matters OF individual dress, manners.
and the use OF articles of food and drink
other than those they have in view at
present. They seem to have ho concep-
tion of the power of precedent. and
the sxpansiveness of a principle.
But to the student of history and
of average human nature it is plainly evil
dent that once the authority be con-
ceded the majority to legislate upon sub
jects of purely individual concern, to
infringe upon what are essentially nat
ural rights. its exercise will be carried to
any length demanded by the convictions
and whims OF those in power. Forbid
ding the female teachers of College Point
to ride wheels is an occurrence of small
moment to the country IN so far as its
imm ediate effects are measured. But in
principle it is an outrageous interference
with individual liberty. To the micro
scopic minded school trustees it was of
vital importance to their afflicted town
that they prescribe Feminine bicycling.
Our prohibition and Sunday law friends

upon the adoption of their doctrines. Be-

Sunday, they are willing to set aside and
trample upon any question of individual
liberty or natural right. These ends con-
stitute the limit Of their wants. they posi-
lively aver, and they seem certain that
there is not the slightest chance of their
principle being utilized to any further
extent. But with the liquor and Sunda Y

mands and the disposition to interfere
with the business and rights of other peo-
pie encouraged by success and buttressed
by the precedent established, it would be
but a matter of time till some other al
ieged evil Of habit, dress, food, drink or
custom would engage their attention and
absorb their efforts in an attempt at ref

or so once free country would lapse back
into the conditions governing life in the
early days OF New England when almost
every detail of individual life was regu-
lated by law and the Sabbath day was so
rigidly observed that tradition tells of
