About

in
Fear of Lynch Law in Denver Suicide of
Admiral Da Gama Diamonds In
California-Doable Stage Rob
bery Near Klamath.
Shamokin, Pa., June 28. Anthony
Paoli and John Tursick fought a duel
in the woods last night, using clubs
for weapons. Paoh is dying -from the
effect of his wounds, and Tursick
though badly hurt, managed to crawl
into the underorush, and has not yet
been found by the police. The prin
cipals were powerfully built young
men, and been suitors lor Kosioa
Dubach. The men met, and Tursick
dared Paoli to settle the dispute with
clubs, and they retired to the forest,
They selected oak sticks, and then
stripped to the waist. It was decided
to fight to the death. Friends of Paoli
who found him bleeding to death an
hour later, says he told the story of
the contest before lapsing into insen
sibility.
The men sparred ior a oriel time be
fore a blow was -struck, then iursiclc
landed one on Paoli's right shoulder,
fracturing it. He dropped his club, but,
dodging a blow ior his head, regained
possession of it, and continued with
his left hand. He struck Tursick in
the stomach, weakening him so that
for five minutes neither could deal
hard blows. They agreed to rest for
a few minutes, after which the duel
was continued by Tursick's striking
his opponent on the head knocking
him down. Tursick bent over him to
deal the fatal blow, when Paoli struck
him in the stomach. Paoli raised him
self to his knees and warded off a
number of blows until he was ex
hausted. Then Tursick struck him
on the head, knocking him insensible.
He regained consciousness soon after
ward, but could not raise his head,
which was terribly battered. When
Paoli was found, his opponent had
disappeared. A track of blood led to
the underbrush, after which all trace
of him was lost.
INDIGNANT AT THE DELAY.
Dilatory Course of the Turkish Govern
ment Condemned.
Constantinople, June 28. Repre
sentatives of the powers are continu
ing their efforts to induce the Turkish
government to give an explicit reply
to the note of the powers outlining the
reforms demanded for Armenia, and
foreign envoys are indignant at the
delay. It is thought the dilatory
course may result in causing the
powers to address another note to the
Turkish government in which they
will request a definite reply within a
fixed time to the demands already
made.
The British Mediterranean squadron
left Alexandria Tuesday, and steamed
north.
The Turkish government has re
ceived news of the defeat of two in
surgent bands in Macedonia. Steps
have been taken by the porte to sup
press all attempts at revolt, but it is
thought the. rebellion will spread to
all parts of Macedonia, and eventually
cause action upon the part of the
powers.
They Fear Lynch Law.
Denvek, June 28. Almost the en
tire police force was employed last
night in guarding the houses of eight
aldermen, who feared violence from
their constituents. An ordinance
granting reduction of 15 per cent, on
the schedule of water rates now in
force pissed the aldermen by a vote of
8 to 6, and this aroused the anger of
the people, who attended the council
meeting in force. The measure has a
clause which makes the rates fixed a
burden on the people for 15 vears.
Besides, it is claimed, the reduction is
not half what the public is entitled to
under the company's contract, which
calls for a reduction tVs ,v-.;-:i' to the
average rates charged in Chicago, St.
Louis and Cincinnati. Although much
harsh talk - is heard, no overt acts
against the aldermen have yet been
committed.
DA GAMA'S LAST CATTLE.
When Overwhelmed he Committed Sui
cide. Buenos Ayres, June 28. From one
of the rebels who escaped capture by
government troops after the insurgent
defeat near Santa Ana, Rio Grande do
Sul, Brazil, details of the last battle in
which Admiral Da Gama took part,
and of his suicide, have been secured.
The admiral, at the head of a force of
400 sailors, was engaged by a" brigade
of government soldiers numbering
1200. The battle lasted fiva hours,
and at least 300 men were killed or
wounded. Some of the insurgents ad
vised Da Gama to retreat, but he re
fused and they abandoned ihm. With
a handful of men the admiral repulsed
five charges of the government cay-
al
tlry. but the struggle was hopeless,
an
ind, seeing that all was lost, Da Gama
ordered a retreat and cut his own
throat.
Da Gama's body was taken to Santa
Ana by the government troops and
there horribly mutilated. The throats
of many of the captured rebels were
cut by the victorious soldiers.
California Diamonds.
Washington, June 28. Dr David
T. Day, chief of mining statistic di
vision of the geological survey, has
completed his annual report, from
which the following, relating to the
Pacific coast, is taken:
"W. P. Carpenter, nf r-.-.cerville,
Cal., who has from Uiii .o lime re
ported the finding of diamonds in auri
ferous gravel, under the usual con
dition of their occurrence on the
Pacific coast, has lately obtained two
crystals, one weighing over seven
grains troy, and the other six, of
rounded form and rough surface, each
nearly one-fourth of an inch in diam
eter, but faintly tinted, the larger
with a greenish shade and the smaller
with a pale yellow. . As many 40 or 50
small diamonds have been taken from
the gravel at this place at times in the
past, but, since the stamp mills have
been employed, little is found but
crushed fragments encountered in
panning up. ' "
both stages held up.
The Topsy'Grade Bobber This Time Stakes
a Doable Play.
Ashland, Or., June 28. The lone
highwayman, who has been industri
ously plying his vocation on the stage
route from Ager, Cal., to Klamath
Falls, just over the Oregon line, in a
Beries of robberies, now has five hold
ups to his credit executed during the'
three months, having made a double-
play last night, robbing both the east
and westbound stages.
The eastbound stage left Ager in the
alternoon at the usual time, and- when
the drivers were changed at Klamath
hot springs it was 9:20 o'clock, and
shower of rain had fallen. One pas
senger was aboard, H. V. Gates,
member of the Oregon legislature from
Washington county, and bound for
Klamath Falls on business. Nothing
happened until the stage had climbed
a long and tortuous grade, and was
nearly a mile beyond, when, at a quar
ter to 1 o'clock, a command came from
behind a tree at the side of the road
to halt and throw out tt e mail sacks,
The robber did not ask for the express
box, showing that he knew of Wells
Fargo having recently withdrawn their
service over the road.
When the down stage came along it
was halted within three feet of the
other stage, and the same procedure
gone through with. There were no
passengers in the second stage. The
robber had a horse close at hand, but
seemed to have no confederate. He
wore a cloth mask and talked without
any attempt to disguise himself. He
was of medium height. He was care
ful to keep out of sight though, it is
said, he could have been shot several
times if the passenger or driver had a
pistol. Only $3 was secured from Gates
ana in cents irotn the driver.
Let Revolutions Alone.
San Feancisco, June 28. Captain
William Davis, the mariner, whose
name has been connected with the
movement of filibusters toward the
Hawaiian island, declared that he has
aesolutely no connection with it. He
denies that he is in any way connected
with the schemers or involved in their
plan. He says he has had enough of
that sort of business, and that since
his affair in laading arms in the for
mer revolt he has let revolutions t
virely alone.
Sheep Herders Missing;.
Denver, June 28. A special to the
Times, from Albuquerque, N. M., says:
Pedro Perea, of Bernalillo, reports the
people of Algodones, a small Mexican
settlement north of here, greatly ex
cited over the mysterious disappear
ance of Pedro Lobalo and Maximo
Sandova, sheep herders, employed by
Francisco Archibeque. It is believed
the men have been murdered, as their
sheep were found in charge of a well
known sheep thief and desperado
named Garcia. Threats of lynching
Garcia have been made.
THE SOUTHERN HELD IP.
Train to Portland Stopped by Highway.
men Near Biddies.
Grant's Pass, Or., July 1. The
Southern Pacific overland, north
bound, was stopped tonight at 10:15
p. M., by three highwaymen, near
Riddles, about 30 miles south of Rose-
burg, and thoroughly robbed. Sticks
of dynamite were placed on the rail,
which disabled the engine.by blowing
the nanges oil the pony trucks, and
brought the train to a stop Taking
the fireman, two ot the highwaymen
proceeded to go through the train, and
every car, from the express car to the
rear Pullman was searched. Nothing
was obtained Irom the express car for
there was no treasure on board.
Ih the mail car better success was
met and the Portland-Tacoma-Seattle
Victoria (B C) registered sack rifled.
The passengers were also searched
pretty thoroughly, but just what suc
cess was met with is not known. One
highwayman took a hasty shot at Con
ductor Kearney, who was in charge of
the train, but no damage resulted. A
description of the men, or rather one
of them in particular, is given as,
height, 5 feet 11 inches, light complex
ion, light mustache, projecting and
high cheek bones. He wore about a
JNo. 8 shoe, with tacics in the bottoms.
Had on blue overalls. The description
of the other is that of a man about 5
feet 8 inches in height, but as he kept
in the background, a definite descrip
tion could not be had.
Superintendent Fields, of the South
ern iracinc, lost no tune, and in an
hour after learning Of the hold-up had
two parties on the way to the scene of
the robbery. A posse of officers was
hastily made up in Roseburg, and
started at once, and another of rough-and-ready
mountaineers started from
here. Both will reach the scene by
daylight. Every effort will be made
to capture the robbers. The men oi
the party started from here are thor
oughly familiar with every foot of the
ground in the neighborhood of the
robbery, and pretty good hopes are
entertained of capturing them.
The train was delayed several hours,
having been compelled to turn the en
gine around and go into Roseburg
backwards.
PAID THE PENALTY.
Dr. Buchanan, the Wife Murderer, Elec
trocuted.
Sing Sing, July 1. Dr Buchanan,
the wife-murderer, was electrocuted
this morning. Mrs. Buchanan, wife
of the condemned murderer, today
made an unsuccessful effort to induce
Governor Morton to commute her
husband's sentence to life imprison
ment. At 6 o'clock this morning the
woman sank on her knees and pleaded
for her husband's life; Grief almost
prevented her from speaking. Gover
nor Morton- was overcome, xears
stood in his eyes as he lifted her to her
feet, and told her he could not grant
her request.
The following dispatch was received
at the prison from New York.
"To Wardon sage, singsmg prison,
New York: The opinion of the attorney-general
is misleading, and
misstates the facts as to the appeal.
The Buchanan case is in the supreme
court of the United States, and by the
United States laws your authority is
stayed. You must choose between
your supposed duty to the state and
obedience to the supreme laws of your
country. (Signed) Arthur C. Butts,
George VV. Gibbons." Airs, tsucnanan
arived on the train reaching here at
10:30 A M., and was taken to the resi
dence of the pastor of the Presbyterian
church. Wardon Sage sent her word
that she could not see the prisoner, as
when she arrived the prison officials
were already preparing him for the
electric chair.
At 11:14 the witnesses were called to
the exeoution chamber. Electrician
Davis was at the switchboard. In a
closed box was a convict, who, upon a
signal, was to turn the switch. When
the party was seated, the electrician
put a bank of incandescent lights on
the chair, and sent a current through
them. There were 1740 volts in the
bank. When the current was switched
off, the warden and two guards ap
peared at the door with Dr, Buchanan.
He walked in, and without a word took
his seat. In about 30 seconds he was
strapped, and in 40 seconds pronounced
dead. The voltage of 1740 was kept
on 30 seconds more. It was the quick
est, most successful execution ever
seen at the prison.
nettling Kentucky Fend.
Sergeant, Ky., June 29. News has
reached here from the Virginia side of
the Cumberland mountains in Buch
anan county, that Hyte Larsen and
Billy Jordan, the two notorious moun
tain outlaws, who had been enemies
for several years, met on a lonely path
in the mountains and engaged in a
terrible battle. Larsen opened fire on
Jordan, who returned it, and a deadly
battle ensued, which cost Larsen his
life. Billy Jordan made his escape
across the country into the mountains
of Virginia. They were both bad men
and had killed several men.

BERLIN, June 29. Echoes of the
celebration at Kiel upon the occasion
of the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm
canal are still reverberating on all
sides. The attitude assumed by the
officers of the French fleet is now
generally severely criticized, and it is
significant that the semi-official
Attyemme Zeitung most unsparingly
comments on the subject, and charges
the French with carrying discord into
the general harmony and with a pro
nounced lack of international courtesy.
The same paper also belittles the im
portance of the Russo-France under
standing, so ostentatiously displayed
at Kiel, adding:
"The lew Kussian ana r rench ves-

ports received today, Genaral Antonio

and consigned to prison pending orders
irom captain-General Campos.
Washington, June 29. Minister
Dupuy de Leome, of Spain, has not re
ceived official confirmation of Maceo's
capture. If . confirmed, the minister
regards the capture as most important,
for Maceo is a mulatto, who has been at
the head of the negroes, and his ap
prehension will put down the uprising
of the blacks. Maceo started his ex
pedition from Costa Rica last spring.
and has led a large lorce oi negroes
who have been operating of late around
Santiago de Cuba. He is a man of
much ability, and was in charge of the
government tobacco plantation in

occasion, when Maceo started on his
expedition, to assure Spain that he
had no government support. Next to
Gomez and Marti he had been the
most conspicuous figure.

man sandbagged here Tuesday night,
and who has become notorious as the
medium through which Cuban letters
from Major Hann has been given cir
eolation through the press, is not F.

with Hann, and then translated the
news. The Jacksonville mixzen cor
respondent secured the cipher and
asked the Rev. Mr. Hundley. to trans
late it. He did so, and it was proved
to be a Greek copy of a letter written
in England from a friend in Philadel

when he gets up. It is known that he
has received letters from Cuba which

Gave Up His Own Life.

catched Christer on the right side of
his abdomen, ripping it open to the
