THE GENERAL. WON.
How Barnes Scattered Those Who
Attacked Him

CharleS Allen, alias Billy Robinson, was tri ed
yesterday before Judge Belcher and jury for
an alleged assault with intent to commit rob-
berry upon the person of General W. H. L.
Barnes on, the night of January 13, 1898.
The evidence was purely circumstantial, as
The principal witness, General Barnes was
unable 10 identity the prisoner as being one of
the two men who assaulted nlm. All General
Barnes knew was that as he was returning
home from the Bohemian Club on the night in
question and was in the act of entering his
residence on Suffer street he was struck from
behind with sandbag. General Barnes turned
quickly round and went for his assailant In
vigorous style. The second assailant did not
at first appear, but when the proposed victim
had got the best of his man he saw the other
man disappearing down the steps.
"How big was your first assailant?" asked
Assistant District Attorney Peixotto.
81 don't know; L couldn't guess. He seemed
to me to be II or Il feet high. He was big
enough for me, anyway, just at that time"
General Barnes said that all he knew was
that this man was beating his head with a
sandbag, In return for which he (the witness)
was beating his assaianI's face with his fist
There must have been half a pint of blood on
the floor. The other man was much smaller in
stature and wore light OvercOat. Both men
had stockings or lndlarubbers on, as they
moved off without any noise, and quickly as

to FisheTmen's wharf, where the Ethel

the tug, saying, ''She deserves to be blown
to pieces" At the same time he put this

ers. The fuse attached to it began to

and his companion made the best of their
way off, mot running, but something very
near it,"
They then proceeded as far as the
VallejO-street wharf, where they halted,
and then stroled down the wharf. At

THEIR WALK ON THE WHARF
How the Ethel and Marion Was
to Be Destroyed.
THE "ENGlNE" WOULD NOT WORK
A Witness Who Told What He Knew
of the TransactiOn-The AdmiS-
SiOnS He Made.

When the trial of John P. Hansen.
charged with attempting to blow up the
tug Ethel and Marion on the 4th Of April
last. was resumed yesterday before Judge
Daingerfield and jury, considerable in
terest was evinced in the case by reason of
the testimony of the witness Hendrickson.
Hendrickson is supposed to be wanted
in the State OF Oregon for some crime
committed thirteen years ago. and it was
curious that special officer should arrive
with a warrant for his arrest just as be
was expected 10 give most important testi-
mony against the prisoner. Governor
Markham was appealed to, with the re-
suit that the warrant was recalled and
Hendrickson permitted TO remain in the
city until after the trial.
Assistant District Attorney Hosmer
made the opening statement for the prose
cutiOn yesterday morning.
Policeman George Russell told what he
knew OF the facts and circumstances, and

MAPS TO BE ISSUED TO-DAY
Several Colony Schemes Under
Consideration.
THE PLAN MEETS WITH FAVOR
A Series of Circulars VIII Be Sent
Out, Giving All Required
Information to Inquirers.

Tomorrow the second Of the circulars
relating to the Merced County lands. which
are known as the Crocker- Huffman Tracts
aud which are now being disposed of
under the direction of w. FL. Mills. land
agent of the Central Pacific, will be issued
to the public. The first circular was simply
general statement OF the scheme, while
the present one or No. is accompanied
by maps, Autographs, ETC., and gives de-
tailed information in regard to the prOjaet
up to the present time. 1t is proposed to
issue these circulars in series, stating
prices of the land, progress made in the
sale and in fact every possible item of in
formation that may be thought of interest
to persons seeking Investments of this
character.
The interest manifested In this PALE is
exemplified by the fact that even before
the matter has been properly placed be-
fore the public Inquiries have been re-
ceived from over 600 persons and twenty
four parcels of land has been sold for an
aggregate of $4,000, showing conclusively
the existence of market and proving the
success Of this test Of what can be done
with California lands when offered to the
public under reasonable conditions and IN
an intelligent manner. The largest sale
yet made to single purchaser was forty
acres and the smallest ten acres and every
one OF these purchasers has acquired the
property under an explicit agreement that
they will cultivate and improve the
land.
The following map represents sections
27 and % in the British Colony Tract and
is, of course, only a small proportion of
the great body of land offered for sale:

the whole OF the section being within two
miles OF that place. so that within two
miles of the corporate limits of this thriY-
ing town land equal in value to any in
California for the cultivation of all kinds
of fruit can be bought for from $50 to $50 las
the plate shows per acre, including an in
defeaslbe water right worth $40 per acre
and the free use of water in perpetuity,
estimated to be worth $40 per acre. Sub
tracing this $50 (Which is fair deduction
on the basis of the best experience in the
irrigation districts of California;, and the
quotation for the land alone would be
from $50 to S55 per acre.
The British Colony tract was held at
500 per acre under the old management,
and this sum, in addition to the $40 per
acre at that time charged for the water
right and the annual water rental of 81 per
acre ESTIMATED as equivalent to $50 per
acre In the aggregate) would make the sum
total charged then $3.50 per acre.
These latter charges have all been cut
off and the prices scaled down 10 from $50
per acre as a minimum figure and $50 as
a maximum.
The foregoing diagram will show how
the land is being sold and the prices asked
therefore. 1t will be noticed upon exam
inatiOn of the same that there is marked
tendency among purchasers to group til en-
selves by buying adjoining properties
In addition to the many individual ip-
duirieS made there are number of colony
schemes projected. and the indications are
that the land will be taken up very
promptly.
