son disappeared from the woodchop-
pers' camp and was never heard of
again; in 1889 the same was true of
William Shields, and in 1892 Antoine
Lujar was sent to San Quentin Prison
for stabbing Marcus Pisa to death
It was in a hollow tree in this canyon
that recently Henry Hazen Abbott,
whose life has been recounted at length
in The Call. almost buried himself from
the sight of man for thirty years after
fleeing from Contra Costa County to
save his life.
The chief credit for the evidence dis
covered leading to Diers arrest belongs
to Bertha Stedman, the young daughter
of the overseer of the Shafter estate
who learned of a quarrel over money
matters occurring between the prisoner
and the missing man a day before he
disappeared. She also learned that Lor-
raine was last seen on lonely path
leading from the store kept by Enos to
the woodchoppers' cabin. He was on
his way home when last seen. Dier has
failed to account for his whereab bouts
at this time.
Late tonight DER sent for Sheriff
Taylor and while sticking to his story
that he is innocent of any crime him
self endeavored to accuse John Enos
by innuendo. He told the Sheriff that
Enos appeared last Sunday with the
key used by Lorraine and entered the
latters cabin.
How did Enos get this key if he
knows nothing of Lorraine's where
abouts?'' queried Dier. Several years
ago Enos and Frank Bernard, another
woodchopper, were brought before the
Grand Jury in connection with the dis
appearance of the cook, Johnson, but
nothing incriminating could be elected.
Lorraine's knife, which was manu-
factured out of a file with the an
nounced determinat ton of killing a man
known as French Charley" has been
found near the cabin. Developments
are coming so fast that Sheriff Taylor
has set man to watch the cabin with
instructions to permit nothing to be
touched. District Attorney McIsaac
secured the services of a San Fran
cisco detective tonight, and in COM
pany with the Sheriff the two will visit
the cabin tomorrow The authorities
fully believe they are on the track of
what will prove to be a premeditated
assassination which may afford a key
to the other dark mysteries of the can
Yon. The excitement tonight is in
tense over the possibility of others be-
ing implicated in this and the preced-
ing crimes, while lynch talk is already
being indulged in to an alarming ex-
tent.

When he did not appear the next day
Enos inquired Of Dier where Lorraine
was, and with a great show of agita-
ton the latter answered:
'Oh, he'll be back all right in due
time
AS the days passed ON and no sign of
Lorraine appeared the men began to
talk and make ugly remarks over Dier
and Lorraine having quarreIed a day
or two before his disappearance. Things
finally reached such pitch that Enos

teen chiefs and their followers, in
ffty-two boats, met on The
United States transport Badger
on May 20. They promised to
submit to the decision Of the Joint
commission.
The British gunboat Pheasant
and the Badger went to Malie to-
day to disarm the Mataafans,
who have 1000 rifles. The COM
mission will probably compen-
safe the natives for their arms.
Malietoa Tanu will then dis
arm his followers, and they will
withdraw to their ships.
The new civil government has
commenced operations. 1t has
been simplihed, and strong, eco
nomical measures have been
adopted. New elections for the
Municipal Council will be held,
E. B. S. Maxse, the British
Consul, will depart on furlough
on June y. He will go to San
Francisco and London. Herr
Rose, the German Consul, will
also leave soon. The three Con-
suls and Chief Justice Chambers
will probably be recalled.
The question of indemnity is
being considered. 1t is estimated
at 100000. The kingship is
still undecided. 1t may be decid-
ed to abolish the office and ap-
point both Mataafa and Tanu as
chiefs of districts.

into the facts we should find that the
chas:is :. snt was deserved and that the
man was really doing the publ, ser
vice. When the man hRppens to bear the
reputation of being somewhat of a bully,
our sympAthles with the small by are in
oresssd, yet even in that casa 1t does not
follow that ttey are being placed
where our reason would place them after
an examination of all the facts of the
case The sympathy OF the vast majority
Of the people who sids with the
Beers Is analogous to that besto wed
upon thu small boy. 1t is sympaihy
which arises instinctiyely because the
Beers appear, or did appear, TO be the
under dog in tie fight, and
is inten siaed by the fact that the
upper dog has had the bad and
aisagresabis habit of growing at AMI
crowding small dogs, and treating
them wlthal as II they had no right TO
existence. II this war In South Africa

doubt this feeling would have been so

been lot of fine phrases about the right
of men to determine their own form Of
government and to govern themselves In
their own way, with some caustio remarks
on land grabbing and the thirst for uni

American people to believe that self gov

that q big natl on may take control OF q

while there is an Instructive sentiment OF

check great deal by a feeling that IL

TINT we could judge of the merits we
should find that England has quite as
good case for demanding and insisting
upon the unconditional surrender Of the
Boers as Ne have for demanding the I'M
conditional surrender of the 6ilipinos,

we must admit that the under dog does
not necessarily have the exclusive or the
fret claim upon our sympathy, and that
when the merits of the case are examined
thu stronger power may be the one clearly
entitled to our good wishes.
There has been good deal written
about the merits of this contest, though
probably comparatively little OF 1t has
