IT. iSauSio tO ooatc ies iuis oa escape its consequences. The San Bernardino Free Press thus speaks of the coming victory for democracy in the Golden State:
 Tin this state we have a condi- tion that will elect Theodore A. Bell by the largest majority that has been accorded any governor elected in this state in the past sixteen years. Even though his opponent has taken to his platform much that was the outgrowth of the brains of Bell. it will not do Johnson much good. The people recognize in Theo dore A. Bell that which has kept him a leader of his party for four years. though defeated. He has the ability, the moral courage, the per sonality and character to carry tha, for which he stands.

LOCAL MAN WHO DEMANDED ssooo FROM BANK. IS CON- MITTED

In the probate cours at Tomb stone yesterday three men were com mitted to the state asylum and one was ordered removed to the county hospital at Douglas.
 Among the defendants was John DoReis. of this city. who demanded se,000 last week from Cashier Nj. J. Cunningham. of the Bank of Bisbee. DoReis said he had won the money in a faro game here four or five years ago and that he had the money on deposit in the bank.
 George St. John, of Douglas was also adjudged insane. St John is said to be desperate and becomes possessed with a desire to kill some one. He stated in court that he was aware of his weakness but said that he was unable to control him self when the desire seized him.
 Peter McGhee of Bowie, was com mitted. McGhee is suffering from a religious mania and every time he observes some object he falls on his knees and begins to pray.
 John Bertsum, who was found sew eral days ago at Paradise in a pre- carious condition, was ordered re- hz Douglas. Exposure caused Bertsum to become unbalanced. but he has i'm proved so steadily that it is believed he will fully recover. Prior to being found he had had nothing to eat for several days and had been sleep | ing out of doors.
 Colonel St. John is well known ir sonora mining circles ah,. in this city. where he formed many acouaint ances and friends upon his trips uI rom the south and will be taken t, the territorial asylum for the insane where he will remain at least unti relatives come from the East. to eth CT take him back or make other ar engagements for him.
