Lynched Old Calvin Hall and Four Others in May Last
Special Dispatch to The Call.

nesses OUTSIDE of court and threats in
ModOc County are things not lightly to be
considered. The activity of the prosecu-
ton in the case Of Brown, who is the
present defendant, has provoked wrath
among all the persons WHO have for weeks
been trying to block the legal proceedings
and shield the culprits. A serious clash
is expected some time during the week.
Assistant Attorney General Post, whose
admirable handling of the celebrated Lit
tlefield and Round Valley feud cases at
Weaverville in Trinity County a few years
ago has we'll fitted him for the duty i'm
posed on him here, said to-day:
Prosecution Is Hopeful.
1.-THE prosecution is making good head
way with the trial. We will put up a
case in which no fair jury can do other
wise than convict. The evidence will be
plain and we think we have a good,
square. impartial jury. The evidence for
the prosecution will all be in by Friday

N German named Theyerson is Ian
w gushing in a Japanese prison on
" the charge Of having attempted to
kill the Emperor of Japan. A
former member of the Japanese Legisla-
ture, who was mixed up in the same al
legged attack on his Majesty has been pro-
visionalIy pardoned and will probably not
be punished. His name is Tanaka Shoso.
1t appears that this Japanese was the
political agent of the German, who was
interested in the Ashiwo copper mine.
This valuable property was recently
seized by the Government because of al
legged irregularities and the company and
Theyerson were much hampered. Theyer-
son is said to have attempted to kill the
Emperor in revenge for the way in which
the Government had treated him.
Theyerson and Shoso were at the en-
trance to the palace grounds when the i'm
perial equipage came along. The Japan
ese ran up toward the Emperor's carriage
with a paper in his hand, but he was
stopped by the guard and forced back.
The German witnessed the rebuff and in
anger he drew a revolver. He, too, jumped
toward the carriage, but only took a-step

Freight will be switched anywhere in

will call for the extra charge. The cost
Of transfer from the lower yards to
those at distance. notably up on top
of the hill, where there is seyen-mile

roads feel that the consignee of the

The coal and lumber and other whole
sale houses up on the hill will be most
affected in all probability. Most of them
located there SO as to have a down-hill
pull in delivering their goods, and thus
they had some slight advantage over the
dealers who located lower down. The

LOSS LESS THAN SUPPOSED
The Kennedy Furniture Company
Damaged $25, 900 by Last Nights
Big Fire.

The loss caused by the big fire in the
Kennedy Furniture company's ware
house last night was $25,000 according to
a statement made by the bookkeeper Of
the firm who was making up an invoice
of the goods burned, at the store on West
Broadway today.
The burned warehouse and it's contents
which We're total loss. practically
speaking, were only partly insured.
While the loss has not been exactly
estimated yet. it is stated that the first
estimate of $4,000 or $40 900 is too great.
The cause of the fire could not be as
certained by the furniture company. 1t
will never be known ps,bably, as the
flames We're too far advanced for an in
yestigation when the fire was discovered.
The fire occurred at about half-past 6
o'clock last evening. and the fire depart
ment made every effort to save the prop-
erty, but without avail.

Police Judge Boyle, whose bills
against the county Of Silver Bow for
services rendered as an ex-officio JUS
tice Of the peace have been held over
for consideration by the county COM
missioners, takes a practical view of
the. situation from which arise the
difficulties over the bills.
Judge Boyle says that, at the regular
fee rate established by law, the sery-
ices, rendered to the county by him
monthly in the trial of county cases
call for justices fees asgregating from
$50 to $3.50. However, there is a law
limiting the monthly claim of the police
judge against the county for such serv-
ices to S41.65 and, therefore, notwith-
standing how the work piles up or how
the fees accumulate at the regular rate,
4 in obedience to this law. his iionthly
biHs for May, June and July, which
are now before the commissioners, are
limited to that amount.
Vag Cases Make Trouble.

trying all Migrants before justices of

Germans will doubtless have a big time

anteed 800 excursionists, at one fare for
the round trip. Owing to the limited
number of cars at the disposal of the
railroad, the excursionists will be limited
to members of the order, unless the order
should fail to fill the cars. which is not
likely.
