SEARS AND THE SIREN.
He Had Ninety Dollars in an Inside
Pocket
When He Drank the Beer, But Hadn't
Cent When He Awoke the
Next Morning.

A young man named Ben r. Sears
yesterday caused the arrest of rather
pretty young woman on a charge of rob-
bing him of 800.
1t was the old story of a susceptible
youth being taken in by one of the side
walk sirens who are allowed to ply their
vocation so openly in and out Of season.
Sears says he had been employed on
the Haggin ranch, but had received funds
from his father in Troy, n. Y, with
which to pay his fare to the East, and that
he came to town with the intention OF
leaving on the overland express on
Wednesday, night.
1t was while strolling about the streets,
waiting till train-tilne, that he en-
countered the young woman.
He was so daZzled by her electric-light
beauty, and so tiattered at the thought
that he had so excited the SIRENS admira-
uon that she could overcome her
womanly modesty so far as to address
him on the street, that he consented to
accompany her to a room in lodging
house.
OF course drinks were in order, and the
stranger was dispatched to the nearest
saloon for pail of beer. When he re-
turned to the room the woman had
glasses ready and the amber-colored
beverage was disposed of.
Sears says he does lot know what oc-
Cured after that, except that he awoke
about O'Clock yesterday morning with
"a head on him" and minus the $50 he
had IN his pocket the night before. ON
the strength Of his story Officers Fitzger-
aid and Ahern made the arrest.
The woman gives her name as Worth
lngton, and says her husband is real
estate agent. II so, he must conduct his
business transactions on the sidewalk,
1or he has no Office and is unknown TO
the real estate dealing fraternity. He
was also locked up and charge of rob-
berry placed against the woman.
The officers claim to know that the
mans name is not Worthington at all
but Sill Carty; that he and his female
partner recently descended upon the city
from the metropolis of the Northwest,
and that their regular business is that of
robbing men just as Sears claims to have
been robbed.
The woman is putting on bold face,
and denies that she ever saw Sears. She
claims to have passed the night in com
pany with another man in the Union
Hotel, and it was not her husband
either. lnasmuch as Sears beer had
such somnolent effect on him that he
did not wake up until late in the morn
ing, there was nothing to hinder the
woman from deserting him and enjoying
the company OF some friend at another
place.
Sears was on a jag yesterday, and he,
too, was placed in the cooler, so that he
might be on hand at the trial of the siren
this morning.

Inquest Into the Wetzel Shoot
ing Partially Heard.

Coroner Clark began an inquest yester-
day in the matter Of the murder Of Special
Officer Wetzel by George Clark, alias
Barrett.
City Physician G. B. Nichols testified
that he made thorough examination of
Wetzers wound shortly after the shoot
ing, and found a gunshot wound on the
left side of the abdomen, and located and
removed the bullet from the outer side of
the right thigh, about ten inches below
the hip joint. Assisted by DIR. Hunting
ton he performed an operation and found
the course of the bullet was through the
pelvic bone, downward through the
middle of the thigh to the point where it
was removed. He should judge the
wound was made by a 38-caliber cart
ridge. Wetzel was operated on at 10 A.
NJ. on Monday, and died the following
morning, Tuesday, August %, 1893, at 2
A. NJ. The wound was of such a nature
that it was necessarily fatal. Having per
formed an operation, an autopsy or fur
ther examination he considered unneces-
sary.

shooting. When he and his companions
declined to discontinue their vocal selec-

Wetzel then interfered. saying he was an
officer and commanding Clark to put
away the pistol. Clark then shot Wetzel.

all with Fisher, corroborated his story in
every particular.
The inquest was not concluded owing
to the absence of Flossie Van Tassell.
who was with Clark just before and after
the shooting.
She had been summoned to appear, but
had ignored the CorOner's command.
The latter issued an order for her arrest,
and she was taken into custody in the af-
ternoon. The inquest will be resumed
this morning.

TINDALL DISCHARGED.
The Court Holds That He Had a Right
TO Dafend HintanIf

The Court Holds That He Had a Right
to Defend Himself.
Then he hit me on the head twice
with it,"
Such was the testimony of John Ad-
ans yesterday in the Police Court when
the case of John Tindall, charged with
assault with deadly weapon, was called
for hearing, and he was called to the
stand.
Adams testified that Tindall and he had
a dispute, and after some words they
clinched.
The affair happened in the rear of
Lash's drugstore. Tindan got free and
grabbed pestle from mortar that was
near, and struck him twice over the head.
The hrst time his hat partially saved his
head, the second time he was struck on
the forehead, cutting it. The dispute was
over bill of goods, and witness called
lIndalI liar. He did not strike at Tin
dali first.
Iindall swore that he travels for Lash on
commission. Adams came in on the day
OF the trouble and spoke about bill of
goods. Adams called him q --I lying
Witness was sitting down,
and as he rose up Adams struck at him.

IN seIt-defense. After Lash separated
them, Adams came at him again and
struck at him. Witness had the iron
pestle in his hand at the time He
warded off Adams first blow. and struck
him at the time of his first attack.
/. NJ. Lash testified that he and Tin
dali were sitting together arranging some
business when Adams came in and asked
for his goods and said he wanted them.
Iindall told him that he could not have
them. Adams called him liar, and when
Tindall rose up struck at him. Lash sep
arated them, but they got together again,
and Tindall struck him with the pestle
Adams ran out after he was struck the
second time. They both seemed anxious
to fight.
Henry Waterman testified to about the
same facts.
George Bingay saw the difficulty but
could not testify as 10 the blows struck at
first After the first blow with the pestle
Adams staggered and partly turned and
the second blow struck him on the side of
the head.
The court said that the evidence showed
that Adams was the aggressor and that
Tindall had right to defend himself. He
therefore discharged him.

Judge Buckley said it was clearly the
case that the defendant had violated the
Vagrant Act, and he therefore found
him guilty.

state of affairs with regard 10 Charles

murdered Special Officer HVetzel.

SUFFER- AND YOLO.
They WrestIe With the State Board of
Equalization.
How the Sacramento and Feather
Rivers Flooded Them With Water
and slippery slickens.

The morning session of the State Board
of Equalization was consumed in listen
ing to the statement of Sutter County Off
cials as to the cause of reduction in the
assessment roll in that county.
Assessor a. A. McRea, District Attor-
ney A. c. Mclaughlin, Supervisors w.
L. Hoke, P. L. Bunce, L. d. Nash and
John Burns, backed by George Ohleyer,
sat down before the equalization fort with
a determination to capture it if possible.
In answer to an invitation from Chair
man Morehouse to explain the reason
why the assessment had decreased, AS
SCISSOR AIcRea stated that in consequence
Of the floods in that section near Nicolaus
and the Rideout beak above, there had
been falling off of nearly $4,000, which
is more than the decrease in the whole
county.
Horses and cattle have fallen in value
% to 30 per cent, and many have been
sent into other counties on account of the
floods.
The subsidence of the Sutter City boom
had also left paper city to be once more
assessed as acreage. These three causes,
he said, made the deficit in the roll.
While some orchard land had increased
in value, he thought most of it had de-
creased 25 per cent. He had assessed
farming land as high as $50 per acre, and
Guba City orchard lands at $3.50.
The sipage water has killed a number
of the finest orchards. and those OF the
Feather River Orchard Company, which
were outside the levee, are covered by a
deposit of white sand and killed. Some
OF the best lands are covered with sand to
the depth of five feet covering up the
picket fences.
oHLEYER TALKS.
George Ohleyer stated that although the
Assessor had conclusively proved to the
board that the assessment should not be
raised, he had asked for no reduction. He
(Ohleyer) was of the opinion it should be
reduced. He knew of 5000 acres in one
body which were covered with sand from
a few inches deep up to several feet, and
is practically destroyed.
On his own farm near Yuba City he
will not make enough to pay the taxes.
The levee tax this year will probably be
one and half cents.
WANTED SAN FRANCISCO RAISED.
One of the Supervisors present said that
II the board would raise San Francisco's
assessment fifty per cent. it would then
be on an equality with the rest of the
State.

swear you, and let you tell what you
know of San Francisco assessments"

hour yesterday morning and said that two

The old man said he encountered the
two men east of the depot and near the
end of the Third-street bridge. They at
tempted to engage him in conversation,
but he was suspicious of them and started
to 60 away, when they pounced upon
him, threw him down, beat him and then
ritied his pockets.
They threatened to kill him if he re-
ported the case TO the police, and for some
time after the occurrence he neglected to
do so. He described one OF the men as
