STABBED IN HEAD
BY ANGRY WOMAN
Wounded Man Found in the Gutter
Near the Postoffice Refuses to
Tell the Name of His
Assailant

A man who gave his name as G. B.
Younce was found lying in the gutter
at Seventh street and Grand avenue,
near the postoffice, early yesterday
morning by two patrolmen. He had
received a severe cut over the left eye
and was weak from loss of blood
Younce was sent to the receiving hos
pital, where the laceration was stitched.
The man would tell nothing of how
he was hurt beyond the fact he was
cut by his sweetheart. He said he
lived at 439 South Grand avenue, but
the police think both the name and
address he gave are fictitious. He said
he was in the cigar business, but re-
fused to tell where.
HIT was found about Z o'clock in the
morning and it is thought he had been
lying in the street for nearly half an
hour. The man was very weak, but
insisted on being discharged late in
the afternoon.
From the story he told it is thought
he had probably had quarrel with
a woman which ended by his being
stabbed. Detectives were detailed on
the case, but having no information
to guide them say they were unable
to accomplish anything.
Employees of the postoffce say they
heard the man and woman quarreling
over some money matters and later
discovered a trail of blood leading
from the front of the building to the
rear.

CONDITIONS ON THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
SOMEWHAT IMPROVED
BY Associated Press.


SACRAMENTO, March 24.-Condi-
tions on the Southern Pacific lines are
much improved today, and although
much inconvenience and delay were
occasioned the line was open all the way
from San Francisco to ogden. Trains
are sent from San Francisco to Sacra-
mento by way Of Port Costa, Martinez,
Lathrop and Stockton and the washout
at Martinez being repaired Saturday
night, but at last reports the route by
way of Niles was still closed owing to
a slide which occurred there Saturday.
1t is expected that this will be re-
paired by tomorrow morning and that
the company will then have two routes
open from Stockton to San Francisco.
TO the east much delay is caused by
small slides that are continually block
ing the road, but trains are being dis
patched to ogden and others are arriv-
ing from that direction subject always
TO long delays and lack Of schedule.
The fast mail from the east, due
here at O'clock Saturday, did not ar
rive until 10 o'clock this morning and

HEAVY RAINS NEAR
STOCKTON CAUSE
FURTHER DAMAGE
nv AsqocIated Press,

bV ASSOClAIeu tTtsS'
STOCKTON, March 24.-As a result
Of the heavy rain in the mountains the
past two days stockton was visited by
another flood early this morning.
Water poured through the northern
part Of the town from east to west,
running knee deep from Channel to
Park streets, a distance of six blocks.
Weber avenue was also flooded to a
considerable extent, though the flood
was not nearly so bad as that of last
Wednesday Back water from Stock
ton channel flooded several streets in
the western part of the city.
The water rose steadily until about
o'clock this afternoon when 1t came
to a standstill and has since subsidized
an inch or more. Reports from UP
country are to the effect that the water
Is slowly falling all along the line and
it Is hoped that there will be no further
inundation.
At last accounts Roberts island
levees were holding and 1t is believed
II nothing unforeseen happens that the
reclamation districts which have not
already gone under will escape.
Weather conditions are unsettled.
This evening 1t Is pouring rain, with
Indications of another protracted
storm. Conditions may yet assume a
graver character and the outlook Is
discouraging.

v|S|ON|STS SEE
HEAVENLY KINGDOM

At the Occidental Heights Baptist
church last night the pastor, Rev.
L. A. Could spoke on Seeing the
Kingdom of God from the text, John
3:3, Except one be born anew he cam
not see the kingdom of God" Mr..
Gould said in part:
HE who has experienced a fresh, a
heavenly rebirth sees the kingdom of
God, and only he. Nicodemus did not
see it. You can If you will. Christian
ity is a vision and a fellowship.
"The Christian Visionist sees the
kingdom of God in it's beginning. He
perceives it intellectually, as theory
and a system. He beholds the rule of
God in heaven and on earth embryon-
ically established. The sermon on the
mount is the promulgation of the con-
stitution. The parallels set forth the
intensive and the extensive develop
ment of the divine spirit Christianity,
the new reign of God, with Christ as
king, is grasped as a perfect system,
perfectly adapted to all conditions ma
terial, social and spiritual, throughout
the universe, both now and forever.
This perfect system, developing into a
perfect state, in a perfect universe, per-
fectly satisfies the eyes of him who
sees.
1.-THE Christian visionist sees the
kingdom of God In Its progress. Ha
sees 1t experimentally. He enters into
the kingdom of heaven. He sings from
personal knowledge. Whereas l was
blind, now / see.' He possesses for
himself king. He revels in his rela-
tionship as a loyal subject. He ex-
perienees the complete harmony that
ensues from perfect divine human adj
justment. With the Greeks he says.
'Sirs, We would see Jesus. He sees
Jesus, the Jesus of Christmas, the Jesus
OF the TRANSPORTATION. the Jesus of
Easter. He exults In the fellowship of
this divine partnership.
THE Christian visionist sees the king
dom of God In its consummation. lie
beholds It In finality. His early pre-
vision becomes eventual postvision.
Symbol Is crystallized into substance.
Pearly gates. golden streets, CLASSY
seas. tuneful harps, brilliant temples
become spiritual realizations OF infinite
love, throughout eternal aeons. We
see him as he Is. We are like him.
We reign forever and ever.
Thus vision and fellowship, present
and eternal, are for the man whose eyes
are opened. The Christian alone sees.
If you would see you must be born
afresh."

evening, Justice Young performing the
ceremony.
Ed K. Manke, chauffeur, testifies
in his sworn affidavit that on a GER
tain day in 1906, and incidentally it
was the 23d, that one or the other of
the couple drew lemon in the garden
of love. He followed Hoffman and the
woman to the Justices office on New
High street and witnessed the mar
riage ceremony.
A servant in the employ of the Holt
mans. a man named Blumenthal, also
gives affidavit to the effect that he
heard Hoffman call the woman his wife

davits with her on her eastern trip.
