A Gait Farmer Abandons His Wife and
Six Children.

A Gait Farmer Abandons His Wife and
Six Children.
Hiram Rattan, a we'll known farmer who
has for a long time resided in the vicinity
of Gait, has disappeared, leaving his wife
and six little children to get along the best
they could.
The Gazette in referring to the matter
says: For several weeks Rattan had been
talking of buying home at Valley Springs
for his family. and communicated his in
tentions to his wife, and the matter was
discussed by friends and neighbors of the
Rattan family. Last week Rattan left
home and informed his family on leaving
that he was going to Valley Springs to
straighten up things around the proposed
new home. Instead of going to Valley
Springs, however, he came to Gait, and sold
his real estate for 81 600. As soon as he re-
ceived his money, he started for Valley
Springs, remaining in that vicinity for
three or four days and dividing his time be-
tween playing poker and drinking bad
whisky. After having his little spree out,
he sent his horse and wagon home to his
wife and also word that he had left for Ore
gOQ.

RESULTED FATALLY.
Charles 7. InGham Dies from the Effects
of Paralysis.

Charles T. Ingham Dies from the Effects
of Paralysis.
Mention was made yesterday of the fact
that Charles T. Ingham, one of the oldest
journeynan printers of this city, had been
stricken with paralysis. The attack re-
suited in his death yesterday. Deceased
was &c years of age and was born in Hall,
fax, Nova Scotia. He had been a resident
of Sacramento for some thirty-five years.
Mr.. Ingham followed his trade until a
few years ago, when his declining health
caused him to give it up. He was one OF
the best-hearted of men, and his friends
were as numerous as his acquaintance.
He had pleasant word for everyone, and
was adored by his family. His daughter
Katie left only week ago for visit in the
East, her fathers health at that time being
SUCH as to give no warning that he was so
near the end of his earthly career. Besides
this daughter, he leaves a wife and two
sons. His funeral will take place to-mor-
row at 2 o'clock P. NJ. from his sons resi-
dence at Thirteen and E streets.

Two Runaway Wives and Their Para
mours Found Here.
Word was received by Chief of Police
Drew yesterday to look out for two married
women, who had left their San Francisco
homes on Monday in company with Dan
Spillman and Philip Delaporte. They
we're in Stockton on Tuesday, and left there
for this city.
Yesterday the husband of one of the
women came here in company with a
friend and met the two rascals who had
taken the women away. The said rascals
readily consented TO show them where the
women were, and took them to their
lodging-pla where transfer of the
property was made.
The husband remained in charge of his
wife and her. female companion, and the
two gay Lotharios bowed themselves out.
The women are quite good-looking and
well and stylishly dressed. They will re-
turn to San Francisco this morning. Their
names are respectively Mcmahon and

Prices of Salmon, 1t is Said, VIII be Con
trolled by 1t.
A San Francisco paper predicts trouble
from the Sacramento and San Joaquin
river fishermen from the fact that the new
Fishermens Union intends to establish
rates. 1t states that already the prices of
fish in the canneries and markets are en-
tirely controlled by the Fishermen's Union
The fishermen on the Columbia river are
at the present engaged in strike. They
demand 81 % fish, and the local union
here is holding the price for five cents a
pound, which is equal to rs cents fish on
an average. The Alaska competition also
cuts a figure in the controversy, as rates up
there for canneries are much lower than
those allowed in Oregon or California, but
the Sacramento and San Joaquin fisher
men are determined to hold out for five
cents pound, and the Fishermen's Union
seems to have the control of the price
schedule as far as this city is concerned.

A Fake Instructor of a Foreign Tongue
Turns Up Missing.
A couple of months ago man named
Lambert showed up here as teacher of
French. and actually made few confding
ladies believe that he had method" by
which he could turn out French scholars
in three months. There are always people
in every community who like to be hum
plugged, and this fake instructor was not
long in finding out that class of Sacra-
mentans. He was a person of rather pre-.
possessing manner, and worked up quite a
class of pupils.
A part of his method" was to secure
tuition in advance, and that he demon
strated, to the sorrow of some of his pupils,
was success. He didn't wait three
months to show what he could do as
teacher of French, but slit outn after rak-
ing in all the sheckels possible. At all
events, his pupils haven't seen him for sew
eral days, and they are not only out their
tuition fees, but don't know any more
about French than they did two months
ago.
