SACRAMENTO, March II. = Miner
Young, who resides at Twentieth and O
streets in this city, struck Mrs. Yale on
the head with a stick of wood this evening,
inficting a severe scalp wound and slightly
fracturing her skull.
The woman had been boarding at his
mothers house, but had removed else
where. About o'clock tonight she called
at her former landlady's house to inquire
for some expected letters. Mrs. Young re-
quested her son to go downstairs and pro-
cure the letters. Instead of complying he
seized a stick of wood and made vicious
attack on both the women.
Mrs. Yale fed from the house but was
pursued by the young man who overlook
her and struck her senseless to the side
walk. He then fled into some vacant lots
and disappeared.
For years the young man has been
afflicted with periodical attacks of insanity
and is extremely dangerous at such times
Two years ago he bit a mans ear off, and
but few weeks back, made a savage
attack on a schoolboy with knife. The
police are searching the city in the hopes
of capturing him before he inficts further
injury to others.

CHINESE THUGS AT COLUSA
MIDNIGHT RAID ON THE CABIN OF
YAM KEE AND LOOT OF
HIS GOLD.
THE ROBBERS SECURE OVER THREE
HUNDRED DOLLARS AND A
SILVER WATCH.

COLUSA, March 17.-Four Chinese rob-
bers forcibly entered the cabin of Yam
Kee, a well-known Chinaman of this town,
this morning and robbed him of $3.50 and
a watch.
Yam Kee was aroused by some one
knocking at his door at 1 o'clock this
morning, and, thinking it was Chinese
friend of his who had not yet come in,
went to the door to admit him. No sooner
had he opened the door than Chinaman
thrust himself in with large pistol in his
hand. Yam Kee grabbed the pistol and
tried to twist it out of the robbers grasp,
but by this time four other Chinese thugs
had entered the room, and Van Kee was
knocked down androbbed of $3.50 in gold
and a silver watch, all of which was in his
pockets. The money mad been left in his
keeping by a Chinese butcher from some
town near by and had been received too
late TO put in the bank While Two of the
men were robbing Yam Kee the other two
went through the house, ransacking every
thing.
Yam Kee received severe wound on the
top of his head and one over the eye and
was pretty badly bruised. He says he can
identify the robbers if he sees them, and
officers are now out searching for them.

SENSATIONAL INCIDENT.
Appearance of an UnWeIcome
Visitor at a House of
Mourning.
A BITTER QUARREL ENsUEs.
Claims to Be the Legal Wife of
the Late Politician.

SAN RAFAEL, March 1.-Two women
stood by the bier of Jacob GRADER yesterday
and mourned his death. And both women
claim to be the widows of the dead man,
who during his life was held to be an
honest and upright citizen, who walked the
straight and narrow path, so far as man
who was interested in ward politics could.
Jacob Graber died on Friday. He was a
man in the prime of life, active in local
and San Francisco politics. He was the
proprietor of saloon i'll San Francisco.
His home was in San Rafael-that is, one
home, if the facts that have been alleged
are true. Yesterday the widow sat desc
late in the San Rafael home mourning her
dead, and six children were silently weep
ing for the father whose body lay in its
shroud
BY one Of the morning trains from San
Francisco there came a woman clad in
somber garments, who, with tears in ner
eyes, asked to be shown the home of
Jacob Graber. She went there and knocked
at the door. The widow, aroused from her
sorrowful watch, went to the door and
looked inquiringly at the visitor. For
moment the two women looked at each
other.
Il am the widow of Jacob GRADER and L
have come to claim his body and give it
burial" said the visitor.
Mrs. Graber looked at her in amazement
for moment, and then her anger over
came her grief.
"You are not his widow. He was my
husband" she said, and her eyes flashed
wrathfully.
Then there was a war of words that
aroused the neighbors curiosity, but
finally the two women, having exhausted
their anger, agreed to a truce until after
the funeral and both went to the death
chamber and gazed silently and tearfuIly
upon the immobile face of the man who.
ii the visitors story be true, has brought
double sorrow to two women and ten
children.
The facts, as stated by the woman from
San Francisco are briefly that she is the wife
of Jacob Graber. They lived happily to-
gether and four children were born to them.
They had separated, but were never divorc-
ed. She had seen the notice of his death, and
at once came TO San Rafael to claim his
body and, incidentally, take charge of the
estate.
After the burial of the late Jacob Graber
the matter will probably be ventilated in
the courts, unless the widow and alleged
widow should arrive at an amicable agree
ment, which, if the San Francisco woman
can substantiate her claim, is possible.
The burial of Graber will occur Monday.
He was member of the Veteran Firemen's
Association of San Francisco, and they
will attend the funeral.

Big ENTERPRISE At POMON A
A MILLIONAIRE EMBARKS IN HOR-
TICULTURE ON A GRAND
SCALE.
WILL UNDERTAKE THE CULTURE
OF THE Luscious GRAPE
FRUIT.

POMONA, March 17.-One of the largest
enterprises in the planting of fruit or
chards now in progress in this State has
just been begun within three miles of this
city by Henry NJ. Loud, millionaire of
Detroit, Mich, who owns about 600 acres
of fine fruit land in this valley.
Mr.. Loud has put 100 men, many oil
them with teams, to work clearing his
land, preparing it for planting fruit trees,
and has already purchased trees enough
to plant 250 acres to apricots, prunes,
peaches and olives, and $50 acres more to
oranges, lemons and grape fruit. He will
plant all his land to fruit trees this spring,
if he can get it ready in time.
Mr.. Loud is the first man to undertake
the production Of grape fruit on large
scale on this coast. He has contracted for
5000 trees of this variety of fruit,
all that can be had in this part of the
State for immediate planting, and the
success of his experiment viii be watched
with interest by fruit growers and dealers
in all parts of the country. Mr.. Loud be-
iieves that grape fruit can be grown sue
cessfully and with profit in Southern Cali
fornia
Grape fruit has come to be in demand at
good prices in the Eastern markets, and
has been one of Florida's most profitable
crops; but the recent cold weather along
the Atlantic coast killed every grapefruit
tree in that State. The planting of this
fruit in California will be limited for sew
eral years by the scarcity of trees, and
there is now no nursery stock in the
market that brings half SO high prices as
the grapefruit stock.

DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Minety-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be in
curable, there is the evidence of hun
dreds fliving witnesses to the fact that,
In all its earlier stages, consumption is
durable disease. Not every case, but a
large percentage of cases, and we believe,
InLLy 25 per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, even after
the disease has progressed so far as
to induce repeated bleedings from the
lungs, severe lingering cough with CO.
pious expectoration Including tubercu-
lar tnatter), great loss OF flesh and ex-
trefne efnaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such
cases reported to us as cured by Gold
en- Medical Discovery" were genuine
cases of that dread and fatal disease?
You need not take our word for it. They
have, in nearly every instance, been so
pronounced by the best and most ex-
perienced home physicians, who have
no interest whatever in 1niSrepresentiuC
them, and who were often strongly pref
udiced and advised against a trial of
Golden Medical Discovery" but who
have been forced to confess that it sur
passes, in curative power over this fatal
1nalady, all other medicines with which
oil and its filthy 'emulsions !" and mix
lures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to
benefit, or had only seemed to benefit a
little for short time. Extract of malt,
whiskey, and various preparations of the
hypophosphites had also been faithfully
tried in vain
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred naladies have been
skillfu1ly reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to your ad-
dress for six cents in stamps. Address

Mrs. Dean's Los Angeles Tfsftor.

LOS ANGELES, March 1.-THE elderly
man who called at the San Francisco Jail
to see Mrs. Dean, wife of the counterfeiter,
as stated in this mornings telegraphic dis
patches, is undoubtedly NJ. S. Lee of Los
Angeles, Notwithstanding the fact that he
gave his name there as Wilkinson. About
two years ago Lee kept a restaurant on the
second floor of the Wilson block in this
city, and Mrs. Dean, who was unmarried
at that time, acted as cashier. The res
taurant was a popular one, and many
people remember Mrs. Dean as quiet,
unassuming young woman OF pleasant de-
meanor and attractive manners. Lee
thought a great deal of his cashier, and it
is said he was greatly shocked when he
heard of her arrest a few days ago he
packed up his baggage and started for the
north, giving San Francisco as his desti-
nation.

SAN JOSE Y. NJ. c. as. TROUBLES
Efforts to Secure an Adjts tnaent of Its
Debts.

SAN JOSE, March ia meeting of the
newly elected board of trustees of the
Young Mems Christian Association of this
city will be held tomorrow to devise ways
and means, if possible, to relieve the insti-
tuition of its present financial difficulties
which threaten to strand it.
1t is suggested that joint session of the
trustees and creditors should be called to
determine if it is possible to agree upon a
compromise. The steps to call such con-
ference will probably be taken at the meet
ing of the trustees tomorrow. The debts
of the association amount to about $40, 900,
of which $4,000 consists of mortgage
upon the lot and large building that was
erected several years ago.
AT present the current expenses are not
being met, and the contents of the build
ing is under an attachment and in the
hands of a constable's deputy. Other at
tachments are threatened and it is feared
that the association may have to give up
its building.

Two SAN JOSE SWINDLERS.
PEOPLE OF THE GARDEN CITY AND
SUBURBS THE VICTIMS OF
SHARPERS.
The POLICE ARE Now ON THE
TRACK OF THE MEN WHO
WORKED THE SCHEME.

SAN JOSE, March 17.-During the past
three weeks two sharpers, claiming to be
agents of the metropolitan Art SCHOOL,
of San Francisco have been swindling the
people OF San Jose and the suburban dis
tricts.
1t has been their practice to solicit trade
for the mythical school. They would
guarantee to enlarge photograph in
crayon, paste or water-colors for 30 cents,
and handsome gilt frame would accom-
pany the photo, making the total cost 81.
Their office was at room "a, Letitia build
ing, and the pictures were all to be COM
pleted within week of the order. Fifty
residents of Berryessa paid the neces-
sary fifty cents, and as the pictures were
never enlarged they began to suspect they
had been defrauded. Late last evening J.
B. Thompson of that place swore to COM
plant before Justice Goss, charging the
men with obtaining money under false
pretenses, and this morning the officers ar
rested Oloff Swensen, the man who en-
gagged them. The other men could not be
found.
Several hundred photographs which the
men had obtained were found in a waste
basket in Swensen's room. Swensen
claimed he was not responsible for the
promises of his agents and was released on
parole.
