MITCHELL VERSUS GOULD
The Los Angeles ATTORNEY Has
a Solid Backing in the
South.
Democratic Leaders Side With Him
In Demanding Action on
Financial Issues.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 2s.-No
event in the local history of the Demo
cratic party has caused as much interest
as the controversy between Chairman
Gould of the State Central Committee and
Delegate John w. Mitchell. tits the CHIEF
topic of conversation in political circles.
Some characterize Mitchell as man oil
small parts, anxious to bring himself into
prominence by the quarrel with Gould
while others, who know him best, pay q
high tribute to his honesty, ability and in
tegrity. His loyalty to the party is IN.
questioned, and the general opinion is that
he has taken proper issue with Gould as to
who shall sway the destiny of the party on
the coast.
The silver question is in such state
that Democrats hesitate to declare them
selves, or, rather, Democrats in this part
of the State, who know not where the
party stands Mitchell is the advocate OF
honest methods, and believing that the
party would best serve its interests by
placing itself on definite basis, favors a
meeting of the State Central Committee to
determine the advisabillty of calling a
convention to declare for or against free
silver.
In this he is backed by most OF the in.
fuential Democrats of this section. Gould
seems to evade the question, but the feel
ing is now that be cannot but yield to the
demand to call committee meeting. The
sentiment in Southern California is for the
free coinage of silver, and whether Mitchell
is selected as the leader of the Southern
Democrats or not, the feeling is that such
issue should be pushed to finish

SANTA ROSA, Gall, June 29.-Never
has such an audience filled the Atheneum
as that which packed the building this

DISPLAY OF RESOURCES.
Funds Being Raised for the
Permanent Exposition to
Be Established.
HORTICULTURAL MEN MEET.
Samples OF Fruit, Grain and
Grasses Secured by the
Committee.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 29.-Sonoma
County is to hold a winter fair. At the
meeting of the Horticultural Society to-
day February was chosen as the time and
Santa Rosa as the place for the exhibit of
the county's resources. In addition, the
permanent exhibit to be located in Santa
Rosa has been given a decided impetus.
The meeting was largely attended and
very enthusiastic. M. Braughter, chair
man of the committee on permanent ex-
hibits of resources OF Sonoma County, re-
ported that he had secured subscriptions
to considerable amount. E. Hart stated
that he had gone through the county and
had found many orchardists who were
willing to send samples of their fruit in
glass jars for exhibition. Ira jerks, who
had charge of the Lake County exhibit at
the Mldwinter Fair, suggested that they
should make the exhibition an educator
for hort icultural men and that fruit should
be put in large jars and displayed promi-
nently. President Whitaker suggested
an exhibition OF Sonoma County grasses,
of which there are eighty varieties, and
this will be included in the display.
James Reade Watson of Guerneville
which he said the population of the cities
is increasing far more rapidly than the
rural regions; that the best blood of Seno-
ma County was going into the large cities,
and deplered the lack of country patri-
otism.
j. Young of Louisiana displayed speci-
mems of pecan nuts he had broaght with
him. They were superior to the variety
grown here in size and favor. The best
varieties, he said, were Papst, Centennial,
Van Deman and Stuart.
Colonel Mcdonald of the State Board of
Horticulture introduced the subject of
Vedalia CARDINALS and other scale-destroy-
ing insects, including one lately imported,
which destroys all varieties of scale, and OF
which he has a supply for any one in need
of them. 1t is becoming more and more
apparent, he said, that it is not necessary
to spray for the destruction of scale, as the
imported insects and our own native spe-
cies are keeping the pests under control.

account of the elopement of Lawson's wife
and Sam Daulton was given.
Lawson, at considerable length, told the
CALL correspondent of how Daulton was
the cause of his downfall.
Daulton aienated Mrs. Lawson's affec-
tons from him, Lawson said, and was the
cause of his attempt to shoot her at a
dance at Belleview last winter. AS to the
elopement, Lawson said that he did not
believe it, as they had no occasion to do
SO. They are, and have been for some
time, living together at bis ranch in the
foothills near CascadeI. Lawson became
very much excited as he talked of Daulton.

and half ago." said the prisoner. "On
every occasion Daulton would seek my
wife's company, and this was the cause OF
the shooting at the dance. Now l tell you
paulton shot first at that dance. I did not
shoot until Daulton had tried to interfere
by taking shot at me-"
In mentioning the shooting of his child
Lawson repeatedly and decidedly said ii
was an accident. Lawson is not bad
looking man. He is in poor health, owing
to exposure and vigilance ia his fear OF
pursuit. Since his second escape from the
MADEIRA Jail he worked at different places
through the foothills. In places where he
was not known he went by the name OF
"Jim" Johnson.
The news of Mrs. Lawson's elopement
with Daulton was confirmed to-day.

MIR. Wilson, formerly of Springfield, be-
came enthusiastic over it and began it's
manufacture. He became connected with
the factory at Boston. When the gun was
perfected it became evident to us that as
soon as the manufacture is commenced on
any large scale the factory cannot handle
the whole business. The principal factory
we want located on this coast, where the
headquarters of the corporation are.
Stockton seems now to be the most enter
prlslng city on the coast, and we believe
that those who will be benefited will show
commercial enterprise enough to assist in
getting the gun plant from Boston to this
coast.
stockton offers many advantages for
manufacturing purposes, and if matters
can be arranged satisfactorily we will GER
tainly come here"
Mr.. Swift will remain here short timo
to see whether the business men will take
up the offer of his company, and if
they do will then go East to arrange for
moving the plant to this coast. As the
bonus asked is comparatively insignificant
Stockton is already assured of the plant.

MIR. Mitchell was delegate to the last
Democratic State Convention, and in the
campaign that resulted in the election of
Budd he took an active part and rendered
valuable assistance to his party. He then
stumped the State, and his speeches were
said to be among the very best anti-elec-
ton efforts made in the State in recent
years. He is one of the most zealous
friends and ardent admirers of Governor
Budd that the executive has in Southern
California.
Then came the succession of Mahonism

seemed poor prospects in the Old Domin-

ASK A THRILLING BONUS.
Proposition of the Ostrander
Company Likely to Be
Accepted.
THREE THOUSAND GUNS DAILY
A Splendid Enterprise Attracted by
the Fame Of the San Joaquin
Metropolis.

STOCKTON, CAL, June 29.-There is
every prospect that Stockton will have 8
gun factory before long to add to her fame
as manufacturing city. Attorney Charles
J. A. Swift of San Francisco, representing
the Ostrander Repeating Gun Company, is
in this city for the purpose of seeing wha,
arrangements can be made for moving q
gun plant from Boston to Stockton. The
machinery that the company eontem-
plates giving to this coast is worth about
$4,000 and the factory, as it stands, turn
ing out some 5000 guns daily, employs
forty men. This number will be increased
to 100 when established here.
Mr.. Swift said to-day: ave do not ask
for any land or any building. The men
employed in the factory will be skilled
laborers and good class Of citizens, and a
gun plant always enhances the value OF
property near which it is located. Many
fortunes have been made out of the manu-
facture OF guns, and as we claim to have
the best gun in the world, we shall be able
to establish lucrative business wherever
we CO. 1t will be good business to have
in any community. San Francisco has
stood by and watched all the experiments
made in connection with the perfection OF
the gun and has never offered assistance or
encouragement. Now that we have got
the ostrander gun to perfect state we
are independent.
"We think that if any community wants
to secure such an enterprise as ours II
should show its desire in some tangible
way. We do not ask much, but we will be
put to an expense of from $500 to $1,000 in
moving the machinery out from the East
and think that any city wanting to have
the gun plant established within it's limits
should stand some of the expense Of NOV
ing it. We are already negotiating with
O. s. Young of your city with reference to
a site and buildings for our factory.
II am going East soon to arrange for
moving the machinery out here. We
think that better results can be accom-.
plished by having this place for the head
quarters of the company, which is Cali
fornia concern.
"Mr. Ostrander is now in the East look
ing after the manufacture of the gun he
has patented. When he first took the gun
East the American Arms Company, which
has since become the United States Gun
Manufacturing Company, took it up and

LOS ANGELES. CAL, June 29.-Edward
Harrington, formerly conductor on the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and for a
time superintendent of an eating-house on
that line, was brought to the police station
tonight charged with being an ordinary
drunk. Later it was ascertalned he was

that he took an overdose of morphine to
counteract the effects of debauch. His
condition is critical, and whether he took
the poison himself or it was administered
by others is not known. Harrington is still
