Los ANGELES, March 3.-Frank NJ.
Ward, an attorney, committed suicide at
q O'Clock this morning by shooting him
self through the head. at the residence of
his brother-in-law, Henry Barclay, at
1921 Market street.
Two weeks ago, Ward, who has been in
lll-health for many years, was seized
with three violent hemorrhages. He re-
covered from these, however, but COM
pIaIned of pains III the chest. 1t was TO-
tIced that since the attack he seemed to
be very depressed over his condition, and
acted as if he had entirely given up in de-
spair. Last evening he spent couple of
hours on the porch with the members of
the family as usual, and then cheerfully
bidding them good night, retired about
8 O'Clock. At $3.50 o'clock shot was
heard coming from his room.
Upon entering the room a ghastly
wound was discovered in his head. The
weapon with which the deed had been
done was OF small caliber, and had fallen
from his right hand and lay on the floor.
Coroner Campbell was notified and held
an Inquest at the residence. The verdict
was suicide, induced by despair from his
financial conditions.

gang visited the hotels and saloons fre-
quented by the railroad men, where a
large portion of the checks had been
cished or traded in, and bought them up
for cash. III value, the checks ranged
from $40 to SlO0, each one was success
fully raised to 81 900. In every instance
the raised checks were rendered Tor small
purchases, so that the gang got nearly
the entire amount III cash.

EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS.
Woodland Democrat.l
The appointments made by Governor
Budd are thoroughly cOmmendabIe from
a business as well as a partisan stand
point. 1t would be indeed remarkable
ii some OF the men he has chosen, or will
choose before the close Of his admins
tratlOn, may not prove as competent
executive oluCerS as from their reputa-
ton and standing, he had right 10
ex pect. Some risk has TO be taken in
appointing untried men, even though
they are excellent citizens In the
choices he has thus far made he has
employed the methods OF selection he
would use if he were at the head of
great business enterprise, and we are
confident that the application of this rule
Will result In comparatively small num-
ber of disappoiutments. While his poll
icy has been TO select men of his own
party, he has been careful TO select only
such as he beloved to be honest and COM
petent, and in not a single instance has
MS action been such as TO i'm pair the con-
Iideuc6 of the people that his adminstra-
ton viii be an honest and an efficient

THAT INVESTIGATION.
Stockton MaI.I
The Ways and Means Committee at
Sacramento has decided by vote Of
eight to two to report unfavorably upon
the bill proposing an investigation of al
legged Official corruption i'll San Fran
cisco. The bill carries an appropriation
of $50, 600, and the majority of the mem
bers OF the committee are OF the opinion
that the people of the State should not be
made to pay Tor local Investigations. The
people themselves are OF the same mind,
and they are, besides, becoming weary
of the tarcical proceedings In connection
with the proposed investigation ana
would not be sorry to see the Legislature
drop the whole matter and spend the rev
remaining days OF the session in lntelIl-
gent legislation.

VIRGINIA New, March 3.-A meteor
of unusual size and brilIiancy flashed
acrss the sky from the western to the

y local observer who had an uninter-
rupted view of the flight of the visitor
says 1t shot out of the western horizon
from behind Mount Davidson. Its ap-
pearance was heralded by noise like the
roar OF an approaching tempest, which
sWeiIed into tones resembling those OF
distant thunder as it swept over the
town. When it reached the zenith the
light radiating from ii was of binding
brIIlianOy, and its course was marked by
a trail of fire.
Its contact with the earth was followed
by an explosion, the report of which was
heard Two minutes atterward. The point
OF collision was apparently in the range
of hills east of Fort Churchill. about
thlsty miles distant from hers.
The size OF the meteor is variOuly esti-
mattel at from thirty TO fifty feet in diam
eter by those who observed its flight, but
when 1t struck the earth the flying parti-
