DIDN'T DO A THING TO HIM.
YOUNG PoSTEN REPEATS HIS
DOLEFUL STORY.
Trial of William Holmes, the s'Real
Thing" Divekeeper, for
Grand Larceny.

The trial of William Holmes, charged
with grand larceny, was begun yester-
day in Judge Johnson's court E. S.
Wachhorst, Deputy District Attorney,
is conducting the prosecution and the
prisoner is defended by John C. March.
Holmes was one of the proprietors
of the Real Thing" dive on K street,
between Third and Fourth, and with
his partner, ]. H. Mosher is charged
with having robbed a young man
named A. Poster of $40 and his gold
watch on the night of January 18th.
Poster testified yesterday that he re-
Gently came here from Davenport, Ia,
and while strolling about town on the
night in question fell in with a couple
of women. He treated them to a few
drinks, after which they had an oyster
supper The trio next found themselves
in back room in the Mosher- H Dimes
Realizing dive, where they were
promptly supplied with a round of
drinks, for which Poster paid.
Rounds followed in quick success
cession, and his small silver giving out
he laid a $40 paper note on the tray.
Another round of drinks came in, but
no change. The whisky tasted bitter,
but being assured it was all right he
drank it and soon commenced to feel
sick and stupid. He had sense enough
to demand his change, however, but
was told that was all right.
Soon Holmes entered the room and
became quite sociable with him and
finally took him into another room, he
PosteD all the time becoming more
and more stupid. After awhile, Pos
ten said, he discovered that his other
500 was gone. He declared he had
been robbed. but received no satisfac-
ton from either Holmes or Mosher On
another round of drinks being sent in,
he put up his watch as security there
for
Finally he fell into a stupor, and the
next thing he knew he found himself
on the street about daylight and made
his way to the Police Station, where
he told his story.
Mrs. Moore, one of the women who
was in the Real Thing place with Pos
ten, corroborated his testimony thus
far but added that after Poster had
disa appeared she and her female COM
panion were assured by Mosher and
Holmes that he was all right and
would be cared for. They were then
taken to a restaurant by Mosher and
treated to meal. One of the $40
notes was shown them, and they were
told to come around whenever they
needed a couple of dollars or so.
Mrs Moore said she protested
against the saloon men taking Posten's
watch as security for the drinks after
his $40 had disappeared, but was
roughly told to mind her own business
There were not many witnesses to be
examined, and the case may be finished
to-day The testimony will be prac-
tically the same as that taken at the
preliminary examination.

The Mokelumne District Now Has
a New One.

Lower Siwash now has one of the
largest and handsomest school build :
ings in the county. The schoolhouse
in Mokelumne District was burned last
spring, and has been replaced by a
fine new building, which is up to date
in every respect.
The people of this district take great
pride in their schoolhouse and grounds,
and several of the prominent families
have done much to make a compare
lively small tax go a long way, by
boarding the workmen and hauling the
lumber free of charge.
Louis Nicolaus and Mr.. CLAIM, the
wealthiest residents of Siwash, have
given freely, both of time and money,
to make the enterprise a success. The
beautiful bell, which can be heard for
miles around, was a present to the
school.
School opened, with Miss McLanahan
as teacher, on Monday, February Doth,
