McConnville Says Bennett Told Him That They Were Married. FREEHOLD, N. J., Dec. 17.—The pros- ccution glesed its case against Laura Biggar, Dr. Charles C. Hendricks and Samugel Stanton, charged with conspiracy to get the estate of Henry M. Bepnett, somewhat abruptly to-day. It was gen- erally believed that the State had much additional evidence of an important char- acter. The first witness was A. V. D. Watter- son of Pittsburg, counsel for P. J. Me- Nulty, one of the executors of Bennett's estate and a beneficiary under the will. Watterson said Dr. Hendricks told him last June that he would either claim fo: Miss Biggar her share of the estate un- der the will or lay claim to the whola for Ler as the common law wife of Bennett, or put in a claim for services she had rendered him during the last years of his life. In July Dr. Hendricks was still un- decided. McNuity testified that he went to the Bayvonne Sanitarium at Miss Big- gar's request and met the doctor, who had not made up his mind what to claim for Miss Biggar. Henry Croft, clerk in a New York sta- ticnery store, testified yegarding the blank certificate signed by Stanton, former Jus- tice of the Peace, setting forth the al- | leged marriage of Miss Biggar and Ben- rett. Witness said certificates of the | kind said to have been used by Stanton were printed December 23, 1900. The date of the marriage certificate was January 2, 1898. Secretary Tucker of the Hoboken Bnard of Health testified that Stanton had asked him to enter the marriage on the records. Louis Pegasi of Hoboken, who owned the house in which Justice of the Peace Stanton lived in 1898, when the marrfage is alleged to have been performed, tes- | tified that at the time there was no “Jus- tice” sign on the house. This was in flat contradiction of some of the testimony glven at Long Branch last summer. J. W. McConnville, Miss Biggar's first husband, was the first witness for the de- fense. He testified that he met his for- mer wife and Bennett at Belmar in the summer of 190, when Bennett told him that he was mérried to her. Joseph Darrow testified that when Miss Biggar was playing in Bennett's theater in Pittsburg on New Year's eve, 1%, | Eennett told him that she was his wife.

Under the terms of the proposed con- trect the Secretary of War will ship as little or as much as he chooses by way of Seattle, and it is probable that a large amount of the trans-Pacific buginess will continve to be done through San Fran- cisco.- It is belleved, however, that thc proposed arrangement with the Seattlc company means the gradual abandonment of the Government transport business on the Pacific.

Property Is Situated in the Alamo District in Lower California. R S Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, 17.—Sensational as a miser’s dream ‘“‘come true” are thc reports and evidence of a gold strike which arrived in Los Angeles to-day from Lower California. In the old Viznaga mine, in the Alamo district, seventy-five miles from Ense- nada, in Lower California, there has just been opened a seven-foot ledge of ore which is reported to yleld more than $10,- 000 to the ton. Major H. M. Russell is the principal owner of the Viznaga and about & score of other mines in the immediate vicinity. News of the big strike was brought by the major's brother, F. E. Russell, who arrived from the mine to-day. As evi- dence of the fabulous richness of " the strike Russell brought up a brick of gold weighing 215 ounces and valued at $3655. He states that this entire amount was | taken from 600 pounds of ore from the new ledge. Besides the gold secured Rus- sell brought quite a large amount of ore, which was milled here and tested. It is reported to assay $10,75 to the ton. Free gold protrudes from the ore in large lumps, making its richness apparent to the untrained eye. ‘When first discovered the ledge awas four feet in width, but after going but a very short distance it widened out to seven feet, and it was from this point that the ore was found to be the richest. The Viznaga is one of the oldest mines in the Alamo district, having been about the first of a score opened there by Rus- sell and assoclates during the last fifteen years, However, the Viznaga has never been worked to any extent, as the com- pany has directed its energies on neigh- boring properties, which yielded better. The ledge just found lies at a depth of between eighty and 100 feet from the sur- face, The company has a five-stamp mill in the district. The best vielding mine of the company heretofore has been the Au- rora, which has been worked continuously almost fifteen years, and lately is sald to have yielded as high as $20,000 a month. FRIENDS IN MILWAUKEE LEARN OF THE TRAGEDY Hear of Murder of Richard Fails, Known in California as Rich- ard Little.

Falls killed a man in Milwaukee, but was pardoned. Richard Little, as he was known in San Francisco, where he had worked as bar- tender at the Del Monte, the Richelieu and the Commercial, was killed at Lake- port on November 17 by Walter Wilkin- son, also a bartender. Little was a son- in-law of Superior Judge Crump of Lake County, and an election feud is said to have been the cause of the trouble be- tween the two men. On the night of the | tragedy Little challenged Wilkinson to go ! to a vacant lot and fight it out. On the way he turned suddenly and advanced on Wilkinson, and the latter fired twice, kill- ing bhis adversary. e el BOOKMAKERS ARE INVOLVED.

Oakland Office San Frhldsco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 17. P. A. Cameron, who resorted to the law to enforce a claim to one-ninth of the rich Gray Wing mine, located in the Sac- 1amento Valley and in which prominent Oaklanders are interested, lost his suit by a decision rendered by Judge Ogden to-day. The court held that Cameron had no interest in the mine and was not enti- tled to an accounting because of failure to meet assessments\levied by the board of directors. The property was originally leased by Polk Gray, John Burnham, John A. Brit- ton, P, A. Cameron, A. G. Eastland, James A. Joyce, W. B. Wing and others from W. B, Plumb. The purchase price was $4600. All but Cameron paid their pro rata of the purchase price. The addi- tional sum of $5000 was raised for pros- pecting purposes before the yellow metal was encountered. After the mine began paying rich dividends Cameron, who signed the original lease, brought suit for the recovery of a one-ninth interest, but Judge Ogden to-day decided that he had forfeited all interest in the mine.

Curtis, admin- {strator of the estate of Frenna's wife, Sarah, In an action brought Ry Frenna to recover property worth $4500, which he claims he deeded to Mrs. Frenna in trust. Frenna, who was being questioned by Drury as to his Interest in the property, did not.like Drury’s manner of question- ing him and showed his ill-temper by breaking a cane he carried over his knee. ‘When the examination closed he grasped the upper portion ef the cane, and, mut- tering to himself, walked toward Drury with his arm partly raised. Just as he reached Drury and was about to strike him, his attorney, J. A.

THE EVENING OF LIFE Declining years—the time when one is on the other side of the hill, y call for con- stant care in the matter of nutrition. Life then depends so much on the body’s power to repairloss and waste. This power grows less and less. The ability to shake off local disorders and todraw heavily on the body’s reserve force are privileges that youth alone can claim. With age comes slow move- ment, slower operation of the whole body’s forces. Trifles become burdens and we live in the past. Ordinary food no longer nourishes. Poor teeth, perhaps, and improper mastication give the stomach work that it is not suppo.d to do—th?'dxgatmn is taxed and even' injured when it should be troubled least. Many elderly persons get strength and nourishment from Scott’s Emaulsion. It slips into the blood so quickly that the stomach is not aware of its presence. Not only does Scott’s Emulsion furnish nourishment itself, but it helps to digest other food. It aids in the proper distribu- tion of food benefits—sim- plifies the stomach’s work. Moreover, the lime and in- Scott's wr: | Emulsion in the form of hypo- phosphites nourish the bones .
