YA0UIS IN A DEADLY DUEL.
Settle Love Dispute on Railroad
Track Needless of The Whistle OF
ON Aonrooch no Train.

GUAYMAS, MEXICO, July 16-Two
Yaquis went out on the railroad track six
miles from town Monday night to settle a
love dispute with Winchesters. Both OF
them braced up on mescal before they
started, and they were drunk with alcohol
and rage when they met. The south
bound train on the Sonora line came in at
the meeting, and though the engineer
blew his whistle sharply several times the
Quarreling braves needed it not and with
leveled guns were about to fire. The
brakes were put on, but not soon enough
for who could guess that two redskins
would stand on the track and pay no at
tention to flying passenger train coming
toward them? One of the Yaquis was
killed outright and horribly mangled by
the engine, but the other jumped aside IN
time to go back and wed the dusky
maiden.
Conductor Will Broderick and crew
were held by the local authorities Tor
couple of days until the affair had been
thoroughly investigated and the aborigi-
nal duelist buried. BY that time Engineer
Hall and all the train hands We're exon
Grated, as there was ample evidence 10

DREDGING OF HUMBOLDT HARB0R.
Official Report Recommending That the
Proposed Improvements Be Made
at the Goyer2msnt's Expense.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 16.-The
Secretary of War has transmitted to
Congr< SIS the report of Captain Cassius E.
Gillette, corps of engineers on the pro-
posed examination and dredging OF Hum
boldt harbor, California as provided for in
the last Congress. He says that Eureka
is the PRINCIPAL shipping point OF the ter
ritory mainly benefited by the improve
ments at present going on at the entrance
to Humboldt harbor. The bulk OF the
commerce which seeks this harbor goes to
Eureka. The available depth of the bar
at present is twenty-five feet, whereas
vessels drawing fifteen feet or less have
difficulty in making landing on account
of lack of depth Immediately in front of
the wharves. The improvement under
consideration is therefore one that should
undoubtedly be made. The only question
which arises is whether it should be made
at the expense OF the United States or by
the owners of the wharves. The facts
bearing on this question are as follows:
Eureka is located mainly on narrow
and rather shallow channel between In
dian Island and the mainland. Com
merce seeking the upper end of The bay
need not go through this channel. The
wharves are built pract cally in contact
along the water front, there being no slips
to speak Of This water front appears to
have been originally owned by the StaIe,
ceded by the State to the city and by the
city sold at auction for small amounts,
and the entire water front now in use is
owned or claimed as private property.
The improvement proposed is. therefore,
directly bene ticial TO number OF private
individuals.
ION the other hand this improvement
will undoubtedly be OF great benefit to the
general commerce of the country. Then,
too, the harbor lines are located along the
edge of the wharves, and the Government
has. therefore, spent about $50, 600 in
dred ging along this water front and UP TO
The towns of Arcata and Hookton. These
latter facts. together with the established
custom OF the Government to dredge in
front of the whaives in such cases, leav-
ing private owners to dredge the slips
make 1t appear that the locality under
consideration is worthy of improvement
by the United States, and it Is so recon-
mended." Colonel c. L. Suter concurs in
this recommendation.
Congressman Barham said to THE CALL
gratiieo over this favorable report, and
that at the next session OF Congress he
would endeavor 10 provide for the i'm
provements that are recommended. He
thinks there is still a large balance left
from the 81, 750 900 appropriated for jetties
at Humboldt, and believes this can be di-
verted and expended III dred ging along
the city front of Eureka.
