RESUME FIGHT
OVER DREDGING
PRIVATE CITIZEN SEEKS A
PERMIT
Contest Between Miner Company and
Huntington's Interurban Concern
Is Renewed Before United
States Engineer

J. C. Willmon yesterday made appli-
cation to United States Engineer "A. A.
Fries for permission to dredge and re-
serve for private use small strip Of
water front bordering three pieces of
land which he owns at the San Pedro
harbor edge.
This petition has created quandary
for the engineer, as to grant it would
completely overthrow all the conces-
Sions that have been given to the outer
Harbor Dock and Wharf company, the
enterprise being projected by Randolph
H. Miner
The Miner company made a protest
against the petition of Willmon, and q
bitter contest between the interests is
expected to follow.
The fight between the Miner company
and the Huntington Interurban COM
pany for the privilege of dredging a
channel between the property of the
two companies was yesterday resumed.
A protest was filed by the Huntingdon
company against the Miner company's s
proposal to dredge the 500-foot channel
from within their grant. and the petit
tion was made that the channel be
taken equally from the property of botn
companies.
Forty-eight hours in which to pre-
pare reply to this protest was asked
for by the Miner interests. The same
time was asked for by Willmon in which
| to draft an appeal. All parties promised
to have their articles prepared for
presentation b. Wednesday.
The Wilmington Dock company asked
| for permission to construct bulkheads
and dredge channels from the upper end
| of the projected turning basin, south
of Mormon island inner harbor, to and
| in front of Wilmington and also in
| front Of the west basin.

SUMPTUOUS PRODUCTION
OF MISTRESS NELL"
BY BELASC0 PLAYERS

"Sumptuous" is the proper word to
apply TO the presentation of Mistress
Nell" by the Belasco players last night
1T Is the only word that Will convey
a good idea of the magnificence which
is so cleverly counterfeited on this
stage. SO often, but seldom so well as
ON this occasion. And i'm that one
word Is epitomlzed the production.
Mistress Nell is the play that
brought Henrietta Crosman from OBJ
security to fame almost in a night on
the New York stage-into a fame
which she has ever since retained,
though she has never done anything
better than this character of the witch
ing favorite of Charles III. 1t Is a pic
ture play, full Of the romantieism OF
the most picturesque time IN English
history, and it's presentation is always
a series of tableaux. which are In real
ity far more important than Is the
work OF the actors themselves. Yet
IN the hands of the Belasco people IL
is quite lifted out of the ordinary and
one even loses sight of the magnifl-
cence OF surrounding In the generally
good work of the players.
Amelia Gardner didn't know her
lines last night; possibly that Is why
.she Is rather Disappointing as the mis-
tress of the gay monarch. She may
be more true TO nature later in the
week, but one doubts this. Romantic
parts are not Miss Gardner's forte, and
She Is never at her best in them, as
Los Angeles has already learned; pity
lis, but tbs just the same. Her work

A warrant charging Mrs. e. H.

battery was issued yesterday after
noon.
Mrs. G. A. Retiring, III South Ave-

Mrs. Scheuster's daughter had failed
to join a society of which Mrs. Kett-
ring is an officer, after invitation had
been extended her.
ST had invited Miss Scheuster to
become a member of our club and she
had consented, but when the time
came for her to join she made some
excuse for remaining away.
"I became suspicious that her mother
had something to do with it, and when
I asked her about it she became very
angry at once. and flew at me in n
rage" said Mrs. Kittring in explana-
tion of the peculiar incident.

coRoNER's VERDICT SUICIDE
SeIf-lnflicted Wound Is Fatal, but
Woman viii Recover from
Wounds

A coroner's inquest was held yester-
day afternoon upon the body of Samuel
Becker alleged to be a deserter from
the United States marine station, Lu-
zon, Philippine Islands, who last Sat-
urday night is supposed to. have shot
Mrs Pearl Fitzpatrick at the Hotel
Blakesly and killed himself by firing a
shot into his brain. A verdict Of death
by suicide was returned.
Becker had followed Mrs. Fitzpatrick
from Juzon, where he had met her
while she was there with her husband,
a government contractor. Becker fell
in love with her, and when she left the
island a short time ago to return to
San Francisco he followed her.
When she refused to listen to his
declarations of love last Saturday night
he shot her and then turned the gun
upon himself.
The wound upon himself proved IA
tai, and he died within an hour. Mrs,
Fitzpatrick's injury, however, is not
considered so serious as to end fatally.

SNAKE M|LKED THE
 0LD BR|NDLE cow
FARMER FINALLY DISCOVERS
 MYSTERIOUS THIEF.
FIRST LAID TO WlTcHcRAFT
But Finally Bossy and the Reptile Were Found Meeting by Appoint msnt and Now the Latter
 Is No More.

Pine Brook, Mich.-Abraham Ska dowski, a Hebrew farmer living near this place, has discovered the thief that daily for the last four weeks has been milking one of his COWS.
 And, what's more, Skadowski has the thiers hide on the fence, not fig uratively, but literally speaking.
 It measures more than half the length of ten-foot chestnut rail, to which it is nailed, in plain sight oi everybody that passes along the road in front of his house. Those that have seen 1t say 1t is the largest specimen of spotted or milk snake ever seen near Pine Brook.
 The snake was killed by Ska dowski himself in the pasture lot ad- joining his barn. It had just helped itself to a good feed from an old brindle cow The strangest part of the affair was that the COW stood as quietly while the reptil was milking her as though it were the milkmaid's hand to which she submitted
 When Skadowski approached tho snake dropped in the grass and started to crawl away, but he had no trouble in overtaking it and killing 1t with a stick. The discovery and death of the reptile cleared up mystery that for nearly a month has been puzzling the Skadowski house. hold.
 It was early in June that the farm CT. on going to the barnyard one night to milk discovered that none could be drawn from the brindle COW. one of the heaviest milkers in his herd of 12 Every night since, if the COW spent the day in the pasture field, it was the same way In the morning she would be all right, and also at night on the few days during that period that Skadowski kept her confined to the limits of the barn. yard. It was only when turned loose in the pasture that the milk was taken.
 None of the other COWS were ever afflicted in the same manner, and how to account for the strange con dition of affairs was beyond Ska dowski's power. He reported the cir cumstance to his Hebrew neighbors. but they could offer no relief. He called in the rabbi, but the religious leader could give no better advice than the laymen. All were inclined to attribute it to witchcraft or some
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-08-10

other supernatural cause. He wanted the rabbi to kill the animal, but this the latter refused to do, as he said the meat would not be Kosher" or clean. according to Hebrew stand ards. Skadowski then. on the advice of one of his American neighbors, set a watch on the COW while in the pas ture. with the result that the mys. tery was cleared when the snake was killed.
 The COW had separated herself from the rest of the herd and came toward the barn. It was near milk. ing time. and the farmer thought nothing of it. as she. as well as the rest. was in the habit of coming home about that hour. What was his sur prise to see her stop near a clump of blackberry bushes. out of which the snake glided and ran to meet her. It looked as though the two net by some prearranged appointment.
 When Hiram Perry. one of the old. est farmers In Pinc Brook, saw the snake and heard Skadowski's story. he said that he had thought 1t was a snake doing the milking all along He claimed that that particular breed of snakes was getting very scarce in Jersey now. but that formerly they were plentiful.
 T believe that the milking of a COW by a snake is one of the rarest things that ever happens. and that conditions must be just right for it to happen In fact. if there should b. a hundred more milk snakes in that pasture. and hundred crws were tO pasture there. 1t might reYer occur again.

we gain efficiency and skill. OF course,
every attempt to perform our whole
duty is liable to result in some fric-

Those who are alarmed at the
squabbles that exist, seem to forget
that the race has not discovered any
way to make progress without these
conflicts. II any comrade knows OF
a way to advance without the heat
and friction that has always marked
every inch Of forward movement, he
ought to speedily disclose the method.
If no one knows of any way to avoid
these manifestations, then all should
present the very best argument pos,
sible in support Of the side he favors.
Surely, almost all desire the very best
possible, and If you are in the right,
] do not doubt that you must triumph
at last.
But loud lamentations will not gain
adherents TO your cause; neither will

in store for you to indulge these follies.
Come cheerfully, opd boldly to the
task, and IL you cannot have your way
just now, wait and work for IL. Your
cheerfulness, your persistence and your
faith will gain you hearers, even among
those who now oppose you. No victory
was ever won by retreating or sulking
