SLY SAN JOSE CHINESE,
An Abducted Girl Welded to
Ouash the Charge of
Kidnapping.
The Bride Accused Of Having Stolen
Pair of JeWeled Brace
lets.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 1.-Soon Ho, the
Chinese girl who was abducted from the
home of her uncle in Heinlenville early
Yesterday morning, was married last
evening at Justice Glass; residence to Ham
Ket Soon. After the marriage the couple
returned to Chinatown, where Ham Ket
Soon engaged the best apartments to be
had and settled down to enjoy married
life.
But his conn ubial bliss was not to last
always, for this afternoon Charley Quong
swore to warrant charging the bride with
grand larceny. In the complaint she is
charged with stealing pair of ieweled
bracelets from him; but her friends say
that Quong made her a present of the
bracelets when the two plighted their
troth. This was before Ham Ket Soon ap-
peared on the scene and won Soon Hos
affections.
Soon Ho was arrested about 8 o'clock
this afternoon on the charge of grand
larceny, and bonds were furnished for her
appearance in court.
1t is said that Ham Ket Soon is none
other than Sing Gee, notorious abductor
of Chinese women, and that this is not the
first time he has married stolen Chinese
maidens to Quash charges of abduction.
It is understood that the charges against
Tom Dick and Joe Shuck, the men ar
rested yesterday for being connected with
the case, will be dismissed.

4 SACRAMENTO MYSTERY.
The Fate of a Prominent Young Farmer
Puzzles HIS Friends.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, July lit is
rumored that Charles Brockaway, prom
inent young farmer of Sacramento County
has committed suicide by drowning him
self in the river, it being claimed that ne
wrote four-page letter to his mother and
sent it home at o'clock this evening, and
stated in the letter that, as he was tired of
life, he intended to end all in the river.
Some time ago the young man sprained
his ankle by springing from his buggy, and
since that occurrence has been obliged to
travel on clutches. These articles were
found by two of the railroad brakemen,
lying near the switchhouse, close to the
bank of the river, but the men state that
they observed Brockaway standing near
the smoking-car of the westbound over
land train, and hopes are entertained that
he has gone to San Francisco, throwing
his crutches away to carry out the idea of
his demise. He is said to be heavily in
yolved financially.

FRESNO HARD At WORK,
Rights of Way Being Secured
for the Route of the VAL
ley Road.
All Necessary Contracts Expected
to Be Signed Within Ten
Days.

FRESNO, CAL, July 1.-THE railroad
committee the Chamber of Commerce and
Hundred-thousand Club have begun to
hold daily meetings to consult about rights
of way, routes, subscriptions, etc., for the
Valley road. AT these meetings the
owners of land along the routes proposed
will be asked to address the committee as
to what they will offer. The members of
the committee are divided into sub-com-
mites. each one of which is at work on
one of the six or more routes under con-
sideration.
The committee has not yet made public
the result of their inquiries as to the cost
of the different routes. Delay has been
caused by the necessity of having blank
contracts to be signed by those selling or
giving land approved by the board of di-
rectors of the road.
The railroad committee is also expert
encing difficulty in communicating with
nonresident Iroperty-owners, many OF
whom are in the East.
While the committeeman will not state
exactly what is being done, one of them
said that work is progressing rapidly, and
that, now that the committee is meeting
every day, he thought within ten days all
the contracts will have been signed, when
the committee will be able to offer the di-
rectors of the road the choice of routes.
The matter of deciding upon route will
then be discussed by the directors and the
members of the committee, Three depot
sites are under consideration. The COM
mittemen express them selves as confident
that all the money needed will be ready
when the commi ttee is prepared to use it..

PLANS OF CONSP|RATORS,
Rumors at Santa Barbara That
EZeta Is to Utilize an
Adjacent Island.
Credence Given to the Report,
Owing to Recent Visits Of
SalVadoranS.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July H.
The lately published statement that Anto-
Mo Ezeta, the banished Vice-President OF
Salvador, was preparing to ship ammuni-
ton and arms from this country by way of
one of the Santa Barbara channel islands,
with the purpose of starting another revo-
luton and reinstating himself, gains some
credence here on account of recent mystic
rious doings and strange rumors that a
Central American conspiracy was in pro-
cess of incubation here, as we'll as signif-
can't visits of prominent natives of those
countries to wealthy Guatemalans resi-
dent here.
Speculation is rife as to which of the
Santa Barbara islands would be selected by
the revolutionists as the base of operations.
Santa Rosa, owned by the More estate, and
Santa Cruz, the property of Justinian
Cairo of San Francisco, although possess
ing several admirable harbors, are regarded
as out of the question on account of the
rigid supervision exercised by the resident
superintendents and the frequent travel
back and forth from the mainland. Ana
capa has no harbor and no water and
should conspirators attempt the landing OF
arms there they would be penned in like
rats in trap in case of trouble. San Nico-
lai has an excellent harbor, but is barren
and uninhabited, and lying so well to the
southwark and at such distance from
the mainland is regarded as excellent
ground for conspirators.
But San Miguel would be by far the best
choice. At the present time it is virtually
uninhabited, being occupied only by two
grown people and child. 1t has thou
sands of fertile acres, great fiocks of sheep
and herds of cattle, and while its chief en-.
trance, Cuyler's Harbor. is open to OBJ
servation by all passing vessels. it has two
others. excellent at this time of year
| China Harbor and West End-off either OF
which deep-sea vessels could safely lie
while craft of considerable draught could
make landing. Both these harbors are
far out of the usual course of vessels, while
a vessel might lie there for weeks without
the knowledge of residents of the island
the ranch-house lying many miles distant
under the lee of high table-land.

bounded faith in the practical good that
the Woman's Congress would yet accom-
plish.
The paper of Mrs. Lillian Plunkett Fer
guson, corresponding secretary of the asso-
citation, was one of the features of the oc-
casion and dealt with "a Press Clubs Pos.
sibilities" in an extremely bright and in
teresting manner. Mrs. Ferguson spoke
first of the motives that bring about the
formation of press club and later of the
many benefits accruing from such an asso
citation. Among these she classed the
thorough requirement of parliamentary
knowledge, the close study of the laws gov
erning journalism and the methods, the
delights of congenial companionship and
the many advantages which come through
club-fellowship. In speaking of the woman

walks of life.
DIR. A c. Hirst opened the afternoon
programme by cordial greeting to the P.
C. w. P. A., after which Mrs. Charlotte
Perkins Stetson spoke on Local Litera-
ture," claiming that neither birth nor resi-
dence of author, nor local color in subject,
constituted a legitimate local literature, but
that if there was such thing it must rest
on distinctive style and spirit as with the
Lake school of poets. California literature
should partake of the characteristics of tae
country. She appealed to the reading
public to demand better literature and so
make it.
A very interesting paper, "a Day in
Norway" was read by Mrs Emmeline M.
North, lady we'll known in Chautauquan
and educational circles. Mrs. North set
forth in clear descriptive manner the
manners, customs and general characterize
les of the Norwegians, giving comprehen-
sive summary of their history as a people
and closing with graphic description of
Norway's historical church, with which
wonderful edifce so many incidents and
traditions are associated.
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper's popularity was
evidenced by the warm greeting she re-
ceived as she came forward to read paper
upon "Reminiscences of the Woman s

much earnestness the ambitions that
brought the congress into being and the
great benefit its sessions had been to the
thousands of women attending them. She
paid glowing tributes to Miss Anthony

BOTH FATALLY INJURED.
Supposed Suicide Of a Proml-

Sacramento.
AMID FLAMES AND BULLETS
Exciting Times During a Fire In an
Arizona ToWn-Rioters
in jail.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, July ia
probable double tragedy occurred to-day
three miles this side of San Andreas.
Peter Moro of that place, young man,
and Chris Held of Stockton, about 90 years
of age, met on the road and began to quar-
rel about the price for which they were
selling fish, of which both are peddlers.
But few words passed between them
when they drew their pistols and began to
fire. Four bullets took effect in Held s
body, while Moro was shot three times.
The latter was taken to his home at San
Andreas, while Held was taken into sa-
loon near where the shooting occurred.
Both men are probably fatally wounded,
although Moro has the better chance of re-
covery. Each is well known in Stockton
and along the route between here and
there. Business rivalry engendered the i'll
feeling between them, which has existed
for some time.

ArrEMPr TO LOOT WILLIAMS.
Fire aud Flying Bullets Makes Things
LireIu in an arizona Toqc1t.

LIrety IN an ArIzonG I01cn,
WILLIAMS, ARIz., July 1.-THE
business portion of this town was burned
this morning and during the progress of
the flames bullets were flying. A portion
of the population was rioting and thugs
and gamblers endeavored to rob the city.
The fire started at 6 A. M, caused by the
explosion of a gasoline stove in tailor
shop. In few minutes two business blocks
were in flames. The water pressure failed.
The employees of the Saginaw Lumber
Company were permitted to turn out and
aid in extinguishing the fire. Many houses
owned by Chinese and Mexicans, mere
shacks, were destroyed and many narrow
escapes are reported.
In the midst of the excitement caused
by the fire one of the Mexicans began
shooting, under the impression that he
was being robbed and the excitement grew
from this incident. The population took
sides and the Sheriff endeavored to quell
the trouble. Then it was discovered that
the bad men of the place had endeavored
to loot the city and prompt measures were
taken to place the leaders of the riot in
Jail. After some time quiet was restored.
The loss will not exceed $4,000. The
main losses are: c. E. Boyce, $4,000; Max
Salzman, $1,000; J. P. Smith, $1,000.

EVIDENTLY A MURDER,
Attempt Made to Destroy the
Body by Means of
Fire.
TWO SUSPECTS UNDER ARREST.
They Had Had Frequent Trouble
With Deceased for Trespasslng
on His Land.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 11.-Ransom
Stokes, wellto-do rancher, who lived on
Fine ranch, Sunnydale, this county, was
shot about two weeks ago. Then his body
was dragged to a secluded spot short dis
lance from his home and covered with
brush and logs. A lot of dry grass was
placed close to the debris and match APP
piled. The debris took fire and was de-
stroyed. The fire died out, however, and
left the body half charred. The intention
of the murderers was evidently to destroy
the body also.
The remains were discovered late yester-
day. To-day two men known as the Kin
lin brothers were arrested at Sunnydale
and charged with the murder OF Stokes.
One is aged 20 and the other ~. They are
known to recently have had trouble with
the murdered man because he had re-
peatedly driven them from his ranch.
In their cabin were found two shotguns,
and the barrel of one showed recent use, but
the prisoners insisted that neither had
been used for months. A quantity of
buckshot similar to that found in Stokes
body was also found in the cabin.
1t is believed that Stokes was murdered
on the Friday preceding the Fourth OF
July, as he had not been seen by the neigh
bors since that day, and his absence from
the postoffice, which he visited regularly,
caused the search to be made which re-
suited in the finding of his charred re-
mains.
Stokes was single man, about so years
of age, and had no relatives in this State as
far as known

pointed out some of the difficulties that
beset the pathway of the journalistic and
literary aspirant
Mrs. E. o. Smith of San Jose read an
admirable paper on sex Lines in Litera-
ture," showing that the literature of the
world heretofore had been mainly mascu-
line, the absence of woman in literature
being due to her suhservient position in all
departments of life. With the general adj
vance of woman she has begun to take her
place in literature as in other arts.
A paper of an ethical nature on "a
Neglected Power" was ably presented by
Miss Geraldine Meyrick of Santa Cruz.
She specified the power referred to as the
influence of love, dealing with that emo
ton in its broadcast sense and showing the

ANAHEIM,s BEET PRODUCT.
1t Is Expected That Eighteen Thousand
Tons Viii Be Shipped.

ORANGE, CAL, July 1.-THE Asso-
ciated Sugar Beet Growers have just com
pleted gangway at the siding of the
Southern Pacific Railroad at Anaheim, to
facilitate the loading of beets The gang
way is fitted with two of Carrolls platform
dumps. This dump is simple, ingenious
and effective continuance for the purpose,
and reflects great credit upon the inventor
Tim Carroll of Anaheim. With this con-
trivance beets can, with the labor of three
men, be loaded on the cars at the rate of a
ton a minute. At Chino about twenty
men are employed at the work, and the
cost to growers for unloading is II cents
per ton.
It is expected that $4,000 tons of beets
will be shipped from Anaheim to Chino.
and that they will be moved at the rate of
about 400 tons per day.

Fire In Chinatown.

SANTA BARBARA. CAL, July IA
fire occurred in the rear part of a China
town building at 6 P. NJ. to-day, in a room
occupied as com bined kitchen and opium
smoking apartment and sIeeping-room. A
Chinese woman with a two-day- old baby
was rescued with difficulty. A chest full
of treasure was badly scorched, but was
carried to place of safety. For time it
looked as though the whole of Chinatown
would go, but the flames were quickly sup
pressed. The damages are nominal.
