EXCITEMENT At GUiNDA.
Brutal Attack Upon Rancher DaWidson's s
Nine Year-0td Girl by Gray
Haired Man.

GUlNDA, CAL, June 30.-This section
OF YoIo County is aroused to high pitch
OF excitement over brutal attack upon
the 9-year-old daughter of B. f. Davidson,
one of the most prominent fruit-growers
IN the western part of the county, by A.
j. Wells, blacksmith, 60 years of age.
Wells fed from the village, but was cap
tured on the county road between Madison
and Esparto, and he is now in Guinda
jail. An indignation meeting of citizens
was held, and threatening speeches were
made, but it was finally resolved to let the
law take its course
Wells had always borne good reputa-
ton. His intended victim, pretty little
miss, visited his blacksmitn-shop in COM
pany with playmate. Wells induced her
to go with him upstairs into loft fitted
out as wheelwright's apartment, promis-
ing to give her picture book.
In few minutes the little girl came run
ming downstairs, screaming at the top of
her voice. The two girls ran home and
informed Mrs. Davidson of her child's
narrow escape. Wells fed from his shop,
but officers started in pursuit and he was
captured some hours later. His hearing
will occur on Thursday.

Those at Work Must Yet Pene.
trate a Long Distance to
Reach the Victims.
SMALL HOPE NOW REMAINS.
At Least Fifty.Right Men Perished in
the Twin Shaft at Pittston
Junction.

WILKESBARRE. Pa, June 3d.
Another twenty-four hours have rolled
away and still the men at Twin Shaft,
Pittston junction, are making heroic
efforts to reach the men entombed, and
more progress was made this afternoon
than has been made since the work began.
There was no further squeezing in the
gangway or slope, and the men were not
interfered with in placing timbers and
feeling their way cautiously along.
On account of the favorable conditions
to-day the men have gone about 200 feet
farther into the slope than they were the
night previous, and reached the edge of
the cave. 1t is presumed that the en-
tom bed are about 700 feet from the edge of
the cave, and in order to reach the bodies
digging was begun with ali vigor.
The timbers behind the workers showed
no signs of bending, and all the officials
are agreed that everything was in good
condition.
To dig away the full 700 feet and reach
the bodies will take twelve or fifteen hours
longer, if everything continues favorable.
But the officials and rescuers think there
are open spaces beyond the edge of the
fall, which, of course, would not have to
be dug. and in these places the men would
only Lave to secure the roof. If the slope
is solidly choked up the digging would
take couple of weeks, but if the fall is
not heavy and there are open spaces the
men may be reached any time within the
next fifteen hours. This refers to the
main body of men entombed.
1t was known that Mayor Langan and
some of the other men were not as far in
the slope as the others, and to-day it was
thought probable by the officers that their
bodies might be reached at any time DUR
ing that time. The air is GOOD and it still
freely circulates among the rescuers.
The company mas completed a careful
and systematic canvass of the names and
the number of men who have perished in
the ili-fated mine. This list shows that
there are but fifty-eight men all told.

Unknown Schooner Lands Arms
for the Insurgents and
Gets Away.
TIE SPANISH CAUGHT MAPPING
Rebels Enter and Loot a Town at
Night While the Garrison
Is Sleeping.

HAVANA, CUBA, June 30.-Serain Slo-
reaa, clerk. % years old, and Emiliano
P1ldo, baker, % years old, residents OF
Jsrnce, Havana Province, were taken
from their homes recently to the outskirts
OF the town and shot by the Spanish civil
guards. No reason was assigned for the
act.
Colonel Aldea's men have burned the
houses on the stock farm OF FRANCISCO
Maria Fernandez, near Bolonres, Matan-
zas Province. Mr.. Fernandez is an Ameri-
can doctor and formerly lived in Brook
lyn.
At sunrise yesterday morning an un-
known schooner was seen off Copimar,
Havana. She was fired on from shore. but
succeeded in making a landing further
down the coast. She was under the pro-
lection OF an insurgent force believed to be
part of Aguizzuo's command. S e was
then lost sight of. 1t is said that the
schooner sailed from Havana despite the
vigilance of the Spanish authorities.
On the night of June 26 the inhabitants
of Aordazo, province of Santa Clara, were
surprised by the presence of rebels, who
had entered the town without arousing
the troops, who were supposed to be de-
tending the place. The insurgents looted
a store and killed q clerk and cousin of
the owner. The garrison, finally learning
what was going on under their very noses,
rushed to arms and attacked the invaders,
who were. according to the Government
report, compelled to retire with the loss of
four kilIed and Twelve wounded. The re-
port makes no mention of any Spanish
loss.
Adyices from Bahia Honda give the de-
tails of hot fight near Cayo Redondo be-
tween Spanish force and the rebels under
command of TRAY. The latter were de-
fested, with loss of thirteen killed.
Many wounded were carried off by the
rebels. The Spanish loss is not men
toned.

CROP OUTLOOK FA9ORABLE.
Encouraging Reports From All Sections
of the Country.


of the Country.
CHICAGO, Ill, June 30.-Reports as to
the condition of the crops throughout
the country show that the week ending
June 20 has been exceptionally favorable
and most crops have made rapid and
healthy growth. The winter wheat har-
vest continues in the central and northern
portion OF the winter wheat belt, but has
been INTERRUPTED to some extent by cloudy
and rainy weather in some sections. Corn
has made exceptionally good progress dur
ing the week. Cotton has improved over
the eastern portion of the cotton region, but
continues to suffer from drought in the
western portion. Tobacco ls in excellent
condition.
Enthusiastically favorable week, but
rather too wet in the southern portion of
the State.
South Dakota-About normal tempera-
ture ample sunshine and sufficient mois-
ture caused healthy growth in all crops.
Rust in few localities.
Nebraska-Another very favorabl week.
Small grain has been benefited in the
western counties by recent rains. The rye
and winter wheat harvest is progressing
well in the eastern counties. Corn has
grown unusually well.
Kansas-Cool week and abundant rains
over the entire State, except extreme
southwest counties, delaying harvesting
and threshing, but greatly improving
growing crops.
lowa-Early corn is being laid by, and
late-planted fields are making good prog
ress. In many localities heavy oats are
being badly lodged by wind and rain.
Numerous reports of rust on spring wheat
and barley are received.

He Was Married Over a Year
Ago to Katherine Martin
of Oakland.
RICHES GAINED IN DURANGO.
Has Become the Owner of Nearly a
Million Acres of Timber
Land.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 30.-Dan NJ.
Murphy, the popular young society and
club man ano land king, has returned
from trip to Eagle Pass, Mexico, where
he has extensive enterprises under way.
Mr.. Murphy owns large portion of the
State of Durango the most fertile section
of the southern republic, and there is a
prospect that when the work now in hand
is accomplished there will be in sight, on
land of which he is the sole owner, about
500, 900 worth of material for which
there is ready market. A large force OF
men is now making ROAD and when this
is completed to Durango lively times will
be inaugurated in that region. Sawmills
are to be erected and teams and men by
by the hundreds given employment put
ting lumber into market which cannot
be fully supplied for years.
In talking of the prospe cts for the i'm
mediate future Mr.. Murphy appeared to
be very much elated, and when it leaked
out that he had returned with wife his
friends had occasion to doubly congratu-
late HIM, and also the young lady, on the
prospect of such bright future. Although
the marriage occurred over year ago few
other than intimate friends were aware
that Mr. Murphy was married at Los An
geles in March, 1895, to Miss Katherine
Martin of Oakland, beautiful and tai
ented young lady. They are now the
guests of his mother, Mrs. Murphy Colum-
bet, at her elegant residence at the corner
of Fifth and William streets. When
questioned by CALL representative to-day
Mr.. Murphy said:
'There are bright business prospects in
Durango and otner parts of Northern
Mexico. 1t is rich country, and its
growth is steady and certain to continue
for years to come. The greatest single in
dustry, present and prospective, is that of
lumber.
There is demand for lumber that can
not be fully supplied for some time to
come. The business is ahead Of mining
and everybody is anxious to engage in it.
At present the Source of supply is Eastern
Texas. and building material is high IN
consequence. / have 5000 acres of fine
timber a short distance from the city of
Durango and situated so as to control the
trade of Northern Mexico.
THE preparations for getting out this
lum Der are now under way. l am having
road constructed from the city of Du-
range, distance of eighteen miles. which
will be the finest wagon road in Northern
Mexico.
"When this is completed the hauling of
ties will begin. / have made arrange
ments to deliver at Durango 100000 ties a
year, which cost but a few cents each to
get out and will sell for 20 cents piece.
Aside from the railroad ties, telegraph
poles, wood and charcoal, there is 500 000,-
0o0 worth of sawmill lumber Ill sight on
my ranch, according to the estimates of
two civil engineers. 1t is my purpose to
erect sawmills and get out lumber as
rapidly as possible.
YES" said Mr.. Murphy in conclusion,
''the prospects in Durango are very bright
indeed, and / am well sa tisfied."
