MICHAEL S. HORAN-
Death of the Former Police Judge of
This City.

Death of the Former Police Judge of
This City.
The many friends of NJ. S. Horan in
this city were surprised and panied yes
terday on learning of his death IN San
Francisco on Saturday morning. Mr..
Horan came to California in 1868 from
st. Louis, where he was born in 1914. He
located in Sacramento and began life as a
brlcklayer. Afterward he taught school
in Folsom, and in 1869 he was elected to
the State Legislature from this county.
In 1873 he was admitted to the bar and
three years after he was elected Judge of
the Police Court. He began the practice
OF law in San Francisco in 1878. He was
q BrIgadler-General in the State militia
under Governor Irwin.
He had good law practice in San
francisco, was universally respected,
and had hosts of friends. He was quiet,
unassuming, thoroughly capable man.
and was twice honored with the nomina-
ton for Superior Judge. His wife died
two years ago, and the only surviving
relative is his mother, who lives in this
city. His estate is said to be worth about
$50 0OGO.
Deceased was one of the bricklayers
employed on the State Capitol building,
and 1t was greatly to his credit that as
soon as the building was completed, he
was member Of the first Legislature to
hold session therein. Mr. Horan was
essentially a Self-made man.

Wagons cut deep into it, and owing to the
side-hiu formation OF the streets the ma
terial was worked down into the cutters.
The latter is all right, for it has served
to make the streets more nearly level;
but there are keep ruts and hollows
which should be filled up before another
rain comes, for, let these hollows be filled
with water, and the wagons will not be
long in cutting clear through the gravel.
one dollar spent now in filling up the
hollows and smoothing down the mud
hlllocks will save the expenditure of ten
times as much three or four months hence.
The gravel is now in good condition for be-
ing beaten down and packed, ifthe surface
were leveled of. 1t would be shame to
allow costly grading to be ruined for
want of little attention at the proper
time

NOT A FAKE. "
The Sherin7s Onice Indignant Over the
Rio Vista Story.


Rio Vista Story.
AT the Sherif's Office there is considera-
BILE indignation over the article published
in the Rio Vista NetcS, in which it was
asserted that the recent diamond robbery
at Walnut Grove was a hoax-that Mrs.
Wheeler was not robbed at all. Deputy
Alter, who recovered the diamonds, is
particularly 'hot." He says a most
thorough search was made Of the bedding
IN Mrs. NheeleI's room, everything
taken Off and shaken, as well as an ex-
animation of the floor, bureau, etc. and
no diamonds could be found The bed
was then made up, and threats were made
by him and Constable Hanson that unless
the diamonds were put back in the room
"a certain woman, suspected of taking the
sparklers, would be Jailed. This had the
desired effect, and the next morning the
diamonds were found in a conspicuous
place on the bed.
a letter has been received by the Sheriff
from Mr.. Wheeler, i'll which he compli-
ments Alter highly for his clever work
in the case.

The levee work which had beon pro-
crossing so rapidly in the hands Of the
Southern Pacific Company for some
time, is now practically at standstill,
owing to the late storm. The pit where
the steam shovel reigned is now under
water, as well as others. and work cam
not be resumed until the water recedes.
Some leveling work is going on near tho
Pioneer Mills, however, with material
that was deposited there before the storm.

ROBBERS CAPTURED.
A Yolo Chinaman Beaten and Robbed
The Robbers in Jail.

A Yolo Chinaman Beaten and Robbed
The Robbers in Jail.
Highway robbery is the serious charge
that confronts three fellows who were ar
rested on the Yolo side of the river. The
names given by them are Frank Brown,
George Clark and William Barry, but
these are doubtless all assumed.
1t appears that they held up on Friday
a Chinaman who leases a portion of the
Todhunter ranch, and after beating and
robbing him of s. and watch they left
him.
Shortly afterward W. P. Todhunter,
Fred Kripp and George Donaldson over
took the Chinaman, and on learning what
had occurred they hastened on and over
hauled the robbers. The latter attempted
to escape, but they were all captured and
taken TO the City Prison here pending
their examination in Washington.
Todhunter had to take a shot at one of
the rascals before he would surrender.

MARKS DEMURRER.
Argument Before Judge Johnson-The
Case Submitted.


Argument on the demurrer of H.
Marks, to the complaint of Weinstock,
Lubin q Co., was argued by counsel be-
fore Superior Judge Johnson Saturday
and submitted. The court took the mat
ter under advisement.
This is the case wherein Weinsuock,
Lubin d Co. aver that Marks is stealing
business from them by having placed a
front on his store which is an exact coun-
terpart of the plaintiffs, and OF resort
ing to other alleged decelts. Marks, in
his demurrer, claims that the plaintiffs
have no cause of action; that they have
no right to the exclusive use OF any style
Of architecture; that his building IS not
an unlawful structure, and that he has no
means of knowing from the complaint to
what extent the other house has been
injured.

A HIGH BAROMETER

The Weather Bureau reports show the

by heavy frost.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ. and
5 P. NJ. yesterday were 30.I0 and 3O.05
inches respectively. The barometer still
keeps moderately high along the Pacific

is more to be desired now than rain and

$50 belonging to the house in Truckee
and other sums in other places. He had
not finished his trip, however, when he
was taken sick in San Francisco. His
condition became such that he had to
undergo several surgical operations, and,
when his funds were about exhausted,
he was compelled to go to the City and
County Hospital of San Francisco. He
had just been discharged from that place
when arrested. Ferguson denies that he
sold his railroad Communication ticket, and
says he has it with him now.

ing he addressed in Lowell, Mass, in

expression on an order issued by the
manufacturers prohibiting any of their
employees voting for Butler for gov
ernor on q "ten hour ticket" The fol-
lowing extract is made from the gem
erals account of his speech:
Up to this time l had spoken in an
almost conversational tone, because a
whisper would have been heard in that
great assembly, so silent it was, went
on:

have been in charge. They have made
a mistake in the appeal to force. When
that weapon is tried they are weak and
you are strong. They have their mills
and machinery, their bricks and their
mortar, and that is the extent of their
power"
And then my voice rang out as it car
do on occasion: "You are stronger thar
they. You have your right arms and
your torches, and by them we will blot
out this accursed outrage.
