BUNKO MEN At ANGELS CAMP.
Superintendent Routtedge Of the P1re
Quilt Mine DuDed.


STOCKTON, CAL. March 18.-The police
here have been notified by Harry Rout-
ledge, superintendent and part owner Of
of the Pure Quill mine, Angels Camp. that
an attempt was made to bunko him
and his partners out of the mine.
Two men, giving their names as A. W.
st. Clair and Frank Worsley, went to
Angels Camp short time ago and repre-
sented themselves as wealthy Englishmen.
They said they had just purchased mine
in Colorado for $40, 900, and offered to buy
the Pure Quill. The offer was accepted
and the papers drawn up. They came
here on Sunday to meet man who, they
said, would come from San Jose with
$4,000, the first installment of the pur-
chase price.
The two men borrowed money from
Routledge, who also paid their expenses
during their stay at Angels. In the night
the men decamped, taking the papers and
specimens of ore and without paying what
they had borrowed. II is thought that
they may attempt to alter the papers and
sell the mine on the strength of the speci.
mems, and so bunko some one else.

Sherry Odare Returned to Stand
Trial for Robbing His
Wife.
TOOK HER MONEY AND FLED.
Sensational Ending of Brief Honey.
moon-Redlands' Four Hundred
Shocked.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 1s.-Sherry
Odare, young Englishman who has
been cutting quite dash at Redlands and
other Southern California towns as a
scion of British nobility, was arrested this
afternoon on board train at Barstow, and
is now on the way back to this city to
answer to charge of grand larceny.
Odare recently married young woman
named Katie Moore, and the couple were
spending their honeymoon in this city.
Mrs. Odare had but short acquaintance
with her husband, but she trusted him so
implicitly that in burst of confidence she
told him last evening that she had $285
sewed up in skirt, and she intended to
put it into a bank to-day.
Odare seemed pleased to learn of this
evidence of thrift on the past of his better
half, whom he had regarded as DOVER
less bride and married solely for her good
looks and winning ways. He arose bright
and early this morning on pretext or
having important business to attend to.
When Mrs. Odare arose an hour or two
later she was astonished to find that her
skirt had been ripped open and the money
abstracted. The horrible suspicion flashed
through her brain that her husband had
robbed her and fed. She started an in
vestigation and her worst fears were con-
firmed when she learned that Odare had
purchased ticket for the East, via the
Santa Fe road.
Such was the tale of woe Mrs. Odare
related to the District Attorney this after
noon and that official issued a complaint
and the warrant was telegraphed to Bar
stow, where the train was intercepted and
the culprit taken off A Deputy Sheriff
left for Barstow this evening to bring the
prisoner back

WOODLAND, CAL, March 1s. - Joe
Maggiorini, an old Italian resident of this
community, committed suicide this morn
ing on the George Hoffman ranch, between

shooting himself through the head.

orini jumped up from the table and, with
out saying a word, went out, to an out
building and fired the fatal shot. Trouble
over financial matters is supposed to have
induced the crime. The suicide was 42

HER SON-IN-LAW n DEBTOR.
Property of an aged Invalid attached
bV Creditors.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, March 49,
An attachment was levied to-day upon
property belonging to Mrs. Eliza G. Ord
on complaint of w. A. Hobson, whole
sale butcher of Carpinteria, who alleges
that Mrs. Ord gave bonds in the sum of
$1,000 as security for the payment OF bills
contracted by r. N. Watson, her son-in-
law. Watson is doing retail butcher
business in Carpinteria and he now re-
fuses to pay debts aggregating over $4,000.
Mrs. Ord is an elderly lady and an invalid,
who in a fit of epilepsy last spring upset a
kerosene lamp and was badly burned. AS
this bond is dated subsequent to those in
juries payment will probably be infested
on the grounds that she was incompetent
to make such contract.

Work for Heus While Eating.

One Of the advantages of giving hens
a wide range is that they get greater
variety of food and have to eat more
slowly. They are also obliged to take
good deal OF exercise to secure what
they want. Both OF these advantages
can be secured to hens confined In
yards. In winter grain of different
kins, oats and wheat may be mixed
with cut straw, and the hens be allowed
to scratch for 1t in the hen house. In
spring and summer a small place should
be plowed, sown with grain and the
grain narrowed in. Here the hens
should be allowed to exercise them
selves until they get all the grain sown,
or so nearly so that scarcely a spear
appears above the surface. The insects
and worms which the hens will pick
up on this plowed piece of ground will
make a welcome addition and variety
in their diet. Hens so managed will
keep on laying until hot weather, when
the moulting season comes on, which
every hen must pass through once a
year. The earlier 1t is over the better
1t will be for the poulterers profits.

AS many trees are destroyed each
year through carelessness In trans
planting them. 1t Is In order to say a
few words on this subject. In the first
place all the bruised roots. as well as
those torn apart and left rough. should
be cut OFF, leaving a clean. straight
cut. If the roots have been exposed TO
the air their ends should also be cur.
as the fine points will be dried so that
they cannot take up the water which
they should. AS little time as possible
should elapse after the trees are taken
from the soil before they are set into 1t
again. Have the holes into which they
are to be placed dug Il little lower than
the trees are TO be set. The loose earth
should be thrown back again so that
the tree roots may he left with a few
inches Of loose soil under them as well
as above them. II takes two to proper

SO rs to allow FOR settling ms the soil
becomes more compact. The tree should
be watered by sprlnkling slowly n
whole pailful OF water for each tree.
1t should not be poured in, as it will
wash the soil and make vacant spaces
around the roots. After watering,
mulch the soil and cut back the top of
the tree to the few buds that are needed
to form Its first branches.

Although the egg plant is generally
considered difficult crop to raise, 1t is
on the contrary quite as easily grown
as the tomato II rightly managed; and
persons having surplus over and
above what Is required for their own
use will find the sale of the eggs quite
profitable. In most markets they bring
from cents to 20 cents apiece in n
small way. The seed should be sown
In fats about 10 inches square by 3 or
4 inches deep; fill the boxes nearly full
OF rich finely pulverized soil, sow one

IL is not best to plant too early In the

wide rircs and Low wheel-.

The farmer who has never used a
low-wheeied wagon cannot understand
how much more convenient they are
than n hlgh-wheeled wagon to husk
corn In. haul manure or hay. They are
right down by the side OF you, and not
up as high as your head. Everybody
knows how handy II is to load a sled;
II IL the same with low wagon. Some
contend that they pull heavier than
high wheels. but my experience is that
they pull just as easy with the same
kind OF load, even up hill; on very
rough ground the high wheels may be
best.
If wide tires were used our Iowa
roads would be improved by every We
hicle that went over them. We use a
four-lnch tire on one wagon, and In
hauling loads through the fields, In
stead OF cutting ruts In the soft places,
and leaving Jumps to pull over In hard
places, II makes q broad. smooth track.
If road has ruts 1t is like the rails
OF a street-car track. and team has
to walk just so to pull easy, or else
give an extra pull to get out, while a
wide tire runs on top and follows the
team easily and does not have any
ruts to keep IL exactly in the same
track. 1t makes a wider track in pro-
portion than narrow wheels.-Corre-
