The Plymouth Consolidated mines in Amador County, which have ‘been trans- ferred to Alvinza Hayward and the Ho- bart estate, were largely owned Hay- ward and W. §. Hobart for many years. The transfer was brought about by the | failure of the company to meet its pay. ments. The mines produced an average of £50.000 per month for five years. A fire | cavsed a shutdown after the mines had been worked to the depth of 1700 feet. The Sonora Union-Democrat reports that Frank Plummer and partner uncov- ered a $19% gold pocket in the Telephone mine recently located by:them. The strike was made near the surface. An- other rich strike has been made in the Sugarman pocket mine on Bald Moun- tain. The extent of the strike is not known. but it will go into the thousands.

The situation was thoroughly dis- | cussed, and the rules and regulations gov- | erning the situation carefvlly gone cver. | A telegram was read from the executive officers in the stating that the local unions would have the moral and financial | support of their brethren throughout the | East. This was offset in a measure by the fact that the Brewers' Protective As- | sociation Fad_invited the general secreta- | ries of the Natlonal Union of Brewery | Workmen to come to this coast and en- | deavor to settle matters. It was decided ! to refer the whole question to the various unions throughout the State, with a view of taking a referendum vote. It will take under the circumstances nearly two | weeks to reach a result. Secretary Berg says that all the men will continue at work until the matter is thus settled. The following officers were _installed: | President, Aug Czichard: vice president, | John Rick: secretary, Ludwig Berg; finan- clal eecretary, Horace Speck; treasurer, Philip Brawn. | —_—e———————— Want Tannery Condemned. ¥F.

Nefll | rays the most objectionable nuisance is | “tank” tanning., which consists of put- | ting the hides in tanks, where they are left ten deys. Neill also claims that the boiler used in the tannery is dangerous to life and property, and that the concern runs up to 11 o'clock at night and almost every Sunday. —_————— Captain Nielsen Charged With Fraud.

Philip chaplain of the regiment, said grace. The bo; listened with bowed heads and hats over their hearts. When this little ceremony was concluded they sat down and fell to with vigor. The first meal of the regiment in camp was hugely enjoyed. After supper the cadets removed the stains of travel and dust from their clothes and then went uptown on an all- conquering expedition. As usual brass buttons and glittering cross cannons cap- tured the fair ones. Some of the boys forgot to return to camp before taps, and when they did come in it was on the run, with the guard hot on their heels, Before midnight the guardhouse was filled to overflowing. These lprits will be compelled to tidy up camp to-morrow morning. Those who escaped the guard after taps are proudly boasting of their cleverness.

Notes of the Camp. The members of the advance guard have many Interesting stories to tell their frien During their short stay in Napa they have made innumerable friends and have been ac- corded the best treatment by the residents. Last night the Native Daughters of Napa in- vited a number of cadets to be their guests at an informal social held in their lodgeroom. There were refreshments, music and dancing and the boys had a merry time. Among the cadets fortunate to be included in the invita- tion were: Lieutenant J. Meagher, Serscants G. Thompson and E. Olson, Corporals Andy Burke, J. Thilgen, B. Burns and Privates M. Kent, D. Broderick, H. McEnhill, J. Flynn, J. Riley, F. Cresalia and W. Harriman.

While it appears by the terms of the will that his nine-year-old daughter by & former marriage is to receive the bulk of the property, the fact remalns that bz reason of the value of the property whicl was deeded to Mrs. Tevis shortly after the marriage the estate is almost equally dlyided. Mrs, Tevis is named In the wiil as guardian for her stepdaughter and is to recefve the little girl's share of the estate in case of her death, The property willed to Alice Boalt Tevis, the daughter, is left in trust with Mercantle Trust Company, which will f 21, > 8.

Takes Possession the march was begun along the crowded street, which ceased its crowding for a moment to watch the boys go past. There were fifteen companies in line, 350 boys all told, and they reached the ferry building in ample time to take the 3 o’clock boat for the Oakland mole, where they board- ed a train for Napa. At Oakland they were joined by two more companies, of seventy-five men, so that®there will be more than 400 cadets in camp when they reach their destination. There was a large crowd of friends and relatives at £ 23 = e again, but was =oon disturbed by a cow, which rubbed its sides against the tent. Lieutenart Beasley was dreaming about tents and tent-pegs after midnight when he was rudely awakened by his tent collapsing on him. He rushed out in negligee costume to upbraid the night hawl but all were safely hidden. Beasley delivered a lecture, but his remarks were interrupted by shouts of derision. He then returned to his couch. *‘Bugs’’ Broderick came to camp with a bud- ding mustache and was the envy of the crowd. Last night, while “Bugs’” was sleeping, a half- Gozen of the jealous ones dropped into his tent and clipped off the hirsute appendage. This afternoon, while ‘‘Bugs’” was visiting friends, the advance guard held a mock funeral, using the mustache for corpse. As none of the halr was saved a plece of Jack Hennos' dog's tail was used. This was placed In a small frult box. A cross was prepared to mark the spot where the mustache was interred and the boys formed for the solemn ceremonies. Three drummers led the way, followed by two buglers. Then came the honorary pall-bearers, carrying a cross on which was printed in green letters, ‘‘Sacred to the Memory of Bugs' Mastache.”” Following in their wake were the bearers of the priceless bunch of hair neatly tied with a piece of hay-rope. The fun- eral cortege wound its way through camp and then out to the parade ground, where the burial services were held. Bugler Cresalia, who is a clever mimic, imitated the chaplain of the regi- ment and delivered a soul-stirring oration, The “corvse’’ was lowered Into its abiding place, taps was blown, drums were muffled, the cross was placed in position and the cadets returned from their task to the tune of a quickstep. It 1s understood that the remains will be resurrected to-morrow and additional ceremontes are planned. Reilly donned his Chinesa costume last night and proceeded uptown with other boon com- panions. He startled the natives and afforded much amusement. DEPARTURE OF THE CADETS. Market-Street Crowds Review the Passing Companies. Led by Lieutenant Colonel McGloin, the League of the Cross Cadets marched down Market street yesterday afternoon with drums beating and banners fioating gayly in the west wind. The boys were off to the summer camp in the Napa Val- ley, and each felt himself every Inch a soldier as the martal music made his tlood go bounding to his head. He looked every inch a soldier, too. The boys of the several companies made, in fact, & most martial appearance in their dark blue uni- forms with red trimmings, thelr cam- paign hats and leggings, and with their rolis of blankets about their shoulders. The companies began assembling at the Market-street armory early in the after- noon, and for un hour or two the place was full of the bustle of preparation for the march. At 2:30 tha order was given to fall in, and the companies began to find their places. In ten minutes more, headed by the League of the Cross band, TRAINS IN COLLISION AND ONE MAN XILLED KANSAS CITY, July 13.—South-bound rassenger train No, 1 on the Kansas City Northern Rallroad, due at 5:30 p. m., col- llded with an_extra Rock Island meat train at the Rock Isiand crossing, one mile north of Weatherby, Mo., at 8:15 this afternoon, killing one man and injuring The dead man is Blijah thres > % ously injured are: W, J.

JTRIKER TRIES 10 KILL JUDGE Attempts to Fire Upon Police Magistrate in Vancouver. Intended Victim's Agility Saves His Life and the Culprit Escapes. e VANCOUVER, B. C., July 13—Police | Judge Josepn Russell narrowly escaped | death just after, a session of the Police | Court at noon to-day. He was assailed by Michael Sullivan, a member of the | strikers’ committee of the fshermen. Sullivan made his escape after the attack. Judge Russell was standing on Powell street, in front of the police station, talk= ing with a friend, when suddenly a man | rushed up and demanded why the Magis- | trate had been out last night in.one of the police patrol boats. The Judge is a cannery manager and the feeling against him and other members-of the Canners’ Assoclation has mounted to a high pitch. The Magistrate replied that it was no business of any one but himself. ““We]l, 1 had the drop on you last night | and I am sorry I did not fill you full of | lead,” said Sullivan. “You ought to be under lock and key,” | replied the Magistrate. ‘With an oath the man drew a revolver from his hip pocket. Judge Russell, who is an athlete, sprang at him before he could pull the trigger. Sullivan got away | and fled down the street, with the Justice | at his heels. All of the policemen who happened to be around the station joined in the chase. Suillivan led them up Water street, ran through the lengtu of two ho- tels, down an alley and into two business streets. Then he dashed into the side | entrance of a saloon and was lost to | view. A patrol of police surrounded the | block, but although the search was kept up for two hours the man got away. It was learned afterward that he stood in a closet while his pursuers passed four | feet away, and then quietly walked back into the street. HOTEL ARRIVALS. PALACE HOTEL.

JUDGE GELLERS TAKES MORPHINE Suicide of a Man Who Had Been Prominent in Politics. Leaves a Pathetic Letter Say~ ing His Life Had Been a Failure. Sed CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.,, July 18— Judge James M. Sellers, one of the bright- est and best known attorneys in Indiana and a prominent figure in legal and po= litical circles, was found dying in his of this mornin; He had he died before he could be removed from e building. Judge Sellers succumbed to the deadly drug while engaged in writing a letter explaining his reasons for taking his own life. The letter reads as followst To whom it may concern—With me life haas been a total fatlure. It mizht have been en- tirely different. There has been 0o one to blame for this difference save myself alone, I have been the poorest kind of a financier for every one and especially for myself, I am preparing to leave the world, badly in debt to it. I have as is usually the case Wifh a_ wortbless husband been blessed with the bravest, purest, truest and most patient wife ever given to a man. I have abused the best set of friends evew possessed by one man. I feel that I am & dead welght, entirely too heavy for the worthy willing members of my family to v; indeed, they will be better off without than with me. Feeling so why should I live to be an emore mous dead weight for others to carry? I kave chosen the morphine route as the cheapest and most certain. Let no one try to pay my debts. They are paid by this act of mine. If I could I would suggest a few I would rather see pald than others. I freely forgive those who have wronged me. Hoping this explanation ex- plains, I now, feeling tired and sleepy, sub= scribe’ myself.
