over the improvements, and crops
on acertain piece of ground claim ID

Craze had located as d placer claim.
Early last spring McCrea put IL d
small crop which he was harvesting
at the time of his death. Tue men
had met in Rockford d number Of
times and had words over the mat
ter. At the time Of the murder
McCrea Was on a load of oats and
Hooper, hearing that McCreA was
taking the crop away, loaded a
double barreled shotguu with buck
shot and came owe to the place, y
distance of four miles, to put d stop
to the harvesting. AS Hooper ap-
preached, a few words passed be-
tween the two men and Hooper rails
ed the weapon and fired, filling Nc
Crae's body with.buckshot. Hooper
gave himself up and was brought tC
Rapid City.
The case has been hard fougth.

OUTRAGE BY
MEXICANS.
Armed Force Landed on
GuanO Island.
u. S. FLAG PULLED DOWN.
That OF the Mexican Republic
HOisted In Its Stead.
THE LOCATION OF THE ISLAND.

San Diego. Cal, Jan. 1.-The steamer
Albion arrived Friday from a months
cruise down the coast. Her passengers
tell of rather high handed proceeding
at Clipperton island on the part OF the
Mexican gunboat Democrat. being no
less than the hauling down of the stars
and stripes by an armed force landed
for the purpose, I'm spite OF the protests
of the men'there employed and the rails
ing Of the Mexican flag.
Roscoe Howard. one OF the passengers,
said: "On our return trip we took on a
sailor at Acapulco. and from him learned
that he had been brought to that port
by the Mexican gunboat Democrat from
ClipEerton island. He and two other
men had been employed by guano oom-
pany to take charge OF 1000 tonsof guano
that were stored In the warehouses on the
island. and when they were landed there
some nine months ago they hoisted the
American flag and notified the secretary
of state of their action ON Dec. lathe
Democrat landed a crew of marines on
the island and the stars and stripes was
hauled down and in it's place the Mexi-
can flag was hoisted. Having taken
formal possession, the marines withdrew
and notified the men who remained on
the island not to allow anyone to take
away the guano under penalty Of vio-
lating the Mexican laws.
The island is 500 miles off the Mexican
coast. 1t is known as an atoll or coral
reef. 1t is about four miles in circum-
ference. Two palm trees constitute the
sole vegetation on the island, on which
Is made the home of millions OF sea fowl.
Thousands of tons of the richest guano
are to be found on the island. When the
marines landed 10 take possession of the
island in behalf of Mexico they. were
fully armed.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-01-01
THE MEXICAN VERSION.

Mexico City. Jan. 1y-Oficial intelli-
gence received from Mazatlan regarding
the visit of the Mexican gunboat Demo-
crat to Clipperton island says II was
found that party Of Americans had
raised the American flag and appropri-
ated all the guano beds. They had built
houses and permanently established
themselves. Captain Genesta ordered
the American flag hauled down and the
Mexican flag raised. there being little
protest on the part of the Americans.
There are about 10000 tons of guano on
the island valued at $500, 900 in gold
Representations showing that the action
OF the guano company is one OF mere
usurpation will be made. Clipperton
island is undoubtedly in Mexican terri
tory, although not settled by Mexicans.
