Tax Title Case Argued.

The tax title eases of the Nester
Estate VS.. Frank e. Church, of Ian
sing, which was taken up Tuesday
morning at the Houghton county
circuit court in chancery, created
considerable interest among the le-
gal fraternity, which comprised the
larger portion of those present. In
his address to the judge Mr.. Tarsncy,
for the hester estate, claimed that
the supervisor had placed sum in
the blank columns of the tax roll
without designating the purpose;
that he did not extend the taxes or
aggregate them, aud that the last
column where the total tax should
be was blank. He also claimed that
the land was assessed to Thomas
hester, who had been dead two
years, and that the auditor general
designated the newspaper before
any proceeding was commenced in
court. In addition TO these, Mr..
Tarsney presented thirteen other
reasons in support of his case, which
was concluded Tuesday evening
The matter will no doubt be finally
disposed Of by the supreme court,
says the Houghton correspondent of
The Mining Journal, and the result
will be looked forward to with in

NO LIGHT ON THE MYSTERY
UNEXPECTED DANGER IN THE
 HEART OF OAKLAND.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call, Q12 Rr0a dwau Innn 1S

90S Broadway, June 15.
 i've shots that were fired into the mar row-gauge train at Eleventh and Webster streets this morning have given the police and a couple of railroad detectives a lively hunt to-day with no result
 The 1o:45 narrow-gauge had only gone couple of blocks from the depot when a charge of shot shattered one of the win dows and sent the fragments of glass all over the opposite seat, where lady was sitting. The shots had such great inn petus that they went clean through the window, and each made a little hole about the size of pea. There was some excite ment but no one was seriously hurt, al- though one lady was cut on the forehead
 In the car were pr. Ernest B. Boyes, Mrs. J. B. Melvin, sister-in-law of Deputy District Attorney Melvin,< J. Byers, a photographer, and others Dr. Boyes was occupying two seats, with his feet di- rectly under the window through which the shot crashed. Mrs. Melvin was sit ting opposite to him on the other side of the car, and the flying splinters struck her forehead and made few slight cuts, but fortunately did not touch her eyes,
 MT. ByerS was seated In front of Dr. Boyes, and was looking out of the win dow. The shots passed close to his face, knowing what might follow. The con- ductor took the names of the passengers in the car, and later the detectives and Officer Amert were working on the. case.
 "The shots seemed to come from a large cypress tree. at the corner of Eleventh and Webster streets" said Dr. Boyes tonight. They were probably fired by some lad, but it was, very dan gerous sport They passed right over my feet, and the glass spltnters, struck lady sitting across the aisle. The shots had considerable force, as they went clean through the window. There are two small houses near the corner, and the shots seemed to come from between them. The rain was making too much noise for one to hear the report of a gun. Such work should not be permitted in the cen ter of city"
 Inquiry in the houses in the neighbor hood failed to produce any information, as there is no boy known to have a gun. No light was thrown on the affair by the investigations of the detectives or police, and 1t has caused much interest, as it oc- cured in the heart of the city.
 A Chinese laundry is near the scene of the shooting on Eleventh street, but those employed there claim to know nothing of the affair.

DYING WOMAN TAKES REVENGE Triple Tragedy in a Ia
 coma Cafe. JEALOUSY INCITES MURDER TWO LIVES TAKEN BY A MAN
 FROM DYEA. He Is in Turn Shot and Killed With His Own Revolver by One
 of His Expiring
 Victims.
TWO LIVES TAKEN BY A MAN
 FROM DYEA.

TACOMA, June 15.-James D. Bart lett of Dyea entered a stall of Chil- berg's restaurant in this city this morning, drew revolver, and shot Clarence D. Emery and Mrs. Lilly Chandler. He was in turn shot twice and killed by the woman with his own revolver. All three parties to the tragedy are dead.
 The woman formerly lived with Bart lett in Dyea. Two weeks ago she came to Seattle. Yesterday she met Clar- ence Emery, who was bartender on the steamer City of Seattle, and who brought her down from Dyea. Bartlett came here to-day and traced the wo- man and his rival to the restaurant. Emery and the woman were seated at the table eating when Bartlett entered with the waiter.
 AS soon as the latter made his exit from the stall Bartlett drew revol- yer and shot Emery through the right breast, the latter staggering to his feet and going out into the adjoining stall where he fell dead. Another shot struck the woman in the left shoulder. The murderer dropped the revolver and picking up a case knife. stabbed her in the cheek. Mrs. Chandler obtained the revolver and fired two shots, killing Bartlett almost instantly. The woman was removed to a room, where she died in a half hour

K. P. SCHWERIN
 CALLED DOWN Must Admit Reporters to
 the Mail Dock. A BITTER PILL FOR HIM HE HAS TO SWALLOW IT AND
 MAKE NO FACES.
The Calls Expose of the Peking's Pig Pen Resulted in First-Clas Quarters for Soldiers in
 the China and Colon.

The person whom Collis P. Huntington saved from court-martial and dismissal from the navy, one R. P. Schwerin, has come doxn from his high horse.
 His descent was sudden, and every bone in his steggy anatomy was jared in con- sequence.
 Reginald Picayune dreamed that he owned the water front, just as Col lis P. once dreamed that he owned the Oakland water front. Reginald awoke only to find that the State Board of liar hor Commissioners has considerable to say in regard to matters pertaining to the harbor and wharves, and the awakening was Iude one. Like the indolent Turk, he drea med that all and sundry trembled at his power, and, like the Oriental, awoke to find his dream was oniy dream.
 When the first fleet of transports was being fitted out to go to Manila with troops The Call pointed out that the the City of Picking were not as good as werc furnished the Chinese coolies who travel year in and year out on the boat: At this MT. Schwerin got very angry and be allowed on the Mail Company's wharf. On different occasions various members or Tie Calls stan tried to get doWn 10 the transports, but were invariably re- fused admittance.
 Things came to head, however, when the steamer Belgic of the Occidental and and
 
 Hongkong with news from Dewey fleet. Representatives from every paper in town fiocked down to the wharf and every one of them gained admittance save three representatives of The Call. One of the latter. tried to force his way down, Schwerin's orders.S The matter was laid before the Harbor Commissioners, and that body at once informed the autocrat of the Mail dock that he must admit The Call representatives to the wharf or else exclude every newspaper man in the city. Mr. Schwerin swallowed the bitter pill and now The Call men come and go at pleasure.
 The publication of the manner in which the Picking was fitted out has done a great deal of good, and the boys in blue who sailed on the China and Colon yes- terday have The Call to thank for having first-class quarters. When the work of fitting out these two vessels was first begun, Schwerin out of pure cussedness was going to put in the same kind of hunks that had been put in the Peking The Call heard of this and informed the public and the army officers of the fact The result was that such fixtures as had been put in the China and Colon were torn down and quarters equal to any thing put in any of the troopships were fitted up The fight is now over and Reginald Picayune can go back to his dreams, but in future he will confine his efforts after absolute power to his own quarterback. Even there he has to be careful, because when a lieutenant on the quarterdeck of sloop-of-war-but then that story has already been told.

STRANGE INSECT THAT
 FEEDS ON SUGAk BEETS
Professor Duncan Stirling Makes an Unwelcome Discovery at
 Salinas

MONTEREY, June 15.-News comes from Salinas of thediscovery of hitherto entirely unknown beet pest, and beet growers in that section are considerably disturbed over its appearance. Professor Duncan Stirling, an enthusiastic student of entomology, is the discoverer Of the insect. He was examining the vegetables in his garden about week ago, when he saw upon one of his beet plants a pe- culiar insect. The stranger seemed vigor- ouS and was enjoying himself. Professor Stirling found upon investigation several more like him.
 Obtaining a specimen, he at once for warded it to the agricultural department of the University of California. Professor Hilgard was unable to identify the insect, department Professor c. w. Woodwork, head of that department, arrived in Sa- linas yesterday to make thorough ex- animation and careful study of the pest.
 So far, Professor Woodwork is undecid- ed as to whether it is native in California or has been brought from Europe, where it is common, and does great damage to Sugar-beetS.
 A fly, much like an ordinary house fly, lays a minute white egg upon a leaf of a beet plant. From this a small worm is matched. which burrows between the lay CTS of the leaf. After eating all the sub stance out of the leaf the worm forms a chrysalis and falls to the ground, where it remains until .he fly emerges from 1t: The various stages of evolution are passed in a short space of time.
 If the insect is not native, Professor Woodwork thinks it must have been brought to California in the beet seed im- ported yearly in large quantities from
 The beet fields in both the Salinas and WatsonVille sections are to undergo a thorough investigation before Professor Woodworth comes to positive decision regarding the nature of the pest and the means to eXterminate 1t.

WASHINGTON MASONS
 RECOGNIZE NEGRO LODGES
Colored Men Permitted to Fraternize With White Members of
 tho Ordor

SEATTLE, June 15.-The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Washington, now in session in this city, took action to-day that will be of uni- versal interest. For the first time in the history of Masonry in America negro lodges are recognized as legitimate and their members privileged to fraterniZe with white members of the order
 It was in 17S5 that the Grand Lodge Of England substituted the word "freemen' for "freeborn" in their ritual, and that year issued a charter to Prince Hall Lodge of Massachusetts, which was com posed of colored men. Subsequently Prince Hall Lodge issued charters to negro lodges throughout the United States, but no regular subordinate or Grand Lodge has affiliated with these colored brethren. The question of receg- hilton has been the subject of much bitter controversy in various States Washing ton takes precedence in, extending greet ing, and her lodges may be visited by all freemen who are members of any regular Masonic lodge.

LIVELY BOXING BOUTS.
Dahl and Carroll Fought Six Hot
 Rounds in the Alpine Club.

The Alpine Athletic Club gave a very successful and interesting boxing enter tainment on Tuesday in its gymnasium, 2S Golden Gate avenue.
 The first event was a six-round contest between Ed Wiley and Young Mcdonald, which was won by Mcdonald, although Wiley stood out well against solid shot.
 Pat Lynch won decision over Joe Kane. The boxers smashed each other in the customary give-and-take style for eight rounds; the soft smashes of the gloves on the body could have been heard a block away, but where hard and sting ing blows are admlnlStered very little sound follows.
 What really should have been the event of the evening was Six-round bout be- tween the light-weightS Emil Dahl of the California Athletic and Swimming Clu5 and Dick Carroll of the San Francisco Athletic Club. Jim Ryan was selected TO referee the match. Carroll, who is a rangy fellow with extraordinary reach of arms, looked very determined when he faced his stocky but well-built opponent. During the first round Dahl brought the claret from Carrolls left ear by we'll ward Carroll, with savage upper-cut rattled DahTs teeth. Dahl at close range landed several times and finished the round with points soad in ms 6d fsyor; hI , to the floor with right swing in the neck but came very near committing foul by striking Carroll while the last-named boxer was on his knees watching a chance to regain his pins Dahl had the better of this round.
 The third round was hotly contested. It was give and take, but Carroll scored a lead by well directed uppercuts.
 The fourth was tolerably even. Carroll stal red out well but in the last half of the round Dahl went in for short-range fight ing and had the best of the finish. This round was an even thing.
 Tn the fifth round Dahl held his fire back too long and allowed Carroll to score too many points, which gave Carroll the lead in points at the finish.
 Both men went at the game hammer and tongs' in the last round, but CarrCn was growing weak and Dahl had won a decided advantage when the gong sounded tn, finish of the contest. The referee awarded the fight to Dahl, much to The surprise of Carrolls friends.

A MUNICIPAL
 PRINTING PLANT.
Los Angeles City Council Urged to
 Establish One in the City Hall

LOS ANGELES, June 15.-A petition was filed with the City Clerk to-day ad- dressed to the Council praying for the es- tablishment of municipal printing plant. The petition sets forth that for the sum of $500 a printing plant could be placed In the basement of the City Hall and that all job printing required by the city, for which thousands of dollars is annually paid, could be done at a saving of about 6 per cent in cost The petition further asserts that the city could employ skilled labor to perform the work and could af- ford to pay the price for it established by the Allied Printing Trades Council of Los Angeles. Such a municipal plant is being operated in Boston with satisfactory re- suits.
 The proposition was discussed about the City Hall to-day and met with general favor. It will come up at the next ses- sion of the Council.
