4 UET 1 RESTORED AT COLOSA Vinelli Grows Weaker, and His Death Is Expected. MILITIA REMAINS ON GUARD. Sheriff Jones Determined Not to Be Caught Napping by Lynchers. STRONG FORCESURROUNDS THE PRISON. Miss Poirler, the Victim ofthe Mexi- can, Recovering From Her Wounds. COLUSA, CaL., Aug. 27.—Quiet has been restored here and it is believed that the danger of an attempted lvnching has passed. The condition of Pedro Vineili, who shot and dangerously wounded Miss Florine Poirier last Tuesday, took s change for the worse to-da The Mexican has taken no nourishme xcept a littie milk since the day of the tragedy, and it now seems probuble that cheat the enraged Colusans out of their desired vengeance. Vinelli tosses about and moans in pain on his hard cot in the County Jail. He can be induced to talk but little, when he does speak itis to| defend his actand declare th his son had been ill-treated by the beautitul girl whose life he attempted to take. Miss Poirier is resting easily and bids fair to recover (rom her wounds. This has helped 10 placate men who sought her as- sailant’s life, and unless her condition suddenly changes for the worse there is little ligelihoot that an attack on the prison would be meditated, even though it were not surrounded by National Guards. Company D will piobably return to Marysv:lle to-morrow, but Sheriff Jones, reso.ved not 1o be taken unawares, will keep Company B of Colusa in readiness to answer his call should tie militia be needed. Despite the present inaction of the vigilantes, there is a possibility that they are quietly preparing for asudden onslaught upon the prison when present excitement has died down, and it is to prevent a surprise of this nature that the Sher:ff is takingz unusual precautions. “I hope there will be no further trou- ble,”’ said Shenff Jones to-dav. will be protected at ail hazards. I cannot express tke grief I would fzel shou!d I be compelled to order the prison guards to fire upon my friends—for among those who wish te hang Vinelli there are un- | questionabiy many ‘citizens who friends or mine—but I have said that the order would be g ven if an atiack was made upon the prison, and I will keep my word.” No one who knows Sheriff Jones doubts that he would do as he promised if lynch- ers attempted to storm ronghold. It was this knowledge that held the mob in check on Wednesday. night, when it was at the firehouse arranging the details of the proposed attack. warning to the vigilantes, and after it was received 1o one had the hardihood to vol unteer to lead in the aitempt to visit death npon-the hated Mexican prisoner. are I do not-believe there will be further | trouble,” continued the Sheriff; *but just to be on the sate side, I will keep one company of militia ready to come out at a moment’'s notice, and 1.will not decrease the present force of prison guards. The chandes are that Vinelli will die anyhow, and. there will be no subject for a lynch- ing demonstration. Major Douglass of the Szcond Regi- ment, N.G. C., arrived to-day and isin command of the two companies of militia stationed at the prison. remain in Colusa for several days or until it is certain that there is no reason to fear an onslauzht upon the prion. Even though Vinelli recovers from his ndicted wounds, his arraignment will not take place for some time to come, as weeks will elapse before he will be strong enough to arise from the hard cotin his FISHER M._I0tN WINE CLOSED, Low Price of Silver hespansibia for a Cessation of Work in the Claim. SEATTLE, Wasu. Aug. 27.—The own- ers ot the Fisher M .iden mine, one of the richest silver producers in the Slocan country, have orlered it ciosed indefi- nitely. The great depression in silver is responsible, Frank Watson, one of the pioneersin tue Slocan district, is the chief owner of the Fisher Maiden. Associated with Wat- son are a number of British Columbia and Washington men. The Fisher Maiden, although a comparatively new mine, has proved to be one of the very richest in the district. A few days ago Watson received returns from the smelter at Everett on a carload of ore, Seven sacks produced 870 ounces of silver ore, worth at tue present market price 2 little over $452. A carload ol twenty tons assayed 240 ounces to the ton. As:ays on several shipments from the mine have gone as high as 367 ounces. The average value of Fishcr Maiden ore is considerably over eighty ounces to the ton. The mine cau be prefitably worked for $30 a ton. At the present market pricz, the ore would yield a margin of profit over this figure, but the gain would ba small in comparison witn the price of silver before the recent slump began. Mr. Watson is the chiet nwner in a group of claims in the Slocan district, in- cuding the Arlington, Good Friday, Paupers’ Drean, Early Bird and Indiana. In the Ariington sheets of native siiver have been found, and the ore now being taken out is sufficiently valuable to war- rant the continued operation of the mine. —_——— Brakeman Woun: SACRAMENTO, CAL., Aug. 27.—Brake- man Stewart of the overland train leav- ing heie for San Francisco this evening shot a tramp in the calf of the lez at ‘Washington, Yolo County.

Tells of Her Cruel Treatment While Toiling In a Madera Vineyard. FRESNO, CaL, Aug. 27.—For the past few days the authorities uf Madera, acting at the instance of the British Consul at San Francisce, have been trying to locate a girl named Emma Davis, whom it is their purpose to rescae from a liie of slavery. Mr. and Mrs Stubbs, who own avineyard two miles from Madera, ar- rived with the girl from England five years azo. They compelled her to per- form the work of a man in the flelds, and Mrs. Stubbs 1n drunken fits of anger often beat the child. The girl was notsent to school, but kept in a life of bondage on the farm, mistreated and compelled to en- dure hardships that were cruel for one of her tender years. A few weeks ago Mrs. Stubbs learned that the Consul was interesting himself in the case, and tbe woman, not desiring to lose possession of the girl, brougnt her to Fresuo and bound her out to workon a farm. Sneriff Westfall was working on the case, but he could rot find the girl, Mrs. Stubbs refusing positively to give Lim any information. To-night THE CALL correspondent suc- ceeded in locating the girl. She is at the nome of Mr. and Mrs, E. D. Merriam, two miles southeast of this city, and has in- deed found friends in them. They will see to it, if no one else wil!, that the un- fortunate girl shall not return again to the life of bondage to which Mrs. Stubbs sub- jected her on the Madera vineyard. Mr. and Mrs. Merriam are an elderly | couple, without children, and are taking a deep interest iu the child that has come under their care. Merriam is a prosperous vineyardist, and he is able to provide for his temporary ward. To her new friends the girl had already told the story of her life, but they had not been aware that the authorities were 1n- teresting themselves in Miss Davis’ wel- fare before informed that such was the case by the newspaper man. They bad themselves been thinking of taking steps to free the child from the conirol of Mrs. Stubbs, “The giri has been badly mistreated,” said Merriam. ‘'She has been stunted in growth both in mind and body. She cannot even teii ihe time of the clock. She does not know her own age, and in fact the only thing that she has knowl: edge of is hard manual labor. When she came here two weeks ago she had only the scantiest supply of wearing apparel, and this was of a very inferior character at that.” The girl told the history of her life. She has a pretty face, and while Mrs. Stubbs bad repre-ented that she was 17 years Mr. and Mrs. Merriam did not believe she was more thun 14. The girl’s face and hands wers hard from labor in the field. She spoke with a strong Eng- lish accent. “My real name is Emma Elliz, although Mrs. Stubbs calls me Emma Davis, My mother sent me to California with the Siubbs’ five years ago. She does washing and my father is a gardener in England. I am very glad to have got away from Mrs. Stubbs, for she treated me cruclly sometimes, making me work from early until late ai the heaviest kind of labor on the ranch. Many times 1 felt I conld not stand it. Sometimes Mrs. Stubbs became drunk on wine, and then she would beat me. = She often told me 1 was the siave of her family and that I was there to work for them. “I never was sent to school, and during the five vears I was at Madera I never was aliowed to write to my mother, and 1 never received a letter from her. The girl told her story in the simplicity of manner that was convincing of its truth. Sheritf Westfail will jrobabply | come down from Madera to-morrow to take charge of the unfortnnate caild.

Nothing was developed at the inquest, but the idea was broached that the Mongolian committed suicids to escape death at the hands of his country- man.

Health Officer Harkness knows of & number of threats having been made against the leper’s life. Twge By TRINITY - BOUND FROM REDDING. Great Exodus affi:pocion Contin- ues, Despite Discouraging fieports of Back Trailers. REDDING, Car., Aug. 27.—Prospectors from various seciions of the country are still gathering in this city, bound for the Coffee Creek gold fields. This morning about seventy-five arrived and have been devoting their time to-day to buying sup- plies and outfits. Notwithstanding the fact that just now some very discouraging reports are com- ing in from the new diggings thase new- comers are not to be thrown off the track in their search for gold, 'and right in the face of these adverse reports they con- tinue to flock to Trinity like sheep. Along with the few discouraging re- ports come many good reports of new strikes, and the general situation remairs ebout the same as during the past week. A few small strikes in rich gravel have been made, and a number of exceed- ingly rieh quarizclaims are being opened. The sale of ihe famous Bloss & Mec- Cleary mine and the changing hands of several other pieces of Trinity proverty bave beer: the means of restoring confi- dence among a good many who would bave otherwise “back-trailed” from Red- ding. Quite a number of these pros- vectors, or would-be vrospecters, who bave arrived here and been given a dose of cold water by some who are over anx- ious to give mining affairs a black eve senerally, hearing of these new sales and bonding of property, have been given re- newed confidence, and will now go to the new goldtieids and take their chances along with the thousands who are already camped in the vicinity of Coffee Creek. Six of about the ~worst aiscouraged people ihat can possibly be found arrived here to-night from Trinity Center. They came down on the regular stage, tired, dusty and sore, and with opinions of Trinity County some of which were they expressed in type weuld not appear very presentable. - Whether this half dozen men have done any prospeciing or not is not known, but if their opinfonisacted on by those still intendin= to go to the mines, there will be a change of front, and the arrivals will be considerably less frequent from now on. A Among this small party of back-trailers is a German with an exceedingly foreign accent to his speech. He was about the maddest man in the bunch, and lost no opportunity in expressing his contempt for everything and evervbody. A large number of the sporting frater- | nity of Redding left to-dav to “'do” the races at Triniiv Center. Many of them will remain in Trinity and work the tiger at the new town of Coffeeville, It is re- ported that 200 prospectors from southern voints will arrive here to-morrow.

Schofield and Dan Dutcher, charged with the murder of Rancher George W. Schofield, were arraigned, before Judge Lorigan this morning.

The detendants are anxious for an im- mediate trial, and in all probability their case will be taken up next month, They will try to establish self-defense, claiming that Dutcher killed Schotield while the rancher was pursuing his wife with a shot- gun. No new evidence has been developea by the authorities. JVAILED AS A COMMON, DRUMNK. Putative Son of a Millionnire Impris- on+d at San Joee. SAN JOSE, CAr., Aug. 27.—George A.

He was given thirty days 10 sober up in, and tnen Chief Kid- ward obtained for him a position in a hotel. This he held for a few months, but his insatiable appetite for drink soon con- quered him. —_——— Fire at an infirmary. SAN JOSE, Can., Aug. 27.—Fire this afternoon broke out in the tankhouse at the County Infirmary and very nearly destroyed the bullding before it wus got under control. The loss is about $1000.

MONTEREY, CaL, Aug. 27. — The producers hereabouts, particularly in the Salinas Valley, have adopted anew method of packing potatoes for shipment. Instead of ‘nuing them in sacks the Monterey County farmers are packing them in 100- pound boxes. In this manner the po- tatoes reachi the consumer in a more tractive shape, are less liable to become bruised and the customer can see exactly what he is buying. Buyers are so pleazed with the new method that tne ‘boxed ' po- tatoes command 25 cents more per 100 pounds than those in sacks. —_—————— Do you want to know about “‘Trowel Burns?” Reud to-day’s Star, s °;.

Carried Out of Her Course While Speeding Through a Fog Bank. Late at Night the Tug Resolute Succeeds in Releasing the Vessel. PORT TOWNSEND, WasH.,, Aug. 27.— The brigantine Blakeley, while bound in from a successful three months on the halibut banks of Bering Sea, went asbore this morning near Dungeness lighthouse and all day long resisted efforts to re- lease her. Late to-night, however, the tug Resolute succeeded in freeing her, and is mow towing her up the sound. The brigantine 1s badly damaged. The straits of Juan de Fuca wer: at the | time the Biakeley struck covered by a bianket of fog and smoke, making it im- | possible for those aboard to see a length ahead. When the vessel struck on the dangerous coast the tide was at its fullest flooa and the ou flyw, which soon became apparent on tne vessel's side, showed that the Blakeley was in a perilous position. Word was shouted to the lighthouse, whence a teiegram for assistance was sent to Port Angeles. The tugz Resolute went to the rescue of the imperiled craft and every device known for saving a stranded vessel was resorted to without success, un- t1l high tide to-night. The catch of the vessel, comprising 200 tons of halibut and cod, weighed her down heavily, adding much to the difficulty., The brig Blakeley was made famous two years ago by being utilized as the initial passenger packet for the hordes which were then rushing to the land of gold in the Cooks Inlet country. Horses and human beings packed the craft down to the water’s edge, In this condition, with the 200 lives aboard in constant jeopardy, she set szil. Carrier pigeons for a while brought back tidings of an unusually tumulutous trip, and then ail idings suddenly ceased, giv- ing the inference that the vessel had foun- dered with all on board—a view which was not removed when for over three months she continued missing. Finally, however. after steps had been taken at the earnest solicitation of those aboard to send a Government vessel out in search of the brigantine, she arrived off Resurrection Creek and was reported. About half the horses had been killed and eaten, and the passengers were fast becom- ing desperate. Since her return here the lakeley has been in the fishing trade ex- clusively. The pointat which the Blakeley was hela prisoner is a sandy bar, exposed to every wind. In 1887 the well-known bark Lizzie Marshail went ashore there, Lut was saved at an enormous expense by the in- surance companies. In 1890 the Chilean ship Savona, bound in from Chile, be- came a total wreck. In 1892 the Chilean stip Eraetrae became vecalmed and drifted upon the rocks, becoming a total wreck. A vear later th- American bark R. K. Ham, cormpieting her one hundred and first voyage to the sound, went aground in the identical spot where the Blakeley was strand These five wrecks have all occarred, strangely enough, along a shore line of less than a mile, Fireme.
