T. G.. McGregor, who assisted in the
nost-mortem examination of Good
speed's body, testified tnat in his opirl-
ion death was due to opium poison
ing.
DR.. Samuel B. Given, into whose Of
flee Goodspeed was taken when strick-
an with the fatal illness, stated that
the young man, before he died, said he
believed his condition was the re-
suit of smoking cigar, he had partly
consumed and tnen thrown away.
The girl in question has not as yet
bsen arrested, but will be subpenaed
as a witness at the inquest.

BRYAN URGES ORGANIZATION.
Democrats Are CounseIed to Get To-
gether.

LINCOLN, Neb., March Civ. J..
Bryan has begun his campaign for 1908.
In the forthcoming issue of the Com
moner, Mr.. Bryan says he has received
many letters from the rank and file of
democrats announcing their readiness
to begin the fight and asking for sug-
gestions. These he gives in the follow
ing paragraph:
to attend all of the primaries of his
party to be held between now and the
next democratic national convention
and to use his influence to secure a
clear honest and straightforward de-
claration of the party's position on
every question upon which the voters
of the party desire to speak. This
plan does not involve the writing of a
platform in advance of the primaries,
it does not rest upon the paramount
Importance of any one issue. It recog-
nizes the right of the democratic vo-
tiers to control the policy of the demo-
cratic party and to determine it's posi-
ton upon public questions. 1t also re-
cognizes the Importance of honesty and
sincerity in politics.
Mr.. Bryan closes by pledging the CO.

After this hustle and reaction stirred
the crowd and they thronged about

No opportunity was given newspa-
permen to speak with either. Both
women were surrounded by several
men and hustled into carriages, which
Immediately drove away In Miss
Berner's carriage were her brother and
Detectives Callundan and Reynolds.
This perhaps was the most sifinificant
fact brought out in the days series

Miss Berner's privacy and whether or
not she was under surveillance re-

funeral cortege wound it's way slowly

by double lines of foot and mounted

NUGGETS FLOAT IN STREETS.

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal March 21.
-"Eureka," shouted an old prospector
this morning on the street in the heart
of the business section of the city. A
great flood of water had been flowing
through the street all night long from
the foothills and the old miner had
discovered some flakes of gold in the
crevices between the cobble stones.
Taking out his clasp-knife the miner.
delved into the gravel which had been
washed down by the water and he soon
had several dozen flakes of gold in his
hand and a great crowd around him.
The news that gold was floating
down E street quickly spread over the
city and the men were not alone in
the quest for the golden metal. Women
shoppers were attracted by the crowd,
and as the line stretched farther and
farther along the street some of the
women began to dig into the crevices
with hatpins.
There are different theories in regard
to the gold. Some believe it was
washed into the street from Lytle
creek canyon, nearly nine miles dis
tant, but the most plausible explana-
ton is that it was washed out of the
heaps Of sand which had been dug out
of E street, and had been washed into
the cutters by the recent rains.
The crevices in the gutter were
searched clean for distance OF six
blocks by the men and boys.
Many amateur prospectors are pre-
pairing to trace the streams to the
mountains tomorrow in the effort to
find the mother lode.

who married at the age of eleven years,
was granted a divorce by Superior
Judge Morris. The court found from
the evidence that the woman did not
know the meaning of the marriage
ceremony at tine time that a minister
in Hudson, Wis, made her the wife of
Warren j. Haney. The woman was
married in 1889 through her step
mother, making false representations
to her as to the nature of the cere-

She convinced the girl that if she
would go through the form of a mar
riage ceremony with Haney he would
take care of her. When friends of the
girl learned what she had done they
supplied her with funds to leave home.
She never lived with the man to whom
she was married. The court declared
that as the woman after reaching her
majority had never ratified the mar
riage it was illegal. A decree of di-
vorce was signed and the woman was
given the right to her maiden name.

fact that Mr.. Starrow left Walla Walla
several days ago with a force of men
lends color to the story. President
Anderson of the Northwestern Gas &

from the local officers Of the company.
The land that it is proposed to take
under the scheme lies in the Butter

600 acres. 1t was in that section that
the government at one time proposed
to do some reclamation work, but ow-

abandoned. Recently, however, the

To raise water from the Columbia
pumps and convey it by bitches and
pipe lines over about 100000 acres of
arid land in the Echo section of Una
tilla county, is the latest move in irri-
cation schemes. 1t is claimed that a
number of capitalists of Umatilla
county are back of the scheme and
that plans for carrying out the pro-
ject are we'll in hand. 1t is stated on
good authority that for some time the
promoters of the scheme have been at
work on~the proposition and that suffi-
cient investigation has been made to
warrant sending out a party of engi-
neers to go over the land and perform
the preliminary surveys.
According to the plan it is proposed
to install a large pumping plant either
on the Umatilla river, near Echo, or
the Columbia river, near Umatilla
Junction, raise the water and carry it
on to the lands through a large canal
or pipe line.
1t is proposed to secure power for
the pumping plant from the electric
