A NARROW ESCAPE.
Woman Burned Nearly to Death

A Woman Burned Nearly to Death Is
Kindly Cared For.
District Attorney Francis z. Kelly, who
has just returned from trip to Indio, re-
ports very sad case of the burning almost
to death of Mexican woman, which took
place near there last week.
A number of Mexicans, men and women,
who were selling red birds, were encamped
near lndiu. They had just come into South
ern California from some mountainous dis
trict in Northern Mexico. On Monday even
ing, about ten days ago, a young married
woman named Gonzales was preparing sup
per over campfire, when the skirts Of her
dress approached too near the flames and
became ignited. Before the dress was ex-
tinguished the woman was seriously burned
about the legs, thighs and body.
There was no doctor anywhere about. but
a Southern Pacific engineer learning what
had taken place, ran his engine down to
Indio and told what had happened. Two
of the railroad boys carried quantity of
honey and flour to the camp and of this a
poultice was made and spread on the unfor-
innate woman's burns A Mrs. Hall of
Texas, who was at the hotel at Indio, went
over to the camp, taking some medicated
oil, and took charge of the nursing of the
woman. at last accounts she was likely to
recover, and the Mexicans were very CRATE
full to the people who had proven themselves

The Story Told the Judge by n Passer of
Counterfeit Money.
James Burlingame, convicted on his plea
Of guilty, of passing counterfeit money,
came up for sentence before Judge Hoff-
man in the United States District Court
yesterday. Before sentence was passed
he made the following statement:
Under the law 1 do not doubt l am
guilty, but it was not intentional. | have
neither friends nor money and came to this
city only few months ago, since which
time l worked steadily. l pleaded guilty
because 1 thought l stood no show if put on

Sol l had when arrested. At my prelimi-
nary examination it was not proven that
the money l offered was counterfeit If |
had counterfeit money in my possession L

He spoke so earnestly that, although the
Court stated that he had understood the
prisoner had made several attempts to pass
the money, still sentence would be deferred
until to-day to ascertain what the Secret
Service agent had to say about the case.

IN QUEST OF AN EARL.
An Irish Lord Looking for the Head of
His House.

An Irish Lord Looking for the Head of
His house.
The old Earl Of Shannon died last Febru-
airy leaving his title to his eldest son, Lord
Robert Boyle, who has been leading the
free life of frontiersman in Canada since
1882, and has not been heard from during
the past three years.
Henry Boyle, brother Of Robert, is at the
Palace Hotel looking for the heir to their
house, who is now the Earl of Shannon.
Lord Robert accompanied him to Alberta,
in the Canadian Northwest, in 1882, and,
liking the life of the frontier, declined to
return to Ireland when Henry returned
there in 1887. In November, 1887, Robert
left the town of Kamloops, b. c., for Van
couver, whence he proceeded to Tacoma.
Since then all trace of him has been lost.
Toward the last days of that month a
name, X. Boil, appears on the passenger
list of the steamer Mexico, which is prob
ably B0yle's. The purser may have caught
the name incorrectly, and so it is thought
that tine missing man is not far from San
Francisco. if alive,

JOE BARRIERE is FREE
The Jury Find Him Hot Guilty Of the
Charge Of numbering His Wife.
The Conflicting Character Of the
Testimony Offered BY the
Prosecution Prompts
the Decision.

Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
BUTTE, May THE general concern as
TO whether q shower of birthstone from
heaven would overwhelm this city on ac-
count of the u~nexampled lying that has
been committed I'm the Barricre case was
happily dissipated to-day. A few witnesses
were examined this morning, and by II
o'clock the evidence was all in. Although
only one Of those who testified claimed to
have seen the shooting yet some witnesses
were examined and the evidence was in
many respects fatty contradictory.
In the latter part of the forenoon the
jury,under custody of Under Sheriff Short
sleeves and City Marshal Daum, visited
the premises where the killing occurred,
and had the positions Of the parties at the
time OF the occurrence, and the place
where the pistol vas found, pointed out.
Judge Mediation allowed the attorneys
i'm the case only one hour each and
promptly called them 4 time when the
hour was up. The talking began at I
O'Clock this afternoon, when attorney
the prosecution. Attorney Booth
followed for the defense. Their
Attorney. Haldorn took a shot at the
jury u Prosecuting Attorney Baldwin
finished them. Judge Mediation read the
instructions and the case was given to
the wilted and suffering juryn,en. In the
speeches oil the learned lawyers, the wit.
nesses on either side were characterized
as outrageous liars. The speeches were
mainly directed toward showing that wit
nesses on the other side had been lying,
n by the time the learned lawyers
finished picking the testimony 10 pieces,
the jury had nothing left 10 convict or ac-
quit on, m doubt was even thrown ON
the matter OF whether Mrs. Barriere had
bccu killed or whether inIeed such N
m had ever lived at all.
The jury retired soon after5 o'clock and
on the first ballot stood for acquittal AMI
4 for conviction. They then went TO sup.
per and returning stood9, FOR acquittal and
3 for conviction. This status continued
during the evening until l0:45 o'clock
when announcement was made that the
verdict had been agreed on. The judge
and the clerk soon appeared, the prisoner
was brought in and Miles Mahan. fore.
man of the jury returned the jury's yer.
diet of not guilty. The verdict o~ccasioned
great surprise about town for without
doubt the general belief was in Barriers
guilt.
Without doubt Barriere owes his life "a
the untiring efforts of his lawyers, attor
neys Haldorn and Booth, who were also
accused Of murder and acquitted at the
present term of the district court.
Added Ia this was the conflicting char.
acter of the testimony offered by the pro.
secution. Some OF the witnesses told
stories SO evidently outrageous that the
case a weakened thereby and doubt
thrown on all the testimony.
Barrierc was discharged and left the
court house with his attorneys immedi
atcly.
Tomorrow the trial Of Brady and Pow
ers will begin.
