The ladies of st. Francis Church in this city
had full number of tables amply supplied
with refreshments. The patronage was liberal,
and from 1t the church receives fund which
materially aids in meeting its expenses.
On such occasions, it is customary to have
prize cake, which, in its makeup, is not
sponge or other of the feasting kind, but at the
same time amusing in the style and in the
contents when developed. 1t was awarded to
Miss Katie Knightley, who received it with
evident misgivings. They were not serious,
however, for Mr.. Jacob Yost, who presented it
in one of his handsomest extemporaneous ef-

In Highland county, on Tuesday of last week,
the grand jury found indictments against
Andrew ]. Huffman and his wife for the muir
der of the boy Joseph Losh, their nephew, aged
10 years, on tie 3lst of May last. bench war
rant was issued by Judge Warwick and Deputy
Sheriff E. NJ. Arbogast. accompanied by Special
Deputy VIM. Dickson, set out post-haste Tues
day evening in search of the alleged murder
ers.
They were found at their homes In bed that
night, and were taken to Jail in Monterey. The
officers searched the house and found pistol
and the shirt the boy wore when he was wound
ed. It is reported that the hole in it bears the
appearance of having been shot through, being
powder burnt
After this discovery second post norton ex-
animation was made of the body of the dead
boy. which resulted in finding the ball. In the
first examination by surgeons. no ball was
found, and it was supposed that the fatal
wound had been inflicted by sharp slim in
strument.
The prisoners have been married about six
months. The husband is % years of age and
his wife about 30, though it was reported at rs
when the license to marry was obtained. She
says her husband was working the road that
day and was not at home when the boy was
hurt. She says that the boy persisted in saying
that he had fallen upon snag, and that the
wounded was thus inflicted. The question now
suggests ITSELF
Did the boy get hold of the pistol, and whilst
handling it, shoot himself, probably accidental
ly, and being afraid to acknowledge that he
had the pistol, told them that he had fallen on
a snag.
Will not this reasonable view be the theory
of the defense?
