National Review to publish the full dis
patch and to explain how it was obtain
ed, declaring that be would then publish
a certified copy ot the original and allow
the public to judge the matter. The ed
itor of the National Review now explains
that he got the dispatch from a civilian
who was in Ladysmith at the time and
who said there was nothing secret about
it. He asserts also that he understands
that both General Buller and General
White have officially asked permission to
publish the authorized version and that
he cannot conceive why permission has
been withheld. ,
The same informant/ giving an alleged
explanation of the fact that there was
no co-operation between General Buller
and General White during the battle at

formed that the attack was fixed for.De

the attack on December 15, to the dismay

SEATTLE, Oct. SO.— The battleship Ore
gon is now on the Government diydock
at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, where she
was taken last Friday to undergo repairs
to her keel, which was severely strained
when she struck on the rocks some
months ago. Later she will be given a
general overhauling and painting. More
than ordinary care was necessary on ac
count of the strained keel and foe many
days prior to the docking extraordinary
preparations were made for the reception
of the big war vessel.
In order that she might rest gently on
the blocks, instead of pumping all the
water from the dock, as is usually the
case,' only about six feet was taken out.
Shores were then placed in position and
two divers entered the water to adjust
wedges and blocks carefully about . the
keel, before any great part of the- weight
of the battleship was allowed to rest. The
remainder of the water has since been
pumped from the dock and the damaged
part of the hull exposed.

SALINAS, Oct. 30.— When the case of
the Commercial Bank of San Jose' vs. W.
B. Frue was called for trial this morning
Judge Dbrn announced that he would first
hear the case on the cross-complaint of
John H. Seuts, administrator of Frue's
estate, vs. M. Phillips and others. The
jury had been obtained and D. M." Delmas
made the opening statement, claiming
$20,000 damages for Frue. It was virtually
agreed that the ultimate Issue to be de
cided by the jury should be "Was there
fraud in the sale to Frue of Lagunitas
ranch, under the "misrepresentations of
Mitchell Phillips and F. W. Moore, and,
if so, how much was Frue damaged
thereby?"
Phillips was the first and only witness
examined to-day. He told how from his
earnings oh the Pacific Mail dock, and
from dealings in 'real estate, he had
bought land for $8000, the land which
ultimately became San Jose Chinatown.
This property he exchanged with J. R.
Hebbron for Lagunitas . ranch. In 1897,
hearing that W. B. Frue wanted a coun
try home, he sought an introduction
through Fred W. Moore of San Jose, and
later agreed with Moore [ and" ex-Mayor
Valentine Koch to pay them $1000 if
they could induce Frue to buy the ranch
for $25,000. He planned with them to in
vite Frue to his place on a fishing and
hunting expedition, though there were no
fish there and little game. " .
The witness said that Frue, Moore and
himself had drinks and a jolly good, time
at 5 the ranch. Frue agreed to buy the
land, and the next day, Phillips said, he
telephoned to his lawyers InSan Jose to
have the. papers ready. They were signed
by Frue without any examination of
them. '\u25a0'\u25a0-. ' : ~\ .'\u25a0

action, claiming that Aloore was acting

DEATH CLOSES TBAGEDY
OF A YOUNG GIRO'S LIFE
There is" a reward of $500 offered by the
State for the arrest and conviction of the
murderer.
The murder of Albert Anderson was
most atrocious. He had grown suspicious
of impending danger, and before leaving
Winters at 10:30 o'clock on that "Sunday
night had asked persons to accompany
him home, but they did not share Jits fears
and refused to go with him. He was way
laid and his head was beaten to a JTJlp
with some blunt instrument. His Jiody
was then thrown over an embankment
and dragged to a place of hiding in the
Putah Creek bottom. It was found the
next day by a boy who was -herding cat
tle. The pockets had been turned inside
out to indicate robbery as the motive for
the deed. Anderson was known to carry
but little money upon his person.
It was not known then that he had any
enemies, but recent events have brought
out some peculiar facts. One of the offi
cials says that there Is at least one woman
concerned in the case, and that should
Young be brought to trial startling evi
dence will be elicited. The officers feel
certain they have the right man under
suspicion this time. . ' .. J. . _
No direct evidence was found against
the man until about a week aso, when
Colonel Taylor went to a trash receptacle
near the cabin that had been occupied
by Young to get some old rags. In this
he found the right sleeve of a shirt, cov
ered with blood, and identified it as hav
ing belonged to Young. The laundry num
ber on the garment was positively identi
fied by a Sacramento firm as the mark
it had placed upon clothing sent to its
laundry by Young. As Anderson was car
ried nearly 'one hundred yards after his
head had been crushed in the murderer's
clothes must have had blood stains upon
them. ......
Young was a roommate of 'Anderson on
the farm of Colonel Samuel Taylor, near
Winters, for some time prior to the mur
der and the two men had frequent quar
rels. After the murder of Anderson
Young became restless, suspicious and
easily frightened. At one time he asked
permission to move his bed from the
cabin in which he had been sleeping to
the house, giving as a reason that he
was afraid some one would kill him.
Later he sent to Healdsburg for his rela
tives and had them go to Winters to re
side. They did not stay long and when
they left he went with them and remained
in Healdsburg until a few weeks ago,
leaving about the time the suspicion of
the officials was directed toward him. It
is said that he was summoned to appear
at the Coroner's Inquest in Winters, but
failed to do so.
