evidently attempted suicide, his intention
being to sever the jugular vein.
When taken to the Receiving Hospital
he gave his name as James Gill and his
place of residence 3c06 Steiner street. His
wounds were dressed by Doctors We'll and
Bunnell.
Although it was obvious that the old
man had attempted suicide from illness
and dependency he persisted in his state
ment that another man had done the
cutting and then placed the knife in his
left hand, leaving him to die.

The prison is now more free from petty
disorders than for long time past. The
recent transfer of disorderly convicts to
the rock quarries at Folsom prison has
had a beneficial effect upon those left be-

they enter the prison. in addition to the
usual punishment of solitary confin ement

the loss OF their mustaches they also for-

In discussing case where credits were
forfeited by prisoner, the Warden said
that as the holidays approach extra care

Joseph Hamel, aged So com mitted suicide
at his residence. 1922 Eighteenth street,
Friday night. Judge Seawell recently de-
cided a suit adversely to Hamel, and it is
undoubtedly this fact which caused his
dependency.
The suit disclosed a romantic story.
For years Hamel and Miss Margaret
Buckmaster had lived together. On her
death she left all her property by deed of
gift to Hamel. Her brother, John Buck.
master, sought to have the deed annulled.
According to the plaintiff Hamel had
used articles of all kinds, including drugs
calculated to affect the mind, to mold
Miss Buckmaster to his will in the dis
position of her property. This Hamel
denied. The case was in charge of At
torney Nowlin, the amount involved being
about $4,000.

Judge Seawell evidently did not con-

By the terms of the agreement under
which Miss Buckmaster and Hamel dwelt
under the same roof. each was to beQueath

was possessed at the time of death and
the survivor was to pay all funeral ex.
penses. Hamel lived up to the latter por-
ton of the agreement as Miss Buckmaster
had to the former.
He paid the funeral expenses OF his
friend and caused a monument to be
erected over her grave. The decision of
Judge Seawall gave him little hope of re-
i'm burse ment and his title to the house in
which he lived was destroyed. He had q
little other property, house and lot on
Mission street, but not of sufficient value
to keep him in comfortable circumstances
He was alone and he could see but one

The means by which he ended his life

forth the details of his troubles, to his

J. j. Luchsinger, Republican State
Senator-elect from Solano County. came
down from Vallejo last evening on a
business trip. incidentally he spoke of
the work that was in hand for the next
Legislature.
He reports that the sentiment of the
people OF the interior is in favor of a more
economical administration of the State
and county governments, and their repre-
sentatives in the Senate and the Assem-
bly, will be asked to introduce bills or
amendments for the purpose of bringing
about that desirable con dition of affairs
The agriculturists Of California are not
the only ones who have suffered by the
stress OF falling prices during the past
year. The storekeepers, mechanics and
artisans in the interior have suffered
equally with them, and as their incomes,
precar1ous at best, have been scaled down,
they think it no more than right that
State and county officers should be scaled
down also and that taxes should be de-
creased In every possible way.
The next thing in Importance before the
coming session will be the adoption of
new primary election law. The wrang.
lngs, the ballot-box stufing and other
disgraceful episodes of primary elections
must be done away with. 1t is proposed
to have all parties hold their primaries on
the same day and in the same booths
and all the names of the delegates or can
dldates be voted for on one ballot, just as
at regular election.
Several Californian inventions of voting
machines will be examined by the men,
