ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF james W.
shink-He vanishes, Leaving Behind
Winter Wardrobe, but No Unpaid Bills
A Wylie Avenue Boarding House Mys-
fsry.
A little less than seven weeks ago James
W. Shink, a youth scarce past his majority,
came to Pittsburg from Harper's Ferry, Va.
He sought and obtained work in one of the
many stalls in the public market, and was
to all appearances one of the boys who was
striving for that goal all good beings hope
for-success He took up lodging at No. 96
Wylie avenue, where he brought trunk
full Of good, plain clothes, overcoat, and all
the necessary wearing apparel one would
need to face winter with. He had evidently
left home where the principles of Christian
love and moral right were practiced, as
among his effects were school books, sub
stantial reading, and above all, a small hand
Bible with the inscription on the fly leaf,
'fFrom mother, Christmas. 1887"
Five weeks ago he left his lodgings in
happy spirits and has not been seen since.
The landlady, Mrs. Ludert, has inquired in
vain for him about the market, not with
any spirit which prompts landlady to
hunt delinquent boarder, but in the hope
of finding the young and unsophisticated
stranger.
He was about q years of age, of a quiet
disposition, polite, smart, diligent and
regular in his hours for arising and
retiring. His companions were
few, and to those who had a slight acquaint-
ance with him, every move he made was of
the exemplary kind. He did not drink nor
did he run out nights. His only habit
which savored of suspicion was his invet-
crate love for cigarettes. But this is
neither here nor there. Where is he?
His quondam friends and feliow-b' arders
are anxious to know what has become of
him. Not that they are personally inter-
ested in his welfare, but his abrupt and
mysterious leave taking, with the surround
ing circumstances, have caused many opinions
to be expressed among them more or less
conjectural. His object in going away, and

Valuable California Land OF Romantic
History Now in Litigation.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30-A land suit
involving the title to 900 acres near Mon
terey, valued at 81, ,OOO, 900, will be brought
here early this week. In 1887 Marcelina
Escober, who lived in the old Mexican
settlement of Monterey, secured grant of
two leagues of land lying directly south of
town called Rancho San Jose Chiquita.
His grant was approved in 1910. Soon
afterward he started for Old Mexico, aban-
doning his wife and his two sons. The
deserted wife waited one year, then pressed
by poverty, she sold the Chiquita ranch to
Sonora Abrigo for $3.50 in silver-a small
fortune in those days. The deed was signed
by the wife and the two sons in the name of
the husband and father. Escober returned
later, and entered no protest against the
sale. He died in 1S48.
At the time of the sale Colonel Jose
Castro. who afterward drove Fremont from
the Gabilan Mountains, was commander of
the garrison of 25 soldiers at Monterey.
He, so the present claimants allege, in
duced his soldiers to pool their earnings,
Sonora Abrigo. Castro afterward bought
the shares Of some of the soldiers, until
finally he owned II shares out of the %
shares. It is alleged that after the Ameri-
can conquest, when Castro was very poor,
he sold the whole ranch to Joseph Scenery
and Abner s. Bassett, giving the deed for
$780, They subdivided the ranch, and sold
the sections to about 200 small holders
The land is now estimated to be worth ST.
600, 900. In 1887 the present owners OBJ
tanned United States patent to the prop
erty, q precsution that had been overlooked.
This, if uncontested for five years, would
give them an undisputed title.

STEUBENvILLE, Nov. 30.-The Circuit
Court handed down decision to-day in the
case of Robert Sherrard, Jr., versus the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st. Louis Rail-
road Company, which will attract consider
able attention because it grows out ofthe con
solidation of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
st. Louis Railroad Company with its lines
west of Pittsburg in October, 1889, forming
the Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincinnati and st.
Louis Railroad Company.
MI. Sherrard was stockholder at that
time, owning 1927 shares, and declined to
enter into consolidation. He gave notice,
and in pursuance with section of the stat
utes passed two years ago, P. P. Lewis, DR..
William Stanton and W. L. Campbell were
appointed as Board Of Arbitrators to fix
the value of the stock. They found the
value at the time of the consolidation to be
$50, par value being $50.
The railroad company took an appeal to
the Common Pleas Court, and the issue was
tried before jurys The jury fixed the
value at S65 per share The Circuit Court was
asked to grant new trial, and the case was
argued last week before Judges Woodbury.,
Frazier and Laubie The case dwelt wholly
with figures and accounts, and amounts
ranged from $4,000 to $50, 1000, 600. The
court was asked to grant new trial on the
principal grounds of error in the admission
OF testimony of experts, error on charge of
jury and excessive verdict.
A majority of the Court decided not to
reverse the finding of the lower court,
Judge Laubie dissenting The railroad
company will make an appeal to the Su-
preme Court. Mr. Sherrard holds that his
stock is worth $1OO per share, or 1895, 700.
Steubenville city and Jefferson county hold
1,275 shares, and its valuation as well will
be determined by the issue of Sherrard's
case. This is the first time case of the
kind has been tried in the Ohio courts.
