Two Residents of Fresno Indicted by
the Grand Jury.
FRESNO, May 25.-The Grand Jury to-
day made out two indictments for J. e.
Boland, known also as McGinty Boland,
and S. D. Culver, real estate agent.
They charge perjury in connection with
the Heath trial.
Boland was formerly the husband of
Mrs. Cora Palmer, who gave sensational
testimony at the second trial of Heath.
that she had met Reel b. Terry and
another man driving from the direction
of McWhirter's house. She said she had
just left Boland at the depot, having
brought him in from her ranch that
night, SO he could get the early morning
train north. Boland was put on the stand
by the defense, and contradicted his
former wife, saying he was at Bakers
field on the morning of the murder.
The Grand Jury has been investigating
Boland's story. and number of wit
nesses were found who saw him here on
the day preceding the murder.
Culver was witness for the prosecu-
ton. and testified at the trial that Heath
had thrust pistol into his face the night
after the murder, because he intimated
that Heath knew something about the
murder. Several witnesses were found
who said that Heath was not in town
that night, hence Culver's Indictment.

The report of the Committee on For
eign Missions was made special order
for Tuesday morning.
Rev. ID. L. Mallory of Chicago intro
duced the following resolution and moved
its adoption:
WHEREAS, In view of the present con-
dition of labor and the general discon-
tent among our citizenship, we feel that
OF our sympathy with the large number of
unemployed workmen ana with employ
ers who find no market for their products.
Therefore, be 1t
ReSoiued, First, that it is our duty to
study carefully questions of political
economy; and, second, to give the reins
of Government of political power to
those whose principles stand for the
rights of American citizenship and the
protection of American institutions.
The resolution was discussed at length.
Several prominent citizens said they
favored the resolution in spirit, but did
not deem it wise for the General Assem-
bly, to adopt it.
DIR. Macy made an earnest, patriotic
and eloquent appeal for the resolution.
He asked what is there political in the
protection of American industries aud
labor? He referred to the distressed con-
dition of the country, and said that unless
he was ready to raise his voice in behalf
of American labor and American institu-
tons he would not consider himself
loyal United Presbyterian. The church
has no right to wrap itself about with its
holy robe and offer no word for honest
labor, for the protection of the American
workingman in distress and the protec-
tion of American industries.
After several motions and amendments,
the resolution was laid upon the table.
The evening session was given over to
memorial services in honor OF deceased
members.
Most of the delegates have accepted an
invitation to visit the California Synod in
San Francisco, and will leave on special

SAN Francisco, May PA sudden
rainstorm appeared off Point Reyes this
morning, and in few hours was in full
force over San Francisco and across the
bay. Rain began to fall at the obserya-
tory precisely at 8 A. NJ. It had begun to
fall at Point Reyes at A. N. All Weather
Bureau stations in California and all
Southern Pacific Railway stations in the
State at A. NJ. reported fair weather, so
the suddenness of the storm may be un-
derstood.
The public, as well as the Weather
Bureau, were surprised by the rain,
which continued steadily until after 2:30
o'clock. At that hour, when the SUM-
shine dissipated the clouds, the precipita-
ton had amounted to so of an inch, mal1~
ing 17.6l inches for the season.
The storm extended over California
from Stockton north. At many places
the rain was accompanied by thunder
and lightning. At Fresno there was no
rain, but a severe sand-storm prevailed.
Reports to the Associated Press from
numerous places in California Indicate
that some fruit and hay were damaged by
the rain, but that the benefit to other
crops will more than offset the injury.
At Tracy the rain fell in torrents for fif-
teen minutes, and a valuable horse on M.
Byrne's ranch was killed by lightning.
At Ukiah the rain will benefit hops.
fruit and late crops.
AT Los Gatos half an inch of rain fell,
injuring cherries. A sudden rise in the
creek indicated cloudburst above
Wright's station.
San Rafael reports that not enough rain
fell in Marin County to do any harm.
At Sonoma heavy showers fell all day,
and cherries and hay will be damaged.
AT Napa over half an inch fell, injur-
ing cherries and cut hay. Other crops
will be benefited.
Little harm was done at Stockton by
the storm.
