Hopkins had been living at Mosquito Lake for about a vear developing some mining properties which he had in that portion of the desert. He was acquainted with every foot of ground about there, =0 those who saw him start for the desert thought nothing of the fact and believed he knew exactly whither he intended to go and what he intended to It was on the afternoon of the 15th of last month that he left his home and went to what is known as Red Cloud Camp for a bucket of water.

He was seen going in that direction, but | little was thought of the fact until the ! next day, when the water pail was still hanging where he had placed it. A search was instituted. The man was | tracked as far as the imprint of his heavy shoes could be followed in the soft earth, but where the ground was harder the trail was lost. It is belleved that he walked farther than he intended and when night | came on he became bewildered. Possibly insanity, which is freqent with those who are lost on the desert, came to complete | his confusion. vas found miles away from where ins was last seen.

SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 5.—Judge Smith, in is decision in the case of the people | against B. B. Parker, accused of violat- ing the liquor ordinance, to-day passed | upon a point never before raised in this State. The defendant claimed that the rdinance contained a proviso which made | it unconstitutional, inasmuch as it con- ferred on citizens the right to revoke per- mits for a license by petition of a major- ity of voters; also that it was special legislation, for the reason that all parts of the county were not treated alike. Judge Smith, in declaring the ordinance valid and constitutional, held that under the statutes of 1897, the Supervisors had the right to adopt an ordinance licensing the =ale of liquor. and to provide the man- ner in which licenses should be granted or revoked.
