Charged with obtaining $1,000 from
Mary j. Helm by false pretenses ana
with telling her stories of gold being
picked from a riverbed like you would
pick wheat from a bin," DR.. w. X.
Price, a Long Beach psychologist, was
placed on trial In Judge Wills court

Dredging company, which, according
to the complaint, does not exist.
In the complaint against Or. Price
ne is charged with telling Dr. Helm
that from $4,000 to $4,000 a day was
picked up from the bottom OF the COM
pany's property, supposed to consist OF
eleven miles OF the river bed OF the
American river.
On one occasion 1t is claimed ne
showed her bottle of gold dust val
ued at $S4, which he is alleged to nave
said he panned from the river peu
himself within a few minutes, so
thickly was the gold scattered around
by the action of the water.
The whole afternoon was taken up
in selecting a jury, the attorneys TOT
the prosecution and the defense both
being extremely careful in their selec-
tions. A few minutes before the jury
was completed and the complaint was
read by the clerk. The case was then
adjourned until this morning.
other suits of much larger proper
lions are pending in the superior court

eral days ago by II. c. Marsh of Long

by Marsh calls for the payment of
sG1 ,665 by reason of alleged false rep
reservations of the defendants in con-
nection with the stock of the National
God Dredging company.
Price and Dubois were the original
promoters of the company" and the
latter was supposed to have furnished
the dredger which was to dig the yell
low metal from the river bed like
wheat from a bin" Marsh, according
to his complaint, invested s16,26O in the
enterprise and seeks damages amount
ing to $41,665 and judgment for
$51 ,665.
According to Marsh, the defendants
told him they had been offered $4,000
n mile for the eleven miles of river
bed they were supposed to own IN Ell
dorado and Placer counties, that Du-
bois had taken $1,500,000 out of the
American and Sacramento rivers and
that Dubois had in his possession six
teen $1,000 gold bricks, nodded from
the yellow metal extracted from the
American river.
In view of the various charges the
trial of DR.. Price Is being watched
with great interest by the numerous
stockholders in the mining company.
This is the second trial of DIR. Price,
Miss Helm having secured a judg-
ment recently I'm a civil suit to re-
cover the money she had invested in
the stock of the company.

the jury had been out only few min

The models illustrated on this page show the FASH

is the coarse wolfe rose. in shot or the two tone eff
