tiro de arma de fuego, causandose una
herida en- la region temporal derecha,

En- los momento en- que el policia
Bocanegra intent6 contra su vida, Sc
ballaban con el Julian Flores, Narciso
Almerida, Manolo Mendez y su primo
Eufemio, quienes quedaron detenidos
inmediatamente, seg1n orden del Juez
de Paz.
De mas esta decir los benefcios que

corros, pues la cura que Sc lie hizo ALI
a Bocanegra fue buena y oportuna: to-
do estaba a mano y con POGO sacriicio,
por que todo es trafdo directamente
de los Estados Unidos de America. Es
una de las buenas obras instaladas por
el Sr. Deliz, quien viene demosuando
mucho cello e interes por los progre-
SOS de esta Villa.
Despues de curado ell herido, fue
trasladado al Hospital de Nuestra Sc
nora del Carmen, con un policfa de vi
gilancia.
Los disparos fueron dos, pero la he
rida una; el revolver era nuevo, aca-
bado de comprar en- algun estableci-
miento, de nueve milimetros, bulldog;
pero e. manifesto que 10 tenfa desde

Tan pronto prestaron declaration
sus amigos detenidos, fueron puestos
en- libertad, 10 que celebramos, por ser
inocentes y por que no pudieron evil
tar ell suceso. Bocanegra, cortando la
conversation, les dijo "ahora vengo",
y Sc dirigio a su cuarto, oyendose en-
seguida los dos'disparos.
Fue triste la escena que tuvo lugar
al llegar ell hermano de Bocanegra y
encontrar este tendido en- el suelo y
bafiado en- sangre.
La cura fue hecha, con admirable
maestrfa, por el doctor Hernandez,
ayudado de los sefiores More, Calde-

Professor Mcclellan Enter
tanned a Musical Audience
al Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, Nov. 21.-John j. McClel-
Ian, organist OF the Salt Lake staber-
nacle, gave his first recital on the
mammoth festival hall organ this
morning at the Worlds fair and
achieved a distinct success. An en-
thnsiastic audience of goodly proper
tons was thoroughly entertained by
one of the most musical recitais given
during the entire season and gave the
artist welcome that must have been
gratifying to the representative of the
Utah musical world. Mr.. McClellan's
programme was well selected, both as
10 the satisfaction of his audience and
the display OF his varied and unusual
talent. A delightful contrast was
furnished in the pastOrale of LemaFe
and the Chromatic fantastic of Thiele-
Mr.. Mcclellan showed rare taste in his
registration and much real talent i'm has
delightful shading. His technique is
clean and sure. his style broad and his
musical ability assured. His recital of
Tuesday will include a prelude by
Shepherd. a Salt Lake City musician.

Since the Japanese failed i'm the attack
which they made on Poutiloff hill Nov.
Is, the old order of affairs has been re-

particularly in the vicinity of the Rus
sian center, where both sides have
daily clashes. There was an exchange
OF artillery fire during the greater part
OF Nov. 20.
1t appears that the affair of Nov. Is
was a reconnaissance in force and that.

lowed by a general attack The Jap

President Urged to Use His Influence to Secure the Enact
ment of Law to Confer More Power on Inter
State Commerce Commission.

It was pointed out to the president
that for ten years prior to 1897 the
Interstate commerce commission had
exercised the power to adjust railroad
freight rates in order 20 prevent dis
elimination but since that time, by
reason of a decision of the supreme
court. that power had been denied the
commission. IT was urged by the
delegation that a law be enacted by
congress comforting upon the commits
sion authority 10 adjust rates when
they were found TO be discriminatory in
their operation or in violation of the
interstate commerce act. The delega-
ton also suggested TO the president the
desirability Of discussing the subject
in his forthcoming message. The presi-
dent did not indicate however. what
his personal views were. contenting
himself with giving careful hearing
to the statements made.
