Judge Richard Egan of Capistrano,
who came to Santa Ana last evening, at
s o'clock this morning received tele-
gram announcing the total destruction
of his handsome residence by fire last
night. The judge Immediately re-
turned home.
The following particulars are given
by AL Harlin, principal of the Capistrano
public school: At about 9:45 last night
flames were discovered pouring from the
roof of Judge Egan's residence. When
the citizens arrived the fire had gained
such headway that all efforts were di-
rected to the removal of the contents of
the house. Nearly all of the Judges ef-
fects We're safely taken out. The flames
soon did their work, and only blackened
walls now remain Of the once handsome
residence. Owing to the absence of Mr..
Egan, who left for Santa Ana only a
few hours before the fire, no estimate tl
loss can be given. The house was stored
with relics and records of the early
mission days, but it is hoped that most of
these are saved. for they could never
be replaced. The origin of the fire is un-
known.
Judge Egan, before leaving Santa Ana

be able to rebuild at an early day.

Drs. Gill, Sawyer, Ruby and Baird. Dis
trict Attorney Gill, Mrs. Peycke's attor-
neys Peck and Adair and E. B. Stanton
for Mr.. Peycke.
Mr.. Gill stated that he understood that
the parties desired to withdraw the
charge of insanity. In that event he
would allow the charge of an assault
with a deadly weapon to be withdrawn
and allow Mrs. Peycke to plead to sim
pie assault Mr.. Stanton said, as Mr..
Peycke desired to get away, with the
view of taking his wife east to place her
with her friends, that such an arrange
ment as mentioned by the district at
torney had been talked about. All Mr..
Peycke wanted was to have all proceed
ings quashed as nearly as possible. He
asked for few minutes delay, however,
to consult with Mr.. Peycke, and half
hours recess was taken.
Upon re-convening Attorney Stanton
stated that after consulting with Mr..
Peycke and DR.. Baird, who filed the in
formation, having consented, he would
withdraw the charge of insanity. He
wanted, however, as the attorney of Mr..
Peycke, to have some testimony intro
duced to show the condition of Mrs.
Peycke's mind before judgment was
passed on Mrs. Peycke after she had
pleaded to simple assault. To this Dis
trict Attorney Gill objected.
Judge Campbell said the statutes pro-
vided that the penalty for the offense of
simple assault was not less than one day
or more than 500 days in jail, or a fine
OF from 81 to $500. and as he was to pass
judgment he desired to know all he could
find out of the circumstances connected
with the offense, that might fix the PEN
