SAN BERNARDINO June Pa case
for the S. P. C. E. came up yesterday,
but the proof was not considered suffi-
Client to base an action. Samuel Boards
ley a miner who resides in Holcomb
valley, borrowed a horse from another
resident of the camp and drove to this
city in six hours. Holcomb is distant
about sixty miles from this city. so that
the drive down the mountain road was
made at the rate Of ten miles an hour.
1t is difficult trial and in many places
Is up grade. Constable Arbois, who was
en- route to Holcomb, passed the reckless
driver, recognized the horse and on his
arrival In Holcomb notified the owner.
He at once started for this city and met
BeardeSley on the outskirts, starting
homeward with loaded wagon and in
a drunken condition He compelled him
to return to the city, where he was ar
rested for drunkenness and lodged in
Jail over night Those who are familiar
with the roughness Of the road are adj
miring the endurance of the animal that
made the rapid drive.
The official milk test for the month
of June has been submitted by the city
health officer and the showing is such
that 1t is believed that the average has
been reached. The rigid tests which have
been made during the last few months
have had the effect of raising the stand
ard of the milk delivered in very no.
ticeable degree.
The public administrator has received
another proof that the dead quarrymen
who was supposed to be penniless, was
the owner of bank account Instead of
being pauper, William Wulf must have
been an exceedingly thrifty man. The
new light was thrown on the case by
a letter written by a brother in Mason
City, Iowa, who states positively that
Wulf had a deposit in some bank be-
tween $4,000 and $5000 He does not know
at present in what bank the money was
placed but states that five years ago it
was kept IN an Omaha, Neb., bank. The
personal effects of the dead man did not
include any papers, trunk or valise. On
the theory that the discovery of such
a receptacle would disclose the place of
keeping for the money the administrator
is endeavoring to find that place where
storage must have been obtained. The
] o. o. F. has been called in and are try
ing to find the place where Wulf last
worked before his arrival in this city.
Searching parties are still out endeav-
oring to discover G. A. Wingfield or his
body. Later developments show that
the missing man made all preparations
for his death. A long letter was written
to Judge Otis Of the superior court, who
was warm personal friend. in which
he enlisted the offices of the judge to
make settlement of some small obliga-
tons which were due. He gave informa-
ton which would in any event lead to
his identification and the address of
brother in London, England, whom
he wished to be notified of the end.
A reward has been offered for infor-
nation.
Suit has been commenced in the su-
perior court by Cinderella Cooke against
Thomas ]. Collins to recover $4,000 due
on mortgage note given under date
of December IL, 1892.
