THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1896. . MARINES MARCH AT SAN DIEGD, Hundreds. Pass in Review Before Rear-Admiral Beardslee. SKILLED IN EVOLUTION. Intricate Maneuvers Gracefully Executed by the Brawny 3 Sons of the Sea. STATE GUARDS IN THE LINE. The Naval Commander Pleased With the Splendid Showing—A Dance at Night. SAN DIEGO, Car., Feb. 8.—~The men who would defend California on land and sea in case of war marched in review before Rear-Admiral Beardslee here to- day. An imposing and martial array it was that threaded the streets of San Diego, | the trimily garbed blue jackets and the manly guards of California vieing with each other in grace of movement and cor- rectness of evolution. Nearly a thousand marines were in line, the flagship Phila- delphia, the monitor Monterey and the Albatross furnishing their full quota. Admiral Beardslee had cause to feel proud of the showing they made, for careful dis- cipline ‘was evidenced by the easy and graceful manner in which they executed intricate maneuvers. Altogether the naval parade was a great success and it was an event that San Diegans will long remem- ber. The earliest information relating to the excursion this morning, was to the effect that a party of 800 excursionists had left Los Angeles and Pasadena in a train made up of two sections. This was very pleas- ing news, inasmuch as it was hardly ex- pected that many visitors would attend. The first section arrived at 1:15 o’clock. The second section, containing large num- bers from Riverside, Redlands and San Bernardino, arriving soon after. A large crowd was at the station to meet the visitors and e: them uptown. After their arrival, the crowds of visitors had time to secure luncheon, when the | entertainment be by the assembling of the marines, sailors and military at 2 o’clock on D street in front of the court- house. The parade moved promptly at o'clock, under command of Colonel A. Gassen, w: E. E. Spileman and George H. Bower, adjustants,and E. A. Lavin, orderly, acting as staff. The parade was strictly military, except for the mounted police and a few civilians in line. The first division was led by the mili- tary band of the United States flagship Philadelphia of thirty pieces, all costumed in brilliant new uniforms. Then came the Army and Navy Battalion, Lieuten- ant-Commander Ingersoll, Staff Surgeon F. A. Hessler, Adjutant W. H. Campbell, Ordnance Officer H. A. Eilers and Chief of Pioneers Barth. Following these came Company H of the First Infantry, United States army, Lieutenant R. H. Noble; Philadelphia marines, Leutenant McLe- more; four companies of seamen from the Philadelphia. commanded by Lieutenants Holcomb, Field, Shoemaker and Lanning; United States battleship Monterey bat- talion, Lieutenant W. R. A. Rooney com- manding, Ensign C. C. Fewell adjutant; two companies of seamen, Lieutenants Lieper and George commanding; ammu- nition passers, hospital corps, artillery battery, Gunner Charles B. Babsen com- manding. The second division was headed by the City Guard band of twenty-four pieces. Then came Company B of the Seventh, Captain R. V. Dodge; Third Division Naval Battalion, Lieutenant T. M. Shaw, and about twenty carriages containing Cap- tain Coffin of the Philadelphia, Captain Drake of the Albatross, Lieutenant-Com- mander Wadham of the Monterey, Gen- eral C. F. A. Last of the Second Brigade, National Guard of California, with their respective staffs, and a number of other officers. The parade was reviewed by Admiral Beardslee, General Last and others, from a position on the plaza, after which the military and marines were disbanded,with the exception of the Philadelphia bat- talion, which, under the command of Lieutenant-Commander Ingersoll, exe- cated its famous “silent drill” to music, being accompanied by the military band of the Philadelphia. The drill was watched with interest by an immense crowd, which attested its appreciation by frequent ap- plause. The ball to-night at the Hotel del Coro- nado was the most brilliant affair in the history of San Diego. The ballroom, the largest in Southern California, was deco- rated with flags from the warships, and the rooms were filled with beautiful women and handsomely uniformed offi- cers. The marine band of the Phila- delphia and the Kammermeyer's Hotel orchestra furnished the music. Fully 2000 persons were present, and the ball at its height was a kaleidoscope of vivid color. The Chamber of Commerce has prepared a programme for the entertainment of ex- cursionists who will remain in the city, it/ congsisting of side excursions, balls, sailing parties, etc. SCHLATTER IN SAN BERNARDINO. Officers Believe They Have the' Denver Healer in Jail. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Feb. 8.— The jail officials of this city are positive that they have the world-renowned healer Schlatter in the County Jail and ssa member of the chain gang breaking rock for the county. He was brought in from Redlands last evening as a vagrant, and judging from the various descriptions and published likenesses of the Denver healer the prisoner is that personage. While atwork on the chain gang the stranger keeps apart from the other pris- oners, and when in jail he seeks his cell and will have nothing to say to his fellow vagrants. This afternoon, on being ques- tioned by the deputy in charge of thechain gang, he said: ‘1 am here aoing penance.” During another conversation he said that the mule which he had ridden had died crossing the Yuma desert. He is very de- vout, seemingly very ignorant and simple in his actions. In fact, in every respect he resembles the lowly cobbler who two months ago was besizged by thousands of inyalids and cripples. Itis knownthat & year ago Scblatter wasa tramp and at that time visited Colton, and it is believed that he again took to the road. s FARMERS PLANTING BEETS. Experimeuts Being Made at San Leandro and Rutherford. RUTHERFORD, CaL., Feb. 8.—Some of the representative men of this vicinity held a meeting this afternoon for the pur- Pose of discussing the beet sugar industry. It is believed that the soil here is suitable for beet culture, and it was decided to get twenty or twenty-five farmers to plant a small piece of ground each this year for a sample, and 1f it can bedemonstrated that the beets can be raised here satisface torily, to try to induce Mr. Spreckels to establish a factory here. SAN LEANDRO, Car., Feb. 8.—One hundred ranchers in _the vicinity of San Leandro are planting beets from seed fur- nished by Claus Spreckels this year to prove the quality of the beets for making sugar. In case the quality is proved, one of the largest beet sugar plants in this country will be erected at West San Le- andro, where rail and sail transportation will make this the best location in Cali- fornia. St g Thomas Sexton for Leader. DUBLIN, IreLanD, Feb. 8.—At a meet- ing of the Nationalist members of the House of Commons, held here to-day, it was decided unanimously to request Thomas Sexton to accept the leadership of the Irish Parliamentary party. A The Flying Squadron. LONDON, Exc., Feb. 8.—Orders have been issued to the new flying squadron, which 18 lying off Spithead, to proceed on Monday for Berehaven, Bantry Bay, south coast of Ireland, and there await further orders. ——— On Charges of Forgery. BERLIN, GervMANY, Feb. 8, —Hermann Friedman, director of the Rhenish-West- phalia Bank, has been arrested on charges of forgery. GRANTS PASS TREASURE, Seven Thousand Dollars in Green- backs Found in a Buried Can, A Friend of the Late Anson Burlin- game Believed to Have Cached the Money. PORTLAND, Og., Feb. 8.—W. 8. Fassett returned to Portland to-day from Grants Pass, and tells a strange story about the unearthing of $7000 in greenbacks, issued the second vear of the rebellion, on the ranch of Jared Overton, about ten miles south of Granis Pass, On Thursday last Overton had cause to visit a corner of his farm never having been under cultivation. In looking about, be saw in a small rift made by the recent rains, the corner of a rusty, square oyster-can. It was sealed and seemed to contain some metallic sub- stance. Overton opened it as a matter of curiosity, and to his utter surprise, he found it filled with brandnew greenbacks, | protected by a covering of oilskin. The currency was almost as crisp as when it came from the printing-press, and was in denominations of from $5 to $100. The metallic substance in the can turned out to be four octagonal $50 slugs minted in San Francisco in 1852. The property upon which this treasure was found has changed hands a score of times since the beginning of the war, at which time it was almost worthless. Mr. Overton, the present owner, lives near San Francisco, and only recently came up to inspect it. He said that the late Anson Burlingame, during the time he was Minister to China, owned the prop- erty. In 1865 a friend of Burlingame, Henry F, Welsh, supposed to be quite wealthy, came out from Washington City for his health and lived on the ranch for almost a year, when he died. He brought with him two negro ser- vants, a married couple, who after his death alleged that Welsh carried with him a large sum of money, which disappeared. It is possible that the greenbacks are the 5 TRUCKEE FETES THE: PYTHIANS, Knights in Uniform Take Possession of the City. PLEASURE ON THE ICE. Tobogganing, Skating and Sleigh- Rides Are Included In the Entertainment. EXCURSION TO DONNER LAKE. Eloquent Lecture by a Survivor of the Party Stormbound Fifty Years Ago. TRUCKEE, Car., Feb. 8,—As the ex- cursion train pulled into Truckee this morning gunpowder salutes, the blowing of locomotive whistles and other sounds of welcome awakened those of the citi- zens who had not yet deserted their couches. Sleighs were in waiting to take the visitors to either Donner Lake or Lake Tahoe, and soon merry crowds were being drawn over the snow, their laughter min- gling with the sound of sleigh bells, At noon a special train was chartered by the Knights of Py:hias to take excursion- ists to the Donner Ice Company’s works, and about 500 people, accompanied by a brass band, took advantage of tnis oppor- tunity to witness the harvesting of the ice and spend an hour or two skating on the pond. The Knights of Pythias were out in uniform, and they made this mountain town resemble a military camp. It was their day, and they made it an enjoyable one. Tobogganing has captured the crowd to- night, and it appears to be a greater at- traction than a circus. The involuntary shouts at their first trip down the slide scares even the immovable Digger Indian. William G. Murphy, a survivor of the famous Donner party, was a center of at- traction to-day, and he was taken to the site of the cabins of the Donner party ina Pullman car. He was photographed un- der a cross marking the spot where his mother was buried. He recosnized the country and the places where the cabins were built, and was overcome with emo- tion. Mr. Murphy’s lecture to-night was a popular attraction. Hundreds of people, anxious.to hear the story of the Donner party from one of the survivors, crowded the hall, and hundreds were unable to gain entrance. The unfortunate ones went to the skating rink or the toboggan to enjoy themselves as best they could. William G. Murphy, the lecturer, is a venerable gentleman of 65 years, a lawyer and an impressive speaker, He is an ex- City Attorney of Marysville, where he re- sides, and considers himself part of the State of California. He commenced his lecture by stating that he intended to de- liver a . sort of mixed . historical remi- niscence in the nature of a memoir. He followed the Donner party from its starting point in Kansas through the great central plains to the point where the fateful storm of the winter of 1846-47 overtook them, and where his mother died from etarvation. The story of terrible suffering, the eating of human remains and other appalling incidents were drawn in wonderful word pictures, and his audi- ence was held spellbound. “During the early summer of 1847,” said ‘Washingtonian’s money, which could not be found after his demise. CURING THE GOVERNOR, The Strange Case of the Nevada Official, Who Is Still Living. The Remedy Consists Largely of Two Pasty Salves, One of Which is Yellow, Like Butter. Governor Jones of Nevada, who has been ill so long at the Palace Hotel with cancer of the stomach, continues to im- prove steadily. His apvetite is good now, he walks around considerable, reads the papers and has increased in weight. It was a month ago yesterday when the three physicians attending him assured his family that his case was hopeless. They said he might live forty-eight hpurs, but that would end his career, for the disease which he had was a malignant cancer. Mrs. Jones then stated that she believed she would try another physician. “Ishall only be gladif you do,” is re- ported to have been the reply, “for know- ing the terrible agony of the death which awaits persons with this disease, I shall be only too glad to get him off my hands.” Tkherefore Mrs. Jones called a physician who had been recommended to her. _““When I called on him,” said this phy- sician, who is a woman, “I found five large lumps in the stomach, some of them as large as two fingers, and 'all covering a space as large as your hand spread out. I didn’t know but what his case was too far gone, but I said I would try it. ‘“He began to improve, though the change was slow for a few days: Heis get- ting along splendidly now, and there is no doubt about his complete recovery.” The physician says it is nothing to cure a malignant cancer, and that she has cured more than thirty persons. Her remedy, as seen yesterday, consisted of a couple of jars of salve, such as would make the ordinary physician shriek witk laugh- ter. One of the jars looked like butter, being of a yellowish color, and the com- pound in the other was as thick and pasty, but of a greenish hue. These queer salves are applied externally by the band, and are expected to kill the poison of the cancer, while a prepared liquid taken in- ternally tones up the system. It is this that is expected to cure Governor Jones. The new physician, however, is not even a medical gradunate. She claims to be a licensed practitioner, however. Governor Jones doesa’t need to go to Nevada now to sign the payroll. The Su- preme Court got to figuring on it, and finally Judge Bigelow came down a day or two ago and informed the Goverror thatit | was=all right; that he needn't hire a pri- the speaker, “I settled on the banks of the Yuba. I was living there when gold was discovered by Marshall. When the Mill- race country was developed a city was laid outon a ranch and called Marysville 1n honor of my youngest sister, who crossed the snow with me—she who cut the shoes off these frozen feet. “There have I realized the dreams of my boyhood, solved that scheme of human happiness that comprehends home, wife and children,.and while I so reverently thank God for all the blessings bestowed upon me and mine, it is natural that mem- ory should carry me along that stream that sends yonder snow into the valley down by my home on its way to the sea,and standing here at its source, in my imag- 1nation, I contemplate the sad ending of those companions so ruthlessly cut down in health. “They all, with me, had hopes, ambi- tions, day dreams, fond anticipations as to what they would accomplish when they reached that fairy land of promise toward which we all were journeying. But there are memoirs of the past, mostly sad, burned into our very natures, that will not down at our biading, though fifty years have passed. And this I realize in all its potency as to-day, after balf a cen- tury, I present myself to scenes and asso- ciates that rush upon me. “As I stood on that ice-bound reservoir that now in sacrilege floods the common grave of the dead—our dead, the relics gone back to the wrecks from which they were taken and their spirits to God who gave them—and listened to the winds as they trembled through green boughs and bending branches of the stately old pines— mournful sentinels they seemed to give in whispered cadences and wordless signs, in echoes and re-echoes, the moans, groans, wails and prayers of the helpless and starving of fiity years ago. “These sighing winds, solemn as a funeral dirge, bring back to this frail memory pictures and scenes that hang in boyhood’s hall, so deserted and drear. ““1 almost fear to tread and call back to life and reality incidents and casualties long since buried in the heart. An'apall- ing stillness is nature’s requiem, but the eulogy of those dead is.unpronounced and unpronounceable, save in hearts like this— hearts that knew and felt and loved and suffered as no mortal tongue can tell.” GAMBLERS ARRESTED. Polico Kept Busy Enforcing the New Anti-Poker Gambling Or- dinance. Last night orders were issued to Police’ Sergeants Davis and Donovan to raid the poker games in the Uafe Royal, on Market and Fourth streets, Conway’s new place at vate car to go there, bul to stay here and continue to get well.

Fyke was killed in a collision between a train on the terminalrailway and a car of the Pasadena and Los Angeles Electric ROYALTY [N THE DANCE, Prince Luigi of Savoy Attends the Italian Free School Ball: SPEAKS ABOUT THE CLIMATE. Large and Brilliant Gathering of Ital- ian Society Peopie and Their Guests. Prince Luigi of Savoy and his fellow- officers were the guests of the Italian col- ony last night, at the ball given in Califor- nia Hall on Bush street, for the beunefit of the free Italian school. . There was only one opinion expressed by those present respecting the entertain- ment—it was a success, a complete and delightful success. © This happy state of things was largely brought about by the vleasant geniality and hospitality of the entertainers of the Italian colony on the one hand and by the exquisite courtesy and friendliness of the distinguished guests on the other. There.were no more simple, unaffected men in the room than the officers. From the Prince downward they entered into the spirit of the affair, and devoted themselves might and main to the entertainment of those to whom they were introdnced. Not only had the local Italian colony turned out in force, there were also con- tingents of guests from neighboring coun- ties, all come to do honor to their Prince. California Hall was charmingly decorated with bunting and pennants, bearing the red, white and green of Italy, interspersed with the white cross of Savoy. The brilliant uniforms added color to the scene. Several gentlemen of the colony, particularly the Consul, Cav. Bruni Gei- maldi, shone with orders and decorations. Some of the ladics wore full evening dress, others were in demi-toilettes, but there was plenty of dress display ana flowers were everywhere. Signori P. Barbieri, Cav. Calegaris, A. Bbarboro, J. F. Fugazi and other members of the school committee met the Prince and his_fellow-officers at Folsom-street wharf. From there thewhole party drove directly to the hotel, where thq arrived in time for the grand march at 9 o’clock. As his Royal Highness entered the hall a burst of cheering from a thousand lusty Itahan throats assured him that he was welcome. The grand march commenced forthwith, the Prince leading the way with Miss Aida Sbarboro. The first dance was the lancers, in which the Prince and Miss Sbarboro took part, the remaining seven couples ' bein: Captain Bertolini with Mrs. A. Barbieri, Chief Engineer G. B. Ricei with Miss A. Paladini, Second Lieu- tenant Presbiterio with Miss A. Crimi, First Lieutenant Aymeri with Miss E. Brizzoiara, Commissary Politi with Miss B. Paladini, Lieutenant Arrivabene with Miss M. Marchetti, and Dr. Giura, surgeon of the Cristoforo Colombo, with Miss Rosa Avignini. Between each dancg Prince Luigi held an informal reception, so to speak, at which members of the colony brought np their friends and introduzed them to “‘Sua Altezza,” each. being welcomed by a friendly shake of the band and afew pleasant remarks from the frank young sailor. He looked very handsome and boyish in his brilliant uniform and his honest gray eyes seemed to light up with genuine pleasure at the friendliness riding. Each strode forward with daunt- less air. Abcut this time they espied Prince Poniatowski and be saw them. Poniatowski had come -in, it appeared, from the grill- room. Such another lot of bowing and rushing for chuirs for one another was pmbnlfiy never seen tefore. Each nobleman bowed low and often, and seemed to feel that it would be the greatest occasion of his lifeif he could only get a chair or two for the others before they did for him. Prince Louis was as active as the other titled gentlemen. The three sat down and began to con- verse in French. Finally Poniatowski said something to one qf the waiters at his etbow. The others did likewise, and pres- ently three glasses were brought forward. One'was a foaming beaker of something with the hue of whisky and soda. This was for the Polish nobleman. The others were two small glasses of liqueuner, and these and the big glass the three notables quaffed, while they continued their con- versation in Frencg. At length Cenii and the Duke arose and made theiy obeisance. It was a deep- rooted, heartfelt obeisance, apparently, and Poniatowski felt it as such, and showed his appreciation of it by retalia- tory bows. Count Ceni and the Duke of Abruzzi, otherwise Prince Luigi, were setting out for the Ingleside races. Their horses were ready, and they vaulted into their saddles, waving other adelux to Poniatowski, who waved a few more back to them, and the etn}nekte of the affair was over. Mayor Sutro has, by the way, at last figared out the difficult problem as to whether he should first call on the Prince or wait for the latter to call on him. After much consulting of authorities on etiquette and asking the advice and aid of those who have had experience with roy- alty, he has come to the conclusion that it is his place to call on Prince Luigi on board the Italian cruiser Cristoforo Colombo and not wait in his office for his Highness to take the initiat s In order that the municipality, judi- ciary and Federal authorities may be well represented he has invited Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Beatty and Collector of the g’ort ‘Wise to accompany him. The party will leave Harrison-street pier at 10 o’clock this morning on a special tug and will be welcomed on board the cruiser with the pomp and ceremony befit- ting the standing of the members. "An in- vitation will be extended to the Prince to visit the various departments of the City and United States Government. MORE ARRESTS 10 COME Warrants Are Out for Witnesses in the Peralta-Reavis Case. How One of the Most Gigantic Swindles of the. Age Was Brought to Light. The arrest of Andres Sandoval on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the mythical Peralta-R eavis claim to lands in California valued at $75,000,000 will be followed by the arrest of some eight or ten other persons on a like charge. ‘Warrants have alréady been swornout in the United States District Court for the arrest of the many witnesses who swore to the legality of the Peralta-Reavis claim and the Marshai’s deputies are now busy serving them. It is expected that all the parties to the fraud wiil be arrested in a few days. Unitea States District Attorney Foote admitted yesterday that warrants had been issued for the accused persons. Fur- ther than this he would not discuss the evinced for him on all sides. Prince Luigi bad not yet conversed with any of the representatives of the American press since his arrival in this City, as he has a horror of publicity, and prefers being regarded as a lieutenant of the Cristoforo Columbo to being looked upon as a prince. ‘When a reporter of THE CALL, however, was presented to him as having resided in Italy, he chatted pleasantly and unaffect- ed'i(y of his native land. he English he spoke was pretty and rhythmic, with a slight foreign lisp, and the distinct “E” of cultured %tnliun!, but his voice was low and what the Italians call '‘una voce sympatica.” “Do you think this climate resembles that of Italy?” was asked. “I prefer San Francisco,” answered Prince Luigi frankly. ‘“You seem to have no extremes of climate here. I }ave a f"" dislike eitber to_ereat heat or cold. n our northern provinces it is frigid at this season, and further south our summers are intensely hot.” All the officers, in speaking of the Prince, were enthusiastic in _his praise. ‘All the three brothers are alike,”” s2id one lieuten- ant, pleasant and unaffected to every one, and he added: “Itis only the truly great who can afford to be so aifable; their posi- tion is assured and they have no fear of los- ing caste by being delightful to high and low alike.” The hall and its approaches were most elegantly decorated, palms and ferns con- trasting effectively with the Italian and American colors. The stage was embow- ered in tropic foliage, amid which a select orchestra of forty pieces was stationed. The music during the evening was excep- tionally fine, the rendering of the ‘“Marcia Reale’” and Italian National Hymn as the Prince entered the hall being particu- larly spirited and effective.

A A The Etiquette of Prince Lulgl, Count Cenl and Prince Ponla- towskl. Prince Luigi, Count Ceni and Prlnce' Railway 1 December, 1894. He was. a passenger in the eiectric car, and the sole support of his father, J. D. Fyke, The father to-day tiled a suit against the elec- tric company asking for damages in the sum of Sg,m. 5 . Poniatowski met and regaled themselves over in the Palace Hotel court yesferaay afternoon. Count Ceni had come out {from the hotel office booted and spurred, with a nding-whip 1n his hand. Prince Luigi appeared in the court about the same moment, and he also was rigged for situation. -Itig not yet known how many men and women in California will be arrested and charged with perjury and conspiracy in connection with this case. Similar cases were tried in New Mexico and Arizona and nearly all the Peralta witnesses were found guilty of perjury and punished quite severely, The perjuries complained of in the present instance are alleged to have been committea in the examination before United States Commissioner Houghton in this City in October, 1890. A dozen wit- nesses testified in favor of the fraudulent claimants to somé 13,000,000 acres of land in this State. Itisexpected that all who figured in that investigation will be ar- rested. The history of the litigation and the at- tending conspiracy is an interesting one. In October, 1892, James Addison Peralta Reavis and Loreto Micarla de Peralta Reavis, his wile, sued in the Court of P: vate Land Claims for confirmation of a grant alleged to have been made by Spein in 1758 to one Miguel Peralta, Baron of Arizona, Knight of the Colorados and grandee of Spain, covering 12,740,000 acres of land in Arizona and New Mexico. This claim included the sites on which the city of Phoenix and. other large places in Ari- zona now stand. TChetitle to the land had been investigated by eminent counsel ahd pronounced genuine. As a result many persons and a few corporations acquired interests in the territory claimed as pur- chasers from the plaintiffs. It was alleged that the original grant had beer recommended by Philip V of Spain in 1744 and by Ferdiuand VI in1748; that it had been actually allowed by the Viceroy of New Spain in 1748 and rati- fied some time later; but the Federal au- thorities made a thorough investigation of the claim and the result was the unearth- ing of a great mass of fraud. Froma search of the archives of Spain and Mexico it was found that the instruments of which the copies were correct and duly authenti- cated were cleverly forged on genuine an- cient parchments, from which other writ- ings had been skillfully erased, and placed among the records attending the adminis- * tration of Government affairs in California and adjacent territory during the period of Spanish dominion. Special counsel from Washington will condict the prosecution of those charged with conspiracy in what is declared .to be one of the greatest frauds of the century. The case teéms with romance and interest. CONVICTED OF FORGERY. Jonathan Tice Implicated in the Love Will Fraud. PORTLAND, O=r., Feb. 8.—The trial of Jonathan Tice for complicity in the Love will forgery was concluded before Judge Stephens to-night. After fifteen minutes’ deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged. This case has been on trial for several days and great interest was taken in the proceedings. Tice, who at one time wasa prosperous merchant here, was the leader in a conspiracy by which it was intetded to swindle the heirs of the late Nancy M, Love out of an estate worth $150,000. A genuine Love will was in process of being probated when the ccnspirators made attempts to sell a bogus document to certain attorneys for the purpose of contesting and, if possible, defeating the original will. Besides Tice there were George G. Smith, who pleaded guilty to having signed the will as a witness; F. R. Muffit, an insurance man, now in the penitentiary for forgery, and an attorney nawmed Edgar, who left this city two years ago after being arrested for forgery. It came out in the trial that Judge Parks of Oregon City, who disappeared from here two years ago and is supposed to ve in the East, was implicated in the trans. action. NEW TO-DAY. Are You Sick?
