poets in Local Trade
Circles.

A scow designed for saving gold from
river bottom sand has just left her moor
ings at the foot of Folsom street for work
on the American River. The scow is 60
feet long, IA feet beam and is fitted with a
20 horsepower stationary engine, one OF
the Krogh Manufacturing Company's No.
81 centrifugal dredging pumps, two Gold
King amalgamators; manufactured by the
Midas Gold-saving Machinery Company,
two screens and shakers, pipe, shafting,
etc. The idea is to pump the gravel from
the bed of the river, run it over the shal-
ers and screens, getting rid of the coarse
gravel and then passing 1t through the
amalgam3tors. The plant is to be oper-
ated by two men and can handle about
100 tons of material in a shift of twelve
hours. The enterprise is in the hands of
the NJ endota Gravel Mining Company.

A MILITARY SEPARATION,
Lieutenant Alex r. Dean of
the Fourth Cavalry Is
Divorced.
Also Alimony on the Ground
OF Desertlon.

A story of considerable interest to the
officers of the various army posts and par
ticularly to those at the Presidio is told in
the following gathered from the records of
the Superior Court:
Matilda Dean from A. T. Dean, for desertion,
by Judge Murphy. Plaintiff allowed S65
month alimony and custody of minor child.
The defendant in the case was Alexander
T. Dean, first lieutenant of the Fourth
Troop of Cavalry stationed at the Preside,
and those who know all the inside facts of
the case assert that his wife must have had
great provocation before she took the
above step. Mrs. Deans relatives are very
influential people in Washington and on
several occasions they helped Lieutenant
Dean out of serious predicamehts into
which his own folly carried him. Through
all his escapades his wife chung to him, but
latterly she was forced to return to her
relatives in the East and before her de-
parture she began the divorce proceedings.
Lieutenant Deans last escapade is mat
ter OF history. He was sent to the Yo-
semitic last summer in command of COM
pany of the Fourth. He was supposed to
keep watch and ward over the reservation
and see that no one broke rules laid down
for the preservation of the valley. Instead
of doing that, however, he got drunk, and
falling IN With the trumpeter or the troop
they proceeded TO have riotous time. The
trumpeter sounded "boots and saddles" at
2 in the morning, and the company turned
out in hurry, wondering what was the
| matter. When the cause of the alarm was
| learned the troopers were thoroughly dis
gusted, and some of them vowed they
would desert.
| The assertions were averted by the re.
moval of Lieutenant Dean, who was sent to
| San Francisco under arrest. He was court
martialed at the Presidio and ordered dis
missed from the service. The order was
reversed in Washington, however, and
Dean is still an officer of the Fourth
Cavalry.
Among the charges preferred against
| him in regard to the Yosemite affair were
that he shot the game he was supposed to
protect, insulted visitors to the valley and
abused his men. Mrs. Dean stayed with
her husband during all the trouble, and as
soon as he was reinstated she began suit
for divorce.
This was not Deans only offense. On
another occasion he broke out Just before
his troop started on an Indian trail. This
was in Idaho. Once before that again he
was in trouble but on each occasion he
was reinstated and escaped with repri-
| mand.

AMI the Election of City Clerk Removed
From POlitics--The Tax Rate Fixed.
Other Matters.


From Politics--The Tax Rate Fixed.
Other Matters.
Mayor Bald win and Aldermen Dean,
Davis. Rainey, Melton, Bishop and Low
rev were all present when an adjourned
meeting of the city council was called to
order Friday night.
A number of matters claimed the at
tention of the city's legislative body, and
the session lasted until nearly 10 O'Clock
The city tax rate was fixed, and prop
erty owners will pay into the treasury
between now and December 10th $40 on
the 81, 900, which is the same rate that
was paid last year. The levy for city
purposes is $3.50 and for school purposes
$3.50 on the $1,000. This will raise
about So 800 for the city and S4,5OO for
the public schools.
Another action of the council that will
interest the public was the adoption of
motion made by Alderman Dean to have
a bill introduced at the approaching SEES
sion of the legislature amending the city
charter so as TO change the election OF
the city clerk from the people to the
council. The object of this is TO remove
that office from the possible influence OF
politics.
An ordinance was introduced provid-
ing a penalty for driving a wagon or
buggy across fire hose,
he councils attention was called to
the recent ere 3tion of a couple of wood
en- stables in the fire limits. 1t was de-
termined to have them removed, as well
as all other buildings of a like nature
that have been erected within these limits
without the authority of this or former
council This order will likely affect
structures that were built several years
ago.
The clerk was instructed to open the
registration books, and all who expect
to participate in the election on the sec
ond Wednesday in December must call
at his office and qualify. The books will
close ten days before the election.
Chief Savage reported that he had col
iected S670 street tax.
The council then adjourned until the

Interesting Exercises in the New and Pretty
Baptist Church. Large Crowd ana
UnbOunded Hospitality.

UnbOunded sHospltallty.
The dedication Of the new Baptist

the faith once delivered to the saints"
He ressed the necessity of being faith

and impressed upon each individual the
importance of doing ones full duty in
life. The sermon was eloquen5 and full

spiritual feeling pervaded the audience.
The music was exceptionally fine, and
vas very much enjoyed.
The hospitality of the good people of
Herod is proverbial, and after the ser
wees thelarge number of visitors were
taken to various homes and entertained.
The church that was that day
dedicated to the worship of God
was recently compile led, and is build
ing that reflects much credit upon the
people of HerOd and vicinity. 1t is a
model country church. The following
