New Board of Trustees Does Usual
Amount Routine Work
At last night’s meeting of the city board of
trustees on recommendation of the fire and police board, Firemen J.W. HOGAN and
F.W. BUTLER, who have served the city continuously in the call department for
more than twenty years, were made pensioners and placed on the retired list.
City Collector SPAULDING reported that
collections of water taxes during the year had aggregated $156,138, and that
the total collected during the year, including property taxes, amounted to
$894,303.
Street Superintendent IRVINE reported that
the holes in the levee in front of the Friend and Terry Lumber company’s place,
had been sunk for the purpose of erecting the wharf, that they were behind the
riprapping and had not injured it, and that they were more of a benefit than a
detriment. A week ago complaint about the holes was made to the trustees.
Complaint was made by WHITE, MILLER &
McLAUGHLIN, representing certain clients, that the owners of the WRIGHT tract
on the J street road had dug a ditch so as to throw the water form the tract
through a swale in the INDERKIM ranch, and that to do so would mean to send a
large extra flow through McKinley Park and to destroy it for pleasure purposes.
Trustee CARRAGHAR explained that the board
was not responsible for the ditch cut, that it had been ordered by the
supervisors, but that the natural escape for the water from the track was by
the way of McKinley Park and that the board had done nothing without the advice
of the city engineer.
Trustee CARRAGHAR and Clerk DESMOND were
directed to confer with County Auditor WILLIAMS with a view of having the money
belonging to the annexed districts transferred from the county to the city.

make any statement in connection with the affair. He is still in

SUPERIOR LODGE HOLDS FIRST OF SERIES OF DANCES
Superior Lodge, No. 2682, of Sacramento Modern
Brotherhood of America, gave a leap year ball in Pythian castle last night. The
event was a success, many members of the lodge and their friends being present.
Last night’s dance was the first of a series which will be given during the
next few months.
L.W. STITES, George DAVIS and Miss Grace
GRIFFITH made up the committee in charge of the event.
One of the first things William H. HANLON
noticed when he assumed management of the Hotel Sacramento was the manner in
which Arthur WIGHT, night clerk, would ask Miss Jennie DONALD telephone operator,
to ring for numbers. There was an air about them that Hanlon believed to be
inspired by Cupid, that busy little fellow who makes so much happiness in the
world.
Hanlon, who had once upon a time been
harpooned by Cupid, watched and waited. The places of Wight and Miss Donald are
now being temporarily filled, while the young married couple are enjoying a
honeymoon. They will be home within a few days and will make their home in
Sacramento. And the only blame laid to Cupid is that his pranks may have
disturbed the personnel of the office at the hotel, a condition that was
entirely satisfactory to the management. Wight will go back to his old
position, but there is a question about the little woman who was formerly Miss
Donald.
CHINAMAN ESCAPES FROM CITY JAIL
While Max FISHER and Sammy RUSSELL were
preparing to take his picture at the city jail for the rogues’ gallery, Ah HOP,
arrested with two other Chinese for carrying concealed weapons, darted from the
yard, through the corridor and out the front door. The last seen of him he was
headed for Chinatown at top speed.
HOP, with Chin DEE and Fong CHUNG, had been
taken by Fisher and Russell into the rear yard of the jail. Chinese have an
aversion to having their face “shot” by a camera, and while Fisher and Russell
were arguing with Dee to sit down in front of the camera, Hop saw his chance
and escaped. The police have been unable to locate him.

so rapidly that none of its contents could be saved. The Wentz home was near

OFFERS HIGH SCHOOL SITE
ORLAND (Glenn Co.), Feb. 24
- L.W. MILLER is the first to offer a site for the new high school. Miller will
sell to the high school board four acres of land in South Orland for $480 an
acre, what it cost him four years ago. The land is now valued at $600 an acre.
A street fifty feet wide runs on two sides of the tract and the land is plowed
and ready for planting trees.
RALSTON MINERS ARE ASPHYXIATED
Poisonous Gases Cost Lives
of Two Men in Placer County Workings
FOREST HILL (Placer Co.),
Feb. 24 - That Luther EUBANKS and H. GODDS, miners, were asphyxiated in the tunnel
of the California and Hawaiian Development Do., at Ralston, seven miles
southeast of Michican Bluff, was the verdict of a coroner’s jury at an inquest
held here today. The company was exonerated from responsibility for the
tragedy.
That the men who were on the day shift and
entered the tunnel two hours after the night crew had fired several blasts just
before quitting and encountered air which had been impregnated with poisonous
gases is the belief of the officials at the mine.
The tunnel is being driven by the company to
tap a gravel channel at a depth of 200 feet and is in about 2700 feet. The
unconscious forms of the men were found an hour after their entrance at a point
about 2000 feet from the mouth of the tunnel.
They were hurried to the surface and medical
attendance summoned, but both Godds and Eubanks died in the afternoon without
having recovered consciousness.
Both of the victims were young men and
neither was married. Godds came from Grass Valley, Nevada county, where he has
relatives, and Eubanks is from the East, but the address of his relatives is
unknown.
BALAKLALA MAY RESUME
Coram Smelter Manager Says
Outlook Is Encouraging
CORAM (Shasta Co.), feb. 24
- Perry SKILLMAN, who is in charge of the property of the Balaklala Mining company
near this city, has returned from a visit in San Francisco on business
connected with the affairs of the company. He states that the prospects for a
resumption of operations by the company in the near future are encouraging.
Skillman did not give his reasons beyond
expressing his opinion, but it is supposed that the advance in the price of
copper is one of the reasons for the blowing of the furnace in the great
smelter again.
CHICO DEBATERS LOSE TO OROVILLE
Affirmative of Direct
Plurality Vote Question Won by the High School Team
OROVILLE (Butte Co.), Feb.
24 - The debaters of the Oroville high school defeated the team representing
the Chico high school in this city last night. Both teams presented good
arguments, and their arguments showed careful and earnest preparation.
The question was, “Resolved, That an
amendment be adopted providing for the election of president and vice-president
by a direct plurality vote of the people.” The affirmative was upheld by
Oroville, and the Chico team had the negative side of the question.
The debaters were: Chico - Katherine ROTHE,
Frank DURKEE and Del Norte WINNING, with Miss Jeanette DAVIS as alternate.
Oroville - Clyde FRISCHOLTZ, Irving VAN DAISENT, Arthur WILSON, with Eldred
HOLT as alternate. The judges were C.K. STUDLEY of the Chico normal, who voted
against giving the decision to Oroville; H.P. SHORT, principal of the
Bird-street grammar school, and Robert HILL, principal of the Gridley high
school, both of whom voted in favor of Oroville, and thus gave that school the
victory.
The judges were out about 15 minutes.
GAMBLING TRIAL MONDAY
Elko Business Men Favor
Vigorous Prosecution of Case
ELKO (Nev.), Feb. 24 - The
case of the state against Jack MAHER, charged with gambling, will be started in
the district court before Judge TABER on Monday morning. A venire of sixty
jurors has been drawn, but it is believed that several extra venires will have
to be drawn before a jury is secured as the case has been very generally
discussed throughout the county.
A meeting of representative business men was
held in Elko yesterday and a resolution favoring the vigorous prosecution of
the case was adopted. Maher was one of a party of twelve arrested while playing
roulette and faro in a rear room of a local hotel last summer. Seven of the men
were prominent Easterners engaged in a cross-country automobile trip.
Four local men were in the party arrested and
after a trial lasting several weeks they were acquitted.

NO MORE REWARDS FOR POLICE
SHERIFF
New Official
Must Be Satisfied With His $200 Salary
No more will the chief of police in this city
be allowed to take unto himself, or even divide with the members of his trusty
force, the spoils from the apprehension of criminals. He must be content with
his salary of $200 each and every month, and not even covet rewards, no matter
how large.
It is provided in ordinance No. 45, third
series, known as the Bliss ordinance, that the chief shall receive for his
services no reward or remuneration of any kind other than his salary.
In explaining that section of the ordinance,
Commissioner BLISS stated yesterday that in the past it had been customary for
the chief of police to take a part of rewards and in some cases the entire
reward had been retained. Sometimes the chief had little to do with the arrest.
He desires the man who makes the arrest to receive the reward.
The reward money that has come into the
office of the chief has always been a good addition to the salary and was
always one good reason why there were so many applicants for the place.
Storch Will - Charles WERNER and Gottlieb
FAIG, named as executors of the will of the late Jacob G. STORCH, yesterday
filed their application for the admission of the will to probate. According to
the petition, the estate is valued at $11,716.05, and consists of cash in bank
and promissory notes secured by mortgage.
Would Annul Marriage - F. ROGERS yesterday
brought an action against Estell ROGERS for a judgement annulling the marriage
between them, which was solemnized October 27, 1910. It is alleged in the
complaint that the defendant was not physically able to enter into the married
state, and this is offered as a ground on which to base the action.
Didn’t Like Farm Life - Judge POST Yesterday
granted John MUELLER an interlocutory decree of divorce from Ida A. Mueller on
the ground of cruelty. Mueller decided that the would become an independent
farmer, and bought a farm. He moved out to it. His wife was not impressed with
the idea of the “simple life” and “back to the soil” fad, and she declined to become
a farmeress. This was how John decided that he had been cruelly treated. The
court agreed with him.
Asks for Guardianship - Mrs. Hattie E. HERZOG
yesterday applied for letters of guardianship of the person and estate of her
brother, James W. DEVINE, who at present is confined in the Stockton asylum for
the insane. The estate is valued at about $8200.
Mgr. Capel Land Sold - The sale of the 130
acres of land owned by the late Monsignor T.J. CAPEL, the noted Catholic
prelate, was confirmed by Superior Judge SHIELDS yesterday. The land was in the
Valensin colony and the sale price was $4200.
Marriage Licenses - Marriage licenses were
issued yesterday to George CLOFTON and Inez BONHAM, both of Ione, Amador
county; Eduard CODROMAC and Betty KOBER, both of Orland, Glenn county; Joseph
James McGEE and Rose FAWCETT, both of Sacramento; Christian SCHOPP of
Davisville, Yolo county, and Jessie Margaret WHEELER of Sacramento; John Leo
SACRAMENTO and Emma Amelia ENOS, both of Yuba City, Sutter county.
Wingard Wills Admitted - Judge SHIELDS
yesterday admitted the wills of the late Caroline and the late John J. WINGARD
to probate. The property is left to the surviving daughter and son, share and
share alike. Mrs. Wingard died a month before the demise of her husband. It was
said that his death resulted form grieving for his dead wife.
County Clerk Names Deputy - County Clerk
PFUND has appointed Albert GRELICH to fill the vacant deputyship in his office.
The recent resignation of C.H. MERRY and Lawrence SMITH from the clerk’s office
force left two vacancies. James M. MORRISON and Grelich are the new men, but
there has been a shifting of positions so as to give Deputy Frank PRIOR the
salary of $125 a month enjoyed by Merry. Consequently Prior has been shifted
into Merry’s place. Morrison takes Smith’s place and Grelich takes Prior’s
place.
Touhey Estate Inventory - In the matter of
the estate of the late James TOUHEY the administrator yesterday made a return
of sale of the 10-acre tract owned by Touhey south of the old city, and now
within the city boundaries. The land had been inventoried at $21,000. Only one
bid had been received for the property and it was for $16,500. Acting on the
advice of the administrator, Judge SHIELDS refused the bid and the property
will be re-advertised for sale.
AMONG THE RAILROADS
Superintendent H.W. SHERIDAN of the Southern
Pacific railroad company has highly commended P.B. SMITH, an engine watchman,
and W.H. PEOPLES, a night baggageman, for saving a string of Southern Pacific
cars at Chico during the fire at the California Fruit Canneries at Chico last
Saturday. The men coupled an engine to the cars and hauled them clear of the
fire.
It was announced yesterday by James O’GARA,
district freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, that baggage will
now be handled on motor-trains 765-522 and 523-6766 between Sacramento and
Hamilton. The order to handle the baggage on these trains became effective on

NO PROTEST MADE TO
BROCKINGTON CLAIMS
Reported Action by C.P.R.R. Denied
at Sacramento Land Office
GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.),
May 19 -
Investigation of the report
that the Brockington mining project in the heart of this city is to be
protested revealed this morning that there has very evidently been a mistake in
names.
At the United State Land
Office in Sacramento it was found that there have been no protests filed by the
Central Pacific Railroad against the claimants of any mineral rights in Grass
Valley Township. The company cannot possibly make any claims to any lands in
the townsite under any grant, as it has never been allowed mineral rights in
its grants.
Receiver ING of the Land
Office stated that no such protest has been filed against any Grass Valley
claims. There has been such a protest filed against the Golden Septer Company's
claims outside the Grass Valley townsite, and this may have been confounded
with the claims of Brockington, which are owned by the Golden Center of Grass
Valley Mining Company. The words "scepter" and "center" are
believed to have been the cause of the confusion.
DIED IN
PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.),
May 19 -
Robert CASEY of Shingle
Springs, who died of chronic Myocarditis at the Sister's Hospital in
Sacramento, was interred in the Catholic Cemetery here yesterday, Father O'Kane
conducting the services.
He was a native of Nevada,
aged 45 years, and leaves a wife and three small children, and a brother, Hugh
CASEY of Blue Ravine.
MISSING MAN HAS BEEN FOUND
IN SOUTH
Injured and Unconscious in
Hospital in
PLACERVILLE (El Dorado Co.),
May 19 -
Charles H. GRANT, of this
city, who went to Sacramento several days ago and disappeared there was found
in San Pedro Friday and is now in a hospital in Los Angeles. He was unconscious
when found and was not revived until yesterday, when he was restored
sufficiently to give his name and the address of his wife in this city. Then he
relapsed into a comatose state again.
Further than to state that
the man had apparently been badly beaten or otherwise injured, resulting in bad
bruises and injury to the head, the message received here reveals little.
Mrs. GRANT left to-day for
Los Angeles.

Mrs. Eames Freed by Biguereau’s
Action
Oak Park Man
Repudiates Confession, and Charge Against Woman Is Dismissed
Acting upon the motion of Deputy District
Attorney Will CARRAGHAR, Justice of the Peace O’BRIEN yesterday dismissed the
case against Mrs. Howard EAMES, charged with contributing to the dependency of
the minor children of Leon A. BIGUEREAU.
The district attorney’s office was unable to
prove its case when Biguereau took the stand and denied making a confession to
the officers in which he said Mrs. Eames knew he was a married man. It was on
Biguereau’s statement that the prosecution expected to hinge its case and when
he refused to testify against Mrs. Eames the motion to dismiss the charge was
made.
Mrs. Eames and Biguereau, both married,
eloped to San Francisco in February and were arrested upon the complaint of
Mrs. Biguereau, who charged the couple with contributing to the dependancy of
Biguereau’s children.
Biguereau is said to have made a statement
last week to the district attorney that he was ready to testify against Mrs.
Eames because she had double crossed him.
“We have a charge against Biguereau of
contributing to the dependancy of his children,” said Deputy District Attorney
Will Carraghar, “and we propose to push the case for all it is worth.”

The supervisors have promised to investigate
the matter, and if they find that North Sacramento has a sufficient number of
voters, a new precinct will be formed, with Arcade Creek as the north boundary.
The North Sacramentans, who now have to vote
at Del Paso Heights, contend that there are approximately 300 voters south of
Arcade creek.

CARSON CITY, Nev.
- March 7 - The manufacture and sale of near-beer is prohibited in Nevada under
a decision handed down today by the state supreme court.
The decision was
made in an injunction suit brought by the state against the Reno Brewing
company to test the clause in the prohibition act, which went into effect on
December 17, and which prohibited the manufacture or sale of near-beer.
The three judges
of the supreme court were unanimous in their decision.
The preliminary
hearing of David RUSSI upon a charge of impersonating a United States marshal
in this city will come up before United States Commissioner Martin I. WELSH

money from federal prisoners, to find Miss Elizabeth CAIN, whom the doctor
subsequently married in this city, destroying her testimony against him. She
was a nurse in his office in San Francisco for five years. RUSSI says he used a
marshal’s badge. Dr. BRACKETT admits hiring RUSSI, but contends that he knew
nothing of the use of the badge.
