Wuihinotn, Jan. 11. After attempt
' Inc to radOca an appropriation of HBO,
000 for Improvement of th Sacramento
river, because of a demand for econ
omy, tlie river and harbor committee
v today Redded (o grant the amount, be
cause under the California law money
appropriated by the state for joint atate
and federal work will be lout to the
government unless the whole amount
' appropriated. , .
It WM at first decided to tie' only
160,000, while a like amount of the
a tale's money would .be used. Legal
advisers of the rivers and harbors com
mittee, however, decided, that the Call
fornla money -would not be available
unless the entire 'amount appropriated
by the government was used.
For 'the San Joaquin channel project'
It was doclded to appropriate only the
money necessary for. scurlng right of
way for .rectification of ' the channel.!
Thl action waa taken because It will
take at least a year to secure them, and
next year a further appropriation will
bf.' made for the work.
It la apparent now that the estimates
for the Columbia river and other proj
ected coast Improvements, as well as
those In many other sections of. the
country, will fair beneath the commit
tee's pruning. .
Chairman Alexander assured the
members of the committee that the ap
propriations recommended by the ' en

Shortly before 1 o'clock thl morning

As Stahl's hands started up his gun

The highwayman staggered a moment
and then dropped to the floor at the
corner of the bar. HI left hand wa
in plain eight, but the right one which
held hi gun was hidden around the cor
ner of th bar. Stahl walked around
the stove to get a sight of the man's
right hand, all the time keeping his gun
pointed at him. As he got a view of
the other hand be saw that H had

man was dying fast The only other
word the highwayman uttered wa,
"Mother," and within two minutes of
the time the shot waa fired he was
dead.
Picking up the other gun, Stahl ran
outside, thinking that the man might
have a confederate, but not a sound
could be heard outside" the building.
Coming back, Stahl put the second gun
into the hands of one of the men In
side the room and together they i
searched the aides of Sullivan'- Gulch
nearby thinking that they might find I
spmeone. No trace of any other man
could be found, however, and It Is be
lieved the man worked alone.
"Had the man been experienced at
the holdup business I am afraid that I
wouldn't be alve today," said Stahl
this morning. -
"My plain clothes fooled him, though,
and he did not expect that I was bring-
tng agurrout as I started to put up
my hands. He had the gun pointed
squarely at me and It was up to me
to shoot and shoot quickly." I
The bullet entered on the right side.'
It pierced the lung and death came In- I

the shooting were J. F. Cawwood of
