As to the distance to the bottom of the well, as it now exists, no one will hazard a guess. Natives of the district were {inter- viewed as to the probability of a flow.

SANTA BARBARA, April 13.—Aided by her gardener, Mrs. Broome, a promi- nent Santa Barbara lady, held fourteen workmen and the City Marshal at bay. One year ago the City Council notified Mrs. Broome to destroy a hedge that obstructed a publiec highway, and which extended sixteen fegt beyond her prop- erty. The matter of establishing the official grade on that street has been agitated for a long while, and finally the sen- sation of the obstruction reached a climax this morning. Marshal Martin, accompanied by his deputy and a force of workmen, went to the place to dis- charge their duties, but met with a de- termined resistance on the part of Mrs. Broome and her hired man. She seized a pick, made for the officer, and struck him_ a blow on the shin which may prove serious. Martin took the imple- ment from her and she immediately made straightway for another, but be- fore she had taken a few steps she was overpowered and arrested. They next proceeded to arrest the hired man, Alexander Vanezuela, who was armed with a revolver and club. | Had it not been for the extreme care they used in performing the operation it might have cost the life of one of the men. Martin attracted Vanezuela's at- tention while Richardson, his deputy, came noiselessly from behind and dis- armed him. Both Mrs. Broome and her man were conducted to the Ci Jail. When brought into the Police Court she was read the complaint charging her with | resisting an officer and informed of the nature of the offense. Although bail was offered her, she refused, and stated that she would not employ a counsel. She further stated that she had been unlawfully arrested and would main- tain that position, on account of her nationality, being British, and will bring the matter into the Federal court. In the meantime the work of remov- ing the obstructions over which the trouble occurred went on and was soon completed. The prisoners were released on their own recognizance. This is a high misdemeanor and must be tried in the Superior Court. REMARKABLE FEAT OF A FLYING FISH Goes Through All Kinds of Pipes on the City of Puebla Before Land- ing in a Bucket. HONOLULU, April 5.—Chief Engineer Cress of the City of Puebla, now in port, tells of the miraculous escape from death of a “malolo,” or.flying fish, aboard the transport while on the way from San Francisco to Honolulu. It was noticcd upon nearing the islands that one of the pump valves was clogged by some foreign substance. Upon open- ing the faucet wide a flying fish flopped out, and falling into a bucket of water beneath began swimming about very briskly. Before making its appearance in the bucket the fish had to do a lot of travel- ing over an uncomfortably circuitous route. It undoubtedly entered the ship by means of the broken screw of the suc- tion pipe at the side of the vessel. From here it passed through the chamber of the pump, discharge valves and into a two-inch pipe over a hundred feet long, and having two very sharp turns; thence nto and through a one-inc %fipe with two sharp turng; thence into a three-quarter- inch pipe, through the faucet and into the bucket of water mentioned above. This is a faithful account of the per: nations of a simple little’ fiyin; Touchea for by the officers of the Gty of whose words cannot be doubted. : fish that made this wonderful jour- ney without mishap died in the bucket and was afterward skinned and stuffed. It now decorates the engineers’ depart- ment_of Uncle Sam's fastest transport, the City cf Puebla. ON THE WAY TO MANTLA. Arrival of Transports at Honolulu, One With a Very Bad List. HONOLULU, April 5—The United States transport Cleveland sails for Man- fla this afternoon. She came into port with a very bad list to starboard, this be- ing caused by careless stowing of coal and freight in San Francisco. The City of Puebla, that made the trip to Honolulu in six days and two hours, will sail to- morrow. The soldiers aboard her are all in flne condition. During their stay in Honolulu they have been taken out for ex- ercise daily. The United States transport Zealandia arriveéd in port early this morning. As it was impossible for her to secure whart room, she was anchored in the stream. Officere_and men are in good condition, having had a fine vovage from San Fran- cisco. Captain Dowdell expects to be here about four days. The good weather from San Francisco is a surprise to him, as he had a record of meeting bad weather at every turn. He believes that there was no bad weather in the Paclfic Ocean. Otherwise he would have found it. i o Officers of a Sugar Company. HONOLULU, April 5.—The Onomea Su: gar Company to-day elected O. M.

HOW THE NOTE WAS MADE DUE TO SETTLEMENT BETWEEN SAM AND WILLIAM. Other Important Witnesses Heard, and the Note Which Is Now the Bone of Contention Is Posi- | tively Identified. 4 Special Dispatch to The Call WILLOWS, April 13.—The Murdock case opened this morning at 9:30 o’clock and the matter of the objection of the defense to the plaintiff, Mary Helen Murdock, testifying was argued. The | contention of the defense was that the | plaintiff was incompetent under section | 1880 of the Code of Civil Procedure of this State. The point was argued fully by both sides and submitted. The court ruled that the objection was good and sus- tained it. After the ruling, however, a short consultation was had and the, defense withdrew all objections to the plain- tiff testifying and she was immediately | placed upon the stand, and told all| about the note and its making. She said that she was called home from Al- len Springs by some message, and ar- rived home at about midnight on April | 4, 1877. On September 5, 1877, William | and Samuel Murdock met her at her home, and after completing a seule-! ment of their affairs, extending over a | period of some fifteen years, and the note in question given as evidence of | that settlement, Samuel gave William | two notes, one of $26,000 and one of a | smaller sum and $20,000 in gold coin. TELLS HER STORY | to-day. Witness knew of other sums of money | passing from Samuel to William prior | to the making of the $100,000 note. ‘Witness sald that the agreement was | mutual between the two men, and that it was the wish of Samuel that the| note be made payable to plaintiff, in| order that his two grandchildren should | get the money. The time of twenty | vears was also made for that purpose, | as Samuel sald that at that time the boys would be wise enough to know the val of money. Witness made a good appearance and General Barnes was unable to shake her in the least, after a severe cr examination. The next witness was H. A. Skiff, inter- | who in 1890 was present at an view between the plaintiff and William | Murdock, in which the plaintiff asked William for a payment of interest on the note, which request was refused, | William remarking that the plaintiff | ought to be satisfled, as she held his| note for $100,000, and it would all be| paid when due. An effort will be made to impeach | the witness by attempting to show contradictory statements made to par-| ties in the State of Washington. C. B. Ashurst testified to having called at G. W. Murdock’s place on the 4th of.September, 1877, and paid Samuel | | 810,000 that he owed him, which sum | was turned over to William on the fol- | lowing day when the $100,000 note wa made. Ashurst is a brother of the plaintiff and was formerly very wealthy | and was handling a great deal of| money and business at the time of this transaction. E. 1. Robinson, an attorney, now | of | mento, testified to having seen the noute in question at the State fair at Sacra- mento in September, 1877. He idgnn»i fled the note, having had it in his pos- | session at that time, making an ex- amination of it for a client of his, a Dr. Hicks. Piaintiff's attorneys announced at the close of the day’s session that th would in all probability rest to-morrow FARMERS OF YOLO They Are Ordering New Agricultural | Implements in Anticipation of | the Harvest. WOODLAND, April 13.—The opinion of a farmer of many years' experience is | that all the summer-fallow wheat and a great deal of the winter-sown will make good crops without another drop of rain, and that the normal amount of spring | showers will insure the largest crop that | has been harvested for many years. | One of the best Indications that the | farmers are of the opinion that crop pros- | pects are better than usual is to be found | in the fact that they are giving large or- | ders for agricultural fmplements. A Woodland dealer recently made a can- | vass among the river farmers in the in- | terest of improved mowers. The result of | that canvass surprised his most sanguine expectations. It is best told in the lan-| guage of the steamboat men. On the | last trip of the San Jose up the river she | was just twenty-four hours behind regu- lar time. When ked why this was so | the captain explained that his cargo of | freight was larger than usual, ‘and.” he | added, “there is hardly a landing ony the | Sacramento River at which we did!not stop and unload a lot of agricultural ma- chinery.” DOING BUSINESS BY BOATS. Promise of Activity at the Yolo County Landings. WOODLAND, April 13.—Owing to the | fact that the flood water is subsiding rap- | idly and that the road to Elkhorn will be | open for travel much sooner than usual, | that place is likely to become an impur-] tant landing this season. Woodland mer- chants are making a practice, at favor- | able seasons of the year, of shipping a | great deal of their heaviest freight from | San Franclsco by-boat. In this way they | | | | | not only secure better rates, but they furnish employment for Yolo County men | and teams. 1t is probable that the bulk of the grain- bags to be used in Yolo County will be landed from boats at Yolo County land- ings.

SAN RAFAEL, April 13.—When the | Supervisors met to-day it was confi- | dently predicted that they would | adopt the proposed ordinancé making | it a misdemeanor either to carry or| ship game or fish out of Marin Coanty. Attorney Mclsaac, however, the matter was simply discussed infor- mally and action postponed until next Wednesday. The reason for this procedure was-the | objections raised by the Country and | Tamalpais clubs that, while the board could prevent the shipping of game and fish, any ordinance prohibiting a person carrying them out of the county | would be unconstitutional. To effect | the desired result it was thought best | to frame am ordinance about which | there can be no question, and it was | | proposed that such be accomplished by | prohibiting the killing of game catching of fish for five years. The original measure intended for | adoption was presented to the Supervis- ! ors by Attorney Boyd in the form of a | petition from the San Rafael Gun Club, | the Novato Gun Club and a large num- | ber of ranchers and sportsmen who be- | or | | long to no organization of the kind whatever. It was really aimed at the | Country and Tamalpais clubs, the| members of which live principally in| n Francisco. These two clubs have | st preserves and control the best| shooting and fishing grounds in the | | | county. Huntsmen belonging to these clubs kill a big amount of game every open season and have always prose- cuted poachers to the full extent of the law.

SAN RAFAEL, April 3.—The contest- ants of the will of the late Aaron Shaver | have given up the struggle and permitted | the court to dismiss the case after firing the first shot. This move comes as a sur- | prise to the public, because from the al- legations made In: the complaint and the | frame of mind of the contestants a long legal battle was expected. No effort v made to compromise the case. It wa: concluded that the facts would not war- | rant a suit at lJaw and the expense due to an inevitable defeat, so the matter has simply been stricken from the calendar. Aaron Shaver died at an advanced ake about two months ago and left one-third of his estate, variously estimated to be worth from $30.000 to $40,000, to his brother Jacob, and the remainder to his pretty voung wife, Margaret, to whom he had been_married only a few years prior to his death. This marriage was strongly opposed by the rélatives at the time, and when the terms of the will were made and other relatives contested the will on behalf of themselves and their children. | Just as the case was to go Into court for a first hearing they deserted their guns and had the case dismissed. | SENT BY A STENOGRAPHER. | | | | Ollie Hanlocker Accused of Giving Poisoned Candy.
