cuted by the President of
Mexico.

NOGALES, ARIz, March 10.-Informa-
ton has just been received here from Ell
Paso, Tex, that Lauro Aguirre and Flores
Chapa are in that town, presumably max
ing final arrangements to come to Nogales
to enter Sonora and organize their revolu-
tonary party. The men are being watched
there, and if they attempt to leave the
United States with an armed body of men
efforts will be made to stop them.
1t was rumored late last night that
Agurre was in Nogales, Sonora, in hiding
and the Mexican officials searched several
houses for him. The officials no longer
doubt that an attempt will be made soon
by these persons to get across the line into
the Yaqui country, where they can get all
the fighters they want. They claim that
President Diaz and his administration are
robbing them of their land. which is the
best in the State of Sonora. Large tracts
of land claimed by the Yaquis have been
granted to foreign syndicates for colonial
ton purposes, and this was the cause OF
the last revolution, which has just been
quelled.
These Indians also believe that in the
exiling OF Santa Teresa de Cabora she is
being prosecuted and they are willing
to fight to restore her to Mexican
citizenship and get her property back,
property she was not allowed to dispose OF
nor even to take along her personal effects
in her flight to the United States three
years ago.
A Mexican laborer who resides on the
American side of the line at this place
made remarks last night in favor OF
Aguirre and his followers and was prompt
ly locked up by the Mexican officials, but
was released this morning through the ef-
forts of his American employer Another
company of gendarmes arrived last night
from the south. to be ready for any lnva-
sion of Mexican territory by the revolu.

midnight armed with Winchester rifie,
revolver and a pair of brass knuckles.
Collins was aroused and after some bluster
on the part of Maynard consented to 60
with his visitors to see Phelps. The three
men entered the buggy and Collins ana
Gossage soon began to quarrel. Accord
ing to the testimony Maynard trled TO
steal Collins revolver from his pocket
during the row and Collins, becoming
alarmed jumped from the rig and d]s-
appeared in the darkness.
Maynard, so the prosecution declares,
seeing that his prey hau escaped was filled
with rage at both Gossage and Collins, and
in his drunken madness conceived the idea
of killing Gossage and throwing the blame
on Collins Gossage testifies that he had
alighted from the buggy to open gate
and was standing near the fore wheel
when he saw binding flash come from
the buggy and fell to the ground uncon-
scious from rifle ball through the chest.
1t is said that Maynard then turned the
horse loose, and leaving his victim to his
fate, struck across the fields for home.
The wounded man, after lying for three
hours where he had fallen, managed to
reach barn near by, where he was dis
covered the next morning.
DR.. Gossage of Petaluma, brother of
the wounded man.. says that Maynard
told him that the buggy was surrounded
by band of armed men, who did the
shooting, conveying the impression that
Collins was responsible, and the District
that had Gossage been killed that night it
would be Collins and not Maynard who
would now be on trial.
Attorney John Rogers of Petaluma, en-
gagged to defend Maynard, has not yet
outlined what the defense will be.

THE LAKEWLLE TRAGEDY,
Harry Maynard 'Arraigned for
the Shooting of Winnie
GoSsage.
The Story of a Remarkable Hatred
Told by the Prosecuting
Attorney.

SANTA ROSA, CAL. March 10.-The
trial of Harry Maynard for the shooting
of Winnie Gossage is occupying the atten-
ton of Judge Dougherty aud jury in the
Superior Court. From the opening state
ment of Prosecuting Attorney T. ]. Butts
and the evidence OF the witnesses for the
prosecution a remarkable story of deep
hatred and attempted vengeance is ad-
duced.
Ed Phelps, who was foreman of Senator
Fairs big ranch near Lakeville at the
time of the shooting in December last, be-
came involved IN quarrel with an ex-em-
ploye of the ranch named Collins. The
latter, since leaving the ranch, had been
keeping a saloon at Lakeville and being a
big, husky fellow had nothing to fear from
fair fight with either Phelps or Maynard
MAYNARD was a warm friend of Phelps and
conceived the idea of going down to the
ranch to assist Phelps either in making
peace or whipping Collins. Not having
proven shining success as tighter in the
numerous rows he had engaged in about
Petaluma, he induced Winnie Gossase to
go along on the pretext of taking medicine
to a sick friend. Gossage Is well-built.
active young man who, though very good
natured when sober, is easily induced TO
fight after nbibinga few drinks, and the
theory of the prosecution is that Maynard
expected to get Collins into row and,
with the assistance OF Gossage, administer
a severe beating to him.
They arrived at the Collins saloon about

Los ANGELES INQUEST,
Witnesses Testify That Cycler
Bennett Was Attacked
by Czarske.
Stabbed His ASSailant After He Had
Been Knocked Down for the
Second Time.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 10.-A Cor
oner's jury to-day rendered a verdict that
the death of Fred Czarske, saloon-keeper,
who died Monday afternoon, was caused
by a knife wound inflicted by Elisha
Bennett.
According to the testimony, the killing
of Czarske by Bennett was not such cold
blooded murder as at first reported. The
two most mportant witnesses were w. A.
Burke and Casey Castleman, the we'll
known bicycle riders. Burke and Castle
man testified that they accompanied Ben
nett to Czarskes saloon Saturday evening.
They had a few drinks, and the trouble
began when the barkeeper, Czarskes S
brother-in-law, vilified bicycle riders in
general. Bennett retorted in kind and
one word led to another until the men
became excited and Czarske took part in
the alteration.
Before the quarrel assumed a serious
loon, but returned later to persuade Ben
nett to go home. AS they entered they
saw Bennett on the floor, Czarske having
knocked him down.
As he endeavored to arize Czarske struck
him three hard blows. the last again
knocking him down. Bennett regained
his feet and not needing the request Of his
friends to leave the saloon with them he
attacked Czarske with knife, inflcting a
fatal wound.
Burke and Castleman say neither of
them witnessed the stabbing, as both left
the saloon before it occurred. Mrs. Czarske
and her brother, who were witnesses OF
the affray, both admitted in their testi-
mony that Czarske struck the first blow.

A Half.Hundred Beauties Will
Contest for the Floral
Crown.
POLITICS IS THRUST ASIDE.
Interest Now Centers in the Festival
Campaign-Some of the
Favorites.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, March 10.-Who is
to be queen of the coming rose carnival? :?
This is the question of the day in the City
of Roses. The election of city officers will
be lost sight of now. The mayoralty con-
test becomes insignificant as compared
with the race for throne.
As soon as it was know that the queen
would again be selected by popular ballot
and that for a nickel one could cast vote
for his favorite the big ballot-box in G. A.
Wright's store became the center of at
traction and the little white envelopes
filled with small change soon covered the
bottom of the box. Through the glass
side of the box the names OH many of the
ballots can be read. Among them were
those of Mrs. Thomas Hopper, wife of the
president of the Santa Rosa bank, and
Mrs. Emmet Seawell, District Attorney
SeawelPs handsome spouse. Other bal
lots contain the names OF Mrs. kirsch,
Mrs. Thompson, Miss Alice Ayers, Miss
Jennie Marshall, Miss JuaDita Conley,
Miss Kate Lewis, Miss Gertie Sibbald and
Miss Annie Koch.
1t is expected that there will be fully
fifty candidates in the field at the start,
for, though Santa Rosa is justly proud of
her fruit. her flowers and of her glorious
climate, the proudest boast of a proud
town is of her beautiful women. Indeed,
there is one question on which Mayor ST.
tro and Coils P. Huntington are united,
the Mayor declaring during the last carni-
val that he was born fifty years too soon,
ana the president OF the Southern Pacific
of Kentucky is reported to have remarked
to Station Agent Stone. upon seeing a
crowd of Santa Rosa girls at the depot,
that he would give up all his millions and
take position as brakeman on freight
train if he could only be young man and
run on the Santa Rosa branch of the
Southern Pacific.
The committee on voting consists of
Mrs. L. w. Burris, Charles o. Dunbar and
George Hall.
AS the Supervisors of the county did not
seem disposed to give 500 for beautfying
the courthouse Mrs. E. F. Woodward,
Mrs. l.. W. Burris and Miss Isabel Dono-
van were appointed to assist the five gen.
tlemen composing the original committee,

bination will tackle the county "uad.,"

SACRAMENTO BURGLARY.
A KoIber Captured While Lootin1
House in Daylight.

House in Daylight.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 10.-One
of the most daring daylight burglaries
ever attempted in this city occurred this
afternoon, and the culprit. who gives the
name of James Hart is an occupant of a
cell at the City Prison, having been cap
tured in the act.
Shortly after o'clock a message was re-
ceived at the police station stating that
burglars were at work in the residence of
Frank Sweeney at Sixteenth and G streets.
Night Sergeant OF Police James J. Plum
kett sprang into the patrol wagon and was
driven out to the locality.
Arriving at Sweeney's house he left the
driver to guard the front entrance, and
hurrying to the rear of the residence OBJ
tanned an entrance and began thorough
search of the houss. He was joined by
Driver Fitzgerald and the two went up
stairs and soon succeeded in locating the
burglar, who was secreted behind bureau.
The officers ordered him to throw up his
hands and seeing the futility of attempt
ing resistance he surrendered. He was
handcuffed by Sergeant Plunkett, taken to
the station and locked up.
The man is evidently an old offender and
was provided with complete Kit He is
unknown to any of the members OF the
local force and evidently belongs to the
Eastern talent.

how the gas or water companies could
lower rates.
Rev. Mr.. Crosby eulogized San Rafael,
and favored reduction of rates, as it
would bring people here. He said he had
seen Berkeley's and Fruitvale's popula-
tions grow from hundreds to thousands.
and believed that if people could get to
San Rafael as cheaply as to those places
the town would thrive.
Father Lagan created considerable
amusement by declaring that he was sick
of hearins of the beauties of San Rafael,
and he believed lower rates would mean
more pew rent. Fifty-cent pieces, he said,
now look as big as cart wheels, but the
climate would not bring people here with
the present high railroad fares, and the
town could not be built up with shoddy
aristocracy He wanted the railroad to
look at the matter as business PROPOSE
ton. People would not pay 80 cents to
come TO San Rafael to see our aristocracy y
if they could go to Oakland or BerkeIy

He contended that the consolidation of the
roads would mean much for San Rafael.
Nothing could be done until the legal COM
plications were smoothed over and he asked
the people to wait until the trouble be-
tween the roads was settled.
Mr.. Foster then read the restraining
order, and concluded by saying that he
did not intend to see combination of the
roads. He was interrupted by cheers.

Alter heated speech from Frank John
son, the following resolutions, offered by
James W. Cochran, were adopted:
WHEREAS, In our judgment the city of San
Rafael and its immediate neighborhood are
seriously retarded in their development by
reason of the charges for transportation over
our local railroads and ferries, which charges,
though not excessive in themselves, compare
unfavorably with those OF other suburbs of
San Francisco; and, whereas, We fully believe
that the rates of Is cents for single trip tickets
and So for monthly Communication tickets would
result in q large and immediate increase in
population, far more than sufficient to make
good any loss to the railroads for such reduc-
ton; th erefore, be it
ResOlued, By the citizens of San Rafael, that
committee OF fifteen be appointed by the
chairman Of this meeting TO wait upon the
proper officers of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railroad Company and the North Pa
cifc Coast Railroad Company to present views
and wishes and TO solicit such reduction;
and be it further
Resolved. That should one company grant
this concession and the other refuse it, then
we hereby pledge ourselves. as far as our n
fuence goes, that we give our patronage and
support to the line that considers our request
favorably.

Petition That They Be
Reduced.
BALKED BY DIRECTORS.
President Foster Is Restr aimed
From Acceding to the
Appeal.
HE CANNOT TAKE ACTION.
Taxpayers Adopt Resolutions Re-
questing the Companies to
Aid the Town.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, March 10.-By re-
course to the courts the directors of the
San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad
prevented President Foster from taking
any action in response to San Rafaels ap-
peal for a reduction of transportation rates.
Mr.. Foster said at the mass-lneetlng held
tonight that he had been served with
restraining order at clock to-day. This
order he read in part as follows:
And the plaintiff further AYERS on his in
formation and belief that ii is the intention
of said Foster. without regard to the wishes OF
the majority of the stockholders of said COM
pany, and without the authority of the di-
rectors of said corporation, actually elected as
such, to make reduction in the fares and
treights now charged for services rendered by
SAID company, and particularly in the
said fares charged for transportation of per-
sons between San Francisco and the town of
San Rafael; that the fares now charged be.
tween said points are insufficient to pay for
the service rendered betwee said points, and
that reduction of fares would cause the said
company to suffer great loss in the operation
of its road between said points; that said re-
duction is against the wishes Of plaintiff and
other stockholders who constitute the ma jor-
ity interest of the stockholders of said corpo-
ration and against the judgment and wishes
of majority OF the directors of said corpora
ton, who were actually elected at said annual
election; that if the said freight and fares be
now lowered and it prove that tho said COM
pany be greatly injured thereby it is a ques-
ton of serious doubt whether the same can
ever be restored again.
After reading this Foster said that he
did not feel that he could talk much about
the reduction of rates, the purpose FOR
which the mass-meeting had been called.
When 8 O'Clock. the hour for which the
mass meeting had been called, arrived, the
opera-house was crowded; every available
seat was taken; men were standing in all
parts of the hall. Mayor Mccarthy called
the meeting to order and stated the pur-
pose for which it was called. He said that
If proper transportation was obtained the
town would soon have 10000 inhabitants.
He paid tribute to the beautiful climate
and called attention to the fact that the
Oakland and Berkeley population was
built up by the railroads running frequent
trains at low rates.
T. c. Crowley was chosen ch airman. He
believed it would be wise act for the mar
row and broadgauge roads to reduce their
fares. This would mean larger popula-
ton and reduction in taxation in conse-
quence.
Nj. f. Cochran was chosen secretary of
the meeting. The first speaker called
upon-Frank Johnson-said that unless
railroad rates were lowered and the popu-
lation Of the town increased he did not see

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, March 10.-The
storage reservoir of the Poso irrigation
district, on Poso Flat, was completed yes
terday and water from the creek turned
in. Thirty million gallons daily is flow
