F. Underwood was chosen. as chair- man and Robert Miller secretary. After some speech-making, principally by the atiorneys for the anti-irrigators, resolu- tions were presented asking the coming Legislature to allow the Turlock and Modesto districts to surrender all com- pieted works cwned by the districts to a corporation, company or individuals upon the return to the peopie of all boads soid by the districts. This virtnally means a surrender of what has been accomplished since the formation of the distr.cts in 1887.

Was Wanted in Illinois for Purloin- ing Money Belonging to His Employers. STOCKTON, CaAL.,, Dec. 19.—James R. Shepherd of Quincy, Ill., who was wanted by the Sheriff of Adams County, of that State, on a charge of embezzling $800 be- longing to his employers, lies dead ata farmhouse near Lodi, and Sheriff Cun- ningham is the maddest man in San Joaquin County‘at what he declares to have been the bungling work of the Loai Constable, and the Ilinois Sheriff, by which Shepherd was given the opportun- partments and 10 the engineerinz clung.

Sheriff Cunningham on Thursday re- arrest Shepher |, who:was supposed to be with his brother near Lodi. As the pro- visions of section 1549 of the Penal Code are vory explicit and recite that the na- ture of the crime, whereit was commit- ted and a description of the man must be given, Sheriff Cunningham, on the ad- vice of District Attorney Nutter, tele- graphed for the required information. This was received this forenoon and the proper warrant issued. Deputy Sheriffs Black and Wall were entrusted with the task of arresting Shepherd. On their way to Lod: they met Constable Coleman of that place and Justice of the Peace Wal- lace, who informea them that Shepherd had driven them away at the point of a pistol and then committed Snicide. It seems that the Illinois Steriff had notified Coleman by telegraph to arrest Shepherd, and the Constable, disregard- fng the formalities of law, had started to do as requested. Hefound the man wanted for embezzlement working in the fields of his brother, Alexander Shepherd, six miles from Lodi. When told that he was wanted, Shepherd denied that he was the embezzier, but offered to go wish the offi- cers. He said tbat he desired to puton another suit of clothes before going to Lodi, and Coleman, knowing that Alex- ander Shepherd bore an excellent repu- tation, permitied the brother to go into the house to change his clothes and shave himself. Sbepherd returned presently with a 38-caliber pistol and Jeveling it at the Constable and Justice of the Peace, he compelled them to get into the bugey and drive away. He tnen returned into the hou-e and took a dose of strycunine, which he evidently carried with him in anticipation of beinf arrested. When the Deputy Sheriffs arrived on’ the scene abnut 3 o'clock Shepherd’s body was still warm, but life was extinct. The body was brought to the Stockton Morgue to-night. ceived a telegram from Sheriff A. H. Roth of Adams County asking him to sl B Capturrd at Berenda. STOCKTON, CAL., Dec. 19.—Sheriff Cun- ningham to-day arrested J. and H. W. Harrington at Berenda. They are wanted in Stockton on a charge of havine stolen a hotse and buggy belonging to Reynolds & Turner, liverymen. COAL NEAR SAN JOSE. Excellent Quality Resembling Anthracite Found Seven Miles From the City. BAN JOBE, Car., Dec. 19.—While exca- vating for a tunnel on the extension of the railway in Alum Rock Park, seven miles east of the city, several veins of mood quality of. coal were discovered. The veins are from one to two inches in thickness, and it is believed that a large devosit of coal lies beneath the veins that were uncovered. Several specimens have been secured snd te<ted. They are very brittle and hard, resemble anthracite and | burn excellently, The . indications are such as to justify the belief that a large coal hed exists, and in all probability bor- ings will be made. i P AIT‘CkED BY HIS CRAZY SON.

Walker, a graduate from the City and County Hospital of San Francisco—they hastened to'the beasile of the apparently dying boy, who was being rapidly choked to death by a false membrane in the larynx. The boy was suffering untold misery and writhing in agony. There was no time to be lost, and as soon as the patient had been placed in proper position the operation of tracheotomy was com- ménced. This operation consisted of cut- ting into the larynx and inserting a tube to relieve the suffocation. An incision about ‘two inches lonz was made in the skin, the knife then cutting through three rings of the trachea. As soon as the opening was made the violent exertions of the boy 1n breathing forced pieces of the membrane out of the aper- ture. The boy began torevive and breathe more freely. Then a tube was inserted through the opening in the throat. There are now strong hopes that the life of the boy has been saved, as indications poigt to the fact that the false membrane has’been entirely thrown off.
