NO STRIKE ON

were interviewed to-day and without eX-
ceptfon they declared that no such prop
osition was under consideration. The
men could not account for the rumors.
However, there is some dissatisfaction
among the men, especially in the me-
chanical department, over the fact that

satisfaction among some of the men, but
the idea of a strike is laughed at. There
have been some agitators and one or two

committee to headquarters and do not

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALEM, Or, Oct. A.-Joseph A. Will
lard proved himself a good marksman to-
day when he killed T. D. Perry at Perry s
farm near Liberty, four miles south of
Salem. The killing was the result Of a

three of them in vital places. One en-
tered Perry's heart, another punctured
both lungs, the third passed through sew
eral intestines and the fourth lodged in
the left arm.
Willard rented Perry's farm and con-
troversy had existed between them as TO
the time the lease expired, Perry going
so far as to threaten to kill Willard. Both
men met at the farm to-day and after a
few words Perry reached into his hip
pocket as If about to draw a gun Will
lard fired without hesitation, and as a
result Perry now lies on a slab at the
morgue.

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 24-Marshall
Dethridge of Oakesdale to-day shot in
the back and probably fatally wounded
horsethief he was pursuing. As the
robber fell he grabbed a bottle of poison
from an inner pocket and swallowed a
portion of the contents before he could
be restrained. The officer hurried the
man to the nearest physician. Emetics
were given and other means taken to pre-
vent fatal effects from the poison. The
bullet wound, however, is expected to
prove fatal, although the robber is still
alive.
The Marshal was acting under tele-
phoned instructions from Colfax that a
thief had stolen a team and buggy there.
The man was discovered at the outskirts
of town. He refused to surrender and
attempted to escape when the Marshal
fired. The bullet penetrated the back
near the, spine and low down. The wound
ed man refuses to give his name. He de-
stroyed all identity, even eating the
leaves of a book in his pocket that might
identify him. In the buggy there was
found a couple of saddles and brides, and
two sets of harness evidently stolen. The
Sheriff is expected here this evening and

town was flooded, the water being in
many places kneedeep.
The storm had It's origin where many
storms have been born-in the Riukia
Islands. The depression declared itself
first on the 4th inst, but showed dispo-
sition to pass into the Pacific, and hopes
were entertained that Japan might thus
escape without any serious visitation. On
the 9Th, however, the center began to
move in a northeasterly direction and it
was then evident that these islands would
be invaded. That night the center reached
Oshima, and on the seventh the storm
swept into the southeast corner of Kiu-
shu. Thenceforth it coasted along the
east of Kiushu and Shikoku, the center
probably following maritime course
and only the skirt of the storm being felt
on shore But the curve of the main
island brought it nearer the path of the
depression's center and when the ty-
phoon, after crossing from Shikoku,

hood of Hamada, the winds were exceed
ingly violent All along the eastern coast

killed, thirty-six severely injured and $50
slightly injured.
The wave piled up such a quantity of
sand at the mouth OF the Numa River
that the river was damned and over
flowed its banks, producing an inundation
of large dimensions. Numbers of houses
were swept away and all that is to be
seen of those remaining is the roofs
In Toxic and vicinity the damage was
extensive and a number of lives were lost.
Along the coast hundreds of houses were

PURCHASED DEATH
WITH THEIR FARES
Two Passengers on the Schooner
Hera From Cape Nome Perish
OF Starvation.

SEATTLE, Oct. 24.-After a voyage of
twenty eight days from Cape Nome, dur
ing which time two men died of starva-
ton and others were half crazed by want
Of food and water, the schooner Hera ar
rived in port this morning with nearly 200
passengers on board News of the
wretched plight of the Hera's passengers
was brought in on Sunday night by the
steamer Lakme. The revenue cutter
Grant and the tug Sea Lion Immediately
started after the schooner. They sue
ceeded in finding her yesterday
about fifty miles off Cape Flattery.
The two deaths reported were those of
j. S. Ryan, who came on board a well
man, but through bad food and lack of
attention gradually grew worse until he
died on October 16 The other case is
much the same. George Lamby, through
want of nOurishment and confinement in
ill-ventiated quarters, was attacked by
typhoid fever and died on October 81.
While he was sick he had absolutely no
medical attention Both men were buried

From the statement of other passengers
1t is learned that the agent of the ship at

Nome guaranteed them plenty of good
provisions on the way down. 1hey were
charged $50 for their passage. When they
were a few days out the meat, sugar and
butter ran out. Their meals consisted OF
salt horse and a small supply of canned
mutton. There was a little dried fruit on
board, but only enough to supply the
table three times with dried peaches and
twice with dried prunes. From that time
on, for nearly twenty-four days, their
food consisted of -four and coffee There
was plenty of flour, but the water was
short. Four days ago the last of the un-
palatable salt horse was consumed. Had
it not been for transforms, which fell for
a few days, they would have been with
out water also.
When the Hera anchored out in the
stream the majority of the men were so
weak that they could not carry their gold
dust ashore without assistance. Several
passengers were crazed from their terrible
experiences, and had to be carried ashore
and taken care of. Even taking their
terrible voyage into consideration, the
passengers unite in declaring Nome TO be
the greatest camp on earth and many Of
them will return in the spring.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Amer
leans is certainly increasing, and while
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
life, 1t is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion.
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended sto-
mach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpitation
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making 1t thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of food
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, Pheasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores. and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments in pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sstent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
at mealtime will cure any form of sto-
mach trouble except cancer of the sto-
mach

ALLEGES FRAUD AND
SUES FOR PROPERTY
Cristanto Castro Charged With Hav-
ing Deceived His Sister to
Gain Her Land

SAN JOSE, Oct. PA suit involving
about 600 worth of property at Noun
tain View, this county, was filed in the
Superior Court here to-day by Mrs. An
gela Castro, an aged Spanish woman.
The defendants are Cristanto Castro, the
plaintiffs brother, and A. " Fatjo, who
holds, in escrow, deeds to the property
made by Mrs. Castro to her brother. The
property in question consists of 1S5 acres
of farming land near Mountain View
valued at over 100000 and nearly 100 lots
in town, worth about $1,000
Mrs Castro alleges In her complaint
that on November 16. 1885, Cristanto Cas-
tro induced her to deed the property to
him as she was feeble and physically
weak, being 81 years of age. She states
the deeds were merely made in trust
so that he could handle her business,
but she alleges that her brother has
placed the deeds on record, taken pos
session of the lands, usurped the rents
and profits and threatens to sell the lands
She seeks to have the deeds Cancelled
and set aside.
Similar action has been begun by Maria
Josefa Castro de Davidson, Vicente Soto
Angela Castro and Mariana Soto against
the same defendant, Cristanto Castro
These plaintiffs are heirs of Mercedes
Castro. a sister of Mrs Angela Castro
and they allege that their uncle also de-
prived them of about the same amount
of property.
