SANTA CRUZ, Carn., Jan. 4.—A com- plaint was filed in the Superior Court this | morning by Fred W.

In his com- plaint he prays for judgment for $3500 for services rendered in floating a loan for $67,800 in February last. The Electric Light and Power Company, prior to February of last year, negotiated a loan of $40,000 from the City Bank of this ity and for security gave bonds for $30,000, th the agreement that should the bonds not be taken up in one 'stime the bank | should become the owner of them, thus making $50,000 the company owed the Dank L5stoad of $i0000.a 1083 of 310,000 to the company.

This gear is one of the largest on the coast, and when erected at the Union will be more than able to handle all the water there. The main tunnel of the Union is now being retin bered and will be finished within six weeks. By that time the pump will be erected and the hoisting machinery will be in position, when sinking will be resumed in the main shaft and the mill started on ore from the 300 level. There are now thirty men employed at the Union. The Watson mine at Butte Uity has been bonded by San Francisco parties, and a 10-stamp mill is to be erected at once.

Y., Jan. 4.—The action for libel brought by David Gideon, the turfman, against Phillip Dwyer, the chair- man of the jockey club, in which heclaims $50,000 damages, was up on a motion in the Supreme Court chambers yesterday before Judge Beekman. The case has been repeatedly before the court. Gideon alleges that Dwyer made charges damaging o his standing on the turf, at a race meeting held in St. Louis some years ago. Dwyer, Gideon says, allezed that he was guilty of underhand dealing in turf transactions, and made other similar state- ments. Judge Beekman yesterday entered judg- ment and ordered a writ of inquiry to issue ta the Sheriff to assess the damages in the suit. — NO AGREEMENT REACHED.

Now a state- ment of the position will be made to the Rio Grande Western management by the Western Passenger Association, and re- ) newed efforts will be made to get the Utah line to join the association. It was defi- mitely settled at this meeting that the Colo- HENRY MILLER, THE CATTLE KING OF CALIFORNIA. [Reproduced from a photograph.] charge of contempt which may mean a term in the County Jail. The diflicuity arose out of a dispute over lands. On October 16, 1895, Kutner & Huffman of Fresno leased from E. B. Per- ten miles west of Madera. This land is all under fence and was rented by Kutner & Huffman as sheep pasture. The lessees took immediate possession of the premises and occupied thera until a few days ago. In December, 1895, Perrin contracted the of San Jose, for the purpose of making a sale, Griffith representing that he could settle a colony thereon. This he failed to beginning January 1, 1896, to the Miller & Lux.estate. This, it is claimed, was with- out the knowledge of Perrin and presum- ably outside of the agreement between himself and Griffith. On December 23 Miller drove 600 head of cattle to the land, broke down the fence and turned them into the pasture. He was at once notified by Kutner & Huffman whereupon Kutner them out. The cattle were driven back by Miller the same day, and armed men were placed by him along the fence to prevent any further action by Kutner & Huffman. ¥ Morrison, g man with a record of baving killed several men. Huffman then had J. F. Warren, Miller’s the vaqueros under his charge, arrested, charging them with forcible entry and detainer. They were released on nominal bail. Suit was brought on January 2by Kutner & Huffman against Miller and others, and an injunction issued to restrain them from occupying the lands. This injunction was served the same day upon Miller, but in disregard of it he again yesterday caused the fence to be broken down and his cattle turned into the pasture. To-day warrants were again issued for the arrest of Warren and the vaqueros, but so far no return has been made upon them. R e SARAH BERNHARDT COMING, The Great Actress Leaves Havre America.

Various Elements That Would Be Welcomed Into the Ranks of the Populists. | CHICAGO, IrL., Jan. 4.—The fact de- veloped this afternoon that an imvortant move is on foot looking to a rounding up of representative members of all reform | parties, sucn as the Bimetallic League, Prohinitionists, Woman Suffragists, Grangers, Trades Unionists, etc., at the time and place that may be fixed for the national convention of the People’s party with the view of forming a coalition of these elements and the placing in the field of a union Presidential ticket. The National Committee of the Popu- lists meets at St. Louis a week from next Friday for thie purpose of deciding upon the place and date for holding the conven- | tion, and that city, as well as Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Dallas, Atlanta, Omaha and Kansas City are in the field for the privi- | lege of entertaining the delegates | The Tllinois committee has also been ‘}uletly working to the same end, and i sugene Smith, the National committee- | man from this State, has bren in corre- spondence with leading members of the party West and South. The nu- | merous replies that he has received have developed the existence of a remarkably strong sentiment in favor of inviting the sil- | ver, temperance and other reform clements | to meet with the Pcpulists for conference a day or two before the National Conven- | tion, and the National Committee at its | forthcoming meeting will be asked either | to so word its call as to lay the ground- work of such a union, or issue a special in- vitation to all retorm parties to meet at the time and place for which the conven- tion may be set. Committeeman Smith said this after- noon that, from the extent of his corre- spondence, he was satisfied that every State in the Union would be represented by its full complement of delegates and al- ternates, and that it would be one of the | largest National political gatherings of the | year. Aotk b AN INSARE MAN WMAY HANG. | Complications That Pr_vent the Governor of Nebraska From Interfering With the Execution. LINCOLN, NgBr., Jan. 4.—Unless action ,b,v the proper officials is speedily taken John B. Walker of Lexingtcn, Dawson County, will be hanged on January 10 for murder. Walker is insane—at least Gov- ernor Holcomb is now so convinced, as are many neighbors of the condemned man, | The Governor is interested in the case, and at the same time worried, inasmuch as he presided at the trial and sentenced Walker while he was District Judge. Walker lived the life of a hermit, and killed a neighbor who ventured on his land. The law provides that county officials where the crime was committed must pass on a j condemned man’s sanity; but, possibly owing to the bitter feeling against him, this has not been done, and he has no friends to intercede. As a last resort the Governor may grant a temporary reprieve. CHANCES OF BLACKBIAN, There Is a Prospect of a Bitter Struggle for the Kentucky Senatorship. As at Present Constituted, the Legisla- ture Is Equally Divided by Demo- crats and Republicans. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 4—The bien- nial session of the Kentucky Legislature coavenes Tuesday. The Senatorial con- test overshadows all other questions, and there is no talk about legislation. The Senate is Democratic, and can kill any leg- 1slation the House and Governor may at- tempt to get throuyh. The session of the Legislature is limited to sixty days, and under the law the vot- ing for Senator cannot begin until two weeks after the first day of the session. Up to yesterday it was the opinior. of many that there would ba no election and Senator Blackburn’s seat would be vacant from March 4, 1896, until the Legislature met again in 1898 On joint ballot, without unseating any Democrat, the Legislature now stands: Democrats 68, Republicans 68, Populists 2. The House Republ s intend to unseat Kauiman (D.) of Lexington and perhaps Tompkins (D.) of Owensboro. The Demo- crats, however, claim that there is no evi- dence on which this can be done. Congressman W. Godfrey Hunter of the Third District will in all probability re- ceive the Republican nomination for United States Senator. Congressman Walter Evans and Augustus E. Wilson, both of this city, are prominent candi- dates, but Hunter has all the Louisville Republican votes, so it can be plainly seen that Kvans and Wilson are out of it. The Democrats have Senator Joe Black- burn, Congressman James B. McCreary and A. 8. Berry. Blackburn claims that heis not only going to get the nomina- tion, but is going to be elected. He cer- tainly will have the most votes in the caucus, but whether or pot all the sound- money Democrats will go into it is a ques- tion. " Tf they do it is argued the two Populists must come over to him. COMMANDER K DEAD. He Made a Good Record at Ashore. WASHINGTON, D.

SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Jan. 4—An exciting contest took place to-day between the High School athletic team of this place and a picked eleven of State univer- sity, Stanford and Belmont Academy boys, at home for their winter vacation, who joined in a game of football at the Agri- cultural Park grounds. A largs number of spectators witnessed the struggle. The college team consisted of Messrs. Davenport, Moore, Bell, Eaton, Broome, Ealand, Orella, Cooper, Kittredge, Dibblee and Ransom, with McDuffy and Stow as substitutes, while the city feam was com- | posed of Moyer, Broughton, Lopez, Friel, | Kiler, Butler, Bodie, Penry, Henderson, Starr and Lemmon, with Colt and Wright as substitutes. Although the home team had been coached for some time by Joseph | Pierce, formerly the famous center rush of Berkeley, who umpired the game, it was | evident from the first that the superior | years and long training of the college boys | gave them the advantage. Besides, the | college boys had a mascot—an evil-looking | bulldog by the name of Bowson. The game was hotly contested. Moyer, Lopez and Kiler of the city boys signalized | themselves by their excellent playing. Had this quartet been better supported victory for the home team would have been certain.

CHICAGO, TrL., Jan. 4.—In the columns of an afternoon paper C. F. Van Winkle of the grain commission firm of C. F. Van Winkle & Co.,who was indicted a few days ago on the charge of keeping a bucket- shop, makes the charge that he has been approached by members of the Grand Jury now sitting, who indicted bim, and $250 demanded from him as tbe price for the jury not indicting him.

A STRONG MAN who is vi orous in muscular power is the envy of his fellow-man. He is looked upon as one of nature’s noblemen. And yet how many men there are who would gladly sacrifice that muscular strength for the recovery of a still more precious element that has been lost. Men are not always what they seem. Almost daily we come in conversation with men who seem strong, vigorous, but who have begun to failin the force of manhood, and who would, in a few years, on account of this treacherous,secret waste, fail vic- * tims to that most hateful disease —Nervous Debility. This is the enemy which in time destroys even the muscular power and all power of mankind Would you protect yourself against any possibility of this calamity ? Ignorance of the symptoms is no excuse for permit- ting the weakness to grow on you. If you would study this sub- ject for your own good send for the little book, “Three Classes of Men,” which will be mailed free, closely sealed. Itis plain and honest, and its contents are instructive. “Your Belt has proven a wonderful remedy for toning up the vital organs in my case.” writes V. D. Alien, Vallecito, Cal- “T was prostrated with paralysis when I got your Belt. Iam already able to walk without crutches.” J. M. Hamer, Vinson, Or. 3, “I tesl like a new man since wearing the belt and zen give it & strong recommendation. Herbert F. Bishop, Hanford, Cal.

I would not sell it Jor twice what I gave for it. 1have gained ten pounds in flesh.”—J. F. Luman, Quincy, Cal. Think of the happiness, the edeep, heart-whole content that settles upon your mind when you say to yourself, “I am strong and manly ; I have pre- served the gift of manhood that nature gave me.” Yes, you who can say that, and say it honestly, think of how much you owe to nature, the giver of manhood. Yet not many can say it. There are too many pit- falls, too many temptations in the path of young men, and too many of them fall. It is to correct the error of youthful folly, and to point out the happy recovery of manly vigor by his wonderful Electric Belt, that Dr. Sanden has given to the world his famous book, “Three Classes of Men.” " He will send a pocket edition, free, sealed, to any sufferer, or to any man who does not feel himself a man.
