during that week was fully occupied
with interviewing the Trustees and
various ether people, and if he did not
have the paper to refresh his memory
he would not have a clear recollection
of what occurred, as it was a year ago.
He took no notes that he remembered
but went to the office and dictated the
interviews to the stenographer. When
something else interviewed he made
notes He did not a present recall
any instance in which he made notes Of
his interviews. He could not tell just
when he interviewed Leonard or Won
Arnold, but Mr. Weinstock was the
first one he interviewed. The first thing
he knew of Won Arnold's plans or a

views in the form OF an affidavit, but did
not sign or swear to any of them. He
did not remember saying to Mr.. Bruner
that Mr. Weinstock said he would have

reason why ne told Mr.. McClatchy he
did not think Mr.. Weinstock had any

talked.

FRED BROWNS CASE.
He Was Discharged, but Was
Again Arrested.

Fred Brown, the man who was
brought here from Tuolumne County to
answer TO a charge of grand larceny
preferred by j. A. Logan, was before
Justice Henry yesterday for eXamlna-
ton, but the charge was dismissed.
But Brown was not allowed to go free.
new warrant was promptly served on
him charging him with a similar crime,
involving the same property and the
same transaction, but alleging that ii
was committed in Placer County.
The trouble between Logan and Brown
grows out of a transaction concerning
horse wagon and harness. Logan
claims that the property was his, ana
that Brown had no right to retain it.
The latter however, claims to have bar
gained for the outfit and that there is no
criminal feature in the case.

BARELY
In Time to Prevent Battle at
Guayama.

Gan Unlimbered to Shell Spanish Position.
Guayama, Porto Rico, Aug. 13, via
Ponce, Aug. 14-Hostilites were
brought to au end here to-day amid the
groans and murmurings of the soldiers
under Gen. Brooke, who were about to
begin a movement whose end seemed
certain victory.
Spaniards, massed in strong defens-
es, lay right before our lines, in easy
range, Light Battery b of Pennsyl-
vania had been ordered into position to
begin the engagement. The guns of
the first section had been brought up
and gun had been unlimbered.
A Pennsylvania stood ready to fire.
Suddenly there was a shout from the
rear. Two men on horseback rushed
into view, frantically waving their arms
The men at the guns waited. The
horsemen were Signal Mclaughlin and
an orderly. They had ridden hard
from the end Of the military wire that
was built in the field to Gen. Brooke's
headquarters.
The order to commence firing had
been given when the Lieutenant and
orderly reached the gun.
"Cease action" shouted the Lieu
tenant. Then 10 the wondering artil-
lerymen he explained that the war was
over. A message had been received
from Gen, Miles by Gen. Brooke, he
said, directing that all hostile military
operations should be stopped. The
peace protocol had been signed by rep
resentatives of both governments.
The Pennsylvanians, officers and
men, howled with disgust, and when
the Lieutenant delivered Gen. Brook s
order that they shey should return to
the camp at Guayama they suddenly
wheeled the guns about and went
grumbling to the rear.
The position of these men was su-
perb. Brooke had thrown out three
strong columns to the left of Guayama.
His plan was to shell and rush his way
to Cayey, where he was to form a juno
ton with Gen. Wilson.
His main column, himself in com
mand, consisting of three light batter
les, three regiments of infantry and
two troops of cavalry, advanced oyer
a mountain road, with its fanks effect
ually protected. 1t met with no oppo-
sition. Three miles out beyond the
scene of Mondays fight the enemy was
discovered intrenched in splendid de-
fensive position on the top of mountain,
but the range was easy.
1t was then that the notice of peace
arrived and sent the Pennsylvania sad
ly back with the gun that was to have
sent the first shell on the way to victo.

In Memory of a Pioneer.

Some time this fall, a fine marble
slab will be erected to the memory of
Mr.. Michael Hyder, who isburied near
where Sam Hyder's mill now stands at
Gap Run. This appropriate step is the
outcome of energetic work inaugurated
by DR.. N. E. Hyder and other relatives
now living at Gap Run.
Mike Hyder, as he was familiarly
known in the early settlement of our
country, was one of the band of heroic
mountaineers gathered OF Sycamore
Shoals for the purpose of storming
Kings Mountain, but he, among 9TH
ers, was detailed to stay in this section
to protect the women and children
from the savage Indians. He did not
take part in the Kings Mountain fight
but he performed equally as hazardous
duty in facing and fighting enemies
whose ferocious and bloodthirsty ma
ture has passed into history.
The slab which is to mark the grave
of this early pioneer is now being made
at johnson City, and it will be erected
at time to be designated in the future
with appropriate and imposing cere.

Terrible Cloud Burst in ROgersyille in Which
Twenty Lives are Lost.

Knoxville, Aug 13.-A terrible cloud
burst, in which at least twenty lives
are known to have been sacrificed, was
last night visited upon the community
of Beech Greek, about fifteen miles
north Of Rogersville, Tenn, which
place is eighty miles distant from Knox
vile.
The torrent of water fell in the vicin-
ity of the home of VIM. Figan, a we'll
to-do farmer. and his entire family of
wife and FIVE children was drowned
and washed away with the food. Figan,
however, escaped. The deluge of wa
ter carried with it every other human

the lost reported here up to a late hour
tonight, in addition to the Figan fam
lily, are John Arnold and Samuel Hen
ry and wife. These people resided
within quarter of mile of the Figan
home.
The information was received in this
city by special friends of the deceased.
Searching parties have been formed
and are tonight looking for he bodies
of the unfortunates who perished i'll the
food. 1t is, however, feared that they
may never be recovered,
The cloudburst destroyed several
thousand dollars worth of property.
Whole crops were washed away and
palatial homes suffered the same fate
as the humblest hut in the path of the
food. 1t has been i'm possible to COM
municate with the stricken community
from this city on account of the fact
that all wire communication has been
interfered with. The complete details
of the catastrophe are, however, expec-
ted ly tomorrow night, coming by mail.
