A SALMON TRUST.
Gamers to Combine to Protect Their
Interests.

PORTLAND (Or), June 12.-The
strike of $500 fishermen on the lower
Columbia River, M'hich is now going
to pieces, will, it is stated on good au-
thority. have one result that will be
very important in it's bearing on the
salmon industry of the future. The
prospects are that the Columbia River
Packers Association, which was organ
lied last spring, will be followed by a
greater combine modelled after the
Alaska Packing Company.
The cannery men on the river will
consolidate all their establishments
into one enormous plant managed by
one corporation Everything interested
on the river is to be included, and 81
100000 of capital will be subscribed if
necessary to carry out the plans.
J. V. Cook, one of the wealthy can
merry men on the lower river, whose
plant at Cooks fishing station was
burned by the strikers a, few days ago,
and who is a well-known promoter of
the fish industry, says that the attitude
of the fishermen IS rapidly driving the
cannery men into a. combine for self
protection, and he gives it as his opin-
ion that the present strike has helped
it on.
Cook voices the opinion of the other
leading cannery men, and the forma-
tion of a big corporation is assured this
fall. The Gamers say that the indus
try has reached such a point that they
must unite their interests in order to
secure favorable legislation.

TRIAL OF ST LOVERN.
The Prosecution Makes Out Strong
Case Against Accused.

VISALIA, June 12.-The trial of Silas
Lovern is drawing to a close. The last
witness for the prosecution testified
this afternoon, and the case went over
until Tomorrow. 1t is not known how
the defense will proceed in it's attempt
to prove that the proprietor of the noto-
rlous deadfall was not the arch-con-
spirator in the plot to rob the South
ern Pacific overland express at Tagus
on the night of March 18th; that he did
not plan the raid which cost the life Of
Dan Mccall, brave man, though a
menace to society. The prosecution has
made strong case, and it will take
convincing evidence to break the chain
of guilt it has woven around the
saloonist.

A DRUMMER BADLY BEATEN.
He Had Insulted a Fresno County

FRESNO, June 12.-At II o'clock this
afternoon, J. G.. Ramer, who travels for
the Bancroft Company of San Francis
co,was beaten in q terrible manner with
a sungshot in the hands of Charles
Norris of this city. The beating took
place on the corner of and Mar1posa
streets, and caused great excitement.
Deputy Sheriff Timmins attempted to
arrest Norris, and was assaulted by
William Bell, an actor, who was
stranded in Fresno a few weeks ago,
when the Rose Stillman Theatrical
Company disbanded. Timmins had
jerked the slungshot from Norris hand,
when he found himself assaulted from
the rear. He wheeled and struck Bell
with the slungshot and knocked him
down.
4 policeman came to his assistance
and Norris and Bell were taken to jail,
and Ramer covered with blood was
taken away for surgical treatment.
The reason given for the assault is
that Ramer had insulted sister of
Norris She is a school teacher, and
Lamer had secured her a school in this
county She told her brother of the
insult, and he loaded a piece of hose
pipe and hunted for Ramer, and prob
ably disfigured him for life.

1t was learned that Manley's state

of the Speaker in ST. Louis wired him
that they believed Mr.. Manley became
panic-stricken at the demonstration
made by the partisans of Mckinley at
the first meeting Of the National Com

his action satisfied them that "he did

The assertion made by Messrs Man

Massachusetts,, at ST. Louis that the
Speaker would not under any conditions
accept the nomination for Vice-Presi-

Washington, so that there need be no
misunderstanding on that point

THE LATEST STORY.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-The
latest story of murderer Dunham
GENES from Mammoth Tank, on the
Colorado desert, about fifty miles from
the Yuma reservation, and that dis
tance from the Mexican line.
An employe of the Southern Pacific
whose responsibility and integrity is
well vouched for, insists that Dunham
applied for food at the tank on the
night of June Sd. He was fed and
given some clothing. Of which he stood
in great need. The description of the
stranger fits the likeness of Dunham,
which has been distributed broadcast
by the San Jose officers.
The supposed murderer stated that
he was heading for Los Angeles, but II
is known that ne went to Yuma instead
and it is now supposed that he is safely
across the Mexican border
How Dunham could have reached
Mammoth Tank in less than a week
after his flight from Campbells is a
hard problem TO solve. The story given
by the tank keeper, if its author was
not mistaken, bears out the theory that
Durham was Fastening toward the
border while posses were still chasing
up and down Mount Hamilton.
