THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Some eighty years ago or so
We had u ruler James Monroe,
Who To a nations did proclaim
Our right OF eminent dom-in
For ever and n thousand year
In all the West rn hemisphere.
Old nations secuted the idea,
Aud then they smiled. and said twas queer
The youngest nation upon earth
To such doctrine should give birth.
When they little older grow
Well teach them that hey must not crow
So loud as TO disturb our slumbers.
Compared 10 Us They're few in numbers,
It's hardly worth our while e. mind
This rooster OF the bantam kind.
Near eighty years went by and then
This doctrine was proclaimed again
Wa 10 proclaimed the World around
And not with an uncertain sound.
Our mother country everywhere
Was gathering in more than her share
OF land that bOrdered her domain,
Which causeh our Uncle To eXclHin:
You must not spoil our Sisters dear
On his our Western Hemisphere,
And II You heed not our request
My sons will do their very best
TO give you Lesson Number Three"
We're sirO ger since we split your tea,
And all the combine you can make
VIII not cause our stout hearts to quake.
They'll gather round their Uncle Sam,
None will be MISSING not man
From north and south and east aud west,
Each will obey old Sans behest
And We will dump you in the sea
From Cape Horn up to Canada

Or from our Congress who retain
Such right To roam the ocean main"
BY thousands forth such crafts will go,

And you will find the little Bantam"

TRIAL OF ST LOVERN.
The Defense Begins the Introduction
of Testimony.

VISALIA. June BIN the Lovern
case the defense began the Introduction
of testimony to-day. Kinds made
short preliminary statement to the
Jury in which he said they would prove
that Lovern had nothing to do with the
robbery He would admit that the
guns had been loaned to Mccall, but the
defendant had no knowledge OF the
use of to which they were TO be put.
The red cloth which has figured SO
largely in the case would be explained
to the perfect satisfaction of the jury.
Several witnesses were placed on the
stand to impeach the testimony OF
Haines about his visits to the saloon,
and Ardell, who is also to be tried for
being an accessory to the attempted
robbery, was put on the stand. His tes-
timony was to the effect that he never
knew Haines, never saw him in the sa-
loon, and that no guns were ever ex-
hibited on the bar as claimed by
Haines He swore the guns were
loaned to Mccall He denied ever see
ing Witness Purcell.
Silas Lovern was called. He denied
ever having seen Britt at his saloon.
He denied all allegations of previous
witnesses that implicated him in the
least. He had not gone to Goshen and
handled the body of Mccall, nor was he
out of Visalia on the night that Nc
Call was slain. Lovern said he wanted
the red cheese-cloth to go over a big
lamp at a house in "Tigertown," used
for a ten-pin alley and a saloon. Nc

HIS HEAD NEARLY CUT OFF.
Horrible Death of a Boy Who Was
''Playirg Horse.'

HOLLISTER, June 13.-A horrible
fatality occurred this morning about Z
o'clock on the Tres-Pinos road, nine
miles from Hollister.
Gordon, the eleven-year-old son of
w. w Mcdonald, led a young colt up
to an iron bucket to water. The animal
had a long dog chain fastened ,lcound
his neck, and while it was drinking
the lad sportively remarked that he
would play horse, too," and strapped
the chain around his neck.
Just then the bucket capsized, which
startled the colt, and jumping back he
threw the lad down This frightened
the animal more, and he started on a
run, dragging the boy after him, and
striking the little fellow with his hind
feet at every jump.
The lad was dragged about 80 yards
and finally the colt jumped through a
barbed wire fence. The wire caught
the boy across the neck and almost cut
his head off, killing himself instantly
When assistance reached the spot the
colt was still kicking at the body and
the chain had not given away

MERGED, June 13.-The fine two
story brick block of Olcese & Gar1baldl,

and belonging to the Galliano estate,
were destroyed by fire tonight.
The conffagration started about
O'Clock in j. Simonds dry goods and

stationery store, all in this block. In
the second story was DR.. Kings dental
office and Mrs. Wards lodging-house.

was so dense, that little property was
saved in the entire block.
From this building the fire spread TO
the Galliano block. This had but Two
tenants. DR.. Castle saved nothing of
his valuable instruments or library H.
Bearwald's family had only time to get
cut with their lives
The work of the fire company and the

blaze to these two buildings, and IN one
hour and half the fire was under con-
troll.

The fire originated from the bursting
of a coal oil lamp in the simon store.

cause it exploded and scattered hre all
over the room.
