Young Burton Prince, the son of a Santa Rosa banker, who shot himself fa- | tally Thursday, at the residence of his | family in this city, died yesterday morn- | ing at 9:50 o'clock, at the Central Emer- | gency Hospital, and with his passing the | Guestion as to whether or not his wound was self-Inflicted or the result of an ac- | cident was left to speculation. He was | unconsclous for the last few hours of his life. \ The wound was dlagnosed as certainly | | fatal by Dr. Leonard when the younsg | | man was first brought to the hospital, | and his death was expected momenta- | rfly. As soon as he had passed away an undertaker was notified and the remains | were removed. The body Wwill be taken | to Santa Rosa for interment. | Miss Madge Dixie, the young woman who claims that Prince deliberately | | killed himself because she had broken | her engagement to marry him, remained | in her rooms at the Palace Hotel during the day, but refused to see anybody, | sending word that she was too upset by | the death of Prince to undergo an inter- | view. | Fuller developments of Prince’s career | tend to confirm the fact that he was on intimate terms with Miss Dixle and that | he had been leading a rather gay exist- | ence during his week’s stay in San Fran- clsco, There can be no doubt that he was In the company of the alleged actress frequently during that period, and that | he formerly had known her intimately. | Sheidon further agreed to sell to the land | Sheldon’s proposition for the lease of the | ed. BOARD AGGEPT SHELDON'S OFFER Directors of the Central Irrigation District Are Happy. Long Litigation Over Large Acreage Draws to a Close. On December 10, 1902, the board of di- rectors of the Central Irrigation District of Colusa and Glenn counties adopted a resolution calling for proposals for the leasing of the system of canals and works in the district. A bid for the leass of the canals has been made by Willard M. Sheldon to the board of directors, and they have accepted his proposition. His offer was to lease the system of canals and works for the term of fifty years for the sum of $§25 per annum, to obtain cer- tain water rights from the Sacramento River now standing in the name of Byron D. Beckwith and to construct and main- tain on the canals efilcient gates or turn- outs at any point which (may be desig- nated by owners of 500 acres of land. owners within the Central Irrigation Dis- trict water rights and ditch rights under certain conditions specified in the lease. The board of directors in accepting canals required a bond of $10,000, which was given by him. John P. Clark of Fresno County and James D. Schuyler of Los Angeles County are his suretles. The Central Irrigation District in Co-| lusa and Glenn counties contains 156,000 acres and the total bonded indebtedness over the lands amounts, with interest, to about $800,000. After the organization of the district amd issuance of its bonds many miles of large ditch were construct- It then became impossible to secure ADVERTISEMENTS, SEMI-ANNUAL +SALE...

In his statement to Dr. Leonard he said the revolver had dropped to the floor and become discharged |n) that way. To contradict this was the fact that the bullet entered his body in | almost a horizontal course, passing be- tween the liver and the stomach. At the same time his clothing was not powder | rned, which condition should have ap- peared had the young man held the pis- tol in his hand. Dr. Leonard stated that | it was possible that the bullet, coming | from the directfon of the floor, might have struck the tissues surrounding one of the ribs, between which it penetrated, River. Litigation commenced early in the | history of the district and has continued until the present time. Owing to the liti- gation and to the bonded Indebtedness in- curred for work already performed on the ditch sales of lands in the region have been impossible and parties owning large tracts, containing thousands of acres, have found it impossible to divide them into smaller parcels and make sales there- of, so the population has not increased. Under the conditions named in the lease the lands will be relieved of the bonded indebtedness and these large tracts can { be divided and sold to advantage in price | and utility in water.
