RAILROAD MEN
COME To TERMS
The Southern Pacific and
Rock Island Now in
Harmony.

CHICAGO, Dec. H.-All doubt regarding
the attitude of the Southern Pacific to-
ward the Rock Island on account of the
latter's Ell Paso extension was removed
to-day when traffic relations of the friend
lfest character were entered into by the
traffic men representing both companies.
To the Rock Island officials, at least, the
solution of the problem is highly gratify-
ing and to it may largely be ascribed the
emphatic declaration made by Chairman
Gable, who said:
we have no intention of building from
III Paso to the coast, and unless condi-
tions greatly change 1 see no reason for
our changing our position in the matter"
The future relations between the South
ern Pacific and the Rock Island were set
tied at conference held between J. G.
Stubbs, traffic director for the Hartman
lines, and j. M. Johnson, third vice-presi-
dent and freight traffic manager for the
Rock Island. These officials were not long
in arriving at an agreement which, put
simply, is to the effect that the Southern
Pacific will place the Rock Island on a
parity with the Southern Pacific's connec-
tions as soon as the Ell Paso extension is
opened for traffic.
This arrangement is of a reciprocal
character. The Rock Island will deliver
all its Southern California traffic to the
Southern Pacific at Ell Paso, and the
Southern Pacific agrees to treat the Rock
Island exactly the same as it treats it's
other connections. This can mean nothing
else than fair division of traffic in re-
turn.

Point Iona Theosophists
Are Defeated in
Court.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 17-Judge Shaw
to-day decided i'll favor of the father the
contest between John ]. Bohn, a news
paper publisher of Chicago, and his wife
for the custody of their two children. The
case came to the Los Angeles court from
San Diego on a writ of habeas corpus,
sworn out by Bohn, and has attracted
considerable interest owing to the fact
that Mrs. Bohn has been attended at ali
the sessions of the court by Madame Ting
ley, head of the Point Iona home of the
Universal Brotherhood, and other officials
in that branch of the Theosophical Soci-
ETY.. The taking of testimony occupied
four days.
Madame Tingley was on the witness
stand this forenoon and part of the after
noon and her testimony was all in favor
OF Mrs, Bohn. She told of the several
visits of Bohn to the Point Iona home
and asserted that his real purpose was to
kidnap his children. The witness recount
ed the details of her first meeting with the
Bohn family and told why she would not
admit the children to the school in her
institution Continuing. she said that She
believed that Bohn and Mrs Green, his
W1fe's mother, exercised a diabolical in
huence over the two Bohn children and
their mother She talked nervously and
was warned repeatedly by the court for
talking back and scolding the opposing
counsel.
When the testimony was concluded
Judge Shaw gave the custody of the two
boys to Bohn and required him to supply
q bond in the sum of $500 for their safe
presentation in Chicago by Thursday

SUPERIOR JUDGE
John E. Sexton Files
Charges With the
Governor.
Man Who Bunkoed Ex-Presi-

Again to the Fore.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. IA petition
was filed with Governor Gage to-day call
ing upon him to transmit to the Legisla-
ture IN regular or extra session charges
of forgery against Superior Judge M. P.
Bennett of El Dorado County. The petit
toner and accuser is John Z. Sexton of
Placerville. He asks for the impea chment
of the Magistrate on the ground, as al
legged, that about midnight of February
=, 1871, Judge Bennett caused to be re-
moved and altered a judgment of record
in the case OF Sexton al a time when Sex
ton was seeking release on writ or
habeas corpus on the alleged insufhclency
of the original certified judgment
Sexton was convicted, with S. n.
Briggs, OF eXtOrtiCn committed upon a
PlacerVille cigar dealer named c. Green
wald, and was sentenced TO two years i'm
prisonment. 1t was charged that he and
Briggs had induced the cigar dealer to
sell them cigars from a box which had
been reflled, contrary to the internal rev.
enUe laws. and then had shaken him
down for $50 on pain of informing the
Federal authorities. Sexton has fought
his case to the United States Supreme
Court, where it is now pending.
Sexton has had a checKered history and
his deeds have formed the subject of
many a special newspaper story. After
having served a term in San Quentin he
went 10 Washington during the second
Cleveland administration, and was not
there long before he had worked himself
into White House society and the conf
dence of the President himself, who
sought his advice relative to Pacific Coast
patronage. Cleveland was so taken with
him that he agreed to make him a fish
cries inspector in Alaska, and the appoint
ment was about to be made out when
Max Pepper Of San Francisco arrived on
the scene and revealed Sections record.
Sexton left Washington and returned to
san Francisco, where he was accused of
having passed worthless checks for large
sums on George Haas, the Market-street
rr y nd fraxr Doh
A. Friedrich. Governor Budd afterward
became interested in him and made him
a delegate to a Salt Lake mining conven-
til
Sexton makes a good impression by his
manner and is regarded as extremely
shrewd. He gives Governor Gage the
names of Sheriff Bosquit Deputy Sheriff
AouX, County Clerk Fisher. Constable
Davey and Attorney Fred Irwin of Pla-
cerville as witnesses in support of his ac-
cusatiOns against Judge Bennett.

MINERS CACHE
CHEATS DEATH
Starving Men Find a
Hidden Supply Of
Food.
Spend Seven Days in Wilder
ness Without a Morsel
to Eat.
Special plgpateh to The caII.

SEATTLE, Dec. n.-Martin O'Connor,
formerly of Seattle, and two comrades
have just reached Dawson after a nerve
racking experience in the Tanana coun-
try. For seven days the three men were
lost in the wilderness, and their only
food during that entire time was a few
mouthfuls Of dry flour, without even salt
to flavor it. When dying of starvation,
they CHANGED upon a supply of food cached
by some prospector, and were saved.
Eventually they reached Eagle and finally
Dawson.
O'Connor and his companions spent the
summer prospecting on Chenoa river, at
the head of the Tanana The burning Of
their cabin one day while they were at
work threw them into the predicaTnent of
having to suosist for week on small
bucket of flour, the only thing saved from
the flames.
The three set out for Eagle City over
the Tanana divide. After three days hard
travel they found they had lost the trail
For three more days they retraced their
steps, until they came to the point from
which they had started. They were al
most famished. The next morning they
started due east by their compass. They
were then on some creek whose name
they did not know, and they followed it
for four hours, and came to a cabin. They
searched this thoroughly for food, but did
not find morsel. OConnor's two COM
panions lay down, almost dead from star
vation. OCOnnor continued his search
about the place and was rewarded by
finding a cache near by. In it were canre1
fruits, beef extract and vegetables. He
summoned the others and they soon were
satisfying their hunger.
The party remained at the cache three
days and nights. eating and resting after
their extraordinary tolls and trials. They
then continued toward Eagle. After leav-
ing the cache they saw no one on the
stream. The creek for its entire length
was deserted, and O'Connor and his part
nerS do not know vet whose food it was
that saved their lives.
Leaving this creek the party came to
another, and ten hours later came upon
prospector in a tent. This man told them
he was on Slate Creek, three days travel
from Eagle. The party pushed on to Eagle
reaching that camp in three days.

ALTURAS, Dec. I7.-Any one drifting
into the Superior Court of Modoc County
these days might be at a loss to deter
mine whether murder trial or a brawl
were in progress. So bitter has the en-
nifty between prosecution and defense be-
come that there is an almost constant
exchange of personalities. Attorney Ra-
ker, whose repartee occasionally lacks ele-
ments of refinement, referred to Assist

curate, he declared that in his opinion the

dents during the examination of Domingo
Simas, a Portuguese rancher, who is
witness for the prosecution. Simas testl-
fed that he was in Lookout two days
while aged Calvin Hall and the four other
alleged thieves were in Jail. At that time
Justice of the Peace Myers told him that
he was afraid the prisoners would be
lynched Once, before answering a ques-
ton, Simas looked toward Post interro-
gatively. To this the defense entered an
objection. Lawyer Raker attempted TO
show that the witness had talked with
representatives of the prosecution as TO
the nature of his testimony, and to this
end put a series of confusing and mis-
leading questions. Judge Harrington fin
ally declared that Raker was misrepre-
senting matters. Raker attempted to talk.
You sit down." ordered Judge Harring
ton, "or shall send you to jail
&. Post questioned the veracity of Raker
on some point, and it was here that the
lawyer for the defense began drawing in
vidious comparisons
When some measure of calm had been
restored the examination of Simas was
continued. He said he had heard Isom
Fades say they ought to be hung. This
occurred in Morris store and Fades was
talking with Morris about the five men
then under arrest. Fades said they had
'(l0na enough TO be hung.
Robert Cartwright was recalled to tes-
tify regarding some minor point. After
Cartwright had been examined at some
length, Raker offered to prove that Cort-
wrights reputation for truth, honesty
and integrity was bad, and that he had
been impeached in a case at Lookout some
time ago. Raker then asked the witness
if it were not a fact that he had been i'm
peached? To this Cartwright replied that
"a long, hungry thing tried it, but he
failed, just like you will" The witness
referred to Attorney John Brown, an un-
Gle of the defendant.
Attorney Harris said that Cartwright
was old enough to have quit lying by
this time. Cartwright excitedly exclaimed
that were he out of the courtroom there
would be trouble between him and Harris.

Oliver Lippincott Will Make Trial
Trip to Test the Feasibility
of the Project

Los ANGELES, Dec. IA company
organized among the citizens of Flagstaff
has under consideration the establishment
of line of steam locomobiles to run be-
tween Flagstaff and Grand Canyon, a dis
tance Of seventy-twO miles. In order to
test the practicability of this scheme and
demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt
Its feasibility the company has arranged
with Oliver LippincOtt of this city to
make the trial trip on q. machine especial
ly adapted to the road and grades of the
country about Flagstaff.
This machine is to be a steam locomo-
bile, capable of burning either coal oil or
gasoline, and, with its trailer will weigh
zoo pounds. The trailer will carry 10 gal
Ions of water and fuel, and 100 pounds of
paraphernalia- The run from Flagstaff to
the Grand Canyon is to be a race against
time over roads which are by no means of
the best. Mr.. Lippincott expects TO make
the trip in three hours and a half w E
Chapman will accompany Mr.. Lippincott
Mr. Lippincott holds the present road
record between Los Angeles and Pomona
His best achievement, however, was that
OF last year while in the osemite Valley.
he entered the Yosemite, ran ninety-tWo
miles and climbed 940O feet in the actual
running time Of eight hours and fourteen
minutes
The trial trip probably will be made

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People From Trying
a Good Medicine.

Tafdmach troubles are so common and IN
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any
remedy claiming to be a radical, perma-
nent cure for dyspepsia and indigestion.
Many such pride themselves on their
acuteness in never being humbugged,
especially in medicines
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
ton rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and uni
versally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.
Now, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines, for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine. No secret is made of their
ingredients, although they are sold by all
druggists under protection of trade mark
but analysis shows them to contain the
natural digestive ferments, pure aseptic
pepsin, the digestive acids, Golden Seal.
bismuth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act power
fully on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan of digest
ing the food eaten thoroughly before it
has time to ferment, sour and cause the
mischief. This is the only secret of their
success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
cure indigestion and stomach troubles, be-
cause they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble is really in the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there Is
to it. Food not digested or half-digested
is poison, as it creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart loss of
iesh and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.

OREGON FARMERS PLAN
GREAT COYOTE HUNT
Hope to Drive Thousands of the Ma
rauders Into a Pen and
Kill Them.

TACOMA, Dec. 17-Farmers of walla
Walla and Umatilla counties, in Oregon,
are getting ready for the greatest coyote
hunt ever held in the Northwest. 1t will
start about Christmas time and last a
week. Coyotes have multiplied rapidly OF
late and are causing immense trouble to
sheep men and ranchers who keep small
stock and poultry. 1t is proposed to build
a pen at Echo, a small station on the
line of the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
tion Company, and then organize bands
of men to traverse the country in one
long lire and drive the prairie wolves to-
gether near this inclosure. With large
body of men the coyotes can be forced
into the pen and easily slaughtered.
The coyote drive has been familiar
sport during recent years, a number hav-
ing been held with varying results. Wal
la Walla will supply 100 men to join next
weeks hunt, Pendleton will send 100 and
smaller towns will be represented in pro-
portion. Some estimate that not less than
10000 coyotes can be rounded up and
killed.
