Roberts, a Prcminent | Citizen, Missing for a Week. Leaves Bella Vista for Mont gomery While a Sncwstorm Is Raging. Fears That He Perisbed in the Bliz- zard or Was Drcwn'd or Murdered.

Mr. Roberts was formerly assistant Postmaster here and has occupied numernus public offices. He resided with nis family near Bella Vista, about eight miles from this city. Last Friday he left his home for Mont- gomery Creek to organize a lodge of Patriots of America. A severe storm was raging at the time of his departure. He was last seen on the road near Ben Jen- ns’ farm, on North Cow Creek, some ten miles from his home. It bezan snowing heavily that evening, and itis supposed that the traveler became bewildered, and, losing his way, was lost in the snow and perished, or was drowned in one of the swollen streams. The missing man was expected home on Sunday, but he did not return. His family was not particularly alarmed at first, as they thought he might be de- tained from returning by the storm, but | when he failed o re:urn by Monday they began to think that something was wrong. On Tuesday his son Herbert rode up to Montgomery Crek and learned that his father had not reached that place. Her- bert returned home on Wednesday and gave the alarm. Several searching parties were immedi- ately organized to hunt for the missing man, but no trace of him has been found. Mr. Roberts was for many years one of the most p-ominent schoolteachers in this county. He was assistant postmaster in | this city under the late Johr N. Major, and for the past eight years has been en- | gaced in farming on Cow Creek. He was a well-educated man,a great student and a writer of considerable local prominence, being a frequent contributor | to the local press at Redding. A good many entertain the opinion that he has been murdered, but no motive can e attributed for the perpetration of such a crime. L SRR FROM PRISON TO ASYLUM.

The prisoner appeared leaning on the arms of his two brothers, who had been constantly at his side during thre prog- | ress of the trial. He bore a careworn and forlorn appearance, and showed plainly the siege had been a seyere strain on his system. ‘When the jury first came in they stood | eleven to one. How they stood as to con- | | viction or acquittal was not known. At | this the prisoner sank in a dead faint and was removed to the Sheriff’s office, at - tended by his counsel and brothers, until | the jury had further deliberated. In ten | minutes they returned with the verdict of not guilty. Captain Dozier, counsel for the defend- | ant, was entirely overcome, and it was | some moments before he could speak. He | thanked the jury, and they closed the now famous case. This afternoon Peterson was examined | for insanity and committed to the Napa Insane Asylum, to which place he will be taken to-night.

The officers and crew of the Lake Win- niveg, as well as the passengers, of whom there were twelve on board, agree that the ship narrowly escaped found ring, and it was with the utmost difficuity that the great quantities of water which flooded the ship as the seas broke over her and put out her fires were kept within the limits of safety to the vessel. okt it 1 Parliamentary Crisis in Germany.

Cooke of Los Angeles, are but half true Yuma will in a ghort time be a second Virginia City. Three assays show rock that runs not less than $400 = ton, some of it reaching as high as $2500.

Neither of them made any inquiry as to the navure of the charge pre- ferred. There is said to be a strong chain of cir- cumstances connecting the prisoners with the murder of Neibert, but the officers are not willing to make the story public yet. It 18 understood that the men bave pro- fessed some knowledge of the aflair, and have told conflicting stories when ques- tioned about it. Griner is a woodcutter who Las been working on the west side of the river near Canby. Rogershas a small ranch on Canby prairie, where his family lives. He has been convicted of offenses that give him the name of being a hard man.

Neibert was shot through ihe body and died the nextday from the wound. It was a very mysterious affair, anu suspicion has been directed to various versons connected with otber misdeeds but nothing more tangible than suspicion nas developed to connect anybody with the commission of the crime. e THEATRIC4LS AT STANFORD.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, «(arL, March 11.—The farming class -about Stanford University predict an unusualiy larze crop this year. Mr. Reynolds, the efficient manager of the Palo Alto estate, in speakiug of the farming outlook said: “The indications are that the yield of barley and hay will be nearly double the usual crop. Oa the hillsides and gravelly soil the grain has a splendid start. With the warm weather of the coming months the prospects could not be better. Had it not been for the recent cold spell the growth would have been too dense. The grain in the hollows has been drowned out and it necessitated replanting. “If we have much more trost, however, there is no telling how much damage will be done the early frnits. The almonds and apricots will suffer most. There is an aimond orchari among the foothills southwest of here that has already been seriously damaged by the frost. It is too early to form an idea as to the probable yield of grapes. The buds have not set as yet. A frost last year reduced the crop to one-fifth the usual output.”’ fn i Darisville Boy Kills Himself, ‘WOODLAND, Cax., March 11.—Charles 1 Brunson, the 17-year-old son of Reuben cld resigent of Yo!

Men are often wiser than they act. They know how te be happy but some. times they are mis- erable. They know there is no happiness worth the name with- out health ; yet they neglect health. They allow dyspepsia and biliousness and con- stipation to get o a hold on them and make life wretched. Those three complaints usually come to- \ gether. Constipation affects the stomach and liver. That brings on bilious attacks and indigestion, headaches, nausea, dizzi- ness, queer sensations of weakness and pal- pitation. Your nerves are unstrung, your system is sluggish: You lose ambition. he fact is your whole constitution is being slowly undermined. What you need is Dr. Picrce’s Pleasant Pellets. They cure constipation, dyspepsia and bil- fousness in the only sure, permanent way. There is nothing violent or irritating about them, they work mildly though quickly. They tone and strengthen the bowels to carry on_their functions naturally They gently stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and the digestive juices of the stom- ach. You don’t becomie a slave to their use as witk: other piils. They make yon reg- ular and then you can leave them. _That i3 the difference between Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets and the something “just as good," which a sharp druggist tries to substitute. Don’t let him do so with you.
