AN UNPLEASANT INCIDENT
1t Occurred During Funeral Service
at the Cemetery.

1t Occurred During a Funeral Service
at the Cemetery.
Members of Ell Dorado Lodge of Odd
Fellows are worked up over an incident
that occurred at the cemetery on Sunday.
They say that Superintendent Ficks in
terrupted the services at the burial of
Arson c. York by demand that he be
allowed to lower the coffin into the grave
and fill the latter Immediately; that he
said he had other funerals to attend to,
and insisted on cutting short the services.
Superintendent Ficks' explanation of
the affair is that in preparing the grave
for MIR. York's body it was found that
the msn cut into an old grave that in-
fringed on the lot, and that there was
danger Of the bank caving in unless the
utmost care was observed by those
handling the casket. His men were ia
miliar with the situation and knew how
to avoid an accident. and he wanted to
have them handle and lower the casket.
He says he requested permission to
have his men do this and then retire, and
that the service could be proceeded with
declined to accede TO his request, saying
that he was running that funeral and the
body would not be lowered until he got
ready to have it done.
Mr.. Ficks further states that ne was
obliged to leave with one Of his men to
attend another burial that was then
awaiting him. He says he has made it
the rule to have four men attend on each

A MINE IN FLAMES.
FIRE BREAKS OUT IN A SHAFT
OF TIE UTICA PROPERTY.
Narrow Escape of Workmen From a
Horrible Death-ImmenSe

ANGELS CAMP Cali, July 22.-When
the o'clock shift went down in the Z tica
mine last night a fire was discovered in a
stope near the S00-foot level, 800 feet north
Of the Sickle Shaft.
The scene following the alarm beggars
description. IS there are three shafts
the men were gotten out safely, although
some were u an exhausted condition. In
a few minutes the mine Was filled with
smoke and gas.
An Intellectual attempt was made to
smother the fire with steam. but flooding
has to be resorted to. Thirteen hundred
inches of water is now flowing into the
mine, and it viii require Is, ,000 600 gallons
10 reach the fire, providing it has not
spread much. This will require prob
ably ninety hours. and it viii take at
least three weeks to pump out the water
The loss may reach 500, 0G0
The Utica is the largest gold producer
in the United States. over 100 men are
employ ed, and at least 500 are temporarily
out of work. Seven men came near be-
ing left in the mine alter tile others had
escaped. Superintendent Tom Lane
thought of them, and taking man with
him descended and bulkheaded the burn
ing stope as quickly and as we'll as
possible.
They then descended farther and guided
tie men out. Their candles had been
extinguished and they had TO grope their
way. When they reached the top they
were in fainting condition. and had it
not been for the brave young Superin-
tendent, these men would have perished
in less than five minutes more.
In attempting 10 put in the bulkhead
last night in the north Utica shaft, about
fifteen fee. from the surface, more than
hundred men were overcome by gas. 1t
was thought two of them would die, but
now all are out OF danger. The escaping
gas is SO strong that many families in the
neighbornood had TO move to other quar-
ters. 1t is impossible to tell whether the
frs is spreading to any great extent.
The Utica is owned by Alvinza Hay

WRIGHT IRRIGATION LAW.
DECLARED UNCONSTTTUTIONA
BY JUDGE ROSS.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Securi-
ties Which May be Affected by
the Decision.

Los ANGELES, July 22.-Judge Ross of
the United States District Court in a de-
csion this morning declares the Wright
irrigation law unconstitutional.
The decision was on a demurrer in
which the constitutionality of the Wright
Act was involved.
The main points on which Judge Ross
decided the case were that under the
Wright Act the land was taken from
private owners without due process of
law. and that it was not for public pur-
pose.
1t was not like the taking of property
for highway, but was the taking of
property for the benefit of property own
ers, whether they be few or many.
Judge Ross in overruling the demurrer
declared that the Wright Act was uncon-
stitutional, null and void.
Among the clauses of the Wright Act is
one which provides for the confirmation
of the proceedings by Superior Court.
In this particular case the Superior
Court has not yet confirmed the proceed
ingS.
1t has been held by the United States
Supreme Court in reclamation cases that
where there is a confirmation proceeding,
and when after the close OF these proceed
ings the regularity OF the proceedings are
confirmed, then the case is adjudicated
and the constitutionality of the proceed
ings cannot be brought up.
Under the Wright Act bonds have been
issued to the extent of $40, coo, 600 and over.
and held all over this country and Eu-
rope.
There were thirty-three pages Of closely
written matter in the opinion, and il took
Judge Ross nearly two hours to read it.
The decision invalidates the S25, 900
bonds of irrigation districts in which
confirmation proceedings have not been
takaD
