THE BARRIERS ASSOCIATION.
1t Declares Itself in Favor of Home In
dustries,

1t Declares Itself in Favor of Home In
dustries.
The BARRIERS Association at its meeting
last night received the report of the picnic
committee, which showed that there were
ga paid admissions, and that there re-
manned surplus of fifty odd dollars, which
was turned over to the treasurer.
There being considerable trouble about a
proper Interpretation of the constitution
and by laws, it was determined to revise
the same, and a committee of five, COM
posed of Less, Klitsch, Miller, Breitwisch
and Bernard, was appointed for that pur-
pose.
The association declared itself in favor of
home industry by the adoption of the fol-
lowing offered by Secretary Isaacs:
WHEREAS, 1t being q known fact that our
markets are daily becoming flooded with East
ern products. thereby taking labor from our
home mechanics and causing dizziness in home
industries, therefore be it
RESOLVED, That in the interests of the cigar
makers of this City it is the sense of this asso-
citation to promote the sale of homemade ci-
CARS and purchase none but those branded
with the California State Blue Label League.
Several of the members gave vent to in
dignation at the neglect of committeeman
in attending to their duties at the picnic
and, after a free exchange of opinion,
measures were taken to avoid causes of
complaint in the future.

near the river bridge. He had been
stabbed to death. No clue to the perpe-
traitor of the bloody deed could be had, al
though the buxom squaw now in Jail was
suspected,
Three years ago Henry Macmillan
killed San Juan. No one saw the deed
committed save Poche and Martinez.
Poche's conscience smote him and he came
to town and informed the officers. As a
result Macmillan is now doing time in
Folsom. But Squaw Martinez had the
blood of Macmillan in her veins-he was
her brother-and on that day she declared
that Poche should die by her hand.
So when Poche's body was found, and
Officer Norton went to work on the case, he
watched the squaw. This morning be
arrested her, and placed her in prison on
a charge of murder. 1t was learned that by
her Establishments the dusky.maiden had
lured Poche to taste of wine she offered
him, and when he was under the influence
of the beverage she took his life.
In Jail, Martinez Is naughty and morose.
She meets all attempts at conversation
with contemptuous silence, and has spoken
to no one. But there is wailing in the
tents of her tribe, and nightly the mourn
full chant of her mother. grandmother and
great-grandmother (for the Maxim ilians
are q race of long-lived Indians) can be
heard.
The date for Squaw Martinez prelimi-
nary examination has not yet been set.

CHARGES OF THE SON.
Insists That Mrs. Dora Frost
Robbed the Dead Mans
Body.
MONEY HIDDEN IN A TREE.
How Two Woodchoppers Became
Possessed of Part of the Old
Mans Wealth.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 23.-While armed
guards are no longer on duty at the Frost
residence, the opposing factions, headed
by Mrs. Dora Frost, the widow, and the
son Erwin, are not idle, and every move
made is watched. - 1t is said that with the
reopening of the inquest, which had been
continued awaiting the report of the chem
ist who is Analysing the contents of the
dead mans stomach, the contestants will
again assume warlike attitude, and blood
shed may occur.
Erwin Frost claims that his father had
from $4,000 to $4,000 buried in the yard
at the residence, and wants to commence
digging at once for the cache. The widow
denies this, and her assertions are backed
up by her adviser, William Winter.
Eezer Frost, who in his old age was a
believer in spiritualism, was at the time of
his death surrounded by mediums and be-
levers in that faith, and the son claims
that they exercised an undue influence
over his father. He asserts that imme-
diately after his fathers death the widow
and daughter, Mrs. Wissman, locked
themselves in room with the body Of the
deceased and removed from around his
neck bag containing map of the spot
where the treasure is buried, and it is to
keep these people from removing the treas
ure from the hiding-place that strict
watch has been maintained on the prem
ises.
Mr.. Winter, who has taken an active part
in defending the widow, denies that the
oilskin sack contained a map explaining
the location of the treasure and says that
all it contained was the pictures of the old
gentleman's spirit brides, which photo
graphs had been secured at the instance
OF a local medium.
At his fathers death Edwin limited that
all was not right and demanded that an
inquest be held. The stomach was re-
moved and an analysis is being made to
see if traces of poison cannot be discov-
cred. The Frost estate is worth at least
$125, 900 and as there are eleven children
lively time is expected before it is settled.
That the old man was in the habit of hid
ing his money is borne out by the story
that two woodchoppers engaged on his
ranch few years ago cut down the wrong
tree and found in its hollow trunk $4,000.
1t is said that the men immediately left
the country and that Frost never recovered
a cent of the money.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald was
greatly amused yesterday at request for
a wife made to him in writing from a
farmer whose postofice address is at Med

following letter, evidently in good faith:

The letter excited the Commissioners
ire. 'tDoes that fellow think that / am

said.
The registration of those who want work
is increasing every day, but as an encour-

coming in rapidly and many worthy
people are furnished with work every day.

A Los ANGELES WA|F.
Actress Lillian Waters Baby
Left to the Care of
Strangers.
Kept From the Orphan Asylum by
the Charity of a Poor :.
Woman.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 23.-The
three months old babe of Lillian Waters,
the actress, lies i'll in poorly furnished
room on South Spring street, and but for
the care of an old lady would occupy cot
in the Orphan Asylum. Neither the father
nor the mother of the child has contri-
buted anything to its support and both
seem to have completely deserted it.
The father is John Mackay Walker, the
son of John w. Mackay's old partner, at
one time millionaire.
Young Walker was employed here for
some time in the gas company's office, but
left some weeks ago for San Bernardino,
and his present whereabouts is unknown.
His marriage with Miss Waters proved a
failure, and shortly before the baby was
born he deserted her.
Mrs. Chisholm, who is caring for the
child, is very poor and cannot take proper
care of it and is looking around for some
couple to adopt it.

Detectives Investigating a Story affecting
the Durrant Case.

Detectives Investigating Story affecting
the DWrrant Case.
SAN JOSE, CAL, July 23.-Detective A.
B. Bill and Policeman Paul Smith of San
Francisco are here trying to secure evil
dence in the Durrant case. 1t is under
stood that recently two girls from San
Francisco visited San Jose and told a
friend here that they knew girl in San
Francisco who had been with Durrant in
the church on an occasion previous to the
deaths of the Lamont and Williams girls;
that this girl could explain why Durrant,
if he committed the crimes, had no blood
on his clothes.
AS the girls evidence would reflect on
her character it is thought by local Off
GERS hardly possible, even if her identity
is revealed, that she would testify to the
statement it is alleged she has made. The
officers have been here since yesterday
working on the case.
Detective Seymour said last night that
to his knowledge no officer had been sent
to San Jose ON any such mission, and he
was surprised when informed of the con-
tents of the above dispatch.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Crowley when
questioned about the young lady who was
reported as being so anxiously desired by
the police, said he did not know anything
about her. The police, he said would be
only too glad to know of any such person,
but they had only heard about her through
the neWspapers

Selling Fine to Indians.
HEALDSBURG, CAL, July 23.-The
courtroom was packed to-day when the
hearing of l. G. Laymance, charged with
furnishing wine to Indians, was called.
The prominence of the accused, who is a
leading church member and one of the
wealthlest men in Healdsburg, drew his
friends to town from all parts of the county
Attorneys Norton and Moreland and Judge
Rutledge appeared for the defense, while
District Attorney Seawell prosecuted.
Indian Joe Bill swore that Laymance
gave him gallon of wine which he and
other Indians drank. The confession of
Laymance, made to Deputy Sheriff Leard.
was not admitted in evidence, but the one
made before Judge Pond was allowed.
No witnesses were put upon the stand by
the defense, and after hearing the evidence,
Judge Pond held the defendant over to
appear before the Superior Court, fixing
bail at $4,000.
Laymance, who is "a years of age, has
been considered one of the pillars of the
better element of society of Healdsburg,
where he has resided over forty years. The
defense will try to prove his mental in
competency.
