Preliminary Examination Commenced
Before Judge Campbell.

The preliminary examination of Nellie
Horton, charged with the murder of Charles
B. Hagans. was commenced before Judge
Campbell yesterday afternoon. Attorney
J. Z. Rogers appeared for the prosecution
and Attorney Reuben II. Lloyd for the
defense.
The courtroom was crowded, and imme-
diate friends of the defendant and MUIR
dered man were provided with seats near
the respective attorneys. The defendant
was neatly dressed in black, and after
Clerk Stevens had read the complaint and
she answered that her true name was
Nellie Horton, she never once raised her
eyes from the floor. Mrs. Hagans, the
murdered mans mother. sat behind AttoI-
ney Rogers, and seemed bowed down with
grief. Close to her sat her husband.
Attorney Rogers asked for continu-
ance, as he had not been able to read over
the evidence taken at the inquest. and he
wished to familiarZe himself with il, but

FISH FOR FOOD.
What the Commissioners
Did Yesterday.
An Action Has Been Instituted
Against the TruCkee Lumber
Company.

The Fish and Game Commissioners met
yesterday afternoon and discussed several
important matters.
The complaint lodged against some of
the deputy commissioners. who had been
accused of overcharging the Chinese
shrim p-catchers, was dismissed, owing 10
lack of evidence to convict. Commls-
sioner Redding said that he had m made in
Vestigatlons and could not find any evil
dence to prove that the Chinese were being
overcharged; in fact. there had been no
complaint lodged by either white men or
Chinese against the deputies, and as a con-
sequence no action could be taken in the
matter by the Commissioners.
Mr.. Murdoch thought that the scarcity
OF shrimps was entirely owing to the fact
that the deputies were enforcing the law
80 far as the bag-net system of fishing was
concerned, hence the cry from those wto
have been purchasing shrimps from the
Chinese.
The Rogers tish-ladder. which has done
such valuable service in the rivers and
streams of Nova Scotia. has been ac-
cepted by the commission and IL future il
will take the place Of the ladders used
here in the past.
The 1ruckee Lumber Company, which
for many years has been dumping tons OF
sawdust into the Truckee River, and
thereby running the fishing of that stream.
was cautioned a few months ago by the
Commissioners to desist, or otherwise ac-
tion would be taken against the company
Immediately.
The lumber company laughed at the idea
of a suit being brought against it. and TO
harass the Commissioners addition al
quantities of hwdust and deleterlous mat
ter had been daily emptied into the beau
tiful mountain stream, causing death to
large numbers of edible fish.
Papers were served on the company on the
18Th inst, and the Commissioners say they
Will fight the mill-owners until they con-
clude to burn the sawdust as many other
companies, which have been notified by
the Commissioners, are now doing in many
parts Of the State.
The board has asked the Supervisors OF
SOlano and Contra Costa counties to adopt
some measures by an amendment to the
fish laws which will protect the slaughter
of small striped bass by fishermen who are
now catching tons of the food FISH in the
San Joaquin River by means of nets. the
meshes of which are too small for the is b
to 20 through.
Commissioner Mcdonald has written
from; Was hington, ID. c., that he will be
prepared to forward good supply Of fry
OF the laTge-mouth black bass to this State
when the Commissioners are prepared to
receive them.
Appllcatlons from various parts OF the
State for trout fry have been received, but
as Ills is not the season for the stocking OF
rivers the applicants will have to remain
%lthout nsh for few months.
commissioner Mills of Nevada was pres
ent at the meeting yesterday and said that
the only trouble which be has to contend
with IS Inc p1oTniscuous dumping of saw
Gust INTO the streams by the lumber COM
panies, which defy the law.

HER CAREER WAS WILD.
The Widow of DR.. Fuller Shocked
the Guests of the Palace.

The news from New York of the mar
riage of the divorced wife of DR.. Frazier
C. Fuller to Leicester Holmes recalls to
the minds of q great many of the people Of
San Francisco memories of the woman,
who was a guest at the Palace Hotel dur
ing the time her first husband was seeking
to secure divorce.
Originally Mrs. Holmes was Miss Lizzie
Mallard Hastings, daughter of S. c.
Hastings, a pioneer cl0thingdealer. and by
those who knew her she is described as
a woman of great personal attractiveness.
tall and stately, with luxuriant brown hair
and magnificent gray eyes. She had a
host of devoted admirers, and while here
she had in her train at one time or another
fully half of the m emil bers OF the jeunesse
doree. For a great part OF tho time she
remained at the Palace she was accom-
panied by an elderly aunt and a French
maid, but in her actions she resembed the
Countess Vesta, who SO lately flashed
across the social horizon.
Mrs. Fuller had the same fondness for
dinner parties and late hours and more
than once the good people at the big hos
telry on Market street were shocked by
her conduct. To all the gossip that W as
created by her conduct, however. she paid
not the slightest heed. and so long as she
paid her bills with an open hand and kept
reasonably within the bounds of pro-
priety no one in authority at the hotel
cared 10 interfere with her.

The colossal statue 'Bavaria, F" one of
the most beautiful as we'll as one OF the
largest categorical works of art in Europe,
was unveiled on Oct. 8, 1850, in the
presence of Kings Ludwig and Otto, the
queen of the former and vast multitude
of spectators. bavaria" was designed
by Schwanthaler, who was assisted in
his work by Lazarini, both working from
suggestions made by the king. The
metal (bronze) in the statue weighs
some few hundreds of pounds
over twenty tons, about five
tons more than had ever before been
melted in one furnace. AS it stands
today on its thirty-foot pedestal
the colossus is titantic Bayarian
maiden fifty-four feet in height, with
a gigantic lion crouched by her side.
The statue and pedestal combined are
eighty four feet IN height and the whole
being placed upon an emlnence rising
thirty feet above the surrounding coun-
try, puts the top of ''Bavaria's'' head ia
feet above the level of the city which she
seems to be vigilantly watching over. A

The director review for the week end
ing Aug. IA is as follows:
The week was four degrees cooler than
the average. The nights have now begun
to be quite cool. On the 10th, frost IN
the vicinity of Randolph, Rich county,
damaged potatoes, beans, etc.
There were light, scattering show
ers during the week, generally occurring
on either the 18th, 18th or 18th, or all OF
those dates. The weather on the whole
was good for growing crops, but not very
good for harvesting.
Harvest throughout the territory is In
various stages of progress. On dry
land fall wheat has been cut, and thresh-
ing is under way; on wet lands fall grain
is generally just ready to cut, and spring
grain is not ripe enough.
From all reports, light crop of grain
seems-to be the rule, and good yield the
exception. The northern sections sui
fered the most from the backward spring
and the protracted drought OF midsum-
mer. The reports from Willard county
appear to be the most favorable, and II
the rains of last week have not delayed
the harvest too much, the yield there will
be good. The prospect in Sewer, Emery
and Piute counties is also good. Potatoes
continue to thrive. The crop OF sugar
beets never looked SO good. They are last
nearing maturity, and only an exception
ally early frost could iniure them
The fruit crop is in its usual stage OF
advancement at this season, and is fairly
good. Clouds of grasshoppers on the
benches during the last two or three
weeks have done great injury to the Sec
ond crop of hay.
