JUROR SUDDENLY STRICKEN.
John ShellarS Died While on the Way to
Court
The Lee Murder Case Will PROBABLY
Have to be Tried
Again.

The trial of James Lee for the muir
der of Mollie Allen, which proceeding
had been nearly concluded, came TO a
sudden end in Judge Hinkson's court
yesterday morning The case was called
and eleven of the jurors had taken
their seats. John Shellars alone was
absent, but the cause of his absence mad
become known.
He had died only a few minutes be-
fore in the cigar store of lsador conn,
at Fourth and streets, While on ms
way to the courtroom to resume his
place in the jury box.
Mr. ShelIarS had been suffering or late
from trouble with his lungs, but ms
condition was such that he did not
deem it necessary to ask to be relieved
of his duty as a juryman- AS he was
on his way to court yesterday morning
he was seized with a violent fit OF
coughing however, and became SO
weak that he stepped into COINS cigar
store and sat down. In few mo-
ments he was in the throeS of a severe
hemorrhage of the lungs, and tainted.
He died before anything could be done
toward restoring him-indeed, he was
beyond help.
Word was sent to his wife. but he
expired before she arrived. The poor
woman's grief was pitiful when she be-
held on a lounge in a rear room the
lifeless body of her husband who had
taken leave of her only a few minutes
before
When the facts were laid before the
court and after the attorneys in the
case had briefly consulted in regard to
the matter, Judge Hinkson ordered the
case continued until Tuesday next.
While District Attorney Ryan and the
lawyers for the defense would all be
agreeable to the adoption of some plan
whereby the county would be saved the
expense of another trial, there does not
appear to be any way out of the diffi-
Guilty except to impanel another jury.
The law is not very flexible in regard
to criminal trials, and agreements be-
tween counsel that would change the
usual procedure would not probably be
upheld by the Supreme Court.
There is a new law on the statute
book which provides for one or two al
ternate jurors, to be impaneled at the
same time the regular jury is impan-
eled, and who would hear all the testi-
mony. They could be substituted in
case of sickness or death among the
regular jurors, without interrupting the
progress of a trial. No advantage has
been taken of this law, however, prob
ably for the reason that Judges do not
care to risk appeal by the defense, with
the possibility of the Supreme Court
deciding against the constitutionality
of such a law, which is an innovation
of the rule that has been so long in
practice.
John Shellars was an old resident of
the city, and had served many years IN
various subordinate positions, chiefly as
a peace officer. He had been member
of the police force, Deputy Sheriff, Con-
stable, etc, and in his younger days an
active fireman when the volunteer sys-
tenn was in vogue. He was native OF
Kentucky and G6 years of age.
Being a member of the Exempt Fire
mems Association, the fire bell on the
Corporation House was tolled yeSter-
day when his death occurred.

A CHALLENGE OR TWO.
Santa Rosa Republican,: A few days
ago the San Francisco Examiner
announced that all but three members
OF the Republican State Executive Com
mfttee would be members of the secret
order. Their names have been pub
lished, and we challenge the "Exami-
ner" or any other paper to name three
who are allied with any organization
that could in any manner affect their
party fealty.
Regardless of their church or society
relations, the delegates representing
the Sixth and Seventh Congressional
Districts acted together almost as a
unit in organizing the convention and
doing it's business. This gave them
great influence in the body, but SO far
as we are informed that influence was
not exercised against anybody on ac-
count of his religious views or church
relationship.
We are SO sure we are right in this
matter that we challenge any and all
to contrOvert statement made by US.
The convention was for Mckinley and
Republicanism with large ''R." The
Executive Committee of the party, as
announced, will know no ism except
Republicanism. AS an organization
the committee will be fair with all,
l.
knowledge of it's membership satisfies
us that it will not belong to anybody,
but will make a square fight for Re-
publican victory at the coming cleo
tion.

The importation Of such people ought
to be stopped. There can be no two
opinions about that. Several hundred
Italian immigrants were sent back be-
cause they were paupers, but none of
them because they were illiterate, and
yet illiteracy and pauperism go hand
in hand with each other and hand in
hand with crime. Put the gate on it's
hinges and put it on quick. 1t is known
that $4,000 more Italians are waiting
on the farther shore for an opportunity
to embark for this country and it is

DELIVERY WAGON HELD UP
''Buzzards' Point Footpads Secure
Many Christmas Presents
Surrounded the Vehicle and Looted
1t of yaIuabIes to the
Amount of $50.

"Buzzards' Point" as the region along the
water front of the southeast section, of
the city is kno own, was the scene last night
OF daring highway robbery. One OF the
delivery wagons of Alexander Hecht was
successfully pillaged by a crowd of coll
ored youths and men.
The wagon, in charge OF Harry Talbot,
boy, seventeen years of age, and an as
sistant named William Rowe, was filled
to the roof with bundles, boxes and pack
ages, worth from three To four hundred
dollars. A stop was made at the corner
of South Capitol and M streets southeast,
to deliver a bundle at No. SO South Cap
itol street, when crowd OF colored youths,
who lounge about the corners, surrounded
the vehicle, while couple OF their num-
ber seized the nearest available packages
from the rear of the wagon and made
tracks for cover, with the whole crowd
following closely.
Harry Talbot, the driver, was on the
seat and noticed the crowd gather about his
wagon, but as he has delivered packages
throughout this territory without any trou-
BILE for the past five years, he anticipated
nothing more than little .ollying from
the crowd until a Commotion among the

head, when he saw the marauders in the
act of helping themselves.
He gave chase to the crowd until they
vanished in the eIo ON of one of the IN any
brickyards in the vicinity, when prudence
suggested another course
No. 8 police station was his next des-
tination and his loss, estimated at $50 at
least, was reported. Policemen Ward and
Owens Immediately visited the neighbor-
hood and began a search through the dark
corners OF the Point A call for the
wagon III half an hour was the first init
nation OF the success OF the expedition,
for after BIT of clever work the officers
had rounded up bunch of four suspects,
ranging in ages from eleven to thirty.
The names were Joseph Wilson, John

Havener and Jackson were Immediately
