It will resuit in a prosecution for forgery of W. Ford Spencer, a prominent farmer, or his wife, or both. Suit was brought by Mrs. Spencer in the J Court of Shingletown Township aga!

Garter, ex-United States strict Attorney, as attorney for the d fendants, demanded to see the promi sory mnote, denying the existence of the same. To the amazement of the defense a note for $25, payable to Mrs. Spence) and . signed with the name of Josep! Martin, was roduced. ~Martin was dumfounded and stoutly denied the au- thorship of the note. 2 Judge Cunningham stopped the triai and announced his Intention of taking proofs on the authenticity of the promis- sory note. A continuance was taken in the case until July 10, at which-time both sides of the case will have handwriting experts up from San Francisco to pass on the note. The Spencers are known throughout the State. Mrs. Spencer was a witness on the Von Tiedeman forgery case in San Francisco recently. Spencer himself ig best known in this count¥ by the numerous times that his name adorns the dockets of the Justice's and Superior courts. MRS. LEIBBRANDT WINS.

SAN JOSE, June 28.—Mrs. Bertha Lieb- brandt was given a verdict against Miner Jean Borg this afternoon for $4500 for breach of promise of marriage. Thirty thousand dollars were asked in the suit, but the little bathhouse proprietress of the Surf City evinced considerable pleas- ure when the verdict was read. The jury was only out a couple of hours. A ten days’ stay was granted and the case will undoubtedly go to the Supreme Court. The verdict hinged solely on_the testi- mony of Mrs. Leibbrandt and Sorg.

Mr. Lloyd before starting down loosen- ed the needle of the indicator on the en- glne that the engincer might set it in the proper place on the indicator when he should receive signal to do so. Mr. Lloyd marked a spot on the indicdtor to which the engineer with perfect safety might lower him. The engineer lowered him inch by inch, waiting for Mr. Lloyd's signal. Before reaching the spot on the indicator mark- ed by Mr. Lioyd he stopped the cage en- tirely, When the night engineer arrived he did not immediately hoist the cage, as stated, i ecided to send a man down the ‘wh la ich is in i chamber parallel to that in which the cage runs, to see if all were well, as Yo (Faulknerj had begun to_be anxlous, When the Wi report was brought to the surface that the occupants of the cage were drowned the engineer did not try to get Gway, but in company with the watchman went down to the town, a dis- tatice of about a mile, notified members of the company whom he thought should know of the matter, sent the watchman in search of the wroper wuthoritier and himself n fifty yards of the Jail until such authorities appeared.

He claimed she demanded money, and when he refused she threat- ened the suit just decided. SHASTA’S FINEST FRUIT FARM WILL BE SOLD Code Commissioner Shanahan to Lose a Very Valuable Piece of Property. REDDING, June 28.—One of the finest fruit farms in Skasta County, the famous Shanahan ranch near Anderson, will be s0ld under trustees’ sale on August 8. The Shanahan family, including Code =Com- missioner T. W. H. Shanahan, mortgaged the property in the early 'S0’s to Dr. J. O. Smith of Cottonwood. The interest and principal had reached the sum of $19,000 on November 9, when Dr. Smith instituted foreclosure proceedings in the Superior Court. To prevent a sale under fore- closure, the Shanahan family executed g deed of trust. Dr. Smith assigned the deed of trust to the Bank of Northern California of this city in consideration of a loan of §9000.

The Filipino to to the Americans. He has been fre- quently requested to join Aguinaldo, but always refused to do so. The fact that the rebel leader has sent such a request is capable of dou- ble interpretation. Possibly Aguinaldo desires to know what his would be in the event of his surrender, or it is po ble that he wants to obtain information as to ports opened by or- der of General Otis, through which he might obtain provisions and other sup- | plies for his army and at the same time ship the prod of the country. The ‘request for the information, coming as it does direct from Agui- naldo, settles the reports that have been circulated to the effect that he has been assassinated by the friends of ing of the latte men, presumably by his erder. Under General Otis’ instructions the | gunboats engaged in blockading duty now allow vessels with regular clear- ance papers to pass the blockade, but the issuing of an order to this effect | was delayed, owing to the fact that the opening of ports would enable the in- surgents, who are in control of them, to collect duties an articles imported. There was great distress at several of the closed ports, owing to the lack cf food, and business was at a complete standstill, owing to the merchants be- ing unable to obtain supplies. These facts influenced neral Otis to issue the order, he considering that the situation is now sufficiently favor- | able to permit restricted business being | done at the ports. The order simply | permits the landing of food, and a close watch will be kept to prevent filibus- ters from landing arms, amrmaunition | and other supplies for rabe A severe typhoon is blow nd this is delaying the sailing of vess. which want to take advantage of the opening | of the ports. The situation remains comparatively quiet to the south and east of Manila, where recent fighting | took place. A rebels’ scouting party to-day met a patrol of the Wyoming regiment, and in seeking escape, fled into the arms of a battalion of the Fourth Infantry. Two of the insur- gents were captured with their arms. There is increasing activity among the insurgents at San Fernando, and they apparently are anxious to resume hostilities. It is reported to-day that General Pio del Pilar, with 2000 men, has joined the main body of the insur- gents there.

He has & asked for a statement of the exact num- ber that he will need to complete hese two resgiments and fill up the com- nies of the regular regiments under his command.

C., June 28.—The steam- | ers Tartar and G ogle arrived to-day from Hongkong, bringing an interesting story from Hakodate, where the steamer Hokoku Maru had just returned from the Philippines. Her master, Captain Kawa- mura Sakichi, reported that in the south- ern islands the young Filipinos are con- | structing fortifications against emergen- | cies. Every port is garrisoned by a thou- | sand or so0 volunteers, whose weapons, however, are very crude, only about 20 per | cent being armed with rifles (Reming- | tons). They are, however, full of pa- | triotism and state that they will not yield | to the Americans, though the whole of | the islands are destroyed. The photo- | graphs of Aguinaldo are to be seen on the walls of all the huts in the camps, and | his influence is great. The Hokoku “Maru was warmly wel- comed by the Filipinos, who considered | | the Japanese to be of a kindred race, and | hoped for assistance from them. ' The | officers in the camps entertained the ship's officers and crew, and endeavored | to make arrangements for a supply of | arms and ammunition from Japan, for | which they said they were prepared to pay a large sum of money. '1‘hey further | stated that they could supply large quan- | tities of hemp a return cargo for Japanese vessels visiting the islands. The Hokoku is believed to have done a prob- able trade in Remingtons and ammuni- tion, but her master naturally denies the charge, asserting that all he sold were two revolvers and the cook’'s knives. There was no question but that the in- surgents are well supplied with gold cofn. EXEMPTS REFUSE TO MARCH WITH CHINESE Veteran Firemen of Stockton May Not Participate in the Fourth of July Parade.
