The precipitation was but a sprinkle at first, and this was followed by heavier showers, 6 o'clock the downfall was steady and ith every indication of a copious wetting during the night. The rain has been badly needed for two weeks. The wheat on both the islands and uplands was in urgent need of moist- ure, and predictions of a general crop | failure have been frequent during the | week. The condition of the crops has had 2 depressing effect on business and live- lier conditions are looked for now that the threatened calamity has been averted. The value of the rain to San Joaquin at this time cannot be overestimated. Re- ports from different points in the county show that the rain was general and of even precipitation. -— Sonoma. SANTA ROSA, April 28.—A rainstorm which has been general over the county commenced this morning about 6 o'clock, and there has been a_continual downpour ever since. Up to 5:30 o'clock this even- ing 141 inches of rain had fallen since morning. Much more water has fallen in the northern part of the county than in the southern portion. The country needed rain badly, but this rain will assure a good hay yield as well as a large crop of other products. The general opinion through- out the county is that this rain has come just at the right tim Santa Cruz. SANTA CRUZ, April 28.—About 7 o’clock this morning there was a light shower of rain, the first during tne present month.

El j‘_ { | | | | { HE GEYSERS, April 28—As the scene of a tragedy immortalized in a romantic legend handed down from generation to generation by the aboriginal dwellers of these mountains, Lovers' Leap, a rock jutting out over a deep pool at the entrance to Devils Canyon, has for years been an ob- ject of interest to tourists. Now the name of the great rock has been changed to Gallagher's Plunge, and hereafter a genial San Franciscan will share the fame of the dusky Lothario and his sweetheart, who | leaped to their death into the waters of the pool rather than be separated in this life.” Back of ihe change in name there 1§ a story that nas its element of pain and | pathos, though those who tell it are dis- posed to chuckle irreverently over the misfortune of their fellow-man. William J. Gallagher is a coal merchant of the Bay City, who, when in_training makes the scales groan under 275 pounds avordupois and good nature. For sev- eral weeks “Billy” has been one of a fish- ing party that has been making some fab- ulous catches in the mountain streams Kereabouts. During one of the piscatorial excursions a couple of s ago the Hayes-street Mark Hanna lacked the luck of his compaxions and was subjected to much good-natured chaffing as the party was returhing to the Geysers Hotel, his basket almost empty and theirs bulging with trout. Finally tiring of their taunts, “Billy” strolled on ahead of the others un- til, reaching the bridge that spans the | creek _at the entrance to the canyon, he | halted to rest and await their coming. | Hooks the Salmon. | | Casting his line idly into the water, he | suddenly felt a tug that almost vanked him off the bridge.

SEATTLE, April 2.—Frank Oleson, cashier of the defunct Scandinavian- American Bank of Whatcom, Wash., was arrested in this city to-day by Sheriff Cudihee on a warrant charging him with | recetving deposits when he knew that the | bank was insolvent. J. S. Stangroom, | assistant cashier, was arrested in What- com last night. H. St. John Dix, the president of the institution, is sald to be in London trying to raise funds to help out the bank, but this has not prevented Receiver Robert Muir from swearing out | a warrant for his arresf on a charge sim- [ ‘ | | {ilar to that on which the cashier and as- sistant cashier have been taken into cus- | tody. Dix has proven himself a financier of the Napoleonic order. He appeared in Seattle two or three vears ago as an ad- vertising solicitor. Going to Whatcom he dld some work of a booming order, and then loomed upon the horizon as a full- | fledged bank president. He represented | himself as th= recipient of a good sum | of money from English sources. | “'That there was some basis for his claim, | even if it were exaggerated, seems to be | sustained by the dlscuveri of some costly oil paintings in New York City which he owns, or did own once upon a time. | Thesé paintings were supposed to be | worth in_the neighborhood of $25,000. One is a Murillo, and ought to bring $8000. The trouble in this connection comes from a report that the title is not clear. £ reports are true, Dix, by his astound- | ing cleverness, succéedec'in borrowing all | the deposits of the bank and a good slice | of its capital. The sum is estimated in round figures to be $25,000. The arrest of | Oleson and Stangroom is a great surprise. Oleson has always stood very high in Seattle, and people are inclined to believe 1!115 statement that he nas done nothing | criminal. Oleson says that he is loth to believe that Dix has done anything wrong. Receiver Muir, however, has been in | charge of the bank long enough to look well into the condition of affairs, and his opinion is that there is plenty of work | for the courts in straightening out the | tangle.

CHICO, April 28.—Rain began falling at 5 o’clock this mornning, continuing stead- { 1y throughout the day. TUp to 3 o'clock 1.67 inches had fallen. The downpour is a most welcome one, as all varieties of vegetation were much in need of rain, The storm is general throughout this sec- tion and the farmers and stock raisers are jubilant. Monterey. SALINAS, April 28.—There was a light rain this morning. The weather has been threatening all day, and there is every indication of a heavy downpour to- night. Rain is very much needed in this county.

He had made the biggest catch of the day. At once he decided to avenge himself by arousing the envy of his companions, who had been vaunting their superior prowess with rod and line. s were still some distance up the creek. So he hit upon the idea of climbing to the top of Lovers' Leap and from that elevation catching the fish over again in the view of the party. Laborijously the San Franciscan ascend- ed to the top of the rock. Then he let the fish down into the pool beneath and waited till his companions Suddenly he appeared to bet a and, standing at the edge of the rock, he enacted the pantomime of a man strug- gling to land a monster fish. Just as the others neared the bridge he gave a mighty throw and the steelhead leaped out of the water before their astonished eyes. THIES TO SEE THE PRESIDENT Supposed Crazy Man Is Arrested at the White House. WwASHINGTON, April 28—Harry Fink- elstein, a well-dressed man about 34 years old, who says his home is in Cleveland, is locked up at a police station here on insane. Finkelstein went to the vicimty of the White House this_morning and said he wanted to see the President on urgent business of a pri- vate nature. He became rather excited when refused admission and was then ar- rested. He has a number of letters of recom- mendation from well-known sporting men in San F) ancisco and Denver, recommend- ing him under the name of Harry Stone. This name he assumed, he says, because ot tamily troubles. Harry Corbett, the well-known sporting man, when shown the foregoing dispatch last night, sald: “Stone is very well known here under the nickname of ‘Meathouse.’ He was clerk for George Rose, the bookmaker, for several seasons. Finkelstein is his proper name, and he is from Butte, Mont. His foixs, I believe, are in business there. He has a wife here. She kept a lgglging-house on Powell street at one time.

SALT LAKE, April 28.—Harry Finkel- stein, or Harry Stone, as he was generally known, who was arrested in Washington to-day for creating a disturbance at the White House, is well known here, his mother being a resident of this city. As a result of an accident which occurred some years ago Finkelstein has at times been mentally irresponsible. hile T Ogden last year he became violently in- sane and attempted to kill two or three men.

SEATTLE, April 28.—Willlam Mitchell and P, J. Dineen, two Pacific Coast pio- neers, died in Seattle last night, pneu- monid being the cause of death in each case.

In exerting himself to land the fish Mr. Gallagher slipped and sat down so violently as to almost dislodge the rock. Bounding upward and outward, he shot down to the water, twenty-five feet below, striking with a' tremendous splash. The fisherman was somewhat stunned by his contact with the water and, had not | the rest of the party been near, it would have fared fll with him. They hastened to his assistance and aided him to emerge from the pool, spouting water like an ele- phant. He was given an arm on either side and escorted up to the hotel, the ascent being difficult because of the weight of his water-soaked apparel. After a warming-up draught or two “Billy”" was none the worse for his experience, barring a general soreness.

SAN JOSE, April 28.—The preparations being made at Santa Clara College for the production of “Nazareth,” the sacred drama written by Clay M. Greene, the well-known playwright, as a contribution to the golden jubilee of his Alma Mater, are extensive and complete and it is no exaggeration to state that in point of dig- nity, grandeur and pictorial accuracy no production yet seen in California will out- rival the efforts now being made by the Jesuit Fathers. At the college carpen- ters and painters have been at work on the staging of the play for several months and rehearsals have been going on under Mr. Greene for about the same time. When Mr. Greene was requested by Father Kenna to write a play for tne golden jubilee he suggested the life and passion of Our Lord, at the same time mentioning the Jarge expense that would be incurred in presenting such Tather Kenna, however. was strach s once by the majesty of the subject, - the promise of a splendid spectacle object lesson it would be. The cos’i‘::)df ptx'}t.‘)g duction will exceed $2500. The play will be presented for the first time on Friday evening, May 31. At first it was only the intention to present it once, but the unusual demand for seats has changed this and the play will be given a number of times. Those who have seen parts of the play declare it will rival the great passion play of Oberammergau. If it attracts the attention they predict it is the intention of the Fathers to present it periodicallv and thus attract the faith- ful of the United States to Santa Clara Valley to this passion play instead of | g:lex!r crossing the ocean to Oberammer- The stage effects are to b orate.

A bright moon illumines the sky for a few moments, sinks behind the hill, a pale blue light suffuses the stage and a hur- dred stars twinkle in the sky. The star of Bethlehem then appears above a tiny cottage in the far distance and shines with startling radiance, proclaiming to the world the birth of the Savior. This is only one of the pretty effects of the scenic artist and electrician in one of the ten scenes of the passion play. There are thirty or more characters in the cast and to add strength to it a num- ber of past students of the college have been given parts In the play. Among these are District Attorney J. 'H.

The disaster occurred April 12 earl in the morning and a number of houses at the base of the mountain were crushed and ground Into splinters by an immense mass of snow and ice. Many more v would have been lost had it not been for the fact that just previous to the slide the | people were aroused by several shocks of | earthquake, which were so severe that| many of the occupants of the destroyed | houses were prepared. When they heard | the roaring and rumbling of the avalanche | as it came crashing down the mountain | they fled for their lives and many reached | places of safety. Those who escaped the avalanche are practically destitute, hav- ing no food, clothing or shelter. JURY'S VERDICT FREES CALLAHAN Declares the Cuda.hy'i Kidnaping Suspect ; | | 1 | | | i 1 | Innocent. Fall T OMAHA, April 2.—James Callahan was declared not guilty to-day of complicity in | the kidnaping of Edward Cudahy Jr., the; verdict being reached shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. The Judge had evi- dently been expecting another verdict and was openly disappointed. | “It is impossible for me to understand,” he sald, “how ‘welve intelligent men could have agreed upon such a verdict after listening to the testimony. The defendant | could not have chosen more wisely if he had been selecting his own representatives and the community could not have made a more unsatisfactory selection. This jury | is discharged without the Cumpllmen(s: of the court Callahan’s attorneys were not present, and the defendant expressed a desire to thank the jurors in his own behalf. This| the court refused to permit. He said the jury did not deserve any thanks. Two other counts still hang against Cal- | lahan. He was at once rearrested under these. There is doubt, however, whether | the State will be able to bring the cases | to trial. | Chief of Police Donahue announces that the $30,000 offered for the apprehension of | Patrick Crowe will be withdrawn. He says it Is one thing to arrest the culprit and | another to convict him. The reward of $50,000 offered jointly by both the city and Edward Cudahy, however, will remain in force. | ~ As far as could be ascertained there was | at no time serious difference in the opin- jons as to Callahan’s innocence among the | jury. Three were inclined to favor a ver- | dict of gulity, but were soon convinced by | their colleagues that a reasonable doubt | existed. | General Cowin, leading the prosecution, says that Callahan probably will be re- leased in the morning. The other charges against him—grand larceny and false im- prisonment—are _ virtually synonymous. The State would be obliged to depend up- | on the same evidence as that which has already been brought out and there is doubt in any event whether Callahan could be tried again on a charge so close- 1y akin to that on which he has been de- clared innocent. County Attorney Shields will be guided by this view and Callahan’s liberty is practically assured. o DETECTIVES FIND NEW CLEWS. Progress of the McCormick Kidnap- ing Investigation. ‘WASHINGTON, April —The detect- ives engaged in working ‘on the Willle McCormick kidnapping case continued their investigations to-day. Several feat- | ures have developed which are regarded as possibly significant. In addition to the slip of paper bearing the name “Ger- trude,” the detectives belleve they have another article which will emphasize the chance of the original clew. A pen which was given to Photographer Kenthy on Friday, a week ago, by one of the gypsy girls under arrest at that time, and | Which she says was wrapped in the paper when she found it in the horse bazaar, | was turned over to the police to-night, who sent it with t'!i:e slip of paper con- ame ““Tony.”" g e Teaton Chief Detective Titus telegraphed an order to send the slip of paper back. It is suggested that he may have done this to let the teacher who in- | have a chance to identify the writing | which the little girl herself already has identified. A tracing was made of the | wrmnf when it pher Kenthy, on the slip of paper in New York | was sent there first by Photogra- | and it is said that Gertrude’s Neacher almost positively identified the | figures on the reverse side as a portion | o?a_n url(hmeflckexamp!o which she gave | the child to work. 1t was reported to-night that another significant incident was sald to have been Unearthed by the detectives which may | to the effect that late Friday night, while the two gypsy girls were at the House of Detention, an uncle of theirs went to | legraph office and sent a long dis-| %m‘fn“m ome point in New Jersey.

News of the disaster reached Valdes by a mail carrier wha left Sunrise City short- 1y after the occurrence and reached Val- Ges just before the mail steamer sailed from that place for Juneau. The names of the victims had not been learned. Rescu- ing parties from the main portion of the town were at work when the mall carrier teft, but were making little or no progress, as the ground on which the bulldings stood was covered with from twenty to sixty feet of snow, ice, rocks and timbers which came down with the siide. It will be some days before the exact number and names of the dead can be ascertained, as the occupants of the houses were con- stantly going to or coming from some re- ported strike.
