prosch the town at night. and fire

mitted that there has been general

One hundred and City prisoners re-
vo!ted and killed six soldiers, seized
the arms and tried to raise the ma
tives against the garrison. but failed

INALIENAeLe RIGHT IDENTIFIED.
It Il 'Free Land" In the Opinion of t1l
Next washington Govcrnor.

It L. sTree Land,- I'm the Oplnio0 of thD
Next Washington GovcrnOr.
Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 15.-Governof-
elect Rogers has issued q copyrighted
pamphlet containing about 200 words
and entitled Free Land" A copy has
been sent to the members of the legis-
lature which meets next month. He
takes the position that free land is an
''inalienable, imprescriptable, and fnde-
structible" right OF man, and draws
lessons from the freedom end enjoy
ment OF the Puyallup reservation In
dams. which he thinks result from
their free. inalienable. and untaxable
homesteads. His position Is supported
by quotations from Emerson, Ingersoll
and Seneca.
In conclusion he proposes an amend
ment to the state legislature providing
that real estate and all usual improve
ments. to a value of not to exceed 81
500. occupied as a homestead by any
private family, the head Of which is
a citizen of the United States and this
state. shall be forever exempted from
all taxation of every kind. The ex-
emption Is limited to homesteads. The
pamphlet states that the amount ex-
cepted by this scheme would not ex-
ceed 10 per cent. of the entire valuation.
He said such plan enacted into law
will prevent that fatal clash Of the
classes otherwise inevitable" The
pamphlet concludes: County govern
ment should be abolished or reduced
to the merest skeleton OF what IL now
is. Townships and municipal govern
ments can attend to local affairs; let
the state be called in where necessary"

Testifies to the Alleged Plot to Rob Fitz.
simmons-Dr. Lustlg's Statement.
San Francisco, Dec. 15.-Tom Shar-
key. looking little the worse for his
drubbing, was in court yesterday when
the controversy for the possession of
the $4,000 purse was renewed. Fitz-
simmons and Julian attempted to ex-
pose the alleged conspiracy against
FitZsimmons, but when Julian was
asked for positive personal knowledge
he could not give it. He was not
party to the alleged plot Julian related
his efforts to have Lynch join him in
selecting referee, stating that Lynch
purposly placed the choice of a referee in
the hands of the National club. which
named carp. Julian said Police Com
missioner Gunst and Riley Grammar
had come to him before the fight to tell
him ''Earp had been fixed" He quoted
Riley Grammar as having overheard a
conversation between carp and Joe
Harvey. a bookmaker, in the course of
which Harvey said: Then its all right,
is it?' to which carp had replied: You
can depend on me-"
Dr. d. d. Lustig's testimony was not
much relished by Sharkey. He said
he was the medical examiner of the
National club. and had examined Shar-
Key before the fight. After Sharkey had
