SACRAMENTO, CAL, June s.-John G..
Rose, young man of Portuguese descent,
was arrested this afternoon on a charge of
perjury preferred by his very recent faith
er-in-law, A. L. da Rosa. For some time
past Rose has been making love" to
Phinie da Rosa, demoiselle of fourteen
summers, and this afternoon John ap-
peared before the Deputy County Clerk
and made application for marriage IL
cense. Unfortunately, he swore that the
girl was of age. Procuring the necessary
document, he hied to a Justice of the
Peace, in company with Miss Phinie, and
the bonds which no man is to put asunder
were woven.
John and his youthful bride returned
home, and received the congratulations of
all the elderly female members of the Por-
tuguese colony, and q grand celebration
was inaugurated; but in the midst OF the
feast the father-in-law put in an appear
ance with a myrmidon of the law, who
placed John under arrest.
The weeping bride attempted to cling to
her husband, but was torn from his en-
brace by her angry father, and incarcerated
in the house, while John occupies q cell in
the City Prison. The affair has created

was that of young woman IN very modest
attire, except that there were no sleeves to
her dress. AS regards the original OF the
picture, the witness said she understood
from Mr.. Parker that it was photograph
of Mrs. Barto.

not photograph of that lady, said Mr..
Burchard.

Mr.. Delmas.

marked as contestants exhibit B.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Delmas,
the witness was shown a letter which she
identified as being in her handwriting.
The letter was offered in evidence by Mr..
Delmas.
1t was written to Jane Pomeroy, and re-
ferred to the runaway accident and the
death of Mr.. Parker, who was referred to
as Pop" in the letter. The writer said
she did all she could for him in his ILL
ness. On further cross-examination the
witness testified:
"Mr. Parker always spoke OF his son
kindly. He sometimes remarked that he
did great wrong in letting his son go
away from him. He was affectionate to
his son, as far as was in his nature"

The vast throng who continue to daily
seek this number do so in quest of happi-
ness, with which they have not always
been blessed. Perhaps you, yourself, have
not. Possibly you have been foolish in
years and now suffer the evil effects of it.
While you may be afflicted with no acute
disease, yet you are conscious of the fact
that something is wrong with you. You feel
that you are nervous and irritable. You
feel that your thoughts and ideas are dull
and often become confused. You feelithat
your sleep is bad, unrefreshing and some
times disturbed by weakening dreams.
You feel that your energy and am bition
are gone. You feel that you are unfit for
study, business or the proper enjoyment
of either married or single life. You there

GOLD IN FRESNO STREETS

A Mining Claim at Once Staked Out

FRESNO, CAL, June S.-Gold was dis
covered in a street of Fresno to-day. A
force of laborers was digging hole for an
electric-light post at the corner of K and
Calaveras streets when the discovery was
made. The men were digging out hard
pan about six feet below the surface, and
threw the dirt upon the street. Foreman
A. D. Smith noticed that the earth looked
similar to gold dirt, he having formerly
been a miner in Colorado. He washed
three panfuls of it and secured "a cents
worth of the metal. There appeared to be
a streak of ore-besring earth through the
stratum of hardpan.
All the dirt which the workmen had
thrown up in the street was placed in
sacks end hauled away under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Smith. A mining claim was
also staked out on an adjoining lot, which

Haynes saw Roberts prowling around the

Haynes called several other young men

and Eugene Parrot ATTEMPTED to effect an
entrance through hall window. Roberts
went to the window and kicked Parrot on
the side of the head, but did not knock
him from the ladder. Louis Reizenstein,
who was standing on the ground, drew a
revolver and shot twice at Roberts, hitting
him in both shoulders. Parrott was
through the window by this time and sue
ceeded in overpowering Roberts, though
he fought desperately.
Roberts was taken to the City Jail,
where a physician extracted the bullets.

Discovered by His Sons After a
Search of Several
Days.
HIS REASON HAS DEPARTED,
Stares B1ankly at Kith and Xii
Without Clean That Betokens
Recognition.

STOCKTON, CAL, June sc. a. Camp
bell, formerly City Clerk of Stockton, who
has been missing from his home on San
Joaquin street since last Thursday, was
found this morning in demented condi-
tion in a boxcar of the Valley Railroad in
the western part of the city. On Thurs
day morning Campbell went as usual to
his office in Parkers alley, where he had
been conducting a collection agency, and
was there up to the noon hour. Then he
left to go home to luncheon, but was not
seen after that time by his family until
discovered to-day in the boxcar.
When he did not return for his evening
meal Campbells relatives began to worry
over his absence, and his sons started out
to look for him. On Friday the matter
was reported to the police, but on account
of Campbell's prominence they kept his
disappearance a secret. They made little
effort, however, to find him, and he was
discovered this morning only through the
efforts of his sons.
Since Campbell was defeated for office
last year he has been acting as accountant
for several concerns and conducting his
collection bureau. The latter business was
not remunerative, and it is believed that
his i'll luck so preyed upon his mind that
he became demented. He was seen walk
ing near the banks of Stockton Channel
on Friday night, and it was then feared
that he had plunged to death in the
waters. A young man named Tanning
saw Campbell wandering aimlessly about
in the western part of the city yesterday
and reported the fact this morning to the
missing mans sons. They at once started
to search for him and later discovered him
lying fat on his back in one of the unused
boxcars on the Valley road.
Campbell was staring vacantly at the
top of the car and did not recognize his
sons when they entered and asked him to
go home. They lifted him to his feet and
placed him in carriage, taking him direct
to his home. UP to the present he has
not recognized any of his family and
nothing can be learned as to his wander
ings since Thursday noon.
Campbell was elected City Clerk in 1886
and held the Office continuously until last
year, when he was defeated by J. NJ. Nc
Call, the Democratic candidate. He is a
member of the Odd Fellows, United Work
men and Knights of Pythias and has held
prominent offices in all of these orders.

Tales of Pirates Buried Loot Confirm ed
by an Old Sailor.
STOCKTON, CAL, June S.-Since the
expedition from this city on the schooner
Hayseed in search of some $50, ,000, 900 of
buried treasure that was supposed to be
hidden off the coast of Costa Rica on that
garden spot in the Pacific, the Isle of
Cocos, and the failure of the Hayseed's s
crew to locate the treasure, Jacob Simon,
the protector of the plan, and Captain
Geissler, his agent, have obtained from
the Costa Rican Government a concession
to farm the island for a long term of years,
and are now colonizing it and planting it
with coffee. These facts were related in
The CALL, and as a result letters have
been pouring in upon Simon from all
parts OF the country.
Several days ago he received an offer
from prominent Honolulu capitalist, who
proposed to send a colony to Cocos Island
to help raise coffee there and seek for the
buried treasure. As Simon and Geissier
have an iron-clad contract with the Costa
Rica Government, the proposals made by
the Honolulu merchant have not resulted
in anything.
Simon recently received another letter
from Oregon, in which the writer states
that in I948 he was a sailor before the mast
huQ ndQ as a COul pdlllOu Oh Iue NOJ age d
kanaka, who told him about the hidden
treasure the pirates are supposed to have
stolen and buried on the little isle.
His companion made him promise to
save enough money to go with him in
search of the treasure, but they became
separated after the voyage and the Ore
gonian forgot all about the story told him
by the Sandwich Islander until he read in
The CALL few weeks ago about the efforts
of Simon and Geissler to locate the mil
lions in Spanish doubloons. Then the
tales of his old shipmate required to him
and he wrote to Simon to tell him that he
had heard the very same facts of which
the Stocktonian and his partner are in pos
session.
The Stockton man intends to keep up
the search for the hidden money, and, al
though he is wealthy now, he hopes some
day to possess a portion of the loot of the
gold-laden ship bound for Spain.
