SHANAHAN WILL THUNDER. He Proposes to Hay Mcguire and His

The "middle-of-the-road'' Populists who repudiated James Gallagher Mcguire and fusion at Sacramento will open their campaign tonight in Metropolitan Hall T. w. H. Shanahan, 'the tall sycamore" of Shasta, who heads the Populist ticket for Governor, will be the principal speak CT. A large crowd is expected, inasmuch as Shanahan says that he will throw some light on the manipulations of the fusionists at Sacramento. He will also pay attention to the fusionist can didate. Mcguire, and his single tax ideas
 MT. Shanahan in his quaint way re- marks that he will play tag with Mcguire and that the pinto candidate will be It all the time. Incidentally he will tell how "Maguire is attempting, as a Demo- crat, to ride his own jack, the Silver Re publican mule and the Populist horse at the same time. And that too, without being a rough rider or much of yaquero
 The tall orator twill also refer, with some warmth, to the manner in which a certain coterie of job chasers in San Francisco packed Populist State con- yention in Sacramento and by violating every canon of political decency and par ty fairness and by methods only known to political thugs forced this candidate upon the convention, single tax and all, thus driving the Populist, upon principle, from his own home.
 Mir Shanahan will also endeavor to tear up the Republican party and scatter the shreds from Shasta to San Diego.

REVENGEFUL INDIANS ARE
 NOW UNDER SUSPICION.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

IDAHO SPRINGS. Colo, Sept. 29.- Forest fires burning on the west side of the divide are beyond control. and people. are said to be fleeing for their lives. How many, If any, have perished cannot be known, as there is no way of getting direct information at this time.
 A light breeze gives the mighty sea of fire a new impetus,- and it goes stead fly onward, burning everything before livestock or property.
 Cattle are known to be perishing, and bear and deer and other wild animals are running to the east side of the di- vide. The damage will be tremendous The timber losses amount to more than any mere money consideration. These forests cover the headwaters of mount ain streams, where the snows are re- tained for many months. From such sources the streams have been carrying a volume of water sufficient to irrigate most of the lands of the State west of the divide, but with the disappearance of the timber the flow of the streams will be greatly lessened.
 There seems to be a settled opinion among the ranchers that the forest fires were started by Ute Indians with mali cious intent. They say the forcible election of the Indians and their return to the reservation more than year ago. because of their slaughter.of game, made them bitter against the whites. They are now playing even,' the set tiers think, and at the same time driv- ing some of the game into Utah, where they can hunt without being molested by game wardens.
 Henry Grom, one oi the ranchers living at Toponas, Egeria Park, arrived here to-day from the burning country. He said:
 "The Gore range Is on fire for more than 100 miles. The fires have been burning there for some time, and for the past few weeks have been getting worse. Fires are also seen in Grand County, near Kremmling. The ranch CTS are fighting the flames, and when I left were experiencing great loss in all kinds of property"
 The fires are reported to cover most of the northwestern part of the State, and to extend through the counties of Routt, Rio Blanco, Grand, Larimer, Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin and Summit. interest of that section.

Barrow and AL mena are surrounded, and the latter has telephoned here for help, stating that the town is already on fire.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 29.-A critical point was reached in the Jarman-Rea slan- der suit to-day, and for a time 1t looked as though Judge Kittredge would sus- tain the defendants demurrer filed to the amended complaint introduced by Delmas on Wednesday. In such an event the suit would have been at an end and Rea cleared of the charge of maliciously slandering Jarman.
 The entire day was given up to ar gument. Dozens of law books were piled on the tables in front of the at torneys and scores of citations were made by counsel on both sides to sup port their statements. The jury was excused for the day, and in spite of the assurance that there would be no sensational features during the day, the crowd remained and listened atten- lively to all that was said:
 Attorney Morehouse finished his ar gument in support of the demurrer shortly before noon. Judge Kittredge then stated that the preponderance of law and the weight of the cases cited were in favor of the demurrer and in timated he would have to sustain it.. This surprised and startled the spec tators, majority of whom sympathize with Jarman.
 The court asked Delmas if he had any further argument to offer why the demurrer should not be sustained. Del mas said he had and would begin his argument at the opening of court in the afternoon. He talked all afternoon and made a strong and eloquent argu- ment He will finish in the morning.
 The demurrer in question sets forth that Rea's utterances about Jarman are not actionable and slanderous per SC, and that the amended complaint Is defective in that no specific damage is alleged.
 The sustaining of this demurrer rnaanS dismissal of the suit

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 29.-Gov- ernor Tanner was called upon by tele- phone this afternoon by Sheriff Colburn of Pana. The Sheriff said that he had no further control of the striking min CTS; that he feared there would be an outbreak within a short time, and that he had exhausted all his resources. He asked that State troops be sent there.
 Governor Tanner immediately or dered Captain Craig of Battery G, Galesburg, to go with his men to Pana at once, and Colonel John B. Hamilton of Elgin was also ordered to start with two of the best equipped companies of his Sons of Veterans.
 Governor Tanner ordered Captain Craig to camp within the city limits and protect the life and property of the citizens. but under no circumstances should they aid miners or mine owners in the operating of the mines with for eign labor, to which the Governor Is much opposed.
 PANA, H., Sept. 29.-Intense excite ment prevailed here to-day as a result of last nights street riot between the imported negro miners and the union men. The principal streets were filled with miners and citizens armed to the teeth. The negro taken into custody last night, who attempted to take Po- liceman Smiths life by an attack with knife, and whose arrest started the riot, failed to appear in court to-day for trial. Mine Operator George V. Penwell, who gave bail for the negro, also failed to appear. Warrants were Issued to-day for all the negroes con- cerned in the riot.
 How many were wounded and how severely cannot be learned. No one is permitted to enter the negro stockades, and the operators refuse to give out any information.
 H. E. Bishop, bystander, is the only white citizen wounded. The negroes have not shown up on the streets to- day, and 1t Is thought the operators will keep them within the stockades until the excitement subsidies.
 A second encounter between whites and blacks occurred at the mines after the first battle near Penwell stockade, but the firing was scattered.
