@0URNI8G IN MERGED.
Editor Thomas Harris, Senior Proprietor
of the Star, Passes to the
BsyoHd

MERGED, CAL, Jan. 12.-Thomas Harris,
the senior partner of the firm of Harris
Bros, prorrietors of the MERGED Star,
died at his home in MERGED this evening,
after long illness. During the past year
his health had been failing, and during a
part of the summer he sought the noun
tains to recuperate. After returning to
his desk he was again compelled TO take a
rest, when he went to San Francisco about
six weeks ago for medical treatment. A
week ago he returned to his home, and
since then had been slowly sinking.
Mr. Harris was one of the best known
printers and news paper men on the coast.
In years gone by he was composition on
the leading dailies in San Francisco, Sac.
ramento and Virginia City. He had been
a resident of MERGED for tYenty-one years,
and had been in the newspaper business
during all of that time. In 1880 he esta b.
lished the Mercsd Star in company with
his brother, and since that time he de-
voted all of his energy to that paper.
Mr.. Harris was a man who made many
friends and retained their friendship
throughout his life by his warm hearted
ness. integrity and strong sym pathies. His
word was his bond, and his character was
above insinuaiion. His death causes ex-
IRENE regret among the citizens OF MERGED.
He was prominent in ali affairs tending to
promote the interests of the community
in which he resided. and was director Of
the Agricultural Association of this dis
triet He was also mem Der of the Re-
publican County Central Committee, and
was prominent IN the councils of the party
in this section. He was 81 years of age
and unmarried

ST0cKT0E'S REFORM WAVE.
omy and Lsssening of
Taxes.

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 1.-THE rooms
of the Stockton Commercial Association
were crowded tonight by the members
and other citizens, who assembled to dis
cuss municipal reforms. A large delega-
ton OF property-owners was present, and
there was some very caustic talk with ref
erence to The great amount of money ex-
pended during the past year on street i'm
provements. John Milan in hot speech
declared that the taxpayers and owners
of realty were being swindled by the work
on the streets that they were com PEELED to
pay for. He said that not a single piece
of work had been done properly.
Street Superintendent Bidwell de-
manded to know OF single street that
had not been properly macadamized. An
acrimonious debate followed and finally
grew so heated that Chairman Buell. had
to call halt in the proceedings. George
w. Patterson of the WOODEN mills sug-
gested that the meeting had NOT been
called to inquire into the condition of city

ADVENTURE AT DES0LATI0K.
Prospector freed BY Two Bears Is Saved
by Virtue of His Lusty Telling
for HeLn

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. u. = Elmer
Thornburg, miner living at Granite, Or,
is Just back from Desolation in the North
Fork country. While there looking after
some of his prospects he had a thrilling
experience last week. He was seated on
bowider on Friday noon when he heard
grunts behind him, and looking around
saw Two full-grown black bears approach
ing.
Thornburg ran. The hungry bears
quickly took the scent ana were after him.
When he saw that the race would be an
uneven one he climbed up among the
branches of black pine tree. Fierce with
hunger. their savage appetites just whet-
ted sufficiently to make fat man taste
good, the bears put their huge paws
around the slender tree trunk and en-
deavored to reach him. Breaking off a
branch off the tree Thornburg raped
smartly each black nose within reach, and
bruin would go away growlinc, only to
return when the pain had ceased.
Thornburg began to yell at the top of
his voice, in the hopes that his cries
might reach camp. They finally did,
and John Dickinson and Ed Fiaherty
came out with their rifles and made it
possible for the unarmed and unframed
man to descend from his perch. The
bears were killed.

sented about clock, bnt it was not hon.

of Having Attempted to
cm;r/Jfo Ho.

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Jan. 12.-Colonel
R. b. Treat, one of the best-known poll
ticians and lawyers in Southern Califor-
MA, Is at present under cloud. He is
charged by Mrs. Lizzie Elliott, client,
with attempts to swindle her in various
transactions.
Mrs. Elliott, who owns considerable
property in the city and has quite a sum
of money loaned out, called upon Deputy
District Attorney James few days ago
and asked for a complaint against Colonel
Treat. charging him with embezzlemeni.

had employed Colonel Treat to collect in

him SIS quarter.

lady to delay her action until Colonel
Treat could be seen by the peoples law
yer. This was agreeable, and when the
politicians attention was called to the
matter he acknowledged an indebtedness
OF $50 10 Mrs. Elliott and paid her $40 on
account. fhe lady was then advised to
bring civil action for the balance.
The papers were no sooner filed than

Attorney James and stated that she had
discovered a new cause of grievance
against COiOnei Treat. one stated Inab
some time ago she handed him $500 to pay

ago, she declared, she called upon the
person TO whom the $500 was to have been
paid and was greatly surprised to learn
that Colonel Treat had paid only $3.50 OF
the amount, holding back $50.
Colonel Treat states that there is an I'M
settled account between Mrs. Elliott and
himself, and that he has no fear of an
embezzlement charge. His only offense,
If any Is needed, is that he paid himself

Repeated Attempts Made to
Wreck Trains Near
Ripon.
Catastrophe Averted Only by
the Prompt Action of an
Engineer.
South. Bound Express Stopped Within
Few Feet of an Open
Switch.

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 1.-THE vicinity
of Ripon, in this county, has been terror
lied by tramps,dnrlng the past week, and
several attempts have been made to ditch
and rob trains Last night two switches
were broken and thrown open to derail a
Southern Pacific passenger train, but
those who made the attempt were EVIL
IDENTIFY novices at the business. and the
train ran on to the siding instead of
going off the track. The break was fixed
by men from the car shops, who were sent
from Lathrop, and the track was in good
order when the freight went by during the
night
Not anticipating a repetition of last
nights affair, the switch at Ripon was
not guarded, and at S:1S o. clock this morn
ing when the south bound passenger went
by the switches were found to be broken
in the same manner as they were last
night. Only the prompt action of the en-
gineer in reversing the engine averted q
catastrophe. He succeeded in stopping
the train before it ran into the open
switch and then the engine and cars were
run on to a siding while the broken track
and switch were repaired.
The crime was not reported to the Sher-
ifs Office here, but Sheriff Cunningham
will have the breaking of the tracks and
switches investigated. Constable john
son, who lives not far from Ripon, is at
work on the case, and hopes to have the
would-be wreckers in custody before long.
The residents about Ripon attribute the
attempt to the band of tramps which has
infested that community OF late. 1t is
believed that the tramps intended 10
ditch the train and then get such plumber
as they could from the passengers. Last
Saturday night they attempted to throw
the switch open and wreck q train, but the
break was discovered and repaired in time
to prevent the catastrophe they had
planned.

HEALDSBURG SUES
FOR STOLEN GOLD
Sensational Raid on the
City Hall in 1893
Recalled.
Action Brought Against the Late
Treasurer Mulligan's
Bondsmen.
Asked to Pay the Amount Sto'en
From the Vaults by Two
Outlaws.

SANTA ROSA. CAL, Jan. 1.-THE cele-
before the Superior Court here to day.
The action is brought by the city of
Healdsburg to recover about $4,000 from
the bondsmen of George V. Mulligan. ex-
City Treasurer. The defendants claim
that Mulligan was the victim of a brutal
robbery on the morning of October 80.

the Supreme Court in this same case this,
if proven, will constitute good defense.
The sensational robbery of the Healds-
burg treasury will be long remembered IN
this vicinity. When the place was found
open and the Treasurer missing upon that
eventful October morning the people of
Healdsburg were wild with excitement.
The fire bell was rung and hundreds
joined in the search for the missing man.
He was found late in the afternoon hand
cuffed to a tree in the cemetery and
wholly exhausted from the shock and ex-
posture. Being far from robust and Of a
highly sensitive nature, the unfortunate
man did not rally and was soon buried in
the cemetery where he had been so
roughly used.
Before his death Treasurer Mulligan re-
lated how two men came to his home that
morning and told him his brother-in-law
was very sick. When he had hastily
dressed and was leaving the house the
two men seized, bound and gagged him
aud on pain of instant death forced him
to open the vault. Then came the arrest
OF well-known young man of HeaIds-
burg, who proved an alibi and at onceleit
for Scotland. Now the bondsmen of the
dead Treasurer are asked to pay the
amount missing. and prolonged strug-
gle is looked for.
