dians from the reservation, fought duel
to the death. eight miles from this place
yesterday. The fight occurred on the Lap
wal road in Soldier Canyon and was wit
messed 5y settlers wife from distance.
They first fought on horseback, then dis
mounted and fought on foot.
The attention Of the settlers wife was
attracted by the angry screams OF the
combatants. Ashort distance from where
the duel took place there were half
dozen Indians also watching the scene,
with Frank Harterind. a white man.
When the latter thought the fight had
gone far enough he attempted to put an
end 70 it, but the other bucks threatened
his life if he attempted 10 interfere with
the brothers. In fact Harterind was held
captive until the six non-combatants re-
turned 10 Lewiston, so he could do moth
ing.
Harterind says tnat at first the Wilson
brothers emptied their revolyers at each
other at short range, but not shot took
effect. When he had the last view of
them the two were in close quarters, tear
ing at each other like wild beasts.
When the womau's husband returned
in the evening he went to the scene and
found the corpse of Tom Wilson.
Both brothers had been drinking. Un-
til a short time ago they were highly re-
spected by the whites and Indians alike,
but they could not stand the prosperity
incident to the distribution by the Govern
ment of large sums in payment OF ceded
lands. Mike is in Jail here. He claims

GATORS IN SAN
JOAQUIN RIVER
Two Great AmphibianS
at Large in the
Stream.
Escaped From Stockton Man
Who Had Kept Them
as Pets.
The FeroCiouS Reptiles XIII {
Calf Before the Eyes of
q Herder.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 20.-The inhat-
itants OF Roberts Island are becoming
greatly alarmed over the report that two
young alligators belonging to Jules Dixon
have escaped from the inclosurs in which
he kept them. The gators were but few
inches in length when they were received
from the South by Mr.. Dixon, but they
have grown considerably since, and the
last time he saw them they were nearly
six feet long. pond, around which was
a suitable fence, was constructed 10 hold
the amphibians but about a week ago
they managed to escape by knocking out
a couple of plckets with their powerful
tails.
A close search was instituted for the es-
capes at once, and it has been in progress
for several days. They have been seen
several times by different persons, but all
attempts to capture them have failed thus
far. 1t is said that 8 few evenings ago
negro who was working on one of the
ranches, while allowing the cattle to drink
in the river, saw black object rise sud-
denly from the water close 10 the shore,
where q calf was drinking. There was a
sudden swish OF an enormous tail and the
calf fell over dead. Immediately another
dark object arose to the surface beside the
first one and together they dragged the
dead calf into the water, leaving q wake
OF blood.
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
some good however, and if reports are
true it is likely that the country adjacent
10 the islands will again be a breeding
ground for ducks and geese. The trouble
for years has been that carp have eaten
all the food which is sought by feathered
game, thereby driving winged creatures
TO other parts OF the country. There is
nothing that suits an alligator so much as
carp, and il is expected that before great
while there will be no carp in that part OF
the river, at least.
The ridding of the river of carp would
be quite q task for two OF the huge water
lizards, but they multiply very rapidly
and in year from now there may be
scores of them cleaving the waters of the
San Joaquin, unless the two now at large
are speedily captured or killed. II this is
10 be done al all it must be done immedi-
ately, as the female has already begun to
lay her eggs in the warm sand and q nest
OF them was found by an Italian gardener
this morning They were much larger
eggs than he had been accustomed to
seeing so be took them up to his ranch,
where they were pronounced by a colored
man to be alligator eggs. They were i'm
mediately destroyed, with the exception
of couple, which are now on exhibition
at grocery store on Hunter street.
1t is said that Henry Voorman, a young
man who lives on the Mokelumns River,
has also procured couple of the am
phibians, with view to turning them
loose near his place 10 exterminate the
carp. Voorman is very fond of hunting.
but as the carp have eaten up all the duck
feed near there he is compelled to go sew
eral miles for ducks

SAN JOSE HGH SCHOOL.
Work on the Structure to Be Commenced
at Once on the Normal Grounds

SAN JOSE. CAL. April 20.-It is now
almost cert ain thrt work on the new High
School building will be commenced within
thirty days, and it will be ready for occu-
pancy at the beginning of next term. A
site has been selected on the Normal
square and the structure will be in a most
desirable location, facing Sixth street and
with large grounds surrounding it.
At q joint meeting of the City Board OF
Education and the State Normal School
trustees to-day the site was selected and
all arrangements made for deciding it to
the city.
The grounds will have frontage on
Seventh street of $40 feet and on San Fer
nando street of 493 feet, the latter extend
ing from Seventh 10 point about mid
way between Fifth and Sixth streets. The
building will be erected SO as to face Sixth
street and will be located about 100 feet
back from the fence. AS it is to be OF very
handsome design it will add an attractive
feature to that part OF the city.
Jacob Lenzen, the supervising architect,
states that he Will have everything in
readiness so that work can be commenced
within thirty days.

1852 and 1884 in which it was agreed that
taey would refrain from passing any legis-
latlon lnlmical to the British. Thew have
recently passed law whereby their Par
Lament is given the power to veto deci-
sions OF the courts, and new alien law
which is direct violation of the treaty.

SAN QUENTIN, CAL, April 20.-The
day is drawing near when frank C. klose
will meet his death on the gallows. But
three days remain, and despite the fact
that no chance remains by which he can
expect to escape punishment. he is hope
full.
During the long hours OF the day the
murderer spends the time reading. He is
carefully watched night and day by two
guards that he may not find an oppor-
tunity to commit suicide and thus cheat
the gibbet. The death watch is with him
constantly and he is confined in the con-
demned murderers' cell. When he is not
reading he is sleeping or eating. de has
nothing to say.
The crime he committed was an
atrocious one. While his victim lay asleep
he drew knife across his throat for no

Appeals have been made to the Gov
ernor to commute his sentence to life i'm

PHEKiX LAWYERS OFFeRSE.
CITY Attorney Arrested for VIOLATING an
Anfi-Expectornt,on Ordinance Drafted
BY Himself

PHGN1X, ARIz., April 20. = Price
Evans, the City Attorney of Phoenix, finds
himself in rather peculiar predicament.
Several weeks ago, in obedience TO a strong
public sentiment on the subject, Mr..
Evans drafted an ordinance forbiddins
expectorating on the sidewalk and then
brought about its passage by the City
Council. Yesterday he was arrested by
Policeman Baily for expectorating on
walk. This is the first arrest under the
new ordinance.
Price is rather indignant at the arrest,
and IS casting about for lawyer TO de.
lend him. The maximum penalty is
fine of $50 or fifty days in Jail. Price
admits that there are no flaws in the
ordinance, and yet he hates 10 take the
punishment. As City Attorney it is his
duty to prosecute himself, but this dis
agreeable task he already been taken off
his hands by the retention of Attorney
VIII d. Buck to especially prosecute this
case. AS these are days OF contention
and absorbing interest in local politics
the case will be pushed to the end.
