lam F. Sands, has returned here from
Ocos, whittier he went personally TO IN
vestigate the alleged attack on the Amer
lean consul there by the Mexican consul.
1t is said the American consul fears
further attack and declares that the Qua

tect him, alleging that Guatemala tears
Mexico may msconstrue any step taken
against Mexican citizens
The Mexican minister to Guatemala,
Senior Gamboa, it is said, claims that II

Guatemala they will serve as an excuse
for a serious attack upon MeNicans re-
\ siding at Ocos and cause-further com
plications. Cases are now pending for
the redress of Mexicans who are alleged
to have been i'll treated by Guatemalan
officials and whose punishment Mexico
has demanded.
The activity displayed by Mr.. Sands has
resulted in Judge San Marcas being sent
to Ocos to institute a judicial inquiry into
affairs there. and it Is believed this Will
be greatly to the benefit of Americans.
owing to recent disturbances in Hon
duras, the state department at Washing
ton has advised the legation here that any
Americans found to be engaged in fill
clustering expeditions will be dealt with
severely, as the United States govern
ment Is determined to prevent strife In
Central America.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Jan. 1.-Allan An
derson, q fireman, is dying and two
other young men, members of the city
fire department, are In the hospital as
tho result of a fight today In the Jap
anese quarter with an overwhelming

and T. Mcdonald, were passing a jap
anese store when Frost stumbled and fell
hard against the plate glass window
front The glass smashed and the frag-
ments were still falling on the sidewalk
when a score of Japanese appeared from
the inside and rushed at the trio of
whites. The firemen were in uniform,
with brass buttons and official caps, but
the japanese knitted them furiously.
Within three minutes there were dozens
of Japanese In the fight, all trying to get
at the white men. The latter were borne
to the ground and cut and slashed until
the sidewalk and front of the store were
covered with blood.
Police Slow to Act
The police station is Tess than three
blocks away, but 1t was a quarter of an
hour before armed officers arrived at the
scene Of the fight. Only four arrests
were made, as nearly all the Japanese
scattered at sight of the police.
His two companions thought Anderson
dead, and had been fighting over his
PROSTATE body when the police arrived.
Anderson's face was marked with many
slashes, up and down and from one side
to the other From the back of his ear
to his shoulder was a slit two inches
deep that had only missed the jugular
vein by fraction of an inch. His body
also was stabbed in half dozen places
The other two men were cut and bleed
ing from wounds on their faces and arms
All were taken to the hospital. Three
doctors worked over them for hours sew
ing up their wounds.

HER PARENT


Henry Moffett. a ranchman living
near the town of DeBeque in this
county was arrested during the
night, brought 10 Grand Junction and
lodged in the Mesa county Jail to
await hearing on the awful charge
of incest preferred against him by
his daughter Bessie Moffett, a girl
of about II years.
1t is alleged that the father has
wronged his daughter on several oc-
casions. The mother of the girl, it
is said. will be one of the witnesses
for the prosecution.
Moffett will probably be given a
preliminary hearing this afternoon
and If the evidence is found suffic-
lent, will be arraigned in district
court at the present session. He de-
clares that he is innocent of the
meinous charge. He is man of mid

boarded with the family before he
found employment at the hotel, and
he says that nearly all of his earn
ings went to the family after he took
position at the hotel. Finally. he
says, the Lescanos became angry at
him and soon the charge was pre-
ferred by the father.
Yesterday on the witness stand the
hotel owner told of the Lescano girl
repeatedly coming to the hotel to see
Stevenson and to ask him for money.
Stevenson seemed greatly worried by
her continual visits. and on numer-
GUS occasions went out a rear door
to avoid her and other members of
the family.
The action of the Lescano family
in leaving the city and declining to
return to appear against Stevenson
has weakened the prosecution in
more ways than one.
Old Stevenson may be guilty of
having had intimate relations with
the girl, and he may II. be. The
Sentinel would not make conjecture
in this matter But, where the COM
planning witnesses refuse to appear
against him. then those who have
taken an interest in the case think
that the old man is entitled to the
benefit of the doubt. 1t mas not been
proven by evidence that Stevenson is
guilty.

FACE ASSAULT CHARGE.
Witnesses Testify That Dockery
and McClay Gave M0OrehOuse
Hard Beating.

Made insane by blows said to have
been struck by employees OF the Lacka-
wanna Railroad Company, Clarence b.
Moorehouse, 22 years old, of Valley
road and Cross street, West Orange, was
unable to appear against his alleged as
sailants before Judge Davis in the
Court of Quarter Sessions today, where
Edward Dockery and Alexander Nc
Clay were placed on trial on a charge
of assault and battery.
This trial will be followed by heavy
suit for damages in the civil courts,
brought by the young mans father, DIR.
James Moorehouse.
The young man was on a Lacka-
wanna train May 7 last, running from
New York to the Oranges, and there
was trouble between him and the two
railroad men soon after the train had
been on its way over the ticket Moore
house held. Immediately after he re-
ceived the beating he was sent to the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane
In South Orange avenue. Last election
day he was released, and Is now IN the
practically all right now.
Many of the passengers on the train
testified that the defendants struck the
young man several blows. Among
them was Miss Mary E. Baker, who
was on her way home
Dockery, a brakeman, was collecting
the tickets, and Miss Baker said:
"As Dockery punched the ticket
faly a
himself and then Dockery punched him
on the head"
Ibid he hit Dockery2" asked former
State Senator William D. Edwards, OF
the Lackawanna, who defended the
men.
HE did not" was the answer.
Miss Baker, who is pretty stenog-
rapher was asked whether she did not
believe in woman's rights because she
failed at the time to give her name, and
she said that If she had been man
she would have given her name.
Mr.. and Mrs. William G. Paret, of 6s
William street, East Orange, also testi-
fed that they saw the railroad men as
sault young Moorehouse, Mrs. Paret
stating:
ut seemed to me as if Dockery would
never quit"
How did he strike himP" asked Sec
ond Assistant Prosecutor Frederick r
Lehlbach.
"Very, very hard" answered Mrs
Paret, sympathetically, with his CLOSED
fist and the ticket punch in his hand.
After Ernest Heck had testified to Tho
assault DIR. Harry ID. Matthews anc
DR.. Walter Stiles told about the 90
riousness of Moorehouse's condition a
the time, DR.. Stiles, who is second as
sistant physician at the County Hospi
tai, saying that he suffered from acut'
