The Weather of the Past Weeh Favorabl
for AU Products.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 6.-Directo1
for the week ending May 6, summarizes as
follows:
The average temperature for the week
ending May was: Fresno ga, Independ-
ence and Los Angeles 81, Sacramento and
Red Bluff 60, San Francisco 56, San Luis
Obispo So and San Diego "a. The total pre-
cipitation during the week was: Fresno
so of an inch, Independence trace, Los
Angeles 10, Red Bluff 1.2o, Sacramento
and San Francisco 80, San Luis Obispo a
and San Diego 10.
The deficiency of heat and excess OF
moisture and cloudy weather in the
upper Sacramento Valley and in the
greater portion of the San Joaquin
Valley have greatly increased the pros
spects for late sown grain to make toler-
ably fair crop, and have also extended
the life of the valley pasturage, but have
retarded the ripening of early fruits and
berries and slightly damaged hay in all
portions of the State, where cut. Three
thousand acres in the lower San Joaquin
Valley was more or less damaged.
Pears, apricots and prunes appear to be
a short crop, while some fruit is dropping
on account of the lack of sunshine.
Peaches will no doubt be very good
crop, as favorable reports are received from
the peach belts of the State, although curl
leaf is reported in some orchards.
The fruit crop appears to be considerably
shortened by the excessive dropping, no
doubt due to late frosts in April and ex-
cessive moisture along the rivers. where a
great deal of fruit is grown. Oranges and
lemons are making vigorous growth for
so early in the season.
Hay will be a fair crop and of good
quality. Hops are doing well and training
will commence in about ten days, more or
less, according to the location OF the yards.
The greatest need at the present time is
for more sunshine and warmer weather

Stricken Hith Heart Disease.
PASO ROBLES, CAL, May 6.-John
Marshall Pierce, one of the old pioneers of
this county, died of heart failure this aft
ernoon.
Mr.. Pierce landed at Diamond Springs
in 1850 and has since lived in various parts
of the State. Like great many of those
who crossed the plains in early days he
never married. In 1875 he moved to San
Luis Obispo County and settled on ranch
near Creston, which has been his home up
TO few weeks ago, when he took up his
residence with his brother, B. B. Pierce, in
Paso Robles.
The brothers were at work in the l. o. O..
f. Cemetery to-day. They came home at
noon, when Mr.. Pierce complained of not
feeling well. A physician was sent for and
found him in a serious condition. Medi-
cine was administered, but while the ply
sician and the brother we're talking to him
he suddenly closed his eyes in death. The
deceased was "a years old.

show may be regarded as favorable omen
Healdsburg's festival will be great sue
cess. From Mark West Creek on the south
to the northern boundary line of Sonoma
County every one is talking and working
for the Healdsburg festival. OF course
much interest centers upon the Santa Rosa
carnival, and this town will aid the county
capital materially in the matter of an ex-
hibit, feeling certain that Santa Rosa will
reciprocate by sending a display to Heads
burg's fete.
No feeling of jealousy exists. First for
the success of the Santa Rosa carnival.
then for the Healdsburg floral festival,
tournament and baby show.
Owing to the compact form in which
Healdsburg's business center is built, the
work of decorating will be comparatively
easy. This fact is not being taken ad-
vantage of, however, for the committee on
decorations is at work making extensive
preparations.
Nominations for queen of the carnival
closed to-day, but no new names were
added to the list. The heaviest vote yet
polled was recorded to-day, Miss Emma
Widlund again taking the lead. She has
an advantage of twenty votes over Miss
Livernash, who is second, with Miss Lena
Zane third, Zoe Bates fourth and Carrie
Moulton fifth. 1t is generally agreed that
the floral crown will be placed on one of

The Famous Sttit of Murdoch cs. Mtsr-
dock Stricken From the Calendar.
WILLOWS, CAL, May 6.-The cele-
brated case of Murdock VS.. Murdock was
stricken from thecalendar of the Superior
Court this morning.
This case was commenced last fall by
Mary Murdock against the estate of Will
liam Murdock, an old bachelor, who died
last July, leaving an estate valued at
$500, 900. Soon after his death Mary Muir
dock, through her attorneys, Campbell,
Metson & Reddy, filed claim against the
estate in the shape of note claimed to
nave been given by William Murdoch to
Mary Murdoch seventeen years ago for
100000, to run twenty years at 10 per cent
interest, which would now amount to
more than the value of the estate left by
William Murdoch. Why the case has
been dismissed is mystery to all here.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
The Gun That Vas Not Loaded Causes
Amothel. ProbabLu Fatal Accident.


SAN JOSE, CAL, May 6.-What may
prove a fatal accident occurred near the
Five-mile House yesterday. Harry n North-
up, young man 20 years of age, was the
victim and may lose his life. Northup, in
company with G. D. Adams and William
Knothe, had gone out to the Five-mile
House to practice target-shooting After
a target had been set up G. D. Adams
picked up 45-caliber rife that was sup
posed to be unloaded and sighted it at
the target. Just as he pulled the trigger
Northup, who had gone to the target to
get his coat, got in line of the gun and re-
ceived the bullet. 1t struck him in the
center of the breast and came out below
the right nipple, thence passing into his
right arm and lodging there.
As soon as possible he was removed to
the residence of his family in this city.
The wound is serious and the chances are
against his recovery.

TULARE coUNrY CROPS.
The Yield of Wheat Hill BE the Heaviest
in TtCeLre Years.

VISALIA, CAL, May 6-The yield of
wheat in Tulare County this year will
equal, if not exceed, any crop in the last
twelve years. The grain-producing acreage
is large and the late rains insure bounti-
full harvest. The yield will probably
amount to from five to eight sacks per
acre for the drier plain lands, and from
twelve to fifteen and even twenty sacks on
the low lands. The hay crop, which also
promises to be heavy, is already being cut
in the irrigated districts.
With the exception of apricots the fruit
yield will be large and in many places will
require extensive thinning.

PORTLAND COURT SCANDAL
The Federal Grand Jury Rec
ommendS an Attorneys
DiSbarment.
Lawyer Deadly Accused OF Forgery
In Connection With a Recent
Libel Suit.

PORTLAND, Or, May 6.-The Federal
Grand Jury to-day recommended the dis
barment of Attorney Edward N. Deadly,
son of the late Matthew P Deadly. The
jury endeavored to indict Mr.. Deadly on a
charge of forging the name of G. M. Hart
man to the intervening libel of ]. H. Day
ct al. in the case of Sutton and Beebe VS..
the steamer City of Frankfort, but accord
ing to the United States statutes, as in
terpreted by United States District At
torney Murphy, Mr.. Deadly has COM
rnitted no crime.
Last year Day, who was the master of
the steamer, and others brought libel
suit against the steamer to collect wages
claimed by them. In drawing this bill,
Hartman could not be found, so, accord
ing to the Grand Jury's statement of the
case, Deadly, who acted as attorney for the
intervenors, desired to have the name of
Hartman to the bill, and he thereupon, it
is alleged, wrote it himself. He went
further and placed his notarial seal and
signature at the bottom, witnessing that
Hartman and others had personally ap-
peared before him" and signed their
names, whereas Hartman was not present
at all.
The libel case was tried in the Federal
court and Messrs. Day and Hartman recov-
cred portion of the money due them
$3.50 to the former and 500 to the latter.
The steamer was sold and the amounts
were collected by Deadly and turned over
to Attorney Booth for delivery. Deady
made nothing more than was due him for
his fee.
Mr.. Deadly is not greatly worried at the
turn of affairs. He claims to have done
Hartman favor in signing his name.
The time for filing the libel was about to
expire when the act was done, and he was
not here. Unless he came into court with
the others at that time his claim would
have been lost. Therefore Mr.. Deady con-
sidered the act justifable.
The disbarment committee of the State
Bar Association will investigate the case.

The G. g. White was one of the best
known schooners on the bay and she was
one of the heetest craft that ever sailed
out of the harbor. She was owned by A.
P. Lorentzen and was chartered by Liebes
& Co. of the North American Commercial
Company early this year to go otter-hunt-
ing in the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Lorentzen. when seen yesterday, did
not place much stock in the story of the
loss of his vessel. When the first news
came of the loss of the George R. White it
was brought from Sitka to the Sound by
Engineer A. E. Biggs of the Francis Cut
ting, who arrived on the Al-Ki.
Mr.. Lorentzen bases his hope that his is
not the lost vessel on the fact that no later
news could have reached Sitka than that
brought by the Dora. on which Biggs was
passenger.
The G. G.. White sailed from San Fran
cisco on February % in command of Cap
tain Isaacson. AS far as can be learned
her crew consisted of the following: Mate,
A. w. Thompson; hunters, Dan Doole,
Il. Harmsen and Charles Haritwen; cook,
