Standard Sued for inspection Fee

Chicago, April 6.-The city of Chi
cago today filed suit for $40, 900 against
the Standard Oil company. The bill
is based upon the alleged non-payment
OF inspection fees by the Standard Oil
company. 1t is claimed that the COM
pany has for years refused to pay for
inspections made by the city under an
ordinance regulating commerce in
naphtha and gasoline. Representatives
OF the Standard Oil company hold that
gasoline and naphtha are not products
OF petroleum and that the ordinance
does not apply.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 6.-John st,
Clair, well known prospector, whose
statements are considered reliable, has
returned from the Yaqui country near
Ures, Sonora, and reports that the In
dams are still on the warpath. He
says that Malpuche, the old chief, is
at the head of band of over so and is
devastating the whole country, muir
dering, pillaging and burning. Grain
and cotton ranches are being abandoned
and the people are going into the towns
for protection.
The whole country is in state of
panic. Mail routes between the small
towns have been abandoned and pro-
visions are getting scarce. Although
the country is overrun with soldiers.
he says, the Indians are fearless and
continue their depredations. st. Clair
does not believe it is safe for Americans
to go into the Yaqui country at this
time, as the Yaquis are very hostile to
Americans.
While going from Ures to his camp
In the mountains, st. Clair heard firing
and ran into what had been an Indian
ambuscade- He found two dead Mex
leans who had been killed only few
before he reached the place
The Yaquis are armed with rifles and
are well supplied with cartridges, St.
Clair says.

cation was effected for the construction

section, which will comprise the pre-
ilmlnary fund to carry out the plans
Lewiston's quota of this fund was
placed at $75, 900, and in a few min
utes voluntary subscriptions covered
over half this amount.
The electric line will extend throupb
the Waha wheat belt, the Craig moun-
taln timber country and over the Nez
ferce and Camas prairies, and will ba
about 80 miles in length. The steamer
Mountain Gem, owned by Lewiston and

NO INDICATIONS OF MURDER
Coroner's Jury investigates Suicide Of
Mrs. A. L. Harris

Death by gunshot wound, fired with
suicidal intent" was the verdict of the
coroner's jury in the case of Mrs. A.
l.. Harris of San Francisco, who was
found dead Friday morning short
distance east of Eastlake park.
The autopsy showed that so close
had the muzzle of the revolver been
held to the woman's breast that the
explosion had blown the apex of the
heart entirely off, causing a wound
from which she would die in about
one minute.
Detective Cowan was examined and
he testified that the police department
had made careful investigation of
the case, and that it could find no
trace of the woman's having had a
companion at any time after she left
the hotel Thursday afternoon. and that
the case was considered a premeditated
suicide.
A. l.. Harris has instructed Pierce
Eros. TO prepare the body for burial
and it is possible that it may be taken
to San Francisco
Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-05

After travelling all over the country
in vain effort to escape form a num-
ber Of men whom he imagined to be
following him to throw apple pie at
him, Dr. S. Elwood Schirmer commit
ted suicide by firing bullet into his
heart about 8 o'clock Friday night in
his room at Gil Towne avenue.
DR.. Schirmer has been acting strange
ly since he went to the place, about
three weeks ago, according to the land
lady, Mrs. Dibble He would pace the
floor and humble to himself. When
his effects were searched a diary was
found, and the above extract is az sam
lot of incoherent poetry. Through
all his writings, however, he speaks
of the men who are following him to
throw apple pie at him.
When Schirmer went to the room
ing house he paid for his room in adj
vance, and told the landlady that he
was a travelling dentist and intended
to practice in Los Angeles as soon as
he passed the state board examination.
About a week ago he borrowed a die
tionary and began work on a manu-
script.
fled shot was heard in the house, but
no attention was paid to it. Yesterday
morning, however, when no one could
be reused in his room the door was
forced and he was discovered lying
dead on the bed, with gunshot wound
one shot had been fired, lying beside
him. -
On the table lay a large and bulky
envelope containing, it is supposed,
the manuscript on which he had been
at work. The envelope was addressed
ITO the Hon. George C. Pardee, gov
ernor of the state of California From
DIR. S. Elwood Schrmer, D. D. S. and
NJ. formerly of Tomaqua, Pa, and
now in your state in Los Angeles.
honor old glory forever. Let no man
break this seal but the governor"
DR.. Schirmer is about 40 years old
and evidently of German extraction.
He had a great deal of almost worth
less stuff in his room, a little money,
a set of tools such as are used by a
travelling dentist and several suits of
clothes, all well worn.
The purport of his letter to the gov
ernor Is supposed to be a TRADE against
the state laws in regard to the prac-
tice of medicine. AS it was addressed
and sealed, the undertakers refused to
open it, but it may be opened by the
coroner at the inquest.
The body, as well as all the dead
mans effects. were taken to Pierce
Bros morgue, where an inquest will
be held Monday morning.
