Mrs. Jehu Accuses w. A. Keefer OF
Mining Fame.

Mining Fame.
Sarah Jehu of Alameda thinks she has
been swindled by w. A. Keefer, who is
somewhat well known in mining circles in
San Francisco. In complaint which she
has filed in the Superior Court she accuses
him of having palmed off upon her some
worthless shares in the Jupiter Gravel
Mining and Water Company, in return for
some property in Alameda. Mr.. Keefer
told her that the stock was worth about
$4,000, and that if she could not sell it for
that amount before January l, 1898, he
would reconvey the land to her and take
back the shares. He has never done this,
though Mrs. Jehu has tried vainly, to sell
the stock at any price. She sues for re
covery of her land and the rentals which
accrued on it.

"old homestead"

The "Old Homestead" will be at the
Macdonough Theater for the rest of the
week. The original engagement was only
for four nights. but so large have been the
houses that the managers were willing
to buy off Santa Cruz, where the company
was next billed, in order to prolong the
engagement here for half a week. There
will therefore be three extra performances,
including a matinee on Saturday after
noon. 1t is seldom that company has
made so decided a hit in Oakland as the
company which is now representing Joshua
Whitcomb and his many friends. The
sale of seats for the additional perform
ances will commence this morning at the
box Office. Almost every seat has been
sold for tonight.

A large body of free milling gold ore has

The county board in session at Redfield,

bushels of corn. The grain will be secured
by lien and chattels.

BIG FURRY IN WHEAT.
Government Report Causes a Stir on
the Chicago Board of Trade.

The bulls had Il great time on the Chi
cage Board of Trade Tuesday. May
wheat jumped up nearly 3 cents from the
opening price. and dissatisfaction and I'M
certainty marked the operations in the
wheat pit throughout the day. The bulls
seemed to have the best of it most of the
time, but the bears would not respond
to the challenges and the market closed
at 56%, Il fall of 1 cent from the highest
notch reached during the day. The furry
was caused by the Government report
which reached the Board of Trade after
closing hour Monday afternoon. The re-
port was to the effect that the entire
quantity of wheat in the farmers hands
amounted to only 25,O0O,OO0 bushels. 1t
had been supposed by the brokers' that
the quantity on the farms reached at least
13S. 100000 bushels. When it was learn
ed that the estimate was far above the
actual quantity of wheat in the farmers
hands, the faces of the bears became
gloomy and the bulls beloved with joy.
On the New York Board the excitement
was intense. Very few traders had been
expecting less than > 100000 bushels
farmers reserves, and the statement
therefore came like Il thunderbolt. Trans
actions up to noon were over o,OOO,O0O
bushels, a larger total than is reached in
many entire days. May advanced nearly
&c Il bushel, selling ut G2c soon after the
opening. II the improvement was sus-
tanned throughout the forenoon, with very
little trouble. Corn also had an active
opening and Il sharp advance on the Gov
ernmcnt's statement that there were only
415. 100000 bushels of farm reserves,
against $50, 000, 600 bushels a year ago.

An old woman of Il thrifty turn Of

any town. Some time ago her husband
lay very i'll and the doctor had said
that he had not more than Il week to

to have her husbands mdicine put up,
and thinking it would save her a sec
ond long journey, she took the opportu-
nifty of buying the cake and wine for
the apparently inevitable funeral. On
her return her dying husband interrO-

There is an old soldier in Woodstock,

and i'm the war of the rebellion. Mr.. Levi
McInturtf. He passed through both
these wars without Il serious wound. The
hardships. however, told seriously on
him. for when the grip attacked him four
years ago it nearly killed him. Who can
look on the intirmities of Il veteran with
out a feeling of the deepest sympathy?
His townspeople saw him confined to his
house so Frustrated with great nervous
ness that he could not hold Il knife and
fork at the table, scarcely able to walk,
too. and as he attempted it. he often Stun
bled and fell. They saw him treated bv
the best talent to be had-but still he suf-
fered on for four years. and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however. he
was struck by the account of a cure which
had been effected by the use of DIR. Will

a box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. Tho blood found its way to

was soon enabled to use his knife and

TAYLOR ARRESTED IN MEXICO.
Man Who Robbed South Dakota of
Half a Million Said to Be Caught.

Advices announce the arrest of w. W..
Taylor, the eX-State Treasurer of South
Dakota, who absconded with thousands
of dollars. Details of the arrest are mea-
ger. Detectives employed by the State
of South Dakota have been pursuing
Taylor, their last trace of him being gain
ed at Memphis, where, for some reason
not yet explained, the chief of police, af-
ter having Taylor in custody, released him
before officers could arrive with eXtradi-
ton papers.
His capture was effected last Sunday in
Mexico by Pinkerton agents. Taylor.
under the name of Mason. and Il compan-
ion, calling himself Phelps, went to Ha-
vana several weeks ago, and the chief
of police of that city was paid $4,000 to
locate Taylor, which he did on IL steamer
bound for Vera Cruz, Mexico. This in
formation was wired to the detectives and
they arranged to intercept the boat when
it reached Mexican soil. All the neces-
sary arrangements were made meanwhile,
and when Taylor stepped ashore he was
promptly placed under arrest.
Walter w. Taylor was State Treasurer
of South Dakota and resided ut Pierre.
Jan. s, 1894, he disappeared, and it was
discovered that his accounts were $500
900 short. He was traced to Chicago,
where it was learned that he had deal
ings with his attorney, ID. X. Tenney.
Jan. 10 the senate and House of South
Dakota passed an appropriation of $1,000
to be offered as Il reward for the arrest of
the absconder. This sum was increased
by the bondsmen of Taylor, who made
good his losses to the State.

The rest of the state officers, with the ex-
ceptlon OF the Governor, claim to know

ernor denies any definite information, but
admits that he would not be surprised to
see Taylor brought back soon.

FIVE VEN
Italians Who Killed a Colorado Deputy
Sheriff Riddled with Bullets.

A few days ago Deputy Sheriff IIiXon
was brutally murdered at Walsenburg.
Colo, by several Italian coal miners.
After pounding the deputy's head into a
pulp the body was hidden and was not
found until Tuesday morning, when Il
general alarm was given and bloodhounds
put upon the murdcrers' trail.
In Il short time the wcll-trained dogs
succeeded in running down four men,
who acknowledged having committed the
crime, and each e~ndeavored to lay it on
the other. Late in the afternoon an in
quest was held, at which the guilt of the
four Italians was plainly proved. Hixon
being Il very popular man, the feeling
among other miners and citizens in gen
cral grew to fever heat, and at the close
of the corOner's inquest, as the prisoners
were being marched to Jail, IL mob made Il
rush for them, and before the sheriff
and his deputies could raise q hand to
protect them the bodies of the four Ital-
ians and another man were riddled with
bullets.
At this uncture Il general riot started.
One hundred or more Italians, seeing
their countrymen lying around dead, be-
came fren2ied, swearing they would have
vengeance before morning. Both factions
began arming themselves and at last ac-
counts were expected to come together at
any moment. The telegraph operator at
Walsenburg abandoned his post, leaving
no way to secure further information eX-
cept as it is brought into surrounding
towns by people who are fleeing from the
scene of trouble, or deputy sherilis seek
ing assistance.
