Except in Scattered
Hec}fo1c

SANTA ROSA, CAL, June 20-It began
raining here yesterday morning, and light
showers fell most of the Gay. About mid
night a good, old-fashioned downpour
set in and lasted until this morning. The
weather did not finally clear until 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Some farmers are grooming over their
many ions of down hay, while others with
their fodder in the barn are smiling to see
the corn and pumpkins revive and take
fresh start in life. 1t is thought that the
damage to hay will be more than offset by
the benefits TO other crops.
CLGNERDALE, CAL, June 20.-A June
rain Is almost unknown in this section,
but rain has been falling, with only Jew
short intermissions. since Friday after
noon, the precipitation amounting to
over an inch for the storm. Stock-raisers
and wool-growers do not like it. as it
spolls the dry grass as feed. The hay
crop will not suffer much, as it is about
all gathered.
Corn, grapes and the later fruits will be
greatly benefited by this rain. Oranges
and lemons, which have suffered greatly
from the heavy north winds OF the past
few months, causing the young fruit to
drop, will be especially benefited. a
strong south wind and heavy clouds give
indications of more rain.
STOCKTON, CAL, June 20.-Rain fell
in this locality last night, but did not do
any great damage. Much hay has been
out, but the rain was SO gentle and the
fall so slight that it was not injured.
Fruit was not affected to any extent,
the grapes being well developed. The
! crop of this locality will be very fair this
year.

lily for the past two daYs, has done con.
siderable damagein this section. running
large quantity of hay and damaging feed

Rare Gems.
Residence in Which the Ply
siCian Died Is Searched
in Vain.
Two Women Now Claim That He
Would Have Wed Them
Had He Lived.

SAUSALITO, CAL, June 20.-Though
all that is mortal of DIR. Richard T. Free
man was laid in the grave yesterday at
Mount Tamalpais Cemetery, the scramble
for his diamonds and property continues.
Claims have been made by two women
that the doctor sought their hands in mar
riage; that he was engaged to them and
would have taken them for batter or for
worse had providence spared him. These
women are residents of Sausalito. One is
Miss Jennie Lyons Lee, q niece of Mrs. A.
ID. Bell, in whose home DR.. Freeman
breathed his last. The other is Mrs
George Tyrell, the relict of DR.. Tyrell.
To-day she informed Coroner Eden that
she was engaged to Freeman and was 10
have married him.
Chief Wharfnger Root OF San Francisco
lays claim to the missing diamonds and
bas been attempting to locate them.
1t is now reported that DR.. Freeman's
sister is no longer alive and that he has
no living relatives to lay claim to his pos
sessions. Besides his iewelry, money and
effects in this country, he was the pos
SCISSOR OF property in South Africa, upon
which it is impossible to place q valua-
ton.
Coroner E. Eden and District Attorney
Il. Is. Martlnelll came TO SauSallto again
yesterday 10 seek for the missing dia-
monds. A search warrant was sworn out
before Justice of the Peace J. S. Bellrude
by Deputy Marshal J. SusaviIla. and the
deputy, together with the District Attor-
ney and the Coroner went TO the nome of
Mrs. A. d. Bell. The house was searched
from top TO bottom, but no diamonds
were located. A gold watchchan and a
mum Der of other articles of less value, but
owned by DR.. freeman, were found and
taken into custody. On Friday Mrs. Bell
delivered one diamond. q couple of bank
books and some other articles over to the
officials and said that was all she had of
the doctors property, yet the search yes
terday brought 10 light other articles.
The mystery of the disappearance of
the costly gems that during the lifetime
of the physician shone so brilliantly upon
his person is becoming more dark every
day. Nor has will been found as yet, al
though different parties claim that he left
such an instrument.
Sheriff Harrison said this afternoon
that two men had taken the doctor to the
home of Mrs. Bell just before his sick
ness, and that they would state positively
that the physician did not have the d ia
monds displayed on that day. The men
are Mancebo and Beady of Sausalito.
Coroner Eden will apply 10 the Superior
Court tomorrow for letters of admins
tration upon the doctors estate.

a NetO shaft for the Great Alaska Gold
Mine.

TACOMA. WASH, June 2o.-Tmprove-
ments on the great Treadwell gold mine
on Douglas Island. Alaska, are being
made which viii double in size the al
ready extensive plant and will eventually
double the output. For months past ther
has been in process of construction a shaft
6xS feet, located 100 feet distant from the
hoist used now. 1t will be widened out to
Sx12 feet and sunk 1000 feet. The hoist
ing machinery which is now on the dock
will be used temporarily. When the shaft
is down 1000 feet other and larger hoisting
engines will be installed.
A great deal depends upon the sinking
of this shalt. If it proves 10 be in ore for
that depth the Treadwell mine doubles
itself at once. There are reserves of ore
in sight now to run for many years with
out further discoveries, but this new shaft
will afford the means to explore entirely
new ground and demonstrate the perma-
nency of the quartz bodies on the island
at great depth. In this way it is of great

A large proportion of the vote cast for

self Against the AssassIn's
Attack.

MERGED, CAL June 20. From the evil
dence now obtainable it appears that the
killing of the vegetable peddler De Ange-
les by his brother-in-law, w. d. Elkins,
near Livingston. on Friday night was a
cold-blooded murder. 1t was the sequel
to family quarrel over property interests.
Mrs. de Angeles and Mrs. EIkins are
sisters, whose maiden name was Stone
Upon the death of their father the family
was left in comfortable circumstances.
Their mother, who has since married l..
Gillham, was appointed their guardian,
and the case has been in the courts for
some time. Upon arriving at legal age the
elder sister married De Angeles and ap-
piled for an accounting of the guardian
ship. Since then there has been trouble
in the family.
De Angeles and Elkins had a dispute
on Friday over some matter, which evil
IDENTIFY so enranged Elkins that his tenn
per did not cool down during the day.
He lay in wait for De Angeles as the lat
ter was returning home in the evening
after being out with his wagon peddling
fruit and vegetables oil day. When De
Angeles came by at about o'clock Elkins
shot him dead.
Gillham, the stepfather OF the wives of
the principals, witnessed the crime. FL
kins was awaiting his victim in swale
near his residence. When De Angeles
came along in his wagon he opened fire
upon him, hitting him three times in the
body. One bullet, evidently the first one,
took effect in the right groin and ranged
upward. Tie victim fell forward and out
OF the wagon, and the other two shots
were fired either while he was falling or
after he had reached the ground, for they
ranged downward. One which struck in
the center of the breast. went on through
the heart and left lung; this other, strik-
ing the right breast, ranged in the same
direction. The head of the dead man was
battered, three large holes being found in
the skull, all three cornered. Whether
they were made with the revolver or some
other instrument is not known. These
blows were evidently struck after De An
geles had fallen from the wagon.
Elklns' hands were bruised and he car.
ries scar on his forehead, the cause of
which has not yet been ascertained, but
they could not have been received in a
struggle, for the vegetable peddler was in
all probab blity dead by the time he struck
the ground.
The revolver that Elkins used he deliv-
cred up TO the Constable, minus the barrel.
which had been broken off. The handle
was bloody and the trigger guards show
marks that must have been made by strik-
ing against some metallic su ubstance. The
barrel was afterward found at the scene
of the murder. The body was left where
the killing occurred, and when the Coro-
ner and officers arrived De Angeles was
found lying on his back between the front
and rear wheels of his wagon, with his
head and shoulders projecting from under
the right side of the vehicle.
The body was brought in last night and
jury was impaneled. The jury viewed
the remains but was excused until to-
morrow, when the testimony will be
heard.

Other Crimes.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, June 20.-John Nc

rived to-day from Ensenada on the steamer

and Immediately went to the Office of
Governor Sanguines, to whom he showed
his papers and told his story.

and the two offered 10 start out on the
hunt for the bandits.
SepulVedR was believed to be with
Morales who was known TO have friends
in the Real del Castillo country, thirty
miles north of Ensenada.
Governor Sanguines promptly DIS
patched his chief of police with a squad
of rurales to the scene, where it was be-
lieved that the bandits were in hiding.

pursuit and escaped, but Sepulveda was
captured just as he was mounting his
horse to ride away.
He surrendered without showing fight
and Friday night was lodged in the jail at
Ensenada.
Sepulveda was born in California, but
he claims to be a Mexican citizen, and the
Governor will not let him be taken in 10
