ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart Of Tehama County, for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre. in subdivisions of
40, so, 100, l60 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecially adapted for fruit growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50
an acre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands TO actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

They saw Officer Bob Ash there and said
they could prove by him that they were
on Seventh street when Doane (Damon)
was picked up in the alley.
STILL ANOTHER.
Reed was not disposed to tell anything
more than he had promised to disclose to
save himself.
He was asked if ever Manuel or Dick
Strauss had said word TO him about the
murder OF barber named Phillaber at
DavlsVille couple of years ago.
That's another case.'' exclaimed Reed.
Being pressed to answer, he said: II
saw tho gun they claimed done the work.
Manuel said that it was the gun that
killed the --a- Ten minutes
later he was arrested, just after he showed
me the gun. i killed the ---
with this thing Manuel told me, as he
pulled out the gun and showed IL. be
mentioned no name. but | learned after
ward that it was Phillaber. Manuel and
Kate Cooper were both arrested for kill
ing Doane, but got out after three or four
days, just by keeping their mouths shut.
Kate only stayed a few days after that
and left. She claimed to have married
and gone south, or TO Colorado, and no.
body has heard of her since. Chief Dill
man ordered Manuel and her to get out
of town."
LIGHT-FINGERED MoLLIE.
Some time after the murder, Reed said,
that he and Mollie Jones went TO Stockton.
n party of Sacramento people were en-
Joylng themselves IN one box in the In
dependent Restaurant while he and Mol
lie, who had just got out of Jail, were in
another. When they came out to the
cash counter they were complaining about
the size OF their check, 81 80, but they saw
drunken man place $40 piece on the
counter with a check. Mollie picked
| them both up and then they paid the
81 90. "We made our expenses right
there" said Reed as he related the cir
cumStance.
Reed insisted that he was not sin on
the divides OF the plumber taken from
Damon. He said further that he had not
seen Damon's face at all, and denied that
he had any hand in mixing the deadly
draught that first dazed Damon and then
threw him into sleep from which he
never awakened.
Captain Bradley asked Reed how it
came that he had buried the secret OF
Damon's death for more than four years
before telling it. Reed said that he didn't
want to be considered stool pigeon. Il
know whole lot" he remarked signif-
cantly, land / have been afraid they'd
Kill me. l know they wouldn't mind
cutting my throat no more than if 1 was
a dog" He said that after they had
threatened him and made his life miser-
able, and after he learned that they were
in Jail and that Officer Gibson knew
something of the crime, he determined to
tell all he knew.
