and would, moreover, do anything he could
to escape settling with them if they did not
come to terms.
The objection of Mr.. Shinn was overruled,
and then the witness was questioned regard
ing some of the statements he had made
against the defendants on their preliminary
examination for grand larceny, when they
had been acquitted on the evidence of Case
beer and his own witnesses.
Casebeer was asked if he had not threat
ened Williams in the Santa Barbara court
room the night the jury in the damage suit
of Mrs. Williams was out, and had not Judge
Day advised Williams to go away and avoid
trouble with Casebeer. The witness could
not remember. He was asked if, in his con-
versations with Bruce Casebeer, whom he
had summoned to Santa Barbara, to try to
help compromise the suit of Mrs Williams,
he had not stated that before he would let
the Wlliamses collect dollar from him
he would ''shoot Ben's CUTS out and put
them behind the bars" The witness denied
that he had threatened to shoot out portions
of the anatomy of his son-in-law, but he did
admit that he had threatened to put them
both behind the bars. As it was evident the
cross-examinaton of Casebeer could not be
concluded at that session, the examination
was continued until this morning at 10
o'clock.

DAWSON A GREAT DOG TOWN
How a Canine of the Bull Variety Was
initiated

Dawson is the greatest dog town on earth,
and the CANNES know their worth. The
miner can do little without them in winter,
and is more than willing to feed them well
through the summer for their services dur
ing the cold winters. Consequently the
Eskimo is extremely well kept and has great
pride. This the well-nurtured pups that
have been taken gold hunting know to their
sorrow. Every one has suffered severe
drubbing almost Immediately on arrival,
and were lucky to get off with one. After
that the native dogs, with an air of tolera-
tion, allow them to live.
Civilized CANNES by the hundred submit
ted to this initiation and suffered in silence.
1t was only few weeks ago that a milk
white bulldog was imported into the famous
camp and did little initiating on his own
account. When al Bartlett, the speedy
packer and rich mine owner, was in New
York he got hold of Bowery production
that was q wonder. The beast was milk
white, with great red eyes and massive jaws
which had won him more than one hard
fight.
After landing from little'up-river steam
er Bartlett started up the water front with
the ugly bulldog close at his heels. Down
the street came an old Eskimo dog, fairly
bristling for fight. Here was a chance for
a conquest. He had never been against a
bulldog before. The fsh-fed native fairly
rushed into the fight, but found the milk
white bulldog more than ready to go to
work. 1t was great fight and soon over
with. The bulldog, finding he had some
thing easy, changed holds dozen. times,
and with every change brought out the
bright red blood. In two minutes the ma
tive sulked up the street, hardly able TO
walk. But the bulldog had not finished yet,
for the Dawson dogs are full of resource.
From away up the street came the men,
bers of the clan with the defeated member
trotting along on three legs attheir head.
They howled with delight whemthey caught
sight of their prey. The bulldog made one
grab, catching the wounded leader by the
throat. After that he could do nothing but
hold on A dozen dogs grabbed him and
dragged him about as if he had been bone.
The fight endeJ as all fights do The Esk-
mo dog which had been looking for trouble
was dead. The bulldog was deep crimson,
and most of the dye was furnished by his
own blood He had the partial use of three
Aiegs, one eye was almost closed and his
cose-cropped ear was cropped closer still.
The bull had made dog history at Dawson,
but at terrible cost to himself.
"For Dawson dogs are clannsh, and if
your dog licks one he's got to lick his clan"
as AL Bartlett says in talking about the
lght.-Seattle Post-Inteligencer.

SPECIMEN OF FILIAL AFFECTION
Pathan Coolly Kills His Father When
Ordered to Do So

The following anecdote is given by an In
dian officer as illustrative of the manners
and customs of the willy Pathan. A certain
general and his staff, while vending their
way through one of the narrowest valleys
of Tirah, were annoyed by the attentions Of
a solitary marksman, who from time to time
sent bullet unpleasantly close At last the
general turned to his orderly-a Pathan
sowar-and told him to dismount, take his
carbine and try and stalk the mountaineer.
The sowar started off, and presently there
was a crack and gray4bearded old Afridi
tumbled headlong down the mountain side.
The sowar returned and fell into his place.
''Well done!" said the general. "But how
on earth did you manage it so easily?" "Oh."
replied the sowar, ''I knew his habits. He
was my father. London Truth.

her with $40 while en- route to this city on
Saturday. She had turned this money over
to the police detectives. She had left Case
beer at the corner of Fifth and Spring streets
on Saturday, night shortly after 8 o'clock,
and the next she had seen of him was when
she was called to the receiving hospital and
saw him injured at that place.
At this time the complainant entered the
court room, supported by a physician and
another attendant. Mr.. Shinn suggested that
the witness be withdrawn and Casebeer be
placed upon the stand, which was done.
Casebeer is quite an old man, and will be
70 years of age next March. He seemed to
be very feeble and his hands trembled very
much. He talked in low tone of voice
but never once did he complain, aloud in
any event, of any pain from his recent
wounds. The witness was asked to relate
the circumstances of his visit to Williams
Casebeer stated that he had desired to get
compromise with them. On Friday, October
8th, 1897, he went to the house of Mr.. Cart
er in Santa Barbara and there asked Allie
to write at his dictation to the Williams
A copy of Santa Barbara newspaper con-
tanning copy of this letter was handed to

there. The letter was in substance about
the same which Allie Carter had testified
to before. There was one particular SEN
tence in the communication, however, and
this was where Casebeer said that they
need not feel worried that he would do
them any harm when he said that he would
not. This letter was later made the basis
of a speech by Mr.. Hunsaker, in which he
outlined briefly something of the contention
of the defense that Casebeer had always
professed great animosity toward Williams
and his wife, Casebeer's own daughter. 1t
was hard, the letter said, for Casebeer to
have to plead for mercy from Williamses,

the prosecution claims that Case beer came
to this city from Santa Barbara, and on

OF Williams on lockwood avenue, as he de-
sired to compromise judgment for $4,000
