At the examination Coons was first per- mitted to tell all about himself. events of his past life his memory was ciear enough. Judge Ogden and the ex- | amining physicians, Drs. J. L. Miton and Myra Knox, succeeded in drawing out the the present. His troubles scemed to have begun after he married his second wife, in 18%. He had trouble with her and claims that it led to his being put in the | insane- asylum at Utica, N. Y., where he { was then living. He came jo California | then and in 1583 was committed to Ukiah, having become afflicted with religious mania. He stayed there three months and has since been living in Oakland. But on the subject of evil spirits and little devils Coons demonstrate: is altogether crazy. He said that it is | within his power to distinguish devils in | children as soon as he see them and that | he can drive them away by pounding their | | bodies with his fists. | “That boy over there,” exclaimed Coons, | pointing to a child named Claude Altman, { whom_he is accused of having abused | “hasn’t got any devils in him because he is too small.

Direc- San Francisco Rates on Sugar. Decide to Fight to a Stand- still to Retain Their Trade. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.—Sugar will be cheaper in Los Angeles; a condition that confronts the Los Angeles jobbers has made this imperative. The reduction is @ result of the conflict that for weeks has been waged among San Francisco job- bers. In the northern city the sugar rate card was long ago smashed, the product being sold at less than refinery prices. So bitter did this struggle become that many San Francisco jobbers quoted prices that enabled the Los Angeles retailers to lay down sugar here at 20 cents per 100 below the rate that has ruled in Los An- geles. This caused a marked decrease in the sales by Los Angeles jobbers in the field that they claim is exclusively their own. Tiring of this and other influences that were undermining the home trade the Los -Angeles jobbers determined to fight the sugar question in Los Angeles to a standstill. From to-morrow morning, until further notice, the retailers of Los Angeles will be enabled to purchase gran- ulated sugar at $4 S0 a hundred and beet granulated sugar at $4 70 a hundred. | In commercial circles it was said that | a better rate than this would be granted, as any rate offered from San Francisco will be met if the entire bottom has to be dropped out of the sugar bucket. @ i e @ SKATING AR - CAUSE TRAGEDY Three Persons Are Killed During a Storm of | Sleet.

Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 2. In a train wreck this afternoon at 5 oclock, two miles east of Livermore, Horace Watson, a Southern Pacific train- master, was so severely injured that he may die and Conductor McHugh was seri- ously cut about the head and face. An engine tender and caboose were thrown from the itrack and overturned in the to Livermore, where physiclans attended them. been occugring to gravel trains that ar Pleasanton and Summit, east of Altamont, Besides his internal injuries, which are s0 serious, Watson suffered the fracture of several ribs. His home is at 917 Ade- line street in this city. A wrecking train was sent out from the West Oakland yards to clear the track and to replace the overturned rolling stock. Engineer 8. Harris Hobron, who re- sides at 946 Union street, in this city, was in ckarge of the wrecked locomotive. It is said that one cause for the wreck can be found in the weakening of track joints by the pounding of the heavy compound engines that are in service. The rails through that section of the country, where the wrecks have been frequent of late, are light, and are not adapted to the heavy rolling-stock, par- ticularly locomotives, that are run over them. The wreck this afternoon tied up all travel between Oakland and Stockton and all points over the Livermore run east of that town. —————— { COUNTERFEITERS BATR PARLWTTH PROPERTY OAKLAND, Jan. 29.—Ulysses G.

Metal - Bearing Deposit Is Many Square Miles in Extent. Eccarpments of Indian River Valley Are Found to Be Composed of ‘Great Masses of Conglomerates. Special Dispatch to The Call, VICTORIA, B. C. Jan. 2).—Reports from mining engineers and reliable miners of Dawson tell of the discovery of quartz | conglomerates on Indian River, twenty- eight miles from Dawson, the immensity and phenomenal wealth of which it is dif- ficult to grasp. Indian River and its trib- utary creeks were thoroughly prospected for placer geld in the early days of the Klondike rush. Recently the nature of the placer material on these creeks at- | tracted the attention of miners who had worked in the South African goid fieids and they were struck with its similarity to the rich ‘blanket” deposits of the Rand. They carried their investigations further, to the neighboring benches, and discovered that the escarpments of the Indian River Valley were composed of immense masses of conglomerates, iden- | tical in composition with those which have yielded so many millions of treasure in South Africa. A superficial prospect of deposits satisfied the miners that they were gold bearing, and subsequent exam- inations at various J)olnls revealed the fact that they carried from $100 to $200 in gold to the ton. The conglomerate deposit so far located is eight miles long and from one and a quarter to four miles wide. TIts thickness is unknown as vet, as no sinking has been done, but the fissuring of the mass shows 500 feet. This fissure traverses the con- glomerates from the northwest to south- east. other precipitous, and at the base of the precipice no indications of a change of structure are observable. There seems no doubt that the Indian River Valley was at one time 400 or 500 feet higher than at present and that its old channel has been depressed by erosion or by some sudden convulsion of nature to its present level Every portion of this immense mass of quartz conglomerate is gold bearing. Colors are found everywhere and free gold in specks and good sized nuggets are of frequent occurrence. San ¥ranciscans in New Field. SEATTLE, Jan. 20.—Unless the claims of some of the miners who are now in the country to secure locations are much exaggerated the coming spring promises to bring from Alaska news of a new | placer gold strike of considerable im- portance. The discovery of the Inoko gold fields was made by a party of pros- pectors who, on their way out from the skokwim a year ago, lost their way and wandered on to the Inoko, where they spent the remaining portion of the winter. In the spring they did a little prospecting, sufficient, according to the reports, to convince them that the ground was extraordinarily rich—after ~which they came on out of the country for a supply of provisions and equipment for working their newly discovered claims. News of the find reached Nome late this season and at least three parties left that place to g0 to the scene of the dix- covery. One of these consisted of four men, H, R. Henderson and R. H. Hen- derson of San Francisco and J. Cunning- ham and Charles McDow of this cit: According to their information the dis- coverers of the new diggings took out $7000 in dust and nuggets in a few days. One of the discoverers was a man anmed Terguson, who came from Oregon. The Zold was in dust and in gold-bearing cop- per quartz. The men claimed that, according to re- liable information, the new diggings were so rich that a man could easily take out upward of $15 a day. The Hendersons in- vested $1000 in their outfit and another party, outfitted by two saloon keepers at Nome, purchased the small steamer Los Angeles and started a party of sixteen men for the new discoveries. Gold Strike Near Redding. REDDING, Jan. 29.—Gold has been dis- covered on land upon which stood for years the buildings in which the poor and infirm of Shasta County were housed. The land is near the town of Shasta. The county hospital was recently moved from Shasta to a .point The eighty acres of land comprising the old site was considered almost worthless and was sold to four men for $600. Cor- oner Greene of this city was among the purchasers. The four men set about to develop a quartz claim on the property. At a depth of sixty feet a drift was started to cross- cut the lgige. After running twenty feot an ore body was tapped to-day. The rock is rich, in free gold, easily discernible to the naked eve. The pay shoot is three feet in width. although the ledge has an extreme width of fifteen feet. Conserva- tive miners estimate the value of the ore which glistens across the face of the pay hoot to average $300 a ton.

Governors and Orétou Praise i Work of the Late ) Executive. CANTON, Ohlo, Jan. 20.—The people of this city paid tribute to the late President McKinley in a memorial service at the Tabernacle to-night. It was participated in by persons in all walks of life to a number that taxed the big inclosure, where many of the same people had so often listened to the words of their old friend and neighbor. The chief orator of the meeting was ‘William Dudley Foulke of Indiana, a per- sonal friend of the late President, recent- ly selected by President Roosevelt for membership on the Civil Service Commis- sion. Following his eulogy of the late President, Foulke bespoke for President Roosevelt the sympatl? , the loyalty and the patriotic co-operation of all those who loved and honored the former President. Referring to anarchy and anarchists, he said no doubt laws would be enacted against them, but the real safety of our institutions, he said, lies in our unaltera- freedom. The routine of the public and parochial schools of Canton was suspended for ths day in favor of patriotic exercises in honor of the late President. NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Exercises in ob- ;ervta_ ce of the birthday of the late Presi- en schools to-day. Fl%gs were flown on ail ublic buildings, and several meetings set or to-day, including one of the Board of Aldermen, were adjourned as a mark of respect to the late President’s memory. CHICAGO, Jan. 2).—Chicagoans of all rank and stations hono! the na.nqe of Willlam MecKinley to-da¥—the anniver- sary of his birth. Flags throughout the city were at half-mast and memorial ser- vices were held in many churches, schools and Grand Army camps. All the city of- fices and the county courts were closed for the day. The services culminated in a meeting at Studebaker Hall to-night un- der the auspices of the Hamiltop Club, where Judge William R. Day of Ohlo was the principal speaker. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 29.—The pralses jof the late President McKinley were spoken by members of the Ohio Legisla. ture to-day in a flow of oratory which has not been equaled in years in the hall of the House of Representatives. Gov- ernor Nash and others spoke. The cham- ber was crowded by members of both branches of the Legislature, officers of the State and prominent citizens of Ohio. Governor Nash also addressed the stu- dents at the Ohio State University. DENVER, Jan. 20.—The Legislature to- day adopted rvesolutions containing a splendid tribute to the great serviees and pure life of the late President McKinley, dep)onn§ the manner of his death and ap- pealing to_all legislative bodies to stamp out anarchy.

The sailors further stated that there was no truth in the story published that Corpoeral Hayes had been shot in the trenches while de- serting, but that on the contrary he had been seized a little way out of Manila whilé walking with a native woman and had been rushed to the mountain camp, where he died of consumption in January, 1901. The War Department, Sime said, was appealed to and made an investiga- tion, which resulted in obtaining verifica- tion of the statement made by the saflors. The result of that inquiry has been trans- mitted to Thomas J. McCreagh of the Custom-house fn this city, who was an of- ficer of the First California and to whose command the corporal was attached. Thus the Government has done justice to a defamed man, though he was not high in the army. 4 e FURNISHED HOT-WATER BAGS TO HIS GUESTS colonei Fulton Berry of Fresno Gives Novel Souvenirs of a Car Through the courtesy of Henry M.

P PR SEATTLE, Jan 2).—After undergoing hardships and overcoming obstacles the members of the trans-Alaskan exploration and trall building party have succeeded in cutting their way through from the Yukon to Iiamna Lake and establishing a trail which, 1t is clafned, will mark a new era commereially so far as Nome and the con- tiguous region is concerned. In addition to establishing a horse trail, with road houses thirty miles apart, mak- ing a safe route in the depth of winter for travelers, mail and freight, the party ob- tained a good deal%f topographical infor- mation in regard to the country traversed, which will render necessary material al- terations in the maps with regard to the locations of rivers and lakes. A chain of mountains not given on the maps, with one peak said to rival Mount Rainier, was crossed by the party and its general fea- tures carefully neted. A shorter and lower range was discovered between the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. It was commonly believed that the arty the interior, as its arrival at Iliamna was expected two months ago.

Hence it i3 easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This i3 why catarrh in the head soon affects the throat and finally the stomach ftself, bringing on chronic catarrh of the stomach, which is 3 most obstinate form of dyspepsia. Everybody s now well agreed that catarch is 2 bload disease and not a local one, and the at- tempt to cure by local applications simply gives reliet fram the purely local symp. toms without the remotest effect in staying the progress of the disease.
