every day to discuss the various PROPOSE
tons received. Negotiations with prop
erty-owners are now SO we'll under way
that the members of the committee state
that there is now little fear of trouble in
getting any one of FIVE routes. Senator
A. ]. Pedlar, chairman of the committee,
has had several conferences with Engineer
Storey as to what has been done here. A
route will be finally chosen after the COM
mittee has consulted with the board of
directors of the road and with the citizens
of Fresno.
There are five proposed sites for the
depot. One is the Hughes tract, and the
others are in Windsor Terrace, Belmont,
Forthcamp and Orchard Hill additions.
All of these are on the east side of the city,
but site on the west side will be chosen
if the route is planned through that part
of the city
Land-holders along all OF the proposed
routes have been approached for rights of
way, and there will probably be few, if
any, condemnation suits necessary. The
land proposed for depot sites can be pur-
chased for from $500 to $500 an acre, and
the company would like about forty or fifty
acres. The committee is meeting with
even more encouragement than it ex-
pected, and in short time will have a
definite proposition to submit to the direc-
tors and the citizens

Vile the end of the war was in sight-was

record of the Hartford was not yet closed.
1t closes with the account of the action
on the island of Formosa, June, 1867, when
Commander G. E. Belknap landed force
of 181 men and punished the cannibal
natives who had killed and eaten the cap

While L. E. Woodbridge, prominent
young farmer, was driving to his home,
his horse became unmanageable in a
narrow portion of the road Mrs. O. R.
Beckert drove up, and, provoked at not
being able to pass, spoke sharply to Wool
bridge. The latter, exasperated by his
struggles with the horse, made reply and
somo impolite words were exchanged.
Mrs. Beckert felt insulted, and on reach

Not knowing the mans name, she de-

man who answered the description, be
bounced upon him and beat him severely,

take the punishment.
On Monday the young mans father
swore out a warrant for Beckert's arrest.
Beckert pleaded guilty to a charge of bat

The latest development in the case is an

MURDERED IN AR|zO Ma
The MutiIated Bodies of Four
Prospectors Found Near
kingman.
Martin B. Hall of San Diego
Numbered Among the
Victims.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, July A.-Authentic
advices have been received that Martin B.
Hall, who left San Diego on June IL, for
Phoenix, Ariz., was found dead thirty miles
from Kingman few days ago, together
with the bodies of three other men who
had left Kingman for one of the mining
camps in that part of the country. No
particulars as to how the men met their
death are known, beyond the fact that
they had been foully murdered. This wan
plainly shown by the condition of their
bodies, which were horribly mutilated,
and the heads of all the men crushed in.
This is all the information that has been
received by Mrs. Hall, who, since her hus-
bands departure for Arizona, has been
awaiting notification TO join him. Halls
body was the only one that could be
identified, and this only by means of
papers from an ODD Fellows lodge in Kan
sas, of which he was member. All the
bodies were badly decomposed, the men
evidently having met their death soon
after leaving Kingman.
Persons somewhat familiar with the
country surrounding Kingman, one of the
widest portions of the Territory, believe
the men were killed by treacherous
Chimehuevas. The crime may, how
ever, have been committed by miners
| jealous of new-found diggings, but this
seems less plausible, in view of the fact
that the bodies were mutilated. The
wounds upon the bodies had apparently
been made by stones or heavy blunt in
! struments.
Hall was only 30 years DID, but had had
considerable experience. He first estab-
lished a hotel in Kansas City, known as
| the Grand Missouri, now one of the lead
| ing hostelries there, and was also con-
nected with hotels in Kansas. He was
| married last Septem Der in Pittsburg, Kans,
his wife having been Miss May Fretig,
whose father is a prominent contractor at
Topeka. Hall and his wife came to Cali
fornia last September. In Los Angeles a
few months ago he met with misfortune,
being sandbagged and robbed of $500 and a
watch and chain.

There is much regret expressed, espe-
ciaIly among navy officers, that she is not

ton does for the Atlantic coast, perfect
model of her original type-ftted, finished
and furnished with historical accuracy.
Since, however, no appropriation has as
vet been made for her engines or battery,
there is still room for hope that patriotic
sentiment may yet unite with motives of
economy to give US the old Hartford to
some extent, at least, restored.
1.-The old Hartford" as this pensioner of
Uncle Sam is universally called, is a mis-
homer. The Hartford is, indeed, a vet
eran of the war, and so is many man not
yet so years of age, and many another who
would Justly resent the appellation ''old."
But there are few survivors of the Civil
War, whether they be ships or men, that
can bear comparison with this honored
veteran in point of actual service in the
stress of conflict.
The average life of ship is about the
average life of man. And of ships as of
men it may be said, 1--WE live in deeds, not
years" Rightly, then, did Farragut call
her ''the old Hartford when but five
years had passed since first her keel cut the
water.

Hartford " as built at Charleston Nayv.vard

Hartford vas built at Charleston Navy-yard
in 1858, and IS therefore only 81 years old.
She was called a screw-ship of the
second class, which signi6ed that she car
ried certain number of guns. Her
draught was about nineteen feet and her
displacement nearly three thousand tons.
Under steam and sail combined she made
eleven knots, then considered a highly
respectable rate of speed, though only
about half that now attained by modern
ships carrying no sails.
OF the ninety vessels belonging to the
United States at the beginning of the war,
only forty-two were in commission. OF
these, only one, the Brooklyn" was
available for immediate service. The re-
naming forty-one were disporting in for
eign waters. The Hartford was then on
her way home from China. She entered
upon her first war duty in February, 1852,
under command of Captain D. G.. Farra-
gut, flag-officer of the western blockad-
ing squadron.

The taking of New Orleans was the first
action in which the Hartford had a part,
and had she been a sentient creature of ex-
traordinary perception she could not bet

personality of the man with whose fame

RELATIVES FEAR FOUL PLAY.
She Recently Came From Texas
and Had No Friends in
the City.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 4.-Mrs. Foley,
wife of Expressman Foley, came to the
police station with several lady friends
late last night to secure the aid of officers
in searching for her niece, Susan Teddy,
who had not returned to the Foley home
on Sonora street. The girl is but 16 years
of age and came here two weeks ago from
Texas to see what the California climate
would do for her health. Since coming to
Stockton she made no friends outside of
those who were searching for her last
night.
Several times during the past week Susie
had been to DR.. Glidden, the dentist, to
have work done on her teeth. Yesterday
afternoon she informed her aunt that she
intended to again visit the dentist and have
him finish the filling of tooth he had
been operating on. When the girl left the
house she wore short, faded, pink dress,
over which she had a white apron; on her
head was sailor hat, and she wore low,
buckle shoes. She carried white sun
shade.
As the girl went along Ell Dorado street
the little daughter of Mrs. Mcdonald, who
lives at the corner of Ell Dorado and Sonora
streets, and who knew Susie, endeavored
to overtake her. She did not succeed in
doing this, but as Main street was reached
she saw the girl go up the stairs in the
building at the northwest corner of Main
and Ell Dorado streets, in which Dr. Gid
denis Office is located. This is the last that
was seen of her. and she disappeared as
though the earth had swallowed her up.
The doctor denies that the girl visited
his place. The police are at loss for a
theory, except that the girl had been en-
ticed away from home. Captain Simpson
and Detective Marshall went to work on
tie case, but were unable to learn any
thing of the whereabouts of the missing
Susie.
The missing girl had not turned up this
morning, and her aunt once more visited
police headquarters for the purpose of as
sisting the officers in searching for her.

No trace of him was discovered. About

A brakeman says he saw a man who

Sacramento. The officers all left here this
afternoon bound for Sacramento. They
expect to find Brady secreted in that
vicinity. The officers are sure the fugitive
is Brady. His. tactics of constantly dou-
