Mrs. Fisher left an Photographic will.
dated March 15, 1892, leaving all of her

Q. H. and W. L. Price. Among her
personal property. it is said, are several
notes for over $4,000. given by w. J.
Fisher to Ills deceased wife for borrowed
money.
The testimony adduced yesterday went
to show that at the time Mrs. Fisher

ness and did not expect to recover, and
that she was without medical attendance
until the arrival of her son, w. L. Price
from business trip, ON March 13, 1892,
when he called in the services of DR..
Beach. All of the deeds Of Mrs. Fish
er's property state the land was bought
with her sole and sepsrate funds, money
furnished her by her cousin, Samuel Ii.
Dunscomb, prominent bank president
OF Memphis, Tenn, whose deposition
and letters that ccntrained drafts for
various amounts will go to show. After
argument by counsel for both sides, the
court took the case under advisemont. to

''The bomb went offsnd they told the

The witness recital of the facts was
about as that of the messenger as to
what happened in the express car.
The witness said both men we're slim
built and one about a head taller than
the other.
When the men had filed the sack the
tallest one jumped down and said he'd
be id if he would carry it, and made
the witness and the messenger carry it.
lie thought the wagon WAS alow-bedded
one. He saw no one ahead of them as
they were carrying the sack to the
wagon. To the best OF his knowledge
the wagon was q blackboard. The horses
were dark.
One Of the men WAS, according to the
witness, 'cussin' all the time"
When the witness remarked to the
robbers that the fireman WAS caught,
this man said I'D d--n the luck; if
I'd known this would happen 1 wouldn't t
have held up the train"
The men both had handk kerchisfe over
the lower part of their faces, and the
witness could not see that they had any
whiskers. The taller mans eyes looked
blue to the witness when the bomb ex-
plosion lit up ths surrounding country.
as he expressed it,
Mr. Stephens-Did you hear the short
or man call the taller one dad" at any
time?
The witness--No, sir.
Upon further questions the witness
said the taller man was, be thought, the
eldest. The eldest man did not talk
much at all. All the witness heard b. IN

The conductor said it was 46 minutes
before he went front. He found the
fireman pinned between the tender and
engine, and he died about the time they
extricated him.
The lock OF the switch had heen taken
off and taken away, the switch being
thrown.
When the robbers left the train with
the sack the conductor counted five

man and messenger. then there were
two behind them. The two men be-
hind were walking very quietly, just like
the others.
A CLOSE OBSERVER.
II. A. Graves, conductor of the Pull
man car on the train, testified that the
instant he felt the shock he opened the
rear end OF the last sleeper, sccompa-
MED by the rear brakeman. He noticed
two men crossing the track about 10
feet away, one q little under + feet in
height aud the other shorter. He ask
ed them what was the matter. They
did not reply, but the witness heard one
of them say: "The a. of b.! I'll
show him whether he'll stop or not !"
They both had guns and wore masks.
He saw them fire two shots. He then
went through the sleepers and told the
passengers to remain inside; after
which, he went to the rear end, and re-
mained there until Mr.. Stone came
through and said the robbers had left.
Mr.. Conkling asked how the defend
ants compared with the men he saw
that night.
Mr.. Stephens objected on the ground
that it was the courts junction to make
the comparison.
The objection was overruled and the
witness said he could not say, he had
not seen the defendants standing up.
The witness then said the shorter man
WAS thin man and the taller stout
man.
The men were running when the wit
ness first saw them. They ran around
the rear of the tIain and went up toward
the head.
HE WAS THE CLOSEST TO THE ROBBERS.
Benjamin lie Grange, the deadh cad
fireman, testified:
81 was on the 6reman's seat. The
engineer jumped down and said: Look
out, boys, they're shootingl' We did
not realize what it was. We went in
the ditch. AS soon as the dust cleared
tried to hel p the fireman and couldn't.
Then / went back for assistance and the
robbers got me.

persons. The express car did not leave

not expect to win, but they thought they
might at least make the game somewhat
interesting They did not succeed even
/ in doing that, for the Oakland school

visitors were a powertui-looking lot of

how TO play football, too. 1t was evident
! that they had been well trained, for they
worked we'll together, and with their
strong rush line and expert interference
they were able to make gains at almost
every rush.
There were over 500 spectators present,
and nearly half of the number were
ladies. The high school girls were out in
force, but they had very few opportu-
| mites to cheer for their favOrjte team.
The game commenced promptly at 3

The Waters Now Falling - Damage
Done on the Main Land.
None of the reports of the damage done
by high water down about " alnut Grove,
and for some distance this side on the
main land, have been exaggerated.
A gentleman who returned yesterday
from Franklin and vicinity informs the

the Mokelumne River and Franklin is

The water is tour inches higher than at

however.
1t seemed to come in body from the
Cosumnes, and if the north wind con-
tinues it will probably soon drop.
There has been no loss OF stock down
that way, but a great quantity OF grain
has been Destroyer.
The full extent Of the loss cannot at
present be estimated.
Yesterday the levee broke on the Sar-
gent place, few miles below New Hope,
and it is thought the back water viii do

A portion OF the Try Creek bridge, be-
tween Galt and.San Joaquin County, was
displaced yesterday by the high water,
but it has been repaired.
The bridge over the lagoon at COHley's

out into the lagoon, and the railroad sec
ton hands have had all they could do to
save one OF the bridges near Arno.
The REC0ED-U UNIONS informant SAYS
that besides tie thousands of jackrabbIts
that have been drowned, thousands nGr5
have been driven to the high grounds
about Franklin, and rabbit drives down
that way will be the order OF the day
when the waters fall.

Standing in the PostofIice doorway at
ArnO, ana looking west into the fields,
one can see nerds of cattle standing in the

drowned. On a log that was standing in

sheep that had reached the only place of

"Reports have reached here that the

places; also, that the town OF Sheldon
was submerged.

A Possible Solution of Trustee Kent's
Strange Theory.
A prominent livery stable keeper in
this city yesterday, in speaking of Trus-
tee Kent's idea that we'll water killed his
horses, said that the real cause was proba-
bly, that while the horses were out at past
ure the windmill refused TO run on ac-
count OF lack of wind. The water be-
coming low in the water-hole with which
many pastures in the country are pro-
vided, the horses, tormented by thirst.
sucked up the sand and soil with the
water, and once in the stomach the sand
could not be got rid OF and caused inflan-
nation.
He has had horses die from the same
cause by drinking river water, and has
seen horses stomacns cut open alter death
and sand found in them that produced
death. To those who have seen horses.
when the wind had failed for several days
to provide them with fresh water, stand
ing in u stagnant pool and paving the
shallow water until it was thick with
mud, this is not an improbable solution
OF the deaths spoken OF by Mr.. Kent. 1t
is a practice Of horses at such times, as
many California farmers know.
