SEARCH FOR A BROTHER.
CORTLAND Fruit Men Looking for
Walter E. Cannon.
While Negotiating Purchases for Or.
chardS He Dropped Out of Sight.
No CIeWS Found.

The brothers of Walter E. Cannon, a
fruit-grower of CORTLAND, Sacramento
County, are searching for some clew to his
whereabouts. They have hunted through
San Francisco in vain.
In February, 1898, Cannon was in this
city for the purpose of buying land for
orchards. He then purchased sixteen
acres in the Wolfskill tract near Winters,
Yolo County, for $125 an acre. The deed
was signed and recorded in the City Hall
on March % of that year.
About the same time he negotiated the
purchase of the Wecker fruit ranch from
It's owner. This land is situated near Vaca-
vile, Solano County. Cannon gave $1,000
TO its owner as a deposit, in guarantee of
good faith in the transaction.
Another purchase was made near Win
tiers by Cannon, when he bought por-
ton of Waughtel's land. In this matter
he deposited $500 with an agent in the town
of Winters. Besides, he made four or five
purchases in this city of orchards in the
same neighborhood and deposited from
$500 to $1,000 on each. All these transac-
lions were under way at the same time
the spring of 1898.
Zone month after that Cannon disap-
peared and he has never been heard of
since.
ne WAS ldSb oeeu ny people WHO hIleW
him in the Office of Easton, Eldridge & Co.,
on Market street.
That Cannon intended to live near
Winters seems beyond question or doubt.
He bought fruit trees from Alexander &
Harmon, the nurserymen at Briggs, early
in 1898 and planted trees out at considera-
bic expense.
Deeds to some of the property are still
held by former owners of the land as Gam
mon disappeared in this city before claim
ing them.
Various theories are advanced regarding
the strange manner in which Cannon
was lost to view. He had money at the
time, and cons equently one theory is he
was robbed and either killed or taken
away TO sea. Cannon was regarded as an
enthusiastic business man who did not
seem to consider his dealings with par
ticular shrewdness. He was of medium
height, stoutly built and wore black
pointed beard on his round, full face. At
the time of his disappearance he was
dressed in a dark tweed sack suit.

connected with a religious society for the
care of young women.
During the night Louisa went through
Mary's clothing and disappeared with $203,
all the money the young girl had. Mary
reported her loss at police headquarters,
and Detectives Anthony, Dillon and Crock
EFT were detailed on the case.
They traced Louisa to $50 Fourth street,
but she had only remained there one night.
Yesterday, however, they found her in St.
Mary's Hospital. She had gone there pre-
tending she was sick and paid $50 for a
weeks board and attendance. When
searched at the City Prison $175 was found
in her pocket, so that Mary will get back
her money. with the exception of SIS.

William Young Sues the Southern Paci-
fic for Damages.
William H. Young has filed a suit
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company to recover $4,000 damages, sus-
tanned in August last. Young boarded one
of the Oakland local trains at Broadway,
but finding the cars overcrowded he asked
the conductor for a stopover check by
which he might get off and wait for an
other train without having to purchase an
other ticket This was refused him, and
he was compelled to ride upon the plat
form of one of the cars. While the train
was running between the Market-street
and Adeline-street stations, the gate,
which had been closed and locked, gave
way and he was thrown to the ground
while the train was going at its full speed.
He was insensible for several hours after
the fall his teeth were broken and he was
otherwise badly bruised. For this he asks
damages.

The Market-street Company was operat-

for persons who find it necessary to go

traffic the trip consumed about an hour.

We sec it stated that Mr..
Leighton, Of S.. Louis, at a re
cent dinner Of the Boston Mer-
chants Association, made a
strong plea for state banks Of is
sue.
He contented that banks of
this character are needed espe-
cially in the agricultural states,
and they would be of great ben
eft to the South and West While
they would work injury to no
part Of the country.
Mr. Leighton said: The ma
tional banking system under
it's present limitations as to mini
mum capital adapts itself ex-
clusively to the relatively larger
commerce towns Of 5000 popula-
ton, but does not meet the re
quirements Of the smaller com
merce and the smaller cities and
towns"
In spite Of the unjust limita-
tons on State banks they have
been Of incalculable advantages tC
the South. Georgia has ffty-one
such banks and they are scat
tered pretty thickly through the
South.
Referring to Nh. Leighton's
explanation of the usefulness OF
State banks, the Boston Gtobc
says:
1T is to meet these special re.
quirements that State banks have
been so largely established IN the
South and West. Many of these,
indeed. have a small capital as
compared with that of the great
national banks of the East. OF
the 422 state banks in Missouri,
for instance, 142 have a capita
of only SO, 900 each, but that is
amply sufficient for the condi
tions of trade and the small com.
merce which r served.

Aid to Confederate Veterans.

To Georgia belongs the immor-
tai honor of leading the Of
the Southern States in provisions
for the relief of the MANNED and
destitute veterans of the Con
federacy.
Noble soldiers never went to
battle than those who dared,
suffered and died under the
Southern Cross.
To the memory Of the dead we
have built beautiful monuments
and have set apart d day on
which their graves T covered
with flowers.
We can never discharge the
obligation we lowe to these heroes
who sleep in honored graves IN
der our skies, but we have a debt
to the living also. The men
among US who wore the grey and
who are now helpless and Deepen
dent, have a claim on the graft
tude of our people which will
never be ignored until the South
sinks so low that she will de-
serve the worst calumny that
has ever been hurled against
her.
Every true heart in Georgia
loves them better because she's
been mindful of these heroes who
still linger in the walks Of men.
Ever since the State adopted
the policy OF aiding them that
policy has been growing more
| liberal. and we say let it go on.
The example Of Georgia has
been contagious.
1t has stirred other States of
the South to Il livelier sense of
their duty to needy and deserv-
ling Confederate vetrans and to
better care of them.
There is a demand now in Vir-
ginia for more liberal Legislation
in this direction and it will be
answered in the right way. The
other Southern States are be-
coming more and more consid-
crate of the poor old veterans
who have only the State govern
ments to look TO in their distress
and who will not be permitted to
suffer SO long as manhood re-
mains in the land for which they
fought and suffered.-1tiantd
