JENNINGS, La., July 21.-The oil well
fire was' extinguished this "afternoon by
the use of steam and without the aid
of chemicals. Nine boilers of large
capacity . connected with two lines -of
four-inch pipe were set in the field to the
northeast of the burning oil. One of the
lines was stationary and the other mov
able, so as to follow the flames. A man
was stationed at each boiler to keep the
steam pressure up to 125 pounds. It is
estimated that the. combined boilers gave
a 225-horsepower force. The four-Inch
water lines were laid from the north,
with four two-inch connections, and. fifty
feet of hose on each connection, and were
so arranged that the flames could be cov
ered from the east, north and northwest.

Jimmy Britt is extending his left hand

his battle with "Kid" Lavigne last month.
Britt had an X-ray taken of the Injured
hand and discovered that one of the bones
was broken. The lightweight boxer had
the bone set and the hand put In a plas

able to fight next month. When asked

Gans for the lightweight championship in
the event the champion won next Thurs
day night in Oakland, Jimmy said: "Now
don't try to make any matches for me.
I have given this matter a great deal cf
thought, but have not made up my mind.
I am not afraid of Gans or any other
lightweight in the world, but I am averse
to fighting a colored man. If I am forced
into such a battle I may consider it, but
I would rather not meet Gans. If he is
defeated by a white man I will challenge
the victor."

As they .rolled in their death struggles
Mrs. Dobrowsky saw a third lion higher
up the tree than Its fellows had been. She
killed it with one bullet. A sharp lookout
was then made for more of the dangerous
beasts, but without result.
Mrs. Dobrowsky was alone on the
mountain side when attracted by the bay
ing of her hound. She found the dog had
a large lion up a tree. As she prepared
to shoot it she saw a second lion glaring
at her through the thick foliage. Just
then her husband came up, attracted by
the baying of the dog. At the count of
three two rifle shots rang out and two
tawny brutes fell clawing and screaming
to the earth.. They were both mortally
wounded.

G. B. Daniels, president of the Enquirer
Publishing Company, had not been shown
to have been connected with the alleged
conspiracy by which the county of Ala
meda was mulcted out of 11500 for unde
livered books, Police Judge Smith to-day
refused to hold the newspaper man to
answer before the Superior Court. The
proceedings in the Police Court this
morning were short and sweet— 3weet for
Daniels. Both sides to the controversy
were represented by their counsel—Attor
neys Snook arid Hill for the defense and
District Attorney Allen and M. C. Chap
man for the people. Without any prelimi
naries Judge Smith announced:
'.'I have gone over the evidence pre
sented in this case very carefully, and,
after considering the matter fully I am of
the opinion that even if a crime has been
committed, the evidence does not connect
the defendant with It. The defendant is
therefore discharged from custody."
That was all. The session dispersed Im
mediately. It was as If some smoke was
clearing away. All that remained was
Daniels, surrounded by his friends, who
supplied him liberally with congratula
tions. They escorted him into the hall
way and upon the steps of the City Hall,
where they congratulated him some more.
Daniels did not make any bones of the
fact that he was both pleased and sur
prised. He rather expected to be held,
so that his auiclc acquittal was all the
more welcome. ¦ ¦ .

Nothing would do but that Lackaye

said he would came to California every
year and thanked his auditors for their
marks of appreciation. Miss Johnson won
the honors, which fell liberally to her by
conscientious work in the role of Jocelyn.
Crane was a dignified Marcel. Eugenie

The chief interest of the production of

is put to excellent use in her Rosalind.

Mrs. de Velez comes of a fine San Sal
vadorean family and is Independently
wealthy. They were married in 1896 and
have a girl 3 years of age.
The plaintiff does not wish any ali
mony, but asks the custody of the child.
Dr. de Velez has had a meteoric career.
He is of French extraction, but under the
regime of General Blanco he was the
Premier of the Philippine Islands, and
virtually governed them. He is wealthy
and has now, according to his wife, an
income of $2000 per month.
On Saturday evening last the husband
returned from Mexico unexpectedly and
went to the home formerly occupied by
his wife in Temescal, but found her ab
sent. Consumed with burning jealousy,
Eenor de Velez traced his wife to th3
home of friends near the corner of Mar
ket and Fourteenth streets. The meeting
of the couple was a dramatic one, the
husband drawing a revolver and threat
ening to kill his wife. The high-tempered
physician was arrested and taken to the
City Jail, where he was charged with
carrying concealed weapons.
The wife to-day instituted proceedings
for divorce, alleging extreme cruelty. The
wife say's her spouse Is possessed of a
consuming jealousy and an ungovernable
temper, which manifested themselves on
different occasions by the husband at
tempting to kill her— twice with a re
volver and once with a knife. The wife
also alleges her husband so far forgot his
Castillan sense of politeness that he spat
in her face and heaped all the impreca
tions on her head that the mellifluous
Spanish language permits of. She also al
leges he accused her of being an adven
turess, and pronounced contumely over
her head on account of her mother hav
ing been married twice.

Unfortunately for the lads in question,
there is an element of crime attached to
their venture. One of the boys succeeded
in carrying off some $75 belonging to his
father, with which two wicked looking re
volvers, two sombreros and two pairs of
overalls were purchased. What was done
with the remainder of the money does not
appear, but it is certain a portion of it
was disbursed for railway tickets, while
another portion went for board in the
capital city. The lads were Harry Mur
asky, living with Mrs. Laman at 43 Ivy
avenue; Daniel Horgan, son of Denis
Horgan, a carpenter, living at lOS 1^ Oak
street, and a boy known as "Terrible
Teddy," whose residence is unknown.
The facts of the escapade were first
divulged by Frank Mullaney of 133 Hayes
street. All of the boys mentioned are un
der 15 years of age. Mullaney says that
early last week Horgan told him that he
intended to start In pursuit of Tracy and
he asked Mullaney to go with him.

Mrs. Laman would not permit young
Murasky to be interviewed. She said the
matter was not of public concern anu
that since the return of the lads they had
promised to do better. They are voracious
readers of nickel detective stories and
their imaginations were fired by the thrill
ing tales they had read. The escape of
Tracy, followed by his remarkable ex
ploits, succeeded in turning their brains to
the extent that they resolved to follow
him. Who supplied the money for the
venture by means of theft is not clearly
demonstrated, Horgan shifting the re
sponsibility upon Teddy and the latter
claiming Horgan was delinquent. The
boys will be watched in future and at
their. first effort to repeat the experiment
they will be sent to a reformatory.
An effort was made to see young Hor
gan yesterday, but when he sought to tell
his story he was interrupted by a man
who told him to "Shut-;Mjr." - The la<* ad
mitted, however, that he had gone to Sac
ramento on his journey . , to Washington
and that he returned because his money
ran short. To a youth'ful companion he
said that life on the road was not what
it was claimed to be and that he would
prefer to read of the exploits of thief
catchers, rather than suffer their actual
experiences. ¦ .
where he was to get the money he said he
would get it all right. Teddy said he
would go along and when Harry Murasky
promised to go I thought the crowd was
big enough. I told my mother about the
affair, but she paid no attention to It.- On
Thursday Horgan, Murasky and Teddy
left for Sacramento. Horgan seemed to
have plenty of money and the boys wore
new clothes and hats. They came back
broke on Sunday."

SEATTLE, July 21.— Back of the shoot
ing of Mr. and Mrs. David Thomas— the
one killed and the other fatally wounded—
and the suicide of Samuel. H. C. Lake in
the Fredonia House on Saturday night
there is a remarkable story* that came to
light only to-day. The victims of the
shooting were not married; in fact, the
woman was the wife of the man who shot
her. For the past four months she had
been compelled to live with both Lake and
Thomas. All that time L,ake was awaiting
a favorable opportunity of killing the
couple. •
The confession of Mrs. Thomas was
made to Coroner Hoye. The first story
of the woman, that Lake was her
brother, and that the fatal quarrel was
over the purchase of an $1S hat, was
doubted. To get other evidence Coroner
Hoye and his deputies searched the rooms
at the Fredonia House this morning. A
bit of paper was found that explained
everything. It contained the following:
Special Dispatch to The Call.
The Brenn was sixty-four days from
the Tyne to Cape Horn. After rounding
the Cape light winds were encountered
and as the vessel's hull was so foul that
nothing less than a gale of wind would
move her at anything like a decent speed,
her progress to port was slow. She was
off the Golden Gate for ten days. Early
Sunday morning Captain Bertet got lost
in the fog. Land was sighted about
noon. The anchor was dropped and on
sending a boat ashore it was learned that
t'ae land was Tomales Point. Standing off
shore the Brenn encountered the steam
schooner Acme. Captain Bertet asked
Captain Lundqulst to tow him into San
Francisco, which would have taken up
about four hours of the Acme's time.
Lundquist asked $1000 for the job. Bertet
was willing to pay $500 and as Lundquist
would not lower his price the French
man resumed his course and made port
under sail about ten hours later. .
The Brenn spoke the German ship El
back off the Horn.
The Brenn left Newcastle-on-Tyne Jan
uary 5 and was kindly treated by wind
and wave until April 26, when she was
in latitude 41 south, longitude S7 42 west.
Here she encountered heavy southeast
el ly gales. High cross seas bombarded
the vessel from all sides and thunder and
lightning roared and Mashed for hours at
a time. The Brenn's foretopgallant roast
was carried away and nearly all her sails
were blown to ribbons. So violently dirt
the vessel roll that her rigging was
strained to slackness and for several
hours grave fears were entertained for
the safety of the masts.
The French bark Brenn, for many days
counted as lost and quoted at 35 per cent
on the reinsurance list, reached port late
Sunday night 196 days from, Newcastle,
England. Although the skipper of the
French bark Jean Guillon, who thought
he saw the Brenn overwhelmed ni an
Atlantic gale, was mistaken as to the
outcome, the overdue vessel suffered
sorely bv the buffetings of the elements
and reached port with strained spars and
a very foul hull.
The Japanese are the cause of all tha
trouble this year and both the while
union fishermen and the cannery men are
bitter toward them. The white unions
have agreed upon a price for fish for the
season and have commenced work, bat
the sulky Japanese are still- holding out
for a higher figure and are actually try
lnsr by force of arms to intimidate the
white fishermen Into joining them. Boat 4
ere beinjc stolen and nets cut to pieties
nightly rnrl rewards are offered by the
canners for the conviction of the> sruilty
Japanese. A large force of special police
has been sworn In and officers are con
stantly patrolling with boats.
The strife began ¦ in a Japanese board
ing house where* some Indians bad eaten
breakfast. There was a brief era of
"rough house." Later in the morning a
boatload of Indians came in from the
fishing grounds with a startling atory.
They said that a patrol boat ia which
were eight armed Japanese had come up
to them; that the Japanese bad cut their
nets and ordered them to stoj> fishing.
The Indians declared that they had re
fused and told the Japanese to mini their
own business, whereat the Orientate drew
revolvers from their pockets and rifles
from tinder the gunwales of their boat*.
Thus equipped, they compelled the In
dians to haul in the remnants of their
nets and start for shore. All this oc
curred while, a police steamer was In full
view. Several Japanese were afterwaid
arrested for complicity in the hold-up.
VANCOUVER. B. C, Jtily a.— Japanese
fishermen on Fraser River concluded a
morning riot 10-day by holding up Indian
fishermen and Corcmjr them at t.ia pohit
of the rifle to ceasa fishing. Ths Japan
ese started the trouble befora daylight,
and fcr a half no._r a force ot policemen
under Superintendent Hussey bad a

Hours went by and "Tattoo Red" and
his confederate failed to show up. Fear
ing bad faith, Cudihee at last raided the
camp. It was. empty...
; When Floyd and his confederate de
parted it was for the purpose. of return
ing to the Sawyer Lake cabin, where they
alleged Tracy lay grievously wounded and
practically helpless. They were to come
back within twenty-four hours with news
of Tracy's capture or death. Cudihee and
the few who were "next" to the plot be
lieved that failure was impossible and
that the Oregon outlaw was as good as
in their hands. • •
At the first conference Cudhlee, It is as
serted, stipulated that the outlaw should
be delivered into his hands alive If pos
sible. Floyd demurred strongly, but fin
ally agreed that they would catch Tracy
napping if possible, but that he was a
desperate man and they feared they
would have to "croak" him to get him.
The information Was immediately im
parted to Cudihee and he determined to
accept the offer. One condition insisted
upon by Floyd, it is said, was that all the
deputies in the field should be called in,
in order that they might not claim a share
of the regard when the outlaw was given
up to the Sheriff. Cudihee was so im
pressed with the good faith of their state
ments that he agreed to call off the man
hunters and send them back lo Seattle.
In this he kept his word.
Soon after Tracy appeared at the Potot
house, "Tattoo Red" and his companion
arranged a meeting with a well-known
sporting man at Kent and then and there
outlined to him their plan to capture
Tracy. The Seattle sporting man was one
of Sheriff Cudlhee's warmest personal
friends, as well as his stanch supporter
in politics, and was as badly deceived by
the story of the two outlaws as was
Cudihee. In tenderloin parlance, the
whole thing "looked good." Floyd and
the other man said that they had been
in close touch with Tracy for days. They
had met him near Renton about a week
bete re, they said, and had been giving
him aid ever since; but, on account of
his cowardly conduct in murdering Mer
rill,'they had determined to play him
false. . Merrill, they said, was a warmer
friend of theirs than Tracy had ever
been, and they were ready and willing to
give up the latter to justice provided they
were given a big share of the reward
offered for Tracy's capture.
Fred Floyd, alias "Tattoo Red," and
another man offered to deliver Tracy into
the hands of Sheriff Cudihee, and to : them
alone was due the fact that Cudihee was
"deceived into allowing Tracy to escape
from the Green River \%lley after his ap
pearance in the Potot house.
SEATTLE, July 21.— Sheriff Cudihee
was given the "double cross" by Outlaw
Tracy's friends. This is an open secret
now in the local under-world and "Tat
too tied" is credited with having worked
up the plot. Lewis Ward, a dime novel
enthusiast, had nothing to do with the
Lake Sawyer attempt to capture Tracy
and it is now accepted as a fact that
Tracy was never within miles Of the
deserted cabin. Sheriff Cudihee has not
even taken the trouble to contradict
Ward's boastings. Ward was a despised
outsider in the entire proceeding.

The rest of the cast was what Mr. Mil
ler and his people have led us to expect.
Mrs. Whiffen as the juvenile mother of
Milanor was beautifully effective, ditto
Lawrence d'Orsay as the "not brainy but
damned good" Hugh Graeme. Mr. Wai
tot was excellent as Milanor's money
grubbing uncle, and Mn=. Walcot as Ma
bel's mamma fully explained Mabel. Ethel
Hornick was her handsome self as Edith
Cadogan. and Martha Waldron, following
her leader's modest way, was a waitress.
Two clever children. Gladys and Sybil
Sorensen, make a happy impression as
Mabels sister and brother, and every
body else does all they should.
The piece is handsomely mounted and
will so.
One was glad to note Miss Anglin'3
complete recovery from her indisposition.
Her Mabel Vaughan is brilliantly char
acterized, the development of the shal
low, scheming, worldly-wise girl into the
loving wife being painted with the in
tuitive detail and cumulative stroke of
the born artist. Miss Anglin's progress
is. from height to height, and her emc
tiunal instinct has never touched a note
more keenly true than in her confession
scene last night. Mr. Miller was notaoly
happy as Milanor from the gentle ro
mancing of this gentle romancer in the
shady nook of his boyhood days to the
delicately graded passion of the closing
6cene. 'Tis a lovable character, and Mr.
Miller was both strong and lovable there
in. He has the high art of balance and
restraint in its utmost perfection, and,
with Miss Anglin, was busily applauded
after the final curtain by an audience for
getful of last trains and every other last
thing.
And here is where the miracle comes
in. Sir Harry Milanor, than which no
cleaner, fitting part has been played
this season by Mr. Miller, and
Margaret Anglin's Mabel Vaughan,
in which she achieves her cus
tomary distinction, are both abun
dantly convincing. Further, in the fine
iast scene between the two, where Ma
bel acknowledges her scheming, and
.Milanor, not knowing she has come to
l<;ve him, prepares to -leave her, they are
not only convincing, but compel the real
ism of tears from that part of the au
dience then usually concerned about its
hatpin. It should not be forgotten in
these days of ignored morals that the
play is distinctly wholesome in its ten
dency.
"The Wilderness," miraculously cast
and flawlessly played, was produced for
the first time in San Francisco by Henry
Miller and Margaret Anglln last night. It*
maker is H. V. Esmond, who built that
attractive comedy of Nat Goodwin and
Maxine Elliott's giving, "When We Were
Twenty-one." In "The Wilderness" Mr.
Esmond does not quite reach his former
standard, though it is a comedy full of
interest and charm. One is left believ
ing tbat the playwright owes much'more
to the players than they to him, and Mr.
.Lomond's debt to the Miller company is
nothing short ot a decided success for
his comedy, for such it was heartily voted
by the Columbia's large audience last
night. But its story is not so goo«J,
tnough good; its workmanship not to
brilliant, its atmosphere not so convinc
ing as in "When We Were Twenty-one."
On the other hand, perhaps, Mr. Esmond
has gained in characterization some ad
mirably drawn types appearing in the
piay, yet they have not always quite the
air of belonging to the same landscape.
How Sir Henry Milanor, generous, truth
ful, high-minded, comes to be the son of
his mother, a frank and incarnate sham—
the "middle daughter of nine in the quiver
of a poor country parson with an income
of £^10 a year." who married Milanor's
father for his money, is proud of it— Is
one of those unexplained mysteries of re
incarnation that happen only in plays.
The heredity of his lady love, Mabel
Vaughan, who, from the inevitable co
quette that her husband-hunting mamma
has molded her into, changes under
t-even months of her husband's moral pro
phyiacticism into the most sensitively
truthful creature, is yet another mystery.
