MINERAL.


Messrs. Gilbert, Manning, Croker
and Campbell are engaged doing as
sessment work on their several prop
critics.
Paddy King and wife returned to
their home in Mineral after nearly two
years absence in California. The
old gentleman Is very much discon-
certed about the shape in which he
found his house and place. Some
miscreant broke in and stole the win
dows and other things out of his
house. Mr., King says he knows toll
erably well who the party is. =
Lagrippe has made its appearance
in the camp. Miss Ida Flynn and
Mrs. King are suffering from an at
tack of the dreaded disease.
We are disappointed in our dry
hopes. A plentiful rain on the Goth
and 9th soaked the ground good.

must be the case, as a rule, in other
sections, and while our mutual adj
mlration may be very pleasant to
contemplate it is very delusive, and
leads to wrong conclusions.
The fact of the case is that the
gold party is as perfectly organized
as it is possible for money and intel
lect to organize, and not in America
alone but everywhere else where
capital desires to retain the control
that it now holds over the people.
All the governments of Europe are
gold standard This is natural. By
reason of this perfect system they
control where they see fit And
when action is required in any way
the results are not uncertain but
direct and visible.
Emperors, kings, presidents, sena-
tors, congressman, cabinet officers,
capitalists, manufacturers all are
found on that side of the question
and most powerful of all the press,
outside of directly interested local
tiles, with few exceptions, is con
trolled by the same terrible force.
If money is needed it is forthcom
ing without effort, and without limit
and the world is full of instances
where men have been hired to fgh
for their own enslavement.
Again in the financial religion o

any labor performed on the public high

must confine their Improvements TO the

A great deal Of money has been

The order was born of the retrench-

During Proceedings In the Libel Suit
Against tho Civic Federation.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-There was
an exciting scene at the Police Court pro-
ceedings this afternoon in the criminal
libel suit instituted by Dr. Marc Levings-
ton, candidate for Health officer, against
Rev. DR.. Ollie and three other members
of the Civic Federation, including l. J..
Truman, the President.
One of the attorneys for the defendants
testified that the defendants, when max
ing their charges against Levingston. ex-
pected to be arrested for libel, consider
ing the procedure in the Oscar Wilde
case as precedent in the matter.
Counsel for the prosecution asked if it
was intimated that DR.. Levingston is
guilty of crimes similar to those of
which Wilde was accused.
Not exactly that" responded the at
torney for the Civic Federation, 'but of
crimes just as bad, and we can prove
him guilty of all we have charged. His
suit is like Wilde's-a braZen attempt to
bluff his accusers."

FRESNO, June 1.-TWO men, one a
white and the other Chinaman, are in
Jail at Sanger, this county. because OF the
suspicion that one or the other is guilty
of having made an assault upon II
year-old daughter of q. A. Smith, a
farmer and vineyardist living four miles
north of that place, with apparently
criminal intent, and then attempting to
drown the child when alarmed by her
cries for help.
About $50 o'clock Wednesday the lit
tie girl went to the barn near her home.
and while looking for eggs was seized
and blindfolded before she could see her
assailant, who also quickly bound her
hands and feet with a cord. She then be-
gan screaming loudly for help, and the
fellow. picking her up, ran rapidly for
something over 100 yards and threw her
into Fancher Creek into water deep
enough to drown her, but fortunately she
quickly hoated to small spot OF higher
ground IN the middle of the stream,
whore she could stand with her head just
above the surface OF the water. She
screamed for help, but at that distance
from the house was unable to make her.
self heard.
She finally succeeded in getting her
hands united and the blindfOld from her
eyes, but was unable to get out of the
water, as the stream was deeper on all
sides than where she was standing.
A bout an hour and half after she was
thrown into the water her cries for help
were heard, and she was quickly re-
moved from her perilous position, so
weak from fright and exhaustion that
she could hardly stand.
Attention was then turned to the at
tempt to discover the perpetrator of the
diabolical act, but the result III that re-
spect is yet very doubtful. The fact was
soon ascertained that the Chinese cook
came in from the fields earlier than usual,
and was unusually late in getting the
meal ready. He was put under arrest,
and has eyer since been acting very
strangely, refusing to speak and hardly
raising his head to look at anyone. His
actions are supposed to indicate either
guilt or insanity. An unknown white
man was found in a haystack about half
mile distant from the Smith place, and
he was also placed under arrest.
All day yesterday the people Of Sanger
and vicinity were securing the country
IN search of the culprit and fresh evil
dence of his guilt. There is every prob
ability that if the crime is fixed ON any,
one with a certainty he will not be per-
mitted to reach the County Jail alive.
The tramp who was arrested in hay-
stack on an adjoining farm was brought
to Fresno at a late hour tonight by Con-
stable Irvine, and was lodged in Jail. Ii Q

and stoUtly asserts his innocence. ii 9
gives his name as John Wilson, and has
the appearance of a typical hobo. The
Constable says that the evidence SO far
against the tramp consists OF the fact that
tracks leading from the scene of the
crime to the haystack, where he was
found, correspond with those which he
makes.
The Chinese cook was released, the
evidence being insufficient to hold him.

fate at the hands OF the Supreme Court

All the Vessels Crew Except One
Were Drowned.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-A private
letter received from seaman on the
cruiser Charleston reports the laundering
at sea on the morning of May 10th Of
torpedo boat No. 16, of the Japanese
navy, off Pang Hui Island. in the Pesca-
dores. All the vessels crew, excepting
one man. were drowned. Among the
lost were two English and two American
seamen. The latter's names are reported
to be Alfred Lawson, formerly OF Hart
ford, Conn.,, and James B. Ransom, a
Californian.
The torpedo craft was commanded by
Captain Oai Osziko, assisted by Lieuten-
ant Muto. Fourteen men comprised the
crew. Osziko was a graduate of the
French Navy Academy, and one of the
officers in command of the torpedo
fotilla which did such damaging work
to the Chinese fleet at Wei-Hai-Wei. The
boat sank half mile from shore, within
view of number of Chinese fishermen,

trymen.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-The police
to-day arrested an all-around forge who
gives his name as j. c. Davis, but who
has a dozen aliases. He came here from
Oregon week ago, accompanied by
confederate, known as Mrs. NJ. Ii. Briggs,
believed to be the cleverest of the two
swindlers. Davis brought with him
number Of drafts purporting to have
been drawn by the United States Ma
tional Bank of Portland, Or, on the
United States Exchange Bank OF New
York. There is no such institution as
the last named. In other respects the
appearance of the drafts was perfect and
well calculated to deceive. The drafts
were made payable to one or the other of
the swindlers. the amounts varying from
S100 to $500. The pair victimized almost
every jeweler, furniture company, piano
and sewing machine firm in the city, by
making purchase. rendering draft in
payment. and receiving the difference in
coin. When jewelry was purchased the
pair carried it off. and the Briggs woman
is believed to have secreted many valu-
able diamonds.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-TEe formal
transfer of the Island of FormOsa from
China to Japan is announced in a cable

John w. Foster was also present. Adj
miral Kabayama acted in behalf of Japan
in receiving the new possession. The
