M'MENoMY SENTENCED
He Must Stand Trial on Yet Another
Charge

H. {. MeMenomy, who burglarized NJ. II.
Newmark's residence on Grand avenue last
MAY, securing some $4,000 worth of jewelry
and money, and who entered the house of
Mrs. ]. E. Meserve of Highland Park, this
city one night during the same month,
choked her in her bed and took her jewei:y
terday for sentence.
The accused is an ex-Whittier eulprit,
having served two terms in that institution,
and is an all-Nound tough of the worst
character. The manner in which he han
died Mrs. Meserve, who is a widow, res.d-
ing in her home alone with her little daugh-
ter is evidence of his desperate tendencies.
The defendant appeared in court for SEN
tence, accompanied by his attorney, j. P.
Foley, the people being represented by w.
p. James, deputy district attorney. Mr..
Foley proposed to Mr.. James that he dis
miss the Newmark case, providing the de-
PENDANT pleaded guilty to the charge in the
Meserve case. The Newmark case was
burglary in the second degree, and five
years is the limit, while the Meserve case
was burglary in the first degree, and the
maximum is fifteen years.
Mr.. James would not agree to the propo-
sition made by Mr.. Foley, but, as the Me-
serve charge was placed before the Judge.
the prisoner pleaded guilty to it. and the
opinion was vouchsafed that as his honor
had no knowledge of the other charge. he
could only act on the one before him. He
therefore pronounced sentence on that, CIV
ing the prisoner ten years at San Quentin.
Mr.. James at once laid the matter before
District Attorney Donnell, with the result
that the latter stated his direct opposi-
ton to the dismissal of the Newmark
charge, and accordingly McMenomy will
have to stand trial on that charge.

KLoNDIKE
PRE-EMPTED, ovERsTocKED
All Prospecting Must Be Done on Foot.
The Ruling Markets-Seven Thou
sand Dollars for Ten Steers

DAWSON, N. w. T., June 22-(Special
Correspondence to The Herald.) 1 arrived
in Dawson City on the 18th, having made
the trip down the river without accident
The weather has been fine. Mosquitoes are
plentiful on land, but they did not bother
US while we were moving. We are agreea-
bly, surprised to find there are no mosqui-
toes in Dawson.
The city Is situated at the mouth of the
Klondike river and in swamp. Front
street is the only thoroughfare that is at
all dry Back of that there Is nothing
but a bog, and the town is the flthiest
place ever was in. When we landed we
found 1t difficult to find a place for our
boat Boats are two and three deep for a
mile and half along the river front. The
town is alive with people; greater num-
bers, indeed. are to be seen on Front street
than on Spring street in Los Angeles
have met several men from Los Angeles,
among them being w. n. Monroe and Milt
Monroe.
1t appears that every creek and gulch
within forty miles of Dawson is staked
out, and but very few are paying ex-
penses. Some fifty or sixty claims on
Bonanza and Eldorado are the only ones
very rich.
/ was out on Bonanza, which Is about
six miles from town, washed out some dirt
and got about eight cents to the pan. They
only ask 900 for the claim. They are
anxious to sell and asked me not to give
it away" l find that some Of the claims
are not cleaning up for the simple reason
that they are trying to sell and blk some
one. If they clean up they must report
TO the gold commissioner.
So far as can learn the country is very
much overrated. People are selling their
outftSand going out by the hundreds The
trouble is that you cannot get out to pros
pect except on foot, and one can't take
more than a weeks supply and tramp over
these mountains. BY the time you get to
unstaked territory you need to return for
more grub. Those who have been out say
it is rough and hard travelling. In few
days we are going out to investigate lay
that was offered me. But we are thinking
of going on to American territory, where
the laws are more favorable to miners.
Provisions are high; in fact. everything
is high. Flour is $12 per hundred: bacon,
40 cents per pound; Cucamonga oranges,
brought over the trail, are selling for 80
and Is cents each lemons and eggs. 2!
cents each; beef, $3.50 per pound. Ten head
Of cattle came in the other day. I was
told they brought over $1,000. You can see
a person must have money or provisions to
live in this country.
Wages are from S. to SIS per day, but
there are 500 men for every Job. The
mounted police have established mail
route from Skaguay. A large mail came
in Saturday, and Monday morning found
200 in line at the postoffice. Tuesday morn
ing there were about sixty there before
me at $50 o'clock, and did not get to the
delivery window until about 10 o'clock

MOTION FOR CHANGE OF VENUE
Affairs Of the Alessandro Irrigation
District, Riverside County

Motion was made yesterday before Judge
Shaw for change of venue in the case
of Ezra T. Stimson vs. the Alessandro lrri-
cation district to the superior court OF Xiv
erside county, in which the district is sit
uated. The motion was granted.
The suit brought by Mr.. Stimson Is to
force the payment of $S185, die on interest
coupons on bonds of the district, and is
but one of many such suits which will in
the end determine the validity of the bones
Of the district. F. w. Burnett is attorney
for the plaintiff, and Otis & Gregg of San
Bernardino and Charles Wellborn of this
city represent the defendant. A demurrer
has been filed by the plaintiff alleging that
the complaint does not state sufficient cause
for action. This will be ruled upon by the
Riverside county court.
The Alesandro irrigation district was
formed several years ago and comprises
some q 600 odd acres of land in the upper
end of the San Jacinto valley. The district
was formed under The direction of the
Bear Valley company which has since
failed, and settlers were imported and civ
EN- title to land In the district, nearly all Of
which at the time belonged to the company
In order that 1t might be formed as there
we're at that time not enough settlers then
resident to meet the requirements of the
law. This is one of the points on which ths
question is raised as to the validity of the
district bonds. The purchasers of land T.,
the valley have been involved in litigation
tor the last three or four years, and the
Mne improvements which have been made
have time and again been in danger Of utter
ruin and loss because OF the failure Of the

EVENING CONCERTS AT OMAHA
Special Days and Attractions at the
EXPOSITION

GApoSAt0ou
Mrs. Virgins, in letter received yester-
day, writes of special days and features of
the Omaha exposition, as follows:
The Trans Mississippi exposition is try
ing the experiment of half-rate admis-
sion fee for Sundays and special evenings.
1t is great success from one point Of view.
viz, the class of guests it brings in. 1t is
the same old exposition story, again veri-
fed, that Sunday opening and low ad-
mission fee brings in the working class of
people; people who have no other time to
come and people who could not bring their
children in on the regular admission fee.
There is some opposition to the movement
of course; but the great claim made by
all these expositionS Is the claim for i'm
provement-an educative claim. True, this
may be a secondary claim but It is one
ever brought forward; and from this stand
point all classes deserve to be considered.
An exposition certainly ought to have an
educative value, for it brings into close
range all sections of the country and
glimpses of many of the foreign countries
Forty-three days of special attractions have
been arranged and many more are being
considered. The horticultural building is
to have several days of free fruit" and
the word free ever seems to be attractive
The evening concerts are very attractive
these warm days. Phinney's band is play
ing and the exposition chorus singing All
assemble in the band stand and hundreds of
visitors out in the open air surrounded by
beautiful lawns and many electric lights.
A war story, told in music, is especially at
tractive these evenings. The band and the
voices vividly proclaim the preparations.
the marshaling of the soldiers, the moving
of the trains and the gathering Of horses
feet and firearms; but the great climax is
reached when the battle begins. Battle mu-

GOT THE WRONG RIG
A Ludicrous Mistake Made by Som
Insurance Solicitors


A ludicrous mistake occurred yesterday
morning, resulting in two reputable peoples
being suspected Of horse stealing-one, in
fact, being arrested. Samuel Stein, the
Main-street liquor dealer, drove his horse
and buggy to the entrance Of the German
American bank building, at the corner Of
First and Main streets, and hitched the
horse for an instant, while he stepped into
his store, which is located few yards
distant. In the meanwhile George Ansbro.
solicitor for the Pacific Mutual Life In.
surance company, had ordered rig to
make his weekly trip to Pasadena, and was
impatiently pacing his office, waiting for
the outfit to be brought to the building.
He finally telephoned to the livery stable
people and was informed that the rig had
been hitched near the entrance.
Accompanied by another solicitor, Henry
anderson. Ansbro went downstairs and,
perceiving a rig hitched there, naturally
supposed 1t was the one he had ordered. 1t
happened to be that of Mr.. Stein however,
and, unconscious of the error, Ansbro and
his companion stepped into the buggy and
drove away.
Otto Silberg. clerk for Stein, saw them.
and asked his employer If he had loaned the
rig to any person. Stein replied that he
had not, and rushed out to try to capture
the supposed thieves. anderson rode but
short distance with Ansbro and returned
to the bank building just as Stein came up.
Charles Parker, the colored janitor. point
ed out anderson as one of the horse thieves
and Stein took him into custody, turning
him over to police officer. A second off,
Ger was sent to Pasadena after Ansbro and
the rig, while anderson was taken to the
police station.
H. L. Carson, superintendent Of the IN.
surance company, appeared at the station
and, after explaining the incident, Ender.

Still After Them

Attorney Horace Bell has filed a COM
paint IN olsparment proceedings against
R. and H. L. Dunnigan, the attorneys. Mr..
Bell filed complaint Of like kind some time
ago before the supreme court, but the pro-
ceedings were set aside on the grounds
that the matter should first have come be-
fore the superior court, where the facts al
legged in Bells complaint as reasons for
disbarment occurred. Bell charges the
Dunnigans with having violated their
oaths as attorneys and counselors-at-law
by certain proceedings, which the COM
plant recites. The case is we'll known.

A meeting Of the jobbers and wholesalers
was held yesterday afternoon at the rooms
o fthe board Of trade for the purpose of con-

the 5th inst. for the collection of checks
drawn upon country banks, either by the
customers in the country or otherwise, as
might be determined. Many of those inter-
ested were present, an dthe matter was
