EDITOR BIRD CLUBBED
BY TWO MEXICANS
Lively ARRAYS at Nogales Followed
Articles Concerning Customs
Officials

NOGALES. Ariz., June 25-An assault
was made this morning upon Colonel AL
len T. Bird, editor of the Oasis, and the
doughty editor was severely beaten with
club welded by two men. The fight
grew out of the publication of various
articles concerning alleged corruption in
the Collector of Customs office at No
gales, Ariz. The assault was made by
two MeXicans by the name of Ullman.
They are both considered "bandidos," or
bandits, and Colonel Bird would undoubt-
edly have been killed had not citizens
rushed to his assistance.
A warrant was sworn out by District
Attorney Harlow and placed in the hands
of a deputy sheriff from Crittenden, as
II was alleged that the warrant would
not be served by the Sheriff or his depu-
ties in this town. The Crittenden deputy
authorized w. j. n. McCurdy, an attor-
ney, to assist him in making the arrest,
and turned one of the prisoners over to
McCurdy. The prisoner desired to go to
his room to procure some articles before
going to Jail. Attorney McCurdy allowed
him to do 50, but Immediately upon ar
revolver and declared that he would not
go to jail. McCurdy thereupon drew his
revolver and shouted Hands up." The
prisoner dropped his pistol, and Collector
Chenoweth who had been following i'm
mediately rushed in and attempted to
grab the attorney, who was acting as a
"posse comitatus," but Chenoweth was
also stood off by McCurdy, and the pris-
oner was taken before a magistrate.
Both prisoners were bound over to ap-
pear under $1,000 bonds. Collector Cheno-

WOULD NOT RIDE
WITH N0N-UNI0N CREWS
Passengers Leave Cars in Cleveland.
Lines All Running and No More
Trouble Expected.

CLEVELAND. June 25.-Only one out
break Of violence attended the resumption
Of traffic on all the lines of the big Con-
solidated Street Railway this morning.
There was an objection in some parts of
the city to the retention of the non-union
men who were kept by the company. A
party of twenty-five men assembled near
the Brooklyn bridge, just south of the
city, and whenever a car came along with
a non-union crew the passengers were
asked TO disembark and wait for another
manned by union crew. In most cases
the passengers did as requested. Finally
a fon-unIon conductor undertook to argue
with the crowd, and he was promptly
struck on the head. with a club and he
and the motorman driven away. The mob
refused to permit the car TO move until
union crew came along, and pushed it to
othe barns.
AS a rule the old men were glad the
strike was settled, though there was some
grumbling because the non-union men
were kept 1t is predicted that all the
non-union men will be glad to leave the
city within thirty days, though the COM
pany imposed as one of the conditions of
the agreement for the settlement of the
trouble that all the new men should be
treated with consideration by the old en-
ployes.

CHARGES EMBEZZLEMENT
AGAINST HIS BROTHER
Wealthy Stock Raiser of Fresno
County Files a Sensational
COMPLAINT.

FRESNO, June 25.-In a complaint filed
early this morning In Justice ST. Johns
court Pile Iriberry, a wealthy stock
raiser, charged his brother, Pedro Iri-
berry, with embezzlement. The com
plant was filed after consultation with
the District Attorney and a warrant was
Immediately issued for Pedro Iriberry's
arrest. This afternoon Constable Pules-
ton served the warrant and placed the
prisoner in jail.
The amount which Iriberry is accused
of having embezzled from his brother
was s1275. The complaint sets forth tnat
a check for that amount was entrusted to
Pedro Iriberry last April by his brother
for safe keeping. 1t is charged the de-
fendant, instead of holding the check In
trust, had it cashed and appropriated the
money to his own use. Only few days
ago Pile Iriberry learned of this. He
then demanded that the money be return
ed, and up to the time Of his arrest Pedro
endeavored to raise the amount.
The brothers are well known throughout
the county. Pile Iriberry is the owner of
several large bands of sheep and controls
hundreds of acres of valuable real estate
on the West Side. His brother is not so
wealthy.

a Great Age.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS, June 25.-The old Indian
woman known as Gregoria and supposed
10 be the oldest Indian in this part of the
State is dead after having lived more
than six score years. The exact age OF
the old woman is not known, and even
she was not aware what age she had at

quite angered and would reply that she
did not know, neither did she care, philo-
sophically explaining that if she did know
she would worry and would die sooner.
Some of the oldest inhabitants claim
that Gregoria was nearly $50 years Of
age. From the records kept by the Cath
oiic priests and from other data it is
learned that the woman was at least 1}2

mission of San Antonio was a spot at
which hundreds of people congregated TO
celebrate a certain anniversary, old

DUNHAM'S BONES NOT
ON MOUNT HAMILTON
Murderer Appeared ar a Farmhouse
Days After His Crime Was
Committed

SALINAS. June 26.-The claim repeat
edly made that James c. Durham. the
Campbells murderer, had perished in the
Mount Hamilton hills, is secuted by Mrs.
Jennie Bushnell, a well-known resident
of the Paraiso Springs country. Mrs.
Bushnell recently spent few days in
Salinas and made the following facts
known: She was personally acquainted
with Durham. Three or four days after
the commission of his crime he appeared
at her mountain home, said that he was
out on hunting expedition and asked for
and was given a meal and supply of
food.
The Bushnells live in the most isolated
portion of Monterey County and in a
sparsely settled section Of. the Santa Lu-
cia hills. They receive their mail at ir-
regular. intervals. 1t was due to this fact
that Dunham was not reported to the
authorities, as the papers containing ac
counts of the murder of the McGlincy
family had not at that time reached the
Bushnell home-in fact was not received
until many weeks afterward.
After remaining with the Bushnells dur
ing the greater portion of the day Dun
ham left headed for the south.
A number of years ago Dunham lived in
that section of Monterey County and was
thoroughly familiar with the topography
of that portion of the county's most
rugged mountain range

THE SEA SERPENT
IS IN ON TIM {
A Monster Seen Off the
Coast of MusCongus.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, June 25.-A special from Mus
congus, Maine, says that the great "pogy"
industry in the entire New England
coaost has been stopped by a giant sea
serpent, which carries away the schools
of menhaden.
For several weeks the four scout
steamers of the pogy feet-the Wal
ter Adams. Captain Bert Macomber; the
A M Hathaway, Captain Dan Mason;
the Alaska, Captain Martin Leman, and
the L. Brightman. Captain Sam Murray
have been hunting the whole length of the
New England coast for the menhaden
but in vain. They have not been able to
find a single pogy.
They did find the cause of this state Of
things. however. They found the little
Canadian fishing smack Elizabeth NJ. and
her skipper, Zeke Tarbottom, and all of
his crew stated with the greatest insist
ence that they actually saw the serpent in
broad daylight and at short range.
There was not drop Of liquor on
board.
AS near as they could estimate the
monster was more than ten fathoms long
and its body was about as big around as a
keg Of nails. Its tail was tapering and the
captain said every once in while 1t would
lash the water into foam for twenty
feet around. He said the head was queer
looking. 1t was not like a snakes head
and as near as they could make out it
looked more like horse than anything
else.
It's body was looped up here and there
he said, like the corkline of a seine, and
it kept Its head moving most of the time.
Sometimes 1t would stick it's head up into
the air four or five feet and look round
and then it would souse it under and wig
gle along for a few yards. 1t moved very
easy like, he said, and some of the young
fellows in the crew was all on fire to row
out In the dingy and see what it was
like, but he would not let them.

BARELY SAVED FROM
BLEEDING TO DEATH
Frank Powers the Victim of Myste.
rious Cutting ARRAY at
Stockton

STOCKTON, June 25.-At an early hour
this morning the police found a man ly-
ing at the corner of Main and Ell Dorado,
streets bleeding to death from an ugly
wound in the neck. He was identified
as Frank Powers, a guest of the Occf-
dental Hotel. The man was located by
a trail of blood which the police followed
around three blocks before finding him.
An air of mystery surrounds the affair.
1t is believed the cutting took place near
the hotel, as it was there the bloody
trail began. The man must have dropped
exhausted from loss of blood He was
taken to the Receiving Hospital and the
wound sewed up just in time to save his
life. The iugular vein was missed by
only fraction of an inch. All the man
would say was "Gibson did it, and then
he would refuse to say anything more or
tell what the trouble arose over.
The police arrested William Gibson a
man who works with Powers in the ship
yard, but he claims he can prove an alibi.
Nothing was found on him connecting
him with the affair, and he was in bed
when the police arrived. They hurried
him to the hospital to get Powers to make
an identification. as it was thought the
injured man might expire. Powers posi-
lively identified him as the man who did
the cutting, but refused to say what
trouble, if any, caused it. The Injured
man probably will recover. The police
are making an effort to unravel the mys-
terry.

that she was either deceived or coerced
into asking Mckenzie to give employ

GOEBEL'S STRONG HAND
BUT ONE SLIGHT BREAK IN THE
SToNE-GOEBEL COMBINE.
The Excitement Is Intense and the
Chances Are a Dark Horse
Will Win Out in
the End.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOUISVILLE, June 25.-Up to late
hour tonight there is no sign of an agree
ment between any two of the Democratic
candidates for Governor. and it seems
likely that the first ballot taken when
the convention meets tomorrow morn
ing will result Just about as did the
eleventh Saturday night. Candidates and
their managers have been on the go all
day out of one conference into another,
but so far to no purpose. The 1892 dele
gates in the convention are divided so
evenly that there is not a difference OF
thirty votes in the strength of the tnree
candidates. Stone. Gobel and Hardin. But
of these Goebel is the strongest because
of the solidity of his support. He controls
his following absolutely and can vote
them for himself or throw them to either
of his opponents at will. Neither Stone
nor Hardin can do this. and for that rea-
son neither Is in a position to make ad-
Vantageous terms.
There has been a break in the Stone
Goebel combination since balloting be-
gan. caused primarily by the action Of
Goebels managers in voting the seventy
votes of Louisville solidly for the Kenton
County leader on the first ballot The
Stone people say their understanding was
that the vote was to be divided equally
between Stone and Goebel. but the lat
ter, it is said, produced a written agree
ment covering the combination of the two
forces up to q temporary organization,
but containing no mention of the Louis
Vile delegation. Chagrined as the Stone
people are at the failure of the comblnI-
tion promptly to effect the nomination CT
their candidate, it is believed they can in
a spirit of revenge bring about the NOM
ination of Hardin.
They threatened to try this when Goe5el
showed such surprising strength on the
first ballot, and went so far as to start
ness checkmated 1t. On the other hand.
the Hardin people cannot throw their
strength solidly to Stone. for they are di-
Vided in the matter of a second choice,
and, as was the case yesterday, many
would go to Goebel in case of a break.
a noteworthy feature of the contest is
the Hardin campaign. Coming into the

every point in the temporary organiza-
ton and weakened by adverse decisions,

scores of seats. the Hardin managers,
with Consummate cleverness, jumped into

These two fell into the trap and flew at
each others throat with the result that
when the convention adjourned last
night Goebel and Stone had split and Har-
din on the last ballot stood in recorded
votes.
Meanwhile the three-cornered fight
grows warmer, and the delegates, who
have spent nearly a week trying to nom-
mate a State ticket. may yet have to look
to find a leader upon whom they can
