ROBBER WAS KILLED
Attempted Hold-Up on the
Southern Pacific.
OFFICERS HAD BEEN FoREWARNED
And When the Robber Appeared Were
Ready for Him. His Confederate
Proved False.

VIsALIA, CAL, March 19.-For several
days Sheriff Merritt has known that a
train robbery was contemplated, and
yesterday received information that train
20, going north, would be held up be-
tween Tulare and Goshen. He sent
deputies Vic Reed and Earl Daggett to
Goshen, and took two others with him
to Tulare, and wired o. ]. Mead, a
special officer of the railroad company.
who came south and joined the officers
at Tulare.
The officers left town quietly one at a
time, but were evidently watched, as the
gang at Goshen got word that the Off
GERS had left.
Daggett and Reed got on the engine of
train 10 and crouched down in the coal,
watching for signs of the robbers on each
side of the track. About mile out a
Goshen man climbed over the rear of the
tender and covered the engineer and
fireman, with rife in one hand and a
revolver in the other, ordering their
hands up.
As the officers turned he saw them
and opened fire with his revolver, shoot
ing both of them. They returned the
fire, Daggett's shot taking effect and
killing the robber instantly. Daggett
loaded again, but the robber fell off the
engine. The train ran into Tulare and
the wounded men were taken off and
cared for.
Officers boarded No. 20, and at the
scene of the fight found the body of the
robber and brought it to town. The
dead robber was found to be Dan Nc
Call, a laborer camped near here chop
ping wood. It appears that when he
found that the officers were preparing to
defend train 20 he resolved to hold up
the other train, not knowing the officers
were on it. His confederates deserted
him as he boarded the train at Goshen.
He is named Obi Britt, or Britain Nc
Bride.
The officers this morning arrested st.
Lovern, keeper of notorious deadfall,
and Charles Ardell, barkeeper, and
placed them in Jail. John Haynes,
Salvation Army man, was arrested at his
ranch, eight miles north of here, and 1t
is supposed that one other member of
the gang is to be taken.
Reeds wound is slight. The ball
passed through the feshy part of his
left arm near the shoulder. Daggett is
seriously hurt. The ball entered in
front, passing through the seventh rib
on the left side, and was taken out of his
back. His left lung is injured.
The robber was killed with shotgun,
both barrels taking effect in his abdo-
men. The shot passed through his right
pants pocket, shattering his knife,
entered the bowels, and ranged up
through his body.
Lovern, arrested as an accomplice, is
notorious character. 1t was in his
place that Assessor Frank Coffee was
killed two years ago.

for the Pacific coast, will be of interest
to railroad men all over the country.
That he will be accompanied by Mr..

anneXationists Of Hawaii within the
past year or so, it is we'll known that
they are just as eager now for relation
ship with this nation as ever. They
have b en- forced 10 stand sill in their
efforts by the opposition Of President
Cleveland to their oveTtures, and the
leaders long ago decided to make no
fresh move until a new administration
took hold of the affairs of the govern
ment.
But when Major Mckinley has taken
the oath as president it will probably
be one of his first duties in his new
office to receive a delegation from Ha-
wall and announce his position in re-
gard to Uncle Sam adopting these ISL
ands. When the matter was brought
before President Cleveland, Immediate
ly after Queen Liliuokalanis dethrone-
ment in January Of 1893, many of the
republican leaders favored the propo-
sails of the annexationists and, if these
are still of the same mind, considerable
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Mr.. Mckinley when the question again
comes up.
But the annexationists will not have
clear sailing, by any means. The an

due to the fact that a peculiar coral
formation serves as a breakW2ter for
the harbor at Honolulu, the only safe
harbor in the whole chain of islands.
Although the islands were not really
discovered until 1878, when Cook visit

cation, and in the matter of intelligence
rank far above the aboriginals of other

of the islands had King, but at the

Kamehameha, very sensible mon
arch, had just brought all OF the islands
under one kingdom. This king recog-
nized the force of civilization and wrote
to King George III of England in 1910,
offering to place the islands under
British protection. This offer was &C
cepted, but in 1843 the complete in
dependence Of the kingdom was de-
clared by Great Britain and France.
Originally the Hawaiians were idol
worshippers, and in some of the remote
sections of the islands this form of
religion still exists Kamehameha did
everything possible to wipe out idol
airy in his reign, and his successor
followed up the good work. The first
missionaries did not visit the islands
until 1920; these came from the United

supposition to live for many years with

mind, and is now working it out in
his own transformations way, the estab-
lishment of an almost untried science,
and if he is successful the full measure
of that success will not be apparent I'M

time good citizens of the United
ti-annexationists, the friends and adj
visers of the dethroned queen, have not
been idle during the past two years
They were taught a severe lesson by
the abortive instruction of year ago,
which has made them more circum-
spect in showing their opposition, and
it is suspected that they are now
prompted by influential English resi-
dents, who are not partial to the idea
OF the islands becoming part of the
United States. The English govern
ment is not believed to look with favor
upon annexation either, and for these
reasons there will probably be two
opposing delegations in Washington
when the matter is revived.
The advisers of the dusky ex-uueen
have done everything in their power
to hamper the provisional government
of the islands and have caused Presi-
dent A. B. Dole much trouble. Their
latest move has been to advise the
more ignorant natives to refuse to pay
taxes, and many of these have fed to
the interior of the island of Oahu. ON
which Honolulu is situated, where
they have set up kind of farce COM

AS it is now something more than
possibility that these islands will be-
come part of the United States. a
brief reference to their history will
not be out of place There are eight
islands in tho chain and they are al
most in the middle of the Pacific
ocean. The islands run from south
east to north west in a fairly straight
line. In addition to the eight principal
islands, there are number of little
islets. All of them are of volcanic
origin and they contain the largest
VOLCANOES active and quiescent, in the
world. They cover 500 square miles
in area and the total population is
about 100000, four-ffths of which la

The largest in the group is Hawaii.

New York, Nov. 26.-Cynical folks
generally agree on one thing, and that
is that next to charity nothing is 50
frigid as society, particularly in it's
handling of the affairs of other people.
This was demonstrated emphatically
a few days ago. On the day after the
death of the late Mrs w. H. Wander
bit two representations were made by
those familiar with the affairs of the
Vanderbilt family. One was that in
side of year William K. Vanderbilt
would branch out as the owner OF
great stable, and the other was that
within the same period George w.
Vanderbilt would enter the maF"imo-
NAL arena.
Some of these prophets spoke truer
than they knew. Within ten days w.
K. Vanderbilt announced the fact that
he had purchased a racing stable OF
thirteen yearlings in France and had
also bought an estate which included
mile track Furthermore it was an

nounCed that his horses would be
trained this winter for entrance in the
various events on the continental
tracks next spring.
In explanation of the cause O. these
representations it must be understood
that w. X. Vanderbilt has always as
piTed to the ownership of d racing
stable, but out of Difference TO his
mothers wishes he relinquished his
ambition. The late Mrs. Vanderbilt
was always strongly opposed to horse
racing and in her lifetime her husband
respected those views, although his
one diversion was fast trotting horses.
He owned the best that money could
buy prominent am 0ng them the prem
Ter, Maud S. but he would never CON
sent to their being raced, and when
evel he sold any of them it was al
ways with the stipulation that Their
speed skoEld never be put to profess
sional uses.
1t has been said that w. K. Wander
bilt promised his mother long ago that
he would never buy a race horse while
she lived, and he Kept his word. 1t
has also been said that George Wander
bilt resolved never to marry during the
lifetime Of his mother, an assertion
which may be true; and it may be
false, but society regards it in the
former light Certain it is that for
the past ten years since the death of
W. II. Vanderbilt, he had devoted his
time almost exclusively to the society
of his mother. In the spring, autumn
and part of the winter, they lived to-
gether in the big brownstone palace on
Fifth avenue. The summer they spent
at the Bar Harbor villa and portions
of the winter at his great palace, Bilt-
more, near Ashville n c.
He seldom, if ever, attends any OF
the society functions of the winter
season, even when given by his broth
ers or sisters. This caused some folks
to say that he is a woman hater. but
the truth Of the matter is that he is
exclusive in the choice of friends. anC
the miscellaneous aggregation of people
he is forced to meet at any large socia
gathering is not to his liking. He is
a genuine student, with love Of sat
urating his intellect with heavy knowI
edge, and the butterfly intelligence @
the smart set naturally does not appea
to him.
This trend of his mind is clearl,
shown by the work now in progress a

sumed that he merely wished to estab
