preface the story by saying that up to the

OF tho western plains, had been confined to
hearing them howl most dismally and blood
curdingy at about o'clock IN the morn

speak of, three of the party-a man from
California, a man from Minnesota and the
writer, who halls from the "effete east"
were exploring an old unused coal NINE in
deed only a hole in the ground where the
railroad had been prospecting for coal. The
California man had Springfield rife and
belt fairly bristling with cartridges, the man
from Minnesota was equipped with double
barreled shotgun and the other fellow
Rad q six shooter in his hip pocket AS we
crept along the low gallery-so low in places
that we were almost forced to go on all fours
suddenly there was terrible howl which
echoed throughout the narrow spaces till il
sounded like a whole legion of demons
and something white and furry, with gleam-
ing eyes and red Jaws, dashed by us out
| toward the entrance to the mine. The
mighty hunters, guns, revolvers and all
tumbled over one another In headlong rout.

result of causing the armor plating-pardon
THE stiff corduroy trousers OF the deponent
| to be bent outward like the armor on the

We sped a very small coyote, probably
much more frightened than we-scudding
off over the plain. Then We redeemed our
sporsmanshp. Three firearms rang out
simutaneously-thoug what was accom-

Meanwhile the Peck swung around

The two vessels were made fast and
the transfer of passengers from the
Northam 10 the Peck began. This was
done expeditiously and in less than
half an hour the 125 passengers of the
Northann had found quarters on the
Peck. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the Peck was but slightly
damaged.
The Northam, however, was in seri-
Gus straghts and after a conference 1t
was decided TO beach the steamer. The
Peck, her officers having satisfied them
selves that the Northam would be able
TO reach shore, drew away and pro-
ceeded on her trip to New York.
Captain Aaron NJ Hardy Of the
Northam, then headed his vessel due
north and under a full head of steam
rushed toward the Connecticut shore.
Her steam-pumps were actively AT
work, but the water continued TO gain.
Three quarters or an nOur later the
steamer reached land where she was
sent violently onto the sandy beach on
Greens Farms. Captain Hardy, despite
the fog managed to get well his bear

luck brought the vessel aground at a
most favorable point. She had FORUM

There was a very large attendance at
the Palmer murder trial today and this
was probably due to the fact that IL
was known the defendant would be the
chief witness of the day. AS a witness
Palmer was painstaking in giving his
testimony, and his answers showed
discretion and good judgment. The on
ly way he is apt 10 damage his case is
by being too bright. He answered one
attorney general put to him, in way
that showed he possessed much Keen
ness and dlscernment. One OF these
questions was led up to by remark
by Palmer about billiard playing. Aft
er asking about the defendants ability
as a player Mr.. Tanner continued very
quickly: Did you make any fancy shots
tnat afternoon" Palmer had said be-
fore that he cd not remember any
thing about playing billiards at that
time. Palmer replied as quick as a
flash: You've got me; don't remem-
ber."
The friends of Palmer who were call
ed as witnesses by the state testified
that Palmer played intelligent billiards
that afternoon, and one said he made
some good shots. Palmer stuck TO the
story he told on his direct examination
today. He told of remembering three
attacks in the nature OF epileptfc fits.
and he described his drinking habits
fully. When he described the relations
between his wife and himself just pre-
vious to the tragedy he shed some
tears. This weakness only lasted few
moments, and IL was very evident the
tears were signs of genuine sorrow.

Attorney General Tanner said he did

Palmer was asked about his drink

PLAGUE STRICKEN CITY.
The Disease Is Raging With frightful Vlrlsnos Al
San Ming.

Vancouver, B. c.. June s.-Oriental
advices by steamer Empress of Japan
says Frghtful stories of the plague
comes from San Ming. A Hong konk
paper says:
The city of San Ming might correctly
be named "the city of death" The
plague is raging with special virulence
and carrying off its victims in large
numbers. Shops and dwelling houses
are closed and Their fnhaDftHnts haVu
fled carrying the Infection with them
Superstition has proved some queer
means to stop the plague. In one
street there was erected three mat
sheds in which were seated many idols,
which are implored to exert their pow
ers to stem the tide of death. Over
every door are hung branches of cactus
and other thorny shrubs, also pieces
of fine netting and bag of small cookie
shells. 1t is believed that the malig-
nant devils cannot well avoid all these
obstacles and enter the house.
