INTERESTING DECISION.
Rights of Citizen While in His Own
Home Defined.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-The Su-
preme Court rendered an interesting
decision this afternoon relative to the
rights of citizens while in their own
homes.
The opinion was in the case of Frank
A. Lewis. convicted of manslaughter IN
Shasta County some time ago. Lewis
was charged with killing his brother
in-law, Farrell by name. The two men
had quarreled, and brother-in-law
Farrell advanced threateningly with a
single-tree in hand. Lewis picked up
a rifle and fired. Lewis went to town to
give himself up, and Farrells sister
put him to bed and prepared bandages.
pending arrival of the physician While
lying in bed Farrell cut his throat with
clasp knife.
In instructing the jury in the case
the Judge said that Lewis might have
evaded murder had he retreated, and
on this showing Lewis was convicted.
The decision of the Supreme Court says
that man attacked in his own house
is not called upon to retreat from any
aggressor, even if the life of the ag-
gressor is in the balance. On this point
did the case of Lewis hinge, and a
new trial was ordered.

ARSON IN THE SECOND DEGREE
Mrs. rlaIcoImsOn Found Guilty of Set
ting Fire to Her House.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2l.-Mrs.
Kate Malcolmson, who has been on trial
before Superior Judge Cook and a jury
on charge of setting fire to her lodging
house at 131 Taylor street, was found
guilty to-day of arson in the second
degree.
When the verdict was announced Mrs.
Malcomson was seized with Mysteries,
and was carried screaming from the
courtroom. She was taken downstairs
to the City Prison, where she became so
violent that it was thought best to take
her to the Receiving Hospital. She was
there strapped to one of the iron cots in
the female ward. She recovered slowly
under medical treatment, and will be
removed to the County Jail tomorrow.

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
The Late Superintendent of the De-
partment of Insurance of Illinois.

CHICAGO, May 21-The POST to-
day says:
Bradford X. Durfee, late Superin-
tendent of the Department of Insur-
ance for the State of Illinois, has not
yet settled with the State. He went
out of office May 9th, turning over to
James r. Van Cleave, the new Super
intendent, all the books, records and
furniture appertaining to his office, and
holding receipts from the Auditor
showing he had paid into the State
Treasury about half million dollars,
the cash income of his office.
Mr.. Durfee in the four years of his
incumbency received of public moneys
S12S, ,S94. The difference between the
receipts and $5O9,97S is the amount of
cash still remaining in Mr.. Durfee's
hands-or at least withheld from the
State, its rightful owner, and it was at
the time of his retirement the amount
that the last Insurance Commissioner
failed to pay. He was at that date
S21S,91S short in his accounts
The Post" also prints letters from
Insurance Superintendent Van Cleave
and State Auditor Mccullough outlin-
ing these claims.

FATAL MISTAKE.
A Ranch Hand Uses Arsenic Instead
of Baking Powder.

OAKLAND, May 27.-Fred. Beeson,
an employe on the ranch of Harry
Morse at Sunol, used arsenic instead OF
baking powder in making a batch or
bread to-day. Beeson is dead, another
man is dying and several others are
dangerously i'll.
Beeson was a new hand on the ranch.
To-day it was found necessary to Sc
cure a cook, and Beeson was asked IL
he could fill the position. He SAID ne
could do plain cooking. He was put 10
work in the kitchen, and his first work
was to bake up batch of bread ana
biscuits for the evening meal. When
looking around the kitchen for soda he
found some white powder in baking
powder can. He assumed that it was
soda and he added three heaplng
spoonsful to the dough. Beeson set
aside some of the dough for biscuits,
and then baked a batch of bread. Ihe
dinner was served and Beeson and one
other man partook heartily of the bis
cults. The others ate more sparlngly
with the result stated above.
An investigation proved that the pow
der used was arsenic.
