Yesterday morning Officer Gardener,
of the Second ward, arrested George
Buchanan, colored, of Cannonsburg,
Pa, on a charge of murder. Buchanan
was locked up at the City Hall, and will
probably be taken to Pennsylvania this
morning by Washington county Off
GERS.
Buchanan killed a coored man named
Henry Smith, at Cannonsburg, last
July, but claims ne did it in self-defense,
and that there was very strong provo
cation and publication besides
Buchanan and his wife lived at can
nonsburg, and the man Smith boarded
with them. Buchanan claims that
Smith was unduly intimate with Mrs.
Buchanan, and one night while the wife
was at church the two men quarreled
about the matter. Smith had a revol-
yer in the house, and the two men broke
for it simultaneously. Buchanan got
the weapon and shot Smith twice.
Buchanan then made his escape and
Smith died.

mel, and said that he was very
sorry to be able to state authora-
lively that Senator Heitfeld en-
dorsed that policy Of dropping
silver and pinning their faith to
fiat money.
Capt. Gum said that tile great
body Of the populists Of Idaho
would not submit to such repudia,
ton Of silver and that Heitfeld and
bis followers would have to flock
by themselves if they attempted to
insist on it, and their ncek, he
said, would be d very small one.
Congressman Gum is an ardent
silver man and declared himself
very strongly in favor Of union
of nh the silver men It'll Idaho
under any party name that might
be found best. He said that the
preliminary steps fol such an
organization had already been
taken on Wood River.
He said that he was 1T loss to
understand the reputation Of sill
yer by Heitfeld and his following
and that While right ON tile ground
he had never been able to discover
the reasons therefor. lie said that
he had since received a letter from

DID NOT TAKE
AWAY TEE SOIL
A Rancher,- Crops, Wagons,
Horses and Implements
Missing,
D. F. Armstrong Is Badly
Wanted by Mrs, Bassett
Of San Leandro.
Might Be Able to Account for the
Proceeds of the Large Crop
and Other Things,

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, June 26.
Mrs. John Bassett, who owns ranch
near San Leandro, is anxious to find d.
F. Armstrong. Marshal Ramage is help
ing her and has sent out postals all over
the State furnishing description OF him.
Armstrong is missing, but so are other
things. The cherry crop has gone, so
have the proceeds of it. The horse has
gone; much of the ranch implements has
gone; a wagon has gone; some of the fur
niture is missing and Mrs. Bassett fe Is
grateful that her twenty acres of earth is
left her.
The lady does not know whether Arm
strong and tie missing things left toge-
ther or at different times. but she believes
that if Armstrong be brought back an
accounting will certainly help to prove
who despoiled her ranch.
She thinks 'at least that Armstrong
should be able 10 xplaln why he left the
ranch in such different condition from
that in which he found il. For this pur-
pose she has tsken steps TO secure his re-
turn if he can be found.
Some months ago Mrs. Bassett placed
her ranch in charge of Armstrong. She
allowed him full swing in the manage.
for the crop of cherries, amounting to
several tons. Armstrong reported some
weeks ago that everything was satisfac-
tory and that there was a good crop Of
cherries, and that he would attend to
their picking and sale and let Mrs. Bassett
know of his success. He kept his word re-
iating TO the picking and sale, but for OF
to report, He has not been seen for some
davs.
Recently Mrs. Bassett visited her ranch
and she met surprises everywhere. The
cherry crop was gone and even the fruit
boxes had been disposed of. A visit to
the barns and outhouses showed that
everything had disappeared. In fact,
there was nothing left but the trees and
the soil they are planted on.
Mrs. Bassett has made Sc arch for Arm
strong and is somewhat IN doubt as TO
whether he left the ranch in good order
and the implements have disappeared
since or whether he knows wnere the
things have gone. Marshal Rsmage is
now at work and expects to land his N an in
few days if he is still in the State. Mrs.
Bassett says that If Armstrong has done
nothing wrong he should have made his
report OF the crop before leaving.

He Is Permitted to Marry ,
Rancher's l4-Year-0ld
Daughter.
The Groom Is a Very Industrious
Young Man, Who Committed the
Error of ElOping.

OAKLAND. CAL. June 26.-Peter Peteo
will not be shot by an irate father for ab-
ducting his daughter, but instead he has
been blessed. forgiven and is now the
girls fathers son-in-law.
A week ago Miss Minnie Bordes ran
away from her home at Livermore with
Peter Peteo. a ranchhand who had
worked for Bordes eight years. Bordes
pursued the couple and caught them at
Monterey, as they were trying to get a
tug to take them to sea TO be married.
Minnie was taken home and a shotgun
was to give Peter his quietus when he
should again meet Bordes.
Minutes father, however, has cooled off,
and has decided that Peter is very we'll
meaning young man. The lad has worke d
steadily on the ranch for eight wears and
during that time had saved $1,000, which
was in the keeping of Bordes. He is in
dustrious and reliable and so Bordes con-
sented to Wedding,
Minnie's mother was not agreeable,
however, and it took a couple of davs
longer to gain her consent. 1t was finally
