PULLED HIS WHISKERS.
Judge CampbeIl's Unpleasant Ex-
perience Alter the
Show.
He Caused the Arrest Of III Young
Woman Who Pied Him With
CareSSeS.

There are people who do not know
where TO draw the line when they are
buoyed with enthusiasm, and pretty L z
zie Sullivan is memb ber in that class.
Lizzie has always been a warm adm irer
of Police Judge Campbell. even since the
days when. beardless. be was yet an ob-
scure member of the Sacramento bar.
Sne was then tiny tot of two years OF
age and the now famous Judge was almost
a next-door neighbor.
They met often, and in many respects
they grew up together, until his duty to
his country called the promising bar
rister TO this City to serve his fellow
ciiizens.
Lizzie, who is still in her teens, but in
the tull force of WON nhood, strayed
away from home and mas been living in
this City for several months.
Shortly after midnight she stroiled
along Market street in the best of feelings.
She felt the world had been good 10 her,
seeing that the policemen on the beat had
failed 10 gather her in, and she was in
clined to make merry.
1t was at this iunciure that Police Judge
Campbell, his wife and n lady friend
walked up the street. They were on their
way home from the TiyoIi, and a subse-
quent light collation..

Campbell. She knew him in a moment,
and jun ping 10 the front she grabbed him
by the wniskers
You Old son of a gun p she exclaimed,
you can't hide yourself behind that bush.
I'd know you anvw: ere. How have you
been, OLD boy? You're looking fine"
Judge Campbell disentangled his whis-
kers from the girls grip. while the ladies
with him screamed.
Police Officer Burns was in the neigh
| borhood, and under instructions from his
Honor Lizzie Sullivan was placed under
arrest on charges OF disturbing the peace
and OF vagranoy.
The young woman was very penitent in
the morning when she came before Police
Judge Low for trial. She explained how
she believed her friend of childhood was
the greatest Judge on the bench, and she
could not help pulling his whiskers when
she met hlm after years of separation
| She did not intend to hurt either hi:
whiskers or his dignity. and would not dC
1t again if she were allowed to go free.
Judge Campbell relented, and both cas- >:
were dismissed for lack of prosecution.

Two Indians Attack g

Work.
One of the Pair Shot by a Tacoma
officer While Resisting
Arrest.

TACOMA, WASH, Jane 1.-Two
Indians, both ex-convicts and one now
out on bail to answer for an attack upon
a squaw, nearly murdered Napoleon
Lagain. miserly old man who live her
nit life near Sherlock. about twenty miles
from here. The assault was made last
Saturday night and the old man was left
for dead, with blood streaming from a
dozen dagger wounds in his body. The
two Indians attacked him while he lay
| asleep, and with an insane frenzy cut and
slashed until they grew tired of their
brutal work.
Lagain has lived in this country for up
ward OF fifty years, working in the early
days for the Hudson Bay Company. He
was known TO have accumulated some
money, but he lived by himself in the
woods. George and John Williams mad e
the attack on Lagain. They intended to
rob his cabin. but he awoke while they
were at WORK and the two Indians began
stabbing him. At last the cries of the in
firm miser were stilled, and the two
leisurely proceeded 10 ransack the cabin.
Lagaln was accidentally discovered the
next day and word was sent to Olvm pia.
Deputy Sheriff Mcclellan went out to in
vestigate. The crime was quickly traced
to the Williams brothers, and Mcclellan
attempted to arrest them. They resisted
and opened fire on the officer. He re-
piled and the battle was soon terminated
after George had been shot through both
arms.
The prisoners were taken to Olympia
| and later Lagain was carried to the same
! lilac. He is nearly dead, and no hope OF
his recovery is entertained.
George Williams was pardoned by Gov
ernor McGraw just before he went out oi
office. He was serving twelve-year SEN

WHEATLAND, CAL, June 1.-THE
little son of a farmer named Morrill,
whose ranch is 8 few miles from this
place, was attacked by a savage bulldog
yesterday and so severely injured that his
life is despaired OF. Morril. ana his wife
came to this city TO make some purchases
and left the little boy in charge of his aunt.
The lad was playing about the yard with
the dog. which had been his constant
companion for years, when suddenly his
aunt heard him screaming for help and
rushing out of the house found the dog
had him down on the ground and was
tearing the flesh off the boys lower
limbs.
She attacked the brute with a club. but
was unable to drive him away from his
victim. She then went TO a neighboriug
farm for assistance and on returning
found that the lad had managed to escape
into the house. The services OF a physi-
clan were procured, who, on examination
OF the boys injuries, found that the left
leg had been stripped Of its flesh from the
knee 20 the ankle, while the right leg was
badly torn and lacerated.
The child is now in q critical condition
and an amputation OF the left leg will be
necessary. The attending physician is

OTTAWA, ONT, June 11.-One of the
largest and most influential delegations
that ever waited upon any Government,
met Sir Richard Cartwright. w. B. Field
ing and William Patterson last night.
The delegates represented the combined
lumber interest of the Dominion, as well
rs the leading banks. They asked the
NJ mister to take the power TO put duty
OF 81 per thousand on pulp wood and logs.
This IS on account OF the United States
imposing 81 duty on white pine. The
delegates were in earnest ana did little
talking. They will also see Sir Charles
Tupper and Mr.. Foster, who are said to
be in favor OF this policy. The likelihood
is that the Government will agree to the
request.
