Dr.LuiglDomenico Bacigalupt. autopsysurgeon for the Coroner, found that acutealcoholism wa» the cause of Hennessey'sdeath. The heart was also ina bad state,and the liquor drunk by Hennessey causedcollapse. Through abundant caution,however. Dr.Bacigalupi sent the stomachand contents to the City Chemist foranalysis. The report of the chemist willbe received within the next two or threedays. There was a slight abrasion overthe left eye, but Ithad nothing to do withthe death.

At first It was thought that the UnionPacific's proposal to build was somethingin the nature of a "bluff" to prevent thecarrying forward of Senator Clark's'pro-jected Salt Lake and Los Angeles propo-sition, but communications. Itis said, thathave passed between the Rock Island andUnion. Pacific officials leave no room fordoubt that the Union Pacifle. particularlysince Its acquisition of the Southern .Pa-cific, claims the Southwestern territory asIts own peculiar field and resents the In-trusion of the Rock Island.
Ostensibly the projection of the exten-sion is to open tip valuable mineral ter-ritory In Southwestern Utah, Nevada andCalifornia, but the real purpose, accord-ing to railroad men. is the inaugurationby the Union Pacinc of a counter move-ment to a projected extension of the Chi-cago, Rock Island and Pacific road, whichhas under construction a line KS mileslong from liberal. Kans.. to Santa Rosa,on the Pecos River, anu has entered Intoa traffic arrangement with the El Pasoand Northwestern, over an extension ofwhich road and In conjunction with theAtchison tha Rock Island seeks ajSouth-em California and San Francisco outlet.

Bemis was apprised of his wife's deathat a saloon at 777 Market street, and hewent out to the Receiving Hospital Hedeclined to speak of the causes leading tothe woman's death. In the places whichhe frequented, the employes said that therelations of the couple were extremelyhappy. and no reason could be a-sitmedfor the action of the woman in takingpoison.
The mystery willprobably have to besClved by the police.
Some six weeks ago Beinl3 and his wifetook rooms at 305 Eddy street with thefamily of H. M. Templeton. But littlewas seen of the couple. The husbandsper.t the greater portion ofhis days awayfrom home.
Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday after-noon Mrs. Berais was taken to the Tera-pleton residence from some hotel on Bushstreet. She came ina carriage and was ac-companied by a young woman who saidMrs. Bemis was ill. She was carried toher room and received such attentions asher condition seemed to warrant. Aboutfour hours later Dr. J. A. Macdonald of313 Eddy Ftreet was called In and foundher In-a state of collapse.
He administered tonics and stimulants,but as her condition did not Improve hesuggested that the woman be sent to thoReceiving Hospital. She reached thereabout 8:30 o'clock and died about twohours later without the doctors beingable to render her any assistance. Herbody was later removed to the Morgue.
At her late residence H. M. Templetonraid that nothing was known as to whereshe came from or tisa r.ame of the womanwho brought hex to the house. Temple-ton said a partially emptied pint bottleof wood alcohol was found in her valise.
Mrs. Herbert E. Bemis of 333 Eddystreet .died last night at the ReceivingHospital from the effects of poison, thenature of which Drg. Murphy aniThrasher were unable to determine.

WOMAN'S DEATHSEEMS PECULIAR
Buckland is a German and 37 years ofage. He claims that he was discharged
from Company E. Thirty-fifth Regiment,for insanity in October last.
John Buckland. a laborer, created a dis-turbance in the saloon at SOI Keamy
street while drunk last night, and afterbeing twice ejected returned to the saloonand fired three shot3 at close ranse at
Charles H. Harriman. the proprietor,
without doing serious damage. That Har-
riman escaped being killed is little shortof a miracle. He was leaning on the b|r,reading a newspaper, when Bucklandpushed open the swinging doors and,standing almost against tne saloon man,
drew a small-caliber revolver, and point-ing itat Harriman's head, fired.
The bullet whizzed past Harriman's faceand lodged In the wall. Again Bucklandpulled the trigeer. the leaden missile thistime tearing through Harriman's coatsleeve, but without inflicting any injury.¦Buckland backed away and. taking de-
liberate aim. nred a third shot. The lastball struck. Harriman in the abdomen
and went through his shirt and under-garments, but withno other effect than toleave an abrasion no larger than a pin-head on his skin. Buckland ran from thesaloon toward Pacific street, where Spe-cial Officer Sam Daggett tried to stop himbut was held at bay by the fleeing man,who threatened to kill him. Datrcettwatched his chance and grappled withBuckland, whom he soon overpowered.
With the assistance of Policeman Cava-naugh Daggett brought the man to theCentral Station, where he was locked upon a charge of assault to commit murder.

ESTIMATES FOB TUNNELON MONTGOMERY STBEET
A meeting of contractors was held yes-terday In the Montgomery-street ofHcescf Charles A. V.'arren to take actlcn re-garding the strike of sand and gravelwacon teamsters. Contractors Warren.O'Brien. OShea. Tuttl<?. Cray Brothers,the San Krancisco Construction Companyand the City Street Improvement Com-pany, controlling about 253 of the 300 patnlwagons in the city, were represented atthe meeting.
After a short dl=cuF=ion the contractor*concluded that the demands of the teajn-sters were without right and Impossibleof fulfillment and hence no effort to effecta compromise with the strikers will bemade. The contractors agreed to g'>ahead with their work as usual, take Innew har.ds to manage the teams and torefuse any offer to return to work thatmay be made by the strikers.
The impression was given out by thestriking teamsters that thfJr union Hadbe*n recognized by the San FranciscoTrades Council and would be taken in byth&t erranizatfen. It was stAted at them«*<?tir:s of contractors that the teamstershad b*en misled and doubtless led Intotheir present difficulty through the beliefthat tht:r union would b-e accepted by theTrades Council, which, for the present ?ltleast, if said to be without foundation.The contractors pointed out that theteamsters had but little right, by reason<"f th» natur" of th*ir emplc}*niAnt. to ex-pect to become part and parcel of theTrades Council, and though the applica-tion of the Teamsters' Union for admis-sion is now with th? Trades Council, thesame will net be acted upen for sometime.
A^i<i» from the team*tprs=" apparent lackof support the contractors point to th?fart that the teamsters— not In any senseof the word being skilled laborer.*— areraid fair waets- frcra Jl 3 to S2 a day.Thf-!r demand for I.Z- 1 diy. shorterhours and otht-r concessions will, hence.not be granted. The contractors alsoraised the point that even if before thestrike the teamsters were entitled to beheard, tneir lack of consideration for theiremployers, many of whom have contractscovering Icr.g periods ahead, no longerentitle? them to this privilege-
The brarcir.g-house plan, which is in useby some of the contractor*, is anothersource of grievance to the t"am«t?r*."While it is true that a few contractorshave boarding-houses, which, in their de-fens-?, the contractors say keep nUiny ofth<? e»s away from saloons and in a con-dition to work, all do not run these places,notably Gray Brothers: but the teamster-did not discriminate between contractorswho did or did not conduct boarding-houses. This fact, in addition to othersstated, swerved as a further Incentive forthe contractors to go ahead and ignorethe Teamsters" Union.
Many teams were running yesterday.Advertisements inserted in the dallypapers called many teamsters to laborand within the next few days the con-tractors say they will be running fullforce and the Teamsters' Union willhavelost its fipht.
The striking team drivers are awaitinga chanc in weather conditions beforephowirs: their strength. They met Inforce yesterday at their headquarters at1155 Mission street and discussed theirplans for the future. The storm prevent-ed much outside work.

A message from LJnden thia afternoonstated that Mormon Channel was bankfullat that point and ns:n? fast. The Cala-vera3 River had overflowed and floodedmany farms and a part of the town of.Unden. The Prather and TVltherlyranches were under water. At that timeit was raining hard and LJndea residentswere moving goods out cf their cellars.The operator sent word that Fair Oakspeople be warned to look out for veryhigh water before morning.

He re-gretted that some concession could notbe made on account of the parents of thedefendant, but it was the duty of thecourt to uphold the example contained invhelr lives and to protect societv at large,and not to uphold or palliate the unlawfulacts which it believed were committed bythe defendant.
The Judge went on to say that he d!dnot believe the story told by the defend-ant, but believed that he was the author

ONE CRUSADER BADLY HTJRT-
L.EAVENWORTH. Kans., Feb. 19.—Twenty masked farmers with shotgunsattempted to raid a saloon in Millwood, asmall place fourteen miles north of here,
last night, and in the melee that followedMrs. Rose Hudson, wife of the bartender,
v.as instantly killed,her head being com-pletely blown off. William Webb, one ofthe raiders, was shoi.in the arm and two
or three others were slightly injured. Onehundred shots were nred. To-day Johnand Henrs "Wilson, ycung farmers, mem-bers of the mob. were arrested and war-rants are out for others implicated. Thetown is in a fever of excitement andfurther trouble is threatened.
The saloon was run by Mrs. MichaelLochn^r She had been warned to closetre place by Monday, but refused. At 10o'clock last night twenty men. all armedand wearing handkerchiefs for masks,approached the saloon. Two of the num-ber. Jo* Turner and John Wllburn. en-tered and ordered drinks. Bartender Hud-son had scarcely oet the glasses on thebar when the men eave a signal. Imme-diately the door -was burst open and themarked men rushed into the place.
Half a dozen shotguns were raised to
the celling and nre«.i. apparently to showthe saloon-keeper that the raiders meantbusiness while two men approachedHudson
'with leveled guns. . Hudson
prabbed the barreis of both for an in-
stant then fell to the floor. The runs¦were discharged as he fell, the charge
from one striking the wall and that fromthe second piercing the stove.Mrs. Hudson rushed to the scene from
the livingrooms in the rear and stood inthe doorway. She had barely reached thespot when a gun was leveled at the doorand discharged. The shot struck her Inthe forehead above the eyes, and she fell,mortally wounded. Hudson rushed to his
wife's side to ftld her, but she died beforehe could carry her to another room.
During the shooting William Webb, oneof the raiders, vram accidentally shot Inthe arm, and two or three others -werewounded slightly. A few more shots werefired, but the mob. alarmed at the killing
of Mrs. Hudson, quickly left the placewithout stopping to destroy the Iiquor3and fixtures.
Anticipating the attack. Hudson hadgathered about him ten armed men. They,however, being taken by surprise, werestampeded, and this fact and the killingof Mrs. "Hudson probably prevented abloody riot.
The affray lasted but a few minutes, anddetails were not learned until this morn-Ing, the raider? having" gone quietly totheir homes. The members .of the partyare all believed to be young farmers wholive near Millwood.

WICHITA, Kans.. Febl 19.—In view ofthe fact that many armed men are arriv-ing 1In.

been removed Jn compliance with the ordersent to them a week ago. So alarming
has become the situation that Mayor Al-bright this afternoon issued a proclama-tion declaring
'Winfield in a. state cf ter-
ror and orderinc all good citizens to go
armed to-morrow and use their be?t In-fluence to prevent bloodshed. The Mayorsavs the situation is critical and he ex-pects bloodshed unless the -saloon men go.No less than a thousand temperance "peo-ple have armed themselves to run out thesaloon men tomorrow at noon and smashall their fixtures. The saloon fixtureshave been stored and the saloon men re-fuse to ship them out of town.
A visrllance committee to-day issued anorder threatening to hang any saloon man¦who harmed any crusader. Women willgo with the ministers and other temper-ance people. Raids are expected on theWinfield Commercial Club, which Is com-posed of young business men. The clubis suspected of serving liquor to its mem-bers.
