At the Recistrar,a.

Quietness reigned supreme within the
precincts of the Registrars Office at the
City Hall yesterday. The watchers sat
patiently cycling the vaults containing the
all-important ballot-papers and two stall

TO watch the watchers.
Shortly before O'Clock last night Regis

THE DvsERT BLOOMING

The Story Told by Two Arrivals From
the Indian Wells Country.
From the following, taken from the
Yuma Sentinel, it appears probable
that the Salton sea may put in an ap-
pearance again:
j. s. Carter and w. McC. Labron
returned from their trip into the Indian
Wells country Sunday. They were very
successful in finding their cattle and
horses, which had strayed off to the
westward. They found grass and water
in abundance, and said that one would
not know the great desert, it is 80 we'll
covered with flowers, calite, grass and
underbrush. 1t looks like great rich
valley, showing what the arid region
will become with plenty of water for
irrigation.
The present high water is filling the
New river canal system bank full. Car.
ter river is running large full stream
toward Salton. South branch is doing
the same towards Indian Wells. The old
lakes are all filling up again, with the
water that passes to the westward from
the Colorado through the crevasse ol
last year. The old Padrones river up
which Converse and Clarke came two
weeks ago, is running full of water and
is out OF its banks in many places as il
was in '55, '62 and last year.

News Notes and Personals from That
Thriving Suburb.
Revival meetings are now in progress
in University M. E. church. Every
evening this week, except Saturday,
there will be a service of prayer and
song. The intense interest taken in the
Mills meetings has rendered these
meetings necessary to gather in the
eheaves that were harvested there for
Christ. DR.. Williams breaches Tuesday
evening, and DR.. Campbell Of First
church will preach Wednesday evening.
The University baseball club will play
the Riverside team again next Saturday
afternoon under the nomenclature Tufts

1t has been learned that the suspected
man has gone under several names in
this county, Bryant and Williamson be-
ing among the aliases he has assumed.
IL has also been ascertained that Gran
dall's real name was Newman, but he
was adopted while very young by a
wealthy family in Buffalo, who gave
MIN their name of Crandall.
After the arrest Chief Glass imme-
ulately communicated with the authori-
ties in Buffalo, and it was found that
curing the time when it was thought
Crandall was still alive he had been in
dicted by the grand jury at Buffalo upon
q charge of grand larceny, there being
i've counts in the indictment. A
requisition was arranged for and De-
tective Diebl of Buffalo, who knew
Crandall was sent to Los Angeles to
identify and take the prisoner back east.

reach the city today. a telegram having
been received from him yesteld day from

The wife is still living in Buffalo, and
1t seems very strange that she and the
missing man should never have come
together to enjoy their winnings from
the insurance companies. When ar
rested he had very little money, and
seems to have led very simple life out
in this country. He talks very little
and is cloee as an oyster about his past
life.
Among the singular incidents of this
remarkable case is that a man was
arrested in Shasta county in 1888, who
80 strongly resembled the missing man
that he was arrested and taken back to
New York, where it was found that he
was not the right man.

Mr.. La Pierce further stated that he

which he is entitled.
Mr.. La Pierce has in his possession a
copy of his fathers will, certified to on
October 3, 1890, by Manuel Fuentes,

there has been due Mr.. La Pierce since
the death of his father the sum of $685.

THE DERKEE CASE.
Judge Van Dyke Decides an Interesting
Point.

Judge Van Dyke Decides an Interesting
Point.
Judge Van Dyke has sustained the de-
murrer in the case of Harry Philip vs. J..
E. and Jennie Durkee, guardian of J. E.
Durkee, an insane person.
The Judge in substance says: "The de-
fendant, Jennie V. Durkee, demurs to
the complaint on the grounds:
sFirst-That the complaint does not
state facts sufficient to constitute q cause
of action in favor of the plaintiff and
against said defendant.
I" Second-A misjoinder of parties de-
fendant, i'll that the defendant demur-
ring is improperly united with J. E..
Durkee as party defendant and that
this defendant is not interested in the
subject of the action or in any way liza
BILE therein
s'It appears from the complaint that
Jennie Durkee, defendant, is made a
defendant solely upon the ground that
she is alleged to be the general guardian
of the person and estate Of the other de-
fendant. When an infant or an insane
or incompetent person is party he
must appear either by his general guar
dian or by guardian ad litem appoint
ed by the court in which the action is
pending in either case.' %. G., p. 372.)
This summons must be served by deliv-
ering a copy. If against person resid-
ing within this state who has been ju-
dicially declared to be of unsound mind
or incapable Of conducting his own
affairs, and for whom guardian has
been appointed, to such person and also
to his guardian. 20. c., p. 4l1.)
tit would not be necessary to provide
specially that the guardian OF an incom-
petent or insane defendant should also
be served if such guardian were neces.
sary or proper party and must be made
a defendant with the insane or incom.
petent person, because every party de-
| fendant must be served (unless he vol.
UNFAIRLY appears), in order to give the
court Jurisdiction over him.
"There is no cause of action in thif
case against defendant Jennie V. Durkee
and she is not a necessary or proper
party. Demurrer sustained"

THE CYCLONE BURGLAR.
GEORGE GIBSON HAS HIS ExAMINA-
TION YESTERDAY.
Strong Testimony Against the Notorious
Safe Cracker-His Story About
the Broken Watch.

The preliminary examination OF George
Gibson, alias LAWN and McDermott, took
place before Justice Stanton yesterday
afternoon. Joseph P. Sylvia and his son
of Wilmington testified to their grocery
store being broken open at Wilmington,
the safe blown on May 9TH, and two
watches and $50 taken.
Ralph Hawkins, sailor, testified to
having seen Gibson in Wilmington
shortly prior to the robbery near Sylva's
store. Timothy Rowan told OF his black
smith shop being burglarized and q
crowbar, brace and sledgehammer taken,
which were found at Sylva's store after
the robbery. Antonio Gonzales identi-
fed the broken fragments of gold
watch which Gibson sold to a Main
street jeweler, and Harry Oppenheimer
testified to meeting Gibson in this city,
and the latter told him he was railroad
man and was here adjusting freights.
He was with young man whom he
called Charley Lewis or Lewis.
Deputy Sheriff Clancy testified that
he was in charge of Julius Walkers
jewelry store when Gibson came in and
sold the fragments of the gold watch,
saying his little boy had broken them.
Clancy at once notified the sheriff of the
suspicious circumstances, and Deputies
Russell and Will Smith arrested him.
Clancy must accordingly be given plenty
of credit in conjunction with this inn
portant capture.
T. H. Bluett testified that Gibson and
young man had stopped at his house
for several nights. Will Smith, the
Southern Pacific detective, had talk
with Gibson in company with
Deputy Russell, and Gibson said he
had got the broken watch from q man
in cellar where there was music, and
was promised 81 if he sold it. He
claimed to have shipped his baggage to
Fort Worth, from which he alleged he
recently came, and admitted he had
been jailed in Iowa for burglary; also
that the kid who was with him was
'gafter"-thief-and q dipper-pick-
pocket. He said the party who was in
the safe blowing job with him in Iowa
was Charley Wilson, q notorious crook.
Deputy Russell testified to substantially
the same facts. and the case was con-
tinued until this afternoon.
During the entire examination Gibson
--or, rather, McDermott-sat with an
impassive countenance in the dock, with
his hands folded. and did not ask the
witnesses single question. 4
