HISTORIC GROUND,
A "Reminiscences of the Old Town of San
Barbara, Cal.

"Reminiscences of the Old Town of Santa
Barbara, Cal.
Last Saturday afternoon, as some
workmen were engaged in grading the
lot on Canyon Perdido street, near Sam
ia Barbara, the pillow turned up two bad
ly-decayed coffins-a woman's and a
child's. The collins were made roughly,
of kind of hard, tough wood, probably
brought from the Sandwich Islands, as
was all the lumber in those DAYS. On
that of the supposed woman were the
initials "M. A c." made by driving
brass-headed nails or tacks into the
wood. From the length of time elapsed
since burial it is hardly possible to
state positively whose coffin this is.
Doubtless it was one of the GARLIC
family's. 1t is quite possible that this
coffin may have been buried full hun
dred years, as this was the first burying
ground in this city. Father Villa, on be-
ing informed of the fact, ordered all
work to cease, and will have the res
mains properly exhumed and reburied.
This bit of ground is historic. Events
of the greatest moment to this city took
place here. This lot was originally
part of the old Preside, and on this par
ticular spot was erected the chapel
which was the first Santa Barbara home
of the Mission Fathers It was on this
spot that Father Janipero began in San
ia Barbara his work of evangelization,
successful probably even beyond his own
expectations. From this spot, then, be-
gan the work of civilization in this par
ticular part of the State. Wonderful
work indeed
At that time there were Presidios in
San Diego, Monterey and San Francis
co. This particular military post was
a square surrounded by high wall of
adobe, the top of which was protected
by tiles. The commentaries house
Ia part even now standing opposite on
Santa Barbara street, swas in the
Enclosure. Here, too, was the chapel
around and under which were buried
such of the converted people as died at
the time. The remains found the other
day are probably of that number.
The spot is historic more than any
other place in Santa Barbara It was
here that Fremont first raised the
American flag, IN 1916. There was no
flagstaff then, but Commodore Stockton
gave Fremont studding-sail boom
from the frigate Congress, then in this
port. 1t was about 40 Sset long, and
General Fremont had il raised in the
center of the Preside.
Thus from the point also took place
the second greatest eVont in Santa Bar
bara's history-the raising of the Amer
lean flag and the annexation of the city
to the United States. The next flag
staff raised in this city was on State
street, opposite st. Charles Hotel. In
April, 1S47. Captain Henry Carnes, with
his own hands, raised the beautiful
garrison flag. 1t was 20x40 feet. and
was the second United States flag in
this city-Santa Barbara Inde pendent

the house of A. II. Warden, father Of
Christie Warden, recently murdered by

said: ~ came up here to stay tonight;
want to see Christie's bed; l am a
friend.' The family were startled,
but allowed the woman to come into
the house. She said she would explain all
in the morning. Oscar Warden, brother Of
A. H. Warden, noticed that the visitor had
masculine appearance, and suddenly he
seized her hands. After a sharp struggle
tho circular was removed, disclosing per-
son in full male evening attire. The in
truder then declared that she was DR.. Mary
Walker, became excited, said she had come to
save Andrew Warden's life and would NAL Ike
further explanation in the morning. The
family was still suspicious and concluded
to ait up with the woman until morning.

person was man and had confederates
about that he and Ieighbor stood guard
before the house, armed with shot guns.
About two a. m. steps were heard BY the
outside watchers, but the barking Of

attempt to identify herself by showing two
receipts for registered letters bearing the
name of DIR. Mary Walker, some baggage
checks from Boston hotel. also $7h in

The intruder later volunteered the inforlna-
tion, "This Almy they have arrested is not
the man who killed Christie Warden"

IL o'clock sharp tho signal WAS given. and
with mighty YELL from 5000 throats and
amid the cracking of whips aud volleys OIL
oaths, shouts aud curses, the conglcmerato
mass of men and vomen, on horses and on
foot, rushed like nlania's for town lots. AL

many riders were unhorsed and hurled

are reported killed and others as having rs-

The excited and merciless crowd had nd

Colorado Republicans.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, COL, Sept. 29.-The
republican state convention met at noon
to-day. There being no opposition to
Chief Justice Joseph G. Helm, his renomi-
nation was made unanimous. The plat
fo!m heartily endorse the nd
ministration of President Harrison,
coinage of silver; favors protection against
every form of convict or servile labor; de-
nounces trusts and combines; urges the
speedy ratification by congress OF the re-
moval of the southern Utes from Colorado;
Ieaffirms belief in the republican doctrine
of protection to American Industries; de-
plores the persecution of Jews. The silver
plank declares that the demonstration of
silver by the United States was a stupendous
blunder and that bi-metalism Is necessary
to the welfare and prosperity OF all scom-
mercial peoples; demands the full recogni-
tion of silver as money metal by the
opening Of the mints OF tho United States
and believes that such a step will be fol-
lowed by a considerable number
of nations nnd that such course
will establish the ratio of silver and gold
existing at the time OF demonstration. 1t
denounces the pretense now being made in
certain sections that the friends of free
coinage are advocates OF a debased our
rency as untrue. and on the contrary assert
that there can be no stahlS currency based
upon either gold or silver alone. ''Wo
demand tho use of both silver and
gold as money at the ratio fixed by law and
that all paper monev shall be redeemable
in gold or silver at the option of tho gov
ernment, and that thus every dollar.
whether gold, silver or paper, shall be OF
equal paying and purchasing power" The
convention also adopted Il resolution ask
ing the national committee to select Oma-
ha as the place for holding the next nation
al convention.
