CRIME AT CALDWELL.
(Thomas Ronan, a Prosperous Farmer,
Foully Murdered and Robbed.
BOISE, Idaho, May 14. — A special from
Caldwell to the Idaho Statesman says:
Thomas Ronan, a well-known farmer of
this place, was foully murdered last night.
When Ronan was about to retire, he was
attracted by a clicking of a wire fence about
thirty yards from his house. He went out
to investigate the cause, and nothing more
was seen of him until this morning, when
his body was found lying near the corral
in front of his house. His head bore some
ghastly wounds evidently inflicted with
an az.
The deed is supposed to have been com
mitted by a tramp for the double purpose
of vengeance arid robbery. During the
evening a tramp called and asked for some
thing to eat. Upon being refused he went
away, muttering something not under
stood. About $10. all. Ronan had in his
pockei, was missing.
The vicinity is up in arms, but no clew
to the . murderer has been found.

GRATIFYIXG TO LOS AXGJBLEB.
Interesting Statistics Furnished by the
Director-General of the Fiestm.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 14.— The
Times to-morrow will print the financial
report of Max Meyberg, the director-gen
eral of la fiesta. It shows receipts from
all sources to have been $29,242 and ex
penses $31,737, leaving a deficit of $2495 due
the First National Bank, which advanced
sufficient money to pay off all claims.
The report gives a mass of figures, which
will prove of interest to people of this city,
among them being the statement that
40,000 visitors attended the fiesta, and that
they spent over $500,000, which was dis
tributed among the citizens generally.
The report then says:
"It has given to Los Angeles a reputa
tion for enterprise and push which money
cannot pay for. The advertisement
through newspapers in the United States,
which gave glowing descriptions of our
festival, will draw attention to our city.
This of itself is invaluable and should be
taken advantage of by our citizens."
The report is addressed to the Merchants'
Association of Los Angeles, and it is said
that at the next meeting of that body a
proposition will be made to wipe out the
small deficit before mentioned.

headway was made to-day in decorating
and the business streets are in a flutter
with bunting.
A meeting of the executive committee
was held last night and it was decided to
have the baseball game Thursday after
noon and the bicycle and other races on
Saturtlay. Elegant medals will be pre-^
sented to the winners of the races. Ar
rangements have been made for a special
train to leave San Francisco Friday morn
ing and return after the day's programme
has been completed.
Extensive arrangements are being made
in the way of providing seats for the multi
tude, and the visitor is assured comfort in
this respect. It is no idle boast to say that
all the plans that are being carried into
effect are on a more elaborate and exten
sive scale than had been anticipated by the
most sanguine. The old pioneers look
with wonder on the preparations that are
making. It recalls fairy tales of their
childhood. Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Clover
dale, Windsor, Geyserville and all sur
rounding villages will be represented by
large delegations as well as floats and
other evidences of enterprise and interest.
At Trultt's Theater the ladies are at

Magnificent Display of Firework* Ar
ranged for the Venetian Fete.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., May 14.— The peo

plans. There will be expended in fire
works |6000, incandescent lights $3000,
music $2500, street decorations $2000.

great success. The list was headed by J.
P. Smith and J. R. Chace for $500 each.
The work on the dam was commenced to
day, and the tramps are at work. The
sack s continue to be carried to headquar
ters. An amusing sight this afternoon
was that of the tots from the kindergarten
carrying bundles of sacks almost as large
as themselves.
Contracts for the fireworks hare been
awarded. The pyrotechnic display will
begin with a beautiful figure of the Queen
in Italian and silver lance fires, encircled
with a wreath of emeralds, crimson and
blue, with ten yacht salutes for the ten
maids of honor; also a bust of Hon. J. P.
Smith in silver lance, and other designs of
the most beautiful sort, closing with a
grand finale of a Venetian chariot in silver
and Italian lance, with the Queen of the
Carnival in the center in Persian and
Greek fires, and with figures of cupid rest
ing on the seats of the chariot, surrounded
by the Venetian flag. There will be two
electric fountains and magnificent water
falls.
Word was received to-day from Hon.
George Perkins, who' said he had received
a telegram from Secretary Herbert of the
Navy Department, stating that Herbert
will be pleased to send the Olympia or
some suitable vessel to Santa Cruz from

Hotel in San Francisco and flowers will be
sent daily.
Some beautiful flowers were sent to-day
from Watsoaviiie. People continue to
bring the loveliest of blooms to headquar
ters. In the rooms of the Ladies' Auxiliary
the most beautiful flowers can be seen —
the choicest from many gardens of the
city. Mrs. J. H. Logan brought to the
rooms of the Ladies' Auxiliary a bunch of
peonies measuring three feet in diameter.
Five thousand seats will be placed on
the avenue and 5000 more on the river
front.
The balloting for the maids of honor
continues to be very spirited, and those
who are successful thus far are: Misses
Marian Peck, Anita Gonzales, JosieTurcot,
Agnes McLaughlin, Georgie Skinner, May
Haley, Alice Madeira and Anna Linscott
and Mesdames 0. Turtle and F. O. Hihn.
Ballot-boxes for the reception of votes
for the queen have been placed in the
headquarters and tickets are being sold at
a lively rate. Among those being balloted
for Miss May Burke seems to be a general
favorite. She is a daughter of Senator
Bart Burke and is a tall and handsome
blonde, of stately bearing and a general
favorite— so much so that the ladies have
already hung her picture in their room,
draped in the carnival colors.
HOGAX AT SACRAMENTO.
The American Jiatlway Union leader
Addresses the Federated Trades.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 14.— Vice-
President Hogan of the American Railway
Union addressed the Federated Trades in
this city last night. He left for Oakland
to-day.
A well-known local labor leader informed
a Bee reporter last night that Hogan is
attempting to get the railway conductors
i and locomotive engineers into the Ameri
can Railway Union, even if in doing so it
will be necessary to kill the Brotherhood
of Railroad Conductors and Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. The American
Railway Union does not intend to be sec
| ondary or subsidiary to any other organ
ization, he said. The chief fight is to get
) the engineers first. After that the con
ductors will be approached. Prominent
American Railway Union men say that
j they now have the best of the position
J over Chief Arthur.
ENGLAND'S CLAIM UNJUST
Opinion of Missionary Duncan
on the Alaska Boundary
Dispute.
Russia's Jurisdiction Had Never
Been Questioned Before the
Sale of the Territory.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 14.— At a meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce to-day,
the following letter was read from Rev. W.
Duncan, the missionary who, on account
of British restrictions, removed his tribe of
Indians from Port Simpson, B. C, to
Annette Island, Alaska, which is part of
the territory involved in the boundary dis
pute:
"On Board City of Topeka, Alaska
"Waters, May 3. 1895.
"Before leaving home for a trip to Sitka I
received a letter from Mr. Miner Bruce,
the explorer, asking me to write you any
particulars I might happen to know re
garding the question of the boundary be
tween Alaska and British Columbia. Most
likely this little information I have on the
subject is already known to you, but it can
do no harm to write what I know.
"First— ln 1857 I was located at Fort
Simpson and was in constant daily inter
course with the affairs of the Hud
son Bay Fur Company, which had a
monopoly of the country at that time.
From this intercourse I learned that all
the country north of Portland Canal be
longed to Russia, and for the privilege of
I trading with the Indians from that point
' and as far as Chilcat the company paid a
i rental to the Russian Government of 1000
! otter skins each year. It is not at all
j likely that a company of such proportions
as the Hudson Bay Company would con
sent to pay rent for territory of which
there was uncertainty as to ownership.
That company would most assuredly be
well acquainted with the maps which as
signed the territory to Russia, or it would
have never made the agreement with Rus
sia which it did. Nor did those officers
during all the years I was in daily inter
course with them ever hint at a doubt as
to the boundary from which Russian claims
started.
"Second— l have known law-breakers to
escape to Tongass from justice, being
while there out of the jurisdiction of Brit
ish Columbia.
"Third— When the United States pur
chased Alaska a corps of soldiers was
stationed at Tongass and continued there
for years in undisputed control.
"Fourth— On my migrating with over
800 Indians from British Columbia, .in
1887, we had to call at Fort Tongass and
give an account of our belongings. I paid
the customs officers over $1000 to bring my
goods into Alaska. The customs authori
ties resided at Tongass, just over the inlet
called Portland Caaal." '
AMID FRESNO VINES
The Valley Road Party
Visits the Land of
Vineyards.
AN END TO UNCERTAINTY
They Announce That Fresno
Will Be Made Division
Headquarters.
TWO RAILROADS TO DELANO.
Director Watt's Proposition Is Re
ceived With Favor by the
Other Directors.
FRESNO, Cal., May 14.— The party of
Valley road directors spent the day in
specting the country east and west of
Fresno. During the morning they drove
out to the Kearney estate, returned to
Fresno and thenwent east to the Malter,
Barton and other big vineyards. They
were accompanied by a large party of
Fresno people. Lunch was served at the
Matter vineyard.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the directors
had a conference with a committee rep
resenting Malaga, Fowler, Selma, Kings
burg and Traver. These towns are situ
ated on the line of the Southern Pacific
south of Fresno, and have been holding
union meetings to form plans to secure the
new road. They lie in a rich fruit coun
try, and ship a large amount of grain also.
The representatives of that country urged
upon the directors the advantage of pass
ing through a fruit district rather than
through a grain section, as the former has
a larger tonnage to the acre. The railroad
men made no definite statement, but prom
ised to give the matter thorough con
sideration.
Vice-President Watt has stated that
he believes that at Fresno the road should
branch, one line going through the east
side to Visalia, and the other through the
west side to Hanford. This seems to be
the opinion of the other directors also.
The two lines would unite at Delano, or at
some point near there. The valley here is
bo wide and rich that two lines could easily
be supported.
The directors this evening had a secret
conference at the Hughes Hotel with a
committee of the Hundred - thousand
Club, consisting of John D. Gray, A. L.
Hobbs and A. J. Wiener, and a committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, consisting
of Harry Sherwood, Arthur R. Briggs, 0.
J. Woodward, T. C. White, Alex Gold
stein, Louis Gundelfinger and Louis Ein
stein.
Contrary to expectation the directors
made a definite request of the representa
tives of the Fresno people. The railroad
men freely admitted that the line must
come to Fresno, and said further that from
twenty to forty acres would be required for
a round-house, depot, machine-shops and
other buildings. This will be made the
division headquarters. More land than
will be needed at once will be asked, as the
directors said they wished to be prepared
for the growth of the city. The directors
also said that they would expect a grant of
the right-of-way through the county.
Fresno will not be expected to subscribe
for much stock, but the directors want
some to be taken in order that interest
may be taken in the road.
The result of the conference is considered
very satisfactory by the Fresno business
men who took part, and active and organ
i zed efforts will be made to secure the con
cessions asked. The people of this city
have been waiting to learn what is ex
pected of them and are now ready to press
the work. A public meeting will probably
be called to arouse further interest.
The party leaves here for San Francisco
at 2:45 o'clock to-morrow morning.
SELMA GIVE* A JIEARISO.
Claim* of Valley Towns Favorably Be
ceived by the Director*. ■
SELMA, Cal., May 14. -A delegation of
Selma business men and property-owners
went to Fresno to-day to meet the direc
tors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin
Railroad Company. Those composing the
party were: D. S. Snodgrass, cashier of the
Bank of Selma and president of the citi
zens' permanent railroad committee ; At
torney W. B. Good, George W. Terrill, T.
F. Newell, Paris Allen, W. L. Lyon, V. I.
Willis. These gentlemen were joined by
E. Barnes and H. Hurst of Traver, Captain
Young Ten of Kingsbr.rg and Captain C. H.
Norris of Fowler, together with citizens of
the railroad committee.
The directors met the party at the
Hughes House this afternoon and received
Tery favorably the presentation of the
claims of this section for recognition. The
directors express themselves in favor of an
air line so far as practicable. Such a line
from Fresno to Visalia will go through the
towns included in the organization re
cently formed here to secure the road.
The committee is well pleased with the
assurance given by the directors.
Work of the Engineer*.
STOCKTON, Cal., May 14.— The camp
of the engineers at work on the new road
will be moved to-morrow to the Stanislaus
River, and the permanent survey will be
finished that far within the next few days.
Beyond the river the preliminary lines will
be run as soon as the permanent stakes
are driven that far. It is believed that the
line from Burneyville will make a straight
shoot toward Merced.
Damage to the Wheat Crop.
FRESNO, Cal., May 14.— The intense
heat that has continued since last Fri
day has done considerable damage to the
wheat crop. After the last heavy rain,
the outlook was better than for many
years past, but the hot wave is burning
up some of the grain. The grain that has
not yet headed out is most seriously
affected. The red rust is also doing
damage.
Foreclosure Suit Begun.
FRESNO, Cal., May 14.— Suit to fore

REACHES SANTA BARBARA.
Perilous Trip of Miss London
derry Across the Santa
Ynez Mountains.
An Exciting Adventure With a Steer
Which Took Offense at Her
Red Costume.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 14.—
Miss Annie Londonderry, the young
woman who has been making a bicycle
trip around the world, arrived here late
Monday night after a rough ride from San
Luis Obispo. She left there on Saturday
morning and made 120 miles before night.
The second day she rode 9ti miles, and on
the third she completed her trip, making
87 miles, which included crossing the
Banta Ynez Mountains.
The heat was so Intense when she
reached the summit at noon that she de
cided to continue her trip after sunset.
After starting down the mountain it be
came so dark on account of the dense fog
that she did not dare ride, having already
had three slight falls on account of the
darkness; and so she walked almost the
whole way into Santa Barbara, a distance
of twenty miles.
While climbing the mountain a wild
steer took offense at the red skirt which
she wore and made a dash at her, but a
Mexican on horseback stopped the animal
with a lasso.
Miss. Londonderry spoke very highly of
the treatment whi,ch she had been accorded
throughout California. She is registered
at the Arlington Hotel, and will ride an
exhibition mile in the races whii.h are to
be held here Wednesday. She will also
lecture at the Arlington and at the race
track before she leaves.
TISCHBEIS MUST SERVE TIME.
Given a Term, in the County Jail for
Frightening a Man to Death.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 14.— 1n
the Superior Court to-day a motion for a
new trial in the Tischbein case was denied.
This finally disposes of a suit which has
won considerable celebrity.
Appellant August Tischbein is the man
who, in March, made felonious entrance
to the house of an elderly saddler, H. C.
Tennant, at midnight, causing the latter's
death from an attack of heart disease,
superinduced by fright. Owing to certain
complications it was impracticable to urge
a charge of manslaughter, and Tischbein
was tried on a charge of disturbing the
peace. One jury disagreed, but a second
convicted him, and he was sentenced to
Day a fine of $150, with the alternative of
150 days in the county jail, the severest
possible sentence. He will serve time.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., May 14.—
Robert McDonald, the man arrested here

Sheriff Clement of that city.

the A. R. U. strike last July. The man
who threatens to sue the Chico warrior is
Farmer Byron of Sutter Township.
One day during the strike Byron drove
to town with a load of watermelons, and
somewhere in the suburbs encountered a
body of Henshaw's men. The Chico army
swarmed all over the farmer's wagon, and
his watermelons disappeared in quick
order. Byron says that flenshaw promised
to see that he received the value of the
watermelons, but afterward told he must
look to the State for his pay.
Byron says he gave Henshaw until to
morrow to settle the bill, and if he fails to
come to time he will bring suit for $16 and
costs.

work since he was 8 years of age. Two
years ago he stood highest among the.
students of this county in a competitive
examination for a free ticket to the World's

sketchbook, in which he drew many pic

encountered. From letters written to his
parents it was known that he was greatly
enjoying his experiences. The trip was to
have ended in a few days.
