SAYS LORENZO DOW

First and Second wards; and in
the wards where the men live
who work at the factories on the

greatest.
1.-THE people have signified by
their votes their unwillingness to
donate anything to the Tacoma
Railway & Power company, and
they are now determined that a
line shall be built across the flats
and, il necessary, that the mat

Declaring that the result of
the election yesterday really
meant a big victory for the peo-
pie, Lorenzo Dow, prosecuting
attorney of Pierce county and
president of the Tidefiat Carline
club, issued the following state
ment to the Times today:
while the bonds were defeat
ed by the very close vote of ap-
proximately two hundred, yet it
really is a magnificent victory for
those in favor of the bonds. This
shows a large majority are
against giving away to the Ia

hard and bitter fight.

CITYS FATE
YET IN DOUBT

Ell PASO, Dec. 31.-Although
the fate of Ojinaga is still in
doubt, dispatches this morning in
dicated that the town will fall
into rebel hands before nightfall.
Ammunition is low, but the fed
eral garrison is still offering des-
perate resistance against over
whelming odds. Advices show
that the casualties are heavy, es-
pecially on the federal side. The
defenders, realizing. that to be
captured would moan execution,
are fighting fiercely.

CONFEDERATES
WILL Be SHORT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec.
31.-Many confederate veterans
will be disappointed tomorrow
for instead of receiving $40
check from the state of Missouri
as the pension promised quarter
Iy, only 1883 will be received
by each old soldier, for their is
deficit of $12,374.40 today. When
the confederate pension act was
passed by the legislature at the
last session, only $4,000 was
appropriated.

BACK;
DROPS AUTO
CASE

Returning from Ashford today,
where he had been attending to
personal business and not noun
tain climbing, as had been re-
ported, Coroner Ashton began
vigorously to work on the case
of Thomas Connolly, a hobo who
died in the city jail six nights
ago. Connolly died when asleep,
and the police and others accept
ed the version that he had sue
cumbed to heart disease.
Coroner Ashton asserted to-
day that he was through with the
case of Albert Fedderson, the
12-year-old boy who was run
down and killed by an automo-
bile Christmas eve, and asserted
that enemies were trying to villify
him.
He announced that he had
summoned DR.. Edwin james to
the inquest and had dismissed
him without calling on him. He
said that DR.. James testimony
was unimportant. DR.. james had
previously stated that the Fed
derson boy had been struck
down within 10 minutes before
he was brought to st. Joseph's
hospital, as opposed to the state
ment of Theodore Eggers, who
picked the lad up, that the body
was covered with dried and clot-
ted blood and that the accident
had occurred a half hour before.
LAS a matter of fact, Eggers
doesn't know whether it was his
auto or someone else's that ran
down the boy" said Coroner
Ashton.

All yesterday and last night
the rebel forces, numbering 5000
men, advanced steadily from the
direction of Lamula and Multao,
gradually capturing all the out
works erected by the federals, and
at dark they had drawn Gordon
tightly around three sides of the
town. Federal deserters crossing
the Ria Grande during the night
said that dead and wounded lay
about the little town, many of the
wounded having lain without
medical attention for SO hours.
