Dereliction of Certain Servants of the Public Is Bluntly Pointed Out. THE FOUNTAIN GROVE SUICIDE. Unable to Find Any One to Blame for the Tragical Death of Mary Harris. SANTA ROSA, Cav., Feb. 15.—The Bo- noma County Grand Jury’s report to Superior Judge Crawford this morning was not nearly as sensational a document as many expected. It was rather a straightiorward utterance, however, and unpleasant enough for several county offi- cials and employes. Judge Crawford, in dismissing the jurors, remarked that if every inquisitorial body did its duty as thoroughly *‘things would be better.” No true bills were found, the Grand Jury con- tenting itself with reporting a shortage in county funds of over $13,000 and remark- ing that “indictments at the present time will be an injudicious way to proceed for the recovery of the moneys due the county.” One of the amounts is now being sued for in the Superior Court and the other is in the hands of the Supervisors. The jury found that the shortage in ex- Treasurer Stofen’s office, due to the ‘‘real or pretended robbery,” was $5000, and the shortage 1 Recorder Hall's office was $5000. It was recommended that hereafter no liquors be purchased for the county farm and hospital, except for medical purposes, and that hereafter not so much money be spent for tobacco for the county farm. It also recommended that the old soldiers at the farm be sent to the Soldiers' Home. Commenting upon 0. T. Baldwin as an expert the Grand Jury reported that Bald- win did not expert the books at all, but only made up the footings, and that if there had not been collusion on his part s guilty of gross negiect of duty. bort then took up Recorder Hall's e, finding among other things that $ ad been paid for what purported to be for seventeen volumes of copying, and that a careful estimate showed that 15,000 folios had been charged for which had not been copied, amounting to an overcharge of $1200.

SACRAMENTO, CaL., Feb. 15.—During a fight which started in adowntown saloon at 8:30 o’clock this morning, Joseph Welch was shot four times by W. M. Johnson, a gambler, better known as the ‘‘Missouri Kid.” The men had been drinking together, and becoming !ntoxicated, a dis- cussion arose and terminated in a fight. Welch left the saloon in search of a pis- tol, but failing to procure one returned with a rock and started for his adversary. The bartender and a young man named Maloney attempted to interfere, but Welch evaded them and made a rush at Johnson, who immediately opened fire with his re- volver. He fired four shots and each bul- let took effect, One entered under the left arm, another entered back of the left shoulder, the third struck Welch in the center of the breast, but glanced from a rib and passed through Maloney's arm while Maloney was en- deavoring to separate the men. The last bullet found a lodgment in Weleh’s right shoulder. The wounded man walked from the place of the shooting in the saloon to & room in the rear, where he fell. Ha was conveved to the keceiving Hospital and medical attendance was procured, but the physicians have but small hope that he will survive his wounds. Sl SHAKEN BY A TEMBLOR.

He got behind in his accounts, so says General Agent Landers of San Fran- cisco, and was given notice to pay up. About this time Doolittle visited San Francisco, where on a warrant sworn out by Special Agent Du Bois he was ar- rested on a charge of embezzlement for retaining $340 of ‘the company’s money. He was brought here under arrest by Sheriff Scott. Deolittie made good the shortage, and the action against him was dx::nlssed. He then brought the damage suit.

TACOMA, Wasn., Feb. 15. — No more systematic search for a missing person was ever inaugurated in the West than that for Mrs. A. B. Cody, largely through the ef- forts of the Chicago police devartment. Every Chief of Police in the United States has been notified and supplied with de- scriptions of the ing woman. Fifty- four division superintendents of railroads running from Pacific Coast points have each received a personal letter from prom - inent railroad men, friends of the family, with a large number of circulars and pic- tures. The extent of the inquiry is learned when it is stated that telegraphic clews from all parts of the country are almost bourly receiveu, invariably reporting in- vestigations that have ended in nothing. With these hundreds of personsassisting in the search, absolutely nothing has been accomplished, and Mrs. Cody’s relatives are in despair. Fvery clew that has been traced has proved an erroneous one, and Tacomans are almost ready to admit that the unfortunate woman will not be found among the living, e Suicide at San Quentin. S8AN RAFAEL, Car., Feb. 15.—Coroner Eden to-day held an inquest at San Quen- tin prion upon the body of a prisoner named Rodgers.

The case had been on trial for three days. It was the result of a political row in Seattle. Those with an eye to an op-~ portunity, those wanting to make their dollar do the ser- vice of two in other stores, se- lect the big store. They watch the big store’s ads and they know that the big store does what it advertises. It makes no rash promises, but when it makes a promise it performs it to the letter.

SPORT AT SANTA CRUL San Franciscans Are Making Big Catches of Monterey Bay Salmon. Fishermen Bring In Five Hundred Large Fellows—A Whale Towed to Capitola. SANTA CRUZ, Cavn, Feb. 15.—Fish Commissioners W. C. Murdock and H. E. Emeric came down this evening to get a chance at the big fishing. They said the newspaper reports had seemed like exag- gerations to most sportsmen, and for that reason many of them declined to come here. The Santa Cruz people would welcome all the visitors who care to come here, but they do not like to be charged with send- ing out false reports. The correspondents have obtained their information from the fishermen and by inspecting the wharf when the boats come in. The catch to-day numbered between 450 and 500, and many of them were handsome specimens, weigh- i ing from twenty to forty pounds. Dr. W. P.
