Considers Plans of Settlement. At a meeting of the California Miners’ | Assoclation last night the war betweea the Mountain Copper Company and the local miners of Shasta County was dis- cussed, but no action was taken. Attor- ney Charles P. Eells for the Mountain Copper Company and A. H. Sprague, resident of the organization formed to 8.?1: the company’s application for lands, were present, and in a later interview ar- rived at an understanding that may end the trouble and agitation. The Mountain Copper Company was sald to seek the lands to prevent damage suits on account of its smelter smoke, and to be ready to guarantee miners ail their rights and equitiea. The petroleum lands bill to be sent to Congress this week was Indorsed. It was decided to send It especially to the Call fornia Congressman, Mr. Waters, who has the most ofl land in his district, because he would most gladly father and nurse it.

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 20.—The reunfon of | & man and wife once loving, but who had | been separated by a decree of the divorce courts, took, place in Judge Gardner's courtroom this morning. The husband was Robert Buchanan, on trial for obtaining money under false pretenses. Among the spectators sat his former wife. When the jury returned a verdict of “‘not gullty” the woman made her way through the crowd to Buchan- an's side and when she left the court- room it was leaning on his arm. A year ago Buchanan was dischar from employment on the North Pacific | Coast Rallroad. The family became in- debted to the local stores. All the bills were paid but one owed to H. A. Failey, a dry goods man. One morning Buchanan Jeft town, saying that he w. ing in search of work. Months pusog,v but no word reached Buchanan's family of his whereabouts. At last Mrs. Buchanan, acting mainly on the advice of friends, sued for divorce on the ground of deser- tion. She obtained the decree, Recently information reached here that Buchanan was at Sacramento. Last week he was brought here and has since been in jail. Mrs. Buchanan has frequently visited him in his cell, and the scene in court this morning was the culmination of the love which has reasserted its sway over the divorced pair.

ERKELEY, Feb. 20.—The annual intercollegiate fleld day, which next to the football game is the greatest contest between the two colleges, has been declared off un- less Berkeley or Stanford yields to points which they refused this evening. There was a meeting this evening be- tween Manager Cantwell of the Stanford track team and Manager Decoto of the Untversity of California track team, which broke up with the assertion upon the part of Manager Cantwell that if the fleld day was not held on the Stanford track that it would not be held at all, to which Man- | ager Decoto replied that it would not be held at all. The intercollegiate field day is usually held in April of each year, and Mancger Cantwell came.to Berkeley to-night to confer with Manager Decoto over the place where the events should be held. Last year the games took place on the Berkeley campus, and previous to_ that they had always taken place on the Oly pic Club grounds in San Francisco. Man- ager Cantwell cf Stanford astounded the Berkleyites by demanding that the games on the Stanford track. Manager Decoto sald that he saw no reason why the games should not be held at Berkeley, more particularly as a great deal of money had been expended gpon the Berkeley track. But the Stan- ford_man was obdurate. He stood for the Stanford track or none. Then Man- ager Decoto asked that the games be sent to the Olympic Club grounds, as of 1d, but again the Stanford man sald Finally Manager Decoto proposed a peace conference and arbitration. He asked that the matter be left in the hands of an arbitration committee, to be composed of Professor Richardson of Stanford, Professor Bacon of Berkeley and John Elliott of the Olympic Club. This bade fair to succeed until Professor Bacon was appealed to and refused to serve. Peace Conference Failed. Then it was proposed that it be left to Mr. Elliott as an arbitration committee of one, but Mr., Elliott refused to serve. Then Mr. Decoto proposed to leave it to the Btanford University faculty athletic committee, but by this time it was “Stanford or bust’ with the Stanford manager, and with Mr. Decoto declaring that {t 15 “Bust’ the matter stands. This is the outcome of a long serles of wrangles between the two colleges over this fleld day. When the programme of events was arranged Berkeley suddenly found that by adroit management the 100-yard, 220-yard and 440-yard dashes had been made to follow each other. This pre- vented Drumm, the Berkeley champion, who runs in all these races, from taking part in all successfully and by tiring him out in the first race and bnmnn‘z off the others in quick succession would injure his chances. Berkeley fought this suc- cessfully and now Stanford has demanded that the fleld day be held on their track. Berkeley has demanded a guarantee in such an event, for the gate receipts at Stanford would be small compared to those in San Francisco or even in Berkeley. “It would be financial sulcide to hold the games at Btanfor sald Manager Decoto this evening, “vet they seem de- termined to force us to go there. It seems to be the sentiment of the students here that we have no fleld day rather than to go to Stanford. The track at Stanford is not as good as that at Berkeley or in San Francisco. The gate receipts would be nothing compared with those at either of the other places and I have refused to 0 to Stanford unless !hei give us a guarantee. This they have refused and so there will be no games unless they meet us in a spirit of reasonable conces- sfon. We have had an offer from the Pomona College and may accept that if Stanford continues to refuse and we will not go to Stanford as matters now stand.” DANCED IN THE POST CLUBHOUSE Reception to Mrs. R. F. Gardener at the Presidio. The young wife of Lieutenant Rogers F. Gardener of Light Battery C, Third Artil- | lery, was given a reception by the young | bachelor officers of the Presidio last even- ing. The affalr was made the occasion | of her formal introduction into the social circles of the post. Lieutenant and Mrs. Gardener returned from their honeymoon | & week ago, and it was intended that two weeks should elapse before the reception to the young couple, but there are many affairs, both social and in the line of duty, just now, and so the time was set for last | evening. The telephone an dthe orderlies | were called into service and the affair | was given at once. The bachelor officers in charge of the reception were: Lieutenant John C. Ray- mond, Lieutenant Wallace B. Scales, Lieu- tenant Willlam Forse and Lieutenant iph P. Brower.

To-day R. J. Johnson began sult against E. H. Wem- | ple, the treasurer and head of the com- | pany, to recover a promissory note for P00l which e alleges the defendant had fraudulently obtained. The complainant recites that on August 10, 1868, he pur- chased 4000 shares of the Golden Crown mining stock from Wemple, giving a $4000 | promissory note in payment therefor. The | note was secured by a beneflciary interest |in thirty acres of improved land in the | Maywood colony, Tehama County, valued at .

As a further balt to Investors it said “one dollar invested now may be worth one hundred in a year.” In December last Johson learned that his stock was worthless and he accused Wemple of having cheated him. The complaint recites that Wemple admitted the mine was worthless and said com- pany had ceased work on the claims. Johnson asks for the return of his 34000 promissory note and that the transac- tion be set aside on the Tround of fraud. The suit flled to-day is probably the forerunner of dozens of others. During the last three years the Golden Crown Mining Comp‘n{ did a thriving busi- iness. The work! classes bought heav- fly of the stock. It is sald that at least $100,000 went into the treasury of the company from residents of this city. The mige was advertised all over the East, and considerable money was received from people there. The fact that Wem- ple, who is & large grocer, was at the head of it added respectability to the concern and caused many people to in~ vest. There are an unusually large num- ber of victims among the teachers In tha School Department. Until _ recently Wfilnsle was chalrman of the City Board of Education, and in hopes of currying favor with him many of the lady teach- ers put all their salary into the mining scheme. _— SLIGHT RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT TRACY STOCKTON, Feb, 20.—There was a bloodless railroad accident at Tracy about § o'clock this morning.
