RAYMOND, Cir, June 19.—Of the | three men who were yesterday arrested on | suspicion of havinz robbed the Yosemite | stage it is doubtful if either is the crimi- | nal.

Littlefield claims that he had a prear- | ged plan with Miss Neva that on the rht before the robbery she was to start | for Coulterville, under the pretext of vis- iting ber sister-in-law at that place; that he, in company with Robinson, overtook Miss Lock, who was accompanied by Miss Olive W ield, at about 1 o’clock in the morning between Raymond and Mari- posa, the young ladies having started on horseback about the middle of the night in order to avoid the heat of the day, and here Miss Lock refused to elope, stating at her parents had exacted a promise from her to refrain from naving anything to do with him. When Robinson and Littlefield accom- panied the young ladies as far as Mariposa they turned back and arrived at Raymond about two hours after the robbery, where they were arrested. s do not know how much ve this story, until Miss ewed. The young lady, it vill return from Coulterville to-night or in the morning. The day preceding the robbery Littlefield wanted to change hats with the proprietor | of one of the hotels here, and when he was refused he surreptitiously accomplished his object later in the day. He was also try- ing to borrow a pistol, but was refused by every one whom he asked. Miles Wallace, the District Attorney, ar- | Lock is inte is expected, rived here to-day and has been investigat- | he matter. He says that under the facts as stated by Littlefield plenty of time could have been had by the prisoners to go about three miles out of their way, rob the stage | and return to town when they did. A few | days prior to the robbery Littlefield was *“broke” and penniless, and when arrested | he had several dollars, which he claims were given to him by Robinson, who, it is said, lately sold his cattle for several bundred dollars. The preliminary ex- amination was set by Justice Ayer at 1 o'clock to-morrow, but the complaint now on file will probably be dismissed and a | new one will be filed, as the proper ar-3y rangement and procedure have been com- pliea with in the present instance. ASTORIA’S FISH WAR. One Cannery Agrees to Pay Five Cents and Others Will Follow. ASTOR1A, Or., June 19.—The militia are still here, under charge of General | Beebe, but there has been no trouble of | any kind so far and none is expected. The proposition of a Scandinavian fac- tory to-day to pay 5 cents was accepted by the fishermen and to-morrow 125 boats will start out for it. Other canneries are in operation on a small scale with fish re- ceived from up the rive. While there are fair prospects of other cannerymen paying the fishermen the price asked, nothing is definite. The season is now more than half gone. From a business point of view the season has been a financial failure on both sides, to an extent hard at present to estimate. | It is reported to-night that the militia will be recalled because the expense, about $2000 per day, is not warranted, as up to the present time only nominal occ pation bas been found for them. The militia are having a regular picnie, | although the discipline and conduct are excellent. Practically no scab fishermen have accepted the protection offered to go out on the river. A few young men about town without experience made drifts.in the river, which has such a large run of salmon this year that they made good catches. e SPOKANE’S COMPLAINT.

Hardie, a County Jail prisoner, had the life nearly scared out of him to-day by Deputy Sheriff Conran. He and a man named Roblin are serving a six months’ sentence for vagrancy. They are the pair who were arrested last spring for bringing a couple of girls bere from Suisun and placing them in a house of ill fame.

LOS ANGELES, Car, June 19.—The | classic suburban town of Pasadena is con- | siderably wrought up over the suit of Dr. | Denis S. Green, a prominent physician there, against W. I. F. Randolph, his wife, Marie Randolph, and son, T. E. Ran- | dolph, for $20,000 alleged damages for malicious and false prosecution. The action is brought in the Suprerior Court of this county. Dr. Green'was ar- rested at Pasadena in March last on com- plaint of the Ranaolphs. The complaint charged that the doctor amused himself one morning by beating his horse as it stood in a stall in the stable, and that he kept up the lashing for ten minutes. The prosecution alleged that by reason of his cruelty to the horse, he brought himself withir, range of the law with re- gard to'cruelty to animals, Green was tried before Justice Morrison ef this City, and then brought the present suit, including as defendants, Randolph, his wife and son. Dr. Green alleges that he has been a practicing physician in Pasadena for eleven years past and has borne a good reputation in the com- munity; that by reason of the prosecution he has been injured in his business, and the damage he has sustained amounts to $20,000. 1n their answer defendants allege that they believed the charge to be true when the complaint was sworn to and that there was probable cause to justify them in that belief. They deny that there was any- thing malicious in the prosecution. . Quite a number of witnesses from Pasadena are in attendance at the trial. The impanel- g of the juryin the case was going on this afternoon BESPTE AT SHN DIEG Ebanks Should Have Been Hanged Yesterday. Littlefield and Robinson Tell of Their Recent Movements. | Murderer Joe Plays the Insanity Act So Effectually That He May Yet Cheat the Gallows. SAN DIEGO, CaL., June 19. — Joe Ebanks, the double murderer, was to have been hanged to-day. Like most other murderers, his neck is still unstretched, although he has confessed his crime. An appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court, and meantime Ebanks, presumably on the advice of others, is playing the in- sanity dodge, or was until to-day. For four or five days he has acted as crazy as he knew how—barking, howling, throwing dishes and rolling on the floor. | He butted his head against the walls of | his cell, but took care not to hurt himself. He became so troublesome that he was placed in shackles and straitjacket. A day or so ago he refused to eat, but couldn’ keep this up more than two meals, as his gluttonous appetite was not to be controlled by the freaks of his mind. Yesterday his tobacco was taken away from him and this seemed to have brought back Ius sanity quicker than anything else, Ebanks now denies the truth of his con- fession and his attorney says he will make a strenuous effort to save his neck. The murderer is good for some weeks yet pending the appeal. e TACOMA’S HUNGRY FIREMEN, | Will Leave the Department Unless they | Receive Their Pay. TACOMA, WasH., June 19.—A commit- | tee from the Fire Department, one mem- ber from each company, called on Mayor Fawcett to-day and in a respectful manner addressed him in the matter of the men of the department being left without their salaries and without any assurance when they may be paid. The exact condition of the men, who for months have not re- ceived a dollar from the city, was made plain to the Mayor. After the committee had explained their position that some- thing will have to be done, they stated that unless prompt action was taken by the city officials the firemen would be com- pelled “to leave the department in a body. The Police Department will make a sim- ilar appeal to-morrow. e e BARKERSFIELD BUNCOMBE. Result of the Efforts of a Pyrotechnic Grand Jury. BAKERSFIELD, CaL., June 19.—The trial of ex-Deputy County Clerk H. L. Packard on a charge of falsifying the rec- ords of the county came to an end to-day. Packard was promptly acquitted. Pack- ard was indicted by the famous Long Grand Jury of 1894, which made wholesale | indictments of county officials on evidence supplied by Expert Edgar Moore of Los Angeles. It was alleged that he issued a certificate to J. B. Batz, now County Treas- urer, for one scalp, but entered on the books ten scalps, drew the money from the State and vpocketed it. Assistant Attorney-General C. N. Post came down from Sacramento to conduct the case at the request of District Attor- ney Fay. Great care was exercised in ob- taining a jury, which was composed of men of standing. The evidence showed that the entry complained of was not made by defendant, but by snother man. The defense put Batz on” the stand and he swore that he brought one scalp per- sonally, but sent down nine more in the same quarter from his home in the moun- tains sixty miles away, by his half-brother and received payment for same. The messenger who brought the scalps is now | in Arkansas, but his deposition had been | taken and was to the same effect. | The defense had the canceled check by | which payment was made to Batz, but it was not necessary to produce it in evi- dence. This left the case withont any- thing to support it and the jury promptly found Packard not guilty. This adds another to the list of indict- ments found by the Grand Jury, in which charges have been entirely disproved and verdicts of acquittal rendered. Every case 8o far tried has had the same outcome. BRITISH PROTECTIUNISTS, Opposition to the Proposed Free Trade Celebration. LONDON, ENcrLAxD, June 19.—As some- thing of an offset to the tremendous re- vival of protectionisra in the United States and Krance, as evidenced in the popular support accorded to the cham- pions of that cause 1n those countries, viz.: William McKinley and Premier Meline, a grand iree trade celebration is being planned to take place before the expiration of the present year, which marks the semi-centennial of the abolition of the corn laws in this country. There is, however, a considerable protec- tionist element in Great Britain, which points with satisfaction to the refutation of Cobden’s prediction that England’s ex- ample would be followed by the principal nations of the earth, in view of the fact that not only the countries specified, but also the English colonies without excep- tion, Germany, Italy and Russia, are still strong in their adherence to protection. Many even of the firmest advocates of free trade discountenance the idea of cele- brating the anniversary, claiming that any agitation of the subject can but serve to afford opportunity to their opponents for Hardie dropped, and it was thought he | initiating a policy of retaliation, FATE OF THE VISALIA BANDIT, Si Lovren to Be Imprisoned the Balance of His Life.

It was not many minutes before an in- terested crowd assembled in Department 1 of the Superior Court, where the long trial has been in progress. Lovren was brought in by Sheriff Merritt. He ap- peared, as usual, in his shirt sleeves, and wore no handkerchief around his neck, his once-gashed throat having completely healed and only a scar remaining. After the jury was polled they rendered thg fol- lowing verdict: ? We, the jury, find the defendant, Josiah Lovren, guilty as charged in the information, and recommend and direct that he be im- prisoned in the State prison of California for life. M. H. LOVELACE, Foreman. Lovren’s lips murmuring, ‘“Thank Goa!” was the only visible sign that the con- victed train-robber showed. After the jury was discharged ana as they passed ix spectators pressed around them to shake their hands and congratulate them upon their verdict. Tuus was ended one of the longest and most interesting criminal trials ever held in Tulare County. The trial was begun on June 1 and 144 jurors were summoned before the panel wad completed. Thirty- six witnesses were put on the stana by the prosecution and twenty-six by the de- fense. There were six rebuttal witnesses, Six attorneys were engaged in the legal battle. Monday, June 23, at 10 o’clock, was the time set for pronouncing sentence. This morning business was almost sus- pended, so eager were the people to talk with and congratulate the jurymen on their verdict. Maurice E. Power, who made the closing argument yesterday. came in for his share of congratulations, | not only from Visalians but from citizens in all varts of Tulare County.

Wells Causes Legal Disputes. MURDERED BY DUNHAM A Question Now Arises as to His Interest in the Will of Mrs. McGlincy. FINE LAW POINTS INVOLVED. M. T. Brewer Opposes the Public Ad- ministrator’s Application for Letters. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 19.—The appli- cation of Public Administrator J. K. Sec- ord for letters of administration upon the estate of James K. Wells, son of Mrs. R. P. McGlincy and one of Dunham's vic- tims, came up for hearing in Judee Rey- nolds’ court this morning. The application of Secord is contested | by M. T. Brewer, the recently appointed guardian of Dunham’s baby, who has also applied for letters on Wells’ estate. A peculiar question has arisen in the case. the entire estate to James K. Wells, and the question is as to whizh of the twodied first. If Mrs. McGlincy died first then James K. Welis inherited the property valued at $35,000, and Percy Osborne Brewer, as Dunham’s child is now knowa, is direct heir to the estate. If Mrs. Mc- Glincy survived Wells and Mrs. Dunham, her daughter, then her relatives are also heirs to the property. Mr. Brewer, who is the baby’s guardian, makes the contention that Mrs. McGliney died first, and by reason of his relation- ship he should have control of the child’s estate. Some little testimony as to Mrs. McGliney’s prior death was offered and not contradicted. If Wells died first he would have no estate upon which to ad- minister. Judge Reynolds, after hearing argument in the matter, took the case under advise- ment. e g s FRANKLIN DIVORCE CASE. Testimony Taken in the Suit by Com- missioner Montgomery.

One of the Most Atrocious Crimes in California’s History—A Neat Job at Fo'som. FOLSOM, CaL., June 19.—Paulo Kau- manu was hanged at the State prison this morning. Kaumanu was the Kanaka who murdered an old woman at Latrobe, El Dorado County, kicking her to death and robbing her house. The Hawaiian murderer passed the night quietly, giving no indication that his impending fate disturbed his sleep. He was served with a good breakfast in his cell and ate fried chicken and other food. He was then visited by Father Hunt of El Dorado County and confessed to him. He then announced himself ready for execution. At twenty minutes past 10 he was con- ducted from his cell to the trap. He was calm and seemingly indifferent. The cap, noose and straps were adjusted within thirty seconds and the trap was sprung. He said nothing on the trap, and hardly moved a muscle after being dropped. About thirty spectators were present, among whom were Sheriff Hilbert of El Dorado and several friends of the mur- dered woman. Several weeks ago Governor Budd was appealed to by representatives of the Hawaiian Government to exercise clem- ency 1n the case of the condemned man, but after an investigation into the facts of the case, he failed to discover any mitigat- ing circumstances and refused to interfere, The crime for which Paulo Kaumanu died wasof peculiar atrocity. Mrs, Ellen Robinson, the woman whom he brutally murdered two years ago, was old and feeble and wholly unable to make any effective resistance. He felled her to the ground and then kicked her until she was in a dying condition, after which he plun- dered the house and made hisescape. He has never shown any remorse for his deed, his whole behavior since conviction being marked by a stolid indifference, which he maintained to the last. —— COALINGA’S GUSHER.

I felt out of sorts. Took a little gin. Didn’t help me. Called in a doctor. He looked at my tongue, felt my pulse, gave a piece of paper and was off. Things went on from bad to worse. I began to lose my memory. I could no longer concentrite my mind. I was lost. T used to get up at night and trembled all over. Couldn’t sleep—couldn’t. «I discovered I had been on the go too long. “i‘our weeks ago, reading your paper one day, I read about a medicine called Hudyan. ‘What was Hudyan? said L Well, don’t you know, I determined at last to try it. Ididso. Now, 1tell you what is the matter; no chaffing. his same Hudyan is one of the most powerful vegetable vitalizers made. It fixed me up in no time. Look at me. Do I look like a wreck? Why, I am as good as I was when 21 years old. After 1 took Hudyan two weeks I had no pain in the back—felt bet- ter and stronger than I had for many a day. It fixed me up spin and span, S am like a new man. Yes, I will treat the new man.”’ : So endec one of the pleasantest inter- views had for many a day. After leaving our English friend I determined to find out what this Hudyan is. Hudyan! It haunted me like a specter. Did I need Hudyan? Should I get Hudyan? What is Hudyan? Who takes Hudyan? For what is Hudyan used? 71hese and a hun- dred other questions occurred to me. Oh, now I know what is Hudyan, It is a specific remedy for nervous, exhausting debility, nervous loss of vitality, etc. It cures Failing Manhood; renews, gives life to all parts of the body. Hudyan is the great remedio-treatment that has been indorsed by scientific men. No one_ else can administer Hudyan but the old Hudsonian doctors. If you are in- terested you can call or write to them for MONIALS.
