Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. Trade in the frult market was unusually brisk for Monday, due chiefly to the extra re- quirements of hotels and restaurants during the G. A. R. Encampment. Nearly ail descrip- tions were in free supply and prices generally were well maintained, with occasional lots of desirable stock selling'at a small premium over the quoted rates. Recelpts of Berries were light and Strawberries and Raspberries cleaned up quickly at higher rates, while Blagkberries were easier, owing to the poor quality of the offerings. Apples, Pears, Plums and Peaches of good quality were steady and unohanged, but common and inferior offerings dragged at easy rates. Grapes arrived freely and fancy offerings were in fair request, but the general run of supplies were poor and small and moved slowly in consequence. Watermelons were active, owing to the werm, sunn$ weath- er, and fine large Melons sold in a small way up to $20 per hundred. Cantaloupes and Nut- meg Melonsi~too, were in good d'mand, but as recelpts were very heavy pric's were no higher. Receipts of Pears and Yellow Plums in bulk were light and sold readily at full figures for canning account. Good canning Peaches were in fair request at unchanged rates. A car- load of Zinfandel Wine Grapes, the first of the season, is expected from Antioch to-mor- row. STRAWBERRIES — Longworths, nominal; other varieties, $4@6 per chest. RASPBERRIES—$S@10 per chest.

GRIDLEY, Aug. 17.—E. A. Boyles of this place went to the mountains of Plu- { mas County on a hunting trip last week {and in a letter received to-day tells of his strange experience in the wild coun- try. Returning from a day's trip, he | stepped into an old mine tunnel, and be- | ing attracted by the character of the | rock of the walls of the tunnel he struck i a match and walked some distance into the incline. As he turned to go back to the mouth of the opening he saw a deer standing in a patch of light at the en- trance to the tunnel. He raised his rifle and fired and immediatelyga mass of rock | fell in front of him and partly covered { him. He was not seriously injured, but | was horrified to find that his exit had | been cut off by a cave which had doubt- less been started by the shock following the discharge of the rifle. { Boyles then followed, the tunnel back- ward, relieving the darkness by striking matches, and found that it led to a shaft. | The timbers of the shaft were rotten and there was no ladder, but there was a chance to climb downward. He let him- self down the old shaft and finding an- | other tunnel at the lower level wandered along its length and after squeezing through over parts of the roof that had caved in he reached the outer air near the bed of a creek. The tunnel through which he escaped was an old drainage way and still carrfed off the water of the mine, making pools, through which he had to wade up to his waist. When he got out it was dark, and being con- fused by his experience he lost his way and @id not reach camp until the fol- lowing mornin, e INDIAN YOUTH MURDERS A SLEEPING WHITE MAN Confesses to the Killing When Cap- tured and Claims He Acted in Self-Defense. 1.0S ANGELES, Aug. 17.—A special from San _iernardino to the Express says: News has reached here of the murder of Willam Adkins, a well known desert character, by an Indian youth of the Piute tribe. It Is said that Adkins had | stopped for a rest at Indian Springs and was asleep, when the youth secured his rifle and, taking a position in the rear of Adkins, shot him through the back and then clubbed his head into a puip. The Indian tried to escape on Adkins’ horse and, though he had several hours’ start before the body was discovered. a Sheriff's posse captured him a few miles north of Las Vegas, as he was making | for the Timber Mountain region, where his tribe is located. It is claimed that he has confessed to the killing, but at- tempts to justify the act by a claim of self-defense.
