John Dodge and Hls Wife Captured by a
Posse and Landed in Jail.
Both Charged With Having a Hand in
the Crime.
The Crew of Schooner Carrying on
Illicit Traffic i'm Lower California
"A Drunken Row Terminates i'm a
Fatal Shooting at San Francisco.

USAL, Nov. 9-Chief Officer Handy
In command of a posse arrived in Usal
tonight, having in charge John Dodge
and wife. Dodge is one of the men ac-
cused of numbering rancher John H.
Mudgett, and Dodge's wife is charged
with having been an accessory. The
officers reached here in an exhausted
state, having traversed 200 miles in the
past three days, facing a binding rain
storm on the last day of the chase.
The capture of Dodge and wife was
devoid of anything savoring of the pic
tureSQue, and was made without the
least show of resistance. The prison is
which the suspects are confined is care
fully guarded by officers, who are in
structed to permit no one to visit the
prisoners.
The exact nature of the evidence
against the wife of Dodge cannot be
clearly defined tonight, but it is be-
!ieved some of the provisions stolen
from Mudgett's dwelling We're found
found about their premises. The evi-
dence against Dodge is more conclusive.
1t is said that he offered a draft pay
able to Mudgett to Shafsky Brothers,
grocers at Fort Bragg.
The people Of Usal are excited over
the capture, but it is believed nothing
alarming will occur, and there are no
fears of a lynching tonight.

Fatally Shot.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Michael
McNally was fatally shot by Jack Car
ney in a drunken row near the mail dock
about / O'Clock this morning.
Both men are marine firemen. For a
day or so they had been drinking heav-
lily, and shortly before the shooting
met at First and Brannan streets. Car
ney, who is known as a bad man, chal-
lenged A1cNally to fight. The latter ac-
cepted and proceeded to pull off his coat,
when Carney pulled a pistol pointed it
at McNally and fired a shot into his
abdomen.
The bali ranged inward, tearing the
inteStines in its course. The injured
man fell to the street, and Carney at
tempted to escape, when he was cap
tured by bystanders and turned over to
a policeman, who took him to the Cen
trail Police Station, where he was locked
up to await the result Of the injuries Of
his victim.
McNally was hastily removed to the
Receiving Hospital. There his wound
was diagnosed by DR.. Wiel, who pro-
nounced 1t fatal.
McNalIy came here from New York
four months ago, where he left sister
named Mrs McGinty. He is u years of
age, and shortly after his arrival OBJ
tained a position as fireman on the Aus
tralia. subsequently he gave up the
place to work on the collier Wellington.
on her last trip to this port he left the
vessel and entered on the spree which
resulted in the shooting.
Carney the murderer. has a record
as dangerous man. In order to hide
his identity and conceal crimes hitherto
committed he some time ago adopted
the alias Of Hickey.
When asked for a statement regard
ing the shooting Carney claimed that he
shot in self-defense.

not mean that the senators who supported

only that they are opposed to spending

A resolution has been offered in the
house providing for an investigation by a
committee selected from both branches

Secretary Horton in connection with the
purchase of seeds for free distribution,
and of the charge made by Secretary
Morton and his assistant that some men,

Senator Tillman's latest effort in the
way of speech making was quite as sensa-
tional as his first, and it didn't please
either republicans, democrats or pOpu-
lists. He used his pitchfork too indiscrim-
inately for any of them. His slurs at
the old parties were expected, but it had
been supposed, in view of his unquestioned
presidential aspiration, that he would not
say anything to offend the pOpulists, but
he did all the same; and although the
pOpulists will not talk about it, they do
not like it little bit. Some people take
the attitude Of Senator Tillman to mean
that he believes the result of the rppubli-
can and democratic national conventions
will be the formation of all entirely new

and Tillman for it's presidential candidate

In connection with the presence of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee in Washington to receive

eral, rumor, is being circulated that has
excited much comment, especially among
those who think that the administration
is althOgether too much inclined to favor
spain. According to this rumOr, Consul
General Williams whom Gen. Lee succeeds
did not voluntarily resign, as has been
supposed, but was asked to resign by
Secretary Olney, because the Spanish
complained of his insisting that all Ameri-
cans arrested in Cuba no matter what the
charge should be tried by civil and not
military court. Most people would
think that such insistance on the part OF

sured his being kept in office by the
