CARSON MINT SCANDAL,
A Nevada Paper Accuses Gov
ernment Detectives of
lnsincerity.
Suspect Heney Said to Be Living
Openly at Prominent Hotel
In Leadville.

CARSON, New, June Mrs. Heney,
the wife of James Heney, the Carson mint
suspect, to-day filed with the commissioner
of the United States court proposition
that Heney would voluntarily come to
Carson if his bail would be fixed at $4,000.
The dispatch from Arizona stating that
James Heney had been arrested was
untrue. Heney has not been in Arizona at
all, but stopped openly at the Hotel Ven-
dome in Leadville, Colo, and openly sent
and received messages to and from here.
The dispatches were not in cipher and
were always plainly addressed to or signed
by James 81. Heney, Hotel Vendome,
Leadville. Colo. During all this time de-
tectives were reported as being hot on
Heney's trail, yet he was openly stopping
at the largest hotel in Leadville.
The Tribune, commenting on the action
OF the Government officials in the mint
matter, this evening SAID few people be-
lieved that the Government detectives and
representatives really wanted Heney at all.

OPPOSED TO PEMBERT0N.
Fight Made Against His Ap-
pointment to the Direc-
torate.
SUPERVISORS DEFER ACTION.
Should He Be Chosen Work on the
Big Canals Would Soon Be
Under Way.

FRESNO, CAL, June THE contest
that is going on in the Sunset irrigation
district between those who are in favor of
beginning work on the great canals and
those who are opposed to it has resulted in
new struggle before the Board of Super
visors.
Some weeks ago Cole Campbell, director
for the fifth division of the district. was
ousted by the County Supervisors because
he was not a resident of the division for
which he had been elected. This left the
other remaining members of the board of
directors evenly divided as to pushing the
work of construction.
contract for building the canals has
been let to P. Y. Baker and T. L. Reed for
81, ,OOO, and the money is now lying in a
San Francisco bank. In order that the
board of directors may vote to authorize
the work to begin, the contractors must
secure the appointment of a fifth director
who is favorable to the construction of the
canal. Their candidate is r. w. Pember-
ton, and the Supervisors were to-day asked
to appoint him to the vacant place. Those
who are fighting for the disorganization of
the district are opposing Pemberton.
The Sunset district is the largest in the
State, and many of those owning land in it
assert that everything has not been carried
on as IL should be, especially In letting the
S1,5OO,OOO contract to Baker & Reed. The
Supervisors deferred action until all inter-
ested IN the appointment should be heard
and warm fight is expected.

WILD MAN OF SONOMA,
Ben Buckley, the Crazy Her.
NIT, Placed in the Ukiah
Asylum.
For Twenty Years He Has Made
His Home I'm Holes Burrowed
Into the Earth.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June BEN
Buckley, the famous Sonoma County
wild man." is now in Ukiah Insane Asy-
lum. For the past twenty years Buckley
has been living in an open pen on the Cum
ningham ranch in Blucher Valley. He
refused to leave the place, even in the
worst Of the rainy season. He was con-
tent to lie in hole in the ground during
the hardest transforms. When the water
got too deep to suit him he would bale it
out with his old hat. He lived mostly on
canned goods, seldom cooking anything.
Buckley imagined himself President of
the United States, and said he had held
the Office since the time of Washington.
He has been considered harmless, and
spent most of the time chopping wood for
neighbors.
The cause of his hallucination was a
blow received on the head twenty years
ago. While on the road home one night
he was assaulted by robbers and badly
beaten. He then declared he would never
again sleep in house, and kept his prom
Use until arrested few days ago for in
sanity. He was examined before Judge
Crawford here, found to be insane, and
ordered committed to the asylum.

A BATTLE OF BALLOTS.
Bitter Fight at Benicia Over
the School Trustee
Election.
PAsADENA's CUTTING AFFRAY.
A Lodi Woman HorseWhips Man
Said to Have Assailed Her
Character.

STOCKTON, CAL, June 7.-Ex-Mayor T.
Pond of San Francisco, John W. Coleman,
John Treadwell and Engineer Newhouse
of the proposed railroad to Corral Hollow
spent the day in Stockton, driving over the
city to ascertain just what route would be
the best by which to enter Stockton. They
decided to come to this city if they could
get the rights of way and terminal faclli-
ties on Stockton Channel. This will not
be easy to obtain, as the land on this por-
ton OF the water front is very valuable
and the people of this city have done all
they can in raising the cash and stock sub
scriptions for the Valley road.
The proposed route will be from Corral
Hollow to point near Banta, where it will
cross the tracks of the Southern Pacific
Company and will then run north to the
San Joaquin River, crossing at Johnsons
Ferry. From this point the road will run
due north to the southern limits of Stock
ton.
The representatives of the proposed road
met the members of the Commercial AS
sociation and the leading business men OF
the city tonight, and laid their plans be-
fore them. Mr.. Pond made brief address,
in which he stated that the representatives
of the coal mines wanted the road to come
to Stockton if the people here desired to
have it, but that the cost of building to
Stockton would be somewhat greater than
that originally proposed by way of Beth
any. The road will be eight miles longer
if it is built to this city, and draw bridge
will have to be constructed where it crosses
the San Joaquin River.
]. W. Coleman showed the wonderful re-
sources of the mines and the quality of the
coal. He predicted a great future for
Stockton's manufacturing interests if it
secured the Corral Hollow coal at the low
rates at which it could be laid down here.
A committee. consisting of H ]. Cor
coran, R. c. Sargent, James Marsh, Will
liam Inglis and c. NJ. Weber, was ap-
pointed to confer with the representatives
OF the coal mines, to decide which of the
two proposed routes for entering the city
the people of Stockton would consider.
The railway people promise to commence
work on the road at the Corral Hollow end
within ten days if their propositions are
accepted.
Ex-senator Boggs owns large tract of
waterfront property within the city s
limits and he will give the railroad without
cost the right of way over his land and
what land may be needed for coal
bunkers. The Boggs proposition gives
water front on Mormon Channel within
200 yards of the Valley railroad ware
house site, but the coal mine people want
bunker ground on Stockton Channel near
the Valley road terminus. The conference
committee will try to settle the differences.

PASADENA, CAL, June John Nc
Guire, the old man who so horribly cut II
W. Hill from the top of his head to the
chin few days ago while Hill was in Jail
for supposed insanity, though in reality
stupifed by paregoric, was to-day ar
raigned for the offense before Justice Ros-
sitor and pleaded not guilty. In default
of $1,000 bail he was held for trial in the
Superior Court, however, and was taken to
Jail Immediately by an officer.
Mcclure did not make any attempt to
justify himself in court, though he denies
that he was the aggressor in the affray.
He claims that when he was in the Jail
Hill got hold OF him and pulled his head
against the bars and also bit his fingers,
and when he let him out of his cell to give
him drink of water attacked him. He
used a knife in self-defense.
Hill is lying at the receiving hospital and

IDAHO BANDITS FO|LED.
Robbery of a Rancher's Wife
Prevented by a Wild Dash
of Her Horses.
Repeated Attempts OF CoWardly
ASsaSsins to Take the Life
Of Mrs. Sake.

BOISE. IDAHO, June 7.-Three masked
highwaymen made bold attempt to hold
up Mrs. Sake, wife of well-to-do farmer
living four miles south of this city. Mrs.
Sake was driving toward her home when
the highwaymen emerged from the brush
and commanded her to halt. Her team
became frightened and before she could
obey the order the horses dashed away at
fearful rate. The highwaymen fired sew
eral shots after the team without effect.
Mrs. Saake's life was threatened several
weeks ago, and a few days ago an attempt
was made by unknown parties to chloro-
form her. They entered the house at
night. Electric bells are arranged in the
house in such manner that any one en-
tering the gates causes an alarm to be
given in the house, but the miscreants
evaded the trap.
1t is believed the trouble is caused by
some one who is endeavoring to drive the
family off land so they can secure posses
