Tried to XIII Himself and His Wife.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 17.-Jonas Stiles, aged about twenty-eight, a farm CT of Southwick, fired shot from a revolver at his wife at the home of his father in that town this evening. The shot failed to take effect and Stiles fired two shots at himself, the latter entering his brain. He is in a preca- rious condition, and there is little hope of his recovery. The affair was caused by little quarrel which enraged Stiles, who had been drinking.

probably day or two after Tom Mckay

''Things are dull. Travel is very light,
and there isn't much doing. Bicycles have
raised the deuce with suburban travel. No
man who lives within five miles of town
thinks of using the railroad nowadays.
1.-THE bicycle has affected all lines OF
business. The tailor suffers because the
man that ought to be buying a dress suit
or Prince Albert and going in society
spends his evenings wearing cheap
bicycle suit and riding his wheel. 1t is the
same way with the show business.
People that used to seek this enjoyment
and recreation at a theater now amuse
themselves wheeling.
an some cities there has been an enor-
nous falling off in the revenue of street
car companies because of the prevalence
of the bicycle habit. And cycling is not
falling off, either. You wouldn't think SO

The witness first saw the deeds held by
Mrs. Craven at the Office of Mr. Lloyd this
time. 81 never had any suspicion of Mrs.
Craven" said the witness; II always had
the most implicit confidence in her during
all the years that l have known her. l
never saw the ink will. but l am as sure
of its existence from what she has told me
as can be of anything that have not
seen. l account for the loss of the ink
will on the supposition that a detective
logged her every footsteps from the time
she started East.
MRS. Craven was ill in Chicago and ap-
pears from Mr.. Mulholland's telegram to
have treated his representative not as
politely as he seemed to expect, and he
left her. Some other person taking his
place secured possession of the will and
made away with it. The reason Mrs. Cra-
ven gave me for sending the will East was
the fear that it would be stolen, as the
other will of the 21st was from the Office
of the County Clerk. l have always had a
blind confidence in this WILL"
This concluded the examination, and
Mr.. Deimas will begin his -examina-
ton tomorrow.
Mr.. Mitchell, who took the deposition,
remarked that the witness had given his
testimony in straightforward, manly
WaV.

Mrs. Craven's Journey Across
the Country With the Pre-
ciouS Document.
DoGGED BY A DETECTIVE.
Supposed to Have Captured the Ink
Will and Left the Train at
Reno.

The deposition of Stephen Roberts in
the matter of the Fair will was begun yes
terday at the Office of Pierson & Mitchell.
Mr.. Roberts Is Mrs. Craven's longtime
friend and adviser. He said he knew Fair
but slightly. Six years ago Mrs. Craven
sent him q power of attorney from New
York, but he had never acted under it.
What he had done for her was done as her
friend and without compensation.
He never knew of the leadpencil will
during the life of Mr. Fair. although he
had met Mrs. Craven frequently between
the date of that instrument, September
"a, 1894, and the date of the Senator'S
death, Decem Der %.
In conversation with her she had told
him that Senator Fair had made num-
Der of wills in her house He was in the
habit of coming and taking the docu-
ments away with him, however. She
mentioned one as having been made after
Jim's death (the Senator's favorite SOM.
The first time she spoke of the pencil will
was on the 18th or 5th of February, just
before she started for Sacramento in the
interest of the teachers pension fund bill.
She said at that time that the Senator had
made a will also dated September 81.
After her return from Sacramento she re-
peated this statement concerning this will
and said that the Senator had made it in
pencil and copied it in ink. Also that the
Senator had brought to her house and pre-
scented to her at the same time the deeds
for the Mission and Sansome street prop
critics.
The witness said he advised her to put
the instrument on record at once. She
said she had sent both of them East under
the supposition that she had ten months
in which to offer them for probate. II
told her she was mistaken IN this" said
the witness, land told her it was her duty
to produce the will Immediately. l took
her TO my attorneys (Williams0 Office
and he corroborated me in this. She told
me she had told Governor Budd about the
existence of the will, and that Budd had
spoken to her in such q manner as to
brighten her. l went up to see Budd, and
ne advised me to Ike Mrs. Craven to see
Mr. Lloyd. l di 10, and she told Mr..
Lloyd all the cirt stances"

DRoWaED At EUREKA.
Peculiar accident to Ttco HOrk,ness on
the Gouernment Jetfn.

EUREKA, CAL, July IAN accident
happened at s o'clock tonight at the Gov
eminent jetty works in which Angus Nc
Donald and Ed Inman were thrown off
the track into the ocean and drowned.
Another man, Kenny Ferguson, was badly
injured. The real cause of the accident
cannot be learned. 1t would seem that in
an attempt to unload carload of medium
rock the hydraulic power which is applied
to tilt cars went to the wrong side. The
cars instantly upset on the side of the
heaviest weight of rock.
Mcdonald was on the loaded car and In
man between it and an empty car at
tached. Both men were thrown into the
water. AS the sea was rough and the tide
on the ebb no assistance could be rem
dered and they soon sank. Ferguson, the
injured man, was in the empty car. When
he saw which way the car was going TO
tilt he jumped onto the trestle and es-
capped with broken leg. The lIfe-saving
crew is now out In surfboat and gang
is patrolling the beach. 1t is not likely
that the bodies will be recovered until
flood tide.

1oMAx TALKS OF WHEELS.

Railroad men of Montgomery street and
of Market street are looking forward to
conference that is to be held in this City
tomorrow or the day after with unusual
interest.
To attend this meeting Tom Mckay,
formerly local agent Of the Burlington, is
coming all the way from Yokohama,
Japan; E. L. Lomax, the general agent of
the Union Pacific Company, came last
night from Omaha, and w. P. Knisken,
general passenger agent of the Chicago
and Northwestern, will arrive to-day from
Chicago. 1t will also be attended by q
representative of the Southern Pacific
Company.
From reports along the lower end of
Montgomery street yesterday it was gath
cred that this conference will be anything
but lovefeast and may result in Mr.. Nc
Kay being relieved from his present pleas
ant and remunerative position.
About two years ago Mckay was COM
missioned by the Central Pacific, the
Union Pacific and the Chicago and North
western Railroad companies to go to Yo-
kohama and solicit passenger business for
these roads. While the volume of his
business has been satisfactory, his meth
DDS with passengers do not meet with the
entire approval of his principals. 1t is
charged that considerable trouble has
been experienced with passengers handled
by Mckay. They claimed that they had
made no agreement with Mckay to travel
over any particular route, and In several
cases the Eastern connections of the Gen.
tral Pacific lost traffic.
When Mckay arrives he will be asked to
explain this and some other matters that
are not just to the liking of one or the
other of the parties interested. Taken alto
gether, the recent sojourner in the empire
of the Mikado will be made to undergo
considerable mental tribulation, and the
ultimate outcome may be his resignation.
Should he return to his former post he
will go with new instructions, more def
mite and more calculated to bring traffic
over the lines he will represent.
When seen at the Palace last night Mr..
Lomax declared that his presence here
was only in connection with the usual
routine business incident to his periodic
visits, but he acknowledged that there is

MERGED, CAL, July 17.-Gustav
Koegel, young German pedestrian, in
tended to leave Los Angeles on the 18th
instant and walk to New York in ninety
days on a wager, but he is laid up in
MERGED for repairs. Last night he came in
on the "blind baggage" and stopped over
intending to go on this morning. He met
Charles ]. Thompson, painter by trade,
but youngster with a natural aversion to
work.
Koegel was going to hotel to spend
the evening, but Thompson persuaded
him that it was useless expenditure OF
money, so they stretched out on pile OF
boards in the loft of Landram's lumber
yard.
Koegel was awakened about l o'clock
this morning by a severe blow on the
head. Thompson was the assailant and
an ugly looking coupling-pin the weapon.
Thompson's aim was bad or MERGED
would have been the scene of another
murder. Koegel grappled with his bed
mate, and yelled loudly for assistance.
Thompson then attempted to choke him.
officer Meehan heard the cries and with
Ed Huzzie ran to the scene, where they
captured Thompson as he was attempting
to escape and took him to the County Jail.
The German was taken TO the Cosmopoli-
tan Hotel, where his bruises were dressed
by physician.
This afternoon Thompson was taken be-
fore Justice Read for preliminary exami-
nation. He claims that Koegel attempted
to rob him and he dubbed him in self
defense, but the presence of the coupling.

sault to commit murder with bail fixed al
$4,000.
The assaiant is a hard-looking customer
He has been around here for some little
time and claimed to be painter. A kind
hearted citizen, who took an interest in
him, had secured a job for him, but he
did not seem to enjoy an honest way OF
getting money and soon threw it up.
koegel will be needed as witness at the
Superior Court, so he will not reach New
York on time.
