STABBED Am OLD MAN.
Henry PoLander in Jail at Hanford
for an Assault Upon John
Kendrick.

HANFORD, CAL, Sept. 26.-Henry Pol
lander, q years of age, to-day stabbed and
probably fatally wounded John Kendriek,
a man about so years old.
The exact cause OF tho affray is not
known as Pollander was not disposed to
talk when seen at the Jail.
1t seems that some one tried 10 rob Pol
lander while he was asleep this morning,
and Pollander thought that Kendrick was
the miscreant.
This afternoon while Kendrick was sit
ting on the Southern Pacific depot plat
form Pollander went up to him and COM
menced iabbing him with pocket-knife,
inficting several bad wounds about his
head and shoulders.
Constable Goodrch interfered, but Pol
lander drove him back by fourishing the
knife. He was overpowered and taken to
Jail. Kendrick was taken to the county
hospital, where his wounds were exam
ined and it was found that he had a bad
cut In his left side, just below his heart,
which may cause death.
Eye-witnesses say that no quarrel pre-
ceded the cutting, but that Pollander de-
liberately pounced upon the old man and
with the knife commenced his deadly
work.

Series of Engagements Between Gov

NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. PA spe-

vador, says: --latest news received in this
city from Guatemala is that several en-
gagements have taken place between the
Government and rebel forces near Quezal-
ienango, and that each fight has resulted
in the defeat of the Government troops.
Fighting in each instance has been
caused directly By theGovernment's effort
to take Quezaltenango from the rebels.
General Socorro de Leon, who was sent
by President Barrios into the lighting dis
trict with large force of men. has gone
over to the revoiutionists, taking all his
men. His first act after joining the re bel

The Government has just sent 600 me n

Cham perico, which port is in the rebels
hands. The true story of the capture by
the insurgents of the seaport of Ocos as

in a Carriage They Engaged
at a Livery.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 26.-Two men
giving the names of Charles Jackson and
George Williams were arrested in this city
this afternoon and charged with holding
up the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
Company's train near Clarnie, seven miles
from this city. last night. Engineer Evans
and Fireman Wilkes. who were on the an
CINE, positively identih, d them as the pair
who led them down the track after the
holdup.
While the men appear to be veterans in
their business, their plans last night were
carried out in most bungling manner.
The sum total of their haul was $16 in
cash and watch, which they took from
the engineer and fireman.
The clue which led to the arrest of the
highwaymen was given by Mrs. HamiI-
ton, who keeps a lodging house at 50
Seventh street. On Wednesday two
strangers came to her house and engaged
lodgings. While arranging the room after
the men had gone out the second day,
Mrs. Hamilton noticed two shotguns, two
revolvers and square box marked, "Be-
ware; handle with care" She thought
nothing of this until last evening about 5
o. o'clock, when the two men drove up to
the house in a carriage. Williams the
younger, got out and went into the house
and soon came out with the guns In bis
hands. Another "trip was made and this
time he carried out the square box on
which the warning was written, and care
fully placed it in the buggy.
When Mrs. Hamilton read in this
mornings paper that train had been
held up Just outside the city limits last
night she quickly associated the move
ments of her two dodgers with the affair.
She notified the Chief of Police of the &C.
tions of her roomers, and said that they
were in their rooms.
Chief Barry and four men went to the
house at 2 o'clock this afternoon. De-
tective Joseph Reilly was sent into the
house while the remainder of the force
stood guard on the sidewalk. As soon as
the robbers saw Reilly Williams jumped
for his weapons, but the detective was too
quick for him, ana covered each man with
revolver. Chief Barry and his force
then rushed in and handcuffed the men
and hurried them away to the city Jail.
In searching for evidence near the scene
of the holG-up the police found fifteen
StlchS Oh uyuamlIe, WHICH efluently tHey
intended TO use in blowing open the safe
OF the exprees-car. The police are of the
opinion that there wero others in the
gang but that some of them failed TO
reach the appointed place on time, which
caused their plans to miscarry.
The highwaymen hired the carriage at
livery able late in the afternoon, and
returned it about 10: 80 clock last night,
about an hour alter the hold-up. This
morning Engineer Evans pocketbook,
which the robbers took from him, was
found in the carriage.
The men are charged with train rob-
berry, but it is probable an additional
charge of stopping the United States
mails viii be entered against them by the
United States Government.

Stockton certainly is not one of the

Il is true that The people who have set

bright, moral and honorable as any in the
world, but it is equally true that there is
here a certain cowboy contingent left over
from the earlier days which is uncouth,
unrefined and sometimes vicious. And it
is equally true that our childr n, growing
under the influence of that element and
all that accompanies it, cannot be as
moral and refined as they would be under
better conditions. A rowdy is rowdy in
Boston as well as in the San Joaquin
Valley, but the influence of that rowdy
will be smallest in the town which sup
plies the largest counter influence. We
have much to be proud of and glad for in
California, but we do certainly need some
things we have not yet attained, and no
one realizes that more than the parent
who desires the largest and best oppor-

If it results in arousing better ooserV-

of the young, it will only be an unex-

Now Mrs. Wilmerding is at the Ger
ZACH, on West Twenty-seventh street.
where she has taken rooms Tor the winter.
Her husb bsnd lives on Staten Island when

Wilmerdings have not been happy to-
gether for some months; that once they
separated for time. but their friends ef-
fected what seemed to be reconciliation.
Stories of further infelicities were cur.
rent all summer, and Mrs. Wilmsrding
has not stopped to accuse her young hus-
band of extreme cruelty. They declare

able occasion at Delmonicos he so far
forgot himself as to throw a saucer of ice-
cream at his wife.

quarters of the Haddah MuIlah in the

General Jefferys reports that he has ar

beatings they have received.
Spies report that the Afridis and 0rak-

SEATTLE, WASH. Sept. 26.-Miner W.
Bruce, who returned yesterday from his
four months trading trip to Alaska,
stated to THE CALL CORES spondent tonight
that while at Cape Prince cf Wales, a mis-
sion station under Rev. w. I. Lopp of the
Congregational Association, and conceded
to be the largest mission on the coast, he
heard of the killing OF Chief kokitUk OF
the Selawhameets, and the subsequent
avenging of the killing by the chiefs
brother. At Cape Prince of Wales is pub
lished the Eskimo Bulletin, the only
only Eskimo paper. 1t is edited by Mr..
Lopp, with the assistance of four Eskimos,
one of whom is an ar ist of ability. From
the 1897 issue of the Bulletin Bruce
learned the following facts:
On the night of January 2, 1897, the peo-
pie were aroused from slum ber by the
startling news that the young Chief
kokituk had been shot and stabbed to
death by Setartuk and his brother,
Ereheruk, and that Setartuk was mortaIly
wounded. 1t was the result of a drunken
brawl the chief taking exception to
Setartuk's s refusal OF an invitation to drink
his health and showing his displeasure by
emptving a revolver in the offenders s
direction. When the bullets were spent,
SetartuK Win knlIe ana MS Drotner,
Ereheruk, with a rifle, succeeded in let
ting the chiefs spirit escape through
many wounds.
Okboak, brother of Kokituk, was
obliged by the customs of the Eskimo to
avenge the cnitfs death. He had in heri-
ted most of his DroIher's property-his
frame house, canoe, dogs, sleds, thong
and ivory and his marten, beaver, wolf
fox, wolverine, land otter, and deer skins.
He was inclined to possess his holdings
in peace, but with tradition strong upon
him, he sought constantly for an oppor-
tunity to slay Setartuk or Ereheruk. Six
months after the first shooting he came
upon Ereheruk while seal hunting on the
ice and shot him, few nights later
Setartuk and his relatives loaded their
dog sleds and retreated to an upcoast set
tlement leaving the coast later on a
whaler for Herscheli Island.

MADRID, SPAIN, Sept. 26.-The arrival
Of United States Minister Woodford from
San Sebastian has made sensation. The
programme of the United States has been
ascartajned. This does not contemplate a
declaration OF war if Spain rejects media
ton but, according to report, "ostenta-
tious proclamation to the world of disap-
proval of the Gu ban regime by suspending
diplomatic re Iations with Spain and with
drawing the United States Minister"
General Woodford has declined to be in
terviewed on the subject further than to
say that his conference with the Duke of
Tetuan, the Foreign Minister was of the
most satisfactory character.
The unexpected bitterness OF the press
and OF public opinion has been painfully
impressed upon him, but he hopes this
will soon be allayed, as he believes his
mission favorable TO Spanish interests,
and h cannot com pre- bend that Spain
could reject mediation designed to end an
impoverishing war. He has not named
time at which the war must be termi-
mated, but he hopes, as the result of his
tenders, that it viii be ended quickly. He
believes the war is lnfiicting incalculabe
loss upon the United States, and that it is
impossible to prevent the organization Of
flibustering expeditions.
Unusual measures were taken to protect
Minis; er Woodford on his journey from
San Sebastian to this city, out the trip
was quite uneventfui. A party of gen.
aImes commanded by a sub-lieutenant,
guarded the southern express on which
ne was a passenger.
Secret police were posted at the station,
and the Project OF Police was in waiting
10 escort him TO his hotel. The drive
through the streets was marked by no
special incident though several people
saluted him, receiving bow in return.
Some comment has been caused by the
fact that Minister Woodford's family has
not accompanied him, b 1t remains behind
at the French frontier. Minister Wood
lord explains that his party is large one,
requiring a commodious home. and pre-
fers spending pleasant OCTOBER at Biar-
ritz until a suitable residence can be Sc
cured here. The legation cannot be used
as a residence. General Woodiord has al
ready engaged box at the Royal opera
house and has purchased horses.
General Woodford has taken apart
ments at the Hotel Rome, but receives Of
ticial visits at the legation, where he
passed the entire morning.
