Then Fires a Shot Into His Own Body
Causing Almost Instant Death.
The Tragedy the Result Of the Wo-
man, Who Has Separated From
Frey, Refusing to Again Renew
Their, Marital Relations.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-Gustave
Frey, gambler, tonight visited the
home of his wife, who had separated
from him. in the rear of 446 Natorna
street, and demanded that she live with
him again. Upon her refusal he dragged
her into the street and shot her through
the head with an old-fashioned Colts
navy revolver inflicting a wound which
proved fatal before she could be re-
moved to a hospital.
Frey then turned the 45-caliber pis-
tol on himself firing shot which
caused his almost instant death.
The murderer was A years old and
his wife was ten years younger. They
leave a -year-old girl named Nida.
After the couple separated, about a
year and half ago, Mrs. Frey earned
her living by working in cannery. Her
husband frequently threatened to kill
her if she would not become reconciled
Last week he said he proposed to muir
der their child and ON Sunday Mrs.
Frey applied for a warrant for his ar
rest, which, however, was not issued
by the police authorities. 1t is pre-
sumed that this attempt to cause his
arrest, coupled with his anger at her
repeated refusals to take him back to
her home, were the direct causes of to-
nights tragedy.

legged Conspiracy.

of the Nelson will case to-day the
court decided to admit evidence show
ing an alleged conspiracy to procure
the execution Of codicil.
The deposition of DR.. Calvin, who
attended Nelson, wrote the will from
the dictation of Attorney Hill and was

testified that Nelson did not speak dur
ing the whole time the will was being
drawn and executed, but assented to
its contents by pressing the doctors 3
hand with his thumb. The witness,
after signing Nelson's name to the will
put a pen into his hand and made
his mark. A few minutes prior to the
making of the will an undertaken ar
rived, and asked the witness if he
thought Nelson would survive.
The, defense objected to the introduc-
ton of this statement
The dispositions of Mrs. johnson and
Mrs. Gallagher agreed that Nelson
gave no instructions regarding the will,
and neither spoke nor moved while it
was being written and executed. The
legatees are Ella McVey, Alice Davis,
Emily Murphy, Lizzie Smith, Julia

IDAHO STRIKERS.
Denied That Those Under Arrest
Are Being Ill-Treated,

WASHINGTON, June 13-Some DAYS
ago charges We're made that the pris-
oners Of the Idaho mining strikes had
been ill-treated by the military author
ltias. This being brought to the at
tention of the President he directed an
investigation be made. General Mer-
riam has telegraphed the department
the receipt of his inquiry. He says
When he left Wardner on May 25th he
reported the sanitary condition of the
prison as beyond complaint The build
ing was heated by stoves and there was
large courtyard for exercise The
prisoners were comfortably housed and
better fed than the troops. One man
was seriously i'll and he was taken to a
hospital in the town.
The latest sanitary report received by
General Merriam from Captain Leav-
ell, dated June 10th, showed ten sick,
one seriously, out of 335 One death
had occurred.
As to the prisoners being denied coun-
sci, General Merriam says he has no
INFORMATION on that point, but suggests
that Inquiry in that direction should
be made of the authorities.

The suggestions were so Subtly nebu-
lous that you could hardly be sure they
meant anything at all; the subject
seemed to be in the air rather than Iii

possible to speak language so evasive,

nouns. He accepted my remarks,
though with depreciation of their blunt
ness; SO that at least 1 had the salts

him. He cannot have thought 1 should
take his side, or that 1 could be of any
service to him If 1 did; but that ap-

MANILA, June 14.-S:15 a. m.-Be-
fore dark last night the Fourteenth In

same time the Ninth and Twelfth

their left flank at point where a body
of marines with Maxim guns landed
and fired upon the enemy's left rear
with a demoraizing effect. The Twen-

soon as it could be mended.
Sixty-five dead Filipinos were found
in the trenches, most of them shot
through the head. Several 5-inch
smooth bore guns were captured with
ammunition marked United States

After crossing the river the troops
were withdrawn with the exception of
the Ninth and Twenty first, the regi-
ments being left with four guns to
guard the bridge. AS they were being
formed into companies the insurgents
commenced to fire volleys from the
bamboo jungle, 300 yards away. The
regiments formed into line rapidly, and
coolly, though under fire, rushed to the
woods, driving the enemy mile away,
the F1lipinos disputing every foot.
The Fourteenth encamped across the
river, the men caring for many Of the
Filipino wounded. Eight prisoners
were captured The majority Of the
Filipinos wore red uniforms.

Copper Miners at Iron Mountain
Quit Work.

REDDING, June 13. The copper
miners at Iron Mountain, to the num-
ber of 500, went on strike to-day. The
mines are owned by the Mountain
Copper Company, having smelters at
the adjacent town of Keswick Last
week the company increased the wages
at the smelteTs 10 per cent, and the
miners at Iron Mountain petitioned for
a similar increase. This request was
not granted, so nearly all the miners
quit work to-day.
Matters look so serious at the mine
that this evening Superintendent Lewis
T. Wright came to Redding and asked
the Sheriff to send deputies to protect
the company's property. Sheriff Beh-
rens and five deputies went to Iron
Mountain at once, and other deputies
will be sworn in to meet the trouble
which it is feared is inevitable.

MEETS A RAJAH.
Curious in Appearance and Hypo-
critical in Conversation.


At the door of the stucco palace a
dishevelled sentry presented arms with
even more than the usual fervor. Then
understood-and perceived coming
slowly, slowly, and quite noiselessly to-
ward me down a corridor small hu-
man figure. 1t wore a white turban,
tabard of lilac silk lined with salmon
satin a long muslin scarf round the
neck, snow-white linen drawers, tight,
yet shapeless, and white cotton socks.
1t came up, always quite noiselessly,
appearing to be moved rather than to
move; I saw a brown face, melting
black eyes. a long haired, fine-haired,
oiled, black beard
The figure took my hand in hand
that seemed made of souffiet, and with
the same mysterious, unmoving motion
led me across high-roofed hall, witt
chandeliers like forest-trees and the
paint peeling off the skirting board, into
verandah that overlooked reeling
chasm of torrent bed and a lowering
.heave of mountain beyond. He sat me
in a chair beside him, the interpreter
opposite, then turned and fixed his eyes
on me. If the movements were in
human the eyes were unearthly. Eyes
weary beyond satiety-eyes utterly pas
sionless and purposeless, as if their
owner neither desired anything nor in
tended anything, had neither never had
interest in the world or had quite fin
ished with it. Looking into those black
pools of sheer emptiness, you wondered
whether he were newborn baby or a
million years old; you almost wondered
If he were alive or dead.
That was the Rajah. And then, in a
voice that seemed to fall among US from
nowhere. he told the fat-cheeked, gold
spectacled babu to tell me he trusted
was in the enjoyment of good health!
Awhile the conversation f1oated at
this level, and began to think that this
Nirvana -eyed Rajah was-if one may
so speak OF princes-a fool. But pre-
sently the babu's circumambient per-
iods began to coil themselves round a
definite subject, and the Rajah was in
structing me on the political question
of the hour. 1t does not matter TO 4znesa
The interest TO me lay ia casnpariny9

knew to be true, I'm black and white
