SUMMIT LAKE FACTIONS CLASH.
Battle for the Possession of an IRRIGATION
Dam-Severai Shots Are Ex-

VISALIA. CAL, May 25.-The war be-
tween factions contending for water
rights in the Summit Lake country, on the
west side is being waged with increased
bitterness. On Saturday night armed
bands fought with revolvers-ope in de-
tense of a dam and the other in an at
tempt to destroy the barrier. The details
of the conflict received here are meager.
Some time ago one of the dams of the
Crescent Ditch Company was blown out
with dynamite by enemies of the COM
pany. 1t was soon replaced and a guard
of six men put in charge. One night the
guards were surprised and overpowered
by body of men, who lost no time in
again destroying the dam. Again the
company restored it and put on guard q

well to satisfy the other faction, which
had become impatient at the slow pro-
cesses of law in water litigation. Last

The Slayer Holds His Victim and
Sends a Bullet Through
His Heart.
THEY HAD BEEN PARTNERS.
A Dispute Over Business Matters Led
to a Quarrel and Sep.
aration.

FRESNO, CAL, May 24.-John W. Lam
bert shot and killed Alexander Betbeder
at Firebaugh last evening. Both were
prominent citizens of their community
and the western portion of the county is
in great excite ment over the affair. The
shooting occurred at Lambert's saloon.
Betbeder was circulating a petition to
have the Supervisors GUST Justice of the
Peace W. S. Crawford from office, and
called upon Lambert for his signature.
This the proprietor of the saloon refused
and hot words were passed.
Up to two months ago Betbeder had an
interest in the saloon. The partnership
was dissolved because of business mis-
understanding. Lambert bought his part
ner's interest, but it appears that the dis
solution did not alleviate hard feeling be-
tween the two men, so when they became
excited over the petition disagreement yes
terday the former trouble was quickly
brought up. Lambert excitedly remarked
to Betbeder:
You have not used me right, anyway"
Betbeder said something in reply and
Lambert called him liar. Betbeder
struck at Lambert, who lodged and struck
| back. AS he did so he turned and ran
toward his bedroom in the rear part of the
saloon. The door leading to it was locked ;
with violent kick he broke it in. In the
meantime Lam bert's barkeeper was hust-
ling Betbeder out of the saloon so as to
prevent trouble. He got about twenty
yards from the entrance to the saloon with
his charge when Lambert came running
out with big pistol in his hand.
While approaching Betbeder and the
| barkeeper Lam bert fired two shots. When
he caught up to them he seized Betbeder
| by the shoulder with his left hand and
| holding the pistol in the other hand to the
| victims breast he sent bullet through
| Betbeder's heart and another through his
right lung.
| Lambert walked quietly back to the sa-
loon and remarked:
al had to kill Kim or he would have got
me-"
| He then started for Mendoza, where he
surrendered to Constable Adams.
| Lambert at present occupies the position
of Roadmaster of the Firebaugh District
| and is well connected throughout the
county. He Is about AZ years of age and
| has always been considered very quiet
| citizen. Betbeder was a Frenchman and %
years of age. He also was held in high
esteem by the community, being a quiet
and industrious young man.

LOS ANGELES HOTTEST DAY.
Southern California Residents Broiied BY
Torrid Wave-Upwdrd Flight of
the MercUry

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 25.-The
ever present oldest inhabitant would have
been delighted under ordinary circum-
stances to descant on the heat of this day
in Los Angeles as compared with the days
when he 'first came to the country in
the fifties or ''just before de wah," but he
is without the energy to do it. 1t is the
second day of the heated term and the
May record breaker. with plenty to spare.
1t has been the hottest day in any month
lished in this city.
At 5 O'Clock this morning the Weather
Bureau man found the thermometer record
ing rs degrees. Just before noon the mers
curry had crawled to the 102 mark. This
registration was taken away up in the air,
on top of the Wilson building. where the
instruments are unaffected by terrestrial
influences. The difference ranges from
to Z degrees-that is, it is from 5 to
degrees hotter down on the sidewalk than
at the signal station. Some Thermometers
registered 100 degrees, others los degrees,
and one or two went up to and slightly
above the 110-degree mark.
An exodus for the mountains and sea
NAV be expected in q few days unless
there Is change for the cooler. At 8
O'Clock this evening the thermometer
registered SIS degrees.

THERE WILL BE NO COMPROMISE.
Democratic Factions to Fight to Ftntsh
at Chicago.

Democratic Factions to Fight to a Fintsh
at Chicago.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 25.-A Herald
special from Washington says: There will
DE no compromise at the Chicago conven-
ton on the money question if the ad-
ministration can prevent it. It will be
fight to a finish so far as President Cleve-
land is concerned.
I'VE want no compromise, no juggling,
no straddling." said a member of the
Cabinet yesterday. "The country can
never have peace and confidence until the
silver goblin is laid away in its grave"
do you concede that the Chicago con-
vention is to be controlled by the silver
menu" was asked.
81 do not. While the outlook is not
bright, the battle is still on. Our reports
from Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio are not
so discouraging. We are going to carry
those States, or two of them at least.
Illinois appears to be dominated by a
local machine which suppresses the voice
of the members of the party. If the
Democrats of Chicago stand on their
rights and refuse to submit to such out
rageous imposition as that put on them by
the machine they will do exactly right.
Ii man proposes to hold a primary with
me he must give me chance to vote. If
the Democrats OF Illinois stand on their
rights and appeal the case to the National
Committee, l believe the National Com
mittee will sustain them. If they have
justice done their side they will be given
seats in the temporary organization of the
convention, just as the gold Democrats of
Nebraska, like Colorado and other States,
were seated"
Suppose the silver men obtain control
of the convention. notwithstanding the
National Committee, and go for free coin
age at 16 to l, will there be another Demo-
cratic ticket in the feId?"
mo matter which side obtains control
of the convention, believe there will be
two Democratic tickets. The silver lead
ers have already threatened to bolt if they
cannot rule. We do not make threats.
But it is obvious Democrats who believe
free coinage will ruin the country cannot
vote for free-silyer candidate for Presi-
dent Nor do we want to vote for Nc
Kinley. There seems nothing to do but to
name ticket of our own and give sound
money Democrats something to rally
round. 1 have no idea whom we would
nominate in case we find it necessary to
put ticket in the field.
eff this were the Presidents first term 1
am satisfied he would be willing to run
again, deliberately sacrificing himself for
the good of the country and the party.
But the prejudice against the third term
changes the case materially, and 1 doubt
if the President would be willing to serve.
He would care nothing for defeat if he
could be of any real service to his party
and the Nation. He is too big and cour-
ageous for that. But he would be accused
of possessing an ambition which stops at
nothing, while we who know him well
know his ambition is satisfied, and that
nothing but great sense of duty could
induce him to have anything more 10 do
with politics"
