RAILWAY SUIT AT STOCKTON.
Action Brought on a Claim against the

Action Brought on a Claim, against the
VdIIey Road.
STOCKTON. CAL, June 3.-Suit was
filed to-day by A. V. Scanlan, as assignee
for J. w. Mccarthy and J. c. Doyle.
against the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
Company, to compel payment of $l975 II
on their contract taken by Thornton &
Co. for making the grade of the road in
side the city of Stockton. The complain
ants who assigned their accounts to Scan
Ian were members of the firm of Thorn
ton & Co., and when the work of the
graders was about completed they were
obliged to fill in some 53, 900 cubic yards of
earth to make up for the shrinkage caused
by settling.
The Valley road engineers made their
estimates of the numb ber of cubic yards Of
earth used, and the payments to the con-
tractors were made on this basis. The lat
ter thought there was more earth used
than the estimates called for, and had
Surveyor Compton of this city figure on
the amount used. His estimates were con-
siderably over those of the Valley road
engineers, and so the contractors de-
manded more money.
Thornton would not join his associates
in making the demand, as the trio had
quarreled over the settlement of their
accounts.

Huntington had accomplished one OF the
most gigantic, bare-faced steals ever
known. In my opinion the report OF the
committee will be in favor of Santa Mon
ica, and that means that the Government
will build breakwater for the Southern
Pacific corporation.
"My postal savings bank bill was, OF
course, again defeated, but each year 1T
gains ground. The money sharks don t
want to see such a bill passed, and they
will fight it to the end. The mineral land
bill, introduced by me, was not in the in
terest of the Southern Pacific, and as
that corporation is a power in Congress,
the bill was defeated. After most de-
termined battle we succeeded in stopping
the passage of another of Huntington s
infamous bills-the funding bill. At first
l was fearful of defeat, but finally we got
our forces in good shape and | went to
the committee representing Huntington
and invited it to bring up its bill, but the
Huntington crowd realized our strength,
and, rather than suffer defeat, allowed it
to go over to the next Congress-"

veStOr.

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, June g.
Among fifteen gold seekers who returned
from Alaska on the steamship Utopia was
Frank McCurdy, a business man of this
city, who was one OF the Lakme passen-
gers. The prospects were SO uncertainand
the country so bare and rugged that Nc
Curdy determined to get back to civiliza-
ton as soon as possible. McCurdy says a
more desolate country was never seen by
man, and that any one who remains there
to make fortune is welcome TO all he can
get.
Returning miners laugh heartily over
the sen satlonal stories which are being
given TO the press al over the country
about the untold wealth of Coal Bay.
They say theso stories are told simply 10
attract people who have money 10 buy
shares in certain corporation known as
the Boston & Alaska Mining Company.
The "acres and acres OF gold bearin Z
GAINS" are nothing more or less, they say,
than miles of beach, the sand of which is
said to contain more or less gold. 1t will
require systematic dredging to get this
sand in condition for working and as
there is not dredger nearer than Puget
Sound the people there will be somewhat
handicapped in their work for some lime
to come.
The following schedule will show the
mum Der of vessels and passengers who
have been recorded as arriving at Cooks
Inlet this season:
April 3-steamer Excelsior, Coal Bay, rs
passengers.
April l5-Steamer Lakme. Coal Bay, 22O pas

PLACERVlLLE,C CAL, June 3.-The trial
OF George w. Roberts, accused of killing
Walter D. Freeman by cutting his throat
with a pocket-knife at Latrobe April IA,
closed last night. The jury was out three
hours and returned a verdict OF murder in
the first degree.
Roberts is native of Ohio and 81 years
old. Freeman was native of this county,
OF good family and but "a years old. He
was we'll known as an athlete, taking much
pleasure in footracing, boxing and football.
A casual conversation in James Harris
saloon turned upon the subject of wrest-
lers and wrestling. Roberts insisted upon
trying conclusions with some one and
freeman said in jocular manner: "You
are too old a man for me-" Roberts in
sisted upon test of strength. He was
quickly foored by Freeman, after which
he good-nuturedly paid for a round of
drinks and left the place.
Twenty minutes later Roberts return ed
and entered into conversation with Free
man. Suddenly he drew large jackknife
from his pocket and as quick as fash cut
Freeman's throat, severing the iugular
vein.
George Penter seized Roberts and threw
him. Bystanders lent assistance and the
murderer was locked in a room awaiting
the arrival of Sheriff Hilbert.
In the trial the defense set up the plea
of drunkenness, alleging that the culprit' 5
mind was blank. he remem bering moth

liberating for three hours, returned YER
dict of murder in the first degree. judge
Bennett will sentence the murderer on
June II.
Latrobe, the scene of the murder, is
twenty -one miles west of Placervilie. The
entire county was alert and interested in
the case. Roberts has been in trouble be-
fore having served time for an assault upon
a Chinaman, who died from the wounds he
inflicted. He was in trouble also in Ne
vada. Freeman bore an excellent reputa-
ton and was popular among all classes.
He was nephew of ex-senator J. H.

FOUND ON UNION ISLAND
Edith Way, a Missing Stockton
Girl, Discovered by Her
Father.
Living at the Home of a Rancher,
Who Drives the Parent
Away.

STOCKTON, CAL, June Sc Gorge W.
Way, the father of Edith Way, the girl
who told such strange story recently
about having been abducted this after
noon swore out writ of habeas corpus,
calling upon William Gabriel, who lives
on Union Island, to bring into Judge
Smiths court tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock the body of his daughter.
Way was very much excited when he
rushed into Attorney Lights office this
afternoon and related his story. bout a
week ago he heard from Mrs. Ball, who
lives on California street, that his wife,
who ran away after the girls escapade,
and his daughter were being kept on Union
Island. He started out to find them, and
at 10 o'clock last Friday night succeeded
in locating them at GaDriePs. He reasoned
with his wife and finally induced her to
leave with him for home. 1t was thought
best to leave the girl, Edith, with the
Gabries until the next day, as Mrs.
Gabriel was sick and begged to have the
girl left with her until her father came for
her.
When Way went to the home OF the Ga
briels yeste day for his little Girl Grabriel
told him that he could not have her, and
that he would have to walk over his dead
body before he could get her. AS the man
was armed and Way had no weapons with
him at the time he thought the best thing
be could do was to come back to town and
sue out writ of habeas corpus, conpell-
ing the man who was OBTAINING Edith TO
deliver her up 10 him.
Way suspects there is a man on the ISL
and, in the employ of Gabriel, who was
instrumental in inducing the girl to wan
der over to the powder-house in the recent
storm and that her mother and her were
willing parties to whatever took place on
the dav when the child was found half
naked in the pelting rain. The following
day this man took mother and daughter
from this city to. the island where they
were kept until Way learned their where
abouts.
