Especial Correspondence.)

LOS ANGELES, April 18.-The
undying devotion Of an ill-treated
wife, the chase of a bandit
through three countries, over g.
600 miles, and his final escape,
form the latest chapter, unfolded
here, of a story that had its first
setting in the wilds of Canada.
Dave and Bill Haney were
brothers, wild, untamed Califor-
MIA boys who terrorized the neigh
bors in their youth. Horse steal
ing and shooting escapades final
ly landed them behind the tars.
On their release they turned their
steps to the great northwest and
the trackless land of Canada.
One night the Canadian Pacific
Police. were let loose on the trail
of the fugitive bandit. Relent-
lessly they tracked him and the
chase led to Los Angeles. On
American soil the second chapter
of the drama was written.

THIS MEETING
FOR MEN ONLY

The expected row at the Jeffer-

not come off, so the boys are GO
ing to try to have it tonight. A
meeting will be held at Nineteenth
and Stevens, and a warm time is
expected.
Last week 1t was reported some
one was going to tell about the
record of H. j. McGregor as presi-
dent of the old defunct match fac
tory that sold stock here years
ago. When the meeting was call
ed, however, McGregor was there,
and with him was Mrs. McGregor.
The anti-McGregor fellows did not
want to raise row while his wife
was there, so no reference was
made to the sore spot.
The citizens, however, are de-
termined to ventilate this matter,
and for the meeting tonight large
posters have been put up all
around the district calling the
meeting and announcing that it is

OHaAN oiGHO, Sdi', Apih To-.
When the little sloop Jennie The
lin, the old Canadian pirate ship
and original of Jack London's
Sea Wolf" sailed into San Diego
harbor after her last trip to the
Tiburon islands, in the Gulf of
Lower California, she brought
with her another hair-raising story
to add to the long list of yarns
that have already been told of the
dingy old craft.
This time it was the cook,
known as Mexican Joe, whose
blood dripped on the decks of the
old pirate craft. In drunken
orgie he was seized by the Yaqui
Indians, the natives of the Tiburon
islands, and as a penalty for some
imagined wrong, both of his ears
were cut from his head by Chief
Jose, the leader and most power
full of the tribe on the Patos is
land.
The Jennie Thelin sailed for the
Tiburon islands-after cargo of
guano. She landed at the island
of Patos where five Yaquis were
secured to assist in loading the
vessel. They came aboard, naked
and defiant, with their long black
hair streaming down their backs,
and helped the crew of the Jennie
in filling her hold with the chief
product of the island. Before the
cargo was half on board, the cook,
accompanied by the remainder of
the crew and the hostile Indians,
went ashore and secured a demi-
john of the fierce rum of the Next
cans.
A long, glorious spree ensued,
and as the liquor inflamed the
blood of the Yaquis, they became
ugly and dangerous. Their wrath
finally fell upon poor Joe, and with
no warning of his fate, he was
seized and dragged to a nearby
thicket, where a brief consultation
vas held. 1t was decided that his
airs should pay the penalty, and
With a bowie knife, Chief Jose
performed the act.
Panic stricken, the crew fled tol
heir boat, forcing Captain Palmer
o sail out to sea. When the sail
ors had been quieted, the Jennie
rhelin again poked her nose to-
ward the islands, but the treach-
erous Indians had disappeared.
The Yaqui Indians have been

after leaving this port, although

,ectors, which were supposed to
nave been the weapons of the ILL
'ated shippers of the World.
All attempts to subdue these
Yaquis have resulted in
failures. On the main island Of
riburon they have never been con-
luered. The many poisonous

Maklnu Salt Lake Fresh.

A remarkable engineering feat Is be-
ing considered in Utah, the aim being
to convert a portion Of Salt lake into
a body of fresh water. This Is an an
cient dream long deemed impossible
OF fulflment, but the present plan
gives promise Of proving successful.
If it is, then will be witnessed a trans
formation as complete as has ever
been seer upon the wastes OF the
west, where irrigation has converted
barren deserts into fruitful gardens.
The plan Of the engineers Is to build
a dam across the eastern extremity
Of the lake where the principal streams
that feed the body flow in. This dam
is to be several feet higher than the
present water level and the design Is
to divide the lake into two parts. The
theory is that the water will flow into
the first lake, rise to a level with the
dam, and then tumble into the other
section. The water in the first division
will retain it's freshness, while that
in the lower lake will continue to be
briny as at present. If the plan proves
successful it is believed that the terri
tory adjacent to the lake a be made
highly attractive, giving 1t infinite pos
sibilities as a summer resort.

ings, much more Is necessary. A
regular inside carpenters foreman Is
paid from S. to So a day; and after a
very few years, If an opening occurs,
he is apt to be made superintendent
Of the particular plant he works for at
a regular salary of 1000 to $2,5G0, or
even $4,000 annually. This position,
however, Is about the end of possible
advancement at inside work, except
he should become a member Of the
firm.
A building foreman who occupies a
still higher position should have q
good working acquaintance with &C.
ometry and mensuration, excavating,
snoring and pilfng, footings and
foundations, the mechanics Of carpen-
try, joinery, stair building, builders
hardware, roofing, mill design and also
know something Of building stone,
stone masonry, concrete construction,
lathing, plastering, thing, brickwork,
roofing, sheet metal work, freproof-
ing, etc.
All this sounds like a formidable
list-reads like taking a college
course, you may think, but will not be
so difficult for an ambitious boy; for
evening study and practical applica-
ton of what he has learned at every
opportunity during his work, II per-
sisted in for years, will enable him to
acquire it all and to be fully compe-
tent to take the responsible position
when 1t Is offered to him.
. You can see the advancement from
here on as straight and clear as can
be; for the building foreman on large
and important work, who Is paid

skilled carpenter Is quite competent

Unioue Old French Village.

Living so much off&the beaten track,
the village Of Port Lesne in the Jurs,
department Of France is visited by
but few from the outside world, and
consequently this tiny community Of
men and women Of color Is but little
known. It is not a large village, for
its inhabitants number but little more
than a hundred, but every one Is
either black, or Of copper color or
palish yellow. 1t owes its origin to
the fact that about a century ago the
famous negro chief, Toussaint-L'Ouv-
erture, was brought from Hayti and
imprisoned in Fort de Joux. Many
Of his friends, all negroes, followed
him and encamped near his prison
on the bank of the little river Loue.
From that encampment grew the vii
lage Of Port Lesne, and when Tous-
saint-L'Ouverture died more than q
hundred years ago his friends decided
to remain in France. The passing OF
years and intermarriages have trans
formed the settlement into a French
village Of colored folk, all Of whom
have the vote. Port Lesne Is thus
probably the most unique spot In all
France.
