Prosecuting Attorney Sylva Denounces Dr. Freemenjas a “Liar, Perjurer and Scoundrel. SATUSALITO, CaL, May 15.—There was | an exciting scene in Recorder Joseph H. | Pryor’s court this afternoon. Prosecut-‘ ing Atlorney Adolph Sylva called Dr. | Richard T. Freeman of Sausalito a “liar, | perjurer and scoundrel” and gave him a | “dressing down” such as no physician | | ever received in Sausalito before. | The case on trial was one in which Dr. | Freeman, whose license to practice medi- | cine was revoked by the State Board of | Medical Examiners some time ago, was | defendant in a suit brought by D. Apple- | ton & Co. for recovery on certain books purchased by the doctor. The doctor on the stand became confused by the cross- examination by Attorney Syivaand stated | | things that Sylva said were not so. After | & number of tilts the Prosecuting Attor- | ney’s time to argue came around, and he | piiched into the doctor in a manner that | | left thatindividual in such a state that he | could make no reply. The lawyer spoke | of Freeman’s “immaculate gall,” and for | | fifteen winutes subjected him to a terrific | | tongue-lashing. ‘The doctor stopped him | in the middle of tbe speech to say taat he | was accusing him falsely; that he had got | | money from him falsely, and had robbed | hin Sylva stopped only long enough to hear this, when he bitterly assailed the doctor again. Recorder Pryor rapped for order, | | and threatened to adjourn court and re- | fuse to hear the case if the contending The Close of an Eleven-Years' War to Be Celebrated on Monday.

Augu the Indians hatched an cious plot whereby they intended to e the whole State of Sonora; but failed at the outset, when sixty Indians attacked the Mexican house at Nogales, Sonora, on August 12 One of the Yaquis who was captured duar- ing the attack confessed that they hsd intended to get $80,000 in gold that was in the Custom-house at that time, and, with the money, they could induce hundreds. of Pap Indians and Mexican de- ers to join their ranks. They then in- tended to march to Magdalena, getting reinforcements along the way. They were to be met at Magdalena by a force they that was waiting near that place, and the | combined forces were to march upon and capture Heimosillo, the capital of the State.

The climate is semi-trop:- cal. The same land in the United States would readily bring $700 an acre. Coffee, hemp, indigo and tobacco can be raised in great abundance. The settlement of the controversy will be worth millions of dollars to the State of Sonora, and now the country wiil be rapidly developed. The Yaqui region is known to abound in rich gold deposits, as the Indians have often traded large nug- gets for arms and ammunition. The Yaqus are an athletic and well- formed race. The Yaqui bas but few wants—a cotton shirt und breechcloth for the men and shawland petticoat for the women suffice, while the children run naked. Unlike the Northern Indians, their temperament is happy and they are fond of music ard drawing. They are brave and have been known to fight for hours against great odds. They aione, of all Indians, are skillful peari-divers. They shun the society of whites and live near them only to get employment.

BUCKEYE MU | Life Imprisonment for the Slayers of i Serafino Geniguani. | REDDING, CaL., May 15.—In the Supe- rior Court to-day Jurdge Sweeny sentenced William Miller, a halfbreed, and Louis Richards, an Indian, to the penitentiary for the term of their natural lives, for the | murder of Serafino Geniguani near Buck- | eye in this county, on the 18th of last March. Geniguani kept a winery and | | sold to the two men several bottles otl | wine. They became crazy with drink ana | to get more broke into the wine cellar. In | the quarrel resulting Geniguani's throat | was cat and his body was dragged into a | fence corner for concealment. Subsequent to their arrest both men made several alleged confessions, contra- dictory and untrustworthy. Last Satur- | day they pleaded guility in open court | and to-day evidence was taken to deter- mine the magnitude of their crime. Judge | Sweeny, in sentencing them to life im- | prisonment, explained that the only facts | in extenuation of their crime were that DERERY FA1E. | | the murder was committed while they were drunk, tnat the liquor that crazed them had been furnished unlawfully by their victim ana that they had shown no previous malice. pl |G SR IKINITY RIVER GOLD. | Women Gather Moss Streaked With Xel- low Flakes. | REDDING, CAL., May 15.—Donald Mec- | Intosb, the Trinity County mine-promo- ter, tells a golden-hued story about the moss-covered rocks that in places line the | banks of the Trinity River. When the good wives and daughters of the miners | living near the stream have needed pin- | money this spring they gathered this moss from the rocks, picked it into smell parti- cles and panned out the sod in a prospec- tor's pan, aiways getting rore or less fine gold, ana sometimes making quite & re- | spectable ¢ ean-up. | "McIntosh explains that the muddy | waters of the Trinity River, which has | been unusually high this season, con- | tained fine goid in large particles, and the sediment, straining through the moss, de- | posited the gold in the moss. He says that as much as $7 in one day has been | obtained in the manner described by three women working together. e BAGDAD FEARS AN ATTACE, | Expected Ouibreak of Piute Indians in { the Vicinity of the Town.

Energetic Lobbying Among the Delegates Now at Los Angeles. Eastern Visitors Will Go on an Ex- cursion to Catalina Island To-Day. LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 15.—The visiting conductors and their companions are beginning to leave the city, though they would prefer to take it along with them, so well have they enjoyed their stay. One section of the Chicazo speciai, consisting of five sleeping-cars, started at 10 o’ciock to-night for San Francisco, en route to Portland and thence eastward by the northern route. None of the working delegates will be with this party, for they have plenty to do in convention here be- and Sheriff Holcomb of this city was sum- | moned by telegraph to the scene yester- | day. The killing of Ahvole will have a tendency to quieten matters in that vicinity. —_— Demand for Linda Vista Bonds. SAN DIEGO, CAL., May 15.—The Linda Vista Irrigation District directors received an offer to-day from William Osborne, representing Eastern contractors, to take $825,000 of the district’s bonds_at par, to ve taken up between now and November 5, 1898, by which time the district hoves 10 have i1s water systemm completed. The offer was taken under advisement for two weeks, fore the final adjournment, which will probably be next Tuesday. The election of officers 1s deferred to the last day of the session. On that day also will be decided where the next convention is to be held. The competition has nar- rowed down to the advocatesof St. Paul and Detroit, both cities offering special inducements for the accepiance of their cordial invitation. Electionering is being actively carried on by the adherents of the parties representing the competing cities, with St. Paul slightly leading in favor. Workers for St. Paul are distrib- Bting protty books of pictures of that city to influence votes in the convention, and the Detroit party is putting out a large number of buttons as reminders, and many of these are in evidence on coat lapels. A drizzling rain and an overcast sky in- terfered with the pleasure of the visitors to-day, but thousands of bright-hued badges of red, green and white were ex- posed to the weather, so many of their wearers being determined to see all there was to be seen while the optporlulllty re- mained. A large number of visitors en- joyed the carriago drives given them by hospitable citizens under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. The dele- gates, who kept in retirement during the afternoon, did their best to enjoy the morning drive in spite of the rain. " About 300 visitors went to Redondo by the nar- row-gauge road to see the ocean. To. morrow everybody is expected to go to Catalina Island if sufficient boats can be obtained. The steamer Hermosa has been put into commission, but as the one boat ‘was scarcely equal to the load that is promised the Bannings undertook to put on another steamer. The wish of the Transportation Com- pany was frustrated by a peculiar situa- tion. It was necessary to engage an extra marine engineer for the purpose, but a diligent searcn of the city and inquiry at the employment offices developed the fact that no marine engineer holding the papers to permit him to serve legally could be found, and there was no time to send elsewhere for a man to take the place. The business meeting to-day was wholly of a routine nature, committee work occu- pying most of the time. The scalpers’ resolution is being warmly discussed and it will not be disposed of without a spirited controversy. The Elks had 8 social high jinks th evening for the conductors, and it a notable one. The Order of the Eastern Star tendered a reception this evening to visiting ladies of the auxiliary at Masonic Temple. On Monday evening the Knights of Pythias lodge will hold a grand recep- tion for the conduciors who are members of that order. A fact worthy of note in connection with the rumors of trouble over the rela- tions between the Order of Railway Con- ductors and the non-union conductors on the Santa Fe is that none of the free ex- cursions given to the visiting conductors have thus far been on the Southern California lines of that system, and that company is not deficient in generosity, either. i The Pennsylvania special train is stitl blockaded at EI Paso by a washout. The chances are that the train will not arrive here until after the convention is over, or it may turn back as soon as the track is clear and not come through. —_——— KILLED 4 MONO COUNTY MAN. Juan Lugo Confesses a Crime of Five Years Ago. LO8 ANGELES, Car., May 15.—Juan Lugo, the Mexican who has been started back to Mono County to be tried for the murder of Tom J. Leahy on June 12, 1892, confessed the crime to the officers here just before he was taken away. He was, he says, discharged by Leahy, who had threatened to take his life. He and a partner went fishing at Grand Lake and Bilver Lake. He says: “I started_home from Silver Lake, and on the way I saw Leahy, accompanied by another man, riding toward me. When they got within 100 or 150 yards I began to think of what Leaby had said about kill- ing me, and I became terribly frightened. I wes so afraid Leaby would kill me that Idrew my pistol and shot him. He fell off his horse, and I turned and ran. I did not know whether I had killed him or not.” . ADDSTO THE FERRY DEPOT FUND. Disposition of the Premium Realised on the Sale of Bonds. SACRAMENTO, Can, May 15. — The question arose in the Controiler’s office not long ago as to whether or not the Board of Harbor Commissioners was en- titled to use the $7125 premium on the San Francisco ferry depot bonds. The people of the State voted for the issuance of §$600,000 bonds for the ferry depot. These sold for a premium of $7125, and the Controller was in doubt as to what disposition to make of the amount, al- though the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners claimed it. In an opinion on the subject, the At- torney-General states that ic is evident that the Legislature intended that the en- tire proceeds from the sale of bonds should be nsed for the construction and furnishing ot the ferry building. Conse- uently he holds that the premium on t le of the bonds should be paid into the Ban Francisco depot fund, to be used by the Harbor Commissioners for the pur- poses specified. ——— Accidentally Shot at Sea. TACOMA, Wasn., May 15—Frank Mec- Namara of the-goilier Westmore, which | arrived here from San Francisco to-dsy, was removed to the hospital suffering from a dangerous bullet wound in the hip, inflictad by the accidental discharge of a rifle which he was cleaning. The doctors are unable to locate the bullet. SAN JOSE’S ’98 CARNIVAL, Frank B8tock Elected Director-General of the Fete, SAN JOSE, CaL., May 15. - Preparations for a big floral carnival to be held in this city next spring were commenced last evening with the selection of a director- general and an executive committee to have charge of the fete.

SAN JOSE, CAr., May 15—The flower show for the benefit of the Pratt Home, which closed at Turn Verein Hall this evening, was a grand success in all par- ticulars. The attendance was larger to- night than at any time during the week. Fresh flowers had been added to the ex- hibits and decorations, and the hall pre- tiful aspect. This afternoon matinee, and interesting ex- ercises were participated in_ by kinder- garten children unier the Misses Mac- kenzie. A fine musical programme under the direction of Miss Lena Sullivan was rendered tornight ana dancing followed. o gagae s Death of Grandma’’ Rucker. SAN JOSE, CaL., May 15.—'Grandma” Verrenda 8.

She was a native of Madison County, Virginia, and 87 years of ag She crossed the plains with her husband, the late W. T. Rucker, in 1852, and settled in this county. Four daughters and five sons survive her. The funeral will be held to-morrow. b OVEKLAND TO ENSENADA. Traction Engine to Bo hun Over Lower California Hills, SAN DIEGO, Cin, May 15.—Charles Bennett of Knsenada has this year 20,000 acres in wheat, which he estimates will yield 200,000 sacks. On Monday he will receive at San Diegn a twenty-horse power traction engine to be used in running his thrashing-machine. He expects to run the engine overland to Ensenada, a dis- tance of eighty miles. This will be the first time such a thing has been attempted and it is made necessary because there is no hoisting gear of sufficient size on the Ensenada wharf to handle the engine. Harvesting has begun in Lower Cali- fornia. P e Receivsr f. v a Tacoma Paper. TACOMA, Wasg,, May 15.—On applica- tion of J. M. Blain, the cashier, Judge Carroll this morning app-inted Major O. B. Hayden receiver of the Ledger Pub- lishing Comnany. The paper's debts amount to $69,000, and the assets com- prise the Associatea Press franchise, ace counts receivable amounting to $10,000 and a first-class mechanical plant. The Ledger will probably be sold and reor- ganized, thus ending several old political fights in which it has taken part during the last few years, notably when it fought the Repubiican candidates for Mayor and Governor. C. A. Snowden will remain editor under the receiver and no changes will be made. LN R Tramps Overrun The Needles. SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, May 15.— District Attorney Daley has just returned from The Needles, whither he went in re- sponse to an urgent call for his services. It was found that under the new county government law constables had no re- course for the collection of fees for transporting vagrants to the county seat, 208 miies distant, and as the city there i overrun with_hobos the citizsns arein a quandary. situation has become so serious that a vigilance committee was to be formed. Sheriff Holcomb has been ap- pealed to and he has zone to The Needles to work out a possible solution of the enigma. PV A Temblor Jars Son Disnans.
