fsPEcIAL TO THE sENTINEL.l
San FRANcIsco, May SIN the Sharon

to the stand, and INTERCEPTED her as fol.
lows:
Mrs. Wilson, after Miss Hill commenced
suit against Mr.. Sharon, did you and your
husband go to her house?
Mrs. Wilson-Yes, sir.
What conversation took place?
She showed my husband, Robert. the
contract, and he read it through.
Was not that the first time you saw that
contract?
Yes, sir.
What did she want you to do with that
contract?
She always wanted us to say that she had
it since 1880.
What offer did she make to you?
She said she would pay us.
Gen. Barnes-How much did she offer
to pay you?
Mrs. Wilson-Miss Hill said that she
did not q us to tell anything but the
truth, and she would give me $4,000.
Did Vesta Snow ever see that contract
in your house?
No, sir.
Who got up that story Of vests seeing
that contract in 1880 I?
No one in particular.
Who was there when it was made up?
Miss Hill, Miss Bracket, Mrs. Snow and
myself?
Gen. Barnes then turned the witness
over to plaintiffs counsel, Gen. Tyler, for
cross-examination, when she testified as
follows in reply to the interrogatories II
told you that I could get money from the
other side if / testified. / told you that I
was a Christian woman, and that / would
not tell a falsehood for anything. / did
not know that l was committing perjury
when / told you all the statements in my
former testimony. l swore saw the con-
tract when l went with the plaintiff to the
West Coast Furniture Company. but 1
did not see it. 1t was q lie made
out of whole cloth. My husband agreed,
after he read the contract, to swear that he
saw il in 1880; that was at her house in
Laurel Place. Miss Hill was to give me
So, 900 for coming here and swearing false
ly, and my husband was to get So, 900 also.
She told me that she would give me S., 900
individually, that was before my husband
was in the case. Miss Hill, Miss Bracket,
Mrs. Snow and myself were present
when we were putting up the job
to swear falsely about the con-
tract. 1t was at Miss Hills rooms on
Vanness avenue. l can't say when was the
first time when she asked me to testify to
anything that wasn't true.
The case is still in progress.

On Wednesday night an accident oc-
CURED at the Atlas hosting works Of the
Ruby underberg Company. At the rear
of the building was a stone wall built
against the bank which fell in and did
considerable damage to the water pipes
and machinery. The extent of the dam
age we have not learned, but it is sup
posed that the base Of the wall gave way
through the action Of the frost in the
ground behind it, and that the base hav-
ing been displaced, the whole structure
gave way.

The way ft Is Now.

The rush to Cour d'Alene appears to be
on the decline. When the country was
almost inaccessible, a few weeks ago, the
rush was immense, but now the disap-
pointed ones have turned their faces the
other way and are either counting ties or
securing positions on break beams. The
outcome OF that country is left 10 the
future to decide, and in the meantime re-
ports are very conflicting.

each member OF the party never to tell
anybody or 'giye the thing away. bas>
kets were soon filled with eatables for

HIS FIRST VOTE.
The Trials and Tribulati0ns Mr.. Jacob
Adams Underwent to Cast MS
First Vote.

Jacob Adams, of Sears, was in the city
Yesterday, and called in to see us. Adams
is democrat. and every drop OF blood in
his veins is of the pure democratic kind.
In 1852 Adams was in California, mining
Jacob was just 81 years old, the day before
election. He was working eighty miles
from Sacramento, and had come to Sac
ramento the day before on his way
to see friend fifty miles east of that
city. On election morning he hired a
horse to go the other fifty miles. In going
from his hotel he was accosted by an
election worker, who asked him what ward
he voted i'll. Adams told him he didn't
live there but lived eighty miles east OF
the city, 'but, if l could vote, would
vote the democratic ticket" ''Comt
along, and vote in my ward" said th'
man, and off they went The law thei
was. in some states, that resident of tn
state could vote anywhere in the state, TO
all officers with the exception OF the count
officers. He could only vote for tn
county officers in his own county. Adam
and the other fellow went to all the fou
wards in the city, but they would no
allow Jacob to vote. He then e
on his horse and pulled out for his desti
nation. About noon he came to anothe
voting place, and tried to vote, but the
wouldn't allow him to vote because
he didn't live there. He resumed b
Journey, and about three o'clock
came to another polling place and tried
vote, but they would not allow it at tn
place. About o'clock he reached b
= destination, and found the man he car
to visit going to the polls to vote. Adam
told his friend he wanted to vote, and
to the polls they started. All the electi
board were democrats. Adams held
democratic ticket in full view and te
them about the right he had to vote
state officers anywhere in the state, o
two of the board said they knew of t
states where such was the law, and {
said he wasn't posted, SO they allow
Adams to vote. This was his first v
: cast to elect Pierce, the democratic pre-
y dent.
