SLAIN IN SELF-DEFENSE
officials Investigate the Killing of q Jap
dnese at Fair Oaks.


SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 3O.-Cor-
oner Clark, in company with Lakanye,
the Japanese, who confessed to having
killed and buried companion japanese
last Tuesday, went to Fair Oaks this
morning to exhume the body. On arriv-
ing there, Lakayne pointed out the grave
which is in circle of dense underbrush.
The assistance of a number OF Japanese
was procured, and in a few minutes the
body was exposed. From the waist up
ward the corpse was wrapped IN a blanket,
and it was lying face downward in a hole
from which an immense stump had been
grubbed.
There were two ak wounds, one three
inches long through the center of the head
penetrating the skull, and the other across
the forehead, over the right eye.
By inquiry it was found that the dead
man was vicious, quarrelsome fellow, al
ways seeking trouble with his compatriots
The previous evening he had thrice at
tempted TO pick a quarrel with his slayer
Lakanye's story is to the effect that the
other Japanese rushed at him and struck
at him with the ak, cutting him in the Leg
Lakanve then disarmed him and struck
him on the head, but did not intend to
kill him. When he found that the man
was dead he wrapped him in blanket and
huried him

.fUROR At THE CAPITOL,
Bureau of Highway Members
Resent J. w. McDonald'S
Charges.
Deny That They Gave Inside Infor.
nation to Contractor Touhey
at Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 30.-The
statement of ]. w. Mcdonald in THE CALL
to-day wherein he declares that Contrac-
tor Touhey was given inside information
enabling him to put in a lower bid than
other contractors who were after the con-
tract for illuminating the streets surround
ing the Capitol has raised a storm of in
dignation from the members of the Bureau
of Highways. Mr.. Irwin, when inter
viewed this evening, said:
1.-THE statement that we gave Mr..
Tuohey inside facts as to the price of
rock furnished from Folsom is an abso-
lutte falsehood. 1t would have been i'm
possible for US to give exact figures, q S
Warden Aull did not inform Us as to the
exact cost of crushing until the evening
that the bids were opened, and | was then
enabled to give the exact figures in my
public address to the Capitol City Wheel
men. Every one of the San francisco
com petitOrs called at the Office of the
bureau before formulating his bid, and re-
ceived the same information given to Mr..
Touhey-that is, that we thought the rock
could be furnished at so cents per square
yard.
1.-THE idea that any one could get inside
points is simply absurd, as the press of the
TACT that the establishment of the rock
crushing plant depended on the previous
contracting for at least 50,00 square yards
of road material with satisfactory trans
porIation rates. The fact that such had
been procured was published in THE CALL
of June %, 1895, and the Record Union of
August published the message of the
Mayor of Sacramento, guaranteeing rock
at 20 cents.
''It is impossible that contractors who
keep up with the times would figure on
procuring rocK from private individuals at
81 90 when the press Of the State gave
publicity to the low rates at which State
rock could be procured, and also stated
that the contract for bituminizing the
streets surrounding the Capitol was being
withheld for the purpose of including the
16, 900 square yards necessary for that work
within the $4,000 square yard contract nee
essary to the establishment of the rock
crushing plant.
''None of US have been approached as
was Mr.. Kent, and the only interest we
have in the contracts is to see just as
many miles of good road laid throughout
the State as possible"
Mr.. Touhey emphatically states that he
personally told Mr.. Mcdonald on the 22d
OF the month that rock could be procured
from Folsom at so cents a square yard,
landed on the cars in Sacramento. He
told Mcdonald this on an estimate, as he
never obtained positive figures from the
Bureau of Highways. He claims that
every one of the contractors bidding knew
this rate and used it as basis in their
bids"
Mr.. Touhey also denies that he ever
bought any cobbles from Trustee Kent or
the city, and retaliates by stating that
Mcdonald took cobbles that he never paid
for, and claims he has proof to that ef-

HoRKS IN INJUSTICE.
Cattle Cannot Be Shipped to San Fran
cisco Via Reno.

SUSANVILLE, CAL, March 30.-The
quarantine law recently imposed against
the cattle of northwestern California is
destined to work great hardship to all that
portion of the State lying east OF the
Sierra.
To all intents and purposes it is an en-
barge that affects not only the cattle
dealer but the farmer who sells hay.
Practically it prevents the shipment Of
any cattle from this section to the East,
and it is a matter OF fact that beef destined
for San Francisco and billed through from
Amedee, in Lassen County, is liable to be
quarantined as soon as it crosses the State
line to reach the Central Pacific at Reno.
There are 2500 cattle feeding in Honey
Lake Valley at this time that are thus de-
nied a market, while it is fact that no
reason exists or has ever existed for
quarantine so far as this section is con-
cerned. John Sparks cattle, quarantined
at Omaha and ordered killed, came from
this valley and were in perfect health.
Why the law should have been invoked
against them is a question which may be
best answered by those whose interests are
subserved.
Inc general opinion or the cattlemen
and farmers OF this valley, who are affect
ed by this unjust application of the law,
which is of too extended scope, is that the
recent activity in the matter is due to the
coast purchasers, who desire the reserves
of this part of the State for their own use
No conioint action has yet been taken
here, the outcome of Governor Budds let
ter to the Department of Agriculture
being awaited with the greatest anxiety.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30-Rep-
resentative johnson of California, has been
asked by Governor Budd and Dr. Lane,
the latter the Secretary of the State Board
of Health of California, to protest to the
Secretary of Agriculture against the quar-
antining of California cattle, which are
alleged to be affected with Texas fever.
Johnson saw Secretary Morton this
morning and informed him that DIR. Lane
insisted that the cattle were healthy. DR..
Salmon, the chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry. presented reports, however.
from the agents of the department. of the
Pacific Coast showing that the disease ex,
listed, but that it was confined to cattle
coming from the southern part of the
State.
Secretary Morton explained to Johnson
that before issuing his circular quaran-
timing California cattle he had notified
Governor Budd of his intention, and that
he set forth the legal difficulties which
would prevent him from drawing dlvis-
Ional line between the two sections To
this letter he received no response. The
remedy, he added, was in the Governors s
hands, inasmuch as he. might draw this
line between any points desired, in order
that the quarantine remain in force only
against the affected section without having
any influence upon the remainder of the
