On q Ranch Near san Josc,: Cal.-His
Shortage, Due to Error. Made Good.
PoRr ANGELES. Feb. 3.-[Sperial. ]-Ex-
City Marshal P. A. Meagher has been
heard from. He is at present st or near
San jose. Cal, where he has leased q
ranch from the estate of Mr.. Hearney.
He sent his resignation as city marshal to
his wife. who had the same presented to
the city council last evening. The short
age in his accounts was made good by his
wife, being something like 500. 1t APP
pears that the stubs Of his tax hooks were
stolen or had been lost, and it Is claimed
that the shortage is an error arising from
this cause, Mr.. Meagher not being able to
tell just what sums he had collected, as
several items had not been fled on his
book.
1t appears that his wife know he in
tended to go as far as Portland when he
left here and that he left for the purpose
of accepting a position with Mr.. Hearney,
a wealthy brewer of California. When
Mr.. Meagher got as far as Portland he
found that Mr.. Hearney had departed tor
San Jose, leaving word for Meag.ler to fol-
low, which he did, but when he reached
San Jose he found Mr.. Hearney had sud-
denly died. However, his widow offered
Mr.. Meagher position which he decided
to accept. Hence he will hereafter reside
in California. Although many ugly things
are said about Mr.. Meagher by his
enemies, all to his discredit, vet che above
version of his sudden departure is gener-
ally accepted as true, the more go for the
reason that he was generally liked and is
of prominent family.

because the Christian people OF the United

Who Is tho Purchaser.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Feb. 81 Special. l.
Considerable interest is MANIFESTED here
over the reported sale of the Great Falls &
Canadian railway and coal mines to the
Canadian Pacific. The local officials
of the former road say they know
nothing about it. 1t is gell-known
fact that either the Canadian Pacific OF
Great Northern would like to- have con-
troll of the property if the same could be
procured at bargain price. Rsimors Of a
combine between the two great companies
in order to freeze out the snsaller roads
have been frequently circulatets ever since
the Great Falls IL Canadian was built, in
1890. It is connecting line be-
tween the systems fortsiing the
Great Northern at this soint and
the Canadian Pacific at Dut.more, and
is bound to become a desirable piece OF
property in time. 1t is narrow gauge, but
could be broadened at a reasonable cost.
From here to Lethbridge. N. w. T., a dis
lance of nearly 300 miles, it is called the
Great Falls & Canadian. From g.ethbridge
to Dunmoore, about ninety nsiles, it is
operated under the name Of the Alberta
Railway Company.
Both roads were constructed to afford q

that the Canadian Pacific has secured con.

TIE HEATH TRIAL.

Intense Interest Developing A spat
Between Counsel.
FRESNO, June 20.-Intense interest is
developing in the Heath trial. The
prosecution is still introducing evidence
OF the immediate circumstances sur
rounding the death of McWhirter. A
tilt in court between Foote and Johnson
has aroused considerable public feeling.
Foote, speaking of the evidence of ex-
Policeman Welch, then on the stand,
characterized IL as the statement of a
cunning villain and perjured thief,
Johnson scored Foote for the language
used, and Foote responded in kind.
Judge Holmes admonished counsel to
observe due decorum, which Foote re-
sented.
Officers F. F. Babcock and Thomas
Welch testified to hearing shots and
screams, and went to the scene of the
killing. They Identified pistols, clubs
and mask found and testified to ten
nis-shoe tracks to and from McWhir-
ter's back yard in the alley, which were
lost on hard ground and straw in the
alley.
Weleh testified that he had seen
Heath in Chinatown the night of the
murder with aChinaman, and said he
heard Heath say to the Chinaman,
tWe will do him.
