WATSONVILLE CITIZENS

sal to Build an Expensive
Courthouse.
SMOOTH SWINDLER ARRESTED
Samio Iosepha Bought Wine on
Credit and Obtained Goods by
False PretenseS.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 4.-The ex-
ecutive committee composed of Ed White,
A. n. Judd and George Brewington of
jacksonville, which was appointed at q
mass-meeting of the citizens of that place
last Monday evening, held to protest
against the action of the Board of Super
visors in the proposed construction of a
county courthouse, attended the meeting
of the board in this city to-day. The
members of the committee spoke against
the course the board had taken and de-
manded that they recede.
Mr. Judd was the first speaker. He said
that from all the evidence they had before
them the board was proceeding in the
wrong direction, and that if the present
course was persisted in it would only re-
suit in long litigation, hard feelings and,
"to speak plainly, suspicion of the mem
bers of the board ITSELF" Mr.. judd main
objection was the uncertain title held by
the county to the present courthouse lot.
"rhen, too" said he, eve are not salts
fed with the plans and specifications,
They are not complete, and many things
that will cost much have been left out,
leaving chance for extras that the archi-
tects will not fail to take advantage Of.
Now, we are not against the building of a
Courthouse, but we want a Courthouse
that is not to cost over $4,000. We object
to the site upon which the Courthouse is
being built. We want you to act in this
matter as any business man would, not to
build upon piece of property to which
your title is uncertain. You owe it to
yourselves and to US to recede from your
present position and start in again, open
and above board. We ask as committee
that you recede from your position"
Ed White spoke next. "You promised"
said Mr.. White, 'to build $4,000 Court
house. You accepted bid for $53, 900
Courthouse that is not complete. You
pay Architect Comstock commission
upon the whole $53, 900 and not upon the
$4,000. We want Courthouse, but we
want it for 10000 and want it complete.
We ask you to recede, ana to start in again
and do this county business in the same
way that you carry on your own private
affairs If you refuse to recede we will go
into the courts with the best legal talent
the State can provide. We will take pro-
ceedings to show that your every act, from
the beginning, has been illegal"
District Attorney Lindsay then spoke
and reviewed the entire Courthouse matter.
spoke. 1t was decided that on next
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock meet
ing of the taxpayers of the county would
be held, where all could come and present
their views and wishes.

MODESTO, CAL, Sept. 4.-This after
noon about 2 o'clock reports of pistols at
tracted the attention of people in the
vicinity of H and Tenth streets. 1t seems
that Anthony G. A. Stonesifer and S. L.
Hanscom. both in buggies, had met on
II street, and that Stonesifer fired two
charges of buckshot at Hanscom. The
first missed, breaking the windows of the
Boston bakery and barely missing two
women. Part of the second shot struck
Hanscom in his left arm, and the rest
lodged in the door of tamale-house and
the top of buggy. Hanscom's horses
started to run, carrying him to the home
of his brother. Stonesifer drove to the
courthouse and gave himself and shotgun
up to Sheriff Purvis.
Enmity begun between the two some
time ago, and on August %, it is claimed.
Hanscom assaulted Stonesifer with the in
tention of whipping him, when Stonesifer
defended himself with knife. Hanscom
claims he was unarmed. Stonesifer re-
fuses to talk to reporters, but his friends
state that he has been expecting an attack
from Hanscom since their last difficulty.
Stonesifer furnished $4,000 bail.

Confidence Game.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 4.-Samio
Josepha, the young man who was arrested
in San Francisco last Monday by Constable
Corey, is in peck oftrouble. On Saturday
he came down from San Francisco and
entered into negotiations with J. Bernheim
& Co., leading merchants of this city, for
5000 gallons of wine. He ordered it
shipped East. and also to have the bill
sent to the New York firm which he
claimed to represent for collection. Carl
Bernheim, with whom the agent dealt,
grew a little suspicious, and telegraphed
to New York to have the order confirmed
but received no reply. He telegraphed
also to bank in Chicago on which the
merchant had given out $2S on $50 draft,
but the reply stated that Josepha had no
account with the bank.
Josepha was to-day taken before Judge
Gardner and the case against him was
dropped after his settling with Bernheim
and paying the costs. This afternoon
Josepha was rearrested by Constable Corey
upon receiving telegram from the Sheriff
of Napa County stating that he had
obtained money and goods in that city
under false pretenses.

AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND, CAL,
Aug. 30.-The fact that the postmaster at
Avalon has this season handled mail for
10000 different people indicates that this
resort is one of the most popular on the
coast, and has this season enjoyed a
greater degree of prosperity than ever be-
fore. Beside the number above mentioned
it must be taken into consideration that a
large proportion of Catalina's visitors re-
main only day or two and receive no
mail at all, so this largely swells the num-
Der. Indeed, it is not improbable that
fully $4,000 people have visited this island
resort since the Metropole was opened the
LIST of last February. This year the COM
pany propose to keep the hotel open the
entire year and compete with winter re-
sorts for custom.
The climate OF Catalina in winter is de-
Iightful, the comparative mean tempera-
ture for the SIX cold months being oS de-
grees, which is 10 degrees warmer than at
Nice, the famous resort of Southern France,
and degrees warmer than at Mentone, in
the Riviera. This season, from February
to June /, 1900 tourists registered at the
Metropole, including visitors from all over
the United States, from Canada and from
England. During the past summer 200 San
Francicsans have visited Catalina besides
a large number from Oakland. San JOSE

MADE GOOD HIS WoRD.

Charles EnDlebretsen Committed Suicide
after announcing His Intention.
FRESNO, CAL, Sept. 4.-Charles Engle-
bretzen of Jamison, twenty-five miles west
of here, sent a bullet into his brain in
Degan's saloon, in this city, this after
noon.
Englebretzen came to Fresno three days
ago with $3.50, and began gambling and
drinking. BY this morning he was penni-
less, and then he began talking of commit
ting suicide. None gave his threat any
consideration and he was joked consider
ably about it.
Englebretzen walked into the saloon
this afternoon and sat down on a beer key.
He was calmly smoking his pipe and at
tracted no attention. Suddenly he pulled
pistol from his pocket, placed it to his
right temple and fired. He fell off the
keg and died in few minutes.
He left q letter addressed to his wife, in
which he stated that he was very sorry
that things had come to such climax,
and he implored her forgiveness.

dition, the starting was excellent and the
weather cool and pleasant.
AT the track to-day such hot tip went
the rounds on Roam Wilkes that, settling
in the field, with Ed Lafferty and Captain
Hockett, the other two starters, it brought
$40, with Javelin going for SIS. In the
opening heat Javelin drew the pole, but
was unsteady, and, making a bad break
nearing the quarter pole, Chaboya took
matters easy the balance of the heat, and
Roam Wilkes passed the wire an easy win
ner in 2:201a, with Ed Lafferty second and
Captain Hockett in third position. Wilkes
was now decided favorite in the pools
bringing $50 against Sill for the entire
field. The next heat was a pretty contest,
the two favorites pacing well together
until nearing the homestretch Javelin
began drawing away, and her hackers
became lubilant. The roam horse began
closing on her again at the last eighth,
and, through Sulliyan's fine driving, took
the heat by short head in 2:16
The third heat was a repetition of the
preceding one. Javelin disputed every
inch of ground with the Wilkes horse, but
he proved her master and took the heat
and race in the very fast time of 2:1234,
with Javelin length away. The winner
halls from Southern California, and pre-
vious to to-day held record of 2:16H.
A great contest was looked forward to in
the 2:17 trot, with ten starters, and there
was no disappointment, for the final out
come was bitterly fought by two outsiders
in the betting-Lady o and Hillsdale-
either of which could be had for nod of
the head in the overnight betting.
Thompson, with record of 2:15, was what
the crowd was hungry for, but he was un-
steady and never figured in the race, being
unable to finish better than seventh in any

came to this State about twelve years ago,
and for the last eight years they have lived
happily together at Berryessa. Best is a
carpenter, and by hard work ard saving
the couple secured homestead of five
acres and a pretty cottage. They have no
children.
Mrs. Best in giving her testimony de-
clared that there had never been any diff
Guilty between herself and husband, and
until eighteen months ago their relations
had been pleasant and even affectionate.
At that time the husband could obtain
little or no work, and made up his mind to
go to Massachusetts, his old home, in the
hopes of obtaining employment. She said
that when her husband left she did not
have the least idea that he intended to de-
sert her. When he left he withdrew $1,000
from the bank, their savings for years, and
left her penniless as far as ready money
was concerned.
Best has never written to his wife since
he left, and she has only heard from him
indirectly. He is working as carpenter
in town in Massachusetts,.
In answer to a letter of inquiry from q
grocer in this City, Best replied that he
left his wife the homestead and expected
her to pay the bills. The property, how
ever, is in his name, and Mrs. Best now
asks the court to turn it over to her, so
that she may realize some money to pay
her living expenses. There is no doubt
that the husband does not intend to re-
sumo his marital relations again, as he
has paid no attention to the summons
and is allowing the divorce to go by de-
fault. Although the couple have been
married twenty years they are both COM
paratively young.
