A LIQUOR SEIZURE.
The Palace Hotel Now in
the Tolls.
A Charge of Illegal Rectifying and a
Prospect of Heavy Fine and
imprisonment.

AS sequel to the detention of large
quantity of liquor by the Internal Revenue
authorities at the Baldwin Hotel. comes
another story of a seizure at the Palace.
The whole affair is something If mys-
terry so far. as none of the hotel employees
appear to be aware of the occurrence.
A hint of the affair leaked out last night.
and as no information could be gathered at
the hotel, reporter called upon Collector
Quinn at his private residence and inquired
as to what truth there was In it.
Mr.. Quinn showed much surprise when
approached on the subject. and said
"Why. how ever did you find it out? l
thought that no one but the actual parties
present at the time knew anything of it.
Since you are aware of it, l will give yOu
the facts, as, # the affair is to be published,
it might as well be authentic.
The charge against the Palace Hotel is
somewhat different from that which was
pending against the Baldwin.
"Mr. Baldwin being disiiler had GER
tain privileges in the matter of handling
his stock which a mere retailer has not

II received information that the law was
being violated in the hotel cellar We
visited the place, and as result of our
observations seized about 400 gallons of
whisky, gin and brandy, together with
various tubs instruments and chemicals,
and coloring liquids. There was uudoubted
evidence that mixing and rectifyng spirits
was going on in a wholesale manner. The
goods mentioned we're taken possession Of
by the revenue officers, and the revenue
seal placed upon the door of the cellar
which they were in.
The charge is one of false rectifYing and

BECKER,S BAD MEMORY.
He Does Not Know How He Spent a
Fortune in Two Years.


In Justice Cooks court yesterday o. w.
Becker. against whom there are number
OF judgments, was ND on an examination for
contempt.
Various means have been tried to ascer-
tain where Becker has made away with his
property, but without success. Attorney
Desbeck made desperate attempt yester-
day to extort from Becker some informa-
tion as to the money he had some time ago,
but he had his work for his pains.
When placed on the stand Becker stated
that he only had 10 cents in his pocket, yet
he had every appearance of prosperity.
He made the same statement when pre-
viously on the stand. Under strong cross
examination it was learned that Becker
had recently a ranch in Suffer County.
This he mortgaged foE $1,000 to the Hum
boldt Bank. On the same property he hnr
rowed $4,000 from Marx Sheldon and $500
from Mrs Mary Stevenson. lie also Dor
rowed $3.50 from widow and various other
amounts.
In all he had Obtained during the last two
years the sum Of $1,000
The attorneys tried hard TO find out what
he had done with the money, but lie did not
remember anything. All he would say was
that he had spent IL in living. He never
kept any books aud had no receipts or
vouchers.
"You must have lived high" was said.
Yes, pretty high"
"Ihen YOU are high roller"

say.

1t is grand jubilee of revenge upon one
Louis Pierre Marie Bourbon. author OF

defiance OF the freshmen for the sophomore
class.
Last year the contest became too strong

threatened by the faculty.
But Bourbon will be celebrated tonight
after all
Yesterday the president Of the sophomore
class received a letter from the president OF
the university warning the class as to lis
part. President Kellogg in substance SAID
The Bourbon burial ceremonies areiabout
to be celebrated, and the precedent OF past
sophomore classes needs tn be carefully
guarded against. Where attacks upon the
freshmen nave taken the nature OF danger,
besides presenting the university students
in a disreputaDle light, they are condemned
by the faculty.
"The present celebration is a test case to
determine whether the custom shall be con-
tinued or not. Any disreputable action on
the part of the sOphomOres will be considered
misdemeanor or stronger oHense, and be

Alfred Fl. Burton, the young broker who
was arrested about week ago for threat
enlng to kill his cousin, Miss Jennie Har-

ted to the Stockton Insane Asylum.
The unfortunate young man is son OF
eX-Superylsor Burton, and until recently
was engaged In the real estate business.
When before the Commissioners yester-
day he showed every evidence of being in
sane. His face was pale and cadaverous
and his eyes sunken and vacant, while his
whole manner was that Of one who has lost
the thread of reason.
The principal witness against young Bur
ton was Miss HARDWOOD, his cousin, who
lived in the same house with Mr.. and Mrs.
Burton, the parents of the young man. The
young lady was terribly affected by the con-
dition of her cousin, and told her story in a
voice hardly above a whisper. She stated
that Burton had been acting queerly for
some time, but that 1t was only thee
months ago that lie began to exhibit clear
signs OF being mentally insane. Suddenly
he quit work one day aud began to boast OF
being rich man. lie would remain in bed
all Cay and go out in the night, not return
Ing until o'clock in the morning. He
would give no account of his absence.
Then he began TO grow violent, uatil her
life became a torture, and to use vile lam
guage and make desperate threats. OF

wood is sample:
