that it is dangerous to say that d. is a
CRATER; but there would remain the
unsettled question as to whether or not
q. were a guilty man. 'tRobin Hood
of Sherwood Forest"G is believed to
have been a man of uncommon pluck
and nerve" but If he had been a
State dispensary or a bank official he
would have lined his pockets with
stolen money.
The question is, shall all questions
connected with the late State dispen-
sary be forever settled by shootin' and
%cussin'? About a year ago, or longer,
one of the former officials of the dis
pensary and one of the ~dispensary in
yestigators had a quarrel on the streets
of Columbia. Had one of them killed
the other what would have been the
inference? Would the survivor have
proved that he was telling the truth,
and that the other was lying. or would
he have merely proved hat he was the
handler with his pistol and the better
shot -?
A man may be honest, and yet timid;
or he may be honest and brave. At
the same time the converse of the
proposition is true-a man may be dis
honest and yet very courageous. If all
~rascals were towards the public would
have less trouble in protecting itself
from them. Benedict Arnold was a
great rascal, but he was not afraid.
1t is our earnest wish that every man
under charges connected with the late
State dispensary may be able to estab-
fish his innocence-not merely by the
verdict Of a jury, but in such a way
that he may convince good men that
he has been the victim of false appear
ances. But let's have the facts!

TOO MUCH STRONG LANGUAGE.

During the last week much strong
language has been hurled in Columbia,
in connection with the late State dis
pensary.
Strong language is interesting, but
not important. Some editor who has
been denounced by a lawyer may feel
a call to go and get a gun, but what
has gun-play to do with the subject ?
Suppose that you charge u. with be-
ing a CRATER, and u. promptly and
coolly shoots the top of your head off Z?
The performance would establish u. 8
reputation as a ~marksman; that u. is a
man of a certain sort of courage, and

The Lawyer Outwitted.

Joseph H. Choate recently said at a
lawyers dinner: I'VE lawyers couldn't
do better than resolve on the new year
tn be gentler in our cross-examinations
Rudeness in cross-examinations never
pays. This is a truth l once saw proven
in a damage suit. A cross.examining
lawyer shouted at a witness in ~overalls
"'You there in the overalls, how
much are you paid for telling un-
truths?'
Less than you are, the witness re-
torted, 'or you would be in o~veralls,
too.

A Wise Drummer.

An Irishman who was travelling in
England for a dry goods firm was once
showing a line of sample dress goods to
a merchant who was woefully slow in
making up his mind.
He handled them and re-handled
them, until the commercial traveller
was at his patience end. Finally the
merchant asked if the goods shown
were fashionable.
"They were when / first began to
show them to you," replied the trav-
eler, "but I'll be hanged if ] can tell
you now"
1t is said that the merchant was so
pleased with this answer that he par
doned the rudeness of it and became a
steady customer. Elk.

INDIANS ARE VICTORS
IN BUFFALO BILLS SHOW
Defeat the Cowboys in an Ex-
citing Struggle That Evokes
Plaudits of Crowd

Record breaking crowds attended the
afternoon and evening performances of
Buffalo Bilrs wild west show yesterday
and in the afternoon the large number
of children was especially noticeable.
Not only were the hearts of the chill
dren thrilled by the exciting incidents
of the show, but the older ones as we'll
intently watched every feature. The
exhibition of craftsmanship by Colonel
Cody himself is feature of the show.
Possibly the greatest amount of real
excitement of the entire wild west show
Is furnished by the football game be-
tween the cowboys and Indians. In the
afternoon the Indians were victorious
by Score of to 1. but in the evening
the cowboys won by the same score.
Lovers of horse racing may enjoy this
form Of sport. for there is an abund-
ance of it at every performance. There
is plenty of rough riding, too. as well as
lassooing. The wild west show would
not be complete without the fight be-
tween the Indians and the rangers. and
the spectators are given an excellent
idea of the early life of the emigrants

SE6D4AL DASFALIh ~ OA1&A1
STOCKTON, Oct. 1O.-The removal Of
the remains Of Ernest V. Barre from
the Stockton state hospital today to
his former home in Los Angeles, where
he was among the prominent and most
promising young men of that city, has
of skill which resulted in the victim
going insane, and, after four years of
the existence OF grinning idiot, his
death IN a madman's cell.
Just as Barre had gained the height
Of his career and a few months after
he had married the daughter of prom
inent family Of that city. huge car
buncle grew on the upper part Of his
throat
It IS said the attending physician In
serted a fluid into the carbuncIe, and
within a few days the sufferer went
into a stupor, from which he never raj
lied He soon showed signs of idiocy,
and although specialists attended him
his case was soon. pronounced one that
was incurable
Barre was then sent to Napa. where
he was treated for many months. Final
", in December last, he was brought to
Stockton institution, where his mother

TO BRING SUSPECT
FROM TEXAS JAIL
Governor Gillett Believed to
Have Authorized Action
in Durham Case
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


SAN JOSE. Oct. 10.-District Attor-
ney A. M. Free of Santa Clara county
and Governor GilIett had n confer
ence today I'm regard to the case of
William Hatfield, the man who has
been held in the sherman, Tcxns, coun-
ty JaiI on suspicion that he Is James
c. Dunham, the murderer, wanted here
for crimes committed in 1895. II is
said that Free has been instructed to
go ahead and instruct Deputy United
States Marshal Lee MacAfee to bring
the prisoner to California.
Sheriff Langford and Deputy Sheriff
Burlington of this county have just re-
turned from trip TO Texas. where
they went a couple of weeks ago to
Identify the prisoner. Burlington, who
had slight acquaintance with Durham
II years ago, claimed that the prisoner
was not Durham, although he was the
murderers counterpart.
Since the return of the officers 1t
has been learned that Dunham's body
was marked by peculiarly shaped
birthmark, located about four inches
to the left of the navel. Hatfield
body is also marked by this blemish,
1t is believed now that Burlington and
Langford made a mistake and that Hat
field is really Dunham and deceived the
local officers in a most subtle manner
