a Place County Orchardist.
FRESNO, November Sth.-At The evening
session of the Fruit Growers Convention
yesterday matters got rather warm. 1t
seems there is quite a rivalry between
Parker of Placer county, producer of the
Bulletin Smyrna fig and Depicke, of Fresno,
the chief fig-grower.
Shortly after the Convention had as
sembled, Mr.. Parker took the floor and
stated that Mr.. Denicke had visited his
place at Peuryn and introduced himself as
Mr.. Martin, stating he would like to in
spect his land. Mr.. Martin wss shown
over his possessions and instructed how
to cure figs properly.
Mr.. Denicke replied by stating that his
first name was Martin, and that he had in
trodNced himself to NJ. Parker as such in
order to ascertain something about his
methods Of growing and curing fgs.
Mr.. Parker, pale and trembling with
emotion, arose and stated that when
Denieke came to his place he introduced
himself as F. F. Martin, a tobscconist of
San Francisco, and said he was thinking
about going into the fruit industry. He
showed Mr. Martin his figs and told him
the process by which they were cured. On
leaving his place, Mr.. Martin ordered two
fig trees sent TO the address of f. f. Mar
tin. Shortly after Mr.. Martin visit several
scurrilous and untruthful articles appeared
in Fresno paper, over the signature of NJ
Denicke, attacking the Bulletin Smyrna fig,
the fruit which he PARKER was raising.
He would like to ask the Convention if
this was fair return for his hospitality.
George E. Freeman read paper on fruit
culture in Fresno county, which was a
careful resume of that industry in all its
branches.
At this morning session it was decided TO
hold the next meeting of the Society at Los
Angeles. March 10th, during the time the
citrus fair is held there.
The olive industry was discussed at
length by Messrs. Cooper, Kimball and
others, and stringent measures to prevent
sdulteradon of oil in California advocated.

SORROW IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, November Sth.-Colonel
Dudley, this afternoon, in response to a
telegram asking for particulars in regard to
the tragedy at Lexington, received mes
sage stating that Colonel Goodloe's wound
was very serious, but not necessarily fatal.

probable fatal e-mination TO q persons

The President knew Colonel Goodloe
well and esteemed him highly. The news
of his probably fatal shooting affected him
to a most marked extent. The intelli-

Miss Etna Perry Was Not Abducted, nor
Did She Run Away.
WOODLAND, November Sth.-Miss Etna
Perry, who was reported to have mysteri-
ously disappeared from Dixon, arrived at
Woodland to-day on the 11:45 train from
San Francisco.
Your reporter called on the young lady
at her parents house. She stated that the
statements, as reported in the San Fran
cisco papers, that she had run away from
home, was abducted or was foully dealt
with, are mere fiction. 1t appears that
the young lady intended visiting a family
by the name of Gushing, near Dixon, and
that she informed them of the fact, but on
her arrival at Dixon no one was there to
meet her. She, therefore, was at a loss
what to do.
While at the depot at Dixon she picked
up 3 San Francisco daily containing an adj
yertisement for milliner. This being the
young lady's business, she concluded to go
to San Francisco in quest of the position,
and also upon her arrival there 10 inform
her parents of her whereabouts. She wrote
one letter to her parents here, and one to
her brother-in-laW, near Capsy.
Receiving no answer she wrote 4 second
time by express to her brother in Capay,
who received the letter, and knowing of the
reports current as to her disappearance,
Immediately went to San Francisco and
advised her of the facts, whereupon she
came home at once and thus the great SEN
sation is exploded.

Terrible Stories of Suffering in Colorado
and New Mexico.

and New Mexico.
CLAYTON IN. M, November Sth.-The
storm has absted, and for the first time in
nine days the sun is shining. While no
authentic reports have been received con-
cerning the loss, reports come in that sew
eral Mexican herdeIs were frozen on the
Leon, a small creek twenty miles south of
town.
No communication hes been had directly,
and the mails to the different Postoffices
inland have not arrived,
Some apprehension is felt concerning
the Tramperas mail driver. who should
have reached Clayton last evening, but has
not as yet appeared.
Telegrams from Grande tonight give an
other case of freezing, that of Joe Martin, a
cowboy, who was employed with others in
holding herd of cattle near that point.
His horse gave out with him, leaving him
on the prairie eight miles from the nearest
house. This be endeavored to reach, but
was overpowered and frozen after walking
only a short distance. He belonged in
Ration, N. NJ.
The depth of snow cannot be correctly
estimated.
A snow-plow pushed by four engines was
stopped by drifts and only after eight hours
shoveliDg was released. The train men re-
port much olfhculty experienced IN the dl.-
ferent cuts, which in some cases were COM
pletely filed with dead cattle and sheep.
The loss to both is tremendous. Old
cowmen say that with the present depth OF
snow stock will be unable to live for any
length of time, and unless the cold weather
moderates, and the crust which mas formed
on the snow is loosened, the mortality
among cattle will be great.
Among the stockmen who lose heavily
are Carlisle Bros, of Durango, who turned
loose 1 900 head together with 43 horses,
and the three Pecos River companies, with
1900 steers. Many of the horses were found
frozen.
Several cowboys, who drifted off with the
herds, have not been heard from, and the
rescuing parties that are looking for them
will return tomorrow.
Fuller particulars, which must be of q
sad nature will be received in few days
