been found true In some respects. Ths

is forward and downward. The railroad
builders who constructed their line along
the base found the tracks continually
forced out OF place. In some places the
movement has amounted to eight and

John C. Scribner, of San Andreas. He
died few years ago, says the New

and left the bulk of her property to
her "nieces and nephews" in ireland.
naming two men and two women.
The lawyer appointed to administer
on the estate wrote to the addresses
given, and learned that two Of the four
were dead, and the remaining two had
no knowledge Of an aunt in California
or any other place. An investigation
developed the fact that the supposed
Mrs. Hogan was really Mrs. Richard
Barnes, and that she had left her hus-
band and four children TO elope with
the young Irishman. She had kept the
skeleton in her closet hidden for nearly
so years, and even in death she tried to
protect the secret by referring to her
children as her nieces and nephews.
