Angeles, Chairman of the Committee of
Arrangements for the State Super

The annual meeting of the State
Supervisors Convention will be held in

LATE J. B. RIGDON.
A Sketch of the Life of Him Who
Died Here Recently.

Mrs. Mary McCarty- Charlton, niece
of j. B. Rigdon, who died suddenly IN
this city last December, While promot-
ing the organization of the Labor Tx
change, writes as follows to the Rec
ord Union" concerning him from her
home in Salem, Or:
owing to circumstances surround
ing the sickness and death of j. B. Rig
don, notice of which appeared in your
paper on December 81, 1896, l send
you the following brief account of his
life, which will doubtless be of interest
to some of your readers, especially
Grand Army men, Good Templars and
members of the Christian Church.
In behalf of his two brothers and
four sisters and friends and comrades,
whose names are legion, | desire to
thank all those who ministered to him
in any way, and I pray Gods blessing
on you for your kindness unto the
stranger within your gates, for mas
much as ye have done it unto the least
Of these, ye have done it unto me-
John B. Rigdon was born in Fulton
County, ILL.,, April 81, 1893. He was the
son of Elder John Rigdon, for many
years we'll known as minister in the
Christian Church. He crossed the plains
with his parents in 1852 and settled in
Oregon, where he made his home for
many years. He was married to Mary
F. Matheny, November 10, 1868, and
she died in 1869. In the spring of
1861 he enlisted in the Home Guards
Company E, Oregon Infantry, and in
1860, wishing to be in active service for
his country, he enlisted in Company H,
which was ordered to Eastern Oregon
to assist in quieting the Indians.
He was never known by his family
to take a drink of liquor, and from the
time Of its first organization in Lane
of the Good Templars. For many years
he travelled as regular lecturer and or
ganizer for that order
After taking up his residence in CAL
ifornia he edited the San Luis Obispo
Standard" a paper wholly devoted to
temperance, and it was in California
he met Mrs. Amanda Patchett, to
whom, in 1884, he was married, and
who, with a son and a daughter, sur
viye him.
He was a faithful and consistent
member of the Christian Church, and
conscientious prohibition Christian and
a loyal citizen.
Much more could I say that would
be of interest, but space will not per-
nit

Y. M. C. A. RECEPTION.
To be Given by the Women's Auxiliary
on Friday Evening.

The Woman's Auxiliary of the Young
Mems Christian Association have at
great trouble and expense secured a
visit from his distinguished parsonage,
King Jack Frost. They have succeeded
so we'll that the White King has sIsped
a treaty of peace with the peopN Of
the Sacramento Valley, and will pay a
friendly visit on Friday evening, the
9th. While King Jacks nature is cold,
he will on this occasion endeavor to
thaw out sufficiently to shake hands
with warm-hearted people.
The ladies have taken the precau-
tion to have the surroundings in har-
mony with the occasion, and artificial
means have been resorted to in order
to keep Mr.. Frost from fainting dur
ing his arduous task of shaking hands.
There will be a beautiful and harmless
nngling of the SHOWS of the Sierras
and the flowers of the valley, while the
sounds of the avalanche will be inter
rupted by the quiet murmur of the
great river. The ladies have received
some frozen delicacies from the north
with a special escort from the Ice King,
and have provided delicate morsels for
the occasion.

MRS. MURRAY DISMISSED.
The Court Warns Her to Beware of 9
Second Appearance.

Carrie Murray's case was called in
the Police Court yesterday and Acting
City Attorney Miller said that he
thought although there had been
disturbance of the peace, the
ends of justice would be subserved by
giving her an admoniton. He did not
feel like Furnishing her, as she was an
old woman.
W. A. Anderson her attorney, said
that If such a course were pursued he
would make no more trouble. There
had been a great deal of talk about
Senators and Assemblymen being sub
penaed, but Mrs. Murray had subpe-
naed none of them and if they had been
summoned it was by the opposite side.
He could assure the court that if the
case were dismissed there would be no
further trouble made by Mrs. Murray
The court said there was evidently
much behind the matter that did not
appear and while he should dismiss the
case, if Mrs. Murray were brought into
court again he should punish her with
no alternative Notwithstanding the fact
that She was woman.

COYNE DISCHARGED.
Justice Davis Saves the County the
Expense of a Trial.

The case of B. Coyne, charged with
assault with deadly weapon on James
Kenney, was called in the Police Court
yesterday morning.
Kenney said that when going home on
the night of the 10Th, while passing the
alley between K and L, Fourth and
Fifth Coyne stepped out of the alley and
saying I've got you, you" struck
him on the head with cobble, knocking
him down, and struck him several times
While down. Witness called for help
and finally got away. Coyne had at
tackled him several times before and
when he called out that Coyne would
kill him. the latter said he would. Coyne
had told several people that he would
do" witness if he had to go to the pen
itentiary for it.
Dr. Tyrrell testified that Kenney's
head was cut, as we'll as his hand and
his nose and eyes swollen and diScolored.
B. Nathan testified to separating the
men when Kenney called for help, and
when they We're separated Kenney got
up and walked away
statement by Howard Phillips was
read stating that he helped Nathan
IL
from around Kenney's neck. He saw
some dark instrument in Coyne's hand
Kenney got up and went home and they
followed in the same direction. Coyne
opened a knife as he came near Ken
ney's house, but when he saw there
would be no trouble, he put 1t in his
pocket.
Thomas Hanlon had heard Coyne say
he would do" Kenney, and warned the
latter to look out for him.
Thomas Marston had been told by
Coyne that he would do up Kenney, if
it took him two years. He warned
Kenney of it.
Coyne testified in his own defense
that he and Kenney had had trouble
before. He was going home to his roof
and was not in the alley Kenney met
him and put up his fists, saying, Come
on you -- and We'll have it out"
Witness had no stone or knife. He
struck Kenney and they fought. He
did not have a knife in his hand and
did not open one before he went into
his house.
The court said there was bad feeling
between the parties and it appeared to
him that they met accidentally. He
did not think there was any clandestine
assault The evidence does not show
that any deadly weapon had been used.
The scalp wound might have been made
by fall. He did not think a jury
would convict the defendant on the evil
dence and would not think it proper to
hold him and put the county to the ex
pense of trial. The City Attorney had
sufficient evidence before him to issue
complaint on, but it was doubtful if the
jury would find defendants guilt beyond
a reasonable doubt and he would there
fore be DISCHARGED

THE TALE OF A POCKETBOOK.
Alleged to be Of a Sensational Char
aCter.
Charges Based Upon Its Contents
Denied by Those Impli-
Gated.

There is a story abroad that dwarfs
Into insignifcance the lurid melodrama
of THE Red Pocketbook" in which old
Joe Proctor used to cut such an i'm
portant figure at the Metropolitan The
ater a quarter of a century ago.
For week past there had been ru-
mors about the city that the Bee"
had in its possession pocketbook that
had been lost by one c. ]. Won Arnold,
and which contained memoranda of an
alleged combine that included major
ity of the City Trustees, who were to
do many things of dishonest character,
for which they were to be well paid.
Detectives have been flying about the
city for several days, and it was whis-
pered that they were engaged in work
ing up the details of the alleged Doodle
combine.
Last evening the Bee" launched it's
thunderbolt in the shape of eleven and
one-half columns of matter, largely
made up of interviews with City Trus-
tees, the Mayor, Chief of Police, etc, in
which each declares he was not in on
any such proposed deal
interviewer in the somewhat confused
mass of matter reference is made to
newspaper scheme in which Won Arm
old, j. A. Sheehan, Trustee Leonard and
others We're to be interested, and which
was to be conducted in the interest of
gaming and other Illegal schemes from
which the combine We're to receive large
sums of hush money.
Won Arnold is a Chicagoan who
came here to spend the winter (and in
70 h1a ooinl has
been making his money--hy while here,
and says he has plenty of it in Chicago
1t is said that he has taken a fancy to
Sacramento and intends investing lot
of capital here, part of it in news
paper and part in a big concert hall.
The International Hotel property, it is
said, has been secured for the purpose.
Just what the lost pocketboOk con-
tains, no one but its owner or those in
whose possession it now is, can know
Won Arnold says that if it contains any
thing of nature that reflects on any
one the discriminating matter was writ
ten in it since it left his hands.
The Bee refuses to give up the book,
and it's report is based on what it alleges
to be contained in its pages. The deduc-
ton it draws therefrom include black
mailing on a grand scale by officials, the
control Of city politics, unrestricted
gaming, and all sorts of corrupt things.
On the other hand the persons impli-
Gated fatty deny any knowledge of any
such combine or that they are in any
way concerned in Won Arnold's alleged
schemes.
1t is not likely, however, that the mat
will end with the cha that have
been made, and the prospect is that
there will be a ventilation of some sort
in the courts.
