MRS. SCHUTZ Is SANE.

Dismissed by Judge Hebbard, and Her
Accusing Husband Is Arrested.
Albert Schultz, ex-superintendent OF the
Salem Cemetery San Mateo County, who
had his wife arrested on Tuesday on the
charge of insanity, got himself into
trouble yesterday morning.
He put in an appearance at the Recely-
ing Hospital where his wife was detained,
and inquired at what hour she would be
taken before the Insanity Commissioners.
He hung around the courtyard and con-
fided to two or three people who conversed
with him that he meant to kill his wife.
E. NJ. Morgan, attorney for Mrs. Schultz
IN her divorce suit was informed Of
SchutZs murderous intentions and war
rant was sworn out in Judge Lows court
for his arrest on the charge of threats to
kill. The warrant was placed in the hands
of Detective Graham and he placed
Schultz under arrest. When searched at
the City Prison the only weapon found
upon him was a pocketknife.
When Mrs. Schultz was taken before
Judge Hebbard Schultz was escorted to the
courtroom by Detective Graham. Schultz
testified that he believed his wife was of
unsound mind because he had offered her
some money and she had refused to take
it. He blamed Clara Lenz, his wife's SIS
ter. for being the' cause Of all his matri-
monial troubles.
Mrs. Schultz told the court of her hus-
bands cruelty and the Judge promptly
dismissed her, remarking that ii she were
crazy the sanity of every person in court
might be questioned.

THAT RAwHIDE STRIKE.
Captain Nevills Gives Some Intere stin q

Captain Nevills Gives Some Intere sting
Particulars About the BOnanza.
Captain w. A. Nevills, one of the prin-
cipal owners of the vic ely known Raw
hide quartz mine not far from Sonora, in
Tuolumne County. has arrived here and is
at the Palace. He Is accompanied bv
Mrs. Nevils.
For several days stories have been in
circulation of a large strike in the Raw
hide. The first impressions as conveyed
by the report was that a veritable cave of
gold had been found ana that the addi-
tional wealth was something enormous.
The report it now appears did not convey
an adequate idea of the discovery. 1t is
stated that it is not of the ''jewelry-box"
order. 1t is plain good quartz that assays
about $40 ton higher than at the 4OO-foot
level.
The developme ent was made,on the 800
foot level and Mr.. Neyills says that the
manner in which the ledge is solidifving
on the aforesaid level, where it was cut
and beyond, is very gratifying. From the
400 level down to that point the ledge was
soft and broken to a large extent. Now
solid, and at the same time the ore is
richer.
The shaft is being extended further, and
is low nearly to the 1000 level point.
Twelve men are at work. The electric
motors are running in part and very soon
there will b. a full head of power avail
able. Thirty stamps have been running
for month past. Mr.. Nevills has lust

The Largest Transaction Made in
Interior Land for Twenty
Years.

Tuesday evening Wendell Easton of the
firm of Easton, Eldridge & Co. returned
from Southern California, where he sue
ceeGed in closing land deal that is one of
the largest ever made in this State. The
property IN question is the famous Chino
ranch, located in San Bernardino County,
about fifty miles east of Los Angeles. Ths
place Is best known because of the location
there OF the largest beet sugar factory in
the world, the lands of the Chino Valley
being especially adapted to the culture of
sugar beets. The purchasers of the ranch
are Englishmen. and the consideration is
81 100000. A contract of sale was filed in
San Bernardino County Tuesday, and it
includes the sale of the Chino ranch of
10000 acres, between 5000 ana 1000 head of
cattle, the racing stables of Richard Gird,
the owner of the ranch; also the Chino
dairy. the home place, the bank building
in the town of Chino, the Chino Valley
Railroad and the extensive water system
OF the Chino Valley. The terms of sale are
$3.50, 600 cash down, $3.50 COO within four
months and the balance within year.
The gentlemen who have had charge of
the matter on behalf of the English syn
dicate left for London last night. The
purchasers intend to extend the beet
sugar growing industry rapidly, and will
endeavor to get good portion of the
place we'll under cultivation as soon as
possible. An Office will be opened in Lon
don, and at that point negotiations will be
conducted with families to colonize the
lands. 1t is expected that fully 200 fami-
lies will be brought over and settled this
year, and that at least 500 families in all
will be settled on the land before it is all
disposed Of
The history of the transaction is long
and interesting one and its successful
termination reflects great credit on Easton,
Eldridge & Co. Wendell Easton, who
has, aided by his brother, George Easton,
had entire charge of the matter, has been
working on the deal for more than two
years. AS in all transactions of such
magnitude many obstacles were en-
countered, but by persistent effort on Mr..
Easton's part these were all gradually
overcome and success crowned his efforts.
The effect of this sale on land values in
this State cannot help but be beneficial
in the extreme, for it serves to demon
strate that desirable farming lands in this
State can be disposed of 10 advantage to
foreign capitalists. This frm has negotia-

Annie Ervine's Stepfather Bound Over
to Keep the Pence

Annie Ervine's stepfather Bound Over
to Keep the Peace.
w. Z. Ervine appeared in Judge Lows
court yesterday afternoon to answer a
charge OF assault with deadly weapon.
The complaining witness was his wife,
who owns bakery at Twenty fourth
street.
She testified that on Tuesday night her
daughter Annie by a former husband was
standing at the door talking to her sweet
heart when Ervine ordered her into the
house. She declined to go and Ervine
brought hammer and nails TO nail mn the
door SO that she could not get in. Annie's
sweetheart interfered and Ervine threw
the hammer at him. Mrs. Eryine was
afraid and ran away, but as she would not
swear that Ervine threw the hammer at
her the case was dismissed.
There was another charge against Ervine
of threats to kill preferred by his step
daughter Annie. After the Judge heard
her testimony he ordered Ervine into Gus
tody till he could procure bonds to keep
the peace.

home or Hill street they offered their SER
vices and contributions of money to the
same end. They asked no change of name
or management and their offer was CRATE
fully accepted.
The Hill-street home is too small for the
extensive work contemplated. Therefore
it has been decided to rent the four-story
building on Natoma street, between New
Montgomery and Third, owned by Louis
Metzger.
The storeroom on the lower floor will
be reserved. but the three upper floors will
be partitioned and made ready for occu-
pancy soon. Mr.. Bugbee, the architect,
was calculating the cost of such improve
ments yesterday. The building was
erected about six years ago for manufac-
turing purposes, but has never been used
except for storerooms.
A general invitation has been extended
to officers and friends of the home to
attend the conference TO be held to-day
and to partake of the luncheon the girls OF
the institution have prepared. The charge
for luncheon will be nominal and the pro-
ceeds will 20 toward furnishing the new

GEORGE MARTINS CASE.
Arguments on the Rights Of Railroad
Officials to Demand Sig
natures.


Four witnesses were examined in the
suit Of George N. Martin against the South
ern Pacific Company yesterday, among
them being Martin himself, who was re-
called by his own counsel. His examina-
tion led to some argument.
The claim is made by the defense that
when Martin signed his name at the con.
ductors demand he purposely signed it in
a manner on the ticket that the conductor
could not but take the ticket up. This was
done, the defense claims, to form ground
for action against the railroad.
Plaintiff s counsel proposed to show that
the nervous affection from which Martin
suffered at the time caused the change in
his handwriting, but the evidence was oh
jected to and some time was consumed in
arguing the point. Mr.. Delmas withdrew
his line of questions for the time. how
ever, and so the matter rested until this
morning In the course of his argument
Mr.. Delmas contended that the company
had no right to place a passenger ut the
mercy of any little petty official who could
demand a signature whenever he saw tit.
Barnes claimed in answer that that was
the only means of Identification which was
practicable.
The other witnesses examined testified as
to Martins S good character and to the prog-
ress of the nervous ailment from which
he is suffering.

TO EXTEND RESCUE WORK
California Girls Training Home

Forty Benevolent Persons Contribute

The work of the California Girls Train

date, and arrangements will be made at an
all-day meeting to be held at 26 Hill street
to-day for the transfer of the home to LAT

The decision to remove the Institution to
the proposed location is the result of an
offer from forty benevolently inclined per-
sons of both sexes and all ages to unite
their efforts for the reclamation of young
women with those of the directors of the
Training Home. No organization had as

CHANGES IN THE SERVICE
Lieutenant Buhner of the Hartley
Transferred to New
Orleans.
Belief That Captain Healy and Lieuten.
ant Daniels Will Be Removed
From the Coast.

Lieutenant Buhner of the United States
revenue launch Hartley has been ordered
to report for duty at New Orleans. He
was formerly executive officer of the Bear,
but became involved in the quarrel be-
tween Captain Healy and Lieutenant Dan
iels. He took Healy's end of the dispute,
and was himself under fire for time.
The charges against him, however, were
not sustained and he did not suffer the
indignity OF suspension as did his old
commander. But his connection with the
scandal was so pronounced that for the
benefit OF the service his removal to
another locality was deemed advisable by
Secretary Herbert.
Lieutenant Butts will succeed Buhner in
the service of the Pacific. He comes from
New Orleans and is a stranger to this
coast.
1t is understood that there will be other
changes in the service at an early date,
as the Secretary of the Navy seems deter
mined to restore at least a degree of har-
mony among the officers of the different
vessels on the coast. The quarrels and
scandals that have been cropping out
among the officers and men OF late have
been injurious to the service.
There has been no authentic information
from Washington as to the findings of the
court-martial in the Healy investigation.
1t is not believed that the captain has been
dismissed from the service. There is
belief. however that he will be removed to
the Atlantic Coast, as his usefulness on the
Pacific is thought to have come to an end.
