An Ancient Eeud

CRESCENT CITY, Ore, Nov. 13.-
feud between the Van Pelts and Cool
idges was resumed and resulted in the
killing of Al Coolidge and the wounding
of w. w. Smith on Thursday by parties
in ambush. The two men shot We're the
two previously reported as the attack
ing parties in two former engagements,
one on the 7th of last month and the
other on the 14th.
Coolidge and Smith had been to John
Cooley's place, about two miles up the
Chetco River, and were returning in
two-horse wagon. About 4 o'clock in
the afternoon they were fired upon from
the front by parties in concealment, Cool
idge falling lifeless in the bed of the
wagon
Smith was at the same instant hurled
to the ground, and knowing the peril
of long remaining there, he scrambled
down the steep hill and seeking the
shelter of trees and rocks, succeeded in
getting back to the place of Cooley,
with whom he returned to find the corpse
of Coolidge.
No arrest has so far been made, nor is
there any we'll defined suspicion as to
the individual who did the shooting.

MISUSED SAILORS
Unable to Produce Evidence to Con-
vict Mate Johnson

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-Owing to
the insufficiency of the evidence pro-
duced today, United States Commits
sioner Heacock dismissed the charge of
beating and manning a sailor on the
high seas placed against Mate Charles
Johnson of the ship John A. Briggs.
George Nichols was the prosecuting wit
ness. He testified that during the voy-
age from the port of Baltimore to this
city, one night while he was at the wheel
johnson severely reprimanded him for
the reason that the sailor did not keep
the ship steady. Nichols further testi-
fled that the mate struck him with his
fist, and, knocking him down, repeated
ly kicked him. Nichols said that he
was alone in the wheel house at the
time and that there We're no witnesses
present. Johnson thereupon took the
stand in his own behalf and denied
Nichols story in toto, declaring that at
no time had he ever struck any of the
sailors. There being no further tesei-
mony, Commissioner Heacock could do
nothing but dismiss the prisoner.

SATISFIED

to the Reorganization of
the Turkish Army
Associated Press Special Wire.


CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 1S.-The
Russian embassy here has made an i'm
portant announcement to the Turkish

Turkey intends to apply part of the
Greek indemnity to an increase of Turk
ish ornaments, Russia desires to re-
mind Turkey of the unpaid arrears of
the Russo Turkish war indemnity,
which amount to 91,300,OOO adding, if
the Turkish policy is as indicated, Rus
sia will demand the payment of this
amount
The Russian pronuncamento has
strongly impressed the diplomatic corps,
who believe it is directed against the
plans to reorganize the Turkish army.
Agents of Herr Krupp and of the Els
wick works Of Great Britain (the Arm
strongs) visited Constantinople last
month with proposals for the reconstruc-
ton of the Turkish navy. 1t was be-
lieved at the time that Emperor William
of Germany had appealed to the Sultan
in favor of Herr Krupp's proposals, but
there was said to be a strong feeling at
the Turkish capital in favor of the Brit
ish proposals.
Later 1t was announced that the Turk
ish government had opened a credit of
100000 in London to defray the expense
of engaging skilled workmen as over
seers in the contemplated reconstruction
of the Turkish navy.
