by no means loyal to the souths great

considered, In recent days and the buoy

plemented from this fountain of lower

At any rate little cue was given from that
end of the row while an additional 10000

nearly hundred thousand to continental

Aggressor.

A Coroners jury decided yesterday that
Walter Gilbert, who died in the Central

brother Lawrence. He told the jury that

or not there was side entrance to the
saloon. Gilbert returned at l o'clock III

coat on his arm Barry protested. Gilberr
resisted and the two engaged. in a fist
fight When they had fought their way to
the sidewalk Barry succeeded in planting
a strong right-hand blow on Gilberts S
nose. Gilbert fell on his face on the basalt
block pavement and the witness did not
modest him any further
Lawrence Barry, brother of the accused
testified thet he and John Rowan were
sitting in q room back of the bar when
Gilbert and an unknown man came in.
(Which one will We lick firSt?" asked
the unknown Of Gilbert.
Then the stranger and Lawrence Barry
engaged in fist fight, and Rowan went
outside to look for a policeman. What

R|CE'S MURDER
BEING PR0bED.
Prosecution Is Forging a
Chain Around
Buckley.
Edward Lahey, a New Wit
ness, Gives Evidence Of
Importance.

Inc preliminary examination OF Wllnam
Buckley, Thomas Moran, Charles Dom
nelly and Edward Duncan, charged with
the murder of George w. Rice at TWen-
ueth and Howard streets on the evening
OF october IL, was continued before Judge
Mogan yesterday afternoon. There are
eighteen more witnesses to be examined
Tor the prosecution and it will take long
time yet, as every witness is subjected TO
a long and severe crosS-exam1nation.
When the case was called Policeman
H1ow1 was recalled and asked rev. Tceifa gne
1olloWed him to the stand. Lycette testl-
NED that he was in the buggy with BroWn
when they pursued and captured Buck

Hospital and that Rice said when Buck,
Lycette was also present when Assistant
Warrant and Bond Clerk Burke and De
tectlVes Dinan and Bailey came to the
hospital about an hour later with Buck
know that Buckley was the man who shot
him., and his mind was then getting
clouded. He did not remember telling
Rice before he made his ante-mortem
statement that the doctors said ne was
going to die. He thought he made the
statement to the nurses. he was SUB
1ected to a long cross-examinat1on, but
his evidence in chief was not materially
shaken.
Edward Lahey, brass molder living on
Florida street, a new witness, was then
examined. He said he got off the car at
Nineteenth street and while walking
down to Shotwell street he saw two men
running from Shotwell down Nineteenth
street. They ran to Folsom street and
one went one way and the other the other
way. One had a light hat on:
Detective Bailey testified that he and
Detective Ryan arrested Moran at his
lodging house, 536 Third street. The ar
rest was made after RuckleV had made a.
statement in the City Prison that he was
not at the scene of the shooting and had
stated that Moran, Duncan and Donnelly
could prove it. Baileys examination was
not concluded when court adjourned. The
case was continued till next Wednesday

HOLY REDEEMER FAIR
COMES TO A CLOSE
Large Sum Realized and Will Be
Used Toward Completion Of
New Church

Out in Eureka Valley Father ]. P. Nc
Quaide has been holding a church fair in
aid of the Church of the Holy Redeemer
he is erecting for the Pensioners. Last
night was practically the closing night
of the fair and a very large crowd was
present. Bert Mahony, Republican
candidate for County Clerk, who is
warm friend of Father joe" as he is
familiarly known, was present and helped
to enliven matters in his efforts TO win a
Diogenes lamp. John e. Richards, a
prominent Young Mems Institute repre-
sentative, helped Mr.. Mahony and his
friends to all they needed. He was in COM
plete control of the wheel of fortune.
Mr.. Richards makes a most clever
"spiel,' but the public will not have an
ot..er opportunity to listen to his oratory
until the Mission Dolores parish holds a
fair. More men like Mr.. Richards would
help out church fairs in every way
& Father McQuaide said last night that he
was more than pleased with the result of
the fair that was inaugurated to assist
the building fund of his new church in the
new parish in Eureka Valley.
Father McQuaide was reared and edu-
Gated in this city and his friends are
legion. Consequently there has been a big
attendance throughout his fair.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings a
rummage sale will be held, which is being
conducted in the basement of the Church
of the Holy Redeemer, which is building
on Diamond street. Most valuable articles
will be auctioned off.

DUB0sE REFUSES
To MAKE ANSWER
Becomes Irritated at
Pillsbury's Many
Questions.
Word Comes That Stevens
and Wheeler Are
Displaced.

A SLOW, weary morning was passed in
Commissioner Heacock's room yesterday
morning during the examination of wit
neSSeS in the Nome contempt cases. Dud-
ley Dubose took the stand at the opening
of the proceedings for the conclusion of
the cross-examinatfon and the redirect
examination. He was followed by c. A.
S. Frost, who was taken in hand by the
amicus curiae until the examination ad-
journed.
Nothing of a startling or important na-
ture developed during the day. Dubo5e
was questioned on such matters as sug
gested a possible discrepancy between his
testimony and that of w. H. Hume. Frost
was cross-eXamined on his connection
with the Department of Justice at Wash
ington Each DAY the witness is becom-
ing more and more testy, and yesterday
had merry tilt, which ended by the wit
ness accusing Mr.. Pillsbury of imper-
t1nence and refusing to answer the queS
tions.
OF more Importance than yesterday s
proceedings is the advice received from
Vens as Commissioner and Recorder ami
+. K. Wheeler as Commissioner of Nome
precinct. Judge Wickersham sets forth
in an order that Stevens and Wheeler
shall make returns and file their final ac-
counts with the United States district
clerk within five days from the serving of
the order of the court. The offices are
also proclaimed not to be dual, and Judge
Thomas M. Reed is appointed to fill the
various duties performed by Stevens and
Wheeler. The Judges opinion shows that
Stevens was more than the poOh-bah OF
Nome In him four distinct offices lodged
and his salary was commensurate with
the general undertaking.

mittee, of which ]. n. O'Dell is chair
man. Arrangements having been made to
entertain about 800 people who were so
fortunate as to receive invitations, 1t was
found that the lodgeroom was not of
sufficient capacity to admit all, so it was
agreed that the entertainment should be
given in Sherman-Clay Hall, in the same
lodgeroom. The American flag and fes-
decorations.
The programme of entertainment was
made up of music, songs and specialties
by professional talent, with a few am
ateur numbers to fill in while profess
sionals were on their way from the
theaters. Among those who contributed
to the pleasure of the assembled many
were Robert Lloyd. Miss O'Brien, Charles
and Mrs. Reynolds, Andy Dadau, Harris
and Wether from the Orpheunl, John Gel
ger, Grazer and Trelease, and many
others, who kept the boards until after
midnight.
Luncheon consisted of sandwiches,
toothsome salads, excellent coffee, cakes
in variety and ice cream bricks, all served
by experienced walters. The officers of
the lodge were unsparing in their atter-
ton to the guests and by so doing created
an impression upon those who never be-
fore had attended ladies' night by the
lodge of the .'best people on earth"
