Opinion Handed Down in The Divorce
Case of Storke Against
S{orko

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 22.-Chief
Justice Beatty OF the Supreme Court as
sent TO the Los Angeles Office quite an
elaborate dissenting opinion in tae di-
vorce case OF c. A. Storke against Ida
Adds Storke. His dissent is from the
order denying rehearing, not because he
considers that the department opinion
decided incorrectly upon the propositions
submitted, but because he thinks the
Plaintiff is estoDped by his own acts 10
ask a reversal OF the order appealed from.
The defendant in this action was born
and brought up in this city. After gradu-
ating from the high school here she be-
gan writing Tor the press and acted as cor
respondent for number OF Eastern news
papers. She was of an adventurous
nature and made several trips into
Mexico, where she wrote many interest
ing letters respecting the manners and
customs OF the peon population. During
the lifetime of Ex-Governor Doyney she
astonished every body here by bringing a
suit for breach OF promise, asking dam
ages in the sum OF $50, 600. Tie case was
compromised out of court and finally
dismissed, but it is said that the fair
Plaintiff realiz d handsomely by her suit
She then went to Santa Barbara, where
after few weeks acquaintance she was
married to Charles Albert Storke, lawyer,
Democratic politician and eX-member of
the California Assembly. After a few
weeks of welded bliss' the pair sep
arated and the husband instituted the

YUMA, ARIZONA, March 22.-To-mo Or
row over $4,000, 600 of capital will be repre-
sented by mining capitalists at the great
gold discoveries just made 35 miles from
Tacna station. Colonel Charles d. Lane left
for that locality yesterday, as did D. O..

PRINT Of A SHOE
IN SOLID STONE
Strange Discovery in the
Elysian Park at Los
Angeles.
Contour of Antique Footgear of
Mexican Style Plainly
Outlined.
The Peculiar Indentatiou F0uGd IL
Rock Covered by Four Feet
of Earth.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March o.
Scientifically inclined persons in Southern
California are rendering deeply over the
discovery, in Elysian Park here, of dis
tinct imprint in solid stone of a shoe
worn by human being. This discovery
is certain to excite no little comment, for
there appears to be no authentic record of
a fossilized footprint of q human being of
ordinary size having been found hereto
fore. The peculiar feature of this find is
that the owner of the foot wore shoe OF
antique Mexican fashion, with high, mar
row heel and broad, fat sole. The i'm
print is perfectly clear, and looks as
though the owner had unwittlngly put his
right foot into soft mud but day or two
ago and left his mark, to be dried by the
sun and preserved ior future generations.
The fossil imprint was discovered by
laborers who are making deep cut for
the new wagon road northwest of the
park. 1t was cut out of solid rock, four
feet or thereabouts below the surface soil
and from a point on the hillside al least
seventy feet above the bottom of the little
canyon at the hills base. The stone is
tine-gralaed shale. impregnated with
lime.
An interesting fac: in connection with
the find is this: Several other exceilently
preserved and clearly delineated organic
remains, such as ferns, leaves and twigs,
have been found in the same deposit;
and, stranger stlil, but few days ago the
complete outline of fish was taken from
the same stratum OF stone not many feet
distant from this last find. The tsh's re-
mains were twenty feet below the surface.

VISALIA, CAL, March 22.-Great Joy
was felt by the people of this city to-day
when the following telegram from San
Francisco was re eceived by Ben M. Mad
dox, editor of the Times:
The contract for cons truction of Valley Rail-
road from Fresno to Visalia is signed. Large
force OF men commences work to-day. Con-
tract calls for fun completion of road prior to
August i. Shake. W. II. HAMMOND.
The general circulation of this news in
this vicinity made the people feel happy.
The masses realize that emancipation
from Southern Pacific tyranny is now a
fact and their fondest hopes almost re-
alized- For months the people of this
section have been anxiously speculating
on the results of plans now under way,
feeling sure that the road would be con-
structed on 10 Visalia, yet wondering
when the work would begin. Now that the
element of speculation is wholly removed,
there is feeling of confidence in future
prosperity such as has seldom been felt in
this community.
For many years Visalians have patiently
carried the Southern Pacific yoke, but
they now feel the coming of freedom.

MEDF0R0 MURDER MYSTERY.
Son of San Jose Couple Arrested for
the Alleged Killing of a
1r1DDer

MEDFORD. Or, March %. = The
Coroner 8 inquest over the body of Gustav
A. Hall, the trapper found dead near his
cabin at Elk Creek, has resulted in the
arrest OF Lee Parsons, a young man living
that locality. on the charge OF murder.
Parsons is about 20 years old, and lived
with bis uncle few miles from the scene
of the shooting. He had visited Hall the
day the latter was supposed to have been
shot, and had taken dinner with hun.
1t is supposed-and the supposition is
supported by circumstantial evidence
that after eating dinner the two started
out to set some traps, as Hall had num-
ber of traps By him when found.
Two tracks were found, as though the
men had walked side by side until near
the scene of the shooting. There the
tracks indicated that Hall had gone
ahead about fifty feet, when he was shot
in the back OF the head. One track was
then traced back to the cabin and thence
to the Lewis farm. The boots that Par
sons claimed to have worn that day fit
these tracks.
Parsons is we'll known here. His parents
lived in this city for a mum Der of years,
bul moved TO San Jose, CAL, three years
ago, leaving him here with his uncle. No
cause other than robbery can be ascribed
for the shootlns, and it is claimed Parsons
knew that there was money in Hall S
cabin. A thorough search failed to dis
close anything of value IN the cabin, but
it was plain that the place had been en-
tered and ritied after the shooting

citing affray took place on the streets Of

door and knocked rather roughly. This
was repeated and Nickles went TO the door.

Trial of Santiago Socias'
Slayer Begun at San
Diego.
Must Answer for the Killing OF
a Subject Of the Diaz
Government.
Shot an Outlaw Who Rests ted Arrest
at the Hands # the Accused
Mans Brother.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March 22.-The trial
of the case of the People VS.. Sam A.
Thing, charged with the murder of Santi-
ago Socias, began this morning. It gives
promise of lasting for several days. The
case presents several novel features, and
has given rise TO much diplomatic corre-
spondence between the United States and
Mexican State departments.
Socias was a native of Mexico. Three
or four years ago, it is said, he murdered
man Ia Orange County. escaping into
Mexico before the officers could locate
him.
In March, 1896, the Sheriff of Orange
County learned that Socias had been seen
in San Diego County. He advised Sheriff
Jennings of this city of tais fact and
asked his cooperation in capturing the
Mexican. who was fugitive from justice
with a price OF $500 on his head. Jen-
nings then sent word and authority to
Deputy Sheriff Frank Thing at Potrero,
who had told him of the Mexican's pres
ence there, telling Thing to arrest him.
Thing knew Socias well, as the latter
had been in the vicinity for some time.
On April 16. Thing and his brother. Sam
Thing, boy of II years, went over
TO Tecate, a few hundred yards from the
Mexican line, and found Socias in a black
smith-shop, with his horse tied outside.
Frank Thing went inside, first handing
his revolver TO his brother. He ordered
Socias to surrender and asked him il he
had any weapons about him.
1t seems that Soclas made some motion
which frightened Sam Thing, for as Socias
started to run out the boy drew his re-
volver and shot twice, bringing Socias down
just as he was trying to mount his horse.
Socias died few minutes later.
A preliminary examination was held
shortly afterward. the evidence tending to
show that Sam Thing feared for his broth
er's safety and fired the fatal shot. The
District Attorney, believing t to be case
of justihable homicide, dismissed the ac-
ton.
In the meantime influential friends OF
the dead man were at work, and shortly
afterward the killing was brought to the
attention OF NJ. Romero, Mexican Minis
ter at Washington, who caused such stir
over the affair that Secretary OIney was
compelled to still further investigate, with
the result that all diplomatic correspond-
ence, covering several hundred pages, was
turned over to Governor Budd, with in
structions to him to prosecute the case.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA. March 22.-The VIC
tories in this city OF the Christian Social
lists in the elections for members
of the Reichsrath have made them I'M
patient to defeat in any direction, and
to-day they gave a very pronounced dis
approval of the election of Radical in
the second ward of Vienna. The
Christian Socialists, which party contains
all the Jew baiters under the leadership of
the notorious DIR. Leueger, were indig-
nant when they learned of the defeat of
their candidate, and to give vent to their
ill-feeling a large crowd, composed princi-
pally of antl-Semites, made an attack upon
stores kept by Jews in the district.
They smashed windows and assaulted
several OF the shopkeepers. three of whom
were seriously injured. The crowd had
things all their own way for time, but
the police suddenly swooped down upon
them and arresting fifty of the more de-
monstrarive of the rioters dispersed the

HiLLHURS7'S MYSTERY.
Body of an Apparently WeH-to- Do Man
Found in Grove Near
the Town.

TACOMA, WASH, March 22--Mystery
surrounds the finding this morning of the
body of an unknown man in the woods
near Hillhurst. twenty miles southwest
of this city.
1t is that of man 25 or 80 years old
and had evidently lain there since Aprii.
as in the pocket was found cheek for a
valise which arrived at the Northern
Pacific station from Seattle April 22.
The skull had become separated and
was near the feet. The man wore good
clothes, ana in the valise were found lead
pencils seeve-protectors and other arti-
cles indicating that he had been book
keeper or accountant
The best ciews to his identity are the
initials 30. t. F." on underwear in the
vaiise, ticket on Mexican railroad,
which had been punched at Ell Paso, and
the name, "A. Garland, Howell, Mich,
on the collar of the coat, indicating that it
had been purchased there.
There are also four photographs, one of
three children, one of three ladies. the
third OF a man about thirty years old,
with padour hair and dark mustache,
and the fourth tntype OF the same three
ladies and the same man. On the tintype
was written opposite the women "Au-
gnsta, Miss Alice, Eda." On three of the
photographs the photographers name
was erased, but underneath one can be
traced .St Louis"
In memorandum book found in the
vest pocket was written III ink. in neat
hand, the following words: Nearer to
natures heart at this my grave, April 2S,
1885,
Geseman & Heiny and julius Gross &
Co. are the names OF the st. Louis photog-
raphers. The photograph of the children
shows two girls wearing long curls and a
two-year-old boy. The women were evi-
dently sisters of the suicide.
