WANT A CHURCH.
Decoto Now Thinks 1t Is Big Enough
to SuppOrt One.

DECOTO, CAL, Dec. 3.-For long time
the church people of this town have
thought that there should be a church
building. At the last meeting of the Miz-
pah Union of Christian Endeavor the mat
ter was taken up in earnest, and it is now
probable that something will be done.
Although the town has been thriving in
several ways and many new buildings
have been erected during the past year no
determined effort has yet been made to
erect church.
Several months ago church congrega-
ton was organized with several members,
and it is still fourishing. Rev. L. S. Will
liams of Oakland stirred up matters last
week by his address, and committee
composed of Decoto residents was ap-
pointed to feel the pulse of the community
at large in regard to raising enough money
TO erect small but handsome and sub
stantial building suita Die for present needs.
1t was stated that Mrs. Patterson, widow
of George Patterson, the pioneer farmer
who died recently, has offered to donate
lots upon which the building may be
erected. The report of the committee will
be received in few days, but the general
opinion is that church will soon be built

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI


90S Broadway, Dec. 3. {
Rev. Father Powers of Livermore has
been the center of much interest to the
District Attorneys office lately. The par
ish priest is a hardy yeoman of the old
type and is muscular Christian. When
an argument arises between him and one
of his frlends-for the priest is popular
and the friend shows belligerent DISPOSE

his ground than run away. A few days
ago the priest had trouble with the night

Pat was in doubt him self, and when the

the head of his reverence.
Father Powers does not waste time pray
ing for the instant conversion of his ene-

hold of the irate Jack and took the mis-

than his match and was soon fiat on his
back, whether from the effect of Father
Powers muscles or from dizziness caused
by bad whisky, will be fer the jury to

Jack says the priest hit him. The
priest says he only showed him. The
trouble between the priest and O'Leary
dates back some years. OLeary got drunk
one day and undertook to whip his mother
in-law. The doughty divine was in the
vicinity and he took upon himself to cas-
tigate O'Leary, and for this the latter has
not felt particularly amiable toward the
priest ever since. O'Leary has sworn out
a warrant for the arrest of the priest for
battery. Father Powers appeared promptly
before Judge Taylor and gave bail in the
sum of 500, and the trial will be held
some time this week.

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway, Dec 3.
The Sheriff is not satisfied with the story
told by NJ. Ghirardelli and is keeping him
in Jail on suspicion of having killed his
fellow-hunter-Felice Varni. The chief
reason the Sheriff has for believing that
Ghirardelli knows something of the MUIR
der is that he was seen III the company of
the murdered man several hours after he
says he left him.
Several ranchers were found to-day vino
saw the prisoner and Varni together late
Sunday afternoon. f. Pezzoli, at whose
house Varni lived. says he does not think
any of his friends committed the murder.
Ghirardelh and Varni were the best of
friends, and according to Pezzoli, some of
the Portuguese ranchers in the vicinity of
Haine's ranch are responsible for the muir
der. He says that Varni had about $125
and revolver on him when he left home,
none OF which property was found on the
corpse.
The detectives claim to have discovered
some important testimony in the relation
ship Of the cartridges found neat Varni
and Ghirardellls gun.
One of the first questions asked by the
prisoner was, "Was it with his own gun ?"
As Varni's gun was placed on the ground
in such a manner as to indicate suicide this
query of the prisoners is regarded as sig
nifcanU. The inquest will be held Wednes-
day evening.

THE NIUHLNER MURDER.
Three Witnesses for the Prosecution
Summoned for the Defense.

OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 3.-Judge Prick
held court tonight till the completion of
the impeachment of the jury to try Louis
Muhlner for the murder of Jennie Lewis.
His Honor was somewhat annoyed by the
tedious manner in which Attorney Nagle
examined the talesmen, and refused to adj
journ till the box was filled.
When the jury was secured Attorney
Nagle asked that the court make an order
that all witnesses be excluded from the
courtroom during the trial. During the
past two days three of the detectives for
the prosecution have been subpenaed for
the defense. They are Denny Holland,
Charles Foster and H. Y. Herbert, who
have worked up most of the evidence for
the prosecution.
The prosecution declares that this was
only move on the part of the defense to
exclude them from the courtroom. II tn is
was the case it has succeeded, for Judge
Frick complied with the request, but said
he would not make ii apply to the Chief
OF Police. Nagle took an exception to the
ruling, and it is possible he may refuse to
proceed with the trial should Chief Lloyd
not be excluded from the courtroom.

of Dudley c. Stone, who was killed last
Sunday at Highland Park.

was on top OF the double-deck car that was
going north and did not see the other car
coming south. The first he knew OF the

REMARKABLE GROWTH.
Editor j. ID. Lynch Tells of the Lively
Times in and Around Los
Angeles.

Joseph D. Lynch, for many years pro-
prietor of the Herald at Los Angeles and
one of the best known editors of the West,
is in the City. Mr.. Lynch has put in
twenty-seven years of active life, in the
newspaper business.
Talking of the growth of Los Angeles
last night at the Lick he said it presented
some of the most remarkable phases that
had ever been known in the country.
1.-The real growth began about 1880"
said he, land continued to about 1888,
when 1t quoted little, and then in 1885 it
started and we had real boom till about
1888. Property reached extraordinary tig-
ures, as will be remembered, and then
there was crash. While property in the
center of the city held its own, that in the
suburbs, as well as farming property, went
all to pieces. Away from the center,
property that had been worth $50 front
foot or thereabouts, fell to $25, and then
there was no sale for it. Now property,
while more than holding its own in the
CENTER has increased in value greatly out
side of it.
"For time, during the present growth,
there was issued an average of fourteen
building permits a day. Even now it is
impossible for man to rent any kind of
a house that he would reasonably want.
Every building is filled.
Besides this there is a growth in other
ways. At the present time two electric
roads are being built between Los Angeles
and Santa Monica. and though Santa
Monica is fourteen miles away, it is really
becoming the water front of Los Angeles.
l look for it eventually to be built up all
the way-noJ solidly, but connected by
villas. l do not think this improbable at
all.
'As for railroads Of different kinds Los
Angeles County is gridironed with them.
l believe that right now there Is more
building at Los Angeles than at all the
other towns west of Salt Lake, including
the coast from the two houndariesO

ALMOND SHELLING.
A Mechanical Continuance Worked by
Chinese-Has a Capacity of Two
Tons Daily.

LIVERMORE, CAL, Dec. 3.-An in
teresting and novel method of Smelling
almonds is being introduced at the Hatch
ranch in this valley this week
The foreman has force of Chi
nese at work in the large ware
houses handling the almonds by means
of a machine which rubs the nuts through
at the rate of nearly two tons day. The
crop consists of about 50,000 pounds and
is being handled by the Bank of Liver
more.
Two or three Chinese work a machine,
rocking the cradle back and FORTH the
crushed shells and kernels falling
through to be shoveled into the tanning
mill. Here the shells are blown off like
chaff and the smooth kernels drop off
the apron into the boxes.
The rest of the work is sorting, picking
out the waxy and broken kernels; but this
has to be done by hand. Out of every 1000
pounds of nuts 2200 pounds of sound, whole
kernels are obtained in addition to about
fifty pounds of cracked kernels, which are
marketable.
Last year the almond people paid cents
pound to have their nuts shelled. This
year the bank has contracted with the
Cinnamon to shell and box the crop at l
cent per pound. 1t is thought that next
year the cost of Smelling and packing can
be reduced to 80 cents hundred pounds.
In previous years the work was done by
hand, but the crop was smaller.

Another Chinese Pastor Helps to Sc
cure Conviction.


Conviction.
OAKLAND, Dec. 3.-Ah Oney was to-
Gay found guilty by Judge Wood in the
Police Court upon the charge of selling
lottery tickets. The case was contested by
Attorney Bradley for the defense, and as
in a previous instance, this being a test
case, jury being waived, it Will probably
be carried to the Superior Court by the
defense IN an effort to have the decision
reversed.
In order to supply the necessary evil
dence to show that the papers used In evil
dence were lottery tickets the prosecution
presented Chinese missionary of San
Francisco as an expert on the subject. He
testified that up to sixteen years ago he
was accustomed to deal in lottery tickets
ana had often seen drawings held, which
operation he infinitely described. He was
closely cross-examined by Attorney Brad
ley, but his testimony remained mistaken.
Several Chinese lotteries were raided this
morning and seven more dealers we're
brought in.

Another argument advanced in favor of

much for a student to undertake and al the
