In the Laws Meshes.

G.. w. Rumble, promoter of the
Sunset Mining company, was arrested
in his Office in San Francisco, on the
charge of using the mails to defraud.
The Mining and Engineering Review
has been for some time denouncing
Rumble and his scheme, and while
grave accusations have been brought
against the promoter and his COM
panv, he has in turn accused the
Review and the California state min
eralogist of attempted extortion and
his business seems to have con tinued
without interruption until his arrest.

TONOPAH BONANZA.
WITH HAMMER AND PISTOL
Won Mohr shoots Mackaskie in
the Cheek.

As a result Of last Wednesday S
fgbt. Peter MacKaskie bears an
ugly bullet wound in his left cheek
and J. Van Mohr is in jail awaiting
his preliminary hearing which, owing
the illness of Judge Lindsay, has been
postponed until next Monday.
Both men have been engaged IN
the assay business and the dispute
which eliminated in the shooting oc-
Cured over the ownership of the
building in which their business Is
located. There were several persons
who claim to have seen the fight or
to have come into the office just after
MacKaskie was shot, and the testl-
mony of all these will be taken at
the trial.
Mac Kaskie's version of the affair
is that he had allowed Van Mohr, to-
gether with his wife and family, to
build a tent house on his lot, receiving
in return half interest in Van
Mohr's assay business, He claims
that Van Mohr has laid claim to a
half interest in the house in which
the office is located, and has tried to
usurp the premises entirely. Mac
Kaskie had been to Grandpa and
when he returned he discovered that
the front doors of the Office building
had been closed and the locks re-
moved. He put new locks on the
doors in place of those which Var
Mohr had taken off, and it was while
he was doing this that Van Mohr shot
him. He says that Van Mohr first
struck him with a hammer and ther
fired the shot which penetrated hi'
cheek and afterwards dropped GU
while he was holding Van Mohr dowl
on the floor, awaiting the arrival 0
the officer who made the arrest. Ac
> cording to MacKaskie the assault
upon him was entirely unprovoked.
When interviewed in jail by re
preventative of the BONANZA, VA
Mohr declared that MacKaskie wa
the aggressor. He was strenuous i
maintaining that he himself is tn
injured party, but the testimony
eve witnesses does not seem to COZ
roborate his statements. Moreover
he claims that he shot once in the al
to brighten his adversary befor
shooting him, and yet no bullet mar
can, be found in the ceiling of tn
office. He also declares that in a
tempting to hold the premises, /
was acting under the advice of h
lawyer.
An unusual feature of the case
the fact that after Van Mohr ha
been arrested on Wednesday, he W;
released the same night without bs
and was not e-incarcerated un
Thursday morning, when Depu
Constable DuPuy arrested him und
warrant sworn out by MacKaski
His bail was fixed at $4,000.

THE RELIANCE WON
IN A DRIFTING RACE

New York, May Boa big fleet of
yachts made lane for the Reliance
and Constitution to drift across. the fin
ish line of to-dAy's race, and the steam
ers almost split their whistles in hail
ing the Reliance winner.
But the tickle sound breezes had
made the race fizzle. A seven-knot
easterly wind had dwindled to almost
a fat calm, and Columbia, which had
suffered most thereby, was but dim
spectre in the distant haze when the
winner crossed the line.
Reliance defeated the Constitution by
"a minutes and 26 seconds and the Co.
lurnbia by 2 hours, minutes and IS
seconds, but the figures are without
significance.
The last few miles of the race was
drift and Reliance was a mile or more
nearer the finish line than was the
Constitution when the drifting began,
thereby securing a big advantage. The
Columbia was nearly three miles away
when the Reliance finished
In the first leg which was the only
one sailed under fair racing conditions,
the Reliance had shown again that in
a light wind and smooth water she
was the queen of the trio. On that
leg also the Columbia had again been
badly beaten by both the Reliance and
the Constitution.

Waters Have Invaded the Streets of
That City.
Des MONIES, Iowa, May S0.-Four feet
of water was coursing through a large
section of the business district of East
Des Moines TODAY.
Thirty-five thousand people in East
Des Moines, 5000 in South Des Moines
and 1000 in North Des Moines are prac-
tically cut off from communication with
the main section of the city. Abso-
lutely no attempt is made to transact
business.
six thousand persons are homeless.
80 per cent. of whom are practically
without shelter, and have been unfed
for twenty-four hours, during which
time they have been exposed to the con-
slant heavy rain with the thermometer
close to the freezing point. Many
women and children shivered all night
long in rain-soaked garments, unable
to find a dry place on which to lie.
Four men, engaged in an attempt
to rescued household goods, were
thrown into the current and quickly
drowned. The name of one, ]. E. King
man. was known to one of the wit
nesses of the accident.
In two different instances babies
were born in flooded houses. The
mothers and their infants were removed
to places of safety in boats as soon as
possible.

SAW JETT SHOOT.
That Is what witnesses Have Told
the Grand Jury.


jackson, KY, May 30.-The grand
jury made final report tonight, re-
turning another indictment against
Curtis Jett, charging him with another
assassination.
The manner of killing James Cock
rill, the town marshal, and of IT. B.
Marcum, the attorney for contestants
for county offices, was identical, the
assassin using the Court House for
shelter and shooting his victim in the
back in both cases. Witnesses have
now told the grand jury that they saw
Curtis lett in the act of committing
both crimes.
The last indictment probably was
directly due to the testimony this aft
ernoon of Capt. John e. Patrick, who
came here from Catlettsburg to-day to
testify. He was met at the train by
a detail of soldiers, who escorted him
to the Court House, guarded the place
while he testified and then escorted
him home. He has been an exile from
Breathitt since shortly after CockrilI
was killed last July, when it became
known that he was an eyewitness of
the murder and when afterwards at
tempts were made to kill him.
The arrival of reinforcements in the
Danville Company and the Louisville
battery detail, with another Hotchkiss
gun, has relieved somewhat the sus-
pense which many have been under.
owing to reports current that an at
tack might yet have to be met.
Soldiers to the number of IT'S are en-
camped here tonight. There are some
who anticipate a desperate condition IL
Jet should confess and implicate prom
inent people.

an ideal place for an encampment. 1t
would, he said, take some little work
to prepare the abutting grounds so
that they would accommodate the evo-
lutions of the cavalry.
Officers Pleased.
"I am glad that the Governor has
left the matter with Col. Meldrim,"
said Col Gordon, last night when told
of the Governors decision. Il think
that there is little doubt that the fair
ground will be chosen as the place for
the encampment. 1 reported to Col.
Meldrim that IL was far beyond the
most available site 1t is an ideal
place, for the regiment can have its
tents, mess hall, stables. water supply,
parade grounds, etc, all within one in
closure
I'm my opinion however, it will be
necessary for some work to be done on
the ground which, it has been proposed,
shall be used as parade grounds. OF
course, it is out of the question for the
cavalry to come all the way to the city
to the Park Extension to hold their
squad, company, battalion and regi-
MENTAL drills. AS the ground now is
it could not accommodate the evolu-
tons of the entire regiment. As said
in my report, it will be necessary. to
drain the level land south of the race
track, and harden it. If the Fair As
ISOLATION or Chamber of Commerce
will undertake that work, it will make
the fair grounds the best place possible
for an encampment. The grounds
could be used in the future, and 1t
would be an excellent place to camp
Uncle Sans horse"
Capt. A. Gordon Cassels, who him
self has favored Griffin for some rea-
sons, said that he thought the action
of the Governor would be well re-
ceived. His men, he said, were willing
enough to come here. and he believed
a very successful encampment would
result from the selection. Capt. Cas-
sells says that he thinks the fair
grounds the most available site, and
says that by holding it there fea-
ture can be added to the camp life
which has not been contemplated.
IF the merchants will offer prizes,
the troopers can have some interest
ing sport on the track, he said. A
prize might be offered for the fastest
horse. or the most graceful rider. In
addition to this we can have some tilt
ing contests, and give the public who
come out to the grounds a little en-
tertainment."

Little Doubt That 1t VIII BE Chosen
by Col. MeIdrim.


Now that Gov. Terrell has decided
to leave the question of a place for
the encampment of the First Regi-
ment Of Cavalry with Col. Meldrim, and
the choice OF Savannah as the camp
ing grounds is practically assured, the
subject which will engross the troop
ers will be where to pitch the camp.
While this matter. too. is left with
Col. MeldrIm. who has said that he
will select the site which conforms
nearest TO the requirements. It is
known that he viii respect the wishes
of the officers and men.
The Fair Grounds seems to be the

WILL LOOK INTO 1T.
Department Promises to Investigate
Rentals.

Washington May SO.-To-day was OBJ
served as a holiday in all departments
except the postal inspection service,
where the inquiry into postal admins
tration was pressed vigorously. There
were no important developments and
the investigating officials say that none
are expected within the next forty
eight hours.
The policy Of the investigating off,
Gals is to proceed conservatively and
to predicate arrests only on what they
regard as conclusive evidence. They
say no further arrests are in imme-
date contemplation.
There VIII be a thorough examina-
ton of the leases of postoffices through
out the country when investigation of
the affairs of the salary and allowance
division is taken up actively. This is
the division of which George w. Beav-
ers of Brooklyn, N. Y. was the head
when he suddenly resigned, several
months ago.
The purpose of the investigation will
be to ascertain whether there have
been any favoritism or collision in ar
ranging leases or any excessive rentals
paid. There has been a steady
average increase in postoffice
rentals as postal business was
expanded, but there is as yet no Off
cial indication that abnormal rentals
have been paid.

THEY ARE PAID HIGH
FOR POST0FFICES
Startling Figures snow Something
Is Wrong in New York state.


Is Wrong in New York state.
New York, May SO.-The Brooklyn
Eagle says to-day that an investiga-
ton made by it shows that 100000 per
annum is paid in New York state in
excess of the normal commercial rent
ais for postofices. The Eagle adds that
as the leases run for ten years the to-
tai excess amounts to $5O00,0 600. The
Eagle says:
Combining the investigation to New
York state. in which nearly every sec
ton has been covered, it is difficult to
hnd an instance where the federal gov
eminent is not paying from 25 to 50
per cent. more than it should for rent
ais. Indeed, so universal is the grave
ly excessive rate paid that a belief
would be justified that an organized
conspiracy to advance and maintain
the high figures of these rentals ex-
lists or, has existed for some time. All
the traffic would bear seems to be the
rule
Instances of so per cent. above the
rentals paid by private interests for
like property similarly situated are
many, rs per cent. not infreouent
While, in some cases. 100 and even 200
per cent. have been reached.
instances have been found where
leases have been executed by the Post
Office Department for the OCCUPATION
OF floors in buildings which were not
in existence, but which were vet to
he built and were so built and occu-
pied at grossly excessive rates.
The most notable and fragrant in
stance of the abuse is shown in Dun
kirk, in Chautauqua county. 1t is a
city of 11,616 population by the last
census. For a single floor for the
accommodation of the postoffice the
government is paying $4,000 annually.
In the same block few doors nearer
the central business point of this city,
is a building, the first or street floor
of which is occupied by a business
concern, which, apart from this post
office building, commands the high
est rent in the city of Dunkirk The
merchant occupying it pays 500 per
annum."
The Eagle presents a table of recent
increases of rentals at towns through
out the state.

into the street caught fire and burned
in sight of thousands.
