was neither fred on nor pursued. No
one dared shoot for fear OF killing the

Cured. They had scarcely left the
bungalow when man named Reed
arrived there. He was an American
and what the English call "cute
Yankee" He had gone out to India
from New York after tiger skins. In
stead Of taking rifles and cartridges
he had taken beartraps. Landing in
Calcutta with no less than two dozen
monster steel traps. he was making
his way up TO the tiger country 20 do

Reed had no sooner heard OF the
tragedy OF the night before than he
baited his trap FOR his first tiger. He
traced the beast into the jungle for
200 yards and then set one Of his
traps on a path and baited II by tying
a kid to a stake Just In the rear OF II.
This was done early In the morning
but with no hope that the tiger would
leave his lair until late In the evening.
He did leave 1t. however. much earlier

him in the eyes from a distance OF
about forty feet. Both stood still and

take tho risk OF firing. The tiger was

In order TO remove a case in which de-
PENDANTS claim TO be non-residents to the
United States court the amount involved
must be at least $1,000 on the record in
the case Judge Blodgett thought that
amount was not involved basing his
opinion chiefly on the fact that the de-

GENERAL
STRIKE AT
FRISCO.
Labor Troubles In the Golden
Gate City Have Reached
ths Acute Stage.

San Francisco, July 30--The labor trou-
bles in this city reached their elimination
late last night when the City Front feder-
alton ordered general strike on the
docks of San Francisco. Oakland, Mission
Rock and Port Costa TO 20 into effect this
morning
The resolution to strike received the
unanimous endorsement of very delega-
ton TO the federation. The meeting of
the federation was a long one and there
was much heated argument. but when
the resolution came 20 vote every dele
gate present voted In favor of striking
The following unions were represented,
comprising all the workers on tho water
front.
Sailors union of the Pacific. four local
unions OF longshoremon, marine fremen,
brotherhood of teamsters, ship and steam
boat Joiners, porters. packers, warehouse
men, ship clerks, pile drivers and bridge
builders. hoisting engineers, steam and
hot water filters and coal teamsters.
This action, which is direct outcome
of the lockout of the teamsters. will have
for it's immediate effect the cessation OF
all labor In and around the greatdocks
of the city about San Francisco bay.
The Sand Transfers union and the
Oakland Transfers union also order
strike. This win make a total os over
5000 union worknen who have stopped
work since the middle OF May.
Unless the proprietors and managers
are able 10 secure sufficient non-union
help TO load and man their vessels, the
strike will practically mean the closing OF
the port and the suspension OF business
in the Wholesale and manufacturing Sec
tions OF San Francisco and Oakland.
Members OF the Employers association
state that they have fully considered the
cost OF the strike and are prepared TO
meet it.
The steamship managers will hold a
meeting today 90 consider their course.
The Industrial Cancellation committee
OF the Municipal league made strenu-
Gus effort yesterday TO avert the threat
ened strike but without avail.
The CITY Front federation has issued
n statement in which n reviews tho situ-
alton and states that the strike was not
ordered until All honorable means OF ef-
fectlng a settlement had been tried I'm

NO new TRIAL.
Petition Of James & Abbott
Denied by Appellate Court.

The plaintiffs petition for a new trial
in the case of James and Abbott vs.. Will
liam Gilbsne e. Brother has been denied
by the appellate division of the supreme
court in a rescript handed down today.
The plaintiffs brought suit to recover
sl1S217 for lumber sold and delivered TO
the defendants who filed their plea In
set off amounting to s524s2 for carriage.
storage, packing freight, demurrage, etc.
The defendants admitted they owed the
plaintiffs $3.50 for 2Ol9 feet of soft-hard
pine at s2s per thousand feet, but the
plaintiffs claim that il should be $64.oo at
sS2 per thousand and the plaintiffs admit
that they owe the defendants sl29.15 for
demurrage and freight.
The jury that heard the testimony
gave the plaintiffs verdict for $40 and a
new trial was asked on the grounds that
the verdict was against the evidence and
for errors of the presiding justice in his
rulings and refusals TO rule, to which ex-
ceptions were taken.
