Melcher of Auburn. Arrangements had
gone so far that Melcher had his home
entirely renovated.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Hadley came
East. Miss Ding,ey had met Hadley six
years ago, when he was stopping at
Poland Springs, and when he visited
Kicker Hill this summer the acquaintance
was renewed. 1t ripened into deter
mlnation to wed.
Miss Dingley's departure for Boston
without apparent cause aroused the sus-
picions of her parents and Mr.. Melcher,
for, on the afternoon of the day that Miss
Dingley won't awav her mother and Mr..
Melcher left for Boston, but returned
several days later without her.
Mr.. M lcher admitted to-day that Miss
Dngley has been engaged to marry him
for some time. Miss Dinglev's father is
the heaviest taxpayer in Auburn. Mr..
Hadley is well-to-do hotel-k keeper Of San

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, July 7.-George
F. Piyler was arraigned to-day on charge
of mayhem, committed on Charles
Harris. Loryea, a negro, was the only
witness this morning. He testified that

ObJs to Thomas Brady, Who Was
Recently Elevated to the Cap
taincy of Company A.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July -Four
Deputy Sheriffs went from this city to
Whittier to-day to help quell the mutiny
OF the boys in the State reform school.
AS the force of officers and guards was
almost wholly new and strange TO the in
stitution, having been put in place since the
board of trustees became ali Democratic,
the boy inmates of the reformatorv es-
sayed to dictate rules and policy, and be-
cause they did not like Thomas Brady,
captain OF Company A. they refused to go
through the usual routine.
Attempts to arrest some insubordinate
boys precipitated open rebellion, which
extended over until to-day, after a num-
ber of the rebels had been strapped.
AS the officers and guards of the insti-
tuition were greatly outnum bered by the
boy inmates they feared that Concerted
action on the part OF the latter would re.
suit in a successful break fer freedom, and
the assistance of the Sheriff was invoked.
Major ]. T. Thompson was favorite
with the boys, who objected much to
Brady's promotion to the rank of major,
their displeasure.
The trustees of the school have been at
the scene of the trouble since yesterday.
They suspended Thompson because he
was a favorite and Brady because he was
not. To-day they reinstated Brady, but
more shake-ups are promised and possi-
Dle further generalization OF the entire
force.
The whole business seems like tempest
in a teapot for had the effieers acted
promptly it could have been suppressed
before it attained the dignity of an iIsur-
rection and made an opera bouffe imita-
ton of a recent State nrison enisode
