In similar case now pending, that of
Jacob against Lorenz and Leibbrandt,
where Mr.. Turner has been connected as
an attorney of record for the plaintiff, a
ruling was made there week ago by
Judge Jones that he was not disqualified,
though at the time he expressed grave
doubts as to the correctness of the ruling
on the proposition, but said that it would
afford the Superior Court test case to
construe the ruling of the statute.

Fatally Injured by the

UNCONSCIOUS IN THE WAT R
An Accident Mars the South Sea
Regatta of the Royal Albert
Club.

LONDON, Enc, Aug. 1S.-The Royal
Albert Yacht Club regatta was continued
at South Sea to-day over the 46-mile course
sailed yesterday. There was a WHOLESALE
breeze from the southwest, but the rain
fell heavily. The starters in the big race
were the Ailsa, Britannia, Satanita and
Meteor. The boats were started at 10
o'clock.
The yacht race for small raters started
at IL o'clock over the same course as that
sailed by the big yachts. but only once
round, twenty-three miles.
The starters were the Saint, Niagara,
Samphire, Audrey. Penitent and Isolde.
While both races were in progress the
Meteor came into collision with the
tWeDty-rater Isolde, dismasting her and
throwing her crew into the sea. All OF the
boats stopped Immediately and began the
rescue of the Isolde's crew, which was
accomplished. The races were then aban-
doned. The accident happened just at
the beginning of the second round of the
big race.
Baron Won Zedwitz, owner of the Isolde,
who was on board his yacht, was struck
in the head and face by some of the frag-
ments of the masts and other parts of the
boats which the collision sent flying in
every direction, and was fatally injured.
Baron Won Zedwitz was unconscious when
he was taken out of the water and in this
condition be was hurriedly conveyed on
board a steam yacht to the clubhouse OF
the Royal Victoria Yacht Club at Ryde,
where he received every possible medical
attention.
1t is understood that he did not regsin
consciousness and that he died very soon
after reaching the clubhouse.
All of the yachts and clubhouses at Spit
head are flying flags at balfmast in conse-
quence of the Baron's death. The crew
of the Isolde experienced some very mar
row escapes. The accident cast q gloom
over everything.
The Isolde was examined after being
towed to Portsmouth, and it was found
that, besides being dismasted and having
all of her gear swept away, she had large
noIe stove IN her bow.
The Meteor sustained no injury what
ever by the collision. The Isolde was a
twenty-rater yacht, constructed by the
Herreshoffs at Bristol, K. L, in 1895 for
Prince Leopold of Germany, who sold the
boat to Baron Won Sedwitz.
Captain MONIES, the skipper of the
Meteor, ascribes the collision of the
Meteor with the Isolde to the fact that
the Britannia did not make way for the
Meteor to pass the Isolde.
As yachtsman Baron Won Zedwitz was
a great sportsman, and he was well liked
in all the English sporting centers.
His wife, the Baroness Won Zedwitz, was
daughter of the late Charles Roosevelt of
New York.

signaIize the ending of the Royal Albert
Yacht Club regatta at South Sea have been

for an officer, and arrived at Constable

Van Horn asked Grow the cause of the

been shot by Jack Littlefeld, and wished
him to be arrested. He told him, how

Bayliss Van Horn, Gordon Van Horn and
Johnnie Crow, the arresting posse, started
about P NJ on November 25, 1895, and
they arrived at Hayden's place about din

they formed a plot to assassinate Little

Bayliss Van Horn and Jack Grow, Con-

NOGALES. ARR, Aug. 18.-A special
from the Tucson Border Vidette, received
at 80 O'Clock this afternoon, reads:
"The United States soldiers ran on
twenty-three rebels near Olive Camp, who
opened fire, wounding three soldiers seri-
ously. The soldiers returned fire, killing
three rebels and capturing twenty and are
now bringing them to Tucson. A courier
from Olive Camp says the soldiers took a
Winchester rife with a silver-m ounted
stock from them"
The news has created considerable excite
ment in Nogales and Colonel Bacon began
wiring TO get news from his commanding
officers in the field. Captain Hare of troop
K, Seventh Cavalry, from Huachuca,
finally received a telegram from United
States Marshal Meade. stating that he be-
lieved the report false.
Olive Camp is little mining place sixty
miles north of Nogales, eight miles west
of the Tucson and Nogales stage road and
twenty-five miles south of Tucson.
The Indian Joseph Salcedo, brought in
last night, is on the list of the original nine.
teen rebels, and has been identified as one
engaged in the fight of the morning of the
18th. All the prisoners were given hear
ing to-day before United States Court Com
missioner Taylor and plead not guilty.
The hearing was postponed to await the
arrival of the United States District At
torney. There is much speculation as to
whether they can be turned over to the
Mexican Government. Once across the
line short work would be made of all of
them.
1t is reported here to-day that the Next
can Government has already made requi-
sition on the United States Government
for Lauro Aguirre and Teresa De Cabora
and her father, who is with her at Ell Paso.
The Indian prisoners say her father is
more to blame than she, as the girl does
about as he wants her to. Aguirre is the
worst, they say, as he has control over
Santa Teresa father. Aguirre is highly
educated man in his language, but heavy
drinker and nearly always under the in
huence of liquor. He is very sour man
and is sort of an anarchist. Many
Am orleans here who took part in the fight
are now afraid that he may take notion
to have them murdered.
They believe he could have it done by a
word if he saw ut. Ii the Mexican Gov
eminent gets him he will not have any
body killed. 1t is estimated by the Mex
lean officials here that he and Santa
Teresa by their influence have caused the
death of more than 1000 people in the last
six or seven years. None of the Yaquis
who quit work on the railway and who
were around town the day before the at
tack on Nogales returned to work or re-
turned to get their pay. Work on the
building on which they were employed
has been suspended.
