Kidder, president as well as | principal owner and manager of the Ne- | vada a clvil engineer by profession. He was born in New York City in 1830 and moved | with_his parents to Syracuse in 1840. In 11861 he went to the State of Nevada in the Government service and in 1863 was appointed by the California State govern- ment to survey the boundary line between California and Nevada. During the fol- lowing year he moved to El Dorado Coun- ty, where he remained three years. Dur- ing 1865-66 he represented El Dorado Coun- ty In the Assembly. He became engaged in rallroading and resided in Sacramento and the State of Nevada until 1868, when he went to Oregon to continue in the same business. He went to Washington Territory in 1871 and two years later re- turned to California, living in Solano and Monterey counties until 1875, when he came to Grass Valley. While Mr. Kidder had been actively en- gaged in engineering since 1849, he found time to serve the State in many public offices. When he was elected in 1865 from El Dorado County as Assemblyman he proved to be a public spirited and active member of the lower house of the Legis- lature, particularly championing the con- stitutional amendment prohibiting slav- ery, and he served with such noted men as Hearst, Hancock and Johnson. Gover- nor Waterman appointed him Yosemite Valley Commissioner, and he did all he could to improve the roads leading into the valley. He continued to serve on this commission until appointed by Governor Markham as Debris Commissioner, which important position he held up to the time of his death. The passing of John F. Kidder is not only a loss to the State of California, with whose early history he was identified, but a loss irreparable to Nevada County and more especially Grass Valley, with whose every advancement he has been connected. It was John F. Kidder's energy, pluek and enterprise that built the first narrow gauge railroad in this State; that erected the first modern dwelling and laid the first concrete sidewalk in Grass Valley.

B. Lenau, a Swede of gigantic stature, held at the County Jail for petty larceny, dled yes- terday morning in his cell as the resuit of injuries sustained while in an apopleptic fit and from a beating received at the hands of fellow prisoners. For twenty- four hours before his death Lenau suf- fered from an attack closely resembling delirjum tremens, but received no treat- ment other than a dose of some quieting medicine given by the jailer. His out- cries were at first thought to be caused, not by iliness, but by ill-temper, and as a result of that belief the man was ter- ribly beaten by two other prisoners, sent by the night jafler to subdue him. His body, as it lies in the Morgue, is a hor- rible sight, the face being cut, discolored by bruises and swollen, while the nose is roken. Lenau was arrested last Saturday on a charge of petty larceny and was tried on Monaay and committed to the County Jail for thirty days. At that time he seem rational and made no trouble for the ja ers. After he had been assigned to a cell in the tanks, however, he pecame wild, asking for liquor from every one in the compartment. On Monday evening he became much ex- cited and searched in many of the cells for whisky, his fellow prisoners telling hum jokingly that it was to be found on some of the men. While so engaged he was kicked and struck by a pris- oner, who resented his _interference. After the cells had been closed for the night Lenau began to call for whisky, his cries arousing the other men, who began to yell with him, finally creating a commotion that attracted the attention of the night jailer. He told Lenau to dress and come out, intending to put him into a separate cell. The man gave a profane refusal, and the jailer called on Fred S. Potter, a short-term man, and C. Lundy, also serving' a_ jail sentence, whom he released from their cell and told to bring the Swede into the corridor. As they entered Lenau's cell he rushed at them and a struggle ensued. Lundy hit Lenau a blow that broke his nose and caused the blood to flow freely and a general mix-up followed. Potter and Lundy were onty slightly marked, but Le- nau was terribly beaten. Both of his eyes were closed, his nose was swollen, and his lips were caked.with blood. He was finally subdued and placed in the hospital ward, with a_straitijacket to aid in controlling him. Later in the day he was removed to the dark cell, where he was less conspicuous, and, after shrieking all day, he quieted down to- ward evening. Early yesterday morning the night jaller heard him groaning, and, looking in, found him in a fit. As the jailer watched, the man spun about and fell, striking his head against the cement roor. He lived only a few minutes after the fail. Coroner Hoye examined the body and discovered that the neck was dislocated. He ordered the remains removed to the Morgue. When the body was placed in the receiving casket it clearly showed the immense size of the man, as’his head and feet touched the ends of the box. Coroner Hoye investigated the circum- stances surrounding Lenau’s death last evening and decided that death was due to the fall and the beating administered in trying to subdue him. The under- takers have received a message from a brother, C. Lenau, in Dakota, telling them to give the body decent interment in some local cemetery. @ ASSASSIN'S PLAN WIDELY KNOWA Evidence That the Murder of Goebel Was Carefully Arranged. —_— FRANKFORT, Ky., April 10.—Ex-Gov- ernor W. O. Bradley, who was chief coun- sel for ex-Governor W. S. Taylor in the gubernatorial contest before the Legisla- ture last year, gave sensational testimony this afternoon in the trial of Captain Gar- nett D. Ripley, who is charged with con- spiracy, with others. to bring about the murder of William E. Goebel. Mr. Bradley detailed a conversation which he said he had with Captain Ripley while the latter was in charge of his mil- itary company during the occupancy of the State Capitol by the Taylor troops last spring, in which Ririey told him of fre- quent conferences with Governor Taylor prior to the assassination. The witness said that Ripley toll him he was in the executive office the day before the shoot- ing and complained to Taylor because he had not called out his (Ripley’s) company and asked him when he should have the company ready. Taylor replied, according to Bradley: . “My God! Haven't you brought them yet? Goebel will not live twenty-four hours,” or ‘cannot live twenty-four hours. Judge 'W. E. Yost, associate counsel with Bradley in the contest case, ac- cording to the witness, was present and heard the conversation. In response to a auestion_as to whether he (the witness) heard cf any conspiracy to kill Goebe!, the witness stated that on January 25, the day the trainload of mcuntaineers ar- rived, some one, he could not recall who, told him that parties in the crowd were waiting in front of the State House to kill Goebel. bl b topped.

He said: “‘Goebel is not going to be hurt.’ Cut- ton told me it was 2 fake and that there was nothing in it; they condemned violence as I did. “Why d{g you se"gald for Culton, Finley er men? A reuse T thought they knew the mountain men.” The witness was turned over to the de- fense. The defense asked the witness if he knew anything of any connection of Ripley and these occurrences. Governor Bradiey said Ripley had none so far as he knew. Asked if Ripley's company had not been disbanded at this time, the wit- ness said he thought it was disbanded about that time '@ it @ ways found a warm supporter in Mr. Kid- der. He laid out, bought and filled in the Kidder tract in this city, built modern homes upon it and recently finished the construction of & new depot that is an ornament to the town. Every dollar he ever made Is invested in Nevada County property. He was public spirited, gener- ous and Mberal. Mr. Kiider was married In 1574 to Miss 8. A, Clark, a native of Ohio. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and a past exalted ruler of Grass Valley Lodge of Elks. Until within the past two or three years he took an active interest as a Republican In bpolitics and was for a time a member of the State and County Central committees. He was a delegate to Minneapolis when Harrison recefved the Republican nomination for President and_east the only vote at that convention for William McKinley. The Kidder home is the finest and most costly in Nevada County. Mr. Kidder was a patron of art and literature, own- ing a large library and a fine coliection of paintings. Among the latter are por- traits of his ancestors, who settled in America before the Revolution. P / continued the witness, “it!

In the afternoon a ‘“private view” was permitted to guests of the ladies of the California Club. On all hands it was agreed that the Cal- ifornia Club has much exceeded its effort in this direction of two years ago. The art gallery of the pavilion has been turned into an admirably arranged ex- hibition room, simply and gracefully dec- orated with evergreens and the varied things of beauty that are on show. The most remarkable feature of the exhibition is the excellent collection of pictures that have been gathercd. These, mostly very well hung, occupy the entire space at the farther end of the gallery, and in the 181 specimens exhibited will be found the names of most of the prom- inent artists of California. Keith is well represented with a trio of fine landscapes; Mrs. Mary Curtis Richardson has a beau- tifully toned child portrait; two of the late R. D. Yelland’'s landscapes are to be seen, and Emilia Kalisher, Lucla K. Matthews, Harry Fonda, Grace Hudson, Theodore Wores, Harrlet Foster Beecher, Alice B. Chittenden, Boardman M. Robin- gon, G. F. P. Plazzoni, Louise Schwamm, Bertha Stringer Lee, Eugene Cadenasso, C. Chapel Judson, L. P. Latimer and J. T. Martinez are all weil represented in the exhibition, which is well worth a visit for its picture gallery alone. The department of black and white is perhaps not so large as at the first show, but exhibits by the Bulletin, Examiner, Evening Post and Chronicle art depart- ments receive much favorable attention; and Nellie Stearns Goodloe, Bert A.

LOS ANGELES, April 10—Mrs. J. G. Taylor, a cripple, who lives with the fam- fly of her brother-in-law, W. F. Shelley, at 1111 Alvarado street, was assaulted early last evening by a footpad near the corner of Alvarado and Twelfth streets and severely beaten about the head with a sandbag. But for the fact that her head was somewhat protected by a large hat Bex fuincien would probably have been se- lous. Mrs Taylor screamed and ran toward Dr. Cross’ pharmacy. Dr. Cross heard her and ran to her assistance, whereupon the footpad made his escape. The motive for the assault can only be conjecivrod but the nolice are inclined to believe thaf it yas other than robbery. Dassonville, Laura M.

He spoke of the place attained by art in California, of its gradual rise and of the influences which had directed it and lent to it a character almost peculiar to itself. He looked forward to the time when Cali- fornia should have a salon of its own | and when Californian artists, untram- meled by the prejudice which favors the | forelgn for the sake of its distance or age, will compete with the world In all | the fields of art. California Art Resources. Miss Katherine Ball, representing tne | art section of the club, spoke of the op- | portunities for the development of art in ! California and of the teaching of it in the public schools. She told of the im- proved methods adopted for the clas: | | Sorrows here in our own city. It will come from the groves and forests, where the giants reach to the skies and where men may dream their hours and days and years listening to the music of the overhanging boughs above. It will come from the slopes of our hills, brilllant with the gorgeous poppy or when they have been changed to fields of wavinz gold, or from the blue depths of the seas, or from where the rocks rear their rugged eides in luge crag and cliff and dome in the garden of Yosemite; or it will come from that beauty and womanly grace that blossom only under our own sun. “These are the resources which Cali- fornia offers to art—resources which man has not created and which man may not destroy. In the Louvre, the Vatican, man may destroy, but those gems that California_offers, as long as the ocean beats upon her shore, as long as Shasta rears its proud crest to the clouds, as long as the cascades beat upon the rocks of Yosemite, these resources shall stand.” Songs by Mrs. Gustavus M. Arnold and Carl Yoho made up the remainder of the programme. | | ; | e | L m | | ." 3 o < m I m = - T o | Z is all important. 'r;:e daughter morrow.
