HYDRAULIC MONITORS.
Manager Wilbur of the State Anti
Debris Association
Declares They Are at Work in Def
ance of the Law-Synopsis of
His Monthly Report.

Ata meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Anti-Debris Association yes
terday morning, Manager Wilbur ofthe as
soclation submitted his report for the past
month. 1t shows that all the defendants
in the case of Yuba County against the
Kate Hayes Mining Company and others
have been served with processes, and
have filed demurrers through their attor-
neys, and also that the injunction issued
remains in full force.
In the case of Yuba County against the
Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company,
A. s. Bigelow, the former Superintendent
of the company, has been caught in the
act of mining by the hydraulic process.
also, in the case of Yuba County against
James Orcutt and others, Jas. 4. Hustler,
Joseph Hustler and w. A. Hustler have
been detected in mining by the hydraulic
process, in violation of the injunction.
These parties have all been cited to ap-
pear in contempt proceedings before
Judge Davis OF Yuba and Sutter, on
Thursday morning next. K. L. Devlin
will appear in court to represent the as
| sociatlOn's interests.
| The manager also reports that an in
junction has been served on James Stew
mine, and that a very bitter feeling exists
in that vicinity against anyone who is
known to be a Watchman from the valley
| counties. However he had, on January
Is, 1898, sent up n. ClOwser, Deputy
Sheriff of Yuba County, and Henry Alter
as watchmen i'll the vicinity of Gold Run
and the American River, and they are
now there.
The hydraulic miners claim, he said,
that the prosecution of their industry
gives employment to large numbers of
men, but he had undoubted information
which showed that the Cinnamon were
! the ones who did the greater portion of
! the illicit mining now being done there,
and they not only continue to bury the
white settlers in the valley under their
sLckens, but they even refuse to leave in
California the gold they receive for their
work Of destruction, but send or take it to
| China.
| He stated that Investigations are being
made with view of ascertaining whether
any hydraulic mining is being carried on
on the upper Sacramento River or Cot
tonwood Greek.
| The association decided to present a
memorial to the Legislature, giving the
present status of hydraulic mining and
expressing the objects of the State Anti
debris Association pending any contem-
plated legislation.
The manager asked for the advice and
| counsel of the whole committee on some
propositions and received from them in
structions how to act upon them.
| The examination of the accounts and
| the details of the associaton's work con-
| Sumed the remainder of the session and
! an adjournment was had till the Febru-
ary meeting.

to me. That is, 1 did not know il was so
general. [ knew few, especially of the
lady clerks, were much interested in the
churches, but when have seen the clerks
in blocks of twenty-five or more starting
for Sunday morning ride into the
country on their "'cycles" it did not
occur to me that they had such strong
desire TO attach themselves to the vari-
GUS churches"
can see the connection between ''six
O'Clock closing" and Thursday evening
prayer meeting or any service on the
weekday evenings, but l can not see
how it bears on the Sunday services.
Is this desire on the part of the ''500''
to attend the prayer meeting?
The interest in the Sunday services
hardly justifies this conclusion. I am a
little afraid the $500 are coquetting with
us. They seem 10 be edging up to us
very lovingly and soliciting our infiu-
ence in the 6 o'clock closing movement,
but | am afraid if we help them they will
not ''attach themselves to the various
churches" nor take their own medicine
''by refraining from doing any trading
after the hour Of s P. NJ. with any one
whomsoeyer," that including the saloon
keepers. SKEPTIC.

Now, if those merchants who do not
close at o'clock are 'grasping, grovel-
ing, narrow minded storekeepers," what
terms shall we use to describe those who
do not close at 9, nor II, nor at all?
ou ask us TO boycott certain firms
that refuse to close at q. If we join you
IN this, will you join US in boycotting the
saloons after 62
The poor, tired clerks who have been
on their feet all day would have much
more rest and sleep if the saloons were
closed at 6.
And then think of those who are kept
up all night in the saloons to barter fire
wafer :! There must be "500' of these,
ana they ought to steep tg the night.
NOW, II the church people help you in
your fight with the "gTasping, groveiihg

should spend your evenings in patroniz-
ing these saloon-keepers who are SO
''grasping" and "groveling'' that they do

selves, and that would never do.

SUICIDE, Or ACCIDENT?
Clare S. GaIIigan Found Dead in
His Room.
A Pistol Bullet In His Brain-No
Known Reason for His Com
mitting suicide.

A young man named Clare S. Galligan
shot himself through the head yesterday
afternoon at lodging house on NJ street,
between Eighth and Ninth.
The bullet entered his right temple,
and evidently death was instantaneous.
He entered the house and went to his
room about o'clock in the afternoon,
and about an hour later pistol shot was
heard.
When an attempt was made to enter his
room the door, although unlocked, could
not be opened, and entrance to the room
was made by way of a window by Officer
Lowell and others.
The horrifying discovery was then
made of the young man lying in front OF
the mirror. with his head against the
door, which prevented it's being opened.
A 3S-caliber bulldog pistol lay at his side,
and blood was streaming from wound
in his temple.
From all that could be learned, CALI
gan was young man of steady habits,
about Is years of age, and was last en-
ployed at the Capital Box Factory. He
has had no regular employment, how
ever, since November last. but was al
ways in apparently good spirits and not
given to dependency.
1t is stated by friend that he lately
purchased the pistol, and that the cart
ridges did not fit the weapon. He thought
that in experimenting with it Galligan
may have shot himself by accident.
At the house it was learned that he ate
his dinner at the customary hour, and
nothing unusual was noticeable in his ap-
pearance or demeanor.
The remains were taken in charge by
the Coroner and removed to the morgue.
Gailigan was a native of Sacramento
County, and has relatives in Los Angeles.
He was a member of Company E, First
Artillery Regiment.
Owing to the position of the body-it
being in front of the bureau mirror-and
the location of the wound, it was thought
at the Coroner's Office that the shot was
fired purposely, but thus far there is no
reason known therefor, while there is a
possibility that the pistol was accident
ally discharged.

Farmer Gardeners Sad Experience as
Both Plaintiff and Counsel.
A COW case was heard in Judge Henry's
court yesterday which was like the kind
''we read Of" but which seldom materi
alize. The testimony showed that Esau
Gardiner of F'lorin sold a cow to George
Lewellyn, butcher, for $lO telling him
she would make good beef.
Lewellyn swore that when Gardiner
left her at the slaughter house she could
hardly stand up, and that she lay down
in the field for day and night, unable
to get up. AS Gardiner did not take her
away, he killed her and fed her to the
hogs, as she was unfit for human food.
He refused to pay for her, and hence the
suit.
Gardiner conducted his own case. ask
ing questions and branching off into ar
guments thereon before the witnesses
could answer. The Judge could not re-
strain him, and as news OF the ''circus',
spread up and down the street the court
room was soon crowded with spectators,
who laughed till their sides were sore.
The Judge labored to preserve fitting
gravity of expression, but to little avail.
lie wore out two rulers and pair OF
slippers, presented by one of his nuIner-
Gus lady friends on Christmas, in irving
to preserve order.
Those who saw it will not soon forget
the picture presented by Gardiner as he
stood with his hands on the table. his
huge overcoat collar looming up above
his head like an East Indiaman in fog.
as he beloved out on receiving an answer
from witness:
"Wha-a-a-at? That's all right Wait

JUST LIKE SPRING

Yesterdays Weather Differed From
That of the Eastern States.
The warm sunshine yesterday called
out crowds of people who had been
housed for some weeks by the fogs. Baby
carriages were numerous in all direc-
tions. and the little ones enjoyed their
outing. 1t was a typical California Janu-
ary day, while back in the East people
were scarcely able to keep from freezing
to death.
The Weather Bureau reports show the
highest and lowest temperatures to have
been so and 43o, with fresh and variable
winds and clear weather.
The barometrical readings at A. Nj.
and P. NJ. were 30.l4 inches at both read
ings.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were S. and 42o,
and one year ago to-day 6O0 and $50.
