The trial of Louis Novinsky on a

i with the greatest respect for your

The union boilermakers of the coast
! division of the Southern Pacific Com
j pany struck yesterday. The trouble
j was over the employment of two non
union men whom the strikers assert
were Imported from Chicago. Grand
I President McNeil of the International
! Boilermakers' Union was in conference
with the railroad people yesterday. As
yet there is no ill feeling on either side,
and McNeil says that the affair will
probably be adjusted amicably to-day.
The strike involves only the boiler
makers of the coast division, who num
ber twenty-eight in this city, sixteen
in San Luis Obispo, four at Salinas,
four at San Jose, two at Newark and
two at Alameda Point. The men claim
that there are enough union men to
fill all vacancies in the yards. They
assert that the two men over whom the
j trouble started are from outside the
State, and that they want Californians
to be given the preference. President
McNeil will confer with the company's
officials again to-day.

LOS ANGELES, July 26.— James Kel
losg, formerly president and manager
of the Kellogg Bank of Ellensburg,
Wash., was arrested here to-night at
the request of the Washington authori
ties as a fugitive from justice. He was
found living In a comfortable home
near here, which he had recently pur
chased, and to which he had brought
his wife and four children., According
to the telegraphic information the po
lice have received from Ellensburg,
Kellogg is wanted there on a felony
charge, consisting of having accepted
deposits in his bank when he knew the
institution to be insolvent. The State
of Washington has a statute for gov
erning county banks similar to the
Federal penal statutes for the regula
tion of national banks, and Kellogg's
alleged offense is the violation of this
special ttatute.
Kellogg: declares that the effort to
have him taken back to Washington a
prisoner is only for the purpose of com
pelling him to pay claims for which he
is not responsible. He openly declares
that the criminal courts there are being
used as a collection agency, and there
fore he will resist extradition.

Iron Bull, Short Bull and other
chiefs from Pine Ridge, Hollow Horn
Bear, Lips, Ruben Quick Bear and
other leading men from Rosebud,
White Ghost, from the Lower Brule
agency, and others are all on the
ground to press their views in the
matter.
Indian delegations from the entire
Sioux nation have been arriving in
great numbers to engage in a council
relating to the Black Hills treaty of
1877. .Many old men who were pres
ent at the councils when the Black
Hills treaty was affirmed maintain
that the commission appointed by the
Government to conclude the treaty
with them promised that the United
States wanted the Black Hills country
only until the gold, silver and other
precious metals could all be taken out.
Of course, In the light of subsequent
developments in the hills, this in itself
would be an indefinite lease, but the
old generation of Indians believes dif
ferently.
The council to be held at Cherry
Creek during the next, week will be in
teresting in many ways. It is cur
rently rumored that the aggressive ele
ment is working to get the majority
of delegates present to adopt a reso
lution of a radical nature. Just what
this final conclusion desired by this
element is cannot be definitely learned,
but sufficient is known to warrant the
statement that if all other means fail
them in securing the restitution of
the Black Hills, they would resort to
armed force.

MARTINEZ, July 26.— A sensational
suit which has occasioned much sur
prise In this county has "been com
menced in the Superior Court. Martha
E. Mulliken of Lafayette is the plaintiff
and Martha M. Taylor, sometimes
known as Martha M. Crawford, Mrs.
M. M. Crawford and Marthat Crabtree,
is the defendant.
According to the complaint John Tay
lor, deceased, fell under the Influence of
Mrs.Crabtree and v> as by her induced to
seek and obtain a divorce from his wife
and marry the defendant, he having
full belief that the defendant was an
unmarried woman. Taylor deeded two
tracts of land, comprising about 550
acres and situated near Lafayette, to
the defendant, whom he supposed was
his lawful wife, cutting off his daugh
ter, the plaintiff in the suit, with but
a slight bequest.
The daughter alleges in her complaint
that she did not know the defendant
was married before until some time
after her father died, when E. B. Crab
tree of Alamtda County commenced
suit against Martha Taylor, alias
Crabtree, for a divorce. The prayer of
the plaintiff is that the deeds in ques
tion be declared fraudulent, that a re
ceiver for the property be appointed
and that the estate revert to the true
and lawful heirs of John Taylor.
The property in question Is considered
to be worth about $15,000.

CHICAGO. July 26. — The sympa
thetic strike at the stockyards will be
completed to-morrow morning. The
belated sanction to the teamsters Join
ing their brother workmen in the gen
eral strike was given to-night by the
officers of the International Teamsters'
Union, and the drivers employed in
the packing industry in Chicago will
Quit work to-morrow. Nearly 100 of
these men struck to-day of their own
volition, refusing to wait for an offi
cial order notifying them that the sym
pathetic strike was indorsed.
While an attack was being made on
colored strike breakers as they were
leaving the stockyards to-night. John
Stokes, one of the strikers, was shot
and mortally wounded by one of the
negroes. Stokes, together with fully
100 companions, it is said, rushed upon
the negroes and one of the latter drew
a revolver and fired into the crowd,
hitting Stokea. The police were close
at hand and succeeded in scattering
the rioters after much difficulty.
During another riot within a hundred
feet of the same place and less than an
hour after the one in which Stokes was
shot, a negro strike breaker was shot
and killed. The rioter escaped before
the police arrived on the Bcene and it
Is not known who is responsible for the
shooting.
Little if any advantage was gained
by either side in the strike to-day and
there was no hope to-night of any im
mediate settlement. Realizing that
they have one of the hardest proposi
tions to contend with in the history of
the packing Industry, the packers are
leaving nothing undone to gain the up
per hand. All day long workmen from
outside points were rushed to Chicago
and taken to the stockyards to fill the
places of the strikers. To-night it was
announced by the packers that 7000
new men were now installed in the dif
ferent plants at the stockyards. With
these new men and with the arrivals
that are expected each day the packers
expect to get their affairs into such
shape that the strikers will be com
pelled to seek a truce.
Although the receipts of livestock to
day were small compared with receipts
en corresponding days under normal
conditions, still many cattle, hogs and
Fheep were left ia the pens to-night
unsold.
DENVER, July 26.— Governor Pea
body to-day issued a proclamation
calling off military rule in Teller Coun
ty and placing the Cripple Creek dis
trict in charge of the civil authorities.
This action was taken by the Gov
ernor In face of opposition from many
influential citizens of Cripple Creek,
who desire to prevent deported union
miners from returning to the district.
Before Issuing his order withdrawing
the trooos, however, the Governor re
ceived assurances from Sheriff Edward
Bell that his forces were able to con
trol the situation.
Military rule was proclaimed in Teller
County on June S in consequence of
disorderly acts following the explosion
at Independence on June 6, by which
many non-union miners were killed and
Injured. Previous to that there had
been a large force of soldiers on duty
for many months in the Cripple Creek
district, but before the explosion oc
curred these had all been withdrawn.
No troops are now under arms any
where in Colorado and good order pre
vails in all the mining camps.
The military expenses of the State
during the past eighteen months, due
to strikes, are said to aggregate about
$1,000,000.
VICTOR. Colo., July 26.— The recall
of the militia to-day marks a new era
for the Cripple Creek district. More
than 4400 miners are working and
nearly every mine is running full hand
ed. The civil authorities are in control
and everything is quiet.
TACOMA, July 26.— A mummified In
dian eight feet tall has been owned by

years, but scarcely any one knew about
It until Mrs. Baldle sued for divorce.
She now alleges the mummy Is worth
$2000 and wants It included among
Baldle's assets when the property di
vision Is made. Baldle owns the major
ity of the slot machines operated* In
Tacoma and has a large income from
them.
Mrs. Baldle says her husband paid an
Alaska prospector $2000 for the mum
