SANTA ROSA, Carn., Nov. 14.—After being out an bour and twenty minutes the jury in the case of Harry Hall versus the city of Santa Rosa returned a verdict for the plaintiif for the sum of $3000. The case has been a long and tedious one, both sides having produced a great deal of evidence. Hall claimed $5000 dameges alleged by him to be caused by noxious odors and other bad effects arising from the city sewer farm, which adjoins his place. Ilis family’s health had been impaired and his land had depreciated in value owing to the close proximity of the nuisance. l ear about three acres of his hop yard could not be cultivated to advantage owing to the seepage from the sewer farm. He bad made complaints to the city officials on several occasions as to the state of affairs, but they had taken no notice. Hence the action. City Aftorney Cowan conducted the case the city. J. T. Campbell and A. B. are were the plaintiff’s attorneys. The verdict caused some astonishment, for al- though the general opinion was that the plaintiff would get a verdict, yet it was thought it would not be for such a large su everal other sewage cases against the city on the calendar, and they will be proce d with at once. The out- look is rather a serious one for the city. There are OF TRAL FOR - BIGAMY, De Ferrer Appears in Judge Lor- igan’s Court at San Jose.

PORT ANGELES, Wasn., Nov. 14.— Ex-Treasurer M. J. Clump received his sentence to-day in the Superior Court and will spend six years in the penitentiary for having embezzled county funds while act- ingas Treasurer for Clallam County. Nearly one year has elapsed since Clump was first arrested on a charge of embezzlement.

He was finally cap- tured at Boise City, Idaho, and when ar- rested was working as a farm-hand ina harvest field.

Doland Bound Over at San Bernar- dino for Peculating From the Red Cloud. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 14.— A few months ago those in charge of the Red Cloud mine at Calico noticed that the mine and disposed of in some manner that was a mystery to the owners and managers. An investigation brought about a judi- | cial complaint against M. F. Doland, for- | merty an employe of the mine. It was | discevered that Doland put the ore in a couple of trunks and shipped the trunks to a second-class hotel in Los Angeles. There he took the ore out of the trunks and over to the Wells-Fargo office, where he shipped it to the Selby Smelting Works at San Francisco with_ instructions to re- mit to him at Los Angeles.

She is of 453.67 gross tonage, 392.82 net. Her length is 392.82 feet, breadth 36 feet, depth 11:8 feet. Theé Maweema is a fine example of the first-class, thoroughly shipshape work turued out by this veteran builder. The vessel is owned principally by Dolbeer & Carson, and is to be used in connection with their extensive lumber husiness. She will immediately load a cargo of lum- ber for Newport, on the lower coast. The vessel has a full complement of the latest improved marine appliances, includ- ing a steam hoisting gear built by the Humboldt Iron Works and Eureka Boiler Works of this city. She wiil be com- manded by Captain Smith, late of the schooner Una. The Maweema cost about $40,000. Mr. Bendixen has the keel laid for another schooner a trifle larger than the one just launched. The Maweema has a carrying capacity of 590,000 feet of lumber, while the ofe under construction will carry 600,000 feet. H. D. Bendixen is a native of Denmark who came to Califor- | nia via the Horn in 1863. He has always been identified with this industry, and in | 1869 came to Eureka and took a contract to build the schooner Fairy Queen fora San Francisco company. hasbuilt eighty-seven vessels, among them the largest sailing vessel ever built in Cali- fornia, the four-masted barkentine Jane L. Stanfora of 922 tons net tonnage and a carrying capacity of 1,200,000 feet of lumber. ‘The outlook for the ship-building indus- try on Humboldt Bay was never brighter than at present. All timber required is cheap and easily obtainable, and the Gov- ernment improvements at the entrance to the harbor has made it possible to send out the largest vessels. The depth of water in the bay is suffi- cient to float any craft and there are num- erous available sites for the location of shipyards. This port is equally convenient toall the harbors on the coast and being in tne heart of the lumber region, a cargo can al- ways be obtained as soon as the vessel is completed. These conditions point to the inevitable conclusion that Humboldt Bay is destined to become the most important ship- building point of the Pacific Coast. & s DROWNED AT SEA. Mate Charles Stevenson Lost OfF the Schooner Alice. EUREKA, Car, Nov. 14.—The schooner Alice, lumber vessel, plying between this port and San Pedro, was towed into port this morning with her flag at half-mast.

The ship was in latitude 34 deg. 15 min. north and longitude 128 deg. 8 min. west. The boat was lowered, but nothing could be seen of the unfortunate sailor. DID NOT DO MURDER, The Nevada Sheep-Herders Found to Be Alive and Unhurt. RENO, NEv., Nov. 14.—The story of the killing of two sheep-herders at Flanigan’s Pyramid sheep ranch is all a myth, em- anating from the brain of an insane man, Sheriff Caughlin and P. L. Flanigan, who went out to the ranch yecsterday imme- diately after the repert reached here, re- turned late this evening. They had found the two sheep-herders alive and well. They investigated the matter there and found that Merrill, thé man who saidhe committed the crimes, had been in love with the daugnter of Benoist,the man whom he implicated in the murder: : Be- noist refused to allow his daughter to as- sociate with Merrill, / - B This preyed on the latter's mind and caused insanity, Merrill'had‘clplmid that Benoist had an irresistible.power over him and compelled him to commijt the crimes. The insane man was examined by physi- cians to-day and committed totheasylum.

Sait was brought against Seymour and his bondsnien by Mrs. Hart- man, at the triai of which the plaintiff’s allegation was proven, and Judge Otis mngnréd a judgment in her favor for §800 -;1‘;] costs. It s thought no appeal will be taken. ARGUING BRADY'S CASE. Wheatland Train-Robber Story Reviewed by Counsel at Marysville. L. V. Hitchcock Talked for Five | Hours to the Jury for the | Prosecution. | BT i MARYSVILLE, CarL.,, Nov. 14.—Before the argument began in the Brady trial this morning the defense showed a fear |for what might still be lurking in the mind of Juror Sawtelle because of his sus- picion relative to the presence of the wit- ness, Prather, in the courtroom during the trial. Mr. Sawtelle was agked 1f he could weigh the testimony of this witness with the same care that he would give all the rest. He thought he could. L. V. Hitchcock of Tehama County opened the argument. He carried the minds of the jurors over the whole of the evidence. His argument was an excel- lent array of the testimony of the case for the prosecution. He marshaled all the evidence in a masterly way, and his de- ductions were concisely put and clearly made. He laid special stress on the evi- dence of voung Silvers, the man with whom Brady talked on the road to Cot- tonwood and to whom Brady volunteered information in the art of train-robbery. *‘When they came to Marysville,” said counsel, “where there was a likelihood of being traced, they both went to the United States Hotel. There was a register. The dead robber used the name 8. Maguire, the name he bore when he lived in these varts; but the defendant did not do any- thing like that. No; he used the name J. Johnson. ‘*After one night spent there the defend- ant went to an obscure hotel, where they kept no register, where he might leave no track. They went to Oroville, and there defendant used another name—J. Williams or 8. Browning. “‘Wherever you find the men you find that M:Fuire went boldly about his busi- ness, and this defendant was going about in that characteristic scheming style, always looking abead and providing any Wway to avoid detection. He was right when he said to Silvers ‘The schemer got away.’ " He closed his five hours’ speech with a plea for the jury to do its full and entire duty, and the court adjourned till to-mor- row morning at 9:30 o’clock, when E. A. Forbes will talk for the defense. i gl Another Redwood Burglary. REDWOOD CITY, Cax., Nov. 14.—An- other burglary was committed last night at a time when the Sheriff's posse and a Southern Pacific detective were scouring the country to get a trace of the safe- crackers who robbed the Southern Pacific passenger degot on Wednesday morning. This time C. Peterson’s store on Mound street was entered. The burglars removed some glass from the window and. crawied through. Once inside they picked out some of the best stock, thus intimating a knowledge of the premises, as not enough noise was made to disturb the family who slept in the second story over the store. Some shoes, silk handkerchiefs and other furnishing goods were stolen. e i Fire in Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 14—A fire broke out in 8. W. Hardesty's store at Neery this morning. The origin is un- | known. The loss, surance. $3000, is covered by in- | caj cated on Seaman’s Guich, above the Shasta Lumber Company's dump and fourteen miles from Redding. De Laschmidt and Joyce quarreled over a mining claim. The fight occurred on the banks of Seaman’s Gulch, and as the shot was fired from Joyce’s revolver De Laschmidt fell backward into the water of the siream. Joyce, it is said, pulled his victim from the water and laid the body on the bank. Then he went to a camp near by and noti- fied some men of the affair. Word was at once sent to Redding by telephone from the dump and this afternoon Bheriff Houston and Coroner Earnest left for the scene of the shooting. It is thought the Coroner’s inquest will not be held until to-morrow morning, after which the prisoner, who had surrendered himself, will be brought to Redding. Sasagu a Mrs. Miller Sees Elephants. REDDING, Car, Nov. 14.—The exam- ination of Mrs. Mary L. J. Miller, who killed her husband last August, and who has just been acquitted of murder by reason of insanity, will be held to-morrow. There is no .doubt but that Mrs. Miller is insane. She imagines she sees elephants and other large animals walking in and out of her cell. e Redding a Lively Town. REDDING, CArL., Nov. 14.—Redding was never livelier than it is at the present time. The hotels are overcrowded and houses are in great demand. New busi- nesses are being started daily and there is plenty of money circulating. — NOT A RUSSIN NIILST, Arnold Levine Firm in His Story of Kovalev's Guilt of the Weber Murders. Said He Believed the Czar Has Power Over All the World and California. 4 SACRAMENTO, CAL., Nov. 14.—The at- torneys for the defense in the Kovaley trial recalled Arnold Levine this morning and questioned him severely as to his sns- pected connection with the dreaded third section or Russian secret service police whose power is alleged to reach into every portion of the inhabited world. Levine frankly acknowiedged that his sympathies were in favor of the reigning power in hismother country. He had been a student in a Russian College, but had never been associated with the Russian students’ nihilistic club, nor did he possess any nihilistic tendencies. He strenuously denied that be was in any way afliliated with the third section, and that while a member of the Russian-Greek Church in San Francisco he had never taken sides with either the Czar or anti-Czar factions, He was no believer, he said, in religion, and only went to church through habit. He acknowledged that Kovaley had in- formed him that he was a nihilist, but he claimed that he did -not believe the asser- tion. He said that he firmly believed that the OCzar of all the Russias had supreme power in all portions of the world, not only in California, but elsewhere. ‘When asked to describe the style of dress worn by Kovalev when they were in Sac- ramento together, previous to the maurder, he said that the latter wore a soft black hat with a brim and did not have a lone coat. This was in direct contradiction of the testimony of George H. Jost, who claimed that when he saw Kovaley stand- ing before the' Weber residence on the evening of the murder he was dressed in a long, striped overcoat and wore a glazed Pl , ‘‘What was your object in following these men around the country?’ asked Major Anderson, counsel for the defense. "i did not follow them around.

I don’t care if it were my own brother.” “Now, is it not a fact,” pursued the major, ‘‘that you were afraid that you would be implicated in this affair?” This the witness denied strenuously. On the redirect examination the witness s: one of his brothers was a priest in Russian Greek church in San Francisco. During the afternoon session the cloth- ing worn by Tscherbakoff when killed in San Jose was introduced in evidence, and | two of ihe police officials of that place | identified it. 1 was g KOVALEV'S VISITOR. === i Olga Godenka Asks Him to Confess or Explain. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Nov. 14.—A Rus- sian woman, Olga Godenka of Sonoma County, who has taken sone interest in Kovalev’s case, arrived here to-night. She had by letter advised him if guilty to con- fess his crime, but if innocent to explain where he was on the night of the murder, and how he came by the clothing of the murdered man. Mrs. Godenka went with the District Attorney to see Kovalev. It was thought he would confess to her, but he asked to be allowed to think the matter over until to- | morrow. He assured her, however, that he had told all to his lawyers, and referred her to them. Tt is quite likely that at any moment the case may have a sudden ter- mination. WEDDED AT SMH DIEED. Dr. Edward Strong Bogert andi Miss Evangeline Wade Married. | Most Brilliant Affair Ever Witnessed in That City by the Sea. St | SAN DIEGO, CaL., Nov. 14.—The most | recherche affair of the season in this city was the marriage to-night of Miss Evan- geline Wade, only daughter of K. H. Wade, general manager of the Southern Califor- nia Railway, to Dr. Edward Strong Bogert of the United States steamer Albatross. Tne marriage took place at St. Paul's Church. The elaborate decorations of the church have seldom been equaled in Southern California. Bishop Nichols officiated. The maid of honor was Miss Adine Man- vel of Chicago, the bridesmaids Miss Theresa Rossington of Topeka and Miss Alice Holliday of St. Louis. After the ceremony a reception was held at the Wade mansion at Coronado, across the bay, and hundreds of guests from all over the West were present. A special train brought about fifty prominent per- sons from Los Angeles to the reception. This train will leave on its return north at midnight carrying the visitors and Dr. Bogert and bride, who will make an ex- | tended honeymoon trip.

C., Nov. 14.—The trial of John Smith for the murder of | Chris Benson, who betrayed Smith’s wife on Reed Island, was concluded this even- ing. The jury retarned a verdict of | acquittal after hours of deliberation. The ! Judge had charged strongly against the prisoner, and when the verdict was an- nounced the crowd cheered greatly.

An English Customs From Which Dunraven Derived His Ildea for His Charges. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 15.—A special cable dispatch to the Sun from London | says: There is another phase of the America cup controversy which will not | contribute to any possible settlement of Lord Dunraven’s scandalous charges. It has to do with Dunraven’s reasons for his suspicions and his early insistence | regarding the marking of the Defender’s water-line. These reasons are, it is stated, that the crew of the Vigilant was suspected of tampering with her ballast during her racing season here last year in the same manner as the crew of the Defender is now accused of doing. | Talk of this sort was heard a year ago but dismissed as unworthy of considera- tion. It was revived this week, however, and as the controversy proceeds it will probably become an important element in the case from the English standpoint. One of Lord Dunraven’s friends insisted yesterday with unmistakable sincerity that there is no doubt the Vigilant’s ballast was “jockeyed” in last year’s English races. No fuss was made about it, he said, be- | cause it was desired to avoid just what | Dunraven has now precipitated. Lord Dunraven, it is stated by his friends, expresses no regret for his recent action. On the other hand its effect is much what he expected and desired. His main object was to secure an investigation, and it is understood that he is quite will- ing to contribute evidence in such an in- quiry. alngs FARMERS FOUGHT TO THE DEATH Two Floridans Met While Mounted and Riddled Each Other With Rifle Bullets, NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 15.—A Re- corder special from Westville, Fla., says: George Phillips and John McLain, promi- nent farmers, fought a duel to the death near Wetappa in Washington County yes- terday. Last spring John Walker, Mec- Luin's nephew, killed a man near Eufala, Alal, and fled to his uncle’s home for refuge. A reward was offered by the Ala- bama authorities, and Phillips betrayed the fugitive’s whereabouts. This incensed McLain and he swore to be revenged on Phillips. The men met yesterday for the first time since the be- trayal. He was mounted and carried a rifle. They rode toward each other furi- ously, firing as rapidly as possible. The men fell from their saddles. Phil- lips had been shot four times, one of the bullets penetrating the brain and causing deatnh. McLain had been shot twice, one bullet piercing the left lung and inflicting a mortal wound, | NEW TO-DAY. AGLESON & Co. WINTER Underwear From 50c each up to the very best.
