THRONG ALTURAS
Trial of James Brown, the
Alleged Lyncher,
Opens To-Day.

ALTURAS, Nov. 24.-Once more Alturas
is at fever heat over the trial of James
Brown, who was acting Constable on the
night of the Lookout lynching, and was
one of the guards who had charge of
Calvin Hall, his two sons and Daniel
Yantis. The trial will begin tomorrow
morning. One hundred talesmen have
been summoned and eighty witnesses sub
penaed. Brown will be prosecuted by
District Attorney Bonner, Attorney Post
and Attorney Sturtevant, the latter two
representing the State, while the defense
will be represented by Spencer & Raker
and Judge Harris. The attorneys have
all arrived, and jurors and witnesses are
coming in by dozens. An exciting trial is
looked for.
James Browns wife and little girl are
here, and will be present during the trial.
1t is conjecture whether or not jury
can be obtained from the venire of 100
and in all probability another venire will
have to be issued by the court.
Since the town of AlturaS has been in

District Is Believed to Contain Great

FOLSOM. Nov. A.-The remarkable
strike of 500 to the pan at the Gray and
Wing mine last Thursday was almost
doubled today One hundred and thirty
five dollars was taken from one pan The
streak is seven feet wide and literally
scanned with gold. Seemingly this
will prove to be the richest gravel de-
posit that has ever been discovered in
California.
Mining activity in this vicinity is still
unabated and local companies are being
incorporated to prospect for the channel
near the outskirts of Folsom. Experts
assert that the channel runs through the
Natoma grant, which adjoins the town.
1t is believed by experts that the Blue
Ravine mines, which have yielded about
81 000,0 900 in the last three years, do not
'aouch the main channel, but are on the
east vein. Between these two mines
there is high point of bed rock and 1t
is believed that the main channel goes
through the Gray and Wing mines on the
west.
The discovery Of the ancient channel
has given an impetus to mining industry
in this district Ground is being bonded
by San Francisco mining companies and
operations will begin Immediately.

SWORD AVENGES
BOXER MASSACRE
Captain Chou and Thir-
teen Others Are Put
to Death.
Special Dispatch to The call.

TACOMA Nov. 24.-Mail advices from
the Orient contain an account written by
a native for the Shanghai Daily News of
the recent execution in Hangchow of Cap
tain Chou and thirteen others who partic-
ipated in the Boxer massacre in Chuchou
in September Of last year. Captain Chou
commanded Chuchou garrison on that &C.
casion and was the highest military Off
cial executed in reparation of Boxer out
RACES.
Chou was executed at daybreak. His
son and eldest grandson endeavored to see
him on that morning, but were re-
fused He was brought out on foot,
clothed in black. In appearance he was
short and stout, white haired and growing
bald, being 80 years old. Officials present
offered him wine, which he declined. Ac-
cording to the rule for criminals of rank,
he knelt and worshiped toward the
north to thank the Emperor for his will.
Even a decree of death issued by the En-
percr is to be received with Thanksgiving.
Chou was then thrust into an old sedan
chair and carried to the execution ground
outside the Tsingpo gate. Here three
bamboo sheds had been erected, the CEN
tral one containing the imperial decree of
decapitation. Chou sighed deeply on pass
ing this tablet, and, on seating himself on
the ground, said to the eXecutioner:
Finish it up well"
With two strokes of sword his head

cial Judge passed by as the execution
took place, that he might personally re-
port IL to the throne.
Chou's son gave Sc to have his fathers
head sewed upon the body and the corpse
was then placed in coffin by the family.
Thirteen common prisoners were put to
death several days later, with little cere-
mony. Their relatives were permitted to
take leave of them. Three of them told
their families to live better lives in the
future and avoid criminal acts
One executioner beheaded the entire
thirteen within six minutes. He was
clothed with only a towel wrapped about
his loins and cloth over his head. He
grasped the sword in both hands, striking
downward with all his might
The beheading of these men has strick-
en- terror to the Boxer leaders about
Hangchou, teaching them that they must
not again stir up trouble. The effect has
also been to greatly enhance the influence

signs of a struggle, it being very plain to
see that they made a desperate attempt
at retracing their steps to better air, but
they had advanced too far into the dead

1t is said by members of the rescuing

were removed in wagons to Pocahontas,
where they will be prepared for burial.
The men met death on the West Virginia
side, and Mine Inspector Paul of Wese
Virginia, who arrived on the scene to-
day, gives it as his opinion that the men
were overcome by white damp.
Secretary-TreaSurer Charles Thorne OF
Philadelphia, who was here when the
men started into the mIne last Friday, en-
deavored to dissuade them from entering,
telling them ne regarded the venture a
very perilous one.
The fire is still burning in the Baby
mine, and the mine officials seem at a
loss to understand how it will be finally
extinguished. Mine experts say there is
great danger of explosions by flooding the
mine.

STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK.
Heavy Storm Raging on the Harlem
River Retards Their Labors.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-There was a rush
of business at the Harlem River yards of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railway to-day, for at 10 o'clock in the
morning all the men who went on strike
last Tuesday went back to work.
The work was somewhat interrupted by
the high tide in the Harlem River, this
being caused by the big easterly storm
which was raging. The tide covered the
approaches to the car floats SO that the
work of shipping cars down the river
could not be done. The average rise of
the Harlem from low to high water is
about five feet, but to-day the tide rose
about three feet above the average.
= At noon the tide receded somewhat and
four floats containing sixteen men each
were landed at the yards. a, These floats
were loaded with perishable freight.
The first train to leave the yards under
the direction of the old men left at
o'clock and the men lined UP all along the
track cheering.
The headquarters of the strikers was
deserted all day, giving evidence that the
strike is over for good.

During the shah's last stay in Paris
he paid a visit to the Gobelins, where
he showed a most appreciative in
terest in all that he saw. Before a re-
markably fine Persian carpet, givent to
the museum by NJ. Goupil, he re-

for himself the symbolical illusions
thickly embroidered upon it, which,
however, he declined to translate into
French. A few days since the mys-
terry was cleared up. There arrived
in Paris the manager of the imperial
carpet weaving factory in Teheran,
who stated that he had been commits
stoned by the shah to study the meth
DDS of manufacture in use at the Gobe-
Inns. To him the director applied for
a solution of the legends of the carpet
which had so captivated the shah.
