L e B VALUABLE LANDS T0 BE RECLAIMED Large Tract in the Rio Vista District Is Bonded. SUISUN, July 1 fornia capitalists has bonded a large tract of land in the Rio Vista district with a view to reclaiming the same. The land, with the exception of two parcels, is in the Egbert district and some lowlands ad- Jacent thereto, and consists of about 10,000 acres. It fs stated that the syndicate pro- poses to expend $1,000,000 if necessary to reclaim the land. The bonds expire Jan- uary 1, 1904, and it is surmised the work will commence In the near future. As at present out.ned, it is proposed to cut a canal to separate the ‘district from the mainland and thus relfeve from the rainwater which is a drawback and source of trouble under the present system. In addition to this plan powerful pumps will also be installed. Realizing the advantages and benefits that will ac- | crue from the proposed reclamation, many of the owners have signed for the sale of their lands at a sacrifice to stimulate the enterprise. A representative of the syndicate, Willlam Hayrord, has spent much time in Rio Vista attending to mat- ters in connection with the the lands. He is a member of the firm of Sisson, Crocker & Co., interested par- ties in the undertaking.

He nad escaped from a peace officer at Sebastopol the pre- vious evening by swimming the laguna at that place, and later sought to escape from Officer John M. Boyes and Con- stable Sam Gilllam by flight. The of- ficers called on Lopez to halt. and when e paid no heed to their warning they drew their revolvers and shot at him. Lopez declares the bullets whizzed close to his head, and he feared he was going to be killed. After being landed at the station-house he told of the pur- suit in Sebastopol and thought it a good Joke that he had eluded the officer. Lopez stated he remamed in the wa- ter for half an hour in sight of the of- ficer, but the latter was unaware of his presence. Lopez is accused of assault with a deadly weapon, the crime having been committed during a fight on the Walker ranch, near this city. Lepez went to an Indian camp with a large jug of flery liquor, and was welcomed. When the liquor had been consumed the fighting began, and it terminated, it is alleged, by Lopez plunging a knife-blade into his father-in-law’s side. @ il e @ FINDS KILLING WAS JUSTIFWBLE Jury in Melrose Case Returns Verdict of Acquittal.

Special Dispatch to The Call. | FRESNO, July 177—Peter Seiler, aged 18 years, young, ambitious, but unable even to read or write anything save his own name, was to-day by his own ap- plication released in the Superior Court from the guardianship of an idle father who for vears has made the boy his ab- ject slave. Henry Seiler, the father, is a man in the prime of life, strong and healthy, but for years he has not worked, living entirely off the earnings of his children and spending most of his time idling about the saloons in the «cf Young Peter has had profitable emplo: ment in a bottling works, drawing a sal- | ary of $5 a month.

Peter, too, has been ambitious to learn to read and write, other boys often ridiculing him for his ignorance. But his father has refused to let him go to school, or even to let him study for himself. Recently the boy was turned out of doors by his father and went to a boarding-house, but when payday came the father appeared as usual and took the money and refused to give the son even enough to pay his board bill. A sister of young Peter testified to-day in his behalf. She told her own story. worse even than Peter's, stating that on account of her father’s drunkenness ,and brutality she had left home, taking with her her little baby brother, an in- valid, who was dying at home because of want of proper attention. mony stated that while tHe father was the natural guardian of the son, the in- terests of the son should be considered, and he believed from the testimony that Henry Seiler was totally unfit to be the boy's guardian. He therefore freed the | boy from his father and appointed J. E. | Pllegard his guardian. 3 e WILL SEND NO HULA-HULA DANCERS TO ST.

Consequence — stomach, liver, bowels poisoned, thrown out of order—sour stomach, gases, colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, appendicitis, and in some regions yellow fever and the plague. Little children suffer terribly every- where. What does good sense tell you to do ? You can’t keep the hu- man body on ice, and the drinking of ice-cold drinks does more harm than good because it stops digestion and chills the internal organs. The proper thing is to keep all impure and unnecessary matter out of the ly every day, not give it a chance to sour and decay in the stomach and bowels, and poison the blood and the whole body. In this way you will stop all hot, feverish conditions, and keep your insides cool and healthy. To do it, use a medicine that is not offensive to the taste and not harsh and violentin its action.
