THE CABIN RIDDLED.
A Law Book on Unlawful De-
 tainer Found by Searchers.

The shanty in which the murderer took shelter is almost torn to pieces by the bullets fired at him. It is a miracle that he was not hit. From all sides came the fire, and all the walls are full of holes The door has about ten holes in it. A heavy keg inside had four bull lets in it. Three bullets went through the rear of the cabin within half an inch of one another and lodged in the house on the opposite side of Mont salm street.
 Showing the mind of the man and the umbrage he had taken at a former eviction by the Sheriff, on shelf lay a book entitled Every Man His Own Lawyer; or, the Clerk and Magistrates Assistant" It was opened and weight laid on the page where the subject of forcible entry and detainer was treated.
 The whole cabin reeked with the odor of salt pork in a barrel, and Detective Silvey who was taking measurements in the afternoon, was obliged to go out every now and then to get a breath of fresh air. Officer Desmond has been detailed to watch the cabin.

HAYNES EVICTION.
Why He Hated Sheriff's Depu-
 ties and Made Threats.

On September r, 1897, Sheriff's depu- ties were sent out to dispossess Haynes of his property, because J. $. Reed, the real owner, wanted possession himself. Haynes was not at home, and all the property was put outside the place by the deputies in Haynes absence.
 He returned shortly afterward, and, taking an ax, broke in the door, which had been barricaded, and replaced all his property He was furious and stated that he would have killed every deputy in the party if he had been there. At this time the deputies found two shotguns, two revolvers and murderous- looking dagger in thehouse. The dagger was kept by Deputy Sheriff Galland and given to Under Sheriff Clack who turned it over to Chief Lees yesterday.
 Reed let Haynes remain on the prop erty after the action of the Sheriff's deputies, because this gave him all lawful claims, and until he needed the property he wanted no trouble in evict- ing Haynes.

I then ran up to my house and after getting my gun began firing. As I was passing the gateway he saw me and fired. He then fired twenty or thirty more shots at the diff ferent officers from his doorway. To get better view of the officers he came outside when he was struck by the con- tents of a shotgun. He fell to the ground and the officers closed in on him.
 He has threatened to shoot me at various times. I have charge of the lots adjoining his land, but he said they belonged to him and fenced them up. He used to steal my chickens, I caught him at it and knocked him down two or three times, but every time he got up he would try and brain me with a rock. his favorite weapon.
 ''I was afraid there might be some shooting when Kennedy and Wilkinson first came on the scene, and to prevent it I walked out and told him if he would lay his gun down I would fight him fair He raised his weapon men aceingly, and the policemen told me to get inside. That is all l know about the affair"

A Testator's Intentions.

In the will of the late George True of Alameda County his widow and Theodore Corner were named as the executors. Before the will was filed for probate Corner renounced his right to become the executor at the request of Mrs. True. However, he changed his mind and with drew his renunciation before the letters were issued. The widow contested his right to withdraw his remuneration and she was successful in the Superior Court. Corner appealed and the judgment of. the Corner had right to withdraw his re- nunciation before letters were issued on the ground that Corner derived his right to be appointed executor from the tssta- tor and not from his co-executor, say ing: ''The appointment of each is a part of the testator's will equally with the disposition made by him of his estate"

s90O and 5000 hid in some cans under the flooring if his cabin and he was afraid somebody would steal it. Since it was seen that the journey would not hurt him he was sent to the cabin in charge of Sergeant Baldwin and search made. Sure enough, the money he has earned by tinkering was found in three cans under the floor. One had been there so long it was rusty. The larger can, when the money was count ed out in the Chiefs office. with the prisoner an attentive witness. was found to contain the sum of $500 20, mostly in silver. There were few s10 and $5 gold pieces, but the larger portion was in denominations under dollar. Another can contained S100 and the third $64 10, making a total of S964 35. In another can was lot of trinkets, such as lockets, chains, brooches, etc.
 When the fact that the money had been hidden in the shanty became known 1t was stated by some persons whose conversation was overheard by a car conductor on the Folsom street line that the murderer of Lieutenant Burke would have died long ago 1t the fact had been learned sooner.

RIVAL SCRlBES
 COME TO BLOWS Lively Physical Argument on the Ferry-BOat San
 Rafael. War Between Two Newspapers Leads To Shedding of
 Editorial Blood.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 sAITSAIITO, March 23.-Editorial blood was spilled here yesterday on the deck of the ferryboat San Rafaei' as sile was lying at the slip, just before her oe nart,1re for the metropolis on the s:la o,c,ock trip. Ernest Hewson, the youth ful editor of the Suburban, small paper n11blished at Corte Madeira, planted HIS fist upon the right optic of w. Il. Fur telle. the editor of the Record of Lark spur.
 Bad feeling has existed between the editors of the rival papers TOT some weeks. but until yesterday only editorial comment has been indulged in Lark spur and Corte Madeira are only half mile apart, and each burg is envious of the other The Corte Madeira paper. without mentioning names, accused Fur telle by innuendo of complicity in a nllIn- Der of shady affairs, and last Saturday Purtelle's paper came out with pitter attack upon young Hewsons parents accusing them of having been in some petty swindling and invited to move out of town.
 It was this that led to the encounter on the boat yesterday. Hewson, who is waited for Purtelle who is his senior by. over 20 years. When the Larkspur edi ton arrived Hewson walked up to him' and asked him why he published the scurriious article about his folks. Pur- telle made no reply, and the youthful ed itor drew back his arm and let fly ter directly over the eye. splitting, the skin under the lid and causing Purtelle to lose some blood. The young man was not not satisfied with this, and followed up his attack by rushing the Larkspur editor, to the railing, where he commeced to play a tattoo on his already flushed and cut features. Detective Bainbridge of the San Francisco police at this juncture in- terfered and ended the fracaS.

down and he made at me with an ax. I drew a revolver and chased him into his yard, when his dog flew at me and I shot the dog. That was the only shot I fired.
 Then the policemen came to my house and wanted to arrest me. l told them to arrest Hopkinson and let me alone Then the lieutenant came and asked me to surrender. l told him that I had done nothing wrong and he had better let me alone. He told me to surrender and fired shot at me and then I fired at him. If he had not fired at me I would not have fired at him. Then a lot of them came and fired at me and my house and kept firing at them till I gave up. One of the bullets from a Winchester struck me on the eyebrow and nose and another on the scalp, knocking me down. It was then that l made up my mlnd 10 surrender.

Hop kinson was fighting on the other side He has done everything to take my property from me and l blame him for the most of my troubles They had no right to try and steal my property from me, and I consider I had right to defend 1t from the police or anybody else"
 Are you sure that Lieutenant Burke fired at you first?"
 "Of course he did" was the reply, Cor why should I have fired at him?"
 Haynes is not so craZv as he evil dently knows the value of the plea of self defense. His statement that the lieutenant fired at him first is con- tradicted by several eyewitnesses.
 As against the crazy plea Chief Lees also points to the fact that Haynes knew exactly the location of each of the cans containing his money and their contents.

BURKE'S WOUNDS.
Chief Lees Has the Body Taken
 to the Officers Home.

At the request of Chief Lees pr. John Gallagher held tie autopsy on Liuten- ant Burke's body at the City and Coun- ty Hospital. He found two gunshot wounds, either of which would prove fatal. The one, however, which entered the left groin was the one that caused death, as it produced internal hem orrhage, the bullet having cut one of the principal arteries in it's passage. The other shot entered the body on the right side on line with the navel and passed into the abdominal cavity, where it lodged, as did the one which entered at the groin. It was not known that two shots took effect until after the autopsy.
 Death was caused by internal hemor- rhage The body was removed to O'Conner's undertaking parlors at 767 Mission street, and then to the resi- dence, at 23S Shotwell street, where it now lies. Chief Lees saved the body from being taken to the Morgue by tel ephoning Coroner Hawkins the facts, that official cheerfully waiving any ex- animation. The Chief himself arrived on the scene as the murderer was en- tering the hospital gates.
 Chief Lees detailed Sergeant Price, an old friend of the family, to break the news of the death to the widow, but Rev. Father Cummins heard of 1t and went to the house with the sad story first. Sergeant Price has been told by the Chief to stay at the house and try to comfort the widow until he is satis- fled to leave.
 The funeral will take place to-mor- row from the residence at 23S Shotwell street, thence to the Church of St Charles Borromeo. where a requiem high mass will be celebrated at 10 a. m.

Must Retreat to the Wall.

The Supreme Court has upheld the judgment of the Superior Court of Placer County in the case of E. P. Reed, who was convicted of murder in the second degree Reed killed his partner, an old man named L. G. Brown. The two were cutting shakes and friends of Reed came up to the cabin. Brown did not treat them nicely and Reed took up the matter and received several knife wounds from Brown He then went outside of the cabin and minute or two later Brown appeared, still with his knife in hand, but he made no attempt to use it again. Reed seized a club and struck Brown on the head, inficting injuries that resulted in Reeds plea of self-defense does not hold as he did not retreat ito the walr' in the meaning of the law, and he must stand the consequences.

THE MURDERER'S TALE
Chief Lees Scouts His Evident
 Plea of Insanity.

The theory that Haynes is crazy is secuted by Chief Lees, and while talk ing with him in the City Prison yester- day afternoon after he had been in his cell for two or three hours he seemed to talk quite rationally.
 They have been for years," he said, trying to take my property from me. I bought the land thirty years ago from E. O. Brown, and 1 hold not only a United States grant to it, but also the lion and unicorn grant. Fifteen years ago Sheriff O'Brien tried to take the property from me, but he failed In September last the Sheriff's deputies broke the windows in my house to get in and dispossess me, but I put my eff fects back again and have held posses sion since. Do you think it was right for the Sheriff's deputies to break into my house and throw my things into the street?
 "Hopkinson and Rooney have been trfing to get the lot adjoining my prop erty but I claim that it belongs to me as much as to them. Yesterday 1 built a fence around the lot and last night they came and tore down the fence and threw stones at my house. This morn ing I found a portion of the fence in Grahams store and I found out that Hopkinson had torn it down. When l went back l saw Hopkinson and We had some words about tearing the fence

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Haynes Tried to Kill Hopkin-
 son Over a Land Squabble.

Haynes Tried to Kill Hopkin-
 son Over a Land Squabble.
 Hopkinson's description of the battle and the causes that led up to it is as follows:
 By the old survey I was off my lins two feet ten inches at the front and sixteen inches at the back. I built my barn on the proper line three years ago, and Haynes warned me that I was stealing two feet of his property. By the new survey I was allowed sixteen inches at the back and two feet at the front. Yesterday I began fencing on the new survey. Last night he spoke to me again and said that I was steal ing two feet of his land. and told him to mind his own business as I did not bother him. He went off muttering threats against me if I did not stop. out to pasture and led it through the pathway leading across his lot. He looked at me but never said a word. On my return he was waiting for me and when I got within twenty feet of my fence he yelled Hey I turned around and saw that he had a pistol in his hand and was excited. Thinking that he was going to shoot l moved toward my house when he yelled, You -, don't you know that you are SLeai1nS two rect or my prop erty?' I answered, Look here, you mind your own business; I'll put ms fence on my property line and with that he yelled, What do you say, you -- -, and then leveled his gun at me as if to shoot Being un- armed, I ducked and lodged and kept on running until l got behind my fence My wife was standing at the kitchen door, and I called to N,r to pass me my rife, but before had time to run upstairs for it he was behind me. I ran around the alley to get out of his way, and just as I turned the corner he fired. I then went down to Twenty fourth street and looked for a policeman. I had not gone many yards when I heard a second shot, but I did not learn that he had tried to kill my hunting dog until after the affray.
 Not being able to find an officer asked John Graham to telephone to the Seventeenth street station. Within a short time two mounted officers, Ken nedy and Wilkinson, came out. They attempted to arrest him. but he ordered them away at the point of pistol. While one watched the house the other telephoned Lieutenant Burke for fur ther instructions. About a half hour after the patrol wagon drove up, in which were Lieutenant Burke and two officers. After warning him of his dan ger, he ordered me to stay at the cor ner, fearing that my presence would anger Haynes. l saw Burke walk up to Haynes door and the latter motioning him to keep off, and on his approaching nearer deliberately raise his gun and shoot the poor lieutenant down.

COLONEL MCKENZIE DYING. He Was City Marshal Over Forty
 Years Ago.

Chief Lees was notified yesterday that Colonel John w Mckenzie was dying at his residence, 12O Broad street, near Ocean View.
 The colonel is a native of Newark, N J., and while carrying on the business or a jeweler there he sold out and enlisted in the army. He fought through the in Duncan's famous battery that saved the day at Palo Alto and Buena Vista.
 After the war he settled in this city office from September, 1854, to July. 1855. Then he was appointed chief clerk to, the City Marshal and property clerk, these positions being then combined, and held the office till June 3, 1859.
 He was for many years colonel of the First Regiment, and was considered one of the best shots in the regiment.
