Vice-Consul Godbe Secures the Freedom of Seymour Jackson. CHOOSING VISALIA'S QUEEN. Charges Against Governor Hughes of Arizona Now Belng In- vestigated. TULARE, CaL,, May 25.—An attempt at the culture of silkworms, which has re- sulted successfully, adds another industry to the many of Tulare County. It has been proven by experiment that the in- dustrious little creatures thrive in this climate, and the manufacture of an ex- cellent grade of silk is one of the possibili- ties of the future in Tulare. Some weeks ago Frank Griffino received from Italy a few eggs of the silkworm, which hatched in a few days, and to-day he has thousandsof the little insects in the various stages of their transformation. The worms are in a perfectly healthy con- dition and readily spin their cocoons, which are hard, compact and of the very best quality of silk. Mr. Griffino says the soil and climate are well adapted to the culture of the mulberry tree, which is an important factor in silk- worm cultivation. He is enthusiastic over his experiment, and prophesies that seri- culture will soon be one of the leading in- dustries of this count WALKS FROM ENSENADA'S JAIL.

That atthe bank was effected by unlocking the door with a key, opening the safe by the combination and extracting $3000 in gold and. green- backs. Jackson has resumed ‘his duties as cashier at the bank, Godbe being absent in San Francisco.

The old pay chute, which has been lost for some years, was again struck, and the ore is fiterally scaly with glittering gold. This body of ore was uncovered some four years ago, and ‘at that time great excitement prevailed over it. The ore is immensely rich, and the proprietors are of course jubi- lant. The new works start up Monday. Rain Aids the Crops. REDDING, CaL., May 25.—A light rain set in here this morning and has contin- ued without cessation all day.

HOW MR. BUDD WAS WARNED. The Yearly Increase of Coyotes In Kern County Aroused the Ex- ecutive’s Suspicions. SACRAMENTO, Can., May 2.—It is claimed that the confidential agent of the Kern County Grand Jury was dispatched to Sacramento for the purpose of compar- ing the aflidavits of coyote scalp depositors now on file in the County Clerk’s office of Kern County with the demand certificates made by that official upon the State, and it is rumored that gross irregularities have been discovered between the two claims. In the meantime, the certificates in charge of the Board of Examiners are being guarded with jealous care, and the board absolutely refuses to allow their return to Kern County unless required for evidence. The form of the eertificate as drafted by Secretary Pratt of the State Board of Ex- aminers has been the result of longand careful study upon the part of that official, and is consequently very binding, afford- ing no loophole of escape from felony charges should there be any fraud perpe- trated in the destructiomof scalpsor the raising of icertificates. A specimen copy is as follows: 1, John Doe, Clerk of the Board of Superyisors of the County of ——, State of California, pur- suant to the order of said board passed —, do hereby certify -that James Doe during the quarter ending December, 1894, has deposited five scalps; that each scalp contained the nose and ears, and that each and all have been duly destroyed by fire in my presence; and there is due the said depositor from the State of *California the sum of «§25; and further certify that the affidavit of said depositor is on file in this office, wherin he doth depose and say that the coyotes were killed by him; that said scalps.were presented within three months after the coyotes were killed; that said coyotes were killed within this county, and that none of the coyotes were brought from outside the limits of California; and said affidavit further states the time and place that each animal was killed. The jfact that gross frauds have been perpetrated upon the State in the matter of claims for bounty on coyote scalps has long been known to the members of the Board of Examiners, as evinced by the re- port of Secretary Pratt for the present year, in which appears the following, un- —_— THE SECRET.
