young lawyer named Nagle, who
once attained some publicity through his
connection with Rev. @. 0. Brown, an
nounced himself at this stage of the pro-
ceedines as Molter's counsel and said he
would like to ask few questions. He was
given the desired permission.
What did Cough tell you as to what

This brought Attorney Delmas out of
the little rever g he was enjoying with O

preston that clearly indicated that he
thought he smelied rat, as the saying
goes.

Slack.
Mr.. Mitchell said he thought so, too.
Nagle disclaimed any and. all Interior
motives, but was not permitted to carry
on the examination oil his client any
further. In fact nobody had any more
questions TO ask and Molter's ordeal was
over, circumstance which greatly eased
his mird.
Judge Slack said he was satisfied that
Molter was entirely innocent of any in
territorial wrongdoing In the matter, and
he told the old gentleman that he might
GO home to his family. The court added
that he thought the pursuit of Cough
should be adhered to with vgor and he
directed that the attention OF both the
police and the Grand Jury be called to
the young fellows conduct.

DRIVEN OUT BY DEER FLIES.
The Pests a Terror to Prospsctors
and livestock in Shasta and
Siskiyou Counties.

REDD1NG, CAL. Aug. 30.-A pestien ce
of deerfies as bad as the mosquito pest on
the Yukon has made its appearance in
the eastern portions OF this and SIski-
you counties. Two prospectors who
went into Angel Creek, near Big
low FALL to work their claims, were
driven out because the flies came in such
swarms and were so fierce In their attacks
upon their pack animals that they had TO
beat retreat. The hides of the horses
were one complete mat OF blood, and the
animals must have suffered e1cruciating
torture.
The flies have become so numerous and
troublesome in the Stouts Meadows that
stock-raisers ave been com PEELED to
withdraw their herds from that section.
Stouts Meadows is an extensive mountain
valley containing hundreds Of acres of
fine grass growing from two to four feet
high, as thick as grass can stand, and has
always been valuable section for late
fall pasturage.
The fly is called locally the deer fly. 1t
Is small black insect, some what smaller
them the buffalo fly, while others insist
that they are the famous Texas fv. They
are W to the country and stock-ralsers
are helpless to cope with them.
They were discovered in small mum bers
about month ago, but they have multi
piled alarmingly, and in the eastern part
OF Shasta and Siskiyou counties, in the
high, mountainous valleys that have
been the main stand-b by for late fall pas
turage, life for cattle and horses is un-
bearable. They can be found in millions.

spoons, to the call.
James Walter has evidently skipped

Judge Slack issued that attachment for
him last Friday. but the search has so far
proved fruitless.
Cough is the individual to whose handi-
work is attributed the production of a new
but very clumsy Fair will and also docu-
m=nt bearing spurious signature OF At
torney D. M. Delmas, who represents Mrs.
Cravcn's interests in the Fair trial. He
was wanted in court yesterday to explain
his conduct. but it is quite apparent that
James has not his explanation ready yet,
ing to make any.
So far as the investigation has gone it
has been made quite manifest that Cough
was not endeavoring to NEEDLE particu-
larly with the Fair case, but was engaged
in little gold brick game OF his own in
vention, by which he was getting money
out of aged and gullible Charles Molter,
and hoped to wheedle out Of him much
more. The fact that he was a nephew Of
James w. Patterson Jr., one of the Jurors
in the Fair trial, backed up by the clumsy
documents he had manufactured served
as an effective lever in prying open the
old mans purse.
1t is for forgery that young Cough will
1t is understood, be prosecuted in the
event Of his being appre blended.
Old man Molter appeared in Judge
Slack's court yesterday morning 10 tell
the story of how he was duped and how
he might have Jared far worse but for the
timely discovery OF the trick. There was
a large crowd there to hear The narrative.
Mrs. Craven was there. too, mpanied
by three Of her counsel-Messrs. Delmas,
benson and Ruef. The Fair side of the
case was represented by Attorneys
Wheeler, Mitchell and Treat. ALI were
interested IN ascertaining whether or not
Coughs transactions had progressed far
enough to in any manner affect the great
trial over the disputed Craven deeds.
Judge Slack opened the proceedings by
formally announcing the return of the
Sheriff, to wit, that one James Walter
Cough had made himself entirely too
scarce to be found. Then Molter was
sworn and placed on the witness stand
Attorney Mitchell volunteered to do the
questioning.
Molter was somewhat excited and
Eighty, and sputtered comlcally while
narrating his experience. He made it
known that he cared not for the money he
had lost; all he wanted was to get out of
this peck OF trouble.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Aug.
3O.-Football matters are not running
along very smoothly ct the university. If
reports are true several men who we're
counted upon for good work on the grid
iron will not return, but just at present
something more serious than this con-
fronts Manager Swtzer. The fact is, there
are no grounds on which the Varsity can
practice.
The field used last year has become so
hard and dry that it will be impossible to
get it into any sort of shape without u
plentiful supply of water, and owing to
some more of Mr.. Hodges experiments
with the Searsville Lake, not drop OF
water can be hauled upon the field. The
nearest supply is at Palo Alto, a mile and
a half away. The soil on the field is of
such nature that 1t would keep one man
and team busy hauling water through
out the year to keep the field in shape for
safe playing.
The latest scheme 10 to build new
double field in what is known to Stanford
students as the "Arboretum," u large
grove a bout half mile from the uniyer-
sity buildings. Manager SwitZer esti-
mates that it would cost from $500 to $500
to tit out such grounds. Many OF the
upper class men and football men are
opposed to the plan, while there are an
equal mum Der who are in favor of it.
claiming that double field would en-
courage more freshmen to play. Those
opposed to the change argue that the
grounds would be so far from Encina Hall
that it would interfere with the crowd
that usually went out TO the practice
games.
There will probably be a meeting of the
hnd DIV On Fir 1ir1x In, no

and will have to wait until grounds are
pre- ared.

into the United States through this port.
1t is estimated that more than 1900
Cinnamon have entered this port within
the past six months. Nearly al! The Chi
nese who desire to enter the
United States claim they are mer-
chants, but it is well-known fact
that less than 10 per cent are engaged in
legitimate pursuits. Collector Saunders
accounts for the large number OF entries
at this port during the past two years by
the fact that the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road, which formerly had line from Van
couver to Portland. has discontinued it
and now lands its passengers al Victoria.
A large number of Chinese passengers
who formerly went to Portland now come
direct to Port Townsend by vessel from
Victoria and from this point scatter to
their various destin atoms.

He had ANEW scheme this time. He SAID
he had a will in the Fair case and was

will to me and let me look at it, Had it

him and said he was big fool TO have

well, what then?' asked Mr.. Mitchell,
for the old gentleman had become m ired.
"Oh!" and Molter emitted a sort OF
historical gurgle, "he kept monkeying
around, trying to get money from me. He
kept on until l finally gave him four BITS
10 get rii of him."
Loaned him four bits on the will?"
''No-just gave it to him, like that"
