ROAD IS A SURE GO.
MassiIIon, Woo ster & Ma sfieid
Road Is Properly Financed
and Ready for Building.

Massillon, July "a. M. Parrish and
j. M. Quinby, Of Wooster. were in the
city Tuesday in the interest of the Mas
sillon, Wooster and Mansfield electric
road.
Talking of the project. the gentlemen
said that they had been successful be-
yond expectations and had secured fin
ancial backing for the line. Next FRI
day those who are said to be back of
the road will be in the city to confer
with parties who have given their con-
sent for the right of way.
The financial hackers will go over
the proposed route and see just what
is needed in the construction of the
line. Mr. Parrish says the road will
be a sure go. The financial hackers
are men who have plenty of money In
their own name and are in a position
to command any amount if needed. 1t
Is hoped that all those who have not
yet given their consent for the right Of
way will do so when the money men
visit them. 1t now looks as il the
road would be a certainty.

Took Rock From The Mine.

Last Sunday morning all was excite
ment at the Gwin mine. AS the night
shift men came off shift they were
greeted at the collar of the shaft by
Constable Kiser of Mokelumne Hill and
District Attorney McSorley. The con-
stable Immediately placed two of the
miners, John Ruhl aud a man named
Warner, under arrest, charging them
with taking gold bearing rock from
their place of LABOR.
For some time past suspicion has
rested upon these men, and on Sunday
morning the opportunity presented
itself to catch them redhanded. When
arrested they had rock IN their pockets
and dinner buckets. o. Lampson was
placed on guard at Ruhl's home in the
old Redman Hall at Dutch Flat, so that
no one could either leave or enter the
building. Later the building was
searched and in Ruhl's trunk was one
sack containing SO pounds and another
containing 10 pounds Of rock, with an
estimate value of $1,000.
Warner was boarding at Ludwick g
nearby, but nothing was found in his
room that could be used as evidence.
Warner was kept under arrest, but
Ruhl was released on bond. Warner has
been at the Gwin about four months,
while Ruhl has been in the employ of the
company for about three years and is a
man of family.

Now An Orange Grower.

Mr.. j. E. Huber of Azusa, Los
Angeles county, visited relatives in
lone for a few days recently. Last
Sunday, accompanied by his brother
George, he spent a few hours with
Jackson friends, including the editor
hereof. In May. 1896, Mr.. Huber
leased the New National Hotel here,
and, with Ben Ross as partner, con-
Quoted it a year or more. He then
bought his partners interest and with
Gilbert Boon NOW of the Globe) as chief
clerk, continued the business until july
1899, when he sold to Mr.. F. A. Voor-
heis, the present proprietor. Mr..
Huber made several thousand dollars
In the business, nearly all of which he
Invested in an orange ranch located
near Azusa where he took up his resi-
dence and with his family has lived
ever since.
Azusa is an incorporated city with a
population of about 800. 1t is on the
main line of the Santa Fe railroad,
about twenty-five miles east of Los
Angeles. 1t takes it's name from the
Azusa valley, of which it is the gem
city. The valley abounds in orange
groves, and Mr.. Huber owns one of
the most favorably situated in the
whole valley. Improved and full bear
ing orchards in his immediate vicinity
sell readily for $1,000 an acre.
