Spit-Up Occurs in Baptist Church at Val
dOsta, Ca, Over Wide Diff
ference of Opinion.

An unexpected spIit-up in the First
Baptist church Of Valdos.a. Ca, has
been the subject Of much discussion
locally.
At the conclusion of his II o'clock
sermon, Sunday morning, the pas or,

he had been requested to call a con
ference of the church. which he pro-
ceeded to do. Rev. Graham Forester
acted as moderator Rev. Christie then
read his letter Of resignation from
the pastorate, giving as his. principal
reason that he believed the time had
arrived for the establishment Of an
other church in the city, and that much
good could be accomplished by the
step.
Fifty-three other members, including
some of the most influential and prom.
inent communicates, called for their
letters and withdrew from the church.
The entire board of deacons and
church clerk also followed the pastor

five or six years, and he is regarded
as one of the leadiag preachers Of

MORE KEY MEN QUIT.

The telegraph operators employed
by the Western Union in Chicago went
on strike Thursday night at 10 o'clock
The trouble was precipitated by the

any longer with the non-union men on
the other end of the WIRE.

Night Clerk Harry Price ordered all
who refused to work to leave the Of
fee. He then went INFO other divisions
and requested the men to go into the
overland division. In every case he
was met with refusal, until over 70
men had been sent home. The griev-
ances committee Of the union called
on Mr.. Price and notified him that
unless every man was reinstated by
midnight every union man in the Of
five would be called out.
This demand was refused and

loop chiefs, together with Night Man
ager Price and his two assistants,
left their keys and, with round Of
cheers, filed out o fthe office. The
men employed by the company at the
various morning newspapers had been
notified of the contemplated strike,
and they also quit work.
The national officials of the union
spent all day Thursday in an effort
to prevent the rank and file Of the or

their hands and calling a strike. The
men for weeks have maintained sui

BOND OF $21,OOO.
Mrs Elizabeth Reagan Will Be Trus-
 tee of Estate and Give Bond.

The question of whether Mrs Elizabeth Keegan should give bond for the protection of $21 ,000 for the benefit of her children, Edward a nd James, and the estate of Mary La fond, deceased daughter. was GC- cided this morning by Judge Curtis in the superior court. The question came before the court in the form of a suit by Attorney Lynch, administers tor on the estate of Mrs Lafond, against Mrs Keegan, and the circunl- stances enveloping it are these:
 In 1881 Edward Keegan, husbrnd of Mrs Keegan, died, leaving an es- tate worth $3,50O, consisting of a house and a few let's in the west side. Mrs keegan developed the property, expending about $7,500 on it. A few years ago the railroad company bought the entire property for $21,- 900 cash. This money was deposit ed in bank. Then arose the ques- tion, could Mrs Keegan compensate herself for this expenditure of ST. 800 out of this $21 ,O0O. She had a life interest in the estate, but it was to. go to the children upon her Ge- mise. She could use the estate for its own benefit, but there was like lihood of depreciating it through CT TOT of judgment.
 The result of the hearing before Judge Curtiss was that he orde, cd her to furnish bond of S21, ,000 nd appointed her trustee of the estate.

and Friday of lat week at Mile Lees
over the field to determine
the most favorable point fer laying
out and starting aood town on the

Mr.. Campbell stated to the Pioneer
editor that it will be the p,licy of the
500 company to direct Its efforts and
influence toward the building up Of
one good town at Mile Laos, to start
with at least. rather than distract the
minds and divide the energies of the
settlers at the lake, and those coming
into the country. by lying out and at.
tempting to build up several towns at
the fame time in close proximity to
one another.
The location of the town to be
founded, favored and doomed by the

been fully settled upon as yet, but its
location will in all probability be
announced to the public in the &C urse
of three or four weeks.
