Miss Gustavson and Defen- dant’s Wife Testify For Him. Walter N. Dimmick breathed a sigh of | relief when he was notlfied yesterday in the United States District Court that no further questions would be asked him. For three days the man who is charged | with stealing $30,000 from the Mint nad been subjected to examination, cross-ex amination and redirect examination, and though he went through the trying ordeal without losing his equanimity his nerves must have been on the shaking point many a time. At the opening of the morning session Dunne informed the court that the Mint | | officials were unable to find the counter | | cash book. This is the book that Dim- mick claims he kept up to the time he | vas succeeded by Cashier Cole. Dunnc interrogated the defendant about the side door to the Mint. This side door is located | in Mint avenue, and according to Dim- | mick is used for the purpose of receiving | coal and other supplies. He admitted | that he passed in and out of it on various | occasfons. | RREBEEERERRRRE RRRRERRRRRR RERRRRERRRERRE RRRERRRRRRY, Powell eet, Near Market. s gave up to Upon redirect examination Al!orl\p-," E 8 g cept the offer.

Collins announced at this juncture that | he had subpenaed a number of witnesses { who would testify to Dimmick's good | character, and if he was allowed to put | young lady em- ks from Jdmmr\ 14 in their evidence the following morning he would close his case. This was agree- able to the prosecution if Collins did not put in more evidence to prove that Eilis was unreliable.

Special Dispatch to The Call. REDDING, March 2%.—J. H. Ryan of this city is the inventor of a strange little plece of mechanism with which he claims he can locate deposits of precious mincral | of the earth. This little piece of machinery has passed vth- experimental stage with Ryan, and he is now thinking of making daily prac- tical and profitable demonstrations rtjat the thing will do what he claims it will and the like that lie beneath the surface ! 1dn Not only does the m’l(‘hme locate geld t\nd silver, but Ryan claims it will | also point to the spot where profitable oil arilling may be commenced. The ihstru ment is not ove of the old-fashioned di- vining rods, willow switch or anything of that sort, but a little intricate machine of delicate parts and adjustment, sensi- tive to the presence of the precious metal. Ryan is now using his invention to good advantage on his lot, and in the dirt he has found profitable diggings. His sold machine is responsible for his finds. He walks out over this “made ground,” holds the little machine in his hand and every time the indicator bobs down Ryan be= gins to dig. He says he has by this meth. 0d found In the neighborhood of $80 worth of gold during the past few days, and Se- Meves he will yet make his fortune through the workings of his new-fangied bonanza indicator. i Let us fit your hand to a Waterman Ideal fountain pen, or an A.

Commissioner Ide is greatly pleased to be home again. He feels he is in need of a rest and believes that at the end of six months he will be able to take up his important duties with even greater vim. He is enthusiastic over his work in the Philippines. As Secretary of Finance and Justice, his part in the construction of a Government out of chaos has been of great importance. He states that when he left the islands peace blessed them and he was happy to say that the health boards under the immediate direction of the Philippine Commission had stamped out the Asiatic cholera. 100,000 DIE OF CHOLERA. The Judge spoke with some regret of 100,000 natives who succumbed in various parts of the islands from the dread dis- ease. He attributed the deaths to the carelessness and ignorance of the poorer classes. That there were not twice as many deaths was due to the precautions taken by the commission. He said no fruit or vegetables were allowed to be sold in the public markets for many months, as the germs of the disease were only dangerous when taken inwardly. Judge Ide's attention was cailed to the frequent dispatches from the Philippfnes of outbreaks in some of the provinces and he explained the matter by saying that the same conditions exist in the Philippines that existed in the South and Southwest after the Civil War. He states that there have always been bands of Jadrones who roam over the country, rob- bing their own people, and the Govern- ment is obliged to cope with them by con- stabulary. He said the insular constab- ulary numbered 5500 men who were com- manded by American officers. These men were natural hunters and they pur- sued the marauders with zest and nearly always captured them. Commissioner Ide said further: Conditions in the Phillppines are constantly —_— e ——— Humane Society Meets.
