Approved by the Csurt-A Beautiful
Suburban Home Contemplated.

Suburban Home Contemplated.
The offer made by Mr.. A. L. Barber for
the purchase of the property at the corner
of Tenleytown and Woodley roads, known
as Pretty Prospect, was approved by the
court yesterday. AS one of the owners of
the property is an infant in law it was
necessary before sale could be effected
that the approval of the court should be
obtained. This has been done, and the title
to the property will now pass to Mr.. Bar
Der AS has been stated in The Star, Mr.
John +. Mclean desired to purchase this
property, but when he found that Mr. Bar
Der wished it he decided not to interfere in
the transaction, and so withdrew his offer.
The property comprises some twenty-five
acres, and the price paid was S125,ND, which
is at the rate of 5000 per acre. 1t occu-
pies a commanding position, and is looked
upon as one Of the choicest building sites
in the vicinity of the city. This in part ac-
counts for the fact that men of such wealth
as Mr.. Barber and Mr. Mclean desired the
property. 1t will be gratifying to the many
friends Of Mr. Barber to learn that this
purchase means the esta Adjustment in this
city again Of his permanent home. AS is
well known, he has a fine place, Belmont
at the corner of f4th street extended and
Clifton street, where Mrs. Barber has been
spending some time during the past win
ter Mr. Barber has palatial residence on
9th avenue, in New York city for which he
paid two or three years ago nearly a mil
lion Of dollars He is also the owner of a
fine country place at Dobbs' Ferry, form
eriy owned by Cyrus Field, jr. 1t is his in
tention to begin as soon possible the
erection of a residence on the property re-
Gently acquired by him, and he will expend
somewhere in the ne!ghborhood of 100000
in this Improvement. In talking over his
plans with Col. Robert I. Fleming, who
represented Mr.. Barber in the purchase Of
the place, and whose country home, form
erly the residence of President Cleveland,
&c IN hfr
Mr.. Barber said he proposed to use the
stone from his quarry near Cabin John
bridge. This was the building material
that he employed in constructing his house
Belmont, and. as is well Known, is of light
shade. which can be used in working out
an effective architectural! design When
the house is completed Mr.. Barber and
family will make their home there, during
the winter months at least.
The property known as Pretty Prospect
was owned by the daughters of Mr. Thomas
J. Chew. the grandchildren of Commodore
Delaney, who purchased the property in

SANTA hosA cAPrURE.
Thought to Be Modesto Crook TAINTED
for Embexztemenf.

for EmbexzIement.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Nov. ia young
man going by the name of Harry Patter-
son was arrested here this afternoon for
the crime of EN- mbezzlement alleged to have
been committed in Modesto. The accused
man has only been in this city about ten
days. but has succeeded in gaining the
confidence of the mem bers of the Chris
tian church, OF which he claimed to be a
member. He also sang in the choir and
affected great interest IN temperance
work. These manifestations of piety were
the cause OF his arrest, as the description
received from Modesto pointed out with
great minuteness how the swindler had
gained the confidence of the people there
and what he would probably DO at his
next stopping place. The personal de-
scription OF the Modesto crook fits the
man arrested here TO a dot and the officers
are confident of having captured the right
man. He IS about 25 years of age, speaks
with an English accent and is a smooth
and plausible talker. A telegram received
tonight from the Modesto officers says TO
hold the suspect by all means as he is un.
doubtedly the right man and if so dam
gerous confidence operator.

Editor Sam Daris Declines to Prosecute
HIS dssdiIdnt.
CARSON, New, Nov. 19.-The assault
by the United States District Attorney
yesterday on the editor of the Appeal
grew out of charge made by the Appeal
that the attorney feared to proceed with
the prosecution OF the Coffin contempt
case, and also charged him with neglect
OF duty and general legal incom petence.
In an editorial this morning the Appeal
reiterates the charges, but the editor de-
ciines to resort TO legal means to protect
himself from further assault and refuses
to swear to complaint. DR.. Guion, how
ever, at the request OF citizens, has noti-
fed the authorities that he will swear to
the plant. and dozen witnesses of
the most reputable character have offered
to testify that they saw the assault made
with brass or steel knuckies and a six
shooter The question of jurisdiction has
been raised, and the local authorities are
comforting with the United States authori-
ties regarding the matter, as the assault
was committed by a United States Gov
ernment officer in front of the Postoffice,
on ground belonging to the Government.

FRESE0'S MiSSiAG MAN.
0neasiness as TO the Whereabouts OF
Clark e. Wood, Under Bonds on an
Embezzieme1f CHARGE.

FRESNO, CAL, Nov. 19.-No one knows
the wherea bouts of Clark Z. Wood, VINO
Is under $4,000 bail to appear in court Tor
trial whenever wanted on charge oi en-
bezZlement, which he is alleged TO nave
committed while chief deputy In the
County Clerks office several months ago.
Ihere are rumors that he has departed
with the intention of never returning put
his bondsmen are having no fears III the
matter. Before Wood left he went 10 DIS
trict Attorney Snow and stated that ne
had position at raiiroading offered him
in Montana which be wodld accept II
allowed to leave the State. He SAID he
would return for trial whenever wanted.
Wood has twice been tried on the embez-
Element charge and both times the jury
disagreed. The District Attorney has
given up hope of securing conviction,
and he will therefore have the case DIS
missed. He told Wood he could go to
Montana if he could get employment. and
that the case would not be brought up Tor
trial at least for some time. Whether
Wood went to Montana or not is not
! known. The last heard OF hlm was when
| he was in San Francisco few weeks ago.
But as he will not be wanted for trial
! again his bondsmen are not trying to
| locate him.
Wood EN- mbezzled $500 while acting as
commissioner in foreclosure suit. The
money was placed in his charge, but he
| failed TO turn it over. He was at that time
chief deputy in the County Clerks ofhce.
Wood fed TO the East when demands for
| the money were made upon MIN, but after
| few weeks he returned and gave himself
up. He was formerly leading politician.
| and it was through friends that raised
money 10 employ the best local attorneys
to defend him that he was finally got out
| of the difficulty. That the way of the
! transgressor is hard is amply proved in
! Clark Woods case. Once be was popu-
| lar and highly successful young man, who
! had the brightest prospects before him,
! but now he has hardly friend in the com
munlty Since he mas been out on bail be
has proved himself very ungrateful to the
friends he had.

FROM REDD|NG
To SAN QUENTIN
Shasta's Defaulting Treas
urer Given a Ten Year
Sentence.
Affecting Scenes in Court During
the Last Act of the
Proceedings.
R cital Of the Prisoners Former Char
acter Brings Tears to the Eyes
of His Friends.

REDDING, CAL, Nov. 19.-Tbe last act
in the trial OF William Jackson, Shasta
County's embezZling Treasurer, was
brought to q close this afternoon at
o'clock. At that hour the one-time
watchdog of the treasury" was brought
before the bar of justice for embezzlement
The fact that Jackson was to be sentenced
was kept secret and no spectators were
present but CALL reporter and Democrat
reporter.
AS beftted the solemn scene that was to
take place the courtroom was dark and
presented a gloomy appearance. The pris-
oner was brought forward, looking pale
and haggard, and when the sentence had
been passed upon him his face wore an ex-
preston of relief that it was all over. 1t
was the most solemn courtroom scene that
was ever witnessed in Redding. The pros
ecution, conducted by District Attorney
Rose, the reading of the com mplaint by
Deputy Clerk Cunningham, and the sem
fencing OF the ex-Treasurer by Judge
s eeney-all three old time friends and
bosom com panions of the defaulter-was
indeed a painful duty and not dry eve
was noticeable in the courtroom. During
the reading of the complaint Jackson ap-
when it came 10 pleading jackson broke
down and his voice grew so husky that the
word guilty" was hardly audible as it es-
capped his lips.
After the plea was entered Attorney
Smith, for Jackson, announced that they
would waive time for sentence, and asked
that the com mitment be made out for San
Quentin prison.
Judge Sweeney recited the facts of the
case and asked Jackson if he knew of any
reason why sentence should not be i'm
posed. At this Attorney Smith arose and
dwelt on the past good character of the
defendant; the fact OF his having replaced
the money since his arrest, which was not
necessary ana which he could not be
made to produce; also of his saving the
county the cost OF a lengthy trial by plead
ing guilty at this time. These facts were
