A SANTA BARBARA PEST,
Raspberry and Strawberry Beds
Ravaged by Flocks of
TanagerS.
Beautiful Louisiana Songsters Migrate
TO California for the First
Time.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May 15.-
During the past few weeks much comment
has been made upon the advent in Santa
BarbarSin extraordinary numbers of the
beautiful and brilliant Louisiana tanager.
bird of brilliant plumage often con-
founded with the oriole. The tanager has
hitherto been a rare visitor to this locality,
and there has been great rejoicing over
this springs unusual migration.
This rejoicing bids fair to be turned to
lament. The dainty little visitor, so
warmly welcomed, is working havoc
with the small fruit crops. The most ex.
tensive raspberry grower in this locality.
Frank Brink, reports that out of the first
crop on two acres he is doubtful whether
he can save nalf. A stra wberry bed on his
ranch has been similarly ravaged From
other farms along the Goleta road come
the same discouraging reports, the birds
having appeared in fiocks of thousands,
ravaging all the fruit in their course. The
tanager is usually regarded as an insec-
tiverous bird, and it is hoped that it will
turn its attention to its proper diet, for
those who have most sorely suffered
through its visitations are 10th to see it
destroyed or oriven away.

RELIEF HILL MYSTERY,
James Corns Shot and Badly
Wounded by a Mining
Partner.
Strange Tale Told in Justification by
the Man Who Fired Upon
Him,

NEVADA CITY, CAL, May 15.-James
Corns was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded yesterday afternoon near Relief
Hill by Tim Fitzgerald of Moore's Flat.
The men had gone to look at mine of
which both are part owners. When about
to return to Corns' cabin Fitzgerald took
his companions shotgun and went across
the country while Corns took another
route. Fitzgerald claims that as he neared
the cabin a masked man appeared, and
with pistol in his hand ordered him to
give up the shotgun. Fitzgerald responded
by firing at the masked individual, shoot
ing him in the left side and through the
lett arm. The man fell. Upon an exam
;nation Fitzgerald found that he had shot
Corns.
The story told by Fitzgerald, who went
to North Bloomfield for doctor and to
give himself up to the officers, is not be-.
lieved, the general opinion being that
both men had been drinking and that dur
ing row that ensued the shooting took
place.

Mrs. Sanders Heeds Their Words
and a Suit for Divorce
Results.
TRUSTED WITH GREAT SECRETS
The Husband Objects to Repeated
Assurances of Murderer Dur.
rants Innocence.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 15.-Some
breezy and more or less sensational testi-
mony was given to-day in the case of
Sanders VS.. Sanders, an action for divorce
in Judge Shav's department OF the Su-
perior Court. Mrs. Sanders, who is tall
and slender. is plaintiff in this suit against
Benjamin f. Sanders, proprietor of the
Calderwood roomina house on South
Main street. She asks judgment on the
ground of cruelty and because of atten-
tions alleged to have been paid to one of
the roomers, Mrs. Ella Marie Siekler.
Mrs. Sanders description of the conduct
on the part OF herhusband was given in a
matter-of-fact way and she refreshed her
memory from paper held in her hand.
Her husband listened to her testimony
smilingly. The case was partially tried
several weeks ago. but was continued for
further testimony, and to-day a number
OF witnesses were present.
The fair plaintiff has long been a seeker
after "spirit development" and much of
her trouble with her husband grew out of
her visits to mediums, sittings and the
like.
She said on the witness stand that her
husband accused her of intimacy with
Ben Barney. Barney was married man,
and she went to his house for spiritual
development-never was in the house
when Barney's vile wasn't there. Her
husband told her all that she went there
for was to be paved over by Barney,
which hurt her feelings. After they sepa-
rated he also uniustly accused her of in
timacy with c. J. Barclay. Such are the
salient points of Mrs. Sanders allegations
OF cruelty against her husband.
According to the defendant his ears
were constantly regaled with what his
wife heard from time to time from various
mediums. The oldest incident told by
Mr.. Sanders in his complaint is with ref
erence 10 Durrant, the San Francisco muir
derer. Before his trial Mrs. Sanders de-
clared that the spirits had informed her of
Durrants innocence, and that Miss Boalt
and Mr.. Pierce, with her assistance, would
save him. In pursuance of their plans
Miss Boalt and Pierce went to San Fran
cisco, and she remained in Los Angeles,
but kept her mind completely fixed on the
saving OF Durrant, much to Mr.. Sanders
disgust.

BIG GAME NEAR POMONA,
Hunting Parties Camping on the Trat
Of HUGE GrizsIH Bcnr.

POMONA, CAL, May 15.-While pros
pecting on Wednesday for water in Cattle
Canyon, retreat in the Sierra Madre
Mountains only few miles north of Po-
mona, Il. n. Pierce, with several COM
panions, came upon fresh tracks of a big
bear. Not being experienced in hunting
that species of animal the men went to q
cabin several miles away, where lived an
old bear hunter, who had trapped and
killed black and grizzly bears in the
Rocky Mountains thirty years ago. The
old trapper went back with them. As
soon as he saw the tracks he said they
we're those of a grizzly, and big one, too,
for they measured by 101I inches
The party tracked the bear up the
canyon some distance, till the trail was
lost in the mountains. There were tracks
also OF mountain lion, which had fol-
lowed the trail OF the bear.
Mr.. Pierce and his companions hastened
back to Pomona ard equipped themselves
with arms and provisions and started off
yesterday morning to join the old hunter
ana scour the mountains in quest of his
bearshlp, whose hide they are determined
to bring back. Other parties are getting
ready to join In the hunt, for it is not
often that sportsmen have the pleasure of
hunting grizzlies in this vicinity. While
u is well known to old hunters that on
the Sierra Madre are many black and
grizzly bears. that in former years used to
come down into the valleys, not in wears
has grizzly been seen within forty miles
of Pomona.

have bestowed upon their holdings.
Ii the Valley road reaches Reedley in

SAcRAMENT0'S SENSATION.
Mrs. Lee Testfes to the Contents of Letters
to and From Ex-Mayor


ACRAdENTO, CAL, May Is. - Mrs.
Lee was on the stand all this morning in
the Gregory embezzlement case. Her tes-
timony consisted of Identifying letters
written by Gregory to her. The contents
of the letters related chiefly to social mat
ters, end while they did not contain warm
expressions of love, referred to Gregory as
''the manager" Several letters stated
that the money loaned to Gregory Brothers
had been used to good advantage, and that
the firm could use more, as it is found that
hard times had affected its business very
materially.
Mrs. Lee testified that Gregory called
on her at Red Bluff and told her lie loved
her, she responding that she had not
thought much on the subject. Mr.. Bruner
asked the witness if she had preserved
copies of letters written to Gregory. She
answered that she had copied most OF
them. Bruner then moved that her testi-
mony relative to her letters be stricken
out, as the copies were the best evidence
as TO what the letters contained. The wit
ness qualified her statement by saying she
had made copies, but had destroyed them.
1t is understood the defense will intro
duce all of the letters written by Mrs. Lee,
for the purpose of showing that the loans
were made voluntarily, and with the
knowledge OF Gregory Brothers financial
standing.

Spring and First streets on April 16 be-
fore Police Judge Owens.
Il. n. Brown, with whom Andrews had

evidence showed that Brown had annoyed
Mrs. Andrews in various WAYS, writing
her letters in which he assailed her credi-

She showed the missives to her hus-
band, who hunted up Brown to make him
apologize and when he refused to do so,

MARsHALLS FIAT CASUALTY.
Mrs. Witliam Joyce accidentally Shot by
Her Husbands Stepfdther.

Mrs. William Joyce accidentally Shot by
Her Husbands Stepfather.
SONORA. CAL, May 15.-What will in
all probability prove to be fatal accident
occurred at Marshalls Flat. southeast of
here, Wednesday m orning. Mrs. William
Joyce and her husband, who owns a mine
in that vicinity, were sitting talking out
side of their home on the porch, when sud-
denly Mrs. Joyce jumped up, exclaiming,
81 am shot"
You are mistaken" her husband re-
piled, but seeing the blood few minutes
later gushing out of his wife's breast, he at
once carried her into the house and tele-
phoned to this city for DR.. Bromley and
Father Guerin.
The parties mentioned set out without
delay and arrived at Marshalls Flat after a
hard drive of twenty-five miles over the
toughest kind of road, having covered the
distance in three hours and half.
The doctor found on examination of the
injured woman that she had received a
shot in the back, near the shoulder blade,
the bullet passing through her body and
shattering two ribs. The pleural cavity of
the light lung was found to have been badly
lacerated, and Mrs. Joyce owes the only
possible chance for her life to hex ability
to discharge the blood that flows from the
wound ouIwardly instead of inwardly, as
1t is feared will prove to be the case.
The story as to how the shooting, which
was purely accidental occurred, is as fol-
lows: A man named Henry Sylvester, step
father Of Mrs. Joyce's husband, was en-
gagged in cleaning 44-caliber rifle inside
the house, and not knowing that it was
loaded, accidentally discharged it. The
bullet passed through an inch partition,
through an adjoining room and through
door leading utside, passed through Mrs.
Joyces body, struck post and fell to the
ground.
