DURYEE SUSTAINS DEFEAT
DR.. VeaSy Gave the Young Cr0quet
Player a Setback.
BEAUTIFUL Games Played Yesterday
in the Tourna ment Standing
of the CONTESTANTS.

Pleasant weather yesterday brought out
an increased attendance for the games OF
the croquet tournament. Among those
present at the games at both grounds were
a number of ladies. The play in each game
was interesting.
The early morning games brought the
first defeat this year for young Sackett
Duryee. Duryee beat the thrice champion
OF the United States in sharply contest
ed game on Tuesday, and his star was
steadily rising in the croQuet armament.
The game in which he met his waterloo
was with Mr.. Veasey OF Wilmington, who
had just entered the first division of play
ers. The Wilmington mans entrance TO
this division was brought a bout by winning
the tie game from two competitors with
whom he was tied in last years games.
Duryee is regarded as the champion OF 80,
and his defeat at the hands of Mr.. Veasey
is a good omen for the playing of the latter.
The game yesterday between the two was
closely watched by the spectators.
Mr.. Eeasey was here last yearand then
played a fairly good game. This year he
has greatly improved. He plays left
handed and shows great precision OF stroke
and delicacy of touch, combined with keen
judgment in the conduct of the play.
Sixteen games were played yesterday on
the two grounds, and the result was as
follows:
First dIvision-veasey VS. Sisson, Twelfth
street grounds: Veasey VS.. Duryee, Twelfth
street grounds: Harris VS.. Jacobus, Twelfth

JONES' STORY OF sELF-DEFENsE
In THE TRIAL AT MURRAY.
The Witness Claims He was At
tacked-His Mind a Blank
ON Some Points.

Murray, Idaho, March Is. - Walter
Jones told his story of the killing of DR..
Hughes today. He was on the stand all
day and had not finished when court
adjourned.
According to his story, he went to-the
office of DR.. Hughes, intending to apol-
ogize to DR.. Edwin Hughes for causing
his arrest. He found only Dr. C. A.
Hughes in and told him why he had
called. AS Edwin was out, Jones talked
some time with the elder doctor, both
being gentlemanly in their behavior and
language. He finally told the doctor
that had he not misrepresented matters
he would not have caused Edwin's ar
rest. The doctor claimed he had mis-
represented no one, and said: IT told
you the truth, and you called me
liar (the same remark testified to by
Mrs. Hughes as having heard when she
came to the door. after more talk
Jones continued, "the doctor requested
that they be allowed to treat Mrs.
Jones'" Jones replied to that PROPOSE
ton that they were strangers and he
wanted them to leave his private af-
fairs alone. Warm words followed by
both, until the doctor commenced walk
ing the floor with a knife in his hand.
He finally grabbed Jones coat with his
left hand and made motion as If to
stab with the knife. Jones then shot
him.
On cross-examination there were
many things Jones could not remember
OF some he had a distinct recollection
but he had no knowledge of what fol-
lowed. He didn't know what kind Of a
knife the doctor had and at first he
didn't know if it was open. Shortly
afterwards, he corrected this statement
and knew it was opened. He faltered,
blundered and forgot continually un-
der cross-examination.
All other witnesses Of the defense
tended to show that Jones was drunk,
but he claimed he had a clear and a
perfect knowledge of the matter.

WAS OPPOSED ACROSS rur rrrv
"eo mountain Railway Bill SIGNED
In the Last Hour.

washington, March 16.-Persons in
terested in the Red Mountain railway
obtaining right Of way through the
Colville Indian reservation were on net
Tres TOT ~ days fearing that the presi-
dent would veto the bill. The truth is
1t was signed in the very last hour Of
the very last day. Had it not been
signed, OF course it would have become
law by limitation; but up to the time
OF his affixing his signature the presi-
dent might, on the other hand, have re-
turned the bill to congress with his dis
approval. There were certain inter-
ested parties who did their best to Sc
cure a veto but were prevented by the
vigilance of Representative Hyde. The
bill was approved by the commissioner
OF Indian affairs and by the secretary
of the interior, but before it was re-
turned to the president for his sigma
ture large amount of correspondence
had become attached to the measure
nearly all Of which was in the nature
of protests. Mr.. Hyde paid two or three
visits to the White house and thorough
ly explained the purposes Of the meas
ure and how great would be it's aid in
developing the country. He had also
been informed from Spokane that the
opposition was solely in the interests
of the Trail tramWay, a British Column
bia line of railroad, which is now being
constructed in competition with the Red
Mountain railway The promoters Of
the Trail tramway even went so far as
to send an ernissary to the Colville
agency with instruction ito obtain, If
possible, a petition from the Indians
against the construction of the road.
The matter was pretty thoroughly
worked up by our. British Columbia
neighborS, but it failed because of
Washington's watchful representatives..

WAS BURIED BY AN AVALANCHE
HALEY PROPRIETOR Dug Out OF HIS
Wrecked Cabin.

Boise, Idaho, March ia special to
the Statesman from HALEY, Idaho, says:
Henry Boos, German aged SO, was
found dead under four feet of snow in
Panther gulch, on Deer creek, IL miles
north Of HALEY, today Boos was
miner, and on going to his claim last
fall had provided sufficient provisions
to last until spring. He was a hermit,
and for this reason no apprehension
was entertained by his non-appearance
in town during the winter season. f. L.
Bradley, Familiarity known as Splinter
Bradley, is working his mine one mile
below, and he decided last evening to
visit Boos and take him some reading
matter. When arriving there he found
the upper half of the cabin carried away
by a snowslide, the lower half being
buried under snow. He returned, and
with others proceeded to the place this
morning to search for Boos. They dug
out the lower half of the cabin, under
four feet of icy snow, and found the
body Of Boos frozen stiff in bed, evil
IDENTIFY having been killed instantly, and
it is supposed the fatal slide occurred
60 days ago. The deceased was an hon.
est, Industrious man, and has no rela-
tives in this country.
