Judge Ellsworth’s decision was rendered in a ci specially designed to test the declsion Judges Troutt and Belcher, | declaring in | Reno or any other place outside the State within a year of divorce are illegal. Under the decision of Judges Troutt and Belcher it was held that-divorce in California did | not become absolute until a year after | the decree was handed down. Upon the point of time when absolute divorce be- | gan Judge Ellsworth differed from this | opinion in that he maintained that it en- | sued immediately after the decree was | handed down.

Discovers Gold in the Soil and Refuses to Sell It. —— TUnited States Attorney Woodworth filed a complaint in the United States Circuit Court yesterday in which the United States Is plaintiff and James O'Brilen of Smartsville the respondent, the-ebject of the suit being to enforce an option on land owned by the defendant. The complaint alleges that on October 22, 1900, O’'Brien agreed to sell to the United States for $2500 on or before the 224 of October, 1901, a certain piece of land beginning at Linda levee on the Yuba River. On July 29, 1901, O'Brien served a notice upon the representatives of the Government that he would withdraw his offer. The plaintiff demands judgment for possession of the property and for $1000 damage: The parties who made contracts with the Government on the same date and in the same document with O'Brien were Frederick Ayer and the Excelsior Water eorge es- He H. G. Hilton §10, Jacob Striker $500, Burns & Townsend $17:0, Big Ravine Mining $140, B. A. Forbes $600, Daniel Shay $2000, New fra Gravel Mining Com- pany §300, Byron Burns $300. Shortly after O'Brien gave the option, tor ), which was at the rate of $4 0 per acre, gold was discovered on the land, and John Hays Hammond and his associ- ates offered O'Brien $100 per acre for the same, but tle option stood in the way. O'Brien’s land and other lands embraced in the options mentioned above were de- sired by the California Debris Commis- sion as a site for a restraining dam to check the flow of slickens into the Feather and Sacramento rivers. The hydraulic miners were very anxious that the deal with the Government should be consummated so that they might be per- mitted to resume work in that vicinity. Strong representations on their behalf were made to the United States Attorney General, and he sent a telegram to United States District Attorney Woodworth .to institute proceedings against O'Brien to enforce the option so that the work of constructing the dams may begin at once. The suit was filed yesterday in obedi- ence to that Instruction. Mr. Woodworth is confident that the Government will win nd that in a very short time the work of constructing the dams will be under way, VAUDEVILLE BENEFIT FOR NURSES’ TRAINING SCHOOL High-Class Talent will Play for Good Cause Thursday Afternoon, Octo- ber 31, at Alhambra.

Several of these hold positions of exceptionai trust and respon- sibility. The undergraduates perform all the nursing duties and the ward house- keeping of the big hospital, and this,serv- ice, unknown before the days of the train- ing school, has created a most wholesome revolution in the methods at the hospital.
