Special Dispatch to The call.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-In to-day's
trial of j. A. Benson, Woodford E. Har-
Ian, clerk in the land division of the
Interior Department, swore that in a

Der s. under direction of Secret Service

Benson would come to Washington, he
would for $500 have the stenographer' S

Harlan to Benson crossed while Benson
was en- route East. When he finally re-

Ian. Asked by Judge Campbell why
he falsely swore yesterday and this
morning that the letter offered certain
stenographers notes. Harlan was ap-
parently greatly confused and admitted
that he had sworn falsely in order to
make out case for the Government.
Harlan also admitted he lied when he
swore yesterday he had given the let
ter to Barnes to mail.
w. E. Walk, another clerk, testified
to-day that he had merely expedited
certain cases for Benson in legitimate
way under the direction of the Com
missioner of the Land Office. In view
of the testimony thus far adduced, it is
believed that the bribery charge
against Benson will not stand and that
he will be permitted to return to Cali
f6rnia at the end of this week, where
he will surrender himself to the au-
thorities to answer to a conspiracy
charge, the trial of which will prob
ably not occur for several months.

Tragedy.
FRESNO, Feb. 24.-Enraged by an
affront offered to medicine man. of
his tribe, Charles Aybemi, Yosemite
Indian living near Pollasky, Monday
shot and instantly killed an Indian
named Hoppe. A young girl in the
Indian camp was very sick and there
was much discussion among the red
men as to whether they should call in
a white doctor or their own medicine
man." Mallopi, famed far and wide as
a wizard. Hoppe, who had been
drinking and was in a quarrelsome
mood. was one of those who expressed
the most incredulity of the wizard s
ability to do the girl any good. The
counsels of the elder Indians prevailed
and MaIlopi was sent for, arriving not
long afterward on horseback. Mean
while hot words had passed between
Aybemi and Hoppie, the latter jeering
at his companion and vowing that
when the Indian doctor arrived his
much-vaunted powers should be put to
the test. AS Mallopi rode up Hoppie
advanced to the middle of the road and,
drawing a sharp dirk from his pocket,
slashed the horse across the ribs, cry
ing as the blood gushed forth:
There, great medicine man, heal
that and prove what you can do"
The words were hardly out of his
mouth when Aybemi jerked out re-
volver and dropped him with bullet
through his brain. Word of the trag-
edy was sent to MADEIRA and Constable
Bigelow placed Aybemi under arrest,
taking him to the County Jail. The
general sentiment among the Indians is
that Hoppe met with just retribution
for offering such an affront to Mallopi'
