THE ETZLER CASE
II is Decided In Favor of Detective A. B.
Lawson

Judgment was given for defendant yes
terday by Judge Mckinley in the case of
G. A. Etzler against Detective A. B. Law
son ct al. to set aside an agreement
claimed to have been obtained by fraud
In deciding the case Judge Mckinley
held that the appearance of Etzler on the
stand and his manner of testifyng was
not in his favor; that he made the assign
'ment while duly sober and possessed of
his faculties; that there was nothing to
show duress or coercion, and that there
was no fraud practiced in obtaining the
assignment.
Etzler was the original informer in the
Roscoe train robberies. and Lawson pro-
cured the confession of Alva Johnson, one
of the train robbers. The matter of the
rewards is now pretty well settled, and

GRAND JURY DISCHARGED
There Was an IrreguIarity In the Manner Of
Its Impanelment

ncro WI III ufHfTty
Its Impeachment
When the roll call of the United States
grand jury took place yesterday morning
in the District Court, Judge Wellborn told
its members that he was convinced an ir-
regularity had occurred during its i'm
parchment il, the fact that the names of
the twenty three persons who were quail
fed and not excused, should have been or
dered placed in the jury box and that the
requisite number should have been drawn
from it to constitute the grand jury in
stead of ordering the calling Of the first
twenty-one from the venre in the order
in which they appeared thereon.
For that reason the District Judge or
dered the grand jury discharged and q
venire was then issued for fifty grand
Jurors, returnable April 4.

Sent to the County Hospital

Bernard Etcheverry, a young Basque
sheepherder. was examined yesterday for
insanity before Judge Shaw. and oredered
sent to the county hospital for one week.
He was brought to the county Jail from
Pasadena to serve five days for disturbing
the peace and while there became insane.
He has severe pains in his head and re-
fuses to speak. 1t is probably another
case of too much sour wine, which rest
and proper treatment will cure.

CHINESE GAMESTERS CONVICTED
Attorney AppeI's Novel Point of Want Q
Jurisdiction Not Successful

JuriSdfctiOn moi SUCCESSFUL
Sing Guey and Jim Sang, who had
been convicted in the police court of con-
Quoting a game of fan tan at 315 Marches
sault street in November last, and fined,
secured new trial in the Superior Court,
on appeal, yesterday. Attorney Appel
claimed that the Superior Court had no
jurisdiction to try the case; that after the
Superior Judge had, reversed the judg-
ment Of the police scourt upon questions
of law and granted a new trial. it was his
duty to remand the case to the original
court for such trial. While Judge Smith
believed that such course would relieve
him of considerable irksome work, he did
not believe that the statute contemplated
to give the police court exclusive juris-
diction after the matter had reached the
Superior Court on appeal The motion
to dismiss on that ground was denied.
The case then went to trial before jury
who convicted Sing Guey and Jim Sang
in short order. They will be sentenced
Monday morning.

RAILROAD RUMBI.INGS.

The depot at Buffalo is to be painted
red and needed repairs made.
Andy Heinzer is now firing between
Wallace and Slatease in Idaho, and
writes that business on the road there is
good; ten freight trains or more daily
and business humming.
A new scheme in railroading is pro.
jected in California; it is to be railroad
for railroad men, run by railroad men
exclusively. The road is to start at San
Diego, CAL, and run to the mining
regions of Nevada, and will be called the
San Diego, Pacific & Eastern railroad
No man is to be employed on the road
except he be a stockholder; the directors
and officers to be selected from men in
actual service on the road. No bonded
or other indebtedness is provided,
neither can any one own more than 500
shares. The plan is to have the railroad
men Of the United States interest them.
selves in the road. It is intended that
the earnings of the road, if any, will be
distributed to the stockholders in divi-
dends and only the stock subscriptions
used for building.

Struck BY Lightning.

The house of n, r. Farcswo1th at Rio,
was struck by lightning, the roof and
one wall considerable damaged, the
family shocked and the building set on
fire Saturday morning during heavy
rain storm. Fortunately the members
of the household did not come IN con.
tact with the electric current, although
a large hole was torn IN the roof almost
over their heads.
The bolt struck the kitchen chimney
about o'clock, as the family consisting
of Mr.. and Mrs. Farnsworth and three
children, were seated at the breakfast
table. The lightning demolished the
chimney and tore large holes in the roof,
on each side Of the chimney, several feet
in diameter. Following the wall and the
pipe to the kitchen stove, considerable
plaster was knocked from the wall, the
siding forced off and holes bored in
cooking utensils which were near the
stove. Holes were burned through a
large lard pail, in the stove pipe and
partially through o steel kettle, Us
though charges Of shot had been fired at
them. The glass in one window Was
entirely shattered. Fire started in the
wall of the house but was stopped before
any damage occurred.
The family were seated at the break
fast table when the bolt descended and
for sometime afterward were blinded
and stunned by the shock. They heard
strange ringing noises in their ears and
it was several minutes before they fully
regained their faculties. It is needless
to say that they were "broke up" for the
remainder Of that day.
The building is insured in the James
River Mutual Fire and lightning as
sociation and loss fully covered.

is easy to see that more breaking
is being done than for several years.
Quite number of farmers are taking
advantage of tho easy breaking and
turning over new ground or soil
that has been allowed to go back.
The chief reason why more new ground
is not being plowed is lack Of feed for
teams. Strange to say the feed question
is always problem with farmers. A
great many teams are now out on grass
that should he plowing for future crops.
There is abundant OF moisture in the
ground at present. Pools Of water are
standing at intervals along the road, but
not IN any great numbers or extent. The
ground has absorbed an immense amount
of rainfall OF late, and breaking plows
turn up moist, wet earth as deep as the
point is thrust. OF course the grass is
growing rapidly and stock, allowed to
feed on it, are getting on flesh very fast.
The entire country has bright, green.
promising look, and the people Of every
occupation feel more of assurance for
the future than for several seasons.

families have moved in and either fled
upon or bought of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, some of the finest
grazing lands that North Dakota sun
shines upon. The settlers have picked
out a region aboundlng in rich grasses
which not only carpet the swales but the
sides and tops OF the hills, and where
hay is found IN almost unlimited qIan.
titles in extensive meadows. These SET
tiers are sturdy, honest, peaceable citi-
zens and by the strict economy which
they practice bound to be successful
sqriculturalists wherever they are.
They have occupied country which
heretofore las only been entered lnfre-
quently by traders or hunters, which
only needs the introduction OF small
amount OF capital to be largely produc-
tive and turn the native grasses into
beef and mutton with certainty and Sc
curity. This is believed to be only the
advance guard of still greater emigra-
ton which will ultimately occupy every
vacant quarter in the western part of the
county. jamestown will of course, be
their main trading point and will be
benefited thereby.
