Three of Mrs. Hudelson's witnesses
summoned to Modesto to give evidence
in her behalf died suddenly while eth
er in attendance as witnesses or on
their way to testify. The first one to
pass away was Mrs. Mary Medley. She
spent one Saturday afternoon in a law
yer's office giving her sworn statement
as to what she knew of the relations
existing between Mr.. and Mrs. Hudel-
son. That night she died. A few days
later Joseph M. Choate, who lived some
distance from the town, was waited up
on by a Deputy Sheriff and summoned
to apear in court, so that his deposition
might be taken for use in the divorce
trial. He accompanied the deputy in a
buggy. Within a few minutes drive to
Modesto Choate was stricken with ap-
oplexy, and was conveyed into the
town. Peter Lasher, a saloonkeeper,
was another witness Mrs. Hudelson de-
sired. AS an officer entered his place
with subpoena the saloonkeeper fell
dead from heart disease.

LOS ANGELES, April 14.-The case
against Kid Thompson, charged with
robbing the Southern Pacific train at
Roscoe was resumed this morning.
Charles Etzler, an important witness
for the prosecution, testified that the
Kid had confessed to him after a few
hours acquaintance to having thrown
the switch and robbed the train. Etz-
Ter related the details of the trip he and
Kid made to Tempe, Arizona, where

Thompson. He said if he was a free
man he would willingly do so, but un-
der the circumstances he must refuse.
as he was afraid of the consequences
He would not state the cause of his
morrow, when another effort will be
made to get him to testify.

William LOOMS Fatally Shot by Constable
Jones at Lodi
Met His Death While in the Act of
Resisting Arrest.
An Entire Block at Boulder Creek,
Santa Cruz County, Wiped Out by
Fire - The Loss Estimated at
Fifteen Thousand Dollars.

LODI, April 14.-William Loomis was
shot by Constable G.. w. Jones at the
Jail here shortly after 5 O'Clock this
afternoon. Loomis was arrested by
Constable Jones for being drunk and
disorderly. At the Jail door Loomis'
eighteen-yea son Boyd came up
and joined his father in resisting arrest.
The two of them were badly beating
Jones, when the latter shot the elder
Loomis through the stomach. Young
Loomis drew a knife, but the pistol
scared him off. Both father and son
bear hard regulations. Young Loomis
has used a knife on several occasions,
and has been arrested numerous times.
Loomis died tonight without regain
ing consciousness.
Young Loomis left town after the
shooting, but came back this evening,
after his fathers death. He was under
the influence of liquor and declared
that he would shoot Jones before to-
morrow. The boy will be arrested at
once, and more trouble is anticipated
when the officers try to take him.
William Loomis, who was shot, was
harnessmaker, and was 30 years old.
He leaves eleven young children. The
community is very much excited over
the affair, and sympathy and blame are
about evenely divided.

Rendered by Judge Morrow Of the .. s.
District Court.
An English Syndicate, of Which
Baron RothSchild is Member,
Negotiating for the Purchase of
Over a Hundred Thousand Acres of
Land i'm rlerced and StaniSlauS
Counties.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-A de-
cision of the greatest Importance in re-
lation to public timber lands has just
been made by Judge Morrow in the
United States Court. 1t was given in
fourteen suits in which the California
Redwood Company was plaintiff. 1t de-
cides the title directly to about 2,1OO
acres of redwood timber lands in Hum
boldt County, and is applicable to be-
tween 10000 and 10000 acres.
In 1889 timber land entries were made
to large tracts in Humboldt County by
men whom the Land Commissioner af-
terward decided were mere figure heads
and dummies. Certificates of purchase
were issued to them, and these by as
Signments were transferred to what
was popularity known as the Scotch
syndicate, or, as it is in law, the Cali
fOrnia Redwood Company. On repre-
sentations to and Investigations by the
Land Office these entries were declared
fraudulent by the Commissioner, the
certificates were cancelled and the land
again thrown open to entry. The de-
PENDANTS in the suits just decided, who
are represented by Barclay Henley,
lllctQS SllllSS, etliQ Ill uut COul Sc lCSSifCo
patents.
These suits were then brought by the
Redwood Company to be declared the
equitable owner of the lands in ques-
ton as innocent purchasers of the GER
tificates originally issued and for a con-
veyance to it by the defendants.
Judge Morrow denied the relief asked
for entirely. He held that the patents
issued by the United States carried ev-
cry presumption with them, and that
though the plaintiff might be an inno-
cent purchaser, it purchased only what
it's vendor had to SELL namely, certifi-
Gates declared by the proper authority
to be fraudulent. If the Land Office
erred in so declaring them fraudulent
the plaintiff should have exhausted its
remedy in the Land Office to have the
error corrected, and having failed to do
that could not set up its claim in an
other court against patents issued to the
defendants against which patents there
was not even the allegation of fraud
These cases will undoubtedly go to the
Supreme Court of the United States be-
fore the litigation is ended.

BIG LAND DEAL.
An English Syndicate Will Buy the
Mitchell Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 14.-In a
few days the largest land deal that has
been negotiated in this State for many
months will be closed. The amount of
money that will change hands is ST.
11S,OU0. The buyers are an English
syndicate, of which Baron Rothschild
is d member, and the sellers are the
administrators fthe estate of john
W. Mitchell, deceased. The land is sit
uated in Stanislaus and Merced Coun-
ties, and with it go ample water rights.
The deeds have been placed in escrow
in the Bank of California, ready to be
turned over to the purchasers as soon
as the first payment is made.
The estate divides itself naturally in
two parts-that north of the Merced
River in Stanislaus County and the
portion south of it in Merced County.
1t extends from Lathrop south to the
town of Merced. The better portion of
the land is in Merced County, and the
best is Immediately west of Atwater
In Merced County there are 10, 154
acres of land, which in 1890 were val
ued for purposes of taxation at SI33,-
931. Through this land there flows a
fine body of water belonging exclu-
Sively to the estate, and which passes
to the new owners. 1t is all well rent
ed, and there are no debts upon any
portion of the estate. The section of
the estate in Stanislaus County is over
10000 acres in area 1t is not so good
as the Merced land, but is better than
average land. 1t is in the Turlock irri-
cation district, forming major portion
of the 10000 acres irrigated from the
big ditch of that district.
Another land transaction of less mag
nitude but interesting in its way, as
showing the revived inquiry for coun-
try lands, was closed ten days ago
when Bovee, Toy & Sontag sold the
Theodore Winters stock ranch of 49,
600 acres for $4,000. The property is
in Lassen County, and extends across
the border into the State of Nevada.

FIRE AT BOULDER CREEK.
An Entire Block Wiped Out of Ex.
iStence.

SANTA CRUZ, April 14.-This after
noon the southern part of Boulder
Creek suffered a big fire, which wiped
out an entire block 1t started at 4:1o
in j. Boyce's cottage, and was caused
by the explosion of coal oil with which
a fire was being started. Then 1t
quickly spread to j. Peoples cottage,
which was destroyed. By this time
the Boulder Creek fire department was
unable to cope with the rapidly spread
ing flames. owing to lack of water. For
nearly three hours the fire had its own
way. When it was under cntrol, j.
w. Perry's hall, Lorenzo Hotel, Hart
man Hotel and stable were in ashes. A
light wind was blowing. The loss is
estimated at about $4,000 with light
insurance.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
ASiatic LabOrerS are Disseminated
Against.

HONOLULU. April THE Govern
ment has issued a call for tenders for
new road that is unique in that it
discriminates in favor of Hawaiian,
American and European laborers as
against the Asiatic laborers. The con-
ditions read:
The tenders are based upon the con-
dition that at least 80 per cent. of the
unskilled laborers employed on this
work are to consist of Hawaiians,
Americans or Europeans.
This is the first time that Asiatic To-
Dor has been Disseminated against di-
rectly by the Government, and the ef-
feet upon the laboring classes will be
watched with interest
Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald of
California is making an investigation of
labor conditions here, with a view to
heading off Japanese immigration to
California. He will also give advice to
the Hawaiian Government as to the
best methods of settling the labor diff
ficulties.

The ACCIDENT TO THE OREGON.
REPORTS OF THE DAMAGE
GREATLY MAGNIFIED.
Officers in Charge Say No Serious
Injury Resulted From Her
Grounding.

SEATTLE (Wash), April 14.-Accord-
ing to statements of naval officers here,
the accident which happened to the bat
tle-ship Oregon as she lay last Sunday
afternoon in the dredged channel at
the mouth of the dry dock at Puget
Sound Naval Station has been magni-
fled beyond it's actual Importance.
The Oregon is damaged so that re-
pairs will be necessary, but as proof
that she is not seriously hurt the Off
GERS in charge to-day said the Oregon
could go to sea tomorrow morning in
perfect safety, if called upon to do so.
The actual damage sustained is not
yet ascertained as the water has not
yet been pumped out of the dock. The
water is being drawn off a few feet
at time, extra shoes being put in as
the water recedes.
The Oregon grounded Sunday after
noon in the dredged channel while
awaiting entrance to the dock. The
tide was going out and the hull of the
vessel under the forward turrets was
felt settling on some hard substance.
According to the tide gauge there should
have been at that time two feet of
water beneath the Oregon's keel. Sound
ings taken on all sides of the vessel
confirmed this No effort was made to
draw the vessel back, as it was felt a
tearing of the bottom plates would re-
suit, while in settling the only damage
would be a bending of the frames. When
the tide came up again, about o'clock.
the Oregon lifted, and shortly after mid
night was floated into the dock without
further incident
Captain Barker of the Oregon, Com
mander White, Commandant of the sta
ton, constructors in charge of the dock
ing operation, unite in saying that no
serious injury had resulted from the
grounding. A diver was at work to-
day inside the dock trying to find out
the extent of the damage to the Oregon's
hull He reported that the frames and
bottom plates near the forward turret
were bent, but no rivets We're loosened.
dredged channel. He discovered a bank
of black hardpan, but had not deter
mined it's extent. 1t is considered nos
sible that this bank was overlooked bv
the contractors in charge of dredger
work. The bottom should have been alb
solutely clean. If repairs are made
while the Oregon is in dock mechanics
will have to be brought from Mare
Island.
The estimated cost of the repairs can
not be learned, as the water will NOT
be all pumped out of the dock until to-
morrow

STIRRED UP MUCH FEELING.
The Appointment of a COlored Boy as
Naval Cadet.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Congress-
man Shattuck of Ohio yesterday NOM
mated d. J. Bandy, colored lad of
Cincinnati, to a cadetship at Annapo-
lis. He has been urged to withdraw
the name, but says he will stand by the
appointment. There has been some
murmuring of disapproval from the
Naval Academy, and threats of stu
dents to resign.
''The boy earned the appointment
fairly" said General Shattuck to-day.
There was competitive examination,
and two colored lads, one of them
Bandy, outstripped their Caucasian
competitors. One of them, however,
proved to be over 20, and was therefore
disbarred. 1 had told them the COM
petition was open to every eligible boy
in my district Bandy, who won, is one
of the handsomest boys 1 ever saw.
Yesterday I sent his name to the Sec
retary of the Navy, and he will be ap-
pointed. I have received no communi-
cations from the students at Annapolis
on the subject, but several Congress-
men have told me that it was an un-
written law not to allow a colored boy
at Annapolis. They told me that if 1
persisted it would break up the school;
that the other students would resign.
Let them resign and be ID I
repied That boy earned his appoint
ment fairly, and I'm going to see that
he goes to Annapolis and receives fair
treatment if it is in my power to do

BANES NARROWLY ESCAPES
DESTRUCTION.
The Big Expedition of the Steamer

HAVANA, April 14.-Banes, an i'm
portant port on the coast near Bibra,
from which heavy annual expectations
of bananas and cocoanuts to the Unit
ed States, and which is the estate of H.
Dumois & Co, American citizens, mar
rowly escaped complete destruction.
The expedition under General Roloff,
by the steamer Laureda, carrying 400
rifles, 800 900 cartridges and several
pieces of rapid-fring artillery, landed
along the quay at Banes. General
Calixto Garcia, with 5000 men came to
protect the convoy of arms and ammu-

arm, Garcia was obliged to carry the
arms into the Interior 1t is reported
that the insurgents hearing that a
Spanish gunboat might arrive at any
moment, closed the entrance of the
port with torpedoes.
General Roloff, assisted by local
bands and finally by the soldiers under
General Garcia, commenced to fortify
the nights around the port, hastily
casting up trenches to make the port
temporarily impregnable to any Span
