MINING EXPERT
IS FOUND SHOT
Body of J. A.. Valentine of
Los Angeles Is Discovered
in Cabin Near Caliente
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BAKERSFIELD, June s. - A man,
supposed to be ]. A. Valentine Of 325.
North Main street, Los Angeles, has
been found dead in an isolated cabin
in Kelso Canyon. fourteen miles from
the railroad at Caliente. He had been
shot four times in the head. A revolver
was found near his hand, but from the
nature of the wounds 1t is believed he
was murdered. He had been dead sew
eral days. No one knew him and the
only clew to his identity is several let
ters signed by the above name in
which he gave the Los Angeles address.
He was presumably miner or pros
pector.
LOS ANGELES, June 81. A. Val
entine, who is supposed to have been
murdered in Kelso Canyon, near Cal
iente. was a well-known mining expert
of Los Angeles.
He left this city last Sunday for Piute
Mountain to inspect certain mining
property which had been purchased by
Henry Tostmann, North Main street
saloon-k keeper. Tostmann having offered
him an interest in the property II II
was found to be worth developing.
Valentine was accompanied by
cook named Alex Pontan, whose home
is in San Fernando. They took suff-
cient supplies to last them week, but
Valentine expected to be back by to-
morrow or Friday. Valentine had up
ward of 5000 after all the supplies had
been purchased
The news of the tragedy received
here does not mention Pontan and to-
night the saloon man who sent Valen-
tine to the mountains informed the po-
lice that Pontan had been seen In this
city to-day, but had not appeared at
the saloon although he knew that Val
entine had been sent from there. The
detectives are making every effort to
find Pontan, but thus far without sue
cess. Valentine was about 40 years of

WASHINGTON, June s.-American
marines have landed in Africa. Ad
miral Chadwick this afternoon cabled
to the Navy Department from Tangier
as follows:
Il have placed a guard at the Bel
gian Legation, having been asked to
do so by our Consul General here"
The State Department has received
unofficial assurances through Gum
mere, who had il from the British Con-
sui at FeZ, that the Sultan of Morocco
will accede to all of Raissouli's terms.
The bandits demand that Great
Britain and the United States shall
guarantee the execution of the Sui
tans promises. however, is the sticking
point and this probably can be got
around only by hesacceptance of this
obligation by Great Britain or France

or some other country not so strongly
bound as the United States by its ira
diticns not TO entangle itself in the
internal affairs of other countries. 1t
is stated positively that under no con-
ditions can the United States Govern
ment execute these guarantees.
The Navy Department to-day re-
ceived a cablegram from Rear Admiral
Chadwick at Tangier. to the effect that
he was informed that Perdicaris and
his stepson, Narley, were in need of
medical assistance and that the Consul
General had sent to RaIssouli to- in
quire whether a surgeon would be
given safe conduct. The admiral says
that if so. one will be sent in company
with the Shereef Of Wasan. Raissouli' S
reply is expected on June ,.

Coroner Brown, following the decision
on the writ of habeas corpus, the pris-
oner was taken TO the Coroner's office.
Levy then asked that the Coroner pro-
ceed to exercise his function as mag
istrate and proceed with the ex-
animation Of the prisoner.
Levy said he was prepared to fur
uish bail in a reasonable amount. A
bondsman was at hand, he said, and
would like 10 have the bail fixed and
the prisoner released.
This woman is charged with MUIR
der in the first degree" said Jerome,
"and no magistrate is empowered to
accept bail for one charged with that
offense."
Il will settle that matter" returned
Coroner Brown, by saying that /
shall not accept bail. That is my
prerogative. The prisoner will return
to the Tombs."

matte representations made in regard
to the kidnapping of Perdicaris and Var
ley arrived here this afternoon. 1t is
said by a person in the Sultan's con-
fidence that the Sultan has given or
ders to grant all of the conditions de-
manded by Raissouli, the bandit leader,
in order to expedite the release of the
captives.
The Sultan in his letter appoints
Herid FL Barrada to be Governor Of
Tangier, which step was included
among Raissouli's demands. Barrada
was a member of the Council of Mo-
hammed FL Torres, the representative
of the Sultan here, and formerly was
Governor of Masagan.
The authorities here assert that the
raid made yesterday by armed Anjera
tribesmen on the home of an English
man here, during which they obtained
several rifles, was only a common rob-
berry and had no political significance.

for they did not even demand OF the
messenger to open the safe. They
knew that he did not have the COM
bination. This safe can be opened
only in Denver and in Salt Lake.
A stick of dynamite was placed
against the lock of the safe. Here
again the robbers showed their disre-
gard of dynamite. One-haf OF the
explosive used would have done the
work.
BRAKEMAN is WOUNDED.
Just at this point Brakeman Shell
lenbarger, who had been ordered to
remain with the passenger coaches
two miles behind, came running up
the track, carrying a lantern. One
of the robbers shot at him. He was
wounded in the leg and is now in the
Sisters Hospital at Grand Junction.
When the robbers saw that the train
crew was coming they fed to the
mountains. One of them as he jumped
from the express car grabbed one
sealed bag, which had been blown
clear out of the safe. This was the
only plunder which was taken.
The engineer and the others who
had been under the aim of the rob-
bers went to the aid of Shellenbarger,
who had fallen where he was shot.
After the hold-up the engine, bag
gage and express cars were backed to
Parachute. where the alarm was given
to the railroad officials.
The scene of the robbery was but
800 yards from the flow of the Grand
River and it is believed that the rob
bers had a boat hidden in the Grand
and that they used this 10 cross the
river, destroying it after they had
crossed.
A posse under Deputy Sheriff Cohn
of Grand Junction followed the course
of the river until they reached Rife.
There they discovered the trail of the
robbers, indications showing that they
must have passed the point but few
hours before. 1t is believed that the
bandits are heading for the "Hole-in-
