THERE WAS A NOISE,
But Its Malicious Origin Was Nc
Established.


Established.
The case OF Fred Carr and w. G. Hos
teller, charged with disturbing the
camp meeting at Norton's Grove by
causing the whistle of steam engine to
sound in consonance with the preacher s
voice and by dragging tin cans and ex-
tinguished torch lights through the
audience. was tried yesterday.
On account of the illness of Justice
Kincaid, who had issued the warrants
of arrest, Justice tombstone took charge
of the trial. 1t began at 9 O'Clock, but
it was evident from the beginning that
his official quarters were misfit. The
crowd filled the Office, hung out of doors
and windows and blockaded Wall
street.
Nothing was done in the forenoon
but impanel jury and the case was ad-
iourned to l o'clock and the court
house.
The jury consisted of R. E. Allen, J.
0. Hall, W. P. Murdeck, G. L. Rich
mond, A. H. Barber, Robert Fridel,
Henry Evans, H. s. Gordon, Brown
Riggan, A. Robinson, s. S. Gish and
M. H. Calderwood.
There were about forty witnesses, fit.
teen of whom were for the prosecution.
By the majority of the others the de-
PENDANTS were prepared to prove their
good character. At the opening of the
case Frank Cox, for the defense, asked
District Attorney Williams to define
more particularly the offense. "What
disturbed the meetinp?' he asked
''The blowing of the steam whistle, d
replied the district attorney.
"Then," suggested Mr.. Cox, 81 move
for the dismissal OF the defendants and
the arrest of the steam whistle" The
suggestion was received with 'disdain
and the case proceeded.
From the testimony of the prosecu-
TONS witnesses it was gathered that
the noise was horrifying even at the
distance OF half mile, but it was
failed to be shown that the defendants
had maliciously precipitated it.
One witness said that one of the de.
PENDANTS bulletined the performance by
telling him that when the singing
started up that night he would fur
nish an accompaniment.
"Did the noise interfere with the
preaching?" asked Mr.. Cox of another
witness. 81 should say it did," was
the reply.
'Did he let up?" inquired Mr.. Cox
The witness was not sure about
that, but he did know that the min.
lister frequently hesitated and mani.
tested disposition to drop out of the
unequal contest.
Chow long did it blow? ?" queried the
district attorney.
"Well, it seemed to me-" said the
witness, "that it was about an hour,
but | guess it wasn't near so long
The longer it blowed, though, the
louder it got"
Another witness said that the noise
was so overpowering that his wife, who
was nervous, had TO wrap her head in
a shawl in the interest of quietude.

two minutes. The defendants were

nothing but an increase in demand

PoLsoM's WATER POWER

The Walls of the Company's Canal
Being strengthened.
The Folsom Telegraph says: "a great
many changes have been madein the plans
of the canal. from the State power-house
down to Robbers Ravine, by the Folsom
Water Power Company. The walls, as first
built, were not substantial enough to
hold the immense weight and force of
water that would flow through the canal
when the head-gates were opened. The
company decided to act on the sugges-
ton we made, and new plans were drawn
looking to the strengthening of the walls.
ION Tuesday force OF convlcts were
started to work, and the old walls were
riprapped, and will be coated with cement
all the way down, as was done by the
late Engineer Humbert in the first sec
ton. Instead of the frail wall of loose
stone that was originally built, good,
substantial. solid wall is being built now,
and about 200 yards of the same has been
finished. There are only a few yards
more of excavating to be done by the
prison authorities before they reach Rop-
bers' Ravine.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand 4cres Of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 120, 160 and $50 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
arc especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated. by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installnents, with in
terest at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality 81 SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands. suitable for general farming, and es-
peoially adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
300 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payraent which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual alsettlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting it's set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
