DECLINE TO TALK.
The Two Men Who Unearthed Joa-
quin rIurietta's Treasure.

FRESNO, JAN 1.-THE identity of the
two men who recently unearthed a trunk
near the cemetery at Firebaugh, which
was reported to contain over 500 900 in
gold, supposed to have been buried there
by Joaquin Murietta, the bandit of early
days, has been revealed.
They are J. N. Smith and L. P. Hend-
rickson, and are both employed by the
San Joaquin Electric Company in this
city, Mr.. Smith as electrician and Mr..
Hendrickson as trimmer of lamps. Both
came to Fresno fran Salt Lake several
months ago, when the new electric
company began the transmission of
power from the San Joaquin River to
this city. The gentlemen admit that
they are the ones who found the treasure
but refuse positively to talk any further
about the matter. They refuse to tell
the exact amount of their fortune or the
exact place where they found it.
The cause of the reticence of Smith
and Hendrickson is the fear Of the law
every effort shall be made by those
who find anything to ascertain by post
ing and advertising the rightful owner
of the thing found. Then, if no owner
appears, the State confiscates a good
share of the find. Hendrickson and
Smith are anxious to retain possession
of the large fortune they unearthed and
do not wish to let the authorities know
anything about their find. Thus far they
have succeeded very well in their pur
pose The gentlemen are still holding
their jobs with the electric company.

BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 11.-For the
seventh time the annual Pacific Coast
field trial sports begin here tomorrow.
The grounds on which they are expect
ed to take place are situated about
twelve miles south of town. If inclem- :
emit weather does not interfere-and the
prospects are that it will not-the event
will be crowned with success. Said a
well-known fancier: ''The prospects
are good for a season of rare sport,
possibly the best we have ever had at
Bakersfield. We have plenty of birds;
the grounds are in fine fix; everybody
is coming and all are in the best OF
spirits for the fun"
Many well-known dog owners have
arrived and others are expected to-
night and tomorrow. All the old-tim-
ers are among them. Strings of fine
looking CANNES are to be seen on every
hand, and it is needless to say their
owners and trainers point with pride
to the sure winners. Among those who
are here with likely looking strings are:
John F. Hughes of Cupa Valley, d. M.
Walters of Los Angeles, D. M. Dodge,
w. F. Tevis, George Coughln of Marin.
Among the prominent gentlemen who
have already arrived to see the sport
are: Alexander Hamilton, j. H. Kilgar-
iff, J. H. Edwards of San Francisco;
Messrs Stone and Kennedy of Fresno
and others.

HATS HAD TO COME OFF.
AN UPROARIOUS SCENE IN A CHI
CAGO THEATER.
One Woman Kept Her Headgear on
i'm Spite of Cat-Calls
and YellS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Hundreds Of eX-
cited and indignant theater-goers took
the high-hat question into their own
hands tonight at the Columbia Theater
by Kisses and yells that amounted TO a
tumult They compelled every woman
who was present at the first night of
Sousa's "El Captain" to sit bareheaded
through the performance-al but those
in the boxes and one woman in the
parquet, VINO, in spite of the yells and
cat calls that came down at her from
the balcony and gallery kept her wide
brimmed headgear on all through the
opera.
The noisy demonstrations began be-
fore the curtain went up for the first
act and continued until after the opera
had begun, drowning out the music,
and for few minutes threatening to
break up the performance altogether.
Finally it was quieted by the ushers
when there were practically no more
hats to come off, and the play went on
smoothly. The audience, however, was
noisy all the evening and the excite
ment did not subside until after the
people We're outside the playhouse.
The theater was packed when the
trouble began, from the top row Of the
gallery to the front row of the orches-
ira. Nobody knows who started the
demonstration From the SuddenneSs
of the outburst it might have suggested
itself to a hundred persons at the same
instant. It began with yells of Hats
off, that were interSpersed with Kisses
and groanS as some of the women
showed a diSDOSition not to Obev When
the Kisses came the hats in the parquet
and dress circle went off as if they had
| been caught by gale from behind.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Governor Atkinson of Georgia and

The Household Rat.

There are few creatures among the
pests of the household that are credited
with more intelligence than the rat
Many amusing stories are told of the
way in which he avoids the snares that
perpetually lie in wait for him. Where
house is carefully built and the cellar is
we'll cemented, at the sides as we'll as
the bottom, and bricked up between the
beams, rats are not likely to work into
the house. 1t pays to fill the space be-
tween the plaster and the outer wall
with mineral wool or some material
which will deter rats from making in
roads above the ground, as they so
often do. However, the rat is rodent
that prefers darkness to light: he is
turnover, and usually works his way
down to the foundation of the house,
coming in beneath the cellar wall. 1t is
necessary to understand this habit in
order to protect ones self against his
invaSions. There is probably no small
creature more disgusting or more dan
gerous than the large brown wharf rat
which has taken possession of the foun-
dations of so many buildings in New
York City. According to testimony be-
fore a Legislative committee, were 1T not
for the multitude of so-called stray cats
often fed and protected by great busi-
ness houses, the foundations of Manhat-
tan Island might be unsafe because of
the inroads of this uncanny creature.
The best remedy, therefore, is a good
cat. A well-fed, well-housed one, with
comfortable bed, is a very different ami
NAL from the stray tramp cats and such
a cat is the greatest protector against
the enemy.
Where rats have worked into a house
their holes should be promptly filled
with a mortar made of lime and pounded
glass and then cemented UP. If this
course is persisted in it will eventually
drive the intruders away.
There is no good reason why they cam
not be kept away from a private house.
In many of the large hotels men make
it business to bring in ferrets and clear
these places of rats monthly or BIZ
monthly, or as often as necessity de-
mandS.
Extreme cleanliness is a safeguard
against the invasion of such pests. Rats
do not come unless there is refuse left
about to attract them, and there are
thousands of houses in the country, and
even in the city, where their presence is
never known because the houses have
been properly built and properly pro-
tected against them.

A REJECTED SUITOR'S ACT.
HE STABS THE BRIDEGROOM AND
THREE WEDDING GUESTS.
The Thoughtless Joke of One of Them
Excited His Anger and He
Began Cutting.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA rejected
suitor caused riot and bloodshed to-
night at the wedding of the girl whom
he had loved in vain. The bridegroom
and three guests We're stabbed before
the police moved upon the wedding
feast which had become riot, and
overpOwered the enraged and diSap-
pointed man.
The injured, all of whom were curt in
the right arm, are: Charles Barnisky, is
years old; Michael Roman, the bride
groom; Henry Roman, brother of the
bridegroom; Mary Zuphee.
The man with the knife was John Or
mis-. He is a TALL powerfully built Hun
garian. He had woed Agnes Hafri and
at one time he thought that the girl re-
turned his love. Then Mr.. Roman met
Agnes. Soon Roman and Agnes We're
betrothed, and Ornis concealed his cha
grin and was the first to congratulate
the couple.
The wedding took place this evening
at the home of the bride, lis Sheriff
street. The ceremony was over. The
feast was at it's hight. Everybody was
merry and the spirit of the wine loos-
ened the tongues of the guests. Then
someone, who had forgotten all pru-
dence, turned to Ornis and in joking
way chided him for ill-luck in not WIN
ming SO fair girl. A second later that
guest wished that his idle words had
never left his lips. Ornis, who had been
trying to conceal his feelings, became
on fire with anger. He roared fierce
hungarian curse and drew clasp
knife. He rushed first at the groom
Roman lodged him and retreated into
far corner A scene of the widest con-
fusion followed The furniture was
overturned, women fed shrieking about
the fiat. Some of the men tried to over
power Ornis. He cut right and left
with the knife. The bride screamed
and wept and begged him for her sake
to desist. Ornis forced his way to the
bridegroom. Roman threw up his right
arm as a guard and received a painful
wound.
Ornis then stabbed the bridegroom s
brother, buried his knife in the arm of
young Barinski and stabbed the Zuphee
woman as she was trying to escape from
the room. Ornis was taken to the
Union Market Station and locked up
with four charges of feIonious assault
against him.

storm which would have been unusual

did in midwinter it created consterna-

the thunder loud and unusually severe.
This thunderstorm in January was
accompanied by a heavy rainfalt al
most as heavy as the worst storm last

storm the atmosphere became so warm
that windows were opened and over
coats discarded. The cold wave sig
nal is now UP, and the promise is made
