The case was continued, to be heard in
San Francisco next Tuesday. Judge Levy
returned to San Francisco this afternoon.
The search for the record of baptism of
a son of Chris Ryer's mother has proved
frutless. The record offered was the
baptismal certificate of John Neary. son of
Dolores, but no connection was made to
Identify Chris Ryer as the child.
The witnesses called for respondents
proved good ones for the contestants. One
OF them, Superintendent Whale of the
Cemetery Association here, testified that
he kept hotel here in 1856, and then heard
of Chris Ryer as son of DR.. Ryer. The
air was about as full of that story about
DIR. Ryer as it was of malaria in those days,
the witness said. and he was excused.
Counsel for the petitioner wanted all
the witnesses called, because they ex-

one of them, and offered to produce all the
witnesses. They were not called. how

RALPH coNKLlN's HERoIsM.
Saves Chinaman's Life at the Risk
of His Own.


SAN DIEGO. May 10.-A rare act of hero
ism is reported of Ralph Conklin, son of
n. Ii. Conklin, one of the city's lawyers.
The young man is managing his fathers
ranch in Sweetwater Valley, where a few

well. C0nkln was working the windlass

of twenty feet the Chinaman struck a
stratum of rock, ana drill was used to
make hole for basting-po owder. Alter
the dynamite sticks were inserted the
Chinaman was ordered to attach fuse
and, as soon as he had lighted it, to step
into the empty bucket and be drawn uT.
All went we'll TO this last move, when his
weight on the rope caused it 10 break n
few inches from the ground. COnkln
called 10 him to seize the dangling rope and
be drawn up, bnt, paralYZed with the hoT-
Tor of fearful death, the fellow was un-
able to move or speak. COnkiin realized
that in another moment his man would be
blown TO bits unless the fuse could be re-
moved, and that in attempting TO remove ii
he would risk his own life, but down he
slid on the rope with superb courage, and,
seizing pick. dug the fuse out Just in time
to prevent its reaching the dynamite.

No town in the South is attracting the
attention Of Northern people to q greater
extent than Is Lake Charles Every week
letters are received from parties making
inquiries 10 regard to soil, climate, schools,
prices OF real estate, heslthfuluess, and other
matters Of interest to people desirous of
locating In the south. Last week We received
. letter from capitalist Of Cleveland, Ohio,
DESTROYS Of loaning money on approved real
estate, stating that IL was dlflcul5 to obtain
even ak per cent, for money on the best
security in the east, and making inquiries ae
to rates OF interest, titles 10 real estate, the
laws in regard to the collection of debts, etc.
For the benefit Of our eastern friends
generally, we would state that large
amount Of money could be loaned on gilt
edge security at rates varying from seven to
twelve per cent, the time and amount gov
erning the rate, small sums for one year or
less bringing the higher rates. The laws for
the collection Of debt are very favorable to
the creditor, much more so than in most of
the western states. or course we have
some defective titles here, as what country
has not; but these are the exception, and
plenty OF unquestioned and unquestionable
titles covering nine-tenths Of the realty In the
parish, invite the capitalist who may wish to
loan his money or buy lands on speculation.
