ROUND VALLEY
RANCHER SLAIN
Shot by a Neighbor With
Whom He Was at
Enmity.
They Meet on a Lonely Mountain
Road and the Quicker Man
Survives.
Tragic Ending CT a Quarrel Over
Grazing Rights on Public
Lands.

UKIAH, CAL, Jan. 16.-Another killing
aas been added to the grewsome record of
Round Valley, the dark and bloody
ground" of California. On lonely noun
tain road near Coveo John Kenny was
shot and killed by jeremiah NJ. Hulett
neighborlng rancher. The tragedy oc-
Cured on Tuesday evening, but the Sher-
ifs Office here was not notified until late
last night. The two men had been at en-
nifty, and the news that one of them sue
ceeded in ending the career of the other
has caused little surprise in Round Val
ley, where such tinales are looked upon as
a matter of course. Because of the known
hatred of the one FOR the other tie state
ment OF Hulett that he met Kenny on the
mountain side and the quicker man came
away alive finds ready belief. Justice Joel
Erlsnd of Round Valley Township, who Is
acting Coroner OF this county, left for the
scene of the killing Wednesday evening,
but has not yet returned.
Kenny and Hulett owned adjoining
ranches twenty miles east of Covelo, on
the divide between Mendocino County on
the west and Tehama and Colusa counties
on the east. Both had stock running on
uusurveyed Government lands and it is
supposed that out OF d ffeTences as to their
respective rights 10 run stock on certain
tracts the trouble occurred. Kenny was a
comparative newcomer in that part of the
country, and since his arrival there it is
said the TWO men had been at swords
points. On last election day their differ
ences apparently reached a climax when
Hulettt challenged the right of Kenny to
Hot 4
blows followed and but tor the interven-
ton of friends OF the com batants blood
would have been shed. On that occasion
the two men were pactied and no more
was thought OF the quarrel.
While Hulett, accompanied by mis- son,
was riding to town on Tuesday evening
he met Kenny on the road. Kenny car
ried Winchester across his saddle, while
Hulett had a six-shooter in his holster.
As soon as the men met the occurrence
of election day was again brought up and
the quarrel renewed. According to the
claim of HuIett and mis- son, Kenny, after
considerable heated discussion, drew his
riff. Hulett was too quick for him and
like fash he drew his pistol from its
holster and fired at Kenny. The latter
fell from his saddle and was dead before
he touched the ground.
After the shooting Hulett rode with all
possible haste to Round Valley and there
delivered himself up to the authorities
The following morning acting Coroner
Erland left for the scene. His return is
anxiously awaited.
Both Kenny anG Hulett were always
looked upon as law-abiding citizens. HUI
lett has but one eye, but is said to be one
of the finest pistol shots in that part OF
the country. The dead man was about IS
years of age and lived alone on ranch.
Hulett is man OF family, having wife
and several children.

UKIAH, CAL, Jan. 16-The jury in the
case of. The People vs. John Dodge, on
trial for the murder of Rancher J. A h.
Mudgett OF Usal, after celebrating for
seven hours, returned verdict soon after
midnight last night of guilty of murder
in the first degree and recommended that
the defendant be incarcerated in the State
penitentiary for the term of his natural
life.
No one except the officers of the court
and the defendant were in attendance
when the jury returned with the verdict.
Dodge maintained the stoical expression
so typical of the Indian race during he
reading of the verdict and while the jury
was being polled. He appeared pleased
when he learned that he would not hang
as he fully expected, it is said, that the
verdict would be one of murder in the first
degree without any recon- mendation.
Monday, January %, at 10 A. NJ, has been
fixed as the time for the passing of SEN
tence by the court.
The case of The People VS.. Ida Dodge,
charged as an accessory after the fact to
the crime of which her husband has Just
been convicted, has been dismissed on
motion of the District Attorney.

Dubois Makes NO Gatns on the Sisth
Ballot for Senator.
BOISE, IDAHO, Jan 16--Tne sixth ballot
for United States Senator, taken to-day in
the Legislature of this State, resulted as
follows:
Dubois, silver Repu blican. 25; Angel,
Populist, "a; Nelson, Popu.ist, Is; Lewis,
Claggett, Populists; Bagley, Republican,
and Johnson. Democrat, each.
The Democrats voted solidly for Nelso n,
and if the Popu.ists had done the same be
would have been elected.
A great many Populists oppose him on
the ground that he is more of Democrat
than Populist. The Popuists and Dem
ocrats are no nearer together than they
were a week ago and there seems to be a
feeling that there will be no election for
quite while.

SAN DIEGO WATER RATES.
Judge Torrance 0verruies the Demurrer
of the Land and Town Company
in The Ward Case.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 16.-The case of
Ella B. Ward VS.. The San Diego Land and
Town Company came up before Judge
Torrance, OF the Superior Court to-day.
The plaintiff alleged that the company
sought 10 double charge for water rental
under the Sweeuwater system from So so
to 81 per acre. The defendant demurred
to the complaint.
Judge Torrance overruled the demurrer,
holding that the So so water rate under
the company's system was the actual rate
established and collected, which, under
section 5 OF the act of 1885, should be
deemed the accepted legally established
rate Doubling the water rate was unau-
thorized. On the subject of the power of
the water company to make contracts
with consumers Judge Torrance saw moth
ing in the constitution or statutes to pro-
hibit it, whether made before or after the
Supervisors had fixed rates.
The decision is directly opposed to the
famous decision of United States District
Judge Ross some months ago, which was

not now doing.
Speaker Cline has announced the chair

1t is claimed by the free-siiver Republi-

pointment has been made in the interest
of Cline for Senator. Cline Is undoubtedly

California, who has recently been holding
special services at tn" request of the
female members of the flock. 1t is asserted
that the women have been aroused to
high pitch of religious excitement at these
meetings, greatly to the disgust of the
men, who have formally requested Pastor
Robinson to desist. The women remain
true to their idol, however, and a split in
the congregation is threatened.

SALT LAKES SENSATION.
Assistant Postmaster Mcbride and Clerk
Cunnington Guilty of En-

SALT LAKE. UTAH, Jan. 16.-Frank
NJ. Mcbride, assistant postmaster of this
city, was arrested tonight on charge OF
embezzienent. He confessed to having
taken $4,000 of the money realized from the
sale of stamps since July last.
J. W. Cunnington, the stamp clerk, is
i'm plicated also, and a warrant is out for
his apprehension. So far Cunnington' s
shortage does not appear to exceed $500.
Postmaster Barratt discovered the de-
falcation on checking up the stock of
stamps on hand, which was far short of
the amount the books Kept by Mcbride
showed.
Mcbride was arraigned, waived exami-
nation and was held in $4,000 bonds. He
is very well connected and has influential
relatives in Washington, d. c., and is a
nephew of Senator Mcbride OF Oregon.
He has been living "high" and spending
