FRUIT DAMAGED BY FROST
Stockton Mourns the Death of Mrs
Helen Weber, the Widow Of
Its Founder.

SPOKANE, WASH, April 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the identity of the young
bandit arrested in California for the rob-
berry of the station agent at Arroyo Grande,
when S7281 in money was taken, was solved
sn part by the arrival here to-day of Cali
fornia papers. .
A picture of the unknown youth, letters
found in his possession and other circum-
stances show that he is Charles Clayton
Bump of Spokane, one of the best known
young men of this city, youth against
whom a breath of suspicion was never
uttered. The discovery has created an in
tense sensation here, and his mother is
Frustrated. Bump is graduate of the
High School, served for time as deputy
city clerk, was a member of the Baptist
Church, an ardent sportsman and swift
bicycle rider. He belongs to one of the
leading families of Spokane, his father
having built Bump block.
Matte" the name signed to letters
found by the California officers, is Miss
Matte Bishop, Bumps sweetheart. He
gave the name of Harry Bishop to the Cal
ifornia authorities. Friends and relatives
here believe there is some mistake and do
not believe that he is guilty. They think
that he fell among evil companions, and in
a moment of weakness accepted some OF
the spoils of robbery.

WAS KNOWN IN TACOMA,
Fielding, the Missing Drum
mer, Mourned by Many
Friends.
Death Supposed to Have Been the
End of a Protracted
Spree.

TACOMA, WASH, April Ill. d. Field
ing, the Eastern commercial traveller who
disappeared from the Palace Hotel in San
Francisco on Friday, was we'll known here,
and was one of the most successful travellers
who ever visited Puget Sound. He visited
Tacoma in March, and an evening paper
claims to have positive information from
one of his close friends that it was here
that he broke his good resolutions and
began the protracted spree which is sup
posed to have ended in his death.
Fielding was for several years connected
with the Taub Manufacturing Company OF
New York, but by reason of his frequent
sprees was finally released from his posi-
ton. His brother and sister-in-law did not
accompany him here, but remained in San
Francisco while he made quick business
trip through this section. He did not
attempt to do business here, but devoted
the few days he spent in Tacoma to drink
ing. The friend says that his spree ended
with his watch and mileage ticket being
held in pawn by party to whom Fielding
became indebted during the carousal.
Several local dealers who were asked for
information concerning Fielding spoke in
terms of high praise of his ability as busi-
ness man, and stated that his weakness for
liquor was the one fault that had always
caused his friends and relatives much con-
Germ. Fielding comes of rich and in
huential New York family, was about 81
years of age and unmarried.

A TRA|N-ROBBER TRAPPED.
Sheriff Bogard'S Slayer to Be
Arrested by Sacramento
Police.
Awaiting the Arrival OF Train on
Which the Desperate Is
Passenger.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 12.-Word
has Just been received at the railroad dis
patcheI's Office that Brady, the slayer OF
Sheriff Bogard, is on his way to this city
from Rocklin. The dispatch states that he
left that town either on the passenger or on
the freight, which leaves five minutes
afterward. The police patrol wagon has
been dispatched to the various beats in
the city and will convey the officers to the
neighborhood to await the coming of the
train.
For several days the detectives have
been assured that the robber, Brady, had
left the sheltering thickets of the Haggin
grant and had worked his way up the
American River until he arrived in Nevada
County, his intention being to escape
across the mountains and sink his identity
in the crowded cities of the East. The
man has been seen several times by pros
pectors, who Immediately notified the de-
tective forces, and for the past two days
armed bodies of officers have been scour-
ing all of Nevada County, and have evil
dently headed the man off and obliged
him to return to his fastness on the Haggin
grant.
A man who fully answers the description
of Brady boarded the train at Coliax last
night and was seen and identified by the
yardman at Rocklin, who Immediately
gave the alarm to the local officers. Before
they arrived at the railroad yard in Rock
lin the man had escaped on one of the
trains. They then notified the Sacramento
officers, who have summoned the police.

E1KGNs AT Los ANGELES.

He Emphdti cGIIy Denies That He Is a
Candidate for the Presidency.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, April n.-Senator
Stephen B. Elkins left here for San Fran
cisco this afternoon in his private car.
Shortly before leaving he was shown
statement published over the signature of
J. w. Goshorn, politician of Senator
Elkins' State. In this statement Mr..
Goshorn says he has long personally
known Mr.. EIkins, and he further knew
the Senator would come before the next
Republican National Convention as can
didate for the Presidency; that he had
already received pledges of support from
many leaders of the party, including Quay
and Cameron, and that his extensive busi.
ness connections would make him strong
in the East while his silver views would
attract the West.
When shown the printed statement by a
reporter Senator Elkins quietly laughed,
but good-naturedly denied that he was in
search of Presidential honors.
Why" said he, "being Senator from
West Virginia is good enough for me; but
as to ny views on the silver question, that
is another matter. l am unqualifedly in
favor of free silver, and shall work with
the West in an endeavor to give it it's
proper place. AS to how the question can
be handled 1 can say nothing now; but
you can put me down as solid silver
man"
When it was suggested that the latter
was perhaps the reason why Republicans
of the West would want him as a candi-
date he replied:
"You can say authoritatively that am
not candidate for the Presidency, for, as
l said, am perfectly satisfied with repre-
senting West Virginia in the Senate"

FRESNO ELECTION FRAUDS.

alleged Irregularities in the Counting OF

FRESNO, CAL, April 1.-THE Demo
cratic City Central Committee had long
meeting tonight to discuss alleged frauds
in the municipal election held last Mon
day. NJ. L. Woy, the Republican candi-
date, received majority of one over J. w.
Coffman, the Democratic-Po -Populist candi-
Gate. The committee had long consulta-
ton with the election officers, and they be-
heve that it can be proved that enough votes
to elect Coffman were thrown out because
OF some irregularity in the vote for some
other candidate. 1t is said, also, that one
OF the hally-lists has been changed. The
trustees will canvas the vote next Monday
night, and if Woy is declared elected a
contest will follow.

FRESNO, CAL, April 11.-Max Gumpel,
the San Francisco photographer and expert
in handwriting, occupied the stand most
of to-day in the second trial of W. A.
Sanders of Reedley for forging the name
of William Wootton to $1400 draft on the
Kutner- -Goldstein Company of this city.
Gumpel testified in the most positive man
ner that the signature to the draft was a
forgery and that it was in the same hand
writing as the signature to the deed by
which the " cotton ranch was transferred
to John Knausch, Milton o. Abbott and
W. A. Sanders.
Gumpel was cross-examined at length by
Frank H. Short, counsel for Sanders.
Gumpel illustrated on the blackboard the
difference between the genuine signature
of William Wootton and the disputed sig
natures, and declared emphatically that
the latter were labored efforts to initiate an
original.

There are no idle workmen in Santa Bar

1t almost seems as If the city needs some
such appalling disaster as the destruction
of her pavilion in the eleventh hour of her
preparations for the years grand event to
spur her on to demonstrate the full capac-
ity of her energy and courage. What
would have daunted alnaest any other town
and caused an immediate postponement of
her proposed festivities has moved Santa
Barbara to fresh endeavor and to new ac-
complishment. She is not only resolved
that she will begin her great floral celebra-
ton on the proposed date, but that she
will carry it on on much more magnifi-
cent scale than before contemplated.
The erection of new pavilion called
forth small army of workmen, but in
four days from the date of the burning of
the old one the new was ready for its roof.
Meantime as many hands as can be en-
ployed are busily engaged in putting in
place the great arches which span State
street and preparing them to receive their
floral decorations.

PERISHES IN HIS HOME.
Otto Lundt Meets Instant Death
In the Path of the
Torrent.
HOUSES ARE CARRIED AWAY.
Five Dwellings Torn From Their
Foundations and Borne Down
Mokelumne River.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, April n.-At
least one life was lost and property was
damaged to the extent of thousands of
dollars by the bursting of the Utica Water
Company's 8 reservoir, northeast of this city,
to-day. Without warning the fifty feet OF
the north wing gave way, and the 10000
gallons contained in the reservoir escaped
with rush.
Otto Lundt and his sister lived about two
miles below the dam, on San Antonio
Creek, and were in the garden when they
saw the water coming. The sister escaped
to higher ground, but Lundt, who is 80
years of age, attempted to save $500 in cash
and valuable jewelry which were in the
house. Before he could get out the torrent
struck the building and crushed it to
atoms. Although large number have
been searching for Lundt's body it has not
been found, and is supposed to have been
carried into Mokelumne River, twenty
miles distant.
Superintendent Thomas T. Lane and sew
eral attaches of the Utica Company had
narrow escapes from death. They had
been notified that there was danger of a
break and FASTENED to the scene. They
were standing on the dam when the reser-
voir wall gave way, and narrowly escaped
being caught in the rushing torrent.
Besides the Lundt house four other build
ings along the creek were washed away,
but SO far as known no other lives were
lost. The reservoir cost about $4,000. It
may not have to be entirely rebuilt, but
the Utica's loss will be at least $1,000, ex-
elusive of heavy damages which will have
to be paid to individuals whose homes
were washed away
