GOODS WORTH A CENT.
A Funny Story of Mediums, Burglary
and Law from FL Monte Constables
Who Worked on Pointer from a
Medium.

A preliminary examination was held
at Ell Monte yesterday before Justice J.
r. Rush, which involved some queer
features, and in which the old farce was
enacted of woman attempting to go
back on charges to which she had
sworn. The defendant in the case was
J. E. Smith, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. N.
Smith, and the complaint, which
charged him with burglary, was sworn
to by his mother. The family lives at
Vineland, about eight miles from Ell
Monte.
During the day of October 8, it was
testified, Smith went into the house
and rified it pretty thoroughly of silver
ware, jewelry and clothing belonging to
his father and mother. The value of
the stuff taken was said by the old
folks to be about $175.
AS soon as the loss was discovered,
the constable, H. M. Wilson, of Ell
Monte, was notified, and search was
begun. Mrs. Smith came to the city
and consulted female medium in an
attempt to locate the stolen property.
The son had disappeared and was at
once suspected. Without telling the
officers that she had consulted a
medium, Mrs. Smith told them she had
good evidence that the goods were
hidden at the house or barn of a
Mr.. Brown. living at Azusa. A search
warrant was obtained, and the house
was visited. Nothing was found, and
Mrs. Smith insisted that the barn be
searched. Nothing being found there,
she directed the officers to dig up
haystack standing near by. Constable
Wilson and his deputy, g. L. Wilson,
worried around the haystack and dug it
nearly all down without results, wearing
out their hands and tempers. Then it
was that Mrs. Smith announced that
the medium must have got things
mixed. A more disguised set of officers
could scarcely be found in the county
when they learned how they had been
sent on such chase by medium.
Mrs. Smith did not stop, however.
She charged Miss R. Bronson, young
woman living at Azusa, with being in
possession of the property, and had her
trunks searched, unsuccessfully.
Deputy Constable Wilson finally
found Smith at Chino, where he was at
work in a restaurant. He had some of
the property in his possession, and the
rest OF it was found at ,Hawkins's Sec
ond-hand store on Second street, be-
tween Main and Los Angeles streets,
where the young man had sold it.
On the examination, yesterday, Mrs.
Smith tried to shield her son, and
stated that the entire value of the prop
erty taken was only about $40. The de-
tense put in very little evidence, and the
justice reserved his decision until this
morning. The officers feel confident
that he will be held to answer.

Highwaymeu Plying Their Vocation with

REDDiNe, CAL, Oct, 20.-Soon after
the stage robbery last night, Under
Sheriff Ross and Charles Overholser
went across the river in search of the
highwaymen and found two men in a
field who are believed to be the parties
wanted. Their tracks led to the river,
where, 1t is thought, after robbing the
stage, they had crossed in a skif. The
men were lodged in Jail.
This morning Postmaster Hoe at Mill
vile brought word that the Redding

Draper, place two miles this side of
Millville. Two men masked, one armed

UP FOR CONTEMPT.
An Outgrowth of the Anaheim Water
Fight.

Fight.
Vicente Yorba was yesterday cited to
appear before Judge Shaw, October 26th,
and show cause why he should not be
punished for contempt for interference
with an officer appointed by the court.
The occurrence is in connection with
the long standing water right fight be-
tween the Anaheim Irrigation associa-
ton and the Yorba company.
The case is now pending before Judge
Shaw and some weeks ago he appointed
Fred Eaton to measure the water in con-
troversy. When Eaton went to perform
his duties, he found that, either acct
dentally or with malice prepense Mr..
Yorba had caused the zanjero to turn
on the water at full tilt, ostensibly for
the purpose of cleaning out the bitches.
But, owing to rains in the mountains
there was such head of water that it
washed out all the planks in the ditch.
The court has conceived the idea that
Mr.. Yorba is trifing with its dignity
and has consequently cited him to ap-
pear.

opium were found this morning on the
steamer Lakme which arrived from

RIVERSIDE, Oct. 20.-Telegrams were
received here today from Boston capi-
talists seeking information about the
Temescal tin mines. This important
industry is awakening interest through
out the entire east. Not day passes
without letters, kilograms and samples
of pig tin being forwarded to the poiiti-
cal and financial centers beyond the
Rockies. Massachusetts and Ohio have
called for most of this information SO
far.
THE SPECIAL TAX OPPOSED.
The action of the county supervisors
in levying a special tax for building a
new court house at San Bernardino will
be contested in the courts. Leading
San Francisco lawyers have been en-
gagged to represent the interest of the
citizens opposed to the special levy.
The tax imposed makes the county rate
higher than the state rate, and it is
claimed on the part of the people out
side of San Bernardino that it will affect
the material development of colony and
other enterprises.
RAIsIN PACKING BEGUN.
Raisin packing began here today.
The receipts of the packing houses are
very light thus far, but continued good
weather like that of the past five days
will result in rapidly crowding the pack.
Prices remain unchanged. The best
offered for prime London layers is 81
cents. Growers are refusing to sell, and
many propose packing and shipping on
their own account.

DASHED TO DEATH.

Fearful Wreck of Runaway Coal Train
Near Bellwood, Pa.-Three Men Killed
and Others MISUNDERSTANDING Cars
and a Locomotive Dashed to Pieces.
ALTOONA, Pa, June 13.-While COM
ing down the mountain from Lloyds-
Vile to Bellwood on the Pennsylvania
& Northwestern railroad heavy coal
train got beyond control of the train
men and dashed down the grade at a
fearful rate of speed, and was piled up
and smashed into kindling wood at a
curve on the side of deep ravine
about three miles north of Bellwood.
The engine and twenty-five cars,
which had been loaded with coal,
lay piled up in mass of broken
wood and twisted iron at the bottom
of the ravine, and AMONG the debris
were the bodies of the conductor, engi-
neer and one brakeman, with almost
all semblance to humanity crushed out
of them. The other train hands
escaped with their lives, but all
were more or less injured. The track
is torn up and blocl1aded for a long
distance, and passengers are being
transferred by way Of Altoona and
Cresson. The accident is supposed to
have been caused by wet rails and the
air brakes refusing to work properly.
1t has been impossible to learn the
names of all the killed and I'M ured men.

The Wife of q Berlin Financier Fugitive
After Having Squandered Her own
Dowry of 100000 Marks and Forged
Her Husbands Name to tho Extent OF
100000 Moro.
BERLIN, June 1S.-Two years ago
Herr Brauns, the well-known financler
and factory-owner of this city. married
at Pesth the daughter OF wealthy
banker of that place noted for her
beauty. The couple set up an establish
ment in Berlin, where they entertained
in princely fashion, the bride soon being
recognized as one of the leading ladies
of the capital. A month ago she
suddenly vanished from the mansion
of Herr Brauns in fotsdamer Strasse,
and her whereabouts could not be
learned until day or two ago, when it
was discovered that she was fugitive
from Justice, and had taken refuge in
her fathers house at Pesth. She had
confessed to having forged her
husbands name to bills of ex-
change amounting to upward of 100,-
600 marks. This money she had lost
in mad speculations on the bourse. But
this was not all of her folly, for she had
gambled away her own dowry of 170,-
900 marks before entering upon her
career of crime as forger. The bills
had been discounted by friends of her
husband at eXorbitant rates. and she
lifted the acceptances when due by other
forgeries. Her concealment became no
longer possible and she fed to her father
and confessed all to him. The banker
offers to make good his son-in-in-law's
losses, but Herr Brauns is not inclined
III gr,0l
dent, and insists upon procuring a
divorce from the woman who has be-
trayed his confidence in such startling
