The highwayman then ordered the boy, Cooper, to climb down. When Cooper compliea he gave him an ax, and told him to break open the treas- ure-box, adding, “*Be quick, there.” There is a dispute as to what was in the box, the Northern Pacific Express Com- pany claiming it empty, while others say it contained several hundred dollars.

A few days azo a suit against Grady and Williams, brought by O.J. Woodward of the First National Bank, was tried vefore Jjustice Austin. The action was instituted to col- lect $35 on a prcmissory note which on its iace had been executed by the defendants juintly and severaily. When Woodward had presented the note upon its maturity to Williams he re- fused to pay it and declared that he had never signed such an instrument. The banker then brought suit in Justice Aus- tin’s court and Williams filed an answer, to which he made oath, setting forth that he never signed the note, and that his nome on it was a forgery. When the case came up for trial he re- iterated what he had stated 1n his answer, that some one had forged his name to the note. W. H. McKenzie and John Reich- man, as experts on handwriting, and Woodward also, testified that they were familiar with Wiltiams’ signzture, and the one appended to the note invoived in the suit they declared to be genuine, Judge Austin decided that Williams had signed the note, and gave the plaintift judgment against him, ————— MES.

There has been a movementin that dircciion for nearly a year past, and now the promoters of the scheme announce that within the next few moaths, or by April 1, 1898, at the latest, they will be prepared to give power to mill and faciory and light to business houses, offices and residences. A syndicate composed of R. R.

Their power will indirectly be derived from the headwaters of the Yuba River, the point at which the stream is tapped being possessed of a volume of water sufli- cie or a lalf dozen cities the size of San Francisco. Frem the Browns Valley irrigation ais- trict the company has procured a lease of the water in its canal (in transit). The deeds from the owners of the site at which the power will be generated have been en- tered on the county records, and all that now remaius to be done is to place the machinery and strine poles and wires from the mountain down into the vailey.

SOUGHT REPOSE [N DEATHS PATH Monterey Hermit’s Last Sleep on a Railway Track. Antonio Carascllas Struck by a Locomotive and Killed. Some Credenca Given a Theory That He Was Drugged and Left There to Dle. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. MONTEREY, Oct. 20.—Antonio Carasel- 1as, who becanse of his peculiar manner of living has long been known as one of the oadest of Monterey’s many odd ver- sonages, met his death last night m a manner which accorded weil with bhis strange career. While Iyin - drunk upon the railroad track he was struck and killea by an incoming train. When his body was examined not a cu:. or scar of any kind, except one small bruiss on his back, could be found. An old rusty pistol lay beside him, with its barrels empty. Many persons believe that Carasellas was placed upon the track by enemies while drunk, Antonio Carasellas has long been one of the characters of Montercy, living in a mensure the life of a hermit in his queer half boat, half house, which stooi below high-water line on the beach near the Southern Pacific freight depot His shanty was one of the curiosities of the town. He was a fisherman by trade. go- ing always alone in his boat. Though an Italian he was dubbed by the other fish- ermen here “Espanoliio,” meaning little Spaniard, because of his diminutive size and swarthy complexion. He had been drinking very heavily of iate, and yester- day afternoon had started home from one of the zaloons, That was the last seen of him until he was found on the track after the incoming evening train was supposed to have killed him. The engineer wasbringing his train into Monterey station at half speed when he noticed an object on the track. He was too close to stop before reacuing it, and the engine struck it and threw it from the track., Tue train was stopped and the body of a man was found beside the rail Life stil! remained, but_after the unfortu- nate had been eonveyed up town he ex- pired. The theory that Carasellas was placed upon the track by enemies while ne was drunk or that be was drugzed or porsoned and then left between the rails may be borne out when the inquest is held. An autopsy isto be conducted to determi e whether he had awallowed any drug jast prior 10 his deatn.

Ante-Election Predictions by Men on Either Side of the Polltl= cal Fence. ecial Dispatch to THE CALL ACRAMENTO, Oct. 20.—T:ie inter- views published in to-day’s CAry have been the talk of this city since the paper arrived. *Why,” said a prominent Republican to Tue CaLL correspondent, “‘to hear the supporters of Huoburd and Stephens talk one would think that the respectability of this commmunity was confined to those who are Hubbara and Stephens men. Those interviews in to-day’s Carr will, 1 think, open some people’s eyes. If you can pick out a more representative lot of Sacramento’s best men than that list con- tains I'd like to have you do it. Itell you that list is a ‘corker’ on Siepuens and Hubbard, each one of whom is claiming a monopoly of the respectable element of the town.” George Ryder, the downtown politician, had no relish for that sort of a dish and said: “Of course there must be some supporters of Land and he will geta pretty good vote. I will place to Lana’s credit when the vpolls are closed between 1700 and 1800 votes, the probabilities being that he will not touch thelatter ficure.” “How many will Hubbard have?” “Somewhere nigh on to 20,000, and he wil! be the next Msyor, and don’t you for- getit,” said George, as he dropped inoa chairin Captain Siddon’s ‘‘reading-room."” “The trouble with you fellows is you're trying to make butter out of skimmed milk. The material you're working with has had the cream ‘tarken out of it. A Republican nomination ain’t worth nothin’ no more. All the good men have left the party. Now, there's Ben Stein- men and Howard Kimbrough and Luhrs and L. L. Lewis. When these kind of men ran with you you had some chance, but Wwith nice creamy men like them taken out your cak-’s all dough. No, sir; you can’t win. Hubbard's the man. “Now, there's another man you fellows used to have. He ain’t with you no more. He's with us good people, like me, and Lewellyn, and Sparrow Smith and the rest of the White Wings. We don't de- pend on no party when we vet the itchin’ for ofhce; we just get up and run inde- ndent, and don't ask nobody any odds. o're all right, and the only trouble with us is pretty nearly all our gang are run- nin’ for one thing or another, but that don’t cut anyice. We can voie for one another, and with Hubbard, and Lewel- lyn, and Pete Newman and Walter we will come pretly near running this town for the next two years. “Excuse me, now, I've got an engage- ment with the ci izens’ committee in the basement of their church. When I come back 1 may have something more to say.” And George walked up tife street to Fourth ana J, where he was joined by Deacon Strong, Henry Heilborn of the Shaw-Ingram- Batcher Company, wholesale dealers in agriculiural imlements and suceessors to Huntington & Hopkins, is a very close ob- rver and caiculator upon polifical sitna- tions to a nicety.

M. ing been chosen to preside at a meeting of dsy night in response to a call signed by him and which announced the object to be ‘“‘to take impertant action in reference to a new charter.” As this meeting was attended bx about seventy persons, and was addressed by of One Hundred, the demonstration seemed to indicate the sudden develop- ment of a faction hostile to the work now being done by the Cbarter Convention of One Hundred. The bugle blast against the possible rise of an autocracy in the Mayor's office ap- veared like a vpremature declaration of war. The speeches made at the gathering were, however, not in any degree belliger- ent. It was snnounced that what was really desired at this time was to strength- en the bands of the minority in the Char- ter Convention of One Hundred mnow bravely baitling for the introduction of certain great political and economic re- forms which they sjill hope to sccure through the new charter route.

They had already secured the adoption of the prine ciple of referendum on a basis of a peti- tion signed by 15 per cent of the voters. By a sirong organization of the citizens who favored the doctrine of proportional body of Supervisors and the vesting of pearly all executive power in the city’s legislat.ve body, thus practically anni- hflning the yor, the reformers would win the day Mr. Cuthbartson moved that two boards of frecholders should be put up to be voted for—one to represent the policy of baving a povular government by Super- visors and the other (o stand for the prin- ciple involved in the setting up of a Mayor with all the powers of an autocrat. He said he intended to made thi+ his special fight in the Coarter Convention of One Hondred. Dr. Timothy Welzel, the secretary of the New Citisens' Cuarter Association, said vesterday that thé charter conven- tion was doing very well thus far, but what the reformers in the field of econo- mics demanded was more good reforms, They wanted m: direct contro! by the people of municipal affairs than was pro- yided in the new charter. Tuey wanted all franchises referred to the veople for in- dorsement or rejection. They wanted public ownership of public utilities with- out burdening the people with a public debt—practical through the process by which the people of Guernsey built their public marke -hcuse.
