were guarding $500 sheep. The raid
ers came upon the wagon on the south
side of the creek in which the two
herders were sleeping. These men were
escorted TO the road and told to leave
the country under penalty of death.
A volley fired into the wagon on the
opposite side OF the stream resulted
in the deaths of Emge and Lazier. Evil
IDENTIFY Allemand was reused by the ap-
proach of the raiders. as his body was
found fully 20 feet from the wagon
where he had been cut down by a rifle
ball. The wagon had been soaked in
oil and fired, the bodies being cremated.
About 80 sheep were killed.
All telephone wires were cut and

each offered $1,000 reward for the cap
ture of the raiders.

Ii. S. Bates Leaves to Bring
Shippers to Harmonious
Understanding

The independent line of sailing ves-
sells operated by Bates & Cheese
brough has attracted the attention or
the shippers in the southern part of
the state as well as those in San Fran
cisco.
H. S. Bates left for Los Angeles last
night and as part of his mission he
will endeavor to bring the shipping
interests of the entire state to a har-
monious understanding. While the
San Francisco businessmen have al
ready gone on record in favor of an
independent line, Los Ageles will be
given an opportunity to cooperate.
AS an .inducement, it is understood
that Bates will offer TO make San
Pedro port of call for his sailing
ships. The Sewell is already loaded
TO capacity and viii sail from San
Francisco in about two weeks for New
York by way OF the Horn. The Acme.

Bates hopes to interest the Los An
geles shippers by offering a rate reach
ing from 35 to - cents per 100
pounds.
The large shipping interests at this
port are hopeful that much of benefit
to California will result from the visit
TO Panama OF Secretary Dickinson of
the war department. Representations
have been made to him from this
state that the Panama railroad is still
being used to the advantage of the
Hartman interests rather than for the
benefit OF the big shipping community

No rude alarms are in the land:
No bands set up their bIare:
No orators are on the stump
And beating up the air:
No torched professions fill the street
Our troubles to increase;
From politics we get a rest
This is the year of peace.
Our congressman have got a hold
Upon their lovely snap.
They do not have to break their necks
Or mingle in a scrap.
The president need not arise
To settle up his score.
He sits securely in the chair
At least for three years more.
And up and down the pleasant land.
In city or on farm.
The fall campaign comes not this year
To spread its wild alarm.
We do not have to work our brains
Or shed in haste our coats
While trying to determine how
It's best to cast our votes.
In some few states indeed they hold
A sideshow to be sure.
Though by the big three ring affair
It's very small and poor.
We go upon our way in peace.
No hint of any pest.
This is the off year in the game.
And so we get rest.
