They Sold Worthless Property to Oue1'
Fire Hundred People.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, June 18.-The
County Bank of this city has commenced
action in the Superior Court against L. 9.
Branch. proprietor of the notorious Moro
Bay improvement Company, to foreclose
a mortgage on some property on the Cor
raj de Piedra rancho and on 1000 acres of
town lots in Ell Moro.
1t is matter of general sincere regret
that the suit was not brought years ago.
1t puts quietus on the notorious "Morro
Ray improvement Company" a scheme
which has bunkoed 500 individuals out of
a hundred dollars or more each. The
dupes received supposed title to an in
fnitesimal piece of worthless sand dune,
inaccessibIy ituated.
The proposition, as originally laid before
the public and which received the approval
of those cegnizant of the proceedings, was
to undertake the improvement of Moro
Bay and provide such buildings, hotels,
roads and alamedas as should make an
attractiv and popular seaside resort. The
capital required was to be procured from
the sale of lots. 1t does not appear that
scheme had any intention of making any
such use of the moneys received. On the
contrary, their efforts were confined to
making a map, printing deeds and pocket
ing the proceeds of the sales made.
The victims were given TO understand
that the s'lots" were sold free and clear of
all incumbrance, but as shown by the
present suit the schemers did not have the
decency to take the small percentage of
the winnings required to clear off the
mortgage and apply it to that purpose.
Consequently in the present action all the
unfortunate lot-hoders are made defend
ants and the suit will kill off any hopes
they may have been foolish enough to enter
tain with reference to their vanished coin.
This land scheme has been very detri-
mental to the whole county, and every one
is rejoicing that the land sharks have at
last been brought up with sharp turn.
Many purchasers of lots reside in San
Francisco.

SANTA CLARA'S OUTLOOK
Sunshine Breaking Through the
Clouds of Business De-
preston.
Several Important Real Estate Deals
Recently Consummated and More
Will Follow.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 18-The past
year has been a disastrous one to all busi-
ness in this State, the real-estate interests
feeling the effect more acutely than prob
ably any other branch. In the general
improvement which is now showing in all
lines of business property interests are, as
is always the case, among the first to re-
ceive substantial benefits. Quiet but very
effective work has been going on in this
county, which will be of far reaching
benefit not only to Santa Clara but to the
entire State.
About four years ago the Morgan Hill
ranch, a beautiful domain of 10000 acres.
without Improvements, was subdivided
and offered for homes. Notwithstanding
the great depression that has character
lied business since then, there has grown
up on that property q resident population
of 500 people, who can boast of large
$4,000 schoolhouse and one of the finest
railroad stations on the line. Waterworks
have been established and 5000 acres of
fine orchards are now growing on the
ranch. and young as the trees are, many of
them are bearing crops.
The San Martin, another large property
near the Morgan HILL has been on the
market for three years, with similarly
gratifying results. Here are 10000 acres

think she was good girl. The deponent
said that Mrs. Parker told her when she
came from New York once in about 1872
that she had been living with two other
women, all of whom had been supported
by men. She was well dressed and had
diamonds and iewelry. On one occasion
she said she had been living with a man
named George L, Brown, and they had
travelled extensively. She said she was
going to leave him because she had OBJ
tanned all she could from him.
Mrs. Beatley detailed the Irritation that
led to Emma Parker and herself meeting
Ed Parker and Mr.. Scranton. Ed Parker
and Mr.. Scranton were on the street. when
Mrs. Parker struck up a Irritation. Mr..
Scranton made the advances. and because
the witness was bashful Emma referred to
her as simple country girl. The arrange
ments for drive we're made in hotel
parlor while Ed Parker was waiting out
side for the developments. When ar
ranged, Parker and the contestant drove
together and the witness and Mr.. Scranton.
They went to Rocky Hill, where game
supper with plenty of wine was enjoyed.
They spent the entire evening there drink
ing and singing. They all became intoxi-
Gated. On their way back to town an acci-
dent happened to Parker's rig, and the two
men took their companions to the Charter
Oak building, where they secured room.
The deponent says Emma Parker was
under the influence of liquor when they
arrived at the room. They had more
liquor to drink, and the entire party spent
the night in the room together.
This afternoon Rudolph Messing and
John Stock, who witnessed George n.
Parker's will, were put on the witness
stand.
The case went over until Monday morn.

MINERS DEMAND THE1R PAY.
Serious Trouble NarrosUIy Averted at the

Serious Trouble NaTroscIy AceTted at the
Golden Cross Mine.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 1S.-serious
trouble among the ITO miners at the
Golden Cross mine on the desert was mar
rowly averted a day or two ago. The COM
pany owning the great properties is en-
barrassed through mismanagement, and
w. w. Stewart of this city has just taken
charge as receiver under $4,000 bond,
his salary being $4,000 per year.
I. S. Fuller, former manager of the
mine, arrived to-day with the owners,
Hedges Brothers, to justify Receiver Stew
arts bonds.
Before the receiver arrived at the camp,
according to Mr. Fuller, the 40 men en-
ployed in the mines, who had not been
paid regularly, were in open revolt against
C. II. Toll, manager for the trustees, and
only the words of cool-headed men among
them prevented trouble. These men in
duced the miners to hold meeting in
Miners Union hall and talk over their
troubles dispassionately. After assem-
bling, they sent for Mr. Fuller, who eau
toned them against violence.
About the time of Mr.. Stewards ap-
pointment as receiver an order was re-
ceiyed from the trustees at Los Angeles to
make a cleanup OF amalgam. As the reg
ular time for making cleanup had not
arrived the miners became suspicious and
feared that their pay was to be with
held. The amalgam was not allowed
to be sent to Los Angeles.
but was locked up in the COM
pany's safe and she building put in charge
of two employees, who were furnished with
revolvers and given orders to allow no.

Reading of Mrs. Beatley's Depositio
Causes q Sensation.

Heading of Mrs. Beatfey's Deposition
Causes a Sensation.
SAN JOSE, Call, June 18.-SoTne sensa-
tional evidence was introduced in the
Parker will contest this morning by the
reading OF the deposition of Mrs. Medora
Beatley of Hartford, Conn. It showed
that Emma T.. Parker, the contestant, had
led gay and fast life before she met Ed
ward L. Parker. Mrs. Beatley had been
an intimate acquaintance of Emma
Parker, and she told of the Irritation which
led to the contestant first meeting Edward
Parker, and of the wine supper and night
of reyelry that followed. Der narration
of the Rocky Hill escapade differed ma
ter:ally from that told by Mrs. Parker on
the stand.
In her deposition Mrs. Beatley said she
knew Emma Parker, then Emma Hough,
intimately in her youth. Her mother OBJ
jected to her meeting Emma Hough, but
she was bound to do so, and she met her
at the house of her sister. Mrs. Beatley's
mother did not want her to have anything
to do with Emma because she did not

land of the Morgan Hill and San Martin
ranches have been steadily maintained,
and to- day the land is selling at increased
figures.
c. H. Phillips, who with 7. G.. Mont
gomery has been directing the sale of
these lands, made in March last the largest
single sale of real estate ever made in this
State. This property was the Chino
Ranch. Yesterday two more important
sales were made by Mr.. Phillips in San
Luis Obispo County-one the Godfrey
Ranch of 10 600 acres and the other one of
20s0 acres, eight miles from Paso Robes.
These two sales were made to colonisrs
from Nebraska.
In connection with these ranches Messrs.
Phillips and Montgomery have taken a
large property of great interest to San Jose
and the valley, and have plans we'll organ
lied for an aggressive campaign, expect
ing to close out the Morgan Hill ranch
during the year and 10 make decided in
roads into the San Martin and do very
active work in the vicinity of San Jose.

same cell IN the County Jail here with Sal
vatore Ragosa, who is now serving an
eight-year term in San Quentin for burg
larry. Ragosa had robbed the Van Su gs
place at Almaden and the residence of w.
H. Hamilton on the Los Gatos road, and
had buried the plumber near Redwood
City. Before Ragosa's trial came on Clark
was DISCHARGED, and Ragosa con6ded to
him the hiding place of his booty, with
the understanding that Clark was to dis
pose of it and divide the proceeds with
Ragosa.
Clark secured the stuff, and disposed of
some of the jewelry in this city, which
Sheriff Lyndon recovered. When Ragosa
learned that Clark, had pocketed the en-
tire proceeds of the cache, he told Sheriff
Lyndon OF the matter. A search was at
once instituted for Clark, but he had dis
appeared.

of Fresno County and was instrumental in
the capture Of the outlaws Sonrag and
Evans. In relating the story, he said:
''I had just made a turn when 1 saw an
object in the road did not know what
it was at first. 1t was dressed in gunny-
sacks from top to bottom. When l had
approached to within twenty feet it proved
to be a masked man, who suddenly swung
a gun around and pointing it at me told
me to halt. When / did so he requested
me to throw out the Wells-Fargo box and
I promptly obeyed.
'sHe then commanded the passengers to
throw out their money. All of the pas
sengers com piled with the exception of
Captain Bailey, who said he had brought
no money with him. The Iobher then
told me to drive on, and he kept his gun
pointed at the stage until turn IN the
road left him alone with his spoils."
There were two express boxes on the
stage, way box and through box, and
the box that was thrown out was the way
box, which contained two waybIlls and
worthless letter The value of the prop
erty taken from the passengers is said to
aggregate about SIS. The stage proceeded
on till the Nine-mile House was reached,
when boy was dispatched back to Ray
mond with the news of the robbery, and
telegram brought Sheriff Westfall and one
of his deputies from MADEIRA.
Sheriff Prouty 81 fMariposa County had
also received word of the robbery, and he
Joined Westfall in the chase. A small
posse was organized, and the express-box
was found about half mile distant from
where the robbery was committed. 1t had
been broken into, the lock on the outside
being broken off, and with the exception
of the loss of the paddock was uninjured.
There were the tracks of one man lead
ing to where the box was found, and the
ira cks of two horses leading away from it
in a northerly direction, which leads the
officers to believe that tie robber had a
confederate, who aided in his escape.
The officers will continue the search, but
on account of the roughness of the sur
round ing country it viii be difficult task
TO capture the robber.
There have been three men arrested on
suspicion. One of them is an unknown
man here who has been lettering around
town for few days. He was seen shortly
after the robbery coming from that direc-
ton and was arrested by Constable Leon
ard.
The other two men are William Little
field and David Robinson, who are both
known to some extent throughout the
country.
The indications of guilt if any, that
pointed toward these men are somewhat
vague and indefinite, other than that it
was thought somebody ought to be ar
rested.
