A FRESNO SCANDAL.
Actions of a Prominent Attorney to be
Investigated by the Grand jury.

FRESNO, Dec. "a sensation was
created here this afternoon when the
Expositor' announced that certain
actions of J. A. Collins a prominent at
torney and an ex-Congregational min
ister were to be investigated by the
Federal Grand Jury now in session at
Los Angeles.
Some months ago Collins Informed
Postoffice Inspector Flint that he had
in his possession certain vulgar letters
which had been sent from Fresno to
Bakersfield through the medium of the
United States mails He named as the
writer OF the missives J. H. Terry, a
pioneer of this valley.
Flint instructed Collins to have Terry
arrested, but as several weeks elapsed
without result he ordered Deputy
United States Marshal Afford of Fres-
no to take action
Terry was arrested, and when his
preliminary examination was held the
letter necessary to accomplish Terry's
conviction was missing. Collins swore
it had been stolen from his office, and
he did not know where it was
During the examination it was shown
that a woman named Annie Haughton
had, under instructions from Collins,
agreed to surrender damaging letters
to Terry for valuable consideration.
The case against Terry was dismissed
He at once alleged that Collins and
the woman had attempted to blackmlil
him, and that when the case was,
against their will, forced into the courts
they destroyed the letter thinking the
matter would be dropped and not fully
investigated.
The matter of the disappearance of
the letter was called to the attention of

by United States Commissioner Dante

Merchants Preparing to Move Back to
Their Old Stands.
Reports Received From
the Farming Country-f1undreds
of People Are Homeless, and All
Their Personal Effects Swept
Away by the FlOods-StOrm Still
Raging in North Dakota.

CHIPPEWA FALLS CWis.), Dec. g.
At midnight Mayor Lindley believes the
town is out of danger. The water has
been falling slowly but steadily since
4 O'Clock this afternoon, and the only
danger now is from possible breakageS
of dams above. The Little Falls dam is
reported tonight in a very safe condi-
ton. River experts and loggers have
made thorough investigation of the
gorge and claim the water will have
fallen sufficiently by noon tomorrow to
permit merchants to move back into
their places of business.
The Government engineer who is here
examining the situation, believes the
gorge will not go out suddenly, but is not
prepared to say whether or not dyna
mite can bulge it. 1t is believed he will
not authorize such an attempt to be
made.
The hustle of excitement of yesterday
was followed by day of comparative
inactivity. The only business transacted
was such as the flood made necessary.
The freight and passenger depots of the
Wisconsin Central and Milwaukee roads
The Milwaukee freight depot stands at
an angle of 45 degrees, and the fact
that it is tied to the railroad tracks
with strong cables alone prevents it
from falling into the river. The water
eddied around it all day, slowly eating
its foundation.
Mayor Lindley has received numerous
kilograms proffering assistance in case
aid is required, but relied that none was
needed and that the city was in good
condition yet so far as danger to life is
concerned
A heavy snow storm has set in, and
more ice is forming. Reports from the
farming country are distressing. Hun
dreds are homeless and all personal ef
fects were swept away by the relentless
waters. The total damage done to the
city to date is estimated to be 100000.
