The husband came to the house last

and his wife were together in a room
Presently she made an outcry. Apo
arose from his sickbed IN an adjoining
room and found Hammond holding his
wife on the floor with a hand on her
throat

SHOT TO DEATH
IN PISTOL DUEL
Special Dispatch to IN. Cali.

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. a. - Henry ].
Callahan, Federal Court Baliff. Civil
war veteran, a pioneer placer miner OF
Montana and a respected citizen of the
State, lies dead at Richards under
taking rooms as the result of at least
the second attempt on his life in the
last month Miles Fuller, another placer
miner, whose reputation has been bad,
Is prisoner charged with the murder.
Callahan was shot to death this
afternoon in revolver duel, and his
body shows the deadly effect Of the bull
let's that were fred at him at short
range. An ugly cash in the right side
or the throat was made by one ball
as IT tore its way through his neck,
severing his Jugular vein- Another bull
let entered the left eye and was evil
IDENTIFY lodged in the brain, no sign OF
exit being found. Either Of the wounds
would have been fatal. Near Callahan
lay his empty revolver.
Fuller is said to have threatened to
kill Callahan, declaring Callahan
would be in his coffin before next
Christmas eve and that leads the Off
GERS to believe he is the man they want.
Callahan some time ago suspected
that some one was robbing the sluices
of his placer workings and watched for
the robber. Early one morning he
caught Fuller in the act Of robDing the
boxes and severely beat him. Callahan
at another time found his house had
been broken into. He could not dis
cover that anything was missing and
prepared as usual his supper. On sip
ping his coffee Callahan noticed a
peculiar taste and. becoming suspicious
began an investigation, resulting in the
discovery Of large quantities of strych-
nine in the sugar and coffee.

Growers and Business Men Assure
Candidate of Their Support.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 24.-The enthusi-
asm that has been attending the
meetings of E. A. Hayes, Republican
nominee for Congress in the Fifth Dis
trict, throughout Santa Clara County
was repeated this evening at Mountain
View. Bonflres illuminated the town.
The audience was a large one and
was made UP of business men of
Mountain View and orchardists from
the surrounding country. Vocal music
was rendered by the Stanford quartet.
w. T. Wright presided as chairman.
Hayes address reviewed the history
of the Republican party and the tar
if laws. He urged the voters TO work
for the election of the entire Repub-
lican ticket, so that President Roose-
Welt would have Republican Congress
men to support him in his policy.
Hayes assured the fruit growers that
if he were sent to Congress their in
terests would not suffer by a tinker
ing with the tariff law on fruit. After
the meeting most of those present as
sured Hayes of their loyal support.
Addresses were also delivered by
Major Kyle of San Francisco, Fayettc
Mitcheltree, candidate for the Assem-
bly,: F. Mitchell, candidate for Super
visor, and A. M. Free.
At noon to-day Hayes addressed the
several hundred employees of the Pa
cific Manufacturing Mill at Santa
Clara and was cordially received. He
said he was a laboring man himself;
that he had started in life as a farm
boy, and if in working his way he had
laid aside a few dollars he hoped the
fact would not be laid to his discredit
Without the Republican system of
protection, he said. the country would
not now be enjoying such an unex-
ampled degree of prosperity.

FIGHTS INCORPORATION.

We still frequently hear the proposition
urged for the incorporation OF trade unions.

honorable and sympathetic. notwithstanding
how unwise and injurious the results would
unquestionably be to labor Others again,
who advocate and insist upon the incorpora-
tion Of the trade unions know full we'll the
purpose they have in view and the schemes
they could then hatch to harass organized
labor still more with suits at law, regarSess
of the fiimsness of the cause or the pretext
for civil ruits.
They would not only divert our attention
from the effort at economic improvement to a
defense against every species of civil suits
brought by our opponents against any officer
OF organized labor. but they would make every
effort under the forms of law to mulct our
unions in damages for supposed injurious re-
suits from trade union action. We would be
forced to defend suits without regard to the
merit or lack of merit in the complaint in or
der to prevent organization from being
muIcted in damages and this, after all, is
the ultimate desire and purpose of op-
ponents for trade union incorporation, for ne
cessity would require the expenditure of large
sums Of money I'm attorneys fees and other
costs and expenditures incident to litigation
The most important point apparently. urged
by our opponents in advocacy of trade union

FIRST DAY is SUCCESS
President |. w. Hellman of
Nevada Bank Says Result
Is Highly Satisfactory

The first days bidding for the Japa-

people of San Francisco have every
confidence in the credit of the little
brown men who are battling against
the hosts of his imperial Majesty, the
Car. Within five hours after the time
appointed for the sending of applica-
tions the subscriptions amounted to
more than 100000.
Shortly after the Nevada Bank opened
for business yesterday morning people
began to present their bids. The num-
Der of applications was much greater
than expected. Many wanted only $500
in bonds, others asked for thousands of
dollars worth of the securities.
Each bid to be considered must be ac-
companied by a certified check. The
bonds sell at SO and pay interest at 5
per cent on the par value, which
amounts to more than per cent on the
amount to be paid. Investors are Sc
cured by a second charge on the Japa-

subscribed greatly exceed our expectations. We
thought We should not have many bids until
tomorrow, when We shall have had time to
