gether with an Igorrote harvester

tives to an isolated spot they murdered
them and added TO the horrible crime
the rapine of women. The motive for
the deed appeared to have been re-
venge on the part of one of the lnur-
derers because of the fact that the
victims had damned stream which
diverted irrigating waters from the
lands of the murderers. All five of
the natives were sentenced to be
hanged.

Lumber Company's immense yard of
cottonwood luber, containing some
four million feet of seasoned lumber,

awhile that the Kimball mill would
be burned. but heroic efforts on the
part of the citizens and the fire com
pany saved it and prevented the spread
of the angry flames beyond the lumber

THE SHAMROCK WILL REMAIN.
VIII Snil Number of Races Next
season for Prizes to be
Offered.

New York. Oct. 9.-It is settled that
| the Shamrock IL. is to stay III q ulef +
can waters this winter, and next sum-
mer she will probably be seen in races
on Long Island sound and elsewhere.
Sir Thomas Upton said, yesterday,
that the yacht would be laid up at
Erie Basin and not at New London
as originally intended. The tall steel
mast will be taken out and all her
other spars taken on shore and stored
for the winter. BY reason OF the
great height of the mast the yacht
will either have to sail around Long
Island in the spring, to get into the
sound. or fit out at City Island, for
the spar is far too long to go under
the Brooklyn bridge at any stage of
the tide
y member of the New York Yacht
club, who is prominent in racing,
said last night:
"lf the Shamrock should meet the
Columbia and Constitution in that
smooth water on the sound next sum-
mer, / feel sure she would win a
number of races. and that would give
yachting in this country big boom" "
There is thought to be no doubt
but that the Larchmont. Sewanhaka
and other Sound clubs would give
prizes for the 90-feet yachts, and in
vlte the Shamrock to compete for
them. Sir Thomas and his friends be-
ileve there is great deal more speed
IN the Shamrock than has been
shown, and they are willing to try
her against any 9O-footer anoat
Sir Thomas suffered considerably
with his leg. yesterday, and kept very
quiet on board his steam Yacht Erin.
On Thursday he will give a dinner TO
Capt. Sycamore and the crew of the
Shamrock. and on Saturday he will
be entertained by the Lotus club. On
/ Sunday night or early Monday morn
ing he will leave for Chicago for sev-
eral days. He will sail for the other
side soon after returning from Chica-

night. About two hundred members
of the club were present. Commodore
