S N CEDROS [SLAND MYSTERY. | Rockets Sent Skyward to Attract the Attention of a Passing Vessel's Crew. SAN DIEGO, Car., April 24 — Last Wednesday when the schooner Anita, bound from Celamilli to San Diego, was passing along the east shore of Cedros land, 250 miles south of here, the crew and passengers were startled by the light irom a series of rockets, which were evi-| dently sent up as signals from the island | to attract the attention of passing vessels. For some unknowrn reason the sciiooner passed on without putting in to ascertain the cause of the signaling, but upon its arrival bhere the news leaked out. From the description given it wasl | whale. State University is still here and is carry- ing on active investigations.

Division Commander Plerce Will Labor to Advance the Order. SALINAS, CAL,, April 24.—The veterans of the Grand Army and the members of the patrictic auxiliary societies left the city for their respective homes to-day, bearing with them the most agreeable memories of the encampment of 1897. The Sons of Veterans, California divi- slon, held a successful encampment and elected the following officers for the en- suing year: Division commander, Charles L.

Abbott, Santa Cruz. National delegates— A. L. Johnson, Oakland; George S. Walker, Los Gatos. The newly elected officers were duly installed by Past Divie sion Commander O, C. Houck. Commander Pierce has appointed as adjutant of the division Captain Handley of Fair Oaks Camp No. 15, San Francisco. The newly appointed division quarter- waster is Frank Dunn of the same camp. From this time until the department encampment meets at Nevada City in 1898 extraordinary activity will bo dis- played in recruiting for the Sons of Ve erans. A camp will be organized in every town of California thet can present the required number of applicants for a char- ter.

Compavicon of Notes Nhows Thrip Invasion Is Not Seriowus. FRESNO, CAL., Aprii 24.—The Farmers’ Club neld another meeting to-day and discussed the tbreatened injury to the grape crop from the thrips, which are also known as vinehoppers, It developed that the harm done by the thrips is not as ex- It ap- pears that to them was laid the blame for That the mornings ago. Mildew has been another factor to add to the damage, all of which the thrips received the blame for. The farmers are using a number of devices and are making a good headway in exterminat- ing them.

LTINS Prospectiva Highway Commissioners. SACRAMENTO, Car., April 24.—It has been rumored to-day that the future Bu- reau of Highway Commissioners will con- sist of J. R. Price, engzineer of the Board of Punlic Works; R. A. Thompson, editor of the Banta Rosa Democrat, and Marsden Manson, st present a member of the board. It has been ciaimed that these men have already r@eived their eppoint- ments, but this is denied by the Gover- nor’s office force. o A Nanta Barbara County Susd. SANTA BARBARA, Car, April 24.— William C. Gammull, Justice of the Peace, to-day brought suit against this county for $18: It is a test case to decide whether or not the county is- liable for Justice fees in excess of those allowed and paid under tke fee bill of 1895, since de- clared unconstitutional, The case will be appealed to the Superior Court and prob- ably to the Supreme Court, no matter what the de ©isiol posd B T Oliver Cromwell had the largest bramn on record. It weighed a little over sixty cunces, bul was found to be diseased, Grand Army of the Republic is rapidly diminishing in membership. The per- centage of deaths is largely increasing, due to the advuncing a e of the old | soldiers. It is admitted and officially recocnized that the Sons of Veterans must perform the duties and bear the re-ponsi- bilities now devolyving upon the G. A R. as an organization. Each year diminishes the total number of the Grand Army posts and reduces the membership of those existing. Post consolidations must necessarily follow for a time and <ulti- mately a complete surrender to the sons. The proceecings of the division encamp- ment here and the addresses made to the senior_organizaticn in department coun- cii plainly indicate that the young men of Culifornia whose ancestors assisted in the preservation of the Union have the ability | and patriotism to take up the work where their fathers lay it down. The Sons ¢f Veterans will surely be- come a powerful organization in Califor- nia. As the State grows in population by immigration new material will be pro- vided for re-enforcement. The grandsons as weil as the sons will be eligible until a great organization, capable of wielding a powerful influence for the good of the country, will be created. In 1898 the velerans and the Sons of Veterans will camp at Nevada City; in 1899 they may assemble in San Diego; in 1900 ail may assemble in San Fran: cisco. The closing year of the century may be accepted as a proper time for a reunion of ail the surviving veterans on the Pacific Coast. By that tims the Sons of Veterans will be ableto present a su- perb marching column, and bring to pub- Iic notice companies properly drilled and appropriately uniformed for escort duty ana ceremonial paceants. EXPERTS 1E T1 AT FRESNO, Close of the FProsecution’s Case in the Trial of Sanders. FRESNO, CAL, April 24.—The prose- cution rested its ¢ase to-day in the forgery trial of Professor W. A. Sanders.

A. Von Echmidt of San Francisco, went on the stand again this morning and explaiped his error. | He said that he had taken a hasty glance before passing his ovinior on it. Upon closer examination to-day, the expert said, he could easily see that the writing was not that of Sanders. john Reichman and W. H. McKenzie, two local experis, then positively pro- nounced the disputed signatures to be torgeries. This concluded the case for the people and the court adjourned until Monday merning when the defense will ! begin the introduction of testimony.

OGDEN, Utan, April 24.--Just as the Union Pacilic flier was about to start for the East to-night John Ross shot and killed Glenna Carter and turning the re- volver on himself blew out- his brains, The tragedy was enacted at the depot. Both were from Salt Lake and the girl was the daughter of respectable parents in that city. Ross was originally from Hamilton, Ohio, The trouble arose from Ross’ jealousy over the attentions paid by anotner man to the girl and with whom she had left Salt Lake. On Thursday, beiore leaving Salt Lake on a hunt for Mies Carter, who was known here as Mamie Evans, Ross wrote a letter addresséd to the public ask- ing paraon for the act he was about to commit. — WOES OF S4CEAMENTIO CYCLERS, Thirty Avrrests Made for Violations of an Ordinance.

Frank Valdez Claims He Was Hired to Kill Merchant Lorden. Alleges That He Was to Receive $100 for Taking a Life. LOS ANGELES, CAv, April 24.—Frank Valdez, the young sheep-herder arrested | for the murder of Michael Lorden, the merchant of Calabasas who was assassi- nated in his store last Wednesday night, made a sensatio) Richardson as an accessory in the crime, Constable Branscombe of Calabasas ar- rested young Valdez, brought him to this city tbis forenoon and took him to the District Attorney’s office, where, in the presence of District Attorney Darnell, As- sistant Attorney Williams, Branscombe and a stenographer, Valdez related the de. tails of the crime and made his sensa- tional charges against Justice of the Peace Richardson. The murderer is only a boy, 17 vears of age. “I was offered $100 by Justice of the Peace Richardson to murder Lorden,” said he, “and while I might have killed himin time, this was not the reason I killed Lorden then. e cursed and abused me and I didn’t like it, and when he came toward me with the ax handle I had to protect myself. It was five days ago that afier talking a little while he asked me it I would like to make $100. I said that I would, and then he told me that he would give me $100 if I would go and murder Lorden, as he wanted to get his Govern- ment claim. I did not say then whether I would take the job or not, and he told me to stop back in the evening when I went past, and I did, and Isaid then that I would take the job. *‘The reason I did not go right to Lor- den’s place and kill him was pecause 1 wanted to think the matter over. When I went to the store Wednesday evening I wouldn’t bave killed him if he hadn’t abused me and threatened to kill me. ‘I would bave killed hiwm, though, at some time. No, Richardson never gave me any money and he never said when I was to eet the money if I killed Lorden.” Valdez had confessed the crime to Con- stable Rranscombe before he was brought 10 Los Angeles and this officer believes that the Justice learned of the sensational char. és made by the prisoner, for he says Riohardson sent friend away after weapon and the latter handed a revolver jail. Branscombe leveled his revolver and | commanded them to halt, | “If you come another mch I will kill you,” he yeiled to Richardson, ana when | Constable Nash calied out that he was | with the Justice, Branscombe repeated | his injunction and added that he would ki1l the constable as soon as he would the | Justice of the Peace. | “We have come after that prisoner, and | we are going to take him before the local | Justice for examination,” called Rickard- | son, but to this Branscombe replied that | he did not propose to have anything to do with him, and he would hold Valdez. | Justice Richardson, so Branscombe as- | serts, ordered him to bring Valdez before him for examination, but to this he con- tinued ondurate and, though hLe was cited | to uppear belore the Justice next Tuesday | for contempt of cour:, he stood by his | guns and the others retired, seeing that | he could not be made to surrender. CONSOLIDATING TWQ DAILIES. | | | “ Morning Hera/d” and * Evening Ex- press” to Be Issued From the Same Office. LOS ANGELES, Cav, April 24.—The | Evening Express to-day discharged all of | its printers. On Monday it will be set up on the Herald Linotype machines, will be printed on the Herald presses and issued from the Herald office. Without an abso- lute statement to that effect being made, itis believea that this means a practical | ccnsolidation of the two dailies, the Ex- vress to be an evening edition of the Herald. This move has been anticipated for some time, and because of the conditions that thus admit of the coalition of a Democra morning and Republican evening paper, the near future is ex- pected to witness the establishment of an out-and-out Democratic daily that will | whoop it up for Bryan, free silver and such things without restraint. It is known that some of the largest and | most influential stockbolders of the Demo- cratic Herald are also large and influen- tial holders of the stock of the Republican | | | an ordinance against them is to be at once introduced in the Council. Found Dead Sear Herndon. FRESNO, Car.. April 24.—The body of Herman Nixdorif, a German laborer, was found hanging to a tree just below the railroad bridge across the San Joaquin River at Herndon this morning. The deceased was 35 years of aze and had been a recent inmate of the county hos- pital. It was undoubtedly a case of sui- cide. Nixdorff had neatly attired himself and had taken a bath in the river and shaved himself. fao s Mrs. Hoover Acquitted at Colusa. COLUSA, CaL., April 24.—The case of Mra. Phebe Hoover, charged with killing her husband at Arbuckle on the 11th of March, came to a close to-day, and the jury, afier beinz out only ten minutes, re- turned a veraict of nct guilty. The de- fendant did not deny the killing, but claimed it was in self-defense, and proved that her husband had threatened her Lifs on many occasions.
