that there are no first nights at the
Orpheum. The performance is as good
on first night there as on any later
one, because the participants are those
who come from other houses on the

PLACER PIONEER GONE.
Death of George w. Brown, Who
Came to the State in lS4S.

The Placer Herald of Saturday has
the following sketch of the late George
w. Brown of Gold Hill:
Last Saturday George w. Brown died
in the Gold Hill district at the advanced
age of 70 years. The deceased was
among the first of those hardy pioneers
who crossed the plains in rude convey
ances and located in this county in 1S4S.
In common with other early settlers he
engaged in mining in the new Ell Dorado
and followed that occupation until 1861,
when he returned to his former home in
Illinois, having amassed considera bic
wealth. In 1871 he was elected to the
Legislature in Illinois, and was a mem
Der of the Constitutional Convention of
that State. He was a man who pos
sessed more than ordinary executive
ability, and achieved considerable prom
1nence as a law maker and legislator.
In 1877 he concluded to again seek
a fortune in the Golden State and once
more made the journey to California,
locating in Ophir. He engaged in a
number Of mining schemes in different
points of Placer County, and it is matter
of history that Mr.. Brown was the first
man to test the question of water rights
in this State. Unlike his first visit here
he met with reverses in the enterprises
that in those days promised large re-
turns.
He was never able to recover his lost
fortune, yet he was tireless in his eff
forts to again reach his former position
until enfeebled health forced him to re-
tire from active service in his chosen
field of labor. In the palmy mining
days Mr.. Brown was one Of the leading
citizens of this county, and the present
generation owes great and lasting debt
to men of his character and worth.
With others he endured the many pri-
vations and hardships incident to life
here during that early period. and by
such men the foundation was laid for
the progress and civilization that We do
to-day enjoy.
Mr.. Brown was native Of Louisville,
KY, and he leaves a wife and two
grown children, George A. Brown and
Mrs. Inez Hood, both Of Sacramento.
The funeral was held last Monday, the
pail bearers being Scion Stevens,
Charles Helwig. ]. G. Bisbee, James

Folsom Road Lines to be Surveyed
Very Shortly.

The delays in getting under way the
work on the Folsom macadam highway
have been very vexatious, but 1t now
looks as if there is nothing to prevent
a start being made in the very near
future.
A Record Union" reporter was in
formed last night by Charles T..
Hughes, Secretary of the Folsom Road
Commits sion, that on Wednesday or
Thursday that body and the State
Highway Commissioners will meet and
arrange to start the work.
1t is believed that two or three weeks
more will witness the completion of the
preliminary surveys, and from that
time ON the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. There will be en-
ployment for quite an army of men
during the spring and summer, and all
the available teams in this vicinity will

supreme court HeverSeS the Ju0S-
ment in Mrs. Elliott's Case.
On the 18th of October, 1896, wo-
man named Ann Elliott was convicted
in Judge Hinkson's. court Of the crime
OF procuring, and was sentenced to
five years in the State Prison. She
had kept rendezvous in the northern
part of the city where Chinese and Japs
were her patrons and to which she in
weighed little girls
Charles T. Hughes, who was assigned
by the court to the disagreeable duty
of defending the woman, objected to the
introduction of evidence connecting
Mrs. Elliott with cases other than that
for which she was arrested and prose-
cuted. and on this point appealed from
the verdict and judgment of the court.
On Saturday the Supreme Court rem
dered decision reversing the case and
remanding it for a new trial. The issue
raised by Attorney Hughes was a new
one, anG the decision establishes pre-
cedent for similar cases in future.
