The preliminary examination OF Frank
J. Mitchell, charged with the murder of
Frank McAuliffe on October s. was COM
menced before Judge Mogan yesterday.
Attorney Reel B. Terry appeared for the
defendant.
The evidence for the prosecution was
about the same as given at the Coroner's s
inquest. Joseph McAuliffe, the murdered
Flynns saloon, Twenty-fourth and Ala
bama streets, with Mitchell and his
brother and others, and Mitchell asked
him 10 pay a bill for groceries. They had
a dispute about the amount Of the bill,
returned with a revolver. He pointed the
revolver at witness twice and then fired
at Frank. on CrOss-eXaminatiOn he de-
MED that any one struck Mitchell.
Abe GOldenSOn, a contractor at 6lb Flor
ida street. testified that he heard Mitch
ell say to Joe McAuliffe that he could
prove it Mitchell went away, and as
he was returning he saw Frank run to-
ward him and try TO snatch something
out OF his hand. Mitchell made for Joe,
and witness went back into the saloon.
AS he was coming out again he heard a
shot
afterward he heard a shot. He took a
revolver from Mitchell and placed him
under arrest. Mitchells face and collar
were covered with blood and his chin and
lip were cut and bleeding.
This closed the case for the prosecution,
and Captain Gillen was called for the de-
fense. He testified as to the condition of
MitchelTs face when taken 70 the station.

WATER FLOWED OUT
OF THE SOLID ROCK
Unexpected Spring Found by Tun-
nelers in the Mountains Back
of Mnntecito.

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. B-While
tunneling for water in the mountains
back Of Montecito, five miles from this
CITY. and at a depth of 1855 feet, miners
struck the largest flow Of water ever
known to be found at one time in noun
tain development. So sudden was the
strike that the miners had difficulty in
escaping unintured, and several who
were at the further end were thrown to
the ground The flow. which has been
estimated at about thirty miners inches,
including three or four inches previously
struck came very Unexpectedly and from
a formation that has bewildered all ex-
perts who have claimed that no water
existed in such formation The water
rushed from all sides. right out Of the
solid rock, with no shale or clay indica-
tions The flow in the last twenty-four
hours has increased instead Of dimtn-
ished.
As is usual in such a strike the work
men are at a loss to proceed with their
contract, as it IS impossible to enter the
tunnel and blasting Is out of the question.
The tunnel is flooded, the track leading
to the farther end on which ran the small
rock cars IS washed away and Cold

JUDGE EDGAR
INDIGNANT 7 At
JUDGE ALLEN
Fines His Office for
Being ardy.
Oakland Office San Francisco Cali,
9OS Broadway. Oct. Is.


For the first time on record the District
Attorneys office was fined $50 yesterday
by Justice of the Peace Edgar. An ex-
animation in a felony charge was set for
yesterday morning in the Berkeley court
and although all other parties were pres
ent and ready to proceed, no representa-
tive from the District Attorneys office
appeared, Lor was any excuse sent or re-
quest for a continuance.
Judge Edgar waited a reasonable time
but hearing nothing, he declared that the
District Attorneys office was in contempt
of court and imposed a fine Of $50 on the
office.
1t transpired later that a deputy hac
been ordered to attend to the Berkeley
trial, but that a mistake had been mad'
in the time, and when this explanation
was made to the Judge he magnanimous-
ly excused District Attorney Allen from
having to pay the $50.
This is the second skirmish that mas
occurred within a few weeks between the
District Attorneys office and the Berke-
ley court which is only just four
months old. Two weeks ago Judge Ed
gar took it upon himself to appoint an
official stenographer for the court. and
the bill for service was declared Illegal
by the District Attorney on the ground
that only the District Attorney can ap-
point official stenographers in the JUS
tees courts This incident caused a
little friction which was not subdued by
the little event of yesterday.

ARCHITECT BENARD
TO VISIT BERKELEY

BERKELEY, Oct. B.-Monsieur Bernard
of Paris, the architect whose plans IN the
Phebe Hearst architectural competition
were awarded the first prize, will visit
the site of the University of alifornia
probably some time early next month, A
cablegram was received at Berkeley to-
day saying that the distinguished archi-
tect left Paris yesterday. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Hearst intends o leave
for the East shortly. She will return in
time to consult with Monsieur Bernard
during his stay in the university town.
The object of the architects visit is to
look over the university grounds, prelim-
mary to giving the final touches to his
plans before any part Of them is put lnto
The plans themselves are soon to be
shipped to Paris. to be exhibited at the
Paris Exposition. They will be given a
place in the section reserved for French
architects instead of going as a part of
the exhibit of the University of Califor-
MIA The reason for this is that the
amount of space reserved for California
is much too insufficient to give the de-
signs the display their Importance de-
served.
