A really pitiable case is that of Jennie

NOT THE FIRST TROUBLE.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Te shooting of
the four men on the grounds of Mr..
Clough, near Tolleston, Ind, this after
noon by the guards on the preserves of
the Tolleston Shooting Club created con-
siderable excitement in this city to-
night, where the troubles of the club
with the indianapolis people has been
given publicity from time to time
through the newspapers
The organization known as the Toll
lesion Shooting Club comprises about
100 of the leading citizens of Chicago.
and has been in existence more than
twenty-five years. The club owns 100
acres at Tolleston, in the Calumet
River where the various shoots of the
organization are held Although it came
into possession of this property in 1871.
and while it holds title direct from the
Government. many of the residents of
Lake County, the President of the club
says, have in recent years defied the
right of the Chicagoans to invade their
community to kill game. They have at
tempted at various times, members of
the club says, to destroy the buildings
on the Tolleston grounds, and watch
men were placed on guard to protect the
property against violence
ThlS action on the part of the club was
taken several years ago. Since then the
quarrels between the watchmen and the
residents have been of frequent occur
renee, with more or less serious results
About year ago two of the guards were
shot and seriously wounded Several
ohter persons were injured in the skir-
mish, which took place in the swamps
below the grounds. About three years
ago two watchmen were killed during a
fight al Crown Point The trouble arose
over matters pertaining to the Tolleston
Club, and minor disputes have been of
frequent occurrence
1T seems impossible" said Edwin T.
Daniels, President of the Tolleston
Club tonight ito convince the residents
OF Lake County that we own the prop
erty known as the Tolleston Club
grounds. Our watchmen have orders
not to use violence, and do not believe
that they are to blame for the trouble
to-day. The residents are constantly
making trouble for them, and all pre-
vious conflicts We're brought by out
siders. 1t is necessary for US to have
our watchmen to protect the grounds,
but they are not supposed to use vio-
lence before it becomes necessary"

FAR FROM FACT.
WAR STILL RAGING IN PINAR
DEL RIO PROVINCE.
Not a Day Passes Without Serious
Engagements Between Rebels
and Spanish Forces.

| NEW YORK, Jan. ia dispatch to
| the Sun from Havana says: In the
province of Pinar del Rio since the sue
cessful invasion from Havana by the
patriot forces under Brigadier Castillo
| not a day has passed without a serious
engagement between the Spanish troops
and the revolutionists. In the Spanish
official reports published here by the
newspapers after careful revision by
the press censor these fights are men
toned only as unimportant skirmishes
But even if this were true they would
still prove that the pacification of that
province is very far from having been
accomplished.
All the facts show that the war is
waging furiously and that now the
cruel warfare of Weyler is at it's eli
max No sort of reforms, no promises
whatsoever from Spain will satisfy the
Cubans. The indignation they feel
against the Spaniards grows more bit
ter every day on account of the out
RACES authorized by Weyler, and Cuba
will yield to Spain only after all the
patriot forces have been exterminated.
The march of General Gomez west
in all the cane fields which were pre-
pared for the harvest as soon as Weyler
should permit the grinding of sugar.
News from Colon says that the flames
all around that town illuminate the sky
and demonstrate the proximity of Cen
cal Gomez's torch.
President Cisneros and his Cabinet
will not cross the boundary of Matan-
zas with Gomez. After issuing their
last official statement condemning all
treaties with Spain not based on the
absolute independence of Cuba, they
will return to the east.
Gomez will enter Havana province,
and his intention. it is announced, is to
go forward until he reaches the out
skirts of the Capital itself.
The financial situation here is worse
If possible. than the political state of
affairs. With the monetary embarrass-
ments of the Government comes almost
total suspension of credit. Poverty is
spreading in the Capital and there is
practically no business.

GAY SADLY SURPRISED.
Confronted by Wife From Whom
fie Had Not Been Divorced.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 19-Burdette Gay,
formerly employed by the Great Ameri-
can Tea Importing Company, was con-
fronted to-day by a wife whom he is
said to have deserted in Pueblo, Col 3,
several months ago. She desired to
know why he had deserted her and mar
ried another woman. The unexpected
appearance of Mrs. Gay of Colorado was
a sad surprise to Mr. Gay.
Mrs Nellie Gay of Pueblo, who says
she is wife No. 4, called upon her hus-
band at his residence at the corner of
/, Alameda avenue and Oak street, where
he is costly living with Mrs. Gay No D,
his bride of ten days, who was formerly
Miss Mary Clifford of Sacramento. Miss
Clifford and Gay were married in San

been acquainted but a short time.
There was a stormy interview between
Mr.. Gay and his former wife. She left

her intention to have him arrested upon

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-The pre-
Iminary examination of eX-Notary j.
J. Cooney on a charge of perjury in
connection with the alleged forgery OF
deeds transferring real estate belonging
to the Fair estate to Mrs. Nettie Cra-
ven, was begun before Judge Cook of
the Superior Court this morning. The
defendant was represented by his
father, Judge Cooney, and Patrick Red
Gy, while District Attorney Barnes was
reinforced by his assistant Hosmer and
r. H. Lloyd. w. w. Foote and S. C.
benson watched out for Mrs. Craven 5
interests.
Chief Deputy County Clerk Piper
identified the two dispositions made by
Cooney, one in July last before Judge
Slack and the second in December last
before Notary Smyth.
1t is upon the statements made by
Cooney during the taking of the latter
deposition that the present charge of
perjury is based. The prosecution ex-
poets to prove that the certificates of
acknowledgment attached by Cooney
10 Mrs. Craven's deeds and signed by
him were not in existence until a couple
of months after Senator Fairs death.
S. r. Roberts, one of the men to
whom it is claimed the deeds were in
trusted, was next called. He was asked
if he had the original deeds in his pos
session, and replying in the affirmative
was asked TO produce them. This led
to long Wrangle, the attorneys for
Cooney and Mrs. Craven making des-
perate effort to prevent the documents,
which Fairs attorneys have long en-
deavored unsuccessfully TO obtain a
glimpse of, from being brought forth
but Judge Cook decided against them,
and after they had been carefully in
spected Roberts identified Photographic
copies, which We're made part of the
evidence.
Judge Slack identified so much of the
records of his court as included the
deposition made by Cooney last July,
and the exhibit annexed thereto, and
said the deposition was made before
him in suit then pending. Judge
Slack said the signature of the Notary
was affixed to the deposition in his
presence, and that the proceedings were
finally certified to by the court in due
form.
An employe of the II. S. Crocker
Company testified that during the
month of January, 1896, the company
printed 10000 blank notarial certifi-
Gates, accidentally using type which
was somewhat battered. The defect

THE I1ORSE-TAMER,
A Good Exhibition Last Night and
Great Treat for Tonight.

There was a good attendance last
night at the New Pavilion to witness
the feats of horsemanship and horse
tanning of Professor Gleason.
The professor was Handicapped by not
having as many horses to conquer as
ne desired In fact, there were only
tWo-One very nervous animal be-
longing to c. w Borchert and the 9TH
er a runaway, the property of j. j. c.
Fitzgerald.
The vices of the animals, which were
otherwise valuable were apparent to
the audience at once. but the horses
were subdued very quickly and showed
no signs of fear either at the drums,
the tin cans or the music, after an eX-
ceedingly short experience, and none
at all when punches of paper were
thrown at and around them.
1t took them a little longer to be-
come accustomed to having ire-crack-
ers exploded in front, around and un-
der them, and for some time they
reared and swerved in every direction.
They finally became accustomed to
these and would stand perfectly still
and not even move their ears while the
crackers were exploding in every di-
rection.
The professor announced that to-day
he would go QUITO the Haggfn ranch and
bring in their widest. most untamable
and most vicious animals, with which
he would give thrilling exhibition to-
night. He promises a still greater
treat for Thursday night, the particu-
lars of which viii be given at the show

On account of the fact that he had so
short a programme last night an ad-
mission check for tonight was given to

seat check to those who had occupied

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Verdict of the Jury in the Case of J..
n. CuIweIl.

Coroner Clark held an inquest last
night on the body of j. H. CulweIl.
who fell from freight car in the rail-
road yard on Sunday morning and died
from the effects of the fall
The evidence showed that Culwell
was switching two cars, from which
the engine had been detached. and had
set the brake on one of them and an
parently started to set the brake on
the other. The top of the car was slim
perry with frost, and showed by his
footprints that he left the foot-traveI
that runs along the center of the top
and walked diagonally toward the side
of the car, his last footprint being
about a foot from the edge.
Whether he became dizzy or not could
not be told, and he said at the Receiv
ing Hospital that it all happened so
suddenly that he could not tell how il
was that he fell.
The jury brought in a verdict that he
came to his death by accidentally fall
ing off a car of the Southern Pacific
Company while in motion. and that he
was attending to his duty as a switch
man.
