that the 800 sent by her was not sufficient
to cover all the expenses. He assured the
sister that he had taken great interest in
her brother, in fact had become so much
attached to him that he had kept the
'poor boy" at his private house instead of
sending him to the hospital. Mason
wound up by requesting the sum of $50.
But the sister was not so easily ouped.
She was anxious to help her brother if he
needed, put she wanted to be sure on that
point. Accordingly Miss Christie wrote
the Postmaster at Truckee for information
about ''Sheriff Mason" and also her
brother. This little precaution brought
about the downfall of Mason. 1t developed,
of course, that Mason held no official po-
sition in Nevada County, and. in fact, was
hardly known there. The matter was at
once turned over to Inspector Munro, and
after several weeks he succeeded in tracing
Mason TO Colusa. In the meantime he
also found Everett Christie, the injured
son and brother. He has been in San
Francisco for two years, and is now work
ing as cook at Swanberg's oyste--house.
One of the peculiar phases of the case is
that Christie does not know Mason, at
least under that name. He will be at In
spector Munro's Office to-day to get good
square look at the IT an who knows enough
of his family to be able TO perpetrate such
a fraud.

SILENT BURGLARS
IN THE MISSION,
The Residence of Jefferson
G. James Ran
sacked.
NO NOISE WAS HEARD.
While fhe Family Silent Dia.
While the Family Slept Dia-
monds and Other Articles
Were Stolen.
ENTERED BY A REAR WINDOW
The Police Have Been Notified, but
So Far There Is No Clew to
the Midnight Visitors.

Ex-Supervisor Jefferson G. James is
mourning the loss OF his diamond studs
ana other articles of the value of about
$1,000 and he is willing 20 pay $3.50 for their
return and to ask no questions.
While he and his family were sound
asleep Sunday morning visitors called at
the house, 2131 Howard street, and finding
one of the Windows in the rear unfastened,
they entered by that means so as not to
disturb the sleepers by ringing the front
doorbell.
They went through the dining-room
into the hallway and ascended to the
sleeping apartments upstairs. From all
appearances they had familIarized them
selves with the interior of the house.
Mr.. and Mrs. James slept in a large
double bedroom facing Howard street and
NJ T. and Mrs. Walker c. Graves in large
room in the rear.
Mrs. James was the first to discover that
strangers had been in the house during
the night. She arose about 8 o'clock Sum
day morning and found, 10 her astonish-
ment, everything in the room in confus-
ion. Bureau drswers had been drawn
out and their contents dumped upon the
floor. Her diamonds, worth over $1,000
were kept IN chest of drawers that stood
In q corner near the bed, and to her ioy
she found that they had escaped the OBJ
servation of the midnight visitors They
were In the bottom drawer and evidently
by chance all the drawers had been care
fully examined except the bottom one
Mrs. James then awakened her nus-
band. His garments, which he had placed
on chair, had disappeared In the hall
way he found his shirt, but his diamond
studs, one weighing 1% carats and the
other IL carats. were gone. and so were
his diamond cun buttons and collar but
ton. His trousers and purse were also in
the hallway, and $I4 had been distracted
from the purse. His gold watch, worth
$3.50, and two jeweled brooches had also
been stolen.
After ransacking Mr.. James room the
burglars tad visited the room occupied bv
Mr.. and Mrs. Graves. They emptied Mr.
Graves trousers pockets of their coin and
carried away Mrs. Graves silk dress, which
was subsequently found in the yard to-
gether with her husbands hat. They had
taken with them, however, a fine overcoat
belonging to Mr.. Graves and brand-new
silk hat which Mr.. James purchased few
DAYS ago.
The burglary was reported to the police
on Sunday, and detectives have since then
been working on the case. Each pawn
broker in the City has been supplied with
list OF the stolen articles but it is not
thought likely that the burglars will try to
dispose of the property here.
Mr.. James said he retired about 1890
O'Clock Sunday morning and slept soundlv
till awakened by his wife, who told him of
the burglary. The burglars had done
their work silently and effectively He
congratulated himself that his wife's dia-
monds had been overlooked. He is hope
ful that the men will soon be captured.

order of Inspector-in-charge Munro was
arrested yesterday. He will be brought
from Colusa to-day by United States

The evidence in the possession of Mr..
Munro proves Mason to be very smooth
citizen, thouga he was a little over-conf-
dent, as the after results prove.
In April last Mason, who was then liv-
ing at Truckee wrote to Mrs. Margaret
Christie of Warham, Mass, stating that
her son, Everett Christi, had been seriously
injured in railway accident One ankle
was broken and both wrists fractured and
to the latter atfliction was due the sons
inability to write. Mason assured Mrs.
Christie that her son was doing yery we'll
under his care and further that the boy
was most anxious to get home. The letter
wound up by requesting that 800 be sent
at once to Mason and he would see the
son safely aboard the cars going to Boston
town. The writer claimed to be Sheriff of
Nevada County, requesting, however, that
all letters be sent to 'plain James Mason.

lost no time in leaving Truckee, he taking
with him woman known in that section
of the country as Ella Raymond. To
Colusa the pair journeyed and for a time
rolled very high. After few days, how
ever, Mason's coin began to run low and
he bethought himself of ways and means
to replenish his purse. He wrote 10 Miss
Hattie VI. Cristie of Boston repeating the
old story of the railroad accident. He sup
posed that she had been informed by her

British navy, and Mr.. y, L. Cross.
Both gentlemen came from Calgary,

to sell ont their business. which they
did at Il handsome figure. They were
both of the same disposition and their
inciinations ran along the same lines.
Both wanted to go to the South Sea

originies and strange sights.
MeSsrs. Cochrane and Cross are now
in Hawaii on that mission. They came
direct from England by way of Can
ada. Their plan is to outfit II schooner

Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti and the other
islands in the South seas in quest of
adventure.
1t is stated they will endeavor to
lease or purchase the schooner Norma,
belonging to W. +. Rowell, Superin-

of adventures and have had a longing
for the present trip for number of
years. After spending ten months or

JOHN d. PARIS ATTORNEYS MAKE
STRONG ARGUMENT.
Attorney General Smith for he Re
public-Claims Put Forth-Propri-
ETY. of the Questions Asked.

Rather exhaustive arguments were
the Republic against j. ID. Paris of
South Kona, before the Supreme
Court this morning. Mr.. Paris was
arrested this year at the instance OF
the Government authorities, charged
with violating the census laws. He
was brought before the District Court
of South Kona for trial and fined So
and costs. Mr. Paris appealed his case
to the highest tribunal in the land.
Attorney General Smith represented
the Government this morning. He CON
tended that the questions contained
in the census blank and which Mr.
Paris refused to answer were reason
able and proper.
Thurston & Stanley appeared for
Mr.. Paris. The most important con
tention of the defense was that under
Chapter 20 of the Penal Code and SEQ
tion of chapter II of the laws OF
1878, all there is called for is Il census
of the inhabitants of the kingdom as
specifically calling forth the number
of inhabitants, number of each sex,
and such other particulars as the
Board of Education may direct and
the showing of the increase or the de-
crease of the population.
Paris is charged with violating this
statute. so the attorneys claimed. in
refusing TO answer certain question
contained in the census blank which
related to his property The defens,
insisted that he had perfect right
TO do so as any man had Il perfect
right to withhold that information
| Another contention was that when Il
says such other particulars as tn,
Board of Education may direct Il
means particularly as to nationality
or religion, or whether a man is abb,
TO read or write. There is nothing i
the statutes which authorizes for the
calling forth of the information as tC
mans property. the number of horses
cattle, sheep or swine that he may
have. The attorneys insisted that thi,
was invading the province of the tax
asse sSor.
| The defense argued that there hao
been no showing made that the Board
of Education had asked that such par
tiCulars be obtained; that il appeare,
that the census superintendent had
taken it upon himself to seek this in
formation. 1t was also asserted that
the census agent who brought arount
the paper containing the blank wa,
not the proper agent, he having faieC
to take the oath of allegiance to tn,
present Republic.
The case was taken under advise
ment by the Court.
