DEATH ON THE DESERT.
A Prospector Arrives at Banner AL.
most Insane From Hunger.

SAN DIEGO, May 25-J Dietrich, a
desert prospector, arrived at Banner, in
this county, last night, almost insane
from having been without food for
three and a half days. From the story
which he tells, it is quite possible that
two men who We're with him on the
desert are now dead.
Dietrich and James Kerr had been
prospecting for over a year on the
desert. At Picacho they picked up an
old Arizona prospector named Ander-
son. The three arrived at Salton on the
18th instant, from there they struck
out for the San Jacinto Mountains. Last
Thursday Dietrich went on ahead or
his companions, but they failed to fol-
low him He went back and found
their trail, which led out on the desert
toward Yuma. He followed the trail
for thirty miles and then turning back,
made his way, almost dead, to Banner.
A searching party will probably go
out from here.

where and when he pleased. During the

Franciscan was severely punished
about the body.
After the first rally in the second
round Began resorted to hugging tac-
tics, but Jones, fresh and strong, shook
him off and drove him about at will.
After fighting a minute and a half in
the second round, Jones delivered a
very vicious left-hand uppercut on the
jaw, knocking Began out
Jones weighed 100 pounds, Began be-
in two pounds lighter.

HASTINGS TRIAL.
The Father of the Dead Girl on the
Witness Stand.

Los ANGELES, May 25.-The trial
of DIR" Calvin S. Hastings, charged
with the murder of Lillian Hattery of
San Bernardino, was continued before
Judge Smith to-day.
j. l.. Hattery, father of the dead girl,
was the first wotness called by the
prosecution.
Attorney Gage announced for Hast
ings that all the testimony taken under
the information would be objected to-.
Mr.. Hattery recited the story of Lii
Hans visit to Los Angeles, his search
for her body and the finding of her
body at the Morgue, and her clothing in
Hastings parlors.
He was questioned closely by the de-
fendant's attorneys as to the ankle all
ment which the girl suffered from, and
which in a note to her sister, written
while in Hastings office, she said was
the cause of her visit to the place.

preferred. Why double the rate on
lead, product going into every poor
home, in order to feed the coromorant
taste of these monopolists %
On earthenware and crockery the
Senator said the increased duties were
appalling. The trainers of the bill had
undertaken to make the duties abso-
lutely prohibitory.
Referring to the wool schedule, Vest
spoke of the conflicting claims of the
wool manufacturers and Mr.. Lawrence,
the shepherd king" AS to hides, Vest
said he warned Republican Senators
that hides would go back on the free
list as a result of thrifty New Eng
land sentiment
In conclusion, Vest said there was
no disposition to delay the considera-
ton of the bill. There would be no
factiouS opposition and no unnecessary
objection.
Cannon Of Utah introduced an amend
ment for bounty on agricultural ex-
ports and spoke briefly. He said the
pending bill, without any protection to
the farmer would be a rank injustice
and would be a violation of the pledge
which the victorious party made in it's
platform to the voters last year. If
the bill shall fail to give some meas
ure Of justice to the farmer, then he
will overthrow it at the first opportu-
nifty, declared Cannon
1t was a singular fact, commented
Chandler, that the Utah Senator had
long supported protective tariff. and
now concluded that the system he ad-
vocated was robbery.
Cannon responded that in his guile
lessness as a Republican he had ac-
cepted the entire protective idea but
now with the responsibility of weigh
ing the merits of every protective prop
oSition, he insisted on equalizing the
advantages so that the farmer would
receive a share.
The tariff bill was then laid aside for
the day.
AT 5:1o the Senate went into execu-
tive session, and soon after adjourned.

DALLAS CTexas), May Pa special
to the News from FL Paso, Texas,
says:
At l o'clock this morning the fire
alarm aroused the people in the lower
part of the city. The levee had broken,
and the flood waters of the Rio Grande
We're rushing through the city. The levee
that broke was on the bank of the canal
on Stanton street The river had reached
its highest point since 1891. In few
minutes a large force of men was at
work trying to check the rushing wa
ters with sacks filled with sand, but a
second break above backed up the wa
ter on the workmen, and they had to re-
tire.
The Texas and Pacific Railway Off
cials, realizing that hundreds of families
were being flooded from their homes,
backed in a large number of empty
freight cars for the accommodation OF
the homeless. Not less than 10 houses
were swept away, and tonight several
hundred men are at work on levee.
They have thrown up an embankment
on Third street, in an endeavor to check
the advance of the flood, which is run
ming over one of the International
street Railway bridges. The splash of
the walls of the falling houses is min
gled with the cries of affrighted women
and children, who are driven from their
homes. People residing in the lower
part of the city are leaving their homes
and moving to the foothills of Mount
Franklin.
Several families are now housed in
freight cars standing on the sea of water.
Should the improvised levee on Stanton
street break tonight, the water will
flood the business portion of the city.
The ringing of the fire bell this morn
ing saved the lives of many people, who
We're asleep, ignorant of their danger.

GRIM FIGHT WITH DEATH.
No Cheers, No Assault, but a Heroic
Battle None the Less.

GREENFIELD, Mass, March 9-Boys.
from pure deviltry. set fire to the light frame
powder house of Sheldon NewcOmb which
is situated on the Colrain road, Just outside
the outskirts of the village and near the
bridge which crosses the Green river on the
road to the meadows. There was snow all
around the building, which was of wood
with metal roof and loosely constructed
be readily blown apart. The law does not
permit the storing of powder in large
quantities in populous centres. The fire set
by the boys burned through the boards and
set fire to two kegs of blasting powder
Strange to say, the force of their explosion
blew the building to atoms, but did not ex-
plode the many other kegs, containing a
total of about 500 pounds.
Eugene A. NewcomD, one of the owners, Sc
cured the aid of Fred Smith. and they began
to shovel snow in the fire. A dozen or more
persons were perched in places of safety and
waiting for the second explosion. Wooden
crates holding cans of powder were burn
ing. the floor was on fire and of course there
was great danger of an explosion any in
stant. 1t was for few minutes an open
question whether the snow and the bodies of
men would be blown into thousands of frag-
ments, or whether the men could kill the
tiames The men and snow were trium-
phant, however. The crowd cheered and an
express wagon was backed up to the ruined
she'd which took the powder to place of
safety. There was no rattle of artillery, nor
cheers, nor assaults to nerve and cheer the
men, but it was grim fight with death and
q most heroic act
