UKIAH'S MURDER TRAL.
A Hard-Fcug5t Legal Battle - DOdge's
Confess on Of the Killing Admitted
IN Evidence.

UKIAH, CAL, Jan. 14-To-day has wit
messed the hardest fought battle OF law in
tie trial of John Dodge for the murder of
John MIDGET.
This morning Perry F. Bowman was re-
called on behalf of the prosecution to fix
the day of the killing of NUGGET.
He testified to finding the remains of
the deceased in the ruins of his cabin on
October % at about dusk.
The next witness called was William
Held Jr., official reporter of the Superior
Court OF this county.
He testified that be was present at the
confession made by Dodge in Willis to
Constable Martin Hart, District Attorney
George a. Sturtevant and himself, and
which was by him taken down in short
hand at the time the events leading up
to the confession were detailed.
When the question as to what the de-
PENDANT said at the time was propounded
to the witness By the District Attorney,
Senator Johnston, on behalf of the defend
ant, interposed objections to the same.
After consideration Judge Mannon held
that the witness should not be permitted
to refresh his memory from a transcript
of his shorthand notes, but that the short
hand notes themselves would be allowed
TO be used for that purpose.
These were secured and an objection to
their being used by the witness for the
purpose indicated was overruIed by the
court. The original shorthand notes were
then read TO the jury.
This statement OF the defendant, which
was detailed exclusively in THE CALL
at the time, is the original confession
made Dy Dodge, and relates with great
mnuteness the killing of Mudgett, which
Dodge claims was done in self-defense.
Almost the entire day was taken up
with the reading Of this confession.
This evening Sheriff Johnson was placed
on the stand for the purpose of impeach-
ing statements made by Constable Hart
while on the stand yesterday.
johnson was the only witness called by
the defense. The opening argument on
behalf OF the people was made this even
ing by Colonel Joho MeNab, who has
been retained to assist the District Attor-
ney IN the prosecution of the case.
senator Johnston will open the case for
the delen ant tomorrow morning, and
the case will probably go to the jury by
tomorrow evening.
AFTER an extended argument judge
Mannon overruled the motion made by
senator johnston at the close of the plain
IN case, that the court instruct the jury
10 ma the defendant not guilty.

Time for q Change of Wants.

Michael j. Tanning, of Baltimore,
has been delving into internal rev.
enue reports and his researches de
velop the facts that
last year in this country 1858, 600 was
spent for beer alone, while for all kinds of
intoxicating liquors 81 ,456, 100000 had been
put out.
For the average family the cost of
beer was $57. 95-enough to buy about
II barrels of ''Johnson's Best" flour.
For beer and other liquors the cost
to each family was $9S.35-enough to
buy about Is barrels of "Johnson's
Best''-than which no better -four is
made.
Without at all makinga temperance
argument out of the consumptive ratio
of liquors and flour, is it not clear that
if bread is as scarce and as hard to get
as professional labor's pleas seem to
imply-is 1t not clear, we repeat, that
the bowling pretext for claiming more
work and more wages ought to be
shifted from the need of bread to a
want OF more tanglefoot.

So the tariff on coal is to be nearly doubled,
is it? Well, hope so. 1t will prove two
things-that the MINING JOURNAL and other
gold-bug, high-taritf sirens were far outside
even of hailing distance of the truth, and that
the workingmen of this State in general and
Georges Creek in particular were the greatest
of Reubens to believe them - Uncle Sam.
There never was Il syllable of any
such nonsense in the JOURNAL. No
permanent improvement whatever under
republican rule was prophesied in this
paper. The only concern felt in these
headquarters was to save the country
from going from bad to worse-to
national Organism, popular Altgeldism
and Interstate Gormanism.

again?

Anything to beat the democrats.


The employer who will not "be dictated to
by a union is just rs logical as the man who
will not carry fire insurance because he will
not be dictated to by an Insurance Co.-Lona-
coming Rcric".
No comparison could be more inapt,
because none could open the door
wider to individual impudence or or
ganized impertinence.
Suppose, for instance, we make the
Recie,c's sentence read this way:
The editor who will not be dictated to by
his subscribers, advertisers and job GUS
toners, is just as logical as the man who will
not carry fire insurance because he will not
be dictated to by an insurance company.
Suppose the ReoieD'S subscribers tell
the editor he must uphold professional
labor; the advertisers that he must de-
nounce professional labor. and the job
customers insist that he must publish
a paper as good and on the same in
dependent lines as the FROsTBURG
MINING JOURNAL-not one of which
he can do, to what result will his
notion of ''logic" lead him then
