THAT VOLCANO
Mount Tauquitch may have been
smoking yesterday, but it seems quiet
enough today. Inquiry at 2:3O p. m.
elicited the information that nothing
could be seen about the summit at that
time, and it is now believed that the
high wind from the desert, which pre-.
vailed yesterday, took up the snow
from the mountains, and made 1t sp-
pear like a cloud of smoke.
The trainmen from San Jacinto re-
port that the phenomenon was etill
visible when the sun set last night, but
that the wind died out during the
night, aud that nothing unusual could
be seen this morning.
One miner who came into San Ja-
cinto last night from his claim at the
foot of Tauquitch had seen what he
supposed was smoke from the noun
tain, and had fed to the valley.

HE PREFERRED PRISON.
Young CoIorcd Mans Desperate Eek
pcdfent to Avoid Marriage.

The case of Peter Henderson the
pocketbook from a lady on Crew street
and who was bound over TO the supe-
rior court by Judge Foute, has proved
TO be N of the most peculiar cases
ever heard of.
1t seems that Henderson committed
the deed for the purpose of getting
arrested, in order that ne might not
have to marry. He had been engaged
TO q young girl of his acquaintance for
some time, but on further considera-
ton of the matter decided that it
would be better for him to lead a sim
gle life. When he went TO get a license
he came back to his bride without the
coveted article, and said that lie had
been told it would be ten days before
he could get one.
His faithful bride believed the story.
and arrangements were made for the
wedding 10 take place on the last day
Of the ten. When the ten days had
passed the bride dressed for the we'd
ding. and when the time for the bride
groom TO put in his appearance came
she waited long and patiently for him,
but that gentleman failed TO turn up.
When the young bride saw that her
would-be husband did not intend TO
marry her she made up her mind TO
have him arrested. When he heard of
this il seems that he decided it would
be better to be arrested on some other
charge. He told a friend to tell any
one who might ask for him that he
had been arrested. That same after
noon he walked down Crew street and
robbed a lady, committing n of the
boldest acts of the kind that ever took
place in this city. From all the facts
to he learned ii would seem that he
preferred to stay In Jail and be single
