.MEHEULA's TRIAL.

L
Solomon Meheula was put on trial in
the Federal court yesterday morning for
having, as Clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives in 1903, destroyed certain
vouchers of the seasonal expenses of
that body, contrary to the United
States statute against the destruction
of public documents.
j. r. Dunno, Assistant District Attor-
ney. appeared for the United States,
and c.. w. Ashford for the defendant.
The following jury was empaneled
without difficulty: Ernest A. r. Ross,
George Hawley, A. Mckenzie, George
w. HayseIden, A. G. Ferguson, Robert
Roth, James Merseberg, Fl. W. Adams,
C. E. Calvert and John Coffee.
When the court resumed at 2 o'clock
after the noon recess Juror Calvert was
absent and inquiry brought the in
formation that he had been taken i'll.
Court and counsel discussed what was
to be done-continue the trial. begin
anew to empanel another jury or pro-
coed under a stipulation with the eleven
jurors present. Mr.. Ashford suggested
the aforementioned course, while Mr..
Dunno preferred waiting to see If Mr..
Calvert could not attend within rea-
sonable time. Judge Dole wanted first
of all to receive a doctors certificate
of the jurors condition Deputy Mar
shall Winter through the use of the
telephone was able to report that the
medical certificate was being sent in
and that the physician believed Mr..
Calvert would be able to resume his
seat as a juror in the morning.
Judge Dole then excused the jury UNI
til o'clock this morning. In the mean
time an argument between counsel be-
gan ON the admissibility of circumstan-
tial evidence. Judge Dole ruled in favor
of the evidence, which consists of
vouchers still extant.
The question arose after Mr.. Ash
ford refused to admit that the book
of House vouchers of 1903 contained
what it purported to do. Then An
drew Adams, a member of the grand
Jury, was called TO prove the vouchers,
but Mr.. Ashford objected to the ques-
ton if witness had been such MEM
Der. Defendants counsel claimed the
record was best evidence, hence Walter
B. Mailing. clerk of court, was put on
to prove the jurorship of Mr.. Adams.
When the latter returned to the
stand, Mr.. Ashford objected to the
course the examination was taking.
Mr.. Dunno, the witness being excused
pending argument. stated that he in
tended to prove that Meheula told the
grand jury that the book contained all
Of the vouchers, whereas in fact 20
were missing and in seven of these the
defendant was personally interested.

EXTREMELY RICH STRIKE
A Streak Of Fabulously Rich Ore
Opened Up in the Next
President Mine.

p. r. Alsdorf this week made an assay
from a sample of ore taken from the
Next President mine on German mount
ain, which gave the best results OF any
assays we have ever seen taken in this
county. The sample weighed II ounces
OF crude dirt, and whom assayed down
showed that it had value OF 769.10
ounces Of gold per ton, or sl5,992 per
ton. The ore was taken from the 465-
foot east stope, and streak two inches
wide OF this ore is in streak OF ore
nine inches in width. This mine is one
OF group Of five which are under lease
and bond to William Woods and Ii. p.
Davies of this city, and they have had
this rich ore streak for several days,
thus showing its continuoueness. The
group comprises the Next President,
Bledsoe, Branch, Foote and Simmons
and Messenger lodes, and we believe
they have a fine property here as no
depth has been attained in either OF
them, but rich pockets have been found
on the surface. This strike is the rich
eet OF ALL and not much ore has ever
been uncovered that will return 50 per
pound. Work is soon to be commenced
on the Foote & Simmons, aud within a
few months it is hoped to have the en-
tire property at work.

Mere Rich Ore.

We were this morning shown an assay
from some ore taken from the Nugget
and Forest placer claim in Kansas Min
ing district. which showed 1O3 ounces
gold per ton, or value Of 5000 per
ton. This property is owned by II. H.
Hall. Joseph Zeigler and others of this
city. The sample was taken frem grab
lot of sand picked up by Alfred Wettstein

This section of the county will soon be

values are there.

There was pause. Between Sharpe's
