The Effect OF IRRIGATION in California.

Barbarous Russia.

John Natkar, Russian Jew, who
recently landed at Castle Garden,
furnishes an example Of the barbara
ties inflicted upon his race in the land
of the Car. He was clothier, re-
siding in the vicinity Of kietf Last
October the peasants became very
abusive and set fire to and DESTROYED
one of his outhouses. He complained
Intellectually to the police. On the
Sd Of January band of moujiks
visited his residence for the purpose
Of plunder. What followed is thus
related in his own language, as writ
ten out:
"They dragged me out Of bed and
beat and kicked me badly. They
wanted to get my money, and asked
me for it. When l pleaded poverty
they took me out into the garden,
clad as l was in my nightshirt, and
putting a rope around my neck, hung
me up to the limb of a tree. When
| was half suffocated they let me
down again and asked me if would
disclose the place where the money
was hidden. Again | refused, upon
which, without further ado, one of
them forced open my mouth, and
while the others held me, cut out my
tongue with pair of shears. They
all ran away, while l almost bled to
death. l subsequently recovered in
the hospital and furnished the police
with the names and description OF
my assailants, who were, however,
released on the trial.
In connection with this atrocity
the curious fact is revealed that the
victim was not permitted to give his
evidence against his assailants, be-
cause the Russian code requires oral
testimony in order to convict parties
accused of assault. AS Natikar's
tongue had been cut out he was in.
capacitated as witness, and upon
this technical plea the rufiians es
capped conviction and punishment
But it may well be doubted whether
justice would have been done even il
Natikar could have obtained the ad
mission of his story in evidence

ley, on returning to the shaft, started
up the ladder way, and after going
about 20 or 80 feet found that es-
cape was impossible, and returned
just in time to escape being killed
by the bucket, which fell to the bot
tom, and by pieces of falling timber.
The two men took refuge in the first
drift in the winze, and were driven
to the next below, and at last were
crowded by the smoke into the bot
tom of the winze, 200 feet from the
surface, where they remained. Their
candles continued to burn, and Fra
ser says they could have remained
at the bottom much longer than they
did. He says they were not greatly
frightened, for the reason that the
fire could not last long, and that a
large force of men would be at work
on the top. They had resolved, how
ever, that if the worst came to the
worst, and they found that the smoke
would drive them out of this last re-
sort, they would make again for the
shaft, and they reasoned that if the
men on the surface had cleared the
top. they could strike draft Of air
in the shaft. Fraser had started to
the shaft to reconnoitre, and had Just
reached it when McIver was lowered.
lie says that they could hear the
hammer blows of the men on the sur
face rigging the windlass, and this
renewed their hopes greatly. They
were confined in the mine something
over an hour, and the experience Of
the two men crammed into that brief
space of time can readily be imag-
ined,
The cause Of the fire is something
of a mystery, but it is thought that it
caught from spark from Che forge.
Foreman McAuley was at the Bow
man mine when the fire began. and
there was no one on the surface at
the time.
From Supt. Ben Levy we learn
that the loss to the Shoe FIy Com
pany will not be very great-prob-
ably approximating $500.
John Barton has only been in the
camp few weeks, coming here from
Dayton, where he has wife and two
children. He is very seriously burn
ed, and although it cannot yet be de-
termined as to the elimination of his
injuries, it is feared that they are
dangerous. His face and head were
terribly burned, and the flesh fairly
dropped from his hands. He has also
a very severe burn on his left hip.
Barton is an Industrious and res
pected man and has many friends.
Peter Campbell, the other victim
of the sad affair, is a young man
lately arrived from Morey, and this
unfortunate shift was the second he
has worked in the camp, He is a
highly-respected, Industrious Young
man, and his accident will be sad
news to his numerous friends. He
has a married sister living in Morey,
and also one in Grantsyille. His
burns, though not as bad as Bar
tons, are extremely bad; his face,
head and hands suffered the worst.
just before we 60 to press we learn
that Peter Campbells burns are not
SO serious as at first supposed, and
his chances for recovery are good.
