Rich Gold Strikes Reported Near sSrs

BernardinO.
SAN BERNARDNo, Feb. 21.-A very
rich strike is reported from the desert
country, about sixty miles from this city
and about twenty miles northwest OF In
dion, on the Southern Pacific, and about
seven miles west, near Tingman's little
two-stamp mill. The ledge is said to be
three feet wide, and crops out for $500
feet. Samples taken from cuts across
the ledge go $500 to the ton. The gold
is very coarse in the quartz, single pieces
being worth 81. Ten tons of groupings
were taken over to Tingman's mills, and
yielded $1,000. Messrs. Lang & Son, cat
tie men in that region, are the fortunate
finders, and have gone to Los Angeles to
get tools to bore for water. Old miners
here think this is where the IndiaDs
found the gold they used to show trs',-
elers at Caliente, and in search OF which
Tom Coner lost his life few year., ago.

WILLIAM SCOTT WAS A GHOUl
He Robbed a Woman in Her
Last Dying Gasp.
Found Guilty of Grand Larceny in
One Minute.
The Story OF . Coldbloodsd Wretct
who Must Go to tho Penitsntisry
for HE Crims.

William E. Scott, q dark-haired young
man who did not have the general ap-
pearance OF an habitusl criminal, was
tried yesterday in department one on
the charge OF grand larceny. The th oft
consisted in having taken from the per-
son Of Mrs. Lillian M. johnson gold
watch and chain on the 22d OF Septem-
ber.
This class of crime is not an unusual
one, but the circumstances under which
it was committed were highly dramatic
and impaired more interest to the case
than these sorts OF every day theits gen.
orally do. The facts OF the case %
brought ont at the trial were as follows:
Mrs. johnson. the wife OF Charles e.
Johnson, proprietor OF the Royal billiard
room. was taken with hemorrh age OF
tho lungs on September %, while walk
ing on Spring street, and taken by pas
sers.by into the back room OF Littleboy's
drug store. under the Ramona. A man
uamed Hansen. with whom Scott WAS
slightly acquainted. saw the woman fall
and carried her iuto the ph armaoy. fol-
lowed by Scott. While Hanesn was act.
ing the good Samaritan. Scott was look
ing around TO see what he could steal.
Finding an opportunity to get hold OF the
dying woman's gold watch and chain,
while che was being made comfortable,
he put the valuables in his pocket and
hovered around her body until her spirit
had fed.
1t was soon discovered that the vac
and chain had disappeared. but he had
the hsrdihood, with the jewelry on his
person. and while ite absence was being
discussed, to advocate the robbing OF q
corpse, alleging that things could do no
good to people after they were dead.
Not only that. but he had the audacity
to return to the drug store the next day.
and it was there that Detective Good.
man placed him under arrest.
Scott pswned the watch for $3.50 with
John B. Solomon, q pawnb!oker OF 103
South Main street, and with the pro-
ceeds went down to Alameda street, in
the district where women OF ill-fame re.
side. Here he made the acquaintance
of woman named Theo Gertrude and
presented her with the chain which he
had snatched from the blood. stained
body OF Mrs. Johnson as che was gasping
her last.
The chain OF evidence was complete
against this young ghoul. and after the
jury had been instructed by the court
it took them just one minute to bring in
a verdict OF guilty. Judge Smith will
sentence the man on Monday, and it is
probable, in view OF the Nervousness OF
the crime, Scott will get long term in
the penitentiary. He came from the
east not long ago. His people. who were
advised of his arrest, have cast him off
and will have nothing further to do with
him.

POWER OF A FACE.


Now" saws some one, II know very
good people who have no such religion
in their faces My friend, the reason
probably is that they were not converted
until late in life. Worldliness and Sin
had been at work with their chisels on
that face for 80 or 40 years, and Grace,
the divine sculptress, has been busy with
her chisel only five or ten years. Do not
be surprised that Phidias and Green
ough with their fine chisels cannot in
short while remove all the marks of the
stone mason's crowbar, which has been
busy there for long while. | say to
all the young, if you would have sym

face, cheerful face, kind face, at the
earliest possible moment by the grace
of God have planted in your soul sym
pathy and hope and courage and good
cheer and kindness. No man ever in
dulged gracious feeling or was moved
by righteous indignation or was stirred
by benevolent impulse but its effect
| was more or less indicated in the coun-
tenance, while David noticed the physi-
| ognomlc effect of bad disposition when
he said, "a wicked man hardeneth his
| face" and Jeremiah must have noticed
| it when he said of the cruel, 'They
| have made their faces harder than a
| rock. -
Oh, the power of the human face! /

magnetic and impressive that, though
they vanished long ago, they still hold

years old now, or 90 or 80 years" But
does not that infant face still have ten

| During many an eventide does it not
look at you? In your dreams do you not
