practically the first gun of the re-
bellion was fred in December, 1860, by
the passage of a secession ordinance by
South Carolina. The news did not reach
the Pacific coast until January, and it
created profound excitement and alarm,
and it was understood to be the keynote
OF action for the other Southern States to
follow.

HELD TO ANSWER.
The Case of Auguste Fourgous viii
Go to Jury.
Judge Cravens Holds the Defendant to
Answer for Murder, With
out Bail.

The preliminary examination of Au-
guste Fourgous, charged with the muir
der of his wife, occupied the attention OF
Judge Crayens the entire day yesterday.
Grove j.. Johnson defended Fourgous
and City Attorney Hart and Assistant
District Attorney Buckley conducted the
prosecution. Mr.. johnson stated that he
had been Incorrectly reported yesterday
as having asked for continuance of the
case. The request was made by the prose
cution. He observed that it was the first
time he ever announced himself as ready
on the first calling of a case of such inn
portance.
The prosecution introduced half q dozer
witnesses, and their testimony was about
the same as was given at the Coroner's
inquest.
MRS. HEISCH'S TESTIMONY.
Under the croSs-eXaInination of Mr..
johnson, however, Mrs. Heisch made
statements which materially differed
from the testimony she gave at the in
quest.
The defense offered no testimony, and
on the conclusion of the case on the part
of the prosecution, Mr.. johnson asked
for the discharge Of the defendant, and in
sisted that if the court did think the case
should go TO a jury, that his client be held
simply for manslaughter.
In support of his motion, Mr.. Johnson
made an extended argument, claiming,
among other things, that ii he wished to
deal in technicalities he could well make
the claim that the prosecution had not
proven that Mrs. Fourgous was dead. He
challenged the prosecution to prove by
any direct testimony, or any confessions
on the part of the defendant, that he had
shot his wife. The
CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES
Which the prosecution relied upon tc
make out their case was broken and dis
connected, and instead of presenting to the
court a strong case of circumstantlal eyi-
dence, it was powerfully weak and unre-
liable. Some of the circumstances, he
claimed, were exceedingly remote and
should have not been admitted in evi-
dence, but he did not wish to criticise any
rulings of the court. He urged the testi-
mony of Mrs. Heisch should not be given
much weight, as the statements she made
before the Court We're so contrary to those
she made at the Coroner's inquest as to
reflect on the credibility of the witness.
He believed she was so nervous that her
testimony could not be relied upon.
Judge Cravens reviewed the main
points in the case and concluded that il
was proper one tor jury to pass upon.

without bail.

GARRETT ARRESTED.
One of Those Implicated in the Auburn
Scandal.

Joseph l.. Garrett, the young man for
whose arrest a warrant was issued by
Justice of the Peace Devine, he being ac-
cused of being implicated with physi-
clan of this city in the performance of a
criminal operation upon Mrs. Piva of
Auburn, has been captured.
For several days the officers could find
no trace of Garrett, and it was believed
that he had left for parts unknown. 1t
was learned, finally, that he had left
Auburn and gone to San Francisco, and
the officers OF the metropolis were noti-
fled and furnished with descriptions of
the young man. But Garrett left San
Francisco and was traced back to Auburn.
where Sheriff Conroy promptly took him
into custody.
The Auburn Sheriff brought Gar
rett down to this city yesterday and
turned him over to Sheriff Stanley of this
county.
Garrett was then taken before Judge
Devine and arraigned. He pleaded mot
guilty" and had his examination set for
next Friday. He stoutly maintains that
he is innocent of the crime he is charged
with having committed.
Garrett gave bail in the sum of 81 900
and was released from custody.

Lesson.
The following extract from the address
of General n. P. Chapman at the Citrus
Fair in Marysville, is worthy of con-
sideration by the people of this section of
the State:
''The work of evolution in California
has about reached its climax, as regards
the discovery of its highest possibilities.
The work OF popping this goodly land
has but just begun.
I'VE have outgrown our pastoral life:
we have passed the exclusively gold
hunting period; we have found that our
returns from wheat no longer justify the
cost of production. The period of highest
development of soil and climate has be-
gun, for we are now endeavoring to
utilize the gifts of rich soil and unsur-
passed climate with which God has en-
dowed us. And yet there are MANY
| who persist in wheat-growing and refuse
to accept the evidences of richer returns
| from other sources.
"Of the multitude of proofs that might
be adduced to convince the dullest mind,

green fruit shipped, 466. Total, 559.
'On hand not shipped: Three cars of

''There passed through the Bank of

it encountered a short distance from Gait
a man lying across the railroad track with
a roll OF blankets by his side.
The engineer blew the whistle and rang

not. In the meantime every effort was
being made to bring the train to stop,

Just as the wheels made their final rev.
