HUMBOLDT GIVES
UP DEAD

Wednesday afternoon man IS
clothes were discovered lying on the
bank of the Humboldt river, short
distance above the bridge. From pa
pers found it was ascertained that the
apparel was the property of Arthur
Bellen, young man who had been in
town but short time.
A search was at once instituted for
the body, and yesterday afternoon it
was found by Richard See in clump
of willows at the waters edge short
distance below where the clothes were
found.
Yesterday Judge Robins empaneled
a jury, which returned a verdict that
deceased came to his death by acci-
dental drowning.
The local officials communicated with
deceased Is relatives in New York City,
who at first ordered the interment to
take place here. Later wire was re-
ceived asking the cost OF preparing the
body and shipping to New York. This
message was answered by Alter &
Alter, and awaiting final reply the
remains are being held at the under
taking parlors.

WEALTHY men TO
BE JAILED

Pursuant to an order made yesterday
by Superior Judge A. M Seawell, San
Francisco, deputy sheriffs are securing
the city for five millionaires, trustees
of the Miller & Lux Co., who have been
ordered imprisoned in the county Jail
without the privilege of bail until a
payment of $4,000 is made to Mrs.
Melissa A. Potter, holder of 1894
shares of stock in the corporation. The
men for whom bench warrants were is
sued by Judge Seawell are Henry Mil
Ter, president of the company, j. Leroy
Nickel, Edward I. Allen, Louis E.
Montheagle and Gustave Gotsch.
Mrs. Potter's attorneys allege that
the money demanded Is accumulated
dividends, but that the trustees have
refused payment, offering in lieu
thereof stock in the Miller Lux cor
poration of Nevada. Three weeks ago
the order was made for the payment of
the money, and when Mrs. Potter s
attorneys appeared and notified the
court that the amount was still due the
bench warrants were issued.

GRAFT JURY UNA.
Bile TO AGREE

At 10:45 o'clock Wednesday night
County Commissioner Charles A. Wor-
den, DIR. ID. w. Cowen and c. s. Briggs,
of Rawhide, charged by indictment
with conspiring to defraud the county,
the trial of which case will mark it as
one of the most remarkable in the his
tory of Jurisprudence in this state,
were exonorated by Goldfeld jury o.
l2 of their peers; at least, to the sat.
isfaction of their friends, and almost to
the exacting demands of the law itself.
Save for the obstinacy of a solitary
Juror. who declared that he would re.
main firm in his position until dooms-
day, the accused men would have been
absolutely vindicated.
The jury stood IL to l when it fled
into the district court room at the hour
mentioned and announced, in answer
to the query, that it was hopelessly
contending for a verdict. The court
polled the body and each answered that
they could not agree, and Judge
Somers, after few mplimentary re.
marks ordered them discharged.
Eleven to one for acquittal of the
three defendants, was the way the jury
in the so-called graft cases from
Rawhide stood. The one juror for con
vietion was g. b. Ports. Mr.. Ports
name doses not appear on the books of
the county as taxpayer.
1t was said that If the jury was dis
charged for its inability to agree, the
district attorney would move for a dis
missal of the action, thus wiping off
the slate for all time to come the much
vaunted graft inquiry into the
county hospital at Rawhide. This
would release Charles A. Worden,
deputy county health officer. and in
charge Of the hospital, and G. s Briggs
druggist at Rawhide. They were charg-
ed with conspiring to defraud the
county hospital at Rawhide by pre-.
senting padded and fictitious bills "a
the commissioners for drugs and sup
plies furnished the hospital, and for
the care of patients that properly
should not have been classed as county
patients. The defense was elaborate
and admittedly strong. The claim was
also made by the defense that the en-
tire prosecution was an attempt to
overthrow the Republican county com
missioners and again enthrone the
Democratic majority, which could be
effected by the appointment Of Dem
ocrat in Mr.. Worden's place.

LAND ONLY FOR AC.
TUAL SETTLERS

SPOKANE, Wash, July 3.-Soldiers
of fortune and spectators will get
short shift if they register for any of
the Indian lands in western Montana,
northern idaho and eastern Washing
ton, where 100000 acres will be thrown
open on August g. Those who register
simply to try their luck, when they
have neither the money with which to
make the first payment nor the inclina
tion to cultivate the land, and others
who seek land only to sell their re-
linquishment or hold il as an invest
ment without making permanent homes
are barred. They can and may regis
ter, but in doing so they perjure them
selves. If any cases are brought to
the attention of the government and
proof accompanies the charge of per-
jury, the offenders will face the courts
The government desires tillers of the
soil, who actually need homes and will
farm the lands. James W. Witten,
superintendent in charge of the open
ing, has sent an appeal to the registry
points in Spokane, Occur d'Alene,
Idaho, and Kalispell and Missoula,
Mont, urging residents to see that JUS
tice is done to those who are seeking
the land for actual settlement and that
all others are weeded out.

RESIGNS POSITION HERE
TO GO TO OGDEN

Yesterday morning Prof. and Mrs.
B. A. Perkins left for Seattle, where
they will visit the exposition.
Before leaving Prof. Perkins resign
ed his position as principal of the high
school, to which he was reelected last
week The Professor has accepted a
call to the science department of the
Ogden schools. Being of a scientific
turn of mind, it is probable that the
Professor considered the new position
more congenial.
During the year he occupied the prin-
cipal IS chair at the public school, Prof
Perkins gained an enviable reputation
as an instructor, and the trustees, as
well as teachers and pupils, are disap-
pointed at his action.

PRACTICAL MAN ON
PROHIBITION

In its issue of June Is, the New
York Sun prints a two-column signed
article from the pen of Adolphus
Busch, of the st. Louis firm of An
heuser- Busch Brewing association. AT
ter reviewing existing conditions in
the country today, and the efforts be
ing made by the prohibitionists to de-
stroy the brewing industry, Mr.. Busch
states the belief that all practical re-
quirements can be met by regulating
the saloons, and closes with the fol
lowing:
Divorce the saloon from the brewery
and liquor supply house.
1t is a fact that most breweries and
liquor supply houses furnish the capi-
tai with which to start new customers
in new saloons. They are forced to do
this by competition. preservation
in given locality requires them to
which would not be necessary or pos
sible if the law afforded reasonable
regulation.
If all competitors were compelled to
refrain from that kind of forced com
petition the public would still obtain
its reasonable requirements of beer and
liquors, the saloon keeper would become
more Independent of his source of sup
ply, and the business of brewing
would attain the ideal condition of
manufacturing and selling merchan
disc.
The system of licensing saloons, sub
ject to good behavior and of keeping
them constantly under the jurisdiction
of the license commissioner, forfeiting
the license in any case if the estab-
hshed regulations are violated, has
proved so effective in reforming the
saloon that it should be adopted gen
orally, and especially in small towns
and rural districts where, through lack
come offensive.
Breweries Should Aid Public.
/ believe that breweries should help
to guard and protect the public against
bad saloons by helping the license com
missioner to ascertain whether a given
man is worthy to receive or keep IL
IN
with any saloon keeper of bad char
aeter or who does not strictly comply
with the regulations imposed by law.
In advocating this method of regula-
tion | am not unmindful of the thous-
ands of saloon keepers who have been
my loyal friends. 1t is my conviction
by it.
Having endeavored Tor many years
to purify my business by refusing to
sell to the proprietors of any saloons
which | knew to be disreputable,
would now welcome any law which will
afford reasonable method of separat-
ing the brewery from the saloon, to
the mutual benefit of both.
When the saloon is divorced from the
brewery, the brewer will have no more
political power or influence than any
other manufactures whose only hold on
his retailer consists in the quality of
his product and the reasonableness of
its price.

All reports are to the effect that the
revolution is spreading in spite of the

half of the revolutionists, and other
Americans from adjoining countries
are crossing the line to join the rebels.

ANOTHER VERSION.

Sporting Editor Star:-Just to put
the public right on the matter, l wish
to state that the morning paper made
mistake when it blamed a local
youth for starting a fight by handing
out insulting dope.
The right statement of facts is a
local youth, becoming jubilant at win
ming some money from the marines,
jingled it between his hands saying
to the marines, easy money, you fell
lows are easy, and got soaked in the
eye for his trouble; and when he
showed fight three more marines
jumped him making the town youth
run into bunch of Town enthusiasts
for protection, just then things began
to happen and the marines came out
second best.
Thanking you for this space in your
columns, | remain, Yours very res
pectfully,
