Over $4,000.

committed suicide Monday evening.
was cashier have disclosed surprise
after surprise and the situation is ex-
traordinary in the extreme.
While no definite result upon which
an official report could be based has
been reached, 1t appears on the face of
things that there is shortage of some
thing like $4,000
1t was found that $4,000 in notes,
which were in the vaults of the bank
and apparently were originals, are
merely copies. They had been counted
as assets ali the time, while it now
transpires that the originals had been
deposited with a Chicago bank as col
lateral for their face value. Another
apparent discrepancy is the failure of
the books to show the issuing of $22,-
600 worth of certificates. There Is an
ether item of $4,000 which does not app
pear 10 be satisfactorily accounted for.
Mr.. Utterback had served as cashier of
the institution, of which his father,
Josiah Utterback, is president, for
more than twenty yeas. He had no
vice, ana the whole affair is shrouded
In mystery.
The dead man must have suffered
terrible agony before nerving himself
to the terrible deed. as is shown by
the extreme difficulty with which
he accomplished his purpose. His arms
were bent with rheumatism. SO that he
could no. raise or lower them. He
could not bend them in such way as
10 direct bullet at his brain. In this
emergency he procured an iron tube
and placed one end over the barrel OF
the weapon and permitted the other
end to rest against his temple. Even
then his crippled fingers could not pull
the Trigger and 1t was necessary fo-
him TO take his cane with his left hand.
reach over to his right and pull the
trigger with the handle.
The bank had become embarrassed
and the directors called meeting at
which. of course. the cashier was ex-
pected to attend. After waiting several
hours Utterback's brother-in-law was
sent for him, and on going toward the
barn heard shot and fall. Rushing
in with his sister. they found him
grooming on the floor, begging to be
LEFT to die.

Mrs. Elizabeth c. Phillips, bene-
hciary under Bertha Dolbeer's will TO
the amount Of 10000, declared TO the
jury in Judge Coffey's court yesterday
that the testatrix was Of unsOund mind
when she made disposition Of her es-
tate. Mrs. Phillips was a cousin Of
John DOlbeer. the father Of Miss Dol
beer. and was one Of the few relatives
that the young heiress remembered in
her testament.
To the casual observer this testimony
in behalf OF the contestants came like
n thunderbolt from the blue. Should
the statements Of the witness be con-
vincing 10 the jury-should the viii
bet set aside and the law Of succession
made TO apply-Mrs. Philips would not
be entitled TO a cent Of the 1000. 900
estate. IN other words. il looked as if
Of $4,000. And she stated frankly that
now 10 get money enough for herself
and husband 10 live on. But she had
been compelled TO come to court, she
said, and once on the stand must tell
the truth Of Miss DoIbeer's condition,
no matter the consequences.

surprise, however. and in the cross
examination. which was pressed with

Did not Mr.. Williamson point out TO you

OF importing Chinese women to this

also refused to receive him, and Da

DREDGE MINING CAUSE
OF ARGUMENT IN NORTH
Citizens of Marysville Call Meeting to
Discuss Question of Great
ImDOrtanCe.

MARYSVILLE, Nov. IA public
meeting has been called for Saturday
afternoon at the City Hall for the
purpose of considering the dredge
mining question. George Hutchins,
Howard Reed, T. B. Hull, B. F. Wal
ton and Cline Bull, all prominent
farmers of Yuba and Sutter counties,
signed the call. If sufficient cause is
found legal steps to stop this method
of mining or place it under restric-
tiCns will be undertaken. 1t was here
the fight against hydraulic mining
started. The people are apparently
not yet very decided whether dredge
mining is injurious, but the steps now
being taken are expected to settle the
matter.
Recently several million dollars
were invested by capitalists in dredge
mining lands along the Yuba River,
from four to nine miles east of Marys-
vile, where vast quantities of gravel
and sand from the hydraulic mines
filed the old river channel To get at
the former channel the dredgers
moved all the accumulated debris. 1t
is feared by some that much of this
debris will drift down stream and add
to the already deplorable conditions
existing here and farther down the
valley.
