THE DEVILS GATE
Several Hundred People Visit the Place and
Inspect the Water Supply

Pasadena, Feb. % "A large crowd vis-
tied the Devils Gate on picnic today,
upon invitation of the Lake Vineyard
Land and Water Company, for the purpose
OF showing what has been done during the
past year in the way of developing water
and incidentally to have a good time.
The showing made was remarkable one,
and every one was surprised at the amount
and character of the work which has be en-
carried on. BY means of two tunnels
made in on the east bank of the Arroyo
Seco, for distance of about 900 feet, the
supply has been increased from 200 inches
last spring to 800 inches, which may be
depended upon the year around. The dis
covery of this source of supply was a most
fortunate stroke for Pasadena as under
the old supply water was becoming decid-
edly too scarce an article during the latter
summer months. The work was thor
oughly inspected by the people and jol
outing enjoyed. Luncheon was served at
noon, c. c. Brown acting as master of
ceremonies in his usual graceful manner.

STOCKTON LOTS.
Some of the Most Desirable and Choice Resi-
dence Property subdivided.


The North Stockton Town Lot Company,
composed of prominent citizens of Stock
ton and San Francisco have subdivided
into lots most choice section of North
Stockton. In every city that portion
favored as a residence location by the
Weather classes furnishes the most de-
sirable and profitable investment.
For years past the home-seekers in
Stockton have cast longing chances at this
| tract because of its peculiar desirability for
building purposes. The settlement of the
city has gone on beyond it some distance
1t is high and dry and within close prox-
unity to the heart of the city. One electric
line of the city, running on Ell Dorado
| street, a beautiful avenue, pierces the prop
erty, while another electric line passes the
tract on the east to the park.
This particular tract of Stockton can be
recommended to people of even limited
means, because it was bought when real
estate values were low.
The prices asked are in no way specula-
tive, but actually below the real value be-
ing fixed before the location of the new San
Joaquin Valley road at Stockton. Only $40
cash down is required per lot and S. per
month afterward, with no interest or
taxes. For the accommodation of Eastern
and local purchasers, ]. D. Gall, the agent
OF the above company, well-known citi-
zen and dealer of Stockton, has opened an
office in San Francisco, in the Nucleus
building, at the corner of Third and Mar
ket streets

BOSS BUCKEYES FEARS,
The Grand Jury Has Not the
Slightest Evidence
Against Him.
HIS ENEMIES SPREAD YARNS
Some of the Indicted Election Off
GERS May Cause
Trouble.

There is much speculation in regard to
the cause of Chris Buckeyes reported pre-
parations for a sudden departure from this
State. The story has been circulated that
the Democratic boss fears indictment by
the Grand Jury, but some of the most i'm
portant members of the jury freely state
that no evidence tending in the least
toward connecting Buckley with election
frauds or any other crime has been pre-
sentedIto the Grand Jury, and that there is
no indication that anything will be pro-
duced to trouble the blind boss in the
least. Some of Buckley's friends claim
that all the reports about Buckley's fear of
Indictment are started by Max Pepper and
GAVIN McNab out of spite.
1t is pretty well understood that Buck
ley has been begged by many of his old
lambs to do something for them, and that
he is unable to secure any positions at
present. One OF the stories circulated is to
the effect that Buckley represented to his
supporters that he would secure from
Budd the patronage of the Board of Health
and the water front. He may find out that
he cannot secure this patronage and he
| may prefer trip East to meeting his hun
cry henchmen every time he shows him.
self on the street.
1ue HILL SIOTy circulated ABOUT BUCK
ley is that he fears some one of the eighty
or ninety men indicted for election frauds
may volunteer to turn States evidence
and implicate him by their confession.
Then the witness would be brought before
the Grand Jury, with the result that
Buckley would be indicted. The friends
of Buckley say that the boss has no fear in
this regard, as he has assured them he can
be in no way involved in any frauds
They claim that the only chance for Buck
ley being brought into trouble is by the
Jobblng of his enemies, who may get some
one to make an alleged confession so as to
cast further disgrace upon the blind poll
tician.
The persons who are so industriously
circulating the stories about the boss claim
that Golf and another man, who were in
dicted for their connection with the cleo
ton frauds, were ready to make complete
confession, when Buckley learned of it and
did something which caused Golf to as
sumo ''stiff upper lip" and to refuse to
make the statement he was reported to be
ready to make. OF course Buckeyes friends
deny he bad any connection with the
matter.
AT all events the Grand Jury does not
intend to indict Buckley on what has been
brought before it so far. Whether Buck
ley fears that some one will produce some
entirely new evidence is what he alone
knows. 1t is certainty that great many
false stories have been circulated.

SHE IS NOW MRS. K0N.
Marriage of a Chinese Girl at the Presby-
terrain Mission.

Joe Kon and Miss Yeaung Peng, both
natives of China, were married at the
Presbyterian Occidental Mission, 920 Sac
ramento street, last Saturday afternoon.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. Ira
NJ. Condit, pastor of the Presbyterian Mis-
sion Church on Stockton street, and was
witnessed by Miss M. Culbertson and a
number of the inmates of the Mission
Home.
The young woman, who is now Mrs. Kon,
according to the laws of the State and the
rites of the church, was formerly slave
girl brought from China to be sold to the
highest bidder by her master. She had
been forced to live in a house of bad repute,
but year ago she managed to escape from
her prison den and voluntarily sought
refuge with Miss Culbertson in the Mis-
sion Home.
There she remained until Saturday last,
when the young Chinaman, an industrious
vegetable planter, claimed her for his
bride. Neither bride nor groom has pro-
fessed Christianity, although both show
the signs of its civilizing influence.
