ORE STEALING CHARGE
Trial Of George Calladine Ends in His
| Vindication

RANDSBURG, April 19.-At Q o'clock this
morning Judge Maginnis called the court
to order and the case Of the Yellow Aster
Mining company against George Calladine
was called. Mrs. Annie Adams. the one
witness for plaintiffs, was sworn and after
a short examination by Mr.. Goodbody, wit
ness was turned over to Mr.. Bledsoe for
cross ss-examination, when 1t transpired that
the facts she had testified to were known to
her through a third party and not by her
own knowledge. Lawyer Bledsoe asked
that the testimony be stricken from the
records and District Attorney Fay moved
that the case be dismissed.
1t is almost inconceivable that men bear
ing as excellent regulations as Messrs.
Poppett and Calladine do in this and other
communities should be subjected to the In
dignity of an arrest and trial when there
was literally no evidence produced against
them.
At Q D. m. the case Of Oliver La Fevre
was called, the defendant being represent
ed by C. H. Wynn, the plaintiff by District
Attorney Fay and Mr.. Goodbody.
The first witness called was L. A. Green
he testifying that some time between the
18th and 10th of November last he saw de-
fendant bring a sack three-quarters full
of ore from the Trilby mine and drop the
same behind a boulder near the bottom Of
the gulch. This occurred just at dusk. AS
soon as the defendant moved on, the wit
ness took small piece Of ore from the sack
and horned 1t. AS near as he could esti-
mate the ore was well worth $500 per sack.
Matthew Baron was next called, but
brought out no new testimony; he was
followed on the witness stand by his wife
something spicy, as 1t Is well known fact
that the two families have lately enter
tanned anything but kindly feeling for
each other. Lawyer Wynn cross-exam-
ined this witness very gingerly and the
husband not at all, and hopes of sensa-
tion fell fiat. The next two witnesses
called, A. Anderson and his clerk. E. A..
Washburn. testified that they had bought
gold dust from the defendant; in one case
1t amounted to about $40, in the other to
about $15.
At this point the attorneys for plaintiff
rested their case and an adjournment was
asked for by Mr.. Wynn to give him time
to bring his witnesses. Judge Maginnis
ruled that this was not necessary as he
did not consider the testimony offered by
plaintiff was sufficient to warrant him in
holding the defendant, and he ordered his
discharge.
The case of Mrs. Oliver La Fevre was
then called and on motion Of District At
torney Fay was dismissed without coming
to trial.

A FATHERS HEROIC ACT
John Michaud Saved His Children at
the Risk of His Life

Lewiston, Me.-A story of heroism rarely
excelled comes from Fort Kent, in Aroos-
took county. John Michaud for the past
year has lived with his five motherless
children in a little two-room, story-and-a-
half house not far from Fort Kent, the
mother having died the latter part of last
winter. He lived about three miles from
the railroad station at Clair, New Bruns-
wick, and his nearest neighbor was half a
mile away. In the center of the floor of
his living room was a large stove with a
funnel running up through the ceiling and
roof. The children slept upstairs and
Michaud slept below. One night last week
1t was SO intensely cold that he stayed up
quite late, keeping a hot fire. About 10 he
retired, after filling the stove with wood.
Some time later he awoke to find the room
filled with flames and smoke and the CELL
ing on fire. There was only q ladder upon
which to climb to where the children lay
sleeping. He ascended the ladder and
found the room filled with smoke and the
roof already burning and roaring like a
furnoce.
He grabbed three of the children in his
arms and got them out into the cold air
before they awoke. He left them there
and rushed back for the other two. BY
the time he got there the bed was on fire,
and the flames had reached to the ladder
surrounding it. He was sure he could not
get them both down through without ex-
posing their naked bodies to the flames, so
he threw the older of the two out of the
window. The other, little girl year
and half old. he rolled in his shirt and
started for the ladder. He was descend
ing through the flames when burning
board from the roof fell upon him, burning
his face, neck and arms in frightful man.
ner but he clung to his child and managed
| to get outside, though In doing SO his feet
and legs were fearfully roasted. He knew
that short time in this cold weather,
which was 20 degrees below zero, would
freeze them all stiff, so he rushed into the
burning house and brought out two old
horse blankets. He then dug hole In the
snow with his arms, which were smarting
from the terrible burns. Laying the
blanket down, he huddled the children to-
gether. threw the other blanket over them
and covered them with snow.
After telling them not to move till his re-
turn, he started at full speed for the next
neighbor's house. When he got to the
door he was exhausted, and tainted at the
door from the effects Of his experience and
exposure. Nurses were called and doctors
sent for, but the man did not recover suf-
ficiently to explain till morning, and it was
supposed that he was the only survivor
of the family.
But the first words the father spoke were
of his children. He was too weak to go to
them, and when he had told the awful
story a party of men hastened to the
scene To their surprise they found the
children all alive and well, with the excep-
ton of the baby. 1t Is feared that this child
will die, as its face and body were badly
burned.

of the Methodist church gave very sue
cessful entertainment in the music hall last
evening. The program consisted of selec.
tions by the philharmonic orchestra
choruses, quartets, solos. recitations and
instrumental selections. The hall was filled
to its utmost capacity and none went away
disappointed with the entertainment. The

was very pleasing. Ice cream and cake
were served at the close of the program.
This concert was given as the prelude to
a course of lectures given by the Epworth

Secrecy Is Undemocratio

Whatever may be thought of the course
actually pursued by the president, this
crisis has certainly shown the folly Of Sc
orecy in public affairs. Publicity is demo-
cratic; secrecy harks back to monarchy
and privilege. Ours is a government by AMI
for the people and they have at all times
a right to scrutinize the conduct of their
chosen servants. The tradition which or
dains any procedure implying distrust Of

A CHURCH ROW
Fate Of the Prohibition Congregation
alists at Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, April 2O.-Another
proof that the affairs Of the church and
those of politics are better kept wide apart
has been furnished in the fate Of the little
Prohibition Congregational church of San
ia Monica. Ii Is over six years since James
Campbell, prominent Pasadenan and an
earnest worker, in his own way, in the
cause of temperance, donated two lots on
the corner of Oregon avenue and Sixth
streets to little band of Congregational-
lists who were at that time holding services
in what was then Hueneke's hall on Third
street. But he gave them with conditions
and stipulations attached thereto which
wer tound, after long and faithful endeav-
or, In. ossible to live up to and fulfill.
Several years ago commencement was
made on neat church building, which has
been finished, little by little, as the congre-
cation could afford 1t, until 1t is a cosy. COM
Portable building.
But the members found 1t an uphill
struggle, not only to keep the organization
together, but to get any new members into
the church, owing to the contract entered
into with the donor Of the lots, which stip-
ulated that the church, in employing pas
tors and receiving members and also in the
political voting of its members, should
never depart from certain rules laid down
In that contract. and any failure to con-
form, even by one member, could cause a
forfeiture. not only Of the lots, but all of
the improvements thereon, the entire prop
erty to pass into the hands of the w. C. T..
U. OF Southern California.
Mr.. Campbell endeavored to cause an ef-
Tort on the part of the church to work
against and fight the saloons and the con-
tract was drawn up with that object in
view, but the contract was interpreted by
the members in one way and by Mr.. Camp
Dell IN another, and while the conflict has
been carried on harmoniously the members
ieit tnat Mr.. Campbell's Interpretation Of
the contract was narrow and severe ana
the TWO opinions alienated the organisation
from his position more and more until f,n-
ally, at q meeting held on Monday evening

the Prohibition church of Santa Monica
was ended.
