A GOLDEN SHOWER.
The Discoverer of tho Big Horn Rhine
Leaves n Fortune to a Shoemaker.

The Discoverer of tho Big Horn Rhine
Leaves Fortune to Shoemaker.
Patrick Ryan of this town, a shoemak-
er, single. 80 years of age, has received
notice of the death of his brother in Chi
cago. By his death he is the only heir.
1t was early in 1649 that James Ryan,
then young man, left Milford in COM
pany with Richard Quinlan and with
hundreds Of others went to the golden
gate to seek their fortune in the gold
fields of California.
They remained there for several years,
but the mine they worked in, although
rich in ore, was far from healthy and
was particularly bad for the eyes, sc
much 80 that young Ryan's eyes were
affected and he was forced to come east
to have them attended to, for he was al
most blind.
Young Ryan recovered his sight after
q few years, but the east was rather
tame for him, and again he went west
His second trip was to Colorado. Tie
silver fever had just broken out, and
Leadville was not known. Denver wa.
a town of few houses when James Ryar
arrived there with companion. They
were not long prospecting before they
struck mine that proved great find
They sold it for $1,000. This was the
first big money that Ryan ever made
although it was but small amount a.
compared with what he afterward made
In the mining world.
He remained but short time in Den
yer, when, in company with his partner
they went to Utah, where they prospect
ed for nearly year, but were only sue
cessful in getting small finds. They were
all about to bid Utah goodby when they
struck traces of silver, the ore provins
the finest they ever met with.
The seam was followed and proved
better than they ever dreamed they
would see. This was no other than the
Big Horn silver mine that they sold fol
81 100000.
The money was equally divided be
tween the partners. The money market
always had charm for Ryan, and hs
lost a great deal among the bulls an6
bears in Chicago. More than once ht
was tightly squeezed by old man Hutch
inson, who was in his prime in those
days.
But the hidden treasure beyond the
Rockies had charms also for him that he
could not overcome, and after losing
what to many man would be called a
good sized fortune he returned to his
old love Of adventure and prospecting.
Again he proved successful and be.
came the owner Of several mines that
brought him immense wealth.
Mr.. Ryan does not know the exact
amount of his brothers wealth, nor viii
he for few days to come. Mr.. Percy
Shea of Denver is to have charge Of set,

Certain OF the congregation asserted
that Mr.. Wight had been guilty of more
or less salacious conduct with some OF
the sisters in ths church, and it Was
stated that his resignation was de-
manded, given and accepted.
A portion oil the congregation, how
ever, it appears refused to believe Rev.
Wight guilty and staid by him, go that

started y Teaching on his own account
and drew unto him the church people
who still believed in him, 80 the follow

The following is the resolution by
which Mr. Wight was let out of his min
isterial job:
At meeting al the Christian church,
held at Los Angeles, CAL. this Goth day
of October, 1893, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, Frank A. Wight has been
the regular miniater OF the Central
Christian church in this city for the
year just passed, and
Whereas, The said F. A. Wight was
forced to resign rs minister of said
church on account OF his unchristian
conduct toward certain members of this
and other congregations in Southern
California, and
Whereas, He has walked in an un-
ruly and unchristian-like manner by
conducting a meeting within q ehort
distance OF the Central church, with
no other apparent object in view than
to weaken or break down the eaid
church;
Now. therefore, be it resolved that the
Central Christian church withdraw
their fallowehip from said Frank A.
Wight. and that the clerk be instructed
to notify the several congregations in

BOLD BURGLAR ON TRIAL
HE HAD A PENCHANT FOR MILE
AGE TICKETS.
A. Failing on Trial for Burgiary-He IL
Declared to Be the Author of
Series of Burgiaries-The
Evidence Yesterday.

A. Failing was on trial yesterday be-
fore Judge Smith and jury in depart.
ment one, upon charge of burglary.
Failing is gentlemanly, good-looking
young fellow, who. on October 2lst, last,
was residing at the Hollenbeck hotel.
From the evidence adduced yesterday
it appears that ON the morning of the
2lst, Failing entered Dufin's ticket
Office, on Spring street, and offered a
mileage ticket for sale.
w. Bolen, the clerk, noticed that the
ticket was made out to l.. Sehranz, and
knowing Mr.. Schranz, questioned Fail.
ing as to how the ticket came into his
possession. Failing acknowledged that
the ticket had formerly belonged to
Schranz, but declared that he had won
it from that gentleman during poker
sitting.
He was then told to leave the tickot
at the store and return for the money.
Mr.. Bolan testified yesterday that aa
soon as Failing left the store, he went
over to the Hollsnbeck, where Mr..
Schranz was staying, and acquainted
Mr.. Schranz then searched his room,
and found that it had been entered, and
the ticket stolen.
Detective Bosqui was given the case
and arrested Failing few days later.
Failing denied all knowledge of the
matter and denied knowing Schranz or
ever having attempted to sell the ticket.
He was searched by Bosqui at the po'
lice station and a pass key found on
him, which was afterwards found to lit
the door of Schranz's room.
Failing swore that the key was that
of the room of young female acquaint-
ance, but who the lady was did not de-
veiop.
The case WAS continued yesterday at
the conclusion of the above evidence,
until this morning, Judge Smith having
taken certain of the defendants object
ions under advisement.
The ticket robbery was the last OF a
similar series of thefts which have oc-
cured at the Holenbeck hotel, and it Is
believed that in the arrest OF Failing
the perpetrstor OF the numerous rob-
berries has been secured.
In the prisoners valice were found
three more mileage tickets ON eastern
railroads, all OF which are made out to
different persona. The police believe
that these were all stolen by Failing,
who is declared to be a hotel worker of
the highest order.
