LIVELY POLITICAL
FIGHT IN EUREKA


Eureka, Cal, June 17.-Eureka's
municipal fight eliminates today in
the election, which is proceeding in
all parts Of the city with great yigor
on both sides. The anti-saloon ele-
ment did not demonstrate in the COM
paign, having prepared an ordinance
to stop gambling and restricting the
saloons.
1t is not the intention of the anti
saloon forces to submit the ordinance
to the council but to place it before
the people, invoking the initiative
and referendum. The voters will pass
upon the merits of dual telephone
system. e. F. Sharpe has made an
application for franchise in the in
terest of capital to install an indie
pendent telephone system. The Pa
cific telephone and telegraph com
pany is making a vigorous fight
against any duplication of the bust
ness, claiming that dual system is
useless.

CAUSE OF KINGLAND'S
 TRAGEDY GIVEN
John l.. White Believed Webb Was Too Friendly With His Divorced
 Wife-The Details.

Busters store con- versing with some friends, wben the shooting occurred. He had been in town about an hour and came here to do some trading.
 According to the statement of those present, White came up the street and, without saying word, fired two shots at Webb. After firing the sec ond shot Webb fell and White fired two more shots, all the bullets taking effect in the victims body. When a physician arrived he pronounced the man dead, two of the bullets having struck vital spots.
 The cause of the tragedy, it is said, is due to the attentions recently paid by the deceased to the divorced wife of White, from whom he had been
 
 legally separated about six months ago. It is said that Webb and the former wife of White were to be mar ried in a short time. which so in censed White as to cause him to take the life of the farmer, as there had been no other trouble or misunder- standing between the two as far as known.
 Webb was about 3S years of age.
