FATAL SHOOTING
FOLLOWS TAUNT
Capital City Man Re

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 2-Because he
disliked being called a ''rubberneck'' r.
H. Clegg, a blacksmith, 60 years old, shot
and it is believed fatally wounded Happy
Tom Burren, a saloon-keeper, at 1880
o'clock tonight. Burrell and his wife
live in a lodging house at 7271a K street,
where Clegg also has room. 1t is claimed
by Mrs. Burrell that Clegg is in the habit
of leaving his door partly open and keep
ing watch of the movements of the Bur
rells and others in the house. Burrell
came I'D the stairs from the street this
evening and seeing Clegg's door partly
open called in to him that he was evil
IDENTIFY 'rubbernecking' again and that he
''had his lamps going" meaning that
Clegg was watchful Of the doings, of his
fellow roomers.
An angry alteration followed and it is
asserted that Burrell struck at Clegg with
q cane. Clegg says he had pistol near
by and reaching for it proceeded to de-
fend himself from the assault of Burrell,
a younger and stronger man. He shot
Burrell in the abdomen and as the latter
turned shot again, the bullet lodging in
the back. Clegg then walked downstairs
and surrendered himself to an officer.
Mrs. Burrell declares that her husband
did not strike Clegg with the cane. but
that she heard the blow land on the door
casing. At the police station Clegg ex-
hibited confusion on the forehead which
he asserted was inflicted by Burrell with
the cane.
Burrell probably will die. He came to
Sacramento from Placerville to engage in
the saloon business.

MODOC LAWYER
YIELDS A KNIFE
Woman Accuses Judge
Harris Of Attempt
on Her Life.
Counsel for Lynchers Attacks
Leading Witness for
the Prosecution.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ALTURAS, Dec. 21.-Judge G. F. Har-
ris, one of the attorneys representing
James W. Brown, the alleged leader Of
the Modoc mob that lynched old Calvin
Hall, his three sons and Daniel Yantis
last May, was arrested this afternoon en-
a charge that he committed an assault
with a deadly weapon. The complainant
is Mary Lorenzo, one of the leading wit
nesses for the prosecution. She was
standing in Laird's store when Judge
Harris came in and, 1t is alleged, made an
insulting remark. The woman resented
it by slapping his face. He repeated the
remark and she slapped him again.
At this point, it is claimed, Judge Har-
ris drew knife, but he was held by
Judge Cherry and others while the
woman was taken from the store. Judge
Harris, it is said, was intoxicated.
The cross-examination of Agnes Wilson,
the half-breed girl, occupied the entire
day in the trial of Brown. Most Of the
morning was taken up. in argument by
counsel, which at times became so heated
that the jury was excused from the room.
The, cross-examination only served to
bring out more fully the details of the
cruelty practiced by Brown and his COM
panions, who formed the party that ar
rested the Halls. Agnes declared that
Brow2 slapped her mother and that they
were subjected to indecent treatment by
the Deputy Constable and his men, who
searched the persons of the witness and
her mother on the excuse that they might
have had stolen articles about them.
Brown, the child said. appropriated all
the guns there were in the house-four in

TACOMA, Dec. N.-L c. DiIlman, who
returned yesterday from New York, says
that there Is absolutely no doubt Of the
early construction of a railroad 140 miles
long into the Copper River districts from
Valdes. Dillman displays q contract, call
ing for the construction Of the road, the
sale of twenty-eight claims Of the famous
Bonanza group for $1,200, 900 and the erec-
ton of a smelter. The approximate cost
of the latter will be $500, ,o0o
Dillman has been in New York for sew
eral months effecting the deal involving
millions Of dollars. He represented own
ing miners and made the sale to Charles
G.. Weir, a New York mining expert. The
latter is said to represent an English syn.
dicate. Dillman said:
II have secured the sum asked by the
owners for the claims. Nearly all own
ers have accepted the proposition The
conclusion of the transfer will come when
these men deliver their property to Mr..
Weir. Mr.. Weir, on behalf Of his clients,
has contracted to build the railroad and
the smelter. The only possible hitch
could be refusal OF the proprietors who
have not yet accepted to dispose Of their
claims.

CASE Of CUBA
PROMISES STRIFE
Lawmakers I Will Be Busy
With Reciprocity
Measures.
Changes May Be Made in
the Philippine Tariff
Schedule.
Special Dispatch to The Call

CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Dec. N.-Cuban
reciprocity will be taken UP by the Ways
and Means Committee Immediately after
the reassembling of Congress. 1t Is likely
to come before the House soon after ac-
tion on the canal bill and 1t Will be the
big fight Of the session.
II wonder If we have made mistake
on this Philippine tariff bill. Thus spoke
a prominent member Of the Ways and
Means Committee to-day. The recon-
mendation Of the Philippine Commission
for reduction of 80 per cent IN the Ding
ley rates on leading products or the ISL
ands has opened the eyes OF several Re
publican leaders and 1t Is safe to say
that had this advice come before the bill
came out Of committee It would not nave
passed the House in its present form.
The President consulted Senators Lodge
and Platt Of Connecticut to-day on the
question Of Cuban tariffs and soon after
ward Henry T. Oxnard, as head or the
beet sugar organization. called at the
White House. The allied sugar forces
have concluded that the administration is
determined to force reduction OF the
tariff on Cuban sugar and Oxnard called
to propose a compromise Plan' Wnlch pro
vides for a bounty to Cuban planters In
order to put their sugar business on a
paying basis.
This scheme contemplates exacting full
Dingley rates and then paying enough
back to encourage the industry In the ISL
and and preventing bankruptcy. Oxnaro
thinks this will help the Cubans ana do
no injury to home producers. He said
after the conference to-day that the Pres
ident would give it attention.
Although a majority Of the Republican
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee are still opposed to making conces-
sions to Cuba on sugar and tobacco, the
matter is to be forced upon their atten-
ton at once by the Republican minority
on the committee and members of the
Cabinet. The Democrats have not yet
shown their hand. AS a matter of fact
they are cutting small figure In Con-
gress and only this week let slip an op-
portunity to lay up future trouble for the
Republican majority by mismanagement
and inaction in the Philippine tariff. A
Republican House leader who favors the
relief of Cuba said to-day:
This question has reached a stage
where it is something more than a mat
ter of protecting local interests. It has
a great moral side: it has to do with the
salvation or ruination Of Cuba: 1t means
carrying out or neglecting our solemn OBJ
legations. We are bound to do something
more than mere pacification of the islands
whether it is expressly stated in the bond
or not. I realize that we are against a
very hard combination"

FUNERAL PARTY
MEETS DISASTER
Horse Driven by a Benz
cia Young Lady
Runs Away.

VALLEJO, Dec 21-Two deaths may
result from an accident to a funeral party
at st. Vincent's Cemetery yesterday. The
party, which came from Benicia, was
leaving the cemetery when horse driven
by Miss Fisher of Benicia took fright and
started off at mad gallop. The run
away came into collision with a wagon
in which were John and Antoine Borges,
farmers we'll known in Vallejo. Both
buggy and wagon were wrecked, and the
Borges brothers and Miss Fisher were
thrown to the ground.
AS Antoine Borges fell Miss Fishers
horse stepped upon the unfortunate man,
striking him on the breast, face and back
of the head. The latter injury caused
concussion Of the brain. Miss Fisher was
seriously injured, and there is slight hope
for her recovery.
