lady called on Chief Drew and stated
that her name was Turner; that she was
widow with three children. and that
she only arrived from the East a few
days ago. She had Sl,S00, and had con-
cluded to come from Charleston, Mass,
to this State and invest it in some man
ner that should secure to her living.
Among the acquaintances to whom she
spoke of her plans was Michael J. Sulli-
van, whom she had known all her life
and in whom she had the utmost conf
dence. He fell in with her plans, and
said he had about an equal amount. He
would also come here and find profit
able investment for it. 1t might be that
something would be found that would
require more money than either had
and in that case they could both invest in
it and form partnership.
A day or two after arriving in San
Francisco, he told her that he had not
found anything there that suited him,
but had heard OF a fine farm near here
that he thought would be lust the thing
for them both. They accordingly came
here Saturday, and after few hours
absence he informed her that the farm
was a great bargain and he had bought it,
and was TO pay for it Immediately. She
gave him her money and ne went out
to make the payment and secure the
deed.
That was the last she saw of him or her
money. Yesterday, finding he did not
return, she applied to Chief Drew for as
sistance in finding him. He ascertained
that Sullivan went to San francisco
yesterday. and that he came back OH the
overland to-day and bought ticket for
Colfax.
He had changed his clothes and wore
a gray suit. He has lost his left hand at
the wrist. but sometimes wears an artih-
cial hand. His hair and mustache are
sandy. His victim is left penniless, with
three small children on her hands. His
movements show him TO be cunning and
shrewd, and it is evident that be planned

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand Scres 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 SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12O, 160 and $40 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are 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 installments, with in
terest at the rate of 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 at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 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-
pecially adapted for frult-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
800 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
homeseekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers 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 its set
tlement in smaller quantities and It's devotion
to diligent husbandry.

The Spoonbill Clubs First Shoot With

Yesterday the Spoonbill Gun Club
members were out in good force for their
first bluerock shoot of the season. 1t
was also the first public trial of the new

nothing to pull any more. The scorer
simply touches button on little KEY

screen, sailing as gracefully away as a
quail or a jacksnipe, and with even
greater speed.
