WILSON MUST PAY.

Ex-Insurance Commissioner Responsi-
bic for Money Lost by Bank.
The Supreme Court yesterday decided
that ]. n. E. Wilson, the attorney and ex-
Insurance Commissioner, must return to
the State the sum of $2300 collected by
him in June, 1891 He served as Com
missioner from April l, 1890, to April 1,
1894. AS part of his duties he had 10
collect from insurance agents and corpor-
ations fees and assessments, and under
the law he was required to pay monthly
into the State treasury whatsoeyer
amounts may be received and collected by
him."
1t was Mr.. Wilson's custom to make re-
mittance of his official collections to the
State Treasurer once a month, but at in
termediate times he deposited the same in
the Pacific Bank. He had $1,000 on de-
posit there when the bank failed. This
action was brought on behalf of the State
by Controller Colgan for the recovery of
the money. Wilson's defense was that he
deposited the money in the Pacific Bank
as State official, and not as private de-
posltor. The lower court gave judgment
for the State, holding that the Commits
sioner deposited the public's money in the
bank IN contravention to the spirit of the
law, and is therefore personally liable for
the same. Supreme Court Com missioner
Britt upheld the judgment and Justices

Handles Sold in the CIty's

STOCKTON, CAL, June 14.-There is a
ChInamsI on Roberts Island who is al
flicted with leprosy. What makes the case
all the more alarming is the fact that he is
engaged in the raising of vegetab bles, which
he sends to town and puts on the market,
where they are sold in general retail trade
Or course, the vegetable are just as pala-
table as any others, but if the people who
are eating them should realize that they
were prepared for marketing by Celes-
tial from one of whose hands all the i'm
gers have teen eaten by the dread disease
they would probably not relish them.
II is said TO be a fact that the Chinaman
has lost all the digits of one of his hands.
He is said TO have been afflicted with the
malady for some time, but he continues
to raise garden produce and send it to
market.
The gentleman who reported the case
last Saturday asked friend TO whom he
told it TO report it 10 the County Health
Officer. 1t was brought 10 the attention
of Health Officer Harkness to-day. The
physician was surprised to learn of the
presence of the disease in this county and
said that he would investigate at once.
The Chinamsn realizes his predicament,
and whenever any one whom he does n OF
know approaches mis- place be at once
goes into hiding.

Charles Montgomery, who murdered a
man last winter ana got clear or a tech

years sentence at once and then turned
States evidence.
William Rector, another of the band,
was placed on trial. There had been a
number of conversations between Magone
and Montgomery. The latter smiled
when he said he would not mind going
in" if there was a show to get any money
out of it. Magone came up 10 his house
which Is bout two miles west of Oregon
City, and talked it over with the witness
Magone changed his mind several times
Then he told Montgomery he would hire
the job done by couple Of men and paw
them when he got $50 together. The
chief conspirator's excuse was that his
family was in great need, the times were
hard and he had to do something desper-
ate in order to live.

Magone, l supposed, had given it up. and
asked him Two or three times if he had

DIES At POMONA A
Passing of a Daughter
of AlCalde IgnaciO
AlVaradO.
Was Reared in Luxury, but
Reduced to Straitened
CirCumS stances.
Rule in the San Gabriel
Valley.

POMONA, CAL, June 1.-THE death
of Mrs. Legardo a. de Palomares oc-
Cured to-day after brief illness. Every
one in Pomona Valley mourns her demise
She lived all her life in this locality, and
was the pioneer resident of Pomona VAL
ley. No Mexican woman in Southern
California was better known than she, ana
she leaves over $50 relatives. scattered
throughout every county in California be.
tween San Diego and San Francisco. Over
thirty OF them live in San Francisco and
Sacramento.
Mrs. Palomares was born in 1926 in San
Gabriel Valley. Her father was Don
Ignacio Alvarado, who was one of the
last Spanish alcaldes in Southern Califor7
mia. He was cousin of Governor Pho Pico
and when Franciscan missions were dis
esta blished bv orders from Government at
the City of Mexico in 1880 Don Alvarado
was granted over 10000 acres of ranch
land. No family lived more Iuxuriantly
than his. Often his sales Of hides and
tallow to Yankee traders at the ships on
the coast brought returns of $40. 900 in one
year. His family spent every cent of il,
and more too. A crock OF gold du blooms
always stood ready for use by any of the
Alvarado household. Mrs. Palomares re-
mem bered times when several thousand
dollars were spent in entertainment OF
guests at her fathers home in one week.
But finally mortgages got heavy and
numerous, and the Alvarado family was
reduced to poverty. Mrs. Palomares mar
ried Francisco Palomares in 1850. He also
was rich from large Mexican land grants.
He was leading Democratic politician IN
Los Angeles County for some years, and
was famous for his hospitality He
helped General Albert Sidney johnston
get from Los Angeles to Texas in 1861 TO
assume his command in the Confederate
army.
Francisco Palomares became involved
In mortgages and twenty years ago he
parted with the great San Jose ranch for a
few thousand dollars. To-day the city OF
Pomona is located there with its business
blocks, residences and orange groves.
Now it is worth nearly $500, 900. Mrs.
Palomares has had to exercise constant
economy for years. She was the nst rep
resentatlVe Of the Spanish reign in this
locality.

PHOENIX, ARIz., June 14-Blanche,
the 15-year-old daughter of ]. K. Burnett,
had marvellous escape from death to-
day. While in her fathers stable feeding
a horse pan of corn, noise startled the
animal. He reared up, struck the girl
with his forefeet, knocking her to the
ground, and then viciously paved and
trampled on her, tearing the child's flesh
and infiicting many painful wounds. The
father appeared on the scene in time 10
quiet the horse before mis- child was
mangled 10 death. A physician found
mat although the flesh was either torn or
bruised all over the entire body, no bon es
were broken. She remained unconscious
for some time, but the doctor expects her
to recover in few weeks
