VISALIA, CaL., Aug. 12.—Ten or twelve men and two teams this morning began to in that part of the Jennings ditch runs through town, between the line ‘hurch and Locust streets. The pres- ence of a number of dead fish brought on this proceeding. The water was shut out on the Jennings ditch last week, and great numbers of carp were stranded all along the ditch when the water disappeared. By Friday the dying fish beganito make their odoriferous pres- ence known, and the people whose resi- dences are near the banks of the ditch, at once vigorously objected. The consent of property-owners was secured and teams were put to work'to plow along the sides of the ditch. The loose earth was then shoveled inte the ditch by a number of men. The bridge on Court street across the ditch was torn up. The Jennings ditch is one of the very oldest irrigating ditches in this part of the San Joaquin Valley.

TWO STOCKTON SUICIDES, The Body of an Unknown Man Found Hanging From a Pier. Theodore Raedsch Grew Despon- dent and Took a Dose of Poison. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 12.—An un- known man was found this morning hang- ing between a pier in Mormon Channel and the wharf near Church street. It was evidently a case of suicide, as the man was clearly in destitute circumstances. The rope with which he was hanged was only a small baling-rope and was tied to the iron band at the top of the pier. After the rope had been tied the man evidently jumped from the wharl. His neck was not broken, however, and death was caused by rangulation. The deceased was a man of slight build i {and fully six feet and a half an inch in | height. His dark brown hair was cut short and his face was clean-shaven, with the exception of the mustache, which was | a reddish-brown. He wore a sack suit of blue-black cheviot, and a white shirt which minus a collar.

This made Raedsch despondent, and several times re- ?e_mlw,\fv he had threatened to put an end to his life. Yesterday morning Raedsch told the em- | ployes in Tons’ saloon that he had taken poison, but they did not believe him. Then he produced the bottle that had contained the drug, but even then they thought he was not in earnest. The proprietor, how- e ook the bottle to a druggist, who told him what the drug was. By thistime Raedsch had become drowsy from the ef- | fects of the poison and the men in the saloon became alarmed at his condition. hack was summoned and he was con- d at once to Clarke Hospital.

He is very weak, however, and probably will be for some time, His rheumatism hus been checked under Dr. Sargent’s treatment and does not trouble him as much as 1t did. —_——— SANTA ANA’S SUIT. Farmers Bring Action to Prevent the Monepolizing of Water . SANTA ANA, CaL., Aug. 12.—A big water suit was bezun here to-day that is of far more than ordinary interest to the farmers of the eastern portion of the Santa Ana Valley. The case was brought by be- tween 200 and 500 owners of farms near the mouth of Santiago Canyon, through which a small creek flows, whose lands have been impoverished by the waters of the g at the Southern Pacjfic Com- | y’s freight depot.

It was expected that it would begin this morning on this section, but one of the contractors said this afternoon that it would be several days before the | force of men and teams wiil be put to work on the north side of the channel. The Valley Railway Company to-night diverted by the owners of the ranch. The water was brought over by the own- ers of this big ranch to irrigate about 30,000 acres of grain land. To the owners | of the big ranch the new canal, over which a fight is being made, means water for a large portion of the ranch, while to the farmers it means, at least to many of them, bread and butter.

NEWS OF MARE: ISLAND, The Olympia Likely to Make a Test Speed Run to Honolulu. It Is Thought the Average Time of the Coiumbla Wil Be Beaten. VALLEJO, Cav., Aug. 12.—1t is expect- ed that the Olympia will drop down to San Francisco the latter part of this week. She will coal there and after making her final preparations for sea will leave for China. Some days ago a rumor came from Washington that the ship would make a cruise along the upper coast, calling at the important ports along Oregon and Wash- ington, with a view to giving the people of that part of the United States an oppor- tunity of seeing ‘‘the fastest of her class.” Captain_Reed, however, is not in receipt of nn{ instructions to this effect, and un- less they come within a few days he will take his ship to the Orient via Honoluln. During the past day or two there has been some talk of speeding the new cruiser between here and the islands in order to compare her with the Columbia, which has just completed a test run from En‘lmd to ew York. Such has been the interest excited among naval officers hereabouts, many having expressed the opinion that the Olympia can beat the Eastern fiyer, Captain Reed has asked permission of ‘the department to use his discretion as to speed in goinfi west, and it has been granted. Should Captain Reed conclude to send his vessel through the water against time, which at ?reunt he feels strongly inclined to do, at least as far as Boncfiulu, the engines will simply be run at their best rate. No forced draught will be brought to bear. The Olympia will never, in the opinion of some officers, be in such excellent con- dition for a fair speed test as she will when she sails from San Francisco this time. She will not be bandicapped as was the Columbia on her receat run across the Atlantic by the result of a faulty dock- ing. Our cruiser has just been cleaned thoroughly underneath, her engines and boilers have only recently undergone a Government test and pronounced in per- fect condition. She is trimmed to a nicety as regards her loading and her officers are ex&erienued and interested men. hile it is not definitely settled yet whether the test run will be made, it is retty well assured that Captain Reed feels disposed to find out just what his ship can 0.

Mexicans Make Short Work of the Fron- teras Gang. 3 S TUCSON, Ariz., Avg. 12.—Star advices from Fronteras, Sonora, Mexico, report: Six weeks ago Colonel John Weir's mes- senger was killed and $6000 taken by high- waymen in Sonora, scuth of Bisbee. Mexican authorities have pursued the bandits with unrelenting vigor. Seven- teen of the number captured who were in some way concerned in the affair have been convicted and shot, and one Tribolet, an American, with forty others, who be- longed or sympathized with the robbers, have been impressed in the Mexican army. Nearly all taken were from Fronteras. Every member of the band of robbers which has infected that region has been shot or is under arrest. WINNERS AT DEL MONTE Mr. De Long and Miss Clark Triumphed in the Mixed Doubles. The Full Five Sets Played Before the Match Was Dé- cided. DEL MONTE, CaL., Aug. 12.—The finals of the tennis mixed doubles between Miss Alice Hoffman and T. Driscoll and Miss Clark and George de Long were played off this morning before a fair-sized audience, | The match had been postponed from Sat- urday, and had been looked forward to with great interest by the guests of the hotel, for the two young ladies participat- ing have shown what could be done by the fair sex in an athletic line if they ‘“had a mind to.” Miss Clark and De Long finally won the match, but not until the whole five sets had been played and every point made by hard work. The knowing ones at the ho- tel had predicted a different result, but tennis as is fickle as a horserace. The first set showed the spectators what kind of a match it was to be, for the gen- tlemen took all the balls they could reach and returned them to the ladies. To this the loss of the first set by Miss Hoffman end Driscoll was probably due. Driscoll was placing too many balls to De Long. He did not like to change his gnme,‘nut bad the alternative of doing that or suffering defeat. As it was he Jost the first set before he realized his position. The ladies played véry well whenever they received an opportunity. Miss Hoffman drove exceedingly well and made back-hand volleys which would have done credit to any professional. The set was finally won by Miss Clark and De Long by 70 5. Driscoll and his partner held a short consultation, and when play had com- menced on the next set a marked differ- ence in their play was noticed, they both taking the net where heretofore only Mr. Driscoll had been going. These tactics evened matters considerably and resalted in_their carrying off the set by 8 to 10. Miss Clark did some very pretty lobbing during this set. The third set was a hotly contested one, and finally went to Miss Clark and De Long by the score of 6 to 4. This gave them two sets to Miss Hoffman and Dris- coll's one, and it looked as though they were out of the hunt. Taking a brace, however, they won this set by the close score of 7 to 9. Miss Clark and Miss Hoffman had now got down to work with a vengeance and made things very lively for any stray balls dropping in their uninterrupted vicinity. The fifth and last set was much closer than the score would indicate, but De Long and Miss Clark assumed the lead, which is a very important thing in a match of this kind, and although their opponents looked exceedingly dangerous at one time, they maintained their advantage and won the game by 6 to 2, and with it the match and tournament. This entitles them ,to the beautiful cut-glass salts bottle and silver-mounted flask, which were the first prizes offered by the hotel for the winners of the mixed doubles. Thus tbe second annual invitation doubles and mixed doubles of the Hotel del Monte ended. The tournament throughout has proved a decided success, being well attended. From indications it would seem that this event will be one of the annual fixtures in tennis circles. P Sy Asked to Be Made Guardian. SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 12.—George D. Smith to-day filed a petition asking to be appointed guardian of the person and estate of Victorine Boiseranc, an insane person.
