She Charges Her Lodging-HOu Keeper
With Battery.

She Charges Her rLodging-HOuse Keeper
With Battery.
A complaint was sworn out yesterday
afternoon in Justice Austin's court
against the people. who run
a lodging house at No. 217
South Main street, charging them
with battery. The complaining witness
was Mrs. Teodosia E. J. Sepulveda, the
poor old woman who was Col. Jim East
mans housekeeper during his life, and
who has haunted the superior courts
ever since under the delusion that the
Judges had lot of money belonging to
her, and which they were Withholding
from her.
The old woman has been living in the
lodging house and the proprietors have
PROBABLY been trying to get rid of her,
which resulted in row. During the
afternoon they made out complaint
against Mrs. Sepulveda, charging her
with distur bing the peace, but thought
better of it and did not swear to it or
have warrant issued. Late in the
afternoon Officer Huston was sent for
from the lodging house; the proprietor
telephoned that the old woman was
acting in very crazy manner, but she
had quieted down somewhat when he
arrived and was not brought to the sta
tion. She has never been violent, and
was familiar figure in Judge Cheney's
old court room, where che appeared
regularly every day and sat quietly
through the day without saying word
to anybody, beyond asking the judge if
anything had been done about her
imaginative property.

The Details Of the Fire Yesterday
Afternoon.

The Details OF the Fire Yesterday
Afternoon.
A fire broke out at 4 80 o'clock yester-
day afternoon in the engine room of the
Main-street planning mill, opposite the
Washington gardens. The fire spread
rapidly amongst the shavipgs with
which the fire was being fed, and in q
few minutes the flames were hey ond
control. The fire department responded
quickly, but the building was old, and
dry as tinder, and in spite Of all that
could be done the entire mill was burned
down. There was considerable lumber
on hand, and the mill was we'll equipped
with machinery. The loss amounted to
about $40 900, and there was an insur-
ance of only $1,000.
The mill was originally built by
Mrs. Martin for Kelsey & Thompson,
several years ago, who sold out about
two years ago to Pugh Brothers, the
present owners. They employed from
Is to IS men, and were doing good
business. While the fire caught in the
engine room, just how it started is not
known, and it spread with such rapidity
that the engineer came near being
burned. The heat was 30 intense that
a small barn back of the Mainrstreet
bakery caught fire and burned down, a
horse in the structure being saved with
difficulty.

JUDGE wlpNEY,s ADDRESS.
The Financfer Greeted BY an Appreci,

The Financfer Greeted BY an Apprecia-
tive Audience.
A goodly audience assembled in Turn
ve-ein hall tast night to listen to an ad-
dress by Judge r. M. Widney on the po-
litical questions. The meeting was held
under the auspices of the Republican
county central committee. Judge Charles
Silent called the meeting to order. and
introduced ex-Gov. Lionel Sheldon.
Governor Sheldon said he admired
those hardy pioneers who braved che
dust and dangers of the plains and
Such is the speaker OF the evening who,
As years ago, came to this state. He was
educated in Northern California, is a
student of finances, and understands the
country and it's needs. He then intro
duced the speaker.
Judge Widney said that it is the GUS
tom in every political campaign to say it
is the most important one ever known,
and so it is; for every four years the in
terests CT the country have 60 increased
as to make it true. There are 2,500,-
000, 900 acres OF land in the Uni,ed
Statee, including Alaska, and 65, ,000, 900
of people. This great corporation, like
private ones, cannot be run without
proper plans. These plans are ex-
pressed in party platforms. You can
not run the government on the same
plan as you can run q bee ranch in
Southern California.
The speaker, after discussing the tariff
question, went over the history of bank
notes, and criticised the eighth plank of
the Democratic platform.
He denounced the silver plank in the
platform of the Peoples party, or, as he
called them, the Alliance party. The
silver men. if successful, will combine
with the gold men and condemn paper
currency. The government is buying all
the silver produced. He then quoted
statietics extensively to show that the
silver plank of the Peoples party, or as
| endorsed by Senator Stewart, is wrong
He then turned his attention to the
proposition of the government owning
the railroad and telegraph lines, as laid
| down in the planks OF the Democratic
and Peoples party. He claimed that
| there is not cash enough in the United
States to buy the railroads, and that they
cannot we'll be confiscated. Ii paid for
| in bonds, the debt will burden genera
tions to come, and be a good thing for
| the railroad people. He made an argu-
ment in favor Of the existence o; rail.
roads. He claimed that the Republican
party does not pre- pose to cinch and de-
stroy the railroads, but to reduce their
rates to reasonable prices as coon as
| possible.
The laboring man has only one thing
to sell, and that is his labor, and nobody
can buy it but the CAPITALIST. There are
100000 idle laboring men in the
| United States. Increase the volume OF
money until the interest on money is
less than the interest, on the industries,
and the capitalist who has property and
not money can then get cash to pay
labor. The lsboring man gets the
money which builds the millionaire q
mansion.
He touched ON the question of Amer
ican ship building, and closed with an
eloquent description OF the Charleston
chasing the Itata, as illustrative of the
power of American ships over foreign
! ones.
