The shore resort season is fast near
ing an end. A week from next Monday
is Labor Day and this will probably be
the wind UP. School beginning In Sep
tember most Of the cottagers will move
TO the city homes before or right after
Labor Day.
The season has not been a very pros
porous one as the hard times have af-
fected the work and people having no
work had no money to spend by going
down the shore. All the way through
the weather has been against the pro-
prietors of the shore resorts as there
has not been hardly week but there
was at least one rainy day and many
times two or three,
THE days are now becoming shorter
and the evenings cooler so that II is
a great deal better TO sit I'm the house
beside a fire than 10 spend the even
ing out OF doors.
MANY of the cottagers think that Sep
tember and October are the pleasantest
months of the year for the shore resort,
and they will stay through these two
months.
Along the East side of the bay the
cottagers have not shown the life as In
former years. This year there have been
fewer dances. whist parties, etc, than
dn many years past.
On~the West side there has been two
new <asinos built this year and many
good times have been held In them.
Every week there was something going
on at these resorts and on the West
side il was quite a lively season.
The cottagers along Narragansett Ter
race. since the building OF their new
casino. have started in we'll and by next
season everything Will be booming
there.

DUR3ANT WAXING FAT.
Prison Life Agrees With the Youthful
Murderer of Blanche Ia
mont.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CAL, Aug.
H.-Theodore Durrant is growing fat at
the expense of the state. Lille at the peni-
Tertiary where he is awaiting death does
not affect his appetite nor has it caused
him loss of flesh; in fact, he has gained
since he was incarcerated, and when he
takes his daily walk in the yard he holds
his head erect and breathes the pure air
with evident pleasure.
Durrant's parents have visited him
regularly. Sunday after Sunday his
father journeys across the bay and walks
up to the entrance of the big stone build
ing. He is never refused admittance, and
Theodore is brought oat of his stone cell
and across the prison-yard to Captain Ed
gar's Office, where father and son ia k for an
hour, and sometimes longer. On Wednes-
days Durrani'S mother visits him and al
ways greets her bow with an affectionate
kiss. Then the lad with the striped suit
puts his arms around the slender form
and they EN- mbrace. Mrs. Durrant's love
for the boy has not diminished. She still
believes him innocent OF the horrible
crimes he was convicted of.
Though the Durfant case has not occu-
pied much of the pubic's attention lately,
it has not been forgotten. Every visitor
at the big penitentiary asks 20 see the
youthful murderer, but each is disap-
pointed. The guards point to the iron
cell over which Is the number '2l," and

Hello ON A MURDER CHARGE.
Serious Accusation Preferred 4oojnst
Rdncher David Russell of
Flagstaff.

FLAGSTAFF, ARIz., Aug. 21.-David
Russell a well-known rapcher and prom.
inent citizen OF this county, has been held
over to the Grand Jury on charge of
murder. His friends declare he is inno-
cent, and he protests that he was not with.
in two miles Of the scene of the tragedy.
Antonio Suastigi, 4 Mexican sheep
herder, was the victim. He was shot and
killed early in the morning a point two
and hall miles west of Bellemont. Suas-
tigi was in the employ OF J. B. Smith, and
was driving band of sheep toward Viii
liam McIntyre's corral, when a man ap.
peared and began shooting the shee D.
Suastigi protested against the slaughter,
whereupon the invader fired two shots at
the sheepherder, one OF them proving
fatal.
Vicente Alderte, fellow -sheepherder,
claims TO have been an eyewitness 10 the
tragedy. At the inquest he described the
man who did the shooting in way that
tailed exactly with David Russell, and
later on, when brought face to face with
the rancher, he identified him at once as
the murderer.
Russell declares that he rem aimed home
all day and his wife cortoborates this. 1t
is scarcely believed that Russell could be
guilty of such a wanton act, but neverthe-
less he has been held without bonds.

"JUMPiNG" SERTA YSABEL LAND.
Claims Taken Up by Men Who De-
clare the Morrow Ranch IS
Being Illegally Held.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 21-SeveraI
land claims have been filed by persons on
the great Morrow ranch, in the Santa
Ysabel Valley, and it is thought their
number will be greatly augmented by
land-iumpers in the next twenty-four
hours. 1t is claimed that 5000 acres of
the finest land in the foothills is beng
illegally held.
The Morrow ranch is owned by Robert

and consists of 10000 acres. 1t stretches
across the eastern foothills from Ever

body seems to know what the condition
of the fire in the Utica mine is at present,
as it is impossible to approach near
enough for observation on account of the
intense heat and smoke.
All day gas and smoke have been issuing
in great volumes from the mouth of the
Utica shalt, while stream of water has
been kept playing over the Sickle shaft
to force back the gas and cause forced
draught III the direction of the Utica
Lighted lamp and live dog were again
lowered into the Sickle mine at noon to-
day, and when ali had been returned to
the surface in favorable condition Gre W
OF men was sent below to explore the
scene of the fire. A s far as can be learned
the conf1agration is confined to one prin-
cipal locality among The cribbing OF the
new slope, but the heat and smoke would
not permit of close inspection.
By working short shifts OF from ten to
twenty minutes the men are slowly sue
ceeding in getting stream of water on
the fire at the upp,r end OF the slope, near
the 700 level, and they now believe their
efforts are meeting with success.
Should it be apparent that the fire Is
still burning twenty-four hours hence it
will probably become necessary to flood
the entire mine, an alternative much dis
liked by the company, as it will entail the
loss of many thousands OF dollars and be

NWLLS TO THE RESCUE.
The Mine owner Enters the Field as
q Bidder for Fresnos
Rdisin Crop.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 2L-Captain w.
A. Nevills, the capitalist who owns the
bonanza Rawhide mine in Tuolumne Coun-
ty and the big Paragon and La Favorita
vineyards west of this city, will use his
wealth IN q meritorious cause and to do
good to his fellow-man.
He will assist the raisin-growers OF this
county to obtain fair price for their
product this season, and thwart the mach
nations of the packers TO bear the market.
These dealers, it is understood, have
com bined to hold down the prices, and it
seemed as though they would succeed, Tor
the growers could do nothing OF avail
against their oppressors, who by their Or
ganlZaIion were thought to be IN control
of the m marketing of raisins.
Now Captain Nevills has come forward,
both in the interests of his own vineyards
and of the growers. With a short crop,
better times and higher duty on foreign
ra!sins there can be no doubt that the
product can be disposed of at remunera-
tive prices in the Eastern markets this
season.
The capitalist now offers a Scent rate
for all merchantable raisins in the sweat
box. He has money enough to carry out
his resolution to defeat the intrigue OF the
packers.
The result will be to steady the market,
and it is believed that it will break up the
com bination of the dealers. They will
undoubtedly meet this offer, and then
there will be competition in order that
they can obtain enough raisins to fill their
orders. This may increase the price.
The Farmers Club held q meeting in
this city to-day. The growers are jubi-
liant over Captain Nevills' assistance in
their cause. For several years the pack
ers have had the producers at their mercy,
and deliverance seems TO be al hand.

CR6RITT GONE ISTRAY,
millionaire Grifith's Philanthropy Tas
Poorly Hepa{d.


Poorly Repa{d.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 21.-It will
require several days work by an expert to
determine whether the books of r. a.
Bird, secre .ary of the Briswalter Land and
Water Company, will show shorta ge,
and, If so, wha: the amount of the de-
ficit is.
That Birds books are in an experts
hands is owing to the assertion made by a
woman known as Carmen Montez that
Bird had admitted to her that he was
short $40 600 in his accounts.
G. ]. Griffith, the millionaire EN- ployer
OF Bird, Will not believe that his trusted
bcokkeeper could have taken that
amount but says that the books are in
such Door shape that some time will be
required 10 get at the facts, and an assist
ant will be given to the expert on Mon
day.
Griffith feel. particularly aggrieved over
the circumstance, for he had a philan-
thropic motive in giving position of
trust to Bird in full knowled ,e of the fact
that the young man had served State
prison term for embeZZlement in San
Diego few years ago, the result o. going
at too fast pace.
The Montez woman claims that while
Bird was with her a a roadhouse near the
city on Thursday nj ht he tried to kill
himself. but was overpowered and brought
into the city, where he was kept under
surveillance. A hack-driver has turned
up with claim of $50 against the book
keeper, who it is SAID, allowed his hack
bills to amount to as much as $3.50 before
paying them-and this on salary OF $l00
q month.
