ing with the cathode ray and has met
with much success. The apparatus used
was constructed by DR.. Hall. Several fine
negatives and photographs have been
taken and number of objects photo
graphed through piece of ebony an
eighth of an inch in thickness. Ebony is
black in color and one of the hardest
woods known. Under the piece of wood
was placed the following objects: A piece
of human flesh containing a conical bull
let, riangular-shaped piece of glass, a
steel scalpel, three coins fgold, silver and
nickeD. compass in a morocco case, a
percussion hammer made of hard rubber
and steel and lead pencil. The photo
graph that was printed from this negative
is very interesting study. The piece of
human flesh shows very family, but the
bullet is clearly revealed as dark object.

THAT F0UR-HANDEO DUEL
The Two Survivors of the Fight
on the Desert Taken to

A Rich Mining Discovery Caused the
Tragedy = Story of the
Nicho!sons.

RIVERSIDE, CAL, March 15.-Consta-
BILE II. M. Carpenter of Banning arrived
in this city to-day with ]. ]. and P. r..
Nicholson, the men who engaged in a fight
on the desert with James Roop and r.
Conover which ended in the killing of the
two last named. Both the prisoners are
now in the county Jail.
The evidence taken at the inquest held
at Banning yesterday was supplied by the
Ncholsons themselves. Their story. as
told to the Coroner's jury. fixes all the
blame for the trouble upon Roop and
Conover and especially upon the former
According to the story of the Nicholsons
J. J. Nicholson had made rich discovery
and because he had neglected to take
Roop in on the claim, the latter was wroth
and at once started the trouble.
Roop Dragged that he had had trouble
before and that he was not averse to more.
as the opportunities were good to get out
of the country. Roop thereupon picked
up gun and shot P. r. Nicholson, Como
yer assaulting him with pickhandle at
the same time. Nicholson called to his
brother to assist him, and the latter then
fred the two fatal shots. J. j. Nicholson,
who did the killing, then carried the
corpses of his victims into the cabin and
afterward started for Banning with his
wounded brother.
P. R. Nicholson has a badly wounded
arm, bullet from Roop's rifle entering
near the hand and making an exit near
the elbow.
The Nicholsons are Canadians. and
J. j., who did the shooting, is little more
than boy, being but % years of age.
The men are cool, and claim to regret the
shooting, which, however, they insist was
done in self-defense.
The Nicholsons will be taken back to
Banning tomorrow for preliminary ex-
animation. The men are charged with
murder, but they being the only witnesses
to the affray it is not probable that con-
viction will ever be had.

owners, through Captain L. M. Garrison,
their agent, declare they will not accede to
the demand for an increase in wages, and
the captain asserts that it will be no

be so easily done, because of so many sail
