MOVING BRIDGE TIMBERS
Construction Work on the San
Joaquin Road Is Not
Lagging.
A Belief That Block 2f at Stockton
Can Be Secured Without
Legal Action.

STOCKTON, Call. Oct. 12.-The amount
of work accomplished in the various de-
partments of the Valley road during the
last week has been large, especially on the
line outside the city. The hitch in the
work in town occasioned by the failure to
secure block q has not affected the rapid
progress of the graders, and nearly two
and half miles of grade has been finished
by Grant Brothers and the sub-contractors.
The movement of heavy bridge timbers
toward the Stanislaus River by way of the
Oakdale branch of the Southern Pacific is
a daily scene, and by the time the graders
reach the river many of the bridge tim bers
will be set and work on the bridge we'll
under way.
A force of men this morning commenced
the work of excavating for the abutments
of the steel bridge across Mormon Channel
at Edison street.
The ground will have to be excavated for
some distance back on either side of the
channel. AS soon as this is done the work
of driving piles for the foundation will be
commenced, and everything will be in
readiness for the steel superstructure as
soon as it arrives from the East.
Nothing was done to-day in regard to
the transfer of block q to the company
Both Mr.. Buell. and Mr.. Simpson are away
from the city, and some hope is expressed
that the matter will be settled on the re-
turn of the latter gentleman without the
tedious and expensive process of condem-
nation.

ready for the trip a pathetic scene was
being enacted. Miss Ella Peterson, a young
Swedish girl who has become deeply at
tached to Hansen since his incarceration
here, was present. She prayed, cried and
kissed Hansen good-by time and again,
but he stood with stoIid look on his face
unmoved by the girls frenzy. She stayed
until after the men were taken away, and
after good cry went to her home.
Both men realize that nothing can be
done to save them, and have become recon-
ciled. Last night Hansen sat up until 2
O'Clock. telling the death watch stories of
the sea, but carefully avoiding mentioning
what happened on the Hesper. st. Clair
is not so communicative, but says he has
resolved to meet death fearlesslY.

SKIPPED OUT OF FRESNO.
Clarke E. Wood, a Deputy
Clerk, Left That City
Under a Cloud.
He Was a PIunger at the Races
and Did Business for His
Mother-in-LaW.

FRESNO, CAL, Oct. r. - Clarke E.
Wood, the chief deputy of the County
Clerks Office, is in parts unknown. He
disappeared last Sunday night, and moth
ing has since been heard of him. When
he left he stated that he was going to San
Francisco to see his father, who, he said,
was i'll, and had summoned him there by
telegraph.
Nothing wrong was suspected until yes
terday, when County Clerk Hart looked at
the papers on Woods desk and found
some important documents gone. Other
the suspicion that the deputy had made a
permanent departure. The documents
| which were gone related TO Il civil case in
which Wood was commissioner.
He had in his possession $500 involved
in the case. But he also took with him
the bonds which he had furnished to be
commissioner, and which he had in his
possession as deputy clerk.
But the chief reason ascribed to Wood S
strange course was his actions as attorney
| intact for his mother-in-law She had
| given him the power of attorney to settle
up some litigation in which she was in
! Yolved which he did successfully.
| But it has now been learned that he then
mortgaged his mother-in-law's property
for all he could get, something like $500,
and just after his disappearance he was to
have given an account of his proceedings
regarding the property.
During the races last week Wood was a
plunger, and lost about $1,000. Before
leaving last Sunday Wood visited his
mother-in-law and managed to get into
her trunk, and took $50 which she had in
keeping there.
Wood also had a check on local bank
for $50 cashed by a saloon-keeper. 1t is
known that he took the south bound train
on Sunday evening, and many believe that
he is following the race circuit.
Woods wife is lying at the point of death
in this city from consumption.
Another woman, who has shady repu-
tation, and with whom W ood has been as
sociating for some time, is indirectly
ascribed as the real cause of Woods mex
plainable actions. He is about 80 years OF
age. unusually clever, and has held sew
eral positions of trust in this city and
county.

HURLED OYER Il PRECIPICE.
a CHILD Fatally Injured ina Runa,Val
accident.

HEALDSBURG, CAL. Oct. IA dis
tressing accident occurred on the Mill
Creek grade four miles from this city last
evening by which the four-year-old son of
David Mothern received injuries which
will prove fatal and his wife was seriously
bruised.
Mrs. Mothern and her two children
were driving home from Healdsburg.
When on the grade they were crashed into
by four-horse team belonging to the Hop
klns ranch, which was coming in the oppo-
site direction at wild pace and driverless
With much presence of mind Mrs. Mothorn
threw one of the children out of the buggy
onto The bank, but before she could Jump
with her baby the runaway team was upon
her.
The buggy in which herself and children
were riding was totally demolished and the
two occupants remaining in the vehicle
hurled down the precipice with fearful
force.

naming pioneer is George Miller, who
lives in this city in the enjoyment of
health and whose declining years are
passed in peace and comfort.
Perhaps no man in Sonoma was better
known than Joel Ragan. In earlier days
he was great hunter, and in the fifties he
had sh OF more than one grizzly upon the
site of Healdsburg. His death recalls an
incident which happened in the days
when the stage ran from Petaluma to
Healdsburg and the road agent was in his
prime. He was passenger on the stage
once when it was held up and the driver
killed. Ragan was sitting next to the
Jehu. and holding the dead man with one
hand he steered the coach and four with
the other, saving valuable booty which
would otherwise have been lost
Ragan came here in 1850. He farmed
the place now owned by l.. J. Hall for
years, and sold land now worth $4O0 per
acre for prices varying from a pound of
tobacco to first saddle. Afterward
he purchased a stock ranch at the head of
Dry Creek Valley, which he owned at the
time of his death.
Ragan was born in Tennessee, and
argonauted to California in 184S. For the
last forty-five years he has made Heads
burg his home. Those who know him
best will deeply regret his death, for be-
meath his rough exterior beat kindly
heart. Many man has been given start
by the pioneer, who now lies cold in death.
Ragan had been picturesque figure in
Healdsburg for many years. About ten
years ago he met several business reverses,
and, to insure himself proper resting
place, purchased lot in the cemetery
| and had an expensive monument erected.
He was e bachelor. and had no known
relatives in this State. He leaves an estate
valued at $50, coo.

There are some red wine grapes still
unsold and they are offered at from $14 tc

less figures some weeks ago are now com

1t is thought the second crop will bring

The prune crop is over and growers gen

A Queer Kitten.

w. T. CASTOR Of Forest has In his pos
session curiosity In the shape Of cat.
But one part is missing. The kitten
1t is 2 months old-is one of large litter,
and the only one not fully formed. The
kitten ia question has no hind legs, there
not even being sign Of bono other than
its vcrtebr;e back Of It's ribs. It's toll Is
fully developed and tho kitten uses 1t to
balance itself when sitting down. 1t
walks ard runs about as litely as any kit
ten, placing It's feet as u human does and
balancing itself to perfection on its front
legs, which are normally formed, but
larger and more muscular than usual.
A curious thing Is that when instinct
moves 1t to scratch as an ordinary cat
would with its hind feet 1t squats and at
tempts to do so, producing quivering
motion whore its missing hind legs should
join the body. The animal Is extremely
playful, using its mouth to catch articles
while In motion, or II string be dangled
before 1t, 1t will lie down, catch the string
with a paw, place 1t in it's mouth and
then dance of on It's two legs In great

luxurious music OF tho whistling pig, Of
which there arc many In that hiGh range.
This peculiar animal resembles fox more
than pig and weighs from 90 to 40
pounds. In color 1t ranges from dark
or iron gray to almost white. It's whis-
tling propensities arc marvellous, and
