LOS ANGELES, July 26.-Jasper Gee,
a rancher Of Downey, 81 years of age,
was drowned to-day in the surf at
Long Beach while bathing. Gee went
in with a party of friends, two of whom
came near sharing his untimely fate.
j. B. Wilson of the party had a rope
thrown to him and was lowed ashore
n. G. Hughes had to struggle for life,
but reached the shore without assist
ance.
The drowning was caused by a treach-
erOus undertOw, which came so near en-
quilting the whole party that no assist
ance could be given to Cree A sad
feature Of the tragedy was that Gees
wife and three daughters witnessed his
struggles with the waves and heard his
piteous outcry for help. The body had
not been recovered at a late hour to-
night.

PORTLAND, July 26.-The Japanese

SAN FRANCISCO, July pa "Cal''
special from Portland, Or, says: Being
q jolly good fellow and an extravagant
man about town, having voluntarily
exiled himself from this city and from
his family and friends, George McCon-
nell. Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals of the knights of Pythias, is
under a cloud. In short, Mcconnell
robbed the order of between $1,000 and
So. 0O0 Experts are now going over
his accounts and when they make their
final report it is possible that this de-
falcation may be considerably swelled.
The first intimation of McConnelrs
populations came to light last October
during the meeting of the Grand Lodge.
At a morning session an announce
ment was made that the reports of the
Grand officers would be received in the
afternoon During the recess hours on
that day Mcconnell confessed to ten OF
his most intimate friends of the Grand
Lodge that he had embezzled about
$500 of the Grand Lodge funds. With
tears streaming down his cheeks ne
stated that drink was the cause of his
offense. He promised, II granted I'M
munity from criminal proceedings and
given announcer cUdLCc, llidI ii( "NoAo
forswear liquor and make restitution.
The knights whom Mcconnell took
into his confidence not only refrained
from exposing the culprit, but they
gave their individual notes to cover the
shortage In order to allow Mcconnell
to redeem himself these ten men were
instrumental in causing his reelection
to the trust he had betrayed; but TO
guard against any further derellctlon
on his part an amendment of the by
laws was effected that all subordinate
lodges should thereafter remit their
dues to the Grand Master Of the Exche-
quer instead of Mcconnell A NUMBER
of lodges, however, continued to remit
TO Mcconnell, and this money was
spent in riotous living.
The experts have discovered an add4-
1fonal $500 stolen by Mcconnell IN
1895. He left here a few days ago.

DAM WASHED OUT.
The NOkelumne Came Down With
Rush and a Roar.

LODI, July 26.-The big wooden dam
across the Mokelumne River at Wood
bridge was greatly damaged by a wash
out at 1870 O'Clock this morning. 1t
was washed out for a distance of 100
feet and the piling and aprons are partly
gone. No warning Of the approaching
disaster was given. The part that is
gone Is that put in last winter at much
expense No estimate can be made Of
the amount of the damage until the
water is lower. The farmers will get
no water until next winter, as no repairs
can be made until then. It will cause
great loss to alfalfa raisers. The dam
is the property of the Woodbridge Irri-
cation Company.
