Dispute over possessory right to l6O acres of excess" land in District No. 2 eliminated in lively~shooting af- fray last Sunday. The participants were J. l.. Mcbride, H. w. Hagerman, councilman of the city of San Bernar- dino. aud George A. Peacock.
 Hagerman bought a claim to 16O acres from l.. Bass some time ago. Mcbride occupies adjoining land and it is said that he recently laid claim as a squatter to so acres of Hager- mans t60 Last Sunday Hagerman went to the land to set stakes for ditches. accompanied by Peacock, who carried a shotgun with which to shoot rabbits. Mcbride came out to them and ordered them off, and after some sharp words he retired out of shotgun range and suddenly opened fire on them with a revolver, which Mir. flag erman describes as of monstrous size.
 After Mcbride had fired twice, Pea cock got into action with the shotgun and fired four charges of No. s shot at Mcbride, peppering him in the face and breast and disturbing his aim with the six-shooter. Peacock only had four shells and when those were exhausted he and Hagerman took to the brush under lively fire from Mcbride. flag erman says Mcbride freq IS shots and some of them passed uncomfortably close.
 According to Hagerman's account, Mcbride rounded him up 1n the brush and threatened to kill nrm unless he should abandon claim to the land, and under duress he then and there re- nounced his claim. He says he shall not go near the land again until his legal right to it is established, and if Mcbride is allowed to romp around with guns and shoot up people, he will remain in San Bernardino county for good
 Mcbride went to Holtville and had the shot picked out of his hide, and then he was arrested on a charge of assault to murder.
 Peacock, who had n7 expectation of getting into a gun-ight, says he is glad now that he didn't have buckshot shells. Not having them. he did not kill Mcbride, and the bird shot served to rattle Mcbride and save the lives of Hagerman and himself
 Mcbride was arraigned before Jus tice Webb, at Holtville, and after tell ing his story of the affray, was held in S100 bail for trial in the Superior Court on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill

Austrian Plans May Bring About
 Conflict
RAILROAD IS BEING BUILT
Backing Down of Austria From Any Attempt To Aid In Settlement of the Macedonian Problem Looks
 Dark For European Peace.

St Petersburg. February 16.-Baron von Aehrenthafs announcement of the deter mination of Austria to build a railroad through Novipasar as a connecting link for the Austrian line through Bosnia with the Turkish line to Salonika and the an- nouncement of the German foreign office of It's financial support to this plan have ieft no illusions here regarding the fate or the agreement looking to joint action in the Balkans negotiated by Emperor Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph at Muerzsteg in the autumn of 1903, which was the groundwork of the programme of reforms in Macedonia.
 The attitude of the Russian foreign office, as learned through an inspired press, is that the agreement should be abrogated. as it has already been vio- lated in spirit by the Austrian foreign minister's efforts to extend and consoli- date tae Austrian sphere of influence by a private bargain with the Sultan for the construction of the railroad. Nego- tlations are still being conducted to the end of inducing Austria to with draw her railroad scheme, but no hope of their success is held ont. on either the Austrian or the Russian side. The principal efforts at present are being devoted to arranging a new grouping of the political powers, it being thought here that Russia and Great Britain might enter into an agreement for joint action in Macedonia and that these two mowers would be supported by France and per- haps Italy.
 The defection of such an important power as Austria, which on account of her geographical position shared with Russia the leading role in the efforts to settle the Macedonian problem, rem ders the outlook dark.
 The Russian ambassador 10 Turkey, M znoN1eh', ata spstby audience n the Sultan on Friday, submitted Russia's ob- jections to the construction of the pro- posed railroad which it is confidently expected n~r~ will result in the postpone ment Of tfe Austrian project.
 The impression that Austria is acting with the full cognizance and support of Germany which has been confirmed by formal statements given out by German government officials, has resulted in an outburst of anger against that country affecting all circles of the Russian press and public. This antagonism is felt with especial force in the army, where it is believed Teutonic influences are back of Turkish activity on the Perso- Russian frontier, which again has assumed a men acing phase.

YELLOW FEVER ON
 BOARD A STEAMER
QUARANTINE OFFICIALS TAKE pRoPERsecTloN. AT GALVESTON
 AND NO TROUBLE IS ANTicI-
 PATED.

Galveston, February 16.-on the steam CT Crispen, which arrived in the roads, three miles out from Galveston, today at noon, there were two cases of yellow fever. The two men affected are Third Engineer Davis and Third Offer Pritch- ard. Relative to the cases Dr. J. H. Flor ence, state quarantine officer, made the following statement:
 "The ship is anchored in the roads three miles out from the docks, is we'll isolated and thoroughly guarded. The ship was fumigated as far as possible and precau- tion is being taken to prevent any spread of the disease. The temperatures os the officers and entire crew will be taken twice daily, and close watch will be kept on the ship. The vessel will not be allowed to come to port until all pos sible danger is passed The ships sur geon advised us that during the passage to Galveston five members of the crew recovered. Tn captain of the ship and the ships surgeon were rendering every aid and have offered no objections to the quarantine precautions that have been in- stituted.
 "The fact that the disease is from Bra gil is a favorable point for the Brazilian yellow fever is not regarded as virulent as other types of the disease. A trained nurse was sent to the ship to care for the men, one of whom is quite sick"
 This afternoon pr. Florence invited Dr.. Corpul. United States marine hospital sur geon; Dr. Truehart city health physi- clans, and pr. Cox, county health of fieer to go to the ship and inspect the cases. They all concurred in the diag- nosis reached by pr. Florence.

DEAD MERCHANT
 SHOT BY ASSASSIN
POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS SEEN TO ENTER THE OFFICE ABOUT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING.

Reading, Pa, February 16-The police authorities and Coroner Strasser have reached the conclusion that Lewis B. Clawson, who was found in the office of his shirt factory yesterday with bull let hole in his temple, was the victim of an assassin. Clawson did not regain com sciousness, dying a few hours after be- ing found.
 The police officials are searching for a young man who was seen to enter Claw sons office about the time the shooting is thought to have occurred, and who left the building hurriedly a short time later.
 It was at first thought that Ciawson had committed suicide, but the fact that five chambers of the revolver which was found in the office were empty, and that three bullet marks were found in the room led the authorities to believe that it was a cold-booded murder

ANNA COULD WILL
 REMARRY BONI
COUNTS SISTER GIVES OUT IN FORMATION THAT THE COUPLE WILL BE REUNITED FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILDREN,

Paris, February 15.-(special) )--The Countess Stanislas De Castellane, who was the Cuban heress Miss Terry, made an interesting statement today. The countess said:
 It is virtually arranged that Anna Gould will renarry Count Bonifaee De Castellane. Anna has found that since her divorce she Is not received anywhere in the best French society, and she has had to put up with second-rate persons in the American colony. Her unfortunate intimacy with the Prince De Sagan has ruined her everywhere in Europe socially Her remarriage with Count Boni will re- instate her in aristocratic society; more over, her sons future is a matter which she nor Count Boni can neglect"
 Countess Stanislas, who is Boni's sister, in-law, states that the marriage will be purelN formal and that the ACastellanes will live together in name only.
 The correspondent telephoned Anna Gould this afternoon, but she was coy.
