grain-inspe law of 1895 is to be tested

Both Companies of
Militia.
Believes There Is No Longer
Danger of an Attempted
Lynching.
Miss PoIrler Denies the Report
That VinelIi Talked to Her
of Love.

COLUSA, CAL, Aug. 26.-The excite
ment hich has prevailed here nearly all
week over the attempted lynching OF
Pedro VinelH, the Mexican who shot
pretty little 15-year-old Florine Poirier at
the Colusa bridge last Tuesday, has about
subsided, although some who on the uiet
claim to know what they are talking about
say that the mob leaders are only bIding
their time and will again attempt to hang
the would-be murderer, whether the girl
lives or dies.
At any rate Sheriff Jones feels secure
enough, with his little band of eight
guards, to have dismissed beth companies
OF the National Guard which have been
here subject 10 his command for the past
two days in charge of Major w. w. Doug
lass of the Second Infantry, National
Guard of California.
The wounded girl has rested well all
day, and appears much brighter than she
has at any time since the tragedy. One
bullet-the first one fired and which en-
tered the girls left breast-has been To-
Gated at the point of the left shoulder
blade. and will probably be removed on
Monday. The other, which entered her

been located.
The Mexican does not improve and lies
suffering awful agony on his lonely cot in
the county jail from the bullets which he
sent crashing into mis- breast in his at
tempt at self-destruction. He refuses to
talk to any one except the priest, to whom,
II is said, he has made a full statement OF
his crime. He is of slender build and
very dark complexion, ABOUT 45 years of
age, and has lived in and around Colusa
for the past twelve or fifteen years, doing
odd jobs around town.
VineIi was never known to have been
in any trouble here until last May, when
he lay in wait for this same girl at the
same bridge and made an attempt to
shoot her. He was prevented by persons
who happened to be passing, and who no.
titled her father. The affair was allowed
to drop to prevent unpleasant notoriety.
Since that time he had not attempted to
molest her until he so nearly endeI her
life last Tuesday.
She was not out walking with him at
the time of the previous trouble as was
stated in two morning contem poraries of
