Redlands, where the girl was stopping.
They took her in the carriage in the edge
of evening and drove away with her.
Again the girl disappeared, and was lost as
soon as found before her friends could
reach her. About midnight the men both
appeared on the street, but to all in
quiries pretended not to know Of the girls
whereabouts, although they had her con-
cealed somewhere in the city. From some
remarks dropped it was thought they
were hunting the county clerk or
a deputy to secure a marriage IL
cense and cheat the law by maxi
ing the girl the wife of Castro, but the
officers not only put the clerk and his dep
uties on their guard against such pro-
ceeding, but did the same with the officers
at Riverside, and 1t is thought that the
couple will try Los Angeles or Orange
county. Soon after 2 o'clock this after
noon the girl was discovered concealed in
the Southern hotel of this city. The land
lady at once drove her out, and before she
could run to another cover the police found
her, and will return her to her home in Col
ton.

Riverside Events

RIVERSIDE, March 29.-Ungava chap
ter of the Eastern Star held very import
ant as well as interesting meeting last
evening. Mrs. Eva NJ. Porter of Visalia,
who is the grand worthy matron for this
and Nevada state, was present and exem-
plified the beautiful work of the order. At
the close of the business session of the
chapter the assembly was turned into a
social gathering and a good time resulted.
A fine banquet was one of the principal
features of the evening. The chapters at
Redlands, San Bernardino and Corona
were represented by large delegations. In
fact the meeting was a reunion Of the
membership Of the order in this pafi of me
country.
At meeting of the city trustees held to-
day a protest was received from the prop
erty owners on Fourteenth street against
the granting to Fvank A. Miller of a fran
chise for double track street railway on
that street. The protestants are not OPP
posed to a single track but they do not
want a double track for the reason, as they
say, that it will destroy the street for driv-
ing purposes. The trustees did not seem
very much inclined to take much stock in
the protest and as a matter of fact it was
laid over until next week for further ac-
ton. Fourteenth street is one of the finest
residence streets in the city and many of
the property owners on the street declare
that they will carry the matter into the
highest courts in the land before the street
shall be turned over to the street railway
company.

JOHANNESBURG, March 2S.-A party
of gentlemen. consisting Of A. Woods, c.
Wores, A. N. Faris and c. +. Gates, re-
turned today from a trip to the outlying
districts Johannesburg should be the
trade center and milling point for the Pan
amint country, Slate Range Garden Sta
ton, etc. The trip was undertaken with
the purpose In view Of calling the atten-
ton of the people of those sections to the
deslrabllity of hauling their ore to johann
nesburg and buying their supplies at the
same time. Representatives from Pann-
mint also arrived today to confer with the
business men Of this place concerning the
construction of a short route from the
Panamint and the Improvement Of existing
roads. A meeting of those interested has
been called for this evening, when some
action will probably be taken to meet the
wishes Of the people of that section for
good connecting road.
Work was commenced on the Pinmore to-
day. and it is the intention of its managers
to take out large quantity Of ore for i'm
mediate milling. This can be easily ac-
complished, as there are thousands of tons
Of ore in sight.
Two parties outfitted here the latter part
of the week for a prospecting trip to the
Panamin country.
at the Johannesburg reduction works the
stamps at present are dropping on rich
Maganetta ore and low grade Wedge ore.
Another building is being added to those
already in use at the dry concentrator and
new machinery is being put in. This ma
chinery consists of a crusher, pulverizer,
dryer and grader The latter sorts the pulp
into four degrees Of fineness, the pulp pass
ing into the concentrators.

SHE TURNED TURTLE
THE CLYDE's ACCIDENT IN LONG
BEACH BAY
The Gallant Rescue of Six Sailors by
Captains Fred Alvarez and
John McGarvin

LONG BEACH. March 29.-The Clyde,
sailboat 26 feet in length, with the follow
ing persons on board: Captain Clyde Sim
mons, his father, Rev. Knox; Ray Julian,
l.. r. Stiles and James Wilson, while trying
to make moorings about 9 o'clock this
morning, turned turtle" and is now lying
at the bottom about 1000 feet out from
shore, alongside the wharf. with nothing in
sight but her mast and spars, with sails on.
The wind, which had been blowing good
stiff breeze from the east when the boat
started on her cruise, soon increased into
rip-roaring, old-fashioned Santana"
making it exceedingly dangerous for
small craft, unless in charge of expert
enced navigators to be out.
Their danger becoming apparent, the
party decided to return, and the staunch
little craft was headed shoreward for her
mornings, which she very nearly reached,
upsetting as she tried to veer round in the
teeth of the wind.
The six men who were struggling in the
water were most CALAMITY rescued by Cap
tains F'erd Alvarez and John McGarvin,
who were just outside the end of the
wharf in their slSiff headed for the landing
with load of halibut, but who at once,
regardless of their own peril, went to the
rescue Of the struggling men in the water.
The men were all picked up and safely
taken ashore-some Of them in an ex-
hausted condition-by the two gallant Long
Beach fishermen. Ferd Alvarez and
Johnny McGarvin's heroic rescue of six
fellow creatures from death by drowning
certainly entities them to the medals given
by the government for heroism in saving
life endangered by water.

SOLDIERS HOME, March 2S.-Joseph
H. Keeney, commander of the John A.
Martin G. A. r. post at the home, has col
lected and forwarded from his comrades
over 500 to Ed c. Howe, editor of the Atchi-
son Globe, for the purpose of aiding in
erecting monument to the memory of
the late Brigadier General John A. Martin,
who was for long time resident manager
of the western branch N. II. d. V. S.,
colored, of the celebrated Eighth Kansas
regiment, and editor of the Atchison
Globe. His memory is loved and respected
for his many kind and sterling qualities by
every old soldier who ever came in con-
tact with him. The G. A. r. post at the
home is named after him.
The home was completely taken possess
sion Of on Saturday afternoon, the 26th, by
the young ladies and gentlemen of the
high school of Los Angeles. They ar
rived in two special cars of the Santa Mon

Beamis.
Among the deaths at the home during
the week were two most notable ones. The
first was that Of Comrade M ]. Tobin, late
of the United States navy, who was buried
on the 26th inst. Comrade Tobin for the
last four years suffered torments from the
growth of a cancer in his face, but bore
his long sufferings with the patience of a
true Christian. The other was John TYNE,
the victim Of an accident. He was found
on Thursday morning lying unconscious
at the foot of the bluff in Santa Monica
He never rallied, but succumbed to his in
juries on the morning of the goth.
The home will soon be blessed with the
greatest need, an abundant supply of pure
and wholesome water. The line of the
West Los Angeles Water company, which
has the contract for supplying the home. is
fast approaching, being now within two
miles from the home. AS they have from
SC to 100 men at work laying the pipe it can
not be long before the line is completed.

ANAHEIM'S CANNERY
All Preliminaries Are Now Satisfac-
torily Arranged

ANAHEIM, March ga large and en-
thusiastic meeting on behalf of the new
on Monday. A. H. Cargill occupied the
chair. The committee in charge of the
subscription lists was requested to report
progress The report was listened to with
deep interest, for it was definitely under
stood that If sufficient stock had not been
subscribed to bring the capital sum up to
the $4,000 mark the cannery would go to
Fullerton. The reports of the members of
the committee ELECTED applause, and the
excitement grew intense when it became
evident that only some eighty shares had
to be disposed of in order to secure the can
merry, and these were at once subscribed at
the meeting. The financial part of the
program having been disposed of, letter
was read from Messrs. Fleischer and Ret
now Of San Diego offering to incorporate
their pickle and preserving plant with the
cannery on condition that they be given
an interest in the management. They agree
to, take stock in the cannery to amounts
covering their plant. The letter was ia
vorably criticized and the proposition re-
ferred to the board of directors, which con-
sists of Messrs. Melrose. Cargill, Stern,
Fay, Rodgers, Bill and Gunter. The final
step towards making the cannery a GER
tainty was taken when the following gem
tlemen were appointed q committee to file
articles of incorporation: Messrs. Rodgers,
Benchley, Melrose, Dickel, Fay and Stern.
This committee together with the board
of directors met with Attorney Melrose af-
ter the close of the meeting and perfected
some Of the details that will secure the
cannery for Anaheim. 1t is expected that
the plant will be in full running order by
the LIST Of June and while 1t may not yield
a large dividend for the first year, 1t is
confidently expected that by and by it
will not only employ large number of
hands but be the means of circulating at
least 100000 yearly through the commun-
ity Now that the ice is broken and Ana
helm has secured its first manufacturing
enterprise there is every reason to hope
that further industrial development will
soon follow. With the Santa Fe at one
end of the town and the Southern Pacific
at the other and exhaustless oil wells on
the hills around it, Anaheim has every ia
cility for transforming itself into a man
ufacturing center and increasing her pop
ulation by leaps and bounds.

viable Records


RIVERSIDE, March 29.-Sheriff Johnson
who has been making some investigations
into the past record Of the mine Opera
tors" Clay and Jackson, who are charged
with having swindled several Riverside
mine owners, has received a number of
letters from eastern points where the men
have previously operated. In these it is
shown that they are a hard pair who have
been pursuing questionable ways for many
years past. In fact one of the missives
states that Clay is an ex-convict and that
he as we'll as Jackson have been engaged
in many transactions in the past few
years in Missouri as well as other states
that should have earned them terms in jail.
The second examination of Jackson on a
charge of swindling was concluded today
but the court will not give decision until
tomorrow.
Clay has not been arrested as yet. but 1t
is understood that a vigorous attempt will
be made at once to get him. He is known
to be in the vicinity of Kansas City,
Jim Marchant one of the owners Of the
mines has made another start for the

and Jackson and he in consequence did not
lose any money as he would not put up.

MEETING OF TEACHERS
Large Attendance and More Than the
Usual Interest

SAN BERNARDINO, March 29.-The
Teachers institute, which opened Monday,
is said to be so far one of the best in point
of attendance and interest ever held in this
county. The walls are hung with thou
sands of samples of art work from the diff
ferent grades and schools of the county.
The program was opened with DR.. G. G.
Van Lew of Los Angeles, who gave lee
ture on history and one on geography, each
in two sections, that were practical and in
terest ting. DR.. w. w. Roblee of Riverside
devoted two sections of the day to lectures
on physical culture, and the deformities
of the school room, illustrated by living
specimen, a little boy of thirteen, who was
perfect working model for the docotr. If
the views expounded are carried out by the
teachers it will make vast Improvement
in the schools of the county. Another in
teresting talk was made by Professor Fer
nando Sanford of Stanford university upon
the course of scientific study for the pri-
mary grades, that opened up new field for
the teachers. The evening was devoted
to reception, at which the center of at
traction was Fred Emerson Brooks of New
York, the poet reciter, who gave several
selections during the evening. The mu-
steal portion of the evening was in the
hands of the class of boys under Miss Mil
ler's direction, who gave several college
songs eXcellently, and the Treble clef Of
the girls Of the class of 49, under the di
rection Of G. p. Skinner. The main in
terest of the morning session centered in
talk on natural elocution by Fred Emerson
Brooks, illustrated, but owing to the late
arrival of State Superintendent S. T.
Black his paper on history ran so late
that the time was cut little short, but he
promised to remain over and give them an.
other talk tomorrow AS it was, he de-
voted nearly an hour to his subject, to the
great delight of his audience. The hall
was crowded.

stead of quarterly, as is now done with
