CHINO RANCH.

O. H. Phillips Tslks Of the Property's
Future.
San Bernardino Index: This morning
a tall gentleman with sandy hair and
close cropped beard, with magnificent
physique and countenance frank,
beaming with geniality and intelligence.
indicative OF man full of American
push, vim and "get there" arrived on
the train from Temecula and registered
at the New St. Charles as Chaun cey Ii.
Phillips of San Luis Obispo.
He is one of the most succesaful real
estste operators in California and the
purchaser OF the Chino ranch. He was
at Chino Monday. at Temecula yester.
day and was going to return to Chino by
way of Los Angeles today. Mr.. Phillips
ia largely interested in Southern Cali
fornia. Besides the Chino property he
is handling for the San Francisco Saw
ings union about 100000 acres of land
in Riverside county. This includes the
Temecula, Pauba and Santa Rosa
ranches. His visit to Temecula was in
relation to these properties.
He was seen by q Times-Inde report.
er during his brief sojourn in the city,
and found time to make few state-
ments in relation to the Chino property.
In which We are more directly Interest,"
ed. Mr.. Phillips said that he did not
come into possession OF the ranch, ex-
cept for purposes of selling and leasing
lands until Januory l, 1895, and that
Mr.. Gird retains the use Of the pasture
lands and the home ranch for one year.
Aside from :hat and the reservation OF
two lots in Chino. the bank building
and the opera house, the transfer OF
the property WAS complete.
Mr.. Phillips stated that his plans for
handling the property were not FULLY
matured, but that it wac bought to cell
to actual eettlers. That it was not his
purpose to bear the real estate market,
but to sell it at reasonable prices. In
the meantime it is proposed to lease the
lands and make them productive in
every possible way-make them yield
an income on the Investment.
Already 4700 acres OF beet lands have
been leased and 5000 acrea OF grain
lands. 1t is expected to have in about
5000 acres of beets
The pasture lands will be retained by
Mr.. Gird for the coming year. After
that time they will Dass under the con-
troll Of Mr.. Phillips and will be used
for dairy purposes on an extensive scale.
1t is large proposition, the sugar
factory makes the best possible adver-
tisement for the ranch and besides it
makes sure and @ profitable marke t
for the product OF every acre OF land
adapted to beet culture. l. L,ads on the
Chino ranch furnish unparalleled oppor-
tunlties for the practical agriculturalist
and the home seeker. The colonization
OF these lands in the work of years. but
with a man OF Mr.. Phillips' ability and
experience, the work will be pushed
vigorously and we may look for extern
sive developments and large increase
in desirable settlers in that fortunate
section OF our county.

A WOMAN WITNESS.

Strong Testimony Given Against Appel
mau, the Alleged Wrscher.
WOODLAND, Dec. 2l.-The proceedings
opened this morning with the recall OF
Witness Renner for further cross-sxam
ination. Witness Cropper was also re-
called by the prosecution. He said
when Appelmsn and another man came
into Dutfy's saloon on the afternoon of
July 1lth they were dusty and perspir.
ing as if they had been having a long
walk. By agreement the testimony OF
Messrs. Wallace, Hayden, McManus
and Love, given in the Hatch Case, was
read.
The case Of the people closed with the
testimony OF Miss Bertha Pepperdine Of
Modoc county. Witness is housekeeper
at the Renner residence. She had sev-
eral conversations with Appelman dur-
ing the week he worked on the Renner
farm. He first told witness that his
name was Frank Hamilton but when he
was about to leave he said his true
name was William Henry Appelman.
He said his intention was to get out of
the country and that he had lsft Sacra-
mepto TO evoid being witness against
the strisers under arrest. He also told
witness the particulars of the wrecking
of the train. He said it was done by
seven men who went out to the treste
in a wagon driven by boy. While Ap.
pelman was at Rsnuer's he had mus.
tache but he shaved it off prior to lsav-
ing. He used q razor which he bor
rowed from Rsnner.
When asked by witness why he
shaved, defendant replied that it was
becauee it made him lopf, better. He
wore white hat. but had black one
with him which he gave to one of Rem
ner's boys.
He told witness that the cut on his
upper lip was made with wine glass
which was thrown at him in ball
room. The cross-examination did not
elicit anything new or shake her direct
testimony.
Worden insisted to the last that he be
allowed to testify in this case. and some
of those engaged in working up the tess
timony for the prosecution thought his
testimony would strengthen the case for
the people. but Mr.. Cook and District
Attorney Head thought otherwise.
Everybody except Appelman's counsel
is in the dark as to what the defense
will be, but General Hart says they
have q better defense than there was in
the Hatch case.

Thisgs All Hts own Way.
TACOMA, Dec. 2l.-Alexander Reed, a
grain dealer and one of the most promi-
ment citizens OF Tacoma, has returned
from Waila .Walls, whore he formerly
lived. He says that the public has
heard only q part OF the gross miscon.
duct OF Warden Coblentz of the Walla
Walla pepitentiary, who suicided two
weeks ago.
He learned beyond doubt that Co..
blentz, who had friends throughout the
state. had matured plans to secure the
passage of q bill by the Legislature in
January which would abolish the board
of trustees of the penitentiar and leave
him in full control. with an opportunity
absolutely unrestricted to steal three
quarters instead of one-quarter OF the
receipts of the prison jute mill. The
excuse for the bill was a pretense at
economy on the plan that the trustees
we're useless expense to the state. The
scheme would undoubtedly have been
consu minated through the pledges of
legislators if timely discovery of the
peoulations of Coblentz had not been

DIPHrHERfA EPIDEMIC.

Little Ones In Lhs New York Infant
Asylum stricken.
New YoRK, Dec. 2l.-The World this
morning says: There has been an cpl
demic OF diphtheris at the country
home of the New York infant asylum at
Mount Vernon during the past eight
weeks. Notwithstanding the fact that
more than 80 children were taken down
with the disease and that at least 16
cases proved fatal, the news of this has
only just leaked out. The disease is not
confined to the inmates of the asy ylum
alone.
1t was learned that one OF the three
resident physicians at the asylum, DR..
Peck, was stricken with diphtheria and
is still under treatment. There are now
1854 children, ranging from four weeks to
five years of age, at the asylum. There
are also 100 mothers and 125 nurses on
the ground. J. F. Ward Simmons, pres.
ident OF the Fourth National bank, is
president Of the asylum. One OF the
first cases of diphtheria that was dis
covered at the asylum was that OF little
Walter Fisher, who died in the latter
part of September last. A few days
after wards new cases sprung up at near.
ly all the cottages. The health officer
was notified, and at his suggestion one
of the cottages was cleaned out and
turned into a contagious quarantine
ward.
archaeological examinations that
were made showed that the disease had
pnt in an appearance in its severest
form. Of course there we're O large
number of mild cases among the in.
fants, but the officials of the institution
admitted that they had treated over so
genuine cases since the epidemic broke
out. Since the outbreak OF the cpl.

under strict quarantine, and have for

the past year in this city 10 to be re-
vived. Reference is made to the mile-a-
minute sleighride without snow, up and
down the sharp inclines and declines
and around the twists and curves OF the
famous toboggan slide. The 81, 600 peo-
pie OF Los Angeles who, during the
three months the slide was running last
spring and summer, rode up and down
and around its twisted Track, mile
long, in almost O minute, have clamored
for another chance to enjoy the delight
full, exhilarating and exciting sensation,
and it will be given them; but for a
weak only. however.
Up to yesterday the toboggan alide
has been practically undergoing repairs
preparatory to its removal, on January
next, TO New Orleanes. These repairs.
consisting OF a new maple track, new
brakes, etc., were completed on Thurs
day. and yesterday the wild ride on the
toboggan slide" was resumed.
The popularity OF the amusement was
attested by the hundreds W ho patronizsd

increased the rspidity and consequently
the excitement and enjoyment Of the
ride. Although out of the half hundred
thousand passengers carried up to date.
no one has ever been injured. yet the
managers of the slide now feel that with
the new Improvements even the most
timid can ride without the leaat appre-
hension Of danger.
For Christmas week, commencing to-
day. the fare will be 8 cents. The ex~
cellent order always maintained at the
slide, no matter how large the crowd Of
waiting passengers, will be enforced
during the holiday week. Positively no
Objectionable characters will be allowed
on the grounds.

Angeles. big aud little, have another
chance to ride over one.
Every body will be welcome and
