TWO EDITORS SHOT.
TRAGEDY AT
DENVER.
w. W. Anderson, a Lawyer, Sioors Rom
Ills and Tammen, Owners of the Post
Boniils May Die

Denver Jan. 15.-The Rocky Noun
tain News says: Frederick G.. Bonfils
and Harry ii. Tammen, proprietors of
the Post, were shot Saturday by At
torney w. W. Anderson. The affair
occurred about 11:45 o'clock in the
private office of the paper. Mr. Bon
fills condition is serious. No fear Is
expressed for Mr.. Tammen unless COM
plications should ensue. Attorney An
dersSn was placed under arrest, but
was released. Bond was fixed at
$4,000.
The shooting was the result of an al
tercation regarding the conduct of Mr..
Anderson in connection with the
Packer case. Attorney Anderson was
accused of questionable transactions
and blows followed. Then came four
shots. The attorney walked from the
room. Tammen and Bonfils were ly-
ing On the floor and Polly Pry, the 9th
er occupant of the apartment, was try
ing tn help the injured men.
TaMmen was shot In the shoulder
and through the left wrist. Bontils
received one bullet in the left breast.
1t tore around n rib and stopped in the
middle Of the left side, whence it was
removed by the doctor. Another ball
entered TIE left side of the neck and
cut downward and back ward, lodging
in position whence it could be fol-
lowed by probing only ut great risk. 1t
is supposed to be in the back. just be-
hind the left lung. Whether it will be
cut for or not depends entirely upon
symptoms of trouble arising from it's
location.
1t Is asserted that Anderson pro-
cured $25 from Packer, 1.-The man
eater" In the penitentiary at Canon
City. representing himself to be a
stakeholder and director of the Post.
For this he was taken to task by the
proprietors of the paper.
Warden Hoyt of the state pentten-
tary said TO a News reporter last
night that Anderson mad long talk
with Packer at the penitentiary last
Wednesday and obtained $25 from
Packer toward payment for services in
endeavoring to get him released from
Imprisonment. The warden was in
and out of the Office during the conver-
sation between the two men, but heard
little of it.
Yesterday Packer told Warden Hoyt
that Anderson distinctly claimed to be
stakeholder of the Post and that he
thinks Anderson claimed also to be n
director of the Post company.
The stories of the shooting as told
by the persons in the room differ wide
ly.
Anderson claimed that he was beaten
by Tammen and Bontils and then shot
them. 1t is certain that he was struck
in the face several times. Tammen
states that Anderson was the ag-
gresSor.

Ortiz, Mexico. Jan. 15.-Small bands
Of Yaqui Indians have become very
annoying TO the Mexican troops during
the last few days, and frequent skir-
mishes have occurred. A few nights
ngo 100 Indians boldly rode into the
corral and stampcded over 200 horses
belonging To the troops. The Indians
nfterward captured the animals for
their own use. 1t ls almost impossible
TO get supplies TO the troops, owing to
,-e faqui's guerrilla tactics. General
Torres men are living on the country,
and there nrc times when they must
suffer severely for lack of food. Amer
leans who have come from the Nnqui
country say the troops have made no
hendway toward putting down the re-

INVENT A SUBMARINE LIGHT.
Device Attracts the Atte tion of the Rus

bmI NlVul SAttucnc
New London, Conn. Jan. 15.-Cap-
tain w. Baron Fersen, naval attache
of the Russian government, stationed
at Washington, has been in this city
for two days investigating the subma-
rine arc light which was invented dur
ing the Spanish war by Il. G. Hall,
Jr, and Q. +. Burdick, two Yale un-
dergraduates.
Capt. Fersen. who is an expert in
submarine work, was so pleased with
The invention that he told them that
he would recommend that the Russian
government purchase enough of these
lights to equip the Russian navy, and
ordered one of the lights, which will
be shipped to Russia at once. The
test. 1t is claimed, proves that Hall and
Burdick by their invention have prov
en- that air is not necessary to an are
light This is something that has al
ways been considered absolutely cs-
sential. BY the use of this light,
wrecks can be lighted at depth of
200 feet below the surface of the sea,
so that a photograph can be made of
sunken ship. This is the limit depth
at which divers can work.

FRENCH FIGHT WITH CHINESE.
boundary Dispute Results In n Lively Lit
tie War with the OrIcntaIs.

Tacoma. Wash, Jan. l5.-The steam
er Elm Branch brings news from
Shanghai that French warships have
taken possession of Kwong Chau Wan
Bay, where boundary dispute has
been pending for several months.
The French commenced operations
by seizing two Chinese gunboats, de-
strOying their guns and ammunition
and taking the officers aboard the
French ship as prisoners. The warships
then shelled twenty Chinese villages,
compelling the Chinese troops 10 move
back.
A four-hour battle took place mt Veg
nloo. in which the French lost four
killed and twcnty-eight wounded. The
Chinese loss WAS heavier. After the
Chinese reireated, the French forces
We're divided into four expeditions,
which pillaged and burned many vii
lagos on their march back to the sea
shore. Several mandarins surrendered
to prevent the burning of their towns.
They are held ms hostages to prevent
retaliation by the natives.

A New Sea Port.

There is a lusty young city grow
ing up down in Texas which is attract
ing widespread attention. 1t is La
Porte, located at the head of Calves
ton Bay. 1t is being made the great
seaport of the Gulf of Mexico, the
meeting place of rail and water ways
for the vast commerce of the west.
The saving to western shippers via
this export outlet will run into mil
lions annually. The city has the most
magnificent natural port on the south
ern coast Of the United States and one
Of the best in the world. The
U. S. government is completing
a deep water channel through the bay
to the gulf. which will soon bring the
largest ocean liners to La Porte docks

Insurance for Negroes.

Colored business men of Chicago are
about to incorporate an insurance
company exclusively for colored
people. The reason offered for the
drawing of this particular kind of
color line is that the insurance COM
panies of the country, it is declared,
persist in holding out discriminative
rates to those colored people who wish
to partake of the benefits accruing
from life insurance.

There was nothing in the papers to indi-
cate that he WAS polygamlst, or that

Water Makes 10000 Horse Power,
Which Is Sent to Los Angeles.
Today the most notable transmission
plant in existence is that of the South
ern California power company, de-
signed to carry 10000 horse power at
$4,000 volts over SO miles of line from
the power house to the town Of Los
Angeles. The power house is stu
ated at the base of the San Bernardino
mountains, on the Santa Ana river,
and the power water intake is at the
junction of Bear creek and the Santa
Ana river, about seven miles below the
famous Bear creek dam. The water in
this river, like all waters in southern
California, is owned by water COM
panies, and as soon as it reaches the
valley it is led off in irrigation bitches
in different directions. Under these
conditions any power company using
the water must not interrupt the flow,
and the regulation of the Pelton water
wheels which are used must be by de-
fecting noZzles The water is carried
about two and a half miles, so per cent
of which is through tunnels, and the
rest of the canal is open masonry and
wooden fumes. The elevation at the
intake is 8, 1922 feet above sea level, and
that of the power house 2,670 feet, CIV

AUTOMOBILES IN DESERT.

Belgian NobIeman Makes Tour Prov
ing Its Possibilities.
It seems likely that trade in the
desert of North Africa is going to
undergo a startling revolution. The
long caravan of camels, with their
tinkling bells and white-robed drivers.
may shortly become nothing but a
poetic memory and live only in verse.
1t is the autocar which is to effect this
revolution, and the way has already
peen prepared by the adventurous
tour of two Belgian noblemen, Baron
Pierre and Baron Joseph de Crawhez.
The tour lasted three months and ex-
tended over vast tracts of northern
Africa. Once they came to a river,
but drove boldly into the flood. The
bottom was very rough, and the car
bumped from side to side, but after s
most perilous passage, being nearly
swept away more than once, they
reached the other side in safety. Their
proudest achievement, however, was
the crossing of ridge of the Atlas
through vast snowdrifts,
at the height of $500 feet above the
sea level. The great success of this
expedition should open the field of a
great deal of kindred enterprise, and
possibly in the future camels will be
found only in geological gardens

WILL AWAIT CONGRESS,

President Not to Send a Message in Re-
gard to Hawaiian Needs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Cul-
1om was at the White House during the
day and had conference with the pres
ident, in regard to the status Of legisla-
ton before congress affecting the Ha-
waiian islands. The president has had
under consideration the expediency of
asking congress to pass some temporary
legislation which would enable the local
government to provide for natives whose
houses had been burned to stop the
spread Of the bubonic plague, and to
succor those in Distress Senator Cul-
lom, however, expressed the belief that
congress would very soon pass bill pro:
viding for a permanent government for
the islands, and that this measure would
be ample to meet the existing condi-
tions. The president therefore will
await the action of congress on the
pending bill. :: 4
