SANTA CLARA, Dec. 16.—Santa Clara was thrown into excitement this after- noon by the removal from office of Post- master A. A. Withrow by United States Inspector McCardly of San Francisco. An examination by that official into the af- fairs of the office to-day disclosed a num- Ber of irregularities and he at once noti- fied Withrow’s bondsmen—H. A. Alder- man, George Norwood, George Roth, Al- bert Harris, A. R. Woodhams, Captain Morrison and Charles Jackson. They held a meeting immediately and withdrew from Withrow's bonds. It is not believed there is a defalcation, but the exact cause of removal has not yet been made 'public. Miss Lillie Bill- ings, deputy postmaster, was placed in charge of the office by the inspector and the former sureties of Withrow went on her bond. Withrow said to-night that he placed his resignation in the hands of the in- spector because of his age. Being up- ward of 70, the duties of the office were more than he could attend to. His term of office would have expired next April. ‘Withrow is one of the most prominent citizens of Santa Clara. He has been a resident of the town for a half century. In the civil war he was a member of the famous “California Hundred APPEAL TO CONGRESS FOR GRACIOUS SUPPORT Lewis and Clark Exposition Commis- sioners Ask for Aid for Port- land Celebration.

She was in- dicted by the Grand Jury for this district of the United States District Court. There was no intent on Miss Fuquay’'s part to steal any of the contents of the letters. She was simply prompted by curiosity to know what the boys in the town of Potrero were writing to their sweethearts and what the sweethearts were writing to the boys. Sarah was acquainted with the contents of every letter that passed through the Potrero postoffice and was Intelligently in- formed as to all engagements, lovers’ quarrels and proposed social. functions.

Fresno Witnesses Testify in the Trial of James W, Brown. Special Dispatch to The Call. ALTURAS, Dec. 16—For the seventh time since the lynching of the Halls, Mar- tin and Yantis in Lookout last May the grand jury of Modoc County is in session. Deputy Attorney General Post was before the jury during the foremoon, and it is sald that several additional indictments against alleged lynchers will be returned. Rumor has it that Justice of the Peace Myers who, according to one witness, was seen testing rope In a Lookout store and making hangman’s loops in it, is among those slated for indictment. Owing to Post being engaged in this direction thers Wwas no session of the Superior Court this forenoon. In the afternoon the defense had an inning, being permitted to call five witnesses from Fresno, who were sub- penaed to testify to the good character of the defendant, James W. Brown. Each regarded Brown as a man remarkable for his lofty integrity and respect for the law. Frank Burley sald that he met Brown in Fresno in 13%. Brown was then work- ing in Fresno and was well known there. His general reputation was excellent and the people in that community said of him that he was an upright, honest man. He had never heard of Brown being quarrel- some or in trouble and had always heard him spoken of as a good citizen. An objection to evidence regarding the defendant’s characcer since the lynching was_sustained and during the argument by Raker, for the defense, the jury was sent from the courtroom. W. H. Holm said that he had known Brown continuously from 133 to 1383 Brown's reputation for homesty and in- tegrity was good. When the witness first knew Brown he brought a horse to Fresno to sell and afterward he conducted a butcher shop. Every time the defendant was spoken of in Fresno it was in the highest terms as to his reputation. . A. Brown knew the defendant from 1886 to 1393. He said that Brown was in business with him for a time. Brown's reputation was good. Al Steven, a broth- er of C. A. Steven, sald that he had known the defendant and that his reputation was of the best. T. W. Chapman gave similar testimony. Four other witnesses at Grants Pass have been subpenaed and will probably be here in a day or two. INVESTIGATING ATTEMPT TO KILL ADOLPH SYLVA SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 16.—Sheriff Taylor went to Sausalito this afternoon to in- vestigate the attempted blowing up of Adolph Sylva’s house on Friday night. The small pleces of metal found near the place where the explosion occurred have been identified as the fragments of an electric battery. Small pieces of paper and gunnysack were also found. It ap- pears that the battery and explosive were wrapped in paper and a sack at the time the bomb was fired. The affair is shrouded in mystery and as yet the officers have been unable to fasten the crime upon any one.
