Plays Havoc With the

ALL SMALL FRUITS DAMAGED

INJURY
The Rain General Throughout the
Northern Portion of the State.
Some Crops Benefited

Associated Press Special Wire.
HAYWARDS, June 20.--About quar-
ter of an inch of rain has fallen, but so
far no damage has been done to fruit
or grain. The black cherries have been
picked and nearly all the Royal Annes.
Grain cutting has been commenced and
hay baling is about under way. There
will be about half crop this year. The
late rain and cool weather is doing a
great deal of good to the common bar
ley and the quality of grain will be good.
Healdsburg-The rain has done a
great deal of damage in the Russian
river valley, running large quantity of
hay and the feed on stock ranges. The
damage to the berry crop is also heavy.
The cherry crop IS about all gathered.
so no loss is sustained by orchardists.
Santa Rosa-Rain continued to fall
heavily all last night. 1t has been show
cry today and it is feared that great
damage has been done to hay. cherries
and small fruits, but little warm sun
shine will improve the outlook.
Napa-Lighter rains have fallen in
this vicinity yesterday and today. Hay
and cherries are damaged considerably.
Modesto-The rains so far have had no
damaging effects upon fruit or grain
crops. Harvesting has been discontin-
ued on account of cereal stalks being too
tough and plia BILE to cut.
| Red Bluff-Farmers are commencing
to harvest and the rain is doing great
injury to hay and all dried fruit. Hay
is as yet little injured as the rain. while
being steady is not hard and is accom-
| panied by very little wind. There was
steady rain last night and today, the
rainfall being about IL inches.
| Yreka-The rain which has fallen dur
ing the past few days came zoo late to
save the grain. Only about half crop
will be harvested. Hay, which is now
being cut is the lghtest crop in years.
The fruit crop is uninjured and will be
an unusually large one.
| Stockton-Last night light rain fell
here and again this evening, but 1t was
not sufficiently heavy to affect crops
severely.
Redding-Heavy rains have no doubt
severely injured early fruits, such as
apricots, early peaches and small fruits
Apricots and peaches have split open
badly. Later fruits will not suffer as
much.
Oroville-The rain will help rather
than injure late sown grain. while other
grain will be but slightly injured It
will help all kinds of fruit except cher
ries and early apricots. The rain. as a
whole, will be benefit rather than an
injury.
Marysville-The rain has been hardly
perceptible. The hay on the ground in
the buttes in Sutter county and the
lower hills of Yuba may suffer slightly
from rust, but to no appreciable extent.
Sacramento-There was light sprin-
kle of rain here this morning, not heavy
enough to do harm.
San Jose-While there have been most
threatening clouds all day, no rain has
fallen here more than the slightest trace.
and no fall has been reported from any
point in this vicinity. What little rain
fell yesterday and last night did not do
the slightest harm.
Martinez-Not enough rain fell in
Contra Costa county to be noticed last
night.

MR.. MOSHER'S MILLION
rs NEEDED BY DEPOSITORS IN
HIS BANK
Stockholders Of the Defunct Capital
National Bank of St. Louis
Sued by Illinoisans

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 20-A special
from Lincoln, Neb., says: Nearly 100
moneyed men of Illinois, scattered over
the state from Chicago to East st. Louis,
many of whom reside at Peoria and
Galesburg, have been made defendants
in What is likely to prove the most SEN
sational national bank litigation ever
instituted in the west; the next chapter
in the famous case in which Charles
Mosher, president of the defunct Capital
National bank of this city, figured to the
extent of stealing some thing over 81, ,000.-
900, and for which he is now serving five
years in the penitentiary. His bank
closed in 1884, Ten years prior to that
time the Capital National bank had
been paying immense dividends,
amounting in the aggregate to half
million dollars. The stockholders were
mostly Illinois people. Receiver Hay

suit against these stockholders to force
them to return these dividends paid by
Mosher, on the ground that they were

Charles Magoon, j. H. Ames and H. M.
Lamberson have just returned from
Chicago, where they took Mosher's tes-
timony in the case. Mosher declares that
the dividends We're earned and that if
the books do not show it they have been
mutilated since he left the bank.
The law is clear that if the dividends
were unearned they must be returned
to reimburse the depositors. Mosher is,
