SUPPOSED INCBNDIARISM
Trouble Among Walnut Grove Ten

Trouble Among Walnut Grove Ten
ants-A Barn burned.
There is considerable excitement about
Walnut Grove just now over a supposed
case of incendiarism.
1t appears that on Tuesday morning a
barn on Frank Deball's place, some two
miles south Of Walnut Grove, was
burned, together with a large quantity Of
hay and farming implements.
Mr. Deball was in this city at the time
of the fire, being under the care of a ply
sician. and during his absence things
have not been going on satisfactorily at
the ranch. 1t appears that there has been
some trouble between him and certain of
his tenants, and that the latter have had
their own quarrels among themselves
These difficulties have given rise to a
suspicion that the fire was the result OF
incendiarism. One OF the tenants was
arrested during DebalPs absence on a
charge-preferred by sneigh bor-of steal
ing the latter's hay; boy is under arrest
on charge of malicious mischief, and the
housekeeper for Deball is also charged
with some trit1ing infraction of the law
These cases were all set tor trial before
the Township Justice at Walnut Grove
yesterday, and Assistant District Attor-
ney Jones wen down there to conduct
the prosecution.

He VIII Work for the State at Folsom
for Two Years.
Henry Lagier appeared before Judge
Johnson yesterday morning for sentence,
he having been convicted of grand lar
ceny for robbing Auguste Cestmat of $i75
The men who are confined in the Jail
have had "a picnic" with Lagier since
his return, and he did not look upon his
late escape with as complacent feelings as
he evidently regarded it just after his
capture and return to the Jail. They had
succeeded in impressing him with the be-
lief that by escaping he had added sew
eral years to his prospective imprison-
ment.
1t was with a very sicllly smile and a
pale face, therefore, that he stood up
when the court asked him if he knew Of
any reason why sentence should not be
pronounced on him. As he answered in
the negative, Judge Johnson proceeded
to say that he had intended to make his
sentence light, but in view of his conduct
while confined in the Jail he should
make it materially heavier.
AS the court proceeded Lagier's jaw
dropped, and it was evident he was men
tally calculating whether he would get
of with twenty years or be sentenced tor
forty. 1t was with a sigh of relief, there
fore, that he heard Judge Johnson wind
up by saying that he would sentence him
to Imprisonment in Folsom State Prison
for two years. He considers himself
very lucky, and says if he had had any
any idea his sentence would be so light
he would never have broken Jail.
He will be taken up to Folsom to-day
by one Of the deputies.

The exhibit was furnished by the Shasta
Lumber Company, and was loaded at
Anderson by the Shasta County Worlds s

Such tree, under average conditions,
ought to yield at least 1900 feet of lum-
