HERO OF THE
WAR ARRESTED
II. B. Ford Recognized
as a Fugitive.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SPOKANE. Oct. 13.-Back from the
Philippines, where he made an enviable
record for bravery, came H. B. Ford of
Company B. Idaho Volunteers. With his
company he was royalty welcomed by the
people of his own State. Then Ford came
to Spokane. He was on the streets but
a few hours before he was recognized by
Sheriff Tucker of Yakima County as a
fugitive from justice.
Six years ago Tucker had some trouble
with Ford, who was then a mere boy
and Ford pulled a revolver and fired five
shots at Tucker. None took effect. Ford
was arrested, tried, convicted and SEN
fenced to ten years imprisonment. He
escaped while his case was being ap-
pealed. He assumed the name of Ford
his right name being William Feamster
For six years he lodged the officers OF
the law. Now he is glad he was recap
tured, for Sheriff Tucker and Judge
Graves, who tried and sentenced Ford
have labored on his behalf and the Su-
perior Court has suspended sentence per-
manently. Ford's Valor as a soldier Eas
relieved him from punishment for his
youthful crime. He again bears the name
OF Feamster and liberty is his.

PREMIER scHREINER's PLEA.

CAPE TOWN, Oct. 12.-Premier Schrei-
ner, on moving the adjournment of the
Cape House of Assembly, made a nota-
bic speech, in the course of which he al
luded to the position in which the Cape
Government was placed. He said he
would do the duty imposed upon him
without favor or fear - the duty of all
to save the colony, so far as possible,
from being involved in the vortex of war
In his circulars to the military COM
manders he had already given his reasons
for hoping that the people would remain
quiet, and he would appeal to the mem
bers Of the Legislature to possess their
souls in patience, however dark the days
might be, and wait with quietness and
confidence. To the press representing both
sides he would appeal for pity, sympathy
generosity and charity; and he wished
to make q similar appeal to the churches
and to the natives Of the colony. The time
had not yet arrived for him 10 say what
part he had played in trying to estab-
lish peace in South Africa. That would
come later.
Let this colony" said the Premier in
conclusion, "be a kind haven during the
storm which has burst upon South Af-
rica, and let us ali pray for the re-estab-
lishment of honorable peace throughout
our beloved country"

Body Of a Chinaman Found in the
Bay.

SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 13.-The body of a
Chinese was found floating IN the bay
near the railway wharf at Sausalito to-
day, by Christian Ock, a longshoreman
Coroner Eden was notified and brought
the remains to this city. A cursory exam

resulted from a bullet wound under the

with two Of his countrymen and identified
the dead man as his partner, Lee Doc
Teong, who he claimed was killed a
week ago last Tuesday by the jibboom of
a fishing smack knocking him into the
waters of the bay at Point San PEDRO.
When questioned about the bullet wound
and absence of water in the lungs the
Chinese became suspiciously silent. The
inquest will occur tomorrow.
About 200 Chinese live at Point San Pc
dro and their fishing camp there has
gained a very hard name. Many men
have disappeared from there and have
never been heard of again, while brawls
and cutting affairs are of common occur

ing for them in San Francisco, and once
ensconced in the camp it is almost impos-

BoER ATTACK EXPECTED.

CAPE TOWN. Oct. u. evening delayed
in transmission).-A dispatch from Mafe-
king dated 3:22 O'Clock this afternoon says
1t is officially stated that the enemy Will
probably approach this afternoon or to-

high ground southeast of the town. It is
likely the enemy Will shell the town for
some hours before attempting to take 1t

They want to attend to their crops, and
many are deserting. Meat is scarce, and
dysentery is prevalent. If the garrison
does nothing ii is probable that the Beers
will retire, giving the garrison in the
meantime opportunities for hitting them
hard. The garrison must seize and utilize
such opportunities.
Information has been received from an
other source that the Beers have actually
crossed the frontier some miles south of
the town. This information is believed to
be correct though it lacks confirmation.

Incurred the Wrath of officials
at DiennA

NEW YORK, Oct. H.-A special to the
Times from Paris says: A great sensa-
tion has been caused here by the murder
of an Englishman named Derrick by a
French detective at Dieppe. Derrick was
so shockingly injured that an unusual sur
gical operation had to be performed upon
him, with the result that gangrene inter-
vened and he died.
Derrick was set upon at the same time
as his master, a wealthy Englishman
named Captain O'Neill Murphy, VINO had
incurred the wrath of Dieppe Casino Off
GERS because he had caused the director
of Petits ChevauX at Calais to be con-
demned for swindlng.
Captain Murphy is one Of the most re-
spected English residents Of Paris; he is
a brother of D. F. Murphy of San Fran
cisco In spite of his passport and ere
dentias he was hauled off to jail, stripped
and measured and finally sentenced to
eight days Imprisonment for protecting
his own house.
The British Consul is attempting to
bring the murderers of Derrick to Justice
English feeling is intensely excited over
the incident, which is likely to have i'm

ACCUSE RAIsIN GROWERS.
Packers Claim That the Association
Is a Trust

FRESNO, Oct. 13.-Judge Risley dis
charged the receiver appointed in the
suit of the California Raisin Growers AS
sociatien against o. NJ Thompson and
Markarian Bros, non-associate packers
based on his violation of a contract with
the association to sell forty tons of his
crop through a pool The packers set UP
the plea that the association is a trust
restrictive of competition and contrary to
public policy.
In dfscharging the receiver the court
specifically announced that the legality of
the association was not passed upon, tes-
timony on motion showing that Thomp-
sons contract for the crop was not his,
but his wife's. Markarians counsel de-
clare that if further proceedings are had
against the packers they will press this
point. The associations attorney says ii
will proceed against Thompson for dam
ages. The case was in the nature of a
test and interests every raisin grape
grower in the State.
