This For Shooting the Chinese
Detective, An Fat in the Leg.
DEFENSE OFFERS NO EVIDENCE.
Luha tells About .FuriousIy Driven Hack.
Knows Difference Between Mules and
HOrses-Deteetive David KAPPA TelIslWhat
He Knows About the Case-AppeaI Noted.

The case of Arthur Fitzgerald for
shooting All Fat, the Chinese detective
on the morning of August Goth. was
continued in the police court yesterday
after the minor cases had been dis
posed of.
Luha testified as to being a resident
of Kapalama and that he was awak-
ened on the morning of August 26th
by the report of gun. He walked out
on the veranda and had been standing
there but a short time when he heard
the Insane Asylum bell strike six
times. Heard three reports and then
a whistle A hack without light drove
furiously toward his place which is
close to the Peterson barn. He could
not see the number of the hack or the
color of the horse on account Of the
darkness. The hack went towards
King street.
Cross-examined-Iw was the one who
told KAPPA of the hack. 1t is my po-
sitive knowledge that it was a horse
and not a mule.
Just here the defense had long
series of questions TO ask Luha about
horses and mules, and if he knew the
difference between the same. The on
" answer that could be obtained was
to the effect that it was rather dark
at the time and objects were not plain
Iy visible.
Continuing Lula stated in cross
examination-Hack went flying past
\just after whistle was blown. Have
lived in Kapalama twenty years. Didn't
see the hack go into the yard. Was
asleep. Couldn't see the driver and
don't know if there were any passen-
gers.
Kapaha stated that he had heard the
report of the gun, the blowing of the
whistle and the striking of the Insane
Asylum bell.
D. KAPPA sworn, stated-On August
oath, 1896, Mr.. Dow received a tele
phone message from Peterson's re
garding the finding of the money.
Went out and found Misses Peterson
and Harbottle who showed me where
the nickels had been hidden. Station
ed Chun Poon and Enoka there. At
about o'clock took All Fat there to
show him the place. On Tuesday morn
ing, August 25th, at about O'Clock,
went up again. Fitzgerald was not
there. Found rifle with fixed bayonet
in Fitzgerald's room. 1t was loaded
When defendant was home in the at
ternoon L searched the premises and
found these tags on mauka side of
Fitzgerald's house. Found pieces OF
paper close to where the stove was.
After J. Bachelors testimony re-
garding examination of the rife, pro-
secution rested.
Prosecution admitted that defendant
was a member of Company H and was
entitled to a rifle.
Defense offered no evidence. De-
PENDANT found guilty as charged. Sen
fenced to Imprisonment at hard labor
for two years and to pay costs.

CAPTAIN JOHN G.. BOURKE
Death Announced of a WeIi-Known
Indian Fighter.

PHILADELPHIA, June S.-Captain
John G.. Bourke, Third Cavalry,U. S. A.,
died here this morning. CAPTAIN
Bourke was stationed at Fort Ethan
Allen, Vermont. His wife was with
him when he died, but the daughters
were at their home in Burlington, Vt.
The remains will be inferred in the
National Cemetery at Arlington.
Captain Bourke was as well known
for his writing as his fighting of In
dams, his talent being in the direction
OF their anthropolOgy and folk lore. He
was a stanch friend of the red men
of America in time of peace. He was a
member of scientific societies in France.
England and the United States. One
OF his most valuable works on the
medicine men" of the Apaches was pub

His most popular books are: "The
Snake Dance of the Moquis,' which he
was the first white man to describe
in book form, being an eyewitness;
"An Apache Campaign, ION the Bor-
der with Cook all of which have had
English editions.
At the last meeting of the American
Folk Lore Society, Captain Bourke was

IMPORTANT DECISION
Relating to the MOrtgaging of Conn
munity Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-A de-
cision of interest to every woman in
California was rendered by the Court
of Appeals to-day. The opinion was
read by Judge Ross, Associate Judges
Hawley and Gilbert concurrring.
The case in question was one of long
standing, David Heartfelt against Fred
W. Bridges ct al, to quiet the title to
certain land in the city and county Of
San Francisco. Both parties claimed
the property in question under a title
from John H. Daley to whom a quit
claim deed was executed by the city and
county Of San Francisco March >, 1890.
1t appears that Daley, long since dead,
mortgaged during his lifetime the land
now in litigation to David Heartfelt.
Mrs. Daley, on the death of her hus-
band, laid claim to the estate. on the
ground that it was community prop
erty, and that consequently her hus-
band had no right to mortgage it with
out her consent.
r,he lower court, however, enter
tanned a contrary opinion. and now the
Court of Appeals sustains that posi-
ton. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
the husband has a right to mortgage
any property standing in his name, re-
gardless of the fact that his wife might
be equally interested in the same.

REDDING, June S-The beautiful
little town of Lake City. in the foothills
at the head of Surprise Valley. in Modoc
County, is a scene of devastation. ruin
and disaster. What was once n brisk
and lively town of 800 inhabitants, with
neat dwellings and substantial busi-
ness houses is now almost total
wreck.
Last Friday the Inhabitants of Lake
City were aroused from their early
morning slumhers by the roar and rush
of angry waters. and before many OF
them had time TO look after their own
safety, let alone attempting 10 save
any of their effects from their resi-
dences or business places, a flood of
water came pouring down upon them.
carrying destruction IN its path.
The water came In the shape OF a
huge spout, and WAS a verStahle water
cyclone. II struck the town with tre-
mendous force right in its center, and
nearly every house is a wreck.
The frightened people hurried TO and
fro in frantic efforts - save themselves
from what seemed inevitable death.
Trees and small buildings were swept
down the streets with terrific force
and the most substantial structures
were weakened and wrenched by the
waters. Dry's Touring mill was COM
pletely ruined, the damage being esti-
mated at $4,000. W. T. Cressler's store
house and residence were swept away,
and his family barely escaped with
their lives. Mrs. Hamlln. a widow liv

her feet and carried down street for

GUS injuries. She was finally rescued
just as she was about to be carried
down the main stream to almost certain
death.
The whole town was undermined, and
the damage is estimated at over $50, 900,
which is great, considering the size of
the place.
At Alturas, the county seat of Modoc
County, about twenty miles from Lake
city, the spout struck Friday, later in
the day. In a few moments all the
streets were converted into small ca
nails, and the people were driven to the
upper stories. and roofs of their houses
for safety. Boats were brought into
use, and the only travel for hours was

is almost entirely suspended. Out of
four substantial bridges across Thom's
Creek, only one remains. The others
were washed away. Across Cedar
Creek two bridges were carried away.

County has such a storm been expe-
rienced, and it is a miracle that no lives
have been lost.
The waterspout started near the
north fork of Pitt River, and travelled
in a northeasterly direction for about
thirty miles before it spent It's force
